Another incident happened when Dong Shuheng and the others were leaving.
Xu Yue found Dong Shuheng secretly. He seemed to have mustered up his courage, and his face turned red to the base of his ears.
His eyes kept looking at the six carriages behind him unconsciously.
It's like looking at the big girl you like.
He said embarrassedly: "President, can you give us two of those hand-cranked machine guns?"
Dong Shuheng looked at Xu Yue, with no apparent expression on his face.
"How about just one shot? This gun is too powerful. As long as we swing the carriage onto the mountain road, many enemies can stop it."
Dong Shuheng knew that it was Pan Qiliang who showed off his big stick in front of Xu Yue.
Otherwise, the carriage was so tightly covered that Xu Yue and the others would not have known about it.
Seeing Xu Yue standing there so anxious that he almost cried, Dong Shuheng finally said: "These machine guns were brought here to give you."
"But not now. Even if I give it to you now, you won't be able to use it. When we get to your headquarters, I'll let you, Commander Lu, divide it up."
Xu Yue immediately understood that this was a gift from the president to Commander Lu.
Xu Yue suddenly felt that it was a good thing to have a female commander above him.
This is called the first to get the moon near the water and the tower.
Everyone knows the relationship between the commander and the president very well.
"Your Taihang column is the first batch of troops to receive machine guns."
"Okay, President, let's set off quickly!" Xu Yue said hehe.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was the only one who knew about this matter, so he could behave well in front of Lu Feiyan and see if he could get more points.
Now it seems impossible to divide the four regiments of the Taihang Column equally.
Dong Shuheng was actually very anxious. He had traveled through the middle of the night last night, and now that he had rested for a whole morning, everyone's energy had basically recovered.
Dong Shuheng's heart had already flown to the valley.
Xu Yue took a platoon of soldiers and set off with the guard group. If Dong Shuheng and the others were asked to follow the map, it would definitely waste a lot of time.
Entering the hinterland of the Taihang base area, the roads are even better. Many places are smooth cement roads.
The team headed west along Jingxing Road and turned a corner when they arrived at Niangzi Pass.
Entered a path heading north.
There were some small towns along the official road, but Dong Shuheng and the others did not stop.
If you want to reach the distance of two to three hundred miles before dark, you must keep riding.
However, Dong Shuheng would still look at the people rushing by the roadside from time to time while riding on his horse.
Through their complexions and their mental states, Dong Shuheng tried to see how the people in Taihang Mountain were living.
The people who came out on such a cold day were certainly not just hanging out.
Most of them were pushing wheelbarrows, which have long been popular among the people. The carts were loaded with equipment and were sent to the town for selling mountain goods.
Dong Shuhenghai saw some wheelbarrows replaced with rubber wheels. They must have been bought from a trading company.
Even though they are just wheels, rubber wheels are stronger and more labor-saving than wooden wheels.
Along the path, Dong Shuheng could occasionally see temples or Taoist temples on nearby mountains.
"President, the headquarters is about to arrive. Look at Ziyun Mountain in the northwest. Our headquarters is in a valley at the foot of Ziyun Mountain, which was formerly called Wayaogou."
Following the direction of Xu Yue's finger, Dong Shuheng saw a towering mountain peak.
"Drive!" Dong Shuheng shouted, urging Dahei, who had his butt lowered, to rush forward.
The guard beside him quickly jumped on his horse to catch up.
Xu Yue understood in his heart that he must behave well in front of the commander from now on.
After crossing the line of sky, Dong Shuheng's eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw an open valley in front of him.
There are criss-crossing roads in the valley, all of which are reclaimed farmland. But at this time, the farmland has been covered with thick white snow, and you can't see what is being planted in the field.
Through the farmland ditches beside the road, the team could barely distinguish the road.
Whenever he encountered a sentry post along the way, Xu Yue went up to contact him.
Saved Dong Shuheng a lot of time.
The person on duty at the entrance of the valley was a company commander who was a veteran of the Huai Navy.
I do recognize Dong Shuheng.
The war horses ran along the flat path in the valley, with a newly built town in front of them.
