An Yi spends every day in a race against time. He is constantly worried about the secret operations on the Hunan-Jiangxi border, and military recruitment and training matters cannot be separated from him. In addition, the Swedish Dahua Company's first bridge pier cofferdam has been successfully prepared with a sinking
Well casting base, three arsenal workshops that have been put into use and a bullet production workshop under construction, a series of military products that have been successfully trial-produced and are about to be finalized, a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the canning factory affiliated to the grain and oil company to be put into operation, and the construction and enrollment of medical schools and polytechnics
, the urban development plan jointly formulated by the old Nanchang County Government and the Chamber of Commerce, etc., An Yi will inevitably be present. Every day, he must be ready to listen to General Zhu Peide's call to make suggestions for him, as well as Deng Wenyi and others from the Nanchang branch of the Huangpu Alumni Association.
Solve difficulties and fulfill your obligations.
Yin Jinan's marriage was finally completed. Two days after returning, he took the elder Lao Shoudao away and rushed to Chizhou, Anhui Province to meet the bride with great expectations. What made An Yi very happy was that Yin Jinan's father-in-law Duan Chenghuai had promised to be a Nanchang sergeant after the Spring Festival.
He teaches at the school. As a Confucian general of the Anhui clan who has experienced hundreds of battles, his experience will definitely promote the younger generations and further enrich the teaching staff of the non-commissioned officer school.
Gu Changfeng, who had returned from Hangzhou a long time ago and was currently traveling with others, was also very proud of himself and worked very hard. He couldn't hide his joy every time he talked to An Yi on the phone. This time he personally sent Zhou Ruoting home, and she was able to do it quickly.
His elegant demeanor, solid knowledge of Chinese studies and good flute skills passed the preliminary review of Zhou Ruoting's parents. You must know that the day before his departure, An Yi specially asked for him a seat on the military and political council of the provincial government from General Zhu Peide. This
With such a moderate name, the Zhou family, who had long known about his status as a tiger general in the Northern Expedition, quickly recognized the identity of this potential son-in-law, a powerful but polite Confucian general with both civil and military skills. They also readily agreed that Zhou Ruoting and Gu Changfeng
They came back together to teach at the Rongjun Primary School in old Nanchang, and their wedding is scheduled for next spring.
Yang Bin and Xia Jian have been working overload. The two tungsten mines obtained by Hao Hao have been successfully mined. The three surrounding tungsten mines jointly owned by General Zhu Peide and local celebrities are also in full production. The tasks of mining area safety and mineral transportation safety,
The Security Command is responsible for maintaining social order in Fengcheng and other four counties, and building middle schools and primary schools. It also has to keep an eye on the small-scale battles that are taking place frequently in southern Jiangxi, southwest Jiangxi, and southeastern Jiangxi. Therefore, apart from Zhan Huanqi, who can
Apart from staying with An Yi to help, the other brothers were all on their own and very busy.
Therefore, An Yi could only take down all the matters and deal with them with all his concentration. Fortunately, the military textbooks have been proofread and are being printed and bound into volumes. The printing plant of the Nanchang branch of Oriental News Agency is in old Nanchang. An Yi
It can save a lot of time to do things.
Seeing that Principal Jiang's wedding ceremony was about to be held in five days, An Yi, after much consideration, finally made up his mind not to rush to Shanghai to attend in person. Firstly, he really couldn't spare the time, and secondly, this kind of icing on the cake was more for him than for him.
Many, President Chiang is now busy preparing for his reinstatement, surrounded by hundreds of influential figures and military generals across the country. Even the rebellious He Yingqin sent a message to the whole country to support Commander-in-Chief Chiang's reinstatement, not to mention other military commanders.
Already flocking to it like a duck.
An Yi knew very well that even if he rushed there in person, the most he could do was drink a glass of wine and meet with Chiang Kai-shek, and then explain his attitude after complaining, and then he would be pestered by hundreds of brothers.
It is impossible to come back in five days, and these three to five days plus the time back and forth are so precious to An Yi at this moment, and how many things require him to do it himself!
It's okay not to go, but you can't go without gifts. Let's put aside other relationships for the time being. As a student and a former loyal subordinate, you have to show something. An Yi, who was thinking hard, finally decided to send a complete set of gifts that were different from
Gifts from everyone. This time, Principal Jiang married into the Song family and became brother-in-law with the wealthy conglomerate Kong Xiangxi. He had no shortage of money or antiques, cars, and mansions, so the cliché of giving money and plaques was automatically filtered by him.
An Yi, who had made up his mind, took time out every day to go to the dense forest facing the water on three sides of the city. He spent time with his increasingly arrogant general, Xiao Hu, the chief weapon manufacturing expert of the ordnance factory, and worked hard with the spirit of excellence and pursuit of perfection.
With a perfect attitude, he carefully crafted several imitation and improved firearms that were being produced and processed like works of art. He also had to take the time to go to the military uniform factory to inspect the production of a complete set of specially customized clothing, even the blue sky and white sun badge on the hat.
