The second floor of King Teng's Pavilion was already trembling, and cold dishes were placed on the table; The waiter has already started to serve hot dishes, and the Gan cuisine genre in Nanchang is representative of the roasting, stewing and stir-frying, but it is clear that the chef here will not only cook the Nanchang style of Gan cuisine tonight; The dishes served by the waiter constantly show the richness of the banquet, such as sea cucumber eyebrow balls, rice fragrant duck, Xinya four treasures, sauce-flavored elbows, roasted lamb chops, Pohu white water fish head, tea-fragrant peace dove, Pohu steamed lotus root balls, etc.;

He Jianye and Leng Qi were the last to arrive, with the two of them seated! Zhu Youqian nodded towards Xiong Shihui, stood up and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have the honor to represent the officials and gentry of Nanchang to invite Chairman Xiong of Jiangxi Province, Commander He of the Nanchang Garrison Command, and Deputy Commander Leng; Originally, when Commander He first arrived in Nanchang, the contemptible people wanted to set up a banquet for Commander He to catch the wind, but it happened that the Wuhan War was in full swing, and the brothers were entangled in vulgar things, so there was really no time; I would like to apologize to you first! Today, everyone eats and drinks well, and after the meal, a dance party is prepared on the first floor, and everyone is invited to enjoy it! Now, I would like to ask Chairman Xiong to give you a few words! Everyone is welcome! ”

"Mayor Zhu has a heart; In the period of national disaster, this kind of grand banquet was really a bit extravagant and wasteful in Nanchang, Jiangxi, a place only 100 kilometers away from the devil, but today is different! Because this is to entertain Commander He, who is protecting the lives and property of our Nanchang fathers, I think it is worth it! Don't waste it, eat and drink as much as you like! Xiong Shihui ended his speech briefly, the banquet had just begun, naturally it was not the time to get down to business;

He Jianye did not immediately have the idea of a showdown with the officials and gentry in Nanchang; After coming here, He Jianye knew that if these officials and gentry in Nanchang did not have some support, they would not openly violate the orders of the Supreme Command and not evacuate the people in the city.

He Jianye tidied up his military appearance, took a glass of wine, stood up, first bowed slightly to the people around him, and then said in a kind tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very grateful to Mayor Zhu for his hospitality today; Thank you for your hospitality; Since my brother was ordered to guard Nanchang, he was really a little panicked; Not for anything else, just because Nanchang City is under the attack of devils, and the brothers are busy rectifying the city defense and training soldiers; The anti-blackness some time ago also frightened you; Today, all of you here are important members of the government and celebrities from all walks of life in Nanchang, here, brothers will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, thank you for your cooperation with the work of the Nanchang Garrison Command, I will do it first. Dry! After He Jianye finished speaking, he craned his neck and drank the wine in the cup in his hand.

"Let's eat first! Commander He, let's taste the chef's craftsmanship first! Drink! Take it easy! Zhu Youqian gestured to the waiter behind him to fill He Jianye with wine,

"Commander He, try this dish, Jingde porcelain clay simmered chicken; See how the kitchen is made? Zhu Youqian pointed to the steaming dishes on the table and said,

Under Zhu Youqian's eyes, those officials and gentry suppressed the urge to toast and watched He Jianye eat; These people are not here for these delicacies at all, mainly to find out whether He Jianye will put the devil into Nanchang and have a scuffle in Nanchang; If that's the case, they'll lose a lot!

......

There were only a few people at the table who accompanied He Jianye to dine, all of them were figures with heads and faces in the government, in the staggered cups, the wine had slowly passed the thirty seasons and the five flavors, Zhu Youqian put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and said to He Jianye,

"Commander He, some time ago, the central government's food and salary delayed the supply of the garrison headquarters, and I have already ordered the officials below to do things! I will make up all of it for you tomorrow, including what you owe in the previous two months, and I will make it up to you together; I hope my brother will forgive me! I'll punish myself with a drink! ”

After Zhu Youqian finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup, and someone behind him immediately poured it for him!

"Chairman Xiong, Mayor Zhu; I'm a soldier and like to go straight! If there is something you like to put on the table, I hope you don't mind! The next words may be a bit ugly, but I'll punish myself with a cup of reparation! I hope you don't mind! He Jianye also drank the wine in the cup,

In fact, He Jianye is very coarse in his heart, Mayor Zhu, the mayor of Jiangxi Province, has been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years, and if you really want to talk about the level of officialdom, even if you tie yourself to one fast, you dare not be half of this old politician; Not to mention comparing with Xiong Shihui; So it's better to spread it out.

"Brother, please feel free, soldier! You have your way of speaking and doing things, and Chairman Xiong is here; There is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Zhu Youqian said,

The tables next to them heard the movement of this table, and they all put down their glasses and listened carefully; They estimate that the meat show is coming!

"Chairman Xiong, Mayor Zhu, from all kinds of intelligence and situation analysis, the next target of the Japanese attack is Nanchang, where we are now. And the Ninth War Zone has already made a deployment, and the mission of the contemptible people is to live and die with Nanchang City! It is the duty of our soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy under the city of Nanchang! On the other hand, as soldiers, we should take obedience to orders as our duty, take pride in defending the country, and swear to the death to safeguard the national character of the Republic of China and defend the honor of Chinese soldiers. Today, all of you here are important members of the government and celebrities from all walks of life in Nanchang, and the garrison of Nanchang still needs to rely on your cooperation and cooperation. He Jianye said word by word,

"Commander He spoke too politely, you are the protégé of the chairman of the committee, the elite of Whampoa. Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he has fought in various battlefields, experienced many major battles, and made great achievements. Although the war preparations for Nanchang City have begun to be fully prepared, due to the chaotic situation, there are difficulties in all aspects! Some of the work we are not very familiar with, there must be a lot of omissions and places that cannot be done, I hope Commander He will not hesitate to correct it! Zhu Youqian stood up, pointed to all the gentry present and said,

Of course, He Jianye knew what Zhu Youqian meant, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he couldn't play Tai Chi anymore, and said to Zhu Youqian and Xiong Shihui: "Chairman Xiong, Mayor Zhu, brother is ordered to defend Nanchang this time. The Supreme Command has already issued an order for the evacuation of the whole city, and there are capable people from your government in charge, so I don't need to ask more, but the task is on my part, and my younger brother can't help it. Please also ask the two of you to be considerate, and the brothers want to ask: When will the citizens of Nanchang start evacuating? Where are you going to evacuate? How is it placed? ”

He Jianye's straightforward question suddenly made the entire banquet fall into silence, and everyone was calm and concentrating, waiting for Zhu Youqian to speak! After all, Zhu Youqian is their spokesperson!
