On the eve of the recovery of Hanjiang City, in a tavern next to the manufacturing bureau where Wang Feng and the others had been, Wu Wencai, Wang Yangming, Chen Jianghe, Zhang San and Wang Wu all changed into civilian clothes, and finally stole a long time to survive, gather here, and have dinner together.

Chen Jianghe looked at the civilian clothes on his body dissatisfied: "Why are we, the governor, not allowed to wear military uniforms to these occasions?" It's not majestic enough to wear casual clothes! ”

Zhang San sneered: "You still want to deceive the little girl? The two sisters of the Yin family are now training there with you every day, and the governor has lost his temper over this matter, and you kid can't change his. ”

Chen Jianghe had a headache when he thought of the Yin sisters, raised his wine glass and said loudly: "You know a fart!" Come and drink and drink! Our brothers have been busy since their recovery, and it's rare to get together like this, so let's have a drink today! ”

Even Wu Wencai, who has always been relatively silent, raised his glass in agreement: "No disease is right, we will have a big move in the future, there are not many days to drink so steadily, everyone should have fun today." ”

Several people came up and said in a chaotic manner: "Chief of Staff, Brother Niansun, we all know that we will go to Jinling sooner or later, when will we leave?" Have they all been decided? ”

Wu Wencai looked at them: "This is a military secret, can you keep it a secret?" ”

Several people patted their chests.

Wu Wenwan smiled and said, "I can too!" So saying, he drank the wine down.

Now these young officers stopped doing it, and began to pour their eldest brother Wu Wencai's wine in a hurry.

These young people, who have been nervous for more than ten days, have put aside all worries and worries about the future, and have forgotten the strange light of this changing era outside their bodies.

It's just such a simple and enthusiastic start to drink.

It's good to be young! It's good to have hope! It's also good to be in this big time.

Wu Wencai drank a little more, his eyes were a little moist, and when he went out, he took his guards and wanted to go back to the headquarters of the Second Regiment in Zhabei.

Wang Yangming followed: "Brother Niansun, let's go for a walk, I have something to say to you." ”

Wu Wencai glanced at Wang Yangming and smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

Two military officers, who are now in Hangang City and have become the idols of thousands of young people, slowly walked forward along the dim lights on the side of the road.

The guards followed him from a distance, and the footsteps of two people echoed in the streets of Hangang City at midnight, and the river breeze blew coolly.

Wu Wencai is an extremely calm young man, and he also has talent for staff work, while Wang Yangming is like a fire, which can burn all the obstacles in front of him, and these two people are still very young at this time.

Wang Yangming said suddenly: "Have you noticed?" The Governor actually has no connection with the Hui Party in Hangang City? The party figures here are really strange to him. ”

Wu Wencai let out a long breath and stopped: "What do you think?" ”

Wang Yangming shook his head: "I don't have any ideas, now he is also doing things for the cause of recovery, the governor is careful and meticulous, and he wants to be in front of others in everything, I admire it very much!" Maybe it's just greedy for money... But the money was all in the open, and it didn't go into his own pocket. I don't mean anything else to say this, and I'm going to hit Jinling soon, and I'm very happy. ”

Wu Wencai was silent: "What if I think differently from you in the future?" What will happen to you? ”

Wang Yangming smiled: "I may be a complete idealist, if the governor does something that goes against the cause of recovery, I will naturally leave." ”

Wu Wencai patted him on the shoulder: "These words are said until I am here, don't talk nonsense anymore, after a long time, your thoughts may also change." It is not easy for us soldiers to encounter such a time, and it is not easy to meet a good boss, everything is just the beginning, and no one can say for sure what will change in the future. But now there is only one way, do our duty and do a good job for the governor and lead the troops. ”

Wang Yangming nodded: "Naturally, you don't need to say this." ”

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time, and Wang Yangming suddenly laughed: "Niansun, you have a straight face all day long, and you are a little similar to Lu Si's lonely ghost." Chen Jianghe has a pair of Yin family sisters there, do you have a fancy for it? It's good to change your boring temperament. ”

Wu Wencai laughed silently: "I already have a fiancée in my hometown, so you don't have to worry about this." Besides, the Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home. When we are good men, how can we be entangled in the personal affairs of this child? If you are free, you also have to say that you are not sick. ”

He beckoned the guards to lead the horse over, turned over and got on the horse, because he was wearing civilian clothes, he only arched his hand towards He Sui: "Brother Zhuoran, work hard!" Let's see who climbs to the top of Jinling City first. So saying, he beat his horse and galloped away.

Wang Yangming watched him go away, and felt that the heat in his chest was burning more and more, turned over the horse led by the guards, and five or six people ran out together.

"Then I was the first to rush to the head of Jinling City!"

For the next ten days, the training of the Iron Blood Army can be described as crazy, according to the words of the veterans of the 9th Brigade, they have been in the camp for two or three years, and they have never fired so many bullets.

The Predators, by the standards of the time, were armed to the teeth. Each infantry battalion of the 1st and 2nd regiments had six Makqin machine guns, and the Hanyang-made fast rifles of the infantry were well stocked. The officers above the platoon commander were all self-made pistols made in Germany with ten consecutive shots.

In addition to three complete infantry battalions, the regiment also has a teaching artillery company equipped with four French 75-mm mountain guns, a teaching machine gun company with 12 Maxim machine guns, and 80 officers and men armed with cavalry pistols.

The artillery battalion of the Iron-blooded Army directly under it has 12 mountain guns of the latest 75 mm caliber and complete pack saddles.

The machine gun battalion directly under the Iron Blood Army has twenty-four Makqin machine guns.

The cavalry battalion of the Iron Blood Army directly under it had two hundred and twenty cavalry.

