As a landowner, Zhu Peide was not surprised by the arrival of the inspection team, because he also returned from Nanjing by boat with the members of the inspection team.
During this trip, Zhu Peide attended the reinstatement ceremony of Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek and attended a three-day meeting in Nanjing. He also caught up with many old friends whom he had reunited after a long separation. Therefore, he stayed in Nanjing for nearly a week, during which Commander-in-Chief Chiang hosted two separate banquets.
We warmly entertained and discussed and exchanged opinions on the situation across the country and the whole party, as well as Jiangxi's economic development issues, bandit suppression issues and people's livelihood issues.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang expressed his deep gratitude to Zhu Peide for joining forces with He Yaozu, Ye Kaixin and other neutral forces that did not belong to any group at the most critical moment of the political struggle at the end of last year to send a message to the whole country and implore him, Jiang, to resume his post as soon as possible. Zhu Peide also benefited from his growing military strength.
His financial resources, political status and reputation have steadily increased, and he has become the target of major forces competing to win over him.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang had deep respect for Zhu Peide and relied on him a lot. He was very aware of the important role of this good old man who could change the strength comparison between the two camps today. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek did not conceal his decision to ask An Yi to come back to lead the troops and secretly communicated with Zhu Peide on this.
We negotiated for a long time and made generous concessions in many places to show our sincerity.
The pier was heavily guarded. An Yi led the groom Yin Jinan, the decision-making elites of the enterprise group Zhou Chongan, Zhang Xi, Zheng Jinglun, and the chairman of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce Zhou Dashanren. More than ten business and chamber of commerce leaders came to greet him in the snow.
Director Huang Yingwu of the Recruitment Department, who had just graduated from the Central Political School, and Deputy Director Chang Baofang led dozens of officers and soldiers to stand on the other side. Chang Baofang watched eagerly as An Yi and others were wearing casual clothes, talking in a low voice easily, but she could not
I went over to smoke a cigarette and chat, and I felt very uncomfortable.
Huang Yingwu at the front of the team turned around and saw the pitiful looks of Chang Baofang and his brothers, and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice:
"Grandma, why are you so anxious? You know you are acting, but you still act like this. Do you really think that Master has abandoned us? That's all you have to say..."
Chang Baofang raised his head unconvinced: "Parrot, who are you scolding, your grandson? It's in vain that you have studied political school for nearly a year, and you are still at this level. If you had known, it would have been better for me to be the teacher instead!"
The brothers couldn't hold it back and all laughed. Huang Yingwu chuckled. When he saw An Yi looking over with displeasure, he straightened his back quickly: "Quiet! Everyone shut their mouths and stand up. Whoever embarrasses me will be locked up for three days."
Confinement!”
The passenger ship stopped, and Jiang Dingwen and others, wearing gray revolutionary army winter general uniforms, appeared in the sight of An Yi and his brothers. An Yi on the dock was about to say hello loudly when he saw Zhu Peide appearing next to Jiang Dingwen, and the two exchanged words with each other.
Humility, in the end it was Zhu Peide who went first with a smile.
An Yi, Zhou Chong'an, and Shen Fengdao looked at each other with doubts. Without any time to discuss, they hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Zhu Peide respectfully. Then they held hands with their eldest brother Jiang Dingwen, looked at each other and laughed. Yin Jinan also greeted a group of Huangpu elders and
The senior brothers saluted warmly, and everyone went to the side to introduce each other. It took more than ten minutes before it came to an end.
An Yi very politely took Jiang Dingwen, Yu Jishi, He Zhonghan and others out of the circle, pointed to Huang Yingwu and dozens of officers and soldiers lined up in front, and whispered:
"Brother, fellow seniors, the officers and soldiers at the Nanchang Recruitment Office of the First Army have been waiting for a long time. You can go and meet them."
Jiang Dingwen and others were stunned. After seeing An Yi finished speaking, he had already walked out of the dock beside Zhu Peide and others. They could only come to Huang Yingwu and others to return the favor. After listening to Huang Yingwu's report, Jiang Dingwen nodded with a smile:
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work! Colonel Huang Yingwu, I heard that Mr. Guofu valued you very much. When he asked for your opinion, he suggested that you stay in the party headquarters, but you politely refused and only wanted to return to work in the old Nanchang Recruitment Office. Can you tell me
Why am I doing this?"
"Reporting to the deputy commander, my subordinates are not very talented and have little knowledge, so it is difficult for them to hold big positions. Ten months of further study in the political school has broadened their horizons and improved their ideological awareness to a certain extent. Compared with the talented brothers at the headquarters, they are really ashamed. After repeated consideration, I feel that
It's better to go down to the grassroots level and continue training." Huang Yingwu replied without changing his expression.
He Zhonghan, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, smiled slightly: "Nonsense, the 'December 11.22 Incident' political school opposed the special committee's demonstration. You, Huang Yingwu, participated in the organizing work behind the scenes. You are very eloquent and agitative."
Qiang, you were not afraid of the guns of suppression that day, and used your solid military skills to command you.
Your classmates dispersed in time to escape, otherwise there would be more than dozens of people killed and injured in the face of so many gunshots. Your outstanding performance has won the respect and praise of the Party Headquarters and the teachers and students of the Political School. Moreover, you studied well in school and sang songs.
You can also sing well. Several popular songs in political schools today were taught by you and have spread throughout major schools in Nanjing.
Mr. Guofu and the school teachers said privately that the fundamental reason why you insist on returning to old Nanchang is that you want to come back to follow your old commander An Yi. Am I right?"
