Chapter 100 Everyone has enough to eat and everyone has clothes to wear
Mentioning his friend 'Zhang Shaozeng', Lan Tianwei couldn't help but feel a touch of joy in his eyes. The two had known each other since childhood and had the same interests. After seeing the bigger world, he naturally wanted to bring his friend together.
"Captain, I think it's time to show off to Jingyu (Zhang Shaozeng)."
Although Lan Tianwei and Zhang Shaozeng had a close relationship, he would certainly not tell Zhang Shaozeng the internal situation of the organization without reservation without the permission of the organization.
"Well, since you think it's almost done, then go ahead and do it."
Li Jie nodded. He still believed Lan Tianwei's judgment. Speaking of Zhang Shaozeng, many people may be a little unfamiliar with this name, but he is indeed an out-and-out celebrity within Beiyang.
This man first rose to prominence in the New Army, and was later sent to study abroad in the Sakura Country. After returning to the country, he served as the supervisor of the Army Noble Academy (a school dedicated to teaching the children of powerful people).
After entering the Republic of China, Zhang Shao served successively as General Suiyuan (the highest official in Mongolia), Director of Army Training of the Beiyang Government, Deputy Secretary of the Army, and Prime Minister.
Zhang Shaozeng was born in poverty and rose to the highest political stage step by step. His life experience can be described as legendary. Unfortunately, because he tended to be republican and advocated negotiating with Sun Yat-sen for the reunification of the north and south, he was jealous of Cao Kun and Zhang Yuting. As a result, he not only lost his official position, but also lost his job.
Life.
Li Jie felt a little sorry for Zhang Shaozeng, so he just wanted to use Lan Tianwei's help to unite him into his own camp.
After receiving Li Jie's approval, Lan Tianwei felt happy, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"Commander, how much should I tell Jingyu?"
Li Jie waved his hand: "It's up to you."
Don't be suspicious of people, but don't be suspicious of employees. Since he has chosen to trust Lan Tianwei, Li Jie will just give him instructions. If he has to do everything himself, sooner or later he will die of overwork like Prime Minister Zhuge.
"clear!"
After leaving Zhu's Mansion, Lan Tianwei did not go back to the base, but rushed directly towards Zhang Shaozeng's residence. It happened that his friend had a day off today, so instead of going back to the base to waste time, it was better to strike while the iron was hot and draw his friend to his side.
However, unfortunately, when Lan Tianwei arrived at Zhang Shaozeng's house, he happened to go out. About half an hour later, Zhang Shaozeng hurried back home after being notified by his adjutant.
"Xiuhao, why didn't you say hello in advance?"
As soon as the two met, Zhang Shaozeng had a dark face and began to 'blame' Lan Tianwei for not notifying him in advance and making Lan Tianwei wait for so long.
Lan Tianwei laughed, not caring at all about Zhang Shaozeng's 'unkind' tone, but instead teased.
"Why, now that I've been promoted, my temper has gotten louder? If I want to see you, do I have to send in my greetings in advance?"
Last month, Zhang Shao was recommended by Xiliang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and took over the post of commander of the 20th town (equivalent to division commander), stationed in Fengtian and Xinmin areas.
In the original time and space, Zhang Shaozeng would not be promoted to commander until February next year, but because of Li Jie's intervention, he was promoted ahead of schedule.
However, Zhang Shaozeng himself did not know all this, and the reason why Li Jie did this was mainly to facilitate Lan Tianwei and Zhang Shaozeng to move around more and recruit this person under his command in advance.
Regarding how to recruit Zhang Shaozeng, Li Jie's intelligence staff formulated several plans, and sending Lan Tianwei to come forward was just one of them. Even if Lan Tianwei failed, others would come forward.
All in all, as long as the other party becomes the commander of the 20th town, he will not be able to escape Li Jie's grasp.
Zhang Shaozeng rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Well, this is a very good plan, very good!"
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the drawing room, where Zhang Shaozeng waved to summon the adjutant.
"Go and get the bottle of good wine that I treasure, and go to the kitchen to get some peanuts."
Although they live in the same three provinces in the Northeast, they don't meet often because of work. On average, they don't see each other once a month. Therefore, wine is absolutely essential every time they meet.
Even if the two met in the morning, they would inevitably have a few drinks.
A pot of wine and a stack of peanuts, although they looked shabby, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei ate them with gusto.
As the two chatted, they talked about another character among the "Three Heroes of Beiyang Non-commissioned Officers", Wu Luzhen.
"I don't know when Brother Shouqing will be able to return to the country."
"It should be soon." Lan Tianwei glanced at the west and whispered: "Brother Shouqing's trip abroad this time may be a good thing. After all, Beijing is not peaceful now."
"What a fucking bastard!"
Zhang Shaozeng pointed to the south and cursed. Lan Tianwei's words reminded him of the chaos in Beijing.
The country is about to be destroyed, and the higher-ups are still trying to fight for power and profit. This Qing Dynasty is really hopeless!
When he was young, he was full of passion, but no matter how passionate his blood was, it could not withstand the corrupt, incompetent and dark world. The more he saw, the colder his heart became.
It wasn't until he came into contact with the Tongmenghui while studying abroad that his cold blood became warm again.
After scolding him bitterly, Zhang Shaozeng glanced at his friend, sighed and said.
"Xiuhao, come here today, do you have something to tell me?"
Lan Tianwei said unexpectedly: "How do you know?"
Zhang Shaozeng curled his lips and said, "You only have so little money and you are still pretending to be in front of me. Tell me, if you have anything to say, I guarantee that no matter what you say today, no third person will know about it!"
Being exposed, Lan Tianwei didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he came today just to show off his cards. It didn't matter if it was earlier or later.
"Jingyu, have you forgotten what I mentioned to you before?"
Zhang Shaozeng smiled slightly and realized that in fact, he had long known that his friend had joined another organization.
If you want to understand a person, the best way is to observe his words and actions. In the past period of time, Lan Tianwei has changed too much, and Mr. Yixian, who was open and silent before, will not be mentioned.
"Of course I haven't forgotten it. Why, did I pass the inspection?"
"ah?"
Hearing these words, Lan Tianwei was stunned. He opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Zhang Shaozeng. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
'He...how did he know?'
'Could it be...'
Before Lan Tianwei could think about it, Zhang Shaozeng gave the answer directly.
"Xiu Hao, Xiu Hao, do you know that in fact, I have been waiting for your words for a long time? I really want to see the world you describe where 'everyone has enough to eat and everyone has clothes to wear'
."
After saying this, Zhang Shaozeng's expression suddenly changed and became extremely solemn.
"Can I trust you?"
Lan Tianwei gave her response almost without thinking.
