In the following time, Yu Jishi, Luo Zhuoying and others all saw Wu Ming's professionalism and outstanding ability.

In just three days, Wu Ming established clear and comprehensive personnel files for the officers and men of the three provisional regiments, and held frequent on-the-spot meetings with officers at and above the company commander level to solve practical problems encountered.

Every morning, even if Wu Ming drank too much wine the night before, he would insist on going out to exercise and running with the officers and soldiers; After the morning exercise every day, Wu Ming would go to the high platform and give a speech to all the officers and soldiers, using his highly appealing language to incite the enthusiasm of all the officers and soldiers; In life, he cared about every officer and soldier, from the military uniforms and hats of the officers and soldiers, to the military shoes and leggings of the officers and soldiers, he checked them one by one, checked them often, and he would enter each company platoon for breakfast and lunch, and lined up to eat with an iron bowl like an ordinary soldier. During the two afternoons of political and ideological study, he personally visited the regiments and urged the officers and men not to spend lavishly on the military salaries that had just been paid, and to remember to write letters to their parents, brothers and sisters at home to report their safety.

After only three days of getting along, the soldiers changed from fear of Wu Ming at the beginning to respect Wu Ming, and the rapid change in attitude was unbelievable.

Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei also deeply admired Wu Ming's outstanding ability and morality, and finally understood why Wu Ming's officers and soldiers would obey him respectfully

It wasn't until after the departure of the three provisional groups that Wu Ming took time to go to Tianshui Hall to meet with his old friend Pastor Dai Zichen, exchange feelings and discuss cooperation in the second half of the year.

Since Fr. Lei Mengde went to Shanghai and did not return, Wu Ming had no choice but to put away several new cooperation plans, and accompanied by Dai Zichen, he and Wang Yuehan went to the church medical school to visit his sister Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who had been looking forward to seeing his brother Wu Ming, was excited, holding Wu Ming's hand and jumping and jumping, and when Chen Yi's group of male and female classmates learned that the tall, handsome and extraordinary colonel in front of them was the legendary military general Wu Ming, they all rushed out to watch, pointing and admiring Wu Ming, and envious of the happy Chen Yi.

When saying goodbye, Chen Yi's beautiful big eyes, which were reluctant, were full of tears, which made Wu Ming very embarrassed.

On the return trip, I didn't catch up with Boss Zhong's ship, and the owner and crew of the other ship also knew the famous Wu Ming, and treated Wu Ming and his party respectfully and meticulously.

After dinner, the owner of the ship set up a large round table for Wu Ming and his party on the top deck, and sent fragrant tea and refreshments for Wu Ming and others to enjoy. ”

Wu Ming was very surprised, and after thinking about it, he felt that this was normal, and he smiled and asked, "In what capacity does my brother plan to go?" ”

Luo Zhuoying replied with a smile: "Of course, it's in a private capacity...... Don't worry, there are not many people, just Brother Fool and Pei I, how about it? ”

Huang Wei came up: "Are you still worried about the safety of the two of us?" Why can't the first fierce general of the Zhejiang army guarantee our thoroughness? ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but say: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" So, after returning to Quzhou, you still need to know the specific situation. Do some necessary preparations...... Three days later, we went to the hinterland of Qianligang together, and tried to get things done within a week! ”

Luo Zhuoying stroked his palm and smiled, and Huang Wei immediately gave Wu Ming a thumbs up: "You cow!" ”

######

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the passenger ferry docked at the terminal Quzhou Wharf.

Wu Ming saw Zhang Dongning, a regimental staff officer in military uniform, standing on the dock, with two familiar Dodge cars parked behind him, so he turned to Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei, and said with a smile: "It seems that General Chen Cheng is back, and it is estimated that he has arrived at the Changshan military camp at this time." ”

Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei didn't expect Chen Cheng to come back so soon, and they both wanted to rush back to meet as soon as possible, Wu Ming asked them not to worry, wait for him to go to Quzhou to camp, and then everyone returned to Changshan together.

Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei were slightly surprised, and Huang Wei asked puzzledly, "So fast...... Don't you want to get to know the gangsters? There is a lot of preparatory work to be done to suppress bandits, at least you have to have a meeting with the people of the Quzhou Border Command and discuss the combat plan in detail to be in line with the usual practice, right? ”

"Have a fart party! What's there to discuss with those idiots of theirs? If they had the vision and the means, they would not have been beaten by hundreds of bandits, and their noses and faces would be swollen and their armor would be disgraced...... The younger brother only needs to submit a report, clarifying the operational ideas, attaching the list of required food and materials, and if they agree, they will send me to the Changshan military camp. ”

"Hehe, aren't they just a few bandits who can't make a climate? It's not to face tens of thousands of communist troops, as long as military salaries and materials can be guaranteed, it's a trivial matter. Wu Ming's seemingly rude words showed strong self-confidence, and he did not hide his purpose of bargaining.

Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei are both generals who have been in the army for many years, where do they not know the meaning of Wu Ming's words? The two laughed loudly in unison, and after laughing, they could only shake their heads and get into the car.

The two cars drove to the gate of the compound opposite the Fushan in the east of Quzhou City, Wu Ming instructed the driver not to drive in, just stop at the door, turn his head and ask Luo Zhuoying and Huang Wei in the back seat to wait, then pushed the car door and strode out of the car, took a report and walked to the officer on duty who saluted him early, and returned the salute with a formal rule, and joked with a smile: "Company Commander Zhang, it's been a long time!" The military uniform is good, it's almost catching up with the Central Army, and the leather shoes are brighter than mine. ”

Company Commander Zhang was very embarrassed, and smiled bitterly at Wu Ming: "Sir, you are a sarcastic little brother!" ”

"Where can I be! By the way, are you Commander Lu at home? Wu Ming asked with a smile.

"In! However, now that the financial and taxation work meeting of the Executive Department is being held, it has been held for a morning, and it is estimated that it is almost over, or the younger brother will go in to report for the chief...... The commander has been looking forward to the arrival of the commander for a long time, and he will definitely receive the commander immediately. A military meeting was held last night, and many people, including the Quxian police chief, were scolded by the commander, and the old brothers are counting on you! ”

Company Commander Zhang, who is tall and talented, was originally the commander of Fang Youchun's second guard company, and he was very familiar with Wu Ming, and he had a good relationship with each other, so he quietly revealed the inside story to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming smiled and nodded, and handed the report to Company Commander Zhang:

"Forget it, since your commander is presiding over an important meeting, I won't bother him, this is the combat plan formulated by my department, please help me submit it...... If your commander asks, he will say that in order to gain time, you need to rush back to Changshan to make all preparations in advance, and then I will find you for a drink when I have time. ”

Company Commander Zhang respectfully took the report with both hands, and when he saw that Wu Ming was leaving, he hurriedly said: "Deputy Commander Jiang is here, it's in the West Courtyard, why don't you report to him immediately?" Let him come out and entertain him? ”

"Who is Deputy Commander Chiang? I don't know. ”

Wu Ming shook his head after speaking, turned around and left, got into the car, closed the door and ordered to drive.

Company Commander Zhang watched the two cars start slowly, turned around and drove towards the north gate, could only smile bitterly, slightly tidy up the military appearance, and went directly to the West Courtyard, handing over Wu Ming's report to Jiang Boqing, the deputy commander who insisted on going to work despite his leg injury.

Jiang Boqing read the one-page battle plan for suppressing bandits, and then read the 20 expenditure items attached at the back, such as the march route densely written with three pages, the estimated time, the cost of suppressing bandits, the summary of a regiment's military salaries, the budget for the consumption of weapons and ammunition, the wear and tear of clothing, shoes and hats, cooking utensils and horse materials, and the expenses for carriages and horses.
