The next day, Xu Chongzhi returned to the headquarters and saw Chiang Kai-shek waiting for the team to scold him. Then he went to the office with Chiang Kai-shek and entered the office. Xu Chongzhi asked, "Third brother, why did you come without sending a telegram? I can go and pick you up too."

"The telegram was not connected on the road, and it was nothing big. I just wanted to talk to my elder brother about the aftermath of Dongjiang." Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have no concern about Xu Chongzhi being away from the headquarters for a day.

"I haven't thought about this yet. Forget it, let's talk about it after the war." Xu Chongzhi obviously didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to raise this question, so he evaded.

When Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was referring to the firefight between Zhang Mingda and a small group of Chen Jun on the border of Guangdong and Fujian, he sneered: "Brother, Chen Jiongming's troops either went to Fujian or Jiangxi. There was no big war in Dongjiang. Zhang Mingda was raising thieves and respecting himself. On the way here, I saw him set up a lot of cards to search Lin Hu's remaining troops for the people, but in fact, it was for the purpose of collecting taxes. Brother, I can remind you that you should be careful about him so as not to be difficult to cure the tail."

"Third brother, you're too worried. Mingda has never been able to bear me for many years, and he is not a thief." Xu Chongzhi took out a piece of information from the table and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek: "Look at it."

Chiang Kai-shek took it and took a look. It was an intelligence report on the military updates in Fujian and Jiangxi:

The military supervisor of the Southern Military Affairs Office Benren was stationed in Longnan, Dingnan and Quannan. The army of Linhu in the three counties of Fujian Zhou Yinren reached an agreement with Chen Jiongming to set up Zhao'an and Pinghe, and several counties of Yunxiao were stationed in Hong Zhaolin's troops; Zhou Yinren intended to send the Fujian army to assist Chen Jiongming's troops in counterattack Dongjiang. At present, the Fujian army Zhang Yi's troops have been set to Zhangpu, and Li Minggao's troops in Changting have been set to Dapu.

After seeing Chiang Kai-shek finishing reading, Xu Chongzhi said again: "Third brother. Mingda is not at ease in front of him. I know there are some misunderstandings between you, but you are my third brother. He is also following my old subordinates, so you are still united."

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he said with a sigh: "Brother, what are you talking about? My brother and Mingda are just a dispute. I, Mr. Jiang, will never pay for my private expenses." After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Brother, Commander Zhang has a relatively large defense zone and a small force. In this way, our army entered Meixian and served as the back of Commander Zhang. I don't know what my brother thinks."

"The school army suffered heavy casualties and its vitality has not yet recovered. Now we are moving to the front line. Third brother. You have to think clearly that this is all your future capital." Xu Chongzhi felt a little sudden about Chiang Kai-shek's enthusiasm. He knew Chiang Kai-shek. When he was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to go to Xikou to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to come back, he analyzed it clearly for Chiang Kai-shek. In the past year, Chiang Kai-shek did exactly what he said at the time, and it seemed to have done better. Moreover, several talents emerged during this Eastern Expedition by military academy students. In his opinion, these talents were selected from a thousand miles away from the city. As long as Chiang Kai-shek grasped Huangpu, his future achievements may be limitless.

Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts were turning quickly, but he said readily: "It's nothing, Meixian is just the second line, Hong Zhaolin suffered heavy losses in the Eastern Expedition." At this point, he suddenly realized in his heart and was deceived.

Hong Zhaolin suffered heavy losses and finally escaped to Fujian. It was impossible to recover his vitality in less than a year or two. The victory of the Eastern Expedition, and the morale of the Guangdong Military Academy was high. How could Zhou Yinren take advantage of Chen Jiongming? Zhou Yinren's move can be said to be a counterattack on Dongjiang, or to be said to be a guard against the Eastern Expedition Army entering Fujian. More of them were probably to be guarded against Chen Jiongming's army to rebel western Fujian. Fujian's purpose may be concealed from Hu Hanmin in Guangzhou, but it could not be concealed from Xu Chongzhi. Chiang Kai-shek knew that although his elder brother liked to smoke smoke and play with women, he was definitely not a fool. He must have concluded that Zhou Yinren had a loud thunder and little rain, so he didn't even care about it, and he didn't even pass the information to himself. If he hadn't accused Zhang Mingda, Xu Chongzhi would never have taken it out. Then Zhang Mingda's behavior must have been related to Xu Chongzhi.

Although so many thoughts happened in his mind in an instant, Chiang Kai-shek never stopped talking: "I can't counterattack Dongjiang for a while. If my brother is fine, I will go back to Guangzhou in the afternoon. There are still a group of replenishing troops in the military academy, and I can replenish the troops immediately."

"Since that's the case, then do it this way. Third brother, I will have a drink and dust for you tonight. The Mianhu victory. Brother, I haven't served you a celebration wine yet! Haha." Xu Chongzhi was in a very comfortable mood.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek raised his face and persuaded: "Brother, you are not going to that kind of place. Where did you come back from? Go again in the evening..." Chiang Kai-shek shook his head when he said this: "I'm afraid that someone would criticize you. Brother Yu's reputation will be damaged, so let's forget it, let's not worry about this glass of wine, and you and my brother don't care about this glass of wine."

Xu Chongzhi was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He did not expect that after Chiang Kai-shek became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, he would have really disappeared. When he met him in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek was a romantic and heroic person at that time.

"Okay, if you don't like going there, we won't go. But we still have to drink this glass of wine in the evening. It's not just a sea flower."

