Chapter 14: Advanced (21)

Guilin, the capital of Guangxi Province, is the seat of the Guangxi Pacification Administration, and the place with the most brain shells in Guangxi. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, Guilin County was changed to a city, and the brain shell increased a lot. With the increase of brain shells, the number of cars has also increased, the number of various science and technology commission offices has also increased, and the number of decent people on the street has gradually increased compared with ordinary people, coupled with the entry of a large number of foreign guests, the scale of development in Guilin in recent years has been more than twice as large as that of five years ago.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Mo Enemy, you are your official, I am on my errand, the well water does not violate the river water, of course, sometimes there will be some intersections, for example, today, he is going to the Security Headquarters of the Administrative Inspector Commissioner's Office of the Eighth District of Guangxi. Where is this headquarters in Guilin, he really doesn't understand, this organization was also established 29 years after the Republic of China, if he hadn't returned to Guilin to study, maybe he would never have dealt with this organization for the rest of his life. No matter what, he has to find someone to do it, and there is only one person he is looking for, Chen Enyuan, the mayor of Guilin City, the commissioner of the Administrative Inspector Office of the Eighth District of Guangxi, and the commander of the Security Command.

The last time I returned to Guilin, because Guilin was a camp, there was not only Chief Bai in charge, but also a large army to protect them, Wei Yunsong, Zhou Zuhuang and others were also in Guilin, and they wanted to do something, so they didn't have to worry about finding a way. This time it was miserable, the 16th Group Army was all transferred to Guinan, and Guilin became an undefended area of the military, if you insist on saying that the troops directly belong to the military headquarters, there is only an antiaircraft artillery air defense brigade in the direction of Dafeng Mountain, and in addition, there is a militia regiment and a security regiment.

When I went to the grain and oil store on Chongde Road, I didn't see Lao Wu, and the guy told him that the boss planned to buy all the shops on the left and right, and the back warehouse was also collected as much as possible, and he was negotiating with the store owners next to him. Mo Di knows that this guy has money in his hand, so he doesn't have to be unwilling, so let him toss it, money is such a thing, he doesn't bring it in life, he doesn't bring it in death, in troubled times, as long as he has a gun in his hand, why worry about no money.

The guy told him that the security headquarters was very close, and he walked south from Zhongshan South Road, crossed the Yang Bridge and turned right, around the lake and pond. Mo Di knows this place, where the old Guilin Mansion is located. After thanking the guy, he walked in the direction of Yang Bridge.

From the cross street to the Yangqiao, all the way is a French-style arcade, and you have been walking in the building, and you don't need to walk on the main road. This kind of arcade is very suitable for Guilin, Guilin, there will be a rainy season for half a month or even a month every year, similar to the plum rain in the Yangtze River Basin, the difference is that the rainy season in Guilin appears slightly earlier, and the rainy season is very cold and biting. At this time, the role of this arcade is very important for business, it can be a passage for shoppers, a place for the elderly to play cards and chess, a mobile sales place for small vendors, and a place for children to play and play. I remember that when I was transferred back to Guilin from the Pingle Folk League, Guilin City at that time was still dominated by white walls and tiles and stilted buildings. The preservation of the city wall is also quite intact, from the north gate of Guanyin Pavilion in the north, the Ningyuan gate of Ningyuan Bridge and the Wenchang gate of Wenchang Bridge in the south, there are Dongzhen Gate, Fubo Gate, Xingchun Gate, Dongjiang Gate, Dinggui Gate in the east, there are Xiqing Gate, Baoxian Gate, Lize Gate, West City Gate in the west city, and the gate leads to the street. Between the gates, the city walls are linked to each other and guard the palace of this "thousands of peaks around the wilderness, and a water hugs the city".

After the Wuming beggar Lu Rongting came to power, the Guangxi provincial capital was moved to Nanning, until 1936, the Guangxi provincial government moved from Nanning to Guilin, with the advocacy of the new life movement, the construction of Guangxi model province, the influx of a large number of cars, the original narrow stone road is not suitable for car driving, the provincial government instructed the municipal construction department to expand the road on the east-west and north-south avenues of the cross street, and build an asphalt road that can parallel two cars, and strictly require that a sidewalk must be built on both sides of the road. For the sake of beauty and practicality, all the houses that are demolished backwards will be built into arcade corridors in front of them.

Guilin's arcade is very new, from a large number of new buildings to today's scale, it is only six years, the new ones are still under construction, and the old ones have not yet shown the old. The second is the large scale, because of the location of the provincial government, the policy tilt and the demand for rapid business development. The third is beautiful, compared with the old arcade in Guangzhou Chikan, Beihai, Wuzhou, Guilin's arcade is completely up a grade, whether it is practical, aesthetic, complete and fashionable, it is far beyond the others.

