**********************

When Wu Ming and his entourage arrived in Quzhou by boat, it was already dusk.

Under the afterglow of the remnant sun, the Ximen Wharf seems quite deserted, full of garbage and sewage, not far from the city wall near the city wall around a few rows of tattered brick and wood houses, a group of chickens, ducks and a few black pigs running around, this situation and this scene, and Wu Ming saw the last time is very different, only the Ming Dynasty built the towering gatehouse and the tall city wall is still so majestic and solemn.

Under the guidance of Ma Zhizhai, Wu Ming and others, who had already changed into military uniforms, rode into the West Gate in the salute of the officers and soldiers at the city gate, crossed most of the city, and went directly to the Zhejiang West Security Headquarters under the Fushan Mountain.

Seeing that Wu Ming had been looking around since entering the city, Ma Zhizhai, who was walking on horseback, introduced to Wu Ming:

"Quzhou four provinces thoroughfare, the gateway of western Zhejiang, in the country can also be regarded as a large-scale ancient city, ten miles of city wall six city gates are basically intact, the city of 36 streets and 72 lanes criss-crossed, like a chessboard, is still very prosperous, just because a few days ago' The news of the 918 Incident, coupled with the news agitation, led to rumors that people were panicking, students and some businessmen boycotted the market, smashed two Japanese trading companies in the city, and almost burned down the gospel church on Jiaochi Street, causing the whole province to shake, and Commander Fang had to impose a curfew, but the people who did not know the truth thought that the Japanese were coming, making chickens and dogs jump, and there was chaos, and our life was not easy, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Wu Ming thanked him in a low voice, he understood many of the meanings that Ma Zhizhai wanted to convey, Fang Youchun had just made a comeback, and he must have offended many people, although the original commissioner had been transferred, and the new commissioner had not yet been in place, but the officials of the special administration of the Yamen, who held the power of civil affairs and finance, would definitely not want to see the army suppress them, and they would definitely be perfunctory to Fang Youchun, who adhered to the principles, and even secretly restrained them, plus the officers and soldiers in the army had not yet returned to their hearts, what Fang Youchun took over was undoubtedly a mess.

Without saying a few words, the gate of the West Zhejiang Security Headquarters was already in front of him, Wu Ming dismounted with Ma Zhizhai, and entered under the curious gaze of the officers on duty and several sentries, turned the wide road on the left side of the large playground, walked forward for more than 50 meters and turned north, and soon saw Fang Youchun's family and several officers in straight uniforms waiting in front of the courtyard gate with gray tiles and white walls with a smile.

Fang Zhichun, who was wearing a cheongsam, hid behind Fang's sister-in-law, and saw Wu Ming, who was dressed in military uniform, following Ma Zhizhai and walking quickly, almost unable to recognize the tall and mighty and heroic young officer in front of her, who was actually Wu Ming she was familiar with, and was stunned for a while before she opened her apricot eyes and glared at Wu Ming hatefully.

Looking at Wu Ming, who was the standard of military salute in front of him, Fang Youchun showed a rare bright smile, and after returning the salute, he was just about to introduce Wu Ming to a few school officers around him, but his son Xiaoxin had already broken free from his mother's hand, drilled through the cracks, and pounced on Wu Ming's legs: "Uncle, uncle, where have you been?" Don't you want me? ”

Wu Ming picked up Xiao Xin and kissed it, and then realized something, Jun's face was flushed, and he looked very embarrassed, everyone smiled when they saw Ha Lu and began to compliment, Fang Youchun had no choice but to invite everyone into the house, stand at the wine table that had been set up, and introduce the four school officials to Wu Ming:

"This is our deputy commander, Colonel Tang Yuntao, a member of the old alliance, a graduate of the Japanese Dongbin Military Academy, and a long-standing revolutionary predecessor in our Zhejiang army."

Wu Ming saluted respectfully: "Commander Tang is good!" ”

"Good, good, good! Ha Luha, Brother Wu is really a talent! "Tang Yuntao, who is over forty years old and has a good body, is very kind, with a round nose on his white round face and slightly smaller eyes, which makes people feel very amiable, like a laughing Maitreya, and he doesn't take the slightest bit of the seniors in the army at all.

