Wang Wu smiled and walked into the headquarters of the First Brigade, Wang Yangming, Chen Jianghe, Zhang San, Lu Si, they were arguing fiercely around the map.

He laughed: "What are you arguing about? How many people, it's hard to get here, and you don't even have a sip of tea? ”

Several people listened to the voice and looked back at him. Wang Wu took off his military hat, revealing his oiled parted head, dusted off his military uniform, and sat down very calmly.

Lu Si couldn't get used to him the most, so he only snorted, Zhang San and Chen Jianghe went up to greet him very enthusiastically, and they were very affectionate.

Wang Yangming greeted him with a smile, frowned again, and said, "Brother Ziyuan, everyone is a soldier, we know that your family has money, but you don't have to dress like a playboy!" Is there an officer wearing a gold tweezer with a full hand? I saw it for Niansun, and I want to talk about you again. Everyone is taking 20 yuan to recover the salary, but you are special? ”

Wang Wu smiled indifferently: "We officers have all received two months' salaries, and the soldiers' salaries have gone up, but we are suffering." Zhuoran, according to your rank, how can you be a major general now, right? plus the brigade commander, there should always be a fuss of one or two thousand yuan for a month! Your family is not rich, and it is too hard. ”

Wang Yangming's eyes turned cold, and Wang Wu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just saying that you love to be a saint, and my brother admires it very much." I'm here today, just to talk to Zhuoran, the seizures that should be handed in by the first brigade, and the rest, just like I'm farting. ”

Wang Yangming nodded reluctantly, and ordered the quartermaster of the first brigade to go to Wang Wu to dock the business. watched Wang Wu take out a fragrant handkerchief and wipe his face, and followed the quartermaster out.

Lu Si scolded: "In the 6th Army Middle School, I don't think this kid is pleasing to the eye, and I don't know which kiln sister in Jinling City touched that handkerchief!" He, like us, takes twenty yuan a month, and if he doesn't embezzle, he's a ghost! ”

Wang Yangming shook his head: "Ziyuan's family is a big family in Sunan Province, don't wronged him for this!" It's different from our small family. ”

Chen Jianghe's family is also from a big family, and he doesn't dislike Wang Wu much.

patted Lu Si and smiled: "Lu Hei's face, let's get down to business!" This time, I will fight to the north, I will fight in the west, you will stay in Xuzhou to guard your hometown, the burden is heavy! ”

Lu Si had a straight face, he seemed to only have this kind of expression, the armband of the "Iron and Blood Pioneer" had never left his body since he brought it.

He said lightly: "Don't provoke me with words, I now know that my teaching group will eat a few taels of dry rice." I also have a heavy task in Xuzhou, and it is my responsibility to bring this team well. ”

Wang Yangming nodded appreciatively at Lu Si, and said angrily: "I am the real servant of the division commander now!" It turned out that he was worried that he would not move if he beat Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, as soon as the division commander woke up from his serious injuries, he ordered me to continue the Northern Expedition! All I had was the heart of a villain! ”

He patted Zhang San beside him on the shoulder: "This time, I will continue to go north with Lao Wang, and I will swear tomorrow." Fengqiao, if the division commander has a good one in the rear of Xuzhou, I can't spare you when I come back! Lu Xiaojia's An Wujun in the east, you keep an eye on me, you can't make a mistake! ”

Lu also snorted: "When you become the division commander, come and order me again!" Can I not know these things? ”

Chen Jianghe is also very complacent, he took three regiments of troops to sweep northern Jiangsu, for him, it means to return to his hometown, for this young man who is a little heroic, it is really a very satisfying thing.

He laughed and said, "Zhuoran, what are you worried about? Who dares to fight Xuzhou's idea, I will kill it along the canal in three days, Lu Heiface, you won't be able to hold on for even three days, right? ”

Wang Yangming glanced at him and didn't say anything, and Lu Si didn't pay attention to him.

Chen Jianghe seemed to remember something again, and took out a large bag of banknotes from his arms and gave it to him, and the crumpled ones were full of 100-yuan bills from the Iron and Blood Bank.

"The division commander called me to the hospital at noon, and asked Bai Ke to give me the money, saying that it was really hard for everyone to get all the money. Now that the military has not yet confiscated the bundles, the salary and stamps cannot be changed for a while, so everyone will be given a little more allowance. I almost forgot, thanks to Ziyuan's kid for interrupting! That's about 20,000 pieces! I don't want it, a few points! Give the regiment commander and battalion commander under his command, and also divide the points. ”

Wang Yangming looked at the bag of banknotes and frowned.

Said coldly: "I don't want it!" The army is in charge of clothes and food, and I can't use twenty yuan. Go and give it to my commander! ”

Lu Si didn't even look at the bag of banknotes, nodded hard at Wang Yangming, and walked out.

Only Zhang San smiled and took a stack of banknotes from the pack: "I have a few battalion commanders, crying to Lao Tzu all day long, I still have to send money to my family, no illness, you thank the division commander for me." ”

Chen Jianghe touched his head and looked at Wang Yangming, he knew that Wang Yangming's family situation was very bad, and his mother was also sick.

