The train stopped at Jinzhou Beizhen Station. As soon as the door opened, the soldiers got off the train. Song Youzheng, the commander of the 27th Division, walked to Xu Chengfeng and looked at the Siping Army who had quickly formed the team and the officers and soldiers of the 27th Division who were working hard to form the team.

, sighing slightly.

After the troops were sorted out, they immediately headed for the 28th Division's garrison. When they arrived at the gate of the garrison, one of Feng Linge's adjutants went to call the door. Then the camp door opened wide and a major came out to greet them.

Everyone entered the division headquarters, and Xu Chengfeng took out the military order document and gave it to the deputy commander of the 28th Division. The military order ordered the 28th Division to immediately dispatch two regiments to Heilongjiang to exchange defense with local troops.

Even though the deputy division commander was sure that the military order was true, he still had a look of disbelief on his face and couldn't help but use the procrastination technique, "Brothers, please go down and rest first. I'm in a meeting now."

Xu Chengfeng asked calmly: "General Zhang's military order, the order signed by Commander Feng Linge of the 28th Division, what else is there to discuss? Is it necessary to discuss whether the 28th Division should obey the military order?"

Although his tone was calm, Xu Chengfeng's words were not polite at all. Anyone in the army who disobeyed military orders should be executed, not to mention the formal military orders signed by Zhen'an General Zhang Xiluan and the 29th Division Commander Feng Linge.

When the deputy commander heard this, he was at a loss. This time Commander Feng Linge went to Fengtian to celebrate Zhang Xiluan's birthday. Why did some people from other troops suddenly come back and order an immediate change of defense with the Heilongjiang Provincial Army? What a big deal this must be!

If there is a change of defense, Feng Linge will have to come back to take command in person. If he acts rashly, what should he do if he is blamed by Feng Linge in the future?

Looking at Xu Chengfeng's sharp gaze, the deputy division commander suddenly had an idea and asked: "Major Xu, please wait a moment. I will send a telegram to Commander Feng to ask how the development fee should be paid."

Almost at the same time, Cheng Ruofan, wearing the rank of major and a beautiful homespun army coat, walked into the Jilin Provincial Army Headquarters in Changchun. Several commanders of the Jilin Provincial Army read the order and had no plans to act immediately. Their

His eyes fell on Cheng Ruofan.

They saw that this young major, whom they had never met before, was handsome and polite. He said he was a soldier, but he looked like a handsome nobleman. However, the news brought by Cheng Ruofan was completely different from Cheng Ruofan's appearance. He turned out to be two men from the Jilin Provincial Army.

The regiment went to Fengtian and participated in military exercises with Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin. This is too strange no matter how you look at it.

Several regiment leaders discussed it and could only ask: "Major Cheng, what on earth is going on."

Cheng Ruofan's face sank and he said coldly: "What's the point of asking? Isn't it clearly stated in the military order? The rebels in the south have rebelled, and the president has ordered military exercises to be organized outside the customs so that they can come to Beijing for support at any time."

The regimental commanders naturally knew about Cai E's army, and also knew that their division commander firmly supported Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor. Although the military order was too urgent, it was not surprising. In the end, they could only say: "It's just the departure fee..."

Cheng Ruofan stood up abruptly, surprising the regiment leaders. However, Cheng Ruofan smiled and immediately became amiable, "You guys just need to prepare to send troops. Since Marshal Zhang has the order, how can he even do this?"

I couldn’t even imagine it.”

That night, several group leaders discussed it very late, but could not come up with a result. The matter was indeed strange, but the group leaders had no choice but to drag it on.

As soon as the leader of the second regiment returned home, guards came to report that Cheng Ruofan was here.

"How many people did he bring?" The second regiment commander became alert.

"Captain Cheng brought four people."

"...Invite him in." The commander of the Second Regiment said.

As soon as Cheng Ruofan arrived at the main room, he didn't say much. He took out two letters and handed them to the second regiment leader. When the second regiment leader opened them and looked at them, his expression immediately became serious. After reading the two letters, the second regiment leader asked: "Zhang

Is the situation over there so urgent?"

"When Gong Zhang sent his brothers here, he specifically told them that they must hand this letter to the regiment leader alone. The regiment leader is a person whom Zhang Gong can trust. The current situation is so urgent. If we can't gather people as soon as possible, there will be chaos in the army.

If you take the opportunity to cause chaos, it will be difficult to suppress it when the time comes."

Cheng Ruofan's sincere tone made the second regiment commander believe Cheng Ruofan's words. More importantly, he was originally under Zhang Xiluan. One of the two letters was naturally written by Zhang Xiluan, and the other was written by the second regiment commander's father in Fengtian.

