Chapter 98: 20,000 Red Army
Chang Ruiqing looked at Zhao Xianger with an expectant expression and suddenly laughed: "Is that good? I'm very fierce! You forgot how the wounds behind you came?" Zhao Xianger sneered: "Of course it's okay! I'm a great hero, and I'll be either a general or a chief in the future, and I'll be handsome. I can marry you for eight lifetimes. I'm not blamed me for the past, I'm a bandit and an official, this whip is just a routine. In the future, I'll be my wife, and I will definitely love me... Of course, if I do something wrong, I'll beat you and scold you! I'm a female bandit, I don't understand the rules of your wealthy family. I'll learn a lesson a few more times and you'll have a memory."
It's really straightforward! Chang Ruiqing looked at her calmly and said lightly: "Xiang'er, I'm not from a wealthy family. There are no rules at home. But today I want to set a rule for you! If you follow me in the future, you must absolutely obey my orders! Are you willing?"
Zhao Xianger's eyes turned and he focused his head: "I understand! I will do whatever I ask me to do in the future! Even if I ask me to go up to the mountain of swords and seas of fire, I will not frown."
He said beautifully, but Chang Ruiqing was skeptical. This woman liked her, besides this skin, she was probably the governor and general's future, and that 250,000 taels of gold? Speaking of which, she seemed to be the legendary "high and handsome rich"! How could this female bandit in the Republic of China have exactly the same preference for men as girls in later generations?
He laughed: "Xiang'er, then you will be my woman from now on! But I have already been married. Although the other party has not passed the door yet, the title of the eldest wife is already there. It is unrealistic to carry a sedan chair to welcome you through the door... And I have to keep the secret of Zuomin for a long time! So, without my consent, you can't leave me, do you understand?"
"I understand! I'll be a little kid." Zhao Xianger nodded readily, with a smile that could not be hidden on her face: "I will do whatever I ask me to do!"
She didn't know whether this was true or false? However, her feelings for Chang Ruiqing were just like a false one! Although she grew up in a bandit's nest and was trained and raised according to the standards of a female bandit, the idol in her female bandit's heart was Zhang Zuolin and Lu Rongting, who had been whitewashed! It was not the life she wanted to go through mountains and valleys all her life.
Chang Ruiqing seemed to smile faintly: "It's good that you can understand. Then I want you to tell me the plan of the Baodugu bandit gang. Don't worry, I will not let my bandit mother-in-law be wiped out."
"This..." Zhao Xianger just hesitated for a moment and said Mao Sizhong's words that he heard at the "Heroes Club" in Baodugu that day without missing a trace.
When Chang Ruiqing heard that the militia leader in Zaozhuang County had colluded with the bandits on Baodukou, he couldn't help but sigh. He was not worried that his army would be harmed by a group of militia bandits, but sighed for the world of the Republic of China, the bandit family. Uh, even he himself seemed to have become accustomed to the local customs!
······
At this time, on the mountain road leading to Zaozhuang from Baodugu, there were brigades wearing common people's clothes and carrying various long and short guns, either walking or riding horses, rolling forward. In the middle of this bandit army, three red flags were erected, with gold threads embroidered with three big characters "Mao", "Zhao" and "Liu". Under the middle of the big flag was a middle-aged man riding a tall horse and a sheepskin hat. It was Mao Sizhong, the most powerful bandit leader in Baodugu. He was standing with him, Zhao Xianger's mother, Ma Ma, and a young man with a little dark skin.
This person's name is Liu Heiqi, and he is also a giant bandit in the Baodugu area. This time, after the bandits in Baodugu were combined, they were elected as three shopkeepers, and ranked below Mao Sizhong and Madam Zhao. He frowned, as if he was a little upset. He was not optimistic about the plan to attack Zaozhuang and seize gold this time. These golds were obviously hot, and even if they were obtained, they might not have a life! If Miss Zhao's method could be achieved, contact Zuomin from the Red Brigade and let others take the lead in front of him, and he would have a share of the pie. However, he did not expect that Jia Yidao would run to Baodugu to report the news at night. The Madam Zhao was captured in a panic. Now his life and death were uncertain! Now Madam Zhao was eager to save her daughter, and Mao Sizhong was willing to make money again... How could he dare to sing a counter-tune?
