Fangcheng, a city that originally belonged to Guangdong, was taken down by Yan Weidong, who was strictly observing Xiao Mubai's orders, when he captured Nanning, during the revolutionary army's Eastern Expedition to the north. Although the revolutionary power www.biquge.info of the Communist Party has been established in the entire city of Fangcheng, as in most areas, it is clear that the tentacles of the Communist Party have not yet had time to extend into the countryside.

Yuzhouba on the outskirts of Fangcheng, although there have been many heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes by the imperial court in recent years, and the troubles of the displaced people and the chaotic party have not stopped, but for the small fishing village close to the sea, the villagers' lives can barely be regarded as subsistence. Now, in this small fishing village, all the fishermen of this small fishing village are as usual, rising and resting, and they seem to be unaware of the changing banner of the king at the head of the city.

It was not until this day that the arrival of a group of revolutionary soldiers completely shattered the former tranquility of this small fishing village. As usual, a few bare-bottomed children were frolicking on the hillside at the head of the village, as usual, and a child who stood up and looked into the distance suddenly saw a group of soldiers in green uniforms heading towards the beach near the sea, not far from the village. In a panic, he just picked up a few of his friends and hurried to the village.

After hearing their children's words, the villagers immediately panicked, and they couldn't help but be afraid, after all, the lessons from the past are not far away, a few years ago, the revolutionary party revolted in Fangcheng and Qinzhou, and the situation of the Qing army suppressing bandits crossing the border is still vivid at this moment!

When the discussion was fruitless, the old village chief had to lead a few more daring villagers to inquire.

Since the initial capture of Nanning, a regiment led by political commissar Chang Bin was stationed there, while division commander Yan Weidong led the rest of the troops to continue north to capture the provincial capital Guilin. For this small fishing village called Yuzhouba, it was not because Chang Bin had nothing to do in Nanning and wanted to come here to blow the sea breeze, but because he had received an order from Xiao Mubai to come here to build a military port for the navy.

Hearing the news that there were local villagers outside asking to see him, Chang Bin was stunned, and Chang Bin, who couldn't think of a reason, asked the soldiers to invite them in, anyway, sooner or later they had to deal with the nearby villagers.

Since I walked into this barracks, with the experience of the old village chief for decades, I felt that these soldiers were different from the officers and soldiers I usually met. There were too many of them, and in the end, even he couldn't say what the biggest difference was.

Chang Bin still doesn't understand the old village chief's intention, he is also from a bitter background, and he can't understand these anymore. At that moment, after some great persuasion, the old village chief and his party were persuaded to leave.

Regarding Chang Bin's words, the old village chief heard it in a fog, but he heard that these people were here to repair some port, and this official treated his people more kindly and politely. What kind of revolution is not revolutionary, the people are not the people's army, the old village chief does not care at all, in his opinion, as long as he does not run into the village to harm the villagers, then thank God.

Since October 30th, Yuzhou Dam, which used to be a bit desolate beachhead, has suddenly become lively, and many people have been moving things here one by one in a car with strange noises emitting black smoke, leveling the land, building roads, planting trees, and building houses;

However, the things that these people built made the villagers a little incomprehensible, they built a long and wide house by the sea, so big that many people never thought of it in their lives. It wasn't long before a large part of the area was surrounded by walls and barbed wire, and the villagers couldn't see it if they wanted to. But it doesn't matter if you can't see it, the key is that these people are really different from the officials and soldiers in the past, although many people carry guns, but they speak politely and trade fairly, because of their arrival, the fish they hunt, the vegetables they usually grow, and they don't have to be set up and sold in the big and far, but they are all dealt with nearby, and after the pockets gradually bulge, the villagers gradually accept and identify with these new neighbors. Of course, these are all later words.

When the soldiers of the First Division and the construction engineering team were rushing to work day and night in the defense of the city, Xiao Mubai was meeting a person at the General Staff Headquarters of the Revolutionary Army in Wuhua Mountain.

Qu Tongfeng looked at Xiao Mubai, who was correcting documents behind the desk next to him, his heart seemed very complicated, and his mind was full of thoughts for a while. This is an enigmatic man, with the experience of staying abroad, with extraordinary abilities and means, and in just a few years, he has come to a road that others need to take decades to walk. At a time when he was seldom accomplished and in a high position, he suddenly made another magnificent turn, became the leader of the revolutionary party overnight, and became the de facto leader of the southwestern provinces within half a month. Now, he has reverence for this young man from the bottom of his heart.

