Chapter VIII Provincial Army Reimbursement

After seeing off Lin Yichen, Liu Jingxiao was still a little worried about this new ally and ordered Xiong Xi to send additional personnel to investigate the situation of the four major players in Jiaodong. Xiong Xi's intelligence work has always been unsatisfactory. Everyone complained, and it was all thanks to Liu Jingxiao's support. Therefore, as soon as Liu Jingxiao spoke, he mobilized as many resources as possible to put them in this regard.

After spending a lot of money and obtaining a lot of information, Liu Jingxiao even obtained a detailed information about Lin Baihe of the contemporary Lin family. According to Xiong Xi, among the four great masters, the Lin family is the most powerful, and Lin Baihe is also an extremely human. He was born in the Lin family, but in the end he occupied the position of the head of the Lin family.

However, when Liu Jingxiao was satisfied, there was an adult who was very uncomfortable. This adult was Liu Jingxiao's immediate boss, the governor of Wang Ziqi, who was sitting in Shandong with the top seat.

After he resigned from his position as the governor of Shandong, the Central Committee commissioned Ding Chong as the governor of Shandong. The newly appointed governor of Governor Ding was uneasy with his wife and wanted to do something. Not to mention anything else, he replaced a large number of cadres as soon as he took office.

One day, the emperor and another day, Governor Ding was no exception. He used his confidants and several county magistrates brought from southern Shandong. For these four county magistrates, Ding Chong could use the method of using poison to fight poison. Wang Ziqi liked financial management, but he was plundered and the Finance Department was empty, but Wang Ziqi was so mastered that he could not even insert a needle.

If he had no money to do something big, he sent the four county magistrates who had done all kinds of bad things to the Finance Department. Before taking office, he said to the four county magistrates: "There are four people who have gone to make a fortune..."

The four former county magistrates used an artifact that was invincible, which was actually an old method of buying bribes. They controlled half of the finance department for a time. Wang Ziqi wanted to squeeze out Ding Chong's power, and the struggle between the two sides was very powerful.

The provincial parliament has always been a decoration, but there is a governor appointed by the central government, and this governor has a force independent of the provincial government. The provincial parliamentarian immediately turned against him. He made a proposal today and a suggestion tomorrow, specifically to pick out Wang Ziqi's faults, especially a group of Shandong congressmen, who came to look for Ding Chong every day and shouted: "Governor Ding! Governor Ding!"

The reality is very simple. Since the Republican Republic, the income of parliamentarians is linked to the power in the parliament. Since Wang Ziqi regards parliament as a decoration, the parliamentarians naturally won’t get much.

Look at how grand the members of Congress are! Bingjing and Tanjing are not waiting for each year. Every month, there is still money to get when attending the meeting. Then the president is elected to pass the benefits of the government. People eat, drink and have fun all year round. What a wonderful day! But look at Wang Ziqi, how hateful! The return and travel fees in the provincial capital are only distributed once, and they are calculated based on the local area. Bingjing and Tanjing are owed, and the car and horse fees are all owed. Attendance at one meeting is only paid 500 cents. The Speaker wanted to appointed a clerk of the Education Department. He went to the Supervisor's Office three times in a row, and finally let the Supervisor take the charge back. He is really a typical stingy cat!

So the performance of the congressman actually made Governor Wang pay more money and make more notes so that everyone could make a fortune. Although Ding Chong knew this, he wanted to seize some real power now, so he was happy to use these people.

In this way, Wang Ziqi's life would be difficult. The notes that were approved were not useful. The ones that worked were required to be approved by the governor and the military commander. He wanted to get some money to buy a red card girl from the brothel, but someone in the Finance Department insisted: "There is no money now!"

In the end, the Governor Wang, who had made a special trip to the Confucius Mansion to talk about the ways of Confucius and Mencius, forced himself to stage a tragedy of separation from life and death with the red-card girl.

The one who inserted the sword to steal the love was Cao Ming's younger brother Cao Dun. Cao Ming loved Cao Du the most and gave all his money to the younger brother to proliferate. As a result, Cao Du came to compete with Wang Du and was jealous. Finally, he competed with silver. After winning the battle, he said proudly: "We are the ones who are stronger in our direct relationship, and we are even more awesome to play with women!"

The red card cried in the arms of the governor for a long time, and soon smiled and threw himself into someone's arms. Where did the governor's face be put?

He now said to his confidants: "I am not the governor of Shandong, I am the governor of Shandong!"

As for the battle in the Yimeng Mountains, that was another unpleasant thing for him. Liu Jingxiao provoked bandit chaos and invaded Yimeng. Now he occupied Mengyin and confronted the provincial side. He fought fiercely under Mengyin City. In the end, the provincial army had to withdrew from Mengyin City.

This battle was a lot of money. According to the frontline report, the Third Mixed Brigade went to Mengyin with a large amount of baggage and ammunition. But he knew that he had encountered several times the enemy army and was in danger of losing all the entire army. Finally, he weighed the gains and losses, and had to burn the materials and retreat to the people of Mengyin to tears.

