Xu Enzeng is very efficient in his work.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, his deputy director of the office, Guo Weili, knocked on the door of Room 301 of Jinling Hotel, and after entering, he handed the sealed cowhide envelope to Wu Ming.

Maybe he found Wu Ming's resume, or maybe he saw Xu Enzeng's kind attitude towards Wu Ming, Guo Weili was very polite when he saw Wu Ming again. He took back the old certificate held by Wu Ming according to Xu Enzeng's order, explained apologetically and said goodbye politely.

Saying Guo Weili away, Wu Ming closed the door and opened the file, took out the 800-ocean cash check from Bank of China, and read the two brand new documents with blue covers for a while.

Wu Ming put away the check and opened the first document. He found that the cover and bottom of the document changed from blue paper to exquisite dark blue leather. The format inside also changed, becoming more neat and detailed. The inner page of the high-quality inner page also had a watermark of the party emblem. There was a clear steel seal on the lower corner of his photo. The issuing authority was still the General Affairs Office of the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang. There was a square seal and signature of Xu Enzeng. Wu Ming's position as deputy section chief remained unchanged, but the department became the fifth section of the General Affairs Office. The date of issuing the certificate was August 12, 1933, which is today.

Wu Ming put down his ID, picked up another one and opened it. He saw the format, the issuing authority, and the seal were the same. The person in the photo was Wang Yuehan, and the holder of the ID was Liza Wang, who was 22 years old and was the deputy chief clerk of the fifth department. The date of issuance was May 1, 1933, which was the day when the second phase of the Quzhou Training Base of the Central Party Committee opened.

Wang Yuehan became Liza Wang, Wu Ming's subordinate, and was promoted to another level.

Wu Ming did not continue to stay in Nanjing. He packed his luggage and rushed to Xiaguan Railway Station. He took the 4:30 train to Shanghai. He did sign a contract with the Belgian foreign company. In addition to purchasing two sets of multi-functional processing machine tools, five million US-made 045ACP bullets, six hundred tons of special steel and two models of mortar steel pipes, he also had to go to the German foreign company to buy twenty new industrial sewing machines and corresponding accessories.

On the evening of August 17, Wu Ming, who bought six large suitcases and gifts, returned to Hangzhou. Fang Youchun, who received the notice in advance, went to the train station to pick up people. When he saw the station porter carefully put six heavy imported suitcases at Wu Ming's feet, he asked curiously what good things were? When Wu Ming said that they were all gifts purchased for his family, Fang Youchun immediately pulled down and complained that Wu Ming should not be too big, he bent down to move the boxes with his adjutant Li Qian.

When she returned to Fang Youchun's house, Mrs. Fang and two little guys were still waiting for the meal. She was surprised to see the two big boxes of gifts given by Wu Ming. Mrs. Fang's reaction was the same as her husband. While complaining about Wu Ming spending money indiscriminately, she caressed the exquisite large suitcases imported from the UK, and even claimed that foreign goods were better than domestic goods.

Two little guys surrounded Wu Ming's open suitcase, took the exquisite toys and children's clothing that Wu Ming kept taking out, and shouted in excitement.

After the happy family dinner, Fang Youchun called Wu Ming to the study and told Wu Ming about the situation he had discussed repeatedly with the provincial government after several meetings:

"During this period, five military and political joint meetings were held. The provincial government made every effort to make things difficult for the first four times. Finally, we handed over the teaching team. The security division's staffing and personnel appointment plan were approved by Governor Lu Diping. The officers and soldiers of the teaching team, barracks and all equipment were taken away by him... Fortunately, Director Yu tried his best to defend himself and finally saved the camp in the west of the city and received compensation of 800,000 yuan from the provincial government."

Only then did Wu Ming realize that the province's secret struggle was so fierce, and he looked at Fang Youchun with concern: "You are not affected, are you?"

