Escorted by two black Ford sedans with guards, the most fashionable white Citroen sedan in Wuhan slowly drove into the gate of the heavily guarded military station, and Zheng Yi, who was in a complicated mood, stood side by side at the gate of the regiment headquarters compound with political commissar Li Zhao, chief of staff Wang Huchen, and others.

The Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy has been renamed the Central Military and Political School, but many people are still accustomed to the original name, and Zhang Zhizhong, director of education and director of the training department, resigned and left after weighing it again and again because he could not make a choice in the increasingly fierce struggle between various factions of the KMT.

At the banquet to bid farewell to Zhang Zhizhong, Gu Mengyu had a conversation with Zheng Yi, and the two were really familiar with each other, although they knew each other before the Northern Expedition, they never said a word.

At the school affairs meeting of the Central Military and Political School held not long ago, Gu Mengyu, who is a party representative of the military academy, proposed that Zheng Yi be the director of the training department, which had been vacant for a long time.

Zheng Yi has great respect for Gu Mengyu, who was born as a scholar, Gu Mengyu is a member of the old league, graduated from the University of Berlin in Germany, was already a professor at Peking University ten years ago, and then went south to serve as the president of Guangdong University at the invitation of Mr. Zhongshan, and is now a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and the Minister of Propaganda.

The white Citroen slowly stopped, and Zheng Yi immediately stepped forward to salute and thoughtfully opened the car door for Gu Mengyu.

Gu Mengyu, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, got out of the car and shook hands with Zheng Yi cordially, and shook hands with Li Zhao, Wang Huchen and others to say a few words of greeting, and then introduced Wang Jingwei's secretary Zeng Zhongming:

"Brother Zhongming, you and Xiao Zheng have met, I won't introduce much, this is Lieutenant Colonel Li Zhao, the political commissar of the military station, this is Han Shouren, the deputy head of the garrison regiment, and this is Lieutenant Colonel Wang Huchen, the chief of staff of Xiao Zheng, and the field teaching and training of the cadets depends on their help!"

The personable Zeng Zhongming stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Li Zhao and others warmly.

Li Zhao had great respect for Gu Mengyu, who was powerful but approachable, and was secretly wary of Zeng Zhongming, who had returned from studying in France, so the smile on his face was quite reluctant.

After greeting each other for a while, they entered the main hall of the regiment headquarters and sat down.

Gu Mengyu took the fragrant tea offered by Zheng Yi's hands and said a few polite words, pointed at Zeng Zhongming, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "I am here today to accompany Brother Zhongming...... Xiao Zheng, Chairman Wang admires your talent very much, and I want to put some burden on you, I hope you don't shirk anymore. ”

Zeng Zhongming explained with a smile: "Chairman Wang was supposed to come here in person, but because he had to send me here to bid farewell to Borodin and others who went to Changsha to investigate the Ma-Ri incident, he specially told me to convey my apologies to you on his behalf. ”

Zheng Yi's attitude is very correct: "Thank you Chairman Wang for your care!" Although the Wuhan Military Station is directly under the jurisdiction of the General Headquarters, it is also under the leadership of the central government, so Brother Zeng does not need to be polite, just call me if there is anything in the future. ”

Gu Mengyu's eyes lit up, then nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly.

Zeng Zhongming was very happy to listen to Zheng Yi's words, and felt that Zheng Yi was not as difficult to deal with as rumored, and his tone became much more cordial:

"When Xia Douyin led the reactionary army to attack Wuhan a while ago, some people accused the Wuhan military station of supporting the troops and not complying with the dispatch, but Chairman Wang was very aware of the importance of the Wuhan military station, and clearly told everyone that the Wuhan military station is an important place for military logistics and must be strictly protected and must not make any mistakes, and it is incorrect to accuse Colonel Zheng Yi of supporting the troops and not complying with the dispatch!"

"Chairman Wang suppressed all criticism in a few simple words, and before he came, he also specifically told me to convey to Colonel Zheng that I should not care about the inappropriate remarks of some people, and that the central government and himself would trust Colonel Zheng as always."

Zheng Yi thanked him again, and said with a somewhat playful smile: "Actually, when Xia Douyin's department was a hundred kilometers away, and the central princes were still discussing whether to appease or meet the head-on attack, we were ready to fight. ”

"After repeated deductions, we found that Xia Douyin's division was less than 10,000 people, and there were no aircraft and artillery to help the battle, so it was difficult to break through the joint attack of General Ye Ting's 24th Division and the 1st Independent Division, not to mention that the 1st Division of the 9th Army led by General He Long had already rushed to the battlefield, so we didn't move."

"If Xia Douyin's department really has the ability to defeat three divisions and approach Wuhan, we will not hesitate to go up, and we still have this overall situation."

Gu Mengyu listened to it interestingly and couldn't help laughing.

Zeng Zhongming, who did not understand military affairs, also smiled: "I heard that Colonel Zheng is unwilling to take up the post of director of the training department of the Central Military and Political School, Chairman Wang, Minister Gu and other members of the Central Committee all regret it. ”

"In view of this, Chairman Wang convened a special meeting of the Military Commission the day before yesterday and unanimously agreed to appoint Colonel Zheng as director of the Training Department of the Central Military and Political School and concurrently as the post supervisor of the Wuhan Military Station.

Zheng Yi was surprised at first, and then immediately showed a look of embarrassment: "This ...... Is there something wrong? As early as 1 March, the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army had issued me a new letter of appointment, and the Military Commission should have put it on file...... Please wait a moment while I bring out the letter of attorney. ”

Gu Mengyu and Zeng Zhongming looked at each other with shocked faces.

