After the Spring Festival, the fighting in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces gradually stopped, and the garrisons in the border areas of Zhejiang and Jiangxi were then lifted from combat readiness.

Wu Ming didn't dare to slack off, rushed to Shangrao overnight, and immediately got a separate summons from Yu Jishi, Yu Jishi didn't have any polite words, and directly handed Wu Ming a few documents stamped with the big seal of the General Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters, and told him to read it first.

After reading the documents and orders in his hand, Wu Ming learned that the pursuit and suppression column of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and Fujian was ordered to form the 51st Division of the Central Army, and the division commander was Wang Yaowu of the first phase of Huangpu, and the new 8th Brigade and the 9th Brigade under the command of Yu Jishi were renamed the 151st Brigade and the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division.

The 51 st Division, which has been formed, has left for Wuhan this morning and is about to clear and pursue the Red Army in the border areas of Hubei, Sichuan, and Hunan provinces.

Wu Ming put down the document and asked Yu Jishi, who was slightly tired, "Where will the master seat go?" ”

Yu Jishi did not conceal Wu Ming's intentions, and according to the truth: "After handing over the six regiments of the Shangrao Security Force to the General Commander for further reorganization, I will lead the newly formed Seventh Brigade to Yichang, Hubei, and merge with the 58th Division stationed in Yichang, with me as the division commander." The 58th Division stationed in Yichang was a local armed force in Henan Province during the Great War in the Central Plains, and the whole division had only 4,000 people, but it had been paid for two years according to the full number of 11,000 people. ”

Wu Ming nodded and did not speak, his mood was very complicated.

Yu Jishi smiled: "Don't worry, the one-year deadline I promised you has not yet arrived, and your new 10th Brigade number will remain unchanged for the time being, continue to stay in western Zhejiang, recruit and train new soldiers for me, and at the same time, I must also shoulder the task of safety and security of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway before the garrison of the Quartermaster Department arrives." If you want to achieve the goal of opening to traffic at the end of the year, you must ensure the safety of the railway construction, which is also the biggest reason why I can let you stay for the time being, understand? ”

Wu Ming smiled, and was very reluctant, so when he told Yu Ji the truth about the army building plan of the headquarters, he said very sincerely: "Division, before the end of the year, the subordinates will definitely be able to complete the army building plan of the department, and the division will be dispatched at that time." ”

Yu Jishi was very satisfied: "With your words, I will rest assured that after I leave, the temporary command system of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui-Fujian pursuit column will also be revoked, I have obtained the consent of the commission, and your department will be temporarily hung under the name of the quartermaster's signature, and temporarily shoulder the task of safety and security of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway. ”

Yu Jishi's sentence "It's all your own people don't need to be polite" seems to be ordinary, even a little careless, but the content of the bread is extremely important.

Wu Ming's face was full of astonishment at first, and then he stood up silently and saluted Yu Jishi solemnly: "Xie Lu's subordinates have always been reluctant to say beautiful words such as 'going to the soup and going to the fire, but the subordinates understand it in their hearts, and they have long regarded the division seat as their old chief, and they are also the only old chief."

"Today, my subordinates here also have a sentence to say to the division: the subordinates will never join any other army, and when they go back, they will bury themselves in training, and while helping the division to recruit new recruits for strict training, they will definitely bring out a well-known mountain combat unit, which will wait for the call of the division at any time after the one-year term."

"Okay, I didn't misread you Wu Ming"

Yu Jishi was overjoyed, stepped forward and took Wu Ming's hand, and shook it tightly: "Come, sit down and say slowly, there are still a lot of things I want to tell you......"

Yu Jishi personally made a cup of tea for Wu Ming, and after sitting down again, he briefly told Wu Ming about Chiang Kai-shek's army reorganization plan, and said regretfully:

"Originally, I wanted to transfer you to the 58th Division as the deputy division commander and chief of staff, but considering the previous commitment to you, I had to give it up temporarily, so your name was not included in the list of the first batch of generals in the Military Committee's Quanxu Hall, so I'm afraid your colonel's collar badge will have to be worn for another year."

Wu Mingha smiled: "I thought it was something important, did you need to be so solemn?" His subordinates have been in the army for less than five years, and they have the status they have now, and they are content."

"Really content?" Yu Jishi asked with a smile.

Wu Ming nodded: "It's not that my subordinates don't know the benefits of being promoted to general, but my subordinates want to kill the position of general with real swords, otherwise they will be deserved."

Yu Jishi sighed with emotion, he believed Wu Ming's words, and he was very aware of Wu Ming's unique character and arrogance, so he did not continue this topic, but ordered Wu Ming to immediately notify the Changshan military camp to send a convoy to bring back all the weapons and ammunition, military uniforms and other war materials hoarded in the encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area that were not used, so as to save him the burden of increasing his long-distance march.

Wu Ming was overjoyed, and immediately followed Yu Jishi's instructions, he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't express his position today, not only would he not have any benefits, but he might also face the doom of being requisitioned or even split, even if it wasn't now, it would definitely not last for half a year.

On the morning of the next day, Yu Jishi personally sent Wu Ming to three miles outside the city, and told Wu Ming in detail before parting:

"The conclusion that the former chairman of Zhejiang Province, Lu Diping, died of a cerebral hemorrhage has been recognized by the central government, and the noisy public opinion has basically subsided, and there will be no other twists and turns, and the new chairman of Zhejiang Province, Huang Shao, is a person who can write and martial arts, and has a clear distinction between love and hate, and he has made remarkable achievements in Guangxi for five years, not only is he good at training, but also has rich experience in the development of industry and commerce, and he can be regarded as a trusted general."

"However, it is a pity that there are still many differences between the chairman of the committee and the chairman of the new province on the issue of the new Gui faction that refuses to cooperate, and there may be variables on this issue in the future, so ......"

Yu Jishi lowered his voice and asked Wu Ming: "Next, you have to deal with it carefully, if Huang Shao has an order, try to cooperate if you can, if there is a conflict, you would rather keep a low profile, if you are short of money, directly ask Qi Ke, the station supervisor of Quzhou Military Station, to help, don't meddle in local affairs, but there is no need to worry about anything...... With Huang Shao's shrewdness, he would not be unaware of the particularity of the newly formed 10th Brigade of Lu Dao, even if he didn't know it for a while, he would quickly figure it out. ”

Wu Ming agreed one by one, and after returning to Changshan, he immediately convened a meeting of officers above the battalion commander under his command, and then rushed to Quzhou, discussed with Qi Ke, the superintendent of the military station, all night, and finally came up with a charter.
