Zhu Qinglan and Xu Xiaogang rode their horses to the North School Field, and saw Xiao Yimin leading several officers under his command to stand outside the tall camp gate and wait from a distance.

The two hurriedly sped up, turned over and dismounted outside the camp gate, exchanged a few words with Xiao Yimin, who was smiling, and entered the camp together, Zhu Qinglan and Xu Xiaogang sighed all the way, and praised the well-equipped and brand-new camp.

The wide playground is as smooth as a mirror, and the various training facilities around the stadium are novel and strange, half of them can't name them, and can only guess their function; The avenues and trails that divide the camp into various areas are all asphalt roads, lined with neat green trees, and the large and small intersections are either covered with large trees or carefully built flower beds, and even the drainage ditches on both sides of the road are covered with square cement prefabricated slabs.

Looking at the north side, there are more than a dozen rows of two-story arcade-style barracks, and the three-story oceanic building in the middle that is being demolished.

Zhu Qinglan stood in front of the huge flowerbed in the center of the camp, looked up at the two hundred-year-old camphor trees in the center of the flowerbed, and then pointed to the newly renovated temple-style building on the edge of the pond in the east: "Brother Yiming has been working in that temple?" ”

Xiao Yimin shrugged: "I can't bear to live for a long time, so I asked people to rebuild it, and rebuilt a few rows of houses on the basis of the collapsed nave, built a circle of courtyard walls on all sides, and the younger brother ate, drank, and slept in it." ”

"Won't Yiming take us to see it?"

The careful Xu Xiaogang felt that there must be something new in this inconspicuous small temple that he didn't know, otherwise Xiao Yimin would not regard it as his own headquarters, and with Xiao Yimin's wealth and generosity, it would be easy to find a good place to build a headquarters in this imposing camp.

Xiao Yimin happily agreed, and warmly invited everyone to come over for a cup of tea.

Enter the gate guarded by the guards, the small courtyard planted with plum trees comes into view, the north end of the two-meter-wide path with carved stone slabs laid in the middle is the renovated hall, the original decay and obsolete six pillars, replaced with larger and thicker concrete pillars and painted with red paint, and the whole blue brick and gray tile building complement each other, all the windows are replaced with the simple glass lattice style, at a glance, the whole hall is new and simple atmosphere, where is there still a trace of broken temple?

When sitting down to drink tea, Zhu Qinglan, Xu Xiaogang and the two adjutants were still looking around and sighing, in addition to the north wall is covered by a large wood carving of the "Zhenzi Battalion" logo flying leopard pattern, the east and west walls are full of calligraphy and paintings of celebrities from all walks of life, Zhu Qinglan took a cursory glance, and found that half of the authors were old acquaintances, including the former governor Zhao Erfeng and the current speaker Luo Lun and other ink treasures are among them.

"It's beautiful! It's no wonder that Brother Yiming chose this place as his lair, and it was really comfortable and comfortable. Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but praise, and several others echoed him.

"Drink tea, drink tea, this tea is the best spring tea on Mengding Mountain, the little brother is cheeky and half buys and half grabs, and only got fifteen catties, it is estimated that it will be gone if it can't be drunk in the spring next year, but it's a pity!" Xiao Yimin greeted everyone with a smile on his face.

Zhu Qinglan almost squirted out a sip of tea in his mouth:

"Fifteen pounds? Obediently, this tea grows on the cliff, with a total output of less than fifty catties a year, and now it has risen to sixty oceans and there is no place to buy a catty, and you are not satisfied with getting back fifteen catties alone? ”

Xu Xiaogang half-jokingly and half-seriously reminded Zhu Qinglan:

"Have you forgotten that the highly respected old man Wang Yutang in Ya'an is Yiming's master? Yiming set up a (explosive) medicine factory and a bullet factory in Ya'an, and most of the officers and soldiers in the Zhenzi battalion are also from the six counties of Ya'an, not to mention that the four kinds of guns and ammunition of our new army have to be supplied by him, even in the whole of China, the scarce pointed rifle bullets can only be produced by him, what is a dozen catties of tea? ”

Xiao Yimin put away his smile, put down the teacup, and looked at Xu Xiaogang meaningfully:

"Brother Xu is a busy man, I remember that in early September, you came to see the construction of the camp, and the younger brother accompanied you to the guard tower in the southeast corner, since then, the younger brother just wants to invite you to sit and have a cup of tea, how can you suddenly have the time to visit the younger brother at this time?"

Xu Xiaogang didn't care about the ridicule in Xiao Yimin's words, and asked Zhu Qinglan Nunu, picked up the teacup and continued to taste tea.

Zhu Qinglan was no longer polite: "That's the case, I heard that the five hundred brothers of the Zhenzi Battalion took over the defense of the North Gate, so that the city defense army stayed or left, so we came over to take a look, before we came here, we went to the North Gate, I felt orderly, and then we came over." ”

Xiao Yimin explained sincerely: "It turned out that this incident alarmed the two elder brothers and the new army brothers, I am really embarrassed to tell the truth, although the north gate connects the major enterprises and factories set up by the younger brother in and out of the city, but the younger brother is not willing to take over the defense of the north gate at all, if it is not for the patrol police road two consecutive emergency documents handed over, and also obtained the transfer warrant of the border army commander Zhao, how can the younger brother do such a thankless job of guarding the door?"

