Chapter 14: Advanced (48)

After sending Ling Zhuxi away, in addition to studying, all the rest of the energy of Mo Enemy and his gang was spent on inquiring about the candidates who would take over the commander of the Yonglong Division, and during this period, they also had more contacts with Tang Qi, Yao Huai, Liang Wuya, Liang Zhongdu and others. After Huang Tianhua got to know a group of people from the Pacification Office and the Garrison Headquarters through Mo Di, he quickly showed the quality of a politician, watching the song and dance of the warbler on the crescent moon tower, watching the clouds rolling up on the top of the bright moon peak, looking at the three mountains and two caves at the head of Fulongzhou, sighing for the eternal romance in the Xiaoyao Building, and serving the people of the Pacification Office to the satisfaction of the people, thus also achieving a goal.

In September, Guilin enters autumn, the summer heat gradually subsides, and the osmanthus blossoms fill the city. On 6 September, the 11 th Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang opened in Chongqing and ended on 13 September, with Sun Ke, Ju Zheng, Dai Chuanxian, Yu Youren, Kong Xiangxi, Ye Chulun, Shan Zhen, Zhu Jiahao, and Liu Shangqing elected members of the Kuomintang government, and Chiang Kai-shek was appointed "president and premier." From then on, he was given the title of President Chiang. Because Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government Committee of the Republic of China, died in a car accident in Chongqing on 1 August, and the post of chairman became vacant, Chiang Kai-shek basically took the post of chairman in his hands at this plenary session, and only waited for the Double Tenth Festival to take office.

The strong entry of the central government's management of Guangxi is exactly the trend of the times, and no one can stop President Chiang's will. At the beginning of September, Gan Lichu took the post of director of the Sixth Branch of the Central Military Academy and concurrently the chief of education of the Southwest Cadre Training Corps, and at the same time took over as the head of the Lu Dagao staff class where the invincible enemies belonged. After arriving in Guangxi in June, Feng Yizhong, vice minister of the Ministry of the Army, never returned to Chongqing, but took over the post of chief of staff of the Guangxi Pacification Office after Xu Qiming left office. Since Li Zongren has been in the Fifth Theater for a long time, and Bai Chongxi, deputy director, has also been stationed in Chongqing, the chief of staff is responsible for the daily work of the Guangxi Pacification Office. In Guilin, the provincial government in Wangcheng was headed by Huang Xuchu, while the Guangxi Pacification Office in Fulongzhou was headed by the chief of staff, and Zhang Fakui's Fourth Theater Command in Liuzhou was the commander of the province. The Central Military Commission sent Feng Yizhong to occupy this position, breaking the previous balance in one fell swoop, and the intention is not insignificant.

The conscription program of the Central Military Service Administration was strongly promoted in Guangxi, and Ling Zhuxi's resignation did not even stir up a wave, according to Gong Qingyuan, it is the general trend of the world, and those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. Zhao Guolong said that this was the words of the former premier, but it was not as flavorful as it was in Sichuan. Through this incident, Huang Tianhua has strengthened his choice, instead of using military victory to win, it is better to use politics to arouse the wisdom of the people, military victory is temporary, the arousal of the wisdom of the people is the basis for the rejuvenation of the great power in the East, and he will not hesitate to embark on the road of no return to politics.

Tuesday, September 14, Mid-Autumn Festival. The head teacher, Gan Lichu, was gracious at the beginning, and had a holiday at night, no self-study, and no dinner, so everyone made their own arrangements. If there is nowhere to go, go to the open space in front of Zhang Ganzhang's Mansion on Fulongzhou to barbecue and admire the moon. Wang Weicang is in charge of the work of barbecue and moon appreciation, and Wang is a ruthless character, and he clearly requires that those who do not participate can ask for leave, but they also need to pay the corresponding fees. Mo Di, Gong Qingyuan, Huang Tianhua and Zhao Guolong naturally did not participate, laughed at Wang Weicang for a few words, paid the fee honestly, and also asked for leave. Go to Mo Laowu's house in Fuhou, eat dinner at Mo Laowu's house, and after dinner, go to the small courtyard of Doumu Lane to admire the moon.

Under the wisteria trellis of Mo Enemy's house, it is a good place to admire the moon, although there is no river, you can't find the artistic conception of the lonely moon wheel in the sky without fiber dust in the sky, but the remoteness, the tranquility, but the riverside can not be compared. A small round table, four rattan chairs, a few mooncakes, and a pot of strong tea. The moon rises from the corner of the roof in the east, and the moonlight shines through the pergola and spills on the tabletop, dappled with dappled spots. The small wind stove was glowing, and the teapot was steaming. Several people were either sitting or half-leaning, smelling the fragrance of the plants and trees emitted by the vine trellis, and a feeling of extreme leisure arose.

"If I live in Guilin for a long time, I also want to find such a small courtyard and a fairy-like life." Zhao Guolong said.

