Chapter Twenty-Three: Choosing and Leading the Troops

Early the next morning, Han Zheng, Wang Xian, and Li Feng got up as usual and did military gymnastics seriously.

Last night, they were temporarily arranged by Jiang Baili to live in the dormitory area of the school, and this night was the most stable sleep for Han Zheng and them since returning to China.

Although it was the first stop of their group when they were in Shanghai, Han Zheng was always thinking about things, thinking about how to deal with Chen Qimei, so how could he sleep peacefully? !

After everyone finished the morning exercise, breakfast had been brought up by the guards, and the breakfast was all familiar to them, a few fritters, and a few bowls of soy milk, which made everyone who had not eaten for a long time very comfortable.

In the morning, because Jiang Baili wanted to help them inquire about the specific arrangements of the few of them in the future, they didn't tell Han Zheng and the others to go busily, Han Zheng and the others just thought that Principal Jiang had other things, and they were not in the school, and they didn't think much about these things when they were relaxed.

After breakfast, a few people went to the street under the leadership of Liu Qi, Han Zheng didn't want to trouble the other party, but since he came, it was not easy to drive away, right? Of course, Xiang Jie was not left behind this time.

A few people walked casually on a few nearby streets, and everyone walked around a few streets, but it was not yet noon, but soon, the guards of the school came and told a few people that the principal was back, and they wanted to talk to them about some things, and it was estimated that the general arrangement of a few people had come down.

When Han Zheng and the others heard this, they stopped shopping, hurried back to the school, and walked to the principal's office under the leadership of the guards.

After making the report, Jiang Baili asked a few of them to come in, and asked Han Zheng and the other three how they slept last night and whether they were used to some common words, and slowly entered today's topic.

"I went out to find someone to inquire just now, and I want to ask you about the specific arrangements for the future. The news I got is not very good, although Lord Yuan attaches great importance to you, but now all the armies have reported that there is no vacancy, Lord Yuan said that he can't do it, so he can only let his third town of Beiyang draw out some sergeants, form a new standard and hand it over to you, saying that it is to see your training ability first, or there is another way that you can go to the Military Advisory Bureau to exercise for a while, so that you can use it in the future, do you think you want that road? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili's own face was not very good-looking, and he was not prepared to hide the news he heard from a few people today, but Jiang Baili himself did not know the Tao in this.

It is said that there are no places in the various armies, so can't the positions of the three people be arranged? They have to be high-ranking officials, and those who enjoy the wealth and wealth still want to reserve a place for their cronies, and once there is a vacancy, how many people will fight for it?

Moreover, this time the students who returned from studying in Germany stayed in Shanghai without asking for instructions, which also made Yuan Shikai feel guilty, and he didn't want a few of them to join his henchmen's army.

But fortunately, Yuan Shikai did not do anything about this, and the province hurt the hearts of those students who returned to serve the country. I had to create a new standard to see their ability and loyalty to lead troops.

Hearing this, Han Zheng and the others realized that Principal Jiang had gone to inquire about their future this morning, which made several people very moved.

However, listening to the meaning of Jiang Baili's words, Han Zheng looked at each other, although they had some psychological preparations, but when the reality came, they were still a little surprised, but thinking about what happened in Shanghai, coupled with the incident of the school students blowing up the railway during the Wuchang Uprising, it is indeed something that can make others suspicious, and this is exactly what they can't do.

Several people thought for a while, Han Zheng glanced at Wang Xian and Li Feng, and nodded their heads.

Han Zheng met Jiang Baili's eyes again, they knew that this venerable principal was also doing his best, in order not to make the principal worry and embarrassed, they had to pretend that they didn't know anything and said: "We don't have any other requirements for such an arrangement above, and we have to thank Lord Yuan for it, but forget it when we go to the Military Advisory Bureau, the principal should know that we are all soldiers, and if we are soldiers, we will always want to go to the battlefield to serve the country." Since Lord Yuan wants to see our ability to lead troops, this arrangement is exactly what we mean, leading soldiers is better than sitting on a chair, and I hope that the principal can pass on our meaning to Lord Yuan. ”

Jiang Baili heard their reply, looked at Han Zheng's heroic face, and said Sure enough, it seems that the other party really let himself guess correctly, his mind is clear and he is not willing to be ordinary, he can know what is the foundation of his career in the troubled times, and he just hopes that these students can be a real person for the country and the people.

For the above arrangement, in this sensitive period of the whole country, Jiang Baili has no choice but to be dissatisfied in his heart, and he still doesn't know how long he can be in this position. Some time ago, I was reprimanded for my students' affairs, but now I am more and more ignored when I speak, and many of my students are just getting a foothold in the army, and they can't help much. But when he heard that Han Zheng was willing to lead the troops, he felt that he couldn't bear the students who had worked so hard to believe in him, and at the same time, his heart was a little complicated, and Han Zheng didn't know Jiang Baili's entanglement at this time......

