Chapter 798: Feng Huanzhang's Expedition
Amid the shouts and cheers, the five-color military flag was inserted into the wall, and the excited officer and general's cap were shaking in his hands. The high walls and thick walls of swordsmen were enough to resist the swordsmen, and were vulnerable in front of the well-trained regular army. A pair of straw sandals stepped on the hot patio barefoot on the sun-dried hot patio, awakening the deep dream.
Feng Huanzhang achieved remarkable results in military training in Guanzhong. The Shaanxi Army, which has always been famous for its blood and courage but is undisciplined, has become more and more like a regular army under his training. Whether it is the coordination of infantry and artillery, or the attack of cities and villages, they all show great abilities. Although it is said that there are dozens of fast guns, hundreds of farmers, and the owner of the Tian family have also held a regiment training, which is also vulnerable in front of the regular army.
The gate of the courtyard opened and the guards collapsed. The excited soldiers began to enjoy the fruits of victory.
"Report to the commander, this coward has more than 300 stones of food and a few pigs in his family. Brothers can have a full meal." As the main general of this attack, Zhang Tingmo, the beloved general under Feng Huanzhang, excitedly returned that for this army, the most important material at the moment is food. Nothing can make people feel happy like a full meal.
Hu Yunyi on the other side smiled proudly and said, "How is the news in our mountain has never been bad. If there is no food, there must be no food. However, this Guako has a relationship with Shandong. If it weren't for Zhang Shuai, others wouldn't dare to mess with him."
Although Hu Yunyi had betrayed Feng Huanzhang, this incident has become a thing of the past and both parties involved will not mention it tacitly. On the ground of Guanzhong, the most powerful thing is Huidang Mountain Hall. If you want to survive and develop here, you must abide by the rules of the game here. As Feng Huanzhang's magnanimous reward, when he was against Chen's uprising, the swordsmen responded in groups, and Chen Fan's orders failed and was expelled from the province.
After that, whether it is recruiting troops or implementing correct strategies, it is inseparable from the strong support of these Green Forest heroes. Therefore, Hu Yunyi has not become a prisoner, but is Feng Huanzhang's right-hand man.
Feng Huanzhang rode on the horse without saying a word. He also knew that this big family not only stored food privately, but also secretly sold a batch of food to Shandong in the most difficult stage of grain in Shaanxi to support Shandong in order to fight against the main palace. From this behavior, it can be concluded that his relationship with Shandong is very small. If he touched him, he would inevitably offend the Lu army. However, after touching his pocket, there was only a dozen oceans left. Looking at the soldiers' pale and thin appearance, Feng Huanzhang knew that he had no other choice.
The owner of this village was caught by a large tie. He was injured, but he still had the toughness of a Guanzhong man and refused to give in. He looked at Feng Huanzhang coldly.
"Master, I don't understand, what crime did we commit? Why did we shoot again and search the house? Is there any law of the king?"
Feng Huanzhang said: "You have been a soldier, so naturally you know that obedience is the principle of being a natural duty. Feng has issued a notice that in order to ensure the stability of the grain prices in Shaanxi, no one can save a stone of grain. I don't need to say much more about how much grain you have in your family, right? Not to mention this, who allowed you to sell grain to Shandong privately? All the grain and fodder in Shaanxi are military supplies. Anyone who dares to sell it to the public privately is a death sentence! Do you dare to say that you are not guilty?"
The man also became angry and struggled violently. Because he was full and strong, he actually threw away the two soldiers holding him away.
"We followed Guan Shuai to beat Bailang and Guo Jian. The swordsmen and bandits beat you so much, and I have never seen you as evil as you. The food in my family is mine, why should I serve it with both hands? Use white food to exchange for your worthless money savings? Who would you like? I have sold food, and I sold it to my fellow village party. What kind of law did you violate? Why don't I be allowed to sell my own food!"
"Your own food? Every grain of food belongs to the wealth of Shaanxi Province and has no right to dominate it privately. In order to ensure food security, Shaanxi has implemented a supply system. If you destroy supply and sell food privately, it is a death sentence. Even if you try to fight against the collection of food by force, it is even more of a crime. Besides, where did the guns in your house come from?"
