The streets of Tamsui were full of devastation, the streets were full of officers and soldiers with loaded guns, there was not a single civilian in sight, and the air was filled with the smell of bloody gunsmoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Yi and Adjutant Xu rode through the crossroads lined with sentry posts, and crossed the shops and mansions on both sides of the street that were closely guarded by Cantonese officers and soldiers.

Zheng Yi didn't need to ask anyone to know that the Cantonese army was protecting the landlords and wealthy tycoons who gave them a lot of money, and there were indispensable enemy generals and colonels who took off their military uniforms after the defeat, and the three enemy brigades stationed in Tamsui were originally from the Cantonese army.

Before arriving at the temporary headquarters of Dongmen Street, Zheng Yi saw from afar that the Huangpu Army in ragged uniforms was still extinguishing the fires in the East Gate that were affected by the war, saving houses and shops, but he didn't see half of the friendly troops involved.

The headquarters was temporarily set up on the campus of the spacious and quiet Tamsui Middle School, and Principal Jiang, who was the chief of staff of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the right flank, was still presiding over the military meeting, and Zheng Yi followed Adjutant Xu into the classroom allocated to the temporary office of the Quartermaster Department, and the two section chiefs immediately sent Yu Feipeng's instructions and the battle report just sent by the headquarters.

Zheng Yi sat at the large table with eight desks spliced together, read it carefully three times, and then raised his head, nodded and thanked the clerk who sent him a cup of hot tea, picked up Yu Feipeng's instructions and asked puzzledly:

"Section Chief Chen, oh no, I should call you Deputy Director Chen, Deputy Director Chen, you should be responsible for the task of temporarily setting up a freshwater transit station, why do you want me, an inexperienced acting transportation section chief, to take on such a big responsibility?"

Chen Shi, who was promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy director of the Quartermaster Department when he was over 30 years old, is also from Zhejiang, and when he saw Zheng Yi's confused face, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Chief Yu said that he doesn't want to see you go to death, otherwise I'm sorry for Chief Zhou, so I'll find you something to do, haha! However, I appreciate your courage and superb marksmanship, if it weren't for teaching the Second Regiment to ask for credit for you, we would still be in the dark, well done, and we will be honored by all my colleagues in the Quartermaster Department! ”

Zheng Yi finally understood: "So, I can't advance with the army in a few days?" ”

"Where is it so fast, after this battle, our army suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers were exhausted, not to mention five hundred dead and wounded, and more than six hundred people were lost, it is estimated that they either became deserters, or did not find the body, at least ten days and a half months of rest and replenishment before they can continue the war, so it is necessary to set up a temporary military station in Tamsui, and this person in charge must be you."

Xie Le, deputy chief of the food and service department, joined the chat.

Zheng Yi didn't understand the meaning of Lao Xie's later sentence: "It's me?" What do you mean by that? ”

Lao Xie and Chen Shi looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Shi explained kindly: "Xiao Zheng, although you are relatively young and slightly lacking in qualifications, your business ability is still quite strong, and your contributions are obvious to all...... What's even more rare is that you can be literate and martial, have the courage to take responsibility, in the words of Chief Yu, with you Zheng Yi in Tamsui City, we will not suffer losses, we will not be bullied by others, we all think you are the best candidate. ”

Zheng Yi shook his head with a wry smile and asked why there were so few seized materials? Knowing that more than 15,000 long and short guns, 37 light and heavy machine guns, and millions of rounds of ammunition were captured by the Guangdong army, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and couldn't help but scold the Guangdong army.

Chen Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you scold a few words behind your back, we must do a good job of unity in person, we are now alone, and we have to rely on others to fight side by side, and the principal and the ministers are still negotiating, it is estimated that after the military meeting, the officers and commanders of the Guangdong army attending the meeting will give up some captured materials." ”

"What about the grain? Why didn't you see a record of grain seizures in the war report? In my opinion, food is far more important at the moment than hoping that people will give up some broken guns, unless every battle can be won and food is captured, otherwise thousands of people will go hungry, don't forget that our Whampoa Army is a revolutionary army, and it will not plunder the Quartet. Zheng Yi said his worries angrily.

Chen Shi was stunned, he really didn't pay attention to the matter of food, seeing Lao Xie shaking his head helplessly, he couldn't help but worry: "It is estimated that the headquarters does not have much money to buy grain, even if there is money, it may not be able to buy grain, the entire eastern Guangdong is Chen Jiongming's territory, except for the peasant army of the Communist Party of Eastern Guangdong, there are not many people who support us, it is time to prepare in advance......"

"No, no, no! Taking advantage of the fact that the military meeting was not over now, I cheekily broke in and raised this issue, how could I let the Cantonese army give us some food. ”

Chen Shi hurried away, and Lao Xie, the deputy section chief in charge of food and clothing, shoes and hats, couldn't sit still, and chased out after whispering thanks to Zheng Yi for his help.

Zheng Yi finished drinking two cups of tea and put the instructions and battle reports into his jacket pocket, and a childish-looking guard walked over and handed over a brand-new strap-type briefcase with both hands: "Sir, this is the briefcase for you." ”

Zheng Yi happened to be short of a briefcase, so he said thank you and took it, took out the official document in his pocket and put it into the delicate and sturdy brown briefcase, signaling that the young guard standing in front of him could go.

