"We want military salaries", "We want to eat", "Outside the headquarters of the Han Kwantung New Army, I don't know how many soldiers gathered here during the training time, all shouting with their voices raised.In the headquarters, Zhang Chunsheng and his subordinate army commanders urgently discussed countermeasures.There was a room full of generals sitting in the room, all whispering with different expressions.Although Zhang Zhidong was the commander of the First Army, important combat training was still conducted by Zhang Chunsheng and a large group of his brothers."
What the hell is going on, isn't it the end of the month when the military salary is paid, why has it changed this month" Zhang Chunsheng slapped the table and shouted, his face distorted with frustration.After the resolution of the Shanhaiguan on the same day, Zhang Chunsheng finally chose to stick to his loyalty.Knowing that it is a dead end, he also has to take his brothers to break through to repay Zhang Zhidong's kindness.However, the army was about to be dispatched, but the imperial court chose to cut off the military salary at this time, and the other armies were sent down in a lot of money."
Big brother, the imperial court said that there is a shortage of silver in the treasury this month, and we will drag down our military salary on the 15th and then issue it" The officer in charge of military supplies got up and replied in a low manner, his face full of helplessness."
Why do other armies have it, but we don't have the Green Camp Army, the Eight Banner Army, the two armies that are full of food and have nothing to do, every time we are indispensable, but we can't pay the military salary when we go out, how can I explain to the brothers outside" Zhang Chunsheng's face was flushed, his fingers were clenched, and his forehead was full of green tendons."
Big brother, the court is really bullying people too much, isn't this obviously bullying us, just against his mother, let's pull the team back to Jiushan and Eighteen Villages.Brothers, eat meat in large chunks and drink wine in big bowls, where can there be such a bag in the future" Deng Qinghu, the commander of the right army, stared at him like a copper bell, and directly wanted to pick a son and quit."
Anti-fucking, anti-fucking" The generals in the room were all Zhang Chunsheng's cronies, and they all followed Deng Qinghu and raised their arms and shouted."
Deng Qinghu, you close your mouth, don't you think it's messy enough here" Zhang Chunsheng glared at Deng Qinghu, waited for the room to be quiet, and reminded in a deep voice, "This kind of rebellious words will have to be mentioned again in the future, if the news leaks, our brothers will immediately move their heads The strength of the Qing army is different from the past, and the Manchu Kwantung New Army and the Protector Army alone can easily exterminate us."
Don't forget, among the three new armies, only we have the worst weapons and equipment" The generals were all silent, they all followed the thief ship, and now getting off the ship is a dead end."
Big brother, don't you think this matter is very strange" Only Zhang Chunping kept silent in the lobby, and when everyone was silent, he asked with a frown."
What do you mean" Zhang Chunsheng lit a cigarette and took a puff, looking at this thoughtful brother with a cold face."
This is someone forcing us to rebel" Zhang Chunping only spit out a sentence indifferently, which immediately shocked all the generals in the room."
What do you mean by this" Zhang Chunsheng stared at Zhang Chunping with a serious face, and his heart felt a little stunned for a while, but he was still a little hot."
Big brother, think about it.Since Zhang Zhidong took over as commander again, the imperial court first inexplicably let us go south alone, and now inexplicably dragged out military salaries.The only purpose is to force us to rebel, and then use this incident to overthrow Zhang Zhidong and re-let the Manchus control the military power" Zhang Chunping reminded him simply, like a spiritual spring poured into the hearts of the generals.Everyone thought about it carefully, and it really made sense."
Yes, this matter is definitely not an isolated incident, and it is too chilling for the imperial court to do this," the commander of the Chinese army, Liu Heishan, nodded in agreement, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.The room was silent, and all the generals focused their eyes on Zhang Chunsheng, waiting for his choice.Each of them is an old fritter, and they all understand that if they want to eat peacefully, it seems that it is impossible not to dissociate themselves from Zhang Zhidong now."
You go down first to appease the brothers, and say that I will personally go to the commander to intercede, and ask everyone to wait a few days later, and the military salary will definitely be paid" Zhang Chunsheng is a righteous person, and he doesn't want to betray brotherhood for the sake of profit.He and Zhang Zhidong formed a Jinlan alliance with blood.That vow is still engraved in my heart, not to be born on the same day in the same year, but to die in the same year and month.If getting rid of Zhang Zhidong could save himself, he would rather go first.Prince Gong's Mansion, the three royal upstarts gathered together again to discuss matters.Prince Gong and Prince Qing were playing Go against each other, and Prince Alcohol was watching quietly.The housekeeper in the house hurriedly whispered in Yi Xin's ear, and after retreating, Yi Xin laughed with a bright eye, "Our plan has taken effect, the Han Kwantung New Army is making trouble, let's see how Zhang Zhidong handles this matter, he can't pay money, and this guy can still work hard for him" "Who said no, the Han people and us have never been of the same mind."
Either you don't do it, or you will kill the dog slave in Zhang Zhidong.We are full of people, and we have to be full of people to recapture when our ancestors entered the customs, the Han people are not even dogs, and we have not taken the world in the same way" Prince Yiyun also made a knife-like gesture with his hand with a fierce face, and his face was full of pride."
