"The teacher should say a few words to the students." Zhuang Jihua didn't press in again, there is no need to rush things, since he came, he would not leave within a day or two.

Looking at the neat team seriously, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to do this, he thought about it and decided to say a few words.

"Nine years ago, we built an army in Huangpu, and today the flower of Huangpu has bloomed all over the country, but due to political reasons, Huangpu has been divided, there are political divisions, there are differences in style, some are still insisting on revolution, and some are degenerating; But I'm very happy that you have established a new Whampoa here, although it is still just a new contact, but I still have a strong feeling, I feel that the vitality of Whampoa, that kind of unyielding fighting spirit, has been passed on to you. Since the Northern Expedition, the chaos in the country has not been resolved, and the people have been suffering from war for many years, and now with the addition of external troubles, it can be estimated that we will have to struggle for a long time to free China from war and humiliation. Students, keep such a spirit and such a fighting spirit, and the hope of the country is in you. ”

Zhuang Jihua sighed with emotion in his heart, if it is serious, it is the highest evaluation of his efforts for more than a year, a new Whampoa, what evaluation can compare to this. There was no doubt that it succeeded in arousing the pride of all the students present.

Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong, Teng Jie, and Hong Junqi accompanied him to visit the base, and he was even more emotional when he saw Zhuang Jihua actually living in a sunflower shack.

"Cultural Revolution, when you first arrived in Huangpu, you had a lot of bad habits, greedy for enjoyment is one of them, Director Deng and I both discovered this, but I didn't expect to be in a high position but changed."

"Teacher, it's not that bad, I've always been more difficult and simple." Zhuang Jihua shouted.

"The teacher is right," Li Zhilong also said, "You forgot, you have to go out of school every week to improve the food, and after we found out, in order to gag us, you had to treat us to a meal." ”

"Why don't I remember," Zhuang Jihua said innocently: "I can't afford to pay you that allowance back then." ”

"When did you rely on the allowance to eat," Li Zhilong was very disdainful of his forgetting surname: "Didn't you still have some money on you when you arrived in Huangpu, so you used the treat, and Wushan persuaded you that time, what did you say?" Yes, you're talking about money, if you don't bring it in life and don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you, you will die with one shot when you are a soldier, and it's useless to keep money. Your point of view is supported by Chen Geng and He Jinhan, in fact, they want to eat you a few more times. ”

"No, am I that stupid?" Zhuang Jihua expressed doubts and resolutely refused to believe Li Zhilong's "nonsense".

"On this, when did you become smart?" Li Zhilong asked rhetorically, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, in their opinion, Zhuang Jihua is indeed not very smart in this regard, he is very loose in his personal use of money, and Liu Yinshu is not a good housekeeper, and the two of them have always been generous with money. If anyone in the development team has difficulties, if they borrow money, they will definitely not return empty-handed. But their income is very high, Zhuang Jihua's general-level officers have an income of more than 200 oceans, and Liu Yinshu also has an income of 80 oceans for teaching, so even if their hands are loose, they will be able to leave a lot of money by the end of the month.

"And this thing," Hong Junqi shouted: "Cultural Revolution, you are a little bit of a friend, when we drank that clear soup porridge, our faces were green, why didn't you call me to improve our lives." ”

Zhuang Jihua glanced at him and said resentfully: "I also called you, Li Zaitian, Song Xilian, and Chen Geng have already made me poor, especially this Li Zhilong, who was Borodin's translator, how can he have a little spare money, I have never seen him take it out, I thought it was used on Pan mm, but when I thought about it, he didn't know Pan mm at that time." Alas, in Tian, did you still hide one before Pan mm. ”

"No, no, absolutely not." Li Zhilong hurriedly glanced out of the door, everyone was happy, the husband and wife in distress, Pan Huiqin had just cleaned up Li Zhilong with Rouke. Everyone present knew that Li Zhilong was a little afraid of Pan Huiqin in his heart.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, and he had already seen with his old and spicy eyes that although they hadn't realized it yet, this group with Zhuang Jihua as the core was gradually forming, and the upper echelons of this group were these people in front of them, plus Du Yuming, who was still in Wuhan, and Tang Zong, who didn't show up. According to the information he had, Zhuang Jihua's absolute authority has not yet been formed, and there are still differences in the political ideas of the members of the group, especially Teng Jie and Tang Zong, the two small characters of Huangpu, and it is not clear what will happen to the future development, but this group has no vitality in the Nanjing officialdom.

returned to Zhuang Jihua's office and said politely: "What should you do, don't delay your work for me." Zhuang Jihua nodded, so Teng Jie and Hong Junqi said goodbye one after another, and Li Zhilong also said goodbye and left after chatting for a while, leaving Zhuang Jihua and serious in the office.

