An Yi returned to his old home in Houzai Lane, lying on the leisure chair in the east hall on the first floor. Facing the two burning charcoal fires, he let out a long sigh. After receiving the hot tea from the orderly, he still sighed and said, "Five days." I couldn't drink tea anymore, so I took a few sips of it happily and sighed, and quickly asked Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong to try the Junshan Maojian given by He Yaozu.
"Boss, it may not be quiet!"
Chen Yu walked in with a smile on his face and handed a stack of greetings to An Yi with both hands: "These are all messages from various ministries in central Beijing or generals from the military offices in Beijing, as well as dozens of bosses from various chambers of commerce in Beijing. , I have received more than 140 greeting cards in the past few days, and various condolences and gifts are piled up in the two rooms, all waiting for my reply to come to visit Master."
Lin Yaodong smiled and said: "Brother, basically all the military generals and central officials who can visit the hospital in the past few days have arrived. Those who can't go in can only submit posts and wait for arrangements. They are probably representatives of the military in Beijing and business people. people."
An Yi nodded, thought for a while and told Chen Yu: "Choose a date, in the name of Jiangnan Group and Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce, find a better hotel to entertain these enthusiastic business friends, and wish you all an early New Year on my behalf. Everyone gives a gift that is affordable. If you are not sure, call General Manager Zhou to discuss it. It is best if he can take time to come and participate. The rich in this business field are not short of money. It’s all about saving face. Let’s take this opportunity to thank them and it will also promote future business.”
"Master, you are thoughtful, I will do it later." Chen Yu replied happily.
An Yi then ordered: "As for my friends in the military, please reply to them, thank them for me, and tell them that I am back. I am resting at home during this period. They can come whenever they can find time. We can We must not neglect our friends in the military community, let alone put on a condescending air. Future procurement of military supplies, coordinated operations, etc. of each army are very important. We must not ignore these things. We must make sure that our friends have no grudges in their hearts."
"Understood! But can the elder brother take the food well?" Chen Yu asked.
"What's too much to bear? Once the high fever subsides, everything will be gone. In addition, I can go to Xinxin Department Store to get a more comfortable Italian soft sofa and put it on some thick and warm Suzhou embroidery cushions, so that guests won't have to worry about it when they arrive. If you don't have a place to sit, get some simple and beautiful tea sets. Don't be confused about small things." An Yi warned carefully.
"yes!"
The captain's secretary on duty walked over quickly: "Master's seat, director, General Zhang Zhizhong is here."
An Yi was stunned and quickly stood up: "Please!"
Shen Fengdao put a military coat on An Yi, and everyone walked out of the door and walked down the steps. Zhang Zhizhong, accompanied by his adjutant and military academy instructor Tang Keqin, strode forward, pressed An Yi's hand to salute, and said kindly:
"I just arrived at Minister Yu's place to sign the new military uniforms that will be issued. I stopped by to see you. Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you, master! The student is doing much better." An Yi politely supported Zhang Zhizhong, turned to Tang Keqin and adjutant Yi Kerong and greeted warmly: "Brother En Bo, Brother Kerong, please come in quickly!"
Everyone came in and met each other warmly. The orderlies had already set up tea sets in the east hall. Everyone sat down to drink tea and chat with each other. Zhang Zhizhong regretfully said that An Yi's illness had delayed the courses of the Engineering and Military Department and the General Officer Class, and the gain outweighed the loss.
An Yi apologized with a smile on his face, looked at Tang Keqin who took off his military cap to reveal a high forehead, and asked with a smile: "Brother Enbo is also the captain of the sixth artillery section, I'm afraid he will be even busier?"
"I'm not busy. Compared with Brother An, who has twelve big classes every week, I'm much more relaxed." Tang Keqin put down his teacup and replied kindly.
Tang Keqin, nicknamed Enbo, grew up in a poor family but with high aspirations. He struggled to complete his middle school studies and was sponsored by his village elders to study in Japan and study silk industry. Tang Enbo, who was tall and wanted to serve the country by joining the army, dreamed of entering a Japanese military academy, but he had no choice.
Japanese military schools would not accept him without a letter of introduction from a celebrity in the Chinese military, no matter how good his grades were. Soon the village elder could not make ends meet to support Tang Enbo's studies. Tang Enbo could only return home sadly. Seeing that Tang Enbo, a pillar of his talent, was about to be buried, the village elder gave him a job.
Chen Yi, his old classmate and the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Army at the time, wrote to recommend him. When Chen Yi saw Tang Enbo, who was handsome and well-spoken, he was very fond of him. She immediately helped him return to Japan and personally wrote to his friends in the Japanese military circles to recommend him. Tang Enbo finally got his wish and became a Japanese non-commissioned officer.
In the 18th class of the school, Xia Xuecheng returned to China in 2027 to join his mentor Chen Yi. He was recommended by General Chen Yi to enter the Central Military Academy as a lieutenant colonel instructor in the gunnery department. At the end of last year, he was promoted to colonel instructor and battalion captain. He is a person who can endure hard work and is diligent in the military academy.
Ken's solid and outstanding performance won Zhang Zhizhong's favor. He was promoted to the first level within a year of joining the school, and more burdens were placed on his shoulders.
In October last year, An Yi entered the military academy as a lieutenant general's chief instructor. Tang Enbo listened to An Yi's two classes with suspicion. As a result, he deeply admired An Yi, who was not only capable of fighting, but also knowledgeable, humble and generous.
At first, An Yi didn't pay much attention to Tang Keqin, who always liked to come to listen to his lectures, because there were so many military academy instructors who came to listen to An Yi's lectures. One day, An Yi was discussing the teaching schedule in Zhang Zhizhong's office and heard Zhang Zhizhong call Gang
When Tang Keqin entered the door and introduced himself in detail, he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was the famous Commander Tang in the future. He felt that Tang Enbo's difficult start was very similar to his own when he entered the army, and he immediately felt a sense of confusion, and the two started dating.
