Chapter 358: A Captive

How much? Xu Shuzheng doubted his ears at the opportunity, how to guide the tactics, it would cost one or two million, isn't this blackmail, even if you invite military instructors from the great powers, you don't need so much money, this group of Fengjun is indeed from a beard, and they are crazy to think about money!

"This is a major military event, not a place to open the river, are you soldiers and generals in the army? If you borrow a few soldiers, you will need millions, is there any truth in this world? ”

"Secretary General Xu, our tactics are all on the battlefield, in exchange for the blood of the brothers, naturally we can't teach you in vain, of course, you can also not learn, completely rely on your own ability to defeat the pigtail army."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry, Cao Kun's subordinate Wu Peifu is not slow at all, they have already taken Zhuozhou and Liangxiang, and the Lugou Bridge is already in danger, as long as the Lugou Bridge is laid, they will be able to attack Beijing from the west road." Moreover, the Feng army is almost rested, and the army is about to take action and attack the pigtail army. ”

Zhang Tinglan mentioned Cao Kun, the muscles on Xu Shuzheng's face twitched, and now the contradiction between the direct line and the Anhui line is getting bigger and bigger, Cao Kun is so active in grabbing the merit this time, just to frustrate the old Duan's spirit, if he really lets the direct line take the lead, Duan Qirui's face will have no brilliance at all.

And the damned Zhang Tinglan even threatened Feng Jun to take action, he was simply forcing himself to be the boss, Xiao Zhuge who has always been resourceful was also extremely worried at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

"Secretary-General Xu, we don't have to limit ourselves to this little thing in front of us, we can imagine how to divide the power in Beijing after eliminating Zhang Xun, and how Feng Jun needs to express his position. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of bidding, as long as the price is right, we can talk about anything, otherwise now more than 10,000 soldiers are here, and there are more than 20,000 multilateral defense troops outside the border ready to go, I believe that Secretary General Xu is a smart person and knows what to do! ”

After Zhang Tinglan's words came out, Xu Shuzheng's heart trembled, Zhang Tinglan did find Duan Qirui's life, and now the whole world is in chaos. It was the time for the power to be reshuffled, Duan Qirui originally had the opportunity in his hand and was a very good card, but he let Feng Jun mix it up.

Li Yuanhong did not step down, and his direct line was ready to move. If Lao Duan wants to regain control of the world, he must obtain the support of the Feng army. Otherwise, don't try to clean up the mess. But it is not a simple matter to get the support of the Feng army, so you can only be slaughtered obediently.

The more Xu Shuzheng thought about it, the clearer it became, but his heart was extremely aggrieved, and he dealt with Fengjun several times, all of which were like this, and he couldn't take advantage of it at all. I also eat deflated frequently.

"As long as I give you the money, will the Feng army be able to support us?"

"When you talk about business, you have to pay a yard to a yard, and this time you spend some money to hire the officer corps of the Fengjun. It just reflects our mutual sincerity, and after that, let's move on to other things. ”

Millions can express a sincerity, this asking price is inevitably too high, right? Xu Shuzheng's heart is dripping blood, these beards in the Northeast are simply too ruthless! But under the low eaves, people can't help but bow their heads.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay a million, and I'll send people over immediately!"

Zhang Tinglan readily agreed, and a total of more than 20 Fengjun officers were summoned, led by Zhang Henian, and directly followed Xu Shuzheng to the front line in Fengtai. More than 20 people, a million oceans of wages, each of them costs forty or fifty thousand yuan, and their working hours are only a short day or two, or even only a few hours!

With such an expensive salary, I am afraid that it is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no such easy money to make. Xu Shuzheng scolded in his heart along the way, and Zhang Henian followed closely, but he looked heartless.

