Chapter 44: The First Engagement
Wang Feng watched Jiang Lingwu leave, and Wang Feng instructed the guards: "Call Director Wang of the Quartermaster Department." ”
He looked at the check in his hand and sighed: "It's a pity, I can only take half of it!" ”
Wang Wu came in after a while, and saluted: "Governor, that money has been transferred to Guangfu Bank, this is the receipt signed by Ji Lao." ”
Wang Feng took it and handed the check in his hand to Wang Wudao: "I'll write a note immediately, you can quickly transfer this item to the Iron Blood Army Bank, and write a check for 1.5 million yuan." I have to spit out half of the money in my hand, I am really unwilling! ”
Wang Wu was originally the son of a businessman in northern Jiangsu, and although he became a soldier, he was the most sleek and gratifying character.
He smiled and said: "Congratulations to the governor, there are advances every day, and our iron-blooded army is quite a small family now!" If you really want to turn your face, you just don't have him, what are you afraid of? ”
Wang Feng smiled: "Your kid's heart is darker than mine!" As for being a man, it's better to leave some leeway! Let's get on errands! ”
Wang Wu smiled and went out, and saw Lu Si preparing to come in with a straight face. Wang Wu smiled at him and said, "Grand Master Lu, is there something to do with the governor?" The governor was in a good mood, and he said that everything was accurate. ”
Lu Si looked at him with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Look at what you look like now?" I don't wear a hat, and the discipline buckle is also opened, you must know that you are a soldier and not a businessman! ”
Lu Si ignored him after speaking, shouted a report by himself, and walked in.
Wang Wu subconsciously straightened his military hat, buckled the wind and discipline button, and smiled: "This lonely cold ghost." ”
Jiang Lingwu returned to his residence, and did not want to go to the Finance Bureau to work, so he met with guests in his house for an afternoon. Speaking of the plan to become the governor, people were naturally overjoyed, the two words of the governor were shouted loudly, and Jiang Lingwu was also reserved to let himself not be too proud.
In the evening, I went to bed early, and tomorrow it was officially Buda, and I haven't rested well these days, but I have to recuperate.
The next morning, just as I was in the middle of my dream, I was woken up violently. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Zhenwu's face covered with sweat, holding two pieces of bulletin paper in his hands, and he was so gasping there that he couldn't speak for a while.
He frowned: "Zhenwu, what's so urgent as if it's a fire?" I'll wait until I'm up and washed. ”
Zhang Zhenwu pointed to the two notices and said loudly: "Still wash!" Things have completely changed! ”
Jiang Lingwu picked up the notice suspiciously and looked at it, and suddenly it was as if he had been struck by lightning!
One of these two notices is a declaration of the Iron Blood's oath, so don't bother with him.
The other said that after Wang Feng led his division to the expedition, the governor of the Hanjiang River was taken over by Sun Wu, and he was still a finance minister!
He was suspicious, but when he looked closely, it was clearly written in black and white, and even the big seal of the military government was bright and dazzling.
He jumped up from the bed: "I'm going to look for that red guy!" Before and after, I raised six million for him, and he actually tricked me! ”
Now that he is using a pistol, Wang Feng has all his thoughts.
Zhang Zhenwu couldn't help shaking his head: "He held a swearing-in meeting at eight o'clock in the morning, and by the way, he was for Brother Sun Wu's Buda, and the matter was a foregone conclusion!" I heard that Sun Wu opened a smoking ban in the Chinese world, and they paid 3.9 million yuan! This is really like the one who does business at the highest price, and Tong Su is not deceived! ”
As soon as Jiang Lingwu saw the clock, he immediately rang the bell like crazy and asked someone to prepare the carriage.
By the time he and Zhang Zhenwu arrived, it was already crowded, and five hundred soldiers of the Iron Blood Army inside and outside the venue were standing in a phalanx, surrounded by representatives of various groups and organizations.
The layout of the main stage is still the same as last time, but the banner has been changed to "Iron Blood Army Pledge Conference!" ”
Wang Feng's speech was coming to an end, and Sun Wu was dressed in a neat dress, standing a little behind his side, with a ribbon on his body and a smug look on his face.
“… This time, our iron-blooded soldiers are determined to have an enemy and no self, and vow to sweep away the stubborn enemy with their own flesh and blood! This commander has already made a suicide note, either he will live until the day when the whole country is recovered, or he will die in front of the enemy's formation, and there is no third way out! ”
The applause and cheers rang out again and swept the entire venue, and Sun Wu stepped forward and said loudly: "On behalf of the millions of citizens of Hanjiang City, the Governor of Bendu presents the flag to Commander Wang!" ”
Two beautiful female students from the Chinese and Western girls' school, dressed in neat uniforms, walked up and handed a large flag to Sun Wu, who solemnly handed the flag to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng's young face was full of serious expressions, and he unfurled the big flag in the air and waved it, and the flag was bright red with four big characters on it: "Iron and Blood Pioneer"
With each wave of the flag, the cheers rose higher and higher.
Jiang Lingwu was dizzy and stood a little uncertain behind him, and whispered to Zhang Zhenwu: "Go back, go back!" I'll go back to him later. ”
At this time, he was really discouraged, and the operation of the Liberation Society in Hanjiang City was played by the thunder and lightning of this royal governor who came out of the sky, and it became a cake!
