Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Forty minutes later, the battle in the Green Shade Valley came to an end. The cavalry regiment, which the Fuso people were proud of and could wantonly crush the native Mongolian herdsmen who grew up on horseback, was hit by the steel torrent and the land was filled with wailing and corpses.

The remains and broken arms of the Fuso soldiers were scattered in the valley. Their blood gathered into a river, dyeing the tranquil Green Shade River red.

And this is just a microcosm of the entire Mongolian grassland battlefield.

Under Li Fei's strategic approach, the Fuso troops continued to suffer heavy losses and successive attacks. The supplies from Harlan City could not reach Bayan City at all. The main force of Fuso tried several times to hunt down small units of the Revitalization Division, but always failed. This inhuman torture, the feeling of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, almost drove Yamamoto Ryuki crazy.

The guerrilla warfare that lasted for about ten days caused more than 20,000 casualties to several major Fuso divisions. What was more serious was that they were about to run out of supplies and were at the end of their rope. At this time, Li Feier once again gathered his troops together, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Fuso main army that was exhausted and had no morale.

After Su Zhengyang stayed in Beilong City for several days, he was ready to march north with elite troops including the Six Towns of Northern Xinjiang and the First Army of the Duan faction to launch a full-scale counterattack against Fuso on the front line in the northeast.

At this time, in Lantian City, far south of Ganzhou in the northwest, the Chenhui Building is where the Northwest China Branch of the English Empire Far East Company is located.

It is located on North Street in Lantian City, a famous and prosperous place in Ganzhou. It is a landmark building in the entire Lantian City and is five stories high.

Although most of the British Empire's troops in the Far East Asia have been transferred back to the UK, the British expatriates and businessmen who remain in China still live a very comfortable life. After all, the idea that foreigners are superior to others has been deeply rooted in the hearts of most Chinese people.

At this time, outside the gate of Chenhui Building, Gou Changqing, deputy director of the Northwest Railway Bureau, and several staff members were stopped outside by the arrogant railway company security personnel.

"Shit! Get out of our Far East Railway Company, you cunning Chinese people, you want to buy half of the shares of Gannan Railway, but if you don't have 500 million dollars, don't even think about it!"

At this time, Powell, the head of the Gannan branch of the Far East Railway Company, who was wearing a black suit, looked at Gou Changqing indignantly, swearing constantly and directing the security personnel to drive them out.

Although Su Zhengyang issued an ultimatum to the Far East Railway Company, ordering it to purchase its shares for 100 yuan, Gou Changqing, the deputy director of the Northwest Railway Bureau who had a scholarly character, decided to talk to the Far East Company first. If he rashly used force, it might bring criticism to the Northwest Revolutionary Army and affect the international image of the Northern Frontier Government.

Who would have thought that before they had even officially entered the Chenhui Building, they would be unreasonably driven out by the other party.

Although the former British Empire has been in decline since the 18th century, the British have an innate arrogance in their bones and look down on the Chinese. Even with the precedent of the British Concession in Qingyun City, in the eyes of these British people, China is still a poor and backward country. Su Zhengyang is just an upstart supported by the Peace Company. He dared to act like this while Britain is mired in war. What a despicable man.

Powell did not give Gou Changqing any good look at all, and the curses he made became more and more vulgar and excessive. Bi Quan, the commander of the 126rd Battalion of the th Regiment of the th Army of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, who was responsible for protecting Gou Changqing's safety, could no longer bear it.

Bi Quan, along with several soldiers, strode forward and supported Gou Changqing, who was nearly falling down after being pushed by the Far East Company's security personnel. Then, with a fierce look in his eyes, he kicked a security guard in the chest, sending him flying.

The remaining seven or eight tall and strong white security guards immediately surrounded Bi Quan and were about to attack him. Powell kept shouting, "You damn bastard, this is the Far East Railway Company of the British Empire! This is not a place for you yellow monkeys to run wild!"

Bi Quan raised his eyebrows, pulled out his service pistol, and shot one of the security guards directly through the right knee with a clean shot.

The sudden dull gunshot startled everyone present. The soldiers under Bi Quan also raised their rifles and pointed them at the white security guards with serious expressions.

Bi Quan grinned, strode through the crowd, came to Powell, and grabbed Powell's collar.

Powell struggled and shouted with fear in his eyes: "Stop, you lowly yellow monkey, what do you want to do! I am a noble of the British Empire! The head of the Far East Company branch!"

"Don't you understand the situation? This is our Chinese land! It's the territory of our Northwest Revolutionary Army! You call me a yellow monkey, I'll tear your teeth apart!"

Bi Quan held Powell with one hand like a chicken, and with the other hand he picked up the butt of the pistol and hit Powell's mouth viciously. Blood gushed out immediately, and half of Powell's teeth were knocked out. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"The Governor is right. You white pigs are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong! The Governor originally told us to handle this matter with a tough attitude. It was Director Gou who wanted to save some face for you that made us come to negotiate. Since you are so shameless, I will just tear your face off!"

"All soldiers in the battalion, gather! Charge in here and rob their Far East Company. If the white pigs dare to resist, execute them on the spot!"

Under Bi Quan's order, a large number of soldiers filed in, knocked the British in the company to the ground extremely roughly with the butts of their rifles, and took control of the situation by force.

“The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets? Perhaps in other places in China, you can ride roughshod over the common people and call yourselves the upper class, but in the northern border, in the three northwestern states, our Northwest Revolutionary Army is the real ruler!”

Bi Quan used his actual actions to completely shatter the last bit of arrogance and dignity of Powell as a noble of the British Empire. The entire Far East Company was looted, and under Bi Quan's torture, Powell signed a humiliating agreement to sell half of the shares of Gannan Railway for one hundred dollars.

Facts have proved that these Western powers are actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. As long as you become tough, they are nothing more than paper tigers that look good but are useless.

Gou Changqing looked at Bi Quan who was imprisoned in the dungeon, begging him to let him go like a wild dog wagging its tail for mercy, with an unprecedented emotion emerging in his eyes.

Perhaps when facing such bandits and beasts who act recklessly on Chinese soil, only the barrel of a gun can make them surrender.

Su Zhengyang, who was far away in Beilong City, received a telegram from the Northwest Railway Bureau. He looked at the contents of the telegram and shook his head and laughed.

"This Gou Changqing always adheres to the principle of using words instead of fists and courtesy before force, and he expects these Western powers to sit down and reason calmly. Now he should finally understand that truth lies beneath the sword and dignity is only within the range of cannons."

"Xiao Qiao, prepare a generous gift. Tomorrow I will personally visit Mr. He Zhengnan, and the whole army will set out to the Northeast the day after tomorrow! I will make the ambitions of Fusang's prodigal sons completely shattered and make them pay the price with blood!"