The tall and thin guard blushed and explained: "Sir, I am your orderly, and it was Commander Yu who asked me from the recruit regiment. ”

Zheng Yi was stunned, he didn't expect that he also had a soldier: "Listen to your accent, it's the batch of recruits who came from Shandong at the end of last year, right?" When did you get to this place? ”

"I am the fourth company of the supplementary regiment, the four companies are Shandong soldiers, have been training in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou before, today just arrived in this place encountered a war, and then a few horseback commanders brought us from the west gate into the city, we did not send guns, can only help to send ammunition to carry the wounded, when the battle is over, Chief Yu and several commanders of the command headquarters to the supplementary regiment to pick people, our company commander said that I am literate, have practiced boxing and kicking for a few years, call me out, Chief Yu asked a few words to come to me." The young soldier's face was full of unease.

Zheng Yi asked with a smile, "I don't know what your name is?" How old is it? ”

The soldier saw that Zheng Yi was very kind, and his heart was much less worried: "My name is Duan Xuan, simmering is a fearless fear on the side of the word fire, I am almost seventeen, I am a native of Tancheng in Lunan, and I go south along the Yishui River to northern Jiangsu." ”

Zheng Yi didn't expect his orderly soldiers to be so young, so he smiled and encouraged kindly: "Duan Xuan, this name is good, you are literate, and you have practiced boxing, you can be regarded as both civil and military, as long as you work hard, you may be able to be a general in the future, I remember that there was a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty called this name, the history books say that the famous general Duan Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty was decisive in killing, strict in governing the army, and was especially good at commanding cavalry battles." ”

"That's what my dad said." The soldier said happily.

Zheng Yi was amused: "Haha! Let's go back and say that I haven't had lunch yet, so I'll find something to eat and then find a place to sleep...... We're going to get busy again tomorrow, and you're just in time for me to need a helper. ”

Before dawn the next day, Zheng Yi, who had slept for twelve hours in a row, changed into a coarse cloth military uniform, quietly opened the door, came to the playground to say hello to the guards on duty and began to run.

Duan Xuan, the little orderly soldier, woke up when Zheng Yi got up, and saw Zheng Yi go out for morning exercise and wanted to go with him, but he didn't dare, so he had to order fuel, clean the hut, and tidy up housekeeping.

At seven o'clock in the morning, it was drizzling in the sky, Duan Xuan hurriedly went out to take back the clothes and shoes that had just been dried, Zheng Yi accelerated his writing, came to the rear canteen of the temporary headquarters at 7:30, and handed over the implementation plan for the formation of the military station to Yu Feipeng.

"Xiao Zheng, don't go, there are still seats here, sit down and eat together." Director Zhou of the Political Department kindly called Zheng Yi, and Yu Feipeng and several other officials also told Zheng Yi not to be polite.

Zheng Yi respectfully thanked him, came to Director Zhou and sat down, picked up the porcelain bowl, put the rice porridge on it, and ate it silently, in less than five minutes, he drank three bowls of rice porridge, swallowed eight meat buns and a plate of delicious shrimp mixed with vegetables, and the officials at the table saw Zheng Yi add another bowl of porridge, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Yu Feipeng relieved Zheng Yi's embarrassment in time: "The plan is very good, all aspects are thoughtful, and I don't need to revise it, it can be implemented immediately after directly submitting it to the principal for approval." ”

"Yes."

Zheng Yi put down his rice bowl and straightened his waist.

Yu Feipeng smiled and left with several other colleagues, Director Zhou enthusiastically accompanied Zheng Yi to continue the meal: "Xiao Zheng, you made meritorious contributions to yesterday's battle, if it weren't for all the officers of the second regiment and the third battalion asking for merit for you, none of us would have known that you had quietly appeared on the front line of the siege, let alone that your marksmanship was so good...... You've killed up to nine enemies, two of whom are key heavy machine gunners and one is an enemy company commander. ”

Zheng Yi smiled humbly: "I'm afraid that the results of the battle are not so many, and the number of kills that my subordinates can confirm is only five." ”

Director Zhou smiled: "It's not good to be too modest, haha!" Xiao Zheng, what do you think of this crusade? ”

Zheng Yi thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "My subordinates are full of confidence in the final victory of the Eastern Expedition, but if we don't resolve the increasingly serious differences that have already existed among the armies of the Eastern Expedition as soon as possible, unite as one, and work together, it is very likely that we will succeed or even suffer heavy losses." ”

Director Zhou's thick eyebrows shook slightly: "Oh? Can you elaborate on that? ”

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly: "Director Zhou, please forgive your subordinates for being presumptuous, I believe that you can see everything, and the only one who is really willing to throw your head and spill your blood for the revolutionary war is our Whampoa Army, oh, that's right!" There is also the peasant army in eastern Guangdong led by Mr. Peng, without their intelligence and sacrifice, our Whampoa Army would not have been able to fight so smoothly. ”

"In addition, the friendly armies of the various units cloaked in the cloak of revolution are either warlords at both ends of the head or opportunists with ill intentions, and every step forward of our army is full of danger, and my subordinates are very worried."

Director Zhou nodded slightly, but he was very shocked in his heart, he had already learned about Zheng Yi's origin, knowledge, ability and gradually revealed military talent, but he didn't expect Zheng Yi's vision to be so broad, his mind so meticulous, this kind of insight beyond his age and the city government is very rare in the Whampoa Army, and it is very valuable.