He meticulously checked the accuracy of the embroidery.
On this day, An Yi, accompanied by Xie Yuqing, the director of the military uniform factory, had just walked out of the factory gate. Lin Yaodong, the guard chief, came up and reported in a low voice:
"Commander Shi and Deputy Regiment Mo of the Fourth Garrison Regiment stationed in Gao'an came to visit and are currently drinking tea and waiting in the office of the non-commissioned officer base."
"Why are they here? Could it be that something happened over there in Xixi?" An Yi's heart moved, and he quickly bid farewell to Factory Director Xie and hurried back to the base. As soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hands to greet the two old friends who stood up:
"Brother Shi, Brother Mo, it's really you! Welcome, welcome, you two brothers made me wait for you! It's been so long since I haven't been here to sit here, I'm really out of touch! What happened to shopkeeper Zhao last time
I haven’t thanked the two brothers yet!”
"General, you're welcome, you're welcome! The subordinates and officers and soldiers were extremely touched by the entire truckload of supplies and two hundred boxes of cigarettes sent by the general. Coupled with the previous life-saving grace, Shi is ashamed!"
Shi Zhen, who had a needle-shaped beard on his cheeks, saw that An Yi was so peaceful and approachable. His slightly serious expression couldn't help but relax. He immediately shook An Yi's hand excitedly and thanked her repeatedly. The regimental deputy Mo Ronggao saluted and smiled.
Stretch out your hands with a smile on your face.
An Yi held Morong Gao's hands and became unhappy: "Brothers, if you don't see anyone outside, just call me little brother. If you see someone outside, just call me Boss An. What's the point of calling me like that now?
"
Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao were stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, and immediately changed their words and called "Xiandi" affectionately. Without saying anything, An Yi loudly ordered the car to be prepared and headed to Lao Hantou's Sichuan restaurant. When they walked to the door, they saw Shi Zhen and the two of them.
He brought a platoon of followers and immediately ordered Lin Yaodong to take the brothers to a Sichuan restaurant to have a drink. At the same time, Chen Mian was asked to call Hu Zi and Shen Fengdao, who had been spending time in the pharmaceutical factory recently, and they went out to drink together.
A group of people arrived at the restaurant, and Lao Hantou had already greeted them. An Yi finished the introduction and asked Lao Hantou if he could cook Guizhou cuisine? Lao Hantou patted his increasingly thick chest and said it was a trivial matter. Bosses, please go upstairs first.
After sitting down for a while, the dishes were served one after another without the effort of a bowl of tea. The enthusiasm from top to bottom immediately moved the two troubled brothers Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao.
After three glasses of wine, Shen Fengdao and Hu Hu hurried over. Everyone exchanged greetings and raised their glasses again. A few ounces of wine went down without even taking a bite of the food. The upright Shi Zhen burped and thanked her repeatedly in embarrassment.
An Yi put a piece of spicy roasted fish for each of the two brothers, indicating to everyone that they could do whatever they wanted, and started eating without any politeness. After moving a few chopsticks, he saw Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao looking very preoccupied but hesitating to speak. With such a look, An Yi couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked quickly: "The two brothers must have something on their minds. If you think I can help in some way, just ask, otherwise this meal will not be comfortable."
Shi Zhen smiled awkwardly, looked at each other with Mo Ronggao, sighed and told the truth honestly:
"To be honest, brother and everyone, I am indeed encountering a problem now. As our army's strength has increased greatly in the past few months, the newly formed 3rd Division and 6th Regiment will soon be stationed in Shanggao. Seeing that I am guarding the four The regiment is about to be transferred back to Nanchang West Camp for retraining and reorganization. Everyone in our regiment is very worried after receiving the order!
Everyone is good friends with Yi Gong and the commanders and division commanders of our three armies. You must all know that now only my brother and I are left in the Fifth Route Army. This garrison composed of brothers from my hometown in Guizhou will be dismantled sooner or later. , but if we are really dispersed and sent to other departments, the little nostalgia we have will be gone from now on. Although Yi Gong and the officers at all levels treat us well and never lack military pay or food, drink and care, but... alas! Man, I’m so upset!”
An Yi pondered for a while and nodded slowly: "Brother Shi and Brother Mo, do they want their younger brother to help intercede? Or they should not reorganize and split up and keep the entire unit, or simply not let the third division and sixth regiment go up. Gao squeezes your territory..."
Mo Ronggao quickly shook his head: "No no! Thank you for your kindness, brother Xian. We know that as long as you take action, Yi Gong will not refuse to agree. But even if the team is still preserved and not separated, or even worse, our current station is retained, but we I still feel bad! The mountains and rivers here are so good, how can I have my own hometown?
To be honest, my troops have been away from home for a long time, their military morale has fluctuated, and all two thousand brothers in the regiment have become homesick."
