Chapter 14: Advanced (40)

The next day, Mo Di did not go to Fulongzhou until before getting off work, but arrived at Xu Qiming's office early. Xu Qiming was very happy to see Mo Di, and did not take a seat in the office, but walked across the small pontoon bridge on Fulong Island and came to the small island in the heart of the Li River. Strictly speaking, this small island is the real Fulongzhou, and the Guangxi Pacification Command is located on the bank of the river, and there is still half a river away from Fulongzhou.

The small pontoon bridge is very interesting, the Li River is divided into three here, from east to west, the small Dongjiang River flowing through the Huaqiao, the main channel of the Li River, and the river in front of it that looks like a small ditch. The river is neither wide nor deep, and two wooden piers are made of wood on both sides, and there are several pontoon boats in the middle of the wharf, and the pontoon boats are put on board to become pontoon bridges. The pontoon bridge is not wide, people walk on it, swaying with the water, and the water grass at the bottom of the water is lush and quite lush. A few little children frolic in the water, from time to time in the water out of a large handful of aquatic plants, this is the best pig dish, while playing while completing the task of beating pig vegetables, the small river section is deeply loved by the naughty boy.

The bamboo trees on the island are verdant, with bamboo as the many, the branches and leaves are connected, covering the sky and the sun, and the bamboo cracks are paved with pebbles to form a path, and the winding path is secluded. The first time Mo Di walked on the island, he was very curious.

Along the trail, to the south end of the island, a non-temple building appeared in front of you, the most striking is a huge wall, which is also embedded with Taishan stone. When I walked to the wall, I found that there were four claw-shaped stakes around the building, and a six-foot square "Asia" shaped turtle platform was built under the pillars as the foundation.

"There is such a building in this place, and the owner is afraid that he is also an elegant person." Mo Di sighed.

"You know the owner of this house." Xu Qiming said.

"Oh! Who is it? Mo Di asked curiously.

"Zhang Gan, Zhang Jiezhai." Xu Qiming replied.

"Oh!" Mo Di smiled, Gui Jun's famous Zhang gossip, he repaired the mansion here, and he built it so nondescriptly, it is not surprising at all.

Xu Qiming walked to the door of Zhang's Mansion and said a few words to the concierge, and soon someone moved out a bamboo table and two bamboo chairs, put them on the left side of the wall, and served a pot of tea, a plate of melon seeds, and two plates of snacks.

Sitting down on the bamboo chair with Xu Qiming, Mo Di looked around, not far away is the Huanzhu Cave at the foot of Fubo Mountain, the mouth of the cave is like a huge mouth, and the sword test stone inside is like a small tongue in the mouth, no wonder Zhang Bagua will make such a huge side of the wall in the south, it must be to block the evil mouth of the Huanzhu Cave.

The water of the Li River comes from the north, goes to the south, bends out a pool of clear water under the Fubo Mountain, the water is dark and heavy, the legend is that the general of Fubo slashes the evil dragon here and determines the wild waves, saves the people of Li, and keeps the peace of the party. Overlooking the Oriental Putuo, looking back at the south of the Wangcheng Tianyi Pillar, there is Fubo Mountain in front, there is Fengdong Mountain in the back, the breeze comes slowly, the water waves are not prosperous, this place is really a treasure of feng shui.

"Two waters surround the yin-yang mirror, and one island is the Taiji diagram of the sky." Xu Qiming said: "The year before last, Zhang Jiezhai returned to Guilin to build a mansion, and it is said that he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Guilin, and finally chose here. ”

Where Zhang Bagua fancies, Feng Shui must be good! Mo thought to himself.

