Please give me a monthly ticket. Generally speaking, those who practice martial arts are always away from pornography, gambling, drugs, and sex. Therefore, the meeting here is not like when Wang Maoru was in a meeting. Everyone was full of smoke-drinks, but they were drinking tea and lingering. To describe it in later generations, the meeting was really harmonious, which reflects high quality, high life and high requirements. However, everyone present had ugly expressions, frowning each with their brows and bowed their heads without saying a word.

"Wang Maoru's people are really stockpiled in Zalantun? Twenty thousand people?" Xu Lanzhou asked incredulously, how could he have more than 20,000 people? How could he afford more than 20,000 people? Not to mention other things, military pay and weapons, it is a slight consumption. The consumption of 20,000 people a year is 600,000 oceans. My God, the total tax revenue of Heizhou Province last year was only 1.2 million taels of silver, which was combined into less than 2 million oceans. Wang Maoru could eat it? But indeed, after he ate it, he even forced the army to force the Heilongjiang Provincial Army. He was rich, and he was indeed rich. The status of the richest businessman in North China was really well-deserved.

Xu Lanzhou's confidant Zhang Fugui immediately answered and said, "Yes, the Grand Marshal, except for a brigade left behind in the Hulunbuir Grassland, the rest of the people have come."

"Why are there so many people?" Xu Lanzhou stood up and walked left and right, still unable to believe it, and said, "Are you wrong? They have a maximum of more than 10,000 people, and they are on par with us. How come so many people suddenly appear?"

Zhang Fugui scratched his head and said he didn't know. Li Jinglin frowned and said, "This guy has evil intentions and his intentions are not small. Heilongjiang can satisfy his appetite. Therefore, this guy must have a very special intention. The general, his 20,000 people are not empty talk."

Xu Lanzhou sighed and had to agree in his heart. Sitting on the table, he was not good at smoking, drinking and women, so he had to drink a sip of good tea. Then he took a sip of the tea poured by his son, and always felt that the tea had no taste.

Zhang Fugui was frightened by Wang Maoru last time, so he naturally wanted to show his toughness and regain his face in front of everyone, so he said, "What's that Wang? As long as our general sends troops, he will definitely be able to capture it." His words caused everyone to laugh at him. Who can tell this in plain words, but he can only deceive himself. After he can say it carefully, he even doesn't believe it. Wang Maoru is like a poisonous snake. If he doesn't take action, he will be a fatal blow. People often say that Wang Maoru has four under him.

The Great Vajra are Li Delin, Gong Xiaoqi, Zhao Zengfu, and Li Pinxian. Not to mention the other three. Only Li Delin, on the battlefield in Hunan at the beginning of the year, defeated the arrogant guardian Liu Shixian, the main force of the Guizhou army, to escape back to Guizhou. The cavalry of the Gong Xiaoqi was also elusive, coming and going like fire to kill weeds. Although I don’t know what Zhao Zengfu is, but by his ability to guard Hulunbuir, he also knows his ability, but Li Pinxian is slightly inferior to the four major Vajras.

Li Jinglin suggested: "Master, it's better to do this. I will lead some people to Gannan County to guard Wang Maoru's army. If the fight starts, I can resist it for a while. I am going to recruit local people in Gannan to join the army as a temporary military service. I think if Wang Maoru really does something unfavorable, I can resist it at least three days. Give the general time to prepare for it."

"The Chief of Staff is a great task here." Xu Lanzhou said in a deep voice.

Li Jinglin smiled freely and said, "Shishuai Zhi, I suggest that I need to temporarily expand the soldiers these days to prevent accidents. Shishuai Zhi took me with me, and I will definitely repay you with death."

Then Xu Lanzhou's eldest son Xu Jiafu looked very embarrassed. He was a staff officer and the finance director in charge of the entire division. How could he not know how much money the provincial army has?

This money was obtained from the smoke and taxes and lijin. It was not much. In addition, because the Chinese bank, which owns the stake in Wang Maoru, has embezzled most of the money, and now it can only support the shortage of military pay after three months. What should we do if the military pay is done in these three months? Only God knows how to expand the army? Chief of Staff Li Jinglin is not in charge of the family and does not know that the food is expensive. No wonder, most of the old warlords regard the army as private property, and how can they inform outsiders of their financial situation? They are generally in the hands of their nephews.

Xu Lanzhou was very proud and said, "Yeah, let's expand 20,000 people at the moment, hum." However, he did not see his eldest son crying and still had 20,000 people. This is too irrelevant, we have no money.

"Shishuai Zhi, or..." Hu Yunshan, the commander of the cavalry, stood up and said hesitantly.

"Tell me."

"Or let's form an alliance with Bi Guifang to fight against Wang Maoru together." Hu Yunshan said.

"Fart!" Xu Lanzhou didn't say anything, but Zhang Fugui jumped up and slapped the table and said, "Who is Bi Guifang? He is thinking about how to hide our handsome man, Ba Ying'er, Yingshun, how do you get through? It's all his mother. If we join forces with him, then we'll really be flirting with the tiger."

Xu Lanzhou said: "Xiao Zhang's words are right."

Hu Yunshan sat down, but the artillery commander Ou Chenglin nodded at Hu Yunshan and extended his thumbs to agree, stood up and said, "Master General Zhang, I have something to say."

"Talk." Xu Lanzhou said.