Fang Youchun was very satisfied with Wu Ming's performance, and then introduced the next one: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Wenyan, deputy chief of staff and chief of the political training section who has just been transferred from the provincial government, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou is two years older than you, but he has rich experience in party and government work. ”

Wu Ming took a step forward and saluted: "Please take care of Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou!" ”

Zhou Wenyan, who was thin and elegant-looking, hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Wu, don't be polite, the commander praises falsely, Zhou is really ashamed!" When I was in Nanjing for a short training month ago, I heard Director Xu mention Brother Wu's name, and I feel honored to see Brother Wu today, and I will ask Brother Wu for more help in the future! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Fang Youchun pondered a little, and then understood what was going on.

But Commander Tang's reaction was very different, the amiable smile on his face instantly stiffened, looking at Zhou Wenyan's eyes, revealing a look of shock, Tang Yuntao knew that Zhou Wenyan, who was only twenty-eight years old, had a deep background, after graduating from the Central Party School two years ago, he entered the Central Party Department because of his excellent character and learning, and was transferred back to his hometown Hangzhou half a year ago to serve as the deputy chief of the Personnel Section of the Provincial Party Department.

But no one had heard Zhou Wenyan mention the matter of Nanjing before, and the Director Xu he casually said was undoubtedly Xu Enzeng, director of the General Affairs Division of the Central Party Department and chief of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, so it seems that the young and elegant deputy chief of staff of the lieutenant colonel in front of him is likely to be the confidant of Chen Lifu, the head of the Central Organization Department, and also Xu Enzeng's confidant in the military circles of Zhejiang!

Wu Ming also came to a judgment similar to Tang Yuntao, but he was more calm than Tang Yuntao, and there was no abnormality on his face, and he was still so humble and peaceful.

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Chen Qian, the chief of the military affairs section I once mentioned to you, and this is Lieutenant Colonel Gu Yueheng, the new quartermaster chief." Fang Youchun only introduced two henchmen after the last.

Wu Ming hurriedly went up to meet politely, he knew that Chen Qian, the chief of the military affairs section of Ludao Dao, was originally a fierce general under Fang Youchun, Long You was seriously injured in the first battle, leaving a leg disability, so he could only leave the main regiment he personally brought out and return to Fang Youchun's side, successively served as the chief of staff of the brigade, the chief of the training section of the headquarters, the head of the military police of the headquarters and other positions, two years ago he was transferred to the chief of military affairs until now, because of his fairness and prestige, so no one dared to touch him after Fang Youchun was framed and stepped down.

Gu Yueheng is Fang Youchun's cousin, graduated from the ninth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, the qualifications are slightly inferior, but the victory is to be diligent, and people are also cheerful and practical, meticulous in their work, after Fang Youchun stepped down, he was excluded from the army, this time Fang Youchun made a comeback and was promoted to a level, and immediately recalled this trustworthy cousin back as the general manager.

Everyone sat down politely one after another, and after three rounds of drinking, it became lively.

Fang Youchun instructed Wu Ming without scruples: "Don't worry when you first come, first familiarize yourself with the situation in the army, stay with me for the time being tonight, I have already asked people to repair the small courtyard next door, and then move there tomorrow." ”

Without waiting for Wu Ming to express his position, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "Commander, why don't I move to the small courtyard next door tomorrow, I only live in the small western-style building opposite, it's really a waste, let's leave it to other colleagues who have families and rooms." ”

Deputy Commander Tang pondered for a moment, and immediately praised Zhou Wenyan's high style and brightness, and asked Fang Youchun in a consultative tone: "Commander, look, do you decorate that small western-style building a little and use it as a special guest house?" If a big person suddenly comes, it will definitely not be reassuring to live outside, and just the security affairs can tire us half to death. ”

