Chapter 406 Shouldering morality with iron shoulders

An Yi and Huang Yingwu accompanied Gong Qian and the chief and deputy chief of the Investigation Department of the Central Party Department to stroll in the military camp under the Phoenix Mountain in Liuhe City, which covers an area of more than 150 acres, was originally a rockery fountain dotted with mountains and rivers from time to time in the Jiangnan style garden, the ancient pavilion corridor can be seen everywhere, a few years ago was still entrenched in the city of Nanjing, the Anhui warlord Sun Chuanfang in order to prevent the attack of the direct army, respectively in the west of Pukou and the east ** built two military camps, showing the trend of the horns to defend the city of Nanjing across the river. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In August last year, An Yi led the remnants of his army all the way to this place, and it was the two divisions of Sun Chuanfang's division stationed here who chased and beat him fiercely that he almost wiped out the whole army.

If it were not for the tall wooden fence that surrounds the perimeter and the dense barbed wire fence that winds around the upper end, if there were no four watchtowers erected after the independent division was stationed, and a group of patrol officers and men with loaded guns and ammunition, everyone would have thought that this was an attractive park.

At the beginning of the warm spring, the pond was quiet, full of willow sprouts, green grass, An Yi was in a happy mood and relaxed, accompanied the two middle-aged section chiefs to stroll together, answered their questions in a low voice, and put forward his own different views on the construction of party affairs in the army.

The two section chiefs were originally routine to inspect An Yishi's party affairs construction work, and they only needed to go around and write a qualified report after going back, neither of them expected that the young An Yi would take it so seriously, and had a very unique opinion, and after talking about it in detail, they respected An Yi more, and the perfunctory politeness that was originally just on Gong Qian's face gradually disappeared.

The sound of horses' hooves came hurriedly from the rear, and Zhao Rui, the head of today's star officer teaching group, dismounted ten meters behind An Yi and the others, and came to An Yi who stopped and turned around to salute and report:

"Senior Ye led most of the 44th Army to land at the Xiaguan wharf, and Chairman Tan of the Central Government and General Zhu of the Central Military Commission is leading the commander-in-chief and ministers to hold a grand welcoming ceremony at the wharf. According to the notice issued by the General Headquarters, 11,000 officers and men of Ye Senior's headquarters will take a ferry from the Xiaguan Wharf to our division's special wharf within two hours to go ashore and officially enter the battalion of our division. ”

An Yi was very happy: "It's so fast!" Lao Zhao, you immediately inform Hu Zi to gather all the officers and soldiers of the division, except for the special battalion that is responsible for the defense of the barracks, all of them will be driven to the dock to greet me, and then pick a few tall horses and send them to Senior Ye, I will rush over later. Inform Lao Chang again, and order the logistics department to immediately send a car to Pukou to buy meat and soju, and tonight we will pick up the dust for Senior Ye and the brothers of the 44th Army! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Rui took out a telegram from his portable document bag and handed it to An Yi: "And this, an urgent telegram from Mr. He Jing from Shanghai." ”

An Yi took a look, pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I can't be the master of such a big thing alone!" Since he will personally rush to Nanjing tomorrow night, there must be something very urgent, otherwise he will not ...... In this case, I will send a telegram to Lao Nanchang in the evening to ask for the opinions of Lao Dao, Zhou Chongan and other directors. ”

Zhao Rui asked in a low voice: "Master, if possible, please help the old folks who are displaced on the land of northern Lubei, the subordinate hometown of Dezhou must have also suffered a disaster, it has been twelve days since the Lijin section of the Yellow River burst, the ice and snow are gradually melting, the disaster is gradually expanding, more than 4 million villagers in more than 80 counties in northern Lu are helpless, suffering from hunger and cold, the Beijing government and Zhang Zongchang do not care about the lives of the people, I heard that the number of people dying of hunger and disease is increasing every day, and the cities of Jinan and Zibo are all crowded with fleeing victims......

An Yi sighed, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before finally making up his mind, opened his eyes and patted Zhao Rui's hand gently, and comforted: "Senior brother, please relax, I will help as much as I can, draft a message...... The seniors of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, the directors of Jiangnan Group and General Manager Zhou: An Yi implores that you should rush to Nanjing as soon as possible before the afternoon of the day after tomorrow to discuss the disaster relief in northern Lubei. ”

Zhao Rui gratefully handed the draft message to An Yi: "Thank you, junior brother!" ”

"What do you thank your brother? Senior brother find a way to get in touch with your family as soon as possible, if it really doesn't work, you just ask for leave to rush to Shanghai to take a boat back to your hometown in Shandong, pick up the family as soon as possible, and settle all of them to our old Nanchang, so that you will have less to worry about in the future. ”

An Yi quickly signed and handed it to Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui nodded and saluted solemnly, and then left on horseback.

