Chapter 217: 216 [Borrowing Soldiers]
Zhou Hexuan was speechless, and quickly stopped Sun Liangcheng and said: "It's fine to chop the rooster and burn the yellow paper. The friendship between brothers is the most important thing, so why care about those details. From now on, you and I will be called brothers."
"That's good," Sun Liangcheng said with a smile on the spur of the moment, "I'm 35 years old, I'm afraid I have to be the elder brother."
"Brother Sun!" Zhou Hexuan said, cupping his hands.
Sun Liangcheng patted Zhou Hexuan on the shoulder and said, "My dear brother, please help elder brother with more ideas in the future."
"That's for sure!" Zhou Hexuan agreed.
How about Sun Liangcheng, who has been a traitor in history and also has a personality. He originally went north to fight against the Japanese, but before the Japanese army came, he was forced by his own people (Tang Enbo) to have no way out, leaving only two options: the United Communist Party and the Japanese.
Sun Liangcheng chose to vote for Japan. He asked Wang Zhaoming for money and food, and successfully expanded his army. He also made a request to the Japanese army, saying that he was determined not to fight the national army, leaving a way out anyway after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Faced with such an outrageous request, the Japanese side actually agreed, even without changing his troop number.
This guy has subtle connections with the Japanese army, Wang Puppets, and Chongqing, and he doesn't make much effort when fighting the Eighth Route. His purpose is only one: to preserve his strength!
——Typical warlord thinking.
Although Zhou Hexuan was commensurate with Brother Sun Liangcheng, it was also an expedient measure, and it was just to use this guy to facilitate things. In the future, if you can persuade him, you can persuade him. If you can't persuade him, as long as this person dares to be a traitor, he will immediately report his severance and draw a clear line with him.
This time, they stayed in Tai'an for three days. While Chunhe Class was organizing a charity performance, Sun Liangcheng also recruited Huang Ziming to Tai'an and appointed him as the head of the Luzhong security regiment.
On the evening of May 23, Sun Liangcheng prepared a farewell banquet for Zhou Hexuan.
When Sun Liangcheng got a little drunk, Zhou Hexuan suddenly said: "Brother, brother, I want to lend you some envoys when I return to Tianjin this time."
"Borrowing soldiers?" Sun Liangcheng's alcohol dissipated most of the time, and he looked at Zhou Hexuan in surprise.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "There are not many soldiers, forty or fifty are enough."
Sun Liangcheng did not refuse, but asked, "What do you want soldiers for?"
Zhou Hexuan played with the wine glass in his hand, and spit out two words: "Kill!"
"Kill who?" Sun Liangcheng was even more surprised.
"Brothers Chu Yupu and Chu Yufeng!" Zhou Hexuan said.
Sun Liangcheng was even more surprised: "Do you have enmity with them?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "Chu Yupu kidnapped me to be his master, made me write novels every day, and treated me like a servant. That's all, a man can bend and stretch, I don't care about small things. But Chu Yufeng sent people to assassinate me, I He and my bodyguard were both shot, this revenge must be avenged!"
Zhou Hexuan instigated Huang Ziming to expand the army and form a security regiment, in fact, to kill Chu Yupu brothers with the help of troops. But now there is a better candidate, he naturally wants to make a decision on Sun Liangcheng.
Sun Liangcheng frowned and said, "Chu Yupu has a heavy army in his hands. How can you bring dozens of people to kill him?"
Zhou Hexuan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The Northern Expeditionary Army is about to encircle Beijing and Tianjin. Chu Yupu must have been defeated and fled. This is a good opportunity to kill him."
Zhou Hexuan smiled calmly, but that smile made Sun Liangcheng's heart shudder.
This scholar is also too vengeful, and he deliberately wants to kill the other party, which is more ruthless than their warlords.
The unspoken rule in the warlord world is that it doesn't matter if the two sides fight to the death, as long as one party electrifies and goes to the field, then any hatred is ignored, and everyone can even sit down and play cards and listen to dramas together.
It is a bad rule to kill everything!
Sun Liangcheng asked, "How do you know where Chu Yupu escaped from?"
"Chu Yupu has property in Tianjin, so he can't leave empty-handed, and he definitely wants to bring his belongings to make a comeback," Zhou Hexuan said with a confident smile, "Once the army is defeated, Chu Yupu will definitely rush back to Tianjin and run away with the money he looted. There won't be too many soldiers around him, and even his concubine can't take care of him, we just need to lay an ambush halfway outside Tianjin City."
Sun Liangcheng remained silent, as if he was considering the pros and cons.
Zhou Hexuan added: "Brother, brother Chu Yupu's silver, you get 60% and I get 40%. I'll help you store it in a foreign company in Tianjin."
Hearing this, Sun Liangcheng's eyes lit up.
Nowadays, as a warlord, no one can tell what will happen to him. Retiring to the concession to become an apartment can be regarded as an excellent way out.
Sun Liangcheng was defeated the year before and defected to the southern government, and since then he has been expanding his army and fighting. He has no savings. Now it is hard to manage Shandong, but there is no chance of corruption at all. Instead, it is devastated all day long for disaster relief.
And Chu Yupu had been the governor of Zhili for two years, not to mention collecting people's fat and anointing, and withholding salt taxes to ruin the Beiyang government's finances. He must have at least one or two million yuan in his hand.
If you can get the money...
Sun Liangcheng suddenly laughed and asked, "My dear brother, are forty or fifty people enough? How about I lend you some more soldiers?"
Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly: "There are too many people to do things. We have to go to Qingdao to take the sea route. Even with this small number of soldiers, we can't bring long guns. It is best for each person to hide a pistol."
Sun Liangcheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask Yun Xiang to accompany you. He was the captain of my pistol team before, and all the soldiers under him can play short guns."
"So, thank you, big brother!" Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said.
"Hahaha, if you have money, let's make money together." Sun Liangcheng couldn't help laughing when he thought of the money.
The next morning, Zhao Yunxiang waited outside the hotel with 50 people. They all pretended to be refugees, and they had all planned their plans. When they arrived in Qingdao, they said they were students who had escaped from Jinan.
"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry!" Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said.
Zhao Yunxiang hurriedly said: "I dare not be. Mr. Zhou, just call me Yunxiang from now on."
Compared with that guy Sun Liangcheng, Zhao Yunxiang is obviously much more pleasing to the eye, at least he looks more handsome.
Although Zhao Yunxiang would also be a traitor in the future, he revolted and joined the New Fourth Army very early. He was the first uprising general in Central China. In the battle in Central Jiangsu, Zhao Yunxiang led his troops to seven battles and seven victories, making great contributions to our party.
Everyone took the train to Qingdao along the Jiaoji line. Although Qingdao was owned by China at this time, all Japanese soldiers were stationed there.
When clearing the customs, the Japanese army saw dozens of young people among Zhou Hexuan and immediately stopped them and asked, "What do you do?"
Zhou Hexuan made an angry look, and replied in Japanese: "I am Zhou Hexuan, the principal of Peking University, and they are all students of Shandong University. You Japanese massacred Jinan, making it difficult for students to study at ease, so they had to transfer to Peking University to study. How dare you still Have the face to ask them what they do?"
The Japanese soldiers still had to guard the gate, so they were too lazy to argue with Zhou Hexuan, so they waved to their companions and said, "They are all students, you can let them go!"
Zhou Hexuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Yunxiang and his soldiers are all young people in their 20s. And all of them are full of energy, they really look like college students.
