Section 64 It's the New Year

However, Wang Yaowu's attention to Zhang Lingfu was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, just when Zhang Lingfu was about to live here in Yifeng for a long time, the notice of the military department was directly sent to the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment, and even Wang Yaowu sent an adjutant of the military department to welcome Zhang Lingfu back for ten thousand years, and it is said that the new post order came down.

For this matter, everyone is naturally happy, Zhang Lingfu only returned from Hong Kong soon received the news of the new appointment, obviously the army commander has already reserved a place for him to wait for him to come back, from this point alone can be seen, although Wang Yaowu let Li Tianxia be the commander of the 51st Division, but Zhang Lingfu is also very fond of Zhang Lingfu, Wang Junchang's Zhang Li competition pattern, I am afraid will continue to continue, this is obviously an important means for Wang Junchang to control the troops. Of course, they can only think about these things in their hearts, after all, the rivalry between the two still stems from Li Tianxia's jealousy.

Shi was also very happy to hear the news, and he had to pull Zhang Lingfu to stay for one more night, and at the same time, he also held a banquet for the adjutant who came to Yifeng. His hospitality naturally made the people who came from Wanzai have no choice, thinking that whether it is Commander Shi or Chief Zhang's official status, they are far from being comparable to them, so naturally they can only turn a blind eye. Zhang Lingfu can only smile, this little brother of the stone is really getting more and more interesting, think about the situation when I saw him for the first time, two years ago, this was still an "idiot" who cowered in the trench and didn't know anything.

On the second day, Zhang Lingfu specially inscribed a pair of stones before leaving, which was a pair of "white-headed old together, a hundred years together." The couplet is a compensatory gift to Shi and Wang Qianqian's newlywed jubilee that he did not arrive.

Don't underestimate this simple pair of words, Zhang Lingfu's calligraphy is famous all over the country, and his title of "Confucian General" also comes from this, as his military exploits become more and more prominent, the official position is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people asking him for words. However, there are not many people who can make Zhang Lingfu take the initiative to send a pair, and the stone is undoubtedly one of them. For this gift, the stone is also quite fond of it, and immediately let people frame it and hang it in the bedroom as a solemnity.

On the third day after Zhang Lingfu left, he also specially sent someone to send the news, in fact, the stone had already heard about it before, Zhang Lingfu was transferred to the position of deputy commander of the 58th Division, and he rose by half a level, although the 58th Division was Yu Jishi's old capital, and the current division commander was also Yu Jishi's old subordinate, but now Yu Jishi and Feng Shengfa have formed a new army, and Wang Yaowu naturally has to strengthen his control over the 58th Division. On the one hand, let Li Tianxia and Zhang Lingfu be temporarily separated, and no longer consume their own strength because of infighting, on the other hand, Zhang Lingfu himself has extremely strong abilities in all aspects, and his killing is unusually decisive, and such a fierce general is transferred to the 58th Division, which can greatly enrich the 58th Division and prevent a decline in combat effectiveness due to the transfer of Yu Jishi, Feng Shengfa, and others. It should be said that although Zhang Lingfu went to the 58th Division to serve as the deputy division commander, it is obvious that with his position in Wang Yaowu's heart, the power of the 58th Division is likely to be held by him.

Shi was also happy for Zhang Lingfu, and after thinking about it, with Zhang Lingfu's transfer to the 58th Division, he had acquaintances in various divisions of the 74th Army, especially the deputy commanders of the three main divisions were actually familiar with him, what a coincidence! Needless to say, the deputy commander of the 51st Division, Zhou Zhidao, was his old superior, the deputy commander of the 57th Division, Yu Chengwan, fought side by side with him when he was in Dacheng, and the deputy commander of the 58th Division was Zhang Lingfu. Shi couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly when he thought of this, it seems that with the continuous improvement of his military status, the level of people he has met is getting higher and higher, once upon a time, a staff officer from a brigade headquarters once made him helpless.

In the following days, the stone was completely idle, and Lin Xiufeng was in charge of the affairs of various places in Yifeng, with Hu Linglong, Lao Zhou, Zhao Niangzi and others cooperating and assisting on the side, and all systems and orders could be implemented in the shortest possible time, especially when they thought of the bloody massacre at the gate of the county government, everyone shuddered, with this kind of bloody lesson in front of them, who would think that their lives were long?

As for the affairs of the independent regiment, the contact with the military department is in charge of Wu Zihuai, the chief of staff, and the commanders of the defense battalions in various parts of the county are divided according to the region, and they deploy their own manpower to supplement the battalion training. After handing over the specific affairs to the people below, you only need to do a good job of grasping the overall situation, which is far more efficient than being busy by yourself.