Mo Enemy walked briskly, and after showing the division at the mouth of the security headquarters, he was immediately sent to the reception room by the staff on duty, although Guangxi will gather a large number of people, but the colonel is not a small role, and it must be treated. Mo Di sat in the reception room for no more than a cigarette, and a tall thin man with the rank of Major General of the Gui Army on his shoulder walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately stretched out his hands and greeted Mo Di warmly: "Anqing Mo Tianzong, Man of the Year, Man of the Year!" See you today, and I am very relieved. Brother Tang Qi, Gong is the chief of staff of the Guilin Security Command. ”

Mo Di had never heard of such a person, but he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to shake it, and said sincerely: "Chief of Staff Tang, look up for a long time." ”

Tang Qi is also a native of the county, a native of Wenqiao in the county, and Chen Enyuan, a native of Wenqiao, was transferred from his hometown after he became the mayor of Guilin City, and he is also a powerful figure in the Guilin Appeasement Office. There are nearly 10,000 members of the Guilin City Security Army's standing militia army, which has always been divided into two factions, one is under the Guilin City Pacification Office, and the other is under the Guangxi Pacification Administration. The leader of the Guilin City faction is Tang Qi, and the Guangxi General Administration faction is Yao Huai. Mo Di didn't know that he came to the Guilin City Security Headquarters, and did not go to Fulongzhou to see the Guangxi General Administration, which invisibly offended the Provincial General Administration.

Mo Di took the initiative to report, Tang Qi was very happy, this is a matter of face. The so-called sedan chair carried people, and immediately went through the relevant procedures. As for Mo Di's offer to buy a few sets of military uniforms, Tang Qi was a little embarrassed, military uniforms don't cost money, and it doesn't hurt to send three or five sets, the problem is that there is no military rank. The rank of Mo Enemy is the central interpretation, and there are only old objects of the Gui family here. Although one is a triangular diamond type and the other is a five-star type, the layman looks similar, and the insider knows that it is different at a glance, and the gold content is completely different. Mo Di smiled and told Tang Qi, don't worry about the rank badge, there is a signboard at the intersection of Yiren Road, just spend some money to make a few sets of fake rank epaulettes and badges. Tang Qi thought about it and laughed, the real colonel, with a fake military rank, the fake one naturally became true. Knowing that Mo Di came back from Tongcheng with a few plain clothes and didn't bring anything else, Tang Qi also personally gave Mo Di an armed belt of calf skin, so that the military appearance would not be too rigorous when he reported to the military academy. Mo Di knew that he owed Major General Tang a lot of favors, so he could only write it down and slowly repay it in the future.

After returning from the security headquarters, Mo Di first went to Yiren Road, and at the intersection of Yiren Road, a small gold shop became the target of Mo Di's trip. Hearing Mo Enemy's appeal, the boss of the gold shop almost didn't call the police immediately, in broad daylight, in the middle of the bright sky, he actually asked to do a fake military rank, what kind of behavior is this, killing the head, killing three times is not too much. When asked again, what was required was the rank of the Central Army, and the shopkeeper immediately breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, being the rank of the Gui Army was a crime of killing the head, and being the rank of the Central Army was not a big problem. Ask Modi, why do you want to make this thing? Mo Di told him that he was an errand boy at the Gui Theater, and the Gui Theater recently wanted to arrange the anti-Japanese drama "Heavenly Furnace" cooperated by Tian Han and Ouyang Yuqian, which had a colonel of the Central Army and needed props. Without saying a word, the shop owner dragged out a waste bucket from his feet, poured out a large number of military ranks, found the epaulettes and badges and collar badges of several colonels, threw them to Mo Di, and asked, "How many sets do you want?" Tell you clearly that this thing is not fake, it is a real guy, such as a fake. ”

Mo Di took it, looked at it carefully, and said, "It really looks true, a lot of money?" ”

The shop boss pointed to a pile of about three sets of colonels' outfits and said, "This pile, you can give five fiat currencies, if it's Yingyang, give one." ”

Mo Die laughed, this price is cheaper than receiving it from the Ministry of Military Affairs, threw out a piece of Guangyang, and said: "There is no Yingyang, only this, do you want it?" ”

"Yes, of course, I'm not stupid, I don't recognize Guangyang." The old shop picked up Koyo and took a bite with his back molars, which is true.

Mo Wei put away his rank, picked up a bag of military uniforms, and left.

