The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a busy day for Yuan Su, so much so that he didn’t even have time to go to the supervisor’s office in the morning to lead the team for a morning run. The last day of the festival originally meant that everything should be back on track, but it was precisely because everything was back on track.
On the right track, many things that had been delayed before suddenly came to light.
Although it is also a traditional festival, Yuan Su has no plans to let the soldiers celebrate the Lantern Festival. In his opinion, the festival can be regarded as respecting tradition, while other energy-saving provinces are spared.
After washing up in the morning, he pushed out the door and was about to go to the logistics office to pick up the horses and head to the supervisor's office. Du Yu trotted towards him and delivered a telegram he had just received to Yuan Su. Marked on the eve of the Spring Festival
The Ministry was finally equipped with a new set of communication equipment, which finally solved the two-month-long communication obstacle.
At this time, the sky was misty and bright, and even the frost and fog had not dissipated. It was obvious that this telegram was definitely not sent immediately. It was most likely sent last night, but was delayed until now because of the line interruption. This telegram was definitely not sent immediately.
At that time, the post office was not open for business yet. Who would be energetic enough to send a telegram so early?
Yuan Su first took a look at the cover of the telegram. There were some crooked words written on it. He couldn't help laughing and asked Du Yu who was standing in front of him: "Did you write the words above?"
Du Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a laugh: "Yes, it was written by the humble official. It was originally written by Mr. Li from the Communications Department. However, the humble official wanted to use more spare time to consolidate what he had learned, so he asked Mr. Li to write it.
I leave it to a humble person to write it. If it is not well written, please forgive me, Mr. Yuan."
The smile on Yuan Su's face showed relief. He nodded and said: "The handwriting is not good, but it is very good that you have such self-motivation. It doesn't matter. If you write more and practice more in the future, you will definitely be able to write like He Kezhi.
Good words."
After he finished speaking, he carefully read the sloppy words on the cover, and he could see that the telegram was sent from Baoding, and the time of dispatch was indeed seven o'clock yesterday evening.
Before reading the text of the telegram, he hoped that this telegram was sent to him by Zhang Hanling. No matter in every aspect, Zhang Hanling's telegram was better than any telegram sent from Baoding. But after opening the telegram and reading it again
After that, the smile on his face gradually weakened, and he even frowned slightly.
Du Yu saw the obvious change in Yuan Su's face and cautiously asked: "Master Yuan, what happened?"
This telegram is a notice from the Army Preparatory College. In late February, the Army Preparatory College officially received Yuan Shikai's order to move from Baoding to Beijing. Currently, the school is moving out one after another, and some facilities and students have already moved there.
It has been transferred to bei jing, and all relocation work is expected to be completed before the middle of this year.
The General Affairs Office once again urges all trainee officers who are training abroad to return to the academy as soon as possible. On the one hand, it is to allow the trainees to deal with the tedious matters during the relocation process of the academy, such as personal belongings, changes in course subjects, etc.; on the other hand, it is for the spring season.
The graduation assessment will begin soon. The first part of the assessment is scheduled for the end of March, and the other assessments will be notified separately.
Yuan Su noticed that the telegram was not signed by the educational institution of the school, but by Hu Longxiang, the general manager of the coaching institute. This means that the telegram was sent by Hu Longxiang in his own name. Hu Longxiang was the director of the Military Academy (the predecessor of the Army Preparatory College).
The first batch of graduates now serves in the Third Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters and concurrently serves as the chief office of the Army Preparatory Academy Coaching Center.
Yuan Su didn't know much about this senior's situation, but the fact that he sent this telegram specially on the day before the Lantern Festival showed that the other party was a caring person.
He also noticed some passing information in the content of the message. Hu Longxiang mentioned that Bei Jing was still paying attention to this matter. Although he did not say "which aspect of Bei Jing" or "what matter" he was concerned about, it was obviously implying that Yuan Shikai attached great importance to it.
Will my nephew return to school?
For the time being, he was not sure whether this was what Hu Longxiang's family said or whether it was true. If it was true, the Qing court had just been disbanded and there were so many major issues to be dealt with in the country. How could Yuan Shikai have the intention to take Luanzhou into consideration?
If it was a lie, Hu Longxiang obviously did not dare to make any mystery about this matter, and he even sent a telegram with such care on the day before the Lantern Festival.
But regardless of whether it was true or not, he still had to consider the graduation examination of the university at this moment. He had already thought about this issue in detail before. After all, he had studied in the academy for nearly three years. If he could not get an official certificate in the end,
There will be some regrets more or less.
But then again, it was impossible for him to leave Luanzhou and return to Baoding. Judging from the current situation, he could only try the method he had thought of before to see if he could stay in Luanzhou and participate in some assessment projects.
