On October 10, 1926, the defenders in Wuchang finally laid down their arms and opened the door to surrender, but it was not until October 18 that the Northern Expeditionary armies completely quelled the chaos in the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After twists and turns and repeated negotiations, the surrendered defenders were reorganized on 21 October, and more than 8,000 people who were unwilling to continue to serve in the army received their travel expenses and went their separate ways, and hundreds of generals and colonels who had been captured because of their stubborn resistance were also released one after another, and the three towns of Wuhan gradually settled down.

However, the tens of thousands of long and short guns, thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and more than 60 artillery pieces handed over by the defenders were looted by the Northern Expeditionary armies that rushed into the city before they could be counted.

The vanguard of the Eighth Army and the Fourth Army had a brief exchange of fire over a batch of opium, and a farce broke out in which more than 10 people were killed or wounded.

As the struggle between the major forces in Wuchang City intensified, the hard-working Northern Expedition armies continued to fight for territory.

After Tang Shengzhi was unable to gain control of Wuchang, he openly set up cards to collect taxes in Hanyang, the north and south wharves, and the left and right factions within the Kuomintang abused each other, verbally and penalized, and each party launched various strikes and strikes without discussion, and the three towns of Wuhan once again fell into a state of chaos.

Early morning of October 25th.

Zheng Yi led the guards to Hankou and escorted Xu's father and his family and Zheng Heng's wife and children to board the British passenger ship "Yichang".

Zheng Yi's political commissar Li Zhao also boarded the ship and rushed to Huhai to report to the party organization.

At noon, Zheng Yi and his entourage took a speedboat back to the barracks of the military station, and led the twelve young men in the village to enlist in the army for less than three days, Xu Maofu, who was still immersed in the sadness of parting, Zheng Yi was already busy, and after reading the reply telegram sent by Yu Feipeng, he immediately convened a military meeting above the battalion commander.

In less than ten minutes, ten chief and deputy battalion commanders and regimental commanders gathered together, Zheng Yi read Yu Feipeng's approval order, and immediately issued a series of orders:

"The 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Directly Subordinate Communications Company, Special Service Company, and Engineer Company must be ready for field training before 12 o'clock tonight, and only three days of individual dry rations are allowed!"

"This field training has been approved by the headquarters of the military station for one month; In addition, Major Xu Zhilin, deputy superintendent of the station, Major Cao Mancheng, intelligence staff officer, and Major Teng Yichun, commander of the recruit training battalion, formed a left-behind leading group to be fully responsible for the station's military logistics, security and security, recruit recruitment, and external liaison work! ”

"If you have any comments and requests, please put them forward now."

The officers were surprised, and they had already guessed that Zheng Yi's real intention in this move was to temporarily stay away from the chaotic furnace of the three towns of Wuhan.

Xu Zhilin, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility for the first time, was excited, and the old fritter Teng Yichun was full of sadness, seeing the chief and deputy commanders of each battalion looking eager to try, Teng Yichun, who was quite lost, couldn't help but ask: "Chief Zheng, our recruit battalion has only recruited more than 200 recruits at present, and the work is not easy to carry out!" ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Lao Teng, I'll teach you a way, starting tomorrow, you will send dozens of old brothers under your command who can speak well, Deputy Station Supervisor Xu will assist you, send a few big trucks to transport personnel and materials, and the soldiers will go to the south gate and east gate of Wuchang City in two ways to set up a table, erect the banner of the recruitment office of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, and then let a few of your cooking classes go out together, and keep steaming buns at the two recruitment locations, and for each qualified recruit recruited, I will reward you with five oceans in the recruit training camp, and how you will distribute it when you come back is up to you." ”

"Later, I'll ask Staff Officer Cao to give you 5,000 oceans for backup first, if it's not enough, I'll give you 50,000 oceans if you recruit 10,000, no ambiguity!"

"But let me say it first, after the people recruit me back, you have to bring it to me, no matter how many recruits this time will have to be trained for three months before they can be sent out, the quality must be guaranteed, and the front-line soldiers must not laugh at us."

Teng Yichun was overjoyed: "Great! There are no less than 100,000 displaced people and remnants of the defeated army who have nowhere to go outside the city of Wuchang, and the friendly troops are now only concerned about grabbing the territory and the docks, and none of them have started to recruit troops, so we can take the lead and bring back at least a few thousand recruits. ”

Zheng Yi gave him another idea: "There is another way, you can send your old brothers back to their respective hometowns to recruit soldiers, and I will give you ten oceans for each recruit to settle in, but my requirements are also very strict: in addition to complying with the recruitment requirements of recruits, this part of the recruits must be simple and honest, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two, how much you recruit for me, money is definitely not a problem." ”

Teng Yichun stood up excitedly: "Thank you Chief Zheng for your trust, and I promise to complete the task, and within a month, if you don't recruit back 5,000 people, you will shoot me!" ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and they all understood how fat the oil and water was, Dong Zongzhuo and Wang Huchen, who were as careful as a hair, looked at each other and smiled, and had a very deep understanding of Teng Yichun's character, and finally understood that the fundamental reason why Zheng Yi had never really accepted Teng Yichun was here.

After the meeting was adjourned, all the chief and deputy battalion commanders quickly returned to their departments, and the whole battalion soon boiled.

In the conference room, Zheng Yi told Xu Zhilin, Cao Mancheng and other left-behind officers: "After I leave with the three battalions, you will immediately close the camp, refuse all visits and invitations, and never participate in the battles of various factions and armies. ”

"What are the orders or requirements of the General Political Department and the advance group of the Central Party Department, don't you reply, and push it all on me, remember?"

"Remember!"

The brothers answered in unison.

Zheng Yi then inquired about the work under everyone's jurisdiction one by one, put forward precautions, and finally looked at Cao Mancheng with a calm expression: "Old Cao, the communication depends on you." ”

Cao Mancheng reported in a low voice: "The communications company has erected three 20-meter-high fishbone antennas in the middle yard, the internal special password written by Chen Lizhi and Zhang Yao has been completed, and the two newly arrived Siemens 50-watt short-wave radio stations are very easy to use, after three days of testing, they can easily detect the radio frequency bands of various armies, and all the performance is excellent, and the supporting German diesel generators and voltage regulators are working normally, but the new battery is a little heavier, and there are no other problems." ”

Zheng Yi showed a pleased smile: "I want to reward you and the brothers of the Communication Company with twenty oceans each, and the officers and technical backbones will be credited once." ”

Han Shouren, the deputy head of the regiment, immediately echoed: "Yes, it's best for the boss to take out a few more boxes of wine from his treasure as prizes!" ”

The brothers laughed when they heard this, Zheng Yi shook his head and stood up, and walked to the middle courtyard where the communication company was located.

October 29, 6:30 p.m.

Li Zhao, who was wearing a suit and a top hat, came to No. 2 Yuyangli in the French Concession of Shanghai and Haihai on time, and Director Zhou, who was smiling kindly, was already waiting in front of the gate.

Going up to the study room at the back of the second floor, Li Zhao took out the thick file in his arms and presented it with both hands: "Director Zhou, this is the work report of our party group over the past few months, as well as the application for joining the party from a total of 55 officers of Comrade Zheng Yi's department. ”

Director Zhou was pleasantly surprised: "Fifty-five? Did I hear me right? ”

Li Zhao was very excited: "You heard it right, if it weren't for Comrade Zheng Yi's cautiousness and asking the party group to extend the observation time, it is estimated that a zero would have to be added to the number of fifty-five!" ”
