Chapter 580: Wang Shifu's promotion
August 12, 1943, noon!
Wang Shihua sat on the front steps of the house where Gu Yushu lived, holding his chin, looking at the sky in a daze.
Since Gu Yushu's death, Wang Shihua's place in a daze has moved here from the threshold of his home.
"Master of the family, fourteen soldiers have come to see you."
"Soldier?"
"Yes! The leader is the adjutant next to the uncle, named Zhang Ping. When my uncle came back, I talked to him a few words when I entertained them. ”
Wang Shihua glanced at Jiang Shoucheng, nodded, got up and walked towards the living room.
"Second Lieutenant Zhang Bin has seen the sir, good sir!"
As soon as he entered the door, he said that Zhang Ping saluted himself, Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he still had the identity of a regiment commander.
Returning the salute and sitting down, Wang Shihua asked with a smile: "How is Shirong?" ”
"Report to the Chief's ......"
"Sit! Sit! In your own home, you don't have to be so polite, just casual. ”
With Zhang Ping's words, Wang Shihua didn't know what to listen to, and was startled when he heard it: Wang Shirong, the head of the regiment, was definitely killed by his knife and gun. Of course, money has also been put into it.
The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the three Battle of Changsha, the Battle of Changde, plus other small battles, no less than 30 times, large and small, Wang Shirong was able to take the lead, take the lead when charging, and retreat after the palace, and won the unanimous approval of the soldiers...... To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that the mistakes he made were similar to the merits he made, otherwise, with his military exploits and a large amount of money, the division commander would not dare to say that it would be more than enough to be promoted to deputy division commander. And among the mistakes he made, the biggest one was in the defense of Changde, when he was the deputy commander, and their regiment was ordered to relieve the siege of Changde, as a result, at the most critical moment of the battle, the regiment commander died in battle, but the other deputy regiment commander who temporarily took over the position of the regiment commander actually ignored the friendly troops, regardless of Wang Shirong's battalion who was fighting in front, and fled without authorization. Wang Shirong saw that most of his men were killed and wounded, and when he came back, he was furious, without saying a word, and slaughtered the other party with one shot in front of the division commander. If it weren't for his outstanding military achievements, and the division commander was reluctant to kill him, and there was money to open the way, otherwise, even if he was not shot, he would have to sit through the prison.
And the regiment he is leading now has only more than 1,100 soldiers, and it still merges another regiment that has also been disabled, which can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and it can also be seen that the battlefield is fierce. This is thanks to the protection of Yinqian and the division commander, saying that he was sent to the rear to be stationed and repaired, but in fact, he went to avoid the limelight. Otherwise, how could Wang Shirong take the opportunity to pass by and come back to give Wang Ji'an a funeral.
After listening, Wang Shihua fell into a long silence. After a long time, he asked, "......What are you doing this time?"
"Sir, a few months ago, we fought a fierce battle with the little devils, and we suffered heavy casualties, no, these brothers were seriously injured at that time, and there was no time to move with the group...... This time, on the orders of the regimental seat, I went to the military hospital to pick them up and take them back to the regiment. ”
Wang Shihua understood: They had something to ask for, otherwise, there would be absolutely no need for the adjutant to pick up these soldiers who had returned from injury. Thinking about it, Wang Shirong encountered a big difficulty that could not be solved for a while, and it was difficult to talk to himself, so he had to do this.
"I and Shirong are brothers, if there is anything I can help, you just have to tell me."
"This ...... This ......"
"Everyone is a soldier, show some of the boldness of a soldier, speak!"
"Yes! Now that the war is going on, it is difficult to allocate military spending in a timely manner...... Sir, the brethren have not been paid for more than four months. ”
"So difficult?"
"Sir, to put it mildly, not counting the food you ate here and the reception banquet in Xuan'en, the last time I saw the fishy smell, it was when the team was opened, and the division headquarters specially rewarded us with some pork ......"
Wang Shihua nodded, and said to Jiang Shoucheng, who was sitting on the side: "Shoucheng, you go to the account room and get 100,000 oceans." ”
"The head of the house, do you want to get some more pigs and sheep and the like to send to the uncle?"
"No, I don't. They are in Xuan'en, far away, all the way over, trouble. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Ping got up and saluted Wang Shihua with emotion, even with the more than a dozen soldiers.
"Xie Mozi, everyone is their own person, and it is inconvenient for a while, so it is appropriate to support each other. By the way, are there any other difficulties? Just speak. ”
After feasting them for a meal and drinking, and personally sending them out, looking at their figures, Wang Shihua's eyes were solemn and he was silent for a long time.
And Zhang Ping's visit naturally couldn't be hidden. The other three had long suspected that Wang Shirong and Wang Shihua were singing a double reed that day, but now when they heard the news, they immediately determined it, thus accelerating the union of the three.
With 100,000 oceans in his carry, Zhang Ping dared to stay at all, galloped all the way, and arrived in Xuan'en City, Hubei Province three days later.
Wang Shirong listened to Zhang Ping's story, looked at the ten silver tickets of 10,000 oceans on the table, and was also silent for a long time. After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he added: "Tuanzuo, the second master is worthy of being your brother, I just said that the above has not allocated our military salary for a long time, the second master didn't ask, and directly asked someone to give me 100,000 oceans, and asked me if it was enough...... Tuanzuo, the subordinates dare to speak a word of conscience, judging from the results of the investigation and the second master's personality, you may really misunderstand the second master. In fact, the main reason why Wang Shirong was angry with Wang Shihua was that he was a little suspicious: Wang Shihua murdered his father in order to sit on the throne of the head of the family as soon as possible.
