"Brother Liu, don't be too optimistic. Can Zhang Zuolin beat Duan Zhigui and Yuan Shikai? At the beginning, I was absolutely unreliable with a beard. Now it has come true. Maybe someone surnamed Zhang wants to eat us. !"

Immediately, someone raised his own doubts, and others were talking about it. Liu Shucheng's face was livid. He was already tied to the 27th Division, and he could only place his hopes on them at the critical moment.

It was not the first time they encountered such a situation, the last time they were also detained by Gao Ming, soon Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Zuolin brought people to rescue them, and they did not suffer any grievances.However, Liu Shucheng also knew that this time the situation was different from the past. Duan Zhigui represented Yuan Shikai, and he was playing for the old Yuan. Whether Zhang Zuolin could withstand it was really unknown!

Liu Shucheng could only secretly send a buddy to spread the news. In fact, without him spreading the news, the whole Fengtian was already boiling.Instigated his subordinates to control the headquarters of Xingye Company, His Royal Highness Duan was obviously not satisfied, so he stepped up his actions and blocked Fengtian Chamber of Commerce, asking all businessmen to contribute funds.

Duan Zhigui's actions were simply kidnapping and blackmailing, no different from gangsters, and soon the news spread throughout Fengtian.Originally, the public opinion in Fengtian became very turbulent because of the issue of the vote, but now there is unprecedented blackmail, and the people of Fengtian are finally angered.

The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and many business representatives stood up, appealing to everyone to go to the Governor's Mansion to petition, asking Duan Zhigui to release him, and at the same time return the reserve fund of the official bank, and secure the vote!

Not only the people moved, but even the newspapers stepped up their actions. The streets and alleys were full of newsboys waving newspapers and yelling loudly.All these newspapers scolded Duan Zhigui for his barbaric behavior, and even people like Liba, the driver, knew that if Duan Zhigui was allowed to make such a fuss, Fengtian would really be doomed.

Fengtian was boiling, but Zhang Tinglan seemed confident and not in a hurry.In front of him stood a man, two women and three people, they were Qiao Ruixuan brother and sister, and Liu Shucheng's daughter Liu Xiu'e, they were not as calm as Zhang Tinglan.

Especially Liu Xiu'e, her father was arrested again, which made the little girl extremely frightened, with tears welling up in her eyes, making her look like pear blossoms with rain.

"Young Master Zhang, I beg you to think of my father's running around for you, think of a way to save him!"

"Miss Liu, my elder brother is doing things for me. If you can't even keep him, how can you hang around in Fengtian? Don't worry!"

Zhang Tinglan first gave Liu Xiu'e a reassurance, and then said: "The businessmen in Fengtian used to be a mess. Facing the pressure of the government and the bullying of foreigners, they have no ability to resist. The current world is a bloody jungle law, and the weak are prey to the strong, isn't it?" I bite you to death, it is you who eat me, I hope that through this time, Fengtian merchants can understand the importance of uniting and fighting together."

Qiao Lanyun's big eyes flickered a few times, and her face finally calmed down: "Young Master Zhang, have you already made up your mind? The news spread to Fengtian so quickly, and the public opinion was uproarious. It must be your handwriting, right?"

"Duan Zhigui is carrying Shang Fang's sword, representing Yuan Shikai. It is clear that confrontation is not acceptable. We can only use public opinion as a breakthrough. At that time, Master Zhang will be able to mediate."

After Zhang Tinglan said this, they all understood, but Liu Xiu'e still couldn't relax.

"Young Master Zhang, my father is still under their control, is there any danger?"

"Duan Zhigui is asking for money, not murder. If he doesn't get the money, he won't kill him. And I also arranged for soldiers to watch outside. If they dare to act recklessly, they will be killed!"

Everyone has a slavish nature, especially those businessmen who have been squeezed by all sides, and have long become slippery and weak.In order to survive, some of them make compromises, and some even make trouble for tigers. No matter what, this kind of businessmen have lost their aggressiveness, and they cannot adapt to the wave of industrialization at all.

