Chen Zikun frowned: "You negotiate terms with me."
The commander-in-chief, who held a large number of troops, was not angry and proud.
He frightened Cheng Ziqing with a slight frown and said quickly: "How dare I negotiate terms with you?
Isn't this asking you?
Compared with you, Zhang Xiaolin is just a scoundrel."
"If you want to kill him, it's just a matter of words, but there is no point in killing him.
You are a commander, and you don't need to kill a gangster to establish your authority.
Instead, you will lose a lot of money."
Chen Zikun's heart moved, Sanxin Company was making a lot of money every day, and it was the time to kill Zhang Xiaolin with a knife.
However, as a commander, it was inconvenient to talk to Cheng Ziqing about these things, so he just said lightly: "Okay, I understand. " "Thank you, Marshal Chen."
Cheng Ziqing knew that something was going on, so he nodded and said, "Without further ado, please send a few people to me, and I will take them to arrest Xu Shuzheng."
Chen Zikun said: "Xu Shuzheng is a Beiyang giant, former deputy secretary of the army, my old commander, how can I arrest him?
I will personally pay him a visit."
Cheng Ziqing said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, let's go pay a visit to Deputy Chief Xu."
The public concession is the territory of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Cheng Ziqing is a patrolman in the French concession and has no authority to cross the border to enforce the law.
Chen Zikun is even less likely to openly lead troops in.
They all changed into civilian clothes and took a car to enter the public concession through Nanshi.
Nanshi has become a battlefield, with barricades and trenches everywhere.
The Zhejiang army is fighting against the enemy, and the citizens of Shanghai have also suffered.
Large numbers of people have poured into the concession, and the entrance has been blocked.
Cars, rickshaws, and people carrying large burdens and small luggage The patrolmen blew their sirens and beat them everywhere with long bamboo poles, trying to maintain order.
When Cheng Ziqing saw the formation, he took a breath: "How can there be so many people?"
He got out of the car and pushed his way to find the police officer on duty at the sentry post.
He showed his name.
The French Concession patrol officer Cheng Heipi's name was compared with that of the police officer on duty.
It's okay, sir.
The officer immediately sent two Hua arresters over and used their batons to create a path for Chen Zikun's car to enter.
According to the rules, they were supposed to search to see if there were any weapons or the like, but because of Inspector Cheng's face, they didn't have to. .
Chen Zikun entered the concession with only three guards.
Cheng Ziqing volunteered, saying that he could summon brothers No. 100 just by gossiping.
Chen Zikun smiled lightly: "I have someone."
The car stopped at the front interface, and a young man wearing glasses and carrying a violin case got into the car.
Although he deliberately disguised himself as a musician, Liang Maocai's gangster spirit could not be concealed.
Of course, it is the Thompson portable machine gun.
Without saying a word, he went straight to No. 18 Nanyang Street, where Xu Shuzheng was hiding.
He was very alert and was afraid of being assassinated by the enemy, so he lived on the territory of foreigners.
However, he never dreamed that it would be foreigners who would deal with him this time.
Cheng Ziqing's intelligence said that there were at least four bodyguards with guns in the mansion, but in Liang Maocai's eyes, these people were like chickens and dogs.
He picked up the violin case and got out of the car, went straight in, and then everyone heard a burst of There was a blast of gunfire, and five minutes later, there was a familiar whistle from upstairs, and it was done.
Chen Zikun got out of the car calmly and entered the mansion.
There were two corpses lying at the gate, one person and one dog.
Going further inside, there were dead people lying in the living room and on the stairs.
At the door of the study upstairs, Liang Maocai was holding Thompson with the smoke curling up.
After changing the drum, there was a person sitting behind the desk in the room.

He was as majestic and steady as Mount Tai.
It was Xu Shuzheng, the former Beiyang giant.
"You all go out."
Chen Zikun said, entered the room, took off his hat and bowed: "Secretary Xu, Chen Zikun wishes you well."
