Chapter 6 chapter Five

send white horse wish come true On the side of the prefect's yamen in Xinmin Prefecture, there is a very luxurious post house with a tall gatehouse, two courtyards, a five-step threshold, and a pair of stone lions guarding the gate; through the purple-red gate, there is a small wall painted with landscape paintings. , behind the Xiao wall is a tall pine tree taller than the courtyard wall.Looking from a distance, it is very majestic.This is a post house dedicated to receiving officials from Shangfeng, and it is usually deserted.Now, due to the "presence" of Zhang Xiluan, the general manager of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, the post house suddenly became lively and strict: a four-man sentry was set up outside the gate, and there were mobile stragglers outside the gate.Most of the people passing by were puzzled and wondered: Are the imperial prisoners held here for fear of running away, or corrupt officials for fear of being killed?

This morning, around ten o'clock, Zhang Zuolin led a soldier and led the snow-white horse to the gate of the post house.Looking up, it was not the soldiers of his own guerrilla cavalry battalion who guarded the gate, but the team of the patrol battalion office brought by Zhang Xiluan from Shenyang.He knew that it would be difficult to go in, so he stopped and hesitated, and then he came up with a contingency strategy.When he came to the door, he first handed over a smiling face, and then delivered the door bag, and then said: "The local battalion officer, Zhang Zuolin, has something to ask to see the general manager. Can you please report back?"

The concierge received the door bag early, and saw that Zhang Zuolin was dressed up, so he said, "Please wait a little longer, sir, and I will report it right away." Zhang Xiluan is a person who is afraid of being deserted. People from all walks of life do not seek to "bring wealth and treasure", but just want to listen to praises.Therefore, he welcomes everyone who comes to worship.With his status, when he goes to any place under his subordinates and meets anyone, who can say nothing and flatter him! This is a kind of enjoyment, and Zhang Xiluan thinks it is more valuable than gold and silver.The concierge reported, "Zhang Zuolin is here to pay respects!" Mr. Zhang casually dropped the word "please".

Zhang Zuolin shuddered when he heard Cao, and then he suddenly remembered, "I don't know what etiquette should be used to present to the general manager?" Zhang Xiluan didn't stick to official etiquette, but met Zhang Zuolin in the upper room.Zhang Zuolin was flattered by such an intimate "family gift"! When he entered the room, he was at a loss what to do, and he didn't even know what kind of ceremony to give to the audience. In a panic, he bowed deeply and knelt down, muttering: "My little one!" Zhang Zuolin pays homage to the Chief Executive."

Zhang Xiluan smiled and said: "Zhang Guandai, we are all soldiers, one family. There is no order in the house, please sit down." "Thank you, General Manager." Zhang Zuolin sat down beside him. Zhang Xiluan said with a condescending attitude, with a smile instead of a smile: "The magistrate of Xinmin Mansion mentioned to me Zhang Yingguan, saying that you are shrewd and capable, and you are good at fighting. After taking office, you are still exhausted. 15. It seems that you have a bright future. ah!" Zhang Zuolin stood up, stood with hands down, and said: "Zuolin is incompetent, and he depends on the chief executive to cultivate him." "There is no need to talk about it. If there is a chance, I will help you talk."

Zhang Zuolin knew that he was a small official, and it was inconvenient to sit here for a long time, so he quickly turned the topic to the right, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the general manager loves horses. I have a good horse in my camp. I brought it here to honor you. I don't know. Will adults like it?" Zhang Xiluan was wondering: "A battalion officer is in charge, and the military position is naturally not enough to meet, and he doesn't know anything about writing and ink. What is he doing in such a hurry?" OK, where? Let me go and see."

"It's just outside your lord's door," Zhang Zuolin said, "I'll get someone to lead it here." As he spoke, he hurried a few steps to the screen wall, beckoned, and said to the man who led the horse, "Come here. Your lord is called to lead the horse." Come and show him." The soldiers came in with their horses, and Zhang Xiluan also walked into the courtyard.When I looked up and saw the pure white body of the horse, I was already very surprised, and when I saw its head held high, its hooves upright, and its whole body was full of energy, I knew it was a good horse. "What a snowball! Mongolian, a real horse!"

