Logically speaking, it is not suspicious that Zhang Zhiqing, as the governor of a province, met with several local gentry.

Therefore, Chu Liangyi and Wu Qiusheng are not very sure that the real culprit behind the scenes is Zhang Zhiqing.

However, not long after, the police officers responsible for monitoring the Han family discovered that a motorcade was parked outside the Han family compound, with piles of sacks on each carriage.

Immediately afterwards, something happened that surprised the police officers. They saw the servants of the Han family unloading the sacks and throwing them to the ground, and then exposed long wooden boxes.

Observing through a telescope, a police officer was surprised to find that those long wooden boxes were clearly packaging boxes used to hold guns!

Things changed at this time, and Zhang Zhiqing's suspicion suddenly increased!

The police officers did not delay and immediately reported the matter to Chu Liangyi and Wu Qiusheng.

When Wu Qiusheng heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Purchasing arms for no reason. It seems that the Lingnan Jingguo Army incident has nothing to do with Zhang Zhiqing!"

"Should we send someone to arrest them now and ask who provided the arms to Zhang Zhiqing!"

Regarding Zhang Zhiqing, the puppet governor, Wu Qiusheng did not think that he had the ability to obtain firearms, so there must be a big backer behind him.

And this backer is the biggest enemy of Jiangbei Army, Zhang Zhiqing is just a cover for him.

After hearing Wu Qiusheng's suggestion, Chu Liangyi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "No, don't touch him for now."

"Tell this matter to the commander-in-chief first and see what the commander-in-chief thinks!"

"In addition, send more people to keep Zhang Zhiqing, Han Wenkui, and Mu Hongbin under surveillance. Even if they go to the latrine and use a few pieces of paper, I still have to find out!"

Immediately, two couriers carried Chu Liangyi's handwritten letter and rushed to Jiangbei as quickly as possible.

After receiving the letter from Chu Liangyi, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but frown: "This Zhang Zhiqing is really shameless!"

"I want you to continue to sit in the position of provincial governor and receive a high salary, but you still want to bring in the Lingnan Jingguo Army to fight against me?"

Next to him, Wu Yongquan, who happened to be in Jiangbei on business, also read Chu Liangyi's letter. He snorted coldly: "If you deal with him, how can a bunch of ragtag people rebel against heaven?"

Lin Hongfei said thoughtfully: "It must be done, but I plan to indulge him first."

Wu Yongquan was a little confused: "Indulgence? What do you mean? Are you going to let this old guy Zhang Zhiqing continue to dance for a while?"

Lin Hongfei nodded: "Yes, if Zhang Zhiqing wants to launch the Lingnan Jingguo Army, he must win over the support of the local faction in the Dongjiang area."

"So, let's just let him, Zhang Zhiqing, do the hard work. I can just see how many people in the Dongjiang area dare to go against me, Lin Hongfei."

"On the day when Zhang Zhiqing starts his rebellion, he will be able to wipe out all the chaotic forces in the Dongjiang area!"

Wu Yongquan thought for a moment: "What you said makes sense, but I'm worried that if the Lingnan Jingguo Army becomes too powerful, and we don't have many troops stationed in the Dongjiang area, then..."

Before Wu Yongquan could finish speaking, Lin Hongfei waved his hand and said, "You think highly of Zhang Zhiqing. If he had that ability, he wouldn't have been suppressed by He Taikang for so many years."

"Liangyi's analysis is correct. This old guy must have climbed onto some big backer. He feels that he has become straighter, more capable, and more adrift!"

When Wu Yongquan heard this, he said meaningfully: "Zhang Zhiqing is also the governor of a province. There are only a handful of people who can be the governor's backer. Who do you think this person will be?"

Lin Hongfei smiled slightly: "It is definitely impossible for Xiao Yaonan to have an enmity with us. He has not settled the matter in Hubei Province yet, so how can he have the intention to cause trouble for us."

"As for Marshal Cao and Marshal Yu, that's even more impossible. No matter how bad our brothers are, they are still rising stars in the direct line. Qianliju, these two old men will not torment us even if they are fooled by lard."

"So, I think the only one who has the ability and reason to deal with us is Marshal Zhang from the Northeast!"

Wu Yongquan thought about it, nodded and said: "Don't tell me, it's really possible. I went to pay homage to Commander Yu some time ago, and the old man told me that the Zhifeng and Feng families might start fighting, and then we would have to take the main force of the Jiangbei Army northward.

, fight with Fengjun."

"What the old man can think of, Dashuai Zhang can also see clearly. He secretly wooed Zhang Zhiqing, sent him a batch of arms, and asked him to create a Lingnan Jingguo Army."

"Even if we cannot defeat our Jiangbei Army, it can distract our energy and strength, making it impossible for us to safely lead our troops northward."

Lin Hongfei smiled and said: "So, there is no need to worry about dealing with Zhang Zhiqing. Let him gather the forces that oppose us in the province and then we will have a pot of trouble."

"In this way, we no longer have to worry about a large number of people with ulterior motives hiding in the province!"

Wu Yongquan nodded: "That's true, but the Dongjiang side still needs to increase some troops, so it's safer!"

"And we have to enter Dongjiang secretly to avoid being noticed by Zhang Zhiqing and others."

Lin Hongfei agreed very much with Wu Yongquan's suggestion. Two days later, more than 2,000 Jiangbei Army soldiers dressed in civilian clothes marched from Jiangbei City to Dongjiang City in batches and secretly settled in the military camp on the outskirts of Dongjiang City.

At the same time, an engineering team also began to level the land and build walls in the name of building a training ground on an open space a hundred miles away from Dongjiang City.

At the same time as the engineering team, several aviation pilots and a large amount of aviation fuel and ammunition were stationed in the open space.

Although Zhang Zhiqing was cautious enough, when he sent someone to kill Sun Yuting, he specifically asked the killer to take away the rice paper with "Lingnan Jingguo Military Seal" written on it.

However, after a lot of confusion, a red mark completely exposed his affairs to Lin Hongfei's eyes.

It's just that Zhang Zhiqing didn't realize this. He was still jumping up and down, especially after accepting "Two-Gun Wolf" Lang Kun and more than a thousand bandits under his command as his direct descendants, which made him feel more confident.

I also have soldiers!

You no longer have to act based on other people’s faces in the future!

To put it simply, Zhang Zhiqing was a little distracted. Fortunately, he knew that the big thing had not been accomplished. It was too early to be happy now, otherwise this person would have drifted away to the sky.

Of course, it's not just Zhang Zhiqing, the gentry like Han Wenkui and Mu Hongbin are not much better. Although these people don't even have a decent set of military uniforms and still wear long robes and mandarin jackets, they already consider themselves officers of the regular army.

.

If this was done in the Qing Dynasty, he would be the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the troops. If Lin Hongfei was driven away in the future, he would definitely be able to become an admiral.
