Chapter 5 Chapter Four

Hidden with Japanese people, invite pets to the general office People say that people's "nature is hard to change", but it is not absolute.Zhang Zuolin sneaked into the green forest yesterday, he was wild, even a sparrow flew in front of him, and he had to pluck three times If you don't dig out the kiln for three days, you will have to climb over the wall to enter a ruined temple.Today, he took refuge in the government and became a battalion officer leading the troops. His face and demeanor have changed into another person: smiling, steady in action, gradually getting closer to the crowd.

Zhang Zuolin was not willing to do this. On the night of the "recruitment", he led Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, and Zhang Zuoxiang, the leaders of the brothers, into a small tavern, holding a bowl and crying: "Brothers, I am sorry everyone." Brothers are all free, like fish in the sea, how comfortable we are to roam the mountains and wilds! Now, the elder brother has cast a magic spell, and he has also cast a magic spell on all the brothers. No matter what you do, you have to look up Let's listen to others. Conscience, is there a good son of a bitch in the officialdom? Our brothers can't wait to kill them all and win the lobby. Cough..." He drank the bowl on his back The wine in the bottle, and said: "The ghost is so obsessed, why do you plunge into someone's arms? We brothers have to discuss whether to take this road, take a look, or not to go? After the discussion, I will be solid in my heart." Or..." Zhang Jinghui is careful and thoughtful about things.He blinked his deep eyes and said:

"Brother, I understand what's on your mind. Why did we go south and north? The government is our enemy. Now, you don't have to say sad things. It's our intention to vote for the government. Right now we can't say this way. Wrong. It’s not brother talking nonsense, brother, you led this road, " One hundred right! From the present to the past, from the past to the present, those who are dry and green forests do not get into trouble with the government, it is not a good idea Come.For the great development of our brothers, this is the only way to go.Brother, a poor scholar has to face the hardships of facing the wall for ten years first. If we work hard for ten years, we will be the face of the wall.It’s really not going to look good in the future, pull it out, and it’s over if you go into the mountains!”

Tang Yulin and others also echoed Zhang Jinghui's words and said "go around and have a look", then they all picked up their wine bowls and jingled and whistled. Zhang Zuolin sighed, and said again: "Since the brothers think this step is not bad, let's go and live wherever it is dark. However, there are some things I have to say first, so don't blame the big brother for turning his face and denying people. " "Let's talk." Everyone said in unison: "I have handed over my head, so is there anything I can't say!" "Brothers," Zhang Zuolin said, "it is said in the officialdom that being with the king is like being with a tiger! When we rely on the government, we have to be careful; If you do it, you have to do something real for them to see. By doing this, we are not being cowards, we are developing ourselves. Brothers all have a supervisor, brigade commander, and division commander. When we are fucking We don’t listen to anyone, but we have to let those guys with Yin’s arms listen to us!” Since then, Zhang Zuolin’s group has become a tame sheep in the Qing government.It was a coincidence that Zhang Zuolin had a good chance. When he was appointed by the government as a battalion leader, the Russo-Japanese War suddenly broke out.This great battle was neither fought in Japan nor in Russia, but was fought on the land of the three northeastern provinces of China.The sufferers, of course, are the Chinese people.The Qing government was so fatuous that it did not dare to expel Japan, nor did it dare to expel Belarus. It also grandiosely designated a "neutral zone" on its own territory-the west of the Liaohe River.What is neutral, it is better to say that it is an area where both Japan and Russia are allowed to reach out! Zhang Zuolin is in charge of the military in this "neutral area", and he has become a "incense stick" that the Japanese and the Russians want to win over.Zhang Zuolin is shrewd, on the surface he neither loves the sun nor Russia, but secretly, he accepts whoever benefits him.However, he insisted on the attitude of "stand on the high mountain and watch the horse bite", and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman!

Chaos in Northeast China, Chaos in West Liaoning! Western Liaoning, as a neutral zone, originally wanted to have a peaceful time.In fact, it is not the case. While Japan and Russia have intervened one after another, the heroes of the green forest are also very fond of them, and they "visit" from time to time, which still makes people panic. Among these bandits, some gangs have long been openly or secretly colluding with either the Japanese or the Russians.The bandits wanted to find a protective umbrella, and Japan and Russia wanted to cultivate foreign powers. Each had what it needed, and they hit it off.

