Xu Tong, who was daring on the battlefield, had no choice when facing Zhao Yucheng, an old superior who promoted him.
At that time, Zhao Yucheng defied all opinions to promote himself as a military officer, who was still a junior, and later supported his seemingly risky military action plan. It can be said that he single-handedly promoted himself to the position of senior military commander.
Without Zhao Yucheng's trust and promotion, Xu Tong doesn't know where he would be now.
Anyway, it is definitely impossible to become the commander of a corps at this age and become one of the eight most prestigious and powerful generals in the Ming Dynasty, with a great reputation.
So he looked at Zhao Yucheng helplessly and muttered softly.
"I remember what you told me back then, don't start a family before your career is accomplished. And haven't you been married for less than a year?"
"I... can I be the same then as I am now? At that time, everyone was precarious, who thought about getting married?"
Zhao Yucheng was a little hesitant at first, then gathered his confidence and pointed at Xu Tong.
"Now that the world has stabilized, is it appropriate for you, a commander of a corps, to be single? Do you know what it means to be single and irresponsible? That is to say, our Ming Dynasty is now a democratic republic. In the past empire, single people could not Do you know that you hold an important position?”
"This...I do know..."
"So, stop talking nonsense. When you go back this time, come with me. First go to Guangdong, meet your sister-in-law and introduce the girl to you. If there is no problem, we will settle the matter and then return to Sichuan from Guangxi. .”
Upon hearing this, Xu Tong was shocked.
"Huh? So fast?"
Zhao Yucheng's eyes widened.
"Ah what? Your parents are gone and you are the only one. I treat you like a younger brother. An elder brother is like a father. I can't interfere in your affairs?"
Xu Tong suddenly looked constipated.
"No, brother, that's not what I mean. What I mean is, I...I...I'm not ready yet, I..."
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you not prepared for? How old are you?"
Zhao Yucheng said dissatisfied: "Let me tell you, that girl is your sister-in-law's close friend. She is the daughter of a leader of a large tribe. She studied Chinese in elementary school. She has a bookish look and is very delicate. She has no petty temper at all. What a good girl. That’s you, others will see how reluctant I am to introduce you.”
Xu Tong's face turned red and he didn't know what to say.
Just when he was about to give Zhao Yucheng a reason to stop working, the "savior" came.
"Yucheng, no one is drinking with me, why don't you have a few drinks with me?"
Su Haisheng came to Zhao Yucheng's side, and a guy poured a large glass of wine for Zhao Yucheng. Zhao Yucheng was suddenly pulled by Su Haisheng to drink, which was quite surprising.
"Brother Haisheng? You...how much did you drink?"
"Not much, I just feel uncomfortable. Come on, come on, drink with me!"
Su Haisheng laughed and asked Zhao Yucheng to drink, but Zhao Yucheng couldn't get away now.
Seeing this, Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to run away.
The relationship between Zhao Yucheng and Su Haisheng is really good.
At that time, Zhao Yucheng carried out the first reform in the Liberation Army, but the Zhao family was overthrown and placed under house arrest. In the end, it was Su Haisheng who went to prison to rescue Zhao Yucheng, so the relationship between Zhao Yucheng and Su Haisheng began from that time. Become friendlier.
Later, Zhao Yucheng and Su Haisheng also corresponded many times, exchanged feelings and talked about interesting things, and the relationship was maintained well.
So Su Haisheng came over to persuade him to drink, but Zhao Yucheng couldn't refuse, so he drank three glasses of wine from Su Haisheng in a row. Zhao Yucheng couldn't bear it anymore and quickly pushed Su Haisheng away.
"Brother Haisheng, what's wrong with you? Are you so happy? Drink so much?"
Su Haisheng frowned when he heard this.
"Happy? Why am I happy? I drank so much because I felt uncomfortable! You actually said I was happy?"
"Not feeling comfortable? Why are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhao Yucheng was a little strange, but he quickly reacted, shook his head and smiled: "Oh, I understand, is it that the motion you proposed failed? Hey! What does this mean? Didn't I also have a motion that failed? It doesn't matter. , this is the people’s decision, we just respect it.”
