Seeing that his son was so excited, Master Gong was a little confused, "What May Fourth, what senior?" ”

Gong Zijun said: "Dad, do you remember when I was in middle school, I once burned all the Japanese goods at home?" ”

"Remember, why don't you remember, you loser." Master Gong said.

"That's the May Fourth Movement, swear to fight to the death, return me to Qingdao! Four years have passed, and I still seem to be reverberating with those deafening slogans, May Fourth youth, awakening this sleeping country and awakening this numb nation! Gong Zijun clenched his fists with both hands, tears in his eyes, and he was already emotional.

Chen Zikun patted him on the shoulder: "The scholarly spirit can't save the country after all, but without the scholarly spirit, the country is hopeless." ”

Gong Zijun nodded vigorously: "What the predecessor said is very true, I heard that you used to be a student of Peking University, why did you become a military envoy?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, can't college students join the army?" ”

Gong Zijun said: "That's right, I also want to follow Ban Chao, no, follow the example of your predecessors, throw your pen and serve the country." ”

Although Master Gong didn't know what his son and Lord Chen were talking about, seeing how hot they were talking, his hanging heart finally put back in his stomach and greeted: "Serve tea, what are you doing in a daze, Zijun, you greet Lord Chen well." ”

Gong Zijun sat next to Chen Zikun and eagerly discussed the issue of joining the army with him: "Protector, I want to join the army, can you give me some advice?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Joining the army is very simple, such as today's turmoil, there are banners of recruiting soldiers everywhere, but I think you must first figure out that the purpose of joining the army is to be promoted to become rich, or to mix a bowl of rice, or to spill blood for the nation and the country." ”

Gong Zijun said: "Of course it's the latter, it's my ideal to be loyal to the country." ”

"Very good, then, there are several paths in front of you, one is to enlist directly in the army as a soldier, with your academic qualifications, it is not a problem to be a major staff officer, and the other way is to apply for a military academy, Baoding Army Lecture Hall and the like for a period of time, and you will be a military commander when you come out."

"I can't wait, I want to enlist in the army directly, Lord Chen, do you know Wu Dashuai, I want to be a staff officer in the third division."

Chen Zikun laughed: "Why don't you know, I came out of the Third Division, Wu Dashuai recreated me with kindness, and my adjutant Ma Ben are all old men of the Third Division, don't believe you ask them." ”

Gong Zijun was surprised: "Lord Chen turned out to be from the Third Division, you are at least a brigade commander under Wu Dashuai, right?" ”

Chen Zikun laughed, turned around and said, "Adjutant Zhao, tell him, what is my role in the Third Division?" ”

The father and son of the Gong family were secretly surprised, could it be that Chen Zikun's official son was older than the brigade commander?

Adjutant Zhao said triumphantly: "Our army envoy was originally a man in the division headquarters of the Third Division, specializing in chopping firewood, fetching water and steaming steamed buns. ”

The father and son of the Gong family were shocked, Lord Chen was also a student of Peking University, a pioneer of the revolution, how could he deign to be a man, but they quickly understood, this is the level, Lord Chen has lofty intentions, and is willing to start from the lowest level of soldiers, and endure hardships in the middle, so that he can become a master, Lord Chen, a master.

Gong Zijun was ashamed and said: "A hero like Lord Chen started as a partner, and I still want to be a staff officer, I'm really ashamed, I'm ashamed, I also want to start as a partner." ”

Chen Zikun said: "You can't generalize, what did Young Master Gong major in college?" ”

Gong Zijun said: "I studied in the Department of Economics of Jiangdong University, and I learned how to make money.

Chen Zikun said: "This is a mistake, without strong economic strength, how to raise troops, how to purchase ordnance, economy and military are the two legs of the country, and one is indispensable. ”

Gong Zijun couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "Lord Chen, what you said is so right!" ”

Master Gong twisted his beard and smiled, his son, since he was sent to the provincial capital to study at the age of fifteen, he has become a wild horse, no one can control him, and he is usually even more eye-catching, and there is no one he can afford in the county, and now there is finally someone he admires.

"Master Chen, the dog is not sensible, and the nonsense makes you laugh." Gong Jiaxuan interjected at the right time and talked about current affairs, although he was in a remote county town and had no newspapers and magazines to read, but out of the instinct of a squire, he still had some understanding of the national situation, knowing that the president had abdicated, and now there was no head of state in the country, and the most powerful person in the country was Wu Peifu.

This kind of topic, Chen Zikun is naturally at ease, and he talked about it very casually, so that the father and son of the Gong family gradually understood that the origin of this military envoy is not ordinary, Xiong Xiling is his old friend, Wu Peifu is his mentor, the professor of Peking University is his friend, the deputy minister of the government is his buddy, and Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of the Fengjun, is his brother, this master, his hands and eyes are open to the sky!

Suddenly, Gong Zijun coughed dryly and said: "The old man has a reluctant request, since the dog wants to join the army, why bother to seek the near and far, it is better to be a servant in the military envoy's office." ”

Gong Zijun was very surprised, how could his father be so enlightened today, and actually offered to let himself join the army, and he followed the legendary Chen Dashuai to join the army.

Chen Zikun laughed: "Master Gong opened Chrysostom, naturally there is no problem, but the orderly soldiers are exempted, be a senior staff, I am short of talents in charge of the economy." ”

"That's great, thank you Lord Chen." As Gong Jiaxuan spoke, he glanced at the housekeeper, who understood and went quietly.