Zhang Tinglan also wanted to use this opportunity to stimulate these people and at the same time make them truly identify with Zhang Zuolin from the bottom of their hearts.Lao Zhang's coming to power is just around the corner, and Fengtian's large-scale construction is just around the corner. At this time, it is necessary to unify the mind, so Zhang Tinglan is willing to let Duan Zhigui make a fuss, and he is even behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

Qiao Ruixuan and the others got a guarantee from Zhang Tinglan, and they finally had a bottom line.Immediately, they also contacted everywhere to mobilize Fengtian businessmen, and the businessmen who were squeezed in every possible way finally reached the point where they couldn't bear it anymore.

If Duan Zhigui can blackmail others, he can blackmail himself. If he can blackmail once, he can blackmail twice. If he shrinks back at this time, he may never have the chance to resist again.

Soon most of Fengtian's businessmen mobilized, only a few weak and selfish guys remained indifferent.On the second day, a large parade appeared on the streets of Fengtian. The major businessmen were not alone, there were also many young men, Mr. Accountant, and all of them took to the streets.

In addition, they also had several important allies, workers from the canning factory, textile workers brought by Song Zhongyi from Beijing, and construction workers from the North Market all joined in.These workers were obviously much more organized than others. They were neatly dressed and walked vigorously, and soon became the backbone of the parade.

Thousands of angry merchants rushed towards the Dudu's Mansion, and the momentum was terrifying.In previous Fengtian parades, the students were the vanguard, and most of the others were just watching.This time the situation is completely different. Merchant workers acted as the main force, with significantly higher organization and greater impact.

These people chanted loud slogans and blocked all the streets in front of the Governor's Mansion. Many reporters also took photos here, and soon a masterpiece would appear in the newspapers.

Duan Zhigui was in the mansion at this time, he never expected that these businessmen would set off such a strong backlash, and the ashes from the ceiling were shaken off by the sound of slogans.His Highness Qian fidgeted immediately, and he hastily ordered Lu Lin to call in more troops to protect his safety.

The big army appeared, and things got out of hand!

Chapter 89 Single Swordsmen

The parade gathered from all the streets and alleys. There were so many people that it was difficult to count.After that, the whole Fengtian was shaken. Apart from the main industrial and commercial people, many common people also joined in, making the parade unprecedentedly large.

These ordinary people are also full of hatred for Duan Zhigui, and the issue of receiving votes has caused them heavy losses. Now that someone is taking the lead, the ordinary people are very willing to vent.

Duan Zhigui's guards were already alarmed when the parade arrived outside the Governor's Mansion. They piled sandbags around the gate of the mansion at the intersection. Behind the sandbags, there were a large number of guards armed with live ammunition.

Seeing that they could no longer move forward, these marching people simply stopped and shouted slogans.

"Release him immediately, and pay back my blood and sweat!"

Thousands of people shouted together, the momentum was frightening, and those guards were also very nervous. Don't look at them holding weapons, but the difference in the number of the two sides is really too big. If something happens, I'm afraid It's a catastrophe.

Duan Zhigui could also hear clearly in the mansion that this His Highness was ruthless when trying to make money, but when the real crisis came, he had no idea.

He kept circling on the ground, like a donkey pulling a mill. Fortunately, at this time Lu Lin led his subordinates to the outside of the Governor's Mansion. Lu Lin led a total of more than 300 soldiers and more than 100 policemen.

Their menacing appearance finally gave the guards a sigh of relief. Lu Lin commanded his subordinates to form a solid human wall to separate the parade.

He rode a tall horse with a whip in his hand, and came to the front of the parade arrogantly, and said contemptuously: "Listen, you bastards, roll wherever you go, if you dare to act wild again, I know you, but not the whip." you!"

Speaking of which, Lu Lin flicked a crisp whip, and everyone nearby felt their ears tremble.

