Chapter 14: Advanced (54)

A chief of staff, he didn't make a sound, several chiefs of staff got together, not only farted loudly, but also stinky and loud, not to mention, one of them was the chief of staff of the 48th Army and the chief of staff of the Tonglu No Garrison Command. Not so much as the chief of staff, Mo Di is more of a commander who can make up his mind, and he does not appear as the chief of staff on the battlefield most of the time, but as the commander of a regiment. The regiment commander is the most important link in the war, for the subordinates, the regiment commander who has independent human rights and financial rights is the senior commander, and the ordinary soldier sees the regiment commander is the highest commander. For the superiors, the regimental commander is the commander of an independent army, a general who can take charge on his own, and can create a unit similar to the style of the commander. Therefore, several chiefs of staff and staff officers, who were invincible to Mo Tianzhong, basically set the tone.

At the end of class, as soon as the four of them went out of the door, they saw one of the Chen Zhengxin guards waiting for them here, and the guards told them that Chief Liang from Yishan had arrived, and he and his family officials went to the Lamplight Fish Night Market at the East Gate of Shuidong first, and let them bring a few chiefs over.

From Xingchun Gate to Shuidong Gate, the distance is not far, climb the east city wall, go to the south, but it is only ten minutes, you can see the lively night market outside Shuidong Gate. Zhongzheng Bridge, across the Li River, extends to the past, is the flower bridge on the Xiaodong River, and at the end of the bridge, it is where Guilin's red light district is located. Shuidongmen, as the nearest urban area to Huaqiao, has become a night market in one fell swoop, and it is also the expectation of everyone, and it is faint under the shadow of the moon, and there is a little fishing fire from the Li River, which is like bringing a ray of soul to the Li River in this quiet night, bright and smart. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night in Guilin has been a little cool, there are many fewer people enjoying the cool on the side of the Li River, and the Zhongzheng bridgehead has also become scattered, fortunately, the hot pot has become popular, and the hot pot drinks some night wine in the cool breeze, and it has become the season when the water also emerges fine blisters, several huge fish heads sink in the water, floating on the soup noodles are ginger slices, shallots and dried peppers, yellow, red and green, and the embellishment is very good-looking. There are some raw ingredients around the side of the hot pot, mostly fish fillets, a plate of pork belly, a plate of stuffed oil tofu, and a large basket of green vegetables.

"You can wait for us while you drink." Mo Di said.

"Two people, drinking wine has no taste." Chen Zhengxin said.

Liang Yisheng first hugged Zhao Guolong, and then said hello to Huang Tianhua, he had a good relationship with Zhao Guolong, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Huang Tianhua, after all, he was the former chief, as for Mo Di and Gong Qingyuan, they were not separated for a long time, and they couldn't reach the level of missing.

"I heard Senior Brother Gong say that Yisheng has meritorious service in Wangjiang, not only did he not win the award but received a punishment, and most of the year has passed, I don't know if Yisheng still has resentment in his heart?" Huang Tianhua was unceremonious, and as soon as he sat down, he asked the first question.

The hot pot table is a square shelf, and a carbon stove can be placed in the middle of the empty space, and when it is cold, you can put a carbon basin iron to start a fire, and you only need to put a triangular brace in the middle, and you can also play hot pot. The six of them sat on four sides, Mo Di sat at the top, Chen Zhengxin and Gong Qingyuan on the left, Liang Yisheng from Huang Tianhua on the right, and Zhao Guolong sat at the bottom, in charge of adding charcoal to the fire and scalding vegetables.

Liang Yisheng sat among Huang Tianhua's invincibles, according to etiquette, this position can be regarded as the guest of honor. Hearing Huang Tianhua's words, Liang Yisheng smiled and said, "Yes before, when I returned to Guilin for the Chinese New Year, I complained to Boss Mo. The boss said two sentences to me, and I also figured it out, compared to those brothers who died in Anhui, I survived, and I have made a lot of money, as for being criticized for two sentences, it should be blown by a breeze. ”

"If you can have this idea, it would be good." Huang Tianhua said very solemnly that he is less and less like a chief of staff, but a politician: "Look left and right, there is Elephant Trunk Mountain on the right, Fubo Mountain on the left, and a Li River flows through. For tens of millions of years, more than wind and rain, how many floods have raged, the mountains are still there, and they do not bow their heads because of the wind and rain, let alone collapse because of the flood. When I left Anqing, I was not much better than you, and the crime of Chihua was much more serious than you. The mountain does not turn around, it goes around and around, I turn back again, maybe it won't be long before Yisheng will cross the mountain again. ”

Liang Yisheng smiled, he didn't know anyone in the military circles, as a graduate of the artillery department of the sixth branch of the Central Military Academy, he was already satisfied to be a colonel in Anqing, and many of his classmates in the same period were still in the rank of captain major. After returning to Yishan, he thought that he would be looked down upon, but he was warmly welcomed by the local military and civilians, and the common people did not understand politics, but they only knew that this guy overturned a Japanese plane with one shot, and killed a general on the plane, which was not ordinary. Wei Xusong, commander-in-chief of the militia regiment, was even more proficient, and gave Liang Yisheng, who was appointed deputy commander-in-chief, a warm but not grand welcome ceremony, and also told the local military and political circles that the reason why Liang Yisheng was brought back was not to demote him, but to hide it, because Liang Yisheng killed a Japanese general, and the Japanese were looking for him all over the world to take revenge, so he was transferred back. At the same time, I also hope that the villagers and elders will take more care and respect, but they must keep a low profile. In this way, wherever Liang Yisheng went, there were no longer onlookers, but he gained a lot of respect. Liang Yisheng thought that he would take off his military uniform from now on, disarm and return to the field, but he did not expect that after the order, there were only a dozen people left in the organization of more than 100 people in the headquarters of the Yishan People's League, and he was actually on the list, and the commander-in-chief Wei Xusong was demoted and retained, and he could still maintain his original military rank, the lieutenant colonel of the central interpretation.

