Zhuang Jihua did not go back to Yunqiao directly, he stayed in Shanghai for a day, wandering between going home or going abroad, and finally decided to go home first, mainly because there were two factors that determined that he could not go to sea directly, one was that he had no money. Wang Xiaoshan left him some money, and his military salary in the past few months is also on Song Yunfei, but it adds up to a lot, Zhuang Jihua's salary is not low, but his hands are quite loose, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu are not candidates to manage money, although they are not yet at the level of the moonlight family, but there is not much left, this money is the disbandment fee of the three of them, Song Yunfei can still go home, Wu Ziniu can't even go home. The other is the injury, his injury is not completely healed, and it is unthinkable to drift at sea for months with the injury. In desperation, Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to go home.

Zhuang Laishun and his wife were both happy and surprised that he came back, Zhuang Jihua did not send much money back in the past three years, but Chiang Kai-shek gave 500 oceans when he was in Guangzhou, and after Zhuang Jihua had an accident in Wuhan, he specially sent someone to send 500 oceans. No matter how honest Zhuang Laishun is, he understands that he is famous outside.

"Kid, you're back." Adoptive mother Zhuang Li didn't think so much, like all mothers, in the past three years, she has been worried about this picked up adopted son, I don't know how he is doing outside, whether he is fat or thin, whether there is anyone to take care of him when he is sick, etc.

"What's going on?" Zhuang Li soon noticed that he was a little panicked by the injuries on his body.

"Mom, it's okay, it's almost well." Zhuang Jihua comforted her in turn, and then introduced Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu to Zhuang Laishun and his wife: "Dad, Mom, these are my two brothers, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu. ”

"Come in and sit down, two eldest nephews." Zhuang Li hurriedly beckoned the two into the house. Zhuang Laishun has changed from three years ago, Zhuang Laishun received two sums of money and repaired the house, and bought more than 20 acres of land, guarding these fields, Zhuang Laishun is very satisfied.

Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu didn't dare to slack off: "Old lady, please first, the division commander is exalting us..." ”

"There are no division commanders here, and there are no commanders, only brothers, Yunfei Ziniu, we will be brothers in the future." Zhuang Jihua interrupted them, he didn't want to go back to the army anymore, and he didn't want his adoptive parents to worry.

Zhuang Jihua's return in the village is a big deal, he went out for three years, there has been no news, the people in the village have been rumors, saying that the adopted son is unreliable, until the two oceans let these rumors disappear, but another language came out, saying that he made a fortune outside, became a big official, and will not come back. Now he came back suddenly, and not alone, there were two majestic officers following him, the people in the mountains did not know whether the officials were big or small, but they had a natural awe of the officials, so they looked at Zhuang Jihua with more respect, and Zhuang Laishun's status in the village and the clan also increased.

However, Zhuang Laishun and his wife soon found that although Zhuang Jihua came back, his heart was sad, and his mood was never high, but no matter how they asked, Zhuang Jihua did not spit out a word, and Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu refused to mention it.

However, Zhuang Jihua felt that they couldn't stay here anymore, so he called them together: "Yunfei, Ziniu, I don't plan to go back, what will you do in the future?" ”

Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu also saw that Zhuang Jihua's determination to return to seclusion had been made, and they were also thinking about this question all the way, but they didn't find the answer: "Master, our brothers have also discussed, there are no good ideas, we want to ask you to have an idea." ”

Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment and said: "The Northern Expedition has failed, the revolution has ended, and the situation in the future is a chaotic war in the world, the principal holds the power of the central government, but his qualifications and prestige are insufficient, and those who are armed and have different opinions in the party will challenge him one after another, so the country is a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." So the war will take a long time, if you want to join the army, I can write you a letter of recommendation, you go to apply for the Central Military Academy, Zhang Zhizhong is there, he still has to give this face. ”

Song Yunfei immediately shook his head and said: "I have followed many commanders over the years, only you let me know why I am fighting and how to save the country, if you leave, I will not be in the army again." ”

Wu Ziniu also said: "Me is the same, I have taken revenge, it's worth it!" But according to your judgment, I can't go home, and the army doesn't want to stay, and I can't meet a better commander than you. ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, he didn't want them to return to the army: "Since this is the case, then I have an idea, you go to Shanghai first, wait for me in Shanghai, I will clean up the matter here, and the principal will probably have to explain it, and when the injury is healed, I will go to Shanghai to find you, and then we will do business and run industry together." I can tell you, I am better at business than war, and in three years, I will make you millionaires. ”

