In mid-September, the weather in Chengdu gradually cools down, and you can usually enjoy a gentle night breeze and a clean starry sky every night.

Since Yi Zhenying returned safely with her son at the end of July, the Xiao family compound has resumed its usual liveliness, and the two young ladies of the Bao family and Ma Gang's sisters who live next door come to tease the two cute little ones almost every night.

Xiao Yimin's love for his wife has long spread all over the world, no matter how busy he is, as long as Xiao Yimin is in Chengdu, there are always one or two nights a week to spend time with his wife and children, and when the interest comes, he and his wife take out musical instruments to entertain themselves, and at the same time begin to guide and cultivate the music interest of the eldest son Xiao Nanzheng.

Whenever the couple's ensemble music sounds, the young people and children in the neighborhood will come to hear the wind, appreciate and look forward to getting guidance, usually applause, laughter, in recent years, many beautiful tunes that have swept Bashu have spread from here.

On the weekend, the main hall of the Xiao family compound has gradually become a music salon, and the deputy general manager and director of the research institute of Huaxi Industrial Corporation, Max, the ballistics expert Fryer, and other German music lovers and their wives gathered together, and the newly purchased Swiss piano and American orchestral instruments have a place to use. Xiao Yimin is usually invited to play guitar in small bands, or sit behind a drum kit he designs, beating beautiful rhythms.

The weekend music salon in the Xiao family compound was originally the joy that Xiao Yimin brought to his wife and children, but in the past two months, it has become more and more famous, and it has slowly evolved into an important social gathering, and only a handful of people have no choice but to get invited, and the participants are either relatives and friends or friends.

There was an exception for the first weekend party in mid-September, when two guests in suits arrived uninvited, and at the request of relatives and friends in the hall, Xiao Yimin, who was just about to perform a song with his wife on the guitar and the flute, received the report, immediately put down the guitar, apologized to everyone, strode out of the main hall to welcome the door, and personally welcomed the two uninvited guests to the main hall.

Zhang Lan, who was communicating leisurely in the main hall, was very surprised to see the visitors, showed a smile and shouted "Brother Pale", and strode up to meet him.

Yang Shukan and Liu Bingxian met everyone first, and then teased Xiao Yimin's two children, and then they were taken away by everyone to reminisce, Liu Bingxian, who had served in the military academy for nearly a year and was very familiar with Max and other German friends, toasted with everyone, greeted them one by one, and stayed for half an hour before leaving the venue with Xiao Yimin.

The two refused to be accompanied by the guards, took bottles of wine and wine glasses and went up to the balcony on the second floor, sat down and went straight to the point.

"Fifty? So much? Xiao Yimin was very surprised after listening to Liu Bingxian's words.

Liu Bingxian picked up the wine glass and poured a big sip, praised the sweetness of the famous Scottish wine, bared his teeth, and rolled his eyes: "The fifty people I brought are all revolutionary young people with a solid foundation, basically Zhejiang Junjie personally selected by Brother Kai-shek, are you embarrassed to refuse?" ”

Xiao Yimin was stunned for a moment, feeling emotion in his heart, but there was no longer any doubt on his lips:

"Fifty is fifty, just start a separate class, and you can graduate with a one-year special training and special education, don't you also hope for this in your previous two calls?"

"No, we have changed our minds, after thinking about it repeatedly, Brother Kai-shek and I thought it would be better to separate these fifty people into various majors to study, these people are very young, the oldest is not more than twenty-five years old, let them study for three years, and learn real things in a solid manner.

"Brother Kai-shek and I agreed that being able to enter the Sichuan Military Academy for further study is far more than Dongdu Yueben, and Mr. Zhongshan and several party elders who know about it also have high hopes for this group of people, you must not favor one over the other." Liu Bingxian said solemnly.

"In that case, why don't you just set up your own military academy?" Xiao Yimin said tentatively.

Liu Bingxian sighed:

"You think we don't want to? But now that the revolutionary situation is so grim and the struggle is so cruel, where do you let us go to run a military academy? At the beginning of the year, my friend helped Mr. Zhongshan 700,000 yuan, and you asked Ma Gang to bring me 200,000 yuan, all of which were spent on the weapons and ammunition of the Shandong Revolutionary Army. If I hadn't kept more than 10,000 yuan on my body, I am afraid that Mr. Zhongshan and I would have had a problem eating in Shanghai in the past few months. ”

Xiao Yimin looked at Liu Bingxian suspiciously:

"Not really, right? Mr. Zhongshan's father-in-law's family is rich and rivals the country, and a baby daughter who is like a flower is willing to marry Mr., won't she continue to help? How to say that it is also a long-term investment of the Song family! And you, why don't you go to the office of the public concession to find Xiao Zhen if you don't have money? If Xiao Zhen is not there, you can still go to the French Concession Newspaper to find me Senior Brother Xu to solve the problem In addition, the house given to you and Kai-shek has not been lived in, do you have to draw a line with me, a big warlord? ”

Liu Bingxian was moved and annoyed, stared at Xiao Yimin for a long time, and finally sighed weakly:

"Third brother, I don't want to say thank you to you, don't I know your heart? But I can't always reach out to you! The revolution is not a matter for one person, it is the duty and obligation of all revolutionaries, and there are many wealthy people in our party, but those people are shaken, and I believe that the situation will soon change. This time, Brother Kai-shek and I cheekily sent fifty people, and our hearts were already very uncomfortable, if we reached out to you again, what would we become? ”

Xiao Yimin shook his head: "Revolutionaries are really different!" Ha ha...... I said, second brother, don't be angry, your current revolution is just fooling around, Fujian is not peaceful, Guangdong is not stable, you don't even have a small place to live, you want to use Yuan Dashuai's death to settle the world in one fell swoop, don't you feel naïve?

