Chapter 251 Self-binding
Li Guoge arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Duan! Li Guoge is a student of the fourth phase of Tianjin Wubei School and the younger brother of Brother Duan. Under the order of Admiral Song to garrison Hushan, he led a heavy force to Jiulian City to collect military supplies. Brother Duan also saw that my unit was not armed, and asked Brother Duan to make way.
Duan Qirui looked up to the sky and laughed: "It turned out to be Brother Li. Brother Li is indeed a top student of my Tianjin Martial Arts School. He can even do things to make the troops change their clothes!"
Li Guoge remembered that the military uniforms of Zhang's soldiers were completely different from those of the Qing army! For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Duan Qirui sneered: "Brother Li can't say it, then let me Duan Qirui speak for you! You are not the only brother of Duan Qirui in this valley! Is there another talented student named Zhou Charter?"
Now, Zhou Charter knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to come forward and punch Duan Qirui: "Zhou Charter pays a visit to his brother!"
Duan Qirui sneered: "Zhou Charter, you are the general soldier of Yizhou and the prime minister of North Korea. You are the highest among the graduates of Tianjin Wubei School. You are four levels higher than my first-class student. I, Duan Qirui, can't stand your great gift!"
"Brother Duan laughed." Zhou Charter laughed and said, "I don't know what you are doing when Brother Duan comes tonight?"
Duan Qirui laughed: "Zhou Charter, Zhou Charter, you are really a talent! So far, it's still not in a hurry! Zhou Charter, instead of attacking Seoul, you left the floodland and led the army back to China. The soldiers pointed directly at our Qing Dynasty! You are rebel! Zhang officers and soldiers listened, I, Duan Qirui was ordered to capture the traitor Zhou Charter! As long as you hand over the Zhou Charter and stop resisting, you will be exonerated!"
Zhou Charter shook his head: "Brother Duan joked, how dare I, Zhou Charter, dare to rebel."
Duan Qirui sneered: "Zhou Charter, you recapture Pyongyang and eliminate the mixed brigade. I admire you! However, instead of fighting little Japan now, you will attack my nine cities! This shows that you have become a true traitor, and Zhang Jun has also become a rebel of our Qing Dynasty under your leadership! I, Duan Qirui, was ordered by the Empress Dowager to eliminate rebellion! Zhou Charter, others are afraid of you, but I, Duan Qirui, am not afraid of you!"
Li Guoge said angrily, "Zhang Jun didn't even bring weapons. They rebelled against a bird!" Duan Qirui, don't be a good man here! Your Hezijun is well equipped, and Zhang Jun is bare-handed. If you have the ability, let Zhang Jun pick up a weapon and try!"
Duan Qirui's face turned red. Li Guoge's words were right. Zhang Jun was empty-handed. If Zhang Jun had weapons in his hand, Duan Qirui was really not sure that he could withstand Zhang Jun's attack - he had noticed that although Zhang Jun was in danger, no one from Zhou Charter to ordinary soldiers panicked. Some people stick to their posts, and the army does not waver at all.
This is an awesome army and a chilling army!
The calmness of Zhang's officers and soldiers stems from their absolute trust in their commander. They believe that with Zhou Charter, even if they enter the ghost gate, they can come out!
Duan Qirui sneered: "Li Guoge, do you also want to follow Zhou Charter to plot a rebellion?"
Li Guoge shouted, "If Brother Duan must open fire on Zhang Jun, the officers and soldiers of the revolutionary battalion can't stand by! Brother Duan should know that Hushan is the defense area of my Gezi Camp!" Li Guoge said and shouted at the back of the cliff, "Where is the revolutionary camp!"
On the cliffs on both sides, there was a thunderous noise. The officers and soldiers of the leather battalion accumulated from the cliffs on both sides to the Hezi army, and some of the Hezi army had occupied part of the highlands on the cliff. The two sides drew their swords and confronted on the cliff.
Yao Xi praised, "Li Guoge, you are worthy of my braided brother!"
Zhou Charter shouted, "Li Guoge, let your camp retreat and evacuate the cliff!"
Li Guoge was shocked and said, "Master Zhou! If the revolutionary camp withdraws from the cliff, this is the world of the Hezi army!"
Zhou Charter sighed: "Little Japan is still in Liaodong, and the Chinese and China fight first!" Then we are really rebels!"
"Then we can't wait to die!" Yao Xi said.
"What Duan Qirui wants is me!" Zhou Charter said in a low voice, "Yao Xi, go and call Feng Guozhang."
Yao Xi answered and turned around.
Zhou Charter arched his hand and said to Duan Qirui, "Brother Duan, Zhou Charter led the army back to China for a reason, but it is by no means a rebellion against the imperial court! There is something difficult to say. It's inconvenient to say clearly. Please ask Brother Duan to take me to see General Meng Mingshi, the commander of the Hezi Army. When I see General Meng, I will say that at that time, if you want to kill, you will be scraped. Please ask General Meng to kill it.
Zhou Charter knows that this battle cannot be fought under any circumstances. Once the battle is fought, no matter what the result is, Zhang Jun is a real rebel! Not only will Zhang Jun's reputation be ruined, but also the Japanese will definitely take advantage of the fire. At that time, the Japanese army can unscrupulously sweep North Korea, Liaodong, Shandong, and even Beijing!
