Chapter 1300 Pre-arrangement

The girl who had been talking happily with Ye Qing saw An Yi and stood up happily to say hello: "General An, I didn't expect to see you here." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

An Yi stepped forward and nodded to Ye Qing, then his eyes fell on the girl's thrillingly beautiful face, and he reproached slightly: "Miss Zhou, when you left Baoding last time, didn't you say that you would persuade Ziyu and your parents to leave Beiping when you went home?" Why are you still here? ”

Zhou Ziwei shook his head helplessly: "General An, it's not that we don't want to leave, but after returning to Beiping, we will be calculated and busy, and we don't have time or energy to think about other things." ”

An Yi was very surprised: "Is something wrong?" ”

Zhou Ziwei sighed: "It's very bad, *** people bought my grandfather's henchmen and added a drug to the sandalwood that my grandfather used daily to make people tired, and as a result, my grandfather was bedridden, and my mother and I had to get up early every day and rush to the assorted garden in Dongcheng to take care of the daily life of his old man, and I didn't even have time to go to school." At this time, our Zhou family's business was maliciously sabotage, and it was riddled with debts, so we could barely maintain it and not go bankrupt, but it was extremely difficult to redeem it. Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and in the second half of last month, the 29th Army and the Japanese army fought in Beiping City, and the rebels set fire to the mouth of the Assorted Garden Hutong and burned down several houses. After living in our Zhou family, my grandfather's health unexpectedly improved, and then the spy said goodbye without saying goodbye, and we gradually figured out the cause and effect of the incident. ”

"Oh? Who is so daring? "The most hated thing in An Yi's life is the traitor *** thief, after listening to Zhou Ziwei's words, he asked angrily.

"Alas, it's sad to talk about this......" Zhou Ziwei sighed and said quietly: "The right-hand man who has followed my grandfather for many years feels that my grandfather has no hope of making a comeback, so he has other thoughts and seeks his own interests by betraying my grandfather." Secretary-General Chen Tingjie, whom my grandfather relied on deeply, led the matter, and it is said that the chief of staff, Zhang Fangyan, was also involved. What is especially unbelievable is that my second mother-in-law also quietly accepted gifts from *** people! ”

Zhou Ziwei's mother, born to Wu Peifu's original partner Li, due to the early death of the Li family, was not treated by Wu Peifu's second wife Zhang Peilan, and was allowed to Zhou Huaili, the second son of the Zhou family of the Beiping merchant family, Zhou Huairen, the eldest son of the Zhou family, married the fourth sister of Lu Bicheng, this is the relationship between the entire Wu, Zhou, and Lu families.

An Yi never thought that Wu Peifu, who was once famous, would have reached the point of betraying his relatives, if it weren't for the help of his eldest daughter and granddaughter who married into the Zhou family, the situation was unimaginable.

At this time, no one noticed that an old man with a bloated body, wearing a robe and a horse coat, and two thick beards under his nose, walked into the room with slow figure-eight steps. Listening to Zhou Ziwei's words, the old man shook his head and sighed: "I'm ashamed, I think of my Wu Ziyu Rongma all my life, and when I get old, I will be surrounded by Xiaoxiao, if I didn't want to see the day when the mountains and rivers are recovered, I would have already lost this stump and cut off the thoughts of *** people!" ”

An Yi turned his head in surprise, and Zhou Ziwei stood up in a panic and called "Grandpa".

"Why did Brother Ziyu say this? Under the painstaking efforts of the *** people, Brother Ziyu is still clean and self-conscious, and the world admires him. This time, our army is assembled, and the Japanese invaders will be driven out of North China in a few days, Brother Ziyu should exert his influence and assist Song Yun in carrying out his work, why such world-weary words? Cheng Qian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

An Yi already understood at this time that the old man in front of him, who was not good-looking, was Wu Peifu, a famous Beiyang general who had been dominant, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:

"Yushuai, junior An Yi greets you. The predecessors commanded the army for decades, ruled several provinces, and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but they had no private savings, no land, and the name of honesty was known all over the world. What is especially admirable is that the predecessors always adhere to the national integrity and do not take refuge in the *** people as traitors. ”

"You are An Yi, the commander of the An Family Army who made *** people cry and howl wolves!?" After Wu Peifu finished speaking, he looked at An Yi for a while, and nodded again and again: "I often hear about An Jiajun's prestige on weekdays, and I always feel that the flowers are hazy in the fog, but when I see General An himself today, I know that it really deserves its reputation." When Ziyu was born, his father dreamed of Qi Dashuai, a famous anti-Japanese general, because Qi Shuai was called Peiyu, so he named Ziyu Peifu, hoping that Ziyu could be like Qi Shuai, a person worthy of the country and the nation. General An, although Ziyu has been in the crossroads for a while, he has never made achievements in foreign wars, but you have done what Ziyu wanted to do but did not do, Ziyu is deeply admired! ”