"I have nothing good in my life in a humble job. I only love horses." Zhang Zuolin said: "So, pay attention to everything, and only choose such a horse in ten years." "The eyesight is not bad!" Mr. Zhang said, "Based on this alone, we can be called the same." "I don't dare to be humble, I dare not be humble!" Zhang Zuolin hurriedly bowed and said, "How humble I am, how dare I mention it to the adults. If the adults appreciate the face, please accept this horse." "You understand me." Zhang Xiluan said: "People say that there are three treasures in the northeast. If you give me ginseng and leopard skin, I won't even look at them. What three treasures? Dirt! Such a good horse, please, I will If you can't ask for it, how can you not accept it!" He turned his face away, ordered the horse to be taken away, and led it to the backyard, "I'll look back and take a closer look." Zhang Xiluan got a good horse and was happy, so he ordered someone to reward the leading horse The two of them sent away the two taels of silver, and then said to Zhang Zuolin, "Guan Zhang Ying, don't leave. I have a casual dinner, so we can have a good chat."

Zhang Zuolin was afraid that there would be no time for heart-to-heart talk, and when he heard about the meal, his mood lifted.But he still said: "My lord has a lot of official duties, and I dare not disturb you in humble positions." "What's bothering you, let's have a good talk." The food and wine were all ready-made, and only a table was set up in the upper room, and Zhang Xiluan and Zhang Zuolin were facing each other, chatting while drinking.Because Zhang Xiluan got a good horse, he was very happy, so he wanted to say something useful for Zhang Zuolin.So, as soon as he opened the cup, he asked straight: "Zhang Yingguan, my general office is like a wandering monk. I just pass by when I walk past. Sometimes, I can only say a few words for others, which won't do much. However, some people still have to listen to my words. That’s how it is in the officialdom, as Cao Xueqin said, if you take something seriously, it might be false; if you treat it as false, it will become true! How about this? : Whether it’s true or not, I want to hear about your life experience, maybe one day it will be of some use.” He raised his glass and said, “Let’s chat casually, let’s have a drink.”

Zhang Zuolin felt a little embarrassed, his background was disgraceful, and he couldn't hide it, and he was ashamed to say it.His forehead was burning hot.However, he wanted to take refuge in the mountains, and to be honest, he was afraid that his feet would be exposed in the future and he would not be able to end it.So, I had no choice but to tell the whole story of pulling Liuzi, robbing houses, defecting to the government, and becoming a battalion officer.At the end, he lowered his head and said, "My lord, I'm a humble person who doesn't do anything in the world. He always wants to change his ways and return to the right. It's hard to wash off the black mud and sewage on his body for a lifetime."

I don't know if Zhang Xiluan was open-minded, or because he took in Zhang Zuolin's good horse. After hearing Zhang Zuolin's life experience, he not only showed no contempt, but showed a very happy look, and said carelessly: "Zhang Yingguan, you have a good background! Now The world is in turmoil, and actions are turbulent. Maybe one day or one night, they will be torn apart. Dare to rush, dare to kill and fight is just what the general trend requires. Everyone is cowardly and incompetent. Is it home? I think that this current situation will definitely create a hero like you! In the future, as long as you are loyal to your duties and serve the court, I think you will make great achievements in the future." Zhang Xiluan made an impromptu speech, and Zhang Zuolin was so happy that his whole body fell apart.Pick up the wine glass and toast the boss with a full toast.Said: "Your Excellency lifts up Zuolin so much, and Zuolin will be grateful for his whole life. From now on, it will depend on your lord's cultivation, and it will be used as Lin's place. I must be heartbroken!" Zhang Zuolin's sycophancy was very good, and Zhang Xiluan was very comfortable! For a few days, he kept saying good things for Zhang Zuolin in front of the prefect Zeng Yun.In the officialdom, there has always been an unwritten custom: Even if this person is the most famous villain here, as long as Chief Shangfeng comes and can say a few good words for him, his worth will be multiplied overnight; The higher the value, the greater the value-added of the boasted person.If Shangfeng said another sentence, "If you are using him, I want to use this person and give him something to do." Then, this person will have a "yellow robe".Therefore, everyone wants to become a relative, and