Over time, we gradually became familiar with each other. In addition, Chen Yi, who had just been transferred to the Director of Ordnance Industry, attached great importance to An Yi's Jiangnan Arsenal. He also had a good relationship with An Yi. He consulted with An Yi several times to discuss the finalization of equipment and joked in private.
He asked An Yi to help his best student Tang Keqin more, so An Yi unknowingly got closer to Tang Enbo, who was seven years older, and they lost their original politeness when talking to each other.
Zhang Zhizhong was very willing to see the two young people he admired living in harmony, so he asked An Yi to talk to Tang Enbo before asking: "Have you received the invitation from General Jiang Mingsan?"
"Tian Ming's third brother sent it to the student when he visited the hospital the day before yesterday. He said that his troops are stationed in Haizhou, his natal family is in Hangzhou, and his relatives and friends are all in Shanghai. It would be more convenient to hold the wedding in Shanghai. After the ceremony, he will come to Nanjing to set up a few tables.
I would like to express my gratitude to the central government officials and brothers and friends who were unable to attend the wedding due to busy official duties. The student originally wanted to wait until brother Ming San brought his wife to Nanjing to congratulate him, but he did not agree. It seems that he can only go there at the end of the month. He is asking his mentor for permission.
It’s fake.” An Yi answered truthfully.
Zhang Zhizhong nodded: "Among the teachers and general schools of our Huangpu Department, Ming San has an extraordinary relationship with you. You'd better go there and go back to school as soon as possible. The sixth-term students will graduate in four months.
Now, the seventh-term students have also transferred to intense professional studies. They can't have a holiday during the Spring Festival. There are also more than 60 special recruits from your independent division and Yin Jinan's garrison division. Everyone hopes to hear your class as soon as possible. You are responsible for the engineer
You have to take multiple courses in the department and the general officer class, and you have to host weekly battle seminars. The task is very heavy. For this reason, I have repeatedly advised the principal not to transfer you to do other things. The principal is always vague and non-committal. It seems that
As a teacher, you have to think of some other ways, but the prerequisite is that you don't take the initiative to go out and lead troops."
"Teacher, the student very much hopes to stay in the school and communicate with his comrades. In addition, the old injury has not healed and he still needs to recuperate. He has resigned many times due to the deployment suggestions of the General Staff Headquarters. He always wants to stay in the military school for a few years to study and gain some theoretical knowledge to make up for it.
Due to his own shortcomings, the students requested the principal more than once. The principal finally relented the day before yesterday and said that as long as there is no major military operation, he will try not to transfer students." An Yi replied respectfully.
"That's good, that's good! I really don't want you to go back to Nanchang." Zhang Zhizhong smiled meaningfully. An Yi immediately understood the meaning of his mentor and knew that his mentor did not want to fight with the Communist Party. With his help
Speaking up in front of Principal Jiang can save you a lot of trouble.
"Reporting to the division seat, General Xia Bingling, commander of the Thirteenth Division, is visiting." The captain on duty came in again to report.
Zhang Zhizhong smiled: "General Xia is actually here. It seems that your place is lively! Now is the time for the demobilization meeting. Generals from all armies and divisions have gathered in Nanjing. With your good relationship with all armies, I am afraid that many generals
Everyone is coming."
"student……"
"Brother An! Haha..."
Xia Douyin, dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general, walked in. He heard his voice before he saw him, and the atmosphere immediately became lively. When Xia Douyin saw Zhang Zhizhong and An Yi coming up to greet him, he quickly saluted Zhang Zhizhong and said with a spring breeze on his face: "
Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! Brother Wenbai is a rare person, haha!"
Zhang Zhizhong returned the gift and stepped forward to shake hands and greet him. An Yi asked happily: "When did you arrive, senior? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"Brother An is out, what are we brothers announcing? By the way, don't call me senior, I'm not very old, am I?" Xia Douyin made a joke and walked up to An Yi and looked him up and down.
, frowned: "You are much thinner and your complexion is much worse. How can you still drink?"
Everyone burst into laughter. An Yi immediately walked up to the orderly and asked him to order a table of dishes at the Confucius Temple restaurant. He then carried a few boxes of old Nanchang special aging wine to the shop in front. He just turned around and
Yu's voice suddenly sounded:
"Reporting to the commander, General Ye Jingqiu, commander-in-chief of the Railway Transport Command, has arrived!"
Everyone was stunned again, and Xia Douyin laughed heartily: "I didn't expect the old chief of the Hunan Army to come too, haha! It's so lively!"
An Yi rushed to the door. Ye Kaixin led the two adjutants up the steps with a smile on his face, greeted An Yi, and quickly greeted Xia Douyin and Zhang Zhizhong.
Zhang Zhizhong was busy with work and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by the enthusiastic Xia Douyin and Ye Kaixin at the door, saying that it was almost time for dinner so they could sit together. Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but agreed.
Everyone was about to return to the house when two military sedans slowly drove up to the steps of the foreign-style building. Hu Zongnan, Gui Yongqing and other six Huangpu Chuqiaos carrying large and small bags got out of the car. When they saw Zhang Zhizhong, they quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Ye Kaixin and Xia Douyin saluted, and the three lieutenant generals returned the salute with smiles on their faces, and told everyone to come into the room together. They might as well have a meal together at An Yi's place and have a good chat.
An hour later, people of all ages would raise their glasses in the main hall on the first floor. Zhang Zhizhong, who had been recommended by everyone to say a few words, had just stood up when Chen Yu hurried in again to report:
"The cars of General Chen Cixiu and General Cai Jiechen came in..."
