"Don't ask too much." Yue Xiangli said calmly, "Go and wait for the exchange."
"Yes." Yang Weiguo walked to the door and stood straight.
After a while, another guard, Wan Anbang, came over and exchanged positions with him.
Yue Xiangli unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote the troop mobilization order on the paper.
Glancing at the clock hanging opposite, Yue Xiangli said, "Wan Anbang."
"arrive!"
Yue Xiangli handed him the sealed troop dispatch order and said, "Ask the signalman to deliver it to Zheng Kaisheng."
"yes!"
After capping the pen, Yue Xiangli clasped his hands together, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and dozed off.
The landline phone rang and Yue Xiangli picked up the handle.
"Xiang Li, I just returned to Zhencheng. Do you want to have a meal together? I'll go to Yanzhou Hotel and chat with you."
"Can."
"Then you're free at one o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Um."
Yue Xiangli took the coat on the chair and left the study. When he left, a soldier ran towards him.
"Reporting to the commander, the police chief Han Yanfen wants to see you and says he wants to apologize on behalf of Han Xueyi."
"Tell him to get lost. He should apologize to the wrong person. Tell him that if he doesn't know how to teach his son, I don't mind helping him."
The Yue Marshal's Mansion does not play the game of superficial peace.
"yes!"
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Xiangli and Shen Dingwei sat opposite each other.
Shen Dingwei was wearing a blue suit with a tie hanging loosely around his neck. His slightly upturned eyes made him look a little sloppy.
He opened a bottle of wine. "Want a drink?"
Yue Xiangli leaned back in the chair, loosened his sleeves, and unbuttoned his shirt with half-closed eyes, "Pour it out."
“When can we completely control Zhencheng?” Shen Dingwei poured him a glass of wine.
"Zhencheng is a complicated place with many factions in the government and foreigners are also involved. Let's wait for another two months for my people to find out who is behind the factions and who is eyeing Zhencheng."
Zhencheng is located on the main north-south transportation route. Many forces want to take it down, but they are not as bold as Li.
"Cheng Biao signed a treaty with the foreigners before, transferring the ownership of the mine outside the city and the right to live in Wuxi Minxiang in the city. There are a lot of raw materials in the mine."
Yue Xiangli raised his glass and said, "I understand. The treaty was signed by the government. It is not easy for me to interfere. After a while, I will completely control Zhencheng and then abolish the treaty."
"I do not recognize any unequal treaties signed by the old forces."
Shen Dingwei nodded, "I came back from Linshan Province, and the fighting has already started over there. It's the Fang faction that's expanding, and the Cheng faction is losing ground."
"The three eastern provinces of Qing are very lucrative, and the Fang family will definitely be envious. You should be prepared."
"When have you ever dared to slack off?" Yue Xiangli put down his wine glass and looked at him. "How about coming to my place? There's a vacant position for the chief of staff."
“Okay, you can get such a high position right away?” Shen Dingwei poured him another glass of wine and raised his glass.
Yue Xiangli touched him and said, "You deserve it, but I don't care how to make them obey."
“Okay.” Shen Dingwei drank the wine in the glass and suddenly sighed, “Xiang Li, when will this country be stable?”
"Take back sovereignty and drive out foreign enemies. Only when we are strong can we achieve stability."
Shen Dingwei took a long breath and poured more wine, “Then I wish the country to be stable soon.”
After eating for a while, Shen Dingwei asked again: "When do you plan to let me take office?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'm going out of town to pick up my fiancée tomorrow. We plan to get married next month."
"Congratulations."
Shen Dingwei looked at him for a while, "Two years ago, I asked you if you had any plans to start a family, and you said that the country is not stable, so how can you have a family? Do you still think so now?"
Yue Xiangli raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Let it be."
He doesn't really believe in fate, and believes that everything depends on human efforts.
