Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (15)

"Niang Xipi, this is abduction, this is a conspiracy, how can this really be true!" Chairman Jiang in the forest garden of Chongqing was furious that his daughter was taken in by a Guangxi barbarian, which was too unexpected for him. As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi led by the Gui family has been a sworn enemy for many years, whether it is the Northern Expedition, or the first time in Nanjing after the Northern Expedition, the contradiction between Chiang and Gui can be said to be never broken, the most recent conflict is the June 1 Incident in 1936, when Chen Jitang of Guangdong and Li Zongren of Guangxi went north with a large army, and the Guangdong and Gui army issued a mobilization order to send troops to Hunan. Chiang Kai-shek urgently transferred two armies to control Hengyang, blocking the Guangdong and Gui armies from moving north, and the two sides confronted each other in Hunan. After entering July, Lao Jiang used a trick to counter the traitor, and used a train to pull a cart of Guangyang to plot against the Guangdong generals, in front of Guangyang, Yu Hanmou, Huang Guanghan and so on of the Guangdong system mutinied, and Chen Jitang fell due to the betrayal of his relatives. After the defeat of Guangdong, Guangxi's strength was weak, and military spending was unsustainable, so the two sides withdrew their troops and settled peacefully.

Although they appeared to cooperate after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they actually looked like they were separated. It's not a joke to get married now.

"Mother, Xipi! So many men in China are dead? Just go find a Guangxi guy! The first object of Lao Jiang's scolding was Jiang Jianfeng in Jiangxi, because he let Jiang Huaxiu fall into the tiger's mouth, which was really a great evil. Jiang Jianfeng immediately called back to defend himself, believing that this was an excellent marriage, and Wei Yongcheng was his friend in Soviet Russia, smart and capable, chic and handsome, young and promising, and worthy of Hua Xiu. In addition, through this marriage, the contradiction between the Gui family and the Gui family can be fully alleviated, which is really a great good.

Lao Jiang tore Xiao Jiang's telegram into two pieces, threw it on the sofa, and scolded: "The erector is unbearable to plot, I and the Gui family, can not wear the sky, now that the Japanese invade China, I have no choice but to be with the Gui family, but I don't have the idea of sharing the world with them." "Instructed Dai Li, through extraordinary means, to kill this Guangxi barbarian and bring Huaxiu back to Chongqing.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, hurriedly stopped him and said to Chiang Kai-shek that this Wei Yongcheng was not an ordinary person, and Bai Jiansheng, the chief of staff, was his maternal uncle. As soon as he heard the news, Dai Li was dumbfounded, killed Bai Chongxi's nephew, and didn't dare to give him ten dares. Chiang Kai-shek's eyes looked directly at Wang Shihe: "This is true!" Wang Shihe nodded affirmatively, and Chiang Kai-shek suddenly felt weak, and sat down on the sofa.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that the commander of the Fifth Theater, Chief Li Zongren, asked to see him.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "What is he doing at this juncture?" ”

"That's naturally a courtship." Dai Li said.

Hearing the word begging, Chiang Kai-shek stood up like a cat with its tail stepped on, sat down weakly, picked up the two torn papers on the sofa, and said to himself: I'm afraid that Jianfeng will be right! waved his hand and said to Wang Shihe: "Let Li Delin come in!" ”

Li Zongren went in, Wang Shihe and Dai Li retreated and closed the door, what the two said inside, no one knows, only that when Li Zongren came out, let the guards who were waiting outside early come in, and give each department a happy candy, and rejoice together. Everyone knows that Wei Yongcheng and Jiang Huaxiu, this pair has become a pair.

Only Song Meiling knew that after Li Zongren went out, Chiang Kai-shek slapped the leather sofa vigorously and kept saying a sentence: "Shame on you!" What a shame! ”

"Order, what's so embarrassing about this, our daughter, in love with the soldiers fighting on the front line, how generous, it should be encouraged." Song Meiling said: "This matter, I stand on Jianfeng's side, Jianfeng is right, our relationship with the Gui family has not been very harmonious, the key is that there is no direct kinship, now, with the marriage of Huaxiu and Bai Jiansheng's nephew, the relationship will naturally change qualitatively, this kind of good thing, why not!" ”

"He's not a soldier, he's just a colonel." Chiang Kai-shek said angrily: "A small director of the political department of the 48th Army. The little colonel can't even hang up the star. Hua Xiu is too, groups of generals don't pick, but choose a colonel, it's really embarrassing! ”

Song Meiling smiled, this is not easy, opened the door, called Wang Shihe over, and asked him to inform the Military Command Department to transfer Wei Yong to become the director of the Political Department of the 21st Group Army, explaining the rank of major general. With Jiang Huaxiu, he immediately went to Lihuang to take office. During the New Year, when she was looking for a good day, she personally went to Lihuang to marry a couple.

When the news came out, Bai Chongxi was the first to come to Lin Yuan to thank Chiang Kai-shek, and said to Chiang Kai-shek very sincerely that the two families were married, and they would be one family from now on.

Jiang Jianfeng, as the representative of the Jiang family, telegraphed to Yuexi, congratulating Wei Yongcheng, this cheap brother-in-law is also a bachelor, full of Soviet mantras, and the telegram is full of revolutionary companions, fighting side by side, creating a new world, and there are no congratulatory messages such as growing old and giving birth to a noble son early. Seeing the message, Jin Tongxuan laughed and said that this eldest brother is definitely the best.

Li Pinhe is a very good person, after receiving a telegram from Jiang Jianfeng, he immediately proposed to hold an engagement ceremony for Wei and Jiang, so that the two can sleep together in a high-sounding manner, as for the formal wedding ceremony, it is still necessary for Mrs. Jiang to preside over it herself, as for whether the princess of the Jiang family was already pot-bellied at that time, it was not for these people to consider.