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he wanted to refuse again. Xu Chongzhi waved his hand and called the adjutant and asked him to go to the best restaurant in Tingtao Pavilion to book a full fish banquet.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek left and returned to Guangzhou for the first time.

On the same day, the Huangpu School Army left Xingning and moved to Meixian.

Since becoming the battalion commander, Zhuang Jihua feels better than being the company commander.

Now he now formulates a training plan every week and then handes it over to them to carry out the plan. He only needs to check it. However, after moving into Meixian, Zhuang Jihua judged that the troops might have to go to the border of Guangdong and Fujian, so he began to conduct mountain combat training for the troops.

So the Third Battalion pulled out of the city every day and carried out mountain marches and offensive drills on the mountains around Meixian. Zhuang Jihua's training plan was often adjusted because he didn't know how to practice mountain combat training, so he had to cross the river by feeling the stones and summarize while practicing.

However, his move made the Third Battalion complain. The other camps were just taking a simple rest and training in the city. They practiced the queue every day and raised the bayonets for a few strokes. However, they were all day long and went up the mountain. It was very hard. Some people in the 7th Company even began to complain that Zheng Dongguo had to come forward to persuade Zhuang Jihua to not be too nervous in training.

Zhuang Jihua did not argue with Zheng Dongguo, but asked the entire battalion to gather. Facing the entire battalion, Zhuang Jihua first started from the Eastern Expedition, counting every battle he participated in, every casualty of the soldiers, and then asked everyone whether he could enter the warehouse after the Eastern Expedition, and put his horses into the Nanshan Mountains. Why were we transferred to Meixian? Whether western Fujian or southern Jiangxi is a mountainous area. If we don’t know how to fight in the mountainous areas, once we go to the front line, we have to use our lives to make up for today’s training. This is the reason why we sweat more in normal times and less bleeding during wartime.

—

Some soldiers asked if they were going to fight in Fujian? This is the characteristic of Zhuang Jihua's troops. Soldiers can ask questions with permission after the commander spoke. His regulations not only made Fang Jin and Yuan Weitai feel uncomfortable, but even Qian Dajun, the regiment commander who came to inspect, felt uncomfortable. However, Zhuang Jihua insisted on implementing this regulations. He believed that soldiers had the right to know the reason why they were going to die, and the commander had the responsibility to answer their questions.

Zhuang Jihua's answer to the soldier's question was that he didn't know, and then asked him if he didn't have to practice mountain combat without going to Fujian? Can he be sure that the future battle will not be in the mountains.

Then someone asked why other troops were not practicing, only they were practicing. Zhuang Jihua asked him if he had seen any casualties in other troops. If they didn't practice, they would have to compensate for their blood and life. Are you willing to do this?

This made the soldiers laugh. Zheng Dongguo didn't understand that these soldiers could also talk to Zhuang Jihua at will in the queue. Other troops would be regarded as an offense to the authority of the commander, but Zhuang Jihua didn't care at all, and sometimes even deliberately joked with the soldiers like this. What he didn't understand was why this did not affect the growth of Zhuang Jihua's prestige at all.

It was obvious that Zhuang Jihua won again because the soldiers had fewer complaints and more motivation in the subsequent training. The fierce training of the Third Battalion attracted He Yingqin's attention. When Chiang Kai-shek was not around, He Yingqin was the highest commander of the school army. He called Zhuang Jihua to the school headquarters for inquiries. The school army's command was not called the headquarters but the school headquarters, so as to show that this was a unit affiliated to the Whampoa Military Academy.

Zhuang Jihua reported to He Yingqin that he believed that the troops were likely to attack the border of Guangdong and Fujian and even western Fujian, so he should strengthen the troops' mountain combat training. Zhuang Jihua's judgment of the future combat direction of the troops was basically the same as He Yingqin, and He Yingqin knew more than him. But He Yingqin could not tell these situations to Zhuang Jihua and Pan, so he only reminded Zhuang Jihua to pay attention to the emotions of the troops. Seeing that He Yingqin had the intention of supporting him, Zhuang Jihua was happy and said carelessly that the troops' emotions were fine. He had done the ideological work of the troops. Seeing that he looked like he knew that he did not take his words to heart, He thought that he would forget to arrange for them to rest, so he ordered the Third Battalion to be the law enforcement team in Meixian tomorrow and Zhuang Jihua was the star officer. Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled by this order.

"Chief Instructor," Zhuang Jihua still habitually called He Yingqin's position in the military academy: "The star officer doesn't need me as the battalion commander to be the leader."

The law enforcement team was actually the military police in the future. Zhuang Jihua almost fell down when he saw him for the first time. The star-holding official led a team of soldiers to patrol the streets. He held a token on the stage with a big "order" written on it, just like an actor on the stage. But now, let alone Huangpu, there is no military police in China yet. It is a law enforcement team. Zhuang Jihua is too lazy to make suggestions and follow the local customs.

But he didn't want to let him act tomorrow, so he immediately found a way to refuse. He Yingqin saw him and laughed in his stomach, deliberately teasing: "Why can't the battalion commander act?"

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect that He Yingqin knew his evaluation of the law enforcement team, so he had to smile and said, "That's right, we are a battalion commander at least, otherwise I'll send a company commander, otherwise Zheng Dongguo would be the one."

He Yingqin said with a frown: "No, the Political Department will organize a party with all walks of life in Meixian tomorrow. The main officers of each department must participate. Therefore, we must pay special attention to military discipline. Besides, the battalion commander's words are more effective than the company commander, right?"
