The next day, Wu Shaoting returned to the officers' dormitory in the western suburbs from Taiping Gate.

It is not the first time that the back post of Shanzi Camp has no sentry officers. When no one was in command before, he could still guard the city gates and still be able to patrol. Therefore, Wu Shaoting's departure did not have any substantial impact, at most the emotional fluctuations of the soldiers.

Today is July 28th, and Wu Shaoting has four days to prepare, but there is almost nothing to prepare for, just waiting for the First Commander's Office to go through negotiation procedures with the Army Office.

That afternoon, Wu Shaoting found that his savings were almost done, with only some imperial marks and dollars left, so he planned to go to the bank to exchange these foreign currencies for silver dollars. As soon as he left the dormitory door, he met another officer on his face, and the two almost collided with each other.

The other party immediately stood at attention and saluted a new army.

Wu Shaoting looked closely and couldn't help but feel happy, saying, "Brother Ni? We can really meet you anywhere."

The visitor was Wu Shaoting’s fellow villager Ni Duan. After Ni Duan finished speaking, he smiled and said, “This time I came to see Lord Wu.”

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "I'm going to do this again. What are you not a lie? What are you not a lie? You're too dissatisfied."

Ni Duan curled his smile and said seriously: "Mr. Wu, it seems you don't know yet. The lower official belongs to the third battalion of the first 24 towns and serves as the teaching officer. However, from the day after tomorrow, the lower official will have to hand over the position of the teaching officer to Lord. The lower official will be entitled to the entitlement of the third battalion and will also serve as the ordnance officer of the camp."

The battalion manager's position as an assistant is actually the adjutant of the manager (battalion commander). However, because the chief manager's position as an agent is temporarily vacant, the adjutant has no official title, so he is appointed as an assistant.

Wu Shaoting suddenly realized that Ni Duan would be in the same army as him in the future. He laughed, reached out and patted Ni Duan on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Ni, I am just a second-class staff officer, not the battalion manager of the third battalion. You are now an adjutant of the battalion manager. If the battalion manager is not here, you are the one who is in charge. In terms of functions, we are at the same level."

The second-class staff officer is a military rank led by the assistant chief, belongs to the fourth-rank official, and is affiliated with the official position of the Taoist platform.

The battalion manager is also a military rank led by the co-sponsor, a fourth-rank official. Although Ni Duan is now just an unnamed adjutant, strictly speaking, only a deputy military academy rank, and a sixth-rank official is the same as a general magistrate. However, because the third battalion has no battalion officer for the time being, the power of his adjutant is completely equivalent to that of a battalion officer.

Ni Duan smiled and said, "Although the function is at the same level, the title is still high and low. Didn't Lord Wu say when he was training the back post of Shanziying that the most important rule in the army is that the subordinates obey the superiors. How dare I discuss it with Lord Wu?"

Wu Shaoting took a breath and said in surprise: "Brother Ni, how did you know that I trained the back whistle like this?"

Ni Duan laughed and said, "Mr. Wu, your deeds of training the back-sentences with new foreign exercises have long been spread in the new army. All the instructors in our 24 towns are wondering, the way Master Wu trains is very different from the way we receive. But looking at the expression after the back-sentences of Shanziying, it is obvious that Master Wu trains more effectively."

Wu Shaoting blinked and asked, "Is that true?"

Ni Duan nodded and said deeply: "Xiaguan specially visited Lord Wu today. How dare he lie as soon as he met? This matter has spread a long time ago. Xiaguan was one of the twelve instructors in the twenty-four towns. Every time we twelve people fucked, we would discuss Lord Wu's tricks."

He sighed and said unwillingly: "Our new army uses German-style practice, and Lord Wu is also a returnee from studying in Germany. Why is the effect of practice so different? "

Wu Shaoting shook his head helplessly and said, "It's no longer a new thing for foreigners to regard themselves as strange goods. Otherwise, the court wouldn't have sent us to study abroad. What I mastered is the latest practice method of the Macedonian Army of the German Empire, and added some of my own practice experience, so that we have achieved the current results."

