Chapter 183: The Town Guard Arrives!!
The Acting Consulate of France is lit up tonight with melodious music!
The original consul Dujang is leaving, and the new consul Sean is coming.
Consuls and secretaries from all over the world gathered here to see off Consul Du Jean and welcome Consul Sean.
Not only that, but those big names in Sichuan have also arrived.
Hu Jingyi, Governor of Sichuan, and Wu Xiangzhen, Commander of the 4th Beiyang Mixed Brigade
Meeting Wu Xiangzhen here, Hu Jingyi was a little embarrassed.
In fact, this has something to do with my embarrassment in Sichuan!
Although he is nominally the governor of Sichuan, he does not have an army in his hands that completely obeys his orders and can be mobilized at any time. And what made Hu Jingyi most frustrated was that he helped Yuan Shikai quell the Sichuan rebellion, but Yuan Shikai was still not at ease with himself, and he still didn't treat himself as his own person!
Wu Xiangzhen is here, and there will be more forces of the Beiyang Army coming in, and it seems that his position as the governor of Sichuan is really dangerous
"Hu Dudu!" Wu Xiangzhen walked over with a smile on his face: "Hu Dudu put down the rebellion of the Sichuan Rebellion in one fell swoop, and made great contributions to the country, and the president is very happy!" β
"Thank you, thank you." Hu Jingyi arched his hand: "Brother is full of devotion to the president, and he succeeded by luck." Although Xiong Kewu has been pacified, the chaotic party activities in Sichuan are still rampant, and now that Brigade Commander Wu is here, everything is easy to do. β
"Hu Dudu is too humble, too humble." Wu Xiangzhen said repeatedly.
These two people, each with their own ghosts, laughed and said inconsequential things as if they were the closest friends.
At this moment, a shout came from the door:
"Lieutenant General and Division Commander of the Reading Power Mixed Division of the Republic of China Army, Wang Hengyue, the guard of southern Sichuan, has arrived!"
"What?"
Hu Jingyi and Wu Xiangzhen were stunned at the same time, almost unable to believe what they heard with their ears.
Who's coming? Wang Hengyue is here?
Isn't he too sick to get out of bed?
They heard correctly, and saw Wang Hengyue, who was wearing a military uniform, appeared in front of everyone under the care of two foreign doctors and the support of his wife Ma Yunxin.
There was a round of applause in the banquet hall, and the French consul Dujean, the new consul Sean, and the British Alex Anderson. Ekford and the second secretary of the United States, Stewang, actually greeted them together.
Du Rang smiled and said, "Lord Guardian, I'm so glad to see you here. Let me introduce you to my successor, Sean, the new acting French consul in Chengdu. β
"Hello, Mr. Sean." Wang Hengyue stretched out his hand and shook it with Sean.
Alex and Stewang are both Wang Hengyue's "old friends", and the two sides greeted each other and smiled understandingly.
Weiss, the consul officer of the Great German Qin in Sichuan, simply shook hands with Wang Hengyue.
After all, there is something wrong with the relationship between Germany and Britain and France, and there is still some distance between the two sides.
"You're finally here, King." Margaret walked over cheerfully.
Seeing Ma Yunxin beside Wang Hengyue, Margaret let out a low exclamation. Ma Yunxin, who was deliberately dressed up today, is really beautiful and radiant.
Margaret was not jealous at all, took Ma Yunxin's hand and said, "Madam, welcome here." Where are your clothes made? When I get back, you'll make one for me. β
Margaret didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, in her opinion, Wang Hengyue's home was not the same as her own home?
Taking advantage of the two women's words, Wang Hengyue came to Hu Jingyi and Wu Xiangzhen, saluted the "horn", and then gasped a few times: "Hu Dudu, good!" This must be Brigadier Wu, right? β
"Ah, good, good" Hu Jingyi has not reacted to what is going on so far.
Du Rang said with a smile on the side:
"I have been good friends with the town guard envoy in the Qing Dynasty, and I was very anxious when I heard that the town guard made me sick, so I specially invited two of the best French doctors to treat him, you see, it's not already much better."
"Ah, it's good, it's good." Hu Jingyi finally came back to his senses.
He didn't suspect that a foreign consul would help Wang Hengyue lie, but it was really troublesome to be angry with foreigners, so how good would it be for Wang Hengyue to die directly? Now in addition to the Beiyang forces, there is another Wang Hengyue.
Wang Hengyue may have "stood for a long time", and coughed repeatedly, and the French doctor on the side hurriedly said something loudly, and Du Rang translated there:
"It's time for the Keeper to get an injection again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll talk to you later." Wang Hengyue said weakly, and then went to the small lounge on the side with the support of the French doctor.
Closing the door, Du Rang said with a smile, "Lord Guard, it seems that they are all surprised by your recovery speed. β
"Yes, yes, I have to thank Mr. Consul." Wang Hengyue hugged his fist: "My people have come to Chengdu, please see them in a while, and you will have to rely on Mr. Consul to help you after you go to France." β
As he spoke, he took out a small jade Buddha from his pocket: "I don't have anything to give, this jade Buddha should be my thank you to Mr. Consul." β
"Lord Guard, you're too polite." Du Jean did not shirk and accepted the gift.
