    "Hereby, Xu Wei, of the 58th Regiment of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the 15th Division, has made great contributions to stabilizing Luzhou, and he is promoted to the position of commander of the 29th Brigade!"

    A few days after Chen Huan announced the coup, Wu Xiang's reconnaissance department withdrew to Chengdu, and Feng Yuxiang's mixed brigade also withdrew from the front line and was stationed in Yuquan to observe the situation in Chengdu.  Before, he was respectful to Chen Huan because of the authority of the central government. Now that Chen Huan had changed sides, Zhou Jun was no longer so polite.  At this time, Chengdu was surrounded by Beiyang troops. Chen Huan asked Cai E for help, but received only a perfunctory reply.  As a last resort, Chen Huan escaped from Chengdu, and Zhou Jun got his wish and became the governor of Sichuan.  He also reported Xu Wei to the central government, so that Xu Wei's position as brigade commander of the 29th Brigade was corrected.

    "Now the property has returned to its original owner." Wang Xiusheng looked at the seventeen boxes of oceans carried out from Xiong Xiangsheng's residence, each box cost exactly 10,000 yuan.  "Compared to Brigade Commander, Brigadier Xiong is really stingy."

    Xu Wei contributed the most to the seizure of Liu Cunhou's troops in Luzhou. However, Xiong Xiangsheng took away the 300,000 yuan that Yuan Shikai rewarded, while Xiong Xiangsheng took 130,000 yuan.  In the blink of an eye, all the reward money was scattered.  People are all realistic, and no one is unwilling to follow a boss who is both capable and generous.  Wang Xiusheng is naturally no exception.

    "It's just a temporary safekeeping for us for a period of time." Xu Wei smiled, "By the way, brother Yucheng, are the rifles that were detained before Liu Bin's department still there?"

    "Yes, there are 1,867 rifles, all intact and preserved there." Wang Xiusheng nodded.

    "Travel seat!"

    "What's the matter?" Xu Wei looked at Wang Congyun.

    "A message from Governor Zhou."

    Xu Wei took a look at the message and frowned.

    "What's the trouble in the hotel?" Wang Xiu Sheng asked.

    "The military governor asked me to deploy defenses along the river to guard Luzhou and prevent the escort from going north." Xu Weidao.  "Crying children have milk to eat. I called back to the governor and told him that a certain unit must defend Luzhou. However, fighting alone in Luzhou and lacking food and death is a minor matter. I am afraid that I will betray the trust of the governor. Please increase the number of troops as soon as possible.  Send reinforcements and provide military supplies."

    What Xu Wei said is also true. Zhang Jingyao, Li Bingzhi, Wu Peifu, Wang Chengbin and other Beiyang generals gathered in Luzhou before, and consumed a lot of military supplies and ordnance. Due to the difficulty of traveling in the rear, except for Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui secretly wrestled with Yuan Shikai in Beijing.  Zhang Jingyao and others led their troops to retreat, not without the idea of ??retaining their strength.

    "This is a hard job. Most of the Central Army is evacuating to Chongqing. Now we are the only one in Luzhou City with the 29th Brigade. Liu Xiang may not obey the brigade's instructions. Now the ammunition supply is extremely tight. How can we stop it?  Can you protect me?" Wang Xiu Sheng asked worriedly.

    "Brother Yucheng just needs to remind the warlord. I have a sense of what happens on the battlefield." Xu Weidao said, this Zhou Jun is also a bit stubborn. Chen Huan has already seen clearly that Yuan Shikai's power will not last long, but he is still dedicated to working for Yuan Shikai.  .  Today, Yuan Shikai is an old man and is no longer what he used to be.  However, although Chen Huan saw clearly, he was eventually let go by Cai E and Feng Guozhang, and became the victim of this game of Sichuan heroes.  If Zhou Jun wants to follow Yuan Shikai all the way to the end, I'm afraid the result won't be much better.

