Wu Ming returned to the Changshan military camp on time at twelve o'clock at noon the next day, and when he rode the ugly horse with a big skeleton Shi Shiran into the camp gate, the eyes of the star officer on duty in the guard battalion were moist, and he was more energetic than ever when he stood up and saluted.

Only a few staff officers on duty ran out of the brigade department to greet them, and the deputy brigade commander Liu Guoyong and other commanders had already accompanied Yu Jishi to the big canteen for dinner, Wu Ming smiled at Du Pingzhang, the confidential section chief who heard the news, pointed to the military uniform on his body, and asked: "Pingzhang, why didn't you change into a new military uniform?" ”

Du Pingzhang, who was in charge of the confidential and communications work of the whole brigade, was familiar with the inside situation, forcibly held back the excitement in his heart and saluted a solemn military salute, and then pointed to a group of staff officers around him:

"Didn't the brethren all wear their original uniforms? Except for Deputy Brigade Commander Liu, his adjutants, and the guards, none of the brothers changed their uniforms...... It is estimated that there are no brothers of our own who are seen in the brigade, but all friendly troops from other departments, and they will all rush to Jiangxi after lunch. ”

Wu Ming patted Du Pingzhang on the shoulder, and smiled: "If I don't come back for a few days, my eyesight has declined, no, no, it seems that I have to fry pork liver at night to replenish my eyes, otherwise I won't know what to do if I am deceived by you guys." ”

When all the brothers heard this, they laughed loudly in unison, and they laughed very heartily, and the quartermaster staff officer stepped forward quickly and asked Wu Ming if he was going to eat in the cafeteria now? Wu Ming asked Yu Ji rhetorically, did he know if he had come back?

After receiving a positive reply, Wu Ming said that he had breakfast at half past ten, and instructed the quartermaster staff officer to tell Liu Guoyong, and then entered the independent dormitory converted from the old barracks in the backyard of the camp, and instructed the adjutant Mo Mingqi to make a small charcoal stove and take out a special tea set.

Twenty minutes later, two staff officers of the brigade headquarters came running to report: "Commander Yu and the others have finished lunch and are on their way back to the brigade headquarters. ”

Wu Ming immediately tidied up his appearance, strode out of the city, and waited outside the gate of the brigade headquarters in advance, Yu Jishi was still ten meters away, Wu Ming had already raised his hand to salute and greeted loudly: "Good teacher"

Yu Jishi showed a kind smile on his face, and he didn't stop when he returned the salute casually, and asked Wu Ming who was following him if he had eaten while walking? Wu Ming said that he didn't believe it when he ate Yu Ji, Wu Ming explained with a big grin that he had really eaten, and even if he didn't eat, he wouldn't disturb everyone's meal, otherwise as soon as he entered the big canteen, many sycophants would throw down their chopsticks and stand up and salute, so it was better not to go, so that everyone could eat happily.

Yu Jishi turned his head to ask Liu Guoyong on the other side, Liu Guoyong hurriedly explained that the big canteen is a place for the brigade headquarters personnel to eat, and Wu Ming usually goes to each company to eat with the soldiers, everyone is used to it, and many veterans not only do not salute Wu Ming who ran to eat, but squat with Wu Ming with a big bowl in their hands, chatting while eating.

The brothers who followed him were not angry when they saw Yu Ji, and they all secretly let out a sigh.

Yu Jishi did not show any unhappiness, and treated Wu Ming as affectionately as usual, as if Wu Ming's resignation had never happened, and heard Wu Ming say that he brought the autumn tea that had just been picked and made this year from the She village in the north of Phoenix Mountain, Yu Jishi happily ordered everyone to rest, and only called Chen Shizheng, the chief of staff, and Liu Guoyong, the deputy commander of the Second Brigade, to follow Wu Ming to his antique living room to taste tea.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Yu Jishi and others were attracted by a unique fragrance of tea.

Chen Shizheng, who is good at this, sniffed deeply and praised "good tea", Wu Ming explained that this is not a tea to be drunk later, but a tea that is boiled at will to wash the teapot and moisten the cup.

After sitting down with each other, no one spoke, Wu Ming was busy washing the teacup and cleaning the teapot, and after the last time, he added spring water to the small clay pot that was cleaned and put it on the small charcoal stove skillfully, and then wiped his hands and raised his head.

Yu Jishi looked at Wu Ming with a smile, slowly stretched out his hand to Chen Shizheng beside him, took a document that Chen Shizheng took out of his briefcase, and put it on the desktop in front of Wu Ming, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Wu Ming just hurriedly glanced at the head of the Central Military and Political Department and the two big seals on the cover of the document, immediately took out the pen, filled in his name in the upper right column of the cover, and then quickly turned to the last page of the document, signed his name with a phoenix, put away the pen and closed the document, his face did not change, and his hands were sent to the stunned Chen Shizheng.

Yu Jishi admired it in his heart, but he didn't give up: "I really didn't expect you Wu Ming to be so single, today is an eye-opener." ”

Wu Ming looked indifferent, and replied while making tea: "This is the master's position that looks down on his subordinates, if the subordinates are still coy, will they not live up to the teacher's good intentions."

