Chapter 527: Everyone is happy

On the evening of 1 August, An Yi stopped at the Hukou Naval Division Wharf and had a secret discussion for more than six hours with Lao Shoudao, Yang Bin, Xia Jian, and more than a dozen other confidants and brothers who had arrived from Nanchang, and then transferred to a new speedboat from the Yichang Garrison Headquarters' Anti-Smoking and Anti-Smuggling Bureau, which had escorted the munitions to unload their cargo, and arrived in Hankou at 9:30 a.m. the next day.

Out of courtesy, An Yi landed to meet Jiang Dingwen and Gu Zhu, the old bosses who led his troops stationed here, and also took this opportunity to meet with the Whampoa comrades of the two divisions, otherwise the brothers would probably scold him for being promoted to an official and putting on a stinky shelf when they learned that he had passed the camp gate and did not enter.

The brothers of the gendarmerie of the Second Route Army Headquarters saw an officer wearing camouflage combat uniforms jump off the anti-smuggling boat of the Yichang Garrison Headquarters, and boarded the dock surrounded by more than a dozen fierce guards in the same attire around them.

An Yi stopped very politely to return the salute, and apologized that he needed to meet with Commander Jiang and Commander Gu on some official business, and the gendarmerie colonel immediately ran to the exit of the dock, knocked down all the rest brothers on the military card, and personally drove An Yi to the headquarters building.

When saying goodbye, An Yi suddenly remembered that this guy was Yi Anhua, the senior brother of Huangpu Phase III, or a native of Yichun, Jiangxi, and hurriedly saluted Yi Anhua respectfully:

"Senior Brother Yi, please forgive me! The little brother has no eyes, and he can't remember it for a while, Senior Brother Yi is more forgiving! ”

Yi Anhua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily: "What the senior brothers said is right, Senior Brother An really hasn't changed at all!" When I was in school, Brother Fool never spoke to my brother, but thanks to my brother, I still remember me, which is touching! I thought you only remembered Dai Anlan and Senior Brother Shi Jue in the third phase. ”

"Where? Most of the third phase of the senior brothers and younger brothers still remember, but they have been separated for too long, and they can't call their names for a while, haha! No, a few days ago, Senior Brother Huang Gongluo of the third senior class also led the Red Fifth Army to defeat Xiushui County in northwest Jiangxi with Peng Dehuai, who came out of Hunan Jiangwutang.

When he received the telegram, he was taken aback, but fortunately, Senior Brother Huang didn't attack Yongxiu and De'an again, otherwise the little bit of jars and jars in the younger brother's house might not be saved. An Yi said humorously.

Yi Anhua was amused and laughed, and Gu Zhutong, who had already gone downstairs to the side after receiving the emergency report, said angrily: "Go and go, don't talk nonsense and deceive people, I'm afraid the person who can scare you An Yi hasn't been born yet, right?" ”

An Yi hurriedly turned around and saluted Gu Zhutong with Yi Anhua, Gu Zhutong returned the salute with a bright smile, and the chief of staff Han Deqin, deputy division commander Li Mingyang and the fourth brigade commander Huang Guoliang also laughed at An Yi, Yi Anhua saluted and said that he was still on duty and hurriedly said goodbye and drove away.

After greeting each other, An Yi was not led upstairs, but was pulled by Gu Zhutong to the car not far away, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "What's the matter, I don't let you drink a sip of tea?" ”

Gu Zhutong got into the cab and drove in person: "What to drink?" If you want to drink it, you can drink it when you get to the place! Don't look at it, your adjutant and guards are sitting in the back car, and Huang Guoliang will greet them well. ”

An Yi sat in the co-pilot's seat, carefully looked at Zhu Tong for a moment, then turned his head slowly, looked at the European-style buildings along the road along the river with interest, and quipped: "Instructor, your face is really haggard!" Was it hurt by the Wuhan girl? ”

"Alas, the foolish brother waits here all day long, doing nothing, and is about to be dried, where is this good mood? Unlike your third brother, you can afford to put it down, and when you see mahjong tiles, there is no trouble. Gu Zhutong replied depressedly.

