Qin Guangcheng took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly:

"Since Yuan Shikai trained in a small station and Zhang Xiangshuai reformed the military and politics, all localities have followed suit, and my Sichuan is no exception. After the former governor Xiliang was transferred to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, he went to Yunnan with the newly trained army and 150,000 salaries, and the alternate prefect Zhong Ying took over as the assistant commander of the Sichuan army, and organized and trained 33 mixed associations, and Zhou Daogang and Liu Hongkui, who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, served as the commander of the 65th and 66th standards, and have now been trained into the fourth battalion of the army and two teams of artillery. ”

Wang Hengyue heard it in his ears, what Qin Guangcheng meant, it was rare to let himself go to the army?

Sure enough, Qin Guangcheng then said slowly: "Recently, Zhong Ying is going to train another battalion of the army, what I mean is that I want to get my brother into the new army as a hideout." There are many sympathetic revolutionaries in the new army, even if the brothers occasionally do not notice and expose their identities, or there is still room for salvation, I wonder what the brothers want? ”

To the army? Wang Hengyue is very happy. In his own time, whenever he had free time, he would flip through historical and military books, always imagining how it would be to join the army one day, but he did not expect that this wish would be possible in this era.

Then he hesitated a little: "Brother Qin, it's good, but how to get in is a big problem?" I've got my braids cut too, and I'm suspected of being a revolutionary, so I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble, right? ”

"It's okay, only if my brother is willing, I naturally have a way!" Qin Guangcheng smiled and said: "Zhong Ying has a right-hand man, Ye Xuanbiao, who is a capital leader, and he will handle all the big and small things in the new army. This person is usually the most afraid of foreigners, and he is the most superstitious about foreigners' things, but as long as he has a little fart with foreigners, this Ye Duling thinks it is good. Charlie Du is the best friend of him, because Charlie Du runs a foreign company, and there are many benefits and filial piety in peacetime, and Ye Xuanbiao is obedient to him. As long as Charlie Du opened his mouth, Ye did not disagree. ”

"Oh? And such people? Wang Hengyue was very curious.

Qin Guangcheng laughed: "There is a story about this Ye Duling, let me tell you about it." Anyway, Ye Duling was very interested, and he took his own soldiers to go down to Weifu for a private visit, but when he walked to the countryside, he suddenly heard from a distance, 'Foreigners are coming, foreigners are coming'. Ye Duling was shocked, and hurriedly stood on the side of the road with his own soldiers respectfully and respectfully to greet the foreigners, but when he got closer, his nose was almost crooked, guess what? It turned out that it was a child shouting there, 'The sheep are coming, the sheep are coming', Ye Du led the ears, and he didn't hear clearly, he just thought it was 'the foreigner is coming', but he didn't expect that he had ushered in a flock of sheep. ”

Wang Hengyue was stunned at first, and then laughed.

The ugliness of these Manchu officials is really revealed in this Ye Duling.

Qin Guangcheng also said with a smile: "It is even more difficult to let Charlie Du take the money out, but he is the most willing to do such a favor, and Charlie Du will come with the silver in a while, so I should naturally talk to him." ”

"Then thank you Brother Qin." Wang Hengyue suppressed his smile and said seriously.

After chatting there for a while, there was a sudden angry scolding from Charlie Du and Luo Fuzhi outside, and then another person's pleading voice came.

Qin Guangcheng listened to it for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's that shameless show again." ”

"Shameless showman? Who is it? Wang Hengyue was a little strange.

Qin Guangcheng sighed: "This person's name is Yu Lei, his name is Deguang, he is in his thirties this year, he has a talent and fame on his body, he is from Guanghan, he has only one sister in the family, he is not doing his job in peace, he walks the streets and alleys in Chengdu, swaggers and deceives, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he harms the people around him, and he has no friends later." He once met us occasionally, and since then he has been pestering us all day long. At first we helped him with a penny or two, but then, hey."

As he spoke, he walked out with Wang Hengyue, and saw Charlie Du and Luo Fuzhi rushing and scolding a man in his thirties, thinking that this person was Yu Lei.

But this Xiucai named Yu Lei, no matter how the other party beat and scolded, he just didn't leave with a shy face, begging for a few pennies to eat, no matter what kind of ugly words the other party said, he was always smiling.

"Shopkeeper Qin, the student has asked you to say goodbye." As soon as he saw Qin Guangcheng come out, Yu Lei actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times before standing up.

Qin Guangcheng shook his head again and again: "Deguang, you are so famous, how can you do things so shamelessly?" ”

Yu Lei smiled and didn't care at all: "Shopkeeper Qin, there is no way, I am really hungry, I haven't eaten for a few days, you should pity me, throw me two pennies, and never dare to disturb your old man from now on." ”

"Fuck you!" Charlie Du, who has always held his identity, couldn't help but burst into flames: "You cheat today, you cheat tomorrow, you can't do anything shameless for a few pennies!" Who doesn't know in Chengdu? ”

"Let's go, let's go, I won't pity you anymore." Qin Guangcheng waved his hand.

Who would have thought that this Yu Lei would not leave, and he was pleading and begging.

Seeing that there were more onlookers on the side, Wang Hengyue was thinking about his military career, and he didn't want to entangle with him too much here, so he asked Qin Guangcheng for more than a dozen yuan and stuffed it into Yu Lei's walk;

"Let's go, let's go, the world is so big, there is always a place for you to stand, why bother making people laugh here? Go back and take your sister with you, and have a good time. ”

Yu Lei's expression changed, the corners of his eyes jumped a few times unknowingly, and then he thanked him a lot.

"Brother, don't be pitiful to such people. I also pitied him at the beginning, but I don't know how many times I was deceived by him. Qin Guangcheng complained a few times and returned to the mansion with a few people.

Coming to the living room and handing over the gold watch and silver ticket, Qin Guangcheng told Charlie Du his thoughts, Charlie Du didn't have time to think about it when he heard it, and patted his chest in agreement. I just think it's a pity, it's rare to catch the son of a big overseas businessman, and there will be a lot of business to do in the future, why is the other party going to be a soldier, what's the meaning of being a soldier?

Charlie Du didn't know that Wang Hengyue's ancestors had nothing to do with overseas at all, and what kind of merchant family was Qin Guangcheng who was helping to blow the conch.

After gossiping there again, Charlie Du and Luo Fuzhi got up to say goodbye, and agreed to come back tomorrow and go to Ye Xuanbiao together, Qin Guangcheng wanted to keep them for dinner, and the two did not agree.

Sending the two out of the door, Qin Guangcheng grabbed Wang Hengyue's hand and whispered: "Come, brother, being an elder brother will give you something, it will be very good for you to be in the army." ”

Qin Guangcheng's mysterious appearance made Wang Hengyue very curious, and he didn't know what it was, it was worth keeping it so secret, so he didn't want to ask too much, and he entered Qin Guangcheng's bedroom together.
