Chapter 183: The Guardian Ambassador arrives (80th month)
The Acting Consulate of France is brightly lit tonight and the music is playing!
The original consul Du Rang is leaving, and the new consul Xiao Xiao is here.
Consuls and secretaries from various countries gathered here to see off Consul Du Rang and welcome Consul Sean.
Not only that, the big shots from Sichuan also arrived.
Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan, and Wu Xiangzhen, commander of the 4th Beiyang Mixed Brigade, met Wu Xiangzhen here. Hu Jingyi was a little embarrassed.
In fact, this has something to do with my embarrassment in Sichuan!
Although he was nominally the governor of Sichuan, he did not have an army that was completely obedient to his orders and could be mobilized at any time. What frustrated Hu Jingyi the most was that he helped Yuan Shikai put down the Sichuan rebellion, but Yuan Shikai still felt dissatisfied with him.
Don’t worry, I still don’t treat myself as one of my own!
Wu Xiangzhen is coming, and more forces from the Beiyang Army will come in. It seems that his position as the governor of Sichuan is really in danger.
"Captain Hu! Wu Xiangzhen walked over with a smile on his face: "Captain Hu pacified Sichuan in one fell swoop.
The rebel party has made great contributions to the country, and the president is very happy!"
"Thank you, thank you so much." Hu Jingyi said with a cupped hand: "Brothers are very devoted to the president, and it was a fluke. Although Xiong Kewu was defeated, the chaotic party activities in Sichuan are still rampant. Now that Brigadier Wu is here, everything will be easier to handle."
"Captain Hu is too humble, too humble," Wu Xiangzhen said repeatedly.
These two people, who had their own secrets, were chatting and talking about insignificant things, just like a pair of the closest friends.
At this moment, a shout came from the door: "Lieutenant General Commander of the Independent Mixed Division of the Army of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue, the garrison envoy of southern Sichuan, has arrived!"
"What?"
Hu Jingyi and Wu Xiangzhen were stunned at the same time, almost unable to believe what their ears heard.
Who is coming? Is Wang Hengyue coming?
Isn't he too sick to get out of bed?
They heard correctly, and saw Wang Hengyue wearing a military uniform, under the care of two foreign doctors, and with the support of his wife Ma Yunxin, appearing in front of everyone.
There was a burst of applause in the banquet hall, and the French Consul Dujean, the new Consul Sean, the British Alex Eckford, and the American Second Secretary Stephen actually came to greet him.
Du Rang smiled and said: "My lord, I am so happy to see you here. Let me introduce to you that this is my successor, the new French acting consul in Chengdu, Sean."
"Hello, Mr. Sean." Wang Hengyue stretched out his hand and shook Sean's hand.
Alex and Stewang were both "old friends" of Wang Hengyue. They greeted each other and smiled understandingly.
Weiss, the imperial consul stationed in Sichuan under the imperial command of Great Germany, simply shook hands with Wang Hengyue.
After all, there is something wrong with the relationship between Germany and Britain and France, and there is still some distance between the two sides.
"King, you are finally here." Margaret walked over happily.
Seeing Ma Yunxin next to Wang Hengyue, Margaret let out a low exclamation. Ma Yunxin, who had been dressed up deliberately today, was so beautiful and radiant.
Margaret was not jealous at all. She took Ma Yunxin's hand and said, "Madam, welcome here. Where were your clothes made? When you go back, you must make one for me too."
Margaret did not regard herself as an outsider at all. In her opinion, Wang Hengyue's home was not the same as her own home?
While the two women were talking, Wang Hengyue came to Hu Jingyi and Wu Xiangzhen, saluted with a "ba", and then gasped a few times: "Hello, Governor Hu! This must be Brigadier Wu?"
"Ah, okay, okay" Hu Jingyi still hasn't realized what's going on.
Du Rang said with a smile: "The guardian envoy and I have been good friends since the Qing Dynasty. When I heard that the guardian envoy was sick, I was very anxious, so I specially invited two of the best French doctors to treat him.
, you see, isn’t this already much better.”
"Ah, it's good, it's good, it's good." Hu Jingyi finally came back to his senses.
He had no suspicion that a foreign consul would help Wang Hengyue lie. He was just angry that the foreigners were too troublesome. How about letting Wang Hengyue die directly? Now, in addition to the Beiyang forces, there was another Wang Hengyue.
Wang Hengyue coughed again and again, perhaps because he had "standing for too long". The French doctor beside him hurriedly said something loudly, and Du Rang said carefully: "It's time for injections again, Mr. Guard." Sorry, sorry.
, I'll talk to you two later." Wang Hengyue said weakly, and then with the help of a French doctor, he went to the small lounge next to him.
After closing the door, Du Rang said with a smile: "Lord Guardian, it seems that they are all surprised at your recovery speed."
"Yes, yes, I would like to thank Mr. Consul a lot." Wang Hengyue fisted: "My people have come to Chengdu. Mr. Consul will ask to see them later. After I go to France, I will rely on Mr. Consul for help."
."
