Chapter 1110 Sweet Lychee (I)

At night, the sky is full of stars, and the bonfire on the banks of the Taluo River is blazing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The barracks of the 87th Brigade, located between two gentle slopes upstream of the ferry port on the east bank, was very lively, except for a few officers and men on duty, all the officers and men had a day off. The officers and men had a rare leisurely time, got a haircut, went shopping, and when they were tired of playing, they came back to enjoy the sumptuous meat and sweet wine. The sturdy table top, which was spliced together with logs, was piled up with various tropical fruits such as lychees, coconuts, mangoes, bananas, mountain lemons, and wild mountain peaches.

The wide stone platform on the bank of the clear river is like a natural one.

Gu Zhutong, Zeng Kuoqing and the four entourages had already taken off their stuffy military uniforms, wore a white shirt, sat cross-legged on the cool stone slabs, drank sweet wine with the generals and colonels of the An Jiajun, tasted the outstanding skills of the brothers of the 87th Brigade Special Service Battalion in barbecuing wild game, and comfortably bathed in the comfortable cool breeze of the southern country, under the bright stars and moon, listening to the murmuring of the river, only feeling comfortable and intoxicating, even the wind was mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers.

"What a great place! No wonder the virtuous brother did not hesitate to fight with the British for more than a year, but also to protect this hot land, and later decisively sent troops to occupy the territory on both sides of this river, which is worth a thousand dollars! Yesterday afternoon, Brother Yu and Mu Yi took a car on the way into Simao City, and saw the towering trees on both sides of the road, as well as the huge trunks and the big tree roots that a few people couldn't hold, they felt their eyes wide open and secretly surprised. I didn't expect to take a car all the way from the airport in the car today, only to know that the trees of Simao are very ordinary compared to the trees in this place, the giant trees here really stopped the foolish brother, the broad canopy is dense, dozens of meters wide, a tree has become a large towering dense forest, shocking! There are so many green bamboo and wildflowers, clear springs, and fertile land, which is thousands of miles away from the wild land in my impression! ”

Gu Zhutong put down his wine glass and sighed sincerely.

Zeng Kuoqing felt the same way: "If it weren't for the principal's order to come here and walk in person this time, I really didn't know that there was such a fairyland in the world, and I didn't know that in the eyes of the vast majority of Chinese people, the Yunnan-Burma region is full of miasma and beasts, there will be a charming scenery comparable to a fairyland. ”

When the generals and colonels of An Jiajun heard this, they all smiled proudly, and their eyes looked at An Yi a little more fanatically.

An Yi bit down on the last piece of fragrant wild venison on the bamboo skewer, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, then took out a handkerchief, and said with a smile while wiping his hands:

"There is one more thing that the two brothers don't know, most of the best Pu'er tea and southern Yunnan Maojian, which are popular in the whole country, are produced in Cheli, Fohai and other southern Yunnan regions, not in Simao and Ning'er, you can't think of it, right?"

Gu Zhutong and Zeng Guangqing were stunned for a moment, and even said unexpectedly, before they thought that the main production area was in the Simao and Ning'er regions, otherwise how could it be called Pu'er tea? An Yi said that although Simao and Ning'er have tea trees, but the output is not large, but these two places are important tea processing and trade distribution centers in southern Yunnan, in recent years to vigorously promote tea planting and has achieved initial results, from next year, southern Yunnan tea production is expected to increase by forty percent.

Gu Zhutong and Zeng Guangqing sighed after listening to it, and also realized that it was indeed not easy for An Yi to develop southern Yunnan in recent years.

An Yi then talked about the various ropes commonly used in the army about the agave plant sisal that provides high-quality fiber and can be found everywhere in southern Yunnan, and the bone-setting ointment, scald ointment and hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder that are in short supply from Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory and Xufu Pharmaceutical Factory, and talked about the precious Chinese medicinal materials that have huge reserves in southern Yunnan; From the Yuanjiang nickel mine to the Banhong silver mine, and finally pointed to the distant mountains and the bamboo trees on both sides of the gurgling stream, and sighed quietly:

“…… At a glance, here is full of high-quality pear wood, sandalwood and a variety of rare tree species that grow for a hundred years, not to mention any high-end furniture worth thousands of dollars, just our own shipbuilding industry and weapons industry, will benefit immensely, such a treasure land, how can it be handed over to the British?

"Although the early development of southern Yunnan cost me a huge amount of money, but since the beginning of this year, there has been a gradual return, among which the Lufang silver mining area that was fought for by force has the greatest harvest, only the output of the first eight months of this year, which is enough to support the economic development of the people of all ethnic groups in southern Yunnan. If we hadn't gritted our teeth and worked hard, how could there be today's booming southern Yunnan? How can there be so many emotions from the two brothers? ”

"Having said that, only Senior Brother An has this vision and ability when looking at the world, and others can only look at it and sigh. The country has been weak for a long time, and my generation is full of blood, and there is no way to sway it! Zeng Guangqing shook his head and sighed.

