Gu Changfeng's arrival did not solve the doubts in everyone's hearts, he didn't know Lao Dao, although his mentor Zhou had a deep friendship with Shen Fengdao's mentor, but he had no relationship with Lao Shoudao, Gu Changfeng recalled for a long time and had no impression, and finally said that maybe a few elders knew each other, but they didn't know.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the door opened, Shen Fengdao looked no different from usual, still walked to the door of the conference room where An Yi was and stood quietly, dutifully taking on the guard duty, his face was calm, as if nothing had happened, only a pair of deep eyes contained a faint sadness.

The old way is even more desperate, still calmly and calmly walking with his hands behind his back, casually signaling Xiao Jiu who is guarding the door to open the door, and walking into the door of the conference room generously, returning to his original seat, Zhang Cheng, the orderly soldier who served fragrant tea to his hands and feet, praised in a low voice:

"You're a good kid, your surname is kind, you look good, you look like you've been reading for a few years, right?"

"Yes, the younger generation has studied in a private school for thirteen years, the enlightenment teacher is the uncle of the younger generation, he was a young man in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because he was frail and sick, he did not enter Beijing to catch the exam, his old man has published two books, one is archaeology, one is poetry, and we are recognized as a good gentleman in Gao'an...... Uncle Dao, I'm afraid this is the last time the junior will serve you tea, tomorrow morning, the junior and the eleven selected brothers will rush to Shanghai, meet at the German consulate with the thirty people recruited by the old Nanchang, and then take a boat to study in Germany. In the morning, Zhang Yifang, a fellow villager who was praised by you, has gone to the Quartermaster Section today to serve as the adjutant of Chief Shi, and the other four brothers who are also from Gao'an have also left the guard and transferred to the Quartermaster Section, the regiment commander said...... No, no, the division commander asked each of our brothers to learn a skill, even if they are not soldiers in the future, they can be self-reliant, the brothers are crying, they are unwilling to leave the guard, and I am reluctant to leave the division commander, I feel that he is my own big brother......"

Zhang Cheng secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded apologetically, and lifted the kettle to refill the tea for the bosses around the conference table.

Lao Dao, who was holding a teacup in his hand, looked at An Yi and other generals who were urgently discussing military affairs around the big table with some surprise, wondering in his heart when this kid An Yi was promoted to division commander? What means did you use to make the soldiers under your command so grateful to Dade?

Outside the door of the conference room, Lin Yaodong smiled at Shen Fengdao: "Brother Shen, from today onwards, the junior brother will have to take over the position of your chief of guard, and Brother Shen will no longer have to stand guard in the future." ”

Shen Fengdao felt a sour feeling in his heart, turned to Xiao Jiu and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

"This is an adjustment made two hours ago, our eighteen guards from Lin Village will officially take over the original 50-man guard team from today, and the original guard captain Yang Guan and deputy captain Luo Yi have been transferred to the expanded guard battalion as the chief and deputy company commander of the second company. The eldest brother said that Brother Shen was full of splendid and talent, and it was too aggrieved to be the chief of the guard again, and he planned to appoint Brother Shen as his adjutant, but he had to ask Brother Shen for your opinion before deciding.

Brother Shen go in, Big Brother has already arranged your position, and told me that if you come, I will let you in, the heads of all departments have just arrived, and they are discussing the expansion at this moment. Xiao Jiu explained in a low voice.

Shen Fengdao had mixed feelings in his heart, pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled slightly, and continued to stand in place, without the slightest intention of wanting to go in.

At this time, the conference room was full of joy, An Yi summarized the opinions of the brothers, discussed it with Hu Zi, Yin Jinan, and Yang Bin around him for a while, and then made a decision:

"Since the brothers have the same opinion, I will announce the final expansion plan: after the official promotion to the division, the political training section must be established, and the party representative of the political training section, that is, the chief of the political training section, must be appointed by the military department, so Ji Nan served as the second deputy division commander of my reading division and the head of the reading regiment, the reading force regiment is composed of a model battalion, a regimental mortar company and a machine gun company, the former deputy of the model battalion Lu Guang was promoted to the deputy of the regiment and the commander of the model battalion, and Fang Jing was promoted to the deputy and instructor of the regiment.

