"Tell me." The gold watch is in hand, the silver is in the bag, the stone pipe belt and even the title has changed, and there is a cordiality in the words: "They all said that they went to the West, and they all learned that Westerners don't know how to be accommodating. ”

"Compliments, adults." Wang Hengyue owed a debt, and handed over the appointment document as he spoke.

When the stone pipe belt opened the official document, the first thing that caught his eye was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, which was the practice of officialdom, although it was not surprising, the stone pipe belt inevitably praised Wang Hengyue in his heart.

Cover up the official document: "Say, my second battalion is a new formation, and the supply of soldiers is insufficient, and the salary is insufficient, so you still have to find your own way." ”

Wang Hengyue had already prepared for these things, and immediately nodded and responded one by one.

Seeing that Wang Hengyue agreed, Shi Fengrong was in a happy mood: "Shuzhi, it's not that this pipe is embarrassing for you, it's really that the court also has difficulties, we errand boys must always be considerate and considerate, right?" ”

Wang Hengyue said "yes, yes" a few times, and Shi Fengrong thought for a while: "The first team is stationed in Rong County, and now this one has some scale, some scale."

Shi Fengrong's appearance made Wang Hengyue a little strange, but he didn't care, and suddenly felt that the name "Rong County" sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Shi Fengrong continued: "Shu Zhi will take a break, and he will be able to take office tomorrow." The pipe belt was supposed to be sent, but this was really overwhelmed by official duties. ”

"Your Excellency."

After chatting for a while, Shi Fengrong served tea to the guests, and Wang Hengyue got up to say goodbye.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Wang Hengyue suddenly shouted: "Rong County!" I remember! ”

Yu Lei beside him was startled: "My lord, Rong County was the feudal country of Qingyang Xuanhuan, the son of the Yellow Emperor, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Rongde County in the Song Dynasty, and Rong County in the Ming Dynasty, not far from Leshan. ”

"No, no, I just lost my mind." Wang Hengyue waved his hand and didn't explain much.

In fact, he suddenly thought in his heart that Rongxian was the first to break away from the Manchu political axe and announce the regime of Reading Power, which shook the world, and called "the first righteousness is the first in the world"!

He was actually assigned to Rong County?

Does that righteousness have anything to do with yourself?

Back at the inn, and Yang Fangyun and Pete told him about being assigned to Rong County, Yang Fangyun still had no expression, but Pete jumped up excitedly: "Great, according to the Chinese, you are the local chief." We are all small members, small members! ”

Wang Hengyue laughed loudly, what kind of big and small officer, he is just a small team officer, where can he talk about the word "big member".

Seeing that it was getting late, several people hurriedly ate some food, Wang Hengyue returned to his room and wanted to rest, when the door was suddenly knocked "bang", there was no second choice except Pete.

When he opened the door, he saw Pete jumping in, followed by a young man, and Pete exclaimed excitedly: "Where don't humans sew, Lord Wang, I will introduce you to an old friend of mine!" ”

Wang Hengyue and the young man behind Pete were stunned at first, and then laughed nonstop. The meaning of this sentence "where do human beings do not sew" should really be pronounced as "where do not meet in life".

Pete wondered what these two were laughing at? The Chinese they used was so apt that they should be appreciative: "Wang Da, he is my friend, we met in the United States." It is 'persuading the gentleman to have another glass of wine, and there is no reason for the sunset'. ”

Wang Hengyue couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed wildly, and the young man also laughed happily: "Pete, it's done, it's done, we all know that you speak Chinese well." ”

Invited the young man to sit down with Pete, and seeing that Pete was about to speak again, the young man hurriedly said first: "Lord Wang, my name is Liu Sihai, the word Zhenxing, from Rong County, Sichuan." ”

"Oh, you're from Rong County?" Wang Hengyue's attention was immediately attracted: "I am about to go to Rong County to take up my post. ”

"Pete has already told me." Liu Sihai nodded and said: "I am twenty-six this year, in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, I entered the third phase of the artillery department of the non-commissioned officer school to study, and in the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu, I graduated with the second grade, and the first place at that time was Zhang Liangyuan, a native of Ninghai, and was later sponsored by Zhou Yushan, the governor of Liangjiang, to serve as the governor of Zhili Prefecture. After graduating, Sihai went on a study tour to Germany, where he studied artillery technology at the Krupp Gun Factory in Essen for more than a year. Later, he returned to China via the United States, and only then did he recognize Pete. ”

Wang Hengyue's eyes lit up.

There are three people around him, Yang Fangyun doesn't know how deep or shallow, Pete always says how powerful he is, but no one has seen it, let alone Yu Lei. But this person in front of him is really a rare talent.

Zhang Liangyuan himself knows that he was the chief of staff of the Western Army in Kaiping Town, and graduated first in the artillery department, one stage earlier than the later "Three Heroes of China" Jiang Baili, Cai Yi, and Zhang Xiaohuai.

What is even more rare is that this person also went to the Krupp factory to study.

Germany had one of the highest concentrations of students sent by the Qing Dynasty, many of whom went to the Krupp gun factory in Essen to learn artillery technology.

At present, such a person is placed in front of him, and he must not let it go.

didn't say what he thought in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Brother Zhenxing is such a talent, what is his current position?" ”

Liu Sihai let out a long sigh: "After Sihai came back, he wanted to serve the country with his ability and enthusiasm. However, Lord Ding, who recommended Sihai to study in Yueben, was deposed and exiled by the imperial court, and the people recommended by Lord Ding were all rejected by the imperial court one by one. Sihai looked for opportunities everywhere, but found nothing over the years. Disheartened, he wants to return to his hometown in Rong County and become a teacher. Who wanted to meet Lord Wang and Pete here. ”

"It's not fair, it's not fair!" Pete shouted loudly: "Liu, you have great ability, I admire it, your emperor is not fair!" ”

"It's not fair." Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, and had already made up his mind in his heart: "Brother Zhenxing, I have a presumptuous request." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Wang Hengyue cleared his throat: "Hengyue was assigned to Rong County this time as a team officer, if Brother Zhenxing doesn't dislike it, how about joining the army with me?" ”

"Rong County? Army? Liu Sihai's body moved.

Wang Hengyue nodded, and said frankly: "Brother Zhenxing, my official is actually not in the eyes of Brother Zhenxing, I haven't even seen half of my soldiers, and as for the cannon, there is no more, so I really have some grievances to ask Brother Zhenxing to go over." But Hengyue really wants to run the new army well, so he can only ask shamefully, please Zhenxing Brother agree no matter what! ”