The Heavy Engineer Battalion of the Iron-Blooded Army directly under it had 600 officers and men, 80 carts and a number of pack horses.

6 The new and old soldiers and the officers who served in the service were replenished, and the entire unit was gradually sharpened into a whole in the frenzied training.

Wang Feng also often gave drills in person, according to his words, he only needs an army that is good at deploying firepower, daring to charge, and seeing red with white blades.

Seeing the Governor crawling in the dirt with them, several regiments secretly competed.

The originally complicated situation in Hangang City has also become quiet for a while because the two families are concentrating on fundraising.

Except for a few state representatives, it is almost like a peaceful city.

Every day, Jiang Lingwu didn't know how many representatives of the gentry and businessmen he wanted to meet, how many benefits he promised to go out, he said good things, patted his chest, arranged flowers and wine, and the titles of members of the Hanjiang City Advisory Bureau were promised more than 200. Every day, I have to take the time to repay the agreed conditions with the consuls of various countries, repeating them over and over again in exchange for more or less checks.

But Sun Wu is a character full of rivers and lakes, coming and going, and even the tobacco merchants in the south and north of the river are constantly coming to the door. Everyone is an uncle who separates the incense hall, divides the route of the tobacco shop, and fights for the territory of the wharf, which makes a miasma. These characters are not writing checks, sacks of the ocean, banknotes, and yellow, white, and everyone talks about the conditions.

Both of them are in surprisingly good spirits, Jiang Lingwu has been sleepless all day and all night, and the affairs of the Hanjiang Military Government have been lost to Zhang Zhenwu, and he has been busy to death. And Sun Wu relied on swallowing smoke bubbles to improve his spirit, and quarreled with those gangsters every day.

The time is getting closer and closer to the day of the unveiling of the cup, only Wang Feng is still like a nobody, meeting guests all day long, meeting representatives from all sides, or going to train troops.

Han Jiang's voice of dissatisfaction with this governor gradually appeared. In addition to thinking that he wants a lot of money, he still stays in this place and doesn't leave, what is like a hero who is determined to recover?

The news that Jiang Lingwu and Sun Wujiao competed for the future governor of the Han River has also spread. Some people who have the ability and ideas are seeing where to bet on the bottom, and for a while, Wang Feng's Governor's Mansion turned out to be deserted.

Jiang Lingwu stepped down from the carriage, and saw Wang Feng standing at the door in a military uniform to greet him, he was holding a leather bag with a check for three million yuan in his hand, and today he is finally relieved.

Wang Feng naturally didn't hear his belly, but just looked at the leather bag in his arms with bright eyes. It's all money! How much can three million do? With a reserve of three million, he can have six million banknotes, and a complete division only uses 142,000 a month... I can't count it.

Jiang Lingwu and Wang Feng walked in, Jiang Lingwu looked at Wang Feng, who almost wanted to grab the leather bag, sighed and said: "Dudu, my brother has almost scraped the land of the Han River clean this time for the cause of recovery, and the reputation he carries is too bad, these three million are not easy to come by, one and a half million is a donation from all parties, and the brother himself pulled a loophole and raised another 1.5 million!" Alas, the brothers can be regarded as breaking the family for the country. ”

Wang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Lingwu's hard work, brothers know it!" In order to restore the great cause, the brother doesn't say any polite words, and the position of the governor of the Hanjiang River is still the most suitable for Brother Wu. This 1.5 million Pingshu brothers' advances will naturally be returned by the Hanjiang Public Treasury in the future! This position of the governor of the Han River, tomorrow the brother will replace Brother Buda! If you can't trust your brother, then your brother will immediately make a notice! ”

Jiang Lingwu shook his head, he also knew that Sun Wu had been desperately raising money recently, but after inquiring, it seemed that he had only borrowed more than one million from a few public offices.

But he has been in a lot of dealings with people in the rivers and lakes recently, and he is worried that after he takes over as the governor, he will make trouble, and this guy is sometimes a bachelor.

He hesitated and said, "The governor is here, can you leave some soldiers for my brother?" The ground of Hangang City is too large, and it is a miscellaneous place of Chinese and foreign, and the slightest incident will provoke negotiations. The countries are preparing to recognize us as a warring group in the near future, and the security of the rear of this Han River City is really something that cannot be ignored. ”

Wang Feng clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Ling Wu and I are worried about going together!" Brother Vain has the city's police force and two other patrol police detachments. The brother immediately reorganized them into the third regiment to garrison the manufacturing bureau, and also used it to maintain law and order, although Brother Wu used it well, the brother's soldiers, that is, Brother Ling's soldiers! ”

Jiang Lingwu was secretly happy in his heart, this third regiment also had 15,600 people, all of them were good guns, and they were rectified by Wang Feng very well. Now that they are lost in Hanjiang City, most of them are Hanjiang locals, and the emperor is far away, so when the time comes, won't it be his basic force? In this way, the three million for a governor and a complete regiment is not too wronged.

Thinking about it, he simply handed over the leather bag to Wang Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't want to be the governor of Hanjiang, it's just that the gentry and merchants of Hanjiang City want to take over this responsibility!" No way, someone has to do this kind of thing, and my brother doesn't have to say it anymore......"

Wang Feng's mind was all on the check at this time, how could he still have the energy to listen to him say beautiful things there, but he just said a few perfunctory sentences casually.

Jiang Lingwu couldn't help but curse a few more words of wealth in his heart, and felt that the big thing had been decided and quit. He is not afraid that Wang Feng's words will not count, the people's hearts of Hanjiang City are on his side, and the businessmen and gentry of Hanjiang City are optimistic about his succession. Now that this wealthy governor has also benefited, what reason is there not to give him this governor!
