Tian Zhenggang's question caused Wu Ming to be silent for a while.

After a long while, Wu Ming slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the long scar on Shimoda Zhenggang's left cheek that was blown up by the grenade:

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, big brother, I don't want to fight a civil war, I just want to bury my head in training and deal with the Japanese army that is about to invade our land in an all-out way at any time. Don't look at the greed of the eldest brother, all this is planning for the future war, not a penny of money flows into the eldest brother's pocket, and the eldest brother often fills it with his own money, you will slowly understand in the future. ”

"Again, Yu Shizuo also knew that I didn't want to fight a civil war, but he needed me to recruit soldiers for him and train for him batch after batch of soldiers who were better than the main forces of the Central Army, so he let me go like this...... To put it bluntly, everyone tacitly takes what they need. ”

Tian Zhenggang finally understood Wu Ming's distress, and the last knot in his heart was lifted: "I understand that in fact, I am the same as my eldest brother, and I don't want to fight a civil war, the duty of a soldier is to defend the country, and I should not the eldest brother in the same room, I will listen to you in the future, you say to the east, the younger brother will never go west"

"There's a in saying this, what if you go north and south?" Wu Ming deliberately made a joke.

Tian Zhenggang was stunned for a moment, and then protested loudly: "Big brother, why do you have so many curves in your stomach?" Is there a commander like you who blows the confidence of your subordinates? ”

Wu Mingha smiled, pulled Tian Zhenggang, strode back to the headquarters of the West Courtyard, washed up a little and went to bed to make up for sleep, not at all worried that Lu Zhongxiu and Jiang Boqing, who had only been put back at dawn, would come to him for trouble.

Indeed, Lu Zhongxiu and Jiang Boqing really didn't dare to trouble Wu Ming, Lu Zhongxiu, who was almost a victim of the struggle at the top, was very worried about causing trouble again, and although he couldn't take away the materials in the military warehouse, these things were not his money, although he didn't care too much about it, he could go to Yongjia and buy it slowly.

Yongjia is the Wenzhou of later generations, known for its developed handicraft industry in history, the Southern Song Dynasty was opened as a foreign trade port, the economy of the Ming and Qing dynasties achieved great development, and the late Qing Dynasty was opened up as a treaty port after the signing of the Yantai Treaty, and the economic development was more rapid, so in a sense, Lu Zhongxiu was transferred from Quzhou to Yongjia, and did not suffer.

In fact, if you want to play really, Lu Zhongxiu is not afraid of Wu Ming taking the accounts of the quartermaster warehouse and the confessions of several quartermasters to blackmail him, it's a big deal to throw out a few substitute ghosts, anyway, he is going to take office in the tenth district of southern Zhejiang, and the think tank under his command has already gone to Yongjia to fight in advance.

What made Lu Zhongxiu deeply scruple was that Wu Ming, a madman, used all kinds of despicable means, and no one knew what he would do after Lu Dao annoyed him, which was very scary.

With Lu Zhongxiu's current status and reputation, he can't afford to have a hard time with the brigade commander of a local security force, not to mention that Wu Ming's eldest brother, CC Department Yu will take over Fang Youchun as Quzhou Commissioner, if he is entangled by Fang Youchun because of cleaning up Wu Ming, things will be bigger, even if he wins after a game, he must always be on guard against the CC Department's ruthless revenge and political conspiracy that does not know when.

Therefore, when Jiang Boqing, the subordinate general, ran to him angrily and told him that most of the officers and soldiers of the two battalions of the headquarters had run away, and they were still running to the north camp of the city controlled by Wu Ming with weapons and equipment, Lu Zhongxiu just sighed, without any intention of pursuing it, but ordered Jiang Boqing to control the guards of the two companies of the headquarters and prepare for departure as soon as possible.

Jiang Boqing asked unwillingly: "What about a Buick car and twelve trucks that were impounded in the military camp in the north of the city?" Only the cars and five trucks in it belong to the headquarters, and the others are temporarily borrowed from the local rich gentry, so it's hard to explain if you don't return them."

