Sun Liren spent five years in the United States. Every gesture has a strong American style, and he likes to speak straight and not detour, he just said: "I didn't study military affairs in the United States to be a policeman." ”

Chen Zikun had already prepared, and took out the establishment table of the tax police corps, Sun Liren flipped through the two pages, and was slightly surprised, where is this police force, it is clearly a regular army, even more advanced than the army's equipment, and the treatment is even more generous.

"After you passed, the rank is still colonel, but you can be guaranteed to be a real regiment commander, and you have not tried the feeling of being in charge of more than a thousand soldiers, how about it, think about it?" Chen Zikun found the hesitation in the other party's eyes, and said bewildermently at the right time.

Sun Liren still refused: "Thank you, I think it's better to stay in the Central Army, I'm sorry, if there is nothing else, I will retire." ”

After saying that, he got up and saluted, and was about to put on his hat and turn to leave, Chen Zikun suddenly raised his tone and said: "Sun Liren, do you want to be Weng Zhong for the rest of your life!" ”

Sun Liren is the Anhui champion of Tsinghua University's preparatory class for studying in the United States, how can he not know the origin of Weng Zhong, this kind of stone carving of the general figurines that usually stand in the emperor's mausoleum, isn't it a portrayal of his current position, the deputy captain of the guard corps, it sounds very pretentious, in fact, it is the general in front of the palace, the golden gourd warrior, the honor guard that is not useful, he was selected, it is nothing more than a burly physique and dignified appearance, and it is because of the students who studied in the United States, and the experience of studying in the United States is precisely his own shortcomings, compared with the mainstream Whampoa system in the Central Army, I'm a ragtag army.

He stood motionless at the door, like a stone tablet.

Chen Zikun continued: "If you go to the Tax Police Corps, I guarantee that you will be promoted to general within three years, you should think about it." ”

Sun Liren didn't turn around, and burst out two words: "Thank you." "Pushed the door and went out.

……

Chen Zikun and Song Ziwen operated intensively in private, and set up the shelf of the tax police corps, with the veteran Wen Yingxing out of the mountain as the head of the regiment, although this old West Point is studying military, but most of the time he is the president of the university.

The Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps has been transformed into a tax police regiment of the Ministry of Finance, still stationed in Shanghai, upgraded from a "warlord private soldier" to a tax dog of the country's uncle, and his status has skyrocketed.

For such a big thing, Chiang Kai-shek, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, was actually kept in the dark, and he still dreamed of letting Chen Zikun lead the anti-smoking corps to Jiangxi to suppress the Communist Party.

In late August, Nanjing, which had always been hot and humid, suddenly ushered in a cool weather, and Chen Zikun invited a group of dignitaries and friends from military and political circles to go horseback riding in the suburbs.

At the same time, the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs was issued, appointing Chen Zikun as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Jiangxi to suppress bandits, but the commander-in-chief was already injured and difficult to go to his post, and the news reached the ears of Chiang Kai-shek, and he sneered: "This Chen Kunwu is actually playing tricks with me, he can't go, his anti-smoking corps must go." ”

The Ministry of Military Affairs ordered the transfer of the anti-smoking corps, but was told that the number of this unit had been revoked, and it was now the first regiment of the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance, which was under the jurisdiction of Minister Song Ziwen, and the Ministry of Military Affairs had no right to dispatch troops.

Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and actually carried out small actions behind his back, Song Ziwen and Chen Zikun were really bold, but this dumb loss had to be swallowed secretly, the eldest brother was the god of wealth, suppressing the Communist Party, appeasing the local warlords, and reorganizing the new-style army, all of which required money, with a monthly deficit of tens of millions, and they must not be ruthless because of a small group of people.

As for Chen Zikun, who pretended to be lame, he had no choice but to go.

Since the beginning of the summer of this year, floods have been rampant across the country, and the victims are everywhere, Chen Zikun rushed back to Jiangdong to relieve the victims, rushed to repair the embankment, and his busy feet did not touch the ground, and he was extremely pleased that the river embankment in Beitai County was very firm, the urban sewer system was developed, the factories and houses were built on high places, and the industrial base that had been painstakingly operated was not washed away by the flood.

……

In September, Yan Qingyu, the head of Shanghai Purple Star Films, and Hu Die, the actress who is well-known all over the country, ended the location shooting in Songlin Store in Hebei Province, took the train to Beiping, and met a large number of fans holding posters to greet them at the train station.

The two stayed at the Liuguo Hotel, and friends in the film and television industry in Beiping held a banquet not to mention it.

The crew of "Merry Overseer" received great assistance from the Beiping Municipal Government, and the filming work went quite smoothly, and after being busy for half a month, Yan Qingyu and Hu Die received an invitation letter from the deputy commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force to go to the camp, and Zhang Xueliang wanted to invite them to watch the play.

Now Zhang Shaoshuai is the number one person in North China, concurrently serving as a member of the National Government, a member of the Central Political Conference, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, controlling the military affairs of Hebei, Jin, Chacha, Sui, Liao, Ji, Hei, and Re provinces, and stomping his feet, North China will be shaken three times, and when he receives his invitation, Yan Qingyu is very excited, Hu Die debuted earlier, and he also has a friendship with the young marshal, but he is calm.