Brick and tile houses of the same style are neatly arranged and surrounded by a wall.
In the middle of the town is a small courtyard, which is obviously larger than the surrounding courtyards.
The noise caused by the galloping of more than 2,000 horses outside had already alarmed the town.
The guard in the small town watchtower looks from a distance with binoculars.
Well, it's one of our own. It's strange. Even if it's one of our own, according to regulations, the guards outside the mountain should report it.
There is a telegraph machine in the valley to communicate with the outside world, but the guards outside the mountain didn't even take the telegram. Who is here?
In the small courtyard in the middle of the town, Lu Feiyan had just finished breastfeeding.
Her milk was scarce, and it was very difficult for the baby to suck it. However, she only fed her once or twice a day during the day, and the wet nurse nursed her at other times.
The doctor said that her breasts were blocked and it would be better if the child could suck more.
"Why are there a large group of cavalry outside?" Lu Feiyan had fought on the battlefield and was very familiar with the sound of cavalry.
"Sister, don't worry, you should be one of your own, I'll go check it out." After saying that, Juan'er put on her military coat, put on her hat, and left the room.
A gust of cold wind blew into Juan'er's face, making her shiver.
The female barracks gathered and Juaner shouted.
There were so many cavalry coming unexpectedly that Juan'er didn't dare to be careless.
In an instant, the female soldiers wrapped themselves tightly and ran out of the barracks.
Go up to the watchtower and guard the gate.
Juaner herself took a platoon of female soldiers out of the camp gate.
She could vaguely see that the other party was wearing the uniform of the Taihang Column.
My tense heart relaxed slightly.
Riding on their war horses, Juan'er and his men ran out of the town and faced the team on the opposite side.
As the two teams got closer and closer, a look of surprise appeared on Juan'er's face.
Why is it him?
Why is he here?
I don't know why the temperature on Juan'er's face is rising.
Fortunately, her face was now covered by the neckband, leaving only a pair of big watery eyes.
The hot breath condensed a layer of frost on her long eyelashes.
Riding on a big black horse, Dong Shuheng saw a group of female soldiers coming out of the town.
Although the leading female soldier was tightly wrapped, Dong Shuheng could still identify who it was from her eyes.
It was the little girl Juan'er who always loved to go against him. This girl almost followed him to serve him.
At first, he was worried that Lu Feiyan would have no one to take care of her outside, so he returned Ju'er back.
Dong Shuheng held the rein in one hand and waved to Juan'er with the other hand.
Dong Shuheng had already pulled down his mask just now, otherwise, Juaner might not be able to recognize him.
"Little girl Juan'er, long time no see." Dong Shuheng said with a smile.
"I have met the president. His subordinate is Sun Hongling, the female battalion commander of the Taihang Column. Please call me Battalion Commander Sun." Juan'er said angrily.
Well, this girl's temperament hasn't changed yet.
"Oh, Battalion Commander Sun, thank you for your hard work. Lead the way. I want to see you, Commander Lu."
"Report to the President that our Commander Lu is inconvenienced. Please ask the President to allow his subordinates to come and report." The girl's last words were polite, but the provocative meaning could not be more obvious.
This was because he wanted Dong Shuheng to ruin Lu Feiyan’s surprise.
You are probably the most arrogant battalion commander in the Huai Navy.
Stupid little girl movie.
"Pan Qiliang!" Dong Shuheng shouted to the back.
"Here, President, I'm here." Pan Qiliang hurried over on horseback.
I just saw a female soldier talking to the president.
Pan Qiliang was too embarrassed to come closer.
This stick is still a baby chicken.
"This is Camp Commander Sun. She will take you to camp. All camping matters will be subject to Commander Sun's arrangements."
"Yes, President." Pan Qiliang agreed with a loud voice, which made Juan'er's ears ring. Juan'er glanced at the strong man, frowned, and sympathized with his horse.
"Captain Sun, you go arrange the camp for the guard regiment. Go now."
Only then did Juaner realize that Dong Shuheng was trying to get rid of him.