In the early years, Jin Shoushan, the big bandit in Beizhen who drove Zhang Zuolin into a corner, relied on the Russians as his backstage, and became the Russian Rangers, called the "Huangzizi Squad".The Russians had great power in the outskirts of western Liaoning, and Jin Shoushan had nothing to fear, leading his "liuzi" across the neutral border, mixed into western Liaoning, and robbed families. After Zhang Zuolin found out about this situation, he slapped his ass and laughed. "Ha, here's my chance for revenge!" So he led a battalion of officers and soldiers to set up a battle in the willow forest of Kuliugou where Jin Shoushan haunted, and caught Jin Shoushan by surprise when he came out of the cave.

Jin Shoushan didn't expect that officers and soldiers would come to the area he entered. He was caught off guard, and when he caught fire, his men were scattered and scattered in a big defeat.Jin Shoushan was about to find a way to escape, but Zhang Zuolin stopped him with a leaping horse.Zhang Zuolin held up the box gun with a large machine head, and immediately shouted: "Jin Shoushan, do you still recognize me? It's really a narrow road to enemies. Where are you going today?" Commander Jin Shoushan's light rod, seeing his big enemy Zhang Zuolin standing in front of him, knew that he could not escape, so he said: "Zhang Zuolin, you boy, don't be arrogant, you just voted for the official father. You are a good man. You let me go for half a year." Afterwards, my fifth son, Jin, came here to compete with you! How about it?" "Let's make your mother's dream come true!" Zhang Zuolin said: "Your Grandpa Zhang is now in charge of the officers and soldiers. I want to eliminate harm for the people. I want to fight with you again." I'll fight, go to that world and wait!" After that, "Ping Ping Ping" fired three shots in a row, and Jin Shoushan staggered to the ground—the Russian Rangers, the "flower arm team" that was rampant for a while, was finally wiped out in western Liaoning Bitter Liugou.

Zhang Zuolin destroyed Jin Shoushan and avenged Miaoer Town, so he was naturally happy.There is less banditry in the western Liaoning area, and the government has a heart problem, so of course it is inevitable to reward him Fan.This matter should also settle down.It should also be Zhang Zuolin's fortune, I don't want to make a big fuss about this matter-the Japanese use this matter to make a big fuss... The Japanese Garrison Command has a staff officer named Fukushima, who is responsible for the wooing work in western Liaoning.This man was thirty-six or seven years old, he looked like a warrior, but he was full of business skills.After Zhang Zuolin was dismissed as a battalion officer, he made up his mind to pull him to his side, sent people to make friends with Zhang several times, and even sent a golden ticket to show his "respect".Because Zhang Zuolin has always insisted on a "wait and see attitude", he has not yet expressed his closeness to the Japanese.It was when Fukushima was anxious that Zhang Zuolin wiped out the bandit Jin Shoushan in one fell swoop. He felt that the time had come, so he set off for Xinmin immediately, found Jing Wu, the head of the Japanese military administration in Xinmin, and hurriedly visited Zengyun, the prefect of Xinmin Prefecture.First sent Zeng Yun a thick letter of ceremony, and then said: "The commander of the Japanese army headquarters asked us to express our thanks to your mansion: Zhang Zuolin, the battalion officer of your mansion, assisted the imperial army in eliminating the flower arm rangers hired by the Russian army. This shows the sincerity of the good-neighborliness and friendship between Japan and China. This headquarters has planned to reward Officer Zhang Ying heavily to express our gratitude!"

Although Zengyun was the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, his heart had long been to Japan, and he wanted to find a backer for himself and leave a different way. To express my sincerity to Japan, and secondly, I also want to take the opportunity to give Zhang Zuolin a favor.The Japanese deliberately stretched it out, and if the magistrate can push the boat along the way, it will definitely be good for him.So, with a smile all over his face, he said: "Your army and everyone are so enthusiastic about diplomatic relations, I naturally admire it very much. I will do my best to ask for credit for Zhang Yingguan. In the future, I will ask you for help when dealing with local affairs. Please cooperate!"

The Japanese also nodded with a smile. Zeng Yun sent away the representative of the Japanese army, thinking a lot: "The Japanese want to support Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin is my subordinate. Why don't I take this opportunity to promote him? He will also be a confidant in the future." After thinking about it, he called Zhang Zuolin to him and said : "Zhang Yingguan, the government has always valued you very much, and I will definitely do what I can for your future. You eliminated Jin Shoushan and saved the local area from a great harm. I will now ask for credit for you. What else do you have?" request?"

