After receiving a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Jishi, Chief of Staff Chen Shizheng, and Adjutant Zhang Yingnian all clearly realized that the time had come for him to return to the Central Army

Chiang Kai-shek deliberately gave the establishment of the four brigades of the pursuit column, which was obviously the most difficult decision made after careful consideration and overall consideration, which also means that after this battle, Yu Jishi was able to obtain at least one or two regular army divisions of the Central Army.

However, Yu Jishi, who was becoming more and more mature and steady, still keenly saw Chiang Kai-shek's profound intentions, so he solemnly admonished Chen Shizheng and Zhang Yingnian:

"Although it is said that the return is imminent, we still have to take a long-term view, and the reason why the principal gave us the temporary numbers of the four brigades instead of directly giving us the regular division numbers shows that the number of the division level has yet to be decided."

"I think everyone knows what this is all about...... After the Great War in the Central Plains, in order to stabilize the miscellaneous troops attached to various places, and at the same time to exterminate the rapidly growing communist armed forces as soon as possible, he also needed to combine the miscellaneous troops with the number of the regular army, so he had been silently enduring the unwavering position, serious corruption, and corrupt military discipline of the miscellaneous army units continued to exist, and would rather spend a large amount of military money to push them directly to the front line of encirclement and suppression, rather than reorganize these miscellaneous troops who only knew how to levy and eat empty salaries, and were greedy for life and fear of death, so as to cause chaos. Provoked the opposition's verbal criticism again, which shows the huge pressure on the principal and the good intentions."

"However, the situation soon changed, and from all sides, the annihilation of the Communist Red Army was a foregone conclusion, and the rector was soon free to manage the disorganized army, and it had begun to proceed silently, which was the fundamental reason why the rector gave us the provisional number of the four brigades...... It can be said that the principal also pinned his ardent expectations on us, do you understand? ”

Yu Jishi's words made Chen Shizheng and Zhang Yingnian feel like an initiation, and they finally understood how heavy the task was.

Chen Shizheng said solemnly: "In this way, Wu Ming and his second brigade will not be able to let go, at present we only have two brigades in our hands, even if the six dissatisfied local security regiments in Shangrao, Jiangxi are also absorbed, at most only one brigade can be added, and the newly added brigade basically has no combat effectiveness, looking at the local armies of Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, the strongest combat effectiveness is still Wu Ming's second brigade."

"Yes, I'm in favor of it...... Wu Ming, this guy is really powerful, and Wu Ming's training talent is absolutely a must, with Wu Ming, we don't need to worry about recruiting and training troops. Zhang Yingnian also missed Wu Ming.

"Ahh

Yu Ji sighed for a long time: "I don't know the importance of Wu Ming's brigade, to put it mildly, just Wu Ming alone can top a division, but the twisted melon is not sweet, although I can transfer Wu Ming's brigade out of the Zhejiang army system with one order and forcibly pull Wu Ming to his side, but if Wu Ming makes trouble, no one can do anything."

"This guy is completely different from ordinary people, he eats soft and not hard, and he is very treacherous and cunning, since the beginning of the year, I have been thinking about how to adopt him, but until now I can't come up with a practical and good way, which is a headache."

Zhang Yingnian was also jealous of Wu Ming's cunning and arrogance, and rubbed his hands together and sighed.

Chen Shizheng suddenly remembered something, and immediately told Yu Jishi about the situation: "I only heard about it a few days ago, after Fang Youchun took office, he was faced with a mess left by Lu Zhongxiu, and the Finance Bureau of the Quzhou Administration had a balance every year, and there were only less than 50,000 oceans left on the books, and there were serious problems with financial expenditures and taxes, and it was difficult to pay salaries. ”

"Fang Youchun is a very practical person, not only did he not shirk his responsibility, nor did he fire and rectify any officials, but silently took it on, leading a group of grateful officials to forget to sleep and eat for three months, and the financial situation finally improved, but it still could not solve the fundamental problem."

As a result, Fang Youchun, who was helpless, could only ask Wu Ming to return the taxing rights of the three tax-rich border counties of Jiangshan, Changshan, and Kaihua to the Quzhou Administration.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yingnian was very surprised.

Yu Jishi immediately understood what Chen Shizheng meant, and he had also heard about Fang Youchun and Wu Ming's quarrel over the right to tax, but he didn't know what the specific situation was.

Under Yu Jishi's signal, Chen Shizheng smiled and continued to introduce: "Wu Ming, this guy is very cunning, he discussed with his eldest brother very kindly at the beginning, and he gave many and sufficient reasons, he promised that he would not occupy the right to tax in the three counties of western Zhejiang for a long time, after all, it was only an expedient measure to hand over the right to tax to him at that time for army expansion and banditry, and it would be unjustifiable to continue to occupy it, but he was reluctant to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per month."

