"Chutian is thousands of miles away in autumn, and the water goes with the sky and the autumn is endless. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info distant Cen Yuanmu, offering sorrow and hatred, hosta snails. The sunset on the building, in the sound of the broken hong, the wanderer of southern Fujian. I saw Wu Hook, and the railings were patted all over, and no one would ...... them."

Xin Qiji's Water Dragon Yin Deng Jiankang Appreciation Pavilion was chanted in Min by a man in a suit in his thirties in a bamboo village pomelo forest, although this is 'Dian Tian' not 'Chu Tian', but it is also quite in line with the current situation, especially at this time the battle report of the five original victories is frequently spread throughout the country. The spectators can't figure out the country. How the army won the war, but the newspaper photos showed the bodies of two Japanese lieutenant generals, which made them ecstatic. In the past, although there were killings, they were all killed in battle, but this time they were completely annihilated, and the enemy generals were defeated and died.

"Brother Lanxi......" Zhang Chengfang looked at the ambitious Zhang Lanxi with a smile on his face, and said: "It's been a few days since we arrived here, why haven't we seen that Commander-in-Chief Li yet?" Isn't there something wrong? ”

"What else will happen?" Zhang Lanxi was full of ambition and walked a few steps down the narrow walkway of the bamboo building, only stopping at the corner. The bamboo forest used to be the village field, this is the spring ploughing, the grass grows and the warbler flies down, the Dai people in the paddy field are driving the buffalo to plow the field, except for the different clothing, it is no different from Fujian Fujian. "Brother Hou has already told me, Commander-in-Chief Li has been very busy these days, and he will see you as soon as he is free......" Zhang Lanxi looked at a familiar shadow running over from the bamboo forest, it was his subordinate Zhang Tiansheng, and the words were suddenly broken.

Sure enough, Zhang Tiansheng ran downstairs and raised his head and shouted: "Master, master, wait... Mr. Hou, please go to ...... See Commander Lee. ”

"Where are you going?" Zhang Lanxi was not slow just now, but now he grabbed the bamboo railing and pinched it with a gurgling sound. "Tell me clearly, where are you going?!"

"Said to fly... Fly...... Factory. "Zhang Tiansheng was born in a rice field, so he was named Tiansheng. Of course, the man is rustic, he can't figure out what an airplane is, only that it can fly like a bird.

"You Hanshannashi!" Zhang Lanxi laughed and scolded. He walked downstairs quickly, but he felt that he was not dressed well, so he took two steps and suddenly said to Zhang Chengfang behind him: "Look, can I do this?" ”

Zhang Lanxi is thin, but his forehead is broad, his previous experience of studying and serving in the army, and his family's precepts make him not touch opium, and with proper maintenance, he looks like a man in his thirties. Of course, it is impossible to have hidden diseases, he has seen doctors several times for Hualiu disease, and the complete cure is still in Singapore, using a foreigner-made penicillin, which cost more than 100 ratt coins. At this time, he was dressed in a light-colored suit, his beard was cleanly shaved, and the gold-rimmed glasses he often wore were deliberately taken off in order to be heroic. He asked Zhang Chengfang if he was okay, and Zhang Chengfang didn't know what it was, so he looked at it from head to toe and said, "It's okay." ”

"Let's go!" Zhang Lanxi felt that he was already in the best state, and when he saw Commander-in-Chief Li's words, he had already thought about it, so he took Zhang Chengfang and his subordinate Zhang Tiansheng and hurriedly went to the aircraft factory.

"This is my clan brother Hou Dengshu......" Lei Yun Aircraft Factory Office Building, Hou Xi introduced his clan brother Hou Dengshu in Nan'an to Li Kongrong, this is the first person he thought of. After Li Kongrong shook hands with Hou Dengshu, he pointed to Zhang Lanxi, who had been waiting with a smile for a long time, "This is Zhang Lanxi, a native of Yunxiao, who also worked as a clerk in Zhang Haoran's army in his early years. ”

Zhang Haoran is Zhang Zhen, a subordinate of Fang Shengtao, chairman of Fujian Province, participated in the alliance at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with Sun Yat-sen's ups and downs, after the Northern Expedition, mixed with the name of the king of southern Fujian, but unfortunately the troops under his command were not able to fight, and the Red Army was chased from Longyan to Zhangzhou during the bandit period, and after the Red Army withdrew its troops, the department was incorporated by the 19th Route Army into Fujian first, and since then it can only be a public servant. If you don't have soldiers, you don't have power, and now you seem to be in an idle position in the Chongqing National Government, and you are in Guilin.

Li Kongrong recalled Zhang Zhen's situation on the intelligence department's information, and couldn't help but look at this Zhang Lanxi a few more times. He is different from Hou Xi's brother Hou Dengshu, Hou Dengshu was pulled by Hou Xi, and he took the initiative to come when he heard about it.

"I didn't think that Brother Lanxi also served in the army?" Li Kongrong looked at Zhang Lanxi and nodded, and asked everyone to sit down as he spoke.

