Chapter 72: The Prime Minister Renowns a House
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zongchang got up and said to Wu Xiaoliang: "Brother Wu, official business is important, and my brother won't keep you." ”
Wu Xiaoliang said goodbye to Zhang Zongchang, led his troops to board a special train to return north, and galloped on the Jinghan Line to arrive in for a day and night. When it came to Wanping, Wu Xiaoliang ordered all the battalions directly under him to get off the bus and drive back to Beijing on foot. The main reason he did this was that he didn't want the large amount of gold he was carrying to be welcomed into the public.
The Fourth Mixed Brigade set up camp in Nanyuan, and the battalion directly under it returned to the camp directly, while Wu Xiaoliang led the officers to Beijing City to report on their work.
A greeting person at Beijing's Zhengyang East Railway Station waited for several hours to be left in the cold wind before receiving a telegram that Wu had gotten off the train in Wanping and rushed to the Nanyuan camp. Xu Shuzheng's hands and feet were cold in the early freeze, this time he personally came to pick up the station to show his support for his henchmen, which Cheng wanted to be released and waited for a while. angrily scolded on the spot:
"This Wu Weizhong has always loved moths."
Others also echoed, "This is obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of the 6th Army Headquarters......
"When a young man is ambitious, he will inevitably be proud of his achievements......"
The cool words of the people were extremely enthusiastic, as if they had seen a big joke and were excited. The news of Wu Xiaoliang's return to Beijing in a bad mood spread.
Wu Xiaoliang rushed to Beijing City non-stop, and went directly to see Xu Shuzheng, he was not afraid that others would misunderstand him and resent, but he was very concerned about the idea of this little Xu Vice Chief. It is said that it is stubborn and self-serving, and it is difficult to tolerate others. Although he had several contacts, he felt that this evaluation was exaggerated, but he couldn't believe it.
Xu Shuzheng's private residence, Wu Xiaoliang's face was full of dust, and his body was full of sour smell, Xu Shuzheng, who was excited, frowned, and the unhappiness brought by Zhengyangmen East Station disappeared in an instant.
"Another duke, student Wu Xiaoliang returned to Beijing ahead of schedule to report on his work."
"Hmph, it's not my turn to report on work, you settle down first, and go to see Zhigong tomorrow." Xu Shuzheng had a straight face, his voice was a little cold, and he had the heart to test whether this young man was really dissatisfied.
"Yes!" Wu Xiaoliang replied respectfully.
"Hunan war, you fought well." Xu Shuzheng was very satisfied with Wu Xiaoliang's behavior, changed the topic, and got ready to go.
"If it weren't for the fact that Zhigong needed me here, I really wanted to lead the army over like you young people and kill happily."
Wu Xiaoliang knew that the little Xu Cichang in front of him was very promising to make contributions in his heart, not only limited to Duan Qirui's secretary and think tank.
"It's all the work of Zhi Shuai and Yougong's strategy, and filial piety is just driven by the former enemy." He said it extremely modestly, and he never wanted to leave the impression of pride in the legendary little Xu Vice-Chief.
Another purpose of Wu Xiaoliang's visit is to take up a new post in the Northwest Frontier Preparatory Office. He paused for a moment and then asked, "Deputy Chief, when will the students of the Northwest Frontier Preparatory Office go to work?" ”
"Oh?" Xu Shuzheng was thinking about how to soothe himself, a descendant general, and when he asked about the Northwest Frontier Preparatory Office, he was a little unclear, and after a little thought, he understood that the Northwest Frontier Preparatory Office was a good place to make meritorious contributions. The day before yesterday, he arranged for the sons of several sub-chiefs to go in, and he never wanted to subordinate these gentlemen, but the relationship within the palace was intertwined, and if he was not careful, he would be an enemy under the tree, and he did not want to make trouble, so he was not afraid to stuff them in.
Xu Shuzheng has always been suffering from the fact that he follows Duan Qirui all day long, and no one is in charge of the executive affairs of the border office for him, so it is also expedient to let Wu Xiaoliang go to the border office, in case he has resentment. Now it seems that this son is not only not dissatisfied, but also took the initiative to mention this matter, he should be extremely satisfied with this arrangement, and his heart suddenly put down.
"Tell me about what you think about the margins." Xu Shuzheng said half discussion and half school examination.
These thoughts had already been thought of dozens or hundreds of times in Wu Xiaoliang's mind, and he said without hesitation: "The purpose of preparing for the border is to participate in the war, and now that the civil strife in Tsarist Russia has long taken care of itself in the east, it is a great opportunity for us to regain the lost territory." Speaking of excitement, he spoke in a hurry, and stood up.
"Filial piety is willing to be a pawn of another stallion, for the country, for the nation, and to snow the shame of China for a hundred years."
Xu Shuzheng looked at Wu Xiaoliang, who was a hot-blooded young man, and was very satisfied, his morale was available, he nodded, and said with a smile:
"Weizhong, don't get excited, sit down, sit down and talk." He watched Wu Xiaoliang sit down again, and then continued: "The border area is not just about fighting, from military supply to army training, everything cannot be ignored. ”
Xu Shuzheng paused here when he spoke, looked into Wu Xiaoliang's eyes and asked, "Are you ready to bear this thousand catties of burden?" ”
How could Wu Xiaoliang not understand the meaning of Xu Shuzheng's question, Teng stood up and promised: "Students have often heard people say that China is poor and weak since enlightenment, and now they can fight for the rise of the country and the nation, and Xiaoliang will not hesitate to die." These are the words of his two lives.
The next day, Wu Xiaoliang came to the State Council early to prepare to meet Duan Qirui. Unexpectedly, a secretary told him that Premier Duan moved today and asked for a day off.
Wu Xiaoliang was surprised: "Moving? ”
"It's not, a newly rented house in Higashishijo Hutong."
"Renting?" In Wu Xiaoliang's impression, how could those rich people in Beiyang not have their own real estate in Beijing.
The secretary was obviously a chatterbox, and he came up to lower his voice and spoke with a Beijing flavor: "Do you know why this prime minister moved?" ”
"Why?" Wu Xiaohao's heart suddenly rose.
"I don't know, someone took the deed and said that the house where the prime minister's family lived was his."
"Oh? And such things? Wu Xiaoliang was surprised.
"There is a lot of article in this, when Premier Duan followed President Yuan, he had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he held a lot of power but he didn't even buy a private property, which is called a clean and honest person. Guess what happened? "The secretary said halfway through the sale.
Wu Xiaoliang listened and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Later, Premier Duan married President Yuan's adopted daughter, and President Yuan couldn't look down on it, so he said: Duan Zhiquan, you are also a general of a country, and you don't even have a house, it's too unreasonable, you mean yourself to my old Yuan, I don't care, I wronged my daughter, so let's give my daughter a yard, you can live if you love it, and if you don't love it, you can drink the northwest wind outside." The secretary has a mouthful of Beijing flavor, but he wants to learn Yuan Shikai's Henan accent, which is nonsense, and it sounds extremely funny.
"Premier Duan can be regarded as having real estate, but in a blink of an eye, it is a bad thing!" The secretary said this, looked at Wu Xiaoliang, smiled and waited for him to ask.
Wu Xiaoliang looked funny: "Brother, don't sell Guanzi, this is to kill me in a hurry." ”