Xu Shuzheng said: "I haven't seen you for four years.
When Wu Ziyu first entered Beijing, you were still a lieutenant.
Now you are a commander-in-chief.
Not bad, not bad.
The hope of Beiyang lies in you."
Chen Zikun said: "Secretary Xu is so ridiculous.
I am just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse."
Xu Shuzheng said: "When you came to visit me, why didn't you make an appointment in advance?
As a result, everyone below was fighting against each other, and several lives were lost in vain."
Chen Zikun smiled and said, "If I make an appointment, I won't be able to see you."
Xu Shuzheng laughed loudly: "Am I, Mr.
Xu, that kind of timid person?"
Seeing his calm and relaxed look, Chen Zikun knew that Xu Shuzheng was waiting for reinforcements, so he said: "Don't wait, no one will come from the concession patrol room."
Xu Shuzheng was silent for a while and said: "The concession authorities tacitly allowed you to come and arrest me."
Chen Zikun nodded: "The foreigners don't want to fight.
They finally drove Lu Yongxiang away, but you jumped out to make trouble again.
The foreigners don't agree, and neither do we.
I'm here to persuade you to stop fighting."
"Make trouble, stir up trouble."
Xu Shuzheng had a strange expression and muttered, "Isn't everything I did for Beiyang, for the country, and for the nation?
Cao Kun bribed the president and everyone got it and punished him.
Is it possible for such a stupid government?
Shouldn’t it be overthrown?”
Chen Zikun couldn't help but retorted: "You formed the Anfu Club to support a group of congressmen to manipulate the Congress.
You are just trying to compete with President Cao.
Xu, stop it.
The people can't stand the torment anymore."
Xu Shuzheng sighed: "What are you going to do with me?"
Chen Zikun said: "You are a hero of the country in regaining Mongolia.
You are a veteran of Beiyang and my senior.
How can I dare to deal with you?
Let's do this.
You can live here quietly and read books and newspapers.
We will take care of the things outside."
Just let these juniors handle it.”
Xu Shuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved.
Chen Zikun said: "Excuse me, please rest."
He picked up his hat and stood up to leave.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Secretary Xu, your time has passed.
It's better to calm down.
Don't let me encounter you again making trouble and harming the country." , I’m not as polite as I am today.”

After saying that, he walked away.
Xu Shuzheng sat blankly.
After a while, he picked up the phone and shook it a few times.
There was no sound in the receiver and the phone line was cut off.
When he walked to the balcony, he saw that there were plainclothes armed officers patrolling below. , he has been placed under house arrest.
The news that Xu Shuzheng was under house arrest by the concession authorities spread outside.
The Zhejiang Army once again lost its backbone, and its morale was low to the freezing point.
From top to bottom, they were unwilling to fight anymore.
They sent representatives to negotiate with Qi Sunchen, and the two sides agreed to a ceasefire.
The Zhejiang Army They immediately put down their weapons and accepted the reorganization.
Except for Ma, a former Fujian soldier who asked to be incorporated by Qi Xieyuan because of his old enmity with Sun Chuanfang, most of the Zhejiang army was annexed by Sun Chuanfang.
Recruiting surrendered troops and taking over Shanghai, all work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Qi Xieyuan has paid 500,000 yuan in advance for the military expenses he promised to reimburse, and there is still 1.5 million left to be paid in installments.
Chen Zikun is not in a hurry, since he won't give the money anyway.
Qing, he would not withdraw his troops.
Tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were stationed in Songjiang.
Every day they went to the city in groups to buy things, smoke cigarettes and sleep with women.
They spent money not on cash but on military coupons issued by Marshal Chen.
At first, military coupons were only issued in Jiangdong Province with an amount of 1 million.
After the troops entered Shanghai, the cost of marching and fighting increased sharply, and the finances were tight, so more military coupons had to be issued.