An Yi didn't expect Wu Peifu's name to have this origin, just wanted to be modest, Zhou Ziwei lowered his head, obediently walked to Wu Peifu's side, carefully supported his grandfather, and said timidly: "Grandpa, I shouldn't ...... it"

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! I, Wu Ziyu, am bright and fair, and my family ugliness is not afraid of publicity! Whoever wants to be a traitor, no matter who he is, is my Wu Ziyu's enemy! Wu Peifu patted Zhou Ziwei's slender jade hand to show comfort: "Ziwei, General An is an extraordinary person, he predicted that the Japanese army would move on the front line of Pingjin more than half a year ago, and took the initiative to persuade his grandfather and his family to go south. ”

"Oh? Brother An had already predicted last year that there would be a war between China and Japan in North China? ”

Cheng Qian asked with interest. At this time, Cheng Qian's heart was quite suspicious, and he secretly speculated that there was some secret between An Yi and Wu Peifu that was not known to outsiders.

For a long time, the Nanjing government was well aware of the ability and influence of Wu Peifu, Jin Yunpeng, and Cao Rulin, the old Beiyang people, but it could not simply adopt the method of killing them all, which would lose the hearts of many people.

This time the theater headquarters moved to Beiping, and Cheng Qian urgently needed a military general to give him advice, so he invited Wu Peifu, but he was still afraid of what Chiang Kai-shek would think of this matter, and at this moment he suddenly found that there seemed to be some kind of connection between Wu Peifu and An Yi, and he couldn't help but have a little more doubts.

An Yi explained: "This is not only my personal opinion, but also General Cixiu and General Geng Guang also hold the same opinion. At the end of last year, I was introduced to Miss Zhou, and I happened to hear about her relationship with Yushuai, in order to avoid harassment by *** people, so I put forward a proposal to let Yushuai's family move west to Xufu. ”

Cheng Qian nodded clearly, but at this time, Wu Peifu said to Cheng Qian with a solemn face: "Brother Songyun, how is the matter I asked you to do?" ”

"Brother Ziyu, now that the *** team in North China has won successive battles, why would you hurriedly arrange for the people around you to go south? Could it be that you are not optimistic about the current war situation? ”

Wu Peifu hesitated for a moment, glanced at An Yi, and shook his head: "The situation is chaotic, it's always good to be careful." I was invited by you to take my family and entourage to stay in Xiangluan Pavilion, two days ago I heard the visiting Ms. Biyun talk about the tragic incident that happened in the Meihua Nunnery, and I was shocked into a cold sweat. The Japanese invaders do all kinds of evil, and they don't even let go of the monks, and they are really inferior to beasts. In this case, how can I rest assured that my loved ones are in such a dangerous place? ”

An Yi saw that Zhou Ziwei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he looked like he wanted to cry, knowing that it might be another bloody case caused by the Japanese army after Wancheng had *** against my civilians, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the plum blossom hermitage?" What's going on? ”

Hu Jialin, Shen Fengdao, Lin Yaodong and others surrounded them, and Cheng Qian and the generals of the theater headquarters also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Zhou Ziwei's delicate body trembled slightly, obviously frightened. Wu Peifu patted her back comfortingly, and then said, "The Plum Blossom Nunnery is located in the foothills of the north of Changping City and the south of Tianchi, and it is a nunnery with more than fifty bhikshunis practicing in the mountains. After Bicheng took refuge in the Three Jewels, his Dharma name was Manzhi, and he led the practice in the Plum Blossom Nunnery. At the beginning of July, the situation was unstable, and the presiding officer persuaded Bicheng to temporarily return to Beiping to practice, and wait for the situation to improve before returning.

After the battles of Nankou and Wanping, the situation around Beiping became clearer, and Bicheng returned to Meihuaan, only to find that it had been burned. Bicheng was anxious, and finally in a dry well behind the nunnery, found several bhikshunis who were dying and devastated, the Japanese invaders were sad and crazy, after occupying Changping, because the people from near and far fled empty, the Japanese army *** could not vent, I don't know how to find the plum blossom nunnery, and the unarmed more than 50 monks did the beast thing, and later in order to cover up their crimes, the nunnery was surrounded again, put a fire, many masters rushed out of the fire, and were pushed back by the Japanese army, until they were burned alive. Only a few masters jumped into the abandoned dry well, and the stone slab that collapsed happened to block the wellhead, so they survived.

"I've heard that many *** people also believe in Buddhism, but I didn't expect them to even let go of their monks, and it's even more difficult to imagine what ordinary people are. To say that I still had a glimmer of hope for *** people before, after this incident, I have completely awakened to the fact that there is no possibility of reconciliation between China and Japan without distinguishing between life and death! Even if I, Wu Ziyu, fight this old bone, I won't let the Japanese occupy an inch of my rivers and mountains...... You can imagine what kind of life the people of Northeast China have lived after nearly six years of occupation? ”

Everyone was very indignant at the atrocities of the Japanese army, and they all understood Wu Peifu's intention of insisting on sending the female dependents away.

