1087908 Far Eastern Madman Chapter 390 Promoted to Fortune

Fight for it. Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanfang were bored and walked to various cars. Chat with the officers who are on their way to the front in a car. By the way, they are also showing themselves, the two are now not only senior cadres of the United Front, but also vice presidents of military schools, this status is also quite noble, although there is no real power at present, but it is no problem to follow the United Front to eat a bowl of rice, and now the United Front has defeated the Beiyang Army in Henan and Zhili in a row, and it seems that there are signs of becoming the center, and the mood of the two is naturally cheerful, recalling the scene when the battle with the Republican Army in Wuhan was at that time, both of them have a feeling of being separated from each other, If Zhao Bei hadn't lifted them up at the beginning, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the scenery they have now.

It was precisely because they knew the truth about the "pre-battle uprising" that Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan usually did not dare to indulge themselves too much, and the commander-in-chief said that officers were not allowed to take concubines, so they immediately dismissed the newly recruited concubines. The commander-in-chief said that they were not allowed to wear military uniforms in the wine shop, and they also obeyed self-discipline and never dared to commit adultery, let alone engage in any small actions.

These two officers are known as "honest" in the Republican Army.

At the beginning, they also wanted to return to Beiyang to serve, but they were woken up by a few slaps from Wu Fengling, and now, the commander of Wu Fengling Wu of the Beiyang Army has also become a prisoner of the United Front and will soon be tried by a military court. Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan are indeed very grateful to Wu Fengling for his slaps at the beginning, and they both feel that they should go to the old boss of the military court. Of course, the two of them would never intercede for the old boss, after all, those slaps did hurt at the beginning, and the two of them would not forget those slaps so quickly.

Since they are now eating this bowl of rice from the United Front, they have to abide by the rules of others, but fortunately, this set of rules is the same set of rules in the Republican Army in the past, but they are familiar with the road, Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan only looked at this slow civilian train and rushed to Zhengzhou as soon as possible, so as not to delay the brilliant future of the two because of this missed train.

The two sat in the car and talked to a few businessmen, passing the boring time, and finally heard the whistle of the train entering the station, and then stood up and left.

The Zhengzhou Railway Station finally arrived, Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan both looked at their watches, fortunately, it was only noon, and there were still two hours before the afternoon meeting, even if they went to have a hearty lunch, this time was more than enough.

Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan's luggage were on the military train, and the two of them came here empty-handed, and at this moment they also walked out of the train station empty-handed. After waiting for a long time without hiring a mule cart, I simply threw off my arms and went to Zhengzhou City on foot, but fortunately, the distance was not far, but only a few miles away, and I soon entered the city. I found a restaurant for lunch first, but this time I didn't dare to drink, and after eating, the two walked around the street one after the other, which was also very leisurely.

It's really laid-back, although it's the vice-principal of the military academy. But the two of them don't usually have much teaching tasks. That is, to lecture on tactics, and occasionally take the cadets out to practice, usually the two live this seemingly leisurely life, and because the families of the two have been detained by the Beiyang Center in the Tianjin Machang barracks, the two are also sympathetic to each other on weekdays, and even go to the street to walk together.

However, not long after shopping this time, Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan were caught by Wu Luzhen, who was also hanging on the street.

"Yo! You two are laid back. If you don't go to a meeting and wander around the street, you're not afraid of being stripped of this military uniform? ”

Wu Luzhen doesn't care whether the other party is a senior cadre of the United Front or not, as long as the other party is still wearing this gray cloth military uniform, he is qualified to take charge, who told him to start serving as a judge of the general army again now?

"Isn't it a little more than a clock? The meeting started at two o'clock, no hurry, no hurry. Wang Zhanyuan looked at his watch.

Wu Luzhen made a look of surprise and said, "You didn't go to the barracks to report? Didn't get noticed? Today's meeting began a week earlier, and now, it may have begun. It's just that you're wandering all over the world, why don't you throw away your future? Today's meeting. It is to discuss the issue of the selection of the governor of Shandong. The commander-in-chief wants you Wang Zhanyuan to be the governor of Shandong, now it's good, this meeting has begun, but you, the governor of Shandong, are still shopping here, aren't you afraid that this governor's hat will be robbed by others? ”

"What?" Wang Zhanyuan was taken aback, but his mind was blank, and when he came back to his senses, he turned around and ran forward, throwing Lu Yongxiang down.

"Well, you lied to him just now, right?"