The words were easy, but Zhuang Jihua was extremely bitter in his heart. Song Yunfei saw that he was uncomfortable, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, that's it, I'll wait for you in Shanghai with this brute cow." ”

"Millionaire? Still three years? Wu Ziniu also deliberately joked: "Cultural Revolution, this cow is a bit big, I'll just sit and wait for the million." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly and said: "It's really a cow, I only know how to pull a car, and I have no interest, and one million is happy to be like this." ”

As he spoke, he took out the money he had prepared: "There are four hundred oceans here, you bring them, I won't keep you, and I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"That's going to drive us away." Song Yunfei felt very uncomfortable, he knew that Zhuang Jihua was for their good, and he also knew that Zhuang Jihua took the money from home, but he still couldn't help complaining, "Yunfei, Ziniu, it's not that I don't want to keep you." Zhuang Jihua explained solemnly: "You are gone, I have nothing to worry about, whether the principal will let me go, I don't know, it's good to disperse, those heads and tails must also have an explanation, I am waiting for them at home, if it's okay, I will soon go to Shanghai to find you." ”

As soon as Zhuang Jihua said this, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu didn't want to leave, and Wu Ziniu stood up suddenly: "That's not good, you have to go together, you have to be locked up again, what can you do?" ”

Song Yunfei also said: "Commander, let's stay, if there is anything, everyone can deal with it together." ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "How many can you fight?" Twenty or hundred, don't always think about using force to solve the problem, don't worry, although the principal will not let me go easily, he will not arrest me, let alone kill me. ”

Song Yunfei was about to speak, but Zhuang Jihua stopped him and said, "Why don't you believe me, don't worry, it won't last long." ”

Wu Ziniu asked suspiciously: "Teacher, what do you say the principal will do to you?" ”

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "I don't know what it is, but if there is only one person, it is easy to say anything, and the worst case is that I have to go back to work for him, don't worry, I can find a chance to leave." ”

"If you want to go back, we'll go back together." Wu Ziniu hurriedly said that he actually liked to stay in the army, so he left like this, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but there had to be a premise, Zhuang Jihua should be his commander.

"What do you say, I can leave in various ways alone, and with more of you, I have one more layer of concern." Zhuang Jihua said: "Although you are good, you can't stop thousands of troops, the principal can't do it to me, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he can't do it to you, you still have to go first, wait for me in Shanghai." ”

Zhuang Jihua resolutely refused to let them stay, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu couldn't resist him, so they had to say goodbye to him, but only two hundred were taken away from the four hundred oceans, and the others refused to ask for anything.

Under the afterglow of the morning sun, Zhuang Jihua saw the two leave, looking at the back in the distance, Zhuang Jihua felt lonely, boundless loneliness, under the sun, the lush buckwheat ridge is towering and straight, among the mountains and fields, farmers are busy in the fields, curling smoke rises, everything is so calm, as if it is a paradise.

In the past three years, there has been no intrigue, and he has suddenly relaxed, Zhuang Jihua is not very suitable for a while, he spreads outside the village every day, and changes the medicine in the town, saying that the child is very calm, and the Zhuang clan people are gradually accustomed to Zhuang Jihua's lonely figure, and it is rumored inside and outside the village that Zhuang Jihua became a big official outside, but for some reason he came back.

Zhuang Jihua didn't wait long, and on the fifth day after Song Yunfei and them left, Yu Jishi rushed to Yunqiao Zhuangjia Village with Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter.

Yu Jishi came with four guards on a tall horse, accompanied by the mayor of Yunqiao Town, the crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the peace of Zhuangjia Village, and the presence of the mayor made Zhuangjia Village shine brightly.

When Yu Jishi arrived, Zhuang Jihua was strolling outside the village, and he was waiting at home accompanied by Patriarch Zhuang.

