In addition to deducting more than half of Yang Keji's military pay, Cao Zhongsan originally approved a note with which he could go to the arsenal to receive 1,000 rifles.

Originally, these guns were to support the newly established [Shaanxi Province Jingguo Army] to enhance their military strength.

But Yang Keji knew in his heart that even if these guns were given to the Jingguo Army in Shaanxi Province, they would eventually be used by these soldiers to bully the people.

What, with these 1,000 new guns, the Shaanxi Province Jingguo Army can have a fight with Lin Hongfei's Shaanling Army.

What a joke!

Therefore, Yang Keji did not transport the gun, but directly transferred the approval note to a foreign bank in exchange for a Citibank deposit certificate.

Yang Keji felt that he had fallen. He was not so greedy for money before.

But his experience in Shaanxi Province made him understand that he is just a kid, and when gods fight, he often suffers.

Simply, if people don't want to be punished for themselves, I, a little brat, will take advantage of the opportunity to get more benefits, and then look for opportunities to sneak into the concession and become a rich man.

In such a chaotic world, Yang Keji finally understood.

...

Not long after Lin Hongfei was promoted to general, he planned to return to Lingnan Province.

Although Lin Hongfei also served as the governor of Shaanxi Province, Lin Hongfei completely left the military affairs of Shaanxi Province to Wu Yongquan.

The military affairs of Lingnan Province were all on track, and Wu Yongquan, the governor of Lingnan Province, had nothing important to do.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan have replaced each other's respective jurisdictions.

But these two people are no longer distinguishable from each other, and changing the territory under their jurisdiction is not a big deal for them.

Not only that, but with the push of some people with ulterior motives, the title "Lin Wu" gradually became popular within the direct line.

The meaning of this title is very straightforward. Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan have become one, so don’t think about alienating them!

As for Cao Zhongsan, the leader of the direct line, he repeatedly caused obstacles for Lin Hongfei, which gave Lin Hongfei the idea of ​​​​leaving the direct line.

As the number two figure in the "Shaanling Clan", Wu Yongquan did not object to Lin Hongfei's idea.

To be honest, the clay figurine still has a bad temper. Wu Yongquan is now an upright General of Zhen'an, and there are only about thirty people in the country who hold the position of General.

This also includes many old warlords who have resigned and lost their military power.

"Although our brothers can't start and develop without direct help."

"But the problem is, it's my uncle who is helping us, and he has nothing to do with Cao Zhongsan."

"Now that he treats our brothers like this, there is no need for us to work under him anymore!"

"Anyway, we are now dominating two provinces, with strong soldiers and horses, and we have the strength to become our own sect!"

Lin Hongfei pondered for a moment and then said: "As for Yu Shuai, I can't explain it to the old man."

"We brothers have to find time to apologize to the old man in person."

Wu Yongquan smiled and said nonchalantly: "This is nothing to worry about. Even if the old man is angry, he can't shoot us two!"

"Besides, we are only independent from the direct line. According to ordinary people, this should be called a separate family."

Lin Hongfei suddenly thought of something at this time, and burst into laughter.

Wu Yongquan was stunned for a moment: "Hongfei, why are you laughing?"

Lin Hongfei suppressed his smile, but still raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I suddenly remembered a word [house slaves with three surnames]."

"Look at me, I first made my fortune by relying on the Anhui clique, and then relied on the Zhili clique to prosper. Now, I am independent from the Zhili clique, and I am still colluding with Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi."

"I guess if Cao Zhongsan and the others scold me, I won't be able to escape the word 'house slave with three surnames'."

"This Lu Bu has become myself!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Wu Yongquan couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. He held his stomach while holding back his laughter and said:

"If you were Lu Bu, then I would be Zhang Liao."

"It happens that our Lingnan Province is adjacent to the Yangtze River, but where is Sun Zhongmou? Can't I defeat his 100,000 troops?"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan looked at each other and laughed.

Having made up their mind to break away from the Zhili clique, Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan did not act rashly. They still needed an introduction.

And this introduction is the [Shaanxi Province Jingguo Army] active in Shaanxi Province.

In fact, Lin Hongfei's Special Investigation Division had already become aware of Yang Keji's activities in Shaanxi Province, and reported the information to Lin Hongfei immediately.

However, Lin Hongfei didn't care that a group of small loaches in a pit could make big waves.

Let them just let them go, and when these people have gone too far, let the Shaoling Army catch them all in one fell swoop.

At that time, the Shaanling Army spread the news that the mastermind behind the [Shaanxi Province Jingguo Army] was Cao Zhongsan.

You, a direct leader, don't think about how to deal with the Feng clique. Regarding the remnants of the Anhui clique, you actually think about poaching your own family members every day.

Lin Hongfei could use this incident as an excuse to directly declare his separation from the Zhili clique. This would be justified.

However, in this case, Cao Zhongsan naturally wanted to send troops to attack Lin Hongfei in order to save his own face and maintain his authority.

Otherwise, if Lin Hongfei becomes independent today, who will announce his separation from the Zhili clique tomorrow?

Therefore, Lin Hongfei had to make some preparations in advance.

Therefore, when Lin Hongfei returned to Lingnan Province from Shaanxi Province, the first order he issued was to expand the [Shaanxi Ling Army].

At present, the [Shaanling Army] has been expanded several times and now has five divisions with a total of more than 70,000 people.

Lin Hongfei decided to increase the number of personnel of the [Shaanling Army] to 100,000, and build permanent defenses at key points along the only routes into Shaanxi and Lingnan Provinces.

At the same time, large amounts of arms were continuously transported into Lingnan Province through channels as far away as Wal-Mart in Shanghai.

Earlier, Lin Hongfei arranged for Wu Qishan under his command to serve as the general manager of the Hanyang Arsenal in Hubei Province.

After Wu Qishan's poaching and poaching operations these days, many senior technicians and skilled workers from Hanyang Arsenal have come to Lingnan Province.

Coupled with the second-hand arsenal machines purchased from the Lighthouse Country, the Jiangbei arsenal in Lingnan Province has been put into production.

When Lin Hongfei returned to Lingnan Province from Shaanxi Province, Jiangbei Arsenal happened to produce the first batch of firearms.

Lin Hongfei's face was very happy when he saw the new guns. From this moment on, he could finally no longer rely on military purchases.

Even without the channels of foreign companies, I can still be self-sufficient in ammunition and firearms.
