Jia Maoqing's control over the fifth town has always been average. Although the officials are in charge of the military, in fact, the appointment and removal power of grassroots cadres in the army is not in his hands. He cannot control human rights or financial power, so it is difficult to say that his control over the army is.

During Zhao Guanhou's trip to Songjiang, the infantry commander Yuan Baoshan and the Yuan Baohe brothers who guarded Jinan became friends with Jia Maoqing. The friendship between the two sides was established very quickly. The Yuan brothers were once Zhao Guanhou's confidants, and the two had a strong grasp of the troops. Once the friendship between the two sides was established, Jia Maoqing's status was significantly improved.

There are many discussions in the military camp about the reason why the two left Zhao and went to Jia, and there is no consensus. The more authoritative statement is that the two were dissatisfied with Zhao Guanhou, and were dissatisfied with his own level. They could not bear to bear Zhao Guanhou's emphasis on Huai officers and Shandong Wuzhou Academy officers and despise military officers. So they wanted to commit another job. With the help of the two, the meeting was held very smoothly, and no officers were absent. The atmosphere of the meeting was tense and a bit unspeakable restless.

“Homemade in Shandong!”

At the beginning of the meeting, Jia Maoqing threw a bombshell. "According to the news, the general was seriously injured and could not take it seriously, and he might die soon. After the assassin was arrested, he committed suicide and his identity was difficult to find out. However, according to their close-fitting clothes, he should be the servants of a servant in a royal palace in the capital. Therefore, we have a preliminary judgment that the person who assassinated the general was the people in the capital."

After a word was made, the venue was in an uproar.

"The **** court actually attacked the general. They underestimated our fifth town, my mother, I'm fighting with them!"

"Yes, let's gather the team now and go to the capital to ask for military convictions! If the commander has a few shortcomings, he will set up a cannon to bombard the capital and let them bury the commander with him."

Jia Maoqing looked at the staff around him. Although the reaction below was very enthusiastic, it was obviously different from the direction he hoped. He coughed, "Calm down, the body of the general... is not optimistic. If we rashly start a fight now, we are not prepared enough, not to mention that there are the first and sixth elites in the two towns near the capital. We rush forward like this and have no chance of winning. If we want to take revenge, we must also take steady steps and take action step by step. Now, what we are most worried about is that the court sends a new governor and takes away our military power. In this way, all our efforts will be divided into water. At this opportunity, I think the only solution is to make a living in Shandong."

"Homemade in Shandong? What's this thing?"

"That is, we, Shandong, no longer obey the jurisdiction of the Dajin, will be managed by the Shandong people themselves. We will launch a representative of public opinion in Shandong, who will be the Minister of Civil Affairs of Shandong, who will be in charge of Shandong civil affairs, and choose another person to be the Chief of Military Affairs of the Military Affairs of Shandong. When our troops become stronger in the future, or if we find a reliable allies, we can lead our troops to Beijing and punish the people and punish the crimes."

The officers below stopped talking and all looked up at Jia Maoqing, as if they could not understand his words or accept them. A staff officer stood up and said:

"This is the governance model that is popular in the power of Thailand. Military personnel do not interfere in local civil affairs and realize military and political division. The traditional management model of "mounting horses to control the army and dismounting horses to manage the people" is no longer suitable for the current era and should be eliminated. Moreover, there is also an elderly man in Shandong who is worthy enough to convince the public. If he always comes forward, he will definitely be able to quickly stabilize the market and ensure that Shandong does not fall into panic."

A manager asked, "I don't care whether Shandong panics or not. As for whether the times are not the same, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to ask, Shandong has made its own money, who will pay the military salary? We work hard to serve as the army, but we can't owe it."

Jia Maoqing nodded, "I have thought about this question, so I specially invited a respected old man to come and cooperate with the military salary."

The door of the conference room opened, and Zou Jingze, wearing a brand new robe, entered with his head held high. Although he was over fifty years old, he was healthy, energetic, and his voice was particularly loud.

"Brothers, I am the Speaker of the Shandong Advisory Bureau. Since taking office, I have been unable to serve the local government and benefit the people. I am really ashamed of everyone's trust. The reason is that the old talent is lacking, and it is also that a group of dandy people in the court, fooling the people, pretending to be constitutional, and truly poisonous talents, and using the royal cabinet to perform constitutionalism. This has led to the failure of constitutionalism and the people's ambitions. Today, the people cannot live. The reason is that the Jurchens acted against the trend and the Wanyan family moved..."

