"The autumn exercise in Hejian is imminent, and I also ask Brother Chenxuan to select the elite, form a mixed standard, and participate in the exercise on time. Xiang Cheng is also looking forward to it, and he will hunt with Chen Xuan's brother. Looking at the telegram in his hand, Wu Chenxuan felt that this autumn exercise was a good opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Who to send?" He Laoba asked heartlessly, completely ignoring the cannibalistic gazes of several colleagues around him. After the great redeployment of generals in the spring of this year and the expansion of the army, the Wuyi New Army has actually set up a shelf of six towns. Wu Luzhen, the ruler of Zuozhen of the Wuyi New Army, had a total of 15,000 troops under his command of three standard infantry, one standard artillery, one standard baggage and one battalion of cavalry. The right town is also a similar troop deployment, and the right town rule is Duan Zhiquan, who nominally belongs to Beiyang, but Duan Qirui is now Wu Chenxuan's chief of staff, so the affairs of the right town are all represented by Du Zicheng, the deputy ruler. The town of the new army has also set up a shelf, but only the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers have not yet filled in the soldiers, the whole town is only five or six thousand troops, and the weapons are also used in the eliminated Manlixia rifle and the Guangdong ordnance imitation of the Green fast cannon, but the equipment of the artillery standard is the same as that of other towns, just waiting for those coolies in the capital to fill it, and it is currently handed over to Xiao Heizi, the deputy ruler. The other troops were turned into the supplementary association of the three towns, in fact, the other three towns of the Wuyi New Army, the former town was handed over to Lan Tianwei, and the back town was Wu Ziyu in charge, and the control of the wing town should have been Yang Shihai, but Yang Shihai chose to retire from active service and transferred to the director of the ordnance factory, so he had to appoint Zhang Shaozeng to act as the commander of the wing town. The name of these three towns has not yet been recognized by the imperial court, and they have to be stationed in various places in the name of the supplementary association, and the strength is only 5,000, but it is also prepared as a shelf force, and the proportion of veterans is very high, plus they take turns to participate in the sergeant class of Zaolin Military Academy, so as to ensure that the expansion of the army will not encounter a shortage of officers and non-commissioned officers.

"Either the three towns on the left, the center and the right, each town will have a battalion, and then the three posts of the supplementary association will be transferred and combined into the fourth battalion, and the artillery base will be responsible for producing an artillery battalion, and the cavalry will also produce a battalion. How is it? Although Duan Qirui has been internally recognized as the chief of staff, he does not have his direct subordinates, and he has more consideration in arranging the troops, and he doesn't want to offend the head of any town. It seems that this wicked person still has to be done by me, Wu Chenxuan thought of this and opened his mouth.

"The chief of staff's plan is very sound, and if this happens, it will definitely be able to fully demonstrate the strength of our new army." Wu Chenxuan first supported Duan Qirui's work, otherwise it would be difficult to establish the authority of this airborne chief of staff, how to manage the elite soldiers under him. "I also have an idea that I don't really want to discuss with you. This exercise should be a common practice in Beiyang, and the self-improvement army, Hubei New Army, and Jiangxi New Army have also been invited to participate in the exercise. ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng beside him looked a little unnatural, after all, they were still the Beiyang officers sent by Beiyang to take over Youzhen in name, but the real situation was that Beiyang had already let go of the kite string, and this old Duan and Xu Shuzheng had already opened their bows and had no turning back. Wu Chenxuan also smiled at Duan Qirui and signaled him not to mind. Lao Duan followed Yuan Shikai's small station to train soldiers, and after a few years of superiors and subordinates, he could guess a thing or two about Yuan Shikai's thoughts, and naturally understood the Tao.

"Could it be that Beiyang wants to weigh the weight of our Wuyi New Army?" Although Xiao Heizi acted as the agent of Zhongzhen, his soldiers and horses did not suffer much loss, and he actually had opinions about the growing power of the Beiyang Chinese in the new army of Wuyi. His master Du Zicheng was unable to hold the main position because of Lao Duan, and he was the acting deputy commander of Zhongzhen, which was obviously insufficient compared to Duan Qirui and others, which also made Xiao Mingfeng have a potential hostility towards Beiyang.