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly said: "Thanks to the love of the magistrate, I can't thank you enough for asking for credit. How dare I ask for anything more." "Okay, I won't treat you badly, as long as you work hard in the future, I will support you at any time." After sending Zhang Zuolin away, the magistrate personally wrote a merit report for Zhang Zuolin and sent it to the Shenyang General's Yamen.Soon, he received instructions, in addition to praising Zhang Zuolin for his meritorious service in destroying the bandits, he agreed to expand Zhang Zuolin's Xinmin guerrilla cavalry battalion into three battalions, promote Zhang Zuolin to be the leader of the third battalion, and issue additional weapons and military pay.Since then, Zhang Zuolin's team has played a pivotal role in western Liaoning. Zhang Zuolin's continuous prosperity, knowing that the important reason is that he was praised by the Japanese, and he could not forget to repay the favor he received, so he thought of a way to show the Japanese. One day, he secretly called Zhang Jinghui to his room, closed the door, and said to him, "Jinghui, there is something I want to discuss with my brother, maybe I have to ask my brother to work hard." "Let's talk, seeing what I can do, I will do my best." Zhang Jinghui also cut to the chase. "Since we got close to Xinmin Mansion, our road has been going smoothly." Zhang Zuolin beat around the bush. "Love from the magistrate is one, and...do you understand?" Zhang Jinghui was originally here to accept tasks or talk, and was not prepared for "contingency".Zhang Zuolin dropped a "question" halfway, and Zhang Jinghui was a little at a loss.He looked at Zhang Zuolin with hesitant eyes, but did not speak. Zhang Zuolin said again: "That's right, our brothers are prosperous, and the Japanese have helped us a lot. We can't cross the river and tear down the bridge. I want you to go to Shenyang alone, and thank Mr. Fukushima on my behalf, and talk about the future by the way." "This..." Zhang Jinghui hesitated. "How can I meet him?" "There is a way." Zhang Zuolin said, "Do you still remember a man named Hutt?" Zhang Jinghui thought for a while and said, "I can't remember." "Isn't he the translator of the Japanese army stationed in Xinmin!" Zhang Zuolin said, "You forgot, that time He was the one who was ordered to give us a golden ticket! You almost beheaded him. " Zhang Jinghui remembered—that time, Hurt came to Zhang Zuolin's barracks disguised as a Japanese "gua la gua la", making gestures that he must see Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Jinghui suspected that he was a Japanese spy and insisted on talking at him at gunpoint.Only then did he reveal his identity and explain his purpose. "Oh, it's him! How is he?" "He colluded with a friend for you, and he is also a translator. He will send you to Fukushima." After speaking, Zhang Zuolin explained the task in detail, and then took out the gift he had prepared, and handed Hurt's handwritten letter to him. To Zhang Jinghui, he said: "You must disguise yourself as a businessman, and you must not reveal your real face; if something happens, you must not say that I sent it!" After Zhang Jinghui agreed one by one, he went out. From Xinmin to Shenyang, it only takes more than half a day on a fast horse.When Zhang Jinghui entered the city, the sun was still high.He found an inn to live in, and he had nothing to do overnight. After early the next day, he found Hurt's colleague according to the address - a person named Wang Shengshan.When Zhang Jinghui sent the letter, he also attached a generous gift. Wang Shengshan smiled after reading the letter. "It's a trivial matter. I have admired Zhang Zuolin's name for a long time, but I only regret that I never met him. Brother Hurt entrusted me with it, and my younger brother complied. It's just this gift, which I absolutely cannot accept." Wang Shengshan had already glanced left and right at the gift. , wishing to swallow it in one gulp, but he has "identity" and is afraid of revealing his greedy feet; moreover, is it safe to accept gifts from people like Zhang Zuolin? He has concerns.So I had to make a gesture. In this kind of occasion, Zhang Jinghui has to be counted as an "experienced hand". He looked at Wang Shengshan's rolling mouse eyes and those two faint cold lights that never left the gift box, and he knew that he was moved.He hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, we have talked with each other. It is the first time we have asked each other and expressed our feelings slightly. In the future, I will trouble you a lot. If you want to make friends, Mr. Wang will not see you. If Mr. Wang thinks that we cannot get along with each other? , and don't force yourself." Wang Sheng was afraid that the bowstring would break if he drew it too tightly, so he hurriedly said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders! In fact, I have more than admiration for Zhang Guandai. How can I not want to make this