"Heng Shuai, Mr. Du Jean, the French acting deputy consul in Chengdu, is here!"
"Ah!" Wang Hengyue stared: "What? What is he doing here?"
Before he finished speaking, before Wang Hengyue could continue to pretend to be sick, he saw Margaret walking in happily with Du Rang: "Hey, Ares!"
"Ah!" Wang Hengyue forced a smile and greeted him: "Hello, Consul Du Rang."
"King, Lord Guardian." Du Rangneng spoke in understandable Chinese: "People outside are saying that you are sick, but now it seems that you are in better spirits than me."
"Yes, my health is much better, a lot." Wang Hengyue was a little embarrassed: "Consul Du Rang, please sit down. Come and serve tea."
Du Rang sat down and patted Margaret's hand: "Margaret has added a lot of trouble to you. She is a disobedient child and must bother you here. Thank you very much for taking care of her."
.”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Wang Hengyue said hypocritically: "This guardian envoy is the most hospitable. No matter how long Miss Margaret stays here, I welcome her. Is Mr. Consul here to take her back?
?”
"Buyang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My term is about to expire and I will return to China soon."
Wang Hengyue was startled for a moment. I left Margaret here just because you are the consul and I might need you in the future. Now you suddenly want to return to China. What kind of thing is this?
How could Du Rang have thought of what Governor Wang was thinking: "Originally, I wanted to take Margaret back with me, but she refused, saying that her understanding of China had just begun, and she needed to continue to stay.
〖中〗国. Well, this is a stubborn child, and I have no way to convince her, so I think I will continue to trouble the guardian envoy."
Come on, you are looking for trouble for me again. Maybe my wife-in-law will say something when you go back. But I can't refuse you. Wang Hengyue feels a headache.
"The situation in [China] is very chaotic. The military attack launched by the Kuomintang has just been defeated by the government forces. But in Yunnan, after the governor, Mr. Cai E, left, the Kuomintang attempted to instigate a military coup in Dali, Yunnan, but
It still failed. I think the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang will not be willing to do this, and will continue to launch military operations again and again." Du Rang obviously knew the situation in China very well, and he did not care about where Wang Hengyue was.
Thinking about something, he said to himself: "[China] has a powerful ruler Yuan Shikai. He successfully defeated all the forces that opposed him and firmly controlled the political situation of [China]. However, Sichuan still has
In the midst of chaos, various forces are competing in Sichuan. I think Sichuan also has a strongman, right?"
Wang Hengyue felt that there was something wrong in Du Rang's words, so he didn't answer and just smiled lightly.
Looking at Wang Hengyue, Du Rang smiled slightly and said: "A few days ago, British Consul Alex and American Secretary John and I discussed the situation in Europe and had another question about Sichuan and China.
I have some opinions. Commander Cai E and Commander Yin Changheng were successively transferred to Beijing. Commander Yin Changheng was sent to prison for embezzling public funds, while Commander Cai E was invited to join the Military Research Association. Sichuan may soon have
It has become the Sichuan of the government.”
Wang Hengyue still smiled.
You damn foreign devil, are you here to test my thoughts today? I will send you a concubine into Cao's camp without saying a word.
"There is a very important person in Sichuan." Du Rang seemed not to care about Wang Hengyue's attitude: "That is your Lord, Wang Hengyue, the Guardian Envoy."
"Haha, thank you, thank you, how can Wang deserve to be called pivotal?" Wang Hengyue finally said "haha".
"Lord Guardian, you are too humble." Du Rang smiled and said: "You are the pioneer and elder of the Sichuan Revolution. Your power is spread all over southern Sichuan. Anyone who wants to do something in Sichuan must ask for help.
Please give me your opinion. Even General Wu Xiangzhen, who has just entered Sichuan, cannot avoid this. Of course, there are widespread rumors that you are sick."
Wang Hengyue stopped smiling: "Mr. Du Rang, my living environment is very bad. There is a possibility of being eaten at any time. Governor Hu Jingyi is not at ease with me either."
"No, no!" Du Rang interrupted him: "Captain Hu is too aggressive and impetuous. He is no match for you. Otherwise, President Yuan Shikai would not continue to act after the Sichuan rebellion has been quelled.
The transfer of Wu Xiangzhen’s 4th Mixed Brigade into Sichuan seems to us to be the government’s uneasiness about Governor Hu Jingyi!”
Wang Hengyue nodded. In any case, these foreign devils still had a very clear judgment on the situation.