Zhou Wenyan echoed casually: "Deputy Commander Tang's opinion is very good, in my opinion, although the operation against bandits in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River has come to an end temporarily due to the September 18 incident, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang has also left Nanchang and rushed back to Nanjing to preside over the overall situation, I always feel that this war against bandits still has to be fought, and it must be fought hard!" ”

"Quzhou is an important place in the throat of the four provinces, and in the past year, the army has been greatly dependent on Quzhou for the allocation, assembly, procurement of military rations, and even rest and recuperation, and for a long time to come, I am afraid that this situation will be more frequent and more frequent, and it will be inevitable that the headquarters will be ushered in, otherwise, the provincial party headquarters and the provincial government will not go out of their way to suddenly upgrade the status of our security forces in western Zhejiang, and order us to quickly replenish the establishment of 15,000 officers and men."

Fang Youchun, who was immortal and blessed by misfortune, has changed a lot, and he is as good as a stream at the moment, and immediately makes a decision: "Since everyone agrees, it's decided!" Yue Heng ......"

"Yes!"

Gu Yueheng, the quartermaster chief, hurriedly stood upright.

"You are responsible for this matter, come up with a renovation plan within three days, and submit it to Deputy Commander Tang for approval!" Fang Youchun ordered.

"Yes!"

After Gu Yueheng sat down, he quietly took out a small notebook and recorded it.

Tang Yuntao was very satisfied with Fang Youchun's decentralization, picked up his wine glass, and turned to Wu Ming with a smile: "Come on!" Brother Wu, my brother toasts you, you've worked hard all the way! ”

Wu Ming hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and respectfully toasted Tang Yuntao, a sentence of "Commander, you are free, I will finish" won everyone's general favor, although Wu Ming has never been smiling, and there is no smile on his face at this time, but no one thinks that this is any arrogance, but feels that Wu Ming is mature and steady, and knows how to advance and retreat.

After taking a sip of the wine, Wu Ming respectfully invited Tang Yuntao to sit down, and then humbly toasted everyone present, which immediately won the applause of the audience.

Gu Yueheng and Chen Qian saw that Wu Ming was so polite, and the only worry in their hearts slowly let go, and they were very happy to take turns clinking glasses with Wu Ming.

Ma Zhizhai was even more proud, he had seen Wu Ming's astonishing amount of alcohol, so he had already made up his mind to make a fool of himself in secret, to see who would make a fool of himself tonight, and who knew that when he was happy and dispersed, no one was poured down, and it seemed that they were all seasoned veterans of the wine field.

Late at night, Wu Ming, who had taken a shower and changed into clean civilian clothes, was invited to Fang Youchun's study, and Fang Youchun had already made a pot of superb Genting tea waiting for Wu Ming's arrival.

"Good tea!"

Wu Ming put down the cup lovingly, only to feel quiet and sweet, full of fragrance.

Fang Youchun said with a smile: "I know that you like good tea, so I specially prepared it for you." Let's talk about it, what do you think of Tang Yuntao and Zhou Wenyan? ”

Wu Ming pondered for a moment and truthfully stated his opinion: "Although I don't know Tang Yuntao's background and personality, I think this person is an old fox, and the eldest brother must be careful in the future." As for Zhou Wenyan, I have a good impression, principled, pursuing, not greedy for enjoyment and taking care of the overall situation, whether such a person is here to spy on us or to help, I think it is worth fighting for the eldest brother, not to mention that the person behind him has a lot of roots with the eldest brother, it is estimated that Zhou Wenyan himself will feel that the eldest brother and him belong to the same camp. ”

Fang Youchun raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "Little brother is amazing, in one word!" Being able to analyze many aspects of the two of them so accurately when they met for the first time made me ashamed of my big brother in comparison! If it weren't for your sister-in-law and Ma Zhizhai's repeated reminders, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you accurately! Very good! You'll have to stay with me in the future, and help me think about it and share more. ”

Wu Ming was anxious: "Big brother, you can't talk and don't count!" ”

Fang Youchun laughed, and there were bursts of cheerful laughter outside the door, Wu Ming raised his head in surprise, and found that Ma Zhizhai, Gu Yueheng and Chen Qian had come in.
