Chapter 14: Advanced (1)

In the Hongjing Hotel, Li Shigui greeted him with a smile: "I originally wanted to let Tianzong stay in my one-third of an acre of land, but I thought it was inappropriate, if I let your Mr. Dai's people know that you have stayed with me, I am afraid that it will leave a strong mark in the file." Mo Di also smiled and said, "I admit that I am not as good as you, you are free to move, and you can go to my lair to drink my happy wine at will, but I dare not go to you." Thank you, old classmate, for being thoughtful for me. ”

There are only four people in the reception banquet, Sun Cheng's people sent Mo Di to Anqing, and returned overnight, they knew that sending Mo Di to Anqing would eventually have a farewell, and sending Mo Di to Anqing was already their greatest ability. Li Shigui didn't ask anyone else to accompany him, and only brought his wife. Mrs. Li is about 30 years old, and she looks like she is from a big family, wearing a thin tweed Western-style suit, small lapels, floral bow tie, small leather shoes under her feet, her hair is not long, made into small rolls, draped on the back of her head, and she is very stylish.

As soon as the two entered the private room, Mrs. Li greeted Zhou Shiming enthusiastically. I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods, standing with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Mo Zhou Shiming is much more immature, like a student and a teacher. Mrs. Li was relaxed, while Mrs. Mo was a little restrained, but fortunately, Mrs. Li accepted it and soon had a good conversation. Mo Di glanced at Li Shigui, and then at Mrs. Li, and the first feeling was that Li Shigui was not as much as Mrs. Li, or that the master of the Li Mansion was in charge of the house.

The large round table in the private room was abandoned, and the mahjong table, which is usually used for leisure, became a dining place, and the four people sat on the prince's chair in the four directions of the card table, which was also comfortable and casual.

On the card table, a pot of fine Keemun black tea was brewing to taste, Mrs. Li elegantly propped up her orchid fingers, poured four cups, and diligently sent the first cup to Zhou Shiming, and said with a smile: "Lady first, don't be surprised by classmate Mo." ”

Mo Di hurriedly shook his hand, and listened intently to Li Shigui's words in his ears: "Last time in Lujiang, I fell for your kid's evil deeds. It was only when I returned that I learned that it was not Li Benyi or Zhou Mengxiong who shot at me, it was you kid. If I had known it was you, I would definitely not have gone north, and as soon as I went out, I would have found a reason to go home. ”

Mo Die laughed: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." You, General Li, won't even forget this! ”

"It's not that I forget, it's that I know the other too well." Li Shigui said with an unbearable expression: "The situation from Anqing to the front line of Hefei, the Anqing Garrison Command can be said to know it well, and the intelligence department once claimed that the Gui army around Anqing, whatever the chief officer of the unit ate every day, and pulled a few bubbles of, it was clear, and later I learned that it was real bragging." The intelligence department didn't investigate that your kid actually appeared in Lujiang with the 138th Division, let alone that your field supplement regiment was actually a fast force that could appear in Baidang Lake at lightning speed. The most hateful is Liu Renkai of Huanzi Lake, the previous information was that he was a lake bandit, after Caojialou was attacked, he still thought that it was a lake bandit by accident. If I hadn't seen him at your wedding this time, I wouldn't have known that Liu Bu was actually the Zongyang Garrison Regiment of the Tonglu Ungarrison Command, and the last time I attacked our department in Caojialou, it was part of your combat plan. However, according to my observation, he has a good relationship with Lin Weixian of the Red Army, and it is estimated that his identity is not so simple. ”

Mo Di explained with a smile: "Liu Renkai can survive in a Jiahua area like Tongdong in Zongyang, and he doesn't have the ability to talk to people and tell ghosts!" It's like Liu Jin, the head of the Gaohebu garrison under you, and his relationship with us is also quite harmonious, you can't say that his identity is also problematic, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's that." Liu Jin's relationship with the national army is false and wrong, not only Li Shigui knows, Liu Zuoxin knows, and even Kiyono Naoyuki also knows, and his attitude towards Liu Jin has always been acquiescing. Because of the place in Gaohebu, if Liu Jin's policy is not adopted, how much will be collected by the national army, and Jiang Qingguo, who was sent before, is an example.