Due to the restrictions imposed by the establishment of the first division and the fourth regiment of our army, the other four battalions will be merged into three regiments, Xia Jian's first battalion, Chen Zhibiao's third battalion, and Gu Changfeng's fourth battalion will be organized into the first, second, and third regiments of our division respectively, and the chief officers at all levels will be promoted to one level of post; The second battalion, which was under the command of Chief of Staff Yang Bin, needed to be greatly adjusted, and was integrated into Chen Zhibiao's second regiment as a whole to form the second battalion, with Zhou Dingcheng, the former commander of the machine gun company, serving as the deputy of the regiment and the commander of the second battalion, and the chief officers at all levels were promoted to one level of position; Chen Kan, the former deputy and instructor of the third battalion, was transferred to the division teaching brigade as the captain.

Ladies and gentlemen, the only care we have received in this upgrade and expansion is that we have more teaching brigades than other divisions that are not subject to the constraints of establishment, and they are treated at the regimental level, and this advantage should be fully utilized. Other specific arrangements need to be further negotiated, and the expansion plan will be brought out by 7 a.m. tomorrow, and then I will send it to Nanjing, where I will go to the quartermaster logistics department of the headquarters to receive equipment and military supplies, and by the way, I will bring back the new party representatives. According to the analysis of the current battlefield situation, we will have to fight at any time in the future, and there is no time to rest and recuperate. ”

Gu Changfeng's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously: "Bosses, there are only seven hundred brothers under my command, how can I form a group?" ”

Yin Jinan replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the old Nanchang Recruitment Office will send two thousand recruits the day after tomorrow, all of them are good soldiers who have been strictly selected by our own brothers and trained by hand for two and a half months, your three regiments and Xia Jian's regiment each received 1,000 people, these two thousand recruits are all carrying equipment, including two fully equipped engineer companies, which can basically meet your needs for setting up three battalions, if you want to increase it, you have to rely on yourself." ”

"Okay! That's enough, haha! Xia Jian said with a smile on his eyebrows.

Hu Jialin, who was promoted to deputy division commander, turned to An Yi and whispered: "The situation is urgent, Lao Yang and Lao Ding and I must rush back to Jiangdu overnight to prepare for battle as originally planned." Lao Yang also has to be responsible for contacting and coordinating with Chief Gu in Yangzhou, and the heads of each ministry also need to return to each ministry immediately, and the specific matters of the expansion will be left to Jinan, Huanqi, and Chen Kan. ”

"Okay, the plan submitted only needs to fill in the information of the chief officer above the regiment level, and we can make our own decisions below the regiment level, and the workload is not large. However, you'd better give all the more than 500 prisoners who have been carefully selected to stay in the training camp to the tiger head, who does this, and is more than any of us, and has an elite veteran who can add a battalion out of thin air...... Lao Yang, you will bring back the letter of appointment of the new battalion commander Li Tianen, the battalion deputy Liao Minlin, and the battalion deputy and instructor Ding Jianxin later, and the commanders of the following three companies will be discussed and reported by the three of them, and they will tell them that the division headquarters trusts them, and if there are any difficulties, the division headquarters will give priority to solving them. ”

An Yi agreed with Hu Zi's opinion and made additional suggestions to Yang Bin, with the aim of boosting the morale of the artillery battalion.

Yang Bin nodded: "Good idea, they are not what they used to be, their equipment strength and combat ability are by no means under the artillery regiments of other departments, it is time to give them some rewards." ”

The meeting ended here, after Hu Zi, Yang Bin and others said goodbye to Lao Dao, they hurriedly left and rushed to the front line, Lao Dao looked at these young people who didn't have time to eat dinner, sighed, and quietly said to An Yi: Your kid's life is really good, you can have the support of this group of loyal and shrewd subordinates, these young handsome men are all well-thought, dignified, if you don't grow up, you will delay the future of others!

An Yi was furious when he heard this, and laughed, looking very proud, but in fact, he was very skeptical that the old Taoist "Observation of People" and "Mind Observation Technique" were as powerful as he usually occasionally revealed.

Subsequently, An Yi and a group of brothers accompanied Lao Dao and his two nephews who were already lieutenant adjutants to dinner, two young people about twenty-four or five years old had clear faces, calm manners, humble and polite to everyone, elegant and calm, although wearing a lieutenant uniform, there was no recklessness at all, faintly revealing a calm and capable demeanor beyond his age, which made An Yi and Gu Changfeng secretly admire in their hearts.