"General Xu, in fact, it is not very difficult to deal with mortars and grenades, the most haode way is for you to also equip yourself and train for a period of time, and you can form combat effectiveness. Let me tell you that these two weapons are indeed good, light and flexible, and not a small power, don't those revolutionaries like to drop bombs everywhere, and grenades are much more useful than those unreliable bombs. If you are willing to use it, there are many of them in the army, and you can purchase a batch, and I estimate that with the friendship between our two sides, we will definitely be able to give you a discount. ”

Zhang Henian kept selling weapons to Xu Shuzheng, Xu Shuzheng was not interested at all, he would ask for a million if he found a few people, and if he bought weapons again, he would probably be slaughtered, and Xu Shuzheng also inquired about the situation of these two weapons, it seems that it is not very complicated, Beiyang also has an arsenal, and it can be produced by itself.

"Don't talk about these useless weapons, let's talk about how to deal with these two weapons."

"In fact, there is nothing complicated to say, grenades are all thrown by manpower, and the effective killing distance is only thirty or forty meters, mortars are crooked shells, and there are also blind spots for shooting, as long as you are proficient in the characteristics, you can avoid them. Another point is to make good use of the skirmish line tactics, when charging, the soldiers keep enough distance from each other, so that they will not be killed or injured in a large area. ”

"Is it that simple?"

"General Xu, of course it's that simple, a layer of window paper, as long as it is pierced, it will suddenly become clear, but if it can't be broken, it will be held all the time."

Zhang Henian said that it was easy, but in fact it was not a simple matter, just how to allocate troops, what kind of distance to maintain, and what kind of firepower to adopt when the troops charged, all of which needed to be explored with countless lives, and at the same time, they had to go through thousands of tempering, even the Feng army did not dare to say that it was very mature, and the training level of Beiyang was even worse.

Zhang Henian was fooling Xu Shuzheng here, and Xia Han was also fooling Zhang Xun on the other side, at this time, the pigtail army repelled the attack of the rebel army, and also created an illusion for Zhang Xun, it seemed that he still had a chance to win, but there was a premise, that is, there must be enough grenades, and there must be a large number of mortar shells.

The ones he had purchased from the Feng army had already been almost depleted, and if the Beiyang Army attacked again, he would have nothing to use. At this time, Zhang Xun remembered the mysterious young man who sold arms, and of course Xia Han also thought of him, Zhang Tinglan secretly arranged a lot of manpower, mainly to supervise the direction of the battlefield.

Zhang Tinglan already knew that the pigtail army was going to be finished, but at the moment of zuihou, Zhang Tinglan was ready to extort another money, so Xia Han was ordered to come.

"Lord Wang, let's meet again. This time I have a batch of grenades, a total of 20,000 of them, and a lot of shells, I will count you cheaper, give me another five million, and I will give you everything. ”

Zhang Xun frowned, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Boy, can you blackmail at will as the king, believe it or not, the king will arrest you now, and then torture you." Let you hand over all the arms. ”

"Lord Wang, since I dare to eat the food that is snatched from the tiger's mouth, I don't care about life and death for a long time, don't you see that I don't have an arm, I just crawled out of the pile of dead people. I can also tell you. As long as I've been missing for more than an hour, my accomplices will unceremoniously detonate the arms. You don't want to get anything then! ”

"Don't!" Zhang Xun was frightened by this sad sentence. If you can't get this bit of ammunition, you won't even have any hope of zuihou.

"If you have something to say, I'll go raise money now!"

Zhang Xun also knew that he didn't want to bargain with such an outlaw at all, and if he didn't have a stubborn temper, he would ask for a little more. Xia Han looked at Zhang Xun's back and pursed his mouth. What's the taste of restoration, even if you become a prince, don't you have to be played with by yourself between applause!

The commander reappeared in the Taihe Palace, and those Eight Banners nobles were still present. Zhang Xun looked fierce and vicious, and asked for money directly, where would such a person be willing, now everyone knows that there is not much hope for restoration, and the family property is their dependence, and no one wants to take an extra penny.

