Zheng Yi wrote a check for 8,600 pounds sterling to Hedr, then took his leave, went to the HSBC bank at the head of the bridge alone, opened an account in his own name for the settlement of military procurement, converted the 3,000 US dollars purchased money given to him by Yu Feipeng into the ocean and deposited it, and then took two young bank clerks to the special wharf, and together with two plainclothes guards, carried two wooden boxes containing 10,000 oceans, returned to the bank, and deposited them into the newly opened account. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was already night when he returned to the military academy, Zheng Yi took out a notepad to make a list, calculated the expenses one by one, and found that the money that Yu Feipeng allocated to himself to buy medicines and surgical instruments was less than 3,000 pounds, and he had to make up 550 pounds to himself when he went back.

Zheng Yi's advocacy for the purchase of 1,000 Mauser C96 pistols and 100,000 rounds of ammunition was purely a helpless move, but if he did not do so, he would not be able to impress the German profiteer Herder, and he would not be able to buy life-saving medicines and surgical instruments for his brothers on the front line.

Zheng Yi was not too worried about the military academy not admitting it.

First, the military academy had already had a plan to purchase a batch of Mauser C96 pistols, but because it could not get funding from the base camp, it had to be delayed again and again; Second, the price of this batch of Mauser C96 is very real, since last month, the price of weapons has been rising, the wholesale price of the German Mauser C96 has risen to more than 30 US dollars, there is no way to buy money, if the military school does not want, they will sell to the guest army in Guangdong, maybe they can make a small profit.

February 12, noon.

The bearded Yu Feipeng returned to the military academy from the front line, and threw Zheng Yi a list when he met: "The main force of our army is invincible, and it is about to surround the enemy's heavy army and hoarding Tamsui City, but Tamsui is not easy to fight, and there have been more than 300 casualties along the way, this time I will send back more than 100 wounded who are alive for treatment, and I will set off again tomorrow morning to send over the 2,000 shells and 500,000 machine gun bullets and all the medicines and surgical instruments you bought back on the front line, and the ship must be loaded before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, you and I will take a trip. Strive to get to Tamsui before launching a general offensive. ”

"Yes."

Zheng Yi walked out with the list, returned to the office three hours later, and saw that Yu Feipeng had shaved off his beard, changed into a straight military uniform, sat behind the desk to correct the documents, thought about it, and gently picked up the teacup in front of him, poured out the small half cup of cold tea, washed it slightly, and made a new cup of tea.

"Don't go yet, sit down."

Yu Feipeng didn't raise his head, put down the brush after writing the last line, picked up the steaming teacup and drank several sips, and then leaned back on the chair quite tiredly: "It's arranged?" ”

Zheng Yi replied respectfully: "It's arranged, several unit chiefs accompany their subordinates to finish counting one by one, all affairs are clear to the individual, and loading the ship at five o'clock in the morning, two hours should be enough." ”

Yu Feipeng sighed: "If the pen is first-class, level, and careful, but he is not bold enough, and he is far worse than you in doing practical things, if it weren't for accumulating credit for him and successfully promoted to the next level after the war, I really don't want to leave him on the front line." ”

"Although you didn't go to the front line this time, President Jiang, Director Zhou of the Political Department, and General Jingzhi (He Yingqin), the chief instructor and head of the first regiment, were full of praise for your ability after reading the telegram that they had bought urgently needed medicines and surgical instruments."

"In the past half a month, Mr. Liao has made several trips to Hong Kong, mobilizing five or six provincial and Hong Kong celebrities to take turns, but he still can't buy the urgently needed medicines, but let you buy them, it's not easy!"

"General Maoru (Wang Boling) has always had a good impression of you, and after reading the telegram, he immediately proposed to give you credit for it, which made me very face-saving."

Zheng Yi said modestly: "If it weren't for your trust, sir, to prepare a lot of money in advance and give your subordinates so much autonomy, your subordinates wouldn't be able to do it." ”

Yu Feipeng was very pleased: "Okay, it's because of your good popularity and good opportunities, otherwise it's useless for me to leave you with more funds." In two days, you will go to the front line with me, and you will change Junruo back, and I plan to put more burden on you, so take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"Thank you, sir! The subordinates feel that it is good for Brother Zhou to come back, the audit department now only has a brand and a section member, and the backlog of documents for two months is too late to be audited, and no one takes the order if the subordinates want to report the account, and then there will be more and more business, and the scale of the military school will become larger and larger. Zheng Yi said quietly.

Yu Feipeng couldn't hear the true meaning of Zheng Yi's words: "If you have a friend like you, it is his blessing!" When the battle is over, put him in the position of major of the audit section when the time comes...... He's only suitable for this, his knowledge and qualifications are barely enough, but you make me very embarrassed, if the principal or General Maoru asks you to go over, do you say I will give it or not? ”

Zheng Yi was very surprised: "What did I do in the past?" Each regiment has its own quartermaster staff officer and baggage company commander, and the general headquarters also has many generals and colonel staff officers, and I don't need to carry things, and it's useless for me to go. ”

Yu Feipeng laughed, and after laughing, he whispered: "The third and fourth regiments of the school army will be established soon, and the expansion will be completed in two months. ”

"No, no, no! Your subordinates still have a chance by your old side, and they don't have to take on so much responsibility. ”

Zheng Yi really didn't want to compete for power and profit with those who coveted official positions at this time, at least he didn't want to leave the Quartermaster Department before the Northern Expedition.

