Chapter 12: The Lion Opens His Mouth


When Jin Cichang was sulking, Chen Zikun was still living happily in the hotel of Zaozhuang Zhongxing Coal Mining Company.

Now the situation has been decided.

He only needs to wait for the hostages to be released, hold a celebration meeting on the spot, and then return to Beijing to discuss merits and rewards.

He no longer needs to be involved in the matter of contacting the bandits.

The locals have been dealing with the bandits for more than ten years, so there are naturally many people who can speak.

Besides, now that the situation has been decided, it is time to leave some merit for others.

Opportunity.

Nowadays, the Lincheng area is crowded with dignitaries.

Military and political officials and diplomats from Beijing and Jinan, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce from Shanghai, journalists from all over the country, and respectable gentlemen from Zouxian County, Tengxian County, all gather in this small town.

The hotel rooms have already been The houses of local residents in Lincheng have been requisitioned.

There is even a shortage of various non-staple food items.

In bigger cities, there is no way to provide milk, coffee, bread, butter, etc.

The most is local eggs, freshwater fish from Weishan Lake, local chickens and sheep raised by farmers, etc.

Fortunately, there is a train station in Lincheng, Jinan Prefecture Good things can be delivered in a few hours, so the living standards of foreign adults and officials have not dropped at all.

Busier than the telegraph room is the local post office.

Not everyone can afford to send telegrams, but the cost of sending letters is much lower.

The post office sends and receives countless letters and packages every day, and its business volume has increased more than ten times than before.

Some of them are newspapers and magazines mailed from various places, which diplomats subscribe to, and some local officials order by mail to understand the external situation.

Chen Zikun had nothing to do and read a lot of newspapers and magazines, and accidentally discovered something that shocked him.

In the writings of some left-wing literati in Beijing and Shanghai, the Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army has become synonymous with revolution, and Sun Meiyao is a hero who fought against the great powers and imperialism.

The literati highly praised him and praised him for his liberating the Chinese ticket.

It's really dumbfounding.

There are also some newspapers and magazines that ridiculed the robbery, assuming a stance of staying out of the matter and saying that if Shandong was still under Japanese control, such a vicious incident would never have happened.

The Chinese government lacked management capabilities, and the West forced Japan to withdraw from Shandong. , is to shoot yourself in the foot.

Of course, most newspapers and magazines truthfully reported a series of events that happened in Lincheng from a neutral stance, expressed great concern for the safety of the hostages, and strongly supported the peaceful resolution of the matter.

Regarding the details after going up the mountain, Chen Zikun went to Stilwell to talk in detail alone.

Stilwell told him that the US intelligence agency was pursuing the case.

The majority of the hostages were Americans, followed by Britain, France, Italy and other countries, who often traveled between The Japanese between Jin and Pu did not appear in the hostage list, which has to be suspicious, because the United States is the country that strongly advocates Japan's withdrawal from Qingdao.

It is not known that this move is retaliation for the United States.

However, this turmoil has finally calmed down.

After a few days, when all the hostages come down the mountain, it will be the day of celebration.

By then, Chen Zikun will inevitably be in the limelight again.

No one expected that a shocking incident was brewing behind the calm.

At the foot of Junshan Mountain, in the Sanqing Hall of Chaoyun Temple, the leaders of the Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army were discussing.

The recruitment and security agreement had been reached.

A piece of agreement signed by the local gentry as a guarantee was in the hands of Sun Meiyao, the leader, and 20,000 people surrounded Junshan.

The officers and soldiers have retreated ten miles, so the matter is considered complete.

The minions outside were busy killing pigs and sheep to celebrate the victory.

Sun Meiyao was also beaming with joy and the spring breeze was on his face.

He was only twenty-five years old this year, and he had already completed a magnificent transformation, from a bandit leader to a major general and brigade commander of the army.

How could he not let it go?

He was proud.

The subordinates were also very excited.

The heroes who fell into the grass in Junshan were nothing more than dismissed officers and soldiers, landless hungry people, and they did not have great ambitions.

Being able to become a battalion commander and company commander was already very satisfying to them.