"Protect the country and rebel, and swear to live and die with the Republic of China!" Zhang Lanxi held his head high, sat down like a soldier, and his words were also very loud.

"......" 'Protect the country and seek rebellion', this is the slogan when Yuan Shikai was beaten, Li Kongrong smiled and asked directly: "What does Brother Lanxi think of the Nanjing National Government under the leadership of Chairman Chang?" ”

Zhang Lanxi began to sweat on his forehead, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie, but when he saw Hou Xi's face, he was ready to tell the truth. "The external committee seeks perfection, and the internal public opinion is suppressed, the officials are corrupt and the people are resentful, and they are corrupt and incompetent."

"What about the Communist Party?" Li Kongrong still smiled and did not speak.

"It's not an exaggeration to call it a bandit." After answering Hou Xiyan, he smiled, Zhang Lanxi's heart was relieved, and he spoke more freely. "The slogan of rescuing the people is actually killing the rich and amassing wealth and destroying people's livelihood. Brother, I studied in Beijing and read their propaganda, and I also traveled during the May Fourth Movement, but when I returned to my hometown, I found that those people said one thing and did another thing, and they were very cunning. ”

"Brother Lanxi's family is in ......" participated in May Fourth in Beijing, and returned to his hometown to ......, Li Kongrong couldn't help but think that his home was in Longyan.

"In Yunxiao County." Zhang Lanxi said, "Yunxiao also came to *** and robbed the county money village back then, but it was later exterminated. There were also other counties, but they could not stand in southern Fujian, and finally retreated to western Fujian. ”

Zhang Lanxi said so, and Hou Dengshu on the side also nodded. "Nan'an also has it, it's very bad, raiding homes and kidnapping tickets, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil. Fortunately, there is no one now, and the year before last, he was disarmed by the soldiers of the Guoli Party in Zhangpu. ”

"Ahem......" Li Kongrong coughed inexplicably, and he turned to say: "Both of you know what happened, right?" ”

"Clear, this clear." Hou Dengshu looked at Hou Xi and replied. Zhang Lanxi said: "Commander-in-Chief Li, it is not a simple matter to raise a team to fight Japan, to be honest, for us, there are people, but guns, artillery, food, and salaries, these ......"

"You just have someone." Li Kongrong said. "All other costs are covered by the Navy. Of course, the first thing in pulling the contingent is to have a backbone, and the backbone is the officers, and it is impossible to win a war without qualified officers. You have to send someone to the military colonel before you can fight in the army. ”

"Then ......" Zhang Lanxi's face suddenly turned red, "Commander-in-Chief Li must give us a letter of appointment first, and then ...... Whether a part of the preparatory funds can be allocated first. Don't hide it from Commander-in-Chief Li, brother, I am the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Yunxiao, and I am also the president of the Zhang family autonomous association, if you want to fight, there will be no shortage of people, and when I used to fight, I ......

"Who are you fighting with? Is it your Zhang family who is the leader? Zhang Lanxi couldn't help but be a little abrupt to ask for money from officials like this, but Li Kongrong laughed when he heard the weapon fight, and knowing how to fight means that there is organization, and if there is organization, there will be combat effectiveness, and this is exactly the person he wants.

"Yes. In the past hundred years, it has been my Zhang family who has taken the lead every time, and there are the Fang and Wu families, and they will not fight after the Northern Expedition. Zhang Lanxi was still very confident at the beginning, but withered at the end. In the past hundred years, every time Yunxiao County fights between the Zhang family and the Fang family, the Fang family can't beat the Zhang family, but they married the Wu family, and entangled some other small surnames, the people fought once in March of the 24th year, Fang and Wu didn't know where to drag a few old-style cannons to bombard the Zhangjia boxing gym in Nanguan, the county, and the most capable Pumei Village in the clan was isolated by the village surnamed Fang, so they lost once.

The Zhang family, who did not admit defeat, secretly prepared, fought again two years later, and as soon as the war began, five hundred strong people detoured dozens of miles to fight the city pass, and broke through the Wu family's defense, but this was just a sneak attack, the Wu family had relatives in Zhao'an Meizhou, and a large number of people came to the clan relatives who could conquer the war there under the help, and the Zhang family also went to Zhao'an to ask for help. The first fight was Zhang Jiasheng, but because the official soldiers invited by the Zhang family delayed the fighter plane (later it was learned that the official soldiers who entered Wujia Dutou Village were greedy for property), and the Wujia Meizhou soldiers and Fang Jiazhuang Ding suddenly burst from the north gate of the county, and the officials and soldiers who were caught off guard were in chaos, and the battle was ......defeated again.

Zhang Lanxi didn't want to say that the Zhang family had lost the last two battles, but Li Kongrong kept asking, and he had to say it. Of course, the result of these two wars was reconciliation and demarcation, and he only emphasized that the two sides won and lost each other, but the money and food ran out, and they had to reconcile and armistice.

"What are you all fighting with?" Li Kongrong is full of interest, he doesn't know much about armed fighting, but it is normal for southern Fujian to be armed fighting.

