Only then did Yuan Su realize that the person who betrayed the Revolutionary Party turned out to be Zhang Jiangong. Although he had previously ruled out the possibility of Yue Zhaolin tipping off the information, he never thought it would be Zhang Jiangong. It seems that Zhang Jiangong not only betrayed the Revolution
, and also betrayed Yue Zhaolin. No wonder the other party didn't show any sadness when they met in the corridor just now.
He turned around and glanced at Chen Wennian, only to see Chen Wennian staring at Zhang Jiangong on the other side with a stunned look on his face. It was obvious that the other party had just found out about this. He couldn't help but worry, since Zhang Jiangong could betray Yue Zhaolin, then
Will he betray himself and Chen Wennian as well?
Although strictly speaking, he did not participate in the uprising and was even assassinated by the revolutionary party, but thinking of a despicable villain like Zhang Jiangong, he might have spread rumors in front of Pan Juying just to gain credit. Otherwise, why would Pan Juying's tone just now be like this?
against!
Not only that, he was also wondering why Zhang Jiangong chose to betray the revolution on the day of the uprising.
It took more than half a month for Bai Yayu and others to plan the operation. The other party could clearly tell the news before the uprising, which would also save the risk of a military confrontation. If it was just a temporary change, it would be nothing, but if the other party was the master from the beginning to the end
If he deliberately designed it to gain greater credit, or to use this incident to force Yue Zhaolin to step down, then this person is really terrible.
At this time, Pan Juying went on to say: "Yue Zhaolin first participated in planning the rebellion, and then ordered the suppression of the rebellious party when the situation was not good. Then he angered the rebels and was killed. This is his own fault. I hope everyone here will take this as his own fault.
Be careful, don’t make the same mistake again, you must know that the Revolutionary Party will not show mercy to you.”
Hearing this, Yuan Su felt a little relieved. It seemed that Pan Juying did not intend to hold the other officers of the Seventy-nine Biao responsible. Presumably, if Zhang Jiangong really talked nonsense, they could also expose Zhang Jiangong's failure to report the knowledge before the uprising.
In short, everyone understands it tacitly, and there is no need to do anything too extreme.
After the meeting, several senior military officers explained the arrangements for the aftermath of Luanzhou City, but there were disputes over some details. Although everyone agreed that other troops should be dispatched to Luanzhou to assist in the aftermath and defense, the final decision was not
There were different opinions on which army was involved. Both the 78th and 80th troops wanted to take the opportunity to expand their defense areas. The former had the support of the general town, while the latter had the support of Fan Guozhang, the commander of the Forty Associations.
Even though Pan Juying is now the commander of the Twenty Towns, Fan Guozhang, the commander of the Forty Associations, has never regarded Pan Juying as his superior. During the Luanzhou military remonstrance, both of them were die-hard officers who opposed Zhang Shaozeng, but later because Pan Juying made the first move
A telegram was sent to the capital to report the situation in Luanzhou, so he was temporarily promoted to commander by the Qing government.
Fan Guozhang has always been worried about this. In terms of military strength and background, he is the same as Pan Juying. He is even higher than Pan Juying in terms of qualifications. Why should he let the other party be the commander?
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. Wang Huaiqing looked at it with a secret smile for a long time, and then calmly stepped forward to smooth things over. Regarding the dispatch of additional troops to Luanzhou for defense, they were put on hold for the time being.
It was precisely because of this episode that the atmosphere at the venue became unpleasant.
Pan Juying simply skipped all the tedious links and directly began to discuss the achievements of quelling the rebellion. He listed the performance of all the troops present in last night's operation one by one. Almost everyone had a share, and it was no longer important what the actual situation was.
, as long as everyone has a sweet spot, then this is the actual situation.
At this time, Yuan Su noticed something. When Pan Juying thought about the arrest of the party leader Bai Yayu, he did not say that it was the patrol battalion and the police force who worked together, but directly attributed it to the patrol battalion. He also said that it was the patrol battalion who went into the city and rounded up with all their strength.
Captured. He subconsciously glanced at Wang Huaiqing, who just squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was wandering in space.
This guy really said one thing and did another. There is no greater hypocrite than this! He secretly sneered in his heart, but he did not stand up to correct the truth. This kind of fighting for credit and lying about credit has long been controlled by the top management.
If you ask for trouble in the game, you will gain nothing except offending the group of people in front of you.
However, Pan Juying also listed Yuan Su's contribution, saying that he "kept calm in the face of danger, defended Nancheng, successfully delayed the rebels from entering the city, and bought crucial time for the patrol battalion to rush for reinforcements." This statement is obviously an exaggeration. If Yuan Su
If Suzhen could successfully prevent the rebels from entering the city, how could the Seventy-nine Biaobiao Division end up in such a tragic ending? He didn't know if Pan Juying was deliberately taking care of him, or if Wang Huaiqing had some ulterior motives in his heart, so he said a few nice words to Pan Juying.
At present, the latter seems more likely.
Not only that, but what’s even more funny is that when mentioning the killing of another rebel leader Wang Jinming, Pan Juying even believed that the 78th Biao, the 80th Biao and the patrol battalion all contributed: the patrol battalion was the first to discover Wang Jinming, and the 78th Biao
Then it surrounded the target from the side, and finally the target was shot and killed by 80 soldiers.