As he said this, he took out a small jade Buddha from his pocket! "I don't have anything to give as a gift. This jade Buddha is just my way of thanking Mr. Consul." "Mr. Guardian, you are too polite." Du Rang
I accepted the gift without any hesitation.
There were still guests to greet outside, so Du Rang asked Wang Hengyue to stay here for a while and hurried out.
Wang Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take a rest when there was another knock on the door. Wang Hengyue hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and pretended to let the French doctor give him an injection. Then he said: "Please come in.
The person who came in was Wu Xiangzhen. When he saw Wang Hengyue's appearance, he smiled and said: "Foreigners' medical treatment is indeed very different from that in China. If this needle is inserted, won't it hurt?"
"It hurts a little, it hurts a little." Wang Hengyue put down his sleeves: "But compared to being sick, these pains are nothing. My brother's life was saved with this needle."
"Have a good rest!" the French doctor said in dry and difficult to understand Chinese Mandarin, then closed the door and went out.
"Commander Wu, please sit down."
Wu Xiangzhen sat down and said: "The President did not go to Chengdu with Governor Cai and Governor Yin this time. The Governor was very sorry. The Governor did not know that the President valued you very much. After knowing that you were ill, he sighed all day long.
, I can’t even eat, I can’t sleep well!”
You're welcome. I'm going to Chengdu. It's not certain whether I can come back alive. Wang Hengyue also had a look of regret on his face: "Yeah, I'm very sorry that I couldn't go to see the president. I'll wait until I'm completely cured of my illness."
, I have to go to Beijing no matter what, and ask the President for advice in person. When the time comes, I will also ask Brigadier Wu to introduce him!” “Easy to say, easy to say.” Wu Xiangzhen laughed: “Brother came to Chengdu this time, and we are in a distant place.
As soon as your eyes darken, you have to rely on the guardian envoy to take care of everything." Wang Hengyue said: "Speaking of care, the real thing is that Brigadier Wu takes care of the brothers. Although the brother has a guardian envoy, but in terms of care,
, Brigadier Wu is the direct descendant of the President, he is a disciple of the Emperor, how can a local garrison brother be compared to Brigadier Wu." These words spoke to Wu Xiangzhen's heart.
To be honest, although Wu Xiangzhen is only a brigade commander, he really doesn't pay attention to these governors and guardian envoys. These people can be wiped out with just a flick of the Beiyang elite's hand!
The envoy Wang Feng is quite sensible.
"Brigadier Wu led his troops here, and it was a hard journey. Brothers should have done something to help Brigadier Wu, but this body..." Wang Hengyue sighed, and then took out a banknote: "This is a deposit in Chengdu.
Brigadier Wu accepted the ten thousand taels of silver in the commercial bank as a reward for the brothers of the 4th Brigade!" "How can this be done? How can this be done!" Wu Xiangzhen did not expect that Wang Hengyue would suddenly do this, and he hurriedly declined.
Wang Hengyue didn't want to think about it, but he said with a straight face: "Don't Brigadier Wu regard brothers as friends?" "Well, then I will reluctantly accept it. Thank you, Lord Guard!" Wu Xiangzhen said after taking the banknote.
Throughout the ages, there are two things that are always unfavorable, one is money and the other is beauty. How many heroes and heroes did not die on the battlefield, but fell to these two things.
And this is also one of Wang Hengyue’s most effective magic weapons!
Since the money was given away, the relationship between the two people suddenly became much closer. As they talked, they also talked about Hu Jingyi. Wu Xiangzhen looked at the door and whispered: "Guardian, you and I are our own people, as the saying goes
It's okay for me to tell you, but you must not spread it. The president is very dissatisfied with the chaos in Sichuan, and he also criticizes Governor Hu. He wants to rectify Sichuan, but he only wants to succeed Governor Hu.
The candidate has not yet been decided. Furthermore, Governor Hu has made a new decision. "Brother, if you know this, you will be more cautious. Thank you, Brigadier Wu, for reminding me."
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "Brigadier Wu, Newcomer Four 1" If you have any difficulties, you can come to Leshan to find your brothers, but if there are people who can help, brothers will never refuse!"
"Okay!" Wu Xiangzhen gave a thumbs up: "The guard is quick to speak quickly. We are all soldiers and we don't hide anything. In the future, you and I will be our own people. It's good to talk to each other about anything!" Wang Hengyue smiled slightly.
He responded: "I heard that there is a very big restaurant in Chengdu called "Xiaochun Pavilion". I will be the host tomorrow night. I will book a table there and ask Brigadier Wu to be sure to patronize it!" "The guard envoy will be the host.
Is there any reason for me, Wu, not to come?" Wu Xiangzhen readily accepted the invitation. He stood up and said, "Supervisor Hu is still waiting outside. Let me leave first. The guard will ensure your health. We will deal with you in the future.
There is plenty of time.”
"No, I'll see you at Xiaochun Pavilion tomorrow, brother!" Wang Hengyue said, cupping his hands.
Watching the door close, Wang Hengyue smiled.
In the current chaos, it depends on who can take the lead first!@.
