Chapter 48 Debriefing

"Thank you, Brother Niu, for mentioning." Wang Maoru said gratefully, but he thought of when he offended Xu Shuzheng, this Xu Shuzheng was simply a white-eyed wolf, and he would turn his face when he said it.

Niu Delu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wang, do it yourself, do it yourself, brother can only help you get here, what do you want me to pass on?" ”

Wang Maoru thought about it, shook his head, and said, "Not really." Thank you, Brother Niu. ”

In fact, before the evening, Wang Maoru was released, but it was not released by someone from the War Department, but by the secretary of the president's office who took him away. Yuan Shikai's confidential secretary Lu Bicheng picked him up directly, and the car he was riding in was given to the president. This Lu Bicheng is a strange woman, she is a native of Jingde, Anhui Province, her father is the former Qing Jinshi, can be described as a family history, she and her sister Lu Huiru, Lu Meisun are famous for their poetry and writing, known as "Huainan Sanlu, the world is well-known." She was the first scholar to run a women's school, the first girls' school in the Qing Dynasty, Beiyang Women's Normal College was built under her active planning, with the support of Tang Shaoyi and others, and she was only 23 years old when she served as the chief teacher (equivalent to the principal). Because of his outstanding writing, Lu Bicheng was appointed by Yuan Shikai as a confidential secretary, and Lu Bicheng generously accepted the invitation, considering that his rise in official position could give him greater support for the feminist movement.

got into the car, Lu Bicheng didn't say a word, and Wang Maoru couldn't say anything, so he arrived at the presidential palace in silence all the way. The presidential palace of the Beiyang government is actually Zhongnanhai, the former Qing Dynasty was the summer vacation place of the palace nobles, Cixi also often came here to escape the summer, and over time, it was here to work, and many princes and ministers also came to ask for instructions. And Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, watching Cixi work every day, but he couldn't do anything as an emperor, and he died in his thirties when he was depressed.

Wang Maoru followed Lu Bicheng and came to the president's office, but at the door, he saw a small officer withdrawing, some familiar but forgot where he had seen it. When the little officer saw Lu Bicheng and the two, he smiled and said, "Secretary General Lu is so busy. ”

Lu Bicheng smiled and said, "Senior Zhang is also busy." ”

The teacher surnamed Zhang smiled dryly: "I'm a big old man, and I'm busy and busy, who is this?" ”

"This is Mr. Xiusheng Wang Maoru, who is now serving as the deputy director of the flight section in the Ministry of Communications."

"Could it be that the martial general Wang Killing God who annihilated the Bailang bandit army in the first battle?" The teacher surnamed Zhang immediately glared at Xiaodou's eyes, looked at him with interest, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "He is a slapper, it turns out that the killing god is you, powerful, young and promising, young and promising." ”

As soon as he blurted out the classic verbal phrase "he ** a". Wang Maoru already knew who he was, this person must be Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, but now Zhang Zuolin is not the king of the Northeast, but the commander of the 27th Division of the Beiyang Army.

"It turned out to be Master Zhang, who has heard of the name for a long time, and has heard of the name for a long time." Wang Maoru saluted and said, he is a lieutenant colonel in the army, and Zhang Zuolin is a lieutenant general in the army.

Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "It seems that the president is going to reward you, amazing, you were rewarded by the president at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Master Zhang is joking, only Master Zhang carries my share, how can I carry it, if Master Zhang has time, how about I do it?" ”

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said: "He's a, it's not done, it's not done, it's not done, I'm going back to Guanwai tonight, when will you come to the Northeast in the future, I invite you to eat robe meat and drink sorghum wine." ”

"It's okay, Master Zhang is not allowed to repay the debt, hahaha." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Zhang Zuolin said: "Definitely not, goodbye, Secretary General Lu, Brother Xiusheng." Turning around and leaving with the adjutant, Lu Bicheng was silent, and Wang Maoru saw him walking away, so he said: "This person is good, and he will be a hero in the future." Lu Bicheng's eyes lit up, but he remained silent and took Wang Maoru to the president's office.

I haven't seen him for a month, Yuan Shikai is now a little blessed, a barber is shaving his head, Wang Maoru and Lu Bicheng are standing aside and waiting. After the barber finished his haircut, he bowed and went down with the basin of water. Yuan Shikai touched his bald head and said, "It's a lot cooler." He was wearing a long coat at this time, like a rich man in the countryside, and no one could tell on the street that this was the president of the Republic of China. The two mustaches on his mouth were completely white, and he looked a little older than he had been years ago. There were several pieces of literature on the table in front of him, and at this time he walked to the table and looked at these documents, which were all important matters of the country, and Wang Maoru did not dare to disturb. After a while, Yuan Shikai put down Wen Jiàn, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This day is annoying, Xiusheng, you sit." ”

"Yes, President."

Yuan Shikai put down his pen, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Recently, there have been more and more things, but I have delayed your business." ”

Wang Maoru was respectful and didn't speak much.

"Your troops did a good job in Henan this time, but they killed too much." Yuan Shikai said.

Wang Maoru raised his head and wanted to distinguish between two sentences, but after thinking about it, the leader was right to criticize, so he lowered his head and said: "Yes, you must pay attention to your humble position." ”

Yuan Shikai looked at the clock time on the table, and said: "Recently, someone impeached you for expanding the army without authorization and plotting against you, do you know?" ”

Wang Maoru said: "The person who impeached is not empty and white-toothed, his subordinates are indeed suspected of expanding the army without authorization, but as for the bad intentions, the subordinates don't have the courage." I wonder if the President can listen to me and explain? ”

Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "You speak." ”

Wang Maoru said: "The subordinates in the War Department are the garrison brigade of the flying team, but the War Department does not send officers and soldiers, but only gives a random establishment, which requires the subordinates to recruit troops and officers themselves. The subordinates originally formed the Huaxing Factory Escort Team for self-protection, which was a kind of militia group, and it was noted in the Gyeonggi Garrison Yamen. The lowly position was expanded to 900 according to his own escort team, and then let his officers compete with each other for three months to fight for the number of officers and soldiers, but it was not really a private expansion. These 900 people went to fight for 150 official places, so that the soldiers were more competitive and enterprising, and the rest of the people, I was going to recruit them into the factory, were all young and strong laborers, which naturally saved me the trouble of recruiting workers again. The military training of the subordinate new army lasted for three months, the first month practiced the rules and rest time of the army, as well as orders and prohibitions, marching, etiquette, etc., the second month began to practice shooting, bayonet fighting, cross-country, long-distance marching, actual combat training, and the third month the subordinates planned to take them to assist in suppressing bandits. Three months later, the whole army competed, the winner stayed, and the loser entered the factory as a worker. It was only two months and three days of military training for his subordinates that he was transferred by the War Department to pull the strings, so he thought of practicing actual combat while marching. ”