The dish is served, the dish is very exquisite, the portion is not much, and the color and flavor are complete. First, four small bowls of chicken soup were brought in with an insulated steamer, which was still hot after being served, and four small portions of fried rice were served aside. The little girl who served the food put a delicate little spoon in each small bowl and said, "You can drink a little chicken soup, this soup is an old soup that has been boiled for four hours, and the condiments that are specially prepared by the store are added to it, and the soup is rich and delicious." According to Xiaomei's instructions, the four of them drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup, and sure enough, as Xiaomei said, the chicken taste was pure, like Cantonese-style old fire soup. At this time, I heard Xiaomei say: "You can pour the fried rice in front of you into the chicken soup, which is another flavor, this is our famous chicken soup fried rice in Anqing, please use it slowly." "When I pour the fried rice into the chicken broth, it makes an immediate difference, the crispy fried rice surface absorbs the flavor of the chicken broth, and the mouth feels more refreshing.

The second dish is Shitang soft-shelled turtle, as soon as it is served, Li Shigui smiled and said to Mo Di: "This dish is specially ordered for you." "What's the point?" Mo Di asked. Li Shigui used chopsticks to open the belly shell of the soft-shelled turtle in the sand pot, sandwiched a piece of skirt meat, and spread it into the Modi bowl, saying: "The soft-shelled turtle is a good thing, especially the soft-shelled turtle in Shitang Lake in Anqing. You hurt your lungs in the Bayang River and almost became tuberculosis, so eating more is beneficial. In addition, the newlywed is not long ago, and aphrodisiac is also necessary. "Laugh out loud. Mo Di shook his head and ate the soft-shelled turtle in the bowl.

Li Shigui prepared a good wine, is from Suqian, Jiangsu Yanghe Daqu, Li Shigui is a native of northern Jiangsu, has a soft spot for northern Jiangsu wine, Mrs. Li and Zhou Shiming do not drink liquor, on the Shaoxing flower carving.

Stir-fried bacon with artemisia sprouts, roasted pork with mountain flour, Anqing is really a city, the taste of the dishes is completely different, Mo Di Shen is lucky that he is not a foodie, otherwise, he has been immersed in the six counties of Anqing for many years, and he has not eaten a decent meal, is it not a pity. For example, the sword eel in front of him, the eel is not unusual, and the so-called sword is also the tip of the tender tea leaves of Tianzhu Mountain, however, he has been in Yuexi Qianshan for so long, no one has thought of combining these two things that he doesn't want to do together and combine them into a delicacy.

After three rounds of drinking, he began to speak unscrupulously, and Mo Di asked: "Brother Shigui, why do you think that you will change your court and go to Nanjing?" ”

Li Shigui said bitterly: "Follow my cousin Li Shouwei, and become a peaceful founding army in a daze." ”

"This is a puppet army! You're not afraid to make a name for yourself. Mo Di said.

"Who is right and who is false, it's not you and I say." Li Shigui said: "If we talk about orthodoxy, Nanjing has a larger share, and the Chiang government in Chongqing, for its own selfishness, has drawn the whole of China into war and chaos, and it is really a national sinner." Inheriting the legacy of the former premier Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the Nanjing government built the country in a peaceful way, straightened out order with the help of external forces, and tried to restore social stability and peace to all the people as soon as possible. ”

"Mr. Mo may think that the Nanjing government is a puppet of the Japanese!" Mrs. Li on one side interjected: "On the contrary, the Nanjing government is only borrowing the help of the Japanese from outside, because the Japanese have no ability to turn the Nanjing government into a puppet. As you can imagine, a small island nation with a limited material population. Although Japan has the desire to swallow elephants, it has no power to swallow elephants, and in time, it will surely assimilate China, speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, worship Chinese ancestors, learn Chinese customs, and become a branch of the Chinese nation. At that time, it will be clear whether Japan occupied China, or whether China assimilated Japan. ”

Mo Di is still hearing this theory for the first time, a little can't catch it, it turns out that the puppet army also has its own survival theory of the puppet army, and also has its own social philosophy, but it is also normal, since the noble have a noble epitaph, the despicable naturally also have a despicable pass. He doesn't plan to entangle this aspect with Li Shigui anymore, just talk about eating, drinking, and having fun, and talk about classmate friendship.

