The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"What!!?"

At this moment, Xu Zhenlin, who was meeting a guest in the office, was surprised when he heard the words. His relaxed and playful smile disappeared, and he confirmed very eagerly.

"My dear, this is not a joke. Are you serious?"

"How can I joke with you at this hour?" Xu Linlin frowned at her father's questioning and couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up and find a solution, or more people will die."

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away."

After confirming the truth of the matter, Xu Zhenlin's expression became extremely solemn.

A brigade commander and a county magistrate actually started fighting?

This is really unexpected. When did the county magistrate of the Duan faction become so capable that he could compete with a regular elite brigade?

"What's going on? Is Linlin getting into trouble outside again?"

At this time, the two generals in the reception area smiled gently and comforted him.

"Children like to play around, it's not a big deal. Everyone has gone through a period of youth."

"No, no, no, that's not the case."

Xu Zhenlin quickly walked to the sofa, sorted out his thoughts, looked at the two of them and asked.

"Hey guys, have you ever heard of the name Zhang Ye? It sounds familiar to me."

"who!?"

Huang Weize, who was happily comforting the other person in the previous second, suddenly changed his expression after hearing the name of his beloved disciple, and thousands of thoughts instantly emerged in his mind.

No way, this kid offended Lao Xu’s daughter just one day after arriving in Beijing?

This little bastard is such a worry. How can he be so arrogant?

"Why? Do you know Lao Huang?"

After seeing that Old Huang's reaction was too intense, Xu Zhenlin quickly conveyed the message from his daughter.

"Linlin just called and said they were at the same dinner party. Zhang Ye and Mo Tianhua from the Feng faction are arguing with each other. The two have gathered thousands of troops and have already started fighting outside the county town. What's going on?"

"Declare a war with Mo Tianhua? I don't understand this either."

Huang Weize was also confused and had no idea what to do after hearing what he said.

How is this guy related to Mo Tianhua?

Will the action be carried out outside the county seat? Jingshan County or Fushui County?

In order to find out what was going on as soon as possible, Lao Huang no longer sat there waiting for death. Instead, he got up and ran to the phone on his desk, called the relevant intelligence department, and ordered them to investigate what was going on.

These two people can command thousands of people to fight at a dinner party, and their style is even more awesome than that of the war zone commander!

If this matter is not severely punished, who knows how crazy he will become in the future.

A minute later, after the call ended and while waiting for the intelligence department to inquire, Lao Huang took this opportunity to give a brief account of Zhang Ye's situation to the two people around him.

When Xu Zhenlin heard that this person was Huang Weize's student, he felt a little relieved, and a different look appeared in his eyes.

"Old Huang, you didn't get involved in this, did you? How could a county magistrate like him get the manpower to start a war with Mo Tianhua?"

"You must tell the truth. This matter concerns the political relationship between the two families and cannot be taken lightly."

"Lao Xu, what you said is just an insult."

Huang Weize spread his hands, his old face full of grievance and helplessness, and explained.

"The three of us have been in a meeting since noon. I don't have time to get involved in this."

"Besides, the people Zhang Ye has are all recruited by himself. He made a lot of money from the bandit suppression and house raids some time ago, so it makes sense for him to get some decent guns and cannons."

"Hiss... then this guy is no ordinary guy." After hearing his explanation, Xu Zhenlin became curious about Zhang Ye. "It's only been a little over a month since he took office. He's already suppressed bandits and confiscated homes, recruited the county security team, and appeased the people."

"The land distribution and free schools a while ago were also his doing, right? It made quite a big fuss, I've heard a little bit about it."

"This kid is good. He can play with it clearly."

"Haha, it's just a little clever."

When Huang Weize heard that his beloved disciple was praised, he felt proud and took the opportunity to start recommending him in disguise.

"But then again, although this child has a somewhat impulsive personality, he's still quite capable. He's decisive and resolute, able to make decisions at critical moments, and he's wholeheartedly dedicated to serving his country and his people."

"Well, that's good. There aren't many students that you, Old Huang, can talk about."

Xu Zhenlin nodded seriously, still remembering the name "Zhang Ye" in his heart.

He knew Huang Weize very well. He had average abilities and mediocre political skills. The reason why he could get to where he is today was largely due to his teaching ability.

Since taking up his post at the Baocheng Military Academy, Huang Weize alone has trained dozens of civilian officers for the Duan Department.

After these people were transferred to various grassroots units, their reputations were quite good. Some of them even took on important responsibilities and became capable generals at the division and brigade levels.

It is also for this reason that Lao Huang has a very good network of contacts in Beijing. Anyone who is short of people will look for him first and ask him to help recommend suitable people.

Over time, Huang Weize became a famous "mentor" of the Duan family. No matter whether they were the second generation of officials from powerful families or ordinary grassroots military officers, they all wanted to achieve a leap in power through his recommendation.

However, he doesn't take every job. In the past two years, as more and more students have been sent out, Lao Huang has become quite cautious in his words.

No matter who he is talking to, he always tells them to keep 70% for 30% of the score, and very few students can get his praise.

Soon, staff from the General Staff arrived with the latest news from the intelligence department.

When Xu Zhenlin saw Mo Tianhua using two elite companies disguised as bandits with the intention of breaking through Jingshan County, his face almost turned green with anger.

"Look at this bastard, he's really lawless. He openly sent troops to attack the city disguised as bandits. Do they really think we are fools?"

"Come here, send a message to the Donglu headquarters to dispatch a main force regiment directly to Jingshan County..."

"Hey wait, don't be impatient!"

At the critical moment, Huang Weize stood up, first drove away the adjutant at the door, then turned around and looked at Xu Zhenlin, who was angry, and persuaded him.

"Lao Xu, we can't interfere in this matter now, otherwise, there will be no end to it."

"Old Huang, they're riding on our necks and shitting, and you can't stand it?" Xu Zhenlin put his hands behind his back and snorted angrily, "Just now I thought they were just having a quarrel, but now it seems that Mo Tianhua is just picking a fight and bullying Zhang Ye because he has no subordinates!"

"He's your student. If he loses this battle today, you, Old Huang, will be embarrassed too!"