An Yi smiled knowingly: "He is so fun mahjong, and he plays big, it is estimated that there are few people in the army who can accompany him, haha...... Huh, this is there? What time do you go to the restaurant? ”

"Go down! The third brother Ming gathered to gamble in the big box on the third floor, didn't Commander-in-Chief Liu Jingfu go to Nanjing to hold a national deployment meeting? Now your third brother Ming is comfortable, twenty-four hours a day, but there are twelve hours to stay here, he doesn't know you're here at this time, go up. ”

Gu Zhutong closed the car door, and didn't care about Huang Guoliang and An Yi's adjutant guards behind him, pulled An Yi and quickly came to the third floor, and directly pushed the door in the salute of the two guards, a strong smell of smoke and swirling smoke suddenly hit, Gu Zhutong frowned, waved his hand and fanned his nose and shouted loudly: "Third Brother Ming, look who is coming?" ”

"No one is available, and the little brother is getting lucky...... Oops! What are you up for? Let's keep playing! ”

Jiang Dingwen tilted his head, chattered a cigarette roll in his mouth, and swept around the deputy division commander Yue Xiangru, Gan Lichu and others unhappily, looked at the door obliquely, and saw that the brigade commander Li Yannian and others under his command all greeted and shook hands with An Yi, and quickly stood up, pointing at An Yi and laughing loudly:

"Little brother, why didn't you call or telegraph in advance when you came to my brother's place? Ha ha...... If you don't play, don't play, ask the boss to immediately put a table of good dishes, and the wine must be cellared for 20 years. Serve it up...... Ha ha! Little brother, you're losing weight again, it's not okay to make yourself a victim in the end of disaster relief, let's sit down! ”

More than a dozen generals sat down happily one after another, Jiang Dingwen turned to Gu Zhutong beside him, and teased with a smile: "If Xiao Yi hadn't arrived this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to leave the barracks, right?" ”

Gu Zhu glanced at Jiang Dingwen, who had a white hippie smile, and instructed Han Deqin to go next door to arrange An Yi's adjutant and guards, took out a pack of three-fort cigarettes, took out one and lit it slowly: "I'm going crazy to stay in this place...... Xiao Yi, what news did you hear in Nanjing this time? ”

"There is good news, Brother Cixiu has been officially promoted to the commander of the 11th Division, and many of the senior brothers under his command have been promoted to the next level with the official, which is worth celebrating!"

An Yi took the cigarette handed by Jiang Dingwen, took out a match and lit it for Jiang Dingwen first.

Jiang Dingwen nodded, closed his eyes and spit out smoke: "We also know about this, but our side is not so comfortable, the first division is stationed in Xiaogan, Hu Zongnan and they rarely have time to come to Wuhan, and they have not had a good time recently, your eldest brother Yuexiang is old enough, right?" When your kid was the battalion commander, he was the chief of staff of your division, but now he is only a brigade commander, but your kid has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and promoted to the dignified battalion director. ”

"Third Brother Ming, what you said is not right, Xiao Yi's official is not obtained by sycophants, nor is it piled up with the lives of thousands of brothers, who in the army can compare with his merits? Xiao Yi is a hundred times better than some people, the director of the Yichang camp is not Xiao Yi rushing to be, but the principal named him to be, no one dares to blush!

Since last year, Xiao Yi resigned from the post of commander of the independent division immediately after being promoted, and went to the military academy to teach casually, and also vigorously promoted his brothers, you look at Hu Jialin and Yin Jinan, who followed Xiao Yi from birth to death, and now they have become the main division commander, and the famous bandit Gu Maniac has also become a major general and deputy division commander, but there are a few people who became the commander of the first army when they became the director of the upper battalion and became the commander-in-chief of the First Army, commanding thousands of troops and horses, and holding on to the position of a division commander, this is what makes people more popular than death! ”

Gu Zhutong, who was overwhelmed by Liu Zhi, complained a lot, and made a few insinuations, which made the school hear it clearly.

An Yi felt very uncomfortable, thinking of the situation of living with Xu Tingyao after the Northern Expedition, thinking of his many support and care for him, and thinking of Xu Tingyao's difficult situation of being depressed under Liu Zhi, An Yi wanted to immediately go to Xiaogan to visit this conscientious but wronged old chief.

