At this time, Huang Zhongting's speech on his official inauguration as commander-in-chief of the Yunnan National Protector Army was nearing the end, and under the high platform, the two French remembered that they had finally set up their cameras.

Although the two Frenchmen were fluent in Chinese, they didn't listen much to what Huang Zhongting said, and they were busy setting up their cameras and preparing to take pictures.

"Alright, Shaman, hurry up and shoot, mainly the kid, and a few more pictures of their army." Jacques said eagerly.

"Got it"

After a while, there was a bang in front of the local viewing area at the mouth of the river, and a dazzling flash of light was directed at Huang Zhongting on the high platform, and then a puff of smoke rose......

Because the scene was very quiet when Huang Zhongting spoke, the movement of taking pictures was really big, and the people in the entire camp were startled, and Huang Zhongting also stopped speaking, and then, Huang Zhongyuan shouted: "Quick, come here, there are assassins, protect the commander." ”

At this moment, Huang Zhongting was stunned, I'm tua, go to your uncle's, come to play assassination at this time? Where did I go, Lao Tzu occupied a small county town with a big fart, and he began to want to assassinate me?

Then he hurriedly lowered his head to check his body, and silently felt it, no problem, there were no missing parts on his body, and he didn't feel any pain, neuropathy.

At this time, Huang Zhongting has been protected by the soldiers of the guard company of the General Staff, leaving no dead ends, Huang Zhongting can not have any accidents, the commander-in-chief of the National Protector Army, who has just taken over, has an accident at this time, and it will be over.

Below, in the ordinary people's viewing area, everyone also discovered the situation, nearly 10,000 estuary locals hurriedly retreated, and the two Frenchmen were highlighted with a confused face, and the two of them stared at each other, as if there were countless question marks on their faces, what's wrong, I took a photo, why did everyone have such a big reaction.

Subsequently, the two of them were pressed to the ground by the people from the guard company of the first division who were guarding the ordinary people's viewing area.

After a while, Huang Zhongting realized that it was a misunderstanding, and two French reporters took pictures of him.

At this time, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Zhongting returned to the high platform with a group of officers, and directly signaled Huang Zhongyuan to start according to the previous deployment, and let the soldiers of the first division line up and walk in front of him.

The officers and men of the three regiments of the 1st Division, neatly below, began to move. The movement just now did not disturb the formation of the three regiments of the First Division, and did not receive orders from the superior commanders, and the officers and men below did not take any action, and it also took a step forward to reflect that the discipline of the main force of the First Division was still relatively strict.

Since Huang Zhongting came up with the idea of reviewing the troops this time, there was little time to prepare, but Huang Zhongyuan still commanded the drill in advance, and the troops took the company as a military formation, kicking the German-style step from the front of the high platform where Huang Zhongting was located.

The order of appearance was in the order of the first company and the second company of the first battalion of the 101st regiment, plus the artillery battalion directly under the division, a total of 28 army formations were arranged.

As the division commander, Huang Zhongyuan also improvised a slogan, and all the military formations shouted in unison twice the slogan of "drive out the Tartars and protect our China" when they walked in front of the high platform.

At the beginning of the review, when the first military formation neatly walked to the front of the high platform, they shouted in unison, "Drive out the Tartars, protect my China", for a while, the scene was full of enthusiasm, all the officers on the high platform, every soldier in the military formation, the recruits of the new barracks including Xu Lin and other sons, and the ordinary people in the audience to watch the area of the estuary, all of them were enthusiastic and shocked.

Only Huang Zhongting didn't feel much, in his previous life, he had seen a military parade with a larger scale, more advanced equipment, and a more neat military appearance, but in comparison, he felt that this time was ordinary, and there were still many problems in the process.

But he was still satisfied, this was his own army, and it was not easy to pull out such an army when the Qing court was still strong.

Silently watching the army formations walking in front of him, Huang Zhongting secretly thought that he couldn't just make a small fuss in a small border county, it was too restricted, and the development was also very slow, and once the situation suddenly changed, it would be difficult for him to occupy a favorable situation.

At present, this Yunnan National Protector Army is completely in its own hands, but there has been no major movement in the national situation, so it is time to make a bigger fuss and take the initiative to stir up this pool of stagnant water.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the military formations had been lit up in front of Huang Zhongting, and the review of the troops had ended, and Huang Zhongting immediately ordered all units to start deployment in accordance with the plan drawn up at the morning meeting, so as to deal with the situation in which the Qing court in the north had increased its troops in Wenshan Prefecture and Honghe Prefecture in the south and attacked the estuary at any time.

In the whole military parade, Chen Guosheng was the only one on the scene, and his mood was extremely complicated, and yesterday's speaking for the alliance had angered Huang Zhongting, resulting in being masturbated, and thus being marginally removed from the top of the Yunnan National Protector Army. Now the high-level of the Yunnan Protector Army basically knows that he is a member of the Alliance, and he can only shrink in a corner and watch silently during the parade.