That's fine, at least for the first time in two years, he has time to do something of his own. The year is approaching, the stone let people prepare a lot of things, and then take Wang Qianqian to visit the veterans of the battalions, especially some baggage companies, transport companies and civilian battalions, there are many disabled veterans, in this kind of year, the stone is not worried about these homeless robe brothers to go back, so he left them in the army and did his best to take care of them. Now, the independent regiment has finally settled down, life is more comfortable, and the lives of these veterans have improved a lot.

The arrival of the stone and Wang Qianqian naturally made them happy, and many people even burst into tears, the stone is still the same stone, he has not forgotten his roots, he has not forgotten these old brothers. Looking at these soldiers who had fought several times on the ghost gate, many soldiers who had their arms cut off in hand-to-hand combat with the devil and still bit the devil to death with their teeth burst into tears, and the stone was also emotional. At this time, he couldn't help but think of Zheng Pusheng, Lao Meng, Zhuzi, and Chen Daaxe, two years, two years of fighting, countless brothers around him fell, those faces became more and more blurred in his mind, and the time to think of them became less and less. But without the succession of these brothers, without the protection of life and death in these robes, how could they have lived such a stable life now, and how could they have survived until now?

The stone asked Wang Qianqian to go back, he stayed, stayed in the barracks to eat a big pot of rice with these wounded, and slept in the military tent together, at this moment he seemed to have returned to two years ago, back to the original Luodian. This night, he slept exceptionally sweetly and soundly.

Early the next morning, the veterans and wounded took the initiative to line up to bid farewell to the stone, knowing that the independent regiment had been expanded, and that the stone was not the same as before. Now, the lives of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people are all related to the stone, and the land they have bought with their blood and life needs to be guarded by stone, and the stone can no longer live with them day and night as before. However, to be able to fight side by side with a Shangguan like Shishi, and to live and die with such a fierce general, for them, this life is already content.

The New Year has arrived unconsciously, and in the sound of firecrackers, the people of Yifeng and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment have ushered in another new year.

Compared with the people in other places, the people in Yifeng are undoubtedly the luckiest, the displaced people have nothing, you can imagine the end of the uproot, most of them starve to death and freeze to death, but now they not only have food and clothing, but even have their own fields temporarily. Although the house is dilapidated, and there are only some pickles on the dining table, the crops under the thick snow cover are their hope, as long as winter goes to spring, and when the spring flowers bloom, the grain is harvested, and the whole family has hope of life.

And the local people in Yifeng are also emotional, in the past, the closer the New Year, the more worried they are, those horse thieves and bandits who usually hide in the mountains often go down the mountain to plunder every New Year's Day, either slaughtered on the spot, or are coerced to go up the mountain, who wants to abandon their wives and children to go up the mountain to be bandits? Now, the thieves and horse bandits are gone, the sky of Yifeng is suddenly clear, although they are not like those displaced people can rent the land of the military masters, but the government encourages the development of wasteland, these newly opened fields are not only classified as their personal ownership, but also enjoy the favorable conditions of one year exemption from paying grain tax, under this huge stimulation, they burst out with unimaginable passion and strength, for a time the entire Yifeng has almost become fertile land, and all the places that can be cultivated have the sweat of their labor.

After a few months, they have endured a lot of hardships and sweated a lot, but during the New Year, after all, they are all smiling, although today's labor is more bitter than working for the former landlord's family, but it is worth it, after all, it is hard for themselves, for their own families.

Now that the Chinese New Year is over, the family gathers together, talking about next year's harvest, discussing Yifeng's thriving development scene, everyone is emotional, or these military masters are powerful, can fight devils, will do practical things, with them, the sky will fall and don't have to worry. The rare laughter is also on everyone's face, although there are still dishes on the face, and the spirit of each one is not at all what the people in other places can have.

In the backyard of the county government, the stone also invited the main officers of the independent regiment to come, and everyone gathered together, although the personnel in the team have not changed much, but the position and identity have been different from usual, at this moment they sit around a large table, looking at the dishes on the table, and can't help but move their index fingers one by one, after so long, they can finally eat a good meal here in the stone, what usually impresses them the most, is the kind of black cake that the stone eats, which is made of bran and flour, in addition to being full, It's really hard to swallow, this situation didn't gradually change until after the stone got married, looking at Wang Qianqian, who was busy before and after, they couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have a woman!
