(37) The mystery of Brigadier Xu's life experience

In the battle in the direction of Nanjing, the reason why the notorious Zhang Xun was able to defeat the Yuan army was not because he himself led the charge on horseback, but because he had four field cannons in his hands that the Yuan army did not have.

Looking at the entire "Battle of Ganning", in fact, all these battles have not much to show at all.

This is actually why the current Yang Shuoming dares to despise such a straw bag like Zhang Jingyao.

After Huang Yunzhi read it, Yang Shuoming checked the written letter again, put the letter paper into the envelope and sealed it, and called a security guard on duty, "Go and invite the battalion commander Liu and the adjutant commander Zhang over." ”

The security guard said yes and ran away.

"Where are the battalion commander and adjutant general?" Huang Yunzhi asked a little strangely.

"It's Liu Haozi's bullshit Fifth Mixed Brigade," Yang Shuoming replied with a smile, "They are indeed [***] officers, and they were sent by Zhang Jingyao's Sixth Division to contact Liu Haozi and them, and by the way, they mixed up with the bandits." ”

Huang Yunzhi thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you going to let them carry the letter back?" ”

"Yes." Yang Shuoming nodded and said, "Of course, we have to send someone to follow." ”

Huang Yunzhi bowed slightly, didn't ask again, but sat down beside him.

After a while, several security guards escorted two officers of the Beiyang Army in.

These two officers, one named Zhang Qingyuan and the other named Liu Mingming, are wearing gray military uniforms, riding boots on their feet, and wearing a large-brimmed military hat with a five-colored five-pointed star cockade on their heads.

The security guards standing beside them, wearing blue-gray military uniforms and military hats embellished with blue circles and red ground yellow five-pointed star logos, are completely the standard of soldiers.

When the two Beiyang Army officers saw Yang Shuoming and his wife sitting at the table, a flattering smile immediately appeared on their faces, Yang Shuoming noticed that a trace of greed flashed in their eyes unconsciously when they saw Huang Yunzhi, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Battalion Commander Liu, Adjutant General Zhang, please take a seat." Yang Shuoming raised his hand slightly, pointed to the two chairs, and said.

"Thank you, thank you." The two of them sat down with a smile and looked at Yang Shuoming with a shocked gaze.

"The two of you were on an errand this time, and they were held hostage by bandits by mistake, but they were able to get out of danger safely, which can be regarded as fulfilling their mission." Yang Shuoming looked at the two of them and said lightly.

"That's, that's." The two officers heard that Yang Shuoming was looking for them to go down the stairs, and immediately agreed to follow his words.

"You two must have seen the situation here." Yang Shuoming continued, "After the two of you go back, please truthfully report what you see to Master Zhang. ”

"Definitely, definitely." The two officers replied in unison.

"This letter is about the establishment of the new Fifth Mixed Brigade and the appointment of the brigade commander here, please hand them over to Division Commander Zhang, and express our earnest intention to serve the country." Yang Shuoming took the letter on the table and raised it, and a security guard stepped forward to take the letter and brought it to Zhang Qingyuan.

Hearing the words "the establishment of a new Fifth Mixed Brigade," the two officers were startled and involuntarily glanced at each other.

Zhang Qingyuan looked at Yang Shuoming in fear, stretched out his hands, respectfully accepted the letter, and carefully put it into his arms.

"I also prepared some gifts for Master Zhang, and I bothered to give them to Master Zhang together." Yang Shuoming said with a pleasant face, "I will send someone to escort the two and other noble officers and soldiers back, and in front of Master Zhang, I will also ask the two of you to say a lot of kind words, and if the integration is successful, I will definitely thank the two of you." ”

Listening to Yang Shuoming's words, the faces of the two Beiyang Army officers were full of joy.

"Mr. Yang, please rest assured, the matter of your department's adaptation is on us." Zhang Qingyuan patted his chest and said.

"yes, yes! Mr. Yang, don't worry! We are rescued by you, and we will be rewarded by the spring of water. Mr. Yang and Captain Xu's loyalty to the country, the sky can be expressed, we will definitely achieve this matter, Mr. Yang, you are waiting for our good news! The officer named Liu Mingliang was obviously relieved, he seemed to be better at talking than Zhang Qingyuan, and for a while, Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi were secretly amused.

After showing the gifts to Zhang Jingyao to the two Beiyang Army officers and sending them away, Yang Shuoming stretched his waist, and Huang Yunzhi pulled him to the dining table and sat down, packed the food for him, and sent it to him.