Huang Yingwu puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Reporting to the general, my subordinates believe that the revolutionary soldiers are like screws and screw them wherever they are needed. I have seen that the officers and soldiers of our First Army, under the wise leadership of Deputy Commander Chiang and other officers, have inherited
Mr. Sun Yat-sen's legacy was to fight bravely with his life and blood, but it consumed a lot of money. Therefore, he decided to return to the Nanchang Recruitment Office to strengthen the recruitment work and use real efforts to make his own meager contribution to our First Army!
The choice of my subordinates has nothing to do with the old chief, Mr. An Yi, not to mention that he is no longer a member of our revolutionary army, but his subordinates and officers and soldiers still respect him very much."
"Well said!"
Jiang Dingwen praised loudly, patted Huang Yingwu on the shoulder and said kindly: "One of the main tasks of our visit this time is to inspect the Nanchang Recruitment Office, solve your difficulties on the spot, and commend the officers and soldiers who have made outstanding contributions!
You have done a great job. You have delivered 7,000 soldiers to our army in more than three months. The military is very satisfied. I hope you will continue your efforts. Well, thank you for your hard work, brothers! Please come back. We will go to the recruitment office tomorrow.
Visit the brothers."
"Thank you, sir! I will definitely take the encouragement and care from my officers back with me."
Huang Yingwu saluted, turned around, shouted slogans, and led his brothers to run out of the dock in an orderly manner, boarded a large truck, and left quickly.
Jiang Dingwen touched his nose and shook his head repeatedly: "This cunning thing is full of grand slogans as soon as he opens his mouth. But you can't do anything to him and you have to respond to his words. No wonder Mr. Guofu and the instructors at the political school take it so seriously.
He, this guy is really born to engage in conspiracy!"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and Yu Jishi finished laughing and said in a low voice: "I wonder if you have noticed that Colonel Huang Yingwu completely brushed off the relationship between himself and Junior Brother An. His words were plausible, hinted at tact, and he was very clever at flattering.
This person is not simple, no wonder Junior Brother An strongly recommended him to enter the political school for further study, he is indeed a talent."
Everyone nodded frequently and hurried over when they saw An Yi saw off Zhu Peide and his entourage. An Yi said loudly with a cheerful face:
"Generals and brothers, Senior Zhu said that he has already said hello to you. Tonight, he will greet all the leaders of the inspection team at the Zhuangyuan Building. The younger brothers will also be honored! The car is ready, I don't know.
Do you prefer to stay at the Jiangxi Hotel or the Jiangnan Hotel owned by my company?"
Jiang Dingwen replied without hesitation: "Your Jiangnan Hotel and that nightclub are already well-known. All the brothers who have hosted you have said that the facilities are first-class and extremely luxurious. Not only are each guest room equipped with a bathroom, but they can also be used without leaving the room."
You can take a hot bath, which is a hundred times better than Jiangxi Grand Hotel. Our whole group came all the way through wind, snow and dust. Where can we stay if we can’t live in a place like this?"
He Zhonghan, Kang Ze and others echoed in unison. Seeing this situation, An Yi quickly asked everyone to move to the car and sighed as he walked:
"Oh, it's such a brilliant gathering of stars! Since its opening, Jiangnan Hotel has never received such a high-level group. I'm so flattered!
Let's do this. Anyway, all the brothers came from afar for official business. I also expressed my feelings and asked the hotel manager to give me a 20% discount. I also gave each person a ticket to spend at the Western restaurant and cafe downstairs. How about it? How about that?
That’s generous enough!”
"An Yi, don't even think about it!"
Deng Wenyi, secretary-general of the Nanchang branch of the Huangpu Alumni Association, who had always been angry, scolded angrily: "Look at this profit-seeking guy, how can he have any sense of comradeship? He is just a profit-seeking profiteer. Today we will
Let’s live here without paying a penny and let’s see what he can do to us?”
All the brothers agreed in unison, laughing and scolding An Yi for his profiteer style. When they came to a row of cars, An Yi was very calm, with a smile on his face:
"Sir, please listen to me. We are all revolutionary soldiers and pillars of the party and the country. What is the difference between doing this and other warlords? I'm afraid the principal will be unhappy if he finds out. If the tabloid reporter finds out, it will be even more damaging to me.
revolutionary military formation
Elephant! Let’s do this. I’ll just insult the public and enrich myself, and put some pressure on the hotel manager, asking him to give in no matter what, and I’ll just give him a 30% discount. This should work, right? Please get in the car, everyone.
!The boy won’t charge the fare…”
He Zhonghan and others saw An Yi, who was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, dressed as a businessman. He behaved calmly and calmly. He seemed very enthusiastic but was actually very enthusiastic, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Hearing him make fun of him in such a serious way, all of them were shocked.
He couldn't bear it and cursed loudly.
Seven or eight brothers didn't even sit in the car. They put down their luggage and swarmed An Yi. They pressed An Yi on the snow and abused him. How could he care about the impact?
Kang Ze, a small man, finally squeezed in and kicked him twice to relieve his resentment. He found his luggage overjoyed, got into the car and laughed heartily. An Yi, who was caught off guard by the snow and water, got up and looked around. Except for the distance in the distance,
In addition to the stunned officers and soldiers on guard, there were also the common people who stayed away from each other, leaving me standing alone in the open snow, looking extremely embarrassed.
An Yi snorted the snow from his nostrils and wiped the snowflakes from his head and face. When he saw Shen Fengdao sticking his head out of the car in front, he finally found someone to vent to. He raised his sore hand and pointed at it, which he had already retracted. Shen Fengdao shouted angrily:
"Lao Shen, your grandson...if you don't save me from death, I will sever my ties with you...Haha, haha..."
