However, the weather on June 2nd was better, although there was a light rain last night, but it did not affect people's normal work and rest time, work should work, sleep should still sleep.

Today's Zhenjiang Railway Station, and the past is a little different, since the National Army occupied Zhenjiang, Zhenjiang has almost become a military fortress, and as the center of gravity of the defense of Zhenjiang Railway Station is also stationed in the Pingyue is also stationed in a large number of National Army soldiers, the military warehouse near the railway station is a lot of military supplies, so that the surrounding National Army blocks a lot of a section of the railway station, ordinary passengers have to strictly follow the area divided by the National Army to take the train. Travelers and a large number of soldiers of the National Army together created a short-lived prosperity of Zhenjiang Railway Station, which made Zhenjiang Railway Station full of noise. However, there are more people at Zhenjiang Railway Station today than in the past, but there is no such noise as in the past, and ordinary passengers look at the serious nationalist soldiers around them, and they are guessing in their hearts whether something has happened again.

At this time, in a certain building not far from the railway station, a large group of officers of the Nationalist Army were sitting or standing, some talking in low voices, some laughing, and the ranks of these officers were also very high, all of them were officers above the rank of colonel, and there were even a few generals who were rarely seen in ordinary times.

Xu Jingqing is wearing a full set of general's dress today, the gold star on his shoulder is shining in the light, as the commander of the seventh division, he is the number one person in Zhenjiang, but today he can only stand aside, respectfully listening to the conversation of several other generals with a higher status than him, and the only one who can make him show a respectful look is his top boss Shen Gang.

Shen Gang, like Xu Jingqing, is dressed in a full set of general's dresses, unlike Xu Jingqing, his epaulettes are two gold stars, as one of the four lieutenant generals of the National Army, Shen Gang can be said to be a heavyweight in the National Army, and picking up the important surname of the First Army and his personal qualifications and achievements, he is more prominent than several other army commanders. After he joined the Nationalist Army, he led several battles, almost all of which achieved impressive victories, whether it was the Battle of Hangzhou in the capture of northern Zhejiang or the Battle of Guangzhou in the capture of Guangzhou, or even the Battle of Southern Jiangsu that later decided the life and death of the Nationalist Army, and made the Nationalist Army on a par with the Beiyang Army in one fell swoop, basically had a great relationship with him, the rise of the Battle of Hangzhou is good to say, and then the Battle of Guangzhou under his command led the Third Division to take Guangzhou at a very small cost of casualties and was valued by Chen Jingyun, At the critical moment of the war in southern Jiangsu, Chen Jingyun was transferred to southern Jiangsu, and although the strategy of crossing the river to attack Nanjing Jiangbei was proposed to make the Nationalist Army suffer serious losses, it successfully returned the Beiyang Army to Jiangbei and captured Nanjing. The victory of the Nationalist Army in the war in southern Jiangsu was laid. After this battle, Shen Gang became the number one general of the National Army, not only promoted to one of the four army commanders, but also continued to serve as the commander of the first army after the adjustment of the four major armies, and he became the supreme commander of the National Army in southern Jiangsu.

If Chen Jingyun relied on the victories of the National Army to ascend to the position of one of the two major political giants in China, then Shen Gang was the first person to become a general in the National Army by virtue of his military affairs.

Originally, Shen Gang was based in Nanjing, but the reason why he came to Zhenjiang today was to pick up a person, and Chen Jingyun was the only one in the national army who could let Shen Gang come to greet him.

"The commander's special train is almost here!" At this time, a colonel of the National Army came over and said respectfully to Shen Gang.

Shen Gang nodded slightly at the colonel of the guard division, although the colonel in front of him was much lower in rank, but this person's identity was different from that of the ordinary national army, he was Bao Gangyi, the deputy commander of the guard division, and now he had come to Zhenjiang with a regiment of the guard division to stand for Chen Jingyun to ensure the normal progress of the greeting matters, and more importantly, to bring people over first to ensure Chen Jingyun's personal safety.

The guard division and the ordinary national army are two different systems, the officers and officers in it are all the children of Chen Jingyun's relatives and friends, this Bao Gangyi is from the Chen family's in-law family, although the relationship with Chen Jingyun has been separated by several layers, but Ren Jiu can't get rid of the fact that he is Chen Jingyun's relative.

"Colonel Bao, how is your ministry already taking over?" Shen Gang did not treat this Bao Gangyi as seriously as his other generals, but smiled slightly.

Bao Gangyi said: "Everything is fine, the third regiment of our department has taken over the defense of the railway station, just waiting for the commander's special train to arrive!" ”

Shen Gang said: "That's good! ”

Immediately, Shen Gang turned to Xu Jingqing and said, "Division Commander Xu, how are the preparations for the parade troops?" Are there any questions? ”

Xu Jingqing said respectfully: "Rest assured, our division is ready for review!" ”

Seeing that everything was ready, Shen Gang said: "It's almost time, let's go pick up people!" ”

After that, Shen Gang walked out of the house with a large group of generals in the house, and then went straight to the platform of the railway station.

