The two junior brothers were chatting and laughing all the way, and soon they arrived at the mercenary group's home in Shanghai - No. 75 Jisi Feier Road.
As soon as Zhou Wen got out of the car, he saw two men, four women and six men dressed as servants and a middle-aged man who looked like a chef lined up in a row. When he saw Zhou Wen, he was led by Zhao Ying, who was wearing a cheongsam. They all bowed to Zhou Wen and said : "Welcome home, young master!"
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Sister Ying, why are you doing this again? You really treat me as a young master."
Zhao Ying said sternly: "When the young master comes home, his servants will naturally come to greet him and salute him. From now on, when the young master develops his career in Shanghai, there will be no rules. Although our Zhou family is not a big family, we can't let others laugh at us."
Zhao Ying said this in a loud voice. Even a group of laughing brothers who were standing nearby waiting for Zhou Wen stood up straight after hearing this and wanted to salute Zhou Wen at attention.
Zhou Wen quickly gestured to his brothers in sign language to sign off, and then smiled as Zhao Ying introduced the servants and chefs one by one.
After sending the servant away, he said to Zhao Ying: "Sister Ying, you are right to ask your servants to follow the rules, but other brothers cannot ask for it like this. We are just ordinary people in Shanghai, and we keep the rules of the military in our hearts. , we can’t show it to outsiders, I didn’t have time to explain it clearly to you when I left last time.”
It turns out that Zhou Wen had already announced to the brothers who stayed in Shanghai last time that while they were in Shanghai, the brothers could not salute each other and try not to expose some military behaviors to outsiders. Now they just need to learn how to be ordinary citizens.
After explaining, Zhou Wen smiled and greeted his brothers, and walked into the hall laughing together.
Miaohua was not able to walk yet, so she sat on the sofa in the hall, looking at Zhou Wen with a rare smile.
Zhou Wen hurried forward to carefully check Miaohua's injuries, but Miaohua pushed him away and said, "Okay, okay, I just went to the hospital yesterday to take a picture. The foreign doctor said that the bones are growing very well, and now they can support them in the garden." I went for a walk here. If you continue to give me a massage these days, senior brother, if I just lie down for a few more days, I will probably lose all my energy from sleeping."
Zhou Wen joked: "What? You saw Xiaoping's broken mirror, are you feeling stressed? Hehe... I'll tell you some good news, senior brother. My kung fu has improved recently, and I guess I'm not much worse than senior brother."
Miaohua was not happy when she heard this. She squinted her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said disdainfully: "Don't be so arrogant. When I get better, senior brother, let's practice again. I think your skin is itchy after not being beaten for a few days." ?”
Next to him, Sun Dazhu also laughed and joked: "It's time for a competition. Instructor Peacock has been the number one in our mercenary group for too long. Now Xiaoping has also broken the mirror. I have fought against scholars in the future. Let's divide one or two first... oops!"
It turned out that before he could finish his words, Miaohua poked his soft ribs in the waist with his finger like lightning, causing him to tremble with pain and unable to speak.
Miaohua continued to attack him and said: "Look at your bearish appearance. Now that my hands have basically healed, I will sit on the sofa and fight with you. Let me check your recent entry and see if you have slacked off on your homework after I was injured. ”
Sun Dazhu rubbed the sore spot with a grimace and said: "Let's forget it. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you, so I won't be beaten to death by the scholar."
The Ergazi next to him laughed and said, "Garlic is a coward and a tough talker. Once instructor Peacock is healed, we should teach him a lesson."
Miaohua immediately said seriously: "Yes, I remember. When I recover from the injury, I will be the first to find Garlic."
The brothers next to you should also start cheering.
"Yes, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, so Instructor Peacock should be the one to blame."
"He has a tough mouth, it's time to teach him how to behave..."
Sun Dazhu immediately became anxious, jumped up and yelled: "We are brothers, aren't we? Bullying honest people, right? Instructor Peacock, please keep your eyes open and don't fall for the little fox like Gazi."
Zhou Wen smiled and scolded: "Brother? You have the nerve to say brother, when Chief Zhang came to scold me last time, who was the first to run away?"
Sun Dazhu knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and quickly argued: "Brother Shan Zi escaped first, and I followed him."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Brother Shan Zi is not in Shanghai. If you have the ability to kidnap him from Shanxi to Shanghai, I will not deal with you."
"I'm not the only one, aren't the others running away too?"
"No one can run away. If you fight me on the lawn tomorrow morning, Ergazi, no matter how you smile, you won't be able to run away."
"ah!"
Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment. How could they forget that scholars hold grudges?
At this time, Zhao Ying was holding back a smile and said: "Master, the wine and food are all here, let's start dinner."
Zhou Wen reached out to help Miao Hua up on the sofa, laughed and said, "Haha, let's go for a walk, eat and drink."
Sun Dazhu quickly shouted: "Brothers, we can't beat the scholar with our hands. Let's drink and knock him down today. Maybe he won't have the strength tomorrow."
"That's right, you're not stupid at all, Garlic!"
"Yes, yes, today I will drink the scholar down..."
…
Zhou Wen had a rare moment of relaxation for two days while he waited for someone from the Central Party Committee to come to Shanghai with letters of appointment for military officers at all levels to hand over.
After receiving Zhou Wen's telegram, the Central Party Headquarters acted quickly. At noon on the third day, Zhang Xinhua, secretary of the Central Party Headquarters and led by Zhou Wen, rushed to Shanghai with several officials.
What happened next was simple. The two generals of the 19th Route Army did not come forward, so they asked Dai Guoguang, the deputy chief of staff who previously managed logistics, to contact Zhou Wen.
Dai Guoguang and Zhou Wen can be regarded as old acquaintances. When the Shanxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, Zhou Wen's central party headquarters, first arrived in Shanghai, Dai Guoguang was in charge of the reception and arrangements.
Meeting acquaintances makes things easier. When Zhou Wen took over the list of wounded soldiers from Dai Guoguang, the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally settled.
You must know that although there are thousands of wounded soldiers, they constitute a considerable part of the elite backbone of the 19th Route Army. Once they are separated, it will be regarded as a loss for the 19th Route Army.
Therefore, for the two leaders of the 19th Route Army, General Jiang and General Cai, it was tantamount to cutting their hearts. Although it was a last resort, sadness was unavoidable. Zhou Wen had always had some hidden worries in his heart. I'm worried that if someone goes back on their word, I won't be able to do anything about it.
Now that we have the roster, it means that from this moment on, these thousands of wounded soldiers belong to the Central Party Headquarters, which means they belong to their own subordinates. From now on, the number of soldiers in the Second Detachment of the Teaching Corps has far exceeded 1,500 In order to meet the quota of people, Zhou Wen estimated that some older veterans would have to be eliminated in the end.
Of course, the eliminated veterans also need to spend money and efforts to properly resettle them.