However, Mrs. Li doesn't seem to want to simply let go of Mo Enemy, she has heard Li Shigui say more than once that one Mo is the top three founding army divisions. If you can convince Mo Enemy and let him switch to the Peaceful Founding Army, not only will the rank of general be at your fingertips, but he will also make a contribution, and he will have a lot of face with Director Zhou Fohai.

When she euphemistically proposed to Mo Di, instead of returning to Gui to study hard to achieve the road of promotion, it is better to take the shortcut to the south and transfer to Nanjing, with the ability of Mo Di, as long as she takes refuge in Zhou Fohai, with the status of Mr. Zhou Fohai, she will be able to let Mo Di embark on a glorious road. Mo Di listened to Mrs. Li with a smile on his face, and replied: If my sister-in-law can give an example of Guangxi people entering the Nanjing government, Mo does not need to be persuaded by my sister-in-law and is willing to surrender. Mrs. Li went through all the Nanjing characters she knew and didn't know, and she really couldn't find a single Guangxi person, so she was immediately dumbfounded, and the matter could only be stopped.

For his wife's invincible brains, Li Shigui watched the excitement from the sidelines, and he already knew that it was impossible for him to lean towards Nanjing. The political consciousness of Mo Enemy is very indifferent, even more simple, and it can even be said that there is no formed political thinking. The reason for this can be traced back to the root, that is, the people of Guangxi are very old-fashioned and very high-spirited, and fighting devils is a national war, and it is an unshirkable responsibility, but the dispute between Nanjing and Chongqing has nothing to do with itself. In the eyes of Guangxi people, China's political situation is neither surnamed Jiang nor Wang, surnamed Li, and there is only one boss, that is, Li Zongren, Li Zongren followed Lao Jiang, and they did not hesitate to take the road of Chongqing, if Li Zongren chose Nanjing, they would also turn to Nanjing. Zhou Fohai's people or persuasion people in other regions are useful, but they are ineffective against Guangxi people.

Seeing that his wife returned in vain, Li Shigui was overjoyed, and gloated and said: "How is it, it's the same as what I said before!" This is the result of small wisdom meeting great wisdom. Before receiving Mo Di, the two had discussed this issue, and it turned out that Li Shigui was right.

"You've tried, and you've got results, and this topic is over, don't mention it again, it's stalking, it's annoying." Li Shigui glared at his wife, then changed his expression, and said to Mo Di: "Tianzong, I heard that in the Battle of Changsha at the beginning of this year, Zhang Zhinong was martyred, is it true?" ”

Mo Di nodded and said: "Yes, at the beginning of January, when the Battle of the Heavenly Furnace finally ended, he accompanied tens of thousands of Japanese and melted into the Heavenly Furnace set up by Chief Xue Boling, and he could be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”

"I didn't expect the classmate of the You Gan class to go the earliest." Li Shigui sighed and said, "Do you have any news from others?" ”

"Yes." Mo Di said: "After the Second Changsha War, Liu Jingzhi was promoted to major general due to merit, and returned to Jiangxi from Yichang to serve as deputy chief of staff and director of intelligence of the Fourth Army. Liang Cailin's troops were seriously injured and returned to northern Guangdong for training, although he was not promoted to major general, he also received a medal. As for Luo Jinlun from Yunnan, he has been on the Yunnan-Burma border all these years, and while transporting materials, he has adhered to our great smuggling business and made a lot of money. I plan to go back to Guilin this time, take southern Anhui into Jiangxi, and go to the garrison of the Fourth Army by the way, visit Liu Jingzhi, and express the feelings of my classmates, I don't know if I can get my wish. ”

"If you see Lao Liu, don't take the initiative to talk to him about me." Li Shigui said: "He is a veteran of intelligence, he must know my situation, if you ask about you, you only say that you fought with me, and I am looking for teeth everywhere." ”

Mo Di nodded, knowing that Li Shigui was different from his wife, his wife was a political figure, and he was still a pure soldier, and his face was still colored.

Early the next morning, Li Shigui sent Mo Di across the Yangtze River, arranged a car, and sent it to Dongzhi, and on the next road, he could only wish Mo Di and his family good luck.