This scene is very famous, it is a charity performance for the flood relief in northern Liaoning, Mr. Mei Lanfang, the famous actor of Liyuan Xing, plays the role of "Cosmic Edge", the location is in the Chang'an Grand Theater, when the diplomats and social elites in Beiping will come, although Yan Qingyu and Hu Die are movie stars, but in the eyes of the upper class, they are not Erer, so they dare not hold it up on this occasion and arrive at the Grand Theater on time.

The atmosphere of Peking is different from that of Shanghai, the church meeting is held at noon, and the people can come in the evening, no matter what they do, they all reveal the laziness and style of the people of the imperial capital.

The entrance of the Grand Theater is crowded with people, all of whom are fans waiting for the boss of the plum field, and there are flower baskets on both sides of the gate.

Boss Mei finally came, the crowd rushed to both sides like a sea, making a way, a car drove over unhurriedly, stopped at the door of the Grand Theater, the manager personally opened the door, Boss Mei was dressed in white and snowy, personable, smiling and nodding his head, and immediately applauded.

"He is so beautiful, both handsome and bewitching of a woman." Hu Die sighed.

Yan Qingyu glanced at Mei Lanfang, involuntarily stroked her oil head with her hand, and said: "How can Peking Opera have good movies, the actors don't have many years of beauty." ”

Boss Mei went into the backstage to make up and change his clothes, and the guests from all walks of life also entered the box, and there were already warm-up scenes on the stage, hand towels flew all over the field in the garden, and people selling melon seeds and cigarettes walked everywhere, which was very lively.

Yan Qingyu and Hu Die were ushered into a box with an excellent location, which was empty, and after a while, one person opened the curtain and came in, smiled and shook the folding fan and said, "Yan Daxia, Miss Hu, hello." ”

This person is of medium stature, wearing a black satin horse coat, a jade white gown, a three-seven head, handsome, no worse than Boss Mei, a jade wrench on his finger is extremely full, the fan pendant is a piece of mutton fat jade, which is also valuable, and there are poems inscribed by Cao Rulin on the fan surface, which seems to be not an ordinary man.

"Didn't ask? Are you a peer of Boss Mei? Yan Qingyu thought that this person was also singing, but he grinned: "Speaking of which, we have relatives, my surname is Li, Li Junqing, and Chen Zikun are sworn brothers, you are Zikun's brother-in-law, and I am also my brother." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li, my brother-in-law often mentions you, saying that the relationship between the two of you was iron." Yan Qingyu came as soon as he opened his mouth, but in fact, Chen Zikun never mentioned this name to him at all.

Li Junqing was very happy, chatted with the two celebrities, took out a blank notebook and ink pen, asked the two to inscribe, the two laughed and laughed, after arriving in Beiping, the light signature was almost tired and broken.

was signing, and there was a shout outside: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief arrives~~"

The legendary Zhang Shaoshuai arrived, and the audience gave a standing ovation, only to see a thin young man walking into the box where Yan Qingyu and others were accompanied by a group of warblers and Yanyan, and nodded at them very politely: "Mr. Yan, Ms. Hu, I'm your fan, I'll sign my name later." ”

Li Junqing smiled all over his face, said a few polite words, put away the autograph book and walked away very interestingly, Zhang Xueliang sat down, took a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed twice, and said: "I'm really sorry, I've been unwell recently, I contracted typhoid fever when I went to Nanjing for a meeting, and I lived in Xiehe for three months, but I was suffocated." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "The deputy commander-in-chief participated in the disaster relief charity performance despite his illness, which is really admirable. ”

Hu Die also appropriately complimented: "The deputy commander-in-chief's complexion is getting better and better." ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "Watch the play, watch the play, Boss Mei is about to come out." ”

Today's Chang'an Grand Theater was full, Mei Lanfang won the applause of the audience as soon as she came on the stage, her voice came out, and the audience suddenly quieted down, and many old opera fans still shook their heads along with the lyrics, intoxicated.

Zhang Xueliang asked some things about Chen Zikun very casually, such as how old the child is, whether he is in good health, and he seems to be very familiar with Chen Zikun during the conversation, Yan Qingyu only then understood that he was invited to listen to the play with the young marshal today, which was actually the light of his brother-in-law.

After a while, Yan Qingyu hurriedly went out to the thatched house, and when he came back, the young marshal was no longer there.

"It seems that there is a long-distance call from the Northeast looking for him." Hu Die explained.

"Alas, being a big official is trouble, and there are all kinds of opportunities, and there is no personal time at all." Yan Qingyu sighed.

The next day, Yan Qingyu was about to set off from the Six Nations Hotel to the filming location of the Red Mansion of Peking University, when he suddenly saw the foreigner's abnormal expression and discussion, he learned a little pidgin English when he was mixing the rivers and lakes, and when he heard that the limelight was wrong, he hurriedly bought a newspaper.

The headline read: "Northeast Incident, Japanese Army Occupies Shenyang." ”
