Chapter 1104 Peace of mind

The four fields are vast, the stars are dotted, and there is only the sound of the wind blowing the treetops and the turbid current hitting the shore between the sky and the earth. The swaying bonfire www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion illuminates every face red by spirits, the crackling sound of burning wood and the string of sparks bursting out, mixed with green smoke, the tall tombstones carved stand majestically, quietly listening to the old people and a group of soldiers who have fought bloodily on this land.

An Yi, who was soaked and then dried by the bonfire and spirits, had a miraculous high fever, but his mood at the moment was far heavier than in his illness, Uncle Maogen and the elders said simple words, revealing a strong sense of countryside and the deep attachment to the place where the ancestors had bred for generations, so that An Yi dispelled the idea of bringing tens of thousands of villagers from Wuhe to southern Sichuan. What flows is the tenacity and perseverance that have been galloping for thousands of years.

An Yi and the brothers asked the villagers what they needed most at the moment, and the villagers, who had nothing left, only asked for one thing, food.

According to the words of Uncle Maogen and the elders, the land will be exposed in less than half a month, and the seeds of miscellaneous grains this winter and next spring can be planted with more effort, and the bitter thing is only before the harvest in autumn and winter, and you can survive it, you can fish without meat, and you can't die in three months without oil and salt, and only those who have drowned in floods for hundreds of miles in the past hundred years, only those who can't bite their teeth and starve to death, as long as they can move and are willing to move, they can basically live. As for the house, if there is no more to build, as long as you spend this winter, next year will be better, and it will get better slowly.

After discussing with the brothers, An Yi decided to give 100 catties of grain, 5 catties of oil, and 5 catties of salt to each of the fathers and elders within a radius of 100 miles, regardless of age, and distribute 30 oceans per person according to the head.

The old people trembled with excitement, but in the end they politely declined Dayang, saying that there was enough food for so much, and that every catastrophe for thousands of years had never been so lucky, and as long as they starved to death, everything would be fine. At the insistence of An Yi and the brothers, Uncle Maogen, on behalf of the elders, said embarrassedly, if possible, send some "ashes" to each family, each household has two bags, with "ashes", the foundation of each family to build a house will be much stronger, and the house will not be washed away at once when the flood comes, as for the money, there are stones and clay all over the ground, firewood and grass everywhere after the flood, do not worry about no fuel cooked rice and burn bricks and tiles, the villagers can all move to help each other, how much money people have is not enough, Everything is built brick by brick, and it will be cherished.

"Ash" is cement, in the current situation that an ordinary soldier of the Anjia Army can buy three tons of cement per month, the villagers who gave everything and even their lives for An Yi's family's battle, after experiencing a catastrophe once in decades and the destruction of their homes, the only request is to give them two bags per family if possible.

None of the generals of An Jiajun spoke anymore, picked up the wine, silently respected the old people, and drank it bowl by bowl until they were drunk and fell asleep, and no one was embarrassed to say any generous words, because the generals were also children of poor families, all of them were from lower classes, and they all knew the ups and downs contained in every sentence of the old people.

On the morning of the next day, An Yi and his brothers reluctantly waved their hands and sailed away, and a string of large inland river cargo ships loaded with grain and various supplies continued to drive under the tow of steamboats. In the afternoon, a regiment of engineering troops left Yichang with enough equipment and sailed down by boat, and rushed to Gupei Town, Wuhe, at the speed of rushing to the battlefield, where three 1,000-ton cargo ships moored at the old Nanchang wharf began to load reinforced concrete nervously.

Chang Baofang, the deputy superintendent of the Anjia Military Station, stayed in the cemetery at the mouth of the Tong River, and lived with Uncle Maogen in the grass hut with huge logs as pillars and beams, and he put the major general's uniform into his baggage, and asked Uncle Maogen to put on a sleeveless placket Tang suit, and began to undertake the reconstruction of roads, canals, and houses in the four towns of Gupei, and his promise to the brothers was: as long as there is still a family that has not moved into the new house, as long as there is a section of the road between the four towns that is not paved, as long as the blocked river and water conservancy ditch do not flow out of the water. I will always stay at the graveyard of my brothers for a day!

Compared with the 30 million people in the seven provinces, the people in the four towns of Gupei add up to only more than 20,000 people, and the An Jiajun can help the villagers in the four towns of Gupei rebuild their homes and live happily at the fastest speed with their fingers, but what about the 30 million victims in more than 60 counties in seven provinces?

However, now An Yi is no longer the slightest bit confused, he has a lot of insights during the trip to Wuhe, understands a lot of things, and people have become extremely relaxed and calm.

Anhui Province received 500,000 yuan in disaster relief from the central government, which was not comparable to the monthly salary of the 40,000 garrison troops in Anqing. Jiangsu Province was a little better, Chen Guofu, a member of the court, won 900,000 yuan for the victims, and the conscientious Chen Guofu exchanged all the money for grain and farm tools and distributed them to various counties in order to put an end to layers of exploitation and interception.

An Yi returned to Bengbu, immediately held a discussion with the parents and officials of the two provinces, and donated 2 million yuan each of the two provinces to disaster relief funds in the name of the southern Sichuan enterprise group, and then donated 30,000 tons of rice and medicine worth 1 million yuan to each of the two provinces in the name of the Xufu Xingying, the Xiangxi Pacification Office, and the Qianxi Pacification Office.

Chen Guofu, Liu Zhenhua and all the officials under their command were inexplicably grateful and thanked them repeatedly on behalf of the government and the victims. An Yi was very calm, politely bid farewell to the officials of the two provinces, took a plane back to Syria, and politely refused Chen Guofu's bitter persuasion to go back to Nanjing.

