Chapter 67: Making a Decision (Part 6)
At noon on 4 October, Zheng Yi, who was busy reorganizing the camp at the Wuhan military station, saw the colonel's adjutant sent by Deng Yanda, immediately returned to his bedroom, changed into a suit and leather shoes, and appeared two hours later in the British concession, which was heavily guarded by the British.

Zheng Heng greeted his younger brother into the office on the second floor of the pharmaceutical company diagonally opposite the embassy, closed the luxurious Western-style carved door, and quickly delivered a cup of hot coffee to Zheng Yi.
"What's the urgency that you need to come to in person?" Zheng Heng asked with concern.
Zheng Yi took out a military order from his suit and slowly put it in front of Zheng Heng: "I'll talk about it after reading it." ”
Zheng Heng immediately lowered his head, and after reading the content of the military order, his face changed greatly: "What!?" That's impossible! How dare they do that? Aren't you afraid of war with the British? ”
Zheng Yi took the military order and put it in the inner pocket of his suit: "Do the British dare to start a war?" At most, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, yelled and launched a local revenge, and finally it was bound to withdraw from the Hankou Concession! ”
Zheng Heng was speechless.
As a British-Chinese trusted by the British consul in Hankow, he was able to learn about many policies and the current situation of British national power.
Zheng Yi didn't seem to see Big Brother Cheap's changing face: "Didn't you say a few days ago that the vice president of the Hankou Chamber of Commerce was going to buy your shipyard?" Sell it to him immediately, even if it is a 5% discount, otherwise once the general strike is launched, no one can control hundreds of thousands of people, including General Deng Yanda. ”
"I know better than anyone how you have always dealt with your workers, and once the grievances buried in the hearts of the workers are ignited, I am afraid that there will be no scum left in your shipyard."
Zheng Heng's cold sweat came down: "I'll sell it, sell it immediately!" Although Cai Fuqing, the old thief, took advantage of the fire to rob and only offered a six-percent discount, but he could at least avoid greater losses by selling it painfully, sell! ”
Zheng Yi took a sip of coffee at this time: "The two generations of the Cai family are all extremely rich in the city, and nearly half of the money village in the three towns of Wuhan is opened by his family, Cai Fuqing not only has the shadow of the gang behind him, but also worships Li Yuanhong, and now he is mixed with Tang Shengzhi, and he is full of vigor and spirit, but where did he think that Commander-in-Chief Jiang already hated him?" ”
"Uncle Yu Shishu called several times to praise the "Chutian Daily" for doing a good job, and he is very satisfied with you, which means that Commander-in-Chief Jiang is deeply satisfied with you!"
"Don't worry too much about the temporary losses, if you are brave enough to sell all the docks, warehouses and several processing plants, take advantage of the ten days and eight days of negotiations between the enemy and us in Wuchang City can not reach an agreement, and take advantage of the confidence of those local giants who think they have found a big backer and jump out to make waves, sell all the real estate in your name."
"After getting the money, you don't hesitate, immediately rush to the Huhai Concession, where people are panicking about the sharp drop in housing prices, to buy western-style buildings, buy land, buy shops, I dare to assert: at most two years, it will bring you more than five times the profit."
Zheng Heng was shocked when he heard this, and his white and slender ten fingers trembled: "This ...... This...... Are you really confident? ”
"Have you ever seen me make a mistake since I left home? Even the old man doesn't believe in Hong Kong's economic recovery forecast, isn't it also ahead of schedule? ”
After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he stood up, put on his top hat and prepared to leave.
Zheng Heng was dumbfounded for a while, and hurriedly chased after him and hugged Zheng Yi: "Second brother, eldest brother listens to you!" Big brother couldn't stand you before, don't hold grudges, big brother will definitely make up for it, and he will definitely ......"

……
October 8, morning.
After three days of military training competition, more than 2,500 officers and men of the Wuhan Military Station Garrison Battalion were severely tested, and Zheng Yi was basically satisfied with the results of the training over the past three months, and the 150 officers and men who had emerged as top military training or who possessed a good skill were the first to be taken away by Duan Xuan, the commander of the special service company, and their new station was in the backyard of the regiment headquarters.