Jiang Dingwen saw An Yi's face full of sorrow, as if he was stuck in the memories of the past, he couldn't help but snort, and waved his hand with a big grin: "It's rare to get together with Xiao Yi today, let's not talk about those things that are disappointing!" By the way, Xiao Yi, you took out more than 10 million private money for disaster relief at once this time, and moved us people to sigh and cry, you kid is really amazing! After a few years of hard work, you have looted more than 10 million, I'm afraid there are still a lot of them in your hands, right? ”

When all the brothers heard this, they all looked at An Yi with concern, as if they all wanted to hear about his current family background.

An Yi nodded, and replied indifferently: "Don't say it, let the eldest brother really guess it, the younger brother still has more than 30 million in his hands now, but those are the stocks of Jiangnan Enterprise Group and the Arsenal, and there is no way to realize it, if the eldest brother has loose money, he can lend some to the younger brother, and the younger brother doesn't even have the courage to go to the next restaurant now, poor!" ”

Gan Lichu laughed loudly: "Senior brother, I have more than 3,000 yuan here, if you need it urgently, you can take it, I won't charge you interest." ”

The brothers burst into laughter again, envious of An Yi's wealth, but also admired his generosity and open-mindedness, and felt that An Yi, who had been promoted, had not only not changed, but was more real and lovely than before.

Jiang Dingwen looked at An Yi very seriously: "How much?" Say a specific number, the eldest brother doesn't have it, but there are still some family backgrounds in his hometown, and he doesn't dare to say that he can withdraw money by a telegram below three million. ”

An Yi's reaction was also beyond everyone's expectations, he happily took out a pen and notebook from his coat pocket, wrote down an IOU with a brush, signed his name and wrote the date, tore it off gratefully, and handed it to Jiang Dingwen with both hands:

"Thank you, big brother! Just borrow three million, I'll give you the IOU first, when the eldest brother is ready to send a telegram to General Manager Zhou of Old Nanchang, you also know his contact information, he has to contact you every month, just give it to him. ”

The brothers looked at each other, barely believing their eyes. Gu Zhutong looked at Jiang Dingwen, then at An Yi, and finally patted Jiang Dingwen on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really doing?" ”

"And the fake? What are you afraid of lending money to this kid? More stable than the central bank that exists in Minister Song, haha! I accepted it, and it will be done within 24 hours, and then let Mr. Zhou go to the Bank of Ningbo in Shanghai to get the money. ”

Jiang Dingwen boldly folded the IOU, put it in his jacket pocket, and stunned all the brothers on the side. Although everyone knows that Jiang Dingwen and An Yi are very rich in business together, it is the first time to see a huge sum of three million in their hands so easily, without guarantors and without justice, they can't help but feel sincerely impressed and envious for the courage of the two.

Everyone talked and laughed, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, An Yi at the request of everyone, briefly introduced the situation in the surrounding areas of Yichang, what Sichuan warlord war, the attack of the western Hubei soldiers, the fear of the plague, etc., all briefly mentioned, speaking of Zhang Fakui's three times defeated by the He Long department, everyone was surprised, and immediately realized that the Yichang area and even the entire western Hubei were not as easy as imagined, plus the heavy pressure that could be caused by the pressure of the Northwest Army at any time, everyone couldn't help but sweat deeply for An Yi.

An hour later, the food and wine were poured out, and it was incomparably sumptuous and fresh, and the brothers gathered around a huge round table with a diameter of three meters, and the cups were staggered, and they were all happy.

This toast a cup and that for another, and poured An Yi's tongue knotted before he stopped, if it weren't for the fact that many of the brigade commanders and deputy division commanders had to patrol the camp in the afternoon, I'm afraid An Yi would have already gotten under the table.

Despite this, An Yi, who was tired of traveling and pouring more than two catties of liquor, still fell asleep despite Sven lying on the sofa in the corner, and when he woke up, his mouth was dry, and he poured two large glasses of water one after another before he felt more comfortable.

An Yi went out into the bathroom and washed his face, pushed open the door of the box next door, and briefly explained a few words to Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, who were resting quietly, and said goodbye when he returned to Jiang Dingwen's side.

Jiang Dingwen took An Yi's hand and asked with some dissatisfaction, "What are you doing blindly?" A pair of bear paws that you want to leave before you eat them? ”

"Ah, what a bear's paw?" An Yi asked with wide eyes and surprise, he thought Jiang Dingwen was joking before.

Gan Lichu on the side nodded: "Really, the chef of this restaurant said that it will go through five processes, and then it will be steamed for four hours before it becomes delicious, and it will take seven hours before and after to make it, so I have to wait until the evening."

