Chapter 71: Open and Selfless

Updated: 2012-07-05

Although Wang Geng's sincere and low-key confession was temporarily compromised by Xu Shuzheng, and the two shook hands in Duan Qirui's study, the deputy chief of the army was obviously a little concerned about Wang Geng's living in Duan Mansion.

As the saying goes, the emperor is the most favorable to be favored and the most favorable to be favored, because it is easy to get close to the water and towers and the moon is the first to get the moon when they get together day and night. Xu Shuzheng himself has a generous mansion in Beijing, and his wife and concubines are very lucky and the whole family is happy. At this moment, he worried about Wang Geng's house in Beijing!

"Quan Quan, since Wang Geng has been appointed under Quan Gong, everyone will work together in the future. Our Anhui faction will surely achieve a new atmosphere. However, he is now a major general of the Army Department. How can he live in your mansion like a Qing Guest under his disciple? This is a big problem!"

When Duan Qirui finished the urgent documents and came to discuss with the two people how to promote the next step of joining the war, Xu Shuzheng raised this question.

"Wang Geng came back from the United States alone and had no close relatives in his hometown in Jiangsu. Although he studied in Tsinghua School in Beijing, he now has no relatives in Beijing. In this hurry, where did you ask him to settle down? My mansion is so spacious and there are too many empty houses, so why wouldn't it be nice to live there?"

Duan Qirui didn't know Xu Shuzheng's little calculations. He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, while saying indifferently.

Xu Shuzheng knew that his prime minister was honest and never saved money. You called Duan Qirui and sent him to house like Yuan Shikai. This style of old Duan couldn't learn it, and even if he was willing, he was powerless. Everyone knew that he was the Prime Minister of Liubu. Even Duan's mansion in Cangnan Hutong was built by himself and burned bricks.

"Brother Youzheng, the Prime Minister hired me as a national policy adviser and diplomatic and military secretary. I am alone in Beijing. I live in Duan Mansion just in time and night to learn and improve with the Prime Minister. Will you let my army be the dignified major general in the army department stay in a hotel?"

Wang Geng laughed and seemed to be determined to stay by Duan Qirui's side so that he could ask for instructions in the morning and evening to report to his favorite ministers.

"The Prime Minister has no house to reward you, the Army Department has it! I am also a errand in the General Office Affairs Department. It is not a trivial matter for you to prepare for the war and supervise the transfer of a house!" Xu Shuzheng came prepared. A guy like Wang Geng and a smart eloquent person, if he keeps him by Duan Qirui's side, Xu Shuzheng felt that he might not be good at sleeping at night.

"Youzheng, when I mention this, I remember that Wang Geng's preparations for the war are also a yamen in Beijing. Are you planning to allocate office space for him in the Army Department or to press a yamen outside? And what are your plans? Your 16th Mixed Brigade is far away in Langfang!"

Duan Qirui is only fifty-two years old this year, and he is the best age to be a national leader with rich experience and energy. When he remembered this, he asked the two of them.

After the Prime Minister asked this, the two of them didn't think about it for a moment. If Xu Shuzheng himself was the one who participated in the war and was preparing and supervising the war, he would not have to set up another yamen and just set up a yard in the Army Department to hang a sign. But if Wang Geng came to do this job, Xu Shuzheng was a little embarrassed.

Xu Shuzheng had personally experienced Wang Geng's eloquence. This guy was a little worried that Wang Geng would enter the Army Department's office. Maybe within half a year, it was unknown that Wang Geng had all the people from one department and eight departments of the Army Department, so he was unwilling to put Wang Geng's preparation office in the Army Department.

Of course, Wang Geng didn't plan to run around Langfang and Beijing every day in the future. Although Langfang is going to rush, it is said that if there is something wrong in Beijing, the teams in Beijing can drive to Beijing, and if there is something wrong, the teams in Tianjin can drive to Tianjin, but it is because there is nothing to rely on both ends. It is too late to arrive at any time when there is something wrong.

Seeing Xu Shuzheng frowning and turning his fingers to stop talking, Wang Geng knew that this guy was unwilling to go to the Army Department to work by himself. His eyes turned and remembered the story of Lao Feng who was stationed in Nanyuan to train troops in his previous life. The guy smiled and said,

"Prime Minister, you must not make things difficult for you. I think my participation in the war preparation office is combined with the brigade department of the 16th Mixed Brigade. But Langfang is a bit far away. Since we are practicing the direct line, if there is anything to use in the future, I see that most of the incidents occur in Beijing rather than Tianjin. Why not let Nanyuan give me the battle preparation office and transfer the 16th Mixed Brigade from Langfang to Beijing Nanyuan to stationed in Beijing. How good is that?"