It was not difficult for Yuan Su to guess that everyone had obviously been arguing about this matter before, and they refused to give in, so he had to give credit to all three parties. He felt indifferent in his heart: People's hearts in this era are indeed not simple at all. From now on, everyone will
You have to be careful every step you take, otherwise you won't know how you will die.
After the meeting ended, Pan Juying asked others to leave first, leaving only Chen Wenian, Zhang Jiangong and Yuan Su behind.
Although the aftermath of the 79th Biao was explained in the meeting before, the 79th Biao suffered the trauma last night and must face some reorganization. Naturally, the details of this aspect need to be dealt with by the existing officers of the 79th Biao.
Discuss.
Pan Juying sat in his previous position, stretched out his hand and waved to Chen Wenian, gesturing for the three of them to come forward.
"The dirty talk is ahead. This is a very troublesome matter. You seventy-nine bidders actually caused such a big mess. You don't need to explain anything. I'm not a fool. You all knew about it before it happened and didn't report it. That's all.
It's enough to label you as an accessory to the rebellious party." When Chen Wennian, Yuan Su, and Zhang Jiangong came up to them, Pan Juying said with a stern look on his face and a low tone.
Zhang Jiangong was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but after looking at Chen Wenian and Yuan Su on the side, he finally stopped.
"I don't hold you accountable. It's not because I'm conniving. You Seventy-nine Biao are my old subordinates after all. If you can take care of me, you should take care of me. Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The world of Qing Dynasty has not been well for a few days.
Today is the day, and the clamor for du li in various provinces is becoming more and more fierce. It depends on what Yuan Gongbao means." After a brief pause, Pan Juying changed the topic and said calmly.
"Thank you, Lord Commander, for your kindness. I will definitely repay you with gratitude." Zhang Jiangong flattered hurriedly.
However, Chen Wenian and Yuan Su remained silent. The former had a complex expression, while the latter was extremely calm.
When Pan Juying mentioned "Yuan Gongbao" in his last sentence, he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Su, his eyes revealing a bit of suspicion, but he quickly looked away.
"I won't say much else. I will not let the number 79 be shaken. Therefore, the top priority is to reorganize the number 79. The battle last night was truly heinous. The rebel soldiers were almost massacred with blood.
Biaobu, there are more than 20 officers who have been killed since Yue Zhaolin and below, and you are the only main officers left now. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I want to promote someone to act as Biaotong as soon as possible." Pan Juying leaned back as he spoke.
After a moment, he put on a calm posture.
When Zhang Jiangong heard this, he immediately bowed slightly, with a flattering expression on his face, like a slave.
Yuan Su knew very well that although Zhang Jiangong's pretentious manner was annoying, after last night's uprising, Pan Juying would not value personal character now, but would rather see whether this person is obedient. Even if Zhang Jiangong is an out-and-out person,
He is a villain, but the other party not only betrays the revolution, but also has a "slave" attitude. More importantly, he also has an entire battalion of troops in his hands. From political to personal to objective conditions, he can be said to be an agent.
The perfect choice for the government.
Considering this, Yuan Su did not wait for Pan Juying to speak and said first: "Sir, I think that the position of Acting Biaoyi should be held by Mr. Zhang. Now that the Seventy-nine Biaos have suffered such a catastrophe, and there is a lot of chaos in all the battalions under his jurisdiction, it should be
An experienced officer should be in charge of the overall situation, and Mr. Zhang has led troops for many years and has made great achievements in quelling chaos, so he is the perfect choice."
After he said these words, everyone present showed varying degrees of astonishment.
No one expected that Yuan Su would take the initiative to recommend Zhang Jiangong as the leader. Even Zhang Jiangong himself was stunned.
Pan Juying thought silently for a moment, and then said quietly: "You are right, the current situation must require an experienced officer to take charge of the overall situation, and Zhang Guandai is indeed the best candidate. In this case, then
For the time being, Zhang Guan will be the acting Biaotong, and later I will transfer officers from other troops to supplement the Seventy-nine Biaotong Department."
Zhang Jiangong looked happy and said hurriedly without being modest at all: "Thank you for your cultivation, Lord Control. I will certainly live up to Lord Control's expectations and do my best to manage the seventy-nine standard." He spoke in a tone as if he had jumped.
Using the word "agency" directly becomes "biaotong".
Although Pan Juying was very dissatisfied with Zhang Jiangong, he could only make do with it for now.
After a pause, Zhang Jiangong continued: "Sir, Staff Officer Yuan was originally a trainee officer assigned to our department by the Army Preparatory College. Although it is not clear when the Army Preparatory College will be recalled, the Department is currently in urgent need of manpower.
Your Majesty, please grant permission to appoint Staff Officer Yuan as a full-time official to assist in handling the military affairs of the Biao Department."
On the surface, these words sounded very much like Zhang Jiangong returning a favor to Yuan Su, hoping that Yuan Su would be converted from a trainee status to a full-time officer, but the other party wanted to emphasize the words "Army Preparatory College Recall" in front of these words.
It was obviously a deliberate attempt to emphasize Yuan Su's status as a cadet officer.
Yuan Su knew this very well. If Zhang Jiangong really wanted to help him, he could have spoken more carefully. He couldn't help but despise Zhang Jiangong even more. It seemed that he must be careful in dealing with this person in the future.