At this time, Wang Hengyue no longer had to hide anything: "Let's put it this way, Mr. Du Rang, in addition to visiting Margaret, the purpose of your visit this time is to have a very important mission, which is to come and see
How sick am I Wang Hengyue is? Can I be taken advantage of by you?"
"It's very ugly to use these two words." Du Rang said repeatedly: "We support President Yuan, but it seems that the President's hand is not yet able to reach Sichuan. The situation in Sichuan is very chaotic at the moment, so we have to
To ensure that our interests in Sichuan will not be maliciously violated. If there is a strong man who is loyal to the government and has strong determination, we will be very happy to cooperate with him and provide him with certain help."
Very good, these damn foreign devils are here to find their agent in Sichuan!
Wang Hengyue suddenly thought of what the American Stwang said to him at the cocktail party in Chengdu when he was still a team officer: "So, you must be in a position to achieve these things. You have already seen the consuls of various countries.
But now, including me, they will not give you any substantial help, because your official position is too small. However, when one day you sit in a certain position in the future, you don’t even need to speak.
, we will also proactively consider the possibility of cooperating with you."
Now, the day has finally come, and I have sat in this position.
Stewang did not tell lies to himself. These foreign devils were all pragmatic snobs, and now they really took the initiative to find him!
In the past, Zhao Erfeng, then Pu Dianjun, and Yin Changheng fell down one by one, but he was still standing. Not only was he standing, his power was also expanding bit by bit.
It is impossible for these consuls not to see this. For those who they once supported but have fallen, they will not hesitate to kick them away and find a new agent.
And their current goal is themselves!
You can use me, but can’t I use you?
Thinking of the Beiyang forces that were about to enter Sichuan, Wang Hengyue's eyes lit up.
Wang Hengyue let out a breath: "Consul Du Rang, I am very grateful for your kindness. Likewise, I am willing to cooperate with you. This is beneficial to both of us. But the prerequisite for all this is that I cannot
Even if you leave Sichuan, you can't be eaten by others."
Du Rang nodded slightly, Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "The Beiyang Army is about to enter Sichuan. You also know that while cooperating with me, you will also test Beiyang's intentions. This is none of my business. I am a person
It’s very simple to say, whoever gives me support, within the scope of my control, I will give the greatest support to whoever!”
"What if all Sichuan belongs to you in the future?" Du Rang suddenly asked.
"Then our cooperation still exists." Wang Hengyue said unhurriedly: "You can cooperate with me and Beiyang at the same time. I don't mind at all. But when I need help the most, I hope to get your recognition.
"
"You are a cheerful person, Lord Commander Wang." Du Rang stretched out his hand and shook it with Wang Hengyue: "Working with you is the most pleasant thing."
Seeing Du Rang's happy face, Wang Hengyue sneered in his heart.
I am so happy now, but one day in the future I lose power, I guarantee you, you will kick me away like a broken sack!
The relationship between me and you is nothing more than a relationship of mutual use!
"It would be great if the negotiations on the situation in Europe could be as pleasant as the negotiations between the guardian envoys." Du Rang suddenly sighed.
Indeed, Europe is now in a state of chaos. Wang Hengyue thought in his mind that the First World War will break out soon!
With a thought in his heart, he said: "Mr. Du Rang, I am preparing to open an agency in Europe. This time you return to China, I hope you will help me bring a few people there to be my agents in Europe. Of course, it is limited to business.
"
"Okay, there's no problem with that." Du Rang readily accepted Wang Hengyue's request: "I will provide your people with all conveniences within my capabilities."
With that, he extended an invitation to Commissioner Wang: "The day after tomorrow, I will prepare a cocktail party in Chengdu to welcome the new consul and bid farewell to everyone. I hope that the Commissioner can attend and I will introduce the new consul to
you."
Wang Hengyue thought about it in his mind. There is no problem in going to Chengdu this time. Even if Hu Jingyi wants to do anything to him, these consuls will not agree: "I am very happy to accept your invitation, but my body..."
Du Rang was startled at first, and then burst into laughter: "We have the best doctors. Under our careful care, the guardian's health has improved a lot. Medicine in Europe is the most developed."
"Yes, European medicine is very good. You see, I can even go to the ground and move around." Amid laughter, Wang Hengyue stretched his muscles and said: "Then, I will definitely participate on time."
Du Rang smiled and said: "I will send someone to pick you up, doctor, yes, doctor, your health is not good yet, of course you need the doctor's careful care!"@.