Mo Di rushed back from Wuhe with a group of people, and he said to Wei Yongcheng: "We can't catch up with the wedding ceremony, and the engagement must be present." ”

The county magistrate Jiang very much agreed with Mo Di's statement, and he believed that the wedding presided over by Mrs. Jiang would either be a dignitary or a dignitary. Only Jin Tongxuan knows that no matter where Wei Yongcheng gets married, he is afraid that he will not be able to run away, Zhang Xiaohui has become a big matchmaker, and this pig's head will not be able to carry it.

Tan Heyi rushed to the banquet with Jiang Chunyang and Qin Jishi from the soup pool, Wei Yongcheng was attached to the horse from Longcheng, from the previous one, first the carp became a major general, and then, I don't know what height it will go, this thigh must be tightened.

The engagement banquet was still set up in the backyard of the county government, and the ten-person table sat for a full ten tables, the battalion and company-level barracks of Ouyang Jin's first battalion, Zhong Dingnai's second battalion, and Zhong Liang's third battalion all came, each occupying one table, one table of the 176th division headquarters personnel from Tangchi, two tables of personnel from the field supplement regiment headquarters, and the rest were the county's dignitaries and dignitaries, and the big businessmen. Wei Yongcheng is dressed in a suit, which is even more graceful, and Jiang Huaxiu is wearing a Chinese-style embroidered cheongsam, dignified and gorgeous. The best man is Qin Guosheng, and the bridesmaid is the daughter of Jiang Chengliang's county magistrate.

"The fate of people is really indescribable, I drink and brag with Director Wei every day, I never thought that I would become a horse!" Liao Dacang, the commander of the mountain artillery company left in the guard battalion in Tiantianfu, said: "At this time last year, we were in Mabu, and Director Wei was still envious and said, whoever has hung up the general star again, and who has been promoted to lieutenant general, this time it will be his turn, if it were me, I would not wear a suit, I would wear a general, hang up the rank of major general, and show off." ”

"So, you may not be able to hold the rank of major general in your life, just because you have a showy heart." He Degui, the logistics director on one side, said: "Director Wei is the nephew of Chief Bai, who can know in normal times!" He is low-key, peaceful, friendly, and casual, which is why such a good marriage awaits him. This person, you can show it when you shouldn't show it, and you can't show it when you shouldn't show it, Liao Cannon, you still honestly play the cannon well, and you can also play a good future. ”

"That's right!" Luo Wei said: "When the artillery company was set up at that time, some people proposed to go to Li Baicheng to find a company commander, and professional work should be done by professional people. It was still Boss Mo who made the final decision, transferred people from the military department, and the procedure was troublesome, and the police company went to Mabu last year and learned a lot from Li Baicheng, so it was formed by a part of the police company. That's how you have a veritable artillery company commander. When you were appointed commander of the artillery company, it is said that even the staff of the division's political department, who was in charge of registration and filing, laughed and said that your father had the foresight and knew that you were going to fire artillery when you grew up, so he took such a name early. ”

Wei Yongcheng was toasting from table to table. The two tables of the big merchants in the county are easy to deal with, and they were originally invited to pay for it, touch one with them, let them see the princess arrive, and it would be good to be able to go back and brag Wei Yongcheng symbolically licked the wine glass and dealt with the past. The table of county officials and dignitaries is not good, Jiang Chengliang has a table for the county magistrate, Li Pin and the director has a table, and Wei Yongcheng can pass the test after a drink. The three battalions of the field supplement regiment are easy to handle with three tables, these are all subordinates, and they usually don't have much interaction, one table for half a cup, and one cup for three tables. The two tables of the field supplement regiment headquarters are not easy to handle, there is no enemy Luo Wei Jin Tongxuan, how can you be expensive, one person has to deal with the past. When he arrived at the table of the 176th Division, Wei Yongcheng was already a little drunk, so he asked Jiang Huaxiu to send Jiang Huaxiu to Zhang Xiaohui for dinner, he took off his suit and began to drink with Tan Heyi. Looking at the audience, that is, he and Tan Heyi are major generals, and the general-level drinking, the school officer level only has the share of spectators, and as for the captain-level small shrimp, they are only qualified to coax.

Wei Yongcheng's alcohol consumption is really good, he once stayed at Sun Yat-sen University in the Soviet Union, received training from the Soviets, and really has the demeanor of the old Maozi of Soviet Russia, and he drank Tan Heyi with glass after glass, until Tan Heyi's face was red and his eyes were white.

Qin Jishi on the side saw that Master Tan drank it again, and he was about to show himself, so he took Wei Yongcheng's limelight, and after three cups, Wei Yongcheng's feet were weak, and he sat directly on the ground, obviously drunk. Qin Guosheng laughed and helped Wei Yongcheng up, and sent him to the backyard building with Jiang Huaxiu. At the top of the stairs, Wei Yongcheng stood up straight and told Qin Guosheng that he was fine. Qin Guosheng looked at Wei Yongcheng in surprise, wondering why he was pretending to be drunk, Wei Yongcheng told him that if he didn't pretend to be drunk, the next thing would be to be really drunk, and on this occasion, the best way to escape was to borrow wine.

Qin Guosheng looked at Jiang Huaxiu and Wei Yongcheng holding hands upstairs in a daze, and didn't turn around and walk out until he couldn't see it, it turned out that Director Wei was a big conspiracy, but he was afraid that he would get the princess into hands, and he also used a lot of tricks. Qin Guosheng suddenly had an idea, was the bamboo mat by the hot spring pool a plan designed by Director Wei, or even pushed it down by himself!

The purpose of toppling the bamboo mat is naturally to overthrow the princess of the Jiang family.