Today's era is not like there will be so many clauses in the past, and the Army Academy is originally a special education. He believes that as long as he has a certain relationship and shows some real skills that can persuade people, there is still a certain chance to obtain it.
Extraordinary treatment. To say the least, even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. For him, having this identity and background will be an extra benefit, and losing this identity and background will not hurt him.
Considering this, Yuan Su had no intention of answering Du Yu's words, but just told him: "You should go to the southern suburbs now and tell Guo Boji that I may not be able to come today because of something else. Just let him lead the team to practice on his own.
"
Du Yu was a little surprised that he suddenly stopped going to the Supervisory Training Office, but he didn't ask any more questions, nodded his head neatly, and trotted away in a hurry.
Yuan Su first went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then returned to his dormitory to start drafting a call back. Now he had a ready-made interpersonal relationship in front of him. As long as he could win over this person, it would be very promising to stay in Luanzhou and participate in the graduation assessment remotely.
It can be done. This person is none other than Hu Longxiang, the author of the telegram received today.
Since General Manager Hu is a caring person, it is natural that he values the identity of Yuan Shikai's nephew and at the very least does not dare to offend Yuan Su easily.
He could just take advantage of this, with good words and explicit hints, to persuade Hu Longxiang to hold an exception for him to hold a remote assessment. Even if Hu Longxiang really did not have the power, he could still convince the general affairs office of the school through the other party.
I spent several hours thinking about the wording of the call back. This was not a simple matter. It must not only express gratitude to Hu Longxiang, but also maintain the dignity of "Yuan Shikai's nephew", and at the same time fully explain the inescapable situation.
Reasons and cherishment of the Army Preparatory Academy. In short, it must be comprehensive and leak-proof. Only in this way can it be convincing enough.
At noon, Yuan Su finally prepared to reply the call as if squeezing out toothpaste. He was about to go out to the communications office of the Biaobu Camp Building to send the message, but at this time there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.
While sorting out the manuscript of the telegram, he asked outside the door: "What's the matter?"
A voice came from outside the door: "Master Yuan, there is someone looking for you at the gate. He says his surname is Huang and he comes from Anshan Town."
Yuan Su was slightly startled. Could it be Huang Butler from the Zhang Mansion? He then said: "I know, please invite people to my office first, I will come later."
There was a sound outside the door, and then the footsteps faded away.
After a while, Yuan Su left the dormitory with the manuscript. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the office first. Anyway, everything was much more convenient after the headquarters had communication equipment, so he was not in a hurry. When he arrived at the entrance of the office in the west barracks, it happened to be
When the guard on duty came with a visitor, as expected, it was Butler Huang from the Zhang Mansion.
He asked the guards to return to their posts first, and he welcomed Butler Huang into the office. He smiled and greeted, "Why is Uncle Huang free to come into the city today to bid for the Ministry?"
Butler Huang chuckled and replied: "I came here this time to pay a special visit to Mr. Yuan as ordered by the master."
Yuan Su asked Butler Huang to sit down, and then he poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over. Butler Huang quickly stood up and took it with both hands. Since Zhang Juren recognized Yuan Su as his cousin, in front of him, Yuan Su was naturally his master's son.
character.
"Oh, really? Come to think of it, I forgot to go to my cousin's place to pay New Year's greetings during the first month of the year. It's really a sin." He sighed seriously and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
The reason why I didn't go to Anshan Town to pay New Year's greetings in the first month was partly because I was busy with the affairs of the Luanzhou Consultative Bureau and the Republic of China at that time, and partly because Zhang Juren had just been mourned not long ago, so I was afraid of any traditional taboos.
Inconvenient to move around.
"No, what Mr. Yuan said is so outrageous. I just experienced a black and white incident a while ago, and according to the rules, there should be no festive activities. Therefore, not only is it not rude for Mr. Yuan not to go, but it is also in compliance with the customs.
.Today, the master asked me to come to visit Mr. Yuan just to talk about this matter." Butler Huang said quickly.
"So that's it. In fact, I also have this concern. Alas, it's really embarrassing to mention this matter. It's a pity that the murderer has not been apprehended until today. I really feel ashamed of my cousin." Yuan Su shook his head and sighed.
said.
"Young Master Yuan does not need to blame himself so much. I also know that Young Master Yuan has tried his best. On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, I planned to invite you to Anshan Town for a simple meal, although I could not celebrate the festival due to the mourning.
, but homely meals are still okay. However, I heard that Mr. Yuan takes Minzhuang for morning jogging training every morning. He knew that Mr. Yuan was also very busy here and was afraid that he would not have time to come to the town, so he gave up in the end." Huang Guanjia.
