The fight in the county middle school shocked the school army leaders. He Yingqin was worried about the response, so he ordered that no more gatherings be held without the approval of the school headquarters. At the same time, he began to strengthen mountain combat training in the entire regiment. He asked Zhuang Jihua to hand over the training plan and summary of the third battalion to the regiment headquarters, and after a slight modification, he sent it to each battalion. The amount of training was modified. He increased the training volume that Zhuang Jihua had already set a relatively high by one third, and all the officers in the school headquarters participated, which made the entire school army complain.

Chiang Kai-shek and Director Zhou returned from Chaozhou one after another. Director Zhou saw the report on this incident in Chaozhou newspapers. He was shocked at the time and rushed back to Meixian. As soon as he came back, he went to the Third Battalion to investigate all the criminal officers. These people were also very bachelor and did not shirk responsibility, and admitted whatever they did.

After the investigation, Director Zhou felt a little comforted. The matter was not initiated by the Qing Army, but he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xianyun, Li Zhilong and Yang Qigang. In the Third Battalion Department, Director Zhou made his first anger after serving as the director of the Political Department:

"The purpose of establishing the Youth Army Association is to unite classmates and young people; it is not a gang of gangs, not for fighting."

"Jiang Xianyun, you are the secretary of the special branch, Li Zhilong, Yang Qigang, you are the special branch committee members, and you should take the lead. What are you doing? Take the lead in fighting and violating military discipline, causing extremely bad influences."

"Do you want to know how Chaozhou newspapers reported? The large-scale infighting between the Huangpu School Army is still good, and..., you can read it yourself!" After saying that, he threw a stack of newspapers in front of the three of them.

There are no outsiders in the battalion department now, and all officers of the third battalion, including Zhuang Jihua, have avoided them. Jiang Xianyun and the other two dare not take the stack of newspapers, nor dare to argue. They stood there straight. Director Zhou was calmed down a little after he got angry. Jiang Xianyun then said: "I am the secretary of the special branch and should bear the main responsibility. I request organizational punishment."

"The punishment cannot be eliminated. The influence must be restored." Director Zhou was particularly angry when it comes to regaining the influence. He had long known that He Zhonghan and other Kuomintang students were planning to establish the Sun Yat-sen Society, so he tried to persuade He Zhonghan to expand his feelings to place the society within the Qing Army Association and then influence it. Now that this happens, the work in the past may have to be done again.

"Everyone is forgiving the country and let others restrain themselves. How good it is. I think you are not as enlightened as comrades outside the party." Director Zhou said with some regret. After listening to Jiang Xianyun's report, Director Zhou deeply agreed with Zhuang Jihua's ideas and strongly supported Zhuang Jihua's coordination meeting. He felt that this might be another opportunity. At the same time, he seemed to easily persuade Zhuang Jihua, and also praised him.

"You must establish the coordination meeting as soon as possible, remember these eight words, remember to unite classmates and unite young people are your main task."

"yes."

"Remember, as long as the matter of principle is not involved, everything else can be compromised. You must never fight."

"Yes, we remember." The three of them replied at the same time.

After Chiang Kai-shek returned, Director Zhou had prepared the investigation report and handling opinions. In his proposal, Li Zhilong, He Zhonghan, the leader, was to fire and retain him and transfer him back to Guangzhou to work to observe the results. Jiang Xianyun and Yang Qigang were given serious warnings and removed all positions. He once expanded his situation, and Xu Jishen was given serious warnings,...

Chiang Kai-shek also saw this news in the newspaper. He was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand to the ground and cursed him for more than a dozen times. After returning to Meixian, his anger was calm. Now, he was a little sad and reluctant to let go when he saw the handling opinions put forward by Director Zhou.

"E, is this too heavy? Young people are full of energy and impulsive." Chiang Kai-shek said hesitantly.

"Principal, the impact of this matter is too bad. If it weren't for their youth, the first culprit should have been shot." Director Zhou's face was serious.

"E, these are all useful talents. I can give them another chance. I cannot agree." Chiang Kai-shek disagreed. According to this opinion, the two of the three heroes cannot be turned on within a few years. Jiang Xianyun, one of the two heroes, and Yang Qigang, the rising star in the political department, could not escape. Chiang Kai-shek felt a little heartbroken.