"This place was first called Qinzhou, because it was named after the shape of a horizontal Konghou, and in the Ming Dynasty, it became the horse farm of Jingjiang Wangcheng, and the name was changed to Mazhou. Later, because scholars from all over the world came to Guilin to catch the exam, it became a place for scholars to store their horses, the island is full of grass, is an excellent natural pasture, surrounded by water, and the horses will not get lost. The Li River in Guilin rises four times a year, the peach blossom water in March, the dragon boat water in May, the Guanyin water in July, and the knife water in September. After the Republic of China, there was no longer a scientific expedition, and there were no more horses here, and the surrounding area of the sandbar became a concentrated mooring place for Guilin people to catch fish and young birds, so Mazhou was renamed Lulu Island. The sand on the continent is suitable for growing radish, so some people also call it radish island. Until the year before last, after Zhang Jiezhai went to the island to inspect the compass, he thought that the south was Fubo Mountain and the north was Mulong Cave, so he proposed to create a better name, Fulongzhou. Xu Qiming said: "We still made a joke about Zhang Jiezhai at that time, or a hundred years later, the name of Zhang Jiezhai has long been extinguished with ashes, but the Fulongzhou named after Zhang Jiezhai Chrysostom will be passed down through the ages." ”

Listening to Xu Qiming's eloquent conversation, Mo Di knew that this was definitely not the focus of today's chat, Xu Qiming came over to him, not for such a rambling chat. However, what Xu Qiming said was interesting, and Mo Di listened to it with great interest.

"Back then, Zhang Jiezhai built a mansion on Fulongzhou, which was also painstaking." Xu Qiming said: "This guy boarded the sandbar in a small boat, and after browsing for a week, he came out with a limerick poem: the long river in the north and south is wide and flat, and there are three or two layers in the east ridge and the west gang; The left and right houses came to take care of each other, and the children and grandchildren set up military attachés. Tianzhong, don't ask me how I can remember this crude limerick poem, this limerick poem is quite widely circulated in Guilin, because of the circulation of this poem, after Zhang Gan, many people came to the island to build a mansion, and some people proposed to build a wind and rain bridge opposite the flower bridge to connect the Rimen Gate Tower, straight into Dasi Street, and Baguitang, Mulong Cave, Iron Buddha Pond contrast with each other. ”

Mo Di smiled, this place, he can't look down on it, he is worried about the rising water every year, it is better to live in Doumu Lane by himself. In that year, Zhang Gan walked from the north end of Zhouzi to the south end and surveyed the meridian; Then cross from the east side of the continent to the west side, and draw the unitary line; and measured the four corners and four lines of Xungong Qiankun. Looking for the dragon, inspecting the sand, observing the water, selecting the direction, after a long period of exploration, the auspicious cave was selected. If he knew what Mo Di was thinking, it was estimated that Zhang Gan would be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

Zhang Gan selected the acupoint on Fulongzhou, but also twists and turns, first selected a place in the north of the center of the continent as the acupuncture point, always felt inappropriate, looked around, only to see that the Purple Mountain (that is, Duxiu Peak) that symbolizes the king's spirit has a sharp angle in the east. "It's not proper, this sharp guy is going to be angry, and there will be the evil spirit of losing his wife and mother, don't do it!" Abandon the cave and choose another one, survey south along the meridian, and finally select a southerly place on the continent as the auspicious cave.

The foundation pillar was beaten, and Zhang Gan found that the hole of the Pearl Cave at the bottom of Fubo Mountain was like an open mouth, with the potential to swallow people, and he hurriedly shouted: "Still can't do it!" The problem is the land of Fulongzhou, this cannot be done or the other cannot be done, where can it be done! When he was in trouble, he suddenly remembered a trick "the art of warding off evil spirits". He decided that in the future, he would build a shadow wall or a wall at the end of the continent in the south, and then embed a stone of "Taishan Stone Dare to Be" to stop the big mouth that rushed in. He felt that all the auspicious fortunes had been thought through, so he ordered four claw-shaped stakes to be laid, and a six-foot-square "Asia" shaped turtle platform was laid as the foundation. It is said that it is a turtle to build a platform, but Yongzhen Zhaoji is a god.

"The talent of General Jie Zhai, who is well versed in feng shui, has a secret understanding of yin and yang, and has unpredictable wisdom." Mo Di smiled.

"Zhang Jiezhai also miscalculated." Xu Qiming shook his head and said: "In the Lihuang Incident at the beginning of the year, Zhang Jiezhai's handling was very inappropriate, resting on his laurels and providing ineffective assistance. After half a year of discussion, the Fifth Theater suggested that Zhang Jiezhai be transferred to the deputy commander of the 21st Group Army, ranking below Liu Heding. Everyone agreed that this is completely a rise and a fall, if Zhang Jiezhai has no outstanding performance, I am afraid that the future will stop here. ”

Mo Di looked at the bronze gate of the Zhang Mansion, and then looked at the big Zhaobi beside him, and sighed secretly: No matter how big the Zhaobi is, it can't stop the big mouth of the Huanzhu Cave, and the sword test stone in the Huanzhu Cave has clearly become a sharp canine.

