Fangzheng's movements did not escape Mo Zhengmin's eyes.

Mo Zhengmin put down his cigarette gun, leaned out of bed, stared at Fang Zheng with his eyes, and said hatefully: "Lao Tzu's team has been reorganized by you, why, do you still want to shoot Lao Tzu?" ”

Fang is a veteran Red Army cadre who joined the Red Army since the Pingjiang Uprising, and after crossing the Xiangjiang River, he was the first batch to be adjusted from the Red Third Army to the Red Eighteenth Regiment. Just now, when I saw Mo Zhengmin smoking a big cigarette, I couldn't accept it, so I reached for the pistol in a hurry. Now seeing through Mo Zhengmin's actions just now, he knew that he was reckless, which made Mo Zhengmin suspicious.

Fang Zheng simply sat on the edge of the bed, took off his military hat, scratched his hair, and said embarrassedly: "Old Mo, I'll be honest, as soon as I saw you smoking a lot just now, I immediately remembered the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, and I couldn't help but touch the gun. Naturally, I am wrong in this matter, but you are also responsible, our army is not allowed to smoke a lot, and you are now the deputy chief of staff of our Fifth Brigade, and you are my superior, so you should take the lead in abiding by the discipline of our army and set an example for comrades. Behold, thou hast quit this mouth. If you don't quit, if you see the teacher in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the test! ”

If Fang Zheng covered it up with clever words, Mo Zhengmin would be even more disgusted, maybe from now on he felt that the Eighth Route Army was the same as other armies and that army, they were all masters who ate meat and did not spit out bones. Fang Zheng told the truth, Mo Zhengmin felt that this person was still a man, and he dared to act, so he said: "My addiction to smoking was contracted in Zhang Zongchang's army, and I was young at the time. ”

Guo Zihua saw that although Mo Zhengmin was angry, he was very truthful, and knew that this conversation was easy to handle, so he asked Fang Zheng to give Mo Zhengmin a detailed introduction to the tutor.

Mo Zhengmin can pull up the team, he can be regarded as a character, and during this time, I have also heard that there is a unit of the Eighth Route Army that is particularly capable of fighting, and the number is the instructor. But that was just heard, and now he already knows that he has become a subordinate of Liu Yimin, the most famous god of war in China, and has seen the power of the main force of the Fifth Brigade when he eliminated the Yue Army, Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun, even if he is angry, he doesn't dare to say it, so he can only smoke a big cigarette sullenly. After hearing Fangzheng's comprehensive introduction to the tutor, Mo Zhengmin's mind slowly changed, and he had a yearning for the tutor's legendary struggle.

After Fang Zheng introduced the situation of the instructor, he said to Mo Zhengmin: "Old Mo, let me tell you the truth, you may still feel that the army has been absorbed by us, which is equivalent to taking your monkey by you, thinking that our army is not doing authentically, and it is annexing friendly troops." But I want to tell you that our army has incorporated your troops for the sake of friendly troops who are also fighting devils, and to help you. With your level of equipment and training, among our instructors, not to mention comparing with our main force, even our troops in charge of logistics and transportation, it is no problem to fight you three at a time. I'll say another arrogant thing, don't say that you have 2,200 people now, even your 5,000 people are all there, if you really pull them out to fight, just one regiment and one battalion of the first brigade of our army's first-class main force can defeat you in half an hour. A unit like yours is a recruit at best, and a recruit with no formal training. You also saw the collapse the day before yesterday. It's inconceivable if this situation were left on our main team. Our army will fight to the last man, and will not abandon its position and disperse. If you look at our soldiers, it's basically the sound of guns, and your fighters can't get to the edge of the devil's clothes when they shoot ten shots. Tell me, what are we going to do with a force like yours? ”

Mo Zhengmin thought about it, but he still twisted his head and muttered: "What you said is so beautiful, isn't it still the reorganization of my troops?" ”

Fang Zheng laughed: "I said Lao Mo, is this the truth!" Let me tell you, the purpose of reorganizing your troops is to train you into a first-class main force so that you can fight devils. Are you willing to be the political commissar of this second regiment of Reading Force? The 13th Regiment is the main force of the whole brigade, and the battle has always been in the front and retreat in the rear, and the battle is more enjoyable! Now, I am the political commissar of the Second Regiment of Lunan Reading Force, but I have to stay here to train the troops, and it is difficult to say when I will be able to go to the battlefield. Don't talk about me, if you look at the head of Qi Fengnian, he is almost dizzy. One of his battalions went to war, but he stayed here to accompany a group of recruits to do recruit training, do you say that people are not angry? ”