the higher the climb, the better! Police Zhang Xi is the general manager of Fengtian, and in his hands, it doesn't take much effort to put a magistrate in his hands; he has said so many good things for Zhang Zuolin, Zeng Yun Naturally, "there is a tacit understanding".Therefore, he said unambiguously to Zhang Xiluan: "Your Excellency said that the score is not bad. At the beginning, when Zhang Zuolin first arrived in Xinmin, I thought he was a talent. When there were divergent opinions, I blocked it by myself and reported to the general's office for him. Battalion Officer. Today, I will use him again." A few days later, Zhang Xiluan was going back to Fengtian after his affairs, and the magistrate once again sent Zhang Zuolin with a battalion of officers and soldiers to escort him under the pretext of "the region in western Liaoning is not peaceful".Not only expressed his loyalty to Shangfeng, but also secretly gave Zhang Zuolin a good opportunity.Zhang Zuolin understood, and before leaving, he went to the magistrate's upper room to express himself. "Your Excellency attaches so much importance to the humble position, the humble position must win glory for you! Guaranteed to send the general manager to Fengtian safely." Zhang Zuolin selected elite soldiers, ordered them to change into new clothes and hats, and armed himself neatly. After explaining everything that should be explained, he followed Zhang Xiluan's horse, flaunting his might and running towards Fengtian cautiously. In the eyes of sensible people, Zhang Zuolin escorted Zhang Xiluan, it was superfluous: Zhang Xiluan was protected by a team of personal soldiers, strong and well-armed, walking in the "neutral zone", no willow would dare to rob; For the journey, Zhang Xiluan is a cavalry team, starting as late as possible and arriving as early as possible.In broad daylight, dare to have bold bandits to rob officers and soldiers?! They are afraid that they will not be able to dodge in time! Therefore, people think that there is no need to send an escort at all. Things were unexpected. Zhang Xiluan could have arrived in Fengtian safe and sound, but it was because of Zhang Zuolin's escort that he almost lost his life on the way-- Here we have to talk about the rest of the Sanjiegou bandits Du Lishan who were wiped out by Zhang Zuolin not long ago.Du Lishan was beaten to death.Guan Yanhong was seriously injured, and the minions were all scattered.But there were thirty or so stubborn stubborn people who would rather die than leave Guan Yanhong, and said, "I must kill Zhang Zuolin to avenge Chief Du!" Guan Yanhong was very grateful to them and said, "Okay, let's live and die together." Let's go! Liuzi is not scattered, the top priority is to kill Zhang Zuolin. Send a few brothers, put in more effort, go to the west of Liaoning in disguise, and listen to Zhang Zuolin's news at any time. If we find out, we will fight him. The remnant bandits in Sanjiegou were transformed into Xinmin Mansion, found out Zhang Zuolin was escorting Zhang Xiluan to Fengtian, and immediately ran back to report to Guan Yanhong. Eager to take revenge, Guan Yanhong jumped off the bed and was about to lead her brothers to stop her on the way. robbery.Unexpectedly, she was so anxious that she just jumped, and the leg bones that had just been connected tightly were broken again. She let out a scream, fell to the ground, and passed out. Guan Yanhong couldn't move anymore. Du Sanliu, Du Lishan's nephew, puffed up his chest: "Auntie doesn't need to kiss me. I will take my nephew with me. I will definitely kill Zhang Zuolin!" After waking up, Guan Yanhong thought about it calmly, and said, "Let's forget this time, and look for another chance later." Du Sanliu said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take my brothers there, and I can finish this matter." Guan Yanhong said: "How many people do we have? Do you know how many officers and soldiers there are? How can we fight this battle well? We only have more than 30 brothers. If a few die, then the board will really fall apart, and we will never think about it." Revenge." When everyone heard it, they felt that Guan Yanhong was right, and they all lowered their heads. Among the willows in Sanjiegou, Du Sanliu was young but versatile in both civil and military affairs, and it was Du Lishan who regarded Laba as his successor.I usually don't talk much, speak out, and don't let go.He is eager to avenge his uncle, but what Aunt Jue said is also true.He thought for a long time, and then said, "Auntie, my nephew has a new idea, can you tell me if it's okay?" Guan Yanhong said, "Just tell me..." "Auntie is right, there are so many officers and soldiers, we can't fight them." Du Sanliu paused, and then said, "I think we should not fight recklessly, but