Lu Zhongxiu thought for a moment and smiled very generously: "Nearly a million military supplies are willing to let go, why care about a few trucks?" As for the vehicles of the local rich gentry, you can send someone to say hello to them, and say that they were forcibly detained by Wu Ming, and let them find Wu Ming to reason with them. Aren't there still a few cars left in the headquarters and administration? These cars were bought at the beginning of the year, packed up with gas, and took them all with you when you left. ”

"Yes......"

Jiang Boqing left unwillingly, thinking about how to provoke a few local clans while walking, and he couldn't move Wu Ming to make him a little trouble, but he could also relieve his anger, where did he know that the local gentry learned about the inside story of the decline of the Liao family, and now they are talking about Wu Ming's tiger color, who would dare to go to Wu Ming's trouble?

For the stupid thing that a few trucks provoked Wu Ming's thoughts, no one would let Fang Youchun, a few big clans, come back to take over the position of commissioner, I am afraid that they would immediately think about how to give Wu Ming a big gift.

Therefore, Jiang Boqing's efforts were destined to be fruitless.

On the morning of the next day, the brand-new railway station located in the south of Quzhou City was crowded, inside and outside were full of soldiers and civilians welcoming Fang Youchun to take office, Quzhou General Chamber of Commerce and Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce mobilized more than 7,000 people, beating gongs and drums to welcome Fang Youchun, the whole station inside and outside was made jubilant by a group of leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, only the big red banners full of welcome slogans were as many as more than 50 faces.

The brothers of the two engineer companies under Wu Ming's command and the brothers of the border guards of the three companies who had just taken refuge all changed into brand-new military uniforms, wearing steel helmets and guarding the inside and outside.

Wu Ming, who had a bit of a bad taste, also invited 500 teachers and students from Quzhou Industrial College to welcome him in a queue with hastily collected flowers.

Zhong Laoer's metal products factory was closed for a day, and more than 600 workers dressed in neat blue fine canvas overalls, holding colorful flags, lined up on both sides of the waiting hall with smiles on their faces.

To Wu Ming's surprise, the surrounding villagers and people in the city who like to watch the excitement flocked to each other, and everyone inquired about each other, and learned that it was the original Commander Fang who came back to serve as the commissioner of Quzhou, and immediately cheered, all of them were very nostalgic for Fang Youchun's good deeds of revoking a large number of tax cards during his reign, and they were full of expectations for the fair and honest Fang Youchun.

More and more people gathered from all directions, and the voices became louder and louder, Wu Ming, who received the report, quietly ran out of the city to see, and the enthusiastic scene of at least 20,000 people gathering frightened him.

Wu Ming returned to the platform, quietly looked at Lu Zhongxiu, who had just led the officials at all levels of the administration to greet him, and saw his gloomy face and unconcealed sad and indignant eyes, he couldn't help but be happy, thinking that your grandson also has today, how much did Lao Tzu and his eldest brother lose by squeezing Lao Tzu and his eldest brother like that, so that Lao Tzu lost his broken arm to survive...... Now it's finally Lao Tzu's turn to squeeze you, you still have to accept Lao Tzu's run, think about the scene when you took office and few people greeted you, and then look at the scene when my eldest brother was welcomed by tens of millions of people, I must feel uncomfortable, maybe after millions of people in western Zhejiang go back, I quickly deduced from this strong contrast who won the hearts of the people and who was unpopular

As the majestic and melodious whistle of the train came, Wu Ming immediately walked up to the military band that had only been improvised by more than a dozen school teachers and students, and gave a few words of instructions to the music teacher of the industrial school who was wearing highly myopic glasses but wearing the dress of a major in the security forces.

The excited music teacher immediately raised his baton, paused in mid-air for a moment and waved it suddenly, and a majestic "March of the Great Sword" rang out.

Inside and outside the railway station, the sound of joy was thunderous and amazing