Lu Yongxiang glanced at Wang Zhanyuan's distant back, and then asked Wu Luzhen: "Both of us are generals." It's already satisfying to have something to eat, and to be a governor? Or did the commander-in-chief say it? I don't think you're talking nonsense. ”

Wu Luzhen said seriously: "What did I lie to you about? At present, the North-South Peace Talks intend to regard Shandong as a "neutral zone" and is lacking a governor. Beiyang wanted Duan Zhigui to go, but we didn't agree. We want Wu Zhenhan to go, but Beiyang doesn't do it, and now the commander-in-chief has nominated Wang Zhanyuan to be the governor of Shandong, which is also the best choice to take into account the interests of all parties

"What,"

Lu Yongxiang opened his mouth, and finally put the sentence "Why don't you let me be the governor of Shandong." swallowed back, after all, he is also from Shandong, and he used to be a general of the Beiyang New Army, and the two of them have the same rank, both of them are standard commanders, and the qualifications of being the governor of Shandong are compared with Wang Zhanyuan, which is also half a catty to eight taels, and no one has to be humble.

Wu Luzhen patted Lu Yongxiang on the shoulder, half comforting and half encouraging, and said: "Wang Zhanyuan went too anxious just now, I'm afraid he doesn't know where the meeting is going, you hurry up now and tell him." The place where the meeting took place was not in the General Headquarters, nor in the General Staff, but in the auditorium of the Provincial High School Hall, where the space was spacious. You tell Wang Zhanyuan again, if you go late, I'm afraid that his Shandong governor won't have to do it, I'm afraid he will have to give it to others. ”

As soon as Wu Luzhen's voice fell, Lu Yongxiang thanked him, asked where the middle school hall was located, turned around and ran there, without any intention of chasing Wang Zhanyuan.

Looking at the direction where Lu Yongxiang was going, and then looking at the direction where Wang Zhanyuan was going, Wu Luzhen's face showed a rare smile.

"These two guys, you can believe what others say. It's no wonder that he's so down. They don't want to think about it, how did the Republican Army start? When it comes to saying that the meeting starts at two o'clock, it means that the meeting will start at two o'clock, and it will never be one minute earlier, let alone one minute later. But then again, this humble man is blessed. I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will have a deep meaning when I hand over the governor of Shandong to you, and it is also very important for me to pretend to be a "big mouth".

Wu Wu Luzhen's innocuous joke really made Wang Zhanyuan panic, and also made Lu Yongxiangkong happy, because this high-level military meeting did not change the meeting time, and it was still held at two o'clock in the afternoon, so when Lu Yongxiang rushed to the venue, the door of the auditorium had not yet opened. The sentry was guarding with guns and did not allow Lu Yongxiang to enter the auditorium, and when Wang Zhanyuan rushed to the auditorium of the provincial middle school hall out of breath, he happened to see Lu Yongxiang and the sentry blowing his beard and glaring.

Soon the two of them understood, it turned out that the meeting had not yet begun, so they stopped arguing with the sentry, and waited honestly at the door of the auditorium, until the senior officers who were attending the meeting arrived one after another, and the two did not say a word, no way, both of them are now suspicious.

Jiang Fangzhen and others expressed great surprise that Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan were able to rush to Zhengzhou so quickly, in their opinion, if all the generals of the Beiyang Army could be as efficient as the two in front of them, then the Beiyang Army would not be completely defeated in this battle between the north and the south.

Seeing Jiang Fangzhen, Wang Zhanyuan stammered and asked, "I heard that the commander-in-chief asked me to be the governor of Shandong?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile: "Who did you listen to?" It can't be Wu Luzhen, right? When did this person suddenly become a big mouth, and everyone said that you, Chief Wang, are going to be the governor of Shandong. ”

"That's what the Commander-in-Chief said?" Lu Yongxiang's face was almost green, and he was burning with jealousy.

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said, "The decision made by the commander-in-chief in the morning to nominate Wang Zhanyuan as the governor of Shandong, the telegram has been sent to Xu Shichang. Now the call back hasn't come yet, once Xu Shichang nods, you, Wang Zhanyuan, will be the governor of Shandong. ”

Jiang Fangzhen's voice fell, and an adjutant hurried over, searched the crowd, and stuffed a telegram to Wang Zhanyuan.