"Let me tell you, my two girls are both married to Shandong. Two brother-in-laws, one is the battalion commander and the other is the regiment deputy. Is it a gun? It's the betrothal gift given by my two brother-in-law. Why? If you are not convinced, go to Guanshuai to sue and see if you win or not!"
Feng Huanzhang snorted coldly: "I know, you relied on your followers to fight Guo Jian and have the in-laws of Lu Jun, and you are arrogant and despised the main palace. Today, I will let you know who this Shaanxi is. People! Pull him down and rectify the Dharma on the spot! Shaanxi adheres to the principle of treating all the same things. No matter what his identity is, he has no right to eat one or two grains! Our soldiers in Guanzhong are starving, but these old wealthy people eat red faces. This is a death sentence! Execution!"
The soldier pulled his master to the side. Liu Hua Zhenti, who surrendered from the Zhensong Army, immediately stepped forward, "Master, think twice... We are still in contact with Shandong and want to cooperate with the Zhilu coalition forces to fight for the Duan. Now we have killed the relatives of Shandong soldiers and cooperate with them..."
"It's okay, I believe that Guan Shuai is a sensible person. He should know my difficulties. I am the governor of Shaanxi, and the people are my people. How could Feng be willing to see them starve? But God is against us, and the whole province is in trouble. What can I do? 50,000 Shaanxi soldiers, if they want to eat and drink, if they don't implement food control, they will starve to death. Mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness will not save money. In the future, the food shortage in Shaanxi will be resolved. I will erect a monument to the owner of this family and bow to his monument to apologize. But now, I can only use other people's heads to concentrate all the food they can get and feed my subordinates. If Guan Shuai is willing to support a batch of food, I will of course be willing to stop my current actions, but before the food arrives, I have no choice."
Hu Yunyi said: "Many old wealthy people have already found ways to escape. Brothers go and chase, but not all of them can catch up. Especially some people live in provinces, and they can escape into neighboring provinces..."
"That must be recovered. Even if people do not come back, the property must be recovered. If necessary, they can be pursued across provinces." Feng Huanzhang decisively issued an order, "These landlords exploit the people to make themselves rich, and their property is all the people's wealth and cannot be owned by them. Anyone who leaves the province without any land will return to the public and farm for the people without land. In addition, they require neighboring provinces not to shelter me from Shaanxi, otherwise, I will take my brothers to reason with them!"
His wife, who firmly believed in Christ, had a fierce quarrel with him because of the food problem of the Red Cross. Feng Huanzhang has always respected his wife very much, but this time, he was not ready to give in.
Only he himself knew how difficult the financial situation in Shaanxi is now. The work of surrounding Shandong Province was not smooth. Shaanxi's grassroots was infiltrated by Shandong. Before his seizure work was carried out, real money was taken away. The rest were worthless junk. Some factories did not dare to move, and some dared to move, but there was no profit. Shaanxi's finance has declared bankruptcy.
There is only a deficit on the books, and there are less than twenty oceans in your pocket except for the unworthy money savings. Even if Feng Huanzhang led his troops to the point of using the word "poverty" as the essence, so that the soldiers would not see the money to avoid them from escaping, it would be difficult to maintain the troops.
It is necessary to get money. Looking at the soldiers who transported oceans and food from the earthen encirclement, Feng Huanzhang thought so. At present, Zhilu formed a coalition force, publicly opposed Duan, and refused to recognize the legal system of Xu Juren. He was ready to fight, and the situation was about to reach the point, and the position of the Shaanxi Army became crucial.
Both sides believed that they either went to Zhao or surrendered to Duan... Did they both forgot that there was still Mr. Sun in the world? And forgot, who created the Communist Party?
Maybe they really forgot. Since the former Jin abdication, the entire country has become a bull monster. Whether it is a general from Beiyang or a comrade who once made a vow to establish a private country, everyone wants to be an emperor who does not wear dragon robes. It is someone who stands up and helps them recall that some people once lost their money and sacrificed their blood for this country. The country they want is not a monster like today. Feng Huanzhang is not a bargaining chip, but a player.
