Zhang Jizhi received a telegram at night, and the old man had gone to bed.

These days, he was dealing with people in Jinling City until very late, and the position of the Jiangnan constitutionalists in the Senate, in the name of Wang Feng, had been appointed as the chief of industry and commerce of the provisional government, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

It's rare that I didn't see a guest today, so I went to bed early to recuperate.

As soon as he received Wu Wencai's telegram, he almost immediately jumped out of bed, his hands trembling.

"Wang Feng is seriously injured? How could such a thing happen? ”

Wang Feng and his cooperation are really beneficial to Zhang Jizhi.

These 20,000 troops, faintly the armed forces of the constitutionalists of Jiangnan Province, made such a great reputation in Jinling City and the Northern Expedition.

Now he has entered North Jiangsu Province, and Zhang Jizhi, who has been operating in the Tongzhou area for decades, has become one again.

It turned out that the Gangnam Consultative Bureau's own henchmen had taken advantage of this powerful position, and all the Gangnam Province deputies to the provisional Senate had been booked by him.

Together with the deputies of Gangbuk-do, Hu-do, and the provisional Senate of 48 deputies, he is already a decisive force.

Wang Feng's army was between the north and the south, and its strength was relatively sufficient. Whether the Northern Army wants to go south, or the Southern Army wants to go north. The first thing to be encircled is the first division, and naturally he has to find him as the mastermind behind Wang Feng.

The old man is very popular with both the north and the south these days, and Yuan Shiren, who originally called him Ji Weng, has now reverted to the title of teacher.

When Sun Huang and he were in Shenhai, they also talked several times, and they sincerely wanted Wang Feng to have an official name in the south.

Huang Kegong even proposed to make Wang Feng the deputy head of the 6th Military Department! It is no wonder that Mr. began to call for the Sixth Route Northern Expedition in Shenhai, but it was Wang Feng's division that really did it, and the preparatory expenses for the preliminary meeting of the provisional government were signed by Wang Feng, and Zhang Jizhi paid 250,000 yuan from the Iron and Blood Bank.

But this good situation, with Wang Feng's injury, suddenly became uncertain.

Zhang Jizhi rang the bell again and again: "Prepare clothes for me!" When I went to the Nanjing Garrison of the First Division, I called Xintian to me by shunting the car! I'm going to Xuzhou! ”

When Lei Laohu hurried to Zhang's house, Zhang Jizhi was already dressed and waiting for him impatiently at the door.

The old man's face was solemn. When he saw him coming, he pulled him into the carriage with a straight face.

Lei Laohu was puzzled: "Ji Lao? Where are you going to pay your respects at such a late hour? On the 29th, the provisional president and the provisional senate will be elected, are these things variable? ”

Zhang Jizhi lowered his voice: "Accompany me to Xuzhou!" Wang Feng was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead! We're here to deal with this! ”

Lei Laohu was also taken aback, but then he laughed, and he also lowered his voice: "Ji Lao, isn't this our good opportunity?" If Wang Feng really can't do it, the Iron Blood Bank and the First Division can accept it, and the province will be separated by one layer as before. ”

Zhang Ji glared at him: "Is there anyone in your army?" Don't you know that this year is a heroic situation? Can a different person still bring us such a big benefit? Who can make such a big career from scratch like Wang Feng? ”

He was silent for a moment and sighed: "If Wang Feng really can't do it, then what you said is not wrong!" We can't give up our family business to others, so we have to go to Xuzhou quickly and arrange this matter. I'm not there, I'm not at ease, we constitutionalists used to be bare-handed scholars, but now we have everything in this day and age. Isn't this how Yuan Weiting came up? In a word, the situation of the first division cannot be collapsed! ”

Lei Laohu listened to his teacher's words, but he was turning his mind, in his opinion, Wang Feng should be the watchdog raised by their Jiangnan Provincial Constitutional Sect! Instead of the other way around, they are Wang Feng's staff group, which involves a question of whether to take the initiative or not to take the initiative.