The money given by the division commander is not embezzlement, why not? He shook his head and gave another stack to Zhang San.

"You can take these to Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the Second Brigade, and I will bring the rest back to the brothers of the Second Brigade."

The news that Wang Feng was injured and still insisted on the Northern Expedition passed through Gu Zhizhong's pen and passed to the newspaper.

However, this time there was no sensation in the last few reports.

It's not that the public's attention to Wang Feng has decreased, but another big thing has attracted people's attention.

On 29 December, the delegates of the 18 prefectures voted 16 to elect Mr. Sun as the provisional commander of the provisional government.

On December 3o, Mr. took the train from Jiahai to Jinling City Railway Station, but he did not get off the train, but directly changed the head of the small train in the city and arrived at the Consulate General's Office.

All celebrities, troops, and mass organizations in Jinling City are welcomed. A group of honor guards borrowed from the Jinling City Garrison of the First Division lined up at the gate of the Consulate General's Mansion and welcomed them with shoulder guns.

After five months of turmoil in the south, the Provisional Government of the South has finally achieved its final results.

And on the day of December 3o, the two men and horses of the 1st Division went out separately after a simple ceremony.

Mr. Sun was a little tired, but more excited! He was in his official residence, looking around at the furnishings in the mansion.

Song Jiaoren and Huang Kegong sat in the sand, chatting and laughing casually, only Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangbei Province, stood behind him respectfully, standing like a messenger.

Mr. smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Xuelou, tomorrow will be the recovery." No need to stand here anymore and set rules! It was very well furnished and I was satisfied. What about Ji Lao? Not in Jinling? ”

Cheng Dequan was originally the governor of Yangzhou and a well-known old bureaucrat, but he was very good friends with Zhang Jizhi and was half of the Jiangnan constitutionalist figure.

At that time, Jinling City had a situation of one city and two governors, and one governor resigned and the other fell. The Jiangnan constitutionalists brought him out and became the governor.

With the support of the local gentry in Jiangnan, he is also quite authoritative, and with the support of Zhang Jizhi's secret economy, he has also incorporated some sporadic troops, and now he has some strength in his hands.

He coughed embarrassedly, put away the rules of serving Shangguan in the early stage, but still replied to Mr. Sun very respectfully.

"Commander-in-chief, the commander of the 1st Division of the 6th Army in Jiangnan was seriously wounded on the Xuzhou front. Zhang Jilao was concerned, and the day before yesterday, he took the train from the military station to Xuzhou, and the provisional government was established, and he couldn't catch up! ”

Mr. Sun sighed, and the news of Wang Feng's injury naturally reached him. He also discussed this matter with several elders of the party.

Wang Feng's first division of the Northern Expedition made the tone of the northern peace talks much softer, and Donald Duck even agreed, asking Yuan Shiren to force the royal family to abdicate as soon as possible.

The "strong" combat effectiveness of the First Division in the newspapers also made many people feel a little worried.

Huang Kegong resolutely advocated that heroes should not be asked about their backgrounds, and gave Wang Feng the name of deputy commander of the 6th Army, and the first division of the 6th Army in Jiangnan was also changed to the first division of the 6th Army of the Central Committee, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the 6th Army Department.

But as soon as Wang Feng was injured and couldn't be a director, many people's tunes changed.

In particular, Chen Yingshi was the most resolute advocate, and a powerful figure was selected to incorporate the First Division in the name of the party. handed over to Xu Minghao to lead and regain the name of Jiangnan Governor.

From the hands of the Jiangnan constitutionalists, take back the important state road of Jiangnan Province.

The two sides disagreed, so they simply went their own way, Mr. Sun had no prejudice against Wang Feng, and when he heard the news of his injury, he also felt very pity.

But what he dislikes Wang Feng is another thing, and that thing is money.

When he returned from abroad, he announced to the people that when the provisional government was formed, he would borrow money from abroad to deal with the aftermath, and tens of millions would be waiting for him.

But returning home was busy for almost a month. It can be said that most of the energy is devoted to fundraising. But now, when the provisional government is about to be formed, he still has nothing in his hands.

As soon as the government was established, it was impossible to maintain the operation of the central government alone, and the armies in Jiangnan and Shenhai could not sustain themselves without 5 million yuan per month on military and government expenditures.

Everywhere has tried its best to independent state roads, although they support Jinling City, but when it comes to the reimbursement money, they begin to cry poor, Shenhai Chen Yingshi is already trying his best to support, in order to partially exchange the bank's military tickets, he has poured two or three small banks opened by Chaozhou.

The most criticized tobacco sale has been stopped under his strict orders, and he still owes a lot of debts to others.

I had no choice but to think of Wang Feng's iron-blooded bank, which itself had a piece of gold, pounds, or US dollars, and was only a dollar ticket, and it was very profitable.

As long as the Iron and Blood Bank can fully support it, according to its financial resources of 10 million, it will carry out more than three times the number of votes, and there is no problem, 30 million yuan can support the government for six months!