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for making it happen." Gong Zijun couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was very satisfied with being able to work as an errand under the May Fourth seniors.

After a little more talking, the butler came with two servants, holding trays of silk in them.

"Master Gong, what does this mean?" Chan pretended to be surprised.

"It's a little meaning, in the countryside, there is nothing to do, please ask Lord Chen to laugh." Gong Jiaxuan said.

Chen Zikun pretended to excuse himself for a while, but let the guards take over, and said, "Actually, there is something I want to trouble Master Gong." ”

"Please speak, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk."

"Hehe, I want to ask Master Gong to help find a few loyal and reliable maids and old mothers, no one in the back house will serve you."

Gong Jiaxuan smiled: "What should I do, there are not many others in Nantai County, but there are many diligent old mothers, and this matter is on me." ”

"Then thank you Master Gong, it's not too early, it's time for us to leave." Chen Zikun got up and wanted to leave.

"How can this work, stay and eat, it's all arranged." As soon as Master Gong made a look, Gong Zijun stepped forward and pulled Chen Zikun and said why not let him go, and Chen Zikun pushed the boat down the river and stayed.

The Gong family has indeed arranged a banquet, with a dazzling array of chickens, ducks and fish, and even the twelve guards are also stained, and there is a big meal of wine and meat.

……

An hour ago, Tuan Ding Fei reported to Xia Dalong, and the escort army made a group of people enter the house of Master Gong in the west of the city, Xia Dalong's face was a little unsightly, he swaggered through the city from my door, but he didn't come in to say hello, that's it, turned his face and entered the home surnamed Gong, isn't this sincere to me ugly, who in Nantai County doesn't know that my surname Xia is the boss, I don't believe you Chen Zikun doesn't know.

An hour later, the group members who were squatting near Gong's house came to report again that the Gong family had ordered two good tables from the Drunken Immortal Residence and sent them over, presumably to keep the guests for dinner.

Xia Dalong was even more annoyed, walking around the courtyard, and the two iron galls turned quickly.

Qiu Fuzhao came again, nodded and bowed: "Master, there is something important to report." ”

"Say!" Xia Dalong was obviously in a bad mood.

"Master, I just invited Platoon Commander Li of the Protector Embassy Office to dinner, and I got a shocking story, and it scared people to death when I said it......" Commander Qiu was triumphant and mysterious.

"Say it quickly, don't sell it!" Xia Dalong roared angrily.

"Yes! There were no soldiers at all in the Protector Embassy Office, and that company was lent to him by the guard envoy of Xu Haizhen, and there were a total of three soldiers under Chen Dashuai, an adjutant, and a chief of staff. ”

"Seriously!"

"The little one who vouches for his life will never be fake."

"Hahahaha, it turned out to be a bare-rod commander." Xia Dalong looked up to the sky and smiled, and the tears of laughter came out, "It's not okay to be old, you are actually bluffed by such a hairy boy, what a military envoy, bullshit!" ”

"Yes, he's just a piece of shit, and today he walked around the city wall, he didn't understand anything, and he looked around." Qiu Fuzhao said.

"Just those few people, just let him see it, he can't figure out our foundation." Xia Dalong sneered.

……

The escort made the group full of wine and food, came out of Gong's house, and left with a full burp, and Gong's father and son sent it to the gate, and looked at the team before returning happily.

Gong Zijun saw that his father was in high spirits, and he changed his appearance from the past, so he said: "Dad, you are in good spirits on happy occasions." ”

"It's not just a happy event, it's a big happy event, I thought that the Gong family was going to lose in my hands, how do I know that the time will come, I have met a nobleman, Zijun, the situation in Nantai is going to change, and the Xia family is going to be unlucky!" Gong Jiaxuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, the old man drank a little wine just now, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy.

"Yes." Gong Zijun also smiled, he is a college student, his knowledge is naturally stronger than his father, his hometown is seriously troubled, the people are not happy, his own family was originally a money bank, the business was prosperous in the former Qing Dynasty, but since the Republic of China, it has gone downhill, and the business has plummeted, and the money village that was originally all over the province is only left in the provincial capital, which is barely maintained by his uncle, the decline of the Gong family has something to do with the general environment, and the Xia family also has a relationship, Xia Dalong has a gun in his hand, and has been pressing the Gong family, and Shengsheng has pressed their family to a first-class family to a second-rate family.

"The protector envoy took the initiative to show goodwill, which is a precursor to the Xia family." Gong Jiaxuan looked around and said in a low voice.

Gong Zijun raised his eyebrows: "Xia Dalong's fish and meat people, the crime should be dead, he should have been dealt with a long time ago, Dad, the army envoy wants to punish Xia Dalong, does our Gong family have to help." ”

Gong Jiaxuan waved his hand: "Otherwise, although the protector is menacing, the Xia family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's stay out of the matter for the time being, and wait and see what happens. ”

Gong Zijun pouted: "The meaning of sending charcoal in the snow is very different from icing on the cake, when the Xia family is defeated, let's go up and step on it again, is it interesting?" I think Chen Dashuai is very strong, and with Wu Dashuai's support, dealing with Xia Dalong is like pinching an ant to death, we have to stick it as soon as possible. ”

Gong Jiaxuan smiled: "Child, you are still too tender, if the army envoy really has the support of Wu Dashuai, he will not only bring a company of soldiers." ”