friend! To tell the truth, my younger brother is also wholeheartedly thinking about it." Get ahead and get acquainted with a group of confidantes. I never care about money and other external things. Chinese people help Chinese people with things. In terms of propriety, they are still Chinese." Get off, and then lead Zhang Jinghui to see Fukushima.Fukushima has spent all his time for Zhang Zuolin, seeing Zhang Zuolin sent his confidants to meet him in secret, knowing that the situation is unusual, he hastily interviewed him in a secret room. After the fragrant tea and good cigarettes were placed, Fukushima said to Zhang Jinghui in fluent Chinese: "Please tell Zhang Guandai that the Japanese imperial army stationed in the three eastern provinces of China has no intention of swallowing the three eastern provinces. The three eastern provinces are too backward, Ignorant. As neighbors, we have the responsibility to help the three northeastern provinces to prosper and prosper, so that capable Chinese can govern China's three northeastern provinces. Cough, it's not easy to find a capable Chinese who can govern the country!" He lit a cigarette for Zhang Jinghui , and said: "Your tube belt..." He raised his thumb. Zhang Jinghui understood, knew that the Japanese had taken a fancy to Zhang Zuolin, and hurriedly said: "We also know that Japan is a true friend in our battalion. Guantao is deeply loved by Japanese friends, and we will always remember it in our hearts. We sent Jinghui to meet His Excellency Fukushima in person." , is to show this sincerity. From now on, if Your Excellency Fukushima has something under our control, even though his strength is meager, he is willing to do his best!" The Japanese are happy, looking for accomplices in China, that is the established policy of their government, Japan, which is so small, wants to swallow up China, which is dozens of times larger than it, and does not adopt the policy of "ruling China with China", that is It can't be realized.Therefore, as long as they are willing to be traitors, the Japanese welcome them all, let alone Zhang Zuolin, who has just shown his talents in the three eastern provinces! Fukushima hurriedly said: "I admire Zhang Guandai's sharp vision and lofty ambitions. Do your best to work with him, including everything he wants!" Zhang Jinghui's trip to Shenyang opened up another road for Zhang Zuolin to thrive.It's just that the Japanese, like Zhang Zuolin, want to get more from each other, and their interests often conflict.In the end, the Japanese had no choice but to kill Zhang Zuolin. Since Zhang Zuolin came to the Japanese, he felt that his back was hardened, he was bolder, and he became more courageous. He understood the power of the "backstage" better.However, he also knew that the Japanese would not directly promote him, and the steps had to be bestowed by the immediate chief. Zhang Zuolin knew that he did not have a strong backer in the officialdom.Yes, Zhao Erxun has a good impression of him, and this pillar is also very big.However, Zhang Zuolin was unsteady in his heart, and he felt that it was not an appropriate way to join this school.That time, no matter how Zhao Erxun's third aunt thanked him, it was a matter of paper wrapping fire. Once they realized that it was Zhang Zuolin who robbed them back then, maybe the commander-in-chief would kill him if he got angry.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin's backer, he has never dared to lean too closely, let alone come to ask for it with confidence.Now, he has served as the leader of three battalions. He is no longer a small official, and it is even more difficult to be promoted. He must make greater efforts to rely on other big men. Zhang Zuolin is lucky, and has been walking the road of whatever he wants.He wants to rely on mountains, but there are mountains to rely on.On this day, Zhang Xiluan, the newly appointed general manager of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion Office, came to Xinmin.In Xinmin, a general office came.It was very lively for a while: banquet after banquet in the officialdom, discussions among the people in the streets and alleys, predicting disasters and fortunes, and the whole city was buzzing. Zhang Xiluan is a talented military officer, he has a lot of skill in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and he is also famous for riding and shooting.This person has a hobby in his life, he is especially fond of horses, and his horsemanship is also extraordinary.One day, local celebrities from Xinmin gathered in the bell tower and entertained Zhang Xiluan with the slogan "Meet friends through writing".Zhang Xiluan took off his military uniform and went to the banquet as if he was a scribe.Zhang Zuolin was in charge of the battalion, and the magistrate was afraid of bad guys making trouble, so he sent him to covertly protect him.Zhang Zuolin is also dressed as a scholar, arty.On this day, it was early autumn, the sky was high and the air was crisp. Although it was getting