After dinner, An Yi and Yin Jinan, Gu Changfeng and others accompanied Lao Dao to take a leisurely walk around the camp, and the refreshing spring breeze after the rain brought wisps of faint floral fragrance and refreshing grass and wood atmosphere, making people feel comfortable, comfortable and leisurely.

"Look, who's outside the camp gate?" The sharp-eyed Gu Changfeng showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and signaled to An Yi in a low voice.

An Yi looked up a little strangely, suddenly stopped, shook his head with a strange expression, whispered a few words to Lao Dao and Yin Jinan, and walked out of the gate with Gu Changfeng, saluted the sentry and stopped in front of the two beauties.

An Yi politely asked Feng Jieyun and Zhou Ruoting, who looked excited, "It's getting dark, do the two young ladies still have the leisure to go out for a walk?" ”

Feng Jieyun combed a strand of long hair that was blown by the wind, and replied in a low voice with a red face: "We...... We have come specifically to see the general. ”

"Huh!? Why didn't you report to the officers and soldiers at the door? Looks like you've been here for a long time! An Yi asked with a smile.

The flush on Feng Jieyun's face became even stronger, she opened her small mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while, Zhou Ruoting beside her glared at Gu Changfeng who was smiling with disgust, turned to An Yi, raised her white chin, and replied loudly and confidently: "Isn't it because of you?" Every time they meet, they want to avoid the plague god, and they send people away in a few words...... I've never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable general as you, rejecting people thousands of miles away, but the more you are like this, the more we will not give up, see who can hold on, hum! ”

An Yi and Gu Changfeng glanced at each other and smiled, obviously amused by Zhou Ruoting's unworldly children. Gu Changfeng stared at Zhou Ruoting's eyes and asked with a pleasant face:

"Miss Zhou, what do you say? Is it because we didn't agree to your enlistment? As you must know, the two days have been going on, and no unit will consider recruiting new recruits in this situation, not to mention that the two girls are so special, we don't dare to agree to it without the consent of your family...... Oh, by the way, why are the two of you still in Zhenjiang? Didn't President Pan say the night before yesterday that the two girls' families would soon come and pick you up and take you home? ”

Feng Jieyun spit out her pink little tongue and replied quite shyly: "Now all the railways have been blocked by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the passenger trains have also been temporarily requisitioned by the army to transport soldiers, and they cannot be restored in at least five days. I also heard that because of the war on this side of Zhenjiang, even the passenger boat has stopped, and our family can't come, and we can't go back. ”

An Yi then remembered this reason, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, this situation happened from time to time during the war, and it will be fine when the situation stabilizes in two days, is it because of this incident?" ”

Feng Jieyun shook his head and frowned slightly: "After the general ordered martial law in the whole city, we can't go anywhere, my uncle and aunt are very anxious when they see the situation so chaotic, especially after the arrest of Mr. Jiang Luming, the biggest industrialist in Zhenjiang City, my uncle is a lot haggard."

Ruoting and I discussed privately, thinking that it may be because of the arrest and house raid of Mr. Jiang Luming by the general's headquarters that my uncle, who is the richest man in Zhenjiang, is extremely worried about his personal and property safety, especially after learning that Mr. Jiang Luming was escorted to Nanjing for trial, my uncle was even more sad, and no matter how much my aunt and we explained, he could not let go of his worries. Therefore, we have come here to ask the general to deign to move to the humble house and enlighten him well, perhaps this will cheer him up and dispel his worries, otherwise the whole family will be restless. ”

"Oh...... So that's it! ”

An Yi and Gu Changfeng glanced at each other, and they knew what Pan Henian was worried about, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts: I knew it earlier, why bother in the first place? Now that he has the blood of his subordinates on his hands, it is even more difficult to easily put aside the relationship!

Although An Yi felt something, he didn't show anything on his face, turned to Feng Jieyun and explained kindly: "The two girls may have misunderstood, the investigation and punishment of Jiang Luming, a die-hard member of Sun Jun, was not decided by us, but personally sent by the Nanjing headquarters to deal with it, and we, as a local garrison, can only cooperate unconditionally."