"If the principal does not do this, he cannot purify military discipline and cannot let them learn from his lessons."

"No, I still can't agree. This is too heavy. I want to give them a chance." Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and said, "In this way, He Zhonghan is the primary person who caused this incident. He will be removed from all positions. Li Zhilong gave a warning for his right and wrong, and transferred back to the military academy. Everyone else will be criticized."

"Only transfer Li Zhilong back to the military academy?" Director Zhou was a little surprised. Since Chiang Kai-shek said he would take it lighter, why did he transfer Li Zhilong back?

"E, you don't know. Smelov, the Navy's department, asked Brother Zhongkai to form a Navy Political Department. Brother Zhongkai's ears were soft and could not stand the grinding, so he agreed. But we don't have a naval major in Huangpu. I thought about it. Only Li Zhilong, who had studied at Qingdao Naval School before, was considered a navy person. This time, he was considered punishing him and also being transferred to him. He killed two birds with one stone. Just tell him privately about this matter, don't spread it to the outside." Chiang Kai-shek laughed.

"Okay, but, Principal, you are protecting your shortcomings." Director Zhou was relieved, but on the surface he reminded him again.

"Protect your weaknesses, protect your weaknesses. They are students in our country. Students make mistakes. We teachers should be the main education and punishment as supplements. Besides, did Zhuang Jihua say that there must be murderous aura in the army, and soldiers must be bloody. This is what they count. That's it, you do it." Chiang Kai-shek admitted to protecting your weaknesses without hesitation. Director Zhou couldn't help but feel funny in his heart when he saw that Chiang Kai-shek actually found Zhuang Jihua's words to excuse him.

After leaving Chiang Kai-shek's office, Director Zhou vented his anger. If Chiang Kai-shek really did what he said, it would be really bad. Although Director Zhou had only been dating Chiang Kai-shek for a few months, he had already figured out Chiang Kai-shek's temper. If the handling opinions were lighter, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely be heavy; if it was heavy, he would definitely be lighter. For insurance, Director Zhou specially listed all the students' names on it, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel heartbroken after seeing it.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek convened all officers at a meeting at the platoon level and above to announce the handling of the incident.

Treated as all officers, Chiang Kai-shek called the leading He Zhonghan and Li Zhilong to the queue and scolded him in a stern manner:

"…, your behavior is to embarrass Huangpu and to smear our school soldiers. So I will deal with you severely and set an example for everyone, and a bad example. Our school soldiers are the founding place of the Prime Minister. I

Students of the Prime Minister, are your behavior worthy of the Prime Minister's spirit in heaven? Since I have been very proud of us. Why? It is because our military discipline is strict and we have not violated the people. What will they think now? I will deal with you severely. You are officers, and you are officers, so how do soldiers do it?"

Zhuang Jihua was furious when he saw Chiang Kai-shek in the queue. Although He and Li stood in front of him, they could not see their faces, but they could feel the pressure they were under. Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly changed the topic.

"You think everything will be fine if Chen Jiongming retreats to Fujian. The revolution is successful, he is confused and short-sighted," Chiang Kai-shek raised his hand and slashed it down hard: "Now some people are saying that the Prime Minister has passed away and no one leads us. No, the Prime Minister has left. We still have Consultant Bao, Consultant Bao can still lead us in the national revolution, and the revolution can still win."

When he said this, Chiang Kai-shek stopped and looked at everyone, there was a burst of hesitant applause from below. Zhuang Jihua clapped his hands and thought, "Who is Chiang Kai-shek talking about?" Why did Borotin mention him? What was he thinking? Is the situation in Guangzhou changing?

"Some people say ** is not suitable for China, and some comrades in the party oppose ** with this. I think they are either confused or forget. What the Prime Minister said is people's livelihood, which is not inconsistent with the Three Principles of the People. This principal supports the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, and whoever opposes ** will oppose anyone; I ask the school army I lead to become a model in this regard."

"This Eastern Expedition, the people enthusiastically supported him. This is the mobilization of the ***. The **s are also brave and good at fighting and performing well. What reason does our Kuomintang have to oppose them? I ask you to keep in mind the Prime Minister's teachings, implement the three major policies, maintain cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and oppose separatism."

