Chapter Twenty-Eight: See Futai (I)

Anqing City is not peaceful, and Feng Xu has been exhausted since taking office. On the one hand, it is necessary to appease the localities, and on the other hand, it is necessary to organize and train the new army, and it is true that Anqing is the provincial capital, but the place is barren and the provincial financial capacity is limited. In July, Enming was assassinated, and Feng Xu was able to take over the governor.

Finally, the place basically calmed down, and Feng Xu was able to take a break at home in the afternoon. Feng Xu writes a good calligraphy, and he practices calligraphy on weekdays, and he doesn't have many other hobbies.

Menzi came in with a letter in his hand, carrying a reward of ten oceans in his arms, and the road was not brisk. When he was at the door, the doorman called his staff member Master Li to stop him, and when he asked what was going on, he took the letter and the letter and came into the study. Chapter 28 of Volume 1 (Part I)

"Dong Weng, a young man named Fang Jianxiong came from outside the yamen, with two foreigners to follow, and asked the door to deliver a letter." Master Li came in to speak, he was Feng Xu's most trusted aide.

"Mu Yan, how about looking at this word?" Feng Xu was very satisfied with the written words, and shook his head and didn't pay much attention to it. waited until he reacted before he asked urgently: "Foreigners? Hearing the foreigner, Feng Xu's face was shocked.

"Well, Dong Weng will see if you look at it." The letter and the letter were handed over, and Feng Xu quickly read the letter first, the name was very unfamiliar. Looking at the letter again, he smiled and said: "The letter said that Sun Baoqi accepted students in Germany, saying that he had a certain influence in the German ** world. I don't think this is an exaggeration, since he is a friend of the old man, I might as well invite him in. ”

Feng Xu holds his own identity, so naturally he will not go out to greet him like Zhu Xiufeng, he is equivalent to the secretary of the provincial party committee, and if he can take the time to meet him, it will be very face-saving for Sun Baoqi, as for whether he needs this person or not, he will have to see him. But then again, this mixed association of the Anhui New Army is indeed short of effective manpower.

Click! The sound of neat footsteps came into his ears, Feng Xu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and subconsciously walked to the door to take a look. But see the twenty-eighth chapter of the first song of the first volume and see the three heroic soldiers of Futai (above), one in front and two behind, marching in unison, as if something was controlling them to be consistent. Looking at the outfits of these three people, it is not the outfit of the current new army, but this military uniform is obvious, I think it is the German army.

The military uniform was straight, the leather shoes were shiny, and a strong military heroic spirit rushed towards him. Especially the indomitable momentum of these three people when they walked, looking at only three people, the momentum was amazing.

Although Feng Xu doesn't understand the military, his eyesight is not bad. Forget about the two foreigners, the young man in front of him didn't have braids, and the particularly confident expression on his face was really rare. "Talent!" Feng Xu secretly praised in his heart!

"Stand! Salute! Fang Jianxiong was in front, snapping a salute, and the two foreign devils raised their hands almost at the same time.

Feng Xu was directly stunned, those people in the Anhui New Army, when they saw Lord Futai, which one didn't bend over? This young man, that waist pole is quite straight!

"Fang Jianxiong, I've seen Lord Futai!"

Tut-tut, I was secretly surprised in my heart, after Feng Xu became the governor, he attached great importance to the new army, and he went around the army a lot. Originally, I thought that the Anhui New Army was worse than the New Army of Beiyang and Wuchang, but now when I look at the momentum of these three people, those officers of the Anhui New Army are sparse! This is what the world's first-class powerhouse looks like, right?

"Who are these two?" Feng Xu looked at the two foreign devils, and stood there like a wooden stake, with his hands crossed behind his back, as if the other party Jianxiong was very respectful, and couldn't help but ask.

"Report to Lord Futai, these two are subordinates who interned in the German army, retired German ** officers, follow and take a look."

Feng Xu had been paying attention to Fang Jianxiong's expression, and found that it didn't look like he was lying, so he smiled and said, "Let them get out, don't scare the maid who comes to the backyard with tea." "Actually, this is the official room, and the maids in the back house will not come here unless they have something important.

"Jenson, you wait at the gate of the courtyard!" Fang Jianxiong ordered casually, just like in the army.

"Yes! Sir! "The Germans are not ordinary dead, and they can't change their mouths until now. Although Feng Xu didn't understand what he was saying, he looked at the two of them standing upright, and then turned around neatly and walked out side by side. There was a sudden shock in his heart, it seemed that these two people were indeed the subordinates of this young man. There are some things that can't deceive people.

"Brother Mu Han is good in Germany?" Feng Xu turned around and entered the door, and after Fang Jianxiong followed, he didn't give up his seat, and sat down to talk.

Fang Jianxiong habitually stood upright, straightened his chest and said: "The teacher is very good in Germany. ”

"Hmm, Fuguo, Brother Mu Han strongly recommends you to come to the Anqing New Army in my heart, but there is no place in the Anqing New Army for the time being, as long as there are still a few teachers in the army primary school, I don't know if you are willing to give in?" Feng Xu spoke unhurriedly, Fang Jianxiong was upright again, and replied loudly: "Lord Hui, there is filial piety below, and it is the teacher's intention to come to Anqing, so I can't help but come." After meeting Lord Futai, he had to go home to keep filial piety for 7749 days before he could take office. ”

Not? Feng Xu heard something meaningful, this young man did not refuse, filial piety is a factor, other factors, I'm afraid it's not Sun Baoqi who has prepared a lot of hands, right? Sun Baoqi and Yuan Xiangcheng, that is the exchange of brothers. Fang Jianxiong can come to Anqing first, it is estimated that it has something to do with the situation at home? Thinking of this, I noticed that Fang Jianxiong's cuffs were embroidered with a black cloth. It seems that this is true.