Jiang Baili glanced at a few people carefully, and then sighed and said, "Since you have this kind of thought, it's very good." You work hard, there will always be a time for those people to know your true ability, I will definitely help you implement the new target this time, try to implement the matter, save time and accidents, and try to find a way not to let others intervene to support your hind legs, you can rest assured. ”

Han Zheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they were really afraid that they would arrange an official master from above to point fingers at them. Hearing Jiang Baili's words, several people suddenly relieved their hearts, this is good, just to be able to bring out the soldiers they pulled up single-handedly.

For others, they may feel disheartened when they are given a cold reception just after returning to China, but Han Zheng is still satisfied with this arrangement from the bottom of his heart, and he leads the troops independently, which is an opportunity.

But it is not good to show a too happy expression at this time, so as not to be suspected by others, but Jiang Baili is very insightful of his thoughts, otherwise he would not have arranged the Advisory Bureau and at the same time has one more choice, without Jiang Baili, how can they have this opportunity to choose? If you don't get it right, you just go to the cold bench.

Jiang Baili was worried that Wang Xian and Li Feng had ideas in their hearts and would not be able to lead the troops seriously, so he encouraged them a few words, and finally saw that they really wanted to lead the troops, so he stopped mentioning these things, but just told them that this matter would be settled after the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Baili shouted outside the door, called Xiang Jie, who was waiting outside the door, in, and saluted a few of them after Xiang Jie came in, and stood on the side.

Jiang Baili pointed to Xiang Jie and said to Han Zheng: "You should know about this person, I won't introduce him much, he has just graduated this year, and the arrangement has not come down yet, how about I let him follow you?" ”

Hearing this, Xiang Jie hurriedly looked at Han Zheng, he had long wanted to join the army, he also heard the conversation just now, he was still very willing to follow Han Zheng and others, after all, they were all their seniors, and they still returned from studying in Germany, just following them to learn and study, the situation has been tense in the past few years, but there is no such good thing as studying abroad at public expense.

For Han Zheng, from the time he contacted Xiang Jie to the present, although he did not have a deep understanding of the other party, he could also see that this was a rare talent, with a cheerful personality, and the principal personally recommended it, could there be any mistakes? Therefore, when I heard this, it was too late to be happy, and it was impossible to push it out. hurriedly agreed, for fear that Jiang Baili would regret it, and said: "I welcome Senior Brother Xiang to come, our senior brothers are together, and we will definitely train a strong army." ”

"That's a good point," Jiang Baili listened to Han Zheng's words, saw the other party's happiness from the bottom of his heart, and said with a clear improvement in his mood: "Your brothers and sisters are united and cooperative, don't fall into the reputation of our Baoding Military Academy, and lead the troops well." ”

After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he said to Xiang Jie who was full of excitement alone: "You are going to join the army in the coming year, restrain your temperament, don't laugh and laugh every day, learn from your seniors, if something happens, I won't clean you up when the time comes." ”

This sentence made Xiang Jie embarrassed, Han Zheng and the others looked at Xiang Jie's embarrassed appearance, and felt funny, this Xiang junior is not an honest person, and now this kind of giggling appearance can be honest in front of the principal, but Han Zheng likes the other party's temperament.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you, do you remember Duan Nian, Chen Feng and Lin Xiang who were with you back then? They are also soldiers in the third town of Beiyang, and now they are considered to be the first-level officers, if there is anything to contact them, I will go back and inform them of the news that you have come. Jiang Baili remembered this incident after teaching Xiang Jie a lesson, and said to Han Zheng and the three of them.

How could they forget? Lin Xiang was the captain of the fourth team of the class that year, not to mention Duan Nian, especially Duan Nian, Chen Feng, Erzi and Busanbu and others are all good brothers, how can they forget? Now hearing the news of Lin Xiang, Chen Feng and Duan Nian, how can they be unhappy? A while ago, Han Zheng and the three of them were talking about how to find a few of them, but they didn't expect there to be news now.

Han Zheng hurriedly asked, "Principal, is there any news of Chen Feng and Er Dumb and the others?" ”

Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "Chen Feng and the others seem to be in the sixth town, as for the second stunned, they don't know too well, they haven't heard any news recently, and there will be nothing to do, you will ask when you see Chen Feng at that time." ”

Han Zheng and the others nodded yes, and glanced at Wang Xian, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts. There is news of the brothers, it is easy to find it, although Xiang Jie was a little puzzled by what they said, he didn't ask much, he was still immersed in the beautiful fantasy of leading the army to charge.

"You wait in the school for two more days, your approval will be done in these two days, after the approval comes down, look at the above arrangement, if you go to report on the leader after the year, you can still go home, but the New Year will be spent here with me, and then I will take you to my house for the New Year." After Jiang Baili arranged the matter, he said to Han Zheng and the others.

Han Zheng and the others responded, but Xiang Jie is now going back for the New Year, after all, there is a mother at home, his father died when he was not old, he was raised by his mother, the relationship between mother and son has always been very good, he plans to go home to celebrate the New Year with his mother before the year.

After chatting about other things for a while, Jiang Baili asked Xiang Jie to take them out to go out for more shopping, and then pick up the wind and wash the dust for them in the evening. I still have to deal with some things, and when I go back, I have to fight for Han Zheng and the others more, and the province will be fooled again.
