Chapter 69 Consolidation

"Huh?" Zuo Yuchan was born in a small household, how do you know, at this time, Zuo Yuzhuo, another sister with a basin of water, walked in, saw Wang Maoru, and said, "Are you awake?" It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. He walked over, took Zuo Yuchan's hand towel, and said, "It's a little cold, my sister goes and throws another towel." ”

"Hmm."

Sister Zuo Yuchan watched her sister go out of the house, and suddenly said, "Master, you are a big official, right?" ”

"How do you say that?"

"The people who brought you back last night called you General."

Wang Maoru smiled, let her put the towel on her forehead, it was warm and comfortable, and said, "I just won the reward and became the brigade commander of the major general." ”

Zuo Yuzhuo gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt in front of Wang Maoru, and said, "I beg the master to let my sister go, and Yuzhuo is willing to repay it with his body." She knew that since the sisters entered this palace, it was difficult to get out. When they were in Zhuangzi, the women scolded them for being broom stars, fox spirits, what kind of species, and they would definitely be the scourge of men in the future. Compared with her sister, her sister naturally knows more about the difficulties of life, why did the master take in their mother and daughter, the mother has been fighting for the master for many years, and the idea of being the master has long been aimed at them, if it weren't for the mother begging for mercy, they would have become the taboo of the lord long ago.

Wang Maoru said: "In the past, I was powerless and powerless, and I couldn't help you, but now I finally have some worth, but I can help you, so I will take you back to Zuojiazhuang to recognize your relatives another day." Life in the village is nothing more than planting crops, and your mother is also old, so it is better to go to the city and enjoy the blessings. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Zuo Yuzhuo cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

"You get up, what are you crying about, in fact, you can stay at your own convenience, with my current identity, no one dares to force you to stay, but here are all young masters and playboys of the banner people, or second-rate ruffians, it can't be done to go out like this, wait for me to be in good health, take you out." Wang Maoru said. After recuperating at home for a day, Wang Maoru's health also recovered, and he went to the barracks again.

The War Department allocated uniforms and quilts to the 11th Garrison Brigade of the Frontier Guards, but when Wang Maoru sent Zhu Yongquan to get them, he only got 800 sets of new uniforms and 1,500 sets of tattered old uniforms, some of which were bitten out of holes by rats. As for the military quilts, they only received 200 sets.

Zhu Yongquan thought that he would be able to display his talents, and came to the 11th Brigade of the Frontier Guards with the rank of major officer. He went a few more times, but was stopped by the men of the Armaments Division, on the grounds that it would take time to be redeployed. Zhu Yongquan was very depressed, so he inquired through a friend, and learned that it was the ghost of Weng Zhilin, the director of the Armaments Department, who was an old man in Beiyang, who had worked in the Armaments Department for many years, but had not been promoted, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Wang Maoru's sudden promotion to major general and brigade commander, and Wang Maoru did not visit him afterwards, so he ordered the people below who were difficult for Wang Maoru, although Zhu Yongquan was a major officer, he was not famous in Beiyang, so he naturally refused. Zhu Yongquan asked for it again and again, and finally got 2,000 sets of military uniforms and 1,000 marching quilts, some of which were patched, and Zhu Yongquan returned to the barracks, very ashamed.

The old man of Beiyang made it difficult, Wang Maoru naturally had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he turned around and appeased his subordinates to leave them alone. Regarding the difficulties suffered by Zhu Yongquan, he had already thought that doing so was also to suppress and suppress Zhu Yongquan and give him a setback. This person is talented, and he came with an officer sent by the Ministry of War, although it is not necessarily Xu Shuzheng's nail, but only one authority is allowed to exist in the barracks, that is, himself.

Regarding the problem of insufficient uniforms and marching equipment in the barracks, Wang Maoru summoned all the officers to discuss it together, and he put the responsibility on the corrupt officials of the Armaments Department to make things difficult, and relieved Zhu Yongquan of the siege, saying that Zhu Chief of Staff tried his best, but he could not bear those villains. This matter had to be discussed by everyone, so he asked He Rufei, who was the director of the General Affairs Office, with a wry smile, saying that he knew that this Weng Zhilin, a typical villain, would not be reasonable with him, and he could not do anything about it.

Li Delin said that we should simply wear the black uniforms of the Huaxing Security Corps, the military uniforms of the Beiyang Army are extremely ugly, Zhu Yongquan persuaded: "Since we have become the Beiyang Army, we are still in Zhili, so we don't need to be special, at least we can use these military uniforms during training." Everyone thought about it, and they stopped talking about it. In the final analysis, the way has to be taken by Wang Maoru, the security uniform is beautiful and durable, and the spirit is vibrant, but it is not the uniform of the Beiyang Army. Wang Maoru said: "Everyone can also see that although we are a newly established border army brigade, the War Department does not treat us very much, and we have to be self-reliant." Since the brothers are following me, I promise, military uniforms, marching quilts, and where there are deficiencies, I will pay out of my own pocket. The only thing I'm afraid of now is military salary, the six masters of Beiyang are still underpaid, not to mention our newly established border army. But I can't let my brother who is with me go hungry, and get a military salary from me first. In a word, I will not let the brothers who follow me suffer. ”

"Long live the brigade commander" Li Delin and other officers cheered in unison, Zhu Yongquan and He Rufei looked at each other, lowered their heads, and knew in their hearts that the 11th Garrison Brigade of the Defense Army here was like Wang Maoru's private army, just look at the reactions of the officers below. The two of them were not clumsy-minded people, and they each pondered.

The next day, He Rufei came back from the Army Division with someone, and the male duck laughed in his voice: "I didn't bring back the arms, but I brought money back to the adults." The security guards who were with him opened the box, and it turned out to be tens of thousands of oceans, with shining silver eyes. How did you get the money? Everyone hurriedly asked, He Rufei said: "The weapons approved by the War Department have been replaced by the people of the Ordnance Department, I think they are all some shabby goods, so I simply didn't ask for them, I told the guards that you helped me sell these weapons, and I got half of the money." The armory guards were naturally willing, it turned out that they had already sold the arms to the 16th Mixed Brigade. I came back with half of the money directly, a total of 40,000 oceans. My lord, please punish without your consent. ”

If there was no cup for Zhu Yongquan, Wang Maoru would really punish him, but seeing Zhu Yongquan's deflatedness, He Rufei's bold behavior made him feel a kind of amazement. And the people of the Ordnance Bureau are too rampant, He Rufei did a good job, and it is estimated that there is nothing outside the 40,000 oceans, and he was eaten clean by the Ordnance Bureau.
