Thanks to the continuous negotiations between President Chiang and the officers and commanders of various departments of the Huangpu Army, the Second Division of the Guangdong Army gave up the material warehouses and barracks in the East Gate, and successively handed over more than 2,000 captured rifles and 10 Makqin heavy machine guns and a batch of ammunition to the Huangpu Army, plus more than 3,000 captured firearms and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition quietly hidden by the battalions and companies of the Second Regiment.

At Zheng Yi's request and persuasion, Yu Feipeng replaced a guard company temporarily assigned to the Tamsui Military Station with a guard platoon mainly composed of Shandong recruits, and then transferred a company of Huangpu III cadets to serve as the guard of the military station through the transfer between various departments.

Two days later, Zheng Yi led the team to the small farm yard five miles west of the city, and transported all the materials stored here into the military station in the city.

Feeling that the grain stored in the military station was too small, the friendly troops of various units not only did not support the distribution of captured grain, but instead sneered, so angry that Deputy Director Chen and Lao Xie, who were in charge of negotiations, came back and scolded his mother, Zheng Yi decided to avoid the landlords and wealthy merchants in the city protected by the Guangdong army, and took advantage of the fleeting ten-day recuperation period to launch a revolutionary propaganda campaign throughout the surrounding villages and towns with the strength of the Whampoa Army itself, and by the way, beat the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and raise enough food and military expenses.

When Zheng Yi returned to the station, he immediately wrote out a proposal and rushed to the Political Department to hand it over to Zhang Qixiong, a familiar political propaganda officer and a fellow villager from Hubei, and they discussed and exchanged ideas and implementation results on the proposal for more than an hour.

Zhang Qixiong, a resolute and resolute member of the Communist Party, submitted Zheng Yi's political propaganda proposal and his own opinions to the Political Department that night, and won the support of the majority of the participants and the approval of Director Zhou at the subsequent political meeting.

In less than two days, the revolutionary propaganda campaign of the Huangpu Eastern Expeditionary Army, which was supported by the peasant army of eastern Guangdong, spread to all the towns and villages around Tamsui, and hundreds of thousands of peasants and ordinary people were deeply encouraged by the revolutionary wave, and nearly half of the towns and villages threw themselves into the vigorous movement to fight the local tyrants and make a revolution, and the revolutionary truth instantly spread throughout the land of eastern Guangdong.

As the grain arrived at the temporary military station in Tamsui City in batches, Zheng Yi, who was also the station supervisor of the military station, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all regiments and battalions in the army were able to receive enough food and materials every day, and all the long and short guns and various ammunition that could be used were also distributed.

Yu Feipeng came to the military station at this time to inspect, and saw that the third phase of the cadets of a platoon and a company attached to the military station insisted on training in the drizzle, and the five material warehouses were clean and orderly, filled with grain, oil and salt, Yu Feipeng showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Xiao Yi, your efforts have solved the urgent needs of the whole army, I will not forget, the principal and the ministers also see it." ”

"This is the responsibility of subordinates, and it is also the result of the efforts of the comrades of the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China." Zheng Yi is not greedy for merit.

Back in the spacious and tidy office, Yu Feipeng took the fragrant tea offered by Zheng Yi and smelled it, and tasted it with interest: "Good tea!" I didn't expect you to have the best phoenix single fir here, where did it come from? ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "After the Cantonese army withdrew at noon yesterday, I led the cadet company to search the courtyard next door, and found two Lewis machine guns, two Browning pistols, five shell guns, twelve flower machine guns, fifty-three British Enfield rifles, more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition and two good horses......

"I didn't report these weapons, and they are all equipped with the officers and soldiers of our station. In order to eliminate the adverse effects, I did not confiscate the money of the enemy commander, did not embarrass his family, allowed him to quietly flee to Hong Kong with his wife and children, and brought back a few catties of tea when he returned, and I asked Adjutant Xu to take it away later. ”

Yu Feipeng was stunned, thought about it, and praised Zheng Yi's decisive and ruthless and low-key handling methods: "Well, it's good! It not only eliminates the potential danger, but also does not offend the friendly forces too much, is reasonable, advances and retreats in a measured manner, and handles it very well. ”

Zheng Yi was very helpless: "The chief still understands me!" Several platoon commanders of the companies that accompanied me in raiding the house accused me of not making a thorough revolution and of compromising with the reactionary warlords, and some even suspected that I had secretly accepted money, otherwise I would not have let go of the enemy regiment commander next door. ”

Yu Feipeng grinned: "I'm relieved now, do you know why I came here in the rain?" Nine days ago, you sent the political propaganda proposal to the Political Department, which quickly aroused the great attention of the Political Department and President Jiang, although you did not mention anything about the shortage of food in the proposal, but President Jiang and the rest of us saw your true purpose, and felt that the food problem had seriously threatened the overall plan of our army, President Jiang and Director Zhou discussed and decisively agreed to launch a large-scale political propaganda campaign, otherwise the scene would not have been so big and vigorous. ”

Zheng Yi was speechless, and looked down on the hypocrisy of President Jiang and the Kuomintang governors, but after thinking about it, he calmed down, when did the Kuomintang have a real revolution? I have fulfilled my duty and solved the problem of food for all officers and men, and there is nothing more satisfying than this.