"Sir, we are here to see General Duan. We want to appeal to him. Please pass it on!" Qiao Ruixuan spoke on behalf of everyone.Immediately, many people agreed with him and shouted, asking to meet Duan Zhigui.

Lu Lin stared at the triangular eyes, and pointed at the crowd with his whip in his hand: "What are you all, the general is as easy as you want to see, get out of here as soon as possible, don't make yourself uncomfortable!"

When Qiao Ruixuan saw Lu Lin obstructing him, he took out another Wanyan book from his pocket, which had the fingerprints of Fengtian merchants on it.He raised his hands and sent it to Lu Lin.

"Sir, since you don't want us to meet the general, please hand over this petition to the general. This is the voice of tens of thousands of people in Fengtian. Please do me a favor!"

This guy Lu Lin snorted contemptuously: "Boy, don't you understand people's language? The general has a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't have time to look at nonsense stuff. Who is the opinion of the people? Tell you, it's worthless, give it all to me." Get out of here!"

"This is the Republic of China, we must respect public opinion, even the president is no exception!"

Seeing that Lu Lin was arrogant and domineering, the people of Fengtian were completely enraged. Anger appeared in their eyes. Even in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they would not dismiss Wanminshu. This paragraph of Zhigui is too deceptive.

"The Republic of China? What is the Republic of China? President Yuan Da is the Republic of China!"

Speaking of which, Lu Lin waved the horsewhip in his hand, and knocked Wanyan Shu to the ground, right into the muddy ditch beside him.

Lu Lin didn't care at all, and continued: "The president has become the emperor, and the world belongs to the president. You bastards, be honest with me..."

Lu Lin was still talking, when there was a slap, an object just hit his left eye, sticky and smelly liquid flowed down, it was a rotten chicken.I don't know who threw it in a panic, and it just hit Lu Lin in the eye.

The guy who was arrogant just a second ago changed his appearance in an instant. Everyone present couldn't help laughing. Lu Lin was also completely enraged. Just pulled it off.

When the whip came down, two or three ordinary people were beaten to pieces. It was so miserable. Lu Lin was furious, and then swung the whip one after another, wounding more than a dozen people in an instant.

This completely enraged the parade crowd, a few young and strong rushed to the front, while Lu Lin was waving the whip, he grabbed the whip, and then another person rushed up, everyone worked hard together, all at once He pulled Lu Lin off the horse.

This time Lu Lin fell a dog gnawing shit, and the surrounding people rushed up and beat up this domineering guy.Lu Lin also brought a lot of people over, and those soldiers with live ammunition did not dare to shoot casually, after all, they might accidentally injure Lu Lin.The more than 100 policemen were obliged to do so. They swung their batons and rushed forward, trying to rescue Lu Lin.

The two sides immediately fought. There were many young men with strong skills in front of the parade. They grabbed sticks, bricks and other objects and fought with the police.These policemen didn't expect that the other party would be so powerful. In an instant, many people were beaten so that their parents screamed.

The gate of the Governor's Mansion was like a pot of porridge, and the enthusiasm of the parade people was completely aroused. They kept rushing forward, and the battle became more and more fierce.

At this time, Lu Lin, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen, managed to crawl out from the crowd. This guy was bruised and purple all over, and his eyes were swollen like peaches.

Lu Lin was already mad with anger, he frantically ran to the gate of the mansion, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot.But he hasn't lost his mind yet. After all, there are hundreds of policemen and marchers entangled with each other, and he can't kill even his own people.

So they first fired warning shots, and suddenly there was a loud gunshot in front of the mansion, and the merchants who were marching were also frightened. Just when they were stunned, the police ran out scrambling, and some of them were unlucky The eggs were simply dragged out by their companions.

When Lu Lin saw that his men had run out, he hurriedly ordered that the guns be pointed at the common people, and they were about to shoot!At this critical juncture, gunshots rang out from behind the parade, and Lu Lin was taken aback.