Zhuang Laishun was very frightened, and the gun in the guard's hand made him panic: "Sir, is my Jihua causing trouble outside?" ”

Zhuang Li didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly asked someone to go to the town to buy meat, and hurriedly poured water, and was even more anxious when he heard Zhuang Laishun's words: "Sir, my family has just come home after Jihua, he is an honest child, he won't cause trouble, are you mistaken." ”

Yu Jishi, who was drinking water, almost plugged up, honestly? Zhuang Jihua is still honest? Inside and outside the Whampoa Military Academy, I am afraid that no one in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will dare to look at it in this way. He hurriedly stood up: "Uncle, aunt, don't, I'm a classmate of the Cultural Revolution, I have something to discuss with him, don't misunderstand." He turned to a few of the guards and said, "Be quiet, don't scare the two old men." ”

The aggrieved in the guard's heart, they stood there without moving, and the two old men thought to themselves what it had to do with them. was complaining in his heart, Zhuang Jihua came back from outside.

"Salute!" The four guards raised their hands to Zhuang Jihua in unison to salute, Zhuang Jihua subconsciously raised his hand to return the salute, and only woke up after the salute, and couldn't help but say sullenly: "I didn't wear a military uniform, what kind of salute." ”

"Whether the commander wears a military uniform or not, he is a model for my generation."

Zhuang Jihua shook his head, Yu Jishi came out of the house, and shouted with a smile: "Cultural Revolution, Cultural Revolution, you are really hiding well, this Zhuangjia Village is really hard to find." ”

"It's hard to find, you haven't found it the same," Zhuang Jihua said unpolitely: "I hope to find a paradise so that you can't find it." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what do you say?" Yu Jishi complained: "I sent a letter to the principal, Sun Chuanfang and the Zhilu coalition counterattacked, Hefei was besieged, Pukou was lost, and the principal couldn't get away from the Anhui front, so he had to send me." ”

"What else is there to say," Zhuang Jihua walked in front, Yu Jishi followed behind, the two said as they walked, and the mayor of the house and the patriarch of Zhuang also greeted the door.

Zhuang Jihua hurriedly helped Patriarch Zhuang: "Old patriarch, you are so old, why are you here." ”

The old patriarch lived on crutches and said tremblingly: "Jihua, this is Mayor Yuan, you won't go to visit when you come back, and you want people to come to visit you, this is rude." ”

Zhuang Jihua did just nod to Mayor Yuan casually: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the mayor, Zhuang is rude, and he will come to visit instead." ”

After all, Mayor Yuan is the mayor of the town, and he has a much higher level: "Don't dare, don't dare, General Zhuang is powerful in Huaxia, his name is like thunder, and he has been admired for a long time, but I didn't expect the general to be from his hometown, it's really embarrassing, embarrassing!" ”

"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and there is no glory." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, helped the old patriarch to the first seat, and then asked his adoptive father Zhuang Laishun to sit in the second seat, Zhuang Laishun sat there uneasy, but Zhuang Jihua didn't care and sat under him.

Yu Jishi took out Chiang Kai-shek's letter and handed it to him: "Cultural Revolution, you first look at the principal's letter." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's letter was written very politely, in which he first recalled the years when they fought together, and then accused the Communist Party of causing trouble in the world, and the peasant and labor movements in the Lianghu area had made a mess of the countryside and Wuhan, and had to deal with it decisively, and so on, and then said that although the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had broken down, the revolution still had to continue, and it was still possible to defeat the warlords and drive out the imperialists, and hoped that Zhuang Jihua would return to the army to continue the Northern Expedition.

After Zhuang Jihua finished reading it, he said to Yu Jishi with a wooden face: "Please tell the principal, I am tired, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and the injury has not healed, and I want to recuperate at home for a while." ”

Yu Jishi was anxious when he heard it: "Cultural Revolution, you let me say what is good about you, I know that you advocate the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but the Communist Party is too noisy, look at the two lakes and Wuhan, what has become of them, they have seized the party power, seized the political power, and put their hands in the army, just say you, you support them like that, but how did they treat you?" Why do you still speak for them and destroy your future for them? ”

"Liangzhen, the principal made a mistake in this matter," Zhuang Jihua was not polite: "He shouldn't use guns, he shouldn't use force, I once told him that the Communist Party can only solve it by political means,...., forget it, what's the use of saying this now?" Let him pass the past. ”

