Zheng Yi stayed at the shipyard dock for half an hour and then went back to sleep, he knew very well that the shipyard would not be in any danger, even if it did, it would only be fought in the city and the military academy dock on the south bank, and no one would risk the escalation of the conflict to attack the British-funded Taikoo Shipyard and the Huangpu Port in the east.

The next morning, Zheng Yi did not leave in a hurry, he called Manager White, said goodbye to Felt and other Britons and masters one by one, and after lunch was left by everyone, he happily accepted two boxes of whiskey and two boxes of canned food presented by Felt and others, and took the shipyard's traffic boat to the dock of the military academy on the other side in everyone's reluctant farewell.

Felt wanted to go to the other side to explore the reality and see the seized Norwegian freighter, Zheng Yi didn't want to cause trouble, and suggested that Felt should not go, but Felt had to go, just replaced a few foreign guards with local old workers, and took the lead in getting on the ship and driving it himself.

Under the scorching sun, the military academy wharf was heavily guarded at three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, and the detained Norwegian ship was quietly docked on the west side of the simple wooden wharf, and the two small gunboats of the Guangdong Navy were nowhere to be seen.

The officers and men on alert saw a small boat coming rapidly with green smoke, and immediately watched nervously, and the two officers who led the team ran to the edge of the pier and issued a loud warning: "Martial law has been imposed here, berthing is prohibited, please leave immediately!" ”

Zheng Yi, who was standing on the front deck of the traffic boat, explained loudly: "Tell the chief, my name is Zheng Yi, the special officer of the Quartermaster Department of the Military Academy, the boat is carrying my personal belongings and a few boxes of professional materials, please allow the commander to dock." ”

One of the two officers had seen Zheng Yi on the day of the trial, and after informing his companions, he allowed the dinghy to dock, but only allowed Zheng Yi to bring his belongings ashore.

Zheng Yi hurriedly saluted, jumped on the dock to take the eight large and small boxes handed over by the masters, and waved his hand to watch the dinghy slowly leave.

"This dinghy is running so fast? Is there a gasoline engine in the stern? The tall officer who led the team asked curiously.

Zheng Yi nodded: "It's a gasoline engine, and the power is greater than the gasoline engine of the common Ford car in the city, about sixty horsepower, just enough for this eight-meter-long runabout." ”

The tall officer was envious: "It would be convenient if our military academy also had a few such small speedboats!" Let me introduce myself, my name is Jin Fozhuang, the instructor of the military academy and the captain of the third team of the first phase, the captain of the fourth team, Captain Yan Fengyi, he saw you, it was the day you helped the military academy repair the traffic boat trial sailing some time ago. ”

"Hello Chief Yan!" Zheng Yi reached out first.

Yan Fengyi from Hainan Island was very enthusiastic, and after shaking hands with Zheng Yi, she smiled and said: "You really have a lot of belongings, Instructor Jin and I can't leave our posts, ask a few students to help you move." ”

Zheng Yi thanked him again, and heard Yan Fengyi shouting the names of the six students such as "Fan Hanjie, Hu Zongnan, Leng Xin" in an official dialect with a strong Hainan accent, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and when the six students came to meet each other, they found that Yan Fengyi called out that these six people were not called casually, Fan Hanjie from Guangdong and Hu Zongnan from Zhejiang were older and steady, and the others were all Zhejiang students, it seems that Yan Fengyi had already understood the relationship between himself and the two officers of the Ministry of Quartermastery.

After carrying the luggage and saying goodbye, Zheng Yi, who was carrying a small suitcase, and Fan Hanjie, who was old, walked together and talked a few words, and Hu Zongnan smiled on the opposite side:

"I saw you on the morning of April 28, because I did not qualify for the examination, I could only follow a few unsuccessful candidates to quietly sneak into the Provincial Normal University to observe, and watched you line up for a physical examination with great envy from afar.

Fan Hanjie and the others were stunned and couldn't help laughing, Hu Zongnan was not a little embarrassed, but smiled at the amiable Zheng Yi:

"Sir Zheng, you are more powerful than me, your speech in front of the No. 2 Nandi Road is even more sensational, I heard that the newspapers in Shanghai have also published your deeds and remarks, and your luck is much better than mine, what I admire even more is your knowledge and skills in repairing warships, I was fortunate to visit with hundreds of classmates on the trial voyage that day, and found that Chief Zheng not only has superb repair skills, but also excellent swimming skills."

The students laughed, and Zheng Yi was also happy: "It's nothing, I often went down to the river to swim in the three months I worked in the Taikoo Shipyard on the north bank, and by the way, I was covered in dust and oil smoke after washing and working, I didn't know that there were suddenly so many military academy teachers and students on the shore that day, and I wanted to swim more than 100 meters and then come back to make soap, but I suddenly saw so many people, and I panicked." ”

The crowd laughed again, and the distance between them narrowed much closer.

"It can be seen that Instructor Zheng has a good water nature, my family lives by the big river, but there is no water quality like you, I guess you can easily swim back and forth on the Pearl River." Fan Hanjie is tall and strong, but he has a delicate heart.

Zheng Yi remembered that almost every year in his previous life, he would swim across the Yangtze River with his partners on the day of commemorating the great man's winter swim in the Yangtze River, and couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"My family is in Hankou, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and I like to swim in the river since I was a child, so the water is still passable.

