The Zhu Mansion on the bank of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing has an ordinary appearance. It is a two-story small building hidden among green trees. It is located in the north of the courtyard. On the left side of the small courtyard is the clear and wide Xuanwu Lake.
At this time, a mahogany square table was placed under the purple bamboo adjacent to the lakeshore. The dishes on the table were exquisite and the wine sets were elegant. Four people, old and young, were sitting around the square table. They were Zhu Shigui, the commander of the 17th Division who came from Nanchang to visit his old boss and his father-in-law.
, Nanchang Garrison Division Commander Zhan Huanqi, An Yi and his master Zhu Peide are about to leave Beijing for Yichang.
Due to physical reasons, Zhu Peide only poured a small glass of rice wine in front of him. Occasionally, he raised the glass and licked it to satisfy his addiction. His wife and baby daughter were worried, and they sat by the pavilion not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.
While supervising the handiwork, An Yi and the others called for a large glass filled with high-strength Jinxian shochu. You came and I drank, and drank happily.
Zhu Peide saw that his confidant Zhu Shigui's eyes were red and he was beginning to speak awkwardly. He quickly waved his hands to prevent them from drinking any more. He took off the banquet and replaced it with fragrant tea, and started to get down to business:
"You just happened to be together today, so I don't have to spend time delivering messages to you one by one. Based on my current physical condition and my position in the central government, I no longer have any energy to take care of things in Jiangxi. Fortunately, Huan
Qi has taken over the family business very well in the past few months and maintained it well, so I have nothing to worry about in Jiangxi. The only thing I am worried about is Shigui's Seventeenth Division."
"Yi Gong, just rest assured. My subordinates are stationed in Jiujiang safely. They are either training soldiers or assisting Huanqi in anti-drug and anti-smuggling operations every day. With the support of brother Yang Bin, after three months of model camp-style forced training, my brothers
The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and the equipment has been quietly updated. Now the people are strong and the horses are strong, so Mr. Yi does not need to worry too much." Zhu Shigui explained with a cheerful face, trying to put his old boss at ease.
Zhu Peide shook his head and sighed faintly: "Shigui, haven't you seen something from the bandit suppression in eastern and western Jiangxi and the dense war clouds in the north? If Xiaoyi hadn't taken one of your brigade
If you were assigned to Xiangfan for disaster relief and security tasks, you might have been sent to the mountains at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian to go suppress the Communists with Jin Handing and others.
.Look where Wang Jun's 7th Division is now? In Bengbu! As long as any rebellious general of the Northwest Army cannot keep calm, the war will start soon, and you will have to lead the soldiers under your command to fight against the climate and
Do you understand that you are going to work hard in the Central Plains area where the terrain is unfamiliar? You are so careless, it seems you are still in the dark!"
Zhu Shigui's face was gloomy and he looked at Zhu Peide and An Yi blankly. An Yi wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, lowered his head and coughed, and drank tea quietly.
Zhan Huanqi had a premonition that An Yi and Zhu Peide must have made some major adjustments, so she did not dare to neglect at the moment and hurriedly pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Zhu Peide continued: "Xiao Yi and I have repeatedly discussed the future of the Seventeenth Division, and finally reached a preliminary conclusion. Under the current circumstances, the only option is to transfer the Seventeenth Division out of Jiangxi and follow Xiao Yi in Xiangfan.
Yi must do something to avoid the fate of being annexed by others or being completely destroyed in battle. Anyway, there are always wars everywhere, so it is better to stay with your brothers and live longer.
Shi Gui, as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, play in the battlefield! In the current army, you can only rely on Xiaoyi to rely on, and only Huanqi, Jialin, Following Nan and Yang Bin's troops are you
Brother forces, but today's independent division of Jialin is stationed in the Liuhe Camp opposite Beijing. It is the semi -branch capital guard force and the first prince of our army. At a critical moment, the chief commander will not use it.
Following the Sixteen Divisions of the South has already followed Xiao Yi's westward. According to the important position, he has made great achievements. Huanqi's guardian and our security forces are local troops.
Well, only your seventeen division guards the wealthy Jiujiang. Who is not jealous of you?
Furthermore, although the 17th Division is well -trained, Cheng Jun has not experienced a test of a war. Do you really have the bottom? Is there a sense of honor for 15,000 officers and soldiers? Is there a sense of home?
"
Zhu Shigui's face was pale, and the sweaty beads appeared on the head: "Yi Gong has criticized it, and his subordinates have been deeply regretful to have never fought a battle. Brother's brother training all day, invited to fight from time to time, but there has been no chance ...