This meeting was held The discussion was nothing more than how to reward brothers.

The establishment of a brigade is fixed.

Sun Meiyao serves as the major general and brigade commander.

There are three regiments below the regiment.

There are battalions below the regiment, and companies below the battalion.

The brigade, regiment, battalion, and company platoons are clearly ranked.

When you become an officer, you can wear military uniforms and riding boots.

Riding a foreign horse, carrying a foreign sword, and carrying a guard The soldiers show off their power and return home in glory, but there are only a few positions of regimental commander and battalion commander.

There are dozens of leaders, large and small, on Junshan.

No one obeys anyone.

As they talk, they inevitably start arguing, and the more the quarrel becomes more fierce, Sun Guizhi looks at it.

He kept shaking his head and sighing.

Although Sun Meiyao is the big boss, he is also praised by everyone.

In terms of prestige, he is much worse than his brother Sun Meizhu, and his brains are even more lacking.

When encountering this kind of thing, he will not be able to suppress it.

He will look at the people below and move.

Guy, he was really angry.

He slapped the table and cursed: "If you keep making noise, I won't be hired."

There was a sudden silence below, and a short bandit stood up and said: "Master, in fact, I can't blame all the masters for this.

There are many heroes in our village, and we only have a brigade establishment.

That's why the government is so miserable."

"Yes, what Second Brother Qiao said makes sense."

Zhuan Shanbao was the first to stand up and respond.

Just now, in order to compete for the position of a battalion commander, he had a red-faced quarrel with another leader and even pulled out a box gun.

The person who was called Brother Qiao was Qiao Erbao, the English translator of Shanzhai.

At this time, he no longer had the humble and simple expression in front of Chen Zikun, but a wise look with a pearl of wisdom in hand.

He first looked at Zuanshan Bao He hugged his fists and said: "Master Bao is wise, let me tell you a story.

This story is called Two peaches kill three soldiers."

The leaders were all illiterate, so they didn't know the allusion of two peaches killing three men.

They all looked at Brother Qiao with ignorant eyes.

Only the old boss, Sun Guizhi, stroked his goatee and nodded secretly.

Brother Qiao cleared his throat and started talking: "In ancient times, there were three warriors in the Qi State.

They were all brave enough to be worthy of all men, but they accidentally offended a minister, so the minister asked the king to design a plan to kill them.

What were they used for?

Just two peaches.”

The bandits looked at him intently, attracted by this story.

Zhuanshan Leopard even asked cooperatively: "Second brother, how can two peaches kill people?"

Brother Qiao said calmly: "Think about it, there are only two peaches, but there are three people.

How can we tell the difference?

That vicious minister said, if you three compete to see who has greater merit, whoever has the greater merit will win."

The three warriors were not convinced that they could eat peaches, so they fought with weapons, and all three of them died."

After hearing this simple story, the leaders couldn't help but lowered their heads and began to ponder.

Zhuanshan Bao suddenly realized it and said: "Now the government recruits us, just to give us two peaches.

Brothers, we have been fooled."

"It's so insidious to have been deceived by the government."

The leaders were filled with indignation and cursed the government's sinister intentions.

Sun Meiyao was also angry.

She suddenly stood up and said, "Damn it, I won't accept you anymore.

Fight them to the end."

Qiao Erbao said: "That's wrong.

Master, we have a good hand and we are afraid that we won't be able to play it out.

If you ask me, I don't blame the government for being insidious, I just blame our small appetite."

Sun Meiyao said: "You are saying that there should be a division establishment."

Qiao Erbao smiled and shook his head: "Master, can it be said that our tens of thousands of brothers in Junshan can be dispatched with just one division?

Even if the government agrees, then Tian Zhongyu will turn his hands to make clouds and rain, and wait for the foreigners to release him.

He must not send troops to suppress us, otherwise it will be all in vain."

"Then it depends on what you want."

Sun Meiyao seemed to understand.

"Let me tell you."

Qiao Erbao sneered, and suddenly walked up to Sun Meiyao's case.

