On the sparkling stretch of Poyang Lake, Belgian merchant ships were guided south by the Third Army's last remaining surface guard steamboat.

On the steamboat, dozens of indignant officers and men stared ahead without saying a word, saying that the hatred of the warship that had brutally rammed and sunk the garrison boat, killing four brothers and wounding more than 10 others, could no longer be erased from the bottom of their hearts, and the thousands of grief-stricken officers and men of the Third Army stationed there were still salvaging and searching for the other three missing brothers at the mouth of the lake.

The Belgian merchant ship that followed was busy at the moment, Dr. Kreuzer and his accompanying colleagues were stitching up the wounds of the eleven wounded officers and soldiers who had been sent to the ship, straightening the broken bones, and more than 200 brothers with known blood types were lining up to ask the doctor to draw their own blood to supply the wounded soldiers who had just been sent to the ship, which moved the two foreign doctors who drew blood.

In order to avoid a recurrence of the disaster, Ding Zhicheng led his brothers to carry out a strict vigilance, and more than 1,000 brothers of An Yishi scattered around were full of anger and loneliness.

In the captain's room at the back of the big ship, Hans and Raute saw that Zhu Peide and the others seemed to have something to discuss, and after a brief conversation, they politely took their leave and went to the wheelhouse to chat with the captain.

Zhu Peide discussed with his commanders Jin Handing and Wang Jun in a low voice for a while, turned to Lao Dao and whispered a few words, Lao Dao nodded, and waited for the foreigner crew who brought coffee and boiling water to leave, and stroked his beard lightly, and whispered to An Yi beside him:

"From today on, you have to call Senior Zhu Uncle De, I have been obsessed with your Uncle De for a few days, and I can only act as a brother with a shy old face, and I will explain to you slowly after I go back......

Zhu Peide smiled heartily: "What's the point of saying it now? Virtuous nephew, your huge investment in the old Nanchang has caused a strong response from all walks of life, all the newspapers in Ninghu have been reporting for months, praised as the economic miracle of Nanchang, and placed high expectations, the people of Nanchang are even more praiseful to the virtuous nephew, respect and love, it can be said that the people of Nanchang are now much more stable and wealthy than the people all over the country.

In the past few months, I have been to the old Nanchang seven times for inspection and inspection, everywhere I went, a thriving scene, and therefore with your Uncle Dao from acquaintance to acquaintance, cherish each other, see each other late!

It is your Uncle Dao's Sandeng Treasure Palace, that you invited the rare Elder of the Longevity Palace, Songling Daochang, to move to the humble house, and it only took more than 40 days to cure the Neizi for many years, and my whole family and several generals and their families have also benefited immensely. ”

An Yi suddenly realized, quickly stood up and bent down deeply with the courtesy of a junior, and respectfully shouted "Uncle De", Zhu Peide was heartbroken, helped An Yi and asked him to sit down:

"The virtuous nephew is full of literature and martial arts, and his military exploits are impressive, and his uncle deserves to be cheap, haha!"

Jin Handing and Wang Jun on the side also echoed and laughed, Lao Dao calmly stroked his long hair, looked at the low cabin roof and said unhurriedly:

"Your Uncle De has always been supportive of your old Nanchang foundation, otherwise where would there be such a good situation today? Xiao Yi, you have to keep it in mind and don't live up to the ardent expectations of your parents and tens of millions of people. ”

"The juniors remembered." An Yi replied gratefully.

"Hey! Brother Dao, don't say this out-of-the-box, where is the little brother so capable? ”

Zhu Peide laughed, and then said: "It's still the virtuous nephew who treats people with sincerity and deep connections, the incident that suddenly happened in Nanchang at the beginning of the month, those communist friends were confused and wiped out one of my regiments, but they didn't commit any crime against the old Nanchangqiu, even the First Army Recruitment Office and the non-commissioned officer training base were unscathed, I have to admire the popularity of the virtuous nephew, now the people of old Nanchang are stable, all industries are prosperous, and my parents' official face is also a lot brighter!" ”

Lao Dao saw Zhu Peide signaling slightly, nodded and instructed An Yi: "Your Uncle De just came back quietly from Shanghai the night before yesterday, and he went to Shanghai to retain your Principal Jiang under the trust of several old friends, so he has already understood the front and back of your troops leading his troops north, and he is also indignant when he tells me about what happened to you.