"Zhou Charter, in this case, if you are sincere, please bind yourself to our army!" Duan Qirui shouted.
"Bulls!" Li Guoge shouted, "Duan, you don't have to take an inch!"
Zhou Charter waved his hand to stop Li Guoge.
After a while, Feng Guozhang hurried over and saluted Zhou Charter: "Brother, you speak, and I will lead someone to rush over!" What a bullshit, Lin Jun, in my eyes, it's just a pile of shit!"
Zhou Charter shook his head: "I'll go to see their leader in the army, and I'll give it to you!"
Feng Guozhang was shocked: "Brother, this can't be done. The Empress Dowager hates you to the bone. She deployed the Royal Forest Army in Jiulian City just because she wanted your life! If you go to Hezijun, how can they forgive you!"
Zhou Charter said, "Human life has its own destiny!" Remember, if I can't come back, you will lead your brothers back to North Korea and never exchange fire with the Qing army! Zhang Jun will suffer a big loss with his bare hands! Go back and tell Luo Mingfang and Naha Wu that if they want to take Zhang Jun to avenge me, they are not my brothers!"
"Brother, I can't do it!" Feng Guozhang's eyes were red and his voice was choked.
"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Zhou Charter shouted, "If Zhangjun fights with the Qing army and both sides will be defeated, the Japanese will be happy! At that time, our Zhangjun can't defend North Korea, and the Qing army can't defend Shandong. Everyone is finished! Feng Guozhang, you are an understanding person. Can't you see it at all?
Feng Guozhang nodded with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I'm waiting for you here!" If you come back alive, all the world will rest! If they want to do anything to you, I, Feng Guozhang, will not rebel against the court or return to North Korea. I will go with you!"
Zhou Charter shook his head and sighed, "Yao Xi, tie me up!"
Yao Xi turned around and shouted, "Li Guoge, tie me up with our eldest brother!" Damn, I'm the eldest brother's adjutant. Where the eldest brother is, I am!"
Zhou Charter had no choice but to say, "Li Guoge, tie me up with Yao Xi!"
With tears in his eyes, Li Guoge saluted Zhou Charter and personally tied Zhou Charter and Yao Xi with a rope.
The crowd gathered Zhou Charter to the mountain pass. Zhou Charter shouted at Duan Qirui, "Brother Duan, please take us to see General Meng!"
Duan Qirui was very surprised to see Zhou Charter. He thought that Zhou Charter was just talking, but he didn't expect that Zhou Charter really tied himself up.
Duan Qirui arched his hand to Zhou Charter: "Zhou's words must be done, and Duan admires him! Duan is also in the military, and he can't help it. Please forgive Mr. Zhou.
"It's easy to say!" Zhou Charter laughed and walked to the fence with Yao Xi and said to Duan Qirui, "There is one more thing below. Please allow Brother Duan."
"Zhou Zongbing, please tell me."
"Brother Zhang Jun is unarmed and has no intention to rebel against the court. If the court wants to treat the crime of Zhou Charter, please ask Brother Duan to open up."
Zhou Charter is most worried that He Zijun started to kill Zhang Jun's brothers in the valley. At that time, Shi Dakai surrendered in person in the Qing barracks, hoping that the Qing army could let go of the remnants of the Taiping Army. As a result, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, went back on his head. After detaining Shi Dakai, he still killed the besieged Taiping army.
Killing prisoners is a tradition of the Qing army! Since Dorcon entered Shanhaiguan, this tradition has not been interrupted until today in the 19th century.
Duan Qirui pondered for a moment and said, "Please rest assured that Duan is very disgraceful of what Luo Bingzhang did in those years! Even if Commander Meng has an order, Duan will try to settle this matter! After all, Zhang Jun has made great achievements in fighting Japan!"
"Thank you very much!"
Duan Qirui took a team of people, escorted Zhou Charter and Yao Xi, and walked along the road to Jiulian City. Walking more than ten miles, I saw the lights in front of me, and a large camp appeared in front of everyone. At the gate, a big flag was erected, and the word "and" was faintly visible on the flag.
Entering the gate, Duan Qirui ordered Yao Xi to be closed. In a remote hut, he took Zhou Charter to a huge military tent.
The military tent is set behind the cliff, and the forest around the military tent is very secret. Outside the military tent, two rows of soldiers with live ammunition stood on both sides of the tent door. These soldiers were all strong and energetic. The lights in the military tent were bright, and the shadows were faintly visible inside. Obviously, this is the big account of the Chinese army of the Hezi Army.
Duan Qirui ordered people to watch Zhou Charter, stand outside the military tent, and walk into the military tent by himself.
After a while, Duan Qirui came out of the military account and waved to the soldiers behind Zhou Charter. The soldiers escorted Zhou Charter and walked into the military account.
In the military tent, there is a marching chair directly to the north, sitting on a general. The general's armor was bright, wearing a five-grade general's official uniform, wearing a handsome helmet on his head, and the armor on both sides covered half of his face and eyes. Only his nose, mouth and chin were exposed, but there was a chill on his face, which made Zhou Charter shiver.
This should be the legendary commander of the Hezi Army, Meng Mingshi.