As early as when Wu Peifu explained, Ye Qing took out a pen and paper to record this tragic story, after Wu Peifu finished speaking, she came to Zhou Ziwei's side, gently took her into her arms, and after comforting her, she leaned into Zhou Ziwei's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ziwei, can I interview Ms. Lu Bicheng?" ”

Zhou Ziwei raised her head and glanced at Ye Qing, with a painful expression: "My third aunt suddenly encountered such a tragic accident, and her spirit was almost broken, I don't want her to be stimulated anymore." ”

Ye Qing smiled, not reluctantly, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must make this matter clear and complain to the people of the whole country about the crimes of the Japanese army.

Wu Peifu looked up and sighed: "The country is poor and weak, the people are suffering, now I regret what I did back then, if the country is united, why ......"

Cheng Qian interrupted Wu Peifu's words: "Brother Ziyu, now that the Japanese army has been driven out of Beiping by our North China army, once the eastern Hebei is recovered, it will be able to ensure the safety of Pingjin in a few years." Your family's business is on me, but it's getting late now, so we'll go to dinner for the time being and we'll talk about it later. It is estimated that the Purple Light Pavilion can't wait at this time. ”

After speaking, Cheng Qian took Wu Peifu's hand and took the lead out of the house.

On the way to Ziguang Pavilion, because it was late and he could not enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhongnanhai, An Yi simply got together with Hu Jialin to discuss the issue of setting up various departments of the group army headquarters.

At present, the stalls of the Anjia Army are too open, southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, Yichang, and Hanzhong all need people, the Second Route Army and the Fifth Army have their own headquarters, plus each army and division, and the fourth hall that must be in hand, it can be said that the use of talents has reached the extreme. Therefore, we must also give careful consideration to the question of whether or not to set up departments directly under the First Army.

"We have a lot of talent, and if we can let it go, we are not afraid that no one will be available. However, in doing so, it will break the promotion system that we have originally formulated, and it will be detrimental to the regularization of the army. However, if we vacate so many official posts, it will be too extravagant and wasteful, and it will not be conducive to raising the enthusiasm of the officers and men. Hu Jialin said with a broken head.

"The key is to see how to select talents. Perhaps we can adopt the method of voluntary registration, select a group of talents from among the middle-level officers, and fill them in leadership positions. Jade is not sharpened, didn't we go all the way from a small company platoon commander to today? We need to create an opportunity for them to use their talents. Look at the northbound detachment, aren't they doing a good job? If they were to be promoted normally, it is estimated that at their age, they would never have the opportunity to have tens of thousands of troops today. An Yi thought for a while.

"But what if the backbone of each department is transferred away and the combat effectiveness decreases?" Hu Jialin said worriedly.

"It's very simple, continue to use merit-based selection. After several major battles, I believe that a large number of grassroots company and platoon commanders with outstanding performance have emerged in all departments of the 17 th Army, and at this time, the promotion of a group of people will not only boost morale, but also enable the officers and men to see the direction of their efforts. ”

"Okay, while Lu Yixuan and they rushed to Beiping tonight, let's discuss it and come up with a charter. It's better to move faster, I think a big battle is already beckoning us. ”

An Yi responded, and suddenly felt that people were stopping, and when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at his destination, Cheng Qianzheng was standing at the door with a smile, beckoning everyone to enter.

In the wide banquet hall, there were six tables, An Yi casually found a seat and sat down, Ye Qing's face was crimson, and he pretended to sit down next to him on his left hand side as if nothing happened, An Yi just wanted to call Hu Jialin, but Zhou Ziwei came uninvited, and sat down on An Yi's right hand, so he had to give up at the moment.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, after toasting one after another, the hot dishes were served one after another, successively served with braised sea cucumber with green onions, *** roast duck, chicken soup fish rolls, roast mutton, tomato waist willow, simmered coconut white, rock sugar meat, jade soup, stewed duck four treasures and other dishes, and also served the familiar kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork and other dishes, as well as snacks such as small nest head and pea yellow, plus eight cold dishes that had been put on the table before, which showed that Cheng Qian spent a lot of thought.

At this time, Zhou Ziwei had already adjusted her mood and said to An Yi: "General An, don't you think it's a coincidence, we met three times, all before dinner, are we so close to eating?" ”

Ye Qing twisted An Yi under the table, smiled like a flower, and responded for An Yi: "This is normal, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Now ordinary people, two meals a day, a small number of military and rich families eat three meals, what they have to do every day, they meet each other, there is nothing to talk about, don't you say? Xiao Yi? ”

An Yi was stunned, didn't the two girls get along well just now? When is it right?
