Lin Du was puzzled: "Overseer, the situation in this province is complicated, there are concessions of various countries, and it is not completely under the control of the northern government, if you choose to garrison here, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." ”

The corners of Fu Xianzhi's mouth hooked up a smile, and he drew a circle on the map with his finger, "Qiu Hong, what about the complicated situation?" Isn't it all our own land? You ordered to go down and garrison the three provinces, and telegraphed to the cabinet that we were tired of troops and horses and needed to be repaired. ”

"Yes, Overseer." Lin Du couldn't figure out the situation now, but she knew one thing very well, in the army, she needed to obey orders unconditionally, no matter what Fu Xianzhi wanted to do, if she insisted on going against the grain, it was estimated that the end would not be too good.

However, she looked at the three provinces circled by Fu Xianzhi and secretly wondered if Fu Xianzhi wanted to divide the place. He has plenty of troops in his hands, and in the troubled times, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and with Fu Xianzhi's current ability, if he wants to be an independent warlord, he can also be independent.

No matter what Lin Du thought, he still conveyed Fu Xianzhi's order.

Fu Xianzhi is almost forty years old, the original owner is just thirty, in the memory of the original owner, he has always regarded Fu Xianzhi as a brother, and Fu Xianzhi is also very capable, he admires Fu Xianzhi very much.

Guan Qiuhong is a top student who has returned from studying in a foreign military academy, and Fu Xianzhi admires some of his ideas very much and has always promoted him. Fu Xianzhi is to Guan Qiuhong, and he has the grace of knowing it.

It was another three-day march, and now Fu Xianzhi's soldiers had been stationed in those three provinces.

Finally, Lin Dui and the others were not far from the city chosen by Fu Xianzhi, and Lin Dui sent someone to inform Sun Chengyu, a high-ranking official of the province, that the troops would enter the city tomorrow.

At night, the moon was as cold as water, and Lin Dusk looked at the moon outside the military tent, with a lot of thoughts.

When she was taking a casual walk, she ran into Fu Xianzhi.

It's not surprising that the tents of two people are so close to each other, and it's normal to meet.

Lin Du stood still and saluted.

"Qiu Hong? Don't you have a break? Fu Xianzhi walked very slowly, and it looked like he was also walking.

Half a step behind him, she replied, "Yes, Overseer, I can't sleep." ”

"What? Worried about tomorrow? I don't know why I have to go to that complicated city, do I? Fu Xianzhi guessed Lin Dui's thoughts.

Lin Du didn't hide it, and nodded, "Overseer, I'm worried about insecurity. And the troops of the Northern Expedition are about to reach the junction. ”

Fu Xianzhi heard Lin Dui's voice: "Do you think we should go all out to fight?" ”

Lin Du didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Fu Xianzhi stopped, turned around and looked at Lin Du, "Qiu Hong, the current situation is very complicated, you still haven't understood, tomorrow we will enter the city, you can take a good look." ”

Lin Du responded: "Yes." ”

Under the moonlight, Fu Xianzhi's face was not as resolute as in the daytime, and it looked like it was coated with a layer of soft light.

Lin Dui, the adjutant, is actually quite busy every day, her job is Fu Xianzhi's cronies, secretary, and personal assistant, in charge of the army's maintenance, honor guards, confidential communications, logistics and finance, etc., and is also responsible for Fu Xianzhi's personal life. The daily work is trivial and requires a very delicate mind.

All kinds of matters concerning the troops' entry into the city required her to communicate with Sun Chengyu and Sun Gaoguan by telegram.

Early the next morning, while the army was on the march, Lin Du began to report to work.

She handed Fu Xianzhi a document, and then dictated the general content: "Overseer, Senior Officer Sun and I have basically docked, the camp where the troops are stationed after we entered the city has been communicated, and the wounded have been arranged, but because of the shortage of beds in the government-managed hospital, some of the wounded have been arranged in the church hospital." The Cabinet has already allocated food for our soldiers to recuperate, which will be delivered in the near future, but the Cabinet asks when we will be ready to go to war with the Southern Government. ”

"Very well, the wounded must be settled, inside." Fu Xianzhi took a closer look at the placement table for the wounded.

He looked at the document handed to him by Lin Dui very carefully, and didn't seem to notice Lin Dui's last question.

Lin Du had no choice but to repeat: "Overseer, the cabinet is asking when we are going to fight the troops of the Southern Government's Northern Expedition?" ”

Fu Xianzhi raised his eyes and looked out the window: "When the troops are rested, they will naturally go to war." Tell the cabinet that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools and rest before you can fight, otherwise you will lose the battle. ”

Of course, Lin Du couldn't reply to the cabinet like this, and she had to decide what to say. See, that's the bad luck of being a secretary for these big guys.

She had to nod yes, and then reported: "We expect to be able to enter the city before lunchtime, and after entering the city, we will first go to the temporary Overseer's Mansion to settle down, the Temporary Overseer's Mansion was once the provincial governor's palace of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been cleaned out." ”

"Provincial Governor's Palace?" Fu Xianzhi asked: "Where does Senior Officer Sun live?" ”

It stands to reason that the provincial governor's palace should be occupied by the local magistrate.

"Senior official Sun lives in the mansion of the former political envoy." Lin Du had already inquired, this is the job of a secretary, you have to understand all kinds of trivial matters, otherwise it will be a mistake if the boss can't answer the question.

She was a little complacent, she was still quick to get started with the job, and then she continued: "By the way, Senior Officer Sun also said that he arranged a welcome ball tonight, please invite the Overseer and the officers to enjoy it, do you think I want to refuse him for some reason?" ”

In Lin Dui's memory, Fu Xianzhi was not a person who liked to participate in these boring balls, he was strict in governing the army, and he was even more opposed to his subordinate officers participating in these balls, believing that the gentleness of the sound of the voice was detrimental to morale.

But this time, Fu Xianzhi actually agreed: "There is no need to refuse, I should attend the dance party and get to know these local officials." Let our officers also participate and see the thousands of winds and moons in this ten-mile foreign field. ”

Although she was surprised, Lin Du couldn't show it, she nodded calmly and wrote it down in her notebook, "Understood, I will tell Senior Officer Sun." ”

Fu Xianzhi also finished reading the document handed to him by Lin Dui, put it together and put it on his side, and then chatted with Lin Dui casually: "Qiu Hong, I remember that you danced very well, and you have to perform well at tonight's dance." Did you learn to dance while studying abroad? ”

Although Lin Duan didn't know why Fu Xianzhi suddenly said this, he still answered truthfully: "Yes." At that time, the school had regular ballroom balls. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Fu Xianzhi teased Lin Dui: "Then if you behave well, maybe you can have an affair today." I heard that the girls in these ten miles of foreign fields are very beautiful. ”

How do you take this? I'm a girl. Alas, every time you dress as a man, you have this problem.