Walk across the road, not far away, is the Christian St. John's Church, turn around the Christian Church, is Doumu Lane. It is estimated that the Christian church is doing a service, it is quite lively inside, and there is also the singing of the choir, today should be Sunday!

Walking to the door of his new residence, General Tie opened the door, Mo Di was a little surprised, he was not at home, who would accompany Zhou Shiming out. Take out the key and open the door, get inside, put on the doorbell you took down last night, and close the door. Entering the door of the hall, Mo Di smiled, and the door of the hall was locked, and he didn't have the key to this door. After looking around, the only thing that could sit was the stone table and stone bench under the wisteria trellis, so he walked under the wisteria trellis, put his clothes and military rank on the stone table, and sat on the stone bench.

The wisteria shelves are made of fine miscellaneous wood, quaint logs, and try to maintain the original flavor. The gray-brown old wisteria twisted its body and climbed on the trellis, old and rough. However, the dull and cracked main vine gave his branches and leaves a vibrant life. The strings of purple buds are shaped like bean blossoms and like a curved moon. The slightly larger ones stretched their wings and turned into fluttering purple butterflies. Near the west wall, there are many leaves, but there are not fewer flowers, and the flowers under the green leaves are densely clustered into clusters, clusters, clusters, like emerald green waves rising in the lilac clouds, elegant and beautiful. The breeze is everywhere, and the fragrance is overflowing.

At this time, what is most needed is a book, a piano, a tactful piece of music, and a calm heart. The beauty of wisteria lies in its quiet elegance and its calm and restrained; Beautiful but not charming, beautiful but not delicate; high-spirited but not ostentatious, brilliant but not flashy; Do not compete with flowers, do not compete with the same kind. It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is more charming and more stylish. It is no wonder that countless literati and regard Guilin as the apex of life, or because of Guilin's calmness and calmness.

I don't know how long I sat there, but I saw that the sun had risen to mid-heaven, and the doorbell from the door called Mo Di back from his contemplation, and when he opened the door, it was Zhou Shiming and the second sister, Zhou Shiming was very excited and said to Mo Di, the second sister took her to the Christian St. John's Church to listen to the service, which was very fun. Mo Di didn't know about foreign religions, and he didn't want to listen to foreigners fooling around, so he didn't know the fun of worship, so he smiled faintly and said, "It's fun, this place is at the mouth of our alley, and it won't get lost." ”

The second sister smiled: "Don't worry, I will accompany your baby wife, and I will definitely not lose it." ”

Zhou Shiming opened the door of the hall, and after entering, he opened the doors and windows, and Mo Di walked into the hall directly from the south door with his military uniform and the second sister.

"Today is May 3rd, and there is almost a month before school starts, don't you plan to go back to Baishou, third brother?" The second sister asked.

"I definitely want to go back, my parents haven't met their three daughters-in-law yet, and this meeting gift can't be saved by them." Mo Di said: "I plan to go back the day after tomorrow, tomorrow I will invite Zhang Yongfa and Zhang Xiangpu boss and a group of people to dinner, I am back, I will stay in Guilin for a year, these old friends still have to say hello." ”

"Then you won't be able to leave the day after tomorrow." The second sister said: "If you invite them, they will definitely invite you back, and after drinking this round, at least a week." ”

"I don't want to give them time to reply, so I went back early the day after tomorrow, just saying that the new daughter-in-law has not seen her in-laws yet, and she must rush back to her hometown as soon as possible, and this reason is very good." Mo Di said: "Anyway, they will stay in Guilin for at least one year, and they can ask for it whenever they want this year." ”

The second sister nodded, this third brother, I haven't seen him for a few years, he is already very mature, he is more thoughtful in considering and dealing with problems than he is as an older sister, and he is no longer the little fart child of the year. Knowing that Mo Di ran to the gold shop at the intersection of Yiren Road to buy a fake military rank before, the second sister laughed and told Mo Di that the second brother-in-law Yang Litian is also a colonel, and there are a lot of military uniforms and ranks at home, where can I use it to go outside. Mo Di took out an epaulette, handed it to the second sister, and asked the second brother-in-law if the epaulette looked like this, the second sister looked at it seriously, nodded, shook her head again, and told Mo Di that it didn't seem to be triangular, but five-star. Mo Di sighed, it seems that his second brother-in-law, although he graduated from the sixth phase of the first branch of the Central Military Academy (Nanning Branch) (compared to the ninth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy), has not yet entered the eyes of the Central Military Commission, and then mixed in Guangxi, which is a third of an acre, and the final outcome may not be able to catch up with Mo Dehong Ling to suppress the west.