"You also underestimate the immortals, this kind of environment can't be compared with the immortals, it's just well-off." Mo Di said: "You have been living in the army for a long time, and you suddenly found that life can be lived like this, and you have a sense of freshness. ”

"Tianzong is right!" Gong Qingyuan said: "In my hometown in Sichuan, I have a big manor and a small yard, and I have already enjoyed this kind of life. I now have a lot of affection for the half of the house in the countryside in front of Yuexidian, after all, there is my old wife and my concern. ”

"Where love is, it is attached to life." Huang Tianhua said: "I didn't understand this truth in the past, but I returned to the Yonglong Division in Taiping Town last year, and I really settled down, so I married a wife and had children, so I had a bond and a concern." Guolong should also start a family, once you have a family, you will know, how is home, there are people who have a home, no one, no matter how magnificent a home is, it is not a home. ”

"Yes! I'm here, and this is the second Mid-Autumn Festival I've ever had. In the past two years, I have lived a very relaxed and freehand life, from the 14th year of the Republic of China to the present, the most comfortable is these two years. Mo Di said: "I think that this is God's compensation for me, after all, I was almost finished on the Bayang River, and I survived in Lihuang for a few months, and since then, my attitude towards life has changed significantly, cherish every day, treat every day well, and live every day seriously." ”

"Isn't that a revelation?" Huang Tianhua said with a smile: "I am preparing to enter the WTO, but Boss Mo, you are starting to escape, which is a bit of a contradiction." ”

"Different paths lead to the same end." Mo Di smiled and said: "Whether you enter the WTO or escape from the world, the purpose is one point, to find a new way to live!" ”

When Gong Qingyuan heard this, he paused for a moment and nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he said to Mo Di: "Tianzong, at the end of the senior class, can you give me a stepping stone." ”

"Stepping stones! Knocking on whose door? Mo Di smiled.

"Your old friend, Wei Yongcheng." Gong Qingyuan said bluntly: "I listened to Tianhua's words that day, and I gained a lot, but whenever a capable unit leader is in charge, the first thing he wants to do is to grab the most critical position in his hands, and Tianhua knows from this that he can leave at any time." I also figured it out, I was the old unit brought by Li Benyi, and Li Benyi was transferred to the 176th Division, but I couldn't go there, because the chief of staff over there was appointed from above, and Li Benyi had no choice but to refuse. I am in the 138th Division, occupying a high position, but I am not Li Yingjun's descendant, Li Yingjun can't wait for me to give way and walk, in this case, why don't I take advantage of the situation and leave the 138th Division. Where to go, I thought about it again and again, instead of taking the path of other people, it is better to take the path of Wei Yongcheng, go to Lihuang, and casually seek a spare position in the political or military circles of northern Anhui, wouldn't it be easy to relax. ”

Mo Di laughed and said, "Senior Brother Gong, don't be too pessimistic, you are only forty points, and it is not yet time for the torrent to retreat." ”

Gong Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "When and where, it's not up to me to decide. I am forty-three this year, I still have the rank of colonel, and my prospects in the army are limited, so why not go to the political circles and become the head of a county, it is not in vain to live my life. ”

"Hehehehe, this requirement is really not high!" Mo Di said with a smile: "It's just that the county magistrate in northern Anhui is not as good as the county magistrate in Guangxi, I know the county magistrate of the six counties in Anqing West, and the county magistrate of Tongcheng Lujiang is also a friend, all of them are extremely hard." The county magistrate is a chore, an absolute chore! No problem, I gave this stepping stone, if you can't knock on it, I'll knock directly. ”

Huang Tianhua is also snickering, the chief of staff of the division-level unit, seeking an errand for a county magistrate, is not a promotion, but although the county magistrate is small, he is a first-level administration, and the so-called sitting in the north and facing the south is a real official. It is not easy to get the position of a county magistrate. Huang Tianhua predicts that as long as Gong Qingyuan is interested, a county magistrate will not be a problem, and the Gui family has been seeking to maximize the scope of management, but it is unwilling to let people see that they are engaged in a small group, so outsiders have some suspicion and are relatively more advantageous. The reason why Zhang Yichun, deputy commander of the 21 st Group Army, was able to enjoy himself like a fish in water was that his identity as an Anhui native accounted for a huge advantage.

Mo Enemy's moon cake is Hongqinglong's vegetarian five kernels, very traditional, no meat, not too sweet, very refreshing, wood-fired stove roasted on both sides of the yellow, charred with crisp. This kind of moon cake is an excellent refreshment, the entrance is not greasy, the tongue is smooth, walnut kernels, almonds, olive kernels, melon seed kernels, sesame kernels several vegetarian kernels flavor intertwined, or fragrant, or sweet, or bitter, or pungent, but just right, forming a new compound taste.

Unconsciously, in the middle of the moon, as white as silver, Zhou Shiming sent another tray, and in the tray was a pot of Guilin Sanhua, a plate of braised beef, a plate of pig's trotters, a plate of popped soybeans, and a plate of cucumbers. Zhao Guolong was happy and said: "Sister-in-law, you really know my heart, after drinking a few cups of tea, the oil in my stomach was scraped clean, and these moon cakes in front of me are vegetarian, so there is no meat to be strong." Just thinking about it, sister-in-law, you sent it up. ”

"Hehehehe." Gong Qingyuan shook his head and smiled: "It's good to be young!" You can eat and drink! ”

Mo Di also smiled and said: "It's just that the tea is replaced with wine, and the moon cakes are used to accompany the food." Qu Yuan sang in "Nine Songs": Aiding Ji Douxi to drink cinnamon syrup, the so-called cinnamon syrup is osmanthus wine, August 15, is to drink osmanthus wine. It's just that Guilin's osmanthus wine is different from Sichuan's, Guilin's osmanthus wine is the abbreviation of Guilin Sanhua wine. ”

"Hehehehe, it's far-fetched, but I like it." Gong Qingyuan laughed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it in one gulp.

The next day, there was news that the Yonglong Division took over as commander Su Tingxun.