"Zhang Dashuai, the will of heaven is like this, the society is about to die, you just follow the heavens, we don't want to be officials!"

A few people hugged Zhang Xun's thighs and shed tears, Zhang Xun was also full of resentment, these Eight Banners disciples are too rice buckets, if they have the courage of their ancestors, they will not lose the country.

"Get out of here! This king wants to fight for the society to zuihou, if any of you dare not pay, this king will shoot him! ”

Zhang Xun was angry, fierce and vicious, these people all had weak legs and stomachs, and fell to the ground, Concubine Jin and the little emperor were also frightened, and the concubine quickly let Taibao Shixu run to the warehouse in the Forbidden City, and moved out 300,000 taels of silver, which was already Zuihou's family fund, and it was all handed over to Zhang Xun.

Others didn't dare to slack off, Zhang Xun scraped together enough money, and quickly made a deal with Xia Han, and got a batch of arms from Zuihou in his hands, and after counting the number, the commander suddenly sobered up in his heart, these weapons were the batch that Feng Jun did not hand over to him, and now they have been sold to himself.

It was already obvious that this was deliberately arranged by Feng Jun in order to clean his pockets. Dignified and handsome, it is like a clown jumping off the beam, being wantonly played with by others, Zhang Xun's heart is secretly ruthless, as long as he can pass this hurdle, he must settle the account with Fengjun, and he must not be cheap Zhang Xiaoman.

The pigtail army has just been armed, Duan Qirui's subordinates have also started to attack, Zhang Henian held the binoculars in his hand, kept observing the situation on the battlefield, and at a glance, he also shook his head again and again, he gave a lot of explanations to these people, but when it came to the battlefield, the formation of Beiyang still had no tacit understanding at all, and the soldiers basically relied on the courage of blood to kill.

After getting closer and closer to the ranks of the Braided Army, many Beiyang troops were wiped out in pieces, and they paid a lot of price, but they still couldn't take Fengtai. Xu Shuzheng looked for Zhang Henian again, and Zhang Henian also spread his hands: "General Xu, I have taught everything that should be taught, but your army's training is too poor, and there is no way to carry out the combat intent, and such a unit is not qualified at all!" ”

"Don't talk about cool words, do you have the ability to take Fengtai down?"

Zhang Henian thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid there is only one way now, which is to concentrate firepower and use artillery to open a road." I observed your artillery, basically it is still in the era of direct aiming, many soldiers do not know how to calculate parameters, the shelling is very lively, but the actual lethality is very limited! ”

Zhang Henian unceremoniously criticized the Beiyang Army, Xu Shuzheng could only listen, zuihou Zhang Henian expressed his willingness to help command the Beiyang artillery and break through the Fengtai defense line.

"Humble words, you listen to the artillery sound in Fengtai is getting more and more intensive, I think the Beiyang Army should have launched a general attack, Zhang Xun is afraid that he will not be able to hold on, what do you say we should do?"

"Duan Qirui has Duan Qirui's life, we have our goal, to disperse all the soldiers of the Feng Army, the main transportation arteries, as much as possible, I estimate that many people who participated in the restoration will find a way to escape, these guys are extremely evil, but they are inextricably linked with the people of Beiyang, Duan Qirui does not dare to kill them all, but we don't have to worry, after we are caught, we will blackmail me to the death, and squeeze out their bone marrow oil!"

After Zhang Tinglan gave the order, the Feng army was quickly launched, Zhou Zijian led a team of soldiers to be patrolling, and suddenly a car came quickly, the speed was very fast, Zhou Zijian stopped on the spot, a foreigner jumped off the car, and shouted loudly, this guy seems to be British, and his arrogance is very arrogant.

Zhou Zijian didn't bother to care about him, he directly took out a pistol and put it on the head of this foreigner, this guy suddenly lost his voice, and the other soldiers went to check, and found a fifty or sixty-year-old pigtail with a foot-long pigtail on the back of his head, like a tail!