"Besides, where is Mr. Sun's roots? Where is the current place for him to stand in China? Only Guangdong! Chen Jiongming is good, dare to fight, dare to fight, brave and strategic, plus Li Liejun returned to northern Guangdong to gather the scattered old subordinates and the eastward march of the Yunnan army, and also fought well, driving Long Jiguang out of the Zhaoqing and Shaoguan areas, the warlords of all walks of life in Guangdong were basically suppressed by your two people, Mr. If you don't return to Guangdong to preside over the overall situation at this time, what are you still tossing in Shanghai?

"Listen to me, hurry back to Guangdong, seize the military power and seize the army, and then slowly control the rich tax power in Guangdong, what else can you do then?"

Liu Bingxian admired: "You're right, Sir has realized his mistake and no longer has illusions about those revolutionary speculators, before I left Shanghai, Sir had already announced the adjustment of the direction of the revolution at the core meeting, and he would soon move the center of the revolution to Guangdong." I have an important task to come this time, and I have to ask for your help, otherwise I won't be able to do it, and I won't have the face to go back to see my husband. ”

"If there's anything I can help you say, do we need to be polite between brothers?" Xiao Yimin said impatiently.

Liu Bingxian put down the wine glass, grabbed the wine bottle and poured wine for Xiao Yimin, seeing that Xiao Yimin wanted to grab the wine bottle, he pushed Xiao Yimin's hand away, finished pouring the wine, and said solemnly:

"Third brother, I want to bring the first garrison regiment under my command to Guangdong, and at the same time I want to recruit one more regiment of soldiers to take away you know, I have achieved nothing since I graduated, and my ambitions cannot be realized, so give me a chance, and finally help me this time, okay?"

Xiao Yimin was stunned for a long time: "It's not that it can't be done, but I'm afraid you can't do it!" After you left, Senior Brother Xie Mingyang succeeded as the commander of the Yucheng garrison, after taking office, he reported to the headquarters for approval, and immediately carried out a major adjustment, the headquarters transferred a large number of middle and low-level officers from Yucheng in the garrison force to the Chengdu Garrison Command, and transferred a group of officers from the Ya'an Base Guard Regiment and the headquarters to Yucheng, thus completely cutting off the connection between the gangs in the Yucheng garrison and the local community, Senior Brother Xie quickly managed Yucheng in an orderly manner, your original old subordinates were transferred away, and the retired ones were retired, I just how to support you, You can't pull a team! ”

Liu Bingxian was very depressed after being surprised, and stomped his feet in remorse:

"What should I do? What to do? I boasted in front of my husband and Brother Kai-shek! How did it come to this? This Xie Mingyang is too fucking fucking! ”

Xiao Yimin smiled: "Second brother, don't worry, do you think this is good?" Try your best to contact the officers and soldiers under the command of the old people, as long as they are willing to go with you, no matter where they are now, I will let them go immediately without saying a word. ”

Liu Bingxian's eyes lit up: "This is a good way, but I'm afraid there are not enough people!" ”

Xiao Yimin waved his hand: "Don't worry, I suggest that you recruit another batch of people from the retired officers and soldiers, in the first half of the year, our army was reorganized and disarmed, and as many as 35,000 people were directly retired, of which 15,000 officers and soldiers have been transferred to the border army, and the remaining 20,000 people have either arranged work with political axes or returned to their hometowns to farm, but a regiment is recruited from it, I don't think it is a big problem."

"These people are all veterans of the Sichuan-Yunnan War or the Wanxian War, and their military experience is generally more than three years. It's just that after these people are recalled, I'm afraid you will have to train yourself for two or three months, if you don't want to, just recruit some new recruits, I will let the Phoenix Mountain battalion out for you to use, the instructors are not enough, you can borrow a batch from the military academy. ”

Liu Bingxian's spirits were lifted: "Good way!" Third brother, how can you let me thank you? ”

"Again, isn't it? Said you were my second brother? In this way, the modern army cannot do without sappers and baggage soldiers, I will draw a battalion from the engineering corps for you, you also know that nearly a quarter of the engineering corps comes from the helpless Henan and Shaanxi refugees, these people have nothing to worry about, if you use it well, you can definitely become your children's soldiers, I don't know what you think? Xiao Yimin thought very thoughtfully for Liu Bingxian.

Liu Bingxian's nose was sour under the emotion, he couldn't say a word, he took the wine glass and drank it all, coughed twice to wipe away the hot tears overflowing in his eyes, and finally couldn't suppress the churning emotion, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Yimin's hand and burst into tears:

"Yiming, I can't repay your love in this life, but I still have to say, marry my little sister home, when I went to Yucheng's house, the two elders asked me why it took me so long to come back? I had the courage to tell the two elders, the reason why I rushed back was specifically for the marriage of the little sister, I lied and said that you were going to marry the little sister...... "It is estimated that the two elders and relatives and friends will come to Chengdu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I know that this is not good for you, but I can't help it, Yiming, the little sister has become a big heart disease of our Liu family, and there are rumors everywhere in Yucheng that the little sister married you, if it is not like this in the end, how do you let me and the two old men behave......"

Xiao Yimin was stunned and wanted to withdraw his hand, but was tightly grasped by Liu Bingxian, who was bleeding with snot and tears, Xiao Yimin never thought that he had just given Liu Bingxian a delaying plan, Liu Bingxian immediately returned the color, and the extremely crazy Xiao Yimin could only look up at the starry sky in vain, gritting his teeth and squeezing out two words: "I rely on ......"
