Chapter 69: Announcement**(Second update)

There are buffer zones agreed upon with the Beiyang Army in the northwest of the Jiangsu-Anhui political zone, namely Zaozhuang, Linxin, Shandong, Zhoukou, Henan, and Shangqiu. Now there are rebellions here.

"Zhou Yanan, what do you want to do?" In the Zaozhuang military camp, five lieutenant colonels and major battalion commander were sent by Zhou Yanan to detain him.

"What are you doing? Humph! Deng Sen is so mean to our army. We have already defected to the President, that is, His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. You guys are better off choosing now, otherwise I don't mind sending you to see the King of Hell!" Zhou Yanan was sure to win. The people under him were all confidants who had been through life and death with him. Now that they have controlled these Iron Blood Army officers, they naturally feel that there will be no accidents again.

"Hmph! Resigning to Yuan Shikai? A mere local regiment dared to challenge my Su'an government? Zhou Yanan I advise you to stop the horse faster, otherwise you will be the one who died in the end." A tied officer sneered. A mere Zaozhuang security regiment actually wanted to challenge the huge Su'an army, and was simply impatient to live.

"Is that so? But Wei Liao, you are in my hands now. As long as I give you an order, you will all die here!" Zhou Yanan hated Wei Liao, who has always been opposite to him in military management. It was Wei Liao who led his subordinates, who had been restraining him and prevented him from cultivating greater power.

"Do you really think you have control over everything here? Hum! You are so whimsical. No one in China can fight against the great head of state. You are overestimating your abilities. All you have to wait for is death." Wei Liao looked at Zhou Yanan contemptuously. These people can understand the power of Su'an and Wanzhengfu! And as an iron-blooded party member, Wei Liao would never do anything to betray Zhengfu.

"You really deserve to die! But do you think I really didn't take you down? Battalion Commander Zeng, do you think we can't completely control the troops?" Although Zhou Yanan was angry about what Wei Liao said, he immediately laughed and personally untied the rope of an officer next to Wei Liao. This man was one of the five officers from the Iron Blood Bureau.

"Zeng Xian didn't expect you to betray the Head of State!" The other four people looked at Zeng Xian and Zhou Yanan who came with him and smiled, and immediately understood that they were arrested this time because of Zeng Xian's invitation. It turned out that this person betrayed Deng Sen.

"Betrayal? What is betrayal? The President ascended the throne and became emperor. Look at him, Deng Sen said something. You are so devoted! Your Majesty is now powerful, and you can still be rich and prosperous after you surrender. I have been named the captain of loyalty and courage and rewarded with the viscount by Your Majesty. If you surrender at this time, you can still be forgiven and treated with preferential treatment. I advise you so much for the sake of the comrades. If you do not agree, you will be executed immediately!" Zeng Xian, who stood up, sneered. For the sake of power and interests, he did not care about the lives of these former comrades.

"Hmph! If you want to kill, kill, what's the point? As a member of the Iron Blood Party, the warriors of the Han nationality have long put life and death aside. Why bother to kill? The great head of state will definitely punish you, a shameless betrayer!" Wei Liao's face was firm. He believed that even if these people had the upper hand here for a while, they would be defeated when the Su-Anhui army approached. They had absolute trust in the Su-Anhui political army.

"You are really looking for death! Captain Zhou and others killed him directly?" Zeng Xian said to Zhou Yanan with a cold face when he saw that several people would rather die than obey.

"Kill? No, no... Your Majesty said that these officers will be returned to the King of Han later! Now detain them first, and immediately organize the army to search all pro-Suzhou and Anhui personnel, so they cannot interfere with our plan." Zhou Yanan did not agree with Zeng Xian's words. Although Yuan Shikai felt that Deng Sen could not attack him now, he did not dare to kill the officers of the Suzhou and Anhui officials, so they were all detained. At the same time, they arrested those people who supported the Suzhou and Anhui officials. They wanted to thoroughly clean up these areas. In these areas, the influence of the Suzhou and Anhui officials was too great.

"Open the door..." On the streets of Zaozhuang, teams of soldiers rushed into the houses frantically, and then searched without saying a word. Any information related to Su'an Zhengfu was searched, their family would be taken away, and the property would be confiscated and blocked. For a time, the whole Zaozhuang was very in chaos, and many gangsters also took the opportunity to rob. In the military camp, all officers and soldiers who were inclined to Su'an Zhengfu were taken into custody, as if Zaozhuang had really become the world of Zhou Yanan.

"Haha! This search led to arresting thousands of households, and the property alone was as high as one million. These merchants were indeed colluding with Su and Anhui!" Zaozhuang Zhengfu Building has now become Zhou Yanan's command center, and most of the civil affairs personnel sent by the former Jiangsu and Anhui Zhengfu were taken into custody.

