Chapter 180 180 [Cut the braid]

"Sir, Lord Yuan has taken office as president in the capital." The telegraph operator said happily while holding a telegram.

This Mr. Yuan, President Yuan is the idol of many people. He forced the Qing emperor to abdicate, defeated the southern revolutionary party, and transformed himself into the most powerful person in the Republic of China, the president.

Yuan Pengfei touched his bald head and felt very comfortable. The pig tail finally disappeared openly, and he didn't have to bring that wig out for meetings.

Joy is to be shared, and he ordered with a big wave of his hand: "The order will go on, and the whole army will cut their whips, and give me a plate. The cooks will kill pigs and chickens, and give me a lively celebration."

"Yes."

The messenger responded happily, and trotted out.

Yuan Pengfei cut off his braids on the day of the Wuchang Uprising to pay tribute to the revolutionary martyrs.

But he didn't dare to be too big, he was not the strongest, and the surrounding tigers and wolves were entrenched.There are six Beiyang towns in Nanjing City, and Zhang Zuolin's five-way patrol battalion in Fengtian.

If he dared to order the whole army to cut arguments, if Lao Yuan misunderstood him, he would have to send Zhang Zuolin to attack him.

We must know that during the Wuchang Uprising, the new army in Fengtian City was not honest, and was suppressed and disarmed by the troops led by Zhang Zuolin.

Not all patrol battalions are vulnerable!

Of course, thanks to this blessing, Mr. Zhang has become the lieutenant general and commander of the 27th Division, the military training minister outside the customs, and has already achieved great success.

It's not enough just to have fun, but also to deal with human relations. Send a telegram to congratulate and show your sense of existence.

Yuan Pengfei waved his secretary over and said, "Xiao Zhang, send me two telegrams, one to President Yuan, to congratulate him on his inauguration. The other to my brother, Mr. Zhang, to congratulate him on his promotion. Teacher, add more nice words!"

Secretary Zhang nodded. He was able to handle this matter with his hands. He had attended private schools and new-style schools, and he could write a few beautiful words, which was much better than Yuan Pengfei, a guy with less than three liters of ink in his stomach.

But before he could leave the house, the telegraph operator came back again, "Sir, President Yuan appointed you as the envoy of Sanjiangkou."

Secretary Zhang stopped in his tracks and congratulated him: "Congratulations, sir, the guardian envoy in the previous dynasty was the commander-in-chief of the second rank, but now such a position must be held by a brigade commander or division commander."

"That can only mean that my money is not wasted, what else can it mean? It's not for me to be the guard of Bingcheng Town. What good town is there in a county." Yuan Pengfei complained impatiently.

Of course, he is just a little angry. If he really wants to get rid of his arms and do it, with his financial strength, he can go to the camp of the Southern Revolutionary Party, and he can become king and hegemony in any province he chooses. like playing.

But that's just thinking about it, his bullshit system can't tolerate him messing around.If he really dared to do that, he would have to end the mission and return before halfway through the implementation.

An unimportant guardian envoy is already the bottom line, and if he continues to go up, he will get into trouble.

"Xiao Zhang, add another thank you telegram." Yuan Pengfei licked his lips, "Also, send a confidential telegram to the activists stationed in Beijing to dial 20 yuan. Those princes and ministers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty are down and out, and they will definitely need to sell their property.

Forget about the prince's mansion, it's too ostentatious, get me a similar house.And taking advantage of the low price, collect all the good things for me, don't be hustled by these bastards who don't care about you. "

Secretary Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then he responded and went down to execute it.But he still thought to himself: the sir is the sir, 20 yuan is like 20 yuan to him, so light.

After all the important matters were dealt with, Yuan Pengfei stretched his waist and walked briskly through the side door of the mansion, going to the military camp next door to have fun with his soldiers.

In the past few years, he has not been idle. In addition to the replacement of new veterans, he has also updated weapons and recruited and trained more soldiers.