He faced the leaders in the hall and said, "As the old saying goes, if you want to rob the emperor, if you want to rob the emperor, your head will be as big as a bowl."

A scar, but eighteen years later he is a good man again.

After everything has been done, there is nothing you can’t let go of, everyone, please tell me, right?”

As soon as this statement came out, the following people responded unanimously.

Shandong people are bold and bold, and they are also very heroic when they rebel.

They want to rob the emperor and ask for the empress.

This is too popular for everyone.

Qiao Erbao continued: "If you ask me, we will fight to the end and segregate Lunan, and there will be no need for a ridiculous organization of officers and soldiers.

Didn't we call it Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army before?

With the addition of a couplet, it is called Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army.

In the coalition army, the leader is the commander-in-chief, and all the leaders below are the commanders, and the ones below are the division commanders and brigade commanders.

Isn’t it great that the brothers can at least serve as regimental commanders?

" "Yes, what the second brother said is too reasonable.

Anyway, we have the lives of dozens of foreigners in our hands, and we are not afraid that the government will not agree."

"Fuck you, this is the life or death."

The leaders were as excited as chicken blood.

Qiao Erbao successfully aroused their ambitions and desires.

Even Sun Meiyao was greatly moved and felt that the recruitment conditions proposed last time were too low.

Qiao Erbao's prestige increased greatly, and his smile became a little brighter.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it around.

After a pause in his chatter, he continued: "Someone may want to say that if things get serious, Tanaka Yu, this bitch, will be killed."

I'm in a hurry.

What should I do if he jumps over the wall in a hurry?

I already have a countermeasure, that is, pull down the person named Tian."

The people below listened with wide eyes as they listened to what he said.

Qiao Erbao smiled slightly: "My plan is to use the lives of foreigners to force the government to remove Tian Zhongyu from his post and investigate, and replace Teng Zhongyu with someone we can trust as the Shandong governor.

Then Teng County, Zouxian, Yixian, Yanzhou , Jining, Xuzhou, and Weishan Lake.

These places are all under the jurisdiction of our Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Alliance.

We have the coal mines in Zaozhuang and the railway hub in Xuzhou in our hands.

The annual income from these two alone is millions of oceans, which is more than kidnapping.

The money comes much faster."

The leaders' eyes were opened.

Qiao Erbao had planned a wonderful blueprint for them.

If it could come true, the bandits holding Dugu would become dominant warlords.

Originally, they went up to the mountains to settle down and live in peace.

What needs to be considered now is how many concubines to marry, how many hectares of land to buy, and how big of a house to build.

"Ahem, then who will be the governor of Shandong?"

Sun Guizhi, the old leader who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

Qiao Erbao said: "I have already thought about it, Zhang Jingyao is the most suitable.

Many of you are old subordinates recruited by Marshal Zhang, and we all trust each other.

Besides, this is only the first step, there is a second step."

"What's the second step?"

Sun Guizhi was still calm and calm.

"Looking for a backer, a bigger backer.

This time our carjacking has offended the government and the British and American powers badly.

There is only one country that has not been offended before, and that is Japan.

We can find the Japanese as our backers, don't say It's Tanaka Tam, even the president doesn't dare not take the Japanese seriously."

When Qiao Erbao said this, his eyes flickered.

Sun Guizhi's pupils shrank and he said nothing.

Sun Meiyao's eyes widened.

She patted the table and said, "Brother Qiao, I will do as you say."

All the leaders also clamored in agreement, and the meeting finally reached an agreement and ended successfully.

After the meeting, Sun Meiyao found Sun Guizhi and asked humbly: "Uncle, do you think it can be done this way?"

Sun Guizhi sighed and said: "The lion's mouth is wide open, but it will never come true.

We can only take one step at a time."

Suddenly a minion came to report: "Master of the village, Second Master Qiao is here."

"Please."

Sun Meiyao sat upright, while Sun Guizhi sat on a tiger leather chair behind him.

Qiao Erbao was not polite when he came in.

He pulled up a stool and sat down.

He said straight to the point: "I'm here to explain to the boss, the boss, that I'm actually Japanese