Mo Zhengmin said: "It's not interesting to say this, if you don't want to be the head of the regiment and the political commissar, it's easy to do, just go." This unit was originally mine, and it is not impossible to reorganize it into the Eighth Route Army, so it's always okay not to let me be a brigade commander and give a regiment commander, right? As a result, I was asked to be the deputy chief of staff, and you said that this is not to take away my military power, what is it? ”

When Fang Zheng heard this, he said, "Old Mo, I have to talk about you." I just told you about the instructor, you should know what kind of unit our Eighth Route Army is. The principle of our army is that the party commands the gun, and no matter how high-ranking the cadres are, they must obey the organizational arrangements. You are a new comrade who has just joined the army, and it is normal to have this kind of thinking, if you still have this kind of thinking in the future, then I will tell you that it is not possible! Don't talk about the Eighth Route Army, if you look at the Central Army, how big is the commander of the group army, the army commander, the division commander, the brigade commander, who dares to say that the troops are his own? Who would dare to say disobey Chiang Kai-shek's dispatch? Only warlords who think of the army as their own personal armament would have such an idea of you. Whether it is the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang, they all want to fight the warlords. Do you know that our chief of staff, Comrade Zhang Yicheng, is our veteran chief of staff, and he has always been the concrete formulator of every campaign and operation plan since the 18th Red Regiment. You don't know how much you can learn with him! Besides, you turned out to be just Zhang Buyun's spy company commander, looking at your level when you commanded the battle in Xiazhuang Town, it just stinks and can't stink anymore. You don't have the level to be a regiment commander or brigade commander, but now that you join our army and become the brigade deputy chief of staff of the regular army, isn't it more glorious than your guerrilla commander? If you look at the cadres above the battalion commander level of our troops, which one of them didn't fight all the way from Jinggang Mountain? Even those company commanders, platoon commanders, and even some veteran squad leaders and veteran combat team leaders are also the backbone of the Long March. With your qualifications, I can't say in other troops, but in the instructor, you are definitely promoted too high. If others don't say it, compare me with you, are you more literate than me or are you more able to fight than me? But now that you're my leader, at least you're on the same level as me. Think about it, what were you doing when I was fighting for the poor? Isn't it just following Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Buyun to harm the people? Let me make it clear, if it weren't for the active efforts of our underground party, would your small army of 30 people have grown into a force of 5,000 people so quickly? In this sense, we are not reorganizing your troops, we are reorganizing the local armed forces developed by our party. Do you admit this truth? ”

Although Fangzheng's words are ugly, what he said is definitely the truth. Historically, Mo Zhengmin's troops started with only five or six people, and later pulled up a small army of 30 people. At this time, Wang Naizheng and Wang Dongnian reported to the Yuezhao County Party Committee and asked to jointly develop the armed forces with Mo Zhengmin. After receiving the approval, the party organization in Yuezhao County mobilized party members, activists and young students to join Mo's army, so that it could expand in a short period of time. Later, Mo Zhengmin's ministry joined Gao Shuxun's ministry with the approval of the party organization, and after it was driven to the northwest of Shandong, the party was cleared, and the troops were really controlled by Mo Zhengmin. Now that Mo Zhengmin's troops have been reorganized by the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible for him to join Gao Shuxun's department, and it is impossible for him to surrender again. However, the facts of Fangzheng's words are always good.

Mo Zhengmin was scolded by Fang Zheng's head and face, and every word was said in the sore spot, his face was innocent, and he couldn't speak.

Fang Zheng saw Mo Zhengmin speak, and knew that he had just said the point, so he continued to take the medicine: "I heard that in the battle of Maojiayan, before our army arrived, you once ordered to raise the white flag and surrender. I said, Lao Mo, your head is in the water, isn't it? Don't you even understand the sentence that you would rather be a broken jade than a tile? That surrender is Han Annihilation, you have also seen the fate of Han Annihilation, see what our attitude is towards Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun? If you want me to say, our army not only saved lives, but also saved the reputation of the older generations of your family. You have to think about it, whether it is better to get up and follow us to train the troops to fight devils, or to just hide in the house and smoke a lot of cigarettes and make a fuss! ”

Guo Zihua stood there and basically didn't speak, watching how Fang Zheng was doing Mo Zhengmin's ideological work, listening for a long time, seeing that Fang Zheng took the method of going straight to the point and explaining the problem thoroughly, thinking that they were all from military backgrounds, this method may still be very effective.

