Chapter 82: Arrival

Although the fighting in Wuhan is very fierce now, and the Hubei Revolutionary Army, which is also on the same front as himself, is in a difficult situation, Yan Guang only pays a little attention to this.

Yuan Shikai's real purpose is very clear to him, that is, to force the Manchu royal family to abdicate by taking advantage of the current situation of the rebel army, and then let himself and the Beiyang Group under his command take power. Don't look at the fight so hard now, it is just to suppress the arrogance of the revolutionary army, if the revolutionary army is really defeated, the most panicked person in the whole of China is Yuan Shikai.

Compared with the war in Wuhan, Yan Guang is more concerned about the current affairs, such as...

"Okay, Wang Er, Ding Han, let's go, don't let Deputy Governor Zhu wait for a long time." As he spoke, Yan Guang took the coat from a soldier's hand.

Looking at Yan Guang's very refreshing movements, Wang Er and Song Dinghan could only smile bitterly and shake their heads.

Because the return of Zhu Qinglan and the Sichuan New Army is a major event, as early as more than two hours ago, people with heads and faces in Chengdu have rushed to the city gate, and even Wang Er and Song Dinghan, the ministers of the military and political axes, have been standing outside for a long time, only Yan Guang...

Only Yan Guang, the governor of the military and political axes, actually threw everyone down and ran to the house to hide from the cold wind with the stove.

Because Yan Guang was the governor, although the others had no choice but to throw him alone in the house, the rest of the people were all standing at the city gate and frozen. It wasn't until not long ago that a team of cavalry arrived and informed Song Dinghan of Zhu Qinglan's location.

When they learned that Zhu Qinglan was less than half an hour away from Chengdu, Wang Er and Song Dinghan hurriedly ran to the house to pull Yan Guang out.

Fortunately, Yan Guang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he stood up very happily after heating the sweater on the stove. It's just that looking at Yan Guang with a very happy look, Wang Er and Song Dinghan really don't know what expression they should make, and after thinking about it, I'm afraid that only a wry smile is the most suitable.

After getting dressed neatly, Yan Guang, Wang Er and the others walked out of the house, and the 600-person guards who were exclusive to Yan Guang outside had been preparing for a long time.

These 600 people were left after Yan Guang deducted from the original 1,000-strong ranks, minus the soldiers who died and were wounded during the uprising, and the more than 300 soldiers who were subsequently filled into the Second Division and the Twelfth Brigade.

Since the number 600 happened to be a battalion, Yan Guang organized these 600 people into his own direct guard battalion. (600 people in a battalion at the end of the Qing Dynasty)

According to Yan Guang's plan, after the reorganization of the 2nd Division, the 3rd Division, and the 12th Brigade, two new divisions will be formed, which are completely their own descendants, and these 600 people will be the first batch of officers in these two divisions.

At that time, Yan Guang will have to recruit 600 people to be his guards.

A battalion of guards is enough for Yan Guang.

In addition to the 600-person guards responsible for Yan Guang's safety, in order to prevent accidents (such as Zhu Qinglan's fraud), Yan Guang also arranged a regiment of the second division to be responsible for the security outside the city, although whether it is weapons and equipment or training, etc., there is a big gap between the second division that was originally a patrol battalion and the third division from the Sichuan New Army, but in the face of the Sichuan New Army, the patrol battalion is definitely Yan Guang's trustworthy force.

A vendetta...

――――――――――

Some of the gentry and officials who had been standing outside the city for a long time frowned when they saw Yan Guang come out surrounded by guards, but they didn't say anything, while others simply closed their eyes and didn't bother, after all, it was really not an authentic thing to leave them outside and run into the house to hide from the cold wind.

"Ding Han, Zhu Qinglan, how long will they have to arrive?" Taking Wang Er and them to their own positions, Yan Guang asked Song Dinghan beside him in a low voice.

Song Dinghan replied after looking at the watch on his wrist. "Probably less than 20 minutes left." Saying that, Song Dinghan glanced at Yan Guang with a strange expression. "Governor, don't you want to go back to the house to hide from the wind?"

"How could it be, how could it be!" Yan Guang waved his hand again and again.

took out an iron kettle filled with hot water from his arms, and Yan Guang and Song Dinghan stood outside the city gate waiting together.

After about 20 minutes passed, a team finally appeared in the distance in Yan Guang's line of sight.

"Coming, coming!!" After seeing the figure of the team, someone immediately shouted.

After a while, the team in the distance became clearer.

"This is the original cavalry mark of the Seventeenth Town." Rubbing his hands, Wang Er's eyes were full of greed.

Patting Wang Er's shoulder, Yan Guang said with a smile. "Don't be envious of others, I'll get you a cavalry division after a while."

"Boss, that's what you said!"

"How many times have I told you to call the handsome !!?"

While Yan Guang and Wang Er were talking, this cavalry team of more than 1,000 horsemen was about to arrive in front of Yan Guang and the others.

The cavalry standard is one of the standard establishments of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, basically the new army in each town will have a cavalry standard (equivalent to a regiment, 1117 people are a cavalry standard), an artillery standard and an engineer battalion and a baggage battalion, these troops plus 4 infantry standards, is the composition of a town of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Brother Ziqiao, it's been a long time!! Although Yan Guang and Zhu Qinglan have met twice, and the words they have said may not add up to 20 words, Yan Guang still greeted them with a cordial face.

Seeing Yan Guang coming up, Zhu Qinglan hurriedly flipped off the horse.

"Governor, it's been a long time."

Just when Yan Guang and Zhu Qinglan were greeting each other at the city gate, in the cavalry standard that came with Zhu Qinglan, there were three officers who kept staring at Yan Guang.

"It's hard to imagine that the person who played mahjong with us on the boat actually became the governor of the military and political axe." Chen Yuguo, who was hidden in the cavalry ranks, said in an unspeakable tone.

"There are many things in this world that are beyond your imagination..."Zhao Wenping said lightly, but his eyes were staring at Yan Guang like Chen Yuguo.

"Okay, okay, you guys don't have to get into a fight." After feeling the signs of quarrel, Zhou Zining hurriedly interjected with a wry smile. "Speaking of which, do you think he still remembers the three of us?" (Author's words: I remember him)

After returning to the new army, the three of them looked much better than when Yan Guang saw them in the military academy, and even the clothes on their bodies were changed to the style of officers.

"I don't know, but I think about it and I'm going to be under the command of my former gamblers, this feeling is really..."Zhao Wenping said with a wry smile.

"Yes..."Chen Yuguo and Zhou Zining also nodded.