Yesterday morning, your Uncle De suddenly received a joint telegram from Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng, and He Jingzhi, and wanted to recruit the Ninth Army under your Uncle De's command to rush to Nanjing to fight against Sun Chuanfang's troops. ”

"This must not happen!"

An Yi didn't wait for Zhu Peide to speak, and asserted his veto: "Uncle De, two generals, this matter is absolutely not feasible!" It is not that the little nephew has a grudge against Li Delin and others, but because of the current situation and the ubiquitous crisis. ”

"Virtuous nephew just speak out!"

Zhu Peide's eyes showed a look of anticipation, and Jin Handing and Wang Jun beside him also subconsciously sat closer to An Yi.

An Yi nodded: "Uncle De, the two generals, although the little nephew has lived in the Xiaguan camp for several years, but under the care of Chen Cheng, Cai Zhonghu, Mao Bingwen and other generals, he knows a little about the current situation, and the little nephew also has a sister named Gong Qian, who is currently working in the Second Bureau of the Central Party Department, and their understanding of the current situation is more timely and comprehensive, so the little nephew has also benefited a lot from the discussion of each day.

As everyone knows, after the commander-in-chief went into the wilderness, the five party veterans, Zhang Jingjiang, Hu Hanmin, Wu Zhihui, Cai Yuanpei, and Li Shizeng, then telegraphed the whole country and hung up their crowns.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang departments have nearly 100,000 troops, sitting on the front line of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Hangzhou in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and they are all opponents closest to the Sun army in Jiangbei, why don't Li Delin and others mobilize them?

Secondly, Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi, who were pressed by the army, publicly issued a mobilization order for the Eastern Expedition to Nanjing again three days ago, which shows that Commander-in-Chief Chiang was not the fundamental cause of Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi's Eastern Expedition at all, otherwise after Commander-in-Chief Chiang went into the wilderness, they would have withdrawn their troops.

Another important reason is that they saw that Li Delin had now drawn over and divided various factions within the party, successfully united the 'Xishan Conference faction' with profound political influence, and formed a new joint political axe, but instead pushed Tang Shengzhi and Wang Jingwei, who had made the greatest contribution to driving out Commander-in-Chief Chiang, to the edge, which was quite a bit of a cross the river and demolishing the bridge, so they aroused the anger of the two.

In this way, Li Delin's enemy is not only Sun Chuanfang, and the predecessors responded to the call of Li Delin and others at this sensitive moment to wave to Nanjing, even if the predecessors are open-minded and everything is focused on the great cause of the revolution, will the people of the world see it this way? ”

Zhu Peide and the two generals nodded frequently, thinking that it was true, and the old Tao also said that it was reasonable, who knew that An Yi would not stop, and continued:

"There is also a deep crisis hidden here, if Uncle De and the generals finally decide to reinforce Nanjing, Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi are likely to think that Uncle De has defected to Li De's neighbor camp, even if this is not the case, it will leave Tang Shengzhi with a handle and excuse to do evil, and the relationship between the two sides will become a relationship between the enemy and me after that!

As far as the little nephew knows, the various forces are all eyeing Jiujiang and Hukou fortresses, coveted for a long time, and now it is better to fall into the hands of Uncle De, because Uncle De is highly respected, loyal and honest, no one dares to fight Jiujiang and Hukou The idea is clear, and Uncle De can rely on these two fortresses and barriers to defend Nanchang and sit in Jiangxi.

