Hu Qingqing brought Yang Wan'er back to her home, and recognized her as her sister, naturally when they lived together in Hu Xueyan's mansion, the feelings that were born were really something that Guan Zhuofan could never think of anymore.

"It's fine." He nodded. Although this thing is weird, Hu Qingqing, as the head of the governor's yamen, can't say that even this lord won't let her do it.

"Wan'er, what are you doing at Hu Daotai's house?"

"They won't let me do anything." Yang Wan'er blushed and said, "I'll learn foreign from Mrs. Luo." ”

"Oh, it's not easy." Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, Mrs. Luoshi was originally from a foreign school, and Wan'er lived in the concession to learn foreign dialect, which was not bad, "After half a year's work, I have probably learned a lot, right?" It would be a pity if it was deserted...... I'll find a gentleman when I go back, you can continue to study with your sister. ”

"Lord Xiexie." Wan'er thanked her politely.

The word "master" is the official title of the concubine to the master, and Wan'er naturally followed Hu Qingqing's name. Guan Zhuofan had the heart to ask her to call her brother-in-law, and after thinking about it again, she still felt a little abrupt, and she would talk about it later.

"Well," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "But when you are free, you should learn from your sister Hu, and when it is time to get married, you will need it." ”

"I'm not married," Yang Wan'er lowered her head shyly, "I'm with my sister." ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl can marry as much as she wants, and what she says now makes Guan Zhuofan's heart move.

He sent Wan'er back to Shanghai from Jiangyin, in addition to the meaning of helping the needy, the main thing was to respect the loyalty of the Yang family. Guarding the old master for two hundred years. It's emotional. The one who was a grandfather. The expression of hatred of the Manchurians is vivid, I wonder if Wan'er has been contaminated? He also wanted to take a closer look. But it's still early, these can't be talked about, he looked at this "little sister-in-law" who is not small except for her young age, and shook his head secretly, thinking: If Liu Xunji had any guesses about his actions at that time, this time it would be more like sitting down.

But I don't have the heart to think about that for now. As a bridegroom, he still has to sit in the hall and do things. This time, he called back all the commanders of the Xuan Army stationed in various places, and what he did was more than just a glass of happy wine! In the afternoon, the officers were summoned to the governor's yamen to meet in the side hall.

This time, unlike yesterday's jubilation, the guards on Qingya Street and inside and outside the governor's yamen were all on double posts. The officers felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, and everyone sat upright in the side hall. They just nodded to each other, even Daniel Zhang, who loved to play treasures the most. also without saying a word. It wasn't until Guan Zhuofan entered with high spirits that everyone stood up and gave a military salute, Guan Zhuofan waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down, and the atmosphere was a little lively.

"Shijie, come on." Guan Zhuofan nodded to Ding Shijie on the left.

"Yes, Sir." Ding Shijie bowed in response, took out a large sealing bag from behind him, untied the rope buckle twice, and took out a few pages of large paper, which were densely packed with something, and I don't know what was written.

"Forrestal!"

"In!" Forrest stood up, his feet together.

"The eight battalions of the first regiment of Lingyang, except for the two battalions stationed in Zhenjiang, the remaining six battalions will rush to Songjiang by water to report within 12 days!"

Although it is not known for sure, it is a military order, and Forrest did not hesitate to respond loudly: "Huh! ”

"Wu Jianying!"

"In!"

"I ordered the six battalions of the Jianzi Regiment, except for the two battalions to stay in Changzhou, the remaining six battalions should rush to Songjiang to report within 15 days!"

"Huh!"

"Jiang De!"

"In!"

"I ordered the six battalions of the German Regiment, except for the two battalions to stay in Suzhou, the remaining four battalions were limited to report to Songjiang within eight days!"

"Huh!"

These three orders are equivalent to drawing back the main forces of the Xuan army stationed in the three places of Suchang Town, plus the horse team, the Kezi regiment, the Xianzi regiment, the Yanger regiment, as well as the Luzi regiment and the Kuizi regiment that were originally stationed here, and the Songjiang Mansion will gather large soldiers again. The officers of the regiment looked at each other with excited eyes, thinking that they didn't know where the commander was going to fight again, could it be that he was going to rob Hangzhou with the "left mule"?

"Sir's Order!" Ding Shijie said loudly.

There was a bang, and the officers who had been sitting down stood up.

