For this incident to be quickly extinguished, Xiao Mubai can be said to have made great contributions. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info even people who are jealous of Xiao Mubai's military exploits have to admit this.

At this time, Xiao Mubai had no time to take care of this. Because it received a telegram, a telegram that the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou wanted to summon him, Xiao Mubai was also curious about this capable official in the late Qing Dynasty. You must know that there is a saying in the history of time and space, that if it was Ding Zhenduo who was in power in Yunnan at the time of the Hekou Uprising, maybe the uprising would have succeeded. Although this is just a family's words, it is not without its truth, which shows Xiliang's ability. At that moment, he rushed to Kunming non-stop, day and night.

After arriving in Kunming, Xiao Mubai went to the governor's yamen and came to the gatehouse, and the officials who were waiting for the governor to summon him also saw Xiao Mubai. Just because Xiao Mubai hurried overnight, looking like a dusty servant all the way, and even younger, the officials couldn't help but feel disdain. One of the officials shouted coldly, "Where are you from?" Do you know what kind of place this is? Actually came in? ”

Xiao Mubai felt uncomfortable when he heard this mouthful of officialdom, and he knew that he didn't want to do this! It's just that I'm in a hurry, and I can't bother to freshen up. At the moment, he said without humility or arrogance: "In Xia Xiao Mubai, the current commander of the patrol battalion of Guangnan Mansion. Today, I have been summoned by the Governor to report here. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately restrained their previous disdain. They are all petty officials, and they can't afford to offend these military leaders.

After receiving Xiao Mubai's greetings, Chen Eun personally came to greet him, you must know that Chen Eun is very honest as an official, and he is also talented, and there are only a handful of people who are looked down upon by him on weekdays. But this young commander rarely caught his eyes. Therefore, I was curious, so I came to greet him personally.

"Which one is Commander Xiao Mubai?"

Seeing the person coming, Xiao Mubai said respectfully: "The subordinate is Xiao Mubai and Xiao Zicheng." ”

Chen Eun saw this person sitting in a group of officials with his waist straight and his eyes not squinting, as if he stood out from the crowd. I had a good feeling in my heart. Thinking that this person is young, and he is not arrogant and complacent after making such a great achievement, his heart is even more happy, so he has the idea of making friends.

"Commander Xiao, come with me to meet the Governor, your lord will wait for you for a while."

Xiao Mubai saw that this person was dignified, although he was middle-aged, but he did not lose his sharpness, so he said, "Thank you for greeting you, I don't know what to call an adult?" ”

"My name is Chen Eun, and my name is Er'an. Just call me Eran. Chen Yan replied with a smile.

As soon as he heard that this person was Chen Eun, Xiao Mubai was suddenly shocked, and he didn't expect to meet this person here on this trip. For Chen Eun, Xiao Mubai was naturally in awe in his heart. It can't help but be his military quality, but also his moral character, and he is even more respectful at the moment. Chen Eun, who was poor when he was young, graduated from the Beiyang Military Academy and was a rare military talent at that time. In the 33rd year of Guangxu, he was transferred from Sichuan to Yunnan by Xiliang to serve as the unification of the New Army Mixed Association, and under the leadership of Chen Eun, the Mixed Association can be described as well-equipped and well-trained.

At that moment, Xiao Mubai smiled and said: "Then how can it be, Chen Xietong is older than me and a senior in the army, how can I directly call the table character?" ”

For Xiao Mubai's respect for himself, Chen Eun felt it from the beginning of the meeting, and said without hesitation: "Since you also said that I am not as old as you, then it is okay to call me Brother Er'an." ”

Xiao Mubai was not hypocritical, so he shouted directly: "Brother Er'an." ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he nodded, didn't speak, just walked forward with him.

After Xiao Mubai saw Xiliang, he saluted respectfully and said, "Humble Xiao Mubai, I have seen Lord Tai." ”

Xiliang is kinder than imagined: "Commander Xiao is exempt from courtesy, I don't know if Commander Xiao has a word." ”

"Back to my lord, the words of the humble show are sincere."

"Well, Zicheng. That is Chen Eun, Chen Er'an, is the co-leader of the New Army Mixed Association, and you two will have to be more close in the future. You are a talent, you are a talent, I dare to use it. It's just that I hope you don't have the mind you shouldn't have. Otherwise, the Governor will not be relentless. Do you understand? ”

Hearing Xiliang's words, a cold sweat only fell from Xiao Mubai's head. Could it be that this old guy knows anything? How else would you give yourself such a dismount? That's not right! If you really want to know something, then take yourself down on the spot, what nonsense! In a flash of thought, Xiao Mubai had already thought about the various results.