The officers and soldiers of the guard division on this army are part of the second regiment, and the leader is Ji Dongqing, the commander of the second regiment, who is not related to Chen Jingyun, but is Chen Jingyun's classmate in the Fujian Military Academy, after the Xinhai Uprising, he applied for the Fuzhou Military Academy, and then joined the guard division, climbed up step by step, and finally was promoted to the commander of the second regiment of the guard division in the war in southern Jiangsu.

Ji Dongqing came over and talked with Bao Gangyi, who was in charge of the defense of the railway station, about the data, although he was busy arranging queues, defense, etc. After waiting for another half an hour, Chen Jingyun's special train slowly drove into the train station. As Chen Jingyun usually travels, the first to appear is always those guards officers and soldiers, these guards officers and soldiers who are different from ordinary Nationalist Army soldiers are all wearing two Mauser C98s pinned to their waists, carrying a Type 12 rifle, and carrying a Fuzhou imitation of the 1911 pistol from the United States on their legs, and even equipped with 60mm mortars and Madsen light machine guns when accompanying Chen Jingyun when he goes out for a long distance, and the light weapons are extremely special in the Nationalist Army.

These officers and soldiers of the guards did not take over the defense like the soldiers of those guard divisions, their work was more focused on preventing assassinations, although these people acted strangely after getting off the bus, look here, touch there, the captain of the guards, Chen Weitong, the military attache chief of the chamberlain, walked over with a serious face, and after talking with Bao Gangyi and others, he learned that there was no accident before re-getting on the train, and after a few minutes, Chen Jingyun walked off the train accompanied by a group of civilian and military generals, and walked all the way over on the temporary red carpet.

At this time, the greeting staff led by Shen Gang also took two steps forward, and then shouted: "Salute!" ”

Suddenly, except for the soldiers who were on the garrison, all the soldiers present stood upright and saluted. At this time, Chen Jingyun, who was wearing a general's dress, looked around, and after returning a military salute, everyone greeted him.

"Brother Shen, you and I haven't seen each other for two months, it's been good lately!" After doing these scenes, Chen Jingyun walked in front of Shen Gang with a smile on his face, and shook hands with Shen Gang: "The task here in southern Jiangsu is very heavy, you have worked hard!" ”

Shen Gang smiled: "Thank you Commander for your compassion, this is Shen Gang's responsibility, it's not hard!" ”

Although the First Army and the Second Army coexisted in southern Jiangsu some time ago, Shen Gang and Ma Cheng had conflicts from time to time, and they were a little depressed, but since the military headquarters of the Second Army was transferred to southern Anhui, the First Army took over all the defense of southern Jiangsu, and the First Army under him Shen Gang had four divisions, and the power was heavier than before, although the responsibility was correspondingly heavier, but he was happy in his heart, even if it was more tiring than before to inspect everywhere for the purpose of arranging defense, but it would not be hard for him to say that it was hard.

Chen Jingyun nodded, and then turned his gaze to Xu Jingqing: "Brother Xu has also worked hard!" ”

Xu Jingqing has been an old bureaucrat since the early stage, although he did not study and only studied at the Fuzhou Military Academy for two months, but he still has military talent, otherwise he would not have squeezed out of the large group of overseas student officers and Chen Jingyun's descendant officers, became the division commander of the Seventh Division, and became one of the core generals of the National Army. He has military talent, but his bureaucratic taste is also stronger, so in the face of Chen Jingyun, the commander-in-chief of the National Army, he was very worried: "The commander is serious, and it is Jingqing's responsibility and honor to guard Zhenjiang for the commander!" ”

Chen Jingyun didn't have any special opinion on Xu Jingqing's apprehension, and he had been in the top position for a long time, so he also knew a little about the thoughts of his subordinates, and he didn't have any thoughts like looking, but he shook hands a little harder, and said to Xu Jingqing: "The republic of China still needs a lot of hard work from soldiers like you!" ”

Subsequently, Chen Jingyun met with the generals of the National Army who came to greet them one by one, shook hands briefly, and talked a few words, which fully demonstrated Chen Jingyun's friendly atmosphere of sympathy for his subordinates, so that the people present had smiles on their faces, and the serious atmosphere in the previous train station was also lightened.

"Commander, the troops under review are ready, look ......," Shen Gang came over and whispered.

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Since you're ready, let's take a look!" ”

Then he turned to Shi Feng and said, "There is no need to go to so many people to review the troops, you arrange the itinerary of those officials and let them all do their own thing!" ”

Chen Jingyun had a large entourage, and during his stay in Shanghai, although some officials had already gone to Nanjing, there were still quite a few people who followed Chen Jingyun. This time, Chen Jingyun's trip was simply to bring a simplified version of the Xuanfu Embassy to travel.

In fact, he will not stay in Zhenjiang for too long, he will stay here for a day, and after reviewing the troops, he will continue west to Nanjing by special train. And there is no need for those accompanying officials to come out, just continue to stay in the special train to work, after all, there are official duties in the Xuanfu envoy every day, and some important things cannot be delayed, and someone must be on duty all the time.

After a brief meeting at the train station, Chen Jingyun went to inspect the troops with Shen Gang and other generals.