Thunderous applause broke out below, and Jiang Xianyun, Yang Qigang and other members even tried their best to applaud and welcome him. In contrast, although Li Anding and others applauded and welcomed him, their expressions were even more wandering. Zhuang Jihua judged in his heart that Chiang Kai-shek must have done something, so that he would not suddenly become a pro-communist.

"That's another reason why I'm going to punish them severely today."

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he announced the decision to deal with the two. After hearing this, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel relieved, but he was completely relieved. This was really raised high and gently fell down. It seemed to be a bit harsh, but in fact it was just a little bit harsh in the punishment of He Zhonghan. Although He Zhonghan was deprived of his position, he would be promoted back in the future and he didn't have to worry about it.

—

Zhuang Jihua was wary of what Chiang Kai-shek said later. His judgment was that the political situation in Guangzhou had changed, and Chiang Kai-shek might need help.

After the meeting ended, Zhuang Jihua was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Jishi, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to see him.

Chiang Kai-shek's office was spacious but very simple, with an office desk and two single sofas in front.

After Zhuang Jihua came in, Chiang Kai-shek's expression was completely opposite to what he had just said: "Sit down, sit down and talk to the Cultural Revolution." It was not the first time that Zhuang Jihua was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek, so he sat down upright.

"Relax, I'm a little uncomfortable with you." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and made a Zhuang Jihua-like joke.

Zhuang Jihua laughed and said, "The principal was furious today, and the students were still in fear."

Chiang Kai-shek's face turned aside and said seriously: "That's to criticize them. They want to be the same as you, and I want to worry less."

Zhuang Jihua stopped speaking, and it was difficult to answer this.

"Cultural Revolution, I'm looking for you today. I'm missing a lieutenant. Contact the lieutenant. I want you to take this position." Chiang Kai-shek gave up his purpose, but he was very kind.

Zhuang Jihua was in a dilemma. This was a job that he could not even get away from. He thought he would have avoided it after being promoted to battalion commander, but unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek still proposed it. He didn't know how to refuse for a while.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Chiang Kai-shek was a little puzzled: "Why don't you want to?"

Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to plead, "I am very grateful to the principal for appreciating me, but I don't know if I can do it well. The principal also knows that he is a person who is not aware of the superiors and the teachers. Usually, he depends on the principal and the teachers tolerate him. If he is an adjutant, he will definitely contact senior officials. If he offends them, isn't this causing trouble for the principal?"

Chiang Kai-shek felt relieved and agreed with Zhuang Jihua's evaluation of himself. However, he thought Zhuang Jihua was useful, so he could use it by his side and observe and cultivate it.

"It's nothing. Yu Jishi is mainly responsible for delivering official documents and letters, and when I am inconvenient, I am also in contacting some people on my behalf." Chiang Kai-shek said, looking at Zhuang Jihua with a bright look. Of course, Zhuang Jihua understood that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to pull him into his core, but he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Zhuang Jihua hesitated and said, "What should I do if the Third Battalion?"

"Who do you think you have to give it to?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"In my opinion, it's best to give it to Hu Zongnan, but if that happens, Hu Zongnan will be too fast to improve, and Fang Jin and Yuan Weitai will definitely have ideas, which will not help Hu Zongnan carry out their work. And the two of them... In fact, I still hope to give it to Hu Zongnan so that the tradition of the 7th Company can be maintained." Zhuang Jihua finally recommended Hu Zongnan to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Traditional?" Chiang Kai-shek did not understand why Hu Zongnan could maintain tradition.

"Yes, tradition, the Seventh Company is now the strongest unit of the Third Battalion. Both the fighting will and style are much stronger than the other two companies. When the Seventh Company was leading the soldiers, the students paid great attention to the sense of honor and responsibility of the Seventh Company soldiers. The students believed that this sense of honor and responsibility should be formed into a tradition. I have communicated with Hu Zongnan many times. He understood my purpose, so he is the most suitable. In this way, after two to three chief officers, the tradition will naturally be formed. However, once this tradition is changed or interrupted, it will take ten times of its original strength to rebuild it." Zhuang Jihua explained in detail, and Chiang Kai-shek also understood. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "Then let Hu Zongnan be the battalion commander of the Third Battalion. Fang Jin and Yuan Weitai can be transferred to the newly established Third Regiment to serve as company commander."