Li Zhao and Wang Huchen knew that Zheng Yi was acting, but they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they were very uncomfortable, so they had to hold up the teacup to hide the smile at the corner of their mouths.

Zheng Yi quickly took out the letter of appointment and sent it to Zeng Zhongming, Gu Mengyu turned sideways to take a closer look, and was quite embarrassed after reading it.

In the end, it was Gu Mengyu who became a practitioner, and suggested with a smile: "In this case, Xiao Zheng, it is better for you to take over the burden of the director of the Major General Training Department of the Military Academy...... At the beginning of the military academy, you were already the chief instructor, and after Zhang Wenbai left, the military training was all up to you, so don't shirk it anymore. ”

Zheng Yi hesitated for a long time: "It's difficult for me!" Since Commander-in-Chief Chiang was stationed in Nanjing, all the military supplies and logistics were transferred to Shanghai and Nanjing, and the situation of the Wuhan military station became worse and worse, and the allocated funds became intermittent, so that the recruitment and training of new soldiers had to be stopped in order to ensure the food and salary of the station's 5,000 officers and men. ”

"At this time, I really don't have so much energy to take care of other things, I implore Minister Gu and Brother Zhong Ming to explain to Chairman Wang for me after they go back, Zheng Yi sincerely thanks Chairman Wang for his care, but I am worried that the General Headquarters and the Military Station Headquarters may issue new orders at any time, judging from the current war situation and Ninghan relations, it may happen at any time to transfer me out of this place or cancel the Wuhan Military Station!"

Zeng Zhongming didn't expect things to become so complicated, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and the two letters of appointment signed by Wang Jingwei in the name of the chairman of the Military Committee were already in his bag.

Gu Mengyu didn't expect the result to be like this, but he knew Zheng Yi's ability to govern the army, and keenly grasped one of the important factors: "Xiao Zheng, how many officers and soldiers are there at the Wuhan Military Station?" ”

Zheng Yi replied truthfully: "There are 750 officers and men in charge of the station's military quartermaster logistics, including five operational units, a baggage battalion, and an automobile team with eight trucks, and the attached garrison regiment has three infantry battalions, one machine gun battalion, and five directly subordinate companies, plus a new battalion in training, and the number of officers and men is more than 4,300. ”

Gu Mengyu nodded thoughtfully: "Your garrison regiment is already equivalent to a brigade of the main force, and the weaponry and training are far superior to the main force, we were negligent before!" ”

"Let's go back for the time being, report your actual situation to Chairman Wang and the Military Committee, and I believe that a new decision will be made soon." Xiao Zheng, you also have to be prepared, not to mention anything else, you must not shirk the work at the military academy. ”

Zeng Zhongming stood up in understanding, Zheng Yi did not stay, and led a few brothers to send the guests out of the regiment headquarters, and watched the white Citroen sedan leave in a hurry.

"Boss, are you really willing to accept the appointment from Wuhan?" Wang Huchen asked in a low voice, and Li Zhao, Han Shouren and others were full of concern.

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "If you have money, you don't accept it, it's your grandson." ”

The brothers immediately understood, and Li Zhao smiled and said, "What would you do if you only sent you a few letters of appointment and didn't give you money?" ”

Zheng Yi replied easily: "Then I will wipe my ass with Chairman Wang's letter of appointment." ”

The brothers laughed, and Zheng Yi had already turned around and returned to the courtyard.

Zeng Zhongming and Gu Mengyu returned to the Central Party Headquarters and immediately went to see Wang Jingwei and reported in detail the content and process of their conversation with Zheng Yi.

Wang Jingwei thought for a moment: "Brother Zhaoxiong, Zheng Yi seems to be bargaining with us!" ”

Gu Mengyu nodded: "That's right, I did an analysis on the way back, and I feel that Zheng Yi is not perfunctory to us, Commander-in-Chief Jiang and his descendants are now busy with the Jiangbei War, investing more than 200,000 troops, and consuming nearly one million military expenses every day, not counting the large expenses of Commander-in-Chief Jiang who constantly buys princes from all walks of life." ”

"Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for Nanjing to take care of the Wuhan Military Station, not to mention that the Wuhan Military Station is no longer as important as before, and Zheng Yi, who is good at military training, has indeed stopped recruiting new soldiers...... However, the garrison regiment attached to the Wuhan military station was definitely a well-trained and well-equipped elite unit, and it would be a pity if Commander-in-Chief Chiang was transferred away. ”

Wang Jingwei nodded slowly: "That's true, this elite army must not be taken by Lao Jiang, I didn't know that Zheng Yi had been promoted to major general and station supervisor, if it was appointed again, it would be inappropriate, it seems that it has to be reconsidered." ”

"The appointment of the director of the training department of the military academy can be retained, Zheng Yi is indeed good at military education, and his knowledge of military theory is very profound, and his classes are the most popular among the students."

Gu Mengyu has rich experience in the field of education, and he admires Zheng Yi's talent in military education the most, followed by Zheng Yi's training methods.

Wang Jingwei is as good as a stream: "That's right, this can be decided, in addition, I want to ignore Zheng Yi's position as a major general and station supervisor of the Wuhan Military Station, give him the number of the independent second division directly under the Central Committee, the Army, and the Commission, and appoint him as the commander of the major general, and all the officers under him are promoted to the first level, what do you think?" ”

Gu Mengyu thought for a moment: "It's feasible, with his current strength, it can be regarded as worthy of his name, but I'm afraid you will have to bear his military expenses from now on." ”

Wang Jingwei laughed: "This is simple, as long as he can be used by me and accept my appointment, it is to expand to an army, and I can also ensure that there is no shortage of his military spending, haha......"