Yu Jishi knew that this was difficult when he accepted the task, so he didn't give up easily: "Cultural Revolution, you don't know, you are in prison in Wuhan, the principal is so anxious that he can't even eat, and he almost asked me to take someone to Wuhan to rob the prison, I heard that you are out of danger, that happy, you haven't seen it, you are happier than conquering Bengbu, the position of deputy commander of the first army has been reserved for you, I heard that the principal intends to let He Yingqin serve as the minister of military orders, and the first army will be yours in the future." ”

Zhuang Jihua was silent and said: "Liangzhen, tell the principal, I appreciate his old man's kindness, but I can't accept it, I can't shoot this shot." ”

Yu Jishiqi said: "What are these words?" ”

"Liangzhen, don't you understand this?" Zhuang Jihua said: "The previous battle was against the warlords, but who will be the future war?" Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Tang Shengzhi, Feng Yuxiang; And then it is..."Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while: "Wushan, Chen Geng, Director Zhou, Xiangqian, are former classmates, comrades-in-arms of the Northern Expedition, brothers in life and death who charge together with a spoon in a pot, this gun....I can't hold it." ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone became more and more heavy, Yu Jishi was stunned, and after a long time he said: "If you really want to do that, then there is no way, each for its own master." ”

"Wushan dragged me to the Communist Party, but I won't go, because I can't shoot at you, the principal, Junshan, and Shoushan either." Zhuang Jihua said: "You can't beat me, but I can't do it." ”

"Cultural Revolution, I said why are you doing this?" Yu Jishi still couldn't understand.

"People, that's it, each has its own choice, so the world is chaotic." Zhuang Jihua is very calm, and the ancient well is not wavering.

"Cultural Revolution, I have always listened to you, but this time, I have to blame you for both public and private, can we Huangpu have an easy place today? There were hundreds of people back then, and now there are hundreds of thousands, and you were just a small company commander back then, and now what? With tens of thousands of people under your command, the lieutenant general is just a hand, and in a few years, the princes of one side will not be a problem, and then you can implement your ideas in the area under your control, why do you have to go? Yu Jishi almost burst into tears.

The people sitting in the hall understood now, they heard the previous words in a fog, Mayor Yuan still understood a little bit, the old patriarch and Zhuang Laishun didn't understand at all, the last paragraph, tens of thousands of people, one side of the princes, this is too shocking, the old patriarch trembled with excitement, he gnawed and coughed violently, and said hoarsely: "Jihua Xian's nephew, learn literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family; This has been the case since ancient times. Cultural Revolution, since your principal...., by the way, sir, does the principal have so much power? ”

After scratching his head for a long time and not understanding anything, Yu Jishi couldn't help laughing, and quickly explained: "We are his old man's students, so we call him the principal, and others call him the commander-in-chief or the chairman." ”

"This commander-in-chief, how big an official is the chairman, and whether there is an overseer?"

Yu Jishi's heart became happier and happier: "This commander-in-chief is in charge of the army of the whole country, equivalent to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and this chairman is the chairman of the Kuomintang. ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly, the emperor is not good.

Patriarch Zhuang was frightened, he stood up and was about to salute Yu Jishi: "It turns out that the chief is Lord Qincha, the old man is frightened, please take a seat." ”

"Don't, don't, old man, I'm not a chap." Yu Jishi was a little at a loss, and looked at Zhuang Jihua for help.

Zhuang Jihua was amused in his heart, but his face was tense, but he still stood up and supported the old patriarch: "Old patriarch, he is not a Qincha, and there is no emperor now." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old patriarch shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to commit it!" Great rebellion! ”

I'm sorry, Zhuang Jihua is a little stupid, what's this, Yu Jishi is also stunned, I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek didn't talk to Zhuang Jihua like this.

"Patriarch Zhuang, Patriarch Zhuang, this chief is just an analogy, it's not really the case, now there is no emperor, and he is not happy to kneel." Mayor Yuan hurriedly came up to play the round, and the mayor's face was more familiar, so Patriarch Zhuang sat down suspiciously.

Patriarch Zhuang made such a fuss, Yu Jishi and Zhuang Jihua had no intention of talking further, everyone talked nonsense for a while, Zhuang Jihua stood up and said: "Liangzhen, when you come to me, you are a guest, listen to my arrangement, there are no good things at home, I will accompany you to the Ceres Temple tomorrow to see, that is also a scene here." ”