However, there was someone nearby, so this girl still knew the importance and did not dare to disobey the military order.
The stupid and arrogant Battalion Commander Sun was kidnapped by the tall and round Commander Pan. The large troops of the Guard Corps also followed to garrison.
Dong Shuheng and his inner guards headed towards the town under the guidance of Xu Yue.
Lu Feiyan was standing in front of the window and had already seen Dong Shuheng riding into the town.
Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands. A mist rose in her eyes. Excitement and joy filled her chest, and it seemed that they were about to pour out of her eyes.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Dong Shuheng jumped off his horse with one foot in the stirrup.
He pulled the coat with his hand, shaking off the snowflakes on it.
It wasn't snowing outside. The snowflakes on his body were snow blown down from the mountain by the mountain wind.
The gate of the courtyard was opened by the guards. They already knew that the president was coming. Dong Shuheng walked into the small courtyard.
This is a simple courtyard with several row houses.
Opposite the gate is a two-story small villa. The villa is square, unique in shape, and very modern. The room on the second floor has glass windows facing the direction of the gate.
A woman stood in front of the window, looking at her blankly. It was Lu Feiyan whom she had not seen for a year.
She has picturesque eyebrows, no makeup, and her long hair is tied into a round bun on her head. She is wearing a pale pink dress and a brocaded cape trimmed with mink fur.
He seems a little plumper than before.
Dong Shuheng stopped and gave the beauty in the window a gentle smile.
At this time, Lu Feiyan was also looking at Dong Shuheng, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Dong Shuheng in the yard is still the same, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and strong cheeks, showing the beauty of a masculine and handsome man.
The wind was biting outside, and Dong Shuheng had just taken off his mask. At this time, his face was slightly red from the cold.
Only then did Lu Feiyan realize what she was doing, and she blamed herself for being so forgetful, causing Shu Heng to freeze outside for a while longer.
Seeing Lu Feiyan turn around and go downstairs, Dong Shuheng also quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
A warm current surged in, as if it was about to melt Dong Shuheng's pores.
He unbuttoned his military coat and took off his hat.
The moment he raised his head, he happened to see Lu Feiyan coming downstairs. The house was carpeted, and Lu Feiyan was only wearing socks. Even if she ran downstairs, she made no sound at all.
Dong Shuheng still looked at her with a smile, but Lu Feiyan could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.
Dong Shuheng hung his coat and hat at the door and opened his arms.
Lu Feiyan flew into Dong Shuheng's arms like a swallow.
The two conveyed their longing for each other through their close bodies.
I had prepared lines for the whole journey, but at this moment I couldn't say a word.
Dong Shuheng clearly felt the warmth coming from Lu Feiyan.
Suddenly I realized that my body was too cold.
In this cold winter, riding a horse against the wind in the mountains, even if you are wearing a military coat lined with down, your body will be freezing.
At this time, Dong Shuheng could only warm up by taking a hot bath.
"Feiyan, I've made you suffer, let's go up." Dong Shuheng supported Lu Feiyan and separated from her body.
Then, Dong Shuheng held up her cheeks, and her original oval face became rounder, making her look softer and softer in the palm of his hand.
Seeing that Lu Feiyan did not move, Dong Shuheng said again: "My body is too cold. It will be bad if the cold air passes through your body. You must be careful in everything during confinement."
Dong Shuheng's words were ordinary, but Lu Feiyan felt deep concern and love.
"I'll let someone release the water. Shuheng, you go take a hot bath first." Lu Feiyan said in a low voice.
Until now, Dong Shuheng has not rushed to ask Xiaobao, which makes Lu Feiyan's heart warmer.
He came to see me, not just for the children.
Lu Feiyan thought in her heart.
If Dong Shuheng had to see his children as soon as he walked in, Lu Feiyan would feel disappointed.
Immediately I felt that I was jealous of my own children.
"Shuheng, go up and see Xiaobao!"
Dong Shuheng then remembered that he had a son.
He quickly changed his shoes and went upstairs with Lu Feiyan.
The child was placed in the back room and was watched 24 hours a day.
Lu Feiyan asked her mother-in-law to take the child out.