colder in western Liaoning, people were still full of spring breeze, laughing and talking loudly. A man named Li Gong, who had won the literary examination, racked his brains for a while, and said first: "I have heard for a long time that the general manager is very romantic in poetry and wine, and he has a strong and elegant handwriting. When you come to Xinmin, Xinmin will have an eternal life." Immortality can be passed on to poetry and ink. The students specially brought the four treasures of the study, and adults are invited to use them as they please!" Zhang Xiluan humbly pushed, saying: "The poems and books of the lower officials are mediocre, and it is even more difficult to have a good one in a hurry. Please forgive me, this time it will be avoided." "It can't be avoided, it can't be avoided." The Wen Juren said again, "It's rare for adults to come to my hometown. It would be a pity not to leave calligraphy." Another said: "I heard that my lord is today's Bole. He has always been good at advising people, and there are many famous people under his command. I am lucky to be able to meet you for a while. Poems and books are indispensable." Zhang Xiluan is also used to show off in the romantic scene, although he thanked him repeatedly, and said: "Today is a meeting of friends, we should mainly talk about heart-to-heart, and drink freely. Is this poem...", but he still hesitated, Inscribed "Cuibin Pavilion" for the bell tower in three bowl-sized cursive characters.Then say: "Show your ugliness, show your ugliness!" Everyone said: "Extraordinary, extraordinary! What a great deal!" Wen Juren shook his head and said "tsk tut" repeatedly: "The book is like a man, it is really good. Between the lines, you can see the skill and free and easy character of adults. The honor of the new people, the bell tower will add glory to it!" Zhang Zuolin knows nothing about poetry, calligraphy and painting, and laughs with others Laugh, nod as people nod.But he thought about Zhang Xiluan over and over again, just like he spent his time focusing on a rich man: Is it worth it to start, and where to start? Is it a one-step success, or is it a knock on the mountain first?" The most important thing is this. What does the chief executive like, what do you like the most?" Zhang Zuolin, although he is usually as thick as a cannon barrel, he looks like a superb embroidery girl when he is thin.It didn't take long for him to find out that the general manager liked horses very much, and he knew that he had a superb horse show stunt.Zhang Zuolin laughed to himself. "God gave me Zhang Zuolin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When it comes to grooming horses and show horses, I must be regarded as one of the best masters. Well, do what you like and use a horse as a matchmaker!" Zhang Zuolin returned to the barracks, selected some of his own soldiers, and said to them, "Go out immediately. Go around the four villages and pick me the best horse." The soldiers went out for two days, and all of them returned disappointed, saying that there was no good horse to get.Zhang Zuolin was very anxious: "Could it be that there is no good horse in this vast area of ​​Xinmin?" He became angry: "Are you being lazy? I don't believe you can't find a good horse." A soldier said: "We have traveled all over the horse market, but we really haven't seen any good horses." "Why don't you go to every town and village?" "I also went to the village, just..." "No?" "No." One of the soldiers said: "There are good horses, they are played by others, and they are not for sale." "Give more silver dollars!" "As much as you give, you won't sell it." "Who dares to be so bold?" "Gao Shibin, a rich man in Gaotai Mountain, has a good horse in his family. He spent a lot of money and took two years to pick this good horse from Mongolia. It is like snow, strong and able to fly. The rich man regards it as a pet. ,inseparable." Zhang Zuolin frowned, sighed softly, and thought: "Forget it, forget it. Gentlemen don't take away beauty! Since people love you like pearls, why should I take them away? Besides, I'm also the government's management now. Take away a good horse, if the news gets out, it will always hinder your reputation." He waved his hand and said to his soldiers: "You go, if they don't sell it, we won't buy it. If you have money, can't you buy a good horse?!" Just as the guards were about to withdraw, Zhang Zuolin said again: "Come back, come back!" When the soldiers came back, Zhang Zuolin said, "Go again, take my post, and talk kindly, saying that I am very envious of his horses, and I dream about his horses in my dreams. Then, give me a generous gift A thick gift, that is, I made friends with him as a gift for each other, and when I have a good horse in the future, I will definitely give it to him." The soldiers had no choice but to go to Gao Shibin's house in Gaotai Mountain with heavy silver dollars, name cards and gifts.Gao Shibin, the rich man in Gaotai Mountain, is not rich and powerful, running