Fan Hanjie happily agreed, everyone talked while walking, relaxed and happy, and almost walked to the gate of the military academy Hu Zongnan asked: "Instructor Zheng, these boxes are quite heavy, what are they in?" ”

"Most of the cardboard boxes you and the two brothers in the back are books, and the four boxes in the hands of Brother Fan and the two brothers behind are Scotch whisky and canned beef for the British Navy as gifts from colleagues in the shipyard, and each of them will bring back two cans later." Zheng Yi said with a smile.

The students, who had not eaten a meal of meat for three days, were overjoyed, and as if they were worried that Zheng Yi would regret it, they immediately thanked them loudly, and soon entered the school gate through the verification and came to the front of the instructor's dormitory behind the west-facing building.

Zheng Yi asked everyone to wait, rushed to the Lingnan ancestral hall-style courtyard on the side, called the world brother Zhou Junruo to open the dormitory door, and the students quickly moved all their luggage in and put it away, telling Zheng Yi that they still had to be on duty, keep the canned food first, and then quietly come over to get it after the disbandment.

"You've got a lot of luggage, and it's quite heavy."

Zhou Junruo helped Zheng Yi put the cardboard boxes away: "You sleep on the bed opposite me, the new desk at the head of the bed is yours, and the items you have applied for have also been brought back, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the office first, I guess I don't want to sleep well in the past few days." ”

"There's no fight over there in the Generalissimo's Mansion, is there?"

Zheng Yi learned in the morning that the Guangzhou merchant group had mobilized nearly 2,000 armed men to surround the Generalissimo's Mansion and demand the release of the detained Norwegian freighter intact.

Zhou Junruo reported with some concern: "The principal and the officials of the various ministries rushed to the Generalissimo's Mansion early in the morning to attend an emergency meeting, and just now they called and said that they would come back immediately, so that our Quartermaster Department would be ready to count and seize the weapons. ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while and said, "Big brother help me get a military uniform, I'll go with you, otherwise you won't be busy." ”

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go to the front warehouse to find you two sets of large military uniforms, you can't wear mine."

Zhou Junruo hurriedly went out, and ten minutes later took back two sets of new military uniforms: "Let's deal with it, you will have to wait a few days for the military uniform and riding boots customized for you...... Hey? Where did you get your pistol? It's still the new Browning M1910, which is much better than my Continental broken gun. ”

"The Brit sent it, big brother can take it if he likes it, the bullet is in the drawer on the left side of my desk, go get it yourself, I still have a Colt M1911."

Zheng Yi stuffed the Browning pistol and holster into Zhou Junruo's hand, took the new military uniform and new military cap, returned to the bedside and began to change, and finally put the delicate holster and the leather magazine box in groups of four into the wide belt, and then filled the magazine of the Colt pistol with bullets and inserted it into the holster, put on the big cap after a little tidying, and followed Zhou Junruo, who had changed into a new gun, to the office.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the weapons and equipment carried by the Norwegian freighter were unloaded, a total of 9,000 Czech-made Mauser rifles and 40 light and heavy machine guns, all of which were stacked in the open space in front of the temporary munitions warehouse, tightly covered with tarpaulins, and a squad of sentries was added around them.

Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo, who was tired and shivering, returned to the dormitory after eating a bowl of noodles in the officers' cafeteria, and it was past midnight after taking a shower to clean up a little, and they stayed in the dimly lit dormitory to talk weakly, deeply worried about the many threats issued by the merchant group.

The weak Zhou Jun was so tired that he didn't want to move, leaned on the head of the bed, and sighed repeatedly: "If we can't reach a settlement the day after tomorrow, even if the business group doesn't take the lead in using force, it will launch a large-scale boycott and resist donations and taxes, and it will be a problem for nearly 1,000 people in the military academy to eat." ”

Zheng Yi immediately reacted: "Now the confiscation of all the weapons and equipment of the merchant group is equivalent to putting on a tough posture, and the contradictions between the two sides are further aggravated. ”

Zhou Junruo shook his head again and again: "Do you think the principal and the officials of the various ministries can't see it?" No money! Since the opening of the military academy to the present, there has not been a day when they have had enough to eat, and from time to time they have engaged in so-called anti-hunger training because they have not eaten three meals, and it is also called training the perseverance of the cadets and tempering the revolutionary spirit......"

"At the beginning of the school year, there were only 30 rifles for more than 700 officers and soldiers in the school, and it was not enough to even stand guard and sentry, and the officers were fine, most of them had their own short guns, and those who did not have them were easy to solve, and the students could only train with wooden sticks, and they could not even eat enough, and eating meat once in five days was like a festival."

Later, Mr. Liao was forced to take his wife's gold and silver jewelry to the pawnshop as a mortgage and buy back a batch of grain, but it was not until more than a month later that the Russian advisers could not see it anymore, and they paid to buy 500 Yuannian-style rifles from Fan Xiaoquan, who occupied the Shijing Arsenal, and distributed them in time for the official opening ceremony on 15 June, so that he did not make a fool of himself in front of Chinese and foreign reporters.

"However, until now, the funds for running the military school are still not guaranteed, and they are still living a bleak life, alas, it is difficult!"

Zheng Yi was silent, lying on the bed and thinking hard, he knew that the Whampoa Military Academy was very difficult in the early days, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and the situation was so bad.

After a long time of weighing, Zheng Yi got up and wanted to discuss it with Zhou Junruo, but found that this guy had already fallen asleep, so he had to lie down again and silently calculate how much food his savings could buy? Will this have a bad effect?
