Acting President Feng Guozhang arrived in Beijing on 1 August and went to Dongchang Hutong that night to meet with President Li Yuanhong and made a gesture to welcome him back to the presidential palace. He eagerly took Li Yuanhong's hand and said, "Guozhang has come to welcome the president." ”

Li Yuanhong knew that he was determined to win the president when he came north to Beijing this time, so he was just making a show to the world, although he was defeated, but the play still had to be performed, he also replied sincerely: "Yuanhong is old, confused, and it is difficult to be the president. The two of them responded to the story in vain, and it took half an hour to finish the play, and Feng Guozhang said goodbye and left.

Duan Qirui was worried about how to settle Wu Xiaoliang at this time, and Xu Shuzheng suggested that his mixed regiment be incorporated into the Beijing-Tianjin Garrison Command as the direct military force of the Anhui people in Beijing. In Beiyang, the Anhui forces with Duan Qirui as the are all in Zhejiang, Shandong, and Henan, and most of the people stationed in Zhili are relatives and direct people, and Cao Kun, the overseer of Zhili, is a direct general. Wu Xiaoliang was born in the Baoding Military Academy, and trained him to be the best choice for the generals.

"Zhi Gong can follow the example of Wu Weizhong as the regiment commander, appoint him as a brigade commander with a low rank and a high level, and then promote him to major general in a timely manner, so that the resistance may be smaller." Xu Shuzheng suggested.

The resistance to such an exceptional promotion of a cadet is predictable. After some consideration, Duan Qirui decided to expand Wu Xiaoliang's 15th Mixed Regiment into a mixed brigade, and he pushed the signed letter of appointment in front of Xu Shuzheng, and said: "Since Wu Weizhong is given a brigade, he deserves his name, he has the merit of rebelling and recovering Beijing, and he is still a major general, so take it to Feng Huafu to seal it." ”

Feng Guozhang looked at the letter of appointment sent by the 6th Military Department and shook his head again and again, even if he was interested in cultivating cronies, Duan Zhiquan's appearance was too ugly. It is ridiculous that he Wu Weizhong, a cadet who only emerged last month, is now being appointed as a major general. But he won't be as stubborn as Li Yuanhong to push back, he made up his mind that he only needs one word "drag".

Xu Shuzheng had long expected that Feng Guozhang would not nod lightly, the matter of fighting the law let the two gods go into battle in person, Feng Huafu is not Li Songqing can handle it at will, he holds the military power of several provinces, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Hubei are all in his control, and it is better for him, the deputy commander of the 6th Army and the secretary general of the State Council, to provoke him less. There is also that Wu Weizhong, Zhi Gong blamed him for acting recklessly, colding him for a few days, grinding his temperament, and refusing to see him several times, he should have seen him.

Wu Xiaoliang's 15th Mixed Regiment was still stationed at the Temple of Heaven, and the cadets were to return to school to resume classes after the successful rebellion according to the agreement, but the official document of the 6th Army Headquarters was delayed, and whoever dared to say that it would be disbanded, and that they would be rewarded and awarded medals if they won the battle according to the convention. He was anxious to appease the feelings of his classmates every day, where did he know that he had become a bargaining chip for the two great gods of Beiyang.

Wu Xiaoliang has already made up his mind not to return to the military academy, this mixed regiment is his own promotion level, it is impossible to give up, but he will not force other students, once the 6th military department has an official document, he will take a voluntary vote in the regiment, let the students decide for themselves to stay or go. He had a hunch that Duan Qirui would definitely make great use of himself, although in this way he would inevitably be branded as the Anhui system, and it would inevitably be affected if the Anhui system was defeated in the future, but with his own person who predicted half of the future, the Anhui system might not necessarily lose the war.

Fu Zuoyi and Wu Xiaoliang reported the same idea, "Brother Weizhong, the soldiers can go back but you and I can't go back, the fifteenth mixed regiment has become our foundation, and we can't give up the ...... lightly" He was afraid that Wu Xiaoliang would make the decision to disband and return to the school as a whole, but Fang Qidao had a different opinion, "Brother Yisheng's words are wrong, we are studying for revolutionary ideals, and the country is responsible for difficulties. ”

Fang Qidao has ideal romantic feelings in his bones all the time, and in his opinion, at this time, he should "go to the clothes and hide his merit and fame".

Wu Xiaoliang and Fu Zuoyi disagreed, but they didn't argue with it, Wu Jingshan once teased, Fang Qidao's tongue is comparable to the world's fastest knife, so they won't wash their necks and hand them to be slaughtered.

The next day, Wu Xiaoliang went to see Duan Qirui again, but was rejected again, but unlike the previous times, Secretary General Xu Shuzheng received him.

Xu Shuzheng is proud and conceited by nature, and he has never looked at anyone in the Beiyang government except Duan Qirui, but looking at the young officer sitting upright on the sand in front of him, he is very angry with him. Just his earth-shattering events, he can't help but admire.

"Zhi Shuai has decided to expand your 15th mixed regiment into a brigade, you have to be prepared, if you have any difficulties, just bring them up." Xu Shuzheng said with a stern face.

This sentence really surprised Wu Xiaoliang, Duan Qirui wanted to reuse him, this was expected, but with such a big deal, he would never have imagined that he would promote a student who had just left the military academy to a major general and brigade commander.

Xu Shuzheng saw the shock he had foreseen on his face, and continued: "After the expansion into a brigade, your unit will be incorporated into the Beijing-Tianjin Garrison Command and stationed in Nanyuan. ”

Wu Xiaoliang immediately stood up and saluted Xu Shuzheng respectfully, "Thank you Zhishuai and the public for showing love, Xiaoliang will be loyal to the country and will not turn his heels." ”

"Very good, it is the duty of our generation of soldiers to be loyal to the country, Weizhong, don't live up to the high expectations of Zhi Shuai." Xu Shuzheng listened to Wu Xiaoliang only say that he would serve the country, his brows furrowed slightly, he admired the soldier's integrity and did not sell himself for glory, but he still had to beat him, drink water and think of the source, his one qiē today is all thanks to Zhi Shuai.

Xu Shuzheng talked very much today, and in a blink of an eye he talked about the European war, not surprisingly, the government will order to enter the war against Germany and Austria, as a soldier, the regret is that he cannot open up territory for the country, but the country is weak, the provincial overseers are fighting for their own fights, and there is only one way to become a strong country, that is, to unify China. Speaking of excitement, his voice began to hurry.

Wu Xiaoliang was infected by Xu Shuzheng's affection, and blurted out: "Yougong, China will inevitably be unified within forty years, but the land invaded by Mongolia and Tsarist Russia is hopeless. ”

Xu Shuzheng slapped the sand handrail violently, "Why wait for forty years, with our assistance to Zhigong, it can be done in ten years."

Wu Xiaoliang sighed in his conscience, ten years later, Duan Qirui would have already become a duke, and you have also become the soul of Feng Yuxiang's gun, turned into loess, and what are you talking about unifying China