"Eat more, you're too tired for a while." Huang Yunzhi looked at Yang Shuoming, who was a little haggard, her eyes were full of tenderness and pity, "Catch up with the New Year, take a break." ”

"It's good to be busy for a while." Yang Shuoming looked at her and admonished, "You are not alone now, your body is inconvenient, you must pay more attention to your body, don't be tired." ”

"Hmm." Hearing his words, Huang Yunzhi's eyes flashed with happiness, "Erniang has already arranged it, Mother Wu and they will come over after the fifth day of the new year." Mother Wu took care of me since I was a child, and she will be fine. ”

Wu's mother is the middle-aged woman who gave Yang Shuoming a silver dollar after Huang Yunzhi was rescued and returned home, Yang Shuoming heard her name and remembered the scene when the two met for the first time, and couldn't help but smile happily.

"I didn't expect to be a father so soon. It just feels different! Yang Shuoming sighed secretly.

Since the two officially got married, the relationship is as good as honey blending oil, as long as they are separated for a while, the two will unconsciously look for each other, it can be said that "only envy the mandarin duck and not envy the fairy", due to the too loving relationship, the result is that there will soon be the crystallization of love.

For Yang Shuoming, a time-traveler from later generations, in his era when housing prices rose to the sky, such happiness was difficult to get for a talented person like him, not to mention countless young people who were struggling at the bottom.

The happiness in front of him is a powerful motivation for him to struggle in this era.

"I hope that when our children are born, the first thing they see is a different world." Yang Shuoming said, his eyes flashing with perseverance again.

Two months later, Zhang Qingyuan and Liu Mingliang returned, and just as Yang Shuoming expected, Zhang Jingyao really agreed to his request.

This time, Zhang and Liu not only brought Xu Yuanjin's letter of appointment as the commander of the Fifth Mixed Brigade and the last bank check, but also brought the commendation order of Li Chun, the acting governor of Jiangxi, and several beautiful medals.

According to Li Chun's order, for the sake of "guarding the mountainous areas, calming the place, eliminating bandits, and ensuring the people's livelihood", the newly formed Fifth Mixed Brigade of the Jiangxi Army was established in the western Jiangxi region, which was under the control of Zhang Jingyao's Sixth Division. Xu Yuanjin was appointed brigade commander, Yang Shuoming was appointed chief of staff, and Wu Jie was appointed quartermaster. The new Fifth Mixed Brigade has a provisional strength of 5,000 personnel. Among them, 2,000 salaries were temporarily borne by the Jiangxi Provincial Government (that is, the 20,000 yuan bank check of the Quartermaster Department, except for this check, military uniforms and firearms were all lost), and the rest was donated by the "local government".

In order to commend Yang Shuoming and others for their contributions in developing salt mines, killing bandits, and defending local tranquility, Li Chun also sent a special commendation order, awarding Xu Yuanjin the "Second-Class Jiahe Medal" and Huang Shiyao, Yang Shuoming, and Wu Jie "Third-Class Jiahe Medal".

"This time, you can put on your military uniform in a dignified manner."

When Yang Shuoming returned to Shuanglong Town and handed over the letter of appointment, commendation order, medal order and Jiahe Medal to Xu Yuanjin, Xu Yuanjin had a disapproving expression on his face, but when he heard Yang Shuoming's words, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"I'm asking you for such a big official, don't you invite me to drink two cups?" Yang Shuoming looked at Xu Yuanjin's eyes, smiled, and said.

"Of course I have to." Xu Yuanjin put the medal on his military uniform and nodded, "Let's go!" You pick the place. ”

Yang Shuoming and Xu Yuanjin came to a small restaurant in the town, asked for a few exquisite wine and food, the two sat down and drank, after a few glasses of wine, Yang Shuoming noticed that Xu Yuanjin's face turned red little by little, and his eyes became moist.

"Have you always wondered what I was doing?" Xu Yuanjin played with the blue and white porcelain wine glass in his hand and asked in a dumb voice.

"Yes." Yang Shuoming looked at Xu Yuanjin's face and nodded, "I've always suspected that you used to be an excellent soldier, but for some reason, you came here." ”

"You're so observant and can guess that, it's already remarkable." Xu Yuanjin smiled and shook his head, "However, no matter how much you know about this 'know-it-all' and 'big understanding', I won't give you some specific hints, you still can't guess." ”

"Then you can tell me this hint first, see if I can guess it?" Yang Shuoming smiled slightly, took the wine jug, and filled Xu Yuanjin's cup.

"To be honest, that little steel cannon you made - no, mortar, is really good, I dare to say it now, just with this mortar, he Zhang Jingyao will not dare to provoke us to rob the salt mine easily." Xu Yuanjin drank all the wine in the cup, looked at Yang Shuoming and said.

Yang Shuoming was a little surprised why his words suddenly turned to the mortar, but what Xu Yuanjin said next surprised him.

"There's a cannon I don't think you can make right now, you know?" Xu Yuanjin's eyes became angry, and his tone began to become more and more excited, "When I followed Nie Junmen to guard Tianjin, I encountered this kind of dogmatic cannon made by foreign devils...... Many of the brothers died without knowing why...... It's a pity Nie Junmen! He roared violently and slammed his fist on the table, startling Yang Shuoming and the surrounding drinkers.