Before leaving, the brothers all said that they would continue to work at night, maybe Instructor Xu (Xu Tingyao) and Shoushan (Hu Zongnanzi) brothers could also arrive at that time, and Chief Gu must have called them, so you can stay, save this goodbye, and I don't know when I will see you again next time. ”

An Yi hurriedly refused: "No, I also want to stay with you, but Dean Dai is still waiting for the younger brother in Yichang, and the supplementary materials for General Fan Xiaoquan's two brigades need to be issued by the younger brother as soon as possible, next time." ”

"You sit down honestly for me!"

Jiang Dingwen pulled An Yi and pressed it to the chair on the side: "Isn't it just a matter of giving some gruel and sending some ammunition and military salaries?" I think so many people won't starve to death in one night. ”

Gan Lichu grinned, and An Yi shook his head helplessly: "Then you have to let the junior brother go to your headquarters to talk to Yichang, right?" ”

Jiang Dingwen handed An Yi a cigarette: "Where is it so troublesome, I'll call the headquarters later, and ask them to tell Yin Jinan, just say that you are secretly discussing important military information with me, and if there is anything important, I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

"How's that going to work? It's going to delay business! An Yi was reluctant.

"No, I'll talk about it later, I'll have to tell you something while there are fewer people now." Jiang Dingwen motioned for Gan Lichu to close the door, Gan Lichu nodded and strode out, cleverly closing himself out of the door.

An Yi frowned, glanced left and right, lit a cigarette and asked, "So nervous?" ”

Jiang Dingwen didn't answer, but leaned in and asked in a low voice, "You guy is really amazing!" Since Yin Jinan's 16th Division occupied Yichang, the water inspection station we set up in Hankou has not had a little oil and water, and the goods on each cargo ship are labeled with the inspection list of the Yichang Anti-Smoking Anti-Smuggling Bureau, and the smell of opium has never been smelled, but Shanghai Brother Du has enough goods, and it is an exclusive business with a starting price of 20%, making a lot of money! This rainy farmer is moisturized, and I estimate that he can get a large amount of kickbacks from Brother Du every month. Originally, I didn't know that you did it, but then I heard that you borrowed money from Zhonghui and other banks, and only then did I know that your kid was already ahead of the curve, am I right? ”

An Yi knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded and replied truthfully: "That's right, it was the younger brother who did it, what kind of disaster relief would you do if you didn't do it?" What kind of imported machinery and raw materials are used to develop industry and commerce? Big brother saw a few poor people smoking opium? Aren't they all rich? What's wrong with earning their money and using it for the country and the people? ”

"I don't care who you are, I wonder, Xiong Shihui probably knows that your German-flagged boats and small gunboats are quietly smuggling opium, but why doesn't he care? I still remember the last time he inspected opium, and even Minister Song was offended, why would he open up to you? Jiang Dingwen asked curiously.

An Yi laughed: "Because he also wants to be the chairman of Jiangxi Province." ”

Jiang Dingwen suddenly realized and patted his head: "I understand!" The police department is all my brother Du's acquaintances, only Xiong Shihui fucked up, it is estimated that the last opium incident gave him a lesson, and then he learned well, plus he has something to ask for you and Yigong, so he will never wade into this muddy water again......

You kid can really drill the camp, the timing and conditions are good, now the two big wars, the situation in Henan and Shaanxi is unprecedentedly tense, the only thing that can go is left in Xiangxi and Hubei controlled by your kid, no wonder my brother Du will let Yu Nong come to contact you in time, and I will lend you millions of millions without blinking an eye, so that's the case, big brother, I'm late! ”

"Say, big brother, what do you want the little brother to do?" An Yi asked briskly.

Jiang Dingwen took out the IOU written by An Yi and tore it to shreds: "You can get me enough goods for three million in half a month, either in Yichang or here, I have my own military ship, all of which will be transported to my hometown, and at least three to five million goods will be given to me every month in the future."

Don't worry about money, this is not the eldest brother and I am doing it alone, but the seven family valves work together, the strength is not necessarily worse than Zhonghui Bank, you hurry up, if you don't transport some goods, I'm afraid that the smokers in more than a dozen counties in eastern Zhejiang will burn the house! Also, let's just know it, don't tell anyone, both of us are lieutenant generals of the revolutionary army! ”