Now the regiment under his command is only a small infantry regiment, but its men and horses can match half a brigade of the Beiyang New Army, and its combat effectiveness can be compared to a division.

He even said that in order to cover up the large number of troops, the six battalions under his command were stationed in six places. Except for the battalion next to him, the others were stationed far away in the army camp in the countryside, not daring to show their heads.

Of course, now that he has the title of guardian envoy, he doesn't have to worry about causing trouble after exposing his strength.

In the military camp, except for those on guard duty, all other soldiers gathered in the center of the playground.The first battalion commander announced the inauguration of the president and the order for him, the regiment leader, to cut the pigtails, and then the pigtail cutting began with great fanfare.

But cutting off this braid is not such an easy task.

Because this braid is not a simple hair, it has been deeply rooted in the heart and has become one of the important organs of the human body.

It's like wearing shackles for a long time. You are not used to it at first, but later you get used to it. When you smash the shackles one day and you are free again, you feel uncomfortable, and even take the initiative to put the shackles back on.

The veterans that Yuan Pengfei brought from Yuanbao Town trusted him unconditionally. Of course, they were unambiguous in the face of such orders. Isn't it just a braid!

But for many people who have just joined the army for a short time, cutting this braid means breaking with conservative forces.Without the baptism of revolutionary theory, it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to do so.

Battalion Commander Lu Xu did not force them, but took the lead and wanted to be the first to cut their braids in front of the entire battalion.

He has also received a lot of new-style education, but sitting on the stool now feels like he is on the guillotine.My heart was beating fast, my breathing was short of breath, I was trembling, and my whole body was breaking out in cold sweat.

And when the barber behind him cut off his braid, it was as if he had chopped off his own head.

A moment later, when the barber's voice rang in his ears, he opened his eyes, touched the stubble on his head and smiled, feeling much more relaxed.

After taking over the big oily braid that had been hanging on his head, he slammed it to the ground in front of the whole battalion, "Brothers, make a good head, let the braid entangle on it, and suppress the unhappiness of the whole body. It's better to just cut off the braid instead of making a quick break."

"Yes."

The voices sounded sparsely, but only the backbone of each company's platoon were shouting.

Lu Xu was a little dissatisfied, his tiger eyes glared, and he shouted loudly: "Cut your braids! Cut your braids!"

"Cut the braids, cut the braids!"

This time, everyone shouted in unison.

"Sanjiang Guardian Envoy, Master Yuan is here!"

Everyone turned their eyes away, only to see Yuan Pengfei walking in slowly surrounded by a group of guards.

He reprimanded: "Guardian Commander Yuan is not Mr. Yuan."

"Hello, Captain!"

The soldiers of the whole battalion immediately straightened their chests and said hello in unison.

Yuan Pengfei also looked at the crowd with his head held high, "Hello, brothers, haven't you had time to cut your braids yet? Hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with the noon slaughtering pig dishes. It's not good if you're hungry."

The cooking team was also very good. The screams of the spotted pigs kept ringing. Two big fat pigs were scrapped, which was enough for these people to have a full meal.

"Brothers, I'll wait for you in the cafeteria. After cutting off the whip, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat fat meat. If I'm late, I might lose it." Yuan Pengfei waved his hand and went ahead.

Lu Xu suddenly said: "Brothers, is the commander's hairstyle handsome?"

"handsome!"

"Is it okay to learn from the leader?"

"it is good!"

It works from top to bottom, the immediate superiors have cut it, and the lower ones rely on others for food, how could it be possible not to cut it?

But Yuan Pengfei was a little confused when he heard the "handsome" sound. He touched the stubble on his head and asked the guard beside him, "Am I really handsome?"

"Captain, you are really handsome!"

"Yes, the leader of our regiment is the most handsome!"

If the minds of the guards said this, he could pretend to think they were right.But with the words of Chang County Magistrate below, he can't deceive himself.

"Marshal Yuan must be handsome. You are the most beautiful man in Sanjiangkou. If anyone dares to say no, I will always ask someone in person if he is blind!"