… The subordinates did not realize Yigong’s painstaking pain! "
"Just understand!"
Zhu Peide turned to Zhan Huanqi: "Huanqi, your third brother's 17th division was officially transferred to Western Hubei, and must be allowed to send two main brigades to take over the defense to firmly occupy the two camps in the north and south of the Jiujiang.
The development of the development of Jiujiang also belongs to the jurisdiction of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Force. I will do the work of the chief commander. He will sell me this face.
Xiaoyi and I decided that only the barracks near the Jiujiang Wharf Military Station were reserved for the central military for use, and it would not let any regular army live there. You can rest assured.
Will turn his face with me and Xiaoyi.
I have sought the opinions of Yang Bin in advance in advance. He is very supportive. After you go back, you discuss with him. You must also speed up the expansion and training of the security guards in Xiajian and Jiangxi.
Your job. "
"Okay, the baby remembers it." Zhan Huanqi replied respectfully.
Zhu Shigui thought for a while and asked, "When will we go to Xiangfan? I can prepare after I go back."
"Not in a hurry, this matter cannot be asked to ask the Military Commission and the commander -in -chief, otherwise it will make a misunderstanding.
Can't be overwhelmed, it is more secure for me to handle it.
Fan Shisheng was stationed in Xiangfan. His two brigades had traveled to Western Hubei. Under the command of Zhang Fakui, he had not played a victory for more than a month.
The commander -in -chief was a big fire, and Zhang Fakui scolded Zhang Fakui. He also wanted to threaten the military and martial arts, and stopped it with the persuasion of our a few.
At present, Ge Jichang is formulating a plan to adjust the deployment of Western Hubei bandits, and intends to adjust the resident of Fan Shisheng to Jiangling south of Jingzhou.
I asked him to transfer your seventeenth division to Xiangfan to pick up defense. One of your brigades is already there. It is also a reasonable thing to adjust the entire 17 division to the whole thing. When you get there
It is Xiaoyi, and there are sixteen divisions from the south. I rest assured. "Zhu Peide explained in detail.
"Father, if you leave, who will take over as the chairman of Jiangxi Province?" Zhan Huanqi asked curiously. He cares about this issue very much. From now on, he will meet and work with the provincial chairman day and night. It is difficult to cooperate with someone who is not easy to talk to.
Zhu Peide smiled and said: "I guess it was Lu Yong'an who took over. For several months, he was known as the commander of the Wuhan garrison, but there was Liu Jingfu, director of the Wuhan camp, and on the left and right were the commander-in-chief's confidants, generals Gu Mosan and Jiang Mingsan. Lu
Yong'an, the commander of the garrison, had nothing to do and was really useless! He called Tan Gong every two days to complain and begged to be transferred to another place, otherwise he would be like a stepmother in Wuhan.
The situation of another quiet contender is similar to that of Lu Yong'an. This person is the commander of the Songhu garrison, General Xiong Shihui. There are high-ranking officials and famous tycoons all over Shanghai, and it is difficult to offend anyone. The name of the garrison commander sounds very resounding.
But all the prosperous areas are in the concession, and he can't control it even if he wants to. Last time, the opium and tobacco smuggled for just a few kilograms made the whole country embarrassed, and even offended the Qinghong Gang of Shanghai and local officials.
Again, his life was not easy either.
But relatively speaking, Lu Yong'an was the more promising of the two. Commander-in-chief Chiang Kai-shek and the Dean of the Fifth Academy of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China both looked after Tan Gong's face and took good care of Lu Yong'an, Tan Gong's old subordinate. I think
The position of Chairman of Jiangxi Province has basically been given to him by default. Your brother Xiaoyi has been very vocal in the past. Dean Dai, Young Lao and Jing Lao all hope that he can be familiar with it.
In the field of industry and commerce, Xiao Yi, who is capable of literature and military skills, should try to be the chairman of this province. Mr. Kong and Mrs. Chiang also agreed, but Commander-in-Chief Chiang was unwilling. The excuse was that Xiao Yi was young and needed to be tempered. In fact, I think the commander-in-chief wanted
For the sake of the great cause of Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan, and Xiaoyi himself is not willing, Mr. Tan even talked to Xiaoyi about this yesterday and asked him to tell you."
