"Shi Fengrong is guilty of coveting life and fearing death!"
After Zhong Ying finished speaking, he quickly added: "But I think that Shi Fengrong has worked hard on weekdays and made great contributions. He has devoted himself to the affairs of the new army and has not thought about food and drink. He still has some merits. The death penalty can be avoided. Shi Fengrong is exempted from the post of supervisor.
He will be escorted back to Chengdu for further retrial."
Knowing that Shi Fengrong was Zhong Ying's confidant and that it was rare for Zhong Ying to do this, Zhao Erfeng nodded.
"As for the second battalion leader." Zhong Ying glanced around the camp: "Zhang Xu, the former second battalion leader, is acting as the leader."
Zhao Erfeng was a little dissatisfied. In his mind, Wang Hengyue was the best candidate to take charge. But the second battalion was the second battalion of the Thirty-three Mixed Association, so it was understandable for Zhong Ying to use helpers as agents to take charge.
Zhong Ying suddenly said: "Wang Hengyue."
"exist!"
"Wang Hengyue has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. He is also the leader of the second battalion. It is you who are in charge of the first battalion."
"Yes!" Wang Hengyue responded.
Not too bad, I hired a deputy battalion commander to work for him.
This officer was shot down by himself, but even so, the speed of promotion was considered fast. In such a short period of time, he went from a penniless commoner to the position of deputy battalion commander.
In fact, he may not be happy if Wang Hengyue is really asked to be the leader. Rong County has invested a lot of money in Wang Hengyue, and now everything is on track. If he is asked to change places, then all the hard work he has done before will be in vain.
Although no substantial benefits were gained from this counter-insurgency, there were still great gains. First, he had made a name for himself in Tibet, and he would be able to flex his muscles when he countered the rebellion for the second time in the future.
The most important point is that it left a good impression in Zhao Erfeng's mind. Wang Hengyue knew very well that Zhao Erfeng would soon take over the position of Governor of Sichuan. Although it would be short-lived, he would still be able to hold the position for a few months. By then, he would
There is a lot to be done based on the impression in his mind. More importantly, is his brother still serving as the governor of Sichuan?
How could Zhao Erfeng know what Wang Hengyue was thinking about? He only knew that Wang Hengyue had made such great contributions, but he was only named a helper in name only. He should have been aggrieved, but looking at Wang Hengyue's appearance, he was not moved at all. Come to think of it,
This person is not burdened by fame and wealth. Thinking of this, I feel even more fond of Wang Hengyue.
Shi Fengrong was escorted down, and Zhao Erfeng had another conversation there, letting everyone disperse, leaving Wang Hengyue alone.
"Tell me about it." Zhao Erfeng's words were full of affection: "You have made such a great contribution, but you have not received the reward you deserve. You are wronged. Although I control Sichuan and Yunnan border affairs, I cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the Sichuan Army.
You have to understand this."
Wang Hengyue said hurriedly: "No matter what Mr. Zhao says, he is doing things for the court. A little grievance means nothing."
"It's best if you think so." Zhao Erfeng nodded with great satisfaction: "Do you have any requirements?"
This was a huge and perfect opportunity. Wang Hengyue was not willing to let it go and said hurriedly: "Master Zhao, Rong County is a very good place. The local businessmen are very interested in saving the country through industry. They want to open a machine bureau, but they have no chance to meet Zhao Duxian."
Therefore, this matter can only be postponed. Heng Yue believes that setting up a machine bureau will benefit the country and the people, and it is very feasible..."
"Machine Bureau? Do you want to make weapons?" Zhao Erfeng asked with a frown.
"No." Wang Hengyue thought to himself, this machine bureau is used to make weapons and ammunition, but he must not say it out loud: "This is for mining. Most of our machines are imported from the West and are controlled by foreigners.
If you can make machines by yourself, you can get rid of foreign control and enrich the country and benefit the people..."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "The money to start the machine bureau will naturally be managed by local businessmen, and there is no need for Zhao Duxian to spend any time..."
"So what you want is for me to intercede for you," Zhao Erfeng said.
"Heng Yue means exactly this."
"How much money are you planning to invest in it?" Zhao Erfeng suddenly asked.
Wang Hengyue was startled. Even if the Machinery Bureau could allow it to be opened, I still don’t know where to get the money. But it is absolutely unbelievable to say that he is so enthusiastic without investing: "In response to your words, Hengyue wants to invest in it."
Several thousand taels of silver."
"By the way, I heard that your Wang family has a great cause in the United States, and a few thousand taels of silver is nothing." Zhao Erfeng said with a smile: "I will give your Governor Zhao a letter to amend the constitution, which can be considered as compensation for your contribution.
But I don’t dare to vouch for whether Zhao Duxian is right or not!”
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed.
If you write a letter to your brother as a younger brother, then things will be much easier to handle. I am a machine manufacturer in name, but what I do in secret is a secret.
Zhao Erfeng encouraged him a few words, and Wang Hengyue stood up to leave.
When I went out, I saw Zhang Xu, the new leader of the second battalion, who had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Wang Hengyue coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Captain Wang... no, Assistant Wang."
"Zhang Guandai, congratulations." Wang Hengyue smiled and cupped his hands.
Zhang Xu was very embarrassed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Speaking of which, my leadership position was originally yours. Your gang leader fought bloody battles, but my brother picked a ready-made peach. I'm so ashamed."
"As Guan Dai said, in the future, Guan Dai will be in Leshan and the brothers will be in Rong County. There will be many places to support each other." Wang Hengyue had a good impression of this man. As a boss, he would be much better than Shi Fengrong.
"We can't aggrieve the leader Wang." Zhang Xu had already calculated in his mind: "This time the first team's ammunition consumption is very large. After my brother returns to Leshan, he will definitely find a way to allocate a batch of rifle bullets to the first team."
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed, this person is really good.
Seeing Wang Hengyue's subordinate Deng Xia waiting aside, Zhang Xu said goodbye. Wang Hengyue called Deng Xia to him: "How is Yu Lei now?"
"It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." Deng Xia looked to the side and whispered: "When I came here, Yu Lei repeatedly asked me to tell you, Shi Fengrong must be killed as soon as possible, and no future troubles will be left.
This time Shi Fengrong was escorted back to Chengdu, Deng Xia thought it was an excellent opportunity..."
"Inappropriate." Wang Hengyue shook his head: "If we are discovered, it will be no different from the charge of rebellion, and our hard work will be in vain. Besides, Shi Fengrong does not pose much threat to us at present. But Zhong Ying only
Afraid of being very dissatisfied with me. By the way, how are Shi Fengrong's children? Damn it, Yu Lei is really bold."
"I don't know, but Yu Lei said that when doing something, you must eradicate the root cause."
Wang Hengyue was startled for a moment. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? It was too cruel. After all, the children were innocent. Although Yu Lei was loyal to him, his method of conduct did not leave any way out.
"Deng Xia understands your thoughts, but according to Yu Lei's approach, I'm afraid it's too late to stop it now!"
