Chapter 13: Changing Guards (57)

The Changsha War, lasted for nearly a month, until the middle of January of the 31st year of the Republic of China, the victory and defeat were basically separated, and all the past wars are different, Mo Di did not put his mind on this battle at all, every day was busy talking about love, during the period also took Zhou Shiming to Nanjing, visited Xuanwu Lake, visited the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and bought wedding supplies in the name of beauty. For a person who falls in love and gets carried away by love, war is very far away. If it weren't for someone from the military camp who told Mo Di that Commander Su Tingxun had come back from the deep ditch, Mo Di had completely forgotten that he had another identity: Chief of Staff of the Tonglu No Garrison Command.

Walking into the military camp, the first time I saw Su Tingxun, my first reaction was that this guy was wearing the wrong clothes, and his usual rank of lieutenant general was taken away from a gold star and became a major general. After a closer look, I found the mystery, the previous pentagram Venus became a triangular diamond, this is the interpretation of the major general, Su Tingxun has been promoted to the interpretation hall, this is a big deal.

Mo Di "snapped" a straight upright, saluted, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, commander!" ”

Su Tingxun pulled the placket of his shirt and said with deep feelings: "I thought that I would also be like Ling Zhuxi and Mo Dehong, and return to Bagui early to take over the division management area, but I didn't expect that I would be able to enter the eyes of the top and give me the rank of major general of interpretation." ”

"This fully shows that the commander's ability has been recognized by the superiors." Mo Dou said that there was no element of patting.

"It can only show that the cunning rabbit is not dead, the birds are not finished, the lackeys can still walk, and they are old and immortal." Su Tingxun laughed at himself.

"The commander is too modest, in ancient times, there was Huo Quai, the Huns were not destroyed, why did the family speak strongly, now there is Sun Liren, the Japanese are not extinguished, how is the arrogance of the family, the commander has just passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, it is the prime of life, experienced, when the fight, this is even more promising, and the official must worship the general." Mo Dou's words made Su Tingxun laugh.

"Why don't you stay in the deep ditch, can't it be because you miss me and other subordinates?" Accompanied Su Tingxun to the war room and sat down, Mo Di asked with a smile.

"Tut-tut!" Su Tingxun shook his head and said, "Mo Tianzong, to be honest, how many days have you not been to the headquarters of the guard camp?" ”

Mo Di looked at Su Tingxun in astonishment: "How does the commander know?" ”

"If you arrive at the headquarters in the past few days, how can you not know that the Battle of Changsha has ended." Su Tingxun said with a smile: "It seems that it is a love affair and fainting!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Mo Di blushed embarrassedly, to be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to the war that happened in northern Xiangbei, and according to Su Tingxun, it was a bit dereliction of duty. Hurriedly ran to his office, the official documents on the table were already stacked high, and when he opened the top one, he was about to read it.

"Don't look at it, the battle is over, what else is there to see." Su Tingxun said from afar: "Commander Xue Boling really showed his face this time, as you expected, first guarded the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River, but set up a Heavenly Furnace Great Array between the Laodao River and the Liuyang River, and actually annihilated all the Japanese troops who entered the area in one fell swoop, and won the title of Heavenly Furnace General." ”

"Hehe, Tianlu General, this title sounds good, it can't be close to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, it should belong to the miscellaneous generals, although it is not as good as Marshal Tianpeng, at least it is better than the general of the rolling blinds." Mo Di said with a smile: "The Japanese invaders have fought in Changsha several times, and it has become the name of Xue Yue, it seems that the five tiger generals who are commissioned should have a place for Xue Boling." ”

"Yes, it is not easy for a general of the Cantonese Army to come this far! If you want to select the five tiger generals on the commission, I am afraid that the first one will only count our Bai Chief, followed by Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Gu Zhutong, and then Xue Boling. Su Tingxun said: "I don't want to think about it in my life, I am a classmate of Lu Xiao with Chief Li Delin, and I didn't get into a major general until I was fifty years old, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" ”

"That's at least a general, it's better than me, and you can't mix a general star when you mix around." Mo Di said with a smile, throwing away the documents in his hand, Su Tingxun was right, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government, those who live in temples and halls are worried about their people, and those who are far away from the rivers and lakes are worried about their monarchs' behavior, strictly speaking, it is a dog eating sea water and the pipe is wide.