The Queen Mother always wants to use the Han people to restrain us, and she doesn't want to think about it, at the critical moment, our own family is still relying on it, this time let our little sister-in-law see whether these Han people are loyal and patriotic loyal ministers and good generals, or sanctimonious hypocrites" Prince Qing Yixuan also sneered at the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, playing with chess pieces in his hands, his eyes were only staring at expectation, and he liked this right to turn his hands over for clouds and cover his hands for rain."
This is the two-step flag, and then we have to make the third move.This chess piece falls, it depends on whether Zhang Zhidong has a way to live" Prince Gong lightly dropped the black chess, and Prince Qing's white chess really had no way out."
Good chess, good chess or the sixth brother's chess is a good hand, the younger brother sincerely admires" Prince Qing looked left and right, and finally laughed and clenched his fists and admitted defeat.The three brothers laughed at the same time, and after sending someone to give them orders, they waited for a good show to be staged.Zhang Zhidong's mansion, a general dressed as a Han Chinese Kwantung New Army, handed over a list to Zhang Zhidong.With a whisper in his ear, he slowly retreated from the room with his fists clenched.Zhang Zhidong's face was pale, and he sat in place with the list in his hand, not moving for a long time."
Report, my lord Zhang Chunsheng is asking to see you outside the door," the housekeeper in the house said in a long voice outside the door."
Let him in," Zhang Zhidong flipped the list on the table and whispered to the door."
Yes, my lord," the butler replied loudly, turned around and went out and took Zhang Chunsheng into Zhang Zhidong's study."
My lord, something is wrong, the soldiers are surrounding our headquarters, clamoring for military salaries, you can think of a way" As soon as Zhang Chunsheng entered the room, he hugged his fists and bowed to Zhang Zhidong for help."
Chunsheng, I know all about this, you sit down first" Zhang Zhidong waved his hand to Zhang Chunsheng with a low face, and asked the maid outside the door to make another bowl of tea."
Chunsheng, when I first entered Kanto, I was weak.He only has a letter of appointment from the imperial court to develop the Kanto region, and he is completely a bare-bones commander.You and I were like-minded and became brothers, and it was only after that we carved out a world in the Kanto region.Do you remember the oath of the day" Zhang Zhidong sipped the tea, and asked Zhang Chunsheng sadly without raising his head."
Of course, I have never forgotten that I, Zhang Chunsheng, and Zhang Zhidong's eldest brother married Jin Lan today, not seeking to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to die in the same month and year in the same year.If this oath is violated, people and gods will be angry, and heaven and earth will be destroyed" Zhang Chunsheng repeated the oath for unknown reasons, looking at Zhang Zhidong with doubts on his face, not knowing what he wanted to say."
I don't want to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but I want to die in the same year and month, Zhang Zhidong can make a brother like you in this life, and it can be regarded as a third life, and the eldest brother is fortunate to replace the wine with tea, toast you with a cup" Zhang Zhidong smiled bitterly, picked up the tea bowl and signaled to Zhang Chunsheng, and took a big sip."
Big brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, you know that brother doesn't like to go around the bend.Zhang Chunsheng also picked up the tea bowl and saluted Zhang Zhidong, and couldn't help but ask anymore."
Chunsheng, why is it so difficult for you to say that you want to do something for the court and the country" Zhang Zhidong's voice choked, and his grief and indignation were overflowing.He directly instructed the maid to serve the Daquanyuan wine in the northeast and poured a large bowl of wine into his stomach.He usually doesn't drink a drop of wine, but at this time, he choked on tears because of the spicy taste."
Big brother, it's all mediocre in the court, listen to the slander, as long as you say a word, your brother will follow you against him" Zhang Chunsheng also took a sip of the wine bowl with a proud face, as if he had returned to the era of the Wuthering Mountains and Forests.After staying in the official army for a long time, my heart has become depressed.Zhang Zhidong hissed a bitter laugh on his face, the voice was miserable and tragic, and it took a long time to calm down."
Chunsheng, Chunsheng, you're not just against the court" Zhang Zhidong's voice suddenly became cold, and his eyes stared at Zhang Chunsheng sternly."
Big brother, what do you mean by this" Zhang Chunsheng suddenly heard the meaning of the words, and his heart chuckled."
What do you mean, I should ask you," Zhang Zhidong frowned, and coldly threw the letter on the table on the ground with a flick of his sleeve.Zhang Chunsheng picked up the stationery on the ground, only glanced at it, and his face turned red."
Big brother and brother treat you with all your heart, you actually sent someone to spy on me" Zhang Chunsheng looked at Zhang Zhidong incredulously, holding the letter paper tightly in his hand, and his whole body had begun to tremble with excitement.This letter is full of Zhang Chunsheng and his subordinates' conspired words, whose name is what, who said what, who is what identity, all of which are recorded word for word."
Brother, is this how my brother treats his eldest brother, is my brother just preparing to resist the decree and disrespect him, and plot to rebel and frame his eldest brother Yu Injustice" Zhang Zhidong slapped the table and shouted angrily, his eyes were full of pain, and the green tendons on his hands were exposed