    "It's good that you know what you are doing." Wang Xiangsheng nodded, glanced at Mrs. Liu who was crying not far away, then came closer to Xu Wei, and said with a ghostly voice, "Since Xiong Xiangsheng has surrendered to the guardian, it doesn't matter.  Our boss is here, and Mrs. Liu is quite pretty, so I¡¯d like to see if you want to stay."

    Xu Wei glanced at Mr. Liu. He had fair skin and a plump body. He was indeed a bit irritating. However, Xiong Xiangsheng was his boss after all, so it would not be nice to hear this kind of thing spread.  Then he shook his head and said, "As a woman, don't make things difficult for others. Just ask her where she is going and then send two soldiers to send her away."

    "Yes, traveling seat." Xu Wei decided, and Wang Xiu Sheng couldn't say anything else.

    "Brigadier, you call me." After Wang Xiusheng left, the former brigade chief of staff Wen Zexian received the message and immediately rushed to the brigade headquarters and found that Xu Shaozeng was also there.

    "Well, brother Zhiming, now Governor Zhou has ordered me to set up defenses along the river and not allow the escort to cross the river. I'm not sure what Liu Xiang is thinking. I want to be outside the 57th and 58th regiments.  If we set up another regiment, I wonder if Brother Zhiming is willing to submit to it." Wen Zexian is a graduate of the second infantry course in Baoding. After getting in touch with him during this period, Xu Wei knew that Wen Zexian was a man who knew soldiers. In addition, Xu Wei and Xu Shaozeng  I am used to working together, so I want to replace Wen Zexian as chief of staff.

    "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the brigade." At this time, the Republic of China did not attach much importance to the staff system. In Wen Zexian's eyes, a regimental commander with real power was much better than a brigade chief of staff. Wen Zexian's face was happy at first, and then a little a little bit.  Worrying, "If the brigade expands to a regiment, will Governor Zhou do it?"

    Wen Zexian knew that if he became the regiment leader, there would inevitably be other candidates to become the brigade counselor.Chief, if Zhou Jun disagrees, his regiment will be in danger of being disbanded. Then the position of chief of staff will be gone. If he is just happy, he will also lose his original position.

    "Brother Zhiming, don't worry. Governor Zhou is a reasonable and courteous person. Zhang Jingyao's withdrawal is a foregone conclusion. Now my brigade is the only one fighting the guards in Luzhou. Liu Xiang still refuses to deal with me and there are no reinforcements.  There is no logistical guarantee. I don't know how to defend Luzhou." Xu Wei knew what Wen Zexian was worried about, "Even if the war is over and the central government wants to disarm, as long as I, Xu Wei, am still in the 29th Brigade,  There will definitely be a place for a distinguished brother in the army."

    "Okay, since everyone in the hotel said so, if you continue to refuse the humble position, it will be disrespectful." Wen Zexian nodded.

    "Brigade, the escort is approaching step by step. The temporarily recruited troops have never been on the battlefield, so I'm afraid they won't be of use." Wen Zexian's back disappeared at the gate of the brigade headquarters. Xu Shaozeng, who had been silent next to him,  road.

    "I don't expect this temporarily expanded regiment to be of any use in Luzhou. Sichuan is in chaos, so we should make plans for the future." Xu Weidao said that the New World in Shanghai was expanding, and the watch assembly factory was affected by the war.  With some influence, Zeng Jincheng co-founded a steel factory in Shanghai with the extra funds.  At this time, the European War was raging, and the prices of all military-related materials were soaring. At this time, several iron smelting plants had been opened in Shanghai.  But the scale is not large.  Yan Xishan from Shanxi is also doing it.

    However, I still have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from the previous reward, plus the 170,000 yuan collected from Xiong Xiangsheng, plus the more than 1,800 rifles, there is no problem in pulling a group together, as for the firearms are not uniform  , the problem of insufficient ammunition can only be discussed later.