At this time, he had extremely complicated feelings, especially after watching the military parade of the Protector Army, and he had been weighing in his heart whether to return to the Alliance or stay in the Protector Army.

After a while, Chen Guosheng sighed heavily, made up his mind, and turned around and returned to his residence.

That night, Huang Zhongting was in the residence of the General Staff, and Chen Guosheng took the initiative to find him.

After seeing Huang Zhongting, Chen Guosheng knelt in front of Huang Zhongting for the first time, but did not say a word. A strong man kneeling in front of a young man looked a little weird, but there was no sense of disobedience here.

Huang Zhongting looked at him silently, and after more than ten minutes, Huang Zhongting sighed and said: "I'm waiting for you to come, and I know that you will come, I'll tell you first, I won't embarrass you, after all, we haven't known each other for a long time, and we don't have a deep friendship, so you can leave at any time if you want to." ”

Chen Guosheng immediately raised his head and responded eagerly: "Young Commander, oh no, Commander, I don't want to leave, I want to stay in the Protector Army, I want to continue to serve the commander." ”

Huang Zhongting nodded, and then signaled that he didn't need to continue to say these words, and said something useful.

Chen Guosheng then slowed down and looked at Huang Zhongting and continued: "Commander, I joined the Alliance in the 32nd year of Guangxu, and I was introduced to the Association by my classmates who attended the Wubei Academy together in Tianjin. ”

"Originally, I thought that only the League would be able to overthrow the Manchu rule and save the country from crisis, but now I don't think so, Commander, you are a person with great ambitions, I am not wrong, so I have decided that I will immediately withdraw from the League and stay in the Protector Army." Chen Guosheng said his heartfelt words in one breath.

Huang Zhongting was still expressionless, looking at Chen Guosheng, who was still kneeling, and the two looked at each other like this, wanting to see from Chen Guosheng's eyes whether what he said was the truest thought in his heart.

More than ten minutes later, Huang Zhongting nodded, helped Chen Guosheng up, sighed and said: "I don't have any antipathy to the alliance before, after all, our anti-Qing ideas are similar, and even I myself have thought about joining the alliance, but you have seen those two people yesterday, as soon as they come, they will seize power, open their mouths to get benefits, and want to eat ready-made, but they don't want to think about it, which of these ready-made points is not what I took people to spell out." ”

"Originally, thinking about the friendship of my father's generation, I would consider giving them some support, and even I can't give up power, if I am really a capable person, I can completely abdicate and make way for Xian, but I have thoroughly seen their kind of mentality, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things if it is really handed over to people like them."

Chen Guosheng listened to Huang Zhongting's words and nodded in agreement.

Huang Zhongting continued: "For you, after all, you have made a mistake, if you really want to continue to stay in the Protector Army, punishment is indispensable, and you don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Chen Guosheng looked at Huang Zhongting sincerely and said with some eagerness: "Commander, there is no dissatisfaction among his subordinates, as long as the commander does not forget his subordinates, even if he stays by the commander's side as a guard." ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhongting looked at Chen Guosheng with some surprise and said: "I really need a guard, but it's not an ordinary guard as you understand, and I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Huang Zhongting pondered for a moment and continued: "That's it, you go back first, and then I'll wait for me to think that you will be busy." ”

Chen Guosheng immediately became excited and said loudly: "Yes, commander, then I'll go back first." With that, he turned and left.

Be happy, as long as you don't forget yourself or completely edge yourself.

Huang Zhongting waved his hand, returned to the bed, and silently pondered, it was time to build an intelligence system, but it still had to wait until the crisis was dealt with.

At this time, although it was dark in Hekou, the business of teahouses and restaurants in Hekou County was still full, and everyone was talking about the Yunnan Protector Army in Hekou.

In a teahouse, several old people who are nearly half a hundred years old are talking.

"Old man Zhang, your son is not too young, how about it, do you want to consider being sent to this national protector army to be a soldier, and you don't have to worry about not having money to marry a wife for your son after a few years of soldiering."

Old man Li sighed and responded: "Alas, I didn't have this plan before, but now I can think about it, by the way, Li Gouzi, isn't that kid in your family being a soldier there now?" Can there be as much as they say? ”

A person next to him immediately smiled and replied: "Let's tell you the truth, I can't control that kid in my family, half a year ago, he mixed with what he was called the rebel army before, and now he is renamed the Yunnan Protector Army, and he directly threw me two silver dollars and three hundred copper coins when he came back last time." ”

This man heheed twice, looked at the table of six old people like him and said with some schadenfreude: "How about it, I regret that I didn't let your kid go to the army earlier, I don't have the slightest pressure now, and the child has the money to marry his wife." ”

"In short, being a soldier in this national protector army is to have a lot of money, eat well, dress warmly, and the danger to life is much less than that of the Qing army."

As soon as the words fell, the five or six old men at the table immediately got up and ran back, and the people drinking tea at the tea table next to them also ran away instantly, leaving this person named Li Gouzi stunned in place.

I'm k, as for it?
