When they heard the noise in the Biaobu compound, seven or eight more soldiers rushed over. Although they didn't understand what happened, they saw other comrades raising their rifles and subconsciously felt that the situation was serious.
.
However, most of the police soldiers standing outside the door were wounded, and no one took up arms, so the 78-year-old soldiers did not dare to shoot indiscriminately. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and they only exchanged fierce words.
Conflicting.
The commotion became louder and louder. The soldiers who were resting on the street outside were soon woken up. They stood up and looked over. Especially those soldiers from the old army. Their treatment was far inferior to that of the new army, so they had always been in their hearts.
It was very targeted at the New Army. Now that they saw the New Army having internal strife, many people immediately fanned the flames and shouted, and some people laughed loudly and unscrupulously.
In just a few minutes, the entire street from the headquarters to the train station was in a state of excitement. Regardless of whether it was an insider or an uninformed person, once someone made a fuss, someone would follow suit, immediately causing a series of reactions.
Just as the commotion intensified, a cavalry team suddenly ran up the east street. The crowd blocking the street quickly made a way for the team to pass. Every time the cavalry team passed by, the place immediately became quiet.
Come down. Not long after, the old army soldiers fell silent and sat down again one after another. Everything seemed to go back in time, returning to the state before the restlessness in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Su turned around and saw that this cavalry team looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, he immediately discovered that the person leading the team was Wang Huaiqing, the commander-in-chief of Tongyong Town.
Not long after, Wang Huaiqing and his people arrived at the gate of the Biaobu compound. He first saw a group of soldiers holding rifles inside the gate, and immediately asked in a serious voice: "What's going on? What are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yuan Su standing aside. He was slightly startled and then turned over and fell off his horse.
At this time, the military academy standing inside the door hurriedly pointed at Yuan Su and said: "Master Wang, he is a revolutionary party, he wants to force his way in!"
After landing, Wang Huaiqing patted the folds of his robe in a leisurely manner, and asked with a strange smile: "What do you think he is?"
The military academy did not notice the change in Wang Huaiqing's tone and added: "He is a revolutionary party..."
Wang Huaiqing's face instantly turned angry, and he scolded: "You are blind. I just joined forces with Mr. Yuan to capture the rebel leader Bai Yayu in Nancheng last night. How dare you now slander Mr. Yuan as a revolutionary party? Humph, I
It’s obvious that you committed the crime first, and then you tried to use violence after you couldn’t explain it, right?”
A cold sweat broke out on the back of the military academy, and he hesitated and tried to defend himself: "Wang, Mr. Wang, he, he just clearly..."
Wang Huaiqing interrupted: "Shut up, I've seen a lot of idiots like you. You think you can fly up a branch and become a phoenix when you become the leader by relying on your boss. Mr. Yuan is upright and loyal to your duties. You must be
You are sincerely making things difficult! Go and call your Commander Pan, and I will personally go and reason with you Commander Pan."
Military Academy Yu cried without tears. He never expected that he would meet such a person with such a background, and was stunned for a moment at a loss.
Wang Huaiqing turned to Yuan Su again and said in an old-fashioned way: "Master Yuan, don't worry too much, I will definitely uphold justice for you. If these blind slaves don't do politics well, they will really rebel against heaven."
Although Yuan Su knew very well that Wang Huaiqing was a man who acted according to the prevailing circumstances, he would never have spoken out to protect him if it were not for his relationship with Yuan Shikai. However, after all, the other party was helping him, so he still gave him a hand. He said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wang. I just wanted to let the wounded in for treatment. Unexpectedly, this guy refused to let me in because there were too many people. He also contradicted me as a lower-ranking official. It's really hateful."
Wang Huaiqing snorted and said: "Master Yuan, you don't need to pay attention to these cunning minions. You can follow me in and see Pan Tongzhi directly." After he finished speaking, he shouted to the military academy, "Stand still." What are you doing, step aside for me."
Although the military academy was furious, Wang Huaiqing was a senior official at the same level as the commander. Even if the new army and the old army were two separate systems, there were currently thousands of soldiers in the patrol camp in Luanzhou City, not to mention that he did not dare to offend. , I'm afraid even Pan Zongzhi had to be polite. Immediately, he couldn't say a word, he just waved his hand to let the soldiers blocking the door go.