Seeing that Xiao Mubai was almost beaten, Xiliang began to prepare to throw a sweet jujube. The truth of beating a stick to give a sweet jujube can be said to be easy for Xiliang, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years. Knowing that Xiao Mubai was the commander of the patrol team of Guangnan Prefecture and had two patrol battalions under him, he couldn't help but ask with a smile:

"Why doesn't Zicheng join the new army?"

Xiao Mubai couldn't help but think when he heard this, didn't Xiliangmo want to transfer himself to the new army? If so, it's a great opportunity.

After thinking about it, he said: "I returned to the Taiwan people, and I also came to the supervision office to report when I returned to China last year, but at that time, the number of officers and assistants at all levels of the new army was full, so I could only go to the defense camp to take up my post. Moreover, the patrol battalion is also the army of the imperial court, and it is not serving the imperial court. ”

Xiliang heard Xiao Mubai's answer, and was relieved, and praised it: "It is rare for Zicheng to have a heart for the country and the people. The Governor intends to transfer you to serve in the New Army and assist in the formation and training of the New Army, I wonder what you think? ”

Although Xiliang used an inquiring tone, Xiao Mubai understood his weight in his heart, he was the governor of the two provinces, and one side was a feudal official, and he was polite to you, so he could afford you, if you really refused, that is, you don't have a long face. Besides, his original intention was to enter the new army for development, so he agreed.

"Since the Lord of Taiwan can afford to be below, he is willing to drive for the Lord of Taiwan. Just ......"

Xiliang shook his hand and said, "What Zicheng wants to say, this governor has already understood. Eran, you take Zicheng down to rest first! ”

Seeing that Xiao Mubai should come down, Xiliang nodded with satisfaction, and didn't care what Xiao Mubai was going to say next.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Mubai was also depressed, he didn't say anything, how could he understand. But he had no choice but to follow Chen Eun to the post house to rest.

"As for what the Lord said in the hall of the Taiwan Lord, Zicheng doesn't have to mind, just because you students who have returned from studying abroad have a lot to do with the revolutionary party, and your adults have no choice but to do it, you must not take it to heart."

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Mubai knew why Xiliang was beating himself, the crux of his feelings was this? Although he said "don't dare, don't dare", what he thought in his heart was not something that Chen Eun could know.

"By the way, Zi Cheng's words just now are still unfinished, I don't know what was difficult to say at that time?" After walking out of the governor's yamen, Chen Eun asked with a smile.

Xiao Mubai thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, there are many people in the new army who have returned from studying in Japan and are studying in Germany, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to get along with these people." ”

"Oh? Where does this begin? ”

Xiao Mubai looked around, and then said solemnly: "This matter is a long story. ”

Chen Eun's face was also straight: "Please speak!" ”

"It starts after the Russo-Japanese War, when the Japanese defeated Russia with their hearts and minds. Let everyone in the country think that the Japanese army is strong, but in fact, this is not the case. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was the first choice for domestic students to study military affairs, but they did not know that this was a major mistake. First of all, Japan's plot against our country is not a matter of one or two days, going to Japan to study military affairs, how can it be possible to teach Chinese students the real skills, I am afraid that they can only learn some superficial knowledge, secondly, most of the new army is now a Japanese student, these people have been in Japan for a few years, and after they come back, I am afraid that they will not be interested in the imperial court. Finally, the base camp of the chaotic party is in Japan, and if the Japanese had not been secretly supporting the chaotic party, the chaotic party would have been wiped out long ago."

Chen Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "What Zicheng said is exactly what I want." ”

A few days later, Xiao Mubai was officially transferred to the New Army and served as the unified position of the New Army's Mixed Infantry Standard. For the two pipe bands under him, after consulting the opinions of the two of them, only Yan Weidong was transferred to his subordinates, and Mo Chunlin was recommended for the post of commander of the patrol battalion after he stepped down. After explaining his opinion to Xiliang, Xiliang agreed without hesitation. It was only at this time that Xiao Mubai understood what Xiliang meant by "clear" at that time, and although he was slanderous in his heart, he also gladly accepted Xiliang's kindness.