Wang Shirong was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "What is my brother~!" ”
Immediately, let Zhang Ping quickly send down the military rank owed to everyone, and specially instructed Zhang Ping to tell the brothers about this secretly, so that the brothers could remember the good of the Wang family.
If this incident only made the other three families angry that they were being played, then the next thing made them angry.
August 18th!
Wang Shihua was exercising in the morning, and the second dog suddenly came to report: "The head of the family, the third master's Mrs. Ruyi is back." ”
Wang Shihua was overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"It's a message from Wang Jiaping. Mrs. Ruyi has gone to the grave of the old master, and will come to see you in the old city in the afternoon. ”
Since Wang Ji'an passed away, Wang Tian's family has preferred children and liveliness, just because Wang Jiaping needs someone to sit in charge, so in order to take care of her, Wang Shihua's wives take turns to live in Wangjiaping to accompany her old man. And although He Mei didn't go to Wangjiaping, she built a nunnery in the backyard of the old Sicheng Palace, which is considered to be a home, not as keen on mundane things as before, and rarely instructs Wang Shihua, except for a few people such as Wang Shihua and A Xia, who easily do not show up and become a master of the world.
Zhou Shuiyu came to Lao Sicheng at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and chatted happily with several women when they met, and distributed gifts. Even when he saw Wang Shihua, he gave a gift with a smile, and specially explained that this gift was personally selected by Wang Shifu.
Wang Shihua knew that Wang Shifu was still angry with himself, and it was impossible to choose it personally, but when he heard her say this, he was still a little moved. But as soon as he heard that Wang Shifu did not come back, Wang Shihua understood that this move had to pay a price.
Sure enough, after eating the dust washing banquet, Zhou Shuiyu specially found Wang Shihua and explained his intentions.
With the help of Zhang Wentian, Wang Shifu participated in an officer training course in Chongqing, and after graduation, he was assigned to a division in Chongqing and became a staff officer at the division headquarters. Zhou Shuiyu came back this time to ask for help, because Wang Shifu heard that the commander of the Phoenix Airport garrison battalion was taken down because of greed for ink. Subsequently, due to the importance of Phoenix Airport to protect the airspace of the Chonghu Trade Road, Chongqing decided to expand the garrison battalion of Phoenix Airport into a garrison regiment, and Wang Shifu wanted to obtain this position. The level is about the same, but the relationship is not hard, and the qualifications are not enough, which makes him very anxious. When drinking and chatting with colleagues, I overheard that Wang Shihua had a connection with Dai Li, so I wanted to find this position through Wang Shihua's relationship. Only then did Zhou Shuiyu go on a trip as a pathfinder.
As soon as Wang Shihua heard it, he understood that Wang Shifu's colleague was definitely not 'inadvertently' revealed, otherwise, how could an ordinary division staff officer know about his relationship with Dai Li? There's definitely something famous in it. But one is a brother, although there is a conflict, but now the other party has a request, and he can take the opportunity to resolve the situation that the two sides do not get along; Second, if Wang Shifu really becomes the head of Phoenix Airport, it will be a big help to the Wang family. Three, you can't make people think that Wang Shihua has become the head of the family, and after forcing Wang Shirong away, Wang Shifu's family can't be returned, which is very detrimental to Wang Shihua's reputation. Therefore, Wang Shihua pretended to be confused and promised to help as much as he could.
In fact, Wang Shifu was really sad and indignant at Wang Shihua's ruthlessness, and really planned not to come back in this life, but when he went outside, he saw the world, knew the cruelty of the devil, and he also understood that Wang Shihua killed Li Jieying, his wife, who was actually a Japanese spy. Now is just the right time to kill two birds with one stone, not only to take the opportunity to send everyone to the stage, to resolve the contradiction with Wang Shihua, but also to seek a future.
Subsequently, Wang Shihua asked Zhang Yuxuan to give Dai Li a pair of white jade lions in the early Tang Dynasty when he returned to Chongqing to report on his work - after Gu Yushu's death, Dai Li sent her to take over her position and become the commissioner of the Chonghu Trade Road, but her power was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally by Dai Li and Wang Shihua, how could she compare to Gu Yushu, to put it bluntly, she was a liaison. However, I have to say that she looks a little similar to Gu Yushu, which shows that Boss Dai sent her over and was also suspected of making beauty tricks.
A military commander is a military commander, and not everyone has the courage to offend. As soon as the white jade lion arrived, under the personal command of Boss Dai, within three days, Wang Shifu was appointed as the head of the Phoenix Airport Garrison Regiment, and he also deliberately allocated a sum of military expenses to him like a favor, which shook the entire Chongqing officialdom, and asked who Wang Shifu was, and why he could let Boss Dai intercede for him personally. But Wang Shifu was so happy that he personally took 50,000 oceans to see Boss Dai overnight, but he didn't even see Boss Dai's face, and even the 50,000 oceans sent in were politely refused.
Wang Shifu understood after a little thought: What Boss Dai meant: I help you to see your brother's face, as for you~! Not enough to make friends with me. It can be regarded as a further euphemism to confirm Wang Shihua's favor. Wang Shifu, who was forced, had to hurriedly send a telegram to Wang Shihua to express his gratitude, describe the pain of brotherhood and homesickness, and never mention Li Jieying.
On September 2, Wang Shifu, who returned to his hometown in fine clothes, took a guard company, rode a high-headed horse, and almost became a groom official wearing red and hanging colors......