Five hundred soldiers selected by the Iron Blood Army, singing songs against the guns. The neat parade in the Chinese community created enough momentum for this expedition.
Wang Feng did not even miss this opportunity to make a fortune, and dozens of soldiers were followed by the team, each of whom carried a wooden box, on which was pasted a note with the words "Patriotic Donation of Soldiers", and accepted donations from citizens along the road.
The citizens whose emotions were stirred up to the highest place threw money and jewelry into it, and when the evening was counted, there were actually more than 300,000 yuan of property.
Jiang Lingwu and Zhang Zhenwu rushed to the former governor's mansion of the manufacturing bureau at noon, and he didn't even bother to visit Sun Wu, the new governor.
When he arrived, the manufacturing bureau was already busy, with officers and soldiers coming and going, and from time to time there were cavalry heralds, galloping past them with official orders.
No one had time to take care of them, and when they were welcomed into the room where Wang Feng was in his office, they saw Wang Feng and several regiment commanders under his command, the battalion commander and some staff officers of the staff office, lying on the table and marking the map.
Jiang Lingwu coughed, looking at Wang Feng's eyes were red, Wang Feng raised his head, nodded at the two of them with a calm face, and said to the officers: "You carefully arrange the number of trains, as well as the organization of shipping, when the time comes, I will ask Sun Dudu for things, the first march and battle, these must be safe, and then safe!" ”
As he spoke, he took Erwu to the inner room, and before Jiang Lingwu could speak, Wang Feng smiled.
"Brother Ling Wu, this time I can't help it, and my brother can't help it. Last night, more than 100 members of the Hanjiang Consultative Bureau jointly elected Brother Sun Wu, and dozens of groups in Hanjiang City all elected Brother Sun Wu. Brother Lingwu, know me and forgive me, knowing that my brother is also dedicated to the public, and there is no way to do it, if you want to beat and punish, my brother will admit it. ”
Yesterday, more than half of the members of the Han River Consultative Council were in my mansion! Jiang Lingwu almost roared!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is no way to do this, what else do I have to say?" It's just that the brother paid the 3 million military salary in advance, and asked Commander Wang to return it to the brother, and he was already disheartened after experiencing this incident, so he wanted to clean up the front and tail, and never asked about the world from then on. ”
Wang Feng sighed, got up and went to look for the check. was also there to comfort Jiang Lingwu: "Brother Lingwu, you are still the finance minister of the Hanjiang Military Government!" This is also won by my brother for you, we just need to make a great talent like Brother Wu contribute, why do you just say discouraged words? Brother Ling Wu Brother is not worth it! ”
He took out a check and held it in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Originally, this was all public funds of the Iron and Blood Army, and it was war expenses. It's hard to take it out again, but it's not easy for my brother to think of Brother Lingwu, so I desperately fought to get these out! Alas, no matter what you say now, you are ashamed of your brothers! ”
Jiang Lingwu had a cold face, snatched the check from his hand, and took a closer look, but it was not the original one, but the check for 1.5 million yuan issued by the Iron and Blood Bank.
He waved the piece of paper: "What about the other half?" ”
Wang Feng continued to smile bitterly, with an innocent expression: "Didn't my brother say it?" This is already public money, and the brothers can't just bring it up. But after the brothers' efforts to argue, one and a half million of them were donations from the gentlemen of the Han River, and we could naturally collect them, and the other 1.5 million yuan was advanced by Brother Ling Wu privately, and we couldn't let Brother Ling Wu suffer, so it was brought up before that, which is really rare. ”
Who are you fighting to go? Jiang Lingwu was completely out of shape: "Wang Feng! You don't play these hooligan tricks for me! When I ran the rivers and lakes, you didn't know where it was? You can hand it all over today, otherwise, I'm not done with you! ”
His voice was high and strong, his head was unkempt, and his eyes were red, as if he wanted to pounce on Wang Feng.
Wang Feng just smiled indifferently, and as soon as the curtain at the door was lifted, Lu Si walked in with a cold face and three or four guards, all with the heads of the machine wide open.
Jiang Lingwu laughed sharply: "You shoot!" Shoot! Rush here to fight! ”
Zhang Zhenwu hurriedly grabbed Jiang Lingwu, who was a little dazed, and dragged him out, while talking to Wang Feng in a deep voice.
"Commander Wang, don't be too much, everyone is a comrade, save some face for each other, and we won't be embarrassed if we meet again in the future!"
Wang Feng smiled slightly: "What is my friendship with Brother Ling Wu?" Brother Zhenwu can rest assured! Soon, the brothers are going to the front line to work hard, what else can't be seen, everything is focused on the great cause of recovery. ”
Zhang Zhenwu sighed and dragged Jiang Lingwu, who was still scolding, out.
Wang Feng hugged his arms and watched them leave, just shook his head, and he asked the expressionless Lu Si: "Fourth, what do you think of me?" ”
Lu Siyi stood upright: "Report to the commander, you are very shameless!" ”
Wang Feng squinted his eyes, and his expression was very calm: "Shameless is shameless, it's better than no money............"
Jiang Lingwu was swept into history in this way, and in the original time and space, he had made a great contribution to the recovery, and successively held important positions in the provisional government of the Han River. But in this parallel world, he has since disappeared, and there is no sign of any further activity.
