"Lu Shuai, we're here." The second lieutenant who accompanied him to the plane saluted, which made Lu Rongting, who was still watching the beautiful scenery of the rising sun outside the window, come back to his senses, a little impressive. Lu Rongting is not a dirt bun, he has naturally seen airplanes, but he always thinks that the kind of reconnaissance plane shown to him by the French is a big kite, the skeleton of pine wood does not even have skin, a pilot sits in the seat of the plane, his feet are still hanging outside the plane, and the one in the back seat is even more miserable kneeling in the open cockpit, and the plane looks like it is about to be thrown out when there is a big movement. This large kite is also the latest artillery school shooting aircraft of the French, and it is said that there are only a few dozen of them in France.

After being captured last night, when his son Lu Yuguang was also brought in, Lu Rongting knew that this time he was completely planted. However, Lu Yuguang sat in his seat and gave orders, while he himself was escorted to a car and went straight to a farm outside Guilin. In the car, Lu Rongting felt a lot more relieved, at least he would not lose his life, and he began to wonder about the origin of these people, why he had just declared the independence of Guangxi only forty-eight hours, and the king of Guangxi was arrested before he became a three-day king. In addition to the scholars in the Nanjing government, there are some party members, if there are such elite soldiers, what kind of revolution will there be, and the Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor will be arrested together. When he got on the plane, he understood that the person who could have such an advanced aircraft in the world was the chief Wu of the standard department, and there was no other semicolon for this family. But it seems that Wu Chenxuan is not involved in the independence of Guangxi, after all, the independence of his own people can help him set up another imperial court in the north, and the Nanjing government has to negotiate with its own provinces first, isn't it a very beneficial thing for Wu Chenxuan who is in the north? Why did he want to help the Nanjing government to exterminate himself?

"Please get in the car." The tone is polite, but Lu Rongting doesn't think he can refuse, these guys with bowler hats and black leather trench coats look even more eerie and terrifying than those soldiers, now they are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what else can I say? Getting into the standard car, four men in leather clothes sat in the car, and the two people in the back seat were holding their leather clothes on the left and right, needless to say, they were also muzzles. There was also a truck in the back, the soldiers on the car were all wearing iron helmets, shining in the morning light, and the long bullet chain on the machine gun in the pocket of the three-wheeled motorcycle in front made Lu Rongting feel that it was better for someone else to rescue him, but it was just a waste of his life.

"Lu Shuai, come, please take a seat." Wu Chenxuan, who was dressed in an iron-gray uniform but did not have a military rank, sat on the sofa, and hurriedly got up to greet Lu Rongting when he saw him come in.

"Chief Wu, the guilty Lu Rongting reports for duty, please give instructions to the chief minister." Lu Rongting stood up and saluted Wu Chenxuan, and Wu Chenxuan also put away his smile and solemnly returned the salute.

"Since Lieutenant General Lu feels guilty, he might as well talk about it." Wu Chenxuan motioned for Lu Rongting to sit down first, and he also found a sofa to sit down against Lu Rongting.

"I will lead the government with the military first, and declare independence later. I am guilty of the government. Lu Rongting is not ambiguous, anyway, if he comes here or not, he is guilty, and he might as well be a single.

"Yes, you are guilty, but these are not the two sins." Wu Chenxuan said with a straight face: "Of course, it is not right to use the army to lead the government, but in the border areas of Guangxi, the administrative efficiency is low, and the army wants to suppress bandits and deal with border troubles, so it is understandable that the military will be in charge for the time being." As for the declaration of independence, as long as you do not split from China, we still have to respect the people's choice, and this is not a crime. You don't know where your sin is. ”

"This, forgive me for being stupid, please make it clear to the chief." Lu Rongting saw that Wu Chenxuan was willing to see him, and in the villa by Xuanwu Lake, he explained that he still had use value, so it was okay to be soft first, but it seemed that Wu Chenxuan didn't plan to let him go like this.

"Hehe, General Ganqing is just afraid that he will not be convinced." Wu Chenxuan smiled, "You Wu Chenxuan occupied fourteen provinces in the north, aren't they all autonomous, and the Nanjing government also has nothing to do with you, and also made you the Minister of National Defense." I'm just an example, why do I only allow the surname Wu to light the lamp, and not allow us to follow suit? I changed it, and I didn't accept it. Right? ”

Lu Rongting's face was as usual, but he was shocked, and dared to say it, this Wu Chenxuan didn't seem to be good. "The subordinates don't dare."

"Don't dare? Don't dare to think or don't dare to say? Seeing Lu Rongting's rebuttal, Wu Chenxuan waved his hand, "You don't have to refute, let me tell you where your sins are." In fact, it's just one thing, you shouldn't have to, you shouldn't let the French get involved. Guangxi became independent, do you plan to incorporate it into Annam after independence? To be a colony for the French? No? Okay, then let me ask you, without the three-steamer munitions given by the French, can you have the strength to be independent? also became the leader of the alliance, you don't count as a colony yourself, do you still want to take Guangdong Yungui to be a colony together? ”

"Chief Wu, although Gan Qing was captured alive by you, please respect my military personality. I, Lu Rongting, am not a traitor like you said, and I will never do anything to betray the country and our ancestors. ”

"Won't it?" Wu Chenxuan took out a book of materials from the document bag on the table and threw it to Lu Rongting, "Take a look, this is the agreement that your subordinates signed with the French to exchange resources for weapons." If you don't pay off the debt of five million francs next year, the Baise aluminum mine and the Yulin tungsten mine will all go to the French. How about the joint operation of the police and the Chinese and French authorities, the construction rights of the Guangdong-Guangdong Railway, and the joint operation of the Guangxi Bank? If this treaty is made public, I will kill you Lu Rongting, and probably the people of the country will applaud. ”

"Xi Xun once said that Wang Xuanhe and this person are not right, I always feel that his material is available, but I didn't expect that I handed over the responsibility of buying firearms to him, and he actually betrayed the interests of Guangxi to the French behind my back." Lu Rongting was furious, as if he didn't know anything about it.

