On the morning of the next day, at the end of the two-hour military-political joint meeting, Feng Yuxiang and his generals led Commander-in-Chief Jiang and his entourage to visit the vigorous urban construction of Zhengzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Feng Yuxiang is a very interesting person, he was born in Chao County, Anhui Province, but he speaks a strong Baoding dialect, although he is a staunch revolutionary, but he believes in Christianity, as the commander of more than 300,000 Northwest Army, but lives a simple life of coarse tea and light food, it is said that Feng Yuxiang every time he patrols the camp, he mingles with ordinary soldiers, and even personally washes the feet of soldiers, but in Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, tens of millions of yuan of military banknotes without any guarantee, and the common people do not accept it is a crime.

Six years ago in October, the Beijing government appointed Feng Yuxiang as the overseer of Henan, and soon after he was transferred to the post of inspection envoy and left Henan, in June last year, Wang Jingwei's Wuhan Nationalist Government appointed him chairman of the Henan Provincial Government, and this year Chiang Kai-shek returned, and the Nanjing Government reappointed him to govern Henan, so it can be said that Feng Yuxiang and Henan have formed an indissoluble bond. After Feng Yuxiang occupied Henan and consolidated his rule, he upgraded Zhengzhou to Zhengzhou City, making it another city-level region after Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Chanzhou, Wuhan and Nanchang.

Over the years, Feng Yuxiang has completely regarded Henan as his hometown, from a series of measures enough to see his love for Henan: at the beginning of this year, Feng Yuxiang took out a huge amount of money to build the Bisha Gang Garden Mausoleum, built a civilian park, a civilian hospital, a martyr's shrine, the whole cemetery of various buildings are scattered, majestic and magnificent, the north gate is in the middle of his own inscription "Bisha Gang" door, take the meaning of "Bihai Dan blood dyed yellow sand", although it has not been completed so far, but from the construction scale and progress, It can be called one of the few large-scale garden-style cemetery buildings in Zhengzhou; Civilian hospitals only charge for medicines, do not charge medical fees, do not register, and do not charge money for dressing up minor injuries and changing dressings, which are welcomed by local people.

Since he took power in Henan again last year, Feng Yuxiang has unswervingly promoted Mr. Zhongshan's Three People's Principles, implemented equality between men and women, and advocated civilian politics

He changed the names of some old streets and some villages in the suburbs of Zhengzhou to revolutionary names, such as Datong Road was renamed Datong Road, Minde Street was renamed Zhongshan East Street, Liren Street was renamed Zhongshan West Street, Xianning Street was renamed Zhongshan South Street, Qingping Street was renamed Zhongshan North Street, Yaqian Street was renamed Zhongshan Front Street, Huoshen Temple Gate was changed to Boai Street, Luyi Temple Gate was changed to Pingping Street, and in order to reform the old and bring forth the new, he ordered people to remove the Fire Temple, and changed the back street of the Fire Temple to Dingxin Street. And the county hall was renamed Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.

At the beginning of the year, after Feng Yuxiang stationed in Wulongkou Village in the northwest suburbs of Zhengzhou, he heard that the name of Wulongkou Village was due to the feng shui pattern of "Five Dragons and Two Tigers Trapped in Yanzhang" during the Five Dynasties period, and the descendants built the Five Dragons Temple here, worshiping the statues of Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Wei, Shi Chonggui and Chai Rong during the Five Dynasties period, so the village was named Wulongkou, Feng Yuxiang thought that the name of the village was superstitious, and changed the name of the village to Wuquan Village in order to publicize Mr. Sun Yat-sen's "Five Rights Constitution", and also changed Jinshui Damengzhai to Sanmin Village, Miaoli Village to Zhongshan Village, etc., Such a wealth of governing measures and a unique military and political system are breathtaking.