Ou Chenglin smiled and said, "Would we wait for Wang Maoru to eat it one by one, or should we follow the example of the Wushu Alliance that burned the Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period? Now it seems that Wang Maoru occupied the time of our Heilongjiang Province. He was far away in Hulunbuir, with a gap between the Daxinganling. He would come whenever he wanted to fight. If we went over and hit him, we would really have to break our legs to get to him. Bi Guifang won over Yingshun and Ba Ying'e and ran to Helen, with his back against Hejiang in Jilin, with Meng Enyuan's **

The regiment is behind the scenes, and Yingshun and Baying'e are both cavalrymen, so they have occupied the advantage of the territory. As for the Grand Marshal, you have over the years of prestige over Heilongjiang. It can be said that if the Grand Marshal is the general, it will be much more popular with the people than Zhu Qinglan and Bi Guifang as the general. Therefore, you have occupied the harmony of the people. The old saying goes, the time is not as good as the geographical location, and the advantage of the territory is not as good as the harmony of the people. If the battle begins, the Grand Marshal will definitely win, but we both suffer losses, so Bi Guifang will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Why should we join forces with him for the time being and use him? What do you think?"

"Okay, good idea." Change the word to a word, the meaning is very different. Cooperation and utilization, although the meaning is the same, but speaking it still seems that "utilizing" means that you are the protagonist. As for cooperation, that is the double protagonist, how can we highlight the role of our handsome man?

"Master General, do you need to win over Zhang Kuiwu?" Zhang Fugui asked.

Xu Lanzhou waved his hand and said, "Send someone to come to Gannan County to support Chief Li's defense... As for whether he comes or not, let him go. His little people and guns are nothing."

Then Xu Lanzhou sent a lobbyist to Helen to persuade Bi Guifang to cooperate with him. Bi Guifang had already made this plan, and the two sides hit it off. The enemies actually came together to unite to fight against the aggressive Wang Maoru.

Yuan Shikai was sick in bed because of his resignation of emperors and abolishment. Now he had to deal with national affairs by Secretary of State Xu Shichang, and the military affairs were temporarily handled by Duan Qirui. The Beijing government was also a powerful force for power and profit. However, the south stopped the Northern Expedition because the power struggle was in a melee, and no one cared about the dispute in the north.

At this time, General Shengwu, Zhang Zuolin, also led his army back to Shenyang City, and immediately sent an envoy to persuade Wang Maoru not to act without war. Wang Maoru replied that he had no intention of using force, but was just a routine military exercise to prevent the army from being lazy after a winter. Zhang Zuolin knew Wang Maoru's ambition, so he accelerated his actions, wooed Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin, first forcing Duan Zhigui to leave Fengtian, and then fought for power with Feng Delin, hoping to compete for the military and political power of Fengtian Province as soon as possible.

In the end, because of Zhang Zuolin, civil and military officials in Fengtian Province expelled Duan Zhigui, and Duan Zhigui was forced to resign from the position of Fengtian Governor. Zhang Zuolin, the general of Shengwu, was finally able to initially control the entire province. However, at this time, Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng were also full of wings, and Zhang Zuolin began to win over and suppress the two of them again. Zhang Zuolin had no time to manage other people's affairs, and Wang Maoru's struggle for power in Heilongjiang was also easier.

Zhalantun, Heilongjiang Second Army Division's military camp, in the headquarters, the small coal stove burned red, and the temperature in the room rose. Wang Maoru sat next to the small coal stove and roasted potatoes, and the three sticks on one side were drooling, looking forward to it.

Luo Hao shouted a report outside the door, and after coming in, he was followed by a young man of medium figure and ordinary appearance. This person was no other person. He was the assassin who killed four secretarys next to Bi Guifang at the Qiqihar Station at the beginning of the year. After he successfully escaped from danger, he continued his studies at Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Wang Maoru ordered Luo Hao to bring the assassin, but the man was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very surprised, how young he asked: "Your name, age, and background."

The man immediately respectfully saluted a military salute and said, "The villain is named Li Muyu, 22 years old this year. He was originally from Nanjing. Later, the Democratic Party and the Beiyang Army fought several times in Nanjing, and the generals on both sides plundered. My father said that the safe place is only related to the outside of the pass, and the whole family moved to the outside of the pass to live in Changchun Prefecture. The villain once studied in the Nanjing Middle School for a year and also studied at the St. John's School in Shanghai. Therefore, some knowledge was that after coming outside of the pass, he settled accounts and became an apprentice in Changchun Prefecture. When the general passed by Changchun Prefecture, the villain came over to serve as a soldier and participated in the battle with the 45th Brigade. He attacked Babuzabu for thousands of miles in the snow. After the establishment of the Yakeshi Non-commissioned officer cadets, the villain was selected as a non-commissioned officer cadet to further study the infantry department because he had studied."

Wang Maoru nodded very satisfied. Luo Hao introduced from the side: "This kid is the first in the infantry department, a genius of plasticity. I saw that he was smart and asked him to come. At first, this kid was not happy. How great is it now. You can be an infantryman and be a horse in the year of the monkey and horse month."

"You are just making excuses for yourself. You don't let go when you see the talent, and you are definitely a dog." Wang Maoru smiled again and said, "No, yes, Sergeant Li Muyu, you have two choices now. One is to enter the army, be promoted to the platoon leader, and the other is to join the intelligence department and serve as an assistant to Luo Hao. How about it?"

"I'm willing to stay in the Intelligence Department." Li Muyu said loudly.

"Haha, it seems that Luo Hao is still your charm." Wang Maoru praised.!~!
