Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In Jingzhou in early April, it was just after Qingming, and it was rainy.

An army was struggling on the muddy dirt road while the rain stopped.

A few horses stood by the road, stretching their mouths to eat delicious wild flowers.

A man was looking at the small yellow flowers blooming on the side of the road with his hands behind his back, breathing the fresh air after the rain, listening to the trickling water in the field and the nightingales calling from time to time from the forest on the side of the road.

This man is Wang Zhenyu. According to the order of Wang Longzhong, the guardian of Changde, he is now the commander of the Jingzhou government.

After returning to Changsha from Nanjing, although Wang Zhenyu caused the Changsha military chaos, he wiped out the fifth division and executed Mei Xin.But through a series of means, Tan Yankai has gained a firm foothold in Hunan's political arena, and his reputation as a mother-in-law governor has reached its peak.

According to the agreement reached by Zhao Hengti and Wang Zhenyu, the fourth division will also be transferred to Baoqing.

It just so happened that Yang Jincheng, the former governor of Guizhou, withdrew from Nanjing and prepared to return to his hometown in Guizhou with the Qian army who had planned to participate in the Northern Expedition.However, Guizhou has been occupied by Cai E, the governor of Yunnan. Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou appointed by him, did not allow Yang Jincheng's troops to enter the country.

Tan Yankai repeatedly sent people to negotiate with Guizhou, but failed to make sense.Wang Longzhong could only be appointed as Baojing's guardian envoy, and led the three brigades of the Fourth Division of the Army to the border to disarm Yang Jincheng's troops and demobilize them on the spot.

This errand is easy to handle. This Guizhou army has no money, no food, two shortages of ammunition, and no morale. In addition, Changsha, Guizhou and Yang Jincheng have reached the "Hongjiang Agreement" in Hongjiang, so Wang Longzhong easily completed the errand of disarming and dismissing.

After completing his errands, Wang Longzhong, the guard envoy of Baojing, naturally wanted to return to his hometown in fine clothes.

Naturally, Wang Zhenyu also got leave to go home to visit relatives. When he thought of this relative he had never met, Wang Zhenyu felt conflicted, and he thought about it for a long time.In the end, the desire for family affection overcame the embarrassment in his heart. He still decided to leave the troops to Xu Yuanquan and Yang Wangui, and then took Ma Xicheng, Zhao Dongsheng and a group of guards home.

Wang Long first heard from his brother Wang Longzhong, who had returned to the village first, that his youngest son, who was leading the army outside, was coming back too, but it was only a few days late, so he immediately mobilized the whole family, killing chickens and ducks. , tossing will not work.

finally arrived at home.When Wang Zhenyu looked at these familiar and unfamiliar relatives, he took a deep breath.Then I said hello to those who should be greeted, said hello, and even gave my brothers a warm hug, which made my father tremble!At this time, it was Ma Xicheng's turn to play, saying that his cousin was injured and his personality changed a little.

This trick is naturally effective, no one doubts it anymore, and my mother, Wang Chen, is so tired that she sighs that my son has suffered.This heartfelt maternal love also moved Wang Zhenyu a little.

Strictly speaking, Wang Longxian is a very traditional and conservative person. Although he misses his son very much, he still put on a strict father's appearance without showing any expression.In fact, I am proud of myself, now that the third son of my family has also become a general, I think there is hope for the revitalization of the old Wang's family.

Wang Zhenyu didn't care what this cheap father thought about, he was busy feeling the rare family affection of a big family, and his later generations were really not doing well, and the relatives of the family looked at him as if they were watching a joke. How aggrieved is how aggrieved.But here, he felt the warmth of family affection, which had nothing to do with the dog skin on his body.

The eldest brother Wang Zhenkun is a dutiful farmer, but he has already married a son and a daughter.The eldest son, Jing An, is four years old, and the younger daughter is still in her mother's arms, unable to even speak.Wang Jing'an saw that this uncle Wang Zhenyu seemed to be a little suspicious, so he hid behind his mother, Wang Heshi, in fear.

Wang Zhenyu really likes this tiger-headed little nephew, and he insists on hugging him. In order to make this kid happy, he turned his whole body up and down, and finally gave the little nephew the telescope to play with.Children are certainly fun, and when they see rare objects, they don't remember to recognize them.After playing for a while, he actually laughed at Wang Zhenyu.

The other younger sisters, Wang Zhenyu, have also recognized them all. The second sister is already married, and her brother-in-law's surname is Liu Mingwang, from Qiyang. .

But now coincides with great changes, and his family is in trouble again, so it is really impossible to stay in Qiyang's hometown.In order to survive, the whole family had to flee to the old man's house in Wugang, which was considered to be hiding from the limelight.

The fourth brother Wang Zhenpeng, 19 years old, is studying at home, saying that he is preparing to apply for the Baoding Military Academy; the fifth brother Wang Zhenbang, 17 years old, is studying at Changsha No. 13 Normal School.Sixth sister Wang Ziqi is [-] years old this year, and seventh brother Wang Zhencheng is eight years old this year.

The harmonious scene of such a large family sitting around the kang group in the kitchen and discussing homework made Wang Zhenyu, who is an only child later, feel warm in his heart.