Although Wang Geng spoke in a pleading voice, his tone was very persistent. Obviously, this guy made up his mind that he and the troops would not be too far away from Beijing at this moment.

"Nanyuan? It's a good place to station troops. The place is spacious and not far from the city. However, the army's large training playground is now used as an airport for the Nanyuan Aviation School? Is it true?" Duan Qirui asked Xu Shuzheng while thinking.

Damn, Nanyuan Aviation School and the Airport? It's OK. Although I won't practice the navy for the time being, the air force can be trained first, and there are armored troops... Wang Geng was happy when he heard this, and he became more determined to stay in Nanyuan.

Xu Shuzheng thought to himself that Wang Geng is even more eccentric than he was back then. It is obviously impossible to send him far away to Langfang to stay. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the 16th Mixed Brigade be stationed in Nanyuan, and the preparation office for the participation in the war can hang him with his brigade department. It is better to hang the sign in the Army Department!

"Mr. Quan, I think Wang Geng's idea is OK. Since Wang Geng is going to train an elite soldier for you, it is indeed a bit unreachable in Langfang. The place in Nanyuan has been abandoned for a long time. Don't you still have a farm there? It just so happened that Wang Geng's soldiers went to Songsongtu to help heal weed and apply some farm fertilizer. I think it's OK!" Xu Shuzheng said with a chuckle.

Duan Qirui saw that Xu Shuzheng actually agreed to Wang Geng’s proposal, and the old man was happy and said with a smile,

"You think it's good too? Then I'll allocate Nanyuan to Wang Geng. The barracks and palaces over there are ready-made. Not to mention stationing a mixed brigade, the entire 100,000 troops of the 6th Brigade of the Third Division of the Participating Army will be more than enough. As long as you two are united in unity, China will definitely have hope!"

Wang Geng nodded and said, "I usually run to Nanyuan and Duan Mansion. Anyway, it's not far away. I'll drive for an hour, or I'll go to the office during the day and go back to the Prime Minister to live at night. If you have any questions, you can discuss with the Prime Minister for instructions."

"Hey, you can press the yamen of the Preparatory Office for Participation in Nanyuan, but Beijing's own home is still the Army Department to allocate a house for you. Although there are not many good houses under the name of the General's Mansion, there is no problem in picking up a clean and spacious one for you to supervise the mansion in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Participation in Partic

While Xu Shuzheng was anxious to object, he complained in his heart that you still wanted to live by the Prime Minister for a long time. If I were there, I couldn't agree. I still wanted to live with the Prime Minister's Mansion every day, but can my family agree with the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Seeing that Xu Shuzheng was really anxious, Wang Geng refused to give up and said that he had just arrived at the first time. He was alone in Beijing. If he lived in Duan Mansion, it was very convenient to eat, live and move around. The maid Chunni was very attentive in daily life. How could I live if you asked me to move to a deserted house alone?

Xu Shuzheng was angry and funny. Only then did he realize that Wang Geng was a serious and gentleman, but when he was playing tricks, he was also in the same way as the scoundrels on the streets. He was very rude. I can't I pay you a lot of money to hire you, my maid, cook, and servant?

"Wang Geng, if you like it, Chunni and Xia Cao can take care of your daily life. But you have to take care of the people from my old Duan Mansion. You have to take care of them carefully. It's not enough to let them suffer aggrieved!"

Duan Qirui spoke slowly, Xu Shuzheng and Wang Geng were both stunned, Wang Geng continued to smile and said,

"What did you say? The relationship is good. The two maids and Xie Yuhua look at them, which makes people feel happy. Prime Minister, don't worry, I will give you permission to train you! I think they are relatives, and Lao Duan's mansion is their parents' home. How dare I treat them unfairly!"

I didn't know why this guy agreed so happily, and then thought that his brain and words and deeds must have been temporarily taken away by the younger brother Wang below.

Xu Shuzheng actually felt quite good about Xia Cao, a maid in the study. However, he didn't have the courage to marry him home as a concubine. He was too busy to deal with his wife and concubine at home for the time being. Seeing that the old man gave Xia Cao to Wang Geng, he felt that the main purpose was to be achieved.

"Well, Prime Minister, Brother You Zheng, how did I come here for the first time? I have no one to be able to help you. Can you two call out a trustworthy brother to be a personal follower? Just be honest and honest, even if you just pick two of your guards!"

Wang Geng didn't count the house and the maid, but he was not ashamed to ask Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng for use again!