Several special envoys from the Gonghe Zhengfu have arrived. Xu Youzheng had contacted Feng Huanzhang a long time ago. It was after receiving the promise of Shaanxi to always support the official and reaching the intention to use martial arts in Shandong that Xu Youzheng dared to be unscrupulous.
In the current situation in the northwest, Sun Xinyuan is nominally the leader of several northwest provinces, but in fact, he is not very good at the actual control of several northwest provinces. With this Duan and Zhao dispute, Sun Xinyuan seems to want to make a difference, and at least eliminate some dissidents. He publicly declared his support for the main palace, condemned the separatist behavior of the Zhilu Alliance, and formed three cavalry divisions, ready to assist the main palace in combat at any time.
As his nominal subordinate, Feng Huanzhang knew very well the quality of the three cavalry divisions. They were all local tyrants in Gansu, Qinghai, and the temporary troops formed by the landlords and sects, and their subordinates were nominally organized by three divisions, and the actual number was not good. The equipment was inferior and the discipline was not disciplined. Wherever they went, they either robbed or killed or set fire. Even Xu Youzheng did not expect that those troops could play a big role. The Shaanxi Army that he could really come in hand was the one who trained himself.
However, because of this, Feng Huanzhang is not in a hurry to express his support for anyone. He has to wait for a price that is enough to make his heart move before he can make a decision.
Just as Xu Youzheng needed himself, Shandong also needed the support of the Shaanxi army. He used direct Lu to resist the north, and was obviously alone and lonely. He believed that as long as he was willing to send troops to aid Shandong, whether it was to capture merchants or kill a few landlords and gentry who had in-laws with Shandong, Zhao Guanhou would not be really angry.
Not only that, he also had to ask Shandong for some materials, funds, food, weapons and ammunition. Only by replenishing these materials can the Shaanxi army make a difference. After a series of wars in Shaanxi, it is no longer a place to raise troops. It must be fought out to have a living space.
When the sun just set, Feng Huanzhang, who was eating a big pot with the soldiers, suddenly got news that the envoy from the capital came again. This time, the person who came was also a comrade-in-arms who had once raised an army in Luan County, was considered an old acquaintance. He had a lot of personal relationships. When he saw Feng Huanzhang's food, he frowned.
"Huanzhang, why are you a governor of the province eating this? This time, I will follow Duan Weng and eat well and have a few comfortable days. Shaanxi is poor and the people are weak, and it is difficult to raise soldiers. Look, what did I bring to you?"
What he held was a letter of appointment signed by Duan Zhiquan, appointed by Duan Zhiquan and approved by the cabinet. Feng Yuzhang was specially appointed as the governor of Henan. Zhao Tang, the former governor of Henan, was dismissed from office on the spot and handed over to the Military Law Department for the crime.
"Zhao Tang refused to be loyal to the General Secretary in Henan, and colluded with grain merchants to steal grain and rice. This behavior is equivalent to the enemy, so the General Secretary has ordered the disarming of the Hongwu Army and to investigate Zhao's responsibility. This time, we will solve the Shandong problem not to grab territory, but to unify the country. The general manager will take charge of the general manager with both moral integrity and talent. The general manager has always praised the ethics of a kind brother. Xu Jun, the governor of Henan, is a sign of great use. Brothers should make decisions early and not miss themselves, and the timing does not wait for others. There are many people who are interested in this position now. If they delay, they must be prevented from changing."
Feng Huanzhang didn't say anything, but only sneered in his heart: I was on the power to fight against the war in Wuxue, Duan Zhiquan hated me to the core. If the situation was not good, how could I open the mansion in Luoyang? He asked: "Brother, we are always in love, don't coax me with lies. Let me ask you, what is the military situation in the mansion now?"
"We are in the main palace to attack the disobedience, and the people's hearts are in their hearts. Everyone in all directions is willing to send troops to serve the king and fight against the traitors. It is not to be hiding from it. The 27th and 28th divisions of the Feng army are preparing to cross Shanhaiguan and enter Beijing. Yan Yishan, Shanxi, the army willing to conquer the thieves from Niangziguan. Anhui uses the third division and one brigade to deploy troops to Bengbu and hunt Xuzhou. Zhang Shaoshuai came out of the mountain again and issued a statement in the capital, calling on the old subordinates to Xuzhou. Xuzhou will soon be in chaos. The Sichuan army of 100,000 will be in command with Wang Jiling, and will personally arrive in Yichang.