This time, it was not the result of the reform of the salt industry's scrapped coupons, but The banknotes were officially printed by the Jiangdong Provincial Government Money Bureau.
They were originally supposed to bear the portrait of Chen Zikun in military uniform, but Marshal Chen was afraid of people spitting on his portrait, so he ordered it to be printed with the God of Wealth instead.
This time, a total of two million military tickets were issued.
So many military tickets flowed into Shanghai through the hands of soldiers, which was tantamount to plundering people's wealth in disguise.
The people were deeply tortured.
Even Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang were filled with emotion.
Xiao Chen He is really too greedy for money, but because of this he relaxes his vigilance towards him.
How ambitious can a person who is as greedy for money as his life be?
Chen Zikun's decision to issue military bills indiscriminately was not a hot-headed decision.
He had carefully considered it.
Jiangdong Province's finances could not support such a huge expenditure.
The tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were originally untrained soldiers.
If they continued to default on their military pay, it would inevitably lead to a mutiny. , it is better to use military coupons to meet urgent needs while the army is in the field.
Anyway, he is not really plundering people's wealth.
He has already thought about who will pay for this huge amount of military coupons.
That is Sanxin Company, a company jointly opened by three tycoons from Shanghai.
The Sanxin Company has a monopoly on the entire opium trade in Shanghai, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making a fortune every day.
Moreover, the Sanxin Company had previously been an enemy of Marshal Chen, robbed his opium, and hunted down his brothers.
This account finally paid off.
It's time to do the reckoning.
Just when Chen Zikun was about to attack Sanxin Company, an urgent telegram from Beijing disrupted his plan.
Wu Peifu sent a telegram to mobilize Chen Zikun and his elite brigade to urgently go north to join the battle.
The fighting in the north was far more intense than the Jiangsu-Zhejiang war.
It is said that after Zhang Zuolin was defeated in the last Zhili-Fengtian war, he angrily dismissed a group of green forest veterans who had been disadvantaged in the battle and replaced them with military academy students who had received modern military education, such as Guo Songling and Zhang Xueliang. , the Fengjun Army reorganized its military force and changed its appearance.
It also imported a large number of advanced weapons such as artillery, aircraft, armored tanks, and its combat effectiveness was far from what it could be compared to two years ago.

The two armies of Zhizhi and Fengcheng fought fiercely at Shanhaiguan for more than a month, with more than 10,000 casualties and tens of thousands of casualties, and they were still at a stalemate.
At this juncture, Wu Peifu dispatched Chen Zikun to go north instead of asking Qi Xieyuan for reinforcements.
This can only explain one problem, that is, Marshal Yu planned to launch a surprise attack on Fengjun. .
When it comes to surprise attacks, only Chen Zikun among the generals in the direct line is the best.
Now that Yushuai has spoken, Chen Zikun has no choice but to take the responsibility and immediately sets off for Beijing without thinking about taking advantage of Sanxin Company.
The overall situation in Shanghai has been decided.
There is no need to worry about being stabbed in the back by Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang, who are both directly affiliated.
Duan Haixiang has Zhang Pengcheng watching over him, so there will be no trouble.
Yan Su has already entered the provincial capital, and Chen Zikun can rest assured that he is in charge.
Chen Zikun planned to take Chen Shou's 7th Mixed Brigade to the north for reinforcements.
However, the entire brigade required a period of preparation whether by rail or ship, so he took the guard and set off by ship first, destined for Tianjin.
The marshal’s trip was an extraordinary occasion.
There were more than a dozen cars in front and behind him.
The police stood on the running boards of the lanes, blowing their sirens with bulging cheeks, and beating the blind beggars with bamboo poles.
Passers-by avoided them one after another and stood silently.
On the roadside, I watched Marshal Chen's motorcade passing by in a show of glory.
Chen Zikun, who was sitting in the car, did not see a slender figure wearing an indanthrine sarong among the crowd on the roadside