Chen Shizheng was completely convinced: "You kid is amazing, if you are born in troubled times, you Wu Ming is definitely a world-famous hero"

Wu Ming smiled: "Chief of Staff, it seems that it has not been peaceful in the past few decades, right?" Ha Lu Ha come and come, drink tea first, this tea has no name, drink it while it is hot and has a special charm, the color is green, fragrant but not strong, quiet and long, the lips and teeth are fragrant She people say that this tea also has an effect, long-term drinking can prevent colds, mosquitoes do not bite, it is estimated that I drink less, so there is no experience, the mosquitoes in the She cottage still bully me as an outsider. ”

Everyone was amused by Wu Ming's words.

Yu Jishi took the tea offered by Wu Ming with a smile, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then carefully drank two sips, and praised it after a while: "It's really special, good tea."

Chen Shizheng couldn't help but praise loudly: "Such a good tea doesn't even have a name, it's a pity, it's really far away in the mountains and no one knows it."

Wu Ming smiled: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured, your subordinates know that you like tea, bring you a small bag to try, it is estimated that there is more than a catty, put it on the desk by the window, and remember to take it later." ”

Yu Jishi took the second cup of tea offered by Wu Ming, and his face returned to his usual seriousness: "Now that you and I are face to face, just say what conditions you have." ”

Wu Ming smiled humbly: "In front of the master's seat, where do subordinates dare to talk about any conditions?" It's a blessing to be able to follow the master's seat...... Oops......"

Seeing Yu Jishi getting up with a straight face and about to leave, Wu Ming hurriedly said: "Master, please stay, please stay, is it not okay for your subordinates to tell the truth?" Look at you...... Sit down and say, sit down and say, this tea tastes more delicious when you drink it in the third cup. ”

Chen Shizheng and Liu Guoyong laughed loudly when they saw Wu Ming's rare embarrassment, and Yu Jishi couldn't help laughing and scolding, saying that he had never seen such a scoundrel.

Wu Ming carefully poured tea for each one, put down the exquisite small porcelain pot, and said very seriously: "Master, there are no conditions for subordinates, there is only a small request, I implore the master to approve." ”

"You say I listen"

Yu Jishi did not agree to this, nor did he say that he would not approve it, and his attitude was very subtle.

Wu Ming looked at Yu Jishi sincerely: "Division, let your subordinates stay in western Zhejiang for another year, there are still many things that have not been dealt with by subordinates, and in this year, subordinates will go all out to recruit and train recruits for the division, and they can even raise grain and grass, recruit and train personnel from a division-level field hospital."

"Master, it only takes a year for your subordinates, and after a year, you can transfer your subordinates anywhere, even if you let your subordinates carry a big sword and fight with the Japanese emperor, your subordinates will not frown."

"That's it?" Yu Jishi asked puzzled.

Wu Ming nodded solemnly: "If the master feels that he can't go to this request, he will have no opinion on giving some benefits." ”

Chen Shizheng and Liu Guoyong couldn't hold it back any longer, and at the same time Da Lu laughed, Yu Jishi showed a satisfied smile on his face, Wu Ming's conditions were far lower than the greater concessions that Yu Jishi planned to make, so he was very happy, and at the same time deeply satisfied with Wu Ming, but he still asked: "Just one year?" ”

Wu Ming nodded again: "Just one year, one year is enough to have a child." ”

The laughter sounded again, and Chen Shizheng laughed and scolded: "Wu Ming, can you be more serious?" ”

"It's the truth, it's better than those false words, right?" Wu Ming smiled bitterly.

Chen Shizheng quickly put away his smile: "That's right, Wu Ming is really Wu Ming, there is no other semicolon for this family."

Yu Jishi was completely relieved: "There are two things that must be told to you, and you can't refuse: first, I will take away the Second Brigade and the Fourth Regiment and Liu Guoyong, and you can find someone to fill in the shortage, and I will sign; Second, I will soon send a deputy chief of staff to supervise you, and you will not want to get out of my control."

"Subordinates obey"

Wu Ming readily agreed, but made another request: "Please leave Luo Yuming, the deputy head of the fourth regiment, to his subordinates, otherwise there will really be no one to lead the troops." ”

Yu Jishi thought for a moment: "Okay, I promise you." Starting this month, your newly formed 10th Brigade will be officially included in the sequence of our Central Army, and your personnel relations, as well as all the consumption of equipment, military salaries, clothing, and so on, will be the unified responsibility of our Central Army. ”

"In addition, as a member of the party-state, you can no longer use any excuse to get involved in local civil affairs...... This is particularly important, as for how to deal with your little treasury, you can do it yourself, I will only give you one year, after a year, I am afraid that I will transfer you at any time, from now on you have to be mentally prepared.

Wu Ming immediately stood up and replied loudly with both legs: "Understood"

Yu Jishi nodded with satisfaction, signaled Chen Shizheng and Liu Guoyong to retreat first, Wu Ming sent Chen Shizheng and Liu Guoyong out of the door, ordered everyone to leave the room ten meters away, and then came back to cover the door.