"I will go to Lu'an Dushan and be ordered to take over the post of commander of the Seventh Army." Xu Qiming said: "I have been away from Anhui for a long time, and I am not very familiar with the situation in Anhui. ”

"I don't dare to teach the heavens." Mo Di said with a smile: "The Seventh Army is the most powerful unit of my Gui Army, and those who can serve as the commander of the Seventh Army are all the pillars of optimus in our Gui Army. ”

Xu Qiming waved his hand, so that Mo Di did not need to be polite, picked up a piece of Saqi Ma on the plate, and sent it to his mouth, Guilin's Saqi Ma is a typical halal snack, fragrant but not greasy, crispy but not melting, and fragrant lips and teeth. Seeing that Xu Qiming didn't speak, Mo Di knew that the other party wanted to listen to his own opinions, thought about it seriously, and said: "The situation in northern Anhui is not complicated, the three-legged force, the 21st Group Army, the 116th Division and the subordinate departments of the New Fourth Army. After the Lihuang incident, Japan and China resumed the trend of confrontation between the two sides, but the Red Army was frequently active, and taking advantage of the Lihuang incident, our army was caught off guard and rushed to build many base areas in the Hefei area. I estimate that when Chief Xu goes to Lu'an, the main opponent is them. The Red Army fought very smoothly, did not follow military law, often surprised people, and was difficult to deal with. ”

Xu Qiming nodded. He had no dealings with the Red Army, but he only knew all kinds of deeds of the Red Army from the information and was able to fight from the Hunan and Jiangxi borders to the whole of China. He did not very much agree with Mo Di's argument that the Red Army was the main opponent, and he believed that the main opponents were still the Japanese army and the Nanjing puppet army, and as for the Red Army, at this stage, its combat objectives should be the same as his own, and they should not constitute a direct opponent.

Mo Di told him that after several years of rearmament, the 116th Division has grown from a Tuntian division to a main force division, and in the near future, it will definitely be transferred to the front line of operations, and the defense of the Japanese puppet army in this area is bound to shrink on all fronts, and being able to shrink itself into a limited number of strongholds and not be captured by our army will be their biggest goal. However, the Red Army was different, and the transfer of the 116th Division gave them a lot of space, and they would definitely take the opportunity to occupy it. As for the protest against us, they will argue that this was taken from the Japanese army, not from us and refused to return it. If we also discover this fighter and seize the lost ground with them, we will inevitably face a direct conflict.

"Are we afraid of them in a head-on battle?" Xu Qiming said disdainfully.

"Not to be underestimated." Mo Di said: "We occupy land for the sake of land, and they occupy land for the people of land, which is very different. Chief Xu is stationed on the front line in Hefei, and if he can't handle the relationship with the Red Army satisfactorily, he is afraid that it will be a little troublesome. ”

"In Tianzong's view, what is the right way to deal with it?" Xu Qiming asked.

"Politics is the main thing, and the military is secondary." "Get the other side to withdraw through political means, not through military action," Mo Di said. ”

"Hehehehe, Tianzong is too careful!" Xu Qiming laughed and said: "We are waiting for soldiers, we don't need to solve it by military means, but we want to help politicians, which is too unreasonable." ”

Mo Di wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Qiming shaking his hand, only to hear Xu Qiming continue: "It won't be long before Tianzong will be promoted to major general, as a general, you must have the thinking of a general, it seems that Tianzong also has the need to adjust his mentality!" ”

Mo Di also laughed, he knew that he was sometimes too careful, looking ahead and backward, not too crisp. That's no way, I was born in the army, there is no backstage in the Gui army, only a few good friends, each of whom is running for their own future, taking care of themselves, and they can't take out their hands to help themselves too much. After June, if nothing else, he will get the long-awaited star. Hanging the general star means that you have a place in the army, and at that time, or you will not be as careful and unconfident as you are today.