Feng Yuxiang enthusiastically introduced that the park is composed of three parts, the east is the Huaben District, in addition to the original trees, and a large number of exotic flowers and plants have been moved from the former residence of Yuan Shikai in Anyang; The south of the park is the sports field, set up single parallel bars, swings and other fitness equipment, the north is the northwest of the civilian school entrance park that does not charge money, a beautiful single courtyard has been capped, this is the civilian library, the whole park is not only a place for people to play, but also a comprehensive public activity place integrating schools, playgrounds, libraries, etc., Feng Yuxiang finally pointed to the Kaiyuan Temple where the incense is strong and said, and when it is built here, the temple will be demolished, and a standard football field and several basketball courts will be built to enhance the national physique and cultivate the martial spirit.

Commander-in-Chief Chiang nodded frequently, thinking of the streets and roads that were being built intensively in many parts of the city, and praised them repeatedly, saying that this was a rare and generous gesture, which created a precedent for urban municipal construction in China in one fell swoop.

The generals and officials echoed each other and praised Feng Yuxiang's pro-people policy, but Feng Yuxiang smiled and said that this was what it should be.

An Yi was very skeptical in his heart whether Commander-in-Chief Jiang's words were sincere? Since his comeback, the Nationalist Government has paid the Northwest Army a monthly military expenditure ranging from one million to more than three million, and Feng Yuxiang still complains from time to time that he cannot make ends meet and asks for additional expenses.

Lunch was spent in the camp of the Northwest Army at the foot of Bauhinia Mountain, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang and Feng Yuxiang and other five or six people were at a table, facing a simple meal of four dishes and one soup

An Yi and Yu Jishi and other senior brothers were at the same table, and halfway through the meal, Lieutenant General Sun Liangcheng, commander of the First Front Army of the Northwest Army and commander of the Third Army, and one of the five tiger generals of the Northwest Army, walked over with a big smile in his hand, and turned to An Yi after greeting everyone:

"General An, I heard that there is a football team in the Independent Division, and at the end of March, it even played a game with college students in Nanjing, right?"

An Yi knew that there was a football team in the Northwest Army, and the best footwork was Sun Liangcheng, the fierce general of the Northwest Army in front of him, and Sun Liangcheng was also a very accomplished boxer, and last year I heard that there was a football team in the Northwest Army An Yi was very surprised, because the whole of China is also sold in Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

The general smiled, the younger brother's independent brother usually only plays football, and football is not like basketball, which requires a hard court to shoot, and there are more people who can participate in playing football, so it is better for the brothers to vent their excess energy than to let them have nothing to do all day long, and dig out their minds to climb over the wall and go out to visit the kiln

Everyone burst into laughter, as strict as Yu Jishi, he almost sprayed rice, and Sun Liangcheng laughed from ear to ear, praising An Yi for being honest and honest, and his temper to himself:

“…… Ha ha! It's rare to see Brother An, why don't we finalize it now, and when the Northern Expedition is completed, Brother Fool will lead the team to Nanjing, how about a game with Brother An's team? ”

"Little brother can't ask for it! If Brother Sun leads the team to Nanjing to compete, it will cause a sensation in the city, and if Brother Sun is interested, the younger brother can even find a big factory to sponsor and invite several universities in Nanjing and Shanghai to send teams to participate, make a grand trophy and then take out some money to reward the winners, and make it a sports event, even if it can't promote national fitness, it can also achieve a good story, so that the two armies can understand each other and get along with each other. An Yi said with a smile.

Sun Liangcheng was overjoyed: "Good! Readily! It's a word."

"It's a deal!"

An Yi grabbed Sun Liangcheng's outstretched hand: "At that time, no matter whether you win or lose, the junior brother will give Brother Sun a hundred footballs, a thousand sets of jerseys, pants and sneakers." ”

Everyone cheered repeatedly, Sun Liangcheng clasped An Yi's hand and laughed loudly: "I heard that Brother An is rich and generous, and I am fortunate to see it today, and it really deserves its reputation." Brother Fool Thank you for the time being, wait for the end of the war, and will definitely lead his brothers to Nanjing as a guest, and Brother An will not regret it at that time! ”

"Don't worry, Brother Sun, the younger brother does what he says, and the rich side doesn't dare to say it, this little gift can still be taken out. It doesn't hurt to tell the truth, the little brother and the provincial and Hong Kong tycoon Mr. Ou in the old Nanchang joint venture several factories, last month began to produce jerseys and sneakers, the new balls will also be in the last 6 renewed listing, no longer have to spend twice the price to buy foreigners' things, these products will be branded, Jiangnan, the trademark of the two words, as well as military raincoats, is also produced by the factory that produces balls, as well as backpack straps sapper shovels, if Brother Sun wants to purchase, Brother Sun will give Brother Sun a discount! An Yi wasted no time in selling advertisements.