fight smartly. Learn from the heroes of Liangshan to outwit their birthdays." According to Gang’s method, go to twenty brothers, disguise themselves as businessmen, and walk the way Zhang Zuolin wants to go. When the time comes, just let them go. Once dead, we're done running!",, Guan Yanhong didn't speak, she was thinking "Is this plan feasible?" Du Sanliu said again: "Auntie, if the operation does not go well, we will also tell Zhang Zuolin that he is avenging his uncle, and let him know that the man in Sanjiegou is still alive!" Guan Yanhong thought over and over again, and agreed to this approach.She also explained carefully to Du Sanliu and others, telling them to be careful.After some preparations, Du Sanliu and the others dressed up as businessmen selling medicinal materials and rushed to the vicinity of Xinmin. Zhang Zuolin guarded Zhang Xiluan and was walking forward when he suddenly saw a group of cars by the woods in front of him, so he hurriedly ordered someone to check.The viewer came back and said "it is selling medicinal materials".Zhang Zuolin said: "Tell them to hide immediately, and tell them that an adult is passing by." Although Zhang Zuolin arranged for people to clear the way, he still underestimated the enemy. He relied on having many guns, and he was an officer and soldier.Then immediately leisurely and fearlessly.When we got to the edge of the woods, the group of drug dealers suddenly came out together, and one of them—Xi 5 was Du Sanliu—yelled: "Zhang Zuolin, you son of a bitch, save your head for my boss!" , Uncle Du Lishan apologizes!" As he spoke, guns were fired indiscriminately.Zhang Zuolin's horse was shot, and Zhang Xiluan's horse was also shot.The officers and soldiers fought again and protected Er Zhang.Although the bandits fired again and again, seeing that there were so many officers and soldiers, they knew that it was difficult to win. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin had been protected, and he would suffer losses if he fought again, so he whistled, left the car and ran into the woods. Zhang Zuolin knew how powerful Guan Yanhong was, and seeing that the bandits had already fled, he stopped pursuing her.He hurried over and greeted the general office. Zhang Xiluan didn't know the inside story, and thought that Zhang Zuolin was good at fighting, which made him escape from danger.He hurriedly said: "Thanks to Zhang Yingguan's courageous killing of the bandits, the disaster was avoided. I want to remember the credit for you!" After this battle, Zhang Xiluan felt that Zhang Zuolin was a very useful talent, and he wanted to promote him. reuse.Not long after, when the border of Inner Mongolia was in chaos from time to time, bandits harassed and the people were panicked, the local government requested that strong troops be sent to stabilize the situation.Zhang Xiluan naturally thought of Zhang Zuolin.Soon, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the leader of the Fifth Patrol Battalion, stationed in Zhengjiatun. Zhang Zuolin really has a prosperous official career.A bandit in the deserted mountains, less than three years after defecting to the government, he was promoted to a commanding officer equivalent to the head of the regiment. He could almost sit with the magistrate, so disgraceful! Zhang Zuolin has been in Xinminye for three years, and now he is going to be promoted, the officials of Xinmin, and the common people of Limin have had a moderate shock: those who kiss him want to flatter him, hoping to get his glory in the future, some people This person took advantage of him, tried every means, and thought of ways to express something to him; those who hated him, when they saw him promoted again, feared that he would not change his banditry and cause trouble in the future, some dodged, some Turning hatred into joy, she also thought of ways to show him something.Zhang Zuolin felt that the opportunity to gain fame and fortune had come, so he would always come to invites and accept gifts; he was overwhelmed day and night. After all, Zhang Zuolin is a man with a bit of conscience. In the lively atmosphere of welcome and departure, he did not forget a benefactor in Xinmin area - Zhong En from Jiangjiatun.At the beginning, when Zhang Zuolin first entered the green forest, no one was willing to accept him. Zhong En, who runs a pawn shop, took him into the town and raised him.Later, he was given a good horse, and Zhang Zuolin made his way out.Zhang Zuolin had grown up and was about to leave Xinmin Gaosheng. He bought a generous gift and hurried to Jiangjiatun with two officers and soldiers. Zhong En, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, is a man of the world. He makes friends widely and is willing to do good deeds. He does not know how many people