Sure enough, Mo Zhengmin, who had been taught a mess, finally figured it out, whether it was the Eighth Route Army or Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, I am afraid that they are not allowed to support the army and respect themselves, and Zhang Dashuai's set is probably not good now. Besides, the Eighth Route Army is also benevolent and righteous, although the words are ugly, but they are all said in the clear, enough for the masters! I broke away from Zhang Buyun because I didn't want to be a Han anniversary, the purpose of pulling the team was to fight devils, and it was okay to follow the Eighth Route Army, these people seemed to be making a big deal, maybe they could really defeat the devils! It's just that I can't smoke this big cigarette, I can't play with the money, and I can't imagine that I used to treat the troops as my own. The troops have all been reorganized, what can you do if you leave yourself a bare-bones commander? If you annoy the Eighth Route Army, maybe you will be held accountable for ordering the white flag! Forget it, let's listen to the arrangement of the Eighth Route Army! After all, they saved themselves, if they came a little late, their troops would either surrender and be annihilated by the Han Dynasty or let the devil puppet army be completely wiped out and fall into the hands of Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun, I am afraid that no one will talk to them so seriously for so long.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhengmin put the cigarette gun in his hand on the kang table, and glanced at the cigarette lamp again with a little nostalgia.

Guo Zihua saw Mo Zhengmin's eyes aimed at the cigarette lamp, he knew his thoughts, walked over and picked up Mo Zhengmin's cigarette gun and looked at it, and then glanced at his cigarette lamp, and then said: "When Lin Zexu sold cigarettes in Humen, the people of the country already knew that this big cigarette was a drug that consumed the will and the body, but anyone with a little ambition did not smoke it. Now not only do we in the Eighth Route Army not smoke big cigarettes, but not only none of Chiang Kai-shek's Whampoa officers smoke, nor do any of the Yue Army, nor do the armies of the world powers smoke them. I said Comrade Mo Zhengmin, to join the Eighth Route Army, you must first join the army ideologically, and I think you should start by quitting smoking! ”

Mo Zhengmin sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to organize training, I won't smoke this cigarette anymore, whoever smokes it again will be a bastard!" ”

Fang Zheng immediately took a step forward, held Mo Zhengmin's hand and said, "Old Mo, welcome to join the Eighth Route Army!" ”

Mo Zhengmin grinned: "The living can make you say dead!" I originally pulled the team to fight devils, and I also saw how the Eighth Route Army fought devils. From now on, I will follow the Eighth Route Army to fight devils, and promise to obey orders and listen to commands! ”

Guo Zihua and Fang Zheng both know that there is still a lot of work to be done in order for Mo Zhengmin to truly become the Eighth Route Army, but this is a good start, and I believe that Mo Zhengmin will really understand our army in the future and truly integrate into our army.

The next conversation was pleasant, Guo Zihua and Fang Zheng talked to Mo Zhengmin about Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Buyun. As soon as the topic changed, Mo Zhengmin's chatterbox opened, and he said a lot of Zhang Zongchang's anecdotes, such as the "three unknowns" problem that he didn't know how many aunts he had, how many guns he had, and how much money he had, the cheeky question of calling Guo Songling his father, Sun Chuanfang's charter of Shanghai's Jiyuan, casinos, and wine markets to talk about his problems, and why those scoopers shouted "Go, sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife" when they went to Jiyuan, and so on. Those who say it spit and fly wildly, and those who listen also have taste. In the end, Guo Zihua remembered a poem made by Zhang Zongchang back then, and recited it on the spot: "From a distance, Mount Tai is black and mushy, thin at the top and thick at the bottom." If Mount Tai is turned upside down, the bottom is thin and the top is thick. Fang Zheng's tears of laughter flowed out.

Guo Zihua saw that Fang Zheng was laughing badly, and directly recited a song of Zhang Zongchang's "Visiting Penglai Pavilion": "What a Penglai Pavilion, it's really good." If the gods can reach it, I will also sit down. Set up a drink by the window and sing to the sea. Come and guess a few punches, my brother-in-law is afraid of drinking too much! ”

This time, not to mention Fangzheng, even Mo Zhengmin couldn't stop laughing.

After they finished laughing, Guo Zihua said: "Generally speaking, this Zhang Zongchang is a bastard, he still owes us a blood debt, and the Qingdao tragedy was created by him." It is really sad that such a bastard can run rampant in China for so long! ”

Mo Zhengmin's problem was temporarily solved, and the problem of the surviving officers of the Mo Ministry would be better handled. Guo Zihua planned to send them to the Yimeng Central Base Area to participate in the study class of the first branch of Kang Da University after they had completed their efforts in Juxian County and had initially reformed their thinking.

Just when the Fifth Brigade was engaged in the battle of Xiazhuang, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong led the Tai'an detachment and the troops directly under the instructor to also move between Dawenkou and Beijipo, hiding and waiting.
