Huanggu Town Chen Mansion.

The candlelight is bright, the atmosphere is warm, and the dishes are exquisite and fragrant.

Wu Ming and Chen Jiyao and his wife and sister Chen Yi sat around the sumptuous banquet, chatting while eating, laughing and laughing, and after a while, Chen San and Chengyuan, who came back from giving gifts, also joined in, Wu Ming and Chengyuan raised their glasses again, wishing Chen Jiyao and the third aunt and Chen San good health.

Putting down the cup, Wu Ming climbed on Chengyuan's shoulder and asked Chen Jiyao: "Do your predecessors remember him?" ”

Chen Jiyao looked at the smiling Chengyuan carefully, and smiled embarrassedly for a while: "The face is a little familiar, but I can't remember it, he is ......."

Wu Ming grinned and slapped Cheng Yuan on the back, and Cheng Yuan stood up respectfully: "Junior Cheng Yuan, the family teacher is upright, I remember that I followed my master to the house four times when I was a child...... In recent years, the younger generations have grown up fast, and Uncle Chen can't remember it. ”

Chen Jiyao was taken aback, quickly stood up and walked to Chengyuan's side, took Chengyuan's hand and looked up and down, and laughed non-stop: "You little guy, you have grown so tall...... How could your master let you go back to being a soldier? ”

"The younger generation secretly went to be a soldier with the eldest brother, and the master didn't say anything after his hometown, but he agreed, hehe" After half a year of military training, and then through Wu Ming's words and deeds, Chengyuan is now much more mature, and very shrewd, and his gestures are naturally filled with the unique momentum of a soldier.

The third wife also exclaimed, everyone laughed for a while before sitting down again, and the third aunt finally seized the opportunity to ask Wu Ming about Wang Yuehan's news:

"Not long after you wrote last time, we and Yuehan's family received letters and photos from her from Shanghai, but unfortunately she only said in the letter that she has now been transferred to the army, and she never mentioned which unit is working and where she works, saying that she will come back to visit us after she is busy for the past two years, but she has repeatedly reassured us ......"

But how can we rest assured? Now that the world is so chaotic, one of her daughters' family is running around, and it is estimated that she is still in the most dangerous intelligence work, and she is worried when she thinks about it."

Wu Ming didn't know how to interface with the Dao, Chen Yi didn't care and said, "Mom, you are outdated, what age are you now?" Women can still make a career, I like my sister-in-law's daring character, if I have the opportunity, I will serve the country like her. ”

"The dead girl will be cranky all day long, and she doesn't know that the world is sinister." The third aunt scolded her daughter next to her with disgust, but Chen Yi continued to eat with her mouth curled.

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Since she has a letter back, and she has been transferred to the army, she doesn't have to worry too much about safety or anything, and it is estimated that the work she is engaged in is more special, maybe she has to go abroad in addition to running all over the country, this situation is normal in the army...... My new 10th Brigade has such a department, and there are a few brothers in it who have been working outside for many years and have very few opportunities to wear uniforms, so I can understand it, and I ask you not to worry too much. ”

Chen Jiyao sighed faintly: "Can you not worry?" The daughter-in-law's shadow is gone, and the son is not angry, he ran all over China to find someone, and the position of the section chief of the Nanjing camp who was the most good after the most Lu was also lost, and now he can only be named in the provincial party department, and he will not come back to see it during the New Year's holidays, so he will be transferred back to the Shangrao Administration He is unwilling, and he is angry that he must find a woman who is a hundred times stronger than Yuehan to come back, and he will not listen to any persuasion, alas, my old face has made this unfilial son lose everything. ”

Wu Ming was silent, and Cheng Yuan, who knew the inside story, secretly glanced at Wu Ming, whose face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and he was very emotional and admired the cheeky and black-hearted eldest brother in his heart.

After Chen Jiyao sighed, the originally relaxed and lively atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and even Chen Yi didn't dare to speak, he wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity tonight to beg Wu Ming to allow her to enter the field hospital of the new 10th Brigade, and he didn't dare to mention it again when he saw that her parents had a bad face.

Wu Ming seemed to see Chen Yi's thoughts, coughed lightly, and took the initiative to solve Chen Yi's problems:

"Two seniors, I heard Dai Ziran say that I have obtained the consent of you and his family, and I am going to get married to Chen Yi in the summer, Dai Ziran approached me for Chen Yi's work a few years ago, hoping to recruit Chen Yi into our field hospital, I didn't promise him at that time, I want to ask for your opinion."

The third aunt was too energetic: "This girl came back and made trouble with us many times, let her go back to the western hospital in the city, she was unwilling to live or die, and said that marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog will enter the army, and if you marry a soldier, you will enter the army, and you will be angry with me, is the army so easy to enter?" Even if you have your brother to take care of her, what if she goes to the front line with the army to fight after she goes in? Our family is just one of her baby daughters, how can we live if we have three long and two short? ”

"Mom-"

Chen Yi cried out dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to speak after seeing her mother's stern eyes.

Chen Jiyao saw that Wu Ming had been listening with a smile, and asked in a low voice after a little consideration: "It stands to reason that our daughter is married to Lu, and we can't help it, and Ziran is a soldier, and it is understandable that Chen Yi joined the army with him, we as parents can't let the couple not see each other for a long time for our own ideas, right?" But when I think of going to fight with the army, my heart is full of ups and downs, and I can't let go of my mind when I think about it."