An Yi said with a smile: "Tan Gong first mobilized me to be the chairman of this province. I had no doubt about his sincerity at this point, but I rejected him flatly. After explaining my actual difficulties and reasons, Tan Gong
He also supported my decision very much. I remember Uncle Dao once said to me: Wear as big a hat as you have on your head, otherwise your head will be ruined first! I have always kept it in my heart.
Another thing is that the chairman of Jiangxi Province looks good, but it is actually not easy to be a leader. The war in western Jiangxi, southern Jiangxi, and eastern Jiangxi has been raging for two years without stopping. The Zhu Mao Red Army, which was originally looked down upon by no one, has become stronger and stronger.
The awesome and coaxing general is still ahead of the game
Mo Zhan, so whoever becomes the chairman of Jiangxi Province will also serve as the commander-in-chief of suppression, and will have to face the Zhumao Red Army in the vast mountains. It is not easy to fight! If it is really easy to fight, Brother Jin Handing will not fight.
Tian frowned and scolded his mother."
Zhu Peide and Zhu Shigui smiled at each other, but Zhan Huanqi curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "You just don't want to break up with the instructors and brothers in Huangpu. These brothers know it tacitly. Lao Yang once said to his younger brother in private,
You don’t need to go there in person, you just need to bring Xia
Just send that boy Jian up, he will definitely be more effective than Brother Jin Handing and Chief Zhang Zhen. Xia Jian himself also boasted, saying that he did not want to go, otherwise he would only need to mobilize the gangsters Wang Xulun and Han Hao to lead two mountain groups
Just go into the mountains, and the custody will be a mess!"
"Did Xia Jian really say that? Huanqi, when you get back, help me give that grandson a message so that he can consciously shut his mouth! Many things in this world are not that simple. Even if you have the ability, you can't talk nonsense. Tell me
There are some things he can only do but not say. I believe he will understand. If the trouble comes from his mouth and attracts criticism and reports from friendly forces, I will let him quit the army and never think about it again in this life." An Yi said sternly.
said.
Zhan Huanqi put away his smile and agreed, and Zhu Peide immediately took the opportunity to teach his old subordinates and son-in-law: "Do you know what the gap is? Don't think that you have learned Xiao Yi's military command skills and troop leading methods. Experience and experience cannot be learned.
It requires understanding and training again and again, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhu Shigui and Zhan Huanqi replied in unison.
"Shigui, is there anything you don't understand, or is there anything you want to say to Xiaoyi?" Zhu Peide was very thoughtful.
Zhu Shigui grinned: "No! Among the people I admire, apart from Yi Gong, I am Brother An. I am willing to accept Brother An's command unconditionally. All the brothers in the division regard Brother An as their role model and role model. All of them
Military skill training, internal affairs management and political education are all implemented in accordance with the model camp. It is a dream for the brothers to be commanded by Brother An!"
"That's good! Xiaoyi, do you have anything to say to them?" Zhu Peide turned to An Yi very considerately.
An Yi smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing to say. From now on, we all eat together. If you have anything to say, you can always say it when you get to Western Hubei. But I have a few words to say to Huanqi.
Huanqi, you have done a very good job this year, but I don’t want you to stay in the environment of a security division. From now on, you have to take some courses by yourself. The Army University will be moved to Nanjing soon. You try to take the exam.
You are in the regular class. Now you really need to learn gold plating. Three years in school is nothing. It will not delay you from making achievements. In this way, you two can stay with Uncle De and have a child as soon as possible.
The various forces we operate are deeply rooted in the Nanchang area. No one can easily try to run against us. There are so many brothers guarding us. You can rest assured, but Nanchang is definitely not our place to stay for a long time. In five years at most, we will go west.
Move, otherwise the war will continue, and there will be no way to save it... Don't ask me why, you know that since joining the army, my predictions have never been missed, even Uncle Dao is convinced, so you have to believe me, and seize the opportunity to improve yourself, and soon you will be
It will be of great use."
Zhu Peide thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is this probably the reason why you run Xiangxi quietly?"
"It's not just Xiangxi? Uncle De, you have to take good care of your health. If you really can't bear it, go to Old Nanchang to rest. Don't hold on. In a few years, not only will southern Sichuan be ours, but my nephew will also take Yunnan back to us."
You, let me return to your hometown and be a real chairman of Yunnan Province!" An Yi said solemnly.
Everyone was shocked, but Zhu Peide laughed heartily and put his arms around An Yi's shoulders. Although he did not believe that this would become true, he was full of emotion and happiness at the filial piety and sincere affection that An Yi showed to him.