wild in the village, but a rather arrogant playboy.Less than 30 years old, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient in everything.But he is not greedy for official career. Several magistrates invited him to come out to do things, but he politely declined. He only guarded the rich family property left to him by his father. recover from fatigue.He loves horses and has good riding skills; he loves guns and can shoot through Yang with a hundred paces.The father died less than ten years ago, and he has already consumed two-fifths of the family business.This Gao Shibin can also be regarded as a famous official in society: if someone came to Gaotai Mountain because of his reputation, he could cut off one of his ears as a gift;One day, he was playing chess with his friends at home, when he heard that someone in the stable outside came to peek at his big white horse and point fingers at him.He walked out impatiently.Seeing that it was two officers and soldiers, they thought they were here to blackmail.Shaking the banana fan, he said, "What are you doing around my horse?" "Good horse, good horse! Let's see." "Bullshit! It's not a good horse. I bought it. Do you want to steal it?" "We dignified officers and soldiers, how can we steal horses?" A soldier said, "Our officer has just been promoted to battalion commander and wants to buy a good horse. We are here to buy horses." "Oh, are you talking about that Zhang Zuolin?" "Yes, yes! That's him." "Go back and tell him, I will not sell this good horse for how much I pay!" After that, he asked someone to lead the horse back to the courtyard and closed the gate. This is the situation where buying a horse for the first time fails. Now, holding Zhang Zuolin's famous card and generous gifts, the soldiers came to Gaotai Mountain for the second time.Unexpectedly, Gao Shibin's door was tightly closed, no matter how you call, no one came out to answer.Zhang Zuolin confessed that he must "talk well" and buy horses in the way of making friends.Now, no one is complaining, and I can't get angry, so I have to go back home and report to Zhang Zuolin truthfully. Zhang Zuolin is a hero from the green forest, and has always believed in "bringing doctrine".Whatever he wanted, no matter who it belonged to, he stretched out his hand and took it with peace of mind; but he couldn't reach it, he was very uneasy, as if he had suffered a big loss! Gao Shibin's white horse couldn't be bought or exchanged, which in itself had to be It can be regarded as a "shame" for Zhang Zuolin; besides, if there is no good horse, it is impossible to get acquainted with this majestic upstart-Zhang Xiluan;Looking for such an opportunity again, I don't know when and what month.So, Zhang Zuolin listened to the soldier's report, squinted his eyes, closed them, and fell into deep thought— Counting in vain, Zhang Zuolin has reached the year of "establishing himself", and he must succeed in establishing a career. Some things you want to do, things you should do.A few days ago, Zeng Yun, the prefect who won the Sanying management belt for him, found him face to face. A few days ago, he was given a very difficult and unacceptable task, saying: "The giant bandit Du Lishan in Sanjiegou often comes to harass him. Within three days, you go and eliminate him." Zhang Zuolin's heart sank, and his mind immediately became dizzy--even though Guan Yanhong had a disrespectful and hostile attitude towards Zhang Zuolin, that Du Lishan had saved Zhang Zuolin's life.For the scene in Miaoer Town, if Dulishan hadn’t arrived in time, Zhang Zuolin would have become Jin Shoushan’s sword ghost! After saving his life, he was helped again. It was the Sanjiegou of Dulishan that made Zhang Zuolin come back. "I'm going to destroy Duli Mountain today, isn't it a way to repay my kindness and revenge! Do I still count as a human being?!" However, he looked at Zeng Yun's serious face, looked at the officer's uniform on his body, and thought about his future. , gritted his teeth, and accepted the task. "Yes, eliminate the Sanjiegou bandit Dulishan within three days!" When Zhang Zuolin sent troops, he had an illusion, thinking that to create momentum, drive away Du Lishan, and come back to hand over orders.Unexpectedly, when Du Li Sanyi heard that Zhang Zuolin brought officers and soldiers to exterminate him, he also had fantasies—he said to his wife Guan Yanhong: "Although Zhang Zuolin has carried me on his back, he is a hero after all. Maybe this time he will change his mind and take the opportunity to follow him." Let's go back to Sanjiegou." Guan Yanhong didn't think so.She said: "When Zhang Zuolin left Sanjiegou, I knew he was an ungrateful person. I really wanted to kill him. Now, he will never reconcile with us. We must fight him to the end!" Du Lishan said: "You can use courtesy first and then fight. If you can't win him with courtesy, it's not too late to fight him in blood." As soon as the battle broke out and the two armies clashed, Guan Yanhong flew in front of Zhang