An Yi looked at Shen Fengdao and Hu Jialin who were smiling and silent, then turned to Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that these two brothers and the brothers from the Fourth Regiment want to go back to their hometown of Guizhou to seek development?"
Shi Zhen's cheeks turned red and she nodded apologetically: "Although we are embarrassed to say this, we really mean it in our hearts, but... we just don't dare to speak it to Jun Zuo and Yi Gong rashly! Jun Zuo, Yi Gong The father-in-law and other officers have been extremely kind and righteous to us brothers in the Guizhou Army who have no parents and no parents, but we have to wear the clothes they gave us and carry the guns they gave us to go home. This... I really can't say anything! But if I don’t open my mouth, the team is about to break up, and I feel really embarrassed..."
An Yi analyzed the pros and cons, and couldn't help but feel moved when he thought of the current situation in Guizhou. He quickly motioned to the two of them to take it easy, and ordered Shen Fengdao and Hu Hu to have a few drinks with the two brothers. He apologized and walked downstairs to the counter. , picked up the phone and dialed Zhu Peide's home directly. Zhu Peide happened to be at home, so An Yi reported the situation to Zhu Peide truthfully.
The kind-hearted Zhu Peide was silent for a moment, sighed, and asked An Yi to tell Shi Zhen: Follow his wishes wherever he goes!
An Yi quickly comforted Zhu Peide in a low voice and expressed his thoughts. He believed that letting Shi Zhen and the others go back would do more good than harm. Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao were not pedantic people. Maybe they could dominate one side after they returned.
, after all, the king of Guizhou Zhou Xicheng is currently fighting fiercely with Long Yun of Yunnan. Shi Zhen and Morong Gao were originally from Bijie County in western Guizhou, which connects Sichuan and Yunnan provinces and is the main producer of many precious medicinal materials and opium.
District, if the two people's fortunes gradually develop, maybe they can exchange information and become a helper in the future.
Zhu Peide thought about it carefully and believed that An Yi's words were reasonable. The departure of two thousand people would not cause any substantial damage to his army. On the contrary, it would eliminate unrest. Now that he has a strong army, he no longer cares about this group of people. He might as well just be a favor.
They could still gain a good reputation, so they happily agreed and generously stated that this month's military pay would be paid in advance so that they could have some travel expenses. As for the light weapons and ammunition, they could just take them with them.
An Yi said goodbye to Zhu Peide with a knowing smile, put down the phone and went upstairs to tell Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao the good news.
Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao did not expect that the matter would be resolved so quickly and so perfectly. They were so moved that they had tears in their eyes. They both stood up and bowed to An Yi with fists in their hands.
An Yi quickly stopped him and pushed the two of them back to their seats with great effort. He held down Shi Zhen's hand that was reaching for the wine bottle and asked them in a low voice if they should rush to Nanchang City now to thank Zhu Peide in person?
The two of them suddenly understood and stood up immediately. An Yi asked Chen Mian to drive the two of them into the city. After meeting Zhu Peide, he immediately came back to continue drinking. He also said that he would give the two brothers a small gift to show their appreciation before they left.
The words moved Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao, who were already deeply moved, almost to tears.
An Yi and his brothers put the two of them in the car and returned upstairs. Shen Fengdao smiled at An Yi and asked in a low voice: "You must have something planned. Let's talk about it, okay?"
An Yi nodded: "Last month, Zhou Xicheng, who had always had the upper hand in the Guizhou-Dian War, attacked Qujing and pushed towards Kunming and was suddenly defeated. The two Yunnan generals who originally rebelled against Long Yun and surrendered to Zhou Xicheng defected to Long Yun again, causing
Zhou Xicheng returned in a disastrous defeat. Zhou Xicheng was furious. When he came back, he killed his guard battalion commander Gu Changwu and a family of twenty-seven, including children and adults. This matter was published in the "Declaration", so everyone must know it.
I analyze that Zhou Xicheng is so lackadaisical that he will definitely make all his officers and soldiers feel insecure and alienated from their moral integrity. All the forces that were originally forced to hide in the mountains by him will definitely come together to attack, and the situation in Guizhou will become fragmented again. At this time
The two eldest brothers, Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao, are likely to find a place in these troubled times when they return with their troops. As long as they can get some necessary support, they may be able to dominate one side and gradually grow stronger. Therefore, why don't we do this favor?
?It will be beneficial to us if it works, and we won’t lose much if it doesn’t work, right?”
Hu Jialin's eyes lit up, and then he pointed at An Yi and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? These two brothers are both from Qianxi. I seem to have heard you talk about the phosphate mines, coal mines, and iron mines in Qianxi more than once.
There are a lot of mines, copper mines and silver mines, but no one is mining them, right?"
An Yi was unmoved and spoke righteously: "Go, go, don't talk about my loyalty so philistinely. When did I become such a snobbery in your eyes?"
Shen Fengdao and Hu Jialin looked at each other, and then laughed.