"There will be, there will be! Your boy is only thirty years old this year, and he has already been promoted to colonel, and at my age, he is definitely a general. Su Tingxun said: "After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, I entered the war zone with the rank of deputy commander of the 173rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army and commander of the 519th Brigade as a major general. I changed the military uniform on my body into a school uniform, and at that time, I was so ashamed that I didn't dare to go out to meet people. Fortunately, Commander Li Bai had the foresight and ordered by telegram that when there was a mismatch between the rank of the Gui Army and the rank of the Central Army, the rank of the Gui Army could be maintained, and since then, I have not worn the uniform of the Central Army. When I took over as commander of the 173rd Division, I was promoted to lieutenant general in the Gui Army, and the one who can be recorded in the Interpretation Department is still a colonel. Later, I learned that I was not the only one who had this kind of encounter, Qi Daoxi, Mo Dehong, Ling Zhuxi, Zheng Changrong, and Wang Zanbin were all like me, staying on the stage and being embarrassed, and going back to Guangxi to nest my heart.

Do you think Wei Yunsong and Zhou Zuhuang are willing to return to Guangxi, no, or because of their military ranks. The dignified commander of the Seventh Army and the commander of the 48th Army actually explained that the rank given by the hall was major general, and no one could stand it, these two, in Guangxi, were dignified generals.

After Commander Su Zuxin was appointed as the commander of the 48th Army, it took him five months to take office, not for anything else, the issue of military rank, Su Zuxin is a lieutenant general of the Gui Army, and the Central Committee explained that he should be the commander of the 48th Army, is he wearing a lieutenant general's uniform or a major general's uniform? Later, the Central Military and Political Department could only compromise and grant the rank of lieutenant general, and Su Zuxin left Gui to take office.

It's not that he wears the uniform of a lieutenant general in the Gui Army and serves as the commander, but there is, Mo Shujie of the 84th Army is. This Mo Shujie is even more speechless, the army commander is a lieutenant general of the Gui Army, and his deputy commander Zhang Guangwei is a lieutenant general explained by the central government.

Zhang Gan of the Seventh Army is better, he graduated from the Central Army University in the 17th year of the Republic of China, and he was born in a professional class, during the Songhu War, he served as the chief of staff of the 48th Army, and at that time he was a major general, and was promoted to the commander of the Seventh Army, and his military rank was also promoted to lieutenant general. The problem is that there is a problem below him, the deputy commander Cheng Shufen is a lieutenant general of the Gui Army, but the commander of the 172nd Division, Zhong Ji, is a lieutenant general, so he is entangled again. If you want to say that the military rank rises quickly, count your good friend Zhong Ji, but think about his brother Zhong Yi, it's not too much, some people say that Zhong Ji is a lieutenant general made up of two major generals, and he is the blessing of his brother, I don't know!

As for the general, I don't want to, and I don't have the qualifications. When the Songhu War broke out in the 26th year of the Republic of China, we came out of Guangxi, only my old classmate Li Delin was a general of course, and even Chief Bai was only a lieutenant general plus the rank of general. ”

Speaking of these, Su Tingxun was once again full of emotion.

Su Tingxun returned to Tongcheng, and Mo Di was no longer a horse without a halter. Every morning, you must order the military camp, and then go to the West Street to find Zhou Shiming leisurely, Su Tingxun knew that Mo Di's wedding date was set on the fourth day of February in the solar calendar, and there was only half a month left, so he turned a blind eye and let Mo Di go busy with his own private affairs.

"It won't be rescheduled this time!" Su Tingxun asked.

Mo Di smiled and said: "I can't do this kind of thing, I have to ask the opinions of the Japanese." ”

"Grandma's, damn it!" Su Tingxun thought about it: "There shouldn't be any extraneous branches, in the past few years, whenever the Japanese around the New Year, the Japanese will also postpone the attack, so you can rest assured that you are ready to be the groom." ”

"Commander Xie's words." Mo Di clenched his fists and smiled, and his body had slipped out of the guard camp.

Today, he asked Zhou Shiming to go to a carpenter outside the north gate to see his custom-made dresser, the last time he saw a good yew in the carpenter's house, the delicate texture, gorgeous luster, people can't put it down. The carpenter told Mo Di that this dresser, without painting, becomes brighter the more you use it, and it can be used for a hundred years.

Turn to West Street, walk to Zhou's shop not far away, only to see that West Street is crowded with people to see the excitement, noisy and shouting, very excited, Mo Enemy walked by, pay attention to it, it may be a quarrel, the words are very fast, Tongcheng dialect is slow and invincible can still deal with it, as soon as it is said fast, it has become a foreign language. I wanted to bypass it, but I heard the sound of good deeds coming from inside, Mo Di stretched his neck and looked at it twice, but he was too short to see a layer of human heads. Finally borrowed the pavement on the opposite street to pass through this congested section, and looked at it again, happy, Zhou Shiming was standing at the door of Zhou's shop, comforting a girl who was sitting on a bench crying.

"What's wrong?" Approaching Zhou Shiming, Mo Di asked.