, aiming at Wuchang, Wu Xinshuai was in charge of Songjiang, cooperated with Jiangsu, and looked at the southeast. Luo Chongxuan, Hunan, and Wu Xintian, the former commander of the Lu army, sent a telegram to rebel against Lu. He thought that the two lakes were no longer owned by the Lu army. Zhilu rebelled against the enemy on all sides and was defeated without fighting. The frontal border guards and the escort troops of the capital also had more than ten divisions, and the frontal battlefield was also a situation where Mount Tai was pressed down. General Feng led his troops to Henan, and was in line with the situation of siege on all sides. How could the Lu army be invincible?"
Feng Huanzhang said: "So that's it? Sure enough, the people's will be unstoppable. Feng knew it in his heart and let me think twice."
After killing the envoy, he went straight to the prayer room in the army, prayed for half an hour under the cross, and got up and wrote two telegrams. One was to go to Shandong and expressed his willingness to help Zhao Guanhou, but at present, the military pay and equipment in Shaanxi were both scarce, and the military food was not enough. I hope that the Lu army could supply some military food and equipment. The Shaanxi army would have to kill and be loyal to death.
Another telegram went to the capital to ask about the supply issues and command rights issues after the Shaanxi army entered Henan. In addition, it was pointed out that the country is poor and the people are in poverty. The Yuan family in Henan used the act of stealing the country and owning tens of millions of property, but none of them benefited the country. He supervised himself to deal with the Yuan family's property.
Soon, a telegram was returned in the capital. Duan Zhiquan signed a telegram, promising to hand over the first and second two mixed brigades of the border guards to Feng Huanzhang for command. In addition, the Henan Governor's property in Henan was properly handled without asking the official government. In addition, Shanxi will assist the Shaanxi army in the Shaanxi army to form mutual protection of the Shanxi and Shaanxi to jointly restrain the Lu army.
In contrast, Shandong's response was slow and cold, and Zhao Guanhou's reply only said in one sentence: Stop illegally plundering private property in Shaanxi and hand over all the Hong Kong rice and grain detained, otherwise it will be severely punished.
Two telegrams were placed in front of the high-level Shaanxi Army. Feng Huanzhang's face was gloomy, "The person is harmless and the tiger is heartbroken. The face of the Shaanxi Army cannot be used as a P stock. In the past few years, Shandong has poached people from Shaanxi and poached many talented people in Guanzhong! I respect him, Zhao Guanshuai is a character, and if he doesn't touch him, he will in turn underestimate us. I think we have no other choice."
Jing Yue, the brother of the devil clan of Jingxia, nodded and said, "The revenge of killing brother is irreconcilable. I am about to collect blood debt from the Lu army. Please give orders from the general!"
Hu Yunyi was more direct, "Shandong is a model province for joint cooperation and the world's wealth. I heard that Shandong's warehouses are full of rice, and it is still selling grain at a low price. If you open Shandong, you won't have to go hungry. Guanzhong is poor and the people are not a place for heroes to use their skills. If you go to Henan and then enter Shandong, we may be able to live the president's addiction!"
"Fight Shandong!"
"Enter Shandong!"
Everyone here shouted in unison, Feng Huanzhang nodded and said, "Since everyone supports us, we will make up our minds to fight with Shandong. But before that, I have to send someone to Shanxi to ask for food and salary from Yan Laoxi, so that my brothers can't fight on hunger! I heard that he set up an arsenal in Taiyuan, and if there are guns and cannons, he would also have to build a batch."
Yan Yishan's Shanxi merchants were very particular, and it was not so easy to get food and wages from him. But soon, he had no choice but to cooperate actively. The two sides who were originally confrontation suddenly had a conflict due to the issue of Henan Governor. There was no smoke of gunpowder in the capital, and gunshots in the Central Plains were sounded. A telegram signed by Zhao Guanhou was reprinted in newspapers of all sizes and big and small.