Su Haisheng felt something was wrong when he heard this.
"The people's decision? Respect? Yucheng, you don't think this is a good thing, do you?"
"What's going on?"
Zhao Yucheng said doubtfully: "The decision made by the People's Congress is the people's decision. It is a decision made by 180 million citizens of the Ming Dynasty. This is the embodiment of the supreme national will of the Ming Dynasty. Even the chairman cannot violate the resolution of the Congress. What's wrong with this?" OK?"
Su Haisheng felt something was wrong and felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Yucheng.
But just when he was about to make a long speech, he suddenly remembered what happened between Zhang Yuejing and Su Jue, and he couldn't help but feel a chill coming from behind him.
He looked at the people around him again and felt that there were some things he couldn't say in public, so he pulled Zhao Yucheng to a place where there were no people around and had a heart-to-heart talk with him alone.
"Yucheng, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? You really don't know what's going on behind this matter?"
"What's going on? What's true or false? Why can't I understand what you're talking about?"
Seeing Zhao Yucheng's puzzled look, Su Haisheng began to feel that something was wrong with this kid. Even though his proposal was rejected, you are actually quite happy?
"Let me ask you, was your rejected proposal carefully prepared by you?"
"yes."
"Aren't you sad that you were rejected?"
"Why should you be sad? That is the will of the people. If the people think there is something wrong with my proposal, then just reject it and just put forward other proposals next time. It doesn't matter."
"That is a proposal that you have worked hard to prepare. It is a proposal that is condensed with experience gained from so many years of bloody fighting. Is there anything wrong with it? Can a group of people who have never fought in a war be able to make judgments based on so many years of experience? "
"Otherwise, I can't..."
Zhao Yucheng opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized what Su Haisheng meant.
"Brother Haisheng, why do I feel something is wrong when I hear what you say? Are you not satisfied with the decision of the People's Congress?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Facing Zhao Yucheng, Su Haisheng had nothing to hide. He burped and said dissatisfied: "What's going on during the march and fighting? Don't I know better than them? You said that if the General Staff Headquarters or the Chairman himself comes to deny me, I can still admit it." , but it just isn’t like this!
Even if I am nothing, then which one of our Central Committee representatives is mediocre? Which one is the incompetent person? Whether it's fighting, administrative, or making money, which one of them didn't get ahead by relying on their true abilities? They are all really capable!
You just said that the proposal we made should be handed over to a group of people who know nothing to make decisions? I don’t understand what’s there to talk about at all, and neither does the chairman. He himself admitted that these people have no ability to handle national affairs.
The results of it? It would be better to conduct a political training and not use the existing capable manpower. We have to send people from scratch to teach the people what politics, military and economics are. Can he teach them? Nothing we do is for the common people. What is the result? I was actually said to be a feudal patriarch! "
"Feudal patriarch?"
Zhao Yucheng was a little surprised: "What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
Su Haisheng sighed, and repeated what Zhang Yuejing said to him. He also said that this was what Su Yonglin meant, and he felt that his dedication to the people had been slandered.
"I worked hard and made a revolution vigorously, but in the end I was called a feudal patriarch. And to be honest about my class, except for my parents, who can share your heart and soul with you? What happened to the patriarch? Isn't it just for the sake of my class? How are they?"
When it comes to this issue, Zhao Yucheng has unexpectedly become an expert and has some say.
"Brother Haisheng, I think you really made a mistake on this issue."
"ah?"
Su Haisheng looked puzzled: "What mistake did I make?"
"Brother Haisheng, you haven't experienced it. You may not understand what a feudal patriarch is. Remember? When you went to prison to save me?"
"Remember, you were arrested by Zhao Xiang's gang and put in jail. I rushed in to save you. That bastard really has no conscience. Your father was so good to him, and he would do anything to you. hand."
Zhao Yucheng spread his hands and smiled slightly.
"Isn't Zhao Xiang just a feudal patriarch?"
