After a while, Wang Yongtai's ears regained his hearing, and he realized that even if he longed for power, he had to think about his body, so he forced himself to ask: "How did Huang Bo run?" Isn't he being held? ”

"Second brother, do you want your body to take a break......" Wang Yongan said with concern. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Yongtai's heart warmed, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you say it, I'll listen." ”

Wang Yongan smiled bitterly, and then told everything before and after Huang Bo escaped, even including his bodyguard Zhang Xi who was killed after being bribed.

"Why do you think he was killed?" Wang Yongtai was also curious about Zhang Xi's death.

"My guess in the past few days is that this Huang Boyu must have deceived Zhang Xi and made some promises to him that he couldn't fulfill himself. So when Huang Bo successfully escaped, in order to avoid trouble, Huang Bo killed people first. Wang Yongan analyzed.

Wang Yongtai sneered: "Huang Bo is just a little person arranged by Zaifeng and Duan Qirui around us, if Huang Bo is not by our side, he will have no use value." Now that Huang Bo has become a lost dog, Zaifeng and Duan Qirui may not be able to kill him, how can they give Zhang Xi benefits? This Zhang Xi is really young and naïve, and when others lie to him for a few words, he believes it. ”

Wang Yongan asked: "Huang Bo will be killed and killed?" ”

Wang Yongtai said: "It depends on Zaifeng, if Zaifeng is ruthless, killing Huang Bo will be good for him, if Zaifeng is still indecisive, he will definitely keep Huang Bo." Duan Qirui would never kill Huang Bo, once Duan Qirui attacked Huang Bo, his ambition was exposed. ”

Wang Yongan said: "If Zaifeng is a resolute person, the court will not be so chaotic now, if he had half a decision, my father-in-law would have been killed by the Qing court forbidden army in Beijing." Even if Huang Bo returns to Zaifeng's side, he will not report the fact that he was toyed with and applauded by us in Yangzhou. Although I didn't have much contact with this person, I realized that this person could betray anyone for self-preservation, and he could do anything for himself. ”

Wang Yongtai nodded, and Yang Zhenshan interjected angrily and scolded on the side: "This person is a villain." ”

"Villains also have the benefits of villains, I have a good idea," Wang Yongan sneered, "He has already been a double agent for Zaifeng and Duan Qirui, and he must not care about being a third-sided agent." We can use him to pass on false information, we don't need to ask for other people's information from him, we only need to pass on the fake news we need to Zaifeng and Duan Qirui through his means, and make them happy. Since they sent Huang Bo to disgust us, why don't we go back disgusted? ”

"Fourth Young Master, they have offended you, and they will definitely suffer in the future." Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Wang Yongtai also laughed, but seemed more tired.

Seeing this, Wang Yongan said: "Second brother, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I have entrusted the salt merchant Zhou Shunian to buy back a few hundred-year-old ginseng plants by the way when he goes to the north, and your body will soon improve." ”

Wang Yongtai smiled and said, "I want to go home to recuperate, and I can't settle down here." Wang Yongan asked Yue Wenzheng, and Dr. Yue said that now General Wang is weak, not riddled with diseases, and can go home to recuperate, but he needs to be exposed to the sun and the sun, and he also needs to live in a ventilated and constant temperature place. Wang Yongan said that everything would be handled by me, so he took Wang Yongtai home, and asked Zhang Tie to go to Shanghai to buy a large piece of glass in the foreign bank, and he wanted to build a sun room in the Wang family's old house, so that Wang Yongtai could bask in the sun room after the cold weather.

Although Wang Yongtai didn't know what the sun room meant, he saw that the fourth brother took good care of himself, and his mood was much better, and in the evening, Sister Cao secretly said to him: "Today, the fourth brother bought more than 100 old ginseng plants from outside and spent 20,000 taels of silver. The maid Chun Xi'er overheard that the fourth child secretly complained that Zhou Shunian did not buy the 100,000 thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, but let Prince Qing's Mansion buy it first, and he said that one day he would demolish Prince Qing's Mansion, and he must snatch back the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng. ”

Wang Yongtai laughed, relieved in his heart, and Sister Cao also said: "We were wrong to blame him before. Wang Yongtai disagrees with this statement, in fact, if it weren't for Wang Yongtai's serious illness now, if he still has ambition and energy, I'm afraid that the two brothers will fight again, men are born like this, even if they are brothers, they have to be superior.

There is only one wolf king in the wolf pack, and now the old wolf king has retired and the new wolf king has taken the throne, so it will naturally be replaced.

Regarding the true situation of Wang Yongtai's body, only him, Wang Yongan, Yue Wenzheng and Yang Zhenshan knew, and even Sister Cao didn't know.

When she was at home, Sister Cao took care of Wang Yongtai carefully, but she was worried that Wang Yongtai was getting better, and went to the barracks to fight for power with Wang Yongan, and she was very conflicted. Sister Cao is very jealous of Wang Yongan, the little uncle, he is like a poisonous snake, he usually lives in the depths of the house, and when he strikes, he is as fast as lightning and kills with one blow.

Wang Yongtai felt Sister Cao's contradiction, so he lied to her and said that he just wanted to accompany her well and no longer ask about the army, but now Wang Yongan has no military merits, and he must stand in the way. Sister Cao was overjoyed when she heard this, and Haosheng accompanied Wang Yongtai, smiling all day long, as if she was ten years younger.

Wang Yongtai was happy to see her, and he was also very happy, and secretly wrote a suicide note to Wang Yongan, telling him that if he died one day, his younger brother must not embarrass Sister Cao, and if she remarried anyone, she would also give her 20,000 taels of silver and several houses of property as a dowry. Wang Yongan naturally won't stop him, but now as long as Wang Yongtai is happy, everything will go according to him.

Here, Wang Yongan no longer worries about family affairs, and his mind is all on army construction, especially the placement of wounded soldiers.

In this battle of northern Anhui, Wang Yongtai only brought back more than 1,400 people, and in the end, more than 200 people died of various infections after being rescued by military doctors, more than 400 people had to retire because of various injuries and diseases, and some people chose to retire on their own initiative, and in the end only 800 people stayed.

According to the rules of the Beiyang Army, the resettlement of wounded soldiers only needs to be sent back to their hometowns, but this is to push the veterans to despair.

Compared with many people in this era, Wang Yongan is much more attentive to the placement of wounded and sick retired soldiers, he knows that retired veterans generally have war syndrome, so he first organizes retired veterans to relax and recuperate, and then let them gradually adapt to ordinary life after two months of recuperation, so as to avoid some psychological problems. The so-called self-cultivation is not simply to rest and recuperate, but also to adjust the mentality of the veterans, teach these wounded veterans some other life skills in addition to killing, such as clothing cutting, carpentry, masonry, boat driving and boat maintenance and other skills, veterans are not suitable for farm work because of their physical disabilities, but they can become skilled workers by mastering a craft to support themselves and their families

As the so-called church apprentices starved to death of masters, for the placement and study of veterans, Wang Yongan had to spend a lot of money, from Yangzhou, Jiangdu, Taixian, Gaoyou, etc. (To be continued.) )