He was very eloquent, standing on top and speaking with silence for more than twenty minutes, but the officer below had his doubts in his eyes became more and more serious. The manager who asked for military pay suddenly said:

"Jia Xiezheng, I don't understand the humble position. What does avenge the Grand Marshal's revenge have to do with Shandong's self-control? Even if Shandong wants to establish a constitution, it has nothing to do with our soldiers. We just eat the Grand Marshal's meal and listen to the Grand Marshal's orders. If the Grand Marshal wants to talk about self-control, he just needs to say to us, and we just follow the Grand Marshal. Do you know what you are doing now, agree or disagree? Besides, I think it's simple to choose a leader. The Grand Marshal's wife can temporarily act as the Chief of Civil Affairs and Chief of Staff of Reinstein, and can act as the Chief of Military Affairs. When the Grand Marshal's health is healed, everything will be easy."

"You can't say that. Constitutionalization and self-control are the Thai-Si model to learn. The key point of the Thai-Si model is that you cannot inherit power. What qualifications are the qualifications of the Grand Marshal's wife, a woman, to be the chief of the Civil Affairs Bureau? As for Ryanstein, he is a foreigner, and there is no reason to serve as the military and political chief of the independent official of Shandong. The fate of our Shandong must be decided by ourselves and cannot be entrusted to outsiders."

He looked at Zou Jingze, and Zou Jingze coughed, "After Shandong self-made, the Shandong Chamber of Commerce will subsidize all brothers with 100,000 yuan as a reward and reward. Please rest assured that in the past, Shandong localities and brothers in the fifth town were in peace. In the future, we will still be like this and will not have any impact on you."

Outside the conference room, there were sounds of military boots treading the ground and scolding. Someone shouted loudly, "Abolishing the imperial system and building a common alliance is the current trend of Taisie. Looking at the world, where countries are like us, and using such a backward system. It is precisely because the system is backward that we are bullied and so weak. Whoever dares to support the emperor now is to be enemies of us, and it is ****!"

"Mr. Jia, what do you mean?" Seeing the situation, the officers guessed that today was a Hongmen Banquet. The weapons were confiscated and there was no force to resist, but there was no fear on the faces of several officers. One of them pulled the buttons of the military uniform like provocatively, revealing his chest

"Brother, I have seen Tieler's sabre and spear outside the city. But the few people outside are not in my eyes. Why do you want to use force? Well, if you have the ability to stab here, I want to see who will do this! I put my words here, without the command of the commander, we cannot admit that there is any Shandong self-control. Besides, near our military camp, there is the foreign barracks. Once more than a thousand foreign teachers come, they are not enough for others to practice."

Jia Maoqing made this scene but failed to scare people. Instead, it made the matter awkward and had to look at Zou Jingze. The latter smiled awkwardly and quickly smoothed out the situation.

"Sir, you misunderstood. The brothers outside are definitely not malicious, but are worried about the country and are too excited. Warriors are all bloody, and whoever sees their country being bullied will not feel comfortable. Everyone is sitting, who is not breathing in his heart, hoping that this country can become prosperous and strong and no longer be bullied by foreigners? Zhao Dashuai's injuries... As far as I know, it is not optimistic. Even a foreign doctor cannot guarantee his safety. If Zhao Shuai has a few shortcomings, the court will send him out again.

When people come to take over, it will be very difficult for us to take action. Now, our Shandong self-control is actually avenging Zhao Shuai. When the imperial system is abolished, those princes will have no backers. At that time, they can naturally send special personnel to investigate the shooting. This is also reasonable. As for the foreigners you are worried about, don’t be afraid. They are mercenaries, and they are greedy for money, and they will borrow money from merchants and pay them. These foreign soldiers will naturally be used by me and will not shoot us."

The officer's face looked a little better, "So that's it. If it's like what Mr. Zou said, then we have nothing to say. But we also have our conditions. Once Zhao Shuai recovers health, he must ask the Marshal to return to office unconditionally. He will listen to whatever he says, and no one can obstruct. Secondly, we must send troops to protect the Marshal's family and mansion, and prohibit people from harassing and circulating. Finally, our position is appointed by the Marshal and no one can change it."

Once his conditions were raised, he was immediately supported by other officers. They naturally fought for the emperor and ministers, and they kept their positions first. Jia Maoqing did take the opportunity to change the military chief, but if he continued to stick to this idea at this time, he would immediately mutiny. Furthermore, the Yuan brothers, the chief and deputy chief of this bid, had already agreed to defect to Ge Ming, and there was no need to do anything.

He had no choice but to nod and said, "This is a matter of course. You don't have to worry. I promise that our association will not make any changes in personnel. However, in the future, this association may be expanded into a benchmark. You guy will be promoted to a benchmark. Don't say that I am not trustworthy."

He beat a haha, but the pipe strap smiled and said, "Thank you for your cultivation. You know how big the pus we have. Being a pipe strap is an exception. We don't have enough materials. You can keep this product and entrust others with it."

Jia Maoqing found that Zhao Guanhou's mastery of the troops was stronger than he thought. Whether it was promotion or intimidation, it was not enough to make the troops use it as his own. Then he could only use a delay. As for solving Zhao Guanhou, he could only move slowly.