Wu Ming nodded understandingly: "That's true, but if Chen Yi really wants to enter our field hospital, it's not impossible, and she doesn't need to go to the battlefield with the army, it is estimated that the people of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce have also told you that our army has a long-established training base in Phoenix Mountain in the northeast of Maoliangwu, and there are one or two regiments training in it at any time, and a battalion led by Tian Zhenggang of Tianjia Village is stationed there, and most of the soldiers of the famous general of the Central Army, Chief Yu Jichang, and several regiments of Chief Chen Cheng have been trained there, The officers and men of our 10th Brigade and the garrison of the Quartermaster Department were trained from that place, so we set up an affiliated hospital of a field hospital in the east of Maoliangwu Town and in the middle of the Phoenix Mountain base. ”

"This affiliated hospital not only serves the officers and soldiers of our training base, but also treats Mao Liangwu and the elders and villagers within a radius of 30 miles, the scale of the hospital is more than ten times larger than the western hospital you opened in Shangrao County, and it has the most advanced medical equipment in the country, and Chen Yi's 50 interns have now entered the field hospital for a one-year internship, and these 50 people were personally selected by me to be sent to Hangzhou Church Medical College for further study, including four female doctors......"

"After this group of people returns to school to receive their graduation certificates at the end of the internship period, they will officially put on military uniforms and become military doctors in our field hospital, and the four female doctors are estimated to be assigned to work in the affiliated hospital of Maoliangwu to serve the officers and soldiers of the training base and the nearby villagers, and there is no need to follow the troops to the north and south. If the two seniors are relieved, let Chen Yi enter our field hospital, first, you can be with Dai Ziran often, and second, you don't have to fight with the army, you can rest assured, the most important thing is that it is not far from home, whether Chen Yi is free to come back, or it is very convenient for you to go to see her. ”

"Xie Lu, little brother Xie, you are so good"

Chen Yi jumped up happily, ran to Wu Ming's side and hugged his arm and thanked him, which made Wu Ming quite embarrassed.

After cooperating with the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, Chen Jiyao and his wife knew the wealth and tranquility of Maoliangwu very well, and they also heard several leaders of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce show off the grandeur of the Phoenix Mountain Training Base and the affiliated hospital, so the two discussed for a while, and immediately agreed happily, so that Chen Yi was so happy that he didn't eat anymore, and ran back to his boudoir to write a letter to Dai Ziran.

Chen Jiyao, who had put down a big concern, was very happy, looked at Wu Ming with a smile, and asked with concern: "This time you hurriedly came to recruit troops, are you ready to fight?"

Wu Ming nodded: "Soon, in the next ten years, I'm afraid most of China will be in flames, this time in addition to recruiting troops, I just want to tell you about the war...... If the two Guangxi do not give up their own propositions, they will definitely have to fight a war, in fact, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Japanese will fight in less than two years, maybe you don't understand how significant the central monetary reform that began last year, I will tell you now. ”

"Although there are such and such problems in the monetary reform policy of the central government, the Confucian and Song families in this reform to the public and private behavior is even more criticized by the world, and because of the recognition and support of the foreign powers, the central government has made huge concessions to Britain and the United States, paying the price of hundreds of millions of silver, which has enabled the successful completion of the currency reform. It is precisely because of the success of the currency reform that Japan's interests have been seriously harmed, and a large number of banks run by traitors and compradors supported by the Japanese have been nationalized, which has not only caused heavy losses to Japan, which has long plundered China's wealth through economic means, but also means that China has alienated itself from the ambitious Japan and thrown itself into the camp of Britain and the United States. ”

"Therefore, it has only been more than a year since there have been one major incident after another in North China, and I estimate that Japan has accelerated its preparations for a full-scale war of aggression against China, and it will start fighting by next summer at the latest."

Chen Jiyao and his wife were shocked, and Master Chen San was also frightened, but Chengyuan, who had no heart, was still holding a chicken leg and gnawing it with relish.

"Will it hit us in Jiangxi?" After all, Chen Jiyao is an experienced reader, and he began to worry.

Wu Ming nodded: "It is estimated that the war will affect Jiangxi within a year after the start of the war." Although our army is large in number, its equipment is backward and lacks training, and except for the 20 or so main divisions of the Central Army, the rest are not ready for a battle, and this is the fundamental reason why the central government has frequently reorganized local troops and imported a large number of German and American weapons and equipment since the beginning of the year. ”

"I came to recruit this time to prepare for the next step of expansion, and from now on, we will recruit for a long time, as long as we pass the physical examination, as many as we want...... I intend to form two divisions within the next two years, and this plan has been approved by my old commander, General Yu Jishi, and has received his strong support. ”

Chen Jiyao nodded slightly, looked at Wu Ming with a worried face, and finally said a sentence that moved the house: "I don't worry about you."

Wu Ming's nose was sour, he raised his head to look at the ceiling, and suddenly smiled and suggested to Chen Jiyao:

"If the seniors are willing, transfer the coal mine and all the business out of the village as soon as possible, sell the fields and mountains and forests to the villagers at a low price, anyway, the money of the Chen Mansion will not be used up for three generations, enough for the younger generations to go back, build a yard for the seniors in Maoliangwu, once the war burns here, you can move to Maoliangwu to avoid it, with me there, no one wants to enter Maoliangwu"

"Okay, senior, I'm a little tired, go take a shower and then rest, I have to rush to Jiangshan County early tomorrow morning, preside over the defense handover of the traffic corps directly under the Quartermaster Department and our regiment, from now on, my troops will no longer be responsible for the defense of the border areas of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and will leave western Zhejiang to go to war......"