On the same day, two Junker JU52 military transport planes belonging to the 17th and 24th armies landed in Kaifeng and Jinan respectively.

Gu Changfeng, commander of the 24 th Army, handed Liu Zhi an Yi handwritten letter at the Kaifeng airport, and Liu Zhi, who was disturbed by nearly 10 million displaced victims, was extremely grateful after reading the letter, sent Gu Changfeng away, and immediately ordered the Zhengzhou railway section, all military stations, and the garrison logistics units to make all preparations, and within seven days all the 50,000 tons of grain transported from the Hukou military station to the Hankou wharf to the disaster-stricken areas in Henan.

Han Fuqu in Jinan was helpless in the face of tens of millions of victims who were constantly going south, and scolded the central government for being incompetent every time he arrived at a disaster point, and suddenly received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the An Jiajun Army, and immediately rushed to the airport, and not long after Hu Jialin and other generals of the 17th Army came to the airport by plane.

Han Fuqu read the letter suspiciously, and was immediately overjoyed, grabbed Hu Jialin and left, and said loudly, "Brother Hu, if you don't drink eight big bowls with my brother today, don't want to leave", Hu Jialin politely said that he had to rush back to Baoding as soon as possible, Han Fuqu immediately yelled a few words, his guards did not hesitate to carry out the order, and more than 30 big men surrounded Hu Jialin's special plane in a blink of an eye, and one of the captains saw that the pilot was going to start the steering, so he simply lay under the front wheel of the plane, and the pilot was so frightened that he immediately braked and turned off.

Hebei is under the jurisdiction of He Yingqin, and An Yi only needs to hand over the disaster relief materials to Hu Jialin's 17th Army, and then provide disaster relief in the name of the 17th Army. Jiangxi does not need An Yi *** heart, with a fine tradition and a kind heart of the province's rich gentry and people in the appeal of Chairman Xiong Shihui, enthusiastic donations, abundant disaster relief donations make the province's disaster area order stable, the lives of the victims have sufficient security, only Zhou Chongan on behalf of Jiangnan Group donated 500,000 yuan.

Zhejiang was slightly affected, and Huang Shaohong, the provincial chairman, basically did not have to worry about it.

The most urgent person now is Hubei Provincial Chairman Zhang Qun, who has been homeless for millions of people in eastern and southeastern Hubei provinces, and the central government has only allocated 300,000 yuan for the need for disaster relief with a budget of up to 6 million. An Yi ignored this and did not care about it, because Zhang Qun wrote to the central government twice in three months, demanding the resumption of An Jiajun's Yichang garrison base and the right to transport anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling by water.

An Yi is not in a hurry about this, and he is not gambling with the lives of the victims, but the Hubei Provincial Government has this money, and An Yi's Yichang Anti-Drug and Anti-Smuggling Bureau pays the Hubei Provincial Government a tax of up to three million every year, but he still doesn't know where this money is used, so An Yi wants to see if Zhang Qun dares to dig out the corruption accounts of his predecessor, and also wants to see who dares to take away his An Jiajun's territory. Now let alone Wang Jingwei, even Chiang Kai-shek can't, unless he gathers heavy troops to fight a battle to drive the An Jiajun away. As for the disaster victims, they will go down the river without food and flee to Jiujiang and the wealthy old Nanchang, Xiong Shihui and Zhang Qun are both leaders of the political science faction, and this little help will still help.

In late August, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee was about to be held, and An Yi, who had almost cut off contact with the central government, flew to Simao, southern Yunnan in the name of "cultivation" at this time. As soon as he left, Chairman Chiang's special representatives Zhang Zhizhong and Chen Lifu flew to Syria, and learned that An Yi had taken a special plane to southern Yunnan yesterday to recuperate in southern Yunnan, where the climate was pleasant and the air was fresh, and after refusing all visitors, he had no choice but to fly back to Nanjing to report to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek was not angry, and the restructuring of the Military Commission was imminent, and nearly half of the organs, including the General Staff Headquarters, needed to be consolidated and readjusted.

Under Wang Jingwei's strong demands and constant warnings, An Yi, the chief of staff of the whole army who "seriously undermined Sino-Japanese friendly diplomatic relations, provoked Sino-Japanese military conflicts in North China, and had a bad impact on the healthy development of Sino-Japanese relations," was doomed to be unable to keep his position. Including the central government departments to abolish the chairman of the council of the government to revoke the motion of the government camp was also formally proposed, and won the full support of Sun Ke and other third-party people, these news has undoubtedly reached An Yi's ears, An Yi is inevitably resistant to this, Chiang Kai-shek did not know for a while how to arrange himself as a proud protégé who is loved and hated.

However, without An Yi's participation, many affairs of the central government will definitely not work, not to mention the suppression of the Communist Party, not to mention the imminent financial and monetary reform, just the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, which has already been approved and will start construction early next year, must have An Yi's support to work.

Now An Yi paid out of his own pocket to build the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan railway has been in trial operation, Xufu to Ziliujing (Zigong) railway in addition to the two steel bridges are still in the final construction, basically the whole line through, but An Yi is unwilling to extend the railway to the north more than 30 kilometers to connect the Neijiang, so that from the central to the local discussion, anxious, aside from the impact of the first to say, after the start of the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway, how many materials and materials to be transported from southern Sichuan!

After weighing it repeatedly, Chiang Kai-shek was not in a hurry, he also wanted to see how Wang Jingwei dealt with it?

Once Wang Jingwei does not handle it well, it is very likely that An Yi will make him ugly and unable to step down, no matter how he says it, it will be beneficial to Chiang Kai-shek and will not do any harm.