Gong Qian and the two section chiefs stood aside, listened to the conversation between An Yi and the two clearly, and heard that An Yi was going to invite a group of directors from the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce and the famous Jiangnan Group, and immediately realized that An Yi would have a large-scale disaster relief plan next, Section Chief Zhao lifted his glasses and sighed in a low voice:

"Shoulder morality with iron shoulders, and see truth in danger! Lu Shang in Nanjing City has been kneeling at the gate of our party headquarters and the central government compound for the past few days, crying hoarsely, but we can't help it! Let's not say that the central government and the central party headquarters have just been restored, and the funds are stretched, just say that the Zhilu area is still Zhang Zongchang's world, and we can't help even if we want to go to disaster relief! ”

An Yi said with emotion: "It's enough to have this intention, the younger brother doesn't know what the result will be after consulting with the old Nanchang side and General Zhu Yizhi, just try your best to do it, it may be a shortcut to communicate through the International Red Cross in Shanghai, if it works, the Central Party Department may wish to launch a huge fundraising campaign in Nanjing, Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang cities, it is better to get the funds donated by the people, if it is really not good, you can get more rice grain, old clothes and old quilts, hire a foreign ship to send it over, As long as we work hard, we will be able to establish a glorious image of the party and the government throughout the country, and we will win the gratitude of the people in the disaster area and the respect of the whole people. ”

Section Chief Zhao's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they looked at Gong Qian in unison, obviously realizing the great benefits of doing so. Gong Qian spoke out in support without thinking: "I agree, this is a rare opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people, I believe that Minister Chen will not miss such a good thing, and the party will also open the door to convenience." ”

Section Chief Zhao, who was born as a literati, was very excited: "Okay, since the director has agreed, how about the two subordinates rush back to write an urgent report first?" ”

Gong Qian nodded appreciatively, An Yi instructed Huang Yingwu to send the two section chiefs to Pukou Wharf by car to return to Nanjing by boat, and continue to walk back slowly along the Qingqing Embankment with Gong Qian, Gong Qian asked in a low voice:

"If Old Nanchang agrees, what are you going to do? This is not a question of a thousand people, but of millions of victims! Have you figured it out? ”

An Yi sighed again: "To be honest, I didn't think about it, I could only do my best!" Even if everyone disagrees, I will exercise my right to send seven freighters under the Jiangnan Group to Lubei, take the homeless old and weak women and children to Nanchang, try to build a home for them, and then try to find them a job and support themselves as much as possible, the living expenses of 20,000 or 30,000 people for half a year are still barely affordable, and it would be better if there was help from the whole society, and try to save as much as possible. If he doesn't reach out to help his compatriots this time, the younger brother's conscience will be very disturbed, and it is estimated that he will be tormented for the rest of his life. ”

Gong Qian stopped, her deep and deep eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and a pair of slender jade hands tightly held An Yi's big hand full of calluses, and said emotionally: "Your heart is made of gold." ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Sister, do you praise your brother so much?" If you really want to do this, it is estimated that it will also tire you out, but if the central party department does its best, it will not only quickly establish an image of broad justice in the whole of China, but also let the world see the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance of the Chinese people, and the positive impact produced cannot be bought with any amount of money.

I will advise Jiangnan Group to take this opportunity to show the spirit of fraternity of the enterprise, which is of great benefit to the future development of Jiangnan Group, Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, Nanchang Chamber of Commerce can also open up popularity, carry forward the moral spirit of the Chinese nation, establish a new social atmosphere, for the disaster victims, for the good deeds are very beneficial. ”

"What Mr. Guofu said is really good, not only are you good at fighting, but if you are in politics, you will also be very successful." Gong Qian grinned lightly.

An Yi pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "Sister, although this behavior is more noble, but don't think about how noble the little brother is, for example, this time the Jiangnan Group's expenditure is likely to reach a record-breaking one million yuan, and the little brother will also announce a high-profile donation of one million yuan to the outside world, the little brother believes that as long as this news spreads, it will quickly attract the attention of the whole country, which will be of great help to the future of the little brother." Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the Northern Expedition that is about to begin, the direction of attack of our First Army is exactly Shandong, Zhili and finally to Beijing, what will the officers and soldiers of the Zhilu Allied Army think when they face the younger brother's team?