Yu Feipeng looked at Zheng Yi's eyes and said with a smile: "You kid, you always think differently from others, if you don't want to go, just stay, if you really want to go, I don't want to, haha!" ”

Zheng Yi smiled and stood up: "If it's okay, my subordinates will go back and clean up." ”

Yu Feipeng motioned for him to sit down: "The words are not finished yet, you nominate someone to watch the ordnance station for you for the time being, and when the war is over, I will send someone to be the director, there is no future in that place, you don't care, you have the energy to work more on logistics supply and overall coordination." ”

Zheng Yi sat down slowly: "There are really no suitable candidates for his subordinates, if there is really no one, let Xie Xieyuan take the top first, he is still quite authoritative among the brothers in the Ordnance Institute, his business is good, and his skills are also good, but his qualifications are not enough." ”

"Then let him go first."

Yu Feipeng took two more sips of tea: "I heard that in the past six months, you have quietly carried out military training every day, your fists and feet are very powerful, your marksmanship is like a god but it is never revealed in front of others, and everyone else is asleep at night, you are still studying the English version of military theory, writing a lot of notes, and translating a lot of works, do you want to go out to lead troops in the future?" ”

As soon as Zheng Yi heard it, he knew that it was Zhou Junruo's secret, so he had to answer truthfully: "I do have this idea, but I don't have this ability for at least three or five years, and until now, my subordinates have not received the true inheritance of the commander, how dare I talk about going out to lead troops?" ”

Yu Feipeng laughed and was very happy: "You kid, I really don't know what to say about you, okay, get out!" ”

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, the traffic boat of the military academy was loaded with military supplies, sailed away from the dock, and went downstream, Yu Feipeng, who was sitting on a rattan chair outside the cockpit, read the list of supplies, handed it to the adjutant behind him, and looked at Zheng Yi, who was checking the tarpaulin coverage on the port side, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

From yesterday's order to today's departure, everything does not have to worry about Yu Feipeng, when Yu Feipeng got on the ship, Yu Feipeng deliberately checked the loading of materials, and found that everything was better than what he had always requested, even the deck on the ship was much cleaner than before, and the light and comfortable rattan chair under the buttocks was not available before.

Prior to this, Yu Feipeng had met many diligent and studious, down-to-earth and hard-working young people, and met many smart and delicate officers and soldiers, but he had never met a subordinate like Zheng Yi who had many advantages but did not show his face.

The transport boat full of supplies left the waters of the Pearl River and sailed into the mouth of the Dongjiang River, because it was going upstream, the speed slowed down significantly, Adjutant Xu sent hot tea and a comb of bananas, Yu Feipeng happily broke off a banana and peeled it and tasted it: "It tastes good, it is naturally ripe, it can't be seen on the market at this time, where did it come from?" ”

"The brother who drove the boat said that Xiao Zheng got it, a big basket, I don't know where he got it, I asked him to ask."

The young and tall Adjutant Xu called Zheng Yi from the stern: "Where did this banana come from?" ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Stolen, there is a banana forest outside the village across the water in the south of the military academy, it is said that it is an excellent variety introduced from Malaysia five years ago, about a month earlier than the native bananas, I usually like to eat bananas, after loading the boat in the early morning, I suddenly remembered that the banana can be eaten, so I held a bamboo row and wanted to buy two baskets with the villagers, at that time the sky was just dawning, there was no one, and it was too late, so I had to get a basket back first, and then pay after the war." ”

Yu Feipeng laughed, shook his head again and again after laughing: "This is a violation of discipline, don't you know?" ”

Zheng Yi pouted: "I heard two first-phase students say that they had a very hard time during the training in the eastern suburbs, two meals a day could not be guaranteed, and they had to double their training every day when they were tired and hungry, and one of the unlucky eggs among his companions was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he secretly dug up two sweet potatoes in the villagers' fields and swallowed them into his stomach, and was reported and exposed by his peers, and the district captain who led the team was very angry, and after severely scolding the unlucky guy in front of the whole team, he was fined a month's military salary, and let him kneel in front of the village all night. ”

"After hearing this, I felt very heavy and annoyed, and immediately said to the two students: That informant grandson is not worthy of your trust, if he is captured in the war, he will be the first to surrender, your district captain is an idiot with a bad brain, and he will definitely die early."

After listening to Zheng Yi's words, Adjutant Xu and the two guards who came to the side were stunned, but Yu Feipeng nodded frequently: "Well, if you lead the team, how will you deal with it?" ”

Zheng Yi opened his mouth and came: "First of all, I will never let my brothers live so badly, I have at least five ways to ensure that my brothers do not go hungry; Secondly, the district captain who led the team was either a captain or a major, and his monthly salary was either ninety or sixty oceans, and if he cared for his subordinates, he only needed to take out two oceans to buy sweet potatoes from one acre of land, which was enough for the district team of more than 100 people to eat for three days; Third, if it were for me to deal with this matter, I would quietly go to the villagers' homes to apologize and compensate for the losses, and then quietly find the unlucky guy who stole the food, and let him pay me back the money with a military salary, instead of brutally punishing it, leaving the brothers under my command with a lifetime of pain that cannot be erased! The reason for this is because a soldier must have the dignity of a soldier! ”

Yu Feipeng sighed with emotion: "Xiao Zheng, believe me, in time, you will definitely become a famous general in the world!" ”

Zheng Yi didn't have a trace of pride, and there was a faint sadness in his deep eyes looking at the river in front of him: "Actually, the biggest wish of my subordinates is not to become a famous general, but to take every step in a down-to-earth manner, live in a down-to-earth manner, don't die too early, only by living, can we talk about ideals......"