Zhou Shiming pointed to the girl who was crying in the dark and said: "This is my classmate Liu Ruyan, and the sugar, tobacco, alcohol, and grocery store in front of me is opened by their family." Early this morning, a distant uncle of his came to the door and said that there was a problem with the ownership of this shop, and Liu Ruyan's house had been maliciously occupied all these years, and now he wanted to return the property to the original owner. ”

Mo Di smiled and said: "This kind of thing is not said to be anyone's, there is a house deed, there is a record of the government, whoever can get it is whoever's." ”

Zhou Shiming said: "This is the norm, but the Liu family is a bit weird, the deed is in the hands of Liu Ruyan's father, but the record of the government has another owner, that is to say, from the perspective of the government, the deed in the hands of Liu Ruyan's father is fake." I just asked Liu Ruyan that her father's shop was obtained by her father when he divided the family property, and after getting it, he went to the county to file the official document and get the house deed. Decades have passed, but unexpectedly, an uncle suddenly appeared, taking the record of the government, indicating that the shop belongs to the property of the Liu family, and the deed of Liu Ruyan's family is fake, claiming that such a fake deed, do as much as you want, let them vacate the shop and move out, otherwise, they will calculate the rent and expenses of these years one by one. ”

"Hehehehehe, there is such a thing! Don't think about it, there must be something inside. Mo Enemy has nothing to do with himself, hung high, and said, "Are you going to see the dresser with me or are you here with your classmates?" ”

Zhou Shiming was a little hesitant, she wanted to go to the dresser with Mo Di, but she couldn't bear to look at her classmates' helpless looks.

Or hearing the meaning of Mo Di's words, Liu Ruyan, who had been crying with his head down, raised his head, looked at Mo Di and said, "What does Chief Mo estimate is here?" ”

"I don't know." Mo Di replied, he didn't like this Liu Ruyan, and the sharp voice he heard yesterday belonged to the woman in front of him who was crying and her eyes were red.

"Please, help me." Liu Ruyan said and was about to kneel.

Zhou Shiming hugged Liu Ruyan, turned his head and said to Mo Di: "Brother Fu, can you help, Ruyan and I grew up together, like sisters, okay?" ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "Go back and tell your father, even if you move, it will take time, let your clan uncle have a grace period of three days, and take over the house after three days." ”

Liu Ruyan looked at Mo Di in puzzlement, this is the way? What kind of solution is this? It's just dragged on for three days.

Zhou Shiming woke up and said to Liu Ruyan: "This is a delaying tactic, if we don't get them away, how can we find a way." ”

Liu Ruyan nodded as if she had woken up from a dream, and turned her head to squeeze into the crowd at the door of the shop.

After a while, the people at the door dispersed, and the noisy clan uncle also left with people.

"Brother Fu, what should I do next?" Zhou Shiming asked.

"Simple." Mo Di said: "The shop of the Liu family, if you want to get it back, you have already got it back, how can it be used for 20 years, just rely on Liu Ruyan's uncle, a gangster in a mountain village, and he doesn't have the ability to get it away." I guess that this guy may have suddenly found some backer during this time to come up with this bad move. To solve this matter, the most important thing is to find out what the backers of the Liu family are, Tongcheng, the biggest official is none other than the county magistrate Wei and Director Jiang, and the biggest force is none other than the chief Su Tingxun, in their eyes, no matter the underworld or the white way, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down. As long as you find out the backer of the Liu family's uncle, you can kill him with just one hand, and this little trouble is self-solving. ”

The problem that seemed completely unsolvable to Zhou Shiming was easily solvable in the hands of Mo Di, and Zhou Shiming looked at Mo Di's eyes, full of admiration.

That night, the uncle of the Liu family was beaten with a head cover, and the next morning, he ran to the house of the Tongcheng County Police Chief, and before he finished crying, Jiang Hongxi appeared at the police chief's house.

The truth is very simple, the sister-in-law of the uncle of the Liu family married the police chief as the wife of the third aunt not long ago, so she began to play the brains of this shop, and through the relationship of the police chief, the last page of the real estate official document was torn up, and the first part was retained, which became the property of the Liu family. Then a property distribution contract was re-arranged, and the shop became the personal asset of the Liu family's uncle. Everything was working smoothly, but I didn't expect to be invincible in the pit.

After Luo Chengjun stepped down, he did not cooperate with the current county magistrate Wei Jiqing and the county party director Jiang Hongxi, and finally caught the handle of the police chief and made Jiang Hongxi jump three feet high.

It's very polite to ask Mo Enemy, but there is a suitable person to serve as this police chief. Unexpectedly, Mo Di was not polite to Jiang Hongxi at all, and directly recommended one person: Sun Cheng, the captain of the guard.

So, on February 4, the day of the wedding anniversary of Colonel Moda, all the policemen in Tongcheng City were put into battle, and there was a sentry in five steps and a post in three steps on West Street, which seemed to be solemn as if facing a great enemy. This glory, until many years later, Tongcheng people are still talking about it.
