Chapter 61: Three fires for the new official to take office
Zhang Kexin has been studying since she was a child, worshipping Mulan, Mu Guiying, Lu Siniang, etc., and admires those heroes or generals who command thousands of troops. Today, the Northern Expeditionary Army is like a bamboo, capturing Tengxian County, majestic. Of course, she also came with her brother to greet her.
Mixed with the crowd of people on both sides of the road, looking at the energetic officers and soldiers, Zhang Kexin was very excited, but just as she was looking, she found a thin figure, which immediately stunned her.
Li Ling? Li Ling, who was once rejected by her, actually rode a tall horse, dressed in the costume of a revolutionary officer, and walked on the avenue with great dignity, enjoying thousands of glory.
Zhang Kexin had mixed feelings in her heart, and Li Ling once said that she would definitely visit within three years. Three years to the east of the river, three years to the west of the river. It's only been a short time, and Li Ling has actually returned with honor. He was snubbed by himself that day and turned him out of the door. I regretted it very much afterwards, and it seems that it is time for him to fulfill his promise.
"I never look at the appearance of the world, if you do something within three years, I will depend on you in everything." Zhang Kexin clearly remembered what she had said. Now it seems that this fate is destined, and even some episodes in the middle can't reverse the ending of the two. Moreover, his father, Yi Bo Yuntian, heard that his friend and disciple came to propose marriage, and he was angry with him, so he was furious at that time and made a death rule, and he must find Li Ling and marry in this life. Anyway, as long as he proposes marriage again, he will depend on him.
Li Ling was in high spirits, raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly saw a beautiful figure, which was so thrilling. The snow-like skin, graceful posture, eyebrows, and picturesque face all made Li Ling breathless.
Finally, I came again, and I saw this lovely man who insulted me again. During the Republic of China, the phenomenon of male superiority and inferiority of women was significant, and men often divorced their wives and divorced. There are few things that are rejected by women. And Li Ling was humiliated by the divorce that day, and Rao is angry when he thinks about it now. I thought fiercely in my heart if I was going to let out a breath of turbidity.
Zhang Fayao also discovered where Li Ling was, and under the light in his eyes, he frequently greeted him. Li Ling just smiled and nodded, not having the slightest joy at seeing his eldest brother.
Under the arrangement of the regiment commander Li Yantang, the third regiment was stationed near the county office. Arrange for the battalion and company commanders to go back to their own areas to rest and recuperate. Due to the establishment of a new ** battalion, Li Ling served as the commander of this battalion. Although the official approval has not yet been issued, Li Ling has nothing to do and can't wait to get familiar with his camp.
The welcoming ceremony of the Northern Expeditionary Army from top to bottom of Teng County was very grand. In front of the county office, Zhang Fayao delivered a welcome speech on behalf of Xiangzi, praising the revolution and welcoming the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army.
Speaking on behalf of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, Li Yantang said that he would not disturb the people, would not take the masses to the front line, unite with the villagers and neighbors, and jointly guard against the enemy army.
Due to the good reputation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, when the welcome ceremony was over and Li Yantang had just returned to the station, the local gentry came to visit one by one. Li Yantang couldn't take a break, and hurriedly went out of the door. Zhang Fayao and he introduced each other to each other, and after a few words of greeting, he cut to the point, and said: "Today, the Northern Expeditionary Army has defeated Teng County with the power of the dragon and tiger, and it is really talented. My Zhang family has some relationship with Li Ling, but I didn't expect to be an official under Commander Li. This evening, I invited Regiment Commander Li to lead all the subordinate officers to the Yipin Building, and everyone also paid their respects. ”
"Oh?" Li Yantang was very curious, and said with a smile: "The old man of the Zhang family is highly respected and known to the world. Brother Zhang was born in the Tengxian family. I didn't expect to meet my brother. Then we have to bother one or two today. ”
Zhang Jinghu is the first person of the "big" generation of the Youth Gang, and his power is overwhelming. Originally, he was the brigade commander of the 76th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Government and the guard of Tonghai Town, but later the Northern Expeditionary Army went to Shanghai and voluntarily resigned to avoid Shanghai and concentrate on accepting apprentices. Because of his large number of disciples and grandchildren, his power was so great that even Chiang Kai-shek, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, gave three points. On the wedding day of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling in Shanghai, Zhang Jinghu was invited as a special guest to attend the scene. The Zhang family is so powerful, of course Li Yantang is happy to make friends with them.
"What? Li Ling is the younger brother of Captain Li. Zhang Fayao was very excited when he heard this. During the Republic of China, it paid attention to the right door. He once thought that Li Ling was born in a stubborn landlord and rich family, and he was extremely unsuitable for the Zhang family. If his brother was a regimental commander at the rank of major general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it would be a different matter. The two are strong together, and no matter which side is in power, both sides are winners.
Zhang Fayao laughed and said, "Hahaha, it turns out that I and Head Li are a family." Last year, Li Ling came to my Zhang's house to propose to his sister-in-law with the token of love given to him by his master. Since my father was not at home. There were some misunderstandings in the middle, which led to the temporary suspension of the marriage. Since Head Li is Li Ling's elder brother, and the fathers of both parties are not here, when the two of us are in charge, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. ”
Li Yantang was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "I have been away from home for some years, and I don't know when I got engaged. I know that the third brother has a master surnamed Ren. In this case, the eldest brother is like a father, and I will make the decision on this matter. ”
Li Yantang was inexplicably excited, the third brother has been with hooligans since he was a child, if he can set up a family, it is better to gather away and concentrate on business. What's more, being able to marry the Zhang family can be described as a great joy.