However, Zhang Jizhi helplessly showed President Chen, who was scheduled to be the chief financial officer, a telegram from Wang Feng to him: "I have recently heard that there is a fundraising matter from the bank. Foolishly think that if there is a real mortgage, borrow part of it for emergency use. It's okay to make a profit. If there is no collateral, how can Wang face the shareholders? We have a clear set of rules for the protection of private capital! The princes should not follow this foolish deed, and it is not feasible to borrow money! ”

That time, Mr. Sun slapped the table, who doesn't know that the Iron and Blood Bank was opened by Wang Feng after scraping the ground in Hanjiang City? Now there are actually some shareholders, private capital is coming.

Therefore, he was also very moved by Chen Yingshi's acceptance of the First Division and the Iron Blood Bank.

Hearing Cheng Dequan say this, Mr. Sun asked casually: "Brother Xuelou, you are the governor of Jiangnan, and the first division is still in the Jiangnan army sequence, why don't you want to sort it out?" ”

Cheng Dequan smiled wryly: "Commander Wang's team, where can his subordinates intervene!" However, the day before yesterday, Brother Bai Liewu took office as the commander of the First Army of the Northern Expedition and led the 4,000 town army to swear in the Northern Expedition. He meant to echo Commander Wang's team, afraid that his form in Xuzhou would be too thin. Brother Songting, and the member of the Provisional Senate, Sunan Province, Brother Xintian, also went out with the army. Both of them are very concerned about Comrade Wang Feng, and their visit will definitely be helpful to Master Wang, so their subordinates will maintain the situation in Jinling City! ”

Huang Kegong and Song Jiaoren, who were originally talking, exchanged glances and stopped, Mr. Sun also looked thoughtful, and after Cheng Dequan saluted and retired, the three of them suddenly sat together.

Huang Kegong touched his beard: "Brother Bai Lie, if you don't swear to be a teacher sooner, if you don't swear to be a teacher late, you have to pick Wang Feng to be seriously injured, and when you can't be a director, you will swear to the Northern Expedition, and you will take the Jinpu Road, isn't this the idea of fighting the first division?" And brought Lin Yanjun and Lei Xintian with him, just in the name of Yanjun, to appease the children of the original Ninth Brigade of the First Division... It's just that Wang Feng was originally the number one general of their Jiangnan Constitutional faction, and Lei Laohu was Zhang Jizhi's number one disciple, how could he take over his family business? ”

Song Jiaoren said with a smile: "It was Wang Feng who found them at the beginning, but they didn't recruit Wang Feng, maybe they have been shadows behind them for a long time, and they also want to jump to the front of the stage?" The barrel of the gun is in the hands of others, after all, it is not as real as in your own hands. ”

He sneered: "Wait for the success of the peace talks between the north and the south, and the royal family will abdicate." It's the main cabinet of the political party, and those soldiers are not all big cadres of the national defense force? The Jiangnan constitutionalists still want to be armed and separatized? Lei Xintian is also a smart person, why did he lose his mind this time? ”

He is a figure in his early thirties, with clear eyebrows and talents, but unfortunately he is a little too obsessed with the political system of the Western Yuan Continent. Huang Kegong is a figure of the old celebrity school, and it is interesting to be with him.

Mr. Sun patted the table and seemed a little moved: "Brother Bai Lie, he and Lin Yanjun are both comrades, how can they engage in this kind of trick of annexing other people's strength!" Wang Feng, after all, he has made a great contribution to the recovery! and the injuries suffered on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, we can't treat the recovered heroes like this! I'll send them a telegram right away! ”

Song Jiaoren dragged him down: "Sir, don't be in such a hurry!" How many days does it take for Jinling City to get to Xuzhou? You sent a telegram to the past, and now Bai Lie and they may all be in Xuzhou! They are hiding this matter from us going north, and they must be investigated. But now that things are probably done, let's think about the aftermath! To put it mildly, Wang Feng's army is in the hands of Brother Bai Lie and Lin Yanjun, and it is much more useful to us than in the hands of Wang Feng! Don't forget, sir, there is also the Iron Bloodbank! ”

Mr. Sun was silent, but finally stood up, his eyes flashing: "My Sun has acted impartially in his life, what is right is right, and no matter how wrong it is, it can't be right." If Wang Feng is treated like this, how can I be at ease? What other than the enemy of the nation cannot be resolved through negotiation? Treat meritorious people like this, what face do we have, and treat these comrades who are fighting to the death with us? I have made up my mind, Brother Dull Chu, immediately write me a telegram to Brother Bai Lie, ordering the First Army of the Northern Expedition not to enter Xuzhou! ”

Song Jiaoren just sighed slightly, but Huang Kegong nodded slowly, he has always been famous for his kindness, and the last time his son forced Wang Feng to resign, he felt very guilty. This time, he agreed with the gentleman's opinion from the bottom of his heart.

It's just Brother Bai Lie, where have they gone now?