"It is estimated that Brother Xiang Cheng is a little curious about how much of a wave he can make for the foundation he helped us leave when he was in Jinan." Wu Chenxuan said with a smile, "I think it's better to randomly choose a mark from your middle town, I don't know if you Xiao Heizi dare to accept this military order." ”

"What are you afraid of, I'm afraid that those Beiyang gangs will bite Lao Tzu's ball"

"Ahem" "Uh-uh" A coughing sound cut off Xiao Mingfeng's indecent speech.

"Okay, you Xiao Heizi, don't play tricks if you have a kind, how about choosing a target to go to the autumn exercise now?" Wu Chenxuan simply used the agitation method. Xiao Heizi's temper is like a battle, where he can withstand agitation, and he stands up with a pat on his thigh.

"Okay, presidential, you are serious."

"There is no joke in the army."

"Okay, I took the boss's military order, Xiao Heizi. Brothers, little brother admit it, admit it. "Dare to love this guy is pretending to be stupid and stupid, so as to steal this business.

"Xiao Heizi, you return my howitzer battalion. Damn, you're going to pat your thigh, it's so heavy, Lao Tzu's legs are about to be broken by your family. He Laoba glanced at Xiao Heizi in vain, and remembered that one of his heavy artillery battalions was still practicing infantry and artillery coordination tactics with Xiao Heizi, but he had to come back.

"No problem, I Xiao Heizi can still rely on your account. You will give me a base amount of ammunition, and when you come back from the autumn exercise, you will return a complete heavy artillery battalion. "Dare to love this guy has already hit the idea of He Laoba's heavy artillery battalion, this time Lao Ba is considered to have lost his wife and broken his soldiers, not only the twenty-seven Krupp howitzers have to give Xiao Heizi a trick, but also spare a base of ammunition. He Laoba, who has always been slamming the door, was distressed and almost copied Xiao Heizi's nest, but the jujube wood bar wine that was aged in Wuding Mansion for more than a dozen jars for eight years on Xiao Heizi could barely reach a settlement. Wu Chenxuan said in his heart that several towns in Beiyang can be regarded as blessed now, if they are fired with live ammunition, I don't know if these 100-millimeter heavy artillery can let the generals of Beiyang stay in the Haihe River.

In the midst of the noisy shouting, Wu Chenxuan and Duan Qirui reached an agreement, and according to Wu Chenxuan's opinion, they chose the first bid from Zhongzhen to participate in the exercise, and He Laoba's artillery battalion was considered a temporary loan, and it was also counted as the first target to participate in the establishment, and the cavalry chose a battalion at will. The baggage soldiers were also drawn from Zhongzhen, led by Xiao Heizi, and He Dazhuang and Xu Shuzheng participated together as assistant officers. Waiting for everyone to follow the dissolution of the meeting to pull Xiao Heizi to Desheng Building to set up a table of Zhuangxing wine (in fact, he wanted Xiao Heizi to bleed and make up for the scars of the other towns), Wu Chenxuan stopped Duan Qirui and explained, Lao Duan didn't have a mustard in his heart, but because of Wu Chenxuan's special explanation, Lao Duan felt for the first time that in this collective, the boss still attached great importance to himself. Looking at the high-spirited old Duan, Wu Chenxuan also planned to let go of the Wuyi New Army for a while.

The new army expanded, military spending was tight, and the chamber of commerce was able to supply 30,000 new troops, but the new army suddenly expanded to 70,000 or 80,000 troops in six towns, and the pressure increased greatly, and the Shandong Chamber of Commerce was also a little unable to support it. Ordinary members don't know, but the directors of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce know that the gap in insufficient military spending is almost half, and it is all supported by the "standard system" dividends that Wu Chenxuan distributed from Lao A. Wu Chenxuan is very sensitive to trouble, just like a dog bites a person, as long as he opens his teeth, he will not be able to keep his mouth, this troublesome soldier, if he encounters difficulties in the future, the first idea is not to share weal and woe with the army, but to make trouble and threaten, and the existence of such an army is a hidden danger. It's hard to throttle money now, but what about open source? It is also confined to Shandong, where the financial pressure is huge, and there is no other solution except to open up new tax sources, and it is time to rush out of Shandong to the whole country.

Not to mention that Xiao Heizi took one of his own standards and dozens of cannons, and walked majestically on the official road of Dongchang Mansion. It is said that a sick and weak young man was unloaded by a sea boat, transferred to a tugboat, and rushed to the Jinan Fu wharf on the Xiaoqing River day and night. In the evening of this day, the northeast wind has begun to blow in Jinan in late autumn, and our boss Wu Chenxuan is waiting on the dock with Xiong Fenghuang, Huang Xinpei, Zhang Nanjiang and others who have helped him take charge of government affairs.