In fact, the way he trained the back whistle was the practice of the People's Liberation Army in the 21st century, but in order to make it easier to explain, he had to pull out the Macedonian Army as a cover. Anyway, the Chinese team will never have any contact with the Macedonian Army in their lifetime, and no one will know the real inside story.

Ni Duan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I think so too."

After a while of silence, Wu Shaoting asked, "Brother Ni, you are looking for me today, why don't you just talk about these things?"

Ni Duan laughed and said, "Of course not. But you always call Xiaguan Brother Ni, so you can't afford to be granted by Xiaguan."

Wu Shaoting also laughed and said cheerfully: "What's the matter? I'm not in the military camp now and have never officially taken office. As the saying goes, Isn't it better to have a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and it's better to have a clear distinction between public and private affairs?"

Ni Duan smiled and said, "Brother Wu is indeed courageous, so I will no longer be polite. This time I came to see Brother Wu, I was entrusted by someone. I wonder if Brother Wu is convenient for him to speak now?"

Wu Shaoting was slightly stunned and thought to himself: So mysterious?

He turned around and opened the door of the dormitory, asked Ni Duan to come in, and then brought the door back.

"Brother Ni, you can talk now." He asked.

"At 2 pm tomorrow, there will be a teahouse called 'Dingji Tea Shop' at the intersection of the north side of Shamian Street in Chengnan. When you go, someone will pick you up at the door." Ni Duan said briefly.

Wu Shaoting was stunned for a moment, and soon came over and said, "It was Hu Zhantang, did Huang Keqiang send you here?"

Ni Duan was a little surprised and asked back, "Do you know Huang Keqiang?"

Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "I know Huang Keqiang has a close relationship with Hu Zhantang, and I also heard that he has been in Guangzhou for a long time. However, I still have no chance to see him."

Ni Duan said with a smile: "You will see him when you go to Ding Ji tomorrow."

Wu Shaoting looked at Ni Duan, calmed down, and then asked with a lukewarm smile: "Are you from the Tongmenghui?"

Ni Duan nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I participated in the Pingliuli Uprising two years ago, but unfortunately I failed. Then I changed my name to Guangzhou, met Mr. Zhan Tang and Mr. Zhixin, and joined the Tongmenghui under their introduction."

Wu Shaoting laughed and said, "I guessed that you are from the Tongmenghui. I was already puzzled when you sent your cousin Zhan's letter in person last time. Why didn't you confess your true identity to me before, but chose to be open and honest at this time today?"

Ni Duan sighed slowly, with a serious expression and said, "This time the matter is very special, and I am not afraid to tell you my true identity in advance. After you have met Ding Ji tomorrow, if everything goes well, then we will be like-minded comrades in the future. If it doesn't go well..."

"What will happen?" Wu Shaoting asked calmly.

"After all, you helped me with us, I believe that something bad will not happen." Ni Duan didn't say it thoroughly.

Wu Shaoting thought secretly. Hearing Ni Duan say this, it seemed that Hu Hanmin, Huang Xing and others were suspicious of him? However, he thought he had never done anything to be sorry for the Tongmenghui. Even if Li Fulin was arrested, it should not be considered as betraying the Tongmenghui. After all, he was "unaware of" this matter at all.

He nodded slowly and said, "I understand. Brother Ni, you can disclose your identity to me, which shows that you still trust me very much. Please rest assured, I, Wu Shaoting, is the blood of a seven-foot man. Although I don't understand the principles of revolution, I will never want to see the decaying Qing Tartars ruining my China."

Ni Duan sighed deeply and said, "Brother Wu, it would be best if you have such an idea."

After seeing Ni Duan away, Wu Shaoting was lazy to go out to exchange silver dollars.