It is estimated that Wu Ming wants to delay this year, so he suggested that Fang Youchun restore the water and land checkpoints that have been gradually abolished after taking office, and then cancel them when the days are better. But Fang Youchun is not so easy to fool, his upright personality and serious style are known to the entire Zhejiang officialdom, and his brother-in-law's plan to delay the army was quickly seen through by him, and he lost his temper because of it. ”

"At the beginning of last month, Fang Youchun suddenly notified Wu Ming to go to a meeting, and in front of all military and political officials, he issued a written order to Wu Ming that he must unconditionally return the taxing rights of the three counties in western Zhejiang before the end of September, otherwise he would forcibly take it back when it expired, and immediately annoyed Wu Ming, this guy sneered on the spot and said: Lao Tzu wants to see who dares to move, and if he is not afraid of death, he will come."

After the cruel words, Wu Ming brushed his sleeves away in a stunned state, and never went to Fang Youchun's house again, never attended any meeting of the Quzhou Administration again, and even on his father-in-law's birthday, he was angry and didn't go back, making Fang Youchun angry, and letting out words at the birthday banquet, if Wu Ming didn't focus on the overall situation, continued to do his own thing, and forcibly took the people's fat and people's ointment, he Fang Youchun would break off diplomatic relations with this selfish warlord.

Zhang Yingnian's brows stretched after hearing this, and Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "God help me"

Yu Jishi's spirit was suddenly shocked: "Okay, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Wu Ming's four directly subordinate companies of the Second Brigade have just been expanded into directly subordinate battalions, and the total number of officers and soldiers in the brigade is nearly 7,000 people, if there is no tax revenue from the three counties in western Zhejiang, no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to survive the end of the year, and only by attaching himself to our central military system can he bear the military salary expenditure of no less than 180,000 yuan per month, otherwise he can barely survive only by disarmament, which is absolutely unbearable for Wu Ming, who has worked hard for many years to train a strong army."

Chen Shizheng high-fived and sighed: "That's right, not to mention Fang Youchun's request is very legitimate, if you really want to make trouble, the provincial government and our security department will stand on Fang Youchun's side, and it will inevitably get the support of the vast majority of the people in western Zhejiang and even Zhejiang Province, if Wu Ming doesn't want the good reputation he has built up over the years to collapse overnight, he can only choose to compromise with Fang Youchun, and I am convinced that no matter how high-profile and loud Wu Ming roars, he will not be sorry for the people of western Zhejiang, just look at the good relationship between his second brigade and the people, As far as I know, Wu Ming can still distinguish the severity. ”

At this time, the confidential adjutant sent Wu Ming's reply call, and Yu Jishi smiled after reading it: "Niang Xipi, this Wu Ming is really a profiteer, give it to him, give it to him, isn't it five new Siemens radios?" Does he use it equal to my use? It's going to be in my hands anyway, haluha."

Chen Shizheng took the message and smiled after reading it: "This guy ...... It's better to wait for him to come, how can it take about ten days to lead the team to play, and our preparation time for departure will also take about ten days, and ten days is enough time to do his ideological work, and we will reach out and pull him again in a dilemma, does he have any other choice? ”

Yu Jishi patted the table happily: "Okay, it's decided, when he comes, I'll invite him to drink, and see how he, the monkey, escapes from my Five Finger Mountain, Ha Luha"

At half past one o'clock the next day, Wu Ming and Yu Jishi's Second Division Special Agent Company rushed from the Phoenix Mountain base to the headquarters that was still retained in the north camp of Quzhou City, intending to take a short rest after eating and take the train directly to Hangzhou at half past three in the afternoon, and after meeting Yu Jishi, he began basketball training

Wu Ming, who has been in a very bad mood recently, also wants to go crazy on the court and vent his accumulated anxiety through the game.

After finishing the belated lunch, Wu Ming was just about to make a greeting call to his pregnant wife at Changshan's house, when he saw Chen Zuliang, the deputy commander of the third company of the guards who stayed here, leading Fang's sister-in-law and cute little niece in.

Wu Ming didn't have to think about it to know that Lu Dao was Chen Qian, who was hiding in the military station next door, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped forward with a smile, and picked up the cute little niece and teased her: "Yo, the little girl is getting more and more beautiful, who gave you such ugly braids?" ”

The four-year-old little niece held Wu Ming's face, looked at it carefully, pursed her beautiful little mouth, and asked in a milky voice: "Uncle, my brother and I miss you, but my mother said that Dad made you angry, and you won't come to our house in the future, right?" ”

"Nonsense, Uncle has been very busy lately, and he doesn't have time, so I'm going to Hangzhou Gongyu again later, let's talk about it when I come back...... If our little baby has time, after a while, ask your mother to take you to Changshan's grandparents' house to play for a few days, and then the uncle comes back, won't we meet? Wu Ming fooled the child with a smile on his face.

Sister-in-law Fang was worried: "Little brother, what does your family have to say that is not negotiable?" Your eldest brother is not having a good time during this time, not to mention that he has lost a lot of weight, sighing all night and can't sleep, I'm afraid that the iron will fall down if it goes on like this, can you go and discuss it calmly with him again? Sister, please."

Wu Ming sighed, handed the child to Sister-in-law Fang, looked at the watch and nodded slightly:

"Well, I'll go see him in an hour...... In fact, my requirements are not high, just let him slowly, if not, the monthly tax will be half first, and it will be completely handed over to him on January 1 next year, but he is a bull temper, and he can't turn a corner, alas, sister, you go back, I know how to do it. ”