The next morning, the Shandong newspaper office was surprised to find that the Huanglong flag on the flagpole had been lowered in the Shandong Governor, the vassal department, the procuratorate and other yamen, and replaced by several flags that had never been seen before. In front of the Shandong Governor's yamen, there was a five-color flag hanging on the yamen, and in front of the vassal department, there was a golden gourd and axe flag hanging on it.

When they arrived at the Jinan Prefecture, the flag was even more chaotic. Several flags, including the Eighteen Iron Blood Stars, flew over the city at the same time, making the people think that in one night, Jinan was divided up by several forces.

The official newspapers in Jinan have not been released today. It is said that the newspapers were controlled and the newspapers could not be printed. Some of the newspapers in the Minzu were cleaned up by the Cao Gang and could not be opened in the past few days. A few Minzu newspapers and newspapers also opened skylights, saying that there was important news and waiting for emergency layout.

At around 9 a.m., the newspaper boy finally pulled his neck on the street and shouted, "I read the newspaper, I read it, Shandong's own business, and the imperial system has been cancelled! From then on, Shandong belongs to Shandong people and no longer belongs to Wanyan's family! Shandong's civil speaker Jing Zegong delivered an important speech, expelling the Tartars and restoring China."

But at this time, the contents in the newspaper were no longer important, and the citizens of Jinan could no longer care about what Mr. Jingze said. The pedestrians stopped and their eyes were focused on the middle of the road. Hundreds of big men in strong suits, striding on the street with rifles, holding high flags with Shandong homemade words in their hands. The leader was the Zou family's hospital guards, and most of these young men were servants of the Zou family.

As the provincial capital, Jinan has been enjoying peace days for many years. Seeing this scene, most citizens have a certainty in their hearts and are about to have a big mess.

The Zou family, Liu family, Meng family... all the armed guards from the homes of ten wealthy families in Jinan entered the city. Until this time, they showed their full strength. The powerful families joined forces and mobilized more than two thousand people, which could be made up two standards.

Although the weapons are of different lengths and some people are equipped with cold weapons such as darts, their momentum is already very impressive. Moreover, there are a large number of light weapons in the warehouses in Jinan. As long as you open the arsenal, you can extract weapons, armed teams and vassal warehouses, and there are also large sums of silver, enough to pay military pay.

The first team to arrive at the arsenal was a team of the Liujia Guards. As a local tycoon in Shandong, the Liu family had a large area and a large population, and had a large number of fertile land in their homes. When Shandong built the railway and received a large amount of land acquisition compensation, he became a newly emerging businessman in Shandong. The strongest in his hands, the number of expanded guards reached 800, most of whom had participated in the militia training in Shandong and had basic military qualities. The only thing they lacked was equipment.

After all, with the financial resources of the Liu family, it is impossible to equip 800 people with fast guns. Among them, there are no more than 60 people with foreign guns, and the remaining ones are equipped with fuse ropes or fire door guns, and even various types of muskets. More people use big swords and spears as weapons.

They value the most the arsenal. As long as they master the arsenal and have arms, they will have strength. In the next competition between Shandong forces, their own family can gain more power.

But when they came to the arsenal outside the arsenal excitedly, more than one hundred armed foreign soldiers were waiting for them. These soldiers built barricades and had extremely strict defenses. In the team, there were even two two-pound cannons, which was daunting.

The captain of the Liu family who led the team would speak foreign language, but he was not very skilled. Fortunately, the foreigners and soldiers spoke heroic words and communicated without any hindrance.

"We are employed by Huabi Bank to accept assignments and protect bank property. Shandong Arsenal has long owed Huabi Bank's loans and agreed to use products as collateral. These collaterals have no right to move them before repaying Huabi Bank's loans, otherwise they will be considered robbery."

Although the foreigners have few troops, more than one hundred foreigners are still a terrifying force for China, which has experienced boxing chaos. The captain of the Liu family did not dare to bear the responsibility of being in a row with the foreigners. Although his strength was twice as strong as that of the foreigners, he did not dare to use force, so he had to order his subordinates and say, "Go quickly, send a letter to the master, please make an idea."

In addition to the vassal treasury, the town gate of the Iron General of the Taisi was also in charge. Reinstein personally sneered, "Who dares to rob the property of Huabi Bank is the enemy of our mercenary group. Salted fish, if you are ready to bear the anger of the mercenary group, you can try it."

In addition to Siheng Bank, the guard was actually a whistle of Jia Maoqing's original target. The whistleman held a pistol and pressed the head of the civilian army leader who came to Siheng to seize the vault. "Siheng helped our fifth town and the second team to jointly organize the grain station. We all have a life-long friendship. Today I want to see who is so fucked by the courage to make the idea. Whoever dares to come will break him!"
