Chapter 85: Metamorphosis (13)

Beginning on April 19, 1936, He Jianye began the intensive training of more than 1,400 people in the 16th Regiment, and the training of field fortifications, shooting, physical training, endurance training, and other combat skills began in an orderly manner. He Jianye took Zeng Da and immediately rushed to the division headquarters.

"Report, He Jianye was ordered to report!" He Jianye reported loudly at the door,

"Come in," Li Yutang shouted,

"Come, sit." Li Yutang motioned for He Jianye to sit down, and then asked the guards to pour He Jianye a glass of water.

"The training you have carried out in the regiment is good and effective, but some of your measures are not safe!" Li Yutang said,

"Division commander, did someone make a report? Yes, I have revised some of the military regulations, abolished the small stove for officers, advocated equality between officers and soldiers, and prepared to deal heavily with officers who deduct military salaries. But I'm doing this to improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops! He Jianye explained,

"I know, but if you cut it with a knife, some officers may be very dissatisfied! It's hard to say what will happen in the future! Li Yutang said,

"Division commander, I think it's normal to be dissatisfied, as long as it helps to improve combat effectiveness, you can put it forward, and we will improve it, but if you want to do something special, I suggest that these officers be transferred out of the 16th Regiment, and I will never stop it!" He Jianye said strongly,

"Really, in this case, your grassroots companies and platoon commanders will lose a lot of money! And these are all veterans! There will even be individual battalion commanders who will be transferred! In this way, there will be no problems with the combat effectiveness of your 16th Regiment, you must know that we have not imagined the graduates of the Central Military Academy in the past two years! Li Yutang said,

"Division commander, my plan is like this, I can't keep those who want to go, and it is convenient for me to reorganize the team even if I go, as for the replenishment of grassroots companies and platoon commanders, I already have a way. It will definitely not reduce the combat effectiveness of the 16th Regiment, and I promise that it will be a brand new 16th Regiment in a few months. He Jianye said,

"Okay, it's good to have confidence, the recruits and equipment that the Ministry of Military Affairs has replenished you are expected to arrive on April 29, and you will directly bring someone to pick them up at that time. Lest a few groups make contradictions! Li Yutang said,

"Yes, Commander, if there is nothing else, I'll go first?" He Jianye asked,

"Let's go!" Li Yutang waved his hand and said,

He Jianye left the division headquarters and went straight to the fertilizer store of the He family in Nanchang, asking the person in charge of the store to prepare a large amount of grain, vegetables and meat to be sent to the barracks, and the person in charge of the store pulled He Jianye and said, "Second young master, you haven't stopped supplying food and vegetables to your family some time ago, and you have increased so much now, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”

"Oh! What is the difficulty? Can't Nanchang buy it? He Jianye wondered,

"That's not it, the key is that the family has taken away most of the funds, and the eldest young master said that he would use it for other purposes, and we don't have so many funds to pay in advance!" The steward's sad face said,

"Well, well! Let's follow the original supply for the time being! I'll figure it out! He Jianye returned to the barracks after speaking,

He Jianye, who returned to the barracks, wanted his eldest brother to siphon out so much money at the regiment headquarters, what did he do? I suddenly remembered that I hadn't paid attention to Geling's progress for a long time, "I'm afraid that the steel plant started, and it cost a lot of money to recruit workers and various infrastructure and food reserves; It's a big deal, I took out the frozen meat from the warehouse to supplement everyone's nutrition, more than 5,000 tons is enough to eat for several years, right? But you can't eat it all! He Jianye thought,

"Forget it, beef and mutton in the Republic of China are cheaper than pork, tomorrow I will go to the steward and open a store specializing in pork and chickens and ducks. That should flatten out. You can't always let the family make up for it, hundreds of people can still make up for it, and now thousands of people are estimated to be struggling to make up for it. It's not a day or two after all. He Jianye, who had made a decision, was about to leave the regiment headquarters to sleep, but he didn't expect Deputy Regiment Commander Xia to come in, holding a large stack of papers, and shouted when he entered the door, "Regiment commander, I can't stop it, many officers have submitted reports for transfer, and they are all looking for a good acceptance of the troops." And a lot of them went to other regiments of our 3rd Division, which ......."

"Oh! Show me a lot! Tell me, who are they? He Jianye didn't bother to look at it, and asked directly,

"Regiment commander, there are two battalion commanders, 6 out of 9 company commanders, and 20 out of 30 platoon commanders! This is going to go, our 16th Regiment must not fall apart! "Deputy Head Xia is in a hurry,

"Ding Dong!" He Jianye stood up, put over the chair and didn't care, and said, "Put it here, approve it, and approve it tonight; If you want to go, I won't stop you; Twisted melons are not sweet! ”

"Commander, how can it? I didn't say I was leaving! Deputy Head Xia said,

On April 26, after most of the officers were released, the 16th Regiment still carried out training as usual under the leadership of the instructors, and did not relax the training because of the departure of the officers.

"Then you want to hire the pig killer and the chicken and duck cleaner? How much is available per day? A large number of words can be sent directly to the restaurant, with the development of the He family in Nanchang for so many years, many restaurants have good cooperation. The steward asked,

"No, it's all packed up, and it can be sold directly, just ask two knifesmiths who can clean up the whole piece of pork. As for the quantity, on the first day, six big fat pigs, 50 chickens and ducks, will be sent later. He Jianye commanded,

"Okay, Second Young Master, I'll call someone to arrange it!" The steward is gone,

On the afternoon of April 27th, He Jianye came to the fertilizer store, and arrived at the pork and chicken and duck store under the leadership of the steward, He Jianye looked at the shop, it was not bad, there was a place for people to rest behind the storefront, He Jianye pointed to this place, "Open a door behind this piece, and then deliver the goods every day from the back door, and you sell in front of it in the morning, if the sale is good, it will be good to the delivery of Zeng Da." ”

After going back that day, He Jianye asked Zeng Da to get a wooden truck to transport goods out, put on a mule and horse and confessed, every day he sent meat to the store at night, and asked him to deliver it every day back to put it in the room next to the logistics warehouse of the regiment headquarters, someone delivered, and he just sent it every day, and since then, He Jianye has one more job, that is, every day before going to bed, he got out of the warehouse and put the frozen meat to be delivered that day on the car.