Fang Youchun smiled bitterly and said, "The influence must be there, but the most annoying thing this time is Director Yu, who was slapped by several directors under Lu Diping. It seems that we misunderstood Director Yu before. If he hadn't been with his strong backstage and with his strong backstage, our lives would have been even worse."

"This morning, several of our directors held a meeting. It is estimated that Director Yu also found out through investigation that the fourth regiment commander Chen Zhaoxian was not very peaceful. Before the meeting, he went to my office and asked about your relationship with Chen Zhaoxian. I told him truthfully that it was not bad before. Chen Zhaoxian was once the battalion commander of your commander, but since he was promoted to the commander of the fourth regiment, the relationship between you two has become very delicate. After you led your troops to Jiangxi to participate in the war, Chen Zhaoxian repeatedly reported and applied for the expansion of the army."

Wu Ming sighed, and felt panicked when he thought of Chen Zhaoxian's growing ambitions that he had cultivated.

Fang Youchun continued, "Director Yu nodded after hearing this, and said nothing. He put forward the opinions of reorganizing the teaching group during the meeting. Everyone has this idea. After all, the teaching group has a great role, but in the selection of the teaching group leader, Director Yu unexpectedly proposed that Chen Zhaoxian be the one, and that Chen Zhaoxian's four delegations should be transferred to Hangzhou."

"Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai, both of me were very surprised because the plan I had formulated before was to appoint you as the commander of the Second Brigade, and Chen Zhaoxian as the deputy commander and chief of staff. His fourth regiment continued to be stationed in Jiangshan. It was not until after hearing the new plan proposed by Director Yu that we understood..."

"What's going on?"

Wu Ming was anxious and he never vaguely involved in his own interests.

Fang Youchun smiled and said, "Director Yu proposed to appoint you as the brigade commander of the Second Brigade, take over Jiangshan defense and rebuild the Fourth Regiment. He believed that you, Wu Ming, have the ability and military achievements, are good at military training, and said that the total number of officers and soldiers of your 5th Regiment is as high as 2,600, and you can be divided into two regiments and recruit new recruits from two battalions to supplement them. Other shortages should also be re-recruited for unified training, instead of drawing other local security regiments to directly supplement the Second Brigade. He said that those local security regiments that were abolished or transferred to the police system were disbanded, had low abilities, and were unbearable to use. We agreed directly without discussion, but the candidate for deputy brigade commander and chief of staff he recommended was Liu Guoyong, the former combat staff officer of the Second Security Division, and you should know them."

Wu Ming was sensitively aware of Yu Jishi's profound intentions, not only without the joy of being promoted, but he felt very uncomfortable: "Liu Guoyong knew this person before when my troops went to Jiangxi to participate in the war. He was from Meixian, Guangdong. He graduated from Huangpu's third-year graduating from several famous battles. He was quite realistic, worked diligently, talked much, but was easy to talk... However, there are so many qualified school officials in our Zhejiang Army, why did he force Liu Guoyong, who was born in Huangpu, to me? Do you have no other ideas?"

Fang Youchun was quite helpless: "I have ideas to be useless. You don't know how powerful Director Yu is. He dares to argue with Lu Diping. What is my deputy director? Do you want me to say to him: Don't be the one who is Wu Ming, stay for our Zhejiang Army to make seeds?"

Wu Ming was amused and crying: "I found that you are becoming more and more rogue. You were not like this before."

Fang Youchun laughed: "It's not that you are influenced by your boy. Those who are close to the Imperial Palace are bad. But overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. At least all the wealthy taxes in the three counties in western Zhejiang are in your hands. The thousands of people you hide in Maoliangwu Mountain can come out with justification. With your means of a profiteer, you will definitely take the opportunity to make a fortune. What better result than this?"

"Even if Director Yu transfers you and your Second Brigade in the future, that's the future. Didn't you say that? He won't transfer you away for at least two years. There are two years to prepare for us, enough to build another division. I hope you will become a general soon."