have been rescued.When it's over, it's forgotten.Back then when he helped Zhang Zuolin, he was only treated as a hooligan.Later, knowing that Zhang Zuolin had become an official, he just smiled lightly.Now, Zhang Zuolin came suddenly with a big gift to reward Zhong En, Zhong En was a little panicked. "Commander, what are you doing?" Zhong En arched his hands and said as he greeted him in the room. "Third Brother," Zhang Zuolin also arched his hands. "I know you're blaming me, brother. It's your fault if you don't come to see third brother!" "Where, where!" Zhong En said, "I miss you all the time, how can I blame you!" "Third brother, it's not that my younger brother won't come to see you, but I'm thinking that one day I'll look like a human being and come to see my brother in glory! What kind of reputation is my brother? I can only win glory for my brother, not give it to you. Shame on brother!" "Leader... No, no, brother, you are glorious now, and brother and you are also glorious!" As he said, he asked the guys to pick up the horses and prepare the banquet.During the banquet, there were endless words of missing and caring, endless compliments and blessings, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Zhang Zuolin said: "Third brother, my brother has left Xinmin this time. I wonder if there will be a time to come back? There must be less time to visit my brother in the future. If my brother has something to do, just pass it on to Zhengjiatun . ·Of course my brother should fly high!, Zhong En said: "In a small place in Xinmin, how can you lie down in the rut ditch? My brother really hopes that my brother can sit in Fengtian and enter Beijing. At that time, I can also go to the imperial capital Go shopping." .A few words made Zhang Zuolin's heart warm.He hurriedly said again: "Third brother, when the brother is stable, he must help his brother change his appearance, don't just be the owner of a small pawn shop, you should also be beautiful!" "To tell you the truth, brother, I'm very content. In Xinmin, no one dares to stick my neck. Is contentment always happy!" "People go to high places! I have become prosperous, but my brother is still the same, and people scold me." -- Mo Dao Zhang Zuolin, this is a joke, a word for the occasion, no! After he became the military governor in Fengtian, he immediately bought a large piece of land for Zhong En in Jiangjiatun, and set up a pawn shop for him, making Zhong En the general manager Manager; Later, Sanshecheng Pawnshop was merged with Qingshe Grain Store and Shenyang Zeng Sanshe Grain Store, and handed over to Manager Zhong En, who went to congratulate Zhong En every year.This is something to say, just mention it. Zhang Zuolin was busy in Jiangjiatun for a long time, and then led the officers and soldiers back to Xinmin Mansion. At this time, the sun is already westward, the sunset is reflected in the sky, the birds are returning to their nests, the woodcutters are descending the mountain, and the village and streets are gradually quieting down.Zhang Zuolin seemed drunk or awake, sitting on the back of the horse, leisurely, not knowing who's eating tonight, when suddenly a person rushed forward to stop the horse's head. . . "Commander, do you still recognize me?" Zhang Zuolin raised his eyes and saw a person standing in front of him, about forty years old, of medium build, with a round face and white face, two sparkling black eyes, wearing a long black gown, a six-party hat on his head, and short hair on his lips. He has a small mustache, elegant and elegant, and has an extraordinary bearing.For a moment Zhang Zuolin couldn't remember where it would pass. "You are......" When the man saw that Zhang Zuolin had forgotten him, he was a little impatient.With a slight smile, he said: "You are a nobleman who is forgetful, so I have to report my family name: I am a local, my surname is Jiang, and my first name is only: Zhiyu, a small Xinmin, I am the president of a small chamber of commerce. Disturb the belt Pretend to be an adult. " As soon as Zhang Zuolin heard that he was the president of the chamber of commerce, he suddenly realized, shook off his horse, and arched his hands: "I know, I know! President Jiang has affection for me, Zhang, how can I forget? Please, please come to my residence to talk. " Jiang Yutian stood still, and said: "The leader Zhang Tong still remembers the villain after all, and he doesn't forget his feelings. In this way, we can have a good talk." --It turned out that during Zhang Zuolin's garrison in Xinmin in the past few years, the officers and soldiers' food and salaries were often unable to pay the peak, and the troops ate their own food, and sometimes they were hungry.Zhang Zuolin was an officer and soldier, and he couldn't block the road or dig a kiln, so he had to borrow money from big and wealthy merchants; later he had to borrow money from the president of the chamber of commerce.Jiang Yutian felt that Zhang Zuolin was an officer and soldier, the defense line remained unchanged, and the debts would always be repaid. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin's superiors always refused to pay the army, so Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to delay and delay.Now, Zhang Zuolin is leaving, no matter whether he is promoted or not, the team is leaving.The head of the chamber of commerce was very anxious: Where can I find him in the future? It would be better to tear up his face today and stop the horse to demand debts. Zhang Zuolin also understood the purpose of the president of the chamber of commerce.Although he was very angry at blocking horses in the street, but in the end it was because he was in debt to others, and it was not acceptable to be unreasonable, let alone violent.He hurriedly laughed and said: "President Jiang, is that so, the superior always fails to pay the military salary. I am also very anxious about the loan you handled, but..." Jiang Yutian said: "You know your difficulties, and I know my difficulties. Now your team is about to start, and various merchants are waiting to use the money. What do you think about it?" Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to say: "Well, before I leave, I must find a way to pay off the debts of the chamber of commerce." "Can you do it in three days?" The head of the chamber of commerce said, "I'll go to the barracks to find you on the third day." "Okay! I'll pay you back in three days." "Leader Zhang Tong, don't blame me for being rigid. I have dozens of companies and hundreds of mouths, and it's hard for everyone to eat. If I can't pay back after three days, I won't be particular about it." "Return, return, return!" Zhang Zuolin said: "I will pay back the money in three days!" Only then did the head of the chamber of commerce let go of the horse's head and let Zhang Zuolin walk back to the barracks—from then on, Zhang Zuolin got to know the president of the chamber of commerce even better. The three northeastern provinces of China have boundless forests, mountains and plains full of mineral deposits, and are rich in soybeans, water chestnuts, ore mines, which are coveted by the Russians.After the Russo-Japanese War broke out, Tsarist Russia set up agencies in Harbin to recruit surrenders and rebels, and organized their own forces to gradually become enemies with the Qing government.In the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1907), the Qing government destroyed grasslands and drove herdsmen away in the name of reclaiming wasteland and farming in eastern Inner Mongolia.The Russians, together with the anti-people in Inner Mongolia, fought against the Qing government.This situation brought Zhang Zuolin an opportunity for development.Zhang Zuolin led his officers and soldiers of the Fifth Patrol Battalion to Tongliao to suppress bandits.The flag was won, and Tongliao was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the bandit states in Taonan area.He was highly praised by Shangfeng, who not only agreed to expand the fifth battalion to seven battalions, but also placed Wu Junsheng in Tongliao and Sun Liechen in Taonan under the command of Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin's team had increased to more than 3,500 people. With a large number of people and great strength, the victorious division was invigorated. Zhang Zuolin led his team to go deep into the territory of Inner Mongolia. The Great Khingan Mountains were wiped out.The bandits fled into Outer Mongolia and fled to Russia.The once chaotic northeast border calmed down again.Zhang Zuolin left the troops to guard the border.While reporting the results of the battle, the team returned to Zhengjiatun. "Master Wang" returned triumphantly, and the Northeast was peaceful. Zhang Zuolin's reputation suddenly resounded throughout the three provinces in Northeast China. One day, Yu Wendou, the president of the Zhengjiatun Chamber of Commerce, came to the barracks to visit Zhang Zuolin. Yu Wendou was originally from Haiyang County, Shandong Province. During the Tongzhi period, Shandong was flooded and he moved to Kanto with his family.Relying on a broken car, the business was bleak and gradually prospered; in the early years of Guangxu, he set up a "Fengjudang" business in Zhengjiatun.The business is booming, and the shop is getting bigger and bigger. After more than ten years of hard work, he has become the most prosperous businessman in the countryside.So, I changed "Fengjudang" to "Fengjuchang".The business friends saw that he was kind and good at doing business, so they elected him as the