And Jiang Dingwen learned that Li Ling and the Zhang family had an in-law relationship, and said with a smile: "I thought I thought I looked down on this Li Ling, but now it seems that it is not high enough." Where is he now? Shall I be the matchmaker? ”
Li Yantang and Zhang Fayao are overjoyed, and they have Jiang Dingwen to protect the media, which can be said to give people enough face. Li Yantang said: "He is now going to the ** battalion to take office." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Dingwen frowned, he knew that there were a group of arrogant and unruly figures in this ** battalion, and the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level were regular Huangpu people, and they would definitely reject Li Ling, an outsider. Jiang Dingwen was also very curious, and wanted to see how Li Ling subdued the officers and soldiers of this battalion, so he smiled and said: "Since it is a banquet in the evening, now everyone will go to the ** camp with me to have a look!" ”
Li Yantang knew that he cared about Li Ling, and he was also a little moved, so he immediately took some officers and surrounded Jiang Dingwen to the station of the ** battalion.
He Jiatang and other brothers all went to the county town to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and Li Ling only took Sun Yuzhu to the ** camp to take office. Although Sun Yuzhu is not a soldier, he is very addicted to officials, and when he heard that Li Ling was in the army, he followed him over to take a look.
This ** battalion is directly under the jurisdiction of the military department, and most of the soldiers are composed of elite soldiers who have been captured, and the platoon commanders are all graduates of the regular Whampoa Military Academy. Qin Mushu, the deputy battalion commander, was lying sullenly on a bench. He was a fourth-term student of Huangpu, and he could have been promoted to the rank of battalion commander long ago according to his merit and qualifications, and he was quite resentful of Shangfeng's appointment of an outsider as the battalion commander. Although Li Ling is Li Yantang's younger brother, he is also very exclusive in the First Army of the Northern Expedition.
The barracks are temporarily housed in the Tengxian Primary School, and the houses are very simple, with only a few houses in a row. Outside the house, a tall ancient banyan tree shades the entire playground in the sun. A dozen large round tables covered with dust were laid out in an orderly manner, the floor was covered with leaves, garbage, and crooked stools, and some officers and soldiers sat and squatted in boredom. Turning a blind eye to the arrival of the two.
Li Ling looked around, couldn't help frowning secretly, walked up to a soldier in his forties, and said, "Call your deputy battalion commanders, instructors, company commanders, and platoon commanders over." ”
Seeing Li Ling's costume with the rank of lieutenant colonel, the soldier did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up to summon him. But Li Ling found a bench to sit down and waited quietly. Li Ling has never formally led soldiers, and in his cognition, officers and soldiers are strictly disciplined, except for eating, sleeping, and fighting, it is training. And here, the officers and soldiers are scattered, and there is a little bit of a soldier's appearance.
Li Ling didn't know that the battalion commander of this ** battalion was originally transferred to another position, and the deputy battalion commander was naturally corrected, but Li Ling was sideways. Qin Mushu was disheartened, and he was in no mood to restrain his subordinates for the time being, so he let them rest everywhere.
There were already documents coming down from above, and it was known that the battalion commander had come to take up his post. Qin Mushu led his subordinate officers to arrive, and he disdained Li Ling, so he saluted casually, and then pinned his head to the side, without even the slightest greeting.
Being so ignored by others, Li Ling's heart was on fire, and he snorted coldly: "I am the new ** battalion commander Li Ling, is this your attitude when I see the commander?" ”
Qin Mushu's expression changed, and the corner of his eyes skimmed Jia Chungui, the commander of the second company. Jia Chungui understood, took two steps forward, and said, "Since you are the battalion commander, can you have a letter of appointment?" ”
Li Ling was stunned, he came here to take a look first, and it was estimated that it would take ten days and a half months to be appointed. And when asked at this time, he was speechless.
Everyone is happy to see this scene, and it is really ridiculous to come here to take office without a letter of appointment. Qin Mushu sneered and didn't say a word. Jia Chungui shouted: "There is no letter of appointment, how can I take office." Who can prove that you are true or false. ”
was squeezed by a subordinate, Li Ling's old face turned red, but there was no way. And Sun Yuzhu, who came here with Li Ling, saw this scene and shouted: "What are you, and what qualifications do you have to see the letter of appointment." Brother Ling came here to take office because he looked up to you. Mother, one by one, they pretended to be uncles. ”
Jia Chungui was also angry when he heard this, this person came with Li Ling, although he was five big and three thick, he didn't wear a military uniform. Because he was instructed by the deputy battalion commander and was insulted at this time, Jia Chungui was furious and scolded: "Where did the little red guy come from to spread wild here, and he doesn't look at what kind of place this is, oops...... You dare to hit my ....... ”
Sun Yuzhu was so angry that he didn't wait for him to finish, he picked up his fan-like palm and slapped it on Jia Chungui's face. Jia Chungui never expected that this person would do it when he said it, and he covered his face and was stunned on the spot for a while.
Even the deputy battalion commander Qin Mushu was shocked, pointed at Sun Yuzhu and said, "You dare to beat an officer in the army, you ...... You....... ”
"What are you, Lao Tzu even fights with you." Li Ling was also very annoyed, raised his right leg, and kicked Qin Mushu in the chest with a strong kick
