Chapter 51
: Promotion
After hearing Fu Qi's words, Long Jiguang also laughed for a while, but soon calmed down his smile. He seemed to say seriously: "Since the general said that, I also lack an adjutant, so I will directly promote Wushaoguan to be my adjutant. Since Wushaoguan has full potential, follow me to work hard and make this potential fully realize."
Wu Shaoting was a little surprised. Long Jiguang has always been a villain in history, but he didn't expect that this villain would have such a great courage and would promote himself to an adjutant in one breath. The highest level of the commanding adjutant is the third-rank title, which is equivalent to letting himself jump to level seven. Looking at the five thousand years of history of China, it seems that there is no such precedent for jumping to level seven.
More importantly, the adjutant is often the confidant of the chief official. Although there are sometimes more than one person in this position, and there are also differences between first-class, second-class and third-class, if there is no trustworthy relationship, how can you just come to the chief official casually?
He sighed, Long Jiguang was really unpredictable.
Fu Qi glanced at Long Jiguang, and the other party naturally didn't seem to be joking on this occasion. Although he had a good relationship with Long Jiguang, Wu Shaoting was a talent he had finally discovered and was about to be placed in the twenty-four towns directly under the General's Mansion. How could Long Jiguang be poached?
However, after Long Jiguang said this, he felt a sense of pressure. He originally planned to assign Wu Shaoting to the first bid of the 24th town of the New Army as a second-class staff officer, but Long Jiguang was obviously scheming and first tentatively offered a second-class staff officer, and then directly promoted him to the commanding adjutant. This clearly was using high-ranking officials to compete for talents.
"Zi Chen, do you really want to promote Zhenzhi to be your adjutant? Since that's the case, let Zhenzhi choose by himself." Fu Qi slowed down his tone and said leisurely. "Zhenzhi, this is a good opportunity. The adjutant in the command is not something that ordinary people can do. If you are willing to go to the Twenty-Three Towns, I will recommend you."
Of course, Fu Qi was practicing Tai Chi when he said this. He wanted to see if Wu Shaoting was a person who knew the current affairs.
Wu Shaoting was silent for a moment. He knew that Fuqi's words were a trick of trying to get. How could Fuqi let him go to Twenty-Three Towns? At the same time, he himself felt that there were many inconveniences in going to Twenty-Three Towns. First of all, would Long Jiguang really promote himself to be an adjutant? Secondly, Long Jiguang is difficult to deal with, and he has a great desire for power. He can only suppress him when he goes to Twenty-Three Towns. Third, Twenty-Three Towns has long been Long Jiguang's private army, and he has almost no room for development.
Immediately, he smiled and bowed to Long Jiguang, saying, "Mr. Long is grateful to the promotion of the last general. However, the last general has no achievements and no practical experience, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task. Furthermore, if the general has been kind to the last general, how can the last general betray the general and leave? Please forgive me, Lord.
Fuqi felt extremely relieved after hearing Wu Shaoting's words. He knew that the "gratitude" that Wu Shaoting said refers to helping to settle the incident that was committed by the following people not long ago. It seems that this young man is indeed affectionate and righteous, and it is worthwhile to cultivate himself.
However, Long Jiguang's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes staring at Wu Shaoting seemed very cold.
When Wu Shaoting saw this, he felt a stern. Could it be that Long Jiguang is so petty?
But soon, Long Jiguang's face stretched out again, he smiled happily, gave Wu Shaoting a thumbs up, and said, "Okay, very good. I just admire people like you, who are capable, talented, and loyal. Don't worry, I'm not a chick. If you can't make it with the general in the future, just come to Wuzhou to find me."
Wu Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief. Long Jiguang was really a weird person. He immediately thanked Long Jiguang and said, "Thank you for your respect, I will never forget it."
Fu Qi smiled and said to Long Jiguang: "Zi Chen, you have heard it too. Zhenzhi is unwilling to go to your 23rd Town. Since that's the case, Zhenzhi, Mr. Ji is my great benefactor. You have saved his daughter this time and have made great contributions. Given your outstanding ability and a top student studying abroad, I will promote you to be the second-class staff officer of the first and second-class team of the 24th Town, and also serve as the coach and inspector of the third battalion of the 24th Town."
After hearing this series of official positions, Wu Shaoting was probably much more secure than the commanding adjutant. He knew that the Twenty-Four Towns were a temporary army sequence in Guangdong, and the entire town was still in the process of being formed. The total force was currently less than 4,000, and there was no one to choose the town's command. It is conceivable that there is still a lot of room for development.
Fu Qi said again: "Although it is much inferior to Zi Chen giving you a commanding adjutant, you have to think about it carefully. There is no one in Guangdong who has just graduated from a military academy and can be promoted to second-class staff officer in less than a year. Young people must understand and be content. Do you understand?"
Wu Shaoting bowed and said solemnly: "The General of the Third People understands that the General will never dare to have any unnecessary and inappropriate thoughts, and only seeks to repay the General's kindness for his own heart."
Fu Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "You said it very well." He pointed to the second deputy chief officer who had not spoken on the right, and said, "This is Zhao Sheng, the first agent of the Twenty-four towns, whose courtesy name is Wenju. He is your boss. You will serve in his commander in the future."
Wu Shaoting immediately saluted Zhao Sheng again and said, "I have met Lord Zhao Biaotong, and I hope Lord Zhao will give me more advice in the future."
Zhao Sheng said lightly, "Yeah" and said, "Next month, you can come to the first bid report. At the end of the month, I will send someone to the Army Yamen to handle the negotiation procedures for you, and all the soft and hard equipment will be delivered to you. Now my 24 towns are still in the process of editing, and official duties are very busy, so I can't allow extra time to rest. Brother Wu, don't be surprised."
Wu Shaoting naturally didn't dare to be anything strange. He was still eager to go to the new army as soon as possible, so he bowed and said, "I will follow the instructions of the governor Biao and will never complain."
Fu Qi stopped and said, "Okay, shaking, you go back and prepare to take office first. You can give up the affairs of Shanziying these days. After Wen Ju arranges it for you, you can go to the first bid to report directly."