For the revolutionary party, Qu Tongfeng actually did not reject it in his heart, and even faintly sympathized. Qu Tongfeng sincerely admires the revolutionary party's spirit of saving the country and the people, but Qu Tongfeng is a little disdainful of their means to achieve things. Because of his background in Beiyang, after the Yunnan Revolution, although he was able to respond to the power in Dali in a timely manner, he was still only placed in the embarrassing position of deputy commander of the provincial military district. Thinking of this, Qu Tongfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Weiqing, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I just have some urgent matters to deal with, I'm really sorry." Xiao Mubai's apologetic voice interrupted Qu Tongfeng's thoughts.

Qu Tongfeng raised his head, it was Xiao Mubai's eternal humble smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze when they saw it. He stood up at the moment and smiled humbly: "It's okay, Chief of Staff, I'll be out of the way." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you. I came to you today for an important matter. ”

"Oh? Don't know what's going on? Please ask the Chief of Staff for instructions. Seeing Xiao Mubai's expression, Qu Tongfeng also realized the extraordinaryness of the matter.

"Wei Qing, I heard that you were from the navy in the past? Have you ever served on the capital ship of the Beiyang Naval Division 'Dingyuan'? ”

Although Xiao Mubai's words made Qu Tongfeng a little confused, he still replied honestly: "Yes, I first learned to pilot the engine on the 'Tai'an' warship. Later, he was transferred to the capital ship of the Beiyang Naval Division "Dingyuan" as a second-class engineer. During the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, 'Dingyuan' was hit by a bullet and caught fire, I fell into the water and was rescued, and after the war, I entered the Beiyang Military Academy to study and transferred to the army. ”

When talking about the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Qu Tongfeng's eyes flashed with an obvious ray of essence, obviously he was not relieved of this battle.

"How about it, Weiqing, have you ever thought about going back to your old profession and having the opportunity to fight with Little Japan again?" Obviously, the resentment on Qu Tongfeng's face was fully visible to Xiao Mubai.

Now it's Qu Tongfeng's turn to be surprised, what does this mean? Let yourself do the navy? But I'm an army! I haven't touched this thing in more than ten years. Besides, I haven't heard that the Communist Party has a navy? Teach little Japan a lesson, who wouldn't want to! But that's not realistic! After the shock, Qu Tongfeng, who came back to his senses, had no choice but to speak: "Navy? I haven't been in contact with the navy for many years, and besides, we don't have a navy and access to the sea? ”

"If you haven't been exposed to it, you can step up your studies! Without a navy, we can build; There is already an outlet to the sea, and the military port on the side of Fangcheng in Guangdong has already been built. ”

Hearing Xiao Mubai's answer, Qu Tongfeng unexpectedly calmed down, through the contact of the past two years, he knew very well that Xiao Mubai was not the kind of person who said big things, since he said so now, he was sure to be sure. At this time, he also saw Xiao Mubai's ambition in the world, the navy, which can only be played by the country.

"I'm willing to obey orders."

"From today, you officially assume the post of commander of the Navy and concurrently serve as deputy chief of staff of the General Staff. The military rank is tentatively Major General. Later, the General Headquarters will transfer Comrade Ma Xiang to the post of political commissar of the Navy and be your partner, and I hope that you can cooperate with each other and do a good job. ”

"Yes." In response to Xiao Mubai, Qu Tongfeng's loud voice was heard.

"Okay, Wei Qing, you take these materials first, you can come to me directly if you have anything." Xiao Mubai pointed to a pile of information about the Navy on the table.

"Chief of the General Staff, I don't know, whether I am qualified to join the Communist Party." Qu Tongfeng looked at Xiao Mubai in front of him and said sincerely.

"Hehe, Weiqing, what are you talking about, our Communist Progressive Party welcomes all people with lofty ideals who serve the country and the people to join." Xiao Mubai, who came back to his senses, was full of smiles.

Hearing Xiao Mubai's affirmative reply, Qu Tongfeng saluted a standard military salute, and strode out with his head held high.
