Han Baihang knew that Zhang Zongchang was a scoundrel, but he didn't expect that this guy was still such a protective person. He was just a "supervisor" sent by Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang. This Zhang Zongchang treated him respectfully for the sake of Marshal Zhang.
He even lost his temper, but Han Baihang still had to beat him.
Zhang Zongchang sent someone to bring more tea to Han Baihang, and Han Baihang finally picked up the teacup and took a sip. When Zhang Zongchang saw this, his face finally relaxed.
Han Baihang put the tea bowl back on the table and said: "Governor Zhang, when I came in, I heard your subordinates say that only you, Zhang Zongchang, are recognized here. You are not a member of the army. Not to mention Han Baihang, I am here, but Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang are here in person."
Even your soldiers don’t recognize it. I wonder if there is such a thing?”
When Zhang Zongchang saw Han Baihang picking up his tea, he thought that it was finally okay. He also picked up the teacup and drank. However, he didn't expect Han Baihang to say this again. He was so frightened that he quickly dropped the teacup and jumped up from the sky.
He stood up on the chair and shouted: "Who said that? What fucking bastard said that? Isn't this harming our old boss? Mr. Han, the conscience of heaven and earth can be learned from the sun and the moon. I, Zhang Zongchang, do that to the old commander."
Loyalty...loyalty, what is that loyalty?"
A general next to him quickly came up and whispered: "Be loyal!"
Zhang Zongchang's voice raised an octave and he shouted: "Ah, yes! I am loyal! Marshal Zhang tells me to go east, but I, Zhang Zongchang, will never go west. Marshal Zhang tells me to chase dogs, but I, Zhang Zongchang, will never chase roosters!"
Mr. Han, you have to put in a nice word for me in front of the commander, but you must not let him misunderstand me!" After saying that, he let out a long sigh and almost shed tears.
Han Baihang felt funny in his heart. He also knew that Zhang Zongchang was a talented "performing artist". In terms of "performance", he must be the leader among generals. Han Baihang had to be convinced by his acting skills. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Zongchang and said:
"So, that means there is no such thing? But your soldiers..." Han Baihang deliberately stopped at this point.
Zhang Zongchang quickly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Han, don't worry, there is absolutely no such thing. I swear to God, if Zhang Zongchang is disloyal to the old commander in the slightest, God will strike with thunder! Mr. Han, you can
Please forgive me. You also know that I am a rough guy and the soldiers under my command are not very educated. It is understandable that he cannot recognize you, Master Han! I must educate you well!"
Han Baihang didn't want to get too entangled with him on these matters. He also knew that there would be no results in arguing with Zhang Zongchang on these matters. On the surface, this guy called him grandpa and grandma, but he didn't know that secretly he was
No one knows what he thinks. Zhang Zongchang's army expanded several times in the Zhili-Fengtian War. This time he easily captured Zhenjiang. His strength and power have greatly increased. He really cannot be underestimated.
I don’t know what Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang can do to him. Han Baihang doesn’t know yet.
His purpose was to assist Zhang Zongchang in attacking Su Province. He originally disagreed with this decision, but now that Zhang Zongchang was unstoppable, and Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang were bound to win, Han Baihang knew that nothing he said would be of any use, so he had no choice but to stay away.
It's good to put more thought into this issue. If you win, it's good. If you lose, just clean up the mess.
Sure enough, after Han Baihang's tossing and intimidation in front of Zhang Zongchang, the order in Zhenjiang City was instantly under control. Han Baihang's team also pulled into Zhenjiang City, but unlike Zhang Zongchang, he did not solicit the support of the local people.
In order to provide housing and food, he chose an open area near the city as a place to garrison his troops and set up camp here.
Han Baihang's Fengjun almost played a supervisory role in Zhenjiang City. As long as Han Baihang's Fengjun passed by, the Lu army would be greatly restrained even if it was looting. It is estimated that they have received Zhang Zongchang's order and did not dare to easily
cause trouble.
The battlefield in Zhenjiang has been taken over by Han Baihang's Fengjun. He issued an announcement in the city and came to claim the bodies of his family members. As for those who were unclaimed, he would also order his subordinates to register them and leave their names.
.Some of these dead soldiers had tags on their bodies, and some had letters or small notes on their bodies, all of which recorded their information.
Han Baihang also found a roster in the destroyed Zhenjiang Division headquarters, which recorded the composition and names of all the division's soldiers, which made the confirmation work a lot easier. Their bodies were cremated one by one, and their ashes were buried in
to Zhenjiang.
Since ancient times, there has always been a large-scale plague after every war. Han Baihang naturally knew this pattern. He asked people to bring a large amount of lime and sprinkle it all over the Zhenjiang battlefield in order to prevent it from being contaminated by rotting corpses.
Don't let the virus spread unchecked.
This is all Han Baihang can do.
For Han Baihang, this is what a general should do, and it should also be an indispensable link in a combat system. But for troops like the White Russian Army, it is undoubtedly a fantasy. They only care about killing and robbing, anyway.
It's just a matter of fighting a war and changing places. As long as Shandong is not polluted, they don't care about other places.
In Shanghai, Qi Xieyuan received the news that Zhenjiang had been lost. He sat down on a chair. It was as if his soul had been taken away from him. In just one day, the entire Zhenjiang fell. There was a division with nearly 10,000 troops.
Ah, it would take Zhang Zongchang several days to capture even ten thousand pigs, but the telegram with black and white letters was in his hand, so he had to believe the facts before him.
Is Zhang Zongchang's strength already so strong? Is there really nothing he can do? Will Shanghai and the entire Jiangsu Province be surrendered to others? He is unwilling to give up! He has no way out.
!
If they fight, the whole army may be annihilated, but if they retreat, they will die without a burial. What should they do? Qi Xieyuan looked at the telegram in his hand and imagined Zhang Zongchang's army entering Shanghai. He didn't know what to do.
At this time, his guard hurriedly ran in, holding a telegram in his hand, and shouted as he ran: "Administrator Sun has come with news, Governor Wu has come with news, Commander, we are saved!"
Qi Xieyuan was at a loss when he suddenly heard the news that Sun Chuanfang had arrived. He knew that his call for help had been responded to, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he received the guard's telegram, he kept trembling in his hand. It was so timely!
