Chapter 342
Although everyone persuaded Lin Hongfei to create a new direct line, Lin Hongfei did not express his opinion on this matter, but directly issued a combat mission to Yu Province.
This time, Lin Hongfei dispatched nearly half of the Jiangbei Army's elite, a total of more than 6 people.
It seems that these 6 people are not a lot. Compared with the previous Zhifeng War, which was often 10,000+ and hundreds of thousands of troops, the number is very small.
But the problem is that whether it is the direct line or the Feng line, although the number of troops under its command is large and there are many factions, it is completely composed of troops that are not affiliated with each other.
This is also the reason why the position of the entire army will collapse once there is a sign of failure.
Including the so-called [Friendly army is in trouble, immovable like a mountain].
After all, your army is not mine, so why should I go to save you with enough food and food, and if I save you, my own army will suffer losses.
If all the troops in my hand are lost, then I will still be a fart warlord, just sweep the streets!
But Lin Hongfei is completely different here. The Shanling Army under his command was completely built by him. It looks like 6 people, but it is actually a whole.
Although there are 18 direct troops in Yu Province, they are scattered and do not communicate with each other.
Lin Ze only needs to concentrate his forces, and he can easily win by defeating each one.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ze called the editor-in-chief of Jiangbei Daily and asked him to write a telegram statement by himself. To put it bluntly, it was a declaration of war.
The editor-in-chief of Jiangbei Daily is named Yu Hao, who was hired by Lin Ze from Hubei Province at a high price, and his writing style is first-rate.
Sure enough, Yu Hao wrote this telegram statement impassioned and well-founded.
He first listed a series of contributions made by Lin Hongfei to Zhili in recent years, including occupying Lingnan Province, defeating the main force of Fengjun in the Zhifeng War, annexing Shaanxi Province, building industry, and developing people's livelihood.
Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject and began to criticize the direct line of heroes who faced Lin Hongfei, not only for failing to reward them in time, but for taking the land that Lin Hongfei had conquered for himself.
Then, he described how Lin Hongfei knew the general situation and considered the overall situation. Not only was he not annoyed, but he voluntarily gave up his position in Shaanxi Province.
It was only later that Shaanxi Province suffered from repeated banditry, and then the military and political affairs of Shaanxi Province were taken up again with the aspirations of the people.
Afterwards, Yu Hao wrote down again that even though Lin Hongfei had suffered such grievances, he was still loyal to the Zhili, but such a loyal minister could not get what he deserved.
The high-ranking officials in the direct line unexpectedly arrested all of Lin Hongfei's subordinates and they were about to be sentenced to death. The next step was to take action against Lin Hongfei.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei sent troops to Yu Province not because he betrayed the Zhili, but because there were bad people in the Zhili high-level.
These villains bewitched the old handsome Cao Zhongsan and made him issue a series of wrong orders.
This is not betrayal by Lin Hongfei, this is the side of the Qing emperor, this is Jing Nanyao, this is for the future of the immediate family, and he has to do it as a last resort!
After admiring Yu Hao's masterpiece, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but praise: "Look, look, this is so fucking well written, even I believe it myself!"
However, although the power-on statement was finished, Lin Hongfei was not in a hurry to release it. After all, this thing is equivalent to a declaration of war, and war will start as soon as it is released.
But now the main force of the Shanling Army has not reached the designated attack position, Lin Hongfei is not in a hurry.
When the Shanling Army marched into Henan Province, Lin Hongfei sent a number of messengers to Hubei Province, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Shanghai and other places with telegram statements.
They agreed on a time, and once the Shanling Army went to war, they would immediately publish the telegram statement in major newspapers and periodicals in various places to publicize the matter thoroughly.
Lin Hongfei is doing things, if he doesn't do it, he will do it, and if he does it, he will make a big noise!
Ma Yuechuan and Jin Lianshan in Jiangbei City naturally noticed such a big movement in the Shanling Army. They thought it was a good opportunity to persuade Lin Hongfei.
However, before they could find Lin Hongfei, Lin Hongfei came to the door himself.
Lin Hongfei didn't say anything useless, and said directly to Ma Yuechuan and Jin Lianshan:
"Take back what I said before. You go back and tell the old man. Although I will not call to announce my withdrawal from the direct line, from now on, I don't care about the direct line."
Lin Hongfei is a fierce tiger in the direct lineage, the Jiangbei tiger.
When the tiger said that he would not participate in the future Zhifeng wars, it was actually cutting off one of Zhili's thighs.
This is already a great help to the Feng Department!
Therefore, Ma Yuechuan and Jin Lianshan smiled immediately. Although they did not persuade Lin Hongfei to fall to the Feng family, they had achieved their expected goal by letting Lin Hongfei sit on the sidelines.
They are very satisfied with the result!
Ma Yuechuan was not idle, and directly presented a Citibank deposit certificate, which contained a large amount of US dollars.
"Hongfei, this is a little idea from the handsome man, you must accept it!"
Lin Hongfei took the deposit slip, looked at it and said with a smile, "Yuechuan, if I hadn't said what I just said, wouldn't you have taken out this deposit slip?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, but they could see the reason behind it.

Capital
Beijing Suburb Prison
This place was originally a prison for all kinds of serious criminals, and the internal environment was extremely harsh. Not only was the cell not seeing sunlight all day long, even if it was a sunny day, some water droplets would seep from the walls.
Not to mention the various instruments of torture in the cell that have been handed down since the Qing Dynasty.
No matter how tough a guy is, he only needs to be locked up here for a week, and he will be tortured until he looks bad.
However, in this dead prison, a few cells have been specially remodeled. Not only have the windows for ventilation and light been opened, but the straw piles used for sleeping and rest in the cells have also been cleaned away.
Instead, there are wooden beds with all the bedding and pillows on the beds, and jailers will come in to help clean and change them every once in a while.
As for the food, it is naturally not the swill-like soup in the mouths of other prisoners, and the bran buns with sand.
It is a small stove specially made by the chef in the prison, with three meals a day and drinks.
Such extraordinary treatment is naturally not something that ordinary prisoners can enjoy. The people locked in these cells are Sun Tie, Hu Naodan, Zhang Jincai, Zhao Feng and others who were arrested by Li Yanqing's order.
They are all Lin Hongfei's old team members and confidantes who stayed in the capital, so that Lin Hongfei can find out through them immediately if there is any trouble in the capital.
It was noon at this time, and accompanied by the sound of intensive footsteps, several prison policemen walked in with lunch boxes, and served today's lunch to everyone in turn.
Sliced pork, Mushu pork, stir-fried cabbage, Kung Pao chicken, plus a pot of wine and four steamed buns.
This is Sun Tie's lunch today, and everyone else's lunch is pretty much the same.
After the prison policeman who delivered the food set up the food, he smiled all over his face and said, "Master Sun, your food is ready, eat quickly!"
As a prisoner, Sun Tie waved his hands like a gentleman, signaling the police to go out, and sat down at the table to eat.