Yuan Su followed Wang Huaiqing into the Biaobu compound. Sun Lianzhong also walked in with all the wounded at the right time. At this time, the Biaobu compound was completely different from what it was before Yuan Su came out. The ground was covered with blood stains and Bullet casings and blackened bullet holes can be seen everywhere on the walls, and thick smoke and flames are still rising from several barracks.
Yuan Su asked Sun Lianzhong to take the wounded to the military medical office for resettlement. At the same time, he also asked Sun Lianzhong to inquire about Lin Boxen and Zhao Shanhe. He hoped that when the rebel army attacked Biaobu last night, they were not so fanatical as to launch a massacre. At least Lin Boxen He is also a person who is full of enthusiasm for revolution, and he should never die at the hands of his own people.
Sun Lianzhong had just left with the wounded, and Yuan Su and Wang Huaiqing were about to head to the barracks in the north when a group of people suddenly walked towards them. At the head were several New Army officers wearing high-level military uniforms, followed by a group of guards with guns and live ammunition. Someone had already reported the commotion that occurred at the door. Obviously, these officers and guards came to deal with the commotion.
A senior officer of the New Army who was walking at the front saw Wang Huaiqing, his face changed for a while, and then he slowed down and came over. This man was not tall, about thirty years old, with a slightly fat body and a full body. The military uniforms were very brand new, as if they had just been distributed to Pan Juying, the commander of Twenty Towns who had just taken office.
"Sir Wang, I just heard from the report that the brothers from the patrol camp seem to be making a fuss outside. I don't know what is going on?" After meeting, Pan Juying asked Wang Huaiqing with a sullen face.
"Humph, my patrol camp is making noise? Mr. Pan is really easy to handle. Your people stopped Mr. Yuan from arranging the wounded, so there was a verbal dispute. Everyone under my command can't bear to see your men bullying others. Why don't you let me sigh a few times? "?" The other party asked as soon as they met. Naturally, Wang Huaiqing felt unhappy and immediately made up a few words to block the words.
Pan Juying's eyebrows moved, and he looked at Yuan Su gloomily. He recognized that the other party was from the 79th Biao, and immediately showed a look of disdain: The 79th Biao rebelled and caused trouble last night, and now he dares to stir up trouble. How audacious!
But when he thought about it more carefully, he felt that something was not right. With Wang Huaiqing's greedy and mediocre character, how could the other party favor a mid-level officer? Is he really going to go against him because of this mid-level officer?
He put the matter aside for the time being. Anyway, there were more important tasks at hand to deal with. He sighed deeply and moderated his tone and said, "Mr. Wang, since this is a small misunderstanding, let him go.
, the top priority is to deal with the aftermath of Luanzhou. Now that Mr. Wang is here, let’s move to the barracks, sit down and talk slowly.”
The thing that Wang Huaiqing has always been thinking about is the distribution of credits. He has given Yuan Su enough face that he does not need to continue to delve into such trivial matters, so he pretends to be solemn and says: "Master Pan is right. I will leave this matter to you.
The overall situation is the most important thing.”
Everyone stopped mentioning the fluctuation just now and walked quietly to the north barracks.
Yuan Su had long expected that Wang Huaiqing was just showing up, and he had no hope of pursuing the matter from beginning to end. Immediately, he didn't say anything more and just followed these senior bureaucrats.
After everyone left, the military academy who had argued with Yuan Su before still looked unconvinced and cursed in his mouth: "What the hell."
At this time, an officer from the patrol battalion following Wang Huaiqing passed by while holding a horse. He glanced at the military academy with a sneer and said, "You are really asking for trouble. Do you know who Mr. Yuan is?"
The military academy looked puzzled and asked indifferently: "What's the origin? Could it be that you, Mr. Wang, are relatives?"
The officer of the patrol battalion sneered and said: "If our master is his relative, he will really benefit from it. Let me tell you, that Master Yuan is Yuan Gongbao's nephew."
After hearing these words, the seventy-eight officers around them all looked surprised and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
The military academy was stunned for a long time and said in a daze: "What? Yuan, Yuan Gongbao's nephew?"
The patrol battalion officer raised his lips in disdain and led his horse to catch up with Wang Huaiqing.