Knowing that the wood was ready and could not be changed, Wu Ming had to choose to compromise and returned to bed and repeatedly considered the countermeasures.

In Building 1 of the Provincial Security Department Courtyard, which is less than 300 meters away from Fang Youchun's courtyard, Yu Jishi, who carried the child to bed, quickly returned to the study and continued his discussion with his chief of staff Chen Shizheng and his love general Liu Guoyong.

Liu Guoyong sat straight on the sofa, listening carefully to the conversation between the two senior brothers. Before he was called to Yu Jishi's house, he did not expect that he, a lieutenant colonel staff officer, would be appointed as deputy brigade commander and chief of staff of the Second Brigade of Zhejiang Security Division, and was both excited and nervous.

Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng talked about personnel adjustments in the security department, and turned to Liu Guoyong with a smile: "Jianhao, how do you feel about Wu Ming?"

Liu Guoyong was quite embarrassed: "I only had two meals with him during the siege of Jiangxi South City. I didn't have any deep conversations with each other. What impressed me most was his ability to lead troops and command level. I guess this person is also a scheming person and I don't know what will happen to working together in the future."

Yu Jishi and Chen Shi were smiling at each other, and Chen Shi said kindly: "Today I came to you to tell you the details of Wu Ming so that you can have a clear idea and know how to get along with Wu Ming in the future."

Chen Shi was then briefly telling Wu Ming's resume and personality, and finally reminded him: "Wu Ming has many common problems in local military generals and schools. He has a close relationship with the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce, the two largest chambers of commerce in western Zhejiang, and the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce. Not only does it monopolize most of the import and export industries in western Zhejiang and various factories and mines, but it is also smuggling sea salt tax evasion. We suspect that he has shares in the two chambers of commerce, but these are not important. Don't worry, let him go. Just establish good relations with Wu Ming and officers at all levels, master the unique training methods of Wu Ming's troops, and devote his energy to military and personnel, and don't ask anything else."

Seeing that Liu Guoyong was not very clear, Yu Jishi had to say clearly: "Remember two points: First, assist Wu Ming in managing the troops and master the training methods and combat characteristics of Wu Ming's troops as soon as possible; Second, establish good relations with Wu Ming and treat his officers and soldiers well, because Wu Ming's troops are the only army in the country that is good at mountain combat and training. Do you understand this force must be in our hands?"

Liu Guoyong immediately stood up: "I understand, thank you for your advice."

Yu Jishi signaled him to sit down: "Sword Heroes don't worry too much. Although Wu Ming has a tough personality and is not open-minded enough to say that he is serious, he has clear love and hate, values ​​affection and righteousness, and is reasonable and trustworthy. The most rare thing is that he is talented and creative, which are all things you must remember."

Liu Guoyong focused on the key points. He already knew what the ultimate goal of Yu Jishi sent him to Wu Ming.

Yu Jishi was not at ease and continued to introduce to Liu Guoyong: "The brothers and brothers on Mount Lu have written a lot of letters to me recently, and almost every letter talks about Wu Ming. Everyone didn't know Wu Ming before and was very annoyed by what he did. However, after finding out the truth and further understanding Wu Ming, everyone's opinions have almost changed, and they all admire his courage and loyalty."

"Now the new fortification construction method that has been quickly promoted to the entire army through the Lushan Officer Training Corps is Wu Ming's masterpiece. A second engineer lieutenant left before Wu Ming left Lushan, a sergeant performed very well, received unanimous praise from the instructor regiment and special commendation from the commission. Even the German consultant gave a thumbs up. The two were promoted to three levels in a row and became the technical bones of the direct engineering battalion. This shows how strong the creativity and technical ability of Wu Ming's troops are."

"So, after you arrive at the Second Brigade, don't act like a senior Huangpu. You should lower your attitude and study humbly. I believe in your ability, and I believe that you and Wu Ming will become good partners."

Liu Guoyong stood up again: "I will keep it in mind and will never let down my senior brother's trust and expectations."
