Chapter 165

After receiving a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Jishi, Chief of Staff Chen Shizheng and Adjutant Zhang Yingnian all realized clearly that it was time for him to return to the Central Army sequence.

Chiang Kai-shek specially organized four brigades of the pursuit and suppression column, which was obviously the final decision made after careful consideration and overall measurement. This also means that after this battle, Yu Jishi was able to obtain at least one or two regular military divisions of the Central Army. Why didn't this news make Yu Jishi and his generals and officers excited?

However, Yu Jishi, who was becoming more and more mature and steady, still keenly saw Chiang Kai-shek's profound intentions from it, so he seriously warned Chen Shizheng and Zhang Yingnian:

"Although the return is imminent, our eyes should still be long-term. The reason why the principal gave us temporary numbers for four brigades instead of giving us regular division numbers directly means that the division level number is still to be decided."

"I think everyone knows what's going on... After the Central Plains War, the principal, in order to stabilize the miscellaneous troops that were attached to various places and to eliminate the rapidly growing Communist armed forces as soon as possible, also needed to join forces with regular military numbers. Therefore, he has been silently enduring the swaying position. He is serious corruption and bad military discipline continues to exist. He would rather give out a large amount of military expenditure and push them directly to the front line of encirclement and suppression than reorganize these miscellaneous troops who only know how to impose poverty and pay bribes, and are afraid of death and have self-respecting troops, for fear of causing chaos and causing criticism from the opposition again. It can be seen that the principal is so pressured and has good intentions."

"But the situation will soon be different. Judging from all aspects, the destruction of the Communist Red Army is a foregone conclusion. The principal will soon be able to free up his hands to manage the chaotic army well, and it has begun to proceed silently. This is the fundamental reason why the principal gave us the temporary number of four brigades... It can be said that the principal also placed his earnest expectations on us. Do you understand?"

Yu Jishi's words made Chen Shizheng and Zhang Yingnian feel enlightened, and suddenly realized how heavy the task he was on.

Chen Shizheng said solemnly: "In this way, Wu Ming and his second brigade cannot let go. At present, we only have two brigades in our hands. Even if we are incorporating six local security groups in Shangrao, Jiangxi, which are not satisfied with the organization, they can only add one brigade at most. Moreover, the newly added brigade has basically no combat effectiveness. Looking at the local armies of Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, Wu Ming's second brigade is the strongest."

"Yes, I agree... Wu Ming is really amazing, and Wu Ming's military training skills are absolutely outstanding. With Wu Ming, we don't need to worry about recruitment and training of troops." Zhang Yingnian also missed Wu Ming.

"well--"

Yu Jishi sighed long and said, "I don't know the importance of Wu Ming's brigade. To put it simply, Wu Ming can be the only one who can defeat a division, but it's not sweet. Although I can call Wu Ming's brigade out of the Zhejiang military system with one order and force Wu Ming to his side, no one can do anything if Wu Ming makes trouble.

"This guy is completely different from ordinary people. He is soft but not hard, and he is very cunning. Since the beginning of the year, I have been thinking about how to incorporate him, but I still can't come up with a practical and good way, which is a headache."

Zhang Yingnian was also afraid of Wu Ming's cunning and formidableness, and rubbed his hands and sighed.

Chen Shizheng suddenly remembered something and immediately told Yu Jishi: "I heard it a few days ago. After Fang Youchun took office, he was facing a mess left by Lu Zhongxiu. The Finance Bureau of the Quzhou Administrative Administration, which originally had annual surplus, was only less than 50,000 oceans left on the books. There were serious problems with fiscal expenditure and tax revenue, and it was difficult to pay salary."

"Fang Youchun is very real. Not only did he not shirk responsibility, nor did he fire or rectify any officials. Instead, he took it silently and led a group of grateful officials to eat and sleep for three months. The financial situation finally improved, but the fundamental problem was still unable to be solved."

"So, Fang Youchun, who was helpless, could only ask Wu Ming to hand over the tax collection rights of Jiangshan, Changshan and Kaihua to the Quzhou Administrative Office.

"Is this happening?" Zhang Yingnian was very surprised.

Yu Jishi immediately understood what Chen Shizheng meant. He had also heard of Fang Youchun and Wu Ming quarreled over the tax collection right, but he didn't know what the specific situation was.

At Yu Jishi's gesture, Chen Shizheng smiled and continued to introduce: "Wu Ming is very cunning. At the beginning, he discussed with his brother-in-law very kindly. He gave many reasons and was very sufficient. He promised that he would not occupy the tax rights of the three counties in western Zhejiang for a long time. After all, it was just a temporary measure to hand over the tax rights to him for military expansion and bandit suppression. It would be unreasonable to occupy it all the time, but he couldn't bear to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month."

"It is estimated that Wu Ming wanted to delay this year before talking about it, so he suggested that Fang Youchun recover the water and land checkpoint that was gradually revoked after taking office, and then cancel it when life is better. But Fang Youchun is not so easy to fool. His honest personality and serious style are known to the entire Zhejiang officialdom. He quickly discovered his brother-in-law's delaying strategy and he lost his temper for this."