"The younger brother has worked hard to complete this big camp, but he is already shy and exhausted, and the two thousand brothers under his command have not had time to train properly, so they really have no time to be distracted! Otherwise, the younger brother will go to Lord Zhao with the two elder brothers to talk about it later, and simply hand over the defense of the north gate to the new army, anyway, the 12,000 brothers of the new army are idle. ”

"No, no! Yiming, you see outside, we really don't know what is going on, since this is the case, you have to worry more, continue to guard the north gate, we can rest assured that you guard the north gate. Besides, you are also an old man from our new army, and you also know what the specific situation of the new army is now, although it has been hastily expanded to 12,000 officers and soldiers, half of them have not completed basic training, and the remaining three targets have to be stationed in the three large battalions inside and outside the city, and they also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the two major fortresses of Longquanyi in the east and Tianhui Town in the north, and they really can't spare manpower! ”

Zhu Qinglan complained bitterly in his mouth, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Xu Xiaogang after speaking.

Xu Xiaogang also let go of his thoughts, from Xiao Yimin's words, he clearly realized that Xiao Yimin is still the Xiao Yimin who secretly supports the Alliance and the Road Protection Movement, the reason why he took over the North Gate is completely by order, and the North Gate is now orderly, the city defense army that originally guarded the North Gate was not beaten and abused by the officers and soldiers of the Zhenzi Battalion, although now more than 100 city defense officers and soldiers have retreated into the small camp inside the North Gate, but they are free to enter and exit, without any restrictions.

Seeing the reactions of Zhu Qinglan and Xu Xiaogang, Xiao Yimin naturally understood that what they represented on this trip was the entire Sichuan New Army, and since everyone could understand each other, there would be nothing to do.

Don't think that Xiao Yimin is really willing to give up the defense of the North Gate, if Zhu Qinglan and Xu Xiaogang really put their noses on the face, he will definitely turn his face immediately, not only the North Gate, but also the West Gate, which has always been guarded by the Manchurian and Mongolian guards, is also the goal of Xiao Yimin, as long as the North Gate and the West Gate are controlled, it is equivalent to controlling half of Chengdu's political situation and military important places, which is an extremely critical major decision for Xiao Yimin and his interest groups.

Continue to chat with each other, and at Xiao Yimin's suggestion, Zhu Qinglan and Xu Xiaogang are ready to meet Zhao Erfeng.

Although Zhao Erfeng was no longer the governor of Sichuan at this time, he was still the minister of Jingbian, and he still had seven battalions of up to 38,000 officers and soldiers in his hands, and he was an armed force in Sichuan with a decisive surname! In case of a misunderstanding or a falling out, Zhao Erfeng could order his border troops to gather in Chengdu, and it is not yet known who will die at that time.

At this time, Zhao Erfeng, who was still living in the Governor's Mansion waiting for delivery, was not having a good time, and the chain reaction caused by the Wuchang New Army uprising had already appeared, and most of China was plunged into great turmoil.

Zhao Erfeng regretted his overreaction very much some time ago, he ignored the bitter pleading and repeated analysis of his beloved disciple Xiao Yimin, and in a fit of anger put under house arrest Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun, Zhang Lan and others who constantly persecuted him, and strictly ordered the guards to suppress the surging protesters, which eventually led to a tragedy of shooting and killing and wounding more than 30 people.

Afterwards, Zhao Erfeng immediately took control of the telegraph room, vainly trying to control the influence within the scope of Chengdu, and at the same time complied with the will of the people and petitioned the imperial court, preparing to resolve this grudge.

However, the newly appointed governor apparently forgot the ancient admonition that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the league organizations in various parts of Sichuan completely ignored Zhao Erfeng's goodwill, angrily wrote the story of the tragedy and the crusade with wooden boards and bamboo slips, and threw them into the river and down the river, spreading throughout Sichuan and the whole of China in a few short days.

Zhao Erfeng abandoned him in a blink of an eye for the Manchu court that had sold his life for him, and under the conspiracy of Sheng Xuanhuai and other courtiers, the Manchu court, which had repeatedly ordered Zhao Erfeng to "severely punish the people of Baolu", suddenly changed its face, and decisively removed Zhao Erfeng, who "provoked the people's uprising", from the post of governor of Sichuan with unprecedented efficiency, and quickly appointed Sheng Xuanhuai's close friend Duan Fang to take over as the governor of Sichuan, and immediately took office!

Zhao Erfeng, who was originally full of enthusiasm and determined to make a big deal in the governorship of Sichuan, has now become the object of spurning and a victim of all factions in the political arena.

Zhao Erfeng, who was in deep thought, immediately ordered to be led to the back hall, listened very carefully to the opinions of Zhu Qinglan and others, and promised on the spot to do his best to stabilize the status quo, and the unarmed riot would not order the border troops to enter Chengdu, release Pu Dianjun and other leaders of the Baolu Comrades Association as soon as possible, and leave everything else to the new governor Duanfang to solve.

Zhu Qinglan and the others left satisfied, and Xiao Yimin was left alone.