Zuolin.When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous, and they scolded him "ungrateful, you are a scum in the world, today grandma must kill you!" Cursing, he went straight to Zhang Zuolin and opened fire. Zhang Zuolin was in a hurry to fight, he forgot the idea of ​​socializing when dispatching troops, and he was also eager to make contributions, so he shot Guan Yanhong. When Du Lishan saw that Zhang Zuolin had come for real, he was immediately furious; at the same time, he was afraid that his wife would suffer, so he jumped on his horse and rushed to the middle. Zhang Zuolin was supported by the government, and he was backed by the Japanese, and he had three battalions of soldiers by his side.Just when he retreated step by step, Zhang Zuo and others arrived.Du Lishan felt that he would lose if he fought again, so he responded for a while, chose a favorable place to retreat, and fled every day. Du Lishan really ran away, and Zhang Zuolin immediately stamped his feet with regret.It wasn't Du Lishan who ran, but Zhang Zuolin's high-ranking officials and gauze hats, not to mention that he had expressed his determination in front of the magistrate, and the magistrate also hinted at him a reward.If you can't destroy Duli Mountain, you will be guilty if you have no merit. Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to return to Xinmin, and did not dare to go to see the magistrate, so he discussed with his brothers dullly what to do next.At this time, Zhang Zuolin already felt that sending troops to suppress Duli Mountain could not be destroyed.The mountains and rivers are vast and the territory is so vast that there is no room for a bandit to hide! The bandits are in the dark, and the officers and soldiers are in the light. In such a fight, only the officers and soldiers will suffer.He shook his head and said to his brothers: "The hard method will not work for Du Lishan, so I have to replace it with a soft one." The shrewd Zhang Jinghui immediately came up with a shrewd idea: "Brother, didn't you once recognize Du Lishan's uncle Du Panlin as your adoptive father, why don't you think about the way from this old man." Zhang Zuolin's forehead lit up and he smiled. "Yes! I forgot him." I have to go back and say a few words.When Zhang Zuolin went to Sanjiegou, Du Lishan's uncle Du Panlin was also there. He was not a bandit.I want to persuade my nephew to change his ways and get out of the green forest.This Du Panlin is almost 60 years old. He used to be a Juren in Liaozhong County, and he looks like a Confucian.It is not enough to persuade my nephew, but I have also helped my nephew to make a plan.In order to express his intimacy with Du Lishan, Zhang Zuolin kowtowed to recognize Du Panlin as his adoptive father.In fact, the matter of kowtowing is also forgotten.Although Nadu Lishan did not listen to his uncle's persuasion, he had a deep affection for this old uncle and trusted him very much. He always said "my old uncle said..." in front of his partners, as if his actions were still old uncle teaching. Zhang Zuolin thought of this adoptive father, and immediately sent someone to take him to the barracks, where he was very enthusiastic about smoking, tea, drinking and eating.Du Panlin was moved, and when he saw that no one was present, he said to Zhang Zuolin, "Yuting, there are so many things in the team, why do you want to bring me here? It seems that there is something wrong. If you have something to say, just say it. I will try my best if I can do it." "Father, I came to you because of something important." Zhang Zuolin said, "You know it. Lord Governor and Lord Prefect are both determined to eliminate local banditry.No, the burden fell on my head.I went on an expedition a few days ago to eliminate Lishan.I can't disobey official orders.To be honest, the officers and soldiers did not beat out ten victories when they suppressed bandits.How could I do that? When I kowtowed to Lishan Yizhuxiang, I let him go with a feint like a mother.It’s not that I want him to become a bandit again, it’s to give him a setback, to see if I can win him back..." Du Panlin was a sensible person, so he quickly interjected: "I thought the same way at the beginning, so I went to Sanjiegou. Now the situation has changed, and you think like this again, it couldn't be better..." Zhang Zuolin said again: "I have withdrawn the troops, and I haven't reported to my superiors. I just sent a secret letter to the magistrate. I want to let Lishan take the road of recruiting security while the governor has not thoroughly investigated. As long as you vote, not only Life and family property are safe, and there will be officials to do it. This is the matter of inviting you to come here. If you always agree, please come forward and invite him to come, and we will talk in secret. First, to avoid misunderstandings, and second. Let's work together later." Du Panlin listened to Zhang Zuolin's words, scratched his head and thought about it, and felt that Zhang Zuolin was a good friend, and