"Ganqing, don't be impatient." Of course, Wu Chenxuan knew that this guy was acting coyly, but he didn't arrest him to help the revolutionary party. "Although you don't know it, do you think the French will let you go once this treaty is signed? It's also your selfishness to get to the bottom of it, and it seems to be quite the king of Guangxi. Do you think that the world is in chaos, Qin has lost his deer, and you also plan to chase the Central Plains. ”

"This..."Lu Rongting's mouth was bitter, Wu Chenxuan's words were too heavy, since the other party is also one of the heroes who are chasing the deer, it seems that there is no need to let go of himself, could it be that this Xuanwu Lake is my burial place.

"Hehe, don't be suspicious. If I am going to get rid of the traitors for the country, why don't you be executed by a public trial? At least fame and fortune. "Wu Chenxuan's smile doesn't seem to be much better than the devil's smile in Lu Rongting's eyes." Ganqing, there are at least two points where you have contributed to the people, and because of this, I think that although you are negligent and go alone, on the whole, you are still a good general to defend one side. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Rongting couldn't help but sit up straight, and Wu Chenxuan continued, "The first one is that when you fell into the grass, thieves also had a way, and they could take the initiative to fight the French colonial army and safeguard the interests of Guangxi. ”

After Lao Lu left Tang Jingsong's pioneer camp, he joined the anti-Qing secret organization of the Three Points Society, and made a wide alliance with Youyong, with the goal of robbing the French invaders and the call to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and carried out activities on the Sino-Vietnamese border, pursuing the purpose of "thieves are also ways". He read very little, but he tried to find a model of life in the clear teachings of the sages, preaching righteousness, honesty and faith, and being very popular. In the green forest, we strictly observe the principle of three non-robbing: first, do not rob the Chinese, second, do not rob the poor, and third, do not rob people near the station. Because all the robbers he robbed were outsiders, and he did not harm his compatriots, everyone called him a righteous thief. As a result, the Muyi gradually returned to the thousands, formed a brigade on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and became an independent kingdom, exclusively hostile to legal persons, and competed for nearly ten years, fighting dozens of battles large and small, and suffering heavy losses from the French Empire. Lu Rongting alone personally killed 23 French soldiers and robbed countless property in Vietnam at one time, and if you count the fighting power of the 5,000 troops under his command, it is self-evident that he dealt a heavy blow to the French Empire.

After the French imperialists were exhausted, they extorted a monument and offered a reward for the arrest of Lu Tesong, and at the same time coerced the Qing government to expel Lu Rongting from the Sino-Vietnamese border and strictly restrained him. This move is enough to show that Lu Rongting's wandering courage has dealt a serious blow to the French imperialist's attempt to covet China's frontiers, and has saved China's southern Xinjiang from the threat of imperialist encroachment, and his merits should be indelible. This is also one of the reasons why Wu Chenxuan does not intend to kill him.

"Second, although it is unfavorable for you to build a place, you can strictly suppress bandits in the station, appease the place, and let the land of Bagui be peaceful.

In fact, the good impression that Lu Rongting left on the common people was that he pacified Guangxi and put an end to bandits and local disturbances in the late Qing Dynasty. The chaotic situation in which the people did not have a good life created a situation in which the common people were basically able to live a peaceful and stable life in the early years of the Republic of China.

"With these two items, you will not sin to death, and after a while we will have a meal together, even if it is a shock or a send-off, I will arrange a plane to send you back." But if you continue to be obsessed, especially if you collude with the French and betray your national interests, the whole of our defense forces will never tolerate your actions, and when the time comes, you will be ruined. Wu Chenxuan stood up, the morning sun shone on his face, his eyes shone brightly, and shot directly into Lu Rongting's eyes, so that Lao Lu had no choice but to say yes, and he didn't dare to be a little uncomfortable.

After a tasteless breakfast, Lu Rongting embarked on the way home, arrived in Guilin at noon, and when he returned to Xingyuan, several brigade commanders were anxiously waiting for news with the eldest son Lu Yuguang. Seeing the handsome man return safely, everyone was overjoyed, at least on the face.

Originally, Lu Rongting announced the cancellation of independence and slowly settled accounts with the French, but the Zhuang general recovered from his panic and felt that he was too embarrassed, and he did not accept several telegrams from the Ministry of National Defense. He also mobilized the elite of a regiment to guard his Nanning Marshal's Mansion, and even the roof of the open and dark posts was full of sharpshooters on duty in the third squad, as if waiting for further instructions from the Wehrmacht.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for the second divine soldier to descend from heaven, but woke up early one morning and screamed and passed out. When Lu Yuguang and the others rushed into the handsome bedroom, they were all dumbfounded.

By the way, what everyone saw was on the wall at the head of Lu Dashuai's bed, the line of eye-catching blue characters "Lu Shuai is well, contemptible people are waiting for Lu Shuai's good news on the shore of Xuanwu Lake." ”