Wang Zhanyuan took the telegram, immediately smiled, and said: "I said a long time ago, there are a few Duanzhigui in Beiyang who are the most righteous, no, as soon as he heard that I was going to be the governor of Shandong, he sent me a telegram to talk about friendship, and asked me to take care of it more in the future." ”

When Lu Yongxiang heard this, "The fire in the head is even stronger." endured it without a seizure, they were all Beiyang generals, and they were all revolutionary fathers of the "pre-battle uprising". Why is Wang Zhanyuan more open than himself?

"You and I are both traitors in the eyes of Beiyang. Xu Shichang probably will not agree to you being appointed as the governor of Shandong. As soon as this example is opened, I am afraid that Beiyang will not be a heart in the future. Lu Yongxiang said to Wang Zhanyuan.

Wang Zhanyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "So what? I'm still an uprising general in the eyes of the people! I don't want to be the governor of Shandong, who can be the governor of Shandong? Besides, Beiyang is not a heart, what does Xu Shichang think in his heart. How do you know? ”

"You're also counted" as an uprising general,? You forgot. How did you talk when you were in the Hanyang Headquarters? Li Huang Gap is not allowed to bomb the arsenal. What do you say? ”

Lu Yongxiang only felt that his blood was surging, and he was about to expose the other party's shortcomings, but before the official war between them began, he heard an officer shout.

"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived! All of them, lined up! Attention! Salute! ”

All the officers waiting in front of the auditorium hurriedly lined up and stood up, divided into two columns, raised their hands and saluted, Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan always stood together in the past, but now, the two of them stood in one column, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

In the hostile gaze of Lu Yongxiang and Wang Zhanyuan, Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the revolutionary armed forces of the United Front, walked over with the guards, and did not even look at the two of them, but followed the captain of the guards, Qin Sihu, who gave them a few fat.

The commander-in-chief walked into the meeting hall first, and the other more than 200 officers attending the meeting also entered the meeting and took their seats.

"Now, roll call!"

An adjutant stepped up to the podium with a list in hand. He began to read aloud the names of the participants, and for each of them, an officer stood up at the bottom, and when the list was finished, no one slipped away.

After the roll call, Zhao Bei walked to the podium unhurriedly and started the meeting.

"I invite you to come over for a meeting today, mainly to arrange the next strategic move, but before the formal meeting, I have a servant to announce. Just this morning, I have nominated Brigadier Wang Zhanyuan as the candidate for the post of governor of Shandong, and if Xu Shichang does not object, he will immediately go to Shandong to take up his post. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei looked at Wang Zhanyuan and said a few words of encouragement.

"Brigadier General Wang, Shandong will depend on you to govern in the future. I hope that you will be diligent and conscientious, and take the interests of the people as the highest interests and the interests of the country as the highest interests. ”

Wang Zhanyuan stood up in a daze, stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, patting his chest and promising to govern Shandong.

Glancing at the impassioned Wang Zhanyuan, and then at the smiling commander-in-chief, Lu Yongxiang was left with only that deep stunned feeling in his heart.

People are more popular than people, why can Wang Zhanyuan be so favored by the commander-in-chief?

Just when Lu Yongxiang was sad. But I heard Zhao Bei on the podium say a few more words.

"Just now, Xu Shichang sent me a telegram to discuss the current situation in the three eastern provinces, Xu Shichang intended to promote Zhang Zuoshuang as the governor of the three eastern provinces, but was opposed by Duan Qirui. Now he has asked for my opinion and wants me to support him in my capacity as Chairman of the United Front. However, I think that with the current complicated situation in the three eastern provinces, it would be better to abolish the "Governor." Zhang Zuoshuang can be the Liaoning town guard, then, the Heilongjiang town guard and the Jilin town guard must also choose the right person to take the position, I think it is more appropriate for the Jilin town guard to be Feng Delin, who was in the Zhangde uprising. As for the Heilongjiang town guard, after careful consideration, I felt that it would be more appropriate for Lu Yongxiang to serve as the envoy. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yongxiang felt like a thunderbolt in his ears, and stood up in shock.

He suddenly remembered what the cattle dealer on the train had said, and now all that was left in his mind was the phrase "get promoted and get rich"

But for the other officers here. They're thinking about something else.

Why did Xu Shichang ask Zhao Bei for his opinion on the issue of the three eastern provinces? Couldn't he subdue the entire Beiyang? Why did Zhao Bei propose to abolish the governors of the three eastern provinces? Why did he nominate Lu Yongxiang, the general of Beiyang, to be the envoy of Heilongjiang Town? Is it really as some reporters have speculated that the United Front is going to "merge" with the Beiyang Group?

The commander-in-chief's strategy is indeed a little incomprehensible.