chairman of the Lishu County Chamber of Commerce. Yu Wendou entrusted an agent to run the "Fengjuchang" business store, and he only took care of the affairs of the chamber of commerce. In the area around Zhengjiatun, bandits were rampant, and wars followed one after another, making people panic.Zhang Zuolin led the "Wang Division" to garrison, and won successive victories in suppressing the bandits. The common people welcomed him very much, and the chamber of commerce also frequently expressed something to the army.Sometimes the military salary is not enough, so Yu Wendou helps to raise money.Come and go, get along very well.After returning from the expedition, Zhang Zuolin paid a special visit to Yu Wendou at the chamber of commerce.Now, Yu Wendou specially went to the barracks to pay homage.When friends meet, they naturally talk freely.The two have been talking about the local customs and customs from their mission to suppress bandits to business prosperity. The more they talked, the more speculative they were, and the more they talked.Zhang Zuolin ordered someone to arrange a banquet, and he must have a drink with Chairman Yu.Yu Wendou didn't refuse either.Three cups poured into his belly, Zhang Zuolin smiled. "President Yu, I have to thank you very much today. The army has arrived in Guixiang, and the common people..." Yu Wendou shook his hand. "Commander, Wen Dou is here for a private visit today, and he doesn't want to get involved in the military or politics. To be honest, I have made another preparation. Soon, friends from the business world will hold a grand banquet to celebrate Master Wang. By then , let’s talk about the affairs of the world again. Now..." "Okay, President Yu is in the same interest as me, so let's really have fun and talk about other things." "Have fun!" Yu Wendou said: "Talk about goodbye of." The two had a toast, and Yu Wendou said: "Zhang Tongdai, I recently encountered a strange thing. There was a blind man surnamed Liu who wanted to see me. Very clever. I don't have any contact with these people in my life, so I don't want to receive him. But he has already walked in the door, so I have to entertain him." "Fortune-teller?!" Zhang Zuolin said: "Talky and talkative!" "What do you think? Once you talk about it, you are really knowledgeable." "What knowledge?" "Listen." Yu Wendou said: "After the blind man sits down, he will tell my fortune. I say forget it, forget it. People with the same horoscope may not have the same fate. What do you think he said?" "It's all nonsense anyway." "No!" Yu Wendou said: "The blind man told a very interesting story—" So Yu Wendou first learned the story: Blind Liu said: "A fortune teller, a monk and a magistrate in modest clothes went to the magistrate. The three of them took the same boat. Lu Yao's boat was slow and had nothing to chat. The magistrate asked the fortune teller to tell his fortune. After the horoscope birthday is reported , the fortune teller hurriedly said: "Good luck, good luck! The official fortune is prosperous, and you can be the magistrate when you go ashore. " The monk next to him said: "Sir, my birth date is the same as his. I also take this boat. I will be a monk whether I go ashore or not. Why?" Similarly, the helmsman said: "Why do I only have the life of punting the boat? You can see that you are talking nonsense." 4 The fortune-teller said: "The three of you were born at the same time when the rooster crowed, that is, when the rooster crowed. The difference is: one was born When the rooster crows and raises its neck, the difference between the two born when the rooster stretches its neck and bows its head after crowing is a thousand miles away. This is: raise your head to know the government and bow your head to the monk, stretch your neck to the ground and push the boat!" After hearing the story, Zhang Zuolin shook his head and smiled. "Nonsense, nonsense! The Zeng Zhifu of my Xinmin Mansion landed at midnight, everything was asleep, and he didn't raise his head for anything. He didn't act as a prefect!" Yu Wendou also laughed. "It's true if you believe it, and it's false if you don't believe it. However, it's not bad for this gentleman to count his life for the little girl." "Miss Ling is naturally lucky." Zhang Zuolin said, "How old is this year? What's your name?" "Born in May of the lunar calendar in the 22nd year of Guangxu, Xu said that she is 15 years old, and her name is Fengzhi." "Good name. She must grow into a big girl." Zhang Zuolin said, "What did the fortune teller say to her?" "There's a lot to talk about." Yu Wendou said: "There are a series of words in front of me, such as Bingshen, Jiawu, Renyin, and gold in the sea, fire in the furnace, soil on the roadside, and gold in the sword's edge. I have never heard of it."