"Sit down, Fuguo!" Feng Xu opened his mouth to give up his seat, and the temptation just now was really painstaking.

"Brother Mu Han said in the letter, you studied in Germany for six years, and then interned in the elite Seventh Army in the German army for half a year?"

Fang Jianxiong was about to sit down, and as soon as he heard him speak, he immediately stood up and said: "Back to my lord, the internship period is only three months, I started from the army middle school in Germany, and later entered the Munich non-commissioned officer school. ”

It was the first time Feng Xu had seen Fang Jianxiong's style, he looked very delicate, but his every move was so energetic, he was really a young man in the army. I couldn't help but like this young man in my heart, so I smiled and said: "Sit down and talk, you don't have to stand up every time you speak, and you don't feel tired and panicked." Come on, tea! ”

The staff member Master Li stepped into the door, walked to Feng Xu's side unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Dong Weng, you have a tiger general!" "Master Li said this for a reason, he followed the two German devils out of the yard, but the two devils walked to the gate of the courtyard, snapped and turned around, stood with their backs to the courtyard door, motionless, no matter who came, they didn't see it. You know, these two devils are listening to the greeting of the surnamed Fang. How much ability can you train a foreign devil to this level?

Feng Xu has absolute trust in Master Li, and when he says this, he likes it even more.

"Lord Futai, I don't know anything about Xia Shicai, I want to ask for advice or two." Fang Jianxiong suddenly spoke, Feng Xu was puzzled when he heard it: "Oh, why don't you understand?" ”

"That's right, I ...... on the way here. For some reason, someone shouted that the revolutionary party was coming, and the whole street exploded. The revolutionary party is nothing but a rabble, so why should it be feared? Therefore, in the lower body is incomprehensible. Fang Jianxiong said what happened on the road, and he was very disdainful when he mentioned the revolutionary party.

Feng Xu was also taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing along the way. There is no need for Fang Jianxiong to lie about this, otherwise it is true.

"I don't know that in July this year, when you were still in Germany, Governor Enming was killed by the revolutionary party's rebellion, and this official is the one who came to take over. Unexpectedly, Brother Mu Han was in Germany, and his contacts with China were close and well-informed. Feng Xu's words were inspired by feelings. Today's Anqing City is not peaceful.

Fang Jianxiong's history is not good, so he naturally doesn't know about Xu Xilin's uprising, let alone Xiong Chengji's New Army uprising next year. Fang Jianxiong didn't plan to stay in Anqing, he came here to meet Feng Xu, begging to stay in Wuhu, and at the worst to take the commander of the patrol battalion.

"It turned out to be a cup bow snake shadow, and I heard about the chaos in Germany, but I didn't expect Anqing to be immune."

As he was talking, Menzi came again: "Master Fang, a descendant came to the door, saying that it was your eldest brother who brought you luggage." Fang Jianxiong smiled: "Not bad! It was already three o'clock when I got off the boat, and I was afraid that I would delay seeing the adults, so I let the eldest brother take the luggage behind. The teacher also asked me to bring some gifts to Master Futai, and I will come as soon as I go. ”

Fang Jianxiong got up and went out, and Master Li immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, this son's eyes are pure, he doesn't look like a treacherous person. ”

Feng Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mu Yan, I'm afraid I can't keep him, people have their own places to go, and I came here just to give gifts on behalf of the teacher." Sun Baoqi's days in Germany are not long, and it is not difficult to come back and release a governor, and when the time comes, a letter, this person will have to go to the teacher. ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Jianxiong's footsteps had already come, and he came in with a pair of scrolls and a square box in his hand.

This is a calligraphy and painting that the teacher collected in Germany, saying that it is the authentic work of Dong Qichang. In the next martial arts, I don't know the way of elegance, so I had to pick a piece of the latest Swiss gold watch to honor Lord Futai. ”

What kind of Swiss gold watch, how can it be compared with Dong Qichang's genuine handiwork in Feng Xu's eyes, without saying a word, he took the scroll, unfolded it on the table and looked at it carefully. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it is a genuine work, and there is also the seal of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi on it." I am afraid that Gengzi Nian's fist flowed out of the palace and was taken to Germany by foreigners. ”

This calligraphy and painting was indeed a gift from Sun Baoqi and asked him to bring to Feng Xu. Sun Baoqi also knew that Feng Xu liked this, so he liked it.

Seeing this, Fang Jianxiong smiled and saluted: "The gift has been delivered, and I have said goodbye." ”

Feng Xu was shocked in his heart, and instinctively raised his hand and said, "Wait, hasn't Fuguo read the letter written by Mr. Mu Han?" ”

Fang Jianxiong said: "I haven't read it, how can the teacher's letter be read casually?" I have two more letters, one for Lord Yuan Shikai and the other for Lord Zhang Renjun. However, there are no gifts, so I plan to have someone send them on my behalf, and I will leave them in front of my mother to fulfill my filial piety. ”！！！