But – having it now doesn't mean having it forever...... Please forgive the younger generation for being presumptuous, just take an analogy, if the little nephew is in the position of Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi, weighing the pros and cons and knowing that he can't shake Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng, who have military power in hand, the little nephew will definitely mobilize more than 70,000 troops of the three armies currently on the border of Hubei and Anhui on the first line of Jiangbei to turn around and go south, capture Jiujiang and Hukou in one fell swoop, and then go straight to Nanchang, and eliminate or drive away the third army left behind after Uncle De transferred away the Ninth Army with lightning speed. Occupy the important towns in Jiangxi as quickly as possible, and defend them accordingly, open up Ji'an and other places in western Jiangxi, and closely connect with the two lakes region that has already occupied a deep foundation, the south can peep into the two Guangzhou, cut off Li Delin's retreat and supply line, the north can unite Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan to live in harmony, and the west can deter the infighting Yunnan-Guichuan and unite the powerful factions among them, and finally fight with Li Delin, who is lonely in the southeast and has enemies on all sides.

The little nephew doesn't believe it, so there is no half of the country to rely on, and wait for a year or two to wait for the soldiers to be good and the food is sufficient, the situation is clear, and then hold high the banner of Mr. Zhongshan to win the Central Plains? ”

Zhu Peide and the others looked at An Yi who scolded Fang Yu blankly, only to feel that their hearts were about to stop, their spines were chilling, and they felt empowered.

Lao Shoudao's face was full of consternation, and then he kept sighing: "The son has been reborn after this great disaster, I am gratified!" Relieved......"

Zhu Peide wiped away the cold sweat on his head, slowly stood up, and held An Yi's hand tightly: "Virtuous nephew, how about succumbing to the chief of staff of our army's lieutenant general?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Yi, Brother Fool and Brother Deheng (Wang Junzi) each lead an army, and they are busy with military affairs, so it is difficult to share the burden of Pei Gong (Zhu Peide), so Xiao Yi will reluctantly make it difficult." Jin Handing also came forward to lobby.

An Yi was taken aback, and refused repeatedly: "Uncle De, general, don't scare me, the little nephew is talking nonsense, don't be surprised!"

To tell the truth, the little nephew is young and ignorant, and now he is mentally and physically exhausted, and he can only play lip service, where can he be in this big responsibility? One more ...... Another one, if the little nephew really entered Uncle De's army to serve, wouldn't Uncle De offend He Jingzhi and Bai Jiansheng because of this?

No, no, absolutely not! If Uncle De thinks that the little nephew can still make some effort, as long as it is useful to the little nephew, just make a phone call and give an order, and the little nephew will run barefoot even if he is barefoot in the middle of the night. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, Zhu Peide let go of his hand and sat down slowly, put away his smile and sighed loudly:

"Genius! The wise nephew is superb, what is the thing in the pool? Good, good! In that case, I won't force you, let me think about it......"

"Uncle De, don't think about it, you drink coffee."

An Yi picked up the coffee with both hands and sent it up, he was really worried about what Zhu Peide would propose again, now that Lao Dao has become his brother, in case Lao Dao nodded in confusion, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

Zhu Peide glared at An Yi unhappily: "I won't drink that thing, give me water...... That's it, anyway, your old Nanchang non-commissioned officer training base is also empty, your big family business must have some people to guard for you, I heard that the entire base is repaired at your own expense, since you don't want to join the army again, I will give you a number of security regiments, the number of people is determined by yourself, and it belongs to the local garrison under the jurisdiction of my political axe, so that all aspects are reasonable.

However, in return, you have to use your training model battalion to help me train non-commissioned officers and company platoon commanders in the 3rd and 9th Armies, and that's it, haha! What does Brother Dao think? ”

Lao Dao thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "Very thoughtful, it is indeed a very safe plan!" ”

An Yi was stunned, thinking that Lao Tzu became the head of the security regiment before he settled down, and this disgraced security captain still has to listen to you, all he said was kind words when he had no plan to get out just now, Uncle De, why are you so real?