The fourth son, Wang Zhenpeng, was much better at studying than his third brother, and he was considered the most promising member of the Wang family since he was a child.But now that the third brother has become a general, he is still a white man, and his heart has become very complicated. To put it simply, he is envious, jealous and hateful.Sitting next to Wang Zhenyu is neither talking nor shutting up.

At this time, the nephew took the binoculars to his mother, Wang Heshi, and shook it, showing off. Wang Heshi teased him: "An Yazi, do you thank Third Uncle?"

Wang Zhenyu looked at this little nephew, and his paternal love was great: "Ah, have you learned arithmetic yet?"

Wang Heshi quickly interjected: "I've taught him the formula of arithmetic, this kid is pretty smart."

"Uncle Third, would you like to ask you a question?"

Wang Jingan turned his head and nodded, "I got the answer right, you want to give this to me, third uncle!"

Seeing Wang Jingan raise the binoculars, everyone laughed after hearing it, this little devil.

Wang Zhenyu chuckled: "Third Uncle heard that you learned arithmetic, so he asked you whether it was the Big Three or the Big Four!"

The "Big Four" Wang Jing'an answered without hesitation.

Wang Zhenyu stroked his little head: "That's right, is it the third uncle's age or the fourth uncle's age?"

Wang Jing'an immediately answered: "Fourth Uncle is big!"

The whole family was amused, and Wang Zhenyu laughed even more, this child is so cute.

Although he only stayed at home for three days, Wang Zhenyu felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time. He already recognized his family in this era.

In the past three days, Wang Zhenyu also did something for the second sister. It turned out that the second brother-in-law's family moved in because his eldest brother Liu Xing committed a crime.The second sister is not very clear about the specific situation, but said that during the revolution, this person returned to Hunan from other places, and because he was proficient in military affairs, he was appointed as the director of the Qiyang Military Institute by Jiao Dafeng, the governor of Hunan at that time.This was originally a good thing, but who would have expected that the situation in Hunan would change suddenly. In just ten days, Governor Jiao was killed, and many of his promoted subordinates were suppressed.Liu Xing, the director, was removed from his job and arrested by Changsha before his ass was hot. His family was also implicated, and he had to flee to Wugang with his family.Now that his third brother has become a general, it is not too difficult to settle this matter.But he couldn't get rid of that face by himself, so he couldn't speak up in person, so he asked his wife Liu Wangshi to come over and talk to his third brother Wang Zhenyu.

The meaning of the second brother-in-law is also very clear, that is, I hope that my brother-in-law, who is now in power, can come forward to deal with it, and ask the clan uncle Wang Longzhong to come forward and revoke the arrest order, and it is best to let the elder brother Liu Xingguan return to his post.

Hearing this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, but it wasn't easy to show it on his face.He and Wang Longzhong are also the former subordinates of Dudu Jiao. If he hadn't held the military power, Tan Yankai would have smashed himself and others to the end. Naturally, it would be impossible to find Wang Longzhong to get involved in this matter.

Fortunately, Zhao Hengti, who has just been promoted to the commander of the First Division under Tan Yankai, has a good relationship with him. He is Tan Dudu's confidant, and it is easy for him to come forward to help cancel the arrest of Liu Xing.It's just that it's not a big problem for the second sister's husband's family to return to Qiyang, but don't even think about reinstating the official. After all, the relationship between personnel and personnel is too complicated, so this matter is a bit tricky.

In the end, Wang Zhenyu asked his second sister to arrange it, and he directly met with Liu Xing, the brother-in-law of the second brother-in-law, to see how it could be arranged.

The first impression Liu Xing gave Wang Zhenyu was that his face was very peaceful. To be precise, he was not outstanding, and he would be inconspicuous in a crowd. At the same time, he didn't talk much, giving people a very secure feeling.

"Brother, you sit down, you are all from your own family, don't be too stranger, I heard from the second sister that you also knew Jiao Dudu at first?" These were the first words Wang Zhenyu met Liu Xing.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Fate."

Then there was no more, Wang Zhenyu was taken aback, knowing that there was no need to beat around the bush, and said directly: "I won't say more about other things, brother, you are proficient in military affairs, and my ninth brigade also needs military talents. It is difficult to arrange for you to return to Qiyang to serve, so I wonder if you are willing to serve in my team?"

Liu Xing took a careful look at Wang Zhenyu, and felt that his younger brother's brother-in-law was a relatively sincere person, so he replied after a little thought, "Yes."

After a while, he said: "I also have a sworn brother who also belongs to Qi Yang. He is a genius in military affairs and is good at strategy. He is now fleeing disaster like me. Can we use it together?"

Wang Zhenyu was very surprised that this man said so many words in one breath, he immediately nodded reflexively, and then asked: "Who is this person?"

Liu Xing uttered two words: "Zhou Lan."

Wang Zhenyu nodded. Although he didn't know how capable this person was, he still had to give him some face. . . . . .

In this way, Liu Xing agreed to serve in Wang Zhenyu's Ninth Brigade, and Wang Zhenyu also wrote to Zhao Hengti in Changsha, and the matter was finally resolved.

The second brother-in-law is naturally very satisfied with this. In his opinion, Wang Zhenyu is a good brother-in-law, he knows the taste very well, and he also gives his brother-in-law a lot of face.

Besides the second brother-in-law, Wang Longxian, Wang Zhenyu's father, was also very satisfied, because in this way, his daughter's status in the Liu family would naturally be much higher.

The tiger comes out of the box. . .