"Earlier, it was a sword and a rattan card, with a trumpet and a red cloth as a mark. Later, when there were foreign guns, everyone sold some foreign guns. Sometimes earth cannons are also used. Zhang Lanxi said, "But fighting is fighting, and there is generally a little leeway, not to kill." ”

"What's that?" Li Kongrong asked, he suddenly thought - make the Zhang family into one division, and then make the Fang family and the Wu family into another division, if you are not careful, will the two divisions fight each other in front of the battle, and then the Japanese will not understand.

"It's mostly about grabbing land." Zhang Lanxi said, "The shops in the city are valuable, and the land in the countryside is valuable. ”

"How many people can you pull?" Li Kongrong nodded, and no longer asked about the fight.

"I can ......" Zhang Lanxi glanced at Hou Xiyan before answering, and saw that he didn't hint and hesitated a few times before saying, "This...... How much can I get paid a month as a soldier? ”

"Five dollars, that's the amount after passing the training." North America, Nanyang, and China, the salary standards are different. One of the reasons why Li Kongrong agreed with Hou Xianti to attract people in China was the low salary. After he finished speaking, he added: "According to the previous value, five dollars is fifteen oceans, and according to the current value, five dollars can be exchanged for at least fifty pieces of fiat currency." ”

"How much can I leave after deducting food?" Zhang Lanxi served in the army, and the practice in the army was that the soldiers' salaries included food.

"It's food deducted." Li Kongrong looked at him and smiled, "The shoes and socks are not included, and the five-dollar soldiers can send them home directly." No, not to send it home, now the remittances are likely to be controlled by the Japanese, and it is better to save them. Also, five dollars is for now, and when there is money in the future, the salary will still be increased. How much it will be added depends on the situation, and it will not make the brothers suffer anyway. Regardless of food, use, or housing, compared to the country. The military is 10,000 times better. Brother Xianti, you told him about the principles of recruitment for the Marine Corps, right? ”

"Yes, I did." Hou Xi nodded back, and he said to Zhang Lanxi: "Brother Lanxi, you are the patriarch of the Zhang clan, then you are the leader of the first army." The key is how many people you can have surnamed Zhang, three or four thousand people are a regiment commander, seven or eight thousand people are a brigade commander, and a division commander in your early 10,000s. ”

"This ......" Zhang Lanxi's throat was dry, his throat trembled, and he said: "Seven or eight thousand people are definitely no problem, and the last time we beat them, there were more than 10,000 people surnamed Zhang." It's, it's ...... Tall, short, fat and thin, there is always a standard. ”

"Of course there are standards." Li Kongrong nodded, and he motioned to Liang Xuzhao beside him to take out a document, "This is the standard for conscription." In fact, it is very simple, people who are not sick, do not smoke opium, are not disabled, and can work in the fields are qualified, although some malnutrition, but this is a common phenomenon. The age limit is also very wide, such as the patriarchs, patriarchs, dukes, and gentry who are convinced by the clansmen, as long as these people can endure hardships and are not physically sick, they can all be accepted, and their subordinates can also come, but girls or anything should not come, the army is the army after all. ”

"They, they're coming, too?" Zhang Lanxi looked at Li Kongrong, and then looked at Hou Xi, but Hou Xianti didn't tell him this.

"It's better to come." Li Kongrong said, "You can see this as a big weapon fight with the Japanese." In the past, who commanded and who took the lead, now it is still he who commands and picks the head; Who used to give advice, but now it's up to them to make suggestions. Not only come, but also come first, first go to the military academy to study, and learn will not be equipped with staff officers.

Brother Dengshu is the same, anyway, whoever takes the lead and commands the big things in the clan, it is best for him to take the lead and command him. Unless this person is really unreasonable and timid, we will not talk about substitution. However, it is not necessary for us to say that the soldiers themselves know in their hearts who they will follow in battle. ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for these people to come first." Zhang Lanxi understood what Li Kongrong meant, he said: "They come first, others will not follow, it is better for everyone to come together and bring people, so that there are many people who come, otherwise we are here, write a letter to the house to call someone to come, and after a few delays, we will not be able to come." ”

I have to say that Zhang Lanxi is reasonable, Li Kongrong asked the officers to come first, and the soldiers later to save military spending. He said, "Okay, I agree, you will bring someone when you go back." ”

"How's that going to be?" Zhang Lanxi asked, "Are you coming by land?" ”

"No, people who are halfway by land will be stated. The army was forcibly requisitioned. Li Kongrong shook his head, "Come by boat, you can board the ship in Xiamen." ”

"Xiamen is a Japanese-occupied area!" Zhang Lanxi came from Xiamen, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Xiamen is a Japanese-occupied area, and you can only be safe at sea if you get on a ship from the Japanese-occupied area." Li Kongrong said. "Don't worry about the Japanese, you don't want thousands of people to be crammed into one ship, in batches, one or two hundred people in batches, I will arrange it properly."
