After coming out of Zhang Juren's house, Yuan Su led the team to leave Anshan Town. After the previous section, everyone was silent. Captain Wang and his confidants were still sulking at Lin Boxhen, and Lin Boxhen was riding on a military horse, black and white.
With a face, there was also anger hidden in his heart. Only Yuan Su, who was leading the team in front, was still the same as before, looking listless and drowsy.
Team Wang didn't have much trouble along the way. Although he handed back the music box, he took away more than just the music box. Fortunately, the other treasures were there, and he finally got something. To say that he was just depressed was just that.
Just now, Lin Boxhen made him lose face in front of everyone, but then again, a soldier like him doesn't have much face to begin with. What's more, even if Lin Boxhen is just a trainee officer, he is still an officer. He is a small team officer and cannot be compared with his superior.
Competition.
In this way, everyone was speechless all the way and hurried back lifelessly. It was already evening when they returned to Luanzhou City, and everyone didn't bother to have lunch. By this time, they were already hungry.
The Seventy-nine Biao Biao Department had arranged for people to wait at the city gate early. Seeing Yuan Su and his party returning smoothly, they hurried forward to greet them and took them to the Biao Department compound next to Luanzhou Railway Station. Biao Tong
Yue Zhaolin asked his adjutant to come out and say a few words of condolence, and then handed over the collected materials.
Wang Duizheng was quite familiar with the officers of Biaobu, and he explained what happened in a nonchalant manner, and then shouted for a meal. Not long after, a lieutenant took Wang Duizheng and other soldiers to the cooking class in Biaobu compound to have dinner.
Yuan Su and Lin Boxen did not go with these people. They were officers of the Biao Department after all, and they usually ate in the exclusive officers' mess.
After going to the logistics office to hand over the war horses, Yuan Su and Lin Boxen walked towards the west courtyard of Biaobu.
At first, Lin Boxen just puffed up his face and kept silent, but after walking a few steps, he finally couldn't help complaining: "No, I can't swallow this breath. How can the soldiers talk about protecting the country if they don't even have any defense?"
?I will go to see Biao Tong now and report that guy named Wang."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the front yard.
Yuan Su on the side sighed, stopped Lin Boshen and said: "Renqing, why are you still so impulsive?"
Lin Boshen said angrily: "Am I impulsive? The man named Wang stole things from other people's houses. This ruined the reputation of our new army. He also disrespected his superiors and committed crimes. If this continues, there will be no discipline in the army and no justice in the team.
So what’s the difference between us and rogue bandits?”
Yuan Su put on a serious face and said very seriously: "Ren Qing, we are always outsiders here. These foreign soldiers have always been violent, what can you and I do? Sometimes, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, we always
We need to make some concessions. We soldiers should not only value military qualities, but also have some political acumen. Otherwise, why would there be the term 'military politics'?"
Lin Boshen looked at Yuan Su with confusion and asked: "Zi Jing, I talked about military discipline, why did you talk about politics?"
Yuan Su pretended to be serious and shook his head, and said in a profound tone: "Team Wang is so bold, do you really think you are just bullying us as outsiders? Why don't you think about how this collection of military resources to protect the border is so...
For such an important matter, why did Biao Tong choose someone from Captain Wang to follow us? It was easy to agree, because Captain Wang is Biao Tong's confidant, and it was precisely because of Biao Tong's support that Captain Wang was so domineering.
"
Lin Boxhen was about to say something, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up and stopped talking.
Yuan Su sighed again and said seriously: "As long as there is a relationship of interest, there is politics. The military is inherently a complex place with intricate relationships and unpredictable people. If you don't even have a little political acumen, what do you think?
Do you need to understand the situation at hand?"
After being silent for a long time, Lin Boxen finally couldn't help but said: "But, Yue Biaotong clearly promised to support the revolution, how could he allow his subordinates to do whatever they want? According to you, all the military funds collected this time will also be used to enrich his own pockets?"
Yuan Su was not in a good mood at this time. He just thought it was venting and said: "What does this mean? At the beginning, Zhang Tongzhi also said he wanted revolution, but in the end it was just a military remonstrance that ended in an anticlimax. Renqing, think carefully.
I think, if Yue Biaotong is really for the revolution, why doesn’t he just send the white team to go ahead with the collection of military resources this time?”
Hearing this, Lin Boxhen's face suddenly became uncertain: Yes, Bai Yayu was the direct planner of this uprising, and he was also the team officer of the Seventy-nine Biao. He was also a team officer, and Yue Biaotong only sent
What does it mean to have cronies who don’t send revolutionaries?
In fact, he already knew the answer very well in his heart. Yuan Su's words were not wrong. These people had no revolutionary thoughts at all.