There is no mistaking the handwriting of these two people.

Since the situation was like this, the commander of the second regiment became concerned and said, "I will lead the troops to Fengtian tomorrow. But the other two regiments..."

Cheng Ruofan replied decisively: "Gong Zhang said in his letter that it would be enough for two regiments to go to Fengtian. The Brotherhood will lead troops to stay in Changchun, and they will definitely not let those people cause chaos."

That night, the second regiment commander slept very poorly, and even thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. At dawn, the second regiment commander woke up in confusion, and read the two letters twice. He was worried that he would be

He lied and took out the previous letter from Zhang Xiluan and the letter from the second regiment leader’s father and checked the handwriting. Sure enough, it was written by the two of them.

Although he didn't know what was going on, the second regiment commander had decided to go to Fengtian as ordered.

In the morning, as soon as the commander of the second regiment arrived at the barracks, the commander of the third regiment rushed over. Looking at the look on the face of the third regiment commander, the second regiment commander asked the guards to go out first. The third regiment commander said: "Captain Cheng sent me a letter yesterday evening.

, the commander-in-chief wrote privately and ordered me to go to Fengtian."

After saying that, the third regiment commander stared at the second regiment commander. Seeing that the second regiment commander did not look surprised at all, the third regiment commander quickly asked in a low voice: "Did you also receive a letter from the commander?"

The commander of the second regiment nodded. He and the commander of the third regiment were both from Yiziying of the Hunan Army. They were Zhang Xiluan's old subordinates and could be considered as members of the Huai Army.

Since Zhang Xiluan was destined, the third regiment commander asked in a low voice: "I wonder if regiment commander Gao will go?"

The Jilin Provincial Army is the 23rd Beiyang Division. The commander of the first regiment, Gao Shibi, is the nephew of Mayor Meng Enyuan. Compared with the commander of the second regiment and the commander of the third regiment, he is the true confidant of Commander Meng Enyuan.

The second regiment leader did not answer the question, but asked: "If regiment leader Gao doesn't go, will you go?"

The two group leaders exchanged glances and had ideas in their minds.

At the appointed time in the morning, the three commanders of the 23rd Division gathered at the division headquarters. Cheng Ruofan led a group of people and parked several large vehicles at the entrance of the division.

After the three regiment leaders went out, Cheng Ruofan's men lifted up the linen cloth on the cart, revealing the box underneath. The lid of the box was opened, and the bright ocean inside made the three regiment leaders and their men who went out couldn't help but squint their eyes.

There are also some incompetent ones among them, their eyes are staring straight at the ocean, and their saliva is almost drooling.

Cheng Ruofan walked up to the three group leaders and said with a smile: "Brothers, according to the rules, the departure fee will be paid twice. I wonder when will the brothers set off?"

The first regiment commander Gao Shibi did not answer immediately, but called the other two regiment commanders to the division headquarters and asked: "What do you two think?"

The second and third regiment commanders had made up their minds at this time, and sneered: "I guess the man surnamed Cheng did not dare to fake the commander's order. I then received the money and went to Fengtian. If the man surnamed Cheng dared to fake it,

We asked the commander for his order and joined forces to fight back. We expected that this man named Cheng would not be able to stop him."

The first regiment commander Gao Shibi did not expect that the second regiment commander and the third regiment commander had already decided to go to Fengtian. Although he still felt that Cheng Ruofan was suspicious. However, those who came with Cheng Ruofan were the troops of the 27th Division from Fengtian. Gao Shibi sent someone to see him last night.

People who know each other learned that the men and horses of the 27th Army were indeed ordered by Zhang Xiluan to come to replace the defense. Zhang Xiluan ordered the 23rd Division of Jilin to go to Fengtian to participate in the exercise.

Originally, Gao Shibi wanted to stay in Changchun, but seeing that the second and third regiment commanders were about to leave, Gao Shibi hesitated again. Then he thought about it, and it was only his uncle Meng Enyuan who was able to stay in Changchun. This matter was really too serious.

It's too strange. If you really go to Fengtian, what should you do if something happens?

Finally Gao Shibi said: "I want to stay in Changchun."

The two group leaders were immediately unhappy, but did not show it. They just said goodbye.

The two of them went back to prepare, and after the troops had collected their departure fees at the train station and started boarding the train, the two regiment leaders began to discuss in low voices.

"How dare this guy with the surname Gao look down on the commander-in-chief like this!"

"When the commander-in-chief led us to fight against the Russians and Japanese, this kid didn't know where to feed himself!"

The soldiers were all happy after receiving the departure fee. They boarded the emergency deployment train to Fengtian. With the whistle blowing, the train slowly left the station and headed straight for Fengtian.