The woman was originally invited by Dong Shuheng, so she naturally knew Dong Shuheng. She wanted to salute immediately, but she held the child in her arms and didn't know what she was doing.
Dong Shuheng seemed to notice it and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom Liu."
The old woman said sheepishly: "The president is very polite. This is what an old woman should do."
The mother-in-law and wet nurse are all members of Huai Haijun, and they all have family members working in Huai Hai Hai.
To take care of children, you must find the most loyal and reliable person. When it comes to his own family, Dong Shuheng seems to be very suspicious.
Newly born children who are not yet one month old all look ugly, and it is hard to tell who they look like between their facial features.
Dong Shuheng teased the child briefly, but he still couldn't laugh, but luckily he didn't make the child cry.
"Shu Heng, the child has never been named."
After hearing Lu Feiyan's reminder, Dong Shuheng finally remembered that in this era, children's names must be chosen by their fathers.
"Let's call him Dong Hua, and his nickname is Hua'er."
After Dong Shuheng thought about his son, he named him in the order of the four words "Chinese Renaissance".
If the number exceeds, find another sentence.
Anyway, the idea of encouraging more children was proposed by himself, and Dong Shuheng must take the lead in implementing it.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Feiyan's beautiful face.
The mother-in-law took the child back to the nursery.
Lu Feiyan took Dong Shuheng to the bathroom.
"Shu Heng, the water is ready, you can take a bath!"
"Yeah." Dong Shuheng agreed and began to take off his clothes.
Seeing Lu Feiyan preparing to go out, Dong Shuheng hurriedly called out: "Feiyan, you stay here, let's talk for a while."
Dong Shuheng seriously wanted to talk to Lu Feiyan for a while.
Dong Shuheng was not a child. He knew that it was best not to have sex when a woman had just given birth.
"Well, let me help you."
Lu Feiyan helped Dong Shuheng take off his clothes.
Lying in the comfortable hot water, the fatigue accumulated along the way suddenly rushed to my brain.
Dong Shuheng rested his head comfortably on the edge of the barrel.
Lu Feiyan picked up a dry towel and put it under the back of his head.
Dong Shuheng felt a pair of catkins pressing on his temples, pressing them gently with his fingers.
Dong Shuheng felt that his fatigue was being released from his brain bit by bit.
"Feiyan, you should change your name to husband. If you take my phoenix crown, you will be my woman. Besides, you have Hua'er now."
"Yeah." Lu Feiyan responded in a low voice.
"When the weather gets warmer, move back to Jiangning! You will have a yard at home."
"But husband, if I leave, what will happen to our Taihang Column? I want to help you watch from here." To be honest, Lu Feiyan didn't want to move to a big house.
She has a natural fear of mansion doors.
"We will complete the annihilation of the Qing Dynasty before next autumn. By then the Taihang column will attack across the board, and there will be no need for people to watch here."
"So fast!" Lu Feiyan said in shock.
"Time waits for no one. Next year is the best time. We are stepping up preparations now."
"The Taihang Column should also seize the time to prepare for military expansion. The current strength is still too low for a full-scale attack."
"This winter, we will mobilize some troops from the rear to station in Taihang. The expansion of the army cannot be completed with the strength here alone."
"How many troops are you planning to expand to the Taihang Column?" Lu Feiyan asked anxiously.
"Two divisions, we must put at least two divisions here. When the time comes, one division will enter Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the other division will attack Zhili and the capital together with the two divisions from Shandong."
"Did so many troops be used?" Lu Feiyan wondered. With the strength of the Huai Navy, one division was enough to capture the capital.
"Of course we won't need so many troops to capture Zhili Capital, but we still have to leave troops to garrison there." Dong Shuheng explained.
The two of them talked about business in the bathroom for a while, talked about their children for a while, and talked about the situation in the Taihang Mountains for a while.
ps: I didn’t think anything of it at first, but after reading more maps, I feel more and more that the location of the Taihang Mountains is really important. A reader has already listened to my suggestion and gave his monthly vote to this book. He is really a smart and smart reader.