Secondly, Jiang Luming had nothing to do with President Pan in this matter, Jiang Luming put aside Nuoda's family property, and brazenly acted as the annihilator of the warlord leader Sun Chuanfang, not only secretly hiding weapons and ammunition, but also sending people to quietly cross the river to the enemy many times to convey information such as the deployment of our army's troops, weapons and equipment, etc., resulting in the death and injury of more than 60 brothers in our department, and it was completely deserved to be investigated and punished.

As for Chairman Pan, during the period when our department was stationed in Zhenjiang, he took the lead in donating money and materials many times, and did not hesitate to fund the great cause of our Northern Expedition, which shows that he is an enlightened and rich gentleman who supports the revolution, and there is no need to worry about this at all! ”

Feng Jieyun nodded frequently, her face full of worry: "Yes! We all explained him in this way, but it didn't work at all, and my aunt was also very worried, in case Jiang Luming was in a hurry, talking nonsense and biting around, it was very likely that my uncle would also be implicated. If that's the case, that's a problem. ”

An Yi looked at Feng Jieyun's innocent beautiful face and the slight beads of sweat on his forehead, his heart fluttered, and then he raised his head to look at the night sky, and said casually with a thought:

"In this way, tomorrow I will go to Nanjing to report on official business, I can take the time to find the general minister in charge of this matter and inquire, and I will tell you when I come back, so it should be okay, right?"

Feng Jieyun nodded gratefully, opened her crystal beautiful eyes, and looked at An Yi affectionately:

"Thank you, General! If my uncle knew that the general was so helpful, he would be grateful, but ...... If the general can find time out of his busy schedule, the little girl still wants to ask the general to come over to the house to persuade her uncle in person, and the general's trip will be more effective than us saying ten thousand words. ”

"This ......"

An Yi looked at Feng Jieyun's expectant eyes and hesitated suddenly.

Gu Changfeng glanced at Zhou Ruoting, who was staring at him, and suggested with a smile: "I think let's just go for a trip, just across the street corner, not a few steps, since our army has been stationed in Zhenjiang, thanks to the enthusiastic care of President Pan and the people of Zhenjiang, everything has gone smoothly, and the military and the people are harmonious, which is very rare." Since President Pan has this concern now, it is also appropriate for us to appease him and make him feel relieved, right, Ruoting? ”

Zhou Ruoting faced Gu Changfeng's handsome and charming smile, and when she heard him call him so kind and natural, her heart beat wildly after being stunned, her face was flushed, and she looked at Gu Changfeng stupidly and didn't know what to do.

An Yi smiled when he saw this, and whispered to Feng Jieyun to let the two of them go back first, arrange a hello by himself, and then visit the door.

Feng Jieyun forcibly suppressed the joy in her heart, politely thanked and said goodbye, and then supported each other with Zhou Ruoting, who was trembling slightly with excitement, and left in a hurry with a shy demeanor.

"Tiger Head, you guy is so positive, you can't be a girl who likes someone else, right?"

Entering the gate, An Yi asked with a smile as he walked.

Gu Changfeng replied honestly: "Isn't this an obvious thing? Miss Zhou is dignified, enthusiastic and straightforward, her skin is better than snow, and she is charming, I have never seen such a charming girl, in contrast, although she does not have Miss Feng's luxury, but she is a little more smart, the two of them have their own merits, they are really the best in the flowers that can be met and not sought! ”

An Yi nodded in agreement, and said with sincere admiration:

"Miss Zhou is slim, graceful, goose egg face, high nose and big eyes, very charming, I suddenly think of a beauty named Fan Bingbing, no! Miss Zhou is beautiful, innocent and feminine, and her eyes are as clean as a clear blue spring in the high snow-capped mountains, which is better than the one surnamed Fan......"

"Who is Fan Bingbing? How come I've never heard you mention it? Gu Changfeng asked with interest.

An Yi was stunned for a while, shook his head and smiled: "I met in Guangzhou a long time ago, I heard that her ancestral home is Qingdao, Shandong, and she studied at a private girls' school in Shanghai, and now she has gone abroad to study, and it is estimated that she will not see her again in this life, hehe...... Let's go, don't ask, the girl in front of you is more worth cherishing than in your dreams, right? ”

"This is said to my heart, there is a way that flowers can be broken and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches! Haha......"