"That's it! These people have colluded with Su Wan for so long, and they must be a lot of money. With so much money, even if we don't have this official position, it will be enough for us to be free for the rest of our lives!" Looking at the box of ocean, Zeng Xian, who had never seen so much money, laughed. He betrayed Deng Sen for this purpose.

"Yes! You said it well! Now we should act again. We should not use this money to recruit people. We will only be valued if we have a strong power!" Zhou Yanan despised this officer who had never seen money. When he first grabbed this person, Zhou Yanan only used a few gold bars and a few women. Zhou Yanan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who had no ambitions.

"What? Spend the money? Why?" Zeng Xian asked immediately when he heard that the money was going to be used.

"Of course, only by spending this money can we recruit more soldiers. Only when there are more soldiers, our status will be higher and more valued by His Majesty the Emperor. Zeng Xian should not only look at the present moment, but also look at the future!" Zhou Yanan still needs to use Zeng Xian now, so he did not instruct him, but explained to him softly.

"So that's it. I will support the leader of the group!" Zeng Xian was also aware of the current affairs. Although he still felt a little ache when he looked at these wealth, he knew that he had tied up Zhou Yanan's chariot.

In Zaozhuang Prison, four Iron Blood Army officers were sitting in the cell.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wei, what should we do now?" The other three officers looked at Wei Liao, the oldest among them.

"What should I do? You are all good, you didn't take this step! Humph! Zhou Yanan and Zeng Xian are simply seeking death by themselves! I, Su Wan Zhengfu, are so easy to defeat by them? Our people will come soon, and we can fight against the generals at that time! Anyone who betrays the political affairs will be punished the most severely!" Wei Liao is not an ordinary officer. He is also a member of the intelligence department. He is just an extra-staff member who is directly responsible to Deng Sen. Naturally, this incident has been notified of people like them, and the personnel of the intelligence department have been able to influence the development of the incident.

"Oh! Adjutant Qin! Why are you here?" Outside the cell, the old man nodded and looked at the officer with more than a dozen people in front of him. This man had already changed into the Beiyang Army uniform, but there was a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"The regiment commander asked me to mention the prisoner. You guys quickly open the prison door!" The adjutant surnamed Qin ordered to the old man.

"Yes! Adjutant Qin, please wait!" The adjutant of the Zaozhuang militia was the deputy regiment. However, in the Beiyang army sequence, the adjutant was just a confidant of the commander, but his status was also very high. It can be said that their words were equivalent to the order of the supreme commander.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wei, why are they here again?" Several people in the cell looked at each other, and didn't understand what Zhou Yanan did to them this time. They were just thrown into prison by Adjutant Qin, why is this person coming again.

"I don't know! It depends on the situation! I want to see what tricks they can play." Wei Liao was not afraid at all. He was not afraid of Zhou Yanan using any tricks.

"Come, take them away!" Walking into the cell, Adjutant Qin looked at the four Su Wanzheng officers and shouted to his subordinates.

"Yes..." The soldiers behind him responded and stepped forward to escort Wei Liao and others.

"Get out! I will leave by myself!" Everyone's face became solemn when they heard the tone of this man, but they all pushed away the soldiers who came to escort them and said proudly to Adjutant Qin.

"Hmph! I'm still so arrogant when I die! Why do I talk to Adjutant Qin?" However, before the adjutant surnamed Qin could speak, the prison head beside him was already cursing.

"Bang..." Just as the prisoner finished speaking, the horse whip in his hand was already whipped hard on his face, and he said coldly: "A mere prisoner, is there any part of your words here?"

"Yes, yes... Is it a little bitch!" The prison head was whipped, his face full of purple, but he did not dare to refute and hurriedly admitted his mistake to Adjutant Qin.

At this time, Adjutant Qin had turned his face and ignored him and said to the four Su Wanzheng officers: "You four are really arrogant, okay, let's go! You are no longer needed here!"

"Oh? Where are we going?" Wei Liao asked in confusion.

"Where to go? Of course, go where you should go, go quickly!" Adjutant Qin's face suddenly became very cold. He shouted coldly and took everyone out.

"Where are you going?" The team that escorted the four people was not far from the prison. Suddenly, one of the soldiers under Adjutant Qin's eyes dodged, as if they wanted to inform someone about the situation. They brought the four people out for no reason. Could something be happening? Therefore, the soldier wanted to notify his organization, but how could Adjutant Qin give him a chance? When he just left, Adjutant Qin's pistol had already pressed on his head.

"I! I... Adjutant Qin, I'm anxious to pee!" The captured soldier replied in a panic.

"Emergency? I think you are a spy from Su Wan Zhengfu!" Adjutant Qin sneered, pointed the pistol at the other party's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