"At the beginning of last month, Fang Youchun suddenly notified Wu Ming to attend a meeting. In front of all military and political officials, he issued a written order to Wu Ming that he must return the tax rights of the three counties in western Zhejiang without any condition before the end of September. Otherwise, he would be forced to take them back when they expire. This immediately angered Wu Ming. The guy sneered on the spot: I want to see who dares to move, so that those who are not afraid of death can come."

"After making a harsh talk, Wu Ming left in a daze, never visited Fang Youchun's house again, nor attended any meetings of the Quzhou Administrative Office. Even his father-in-law was angry on his birthday, which made Fang Youchun scream and spoke at the birthday party. If Wu Ming did not put the overall situation first, continued to do his own thing and force the people's money and ointment, Fang Youchun would break off diplomatic relations with this selfish warlord."

After hearing this, Zhang Yingnian stretched her eyebrows and laughed: "God helps me too."

Yu Jishi was shocked: "Okay, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity. The four direct companies of Wu Ming's Second Brigade have just been expanded into direct battalions. The total number of officers and soldiers in the brigade is nearly 7,000. If he does not have the tax revenue from the three counties in western Zhejiang, no matter how capable he has, he will not be able to last until the end of the year. Only by joining our central military system can he bear the monthly salary expenses of no less than 180,000 yuan. Otherwise, only disarmament can only survive. This is absolutely unbearable for Wu Ming, who has worked hard for many years to train a strong army."

Chen Shi sighed at the high five, "That's more important than that, Fang Youchun's request is very legitimate. If you really want to make a fuss, the provincial government and our security office will stand on Fang Youchun's side, and they will inevitably receive support from the vast majority of people in western Zhejiang and even Zhejiang Province. If Wu Ming does not want the good reputation he has established over the years to collapse overnight, he can only choose to compromise with Fang Youchun. Moreover, I firmly believe that no matter how high-profile Wu Ming yells or loudly, he will not be sorry for the people in western Zhejiang. Just look at the good relationship between his Second Brigade and the people, you will know that Wu Ming can still distinguish the importance."

At this time, the confidential adjutant sent Wu Ming's call back. Yu Jishi laughed after reading it: "My mother, this Wu Ming is indeed a profiteer. Give him all the money. Isn't it just five new Siemens radio stations? Isn't it equivalent to me using it? Anyway, it's all in my hands, haha."

Chen Shin-chung smiled after receiving the message: "This guy... might as well do this. When he comes, he will talk about it. It will take about ten days to lead the team to play the game. Our departure preparation time will take about ten days. There are ten days enough time to do his ideological work. In the dilemma, we will reach out to pull him. Does he have any other choice?"

Yu Jishi happily patted the table: "It's settled. When he comes, I'll invite him to drink. See how he, the monkey, escaped from my Wuzhi Mountain, haha."

At 1:30 noon the next day, Wu Ming and Yu Jishi's second division spy brother Lian rushed from the Fenghuang Mountain base to the command center that was still retained in the north camp in Quzhou. He planned to have a short rest after dinner and take the train at 3:30 in the afternoon to go directly to Hangzhou. After meeting Yu Jishi, he started basketball training.

Wu Ming is in a very bad mood recently and wants to go crazy on the court and vent his accumulated anxiety through the game.

After using up late lunch, Wu Ming was about to call his pregnant wife at Changshan's home to greet him when he saw Chen Zuliang, deputy commander of the Third Guard Company who was left here, leading Mrs. Fang and her cute niece in.

Wu Ming didn't have to think about it and knew that Chen Qian, who was hiding in the next military station, had informed him. Before he could think too much, he smiled and picked up his cute niece and teased him: "Yo, little Nannan is getting more and more beautiful. Who has tied you such an ugly braid?"

The four-year-old niece held Wu Ming's face, looked at it carefully, pouted her beautiful little mouth, and asked in a slight voice: "Uncle, my brother and I miss you, but my mother said, Dad has made you angry, and you will not come to our house in the future, right?"

"Nonsense, Badao, I'm very busy recently, I don't have time, I'll go to Hangzhou Gongyu again later. Let's talk about it after I come back... If our little baby has time, I'll ask my mother to take you to Grandpa and Grandpa Changshan for a few days in a while. When my uncle comes back, won't we meet?" Wu Ming muddled the child with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Fang was worried: "Brother, what are you talking about in your family? Your brother has not had a good time to live. He didn't say anything about losing weight, and he sighed all night and couldn't sleep. If this continues, he may fall down. Can you discuss it with him calmly? Sister, please."

Wu Ming sighed and handed the child to Mrs. Fang, looking at her bell, nodding slightly:

"Okay, there is still an hour left. I'll go see him now... Actually, my requirements are not high, just let him slow down. If it doesn't work, it will be half of the monthly taxes first, and I will give them to him completely on January 1 next year. But he is so arrogant and can't turn the corner. Oh sister, go back, I know how to do it."