There were still guests to greet outside, so Du Rang asked Wang Hengyue to stay here for a while and hurriedly walked out.
Wang Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take a rest, when there was a knock on the door outside, Wang Hengyue hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, pretending to let the French doctor give an injection, and then said, "Please come in." β
It was Wu Xiangzhen who came in, saw Wang Hengyue's appearance, and said with a smile: "Foreigners' medical treatment is really very different from my China, doesn't it hurt if this needle is pierced?" β
"It hurts, it hurts." Wang Hengyue lowered his sleeves: "But compared to illness, these pains are nothing." The brother's life was picked up by this stitch one by one. β
"Rest well!" The French doctor spoke in dry Chinese, then closed the door and went out.
"Brigadier Wu, please be seated."
Wu Xiangzhen sat down: "The town guard envoy did not go to Chengdu with Cai Du and Yin Du this time, and the president regrets it very much. The town guard doesn't know that the president takes you very seriously, and after knowing that you are sick, he will sigh for a long time, and he can't eat or sleep well! β
You're polite, Lao Tzu is going to Chengdu, and it's not certain whether he can come back alive. Wang Hengyue also had a look of regret on his face: "Yes, I also regret not being able to meet the president." When my illness is completely cured, I will go to Yanjing no matter what, and ask the president for advice in person. When the time comes, I will ask Brigade Commander Wu to introduce you! β
"Well said, well said." Wu Xiangzhen said haha: "Brother came to Chengdu this time, his life is sparse, his eyes are black, and everything has to rely on the town guard to take care of the adult." β
Wang Hengyue said: "Speaking of taking care of it, it is really for Brigade Commander Wu to take care of his brothers. Although the brother has a town guard, but in terms of it, Brigade Commander Wu is the descendant of the president, and he is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. β
These words said Wu Xiangzhen's heart.
To tell the truth, although Wu Xiangzhen is only a brigade commander, he really doesn't take these governors and town guards in his eyes. These people, as long as the elite of Beiyang shoots them, they can be wiped out!
This king's town guard is also interesting.
"Brigade Commander Wu led the army to come, and he worked hard all the way, and my brother should have been a good one, and he was able to wash the dust for Brigade Commander Wu, but this body." Wang Hengyue sighed, and then took out a silver ticket:
"This is 10,000 taels of silver deposited in Chengdu Commercial Bank, Brigade Commander Wu will accept it as a reward for the brothers of the 4th Brigade!"
"How this makes, how does this make!"
Wu Xiangzhen didn't expect Wang Hengyue to do this suddenly, so he hurriedly excused himself again and again, but Wang Hengyue said with a blank face: "Doesn't Brigade Commander Wu regard his brother as a friend?" β
"Then, then I'll reluctantly accept it, thank you Lord Guard!" Wu Xiangzhen took the silver ticket and said.
Throughout the ages, there have been two things that have been invincible, one is silver and the other is beauty. How many heroes and heroes did not die on the battlefield, but fell under these two things.
And this is also one of the effective magic weapons that Wang Hengyue has repeatedly used!
Since the silver was given, the relationship between the two suddenly became a lot closer, and as they talked, they also talked about Hu Jingyi. Wu Xiangzhen looked at the door and whispered:
"Envoy, you and I are our own people, there is something I say to you that is fine, but you must not spread it. The president is very dissatisfied with the chaos in Sichuan, and he also has a lot of complaints about Hu Du, which has the meaning of rectifying Sichuan, but the candidate for succeeding Hu Du has not yet been decided.
"Brother knows, brother will be more cautious, thank you Brigade Commander Wu for reminding me." Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "Brigade Commander Wu is new to Sichuan, if there is any difficulty, although he came to Leshan to find his brother, but there are those who can help, and my brother will never refuse!" β
"Good!" Wu Xiangzhen gave a thumbs up: "The town guard makes people talk quickly, everyone is a soldier, and they don't hide it, in the future, you and I will be our own people, what is there to communicate with each other!" β
Wang Hengyue responded with a slight smile: "I heard that there is a big hall called 'Xiaochun Pavilion' in Chengdu, and tomorrow it is said that the brothers will be the east in the evening, and they will book a table there, and please also ask Brigade Commander Wu to appreciate it!" β
"The town guard makes the east, how can I not come to Wu?" Wu Xiangzhen readily accepted the invitation. Saying that, he stood up: "Hu Du is still waiting outside, my brother will leave first, and the town guard will ensure his health, and we will have more time to deal with in the future." β
"Don't send it, I'll see you and my brother 'Xiaochun Pavilion'!" Wang Hengyue arched his hand and said.
Seeing the door closed, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Hengyue's mouth.
In the current chaos, it depends on who can be the first to take the lead!