Gu Zhutong is much more realistic: "Brother Xian's words are very reasonable, Brother Fool admires it, and he also despises those soft-headed literati in the central government who are blind and afraid of foreigners like tigers, but I still want to ask Brother Xian, how much is the income of the opium trade in southern Yunnan for a year...... How? Can't tell us, or are you afraid we'll spread the word? ”

An Yi scolded with a smile: "Big brother, you have to learn from my senior brother Zeng, how elegant he is, where is he full of copper smell like you?" By the way, I heard that my eldest brother has been appointed as the director of the Sichuan camp, congratulations! In the future, you can take care of the little brother more, the little brother now has nothing but party membership and the rank of second-class general on the collar, and it seems that he will have to beg for food in the near future. ”

Xia Jian, Liu Qing, Dai Zhengliang and other generals tried their best to hold back their laughter, Gu Zhutong kicked An Yi very unceremoniously, and the generals couldn't help it, and finally laughed.

Zeng Kuoqing raised his hand after laughing, and looked at the time that it was not early, and there were still many things to discuss with An Yi, so he took advantage of the chaos to approach An Yi sideways and whispered, An Yi nodded, waved his hand to his brothers, and said with a smile:

"Brothers, go around the camp and have fun with the soldiers, going deep into the grassroots is a good tradition of our model camp, and it cannot be easily thrown away anytime and anywhere."

The generals knew that An Yi was going to talk to Gu Zhutong and the two of them about business, so they got up happily and said goodbye politely, and after a while, they walked cleanly, and only An Yi, Shen Fengdao, Gu Zhutong, and Zeng Guangqing were left sitting around the bonfire on the stone platform.

An Yi nodded to Lin Yaodong, the chief of the guard not far away, Lin Yaodong willingly left, and after a while, a radius of fifty meters around him became a heavily guarded isolation area.

Gu Zhutong looked at An Yi, who was smiling and silent, thought about it and simply said what he meant: "Xiao Yi, the principal asked if you want to get together with Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng?" If not, why are you so unreasonable to the central government? Why did you sell 25 new fighters to Gui Jun within a month? Also in frequent contact with Taiyuan and Dihua (now Urumqi)? The principal is very angry, knowing that your wings are stiff, and no one can do anything about you, I just hope that you can take care of the overall situation and not do anything that damages the party-state, so before leaving, he asked me to tell you, if you have any requirements, please say it directly, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, but you must not do the behavior of the relatives who are painful and the enemies are happy, and you must not separate one party from the party-state, otherwise, there will be nothing to talk about! ”

An Yi's eyes widened, and he smiled after a while: "Speaking of which, the two brothers came from thousands of miles to threaten me?" ”

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? Why don't you understand the headmaster's painstaking efforts? ”

Zeng Guangqing blamed An Yi dissatisfiedly, Gu Zhutong sneered and stopped talking.

An Yi shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You don't say that Wang Jingwei and his henchmen want to deprive me of my territory and steal the fruits of my years of hard work, why do you blame my little brother for my little belly?" It's hard to understand your thinking! But it doesn't matter, please tell the principal when the two brothers go back tomorrow, I An Yi is his student, fortunately, I was not expelled from the party and the army, so I am still a party member, even if I am nothing in the future, I will wholeheartedly support the three righteousness and pursue it for life, and will never be separated, stand on their own, and will not rebel with others, so the two of you should always rest assured, right? ”

Gu Zhutong and Zeng Kuoqing glanced at each other, but they didn't expect An Yi to answer so resolutely, and when they thought about it, they immediately found that something was wrong, An Yi's words were very resentful, and he had made up his mind, and he was uncompromising, obviously he had learned all the reasons for the plot this time, and he no longer trusted Chiang Kai-shek.

Gu Zhutong and Zeng Guangqing turned to An Yi together, looking at An Yi's face and eyes steadily.

An Yi peeled off a lychee, stuffed the fragrant and sweet crystal flesh into his mouth, and tasted it with relish: "This thing is good, it has just entered the harvest season, it seems that before the rainy season, I have to buy tens of thousands of young seedlings from Malaya, so that all the immigrants in the Cheli area can plant them, and after a few years, we will no longer need to import fresh fruits from southern Myanmar and Siam...... Hey, what are you looking at me for? If you want to eat it yourself, you don't want me to feed you, two big men, I don't have that hobby......"

Zeng Guangqing was so angry that he pointed at An Yi who didn't know what to say.

Gu Zhutong, who was leaning on the stone slab, kicked An Yi again: "You kid, don't change the topic, you want to fool us with a few clichés?" I ask you, what the hell do you think? If you still remember that we are from the same source and are all in the same vein as Whampoa, please tell me what you think in your heart, or the principal's words, nothing is non-negotiable. ”

An Yi slowly stood up, walked to the water's edge and washed his face, then took out the handkerchief and washed it, wrung out the water and wiped his face, while returning to the two of them and sitting down: "Two brothers, if you are in the position of the younger brother, what will you think?" And what to do? ”

Gu Zhutong and Zeng Guangqing were stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that An Yi was really very aggrieved, and all the grievances of the two disappeared for a while.
