October 15th, the third day of the ninth lunar month.
There are six days left before Zheng Lanting's 50th birthday, and Xu Maofu finally returned to Hong Kong. Arriving by boat with Xu Maofu, there were also Zheng Yi's eldest brother Zheng Heng's family and eldest sister Zheng Xuan.
Four limousines drove directly into the bustling dock to pick up people, and the British police and Indian Ah San on the dock saw the license plate of the convoy and immediately stood up and saluted, attracting the envy and envy of countless people.
The old housekeeper of Zheng Mansion, who was sitting in the first car, was the first to get out of the car, and went around to the car behind to open the door for Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi had already taken the first step out of the car, and said to the old housekeeper, "Don't be so polite in the future", and then greeted Xu Maofu, who was running in stride.
"Big brother!"
Xu Maofu threw down the two big suitcases, and when he came up, he gave Zheng Yi a strong hug: "Big brother, we can be together again, haha!" ”
Zheng Yi immediately understood that Xu Maofu must have brought the latest instructions from the central government, raised his hand and hammered his strong chest, and whispered "Go back and talk about it", and then quickly stepped forward and said hello to the eldest brother Zheng Heng and sister-in-law who were full of surprise, and finally walked up to Zheng Xuan, who was pretending to be angry, and gave Feng Jingzhai a hug: "Brother-in-law, let's meet again." ”
Feng Jingzhai enjoyed Zheng Yi's strong family affection very much, gently patted Zheng Yi's back, and sighed quite exaggeratedly after separation:
"Tsk! Seeing that you look like a successful person now, I can't help but think of the photo you sent to your sister in a military uniform three years ago, which is completely two people, and it feels like many years have passed. ”
"Are you two gentlemen? Is this the place to talk? I'm still holding my baby. Zheng Xuan complained unhappily.
Everyone laughed, and Liu Yu, who was moving slowly, had already rushed over, hugged Zheng Xuan and apologized vigorously, and then took the child in Zheng Xuan's arms and teased a few words, and then turned around and walked to the third car with Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Heng and his wife walked to the first car under the guidance of the old housekeeper, and the two bodyguards and the old housekeeper brought by Feng Jingzhai had already put their luggage in the second car.
Zheng Yi hurriedly pulled Feng Jingzhai and walked to the last brand-new luxury car with Xu Maofu.
Feng Jingzhai was pleasantly surprised when he saw the silver glittering luxury car in front of him, and strode to the front of the car to carefully examine the exquisite celebratory goddess logo:
"It's so beautiful! This is the latest Rolls-Royce silver ghost, right? Did you buy something new? ”
Zheng Yi smiled: "That's right, this customized silver ghost is currently the only one in Asia, originally ordered by Mr. Rochester, the Lord Chancellor of Hong Kong, a few days ago I went to the car dealership to buy a car and happened to meet him ready to pick up the goods, he saw that I liked this car, so he generously transferred it to me, and this special license plate was also given by him." ”
"Can you order one for me?" Feng Jingzhai asked eagerly.
Zheng Yi explained: "If it is specially customized, you have to let the old man come forward, if you don't need special customization, you just need to place an order, and it can be shipped to Shanghai after half a year." ”
Feng Jingzhai immediately made a decision: "Of course, it must be specially customized, and I will make a request to the old man when I go back later." ”
"What about me? How did you forget me? Xu Maofu also came over to join in the fun.
"When can I miss you, the company's car let Lao Cao and them drive away, I was planning to buy two and put them in Kowloon for the company's use, and then go to the car dealership to take a look, I saw a high-chassis Rover van, very practical, haha! Get in the car and talk about it later. ”
Zheng Yi walked around the front of the car and boarded the cab.
……
……
The convoy of four sedans slowly drove out of the dock area, drove south along the dusty road, turned three streets, and took more than 20 minutes to return to the Zheng family's mansion at the foot of Taiping Mountain.
The eldest wife, the second aunt, and the fourth aunt led the children to wait on the steps in front of the main hall, all with happy smiles on their faces.
Before the car could be stopped, more than a dozen servants had already rushed up and carried the luggage from the car to the house.
Zheng Yi whispered a few words to Feng Jingzhai who got out of the car, started the car again, drove out of the courtyard, and went to the Xu family compound in the northwest with Xu Maofu.
The car drove out of the hospital gate and entered the straight road, Xu Maofu immediately reported to Zheng Yi: "I sent Comrade Peng back to Jiangyin, and I was lucky to meet Chairman Zhou, who was very concerned about you, asked me a lot of questions about you, and appreciated your attitude very much, and was also full of emotion. ”
"After listening to my request, Chairman Zhou thought about it for a long time before agreeing to transfer me to your side to carry out work. The day before I left Shanghai, Chairman Zhou's traffic officer handed me a letter telling me that it was a handwritten letter from Chairman Zhou, and that it was in my suitcase, and that you should take it out and read it when you got home. ”
"Have you seen the other commissioners?" Zheng Yi asked.
Xu Maofu nodded: "See, the six Politburo members are here, it seems that they have just arrived from all over the country, because there is no ship to return to Shanghai that night, I will stay in Jiangyin for one night." ”
"That day I lived in the outhouse of the courtyard, and the committee members held a meeting in the inner room overnight, and it was very quiet at first, but not long after I heard the sound of Comrade Peng Peng arguing with two committee members, Comrade Peng Peng thought that you should be allowed to return to the army, that your military ability was irreplaceable, and that Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu had sent telegrams to the Central Committee twice, requesting that you be transferred back to the army."
"It's a pity that the other committee members disagreed, and made it clear to Secretary Zhongfa, saying that the punishment of Zheng Yi can be regarded as a high and lenient manner, and if Zheng Yi, who does not listen to the instructions of the central government and goes his own way, is allowed to return to the army, it will lose supervision and balance, damage the prestige of the central government, and if Zheng Yi is not good, he will go further and further down the wrong road."
Zheng Yi shook his head helplessly, turned the corner, and said in a low voice after entering the north-south road: "I have figured it out, I can work for the party anywhere, not only will I not be discouraged, but I will also do a better job in military logistics!" ”
"Xiaofu, don't have any complaints, we have to establish a business route for the arms trade as soon as possible, I plan to wait for the old man's birthday to be over, and then let you go back to the mainland, first go to Shangguan Yong, and then go directly to Wuhan, talk to General Li Zongren, and strive to sell arms to the Gui army."
Xu Maofu asked suspiciously: "We have been selling medicines to the Gui army before, but the current Gui soldiers are strong and strong, not only occupying the Hanyang Arsenal, but also resuming the production of the Hengyang Arsenal, will they buy arms from us again?" ”
Zheng Yi smiled disdainfully: "The Hengyang Arsenal has not been built for two years, don't think about making achievements, you don't know what the Hanyang Arsenal has become now, it is not bad to be able to produce a thousand rifles per month, the cost price of the imitation Makqin heavy machine gun is fifty percent higher than the selling price of European and American arms dealers, can you bear it if you are a leading general?" ”
"The two bullet production lines of the Hanyang Arsenal have long been backward, and they can only produce round-headed bullets and 7.63 shell gun bullets, with a monthly output of less than one million rounds.
"Will the Gui family really fight with the Jiang family?" Xu Maofu asked.
"There will definitely be a fight, and it will start in less than half a year, so we must hurry up and sell as many guns and artillery as possible to the Gui family, so that we can earn enough funds for the central and base army forces." Zheng Yi said confidently. (To be continued.) )