"Old Xiong, who is this sacred? Everyone is waiting here," Wu Yuncheng, who had just arrived, asked. Xiong Xiling twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Although this person is weak in age, but he has 20,000 words, a copy of "Revolutionary Army" has spread all over the country, and in the "Su Bao" case, he surrendered to the court. ”

"It's Mr. Zou Rong." Wu Yuncheng looked happy, as if he wanted to meet the fans of his idol. How did this Wu Yuncheng come to Shandong? It turned out that after the "Su Bao" case, the Chinese Education Association was also targeted by the Qing court, in order to avoid the arrest of the Qing court, Cai Yuanpei still went to sea, this time did not go to Japan, but took a boat to Qingdao, Shandong, lived in Qingdao, and set up Qingdao University Hall and Qindao Girls' School. And Wu Yuncheng also fled with Cai Yuanpei, but he didn't stay long in Qingdao, so he took the train to Jinan Mansion. It turned out that Wu Chenxuan had secretly sent a letter to his family, inviting him to teach in Shandong University Hall, and concurrently serving as the secretary of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, inviting him to discuss the road of Western business governance.

"Mr. Zou is very weak, he has an infection in his lungs, and the blood phase is very high, I am afraid there is a possibility that the infection will spread." Dr. Yang from Tzu Chi Hospital in Germany shook his head regretfully after the examination, "May God bless you, this is what you need now." ”

After Dr. Yang left, several other people who looked at the unconscious young man also regretted his talent. Waiting for Xiong Fenghuang and the others to disperse one after another, Wu Chenxuan and Du Niang carried him to the garage of the standard factory. A short time later, a horse-drawn carriage galloped out of the standard factory and headed for the base to the west.

"Where am I?" Zou Rong gradually woke up, looking at the strange light around him and the soft cushions under him, he wondered, "Could it be that you are under the Yellow Spring?" The environment here is good. ”

"My Mr. Ma, speaking of which, we are really under the Yellow Spring, but not in the underworld." Wu Chenxuan came in with a smile, "Mr. Zou, are you feeling better?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wu, it's much cooler in the lower body."

"Okay, Mr. Zou, what I say below is a prophecy for you, but history for me. Please swear to keep this a secret for the rest of your life. Wu Chenxuan said with a serious face.

Since the moment Zou Rong was sent out of prison by the guards of Tilanqiao Prison in the name of the prisoner's death, Zou Rong also realized that there seemed to be a huge secret in it, knowing that his life was saved by the other party, and keeping the other party's secrets was also the way of a gentleman, so he swore in the name of a pawn in the revolutionary army.

Looking at the high-tech products in front of him, which seemed to have never been seen even in his dreams, soon the holograms of historical pictures unfolded, and Zou Rong's mind was attracted by the picture in front of him, and he rose and fell in the whirlpool of history.

"After reading the history of the ten years since your death, I don't know how Mr. Zou feels." Wu Chenxuan and Zou Rong, who had gradually calmed down, drank coffee together, although this kind of charcoal burning was not suitable for Zou Rong, who was recovering from a serious illness.

"After experiencing life and death, it seems that the original impassioned passion is like a passing cloud." Zou Rong said quietly: "I didn't expect that the blood of tens of millions of our revolutionary youths would be betrayed by the Nanjing government to Yuan Shikai, the thief who stole the country, and became a tool for them to change the dynasty, I am really unwilling." I think that after all these things, the revolutionary youth must not only have the fearless spirit of daring to sacrifice themselves for the world, but also have a clear mind so that they will not be used as gunshots. ”

"In that case, as you can see, I have mastered technology that no country or organization in this world has." Wu Chenxuan put down the cup and stared at Zou Rong with his eyes, "I plan to accumulate strength, rebuild Shenzhou, and establish a Great China that is not dependent on any foreign power." Now that Zou Rong is dead, I will give you a code name called Tie Liu, hoping to use your propaganda talents to guide the hot-blooded young people in the correct direction of the revolution, so that their blood will not be shed in vain, let alone become a bargaining chip for careerists. ”

"From now on, there is no Zou Rong, only Tie Liu" Zou Rong said very resolutely: "Tie Liu should use the pen as a weapon to arouse tens of millions of young people to fight ceaselessly for the ideal Chinese harmony." Presidential, Tieliu is ready to take your orders at any time. ”