"It's rare! Brother An is a first-class fighter, and he is so generous in business, the foolish brother is really envious! Haha "Sit down!" Brother An, your temper towards me, let's have a good chat, and in a day or two, we will have to go to the front line of Zhili together, so let's communicate first......

The originally quiet barracks was immediately filled with laughter and laughter after such a commotion, and this news soon reached the ears of every general and colonel who ate at the meal, and immediately led to a heated discussion, in an army where entertainment is so poor and life is so monotonous, this anecdote will soon spread throughout the entire Northwest Army, and the far-reaching significance of a seemingly simple ball game agreement is far more than a simple game itself.

The laughter of Sun Liangcheng and An Yi at this table alarmed Feng Yuxiang and Commander-in-Chief Jiang and others at the main table, and several bosses saw that the bold Sun Liangcheng and An Yi were still talking cordially, and they would smile and even say that it was funny, Feng Yuxiang had a satisfied smile on his face, and said with a haha in his mouth, "It's rare to be so affectionate and let them mess around", but he was very jealous of this in his heart, what he was most worried about was that the generals under his command and the generals of other armies had been too close, He has always secretly used various methods to resist Yan Xishan's Jin army generals to win over and corrupt the generals under his command, so he is very reluctant to see the scene in front of him, last night, he has a deeper understanding of An Yi who looks righteous and smiling, and knows that An Yi seems to be young and easy-going and even a little young, but he is actually a ruthless man who is resourceful and decisive, but he didn't expect that the generals of the two armies would get together for a few hours, and suddenly something he didn't want to see.

Chiang Kai-shek's rare smile this time was the same on the surface, he finally saw the opportunity of the afternoon, and a vague plan that had existed in his heart for a long time suddenly became extremely clear, and at this moment, no one knew that Chiang Kai-shek, who had a kind smile on his face, had made an important decision, and the fatal flaw in the Northwest Army became clearer and clearer in his heart.

Late at night, not long after An Yi returned to his room after attending the joint military meeting of the two group armies, he was called to Commander-in-Chief Jiang by Chen Bui again.

Chiang Kai-shek motioned for An Yi to sit down at will, and immediately praised him for his performance today: "An Yi has done a good job today, warm and courteous, generous and humble, which has brought the relationship between our army and friendly forces closer, and made the relationship between the two armies more harmonious and intimate. ”

"Yes......"

An Yi couldn't figure out what Commander-in-Chief Jiang meant for a while, so he could only answer casually.

When Chen Lifu saw An Yi's appearance, he understood that he had not yet understood what Commander-in-Chief Jiang meant, so he looked at An Yi and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, General Feng Huanzhang is going to pass on the post of chairman of Henan Province to General Sun Shaoyun (Sun Liangcheng), and he personally led the army to fight Beijing, don't you still understand the importance of General Sun Shaoyun?" ”

An Yi's eyes widened, he looked at Chen Lifu, and then at the meaningful smiles on the faces of several senior brothers, and immediately understood the deep meaning contained in Commander-in-Chief Jiang's words, smiled slightly and then nodded slowly, and everyone immediately burst into a burst of happy laughter.

Commander-in-Chief Jiang also smiled with satisfaction: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, don't be in a hurry, An Yi, lead your elite brigade tomorrow and accompany me to Xinzheng, you haven't seen General Bai Jiansheng for a long time, it's okay to say hello, he admires you very much." ”

An Yi was stunned again, causing a burst of laughter from the senior brothers again.