"In the afternoon, Brother Zhengxin told me that he would take over as the head of the 46th Army Special Service Regiment." Liang Yisheng said: "The head of a regiment, saying that he doesn't want this position, the ghosts don't believe it, but it's not easy. I returned to Yishan from Anqing, although my father and fellow villagers did not regard it as a person, but if it collapsed, it would be a good name. ”

"It's man-made." Mo Di said: "As long as you are willing to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done." How to do it, let's figure it out together. ”

The water in the pot is boiling, the snow-white fish fillets are rolling in the pot, and the wild Lijiang fish is boiling for a long time, and the crispiness is abnormal. Zhao Guolong took out the fish fillets with a scoop and put them in the sauce bowl on the side of the pot.

Taking advantage of Sunday, Mo Di and Huang Tianhua Chen Zhengxin went to Liuzhou, met with Zhou Zuhuang, deputy commander of the 16 th Group Army, and told Zhou Zuhuang about the plan to turn the special service regiment into a frontier regiment. Tell the Mo enemies that it will take a week at most to wait for his news, and it can be restructured and subordinate to the Yonglong Division under the Office of the Pacification Director.

After returning from Liuzhou, Mo Di found Feng Yizhong and recommended Liang Yisheng of the Yishan League Management District to him. What he didn't expect was that Feng Yizhong actually knew that this was the punching bag of the Lihuang incident, and he didn't know whether it was out of righteous indignation or if he really liked Liang Yisheng's talent, so he promised that as long as the 46th Army Special Service Regiment was changed to a frontier regiment, he immediately ordered that Liang Yisheng be transferred to the deputy head of the frontier regiment and the acting head of the regiment, and the military rank was restored to colonel. As for Chen Zhengxin, as soon as Liang Yisheng arrived, Chen Zhengxin was transferred to the Yonglong Division to serve as acting chief of staff. Huang Tianhua, former chief of staff, was allowed to resign from his military post after graduating from the senior staff class of the Army Academy, and the Guangxi Provincial Government made other arrangements.

The post of county magistrate of Sile County has long been vacant, and if it weren't for Huang Tianhua's greed for the graduation certificate of the Army University, Huang Tianhua would have taken office at any time.

Su Tingxun, the new boss of the Yonglong Division, has no opinion on the newly appointed chief of staff, and with a border regiment in his hand, he has the confidence to speak. The most important thing is that with the border regiment in Longzhou, the Yonglong Division can legitimately move back to Nanning City from Taiping, and the conditions in Nanning are much better than those in Taiping, and Chen Zhengxin's influence in Zuojiang has also extended from Funan to Nanning. With Chen Zhengxin, it means that the Yonglong Division is no longer as poor and embarrassed as before, and Su Tingxun, who has spare money, also has the possibility of being chic in Nanning City.

All this happened and developed extremely fast, and on the day that Zuojiang's cargo ship docked at the Lijiang wharf, the dust basically settled. That night, the small courtyard of Modi Doumu Lane was very lively, the old furniture in the hexagonal hall was replaced with a seven-piece set of sour branches from Vietnam, and the sandalwood incense seat, Bogu frame and Huanghuali bookcase were placed in the north room, and the fragrance of books was fully revealed. The sour branch dining table came in handy, with eight drum-shaped stools surrounding the table, tableware from France serving local Guilin dishes, and a silver kettle soaked in Maojian from Dabie Mountain. As for the small half boat of Vietnamese fragrant rice, it was regarded as a treasure by Mo Lao Wu, packed in high-grade rice bags, made into gifts, and sent to Guilin's military, political and business circles, and became the best for a while.

"The courtyard of Tianzong is very harmonious with these furniture, as if it is custom-made." Gong Qingyuan said.

"Yes." Zhao Guolong also agreed: "When we come to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we always feel that the courtyard is elegant, and there is always something missing. ”

Huang Tianhua also smiled and said: "These things are not available to ordinary people, especially rosewood, which is not easy to grow. If it was a peaceful period, the price of these furniture would have bought this yard. ”

"So expensive!" Zhou Shiming, who came up with the dishes, was a little surprised, she knew that these furniture were very valuable, but she didn't expect them to be so valuable, and the gift that Chen Zhengxin gave herself was not light.

"It's not that dangerous." Chen Zhengxin said: "These pieces of wood are not valuable, I went to Vietnam to get them, and it didn't cost money." It took a little money to carry it back, and when it came to Shuikou, I asked the master to process it, and then paid some labor costs. ”

"You robbed it, of course it doesn't cost money, if it's bought, you see." Zhao Guolong glanced at Chen Zhengxin, and he really couldn't talk about the cost with the robbers.

"After Yisheng goes over there, try to get as many logs as possible, don't process them locally, if these logs are transported to Zhejiang, please ask the master over there to help, it is really valuable." Gong Qingyuan said.

Huang Tianhua nodded, deeply convinced.

Mo Di touched the delicate pattern on the Huanghuali, like cotton satin, and it was really a high-quality wood. He doesn't particularly care about these things, but he still understands the ugliness of things, and he can do it when he doesn't have things, and when he has good things, it's not right to use them. picked up a sunflower seed in the silver plate and threw it into his mouth, only to find that it was no different from the usual sunflower seeds.