In the following two days, the final distribution and reorganization of all the officers and men who had been dispersed was completed, and the appointment and dismissal of officers at all levels and the establishment of each battalion and company were announced.
First of all, the regimental headquarters was enriched.
Zheng Yi, director of the station, concurrently served as the head of the regiment, Han Shouren served as the deputy commander, Wang Huchen served as the chief of staff of the regiment, Li Zhao served as the political commissar of the regiment, and Cao Mancheng served as the intelligence staff officer.
Eight people, including Dong Zongzhuo and Xu Shaoming, respectively held important posts such as military affairs staff officers, operational staff officers, communications staff officers, and quartermaster staff officers, and the regiment headquarters had four directly subordinate companies, including a communications company, a special service company, a baggage company, and an engineer company, as well as a guard platoon with 50 officers and men, and a 12-man health team.
The first battalion was an infantry battalion, with Major Li Lianshan as the battalion commander, Captain Zhou Wenyi as the deputy battalion commander, and Xu Shaoming as the political instructor, with a total of 465 officers and men.
The second battalion was also an infantry battalion, with Major Li Feng as the battalion commander, and Jiang Wenxun, the former company commander of the Hunan Army who surrendered to Cheng, was appointed as the captain and deputy battalion commander, with a total of 465 officers and men.
The third battalion was the machine gun battalion, with Zhao Jingting, the former commander of the heavy machine gun company of the Hubei Army, as the battalion commander, Qiu Huixian, the old company commander who had followed Zheng Yi since Guangzhou, as the deputy battalion commander, and Dong Zongzhuo as the political instructor. The total number of officers and men of the battalion is 520, and there is a heavy machine gun company, a mortar company, an infantry company, and an engineer company.
The fourth battalion is a garrison battalion with full-time quartermaster logistics and security guards at the station, and Major Xu Zhilin, deputy superintendent of the station, is also the battalion commander, with a total of 457 officers and men, and has an audit unit, a quartermaster unit, a transport team, and two garrison companies.
Teng Yichun, the former battalion commander of the Hubei Army, served as the battalion commander of the battalion, and most of the platoon commanders of most of the companies except the deputy battalion commander and the battalion staff officers were basically Hunan and Hubei officers who had defected to Chengcheng, and were currently leading more than 1,200 local recruits who had been recruited for more than half a month to conduct basic training.
After the completion of the reorganization of the whole regiment, the officers and men of the whole regiment ushered in the first surprise:
The Russian-made Mogan rifles, Browning light machine guns, and obsolete Maxim heavy machine guns that are being used by the battalions and companies were all handed in, and the Czech-made VZ24 7.92mm caliber rifles, Czech-made ZB26 light machine guns, and brand-new Maxim heavy machine guns were replaced with unified standards, and the direct special service companies and machine gun battalions were each equipped with eight French Brandt 81mm mortars.
In addition to the 1,200 rifles left for the recruit training camp, the rest of the rifles and light and heavy machine guns were ordered to be handed over to the Preparatory Office of the Wuhan Branch of the Huangpu Military Academy.
At the repeated urging of the General Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, 1,000 recruits who had been trained in the camp for only 20 days were hurriedly sent to the left-behind camp on the shore of Nanhu, where they would train for another two months with more than 1,000 recruits who had stayed in the camp, and then sent to the battlefield in Jiangxi Province to replenish the divisions of the First Army, which were in short supply of soldiers in the endless campaign.
The officers and men of the Wuhan Military Station Garrison Regiment have not yet become familiar with the new weapons that have just been replaced, and the new training plan has been quickly distributed to all battalions, and all kinds of military training and political education have been carried out in an orderly manner.
Xu Zhilin, the enthusiastic deputy superintendent of the military station, officially took over the auditing, warehousing, and sending and receiving of all military supplies, and shouldered the task of security and security in the barracks.