According to the reimbursement list, "This time the baggage loss was heavy, with 5,000 sets of summer clothes, 3,000 gloves, and 600 shi of military rations... Three hundred rifles, 36 horses, and 60,000 bullets were lost in the battle... After calculation, the following materials need to be supplemented... Due to the lack of materials, the combat effectiveness of the troops is seriously affected. Please give the military a supplement as soon as possible!" There are a total of 0,000 yuan, not counting the ammunition consumed, the supplementary materials alone are about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is equivalent to two months of military pay for a mixed brigade!

Of course, the competition for Mengyin County was not fierce, and the provincial army took the money and took the initiative to retreat. Not only did they take away all the bodies and supplies of the wounded, but they also snatched a lot of supplies from Mengyin County.

But now, we can see from this reimbursement list that Ding Ning's victory was too brilliant, and the enemy's losses exceeded our expectations. Bai Siwen quoted this telegram in his memoir to illustrate how much blow Wang Ziqi's bandit army, who invaded Mengyin County, suffered (this was a year later, but Bai Siwen advanced it). Although the command of the head of the cavalry regiment made serious mistakes, the officers and soldiers fought unanimously and finally achieved a great victory.

However, Section Chief Xiong handed the message over to Liu Jingxiao and Ding Ning, but Liu Jingxiao shook her head and said, "This is too exaggerated!" As for the leader of the cavalry regiment who was involved, he directly said, "It's a lot of nonsense!"

War is the most expensive. Wang Ziqi has realized this now. Although so many material losses are not all real, the Third Mixed Brigade fought fiercely with the 17th Division in Mengyin, so the losses will naturally not be too small. It is 50%, right? No, 50% is 30,000 or 40,000, at most 20%! But just these 20% and 30% will be a big ocean! In the end, Wang Ziqi gritted his teeth and removed a fraction of all the materials and was reimbursed!

Chinese cattle have always flew in the sky. Once the approval was obtained, the brigade commander had a lot of flowers on his face. In this way, it can reimburse his usual deficits. You should know that the troops often take the initiative to go out to suppress bandits and ask local areas to provide food, horses and grass. As for Latin Laf, it is common.

Of course, such active actions will have great results. Every day, after fierce battles with the bandits, many people were killed and injured. The bandits were dragged away, and the wounded soldiers fled in the chaos. The guns were damaged and destroyed on the spot. We had no casualties and consumed a lot of ammunition. In addition, the bandits could also say happily: "Brothers! I spent the silver to buy a large amount of ammunition and do a big deal!"

However, the battle was too active. The Third Mixed Brigade alone counted the results of the two months of this year and confirmed that it had killed and injured 88,000 bandits. The only regret was that it was not able to capture one person alive and failed to seize a good gun. However, the greater the result, the more ammunition it consumed. However, this time, the more ammunition it consumed, and the deficit was able to be smoothed out at one time.

After purging the deficit, they made a lot of money, so the brigade commander gave each small amount of money to the officers, and each soldier gave a piece of money to the ocean, which made the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Provincial Army admire him very much, and they all shouted: "When will we go to Mengyin to shoot a few shots and run back to pay the money!"

Finally, Wang Ziqi issued an order to retake Mengyin County. He was really heartbroken that the Third Mixed Brigade, which had retreated without authorization, had made so much money from him. He did not dare to use these two Mixed Brigades, so he used the Second Mixed Brigade of Shandong Provincial Army as the main force.

The troops in Shandong, except for Liu Jingxiao's 17th Division, are basically all the seedlings of the Fifth Division. Now, in addition to the Fifth Division and the 17th Division belonging to the central system, the provincial army is the second division and the third brigade, namely the Shandong Provincial Army's First Division and Second Division and the Shandong Second, Third and Fourth Third Mixed Brigades.

Shandong's Second Mixed Brigade was formed with officers of the Fifth Division and the surplus troops. Its combat effectiveness and loyalty are much stronger than these two direct miscellaneous brigades, and this brigade was strengthened before departure.

The elite is the elite, and it moves very quickly. When Liu Jingxiao discovered it, he had already arrived in Laiwu by train. Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but call Xiong Xi and scold her, and then said: "Next time if such a thing happens, your military horse statistics department will be changed to the toilet!"

The Military Horse Statistics Department is referred to as the Military Horse Statistics Department, but everyone calls it the "Ma Tong" behind their backs. Section Chief Xiong is a character, his face does not change color, and he acts as usual. He also said, "What the division commander is correcting is that he will definitely achieve something!"

After all, Wang Ziqi was a soldier and had a good tactics. He used sneak attacks to let the troops attack a black tiger and attack Mengyin, kill Ding Ning's troops, and then he decided whether to continue attacking or recover the Yimeng Mountains.

After checking the situation, Liu Jingxiao immediately ordered the regiments to send troops to support him immediately, and sent a telegram to Ding Ning: "Be careful, I have set out to command in person. I will not fight with the main force of the provincial army before I arrive. If necessary, you can withdraw from Mengyin!"

Now he couldn't stay in Linyi anymore, and he rode a few staff officers straight to Mengyin on fast horses.
