Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"I'm not bragging, but I have connections backing me up!"

"I am determined to become the military governor of Youzhou."

"Don't be fooled by the arrogant attitude of those brigade commanders under Commander Zheng. They don't take us out-of-town troops seriously at all."

“We security regiments and security brigades are fucking stepchildren.”

"After being incorporated, we were nominally all part of the Youzhou Army, but over the years, the Zheng family has never allocated us a single penny. We recruited our own soldiers and raised our own weapons."

As he spoke, Baldy Feng pointed disdainfully at the rank insignia on his shoulder: "From beginning to end, all Zheng has done is put on our shoulders a rank that can't even be traced back to the Imperial Military Affairs Department."

"To put it bluntly, if we really get serious, then my position as a major general and brigade commander is nothing but a joke!"

"That bastard Shen Moshen's colonel rank is registered with the Imperial Military Affairs Department, while we're basically unregistered..."

"Burp!" Baldy Feng let out a loud burp, reeking of alcohol.

"But things are different now. Do you see all those mountain cannons I brought today?"

"It's all foreign stuff. Once I take over all the surrounding territories, I'll lead my troops straight to Youzhou."

Clearly quite drunk, Baldy Feng became more talkative: "Let those brigade commanders of the 33rd Division fight each other to the death first, and then I'll sneak up behind them after they've fought to the last man!"

"High! It's really high!"

"The commander has set up a trap—when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." The adjutant beside him hurriedly poured wine for Baldy Feng, not forgetting to flatter him.

The wealthy and powerful men chimed in with their own flattery, each one more nauseating and outrageous than the last.

But these words sounded really good to Feng the Bald.................

Typical nouveau riche behavior – having just become wealthy, their temperament and mindset clearly haven't caught up yet.

Just as Feng the Bald and his men were drinking themselves into a stupor at Zui Man Lou...

The sudden sound of cannon fire completely ruined the atmosphere of the drinking party.................

"What's going on outside? Didn't they set off a cannon salute when they entered the city? Why the hell are they setting it off again?"

"Lieutenant Li! Go see what's going on! I was having a good time drinking and eating when some blind bastard started this commotion!"

At this point, the already heavily intoxicated Baldy Feng was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

He drank way too much today; he probably couldn't even stand up straight now..................

"Um... Lieutenant Li, go take care of that. Let's keep drinking! Nobody's leaving the table until we're all drunk!"

-------------------------------------

In just half an hour, the 398th Regiment, which had made a comeback, captured Qingcheng.

The current 398th Regiment is a whole regiment of the Great Qian Dynasty's D-country infantry regiment, well-equipped and highly trained.

Facing Feng Tuzi's 2000-plus rabble, it was basically a situation of easy kills and easy prey.

Despite Feng the Bald being called a brigade, he actually only had a total of less than 2500 men under his command.

If it weren't for the windfall he made and acquired a few mountain guns and a batch of light and heavy machine guns, the original 500 or so men of the 398th Regiment could have been dealt with by Baldy Feng.

After all, the 500 or so men of the 398th Regiment had been undergoing rigorous training under Shen Moshen's leadership for the past two years.

However, Feng the Bald, armed with his newly acquired weapons and equipment, launched a surprise attack before dawn, catching the original owner completely off guard...

This is a true elite force!

When they fight, they are incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Feng the Bald, who was so drunk he was like a lump of mud, didn't even have time to understand what was happening before he was thrown away by his group of "loyal" "brothers in arms".

Faced with a system force that was like a pack of tigers descending from the mountain, none of Feng the Bald had the time or inclination to care about Feng the Bald!

Phew!

A bucket of cold water was splashed on Baldy Feng's face.

Still drunk, Feng the Bald felt as if he was being lifted up.

Stimulated by the cold water, Feng the Bald slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw a familiar figure...

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Several slaps landed on Baldy Feng's face.

Then another bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

Now, the completely drunken Baldy Feng finally sobered up. Upon seeing who was in front of him, his anger flared immediately: "Lieutenant Li! Are you tired of living?! You dare pour water on my head?"

"I'll kill him..."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Who do you think you are, you bald bastard!" Lieutenant Li didn't hold back at all and slapped Feng Baldy across the face several times.

The speed at which he changed his expression and the shift in his attitude are absolutely astounding, even to women!

"Commander! I woke up that bald guy Feng!" The adjutant, who had just slapped Feng Dexiang, immediately put on a fawning expression: "That damned bald guy is a traitor who colludes with the enemy and digs up graves. The brothers have been fed up with him for a long time."

"This time, Baldy Feng has the support of the Salo people."

"The Salo people wanted to help Baldy Feng become the military governor of Youzhou, and then Baldy Feng would grant the Salo people the privileges of operating the railways and mining in Youzhou!"

"Shen Moshen!?" Upon seeing the scene before him, Baldy Feng immediately sobered up.

However, under the influence of alcohol, Baldy Feng is still unable to stand steadily.

Only then did Feng the Bald realize that he was being held by two soldiers whose eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Inside the large private room, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers were gathered.

Meanwhile, the wealthy gentlemen who had previously hosted a welcome banquet for them were now huddled in a corner, heads in their hands...

"You're not dead?" Baldy Feng looked at the unharmed Shen Moshen in disbelief.

At this point, he no longer had time to berate Lieutenant Li for betraying him.

"What? Disappointed, aren't you?" Shen Moshen, who had moved a stool and was sitting directly in front of Baldy Feng, looked at him with a playful expression.

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Commander Shen, there must be some misunderstanding here!"

"Have you forgotten? I treated you to a meal two years ago when you first came to Qingcheng..."

"I haven't forgotten! How could I forget that?" Shen Moshen smiled. "Back then, Brigade Commander Feng asked me to help take care of your opium business."

"When the caravans smuggling opium pass through Qingcheng, please do your people a favor."

"But I didn't agree. That's when my feud with Brigade Commander Feng began."

"am I right?"

"It's him! It's all Li Fugui's doing!" Feng Dexiang directly shifted the blame onto Li Fugui, who was standing to the side: "I entrusted the opium trade on the Qingcheng line to Li Fugui."

"That bastard is trying to sow discord and ruin our brotherhood! It's all a misunderstanding..."

Alright! Now we've finally found the root of the problem! Like boss, like underlings—it seems like they're just copying what they see!

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Lieutenant Li, standing to the side, was also a ruthless man. In front of everyone, he swore a vicious oath: "Commander, I swear to God—everything was personally ordered by that bald guy. We were all acting under orders! If I am lying, may I be cursed with childlessness and a terrible death!"

"Li Fugui! I'll fuck your grandpa....................."

"Alright, I'm not interested in this." Shen Moshen looked at the exasperated Feng Dexiang and changed the subject: "But we definitely need to settle this score from this morning."

"Old Feng, you've really gone all out! You've actually managed to get on the good side of the Sharo people. Upgrading from a slingshot to a cannon, you've really got some serious guts!"

"Do you know what kind of people I hate the most? Those who collude with the enemy!"

"Anyone who betrays their country and colludes with the enemy for their own selfish gain deserves to be executed!"

"Commander Shen, please don't listen to Li Fugui's side of the story! I...I...I..."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

With that, Shen Moshen stood up: "Even without this incident, I still have to avenge the more than 500 brothers who died tragically!"

"Someone! Send Brigade Commander Feng on his way properly."

"Then hang the corpse on the city tower for three days as a public display!"