After calming down, Yuan Su said earnestly: "Renqing, it's not that I am against you, it's just that the situation in Luanzhou is over. Whether it's the standard-bearers in Twenty Towns or the revolutionary party, they always treat us as outsiders in their eyes.
From a personal perspective, we cannot guess what each of them is thinking, and there is nothing we can do to intervene in it.”
Lin Boshen clenched his fists and said with difficulty: "If this is really the case, wouldn't we have been working in vain these days?"
Yuan Su reached out and patted Lin Boxhen's shoulder, and sighed: "Listen to me, since we are outsiders, we should not interfere in the affairs here, as long as we can do our part."
After he finished speaking, he did not intend to continue discussing this issue and took the lead to walk to the west courtyard.
Lin Boxhen was in a daze for a while, and then followed him with heavy steps.
After dinner in the officers' mess, Yuan Su and Lin Boxen returned to their dormitories to rest. That night, Yuan Su had made up his mind that he would never get involved in the Luanzhou Uprising that was about to happen soon, not only because he knew that this uprising was
It ended in failure and was even more disappointed with the self-righteous revolutionary party and the conservative bureaucrats who followed suit.
After washing up and going to bed, he suddenly thought of the girl he met at Zhang Juren's house in Anshan Town today. He never expected to meet the daughter of Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Zhili, here, let alone Zhang Hanling, a stunning beauty.
.
Early the next morning, after Yuan Su woke up, he went to the military hospital to get some boiled medicine and took it before going to the officers' mess for dinner.
Today's era is not like the 21st century. There are only two meals a day in the army. Of course, Yuan Su was injured, so he could eat one more meal. When he walked into the officers' canteen, the cook had already prepared one.
The only breakfast was a steamed bun, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles. I sat in the empty canteen and prepared to eat this hard-earned extra meal.
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked towards the door and shouted into the cafeteria: "Master Yuan?"
Yuan Su turned around and saw standing outside the door was the adjutant of Biaotong Yue Zhaolin. He stood up and asked: "Master Chen, do you have anything serious to do so early?"
Adjutant Chen smiled, walked into the cafeteria, came to Wu Shaoting, and said, "I'm just looking for you, Mr. Yuan! Mr. Biaotong wants to see Mr. Yuan, so he asked me to bring you a message. I just went to the inner courtyard dormitory.
I didn't find Mr. Yuan while I was there, so I came here and I really met him."
Yuan Su couldn't help but wonder and asked: "Master Biaotong is so anxious to find me so early, why don't you know why?"
Adjutant Chen said: "I don't know about that. I just know that the Biao Department received a letter this morning. It was only after reading the letter that the Biao Department was anxious to find you, Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Su was slightly startled. His first thought was to guess whether this letter was related to yesterday's trip to Anshan Town. He might have offended Zhang Zhenfang's daughter and was held accountable by Zhang Zhenfang. But then he thought again,
Although there were telegraphs in this era, telegraphs were also delayed. How could something that happened yesterday be reflected today?
"Oh," he nodded quietly and said, "It's really helpful for Mr. Chen to come here to inform me. If you're not in a hurry, I'll rush over immediately after breakfast."
"There's no rush, I'm just here to inform you. Since Mr. Yuan knows, I won't bother you further and will leave first."
After Adjutant Chen left, Yuan Su sat down again and casually finished the steamed buns with the hot porridge with some suspicion.
After leaving the officers' mess, he didn't hesitate and went straight to the standard prison cell in the front yard. He certainly wouldn't worry about what happened yesterday. If the pain basket came, Yue Zhaolin wouldn't even think about running away. After all, he was
As an outsider, it is not easy for someone to take the blame.
Arriving at the corridor outside the custody room, Yuan Su met Yue Zhaolin in the custody room after a brief briefing.
Yue Zhaolin is in his early thirties. He is not from outside the Guan. After joining the New Army, he was assigned to the 20th Town and is stationed outside the Guan. Generally speaking, he is still very polite to Yuan Su and Lin Boxhen. After all, they are
Students who come from higher education institutions will definitely achieve great things after graduation. In addition, the new army is all in the same system, so there is no need to make trouble.
When he met Yuan Su today, Yue Zhaolin was still very polite and stood up from behind his desk and said enthusiastically in an accent with Hunan dialect: "Zi Jing, is your injury better?"
When Yuan Su saw Yue Zhaolin's attitude, he felt more relieved. He said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Biaotong, for your concern. It's no big deal to me."
Yue Zhaolin nodded and said with a smile: "That's great. No matter what, your health is the key."
Yuan Su asked: "I wonder what Mr. Biaotong wants to do with me?"
Yue Zhaolin subconsciously glanced at the people outside the custody room. Several officers outside the room wisely exited the room and closed the door behind them.
[Thank you all for your support. I can change my status today. I hope you can support me and support your appearance. I bow and thank you! 】