Secondly, although the younger brother in the Jiangnan Group's three main factories occupy not many shares, but relative to the entire Jiangnan Group with 24 branches, commerce, transportation services, the younger brother occupies more than sixty percent of the shares, the more famous the Jiangnan Group, the more profits the younger brother will be, this donation seems to be a lot at a rough glance, in fact, as long as you calculate the advertising expenses spent in the past six months and the various funds spent in order to establish an image, this money is not much, the little brother is cost-effective! ”

Gong Qian couldn't help but smile: "Oh my God! To put it to you like this, no matter how noble the act is, it has become a profiteer's behavior, how can there be such a complicated thing in your little head? Is there one more thing you've thought about? If you donate a huge amount of disaster relief funds and can get a lot of money from all walks of life across the country, how should you deal with it so that the money can be used effectively? ”

"It's very simple, deposit this money in the Nanchang branch of the Central Bank, and send personnel from the Education Foundation under the name of the younger brother, the board of directors of the Jiangnan Group, the Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, and the Civil Affairs Section of the Central Party Department, and the representatives of the victims, "Oriental News", "Declaration", "Zilin Xibao" and other press representatives to form a disaster relief committee to supervise the income and expenditure of all fund-raising funds, and regularly announce them to the whole people in the three major newspapers, so who will have doubts?" An Yi, who had a fast brain, thought very thoughtfully.

"It's a good idea, and as long as it is published, it will definitely gain trust and praise from the outside world."

Gong Qian nodded in agreement, took a few steps and suddenly remembered a key question, hurriedly pulled An Yi to stop, and then asked curiously: "Tell me, where did you get so much money?" One million is not a small amount! ”

An Yi saw that Gong Qian's black and white eyes were full of questions, and his heart softened and recruited from the truth: "On the way back with his troops in August last year, the younger brother did something wrong in Taiping Town on the northwest shore of Hongze Lake, because the local chamber of commerce and the local militia organized by the inferior gentry were very fucked up and participated in the siege of the younger brother's department. In a fit of rage, he ordered to loot the courtyard of more than two floors in Taiping Town, and set fire to several compounds, grabbed the steamboat and fled into Hongze Lake and fell into the siege again, in order to escape for his life, the younger brother ordered to quietly bury the huge amount of money robbed of two million and a batch of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and returned to Nanjing with light equipment.

On the evening of the day when the younger brother led his troops into Liuhe, he sent 300 brothers to Daxingtan to the south of Hongze Lake, and because almost all of the troops of the Zhilu coalition and Sun Chuanfang retreated to the north of the Longhai line to build a defensive line, the trip did not encounter any difficulties, and it was very smooth, and the 300 brothers returned with a full load the night before.

The younger brother sent this huge amount of money and antique calligraphy and paintings to the liaison office next door to his sister to hide, and handed them over to Chen Yu for safekeeping, of which 340,000 yuan has been used to pay for the construction of the Baguazhou Martyrs Monument and Cemetery, and the remaining more than 1.6 million yuan was originally intended to be used for investment by Chen Yu, but now it seems that it will not work, and the younger brother decided to take out all the more than one million to help the victims in northern Lubei, so that the younger brother feels better. ”

Gong Qian smiled softly, and pulled An Yi to move on: "I knew about the burning of Taiping Town before, and several leaders of the party department once mentioned it, in that kind of bad environment at that time, even if you did something wrong, no one would accuse you, in fact, the party department was very understanding of this, and no one mentioned it again after that, but everyone didn't know that you had robbed so much money...... It seems that you have done a lot of bad things like this. ”

An Yi pleaded aggrievedly: "Wronged, sister! Look at the dignified appearance of the little brother, this majestic and righteous body, and the golden star on the collar, will the little brother be such a bad person? Look, look at the eyes of the little brother, Jesus is not so honest......"

"Huh! Laugh to death, you guy...... Underbeaten ......"

"Don't, don't! This is a barracks! What if the brothers see the impact...... That's right! Little brother, I'm going with you to greet Senior Ye and them, how about having dinner together tonight? ”

"I'm not going to be with you drunkards, and when I get to the docks, I'll take the boat back, and the guards you sent to me are still waiting in the barracks, so let's go, or we'll be delayed." I remember going home for dinner tomorrow night, I haven't seen your shadow in the past ten days, and Mother Wu misses you every day......"
