"Special envoy, after my subordinates complete their mission, will they return immediately or stay there?"
Wu Jun asked very carefully about the details of the mission.
Yong Shijing looked at him and felt that Wu Jun and Quan Lin were indeed similar. They were both careful people. The key was that the two of them were the same age. It was really a coincidence.
"Our people outside the city are going to carry out a 'bandit suppression operation', so just stay there and practice with our people!
It's been a few years since the last battle like this. It's a rare learning opportunity for you, so you might as well experience it."
"Special envoy, can my subordinates participate in the 'bandit suppression operation'?"
When Wu Jun heard that Yong Shijing said that the people he met out of the city were going to launch a "bandit suppression operation", he was a little excited and eager to try it out.
"You want to join the fight, don't you?"
"Yes, special envoy. I want to fight these bandits with real swords and guns to eliminate harm to the people of Tonglu."
"Since it is a combat operation, there will be dangers.
This bullet doesn't have a long eye. Going to the battlefield is not like playing house, so you have to think about it.
I allow you to observe the 'Operation Suppression of Bandits', but I do not allow you to participate in the battle. Don't incur danger for the sake of temporary pleasure."
Yong Shijing reminded Wu Jun seriously.
"Special envoy, this is my first time on the battlefield, but I am just a spectator. I am really unwilling to do so.
The subordinate assured the special envoy that he would pay attention to safety.
In battle, he will obey orders and never act rashly.
Just allow your subordinates to participate in direct combat with the enemy!"
Wu Jun begged softly.
Xie Shizhen knew that Wu Jun was Yong Shijing's correspondent. Looking at his current situation, he seemed to be Yong Shijing's confidant, so he couldn't help but look at him twice.
Thinking about the impassioned words Wu Jun said when he was in Jinpu, he felt that there was such a courageous person in the Ministry of Health, and he was impressed by him at that time.
Now, seeing that he is taking the initiative to participate in the frontline battle of the "Operation Suppression of Bandits", I feel a little sad that it is not a big deal.
Xie Shizhen saw that although Yong Shijing had not agreed to Wu Jun's request, her expression was not very serious, so he guessed that Yong Shijing's intention was to let Wu Jun exercise.
Thinking of this, Xie Shizhen said: "Special envoy, this young man is full of energy. It is a good time for him to exercise his courage and increase his knowledge.
Now, since Xiao Wu has the idea of killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, why not let him go and take advantage of this opportunity to let him experience some things.
Besides, today's action is not a common training opportunity. It would indeed be a pity if you miss it.
I think you also have this idea, otherwise why didn't you let Xiao Wu return immediately after he completed the task of sending letters and docking?"
Xie Shizhen's words indeed spoke to Yong Shijing's mind. He did have the idea of letting Wu Jun go to the battlefield and actually experience the rain of bullets.
He believes that if Wu Jun undergoes a cruel baptism of battle, he will definitely be reborn, which will be a great promotion for his growth.
But Yong Shijing was also hesitant because he was worried about the complicated situation on the battlefield and was afraid that if something unexpected happened, a "good seedling" would be destroyed. He didn't want to take this risk.
Xie Shizhen saw that Yong Shijing did not answer his words, so he said: "Special envoy, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without a cold to the bone?"
Just like a fisherman, if his children are not allowed to actually board a boat and go to sea, cross rivers and lakes, how can he know the changes in water properties, the timing of fishing and floods, the weather and solar terms, and the rough waves?
Special envoy, please don’t be reluctant, I believe in Xiao Wu’s cleverness and everything will be fine.”
Listening to Xie Shizhen's words, Yong Shijing smiled and said to Wu Jun: "Okay! You are allowed to participate in the battle, but when you are on the battlefield, you can't be distracted. You must be smart and brave, dare to fight hard, and don't embarrass me.
.”
"Yes, I will never embarrass the special envoy. I will definitely behave well and will not be a coward."
When Wu Jun saw that Yong Shijing had agreed to actually participate in the "bandit suppression operation", Wu Jun was extremely happy and excitedly promised Yong Shijing.
Yong Shijing smiled at Xie Shizhen and said: "Xie Shizhen, you see, this young man is very courageous. When he heard that he could participate in the battle, he was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. It really reminds me of the past.
Some things, some emotions!”
"What the special envoy said is that we all came here when we were young, so we know that youth has advantages.
Everyone says that 'a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers'. This young man who is strong and full of energy is full of energy. Isn't it a good time to make achievements?
Unlike my subordinates, who are now 'growing horns but afraid of wolves', they are more calm than aggressive."
Listening to Xie Shizhen's words of praise for young people and his last words of self-deprecation, Yong Shijing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this time, Quan Lin appeared at the door. Seeing Yong Shijing smiling happily, he also pursed his lips and smiled without interrupting them.
It turned out that he had already received the telegram of instructions from Yong Ming, and as agreed, he rushed over to ask Yong Shijing to read it next door.
Yong Shijing felt very comfortable after being amused by Xie Shizhen's words. When he was about to ask Wu Jun to see if Yong Ganping was awake, he suddenly saw Quan Lin standing at the door. He knew that Yong Ming's telegram had arrived, so he stood up and said with understanding.
: "Officer Xie, please wait a moment while I go to deal with the telegram and official documents, and I will also have someone pick up the 'body armor'.
Although we can't go on the field to kill the enemy like the boys, as the leading generals, we still have to go into battle.
'The general is the soul of the army'. By protecting you, half of the security objectives of the command post will be achieved.
Do you think so?"
"What the special envoy said is that my subordinates are grateful for the special envoy's care and protection, and will definitely lead the people to do a good job in the defense and stability of the command post."
Xie Shizhen also stood up and said confidently.
After Yong Shijing went out, Xie Shizhen, who stayed in the room, continued to communicate with Wu Jun.
Although he had never personally participated in an operation, nor had he ever witnessed the use of real swords and guns, even the conflict that nearly led to chaos at his guard station today was the first time in his life that he had personally experienced the use of firearms.
However, his parents and ancestors are experienced action experts, most of whom have "licked blood on the tip of a knife and waded in the sea of fire."
After all, it was the darkest and chaotic era in China after the "Opium War". The Qing government was weak and incompetent externally, losing power and humiliating the country. Internally, it exploited and oppressed the people, and its officials were corrupt. The people of China were in dire straits, and banditry was rampant everywhere.
The "Liuquan Guards" were ordered to be sent abroad. During the process of establishing the station, the difficult situation they faced was beyond the imagination of their juniors.