this approach was also out of sincerity, so he agreed generously, and immediately wrote a letter to his nephew, asking him to come to Xinmin immediately. When Du Lishan saw his uncle's father's letter, and he was under siege, he also felt that Zhang Zuolin was still a friend.Then he told his wife Guan Yanhong.Guan Yanhong tried her best to stop her, saying: "Zhang Zuolin is a rascal by nature, so you must not trust him." Du Lishan had made up his mind, and his wife's persuasion was useless. He finally went to Xinmin Mansion to look for Zhang Zuolin with only two bodyguards. Zhang Zuolin had already laid a net around his barracks, and then came out alone to meet Du Lishan.As soon as they met each other, Zhang Zuolin's attitude changed drastically.He said to Du Lishan: "I am under the double orders of the governor and prefect to execute the bandit leader Du Lishan immediately!" Du Lishan leaned over and wanted to slap the guy, but he was shot twice by Zhang Zuolin's personal soldiers "Ping Ping" and fell to the ground, his brains were scattered, and he died immediately... The news of Du Lishan's murder reached Guan Yanhong's ears. She didn't cry, but smashed her body hard. A big tea bowl, and scolded: "Son of a bitch, Zhang Zuolin, as long as grandma is still panting, if I don't kill your head to pay homage to Lishan, I will never be human!" Dulishan was wiped out, and the Xinmin Mansion rewarded him for his merits, which was very lively.But he, Zhang Zuolin, always felt unable to hold his head up, and never talked about Mie Du in front of others... Even the benefactor was killed, which shows that Zhang Zuolin has a lot of official intentions! Now, a small rich man does not cooperate with his promotion. Zhang Zuolin no longer talks about whether to win beauty or not. He wants to use the power of officers and soldiers to snatch it! "Assemble the first battalion immediately, follow me to Mount Gaotai!" In an instant, a group of people left Xinmin Mansion and galloped to Gaotai Mountain.Before Zhang Zuolin's troops arrived, Gao Shibin had already been reported by someone from Gaotai Mountain. That Gao Shibin was hunting in the wilderness with some friends, and when he heard that Zhang Zuolin had sent troops, he knew he was here to seize the horses.Immediately cursed. "The great bandit Zhang Zuolin, who robbed houses and houses, has already committed heinous crimes! Today, he led officers and soldiers to rob horses with open flames and sticks. I have to call him a bloody sprinkler to his face. My friend will go with me, and I will follow justice. Go face him and see if he dares to shoot me?" Someone among his friends hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mr. Gao, a bachelor doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages! When did Zhang Zuolin speak the truth? Zhang Zuolin is not the one who speaks the truth. Why did you hit him with an egg on a rock! Don't talk about you, when you rescued him Du Lishan, who took his life, didn't die under his gun. Hold on, isn't it just a horse, it's not worth much, let him snatch it, and we will buy it later. If you do more unrighteousness, you will be free Damn! See if Zhang Zuolin will end well?" Some friends also said: "Zhang Zuolin is popular in the government. Even if he is justified, the government will not punish him. Officials and bandits are a family, not to mention that Zhang Zuolin is now a majestic camp leader. Just hide from him and ruin the money. Go to the money. If people are happy, that's fine." Gao Shibin is a man of good reputation. After listening to his friend's advice, he also felt that a face-to-face debate would not yield any good results. In the end, he had to snatch the horse.He let out a long "cough--", turned his horse's head, and led his hunting friends to hide in a ravine. When Zhang Zuolin came to Gaotai Mountain with his troops, he first sent people to spread the word, saying: "Gao Shibin harbored bandits, disturbing social order, and must be punished!" ..." Then, he personally led the horse team and entered the village. The people in Mount Gaotai didn't know what was going on, so they closed their doors and closed their homes; Gao Shibin's family had already prepared, and all those who could make decisions left, leaving everyone who was prosperous.Zhang Zuolin's soldiers screamed for a long time, seeing that the village was deserted and deserted, they lost their energy.Zhang Zuolin brought some personal soldiers to Gao Shibin's house, but he couldn't find them. What he was thinking about was the good horse, so he hurried into the stable and saw the big snow-white horse resting his eyes leisurely with his eyes closed. He hurried up, untied the rope, and pulled it out--as for "hiding bandits" and "recruiting rebellion" and other matters, I will not mention it again. ,!" --Don't think that it's not worth it to make a fuss out of a molehill for the sake of a horse Zhang Zuolin.As everyone knows, it was this ordinary animal that soon brought Zhang Zuolin good luck.