Seeing his "three shopkeepers" browsing deeply, Mao Sizhong smiled deeply and explained, "Three brothers, please relax. Zhou Zicai has made an appointment with me. Tomorrow night, I will raise the fire as a sign and open the city gate to let us go into Zaozhuang City! This dark and sudden attack is another sudden attack. The constant traveler will surely be in chaos. We will definitely succeed. Even if we wash our hands in a golden basin, it will be enough for ten lifetimes!"
After hearing what Mao Sizhong said, Liu Heiqi also squeezed out a smile on his face and nodded reluctantly: "Why are you worried about the arrangement of the shopkeeper? Just......" As he said that, he glanced at Madam Zhao and said hesitantly: "Miss Zhao has fallen into the hands of Chang's surname......"
"My surname is Liu! What do you mean?" Madam Zhao's face was not good-looking at first, but now she was even more slight. She glanced at Liu Heiqi: "What kind of person is my daughter? The one with the surname Chang can't ask a word from her!"
Liu Heiqi nodded with a wry smile and said to himself: "Isn't it just a little girl who doesn't know how rich the world is? If it falls into his hands, it will be spit out in an hour."
Mao Sizhong said at this time, "Third brother, don't worry... Miss Zhao is a hero among girls, and it's impossible to do anything to torture merely. Moreover, my bottom line in Zaozhuang City is not only Zhou Zi. If something happens, we can turn our heads and go back to Hu Dugu! It's only a few dozen miles away, and it takes half a day to arrive. I don't believe it. Whoever named Chang dares to lead troops to the door?"
······
"Sir Shi, this is a handwritten letter from the Red Lexu Zuomin, and the ransom will be paid tomorrow night."
As soon as Shi Xu walked into Chang Ruiqing's office, he heard the long-awaited "good news" and rushed over and took the letter raft from Chang Ruiqing. In the office, Zhang Wensheng's representative Ye Quan and another lieutenant colonel named Tian from the Beiyang Army sent by Zhang Huaizhi. They were also invited by Chang Ruiqing's people, but they didn't expect that it was the news! At present, the Dingwu Army and the 5th Beiyang Division have not been completely arranged, and the soldiers from Henan and Anhui have not arrived on the road! Moreover, Chang Ruiqing said that he would pay the ransom later. It is quite a distance from Yishan here. Is it still too late to rush over now?
"What! The left-ranked man is going to lead 20,000 Red Army troops to come to pick him up!" Shi Xu opened the letter raft and blurted out: "They actually have 20,000 troops in the red brigade. No wonder they dare to enter the palace to rob the enemy!"
"Twenty thousand?" Ye Quan took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the Red Brigade's strength was so powerful! Although the other party might bluff in the letter, the other party dared to go to Zaozhuang to get gold, and his strength must not be underestimated! Fortunately, this time it was the capital of the four provinces. If only Dingwu Army was the only one, I was afraid it would not be able to deal with it!
The Lieutenant Colonel Tian was also surprised: "When did there be such a huge bandit in Yimeng Mountain? If they get gold, they will be difficult to deal with..."
"Staff General Tian, what do you mean?" Shi Xu seemed to hear something implicit from this sentence, and hurriedly hugged Chang Ruiqing: "General Chang, we must hand over the gold to the Red Brigade tomorrow night in exchange for the emperor. As for Premier Duan, where is Xu, Prince Chun, and Japanese consultant Mr. Aoki, will naturally say hello!"
After hearing this, Chang Ruiqing felt relieved, but his face was still solemn, frowned tightly, and said nothing. Shixu walked down, walked to Chang Ruiqing in two steps, leaned over to his ear, and whispered: "General Chang, as long as the emperor is safe, Prince Chun will thank you very much!"