"From today onwards, the Xuan army will set up a division!" Ding Shijie read word by word, "The division is the town." The first regiment of Yang, the regiment of grams, the regiment of German characters, and the regiment of Kuizi are integrated into the first division! The Second Foreign Regiment, the First Word Regiment, the Jianzi Regiment, and the Lu Character Regiment are integrated into the Second Division! ”

The name of "division" has never existed in the official army, but both the foreigners and the Taiping army have this level of establishment, so everyone is not unfamiliar. As for saying that "the division is the town", it naturally means that the chief officer of the division is equivalent to the general town, that is, the general army. Among the Xuan army, only Daniel Zhang and Iksan are now the actual commanders-in-chief, so everyone looked at him with envy, and said that this time they were going to serve as this new "division officer".

Who knows not!

"Forrestal, concurrently the officer of the 1st Division! With Bai Qiwen, concurrently serving as the officer of the Second Division! ”

This time, it was a big surprise. Everyone peeked over and saw Daniel Zhang's expressionless face, but Ixan's face turned slightly red.

This is not the end, Ding Shijie continued to announce the next military order.

"On top of the two divisions, set up a corps! With Wall as the commander of the corps, Daniel Zhang as the deputy commander! The original Chinese military camp was merged with the pro-soldier battalion, and the Guards Regiment was set up, with Tulin as the officer of the Guards Regiment, and together with the horse team, they were all directly under the Legion! ”

This is even more bizarre, even Ding Shijie, a first-class viscount and the actual governor of Jiangnan, has no position, which is equivalent to being hollowed out. When the military order was announced, only Ding Shijie, Hua Er, Daniel Zhang, and Liu Xian were the only four who looked like usual, and they could see that they already knew in advance, and the rest looked at each other - aren't we becoming a new generation of "ever-victorious army"? And Forrest and Bai Qiwen suddenly got the position of division officer, and the look of surprise on their faces was no less than others.

At the beginning of the day, the sky was clear, but at this moment it was full of dark clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder from the sky. In the side hall of the governor's yamen, the light dimmed for a while, and the large candles had to be opened by the soldiers of the fu yamen before the meeting could continue.

In such a tense and solemn atmosphere, Guan Zhuofan spoke.

"When everyone returns to Songjiang, there will be a slight deployment between the officers of each department and the number of troops." He smiled and said in a very casual tone, "Brother used to be instructed by a master who said that 'soldiers cannot be idle', so now that the battle in Jiangsu has been fought, you must not be slack." This time, I invite everyone to come back and assemble in Songjiang in order to train the troops well. ”

Such a big move, was it just for military training? Everyone has a question on their mind. These officers in the hall are at least guerrillas from the third grade, but they are too familiar with the temper of the marshal. When he talks to his subordinates, he rarely speaks violently and bulliests others, but in his plain words, there is a power that cannot be refuted. And from Miyun to Jiangning, there are dozens of battles of all sizes, and there are too many clever places, who dares to disagree?

To be honest, they are all sincerely convinced. In this case, now that the marshal is talking about training, then it is good to train the troops!

"It's not just about training," Guan Zhuofan turned to Liu Xunjiao, "Mr. Liu, there is also a need to coordinate on the grain platform." For the time being, it will be supplied by the general grain station first, but if the legion wants to have its own independent grain platform, it will be dismantled by your Xuan Army General grain station. This matter is up to you, as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." Liu Xunji got up and replied.

"In addition, you can find Bian Ning of the General Telegraph Bureau, and the corps and the two divisions under it will set up a telegraph room, and ask him to assign personnel and equipment as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll go talk to him today."

"Troops who do not participate in this exercise should not be idle. Shijie," Guan Zhuofan turned to Ding Shijie again, "Or according to what we say, from among the people above the commander of each battalion, select some young and literate people, and let them wait." ”

"Yes!" Ding Shijie replied calmly.

Everyone heard the taste - those who participated in the Songjiang military training were called the corps, and they belonged to the Huaer command. Those who did not participate in the training were still under the jurisdiction of Ding Shijie in the rest of the Jiangsu region and the green battalion.

After Guan Zhuofan finished speaking, he glanced around, and no one spoke, only Forrest, who was really curious, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, what do you want them to do with those literate people who have been selected?" ”

"What to do, who knows now?" Guan Zhuofan smiled happily, "But since they are literate, maybe they will be sent to study in Xuezheng, and it is unknown." ”