"Teacher, if you come this time, you will stay longer, anyway, you have nothing to do, even if you go home, the students will let you accompany you everywhere." Zhuang Jihua began to try to keep the serious, he intuitively judged that the serious definitely had a purpose, but what was the purpose? He didn't know yet that it was seriously not a Communist Party, and he was sure of that, but as long as it wasn't a dispute between the two parties, he had nothing to worry about.

"Okay." Seriously and readily agreed, since he arrived in Yucheng, he also looked at the results of the southwest development work, which will have an effect on Zhuang Jihua's work in the future.

Zhuang Jihua asked Wu Ziniu to set a room for serious in the guest house, although it had been determined that Lu Ruishan would replace Song Yunfei as his adjutant, but his green forest habits were too heavy, Zhuang Jihua asked him to go to the recruit camp for three months of training, although Lu Ruishan was a little reluctant, but finally obeyed. However, Zhuang Jihua also kept an eye on it, and asked Gong Xiuhua to accompany him to visit everywhere and report serious words and deeds to him at any time.

The repercussions set off by the Heroes Report Group in Chongqing continued to expand, and then expanded outward, and Zeng Kuoqing sent people to invite the members of the Hero Report Group to Chengdu to give three consecutive reports at Sichuan University, and the venue was full, coupled with the promotion of the Chengdu news media, Zhuang Jihua's propaganda war was a great success.

Sichuan's practice soon spread to Nanjing, and He Jinhan was keenly aware of its value, and he immediately went north in person and organized another heroic report group in Beiping, which was divided into two routes, one in Beiping and the other south to Beijing and Shanghai. In terms of operation, he took a more direct approach, directly sending people to contact the school, and the school came forward to organize the students to listen to the lectures, although the students were somewhat resistant, but they were still moved by the deeds of the heroes, and set off a patriotic upsurge among the young students.

Of course, He Jinhan will not let this craze dissipate so easily, the Blue Coat Society movement took the opportunity to enter the major campuses, the slogan of "love the motherland, join the Blue Coat Society" was overwhelming, various peripheral organizations were established one after another, and the members of the Blue Coat Society quickly expanded to millions of people.

In this war, Tian Songyao and Liu Cunhou were hit the hardest, especially Liu Cunhou, most of his troops were annihilated, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, ordered to remove him from the post of commander of the 23rd Army, and ordered Liu Xiang to immediately reorganize the attack on the Red Army in northern Sichuan.

Liu Xiang was embarrassed with this order, the failure of the three-way offensive not only lost the army, but more importantly, military spending, Sichuan strictly reduced taxes, the provincial fiscal revenue fell a lot, because of Zhuang Jihua's 16 million at the bottom, Liu Xiang's 21st Army had limited influence, but the other armies were already complaining, so he invited Mei Yuntian to Chengdu and asked for a loan, Mei Yuntian readily agreed to provide a loan of 10 million oceans, which was regarded as helping Liu Xiang temporarily get out of the predicament.

After Chiang Kai-shek's request to send the Central Army into Sichuan was rejected, Liu Xiang rejected the request to establish a camp to suppress bandits in Yucheng and form a staff group, but he knew that he had to organize a new encirclement and suppression, and this encirclement and suppression must be victorious, and if it still failed, it would be difficult to refuse Chiang Kai-shek's request again. To this end, he held an operational conference in Chengdu, which was attended by the generals of central Sichuan, at which Liu Xiang decided to organize 200,000 people to attack the Red Army in northern Sichuan in six ways.

However, when it came to the specific distribution of troops, there were great differences at the meeting, and the armies were divided into three factions, with Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao as one faction, and they emphasized that they had suffered great losses in the early stage of suppressing bandits and could not provide more troops, and Tian Songyao also proposed that military salaries should be paid as soon as possible; Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, and Luo Zezhou are the other faction, they emphasize that their own troops are insufficient, and Yang Sen's troops have also suffered losses in defending against the Red Army's attack, and they have not been paid military pay for three months, and the soldiers are very dissatisfied, so please make up the military pay as soon as possible.

Liu Xiang was so suffocated that he had to telegraph to Chiang Kai-shek asking for 8 million military salaries, and Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he almost overturned the table and scolded Liu Xiangtian in the office for being shameless. But in the end, he sent a telegram to Zhuang Jihua and asked him to discuss with Liu Xiang.

Zhuang Jihua was also not polite, and directly proposed to Liu Xiang to ask the armies to hand over the news media they controlled, and in exchange, the Southwest Development Team allocated 10 million oceans from the funds as their funds to suppress bandits, and Liu Xiang compromised.

Teng Jie set up a propaganda department in Yucheng and its surrounding 16 counties, and reorganized and merged the newspapers and news agencies handed over by the various armies to form a newspaper group. Then began to encircle and suppress the remaining news media, Zhuang Jihua took out all kinds of promotional methods in his previous life, what subscription has a grand prize, subscription to send rice, send vegetable oil, etc., all kinds of means emerge in endlessly, blatantly snatching users, squeezing the living space of private newspapers.