He blinked: "Ji Lao, it's better for me not to go to Xuzhou with you, the situation in Jiangnan, you went to Xuzhou, and someone needs to maintain it." Shen Hai also needs to be stable over there, the hearts of our own people, Shen Mengxi and I have a heavy burden! What do you think? ”

Zhang Jizhi groaned for a moment: "You said it well! I'm dizzy for a while, you get out of the car quickly! When we arrived in Xuzhou, we telegraphed to contact, and there were some candidates, so you should also pay attention to the search............ What do you think of Lin Yanjun? Since Chen Yingshi supported Xu Minghao to seize the chief of staff of his coalition army, and Huang Kegong handed over his town army to Bai Wenwei, he and the alliance were very separated. He also has appeal in the 1st Division, which has the 9th Brigade as his old foundation, and can be co-opted and used as a reserve to clean up the situation. ”

Lei Laohu actually fought with this mind, in his opinion, whether Wang Feng died or not, the most advantageous thing was to take over the strength in his hands.

So he nodded again and again and got out of the carriage, he watched Zhang Jizhi's carriage with his sleeves and head straight towards the first division in the north of the city, but he was only excited in his heart: "This change is coming again!" ”

Wang Feng's 1st Division was directly subordinate to the Yangtze River Fleet, and now except for a gunboat with the name "Chu", which was moored at the Xiaguan Wharf in Jinling City as a telegraph relay ship, the others were berthed back at the 13th pier of Hanjiang City.

Wang Feng was extremely invasive about the thousands of officers and men of this fleet, and the 6th Army was still paid 20 yuan for officers and 10 yuan for soldiers.

However, the fleet has long been paid according to the official salary, and even a second lieutenant can get a ticket of forty-five yuan in the iron-blooded bank, compared with the three seas in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, those naval colleagues who voted for the wrong master, except for two months, they can hardly even maintain their staple food.

The Yangtze River Fleet feels that the current situation is quite satisfactory. Of course, when the unified government is formed, the navy may have other ideas. The telegram from the First Division to Zhang Jizhi was relayed through the Chuzi ship, and naturally other ships of all sizes in Shenhai also knew about it.

Gao Fengxiang, the commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, took the telegram copied by the official and waved it to the captains of the ships in his cabin: "What do you think? ”

The naval officers all knew very well in their hearts that they were not like the First Division, they were troops pulled up by Wang Feng himself, and they were flesh and blood.

Their navy Wang Feng is really going to fail, just change the owner. Chen Yingshi has wooed them several times, but they really don't look down on this figure who was originally called the Governor of Yangmei and is now called the Governor of Dayan.

Gao Fengxiang took off the military hat on his head and touched his shaved bald head. sighed: "In the affairs of our fleet, Senior Commander Wang has not interfered much. But there has never been a shortage of supplies, and now he is also injured for the Northern Expedition, and he is a hero! Our military spirit is a little fluctuating now, this is something I all know, but please everyone, we had no way to go before, we came to join others, and the division commander raised us, and I didn't say anything to us! In the future, let's talk about where our fleet goes, in the current situation, we can't do something sorry for the first division! ”

Several captains nodded silently, only the captain of the Wuzi asked, "If the division commander has a case, what should we do?" Where to go? ”

Gao Fengxiang thought for a moment and said categorically: "North? Now we can't go! If the division commander really has a case, we will go to the dock on this thirteenth! Whoever can afford to raise us in the south, we will go to whomever we want! ”

The opinions of the captains of these ships are not consistent, and some say that the first division must still have Zhang Jizhi to preside over the overall situation, and they can't treat their navy badly! It's not bad to squat here.

Some of them were resolute rebels, and they wanted to go to Jinling City to defect to the provisional government.

It is also said that now that the fleet has expanded to two well-equipped 6 battalions, why can't you go to the coastal area and carve out a territory by yourself? Now the situation is undecided, it is the time for heroes to be promising, and these people have also chosen the target in Yantai, Qingzhou.

Gao listened to the discussions of his captains, and only smiled helplessly, he was originally an old qualified captain to be the commander of the fleet.

Wang Feng treated him very favorably, in addition to giving himself the rank of major general, a salary of 400 yuan per month, plus 800 yuan of public funds, and privately gave him an allowance of 600 yuan per month! He really wanted to stay in the First Division.

But once Wang Feng was seriously injured like this, he really didn't know what the future of his fleet would become?
