Chapter 29: Go home and play in the mud

The next day, the former Hekou County Ya, now the General Staff of the Yunnan Protector Army.

Huang Zhongting convened a military meeting with officers at or above the deputy regimental level of the First Division of the Yunnan Protectorate Army and officers at or above the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff.

During this period, with the completion of the expansion of the troops, the work of the First Division, the General Staff Department and the recruit battalion was successfully accomplished the main goal set by Huang Zhongting, but Huang Zhongting suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The main thing is that it is too quiet, after the defeat of the Qing army in the first battle of Nanxi, there has been no movement in the past half a month except for adding some ordinary troops to Wenshan Prefecture.

Huang Zhongting thought silently, there was no sign of chaos in the country during this time, if the rest of the country was not chaotic, then the Qing army would have the energy and strength to deal with itself.

Originally, I thought that with the news of the defeat of the Qing army on his side spread throughout the country, there should be some movement in other provinces, and I remember that in my previous life, I knew that during this time, the Alliance Association should have instigated several uprisings and riots, although they all failed, but they could attract the attention of the Qing court to a large extent and reduce the pressure on their side, but now I haven't seen any news coming, is it wrong for me.

Or because his side was blocked, the news couldn't be transmitted at all, and Huang Zhongting was a little depressed.

There was no movement, but he felt uneasy, he felt too quiet, even if he didn't attack the estuary, he should send a small force to harass him, how could he let his side live so comfortably.

It's a pity that there was no means of communication in those years, and he didn't establish his own intelligence system, and the direction from the mouth of the river to Wenshan and the Red River was too tightly blocked, and he could only rely on scouts to get information.

Huang Zhongting saw that the people in the conference room had arrived, coughed and said in a deep voice: "I will call you for a meeting this time, I will make a long story short, this time is too quiet, and there is no major movement in the country, I think the Qing army will take action." Therefore, I ask you to strengthen your vigilance, especially the 103rd Regiment stationed in Longyan Shugou and the 102nd Regiment stationed in Nanxi, build more fortifications in the garrison, and send more scouts to reconnoiter in the direction of Honghe and Wenshan. ”

Huang Zhongting paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, a large number of recruits were added to the expansion last time, and many recruits have not been trained in the recruit camp for a few days, so all departments should also seize the time to train......

In this hall, everyone was listening carefully to the lecture of a young man who was much younger than them, no one made a sound, and no one felt awkward, even Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao and others, who had just arrived not long ago, were already used to it.

But if it is an uninformed person who sees this scene, he will definitely be surprised, contrary to common sense, a young man, to a group of people who are basically uncles and uncles and elder brothers, and they all listen obediently.

In the eyes of many people, Huang Zhongting was honest, shy, and talentless before he took power; Now, he is in power and has changed, but no one thinks that he is talented, full of poetry and writing, and his military command is mediocre when he fights.

Sometimes I think he's stupid and naΓ―ve, sometimes I'm mature and smart, and sometimes I'm sleepwalking, muttering things they don't understand.

But they found that Huang Zhongting always had some advanced ideas, he was very stable in big decisions, and he didn't have any special personality charm, so he simply made people gradually convince him like being poured ecstasy soup.

Since Huang Zhongting came to power, he first tampered with his father's orders, got rid of the crisis of the failure of the uprising, captured the Eagle's Beak Mountain bandits, and harvested the first pot of gold in his life, and then continued to expand the army, captured the estuary again, gained a firm foothold, and defeated the most powerful new army of the Qing court, and then changed the number and expanded the army, during which the local big clans were subdued and there were taxes.

Up to now, the Yunnan Protectorate Army has a full division of nearly 4,000 troops at the small estuary, which is well-equipped and has high morale.

Everyone knows that it is the young man in front of him who has changed all this, of course, now in their eyes, Huang Zhongting is not a young man, he is the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Yunnan National Protector Army, but because he is still young, everyone calls him the young commander.

This meeting, which was originally a long story short, was held until almost noon, and just as the meeting was about to end, the commander of the guard company in charge of guarding the staff headquarters ran in and whispered in Huang Zhongting's ear: "Young army commander, a few people came to the gate, saying that they were from the Alliance and wanted to see you." ”

The newly appointed commander of the guard company of the General Staff is called Liu Wenxiu, and he sounds like a very gentle and delicate person, but he is five big and three thick, and his face is dark, and he is recommended by Li Desheng, the commander of the guard company of the General Staff, and Huang Zhongting directly appointed him.

At present, there is a shortage of personnel in the troops, especially a shortage of officers, and many people below the regimental level he does not know, but he only knows Huang Zhongyuan's group of people, and with the rapid expansion of the troops, he basically cannot select and appoint officers with low ranks.