Yu Feipeng smiled at Zheng Yi: "I have something to tell you, I was reluctant to let you be transferred out of the Quartermaster Department of the Military Academy before, but I didn't expect that I would leave the Quartermaster Department first, and I will soon serve as the full-time quartermaster of our army, which is in response to what you once said: The plan has not changed quickly!" ”

Zheng Yi was taken aback: "So, the expansion of the army is imminent?" ”

Yu Feipeng nodded: "Not counting the second and third phases of the apprentices, our Huangpu Army has increased to four regiments of 5,000 officers and soldiers, and there are two regiments of recruits who are about to arrive in Guangzhou, and the expansion will naturally come naturally." ”

"In order to avoid misunderstandings among the friendly troops, and there are still differences in whether it should be called a school army or a party army, we have not made any public announcements, but internally we have quietly implemented the expansion according to the establishment of a brigade."

"Originally, I wanted to transfer you to the side and start with the section chief, but your Uncle Zhou Shi will find it difficult to find a competent person to help him share his worries for a while, so he can only maintain the status quo for the time being......"

"Of course, in the end, I still have to transfer you out to do things, your Uncle Zhou Shi is the think tank of Principal Jiang, and he will not stay in the military academy for a long time, I am here to tell you this today, I hope you will be mentally prepared first."

Zheng Yi immediately stood up: "Zheng Yi obeys the commander's arrangement!" ”

"Sit down and talk, there is no need for this kind of courtesy in private."

Yu Feipeng looked at the teacup, Zheng Yi immediately took it over and poured out the tea leaves, replaced it with a new cup of tea and brought it to Yu Feipeng, Yu Feipeng smiled with relief:

"With the experience of the Eastern Crusade and three meritorious contributions, and the position of temporary station supervisor, you have all the conditions for promotion, and age is no longer an obstacle, but you still need to be conscientious in the next few days, and you would rather give up some opportunities than make any mistakes, understand?"

Zheng Yi nodded: "I understand, my subordinates must guard the Tamsui military station and no longer think about extraneous matters." ”

Yu Feipeng was very satisfied with Zheng Yi's astuteness and obedience: "In this way, I can rest assured, don't think that only you see the huge crisis contained in the direction of Huizhou, in fact, President Jiang, Director Zhou, He Jingzhi and Wang Maoru and other generals have long seen the variables, and the reason why they still have to adhere to the established strategy together with the Guangdong army and continue to attack Chaoshan, Meizhou and other directions is entirely because of political needs." ”

"Under the current circumstances, the key to unifying Guangdong is to defeat Chaoshan and Meizhou and completely eliminate Chen Jiongming, the maggot of the tarsal bone! You're already very good, far more than any of your peers, but you still need to strengthen in politics, but this thing can't be rushed for a while, hone it slowly, don't be discouraged, there are opportunities. ”

"Yes!" Zheng Yi was convinced.

Yu Feipeng looked at his watch and stood up: "Principal Jiang has approved the formation of the guards of the military station into the establishment of our quartermaster department, I will officially hand over this platoon to you today, and the candidates for the platoon leader and squad leader will be determined by you. Well, I have a meeting in the evening, and tomorrow morning the whole army will march eastward, and I will go with the headmaster, and I will leave it to you here. ”

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the main forces of the Whampoa Army left Tamsui and drove continuously to Puning and Jieyang, the hinterland areas of eastern Guangdong where the enemy situation was complicated, while the Guangdong Army switched from the left flank to the right flank and attacked the wealthy towns of Chao'an and Shantou in eastern Guangdong.

Only 500 officers and soldiers were left behind in Tamsui City, undertaking the heavy responsibility of transporting military supplies and guarding the back road.

Among the 500 officers and men who stayed in Tamsui, including nearly 200 officers and men of the temporary garrison station in charge of Zheng Yi, including 150 of the third phase of cadets who were served as company commanders by graduates of the first phase, and a total of 45 soldiers of the guard platoon of the military station led by Zheng Yi, plus Zheng Yi and the service soldier Duan Xuan, the total number of officers and men at the military station was 197.

The two companies responsible for the defense of Tamsui City are all third-term trainees, and the officers leading the team are all instructors of the military academy, who get along well with Zheng Yi, divide labor and cooperate, and send two platoons to sneak out of the north and northeast for 10 kilometers every day to be on strict alert, and to guard against the enemy in Huizhou at any time to take the opportunity to seize Tamsui.

Zheng Yi was very worried about the safety of Tamsui City, but the city defense was not under his control, so in addition to allocating food and supplies to the frontline departments, as long as he was free, he trained the guard platoon brothers in his own way every day.

The intensity of the training program was very varied, interesting, and competitive, but the enthusiasm of the brothers in the whole platoon was very high, and in addition to the fact that there were enough fish and meat for three meals a day, and the two platoon commanders and six squad leaders were equipped with flower machine guns and shell guns that were coveted by the brothers' troops, the brothers not only did not have any resistance, but demanded that Zheng Yi increase the amount as soon as possible.

Zheng Yi attaches great importance to the first army he led, although the number is very small, and there are only forty-six people in the service section, but this is the first armed force that Zheng Yi has controlled since joining the army, and it is also the meticulous care and expectation of Commander Yu Feipeng for Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi even had such a premonition: Forty-six brothers from Shandong and southern Zhejiang may be the foundation of his own business!