Huang Zhongting was a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "The people of the Alliance, you can see them, bring them in." ”

Then he looked at everyone and chuckled: "There are a few people from the Alliance outside the door, it stands to reason that they are a family, so let's meet them with me." ”

Everyone was also a little curious, although the first estuary uprising was launched by the Alliance, and the old leader Huang Mingtang was also a member of it, but after all, none of them joined the Alliance.

But at this time, no one noticed that there was a person in the room whose eyes flickered.

A moment later, a group of five people walked in, starting with an old man who was nearly seventy years old, and this group was none other than Yu Guosheng, Qi Lin and others, who had been assigned to the estuary from Hanoi, Vietnam.

The two of them also carried a few accompanying escorts behind them, and the two of them were also important members of the Alliance, rushing from Hanoi, Vietnam to the mouth of the Yunnan River, the road was still relatively far, so they naturally needed some escorts, of course, these guards were also loyal to the Alliance.

Before the two of them came, they had thought about the estuary very well, but after they came, they were still surprised to see the scene of the estuary with their own eyes, and then they were envious, and look, this is a revolution launched by others.

The two of them began to turn around after arriving at the mouth of the river early in the morning, and found that the city was heavily guarded, but it did not affect the normal life of the people in the city at all, and the ordinary people did not feel anything wrong.

I also saw two military camps in the city, and found that this army was well-dressed, well-trained, and advancedly armed, although they still retained long braids, but they felt incredible to them.

Qi Lin had sharp eyes, and he had gone to a military school, and when he entered the city, he saw two machine guns on the tower of the city gate, and then vaguely saw a cannon in a half-open barracks deep in the barracks, which made him feel very unbalanced.

One of their tasks this time was to collect weapons and food from the Hekou Revolutionary Army, and see, everyone had guns, machine guns, and artillery, and they were still worried about a few broken guns.

Therefore, unconsciously, the mentality of the two people representing the Alliance and Huang Xing began to change.

At this time, the two people who were taken to the conference room of the staff by the guards were startled when they looked at the room full of people in dark military uniforms, what are you doing, what are so many people doing, you want to fight, Qi Lin was a little frightened, and his eyes didn't dare to seriously check the people present.

Seeing that the two members of the alliance who were brought in were suddenly stunned, Huang Zhongting understood a little, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, two, we happen to have a meeting here, and the main officers of my Yunnan National Protector Army are here, and it just so happens that your alliance will come over, and you can all get to know each other." ”

To be honest, Huang Zhongting still has a good impression of the Alliance, and his cheap father is a member of the Alliance, so he thinks it would be good to have a good relationship with him.

Qi Lin, who was stunned for a moment, eased up, looked at Huang Zhongting who was talking in front of him, and blurted out loudly, "You are Huang Mingtang's son?" ”

There is a bit of arrogance in both the tone and the words.

Huang Zhongting immediately put away his smiling face and responded expressionlessly: "Yes, my name is Huang Zhongting, and I am currently in charge of the revolutionary ...... in Hekou, Yunnan."

"Alright, the little kid is going home to play in the mud, I don't have time to talk to you." Qi Lin interrupted Huang Zhongting's reply very impatiently.

Then he pointed to the officers present and scolded: "You are also stupid, fooling around with a little child, and now according to the order of Mr. Huang Xing of the Alliance, Mr. Qi Guosheng and I, Qi Lin, are appointed to be responsible for all matters of the Hekou Revolution, and the troops must also obey our orders." ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhongyuan, who was sitting and drinking tea below, squirted out a mouthful of water directly, which happened to spray Xu Guichuan's face, but Xu Guichuan didn't react, his eyes looked directly at Qi Lin who said what he just said, not only them, but everyone at the scene was like this, Huang Zhongting was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted, muttering: "This is to seize power?" But on what ground? ”

At this time, Yu Guosheng, who was beside Qi Lin, also looked at Qi Lin with a shocked face, and thousands of horses galloped in his heart, Mom, what is the situation, you are going to die, you will give me the whole show as soon as you come, you don't look at the situation at the scene to say such things, Mr. Huang said before we came to let us plan secretly, you are so good, as soon as you come, the key is to look at the current situation at the scene, you don't want to seize power like this, which person doesn't look at you like a fool, don't pull me if you want to die......

Huang Zhongting stared at Qi Lin, and replied in a somewhat cold voice: "Oh, you want me to go home and play in the mud?" ”

Suddenly, Xu Guichuan slapped the table and got up, looked at Qi Lin and scolded: "Who the hell are you, dare to talk to our young army commander like this, don't you want to live?" ”

Immediately, the others also reacted, and they all looked at Qi Lin and scolded.

"Are you stupid or stupid? Or do you think you are the king of heaven? ”

"Come on, hand me a gun, I can't help it, I'm going to collapse him."

……

The scene was chaotic, Huang Zhongyuan, Cai Yi, Xu Guichuan and others were all pointing at Qi Lin and scolding, and some had already picked up a rifle and were ready to pull the bolt and fire.
