Chapter 41: Garrisoned in Wanxian County

A week later, the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission ordered that Song Xilian's 36th Division was transferred back to Nanjing from Fujian, while the 88th Division was transferred to Sichuan and stationed in Wanxian County, east of Sichuan.

Chen Xiuwen of Wanxian had a little impression. He turned out to be a county below Chongqing, but later it seemed to be renamed Wanzhou District. However, Wanxian in this era was the third largest city in Sichuan, second only to Chongqing and Chengdu, and it was also the second largest commercial port in Sichuan Province along the Yangtze River.

Just as the troops were about to move defense, Chen Yi came to Nanjing to find Chen Xiuwen. Chen Xiuwen has been very fond of the old man since he entered the military academy. He was already the major battalion commander not long after graduation. This time, Chen Xiuwen's troops were about to move defense into Sichuan. The old man felt sorry for his youngest son, and Chen Yi brought a check of 10,000 oceans to Chen Xiuwen. The Shen family is really a big family. Although the second young master Chen was a lie, he basically left nothing for Chen Xiuwen, but Chen Xiuwen came. In this era, I accidentally saved nearly 20,000 oceans. In addition to my fixed monthly pocket money of 300 oceans, my sister and brother-in-law often stuffed him a little. With this 10,000 oceans, Chen Xiuwen's assets were almost 30,000 oceans. In this era, 30 oceans were enough for a family of three in Shanghai, the highest price in the country, to spend a month very well. The purchasing power of 30,000 oceans is equivalent to 3 million in later generations.

After receiving the check of ten thousand oceans handed over by Chen Yi, Chen Yi took out two envelopes from the bag and handed them to Chen Xiuwen and said, "Second Young Master, this is the letter that Mr. Yu asked me to pass on to you when he was about to come."

Chen Xiuwen took two letters, one for himself, while the other one was written by Brother Shixian. Chen Xiuwen couldn't understand who this Brother Shixian was, so he quickly opened his letter, and there was a check in addition to two letter papers. Seeing the check, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help laughing. It seemed that his father-in-law was quite good to him. He knew that he was going to travel far, and he still remembered to give him money. However, when he saw the denomination on the check, he couldn't help but open his mouth and put his mouth in an O-shaped shape, with the words 50,000 yuan clearly written on the check. The father-in-law was really big, and he took action five times more than the old man gave him.

Chen Xiuwen quickly unfolded the two letter papers and read them. Yu Zhantang told Chen Xiuwen in the letter that Yu Wenwan had returned to his hometown in Ningbo to relieve him. At the same time, he also tactfully stated in the letter that Yu Wenwan was spoiled since childhood and that Chen Xiuwen would be more tolerant. The 50,000 oceans were for Chen Xiuwen to spend money outside. After reading this, Chen Xiuwen knew very well that Yu Zhantang must have known that he and his precious daughter were not very happy. At the end of the letter, Yu Zhantang told Chen Xiuwen that he had a good friend Zeng Shixian in Wanxian, who was a celebrity in eastern Sichuan. When Chen Xiuwen went to eastern Sichuan to garrison in eastern Sichuan, he could go to him if he had anything to do. Yu Zhantang also asked Chen Xiuwen to bring his own handwritten letter to Zeng Shixian.

There is no doubt that Yu Zhantang still attaches great importance to Chen Xiuwen, his son-in-law. After reading the letter, Chen Xiuwen was a little amused and amused with the check of 50,000 yuan and Yu Zhantang's letter. He and Yu Wenwan are fake couples, and according to Chen Xiuwen's understanding, the two of them will never really get together in the future. Yu Zhantang's friendship made Chen Xiuwen feel very heavy.

"Thank you Chen Yi, thank you for your hard work. It's rare to come to Nanjing once, and play for two days before going back." Chen Xiuwen took out fifty oceans from the drawer and handed them to Chen Yidao.

If we were to put it in normal times, Chen Yi would have taken over the ocean happily and enjoyed the beauty of Qinhuai. But today he did not take over the ocean that Chen Xiuwen handed to him. He looked at Chen Xiuwen and said, "Second Young Master, I won't go back. I will continue to follow you from now on."

Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but stare at Chen Yi with wide eyes and said in surprise: "Chen Yi, are you not mistaken? Follow me? Do you still want to join the army?"

"Second Young Master, I have been with you for so many years. To be honest, I am not with you for the past two years. How can I be with you as a security captain in the factory be happy? Besides, with me by your side, I can protect you." Chen Yi grabbed his head and said.

"Oh, it's true that you are following me just to have fun. Chen Yi, I will tell you that I am a military camp, and there are many more rules than in the factory, and if you make a mistake, it's not as simple as fine or fire. If you don't do it, you'll have to be shot. You can figure it out." Chen Xiuwen said with a smile when he saw Chen Yi. In fact, Chen Xiuwen was quite happy to let Chen Yi follow him. This kid not only has a correct marksmanship, but also has good kung fu. Even Cheng Dean is not his opponent. However, Chen Yi is a veteran and is too slippery, so Chen Xiuwen first talks about ugly things.

"Hehe, Second Young Master, you don't know. I, Chen Yi, have been withstood guns for a few days under Sun Dashuai. I understand the rules in the army. I promise not to smear on your face. Besides, if I don't do anything else, I will be a guard for you, and you can also supervise me at all times. Besides, when I came out this time, I also told the master that the master said that you only have a word for your second Young Master." Chen Yi was well aware of Chen Xiuwen's temper. After hearing what Chen Xiuwen said, he knew that his tone had loosened, and he quickly said with a smile.

"Okay, then stay here. However, I can only let you be a big soldier first."

"It's okay, Second Young Master, didn't I say that I joined the army to protect you. It's okay to be anything." Chen Yi said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll ask Wang Xiaoshuan to take you to fill in the quota and collect your clothes." Chen Xiuwen patted Chen Yi's shoulder and said with a smile, pointing at Chen Yi's nose and caring: "There is another point you need to pay attention. In the future, you can only call me the battalion commander in the military camp, and you are not allowed to call me the second young master again."

"Yes, battalion commander." Chen Yi quickly stood at attention and honored Chen Xiuwen with a standard military salute.

Three days later, the 88th Division officially set off from the water route to eastern Sichuan. Although Chen Xiuwen was a little uncomfortable like many soldiers when he first boarded the ship, he quickly adapted. The Yangtze River in that era was still very clear, and the scenery on both sides was still original. After two days of restoration in Hankou, he continued to head to eastern Sichuan. On the way, Chen Xiuwen was fortunate to enjoy the scenery of the famous Three Gorges of the Yangtze River that was flooded by the construction of the Three Gorges Project in the future.

Although Wanxian was named county, it became a special area of ​​Wanxian at that time, controlling the seven counties of Kaixian, Zhongxian, Yunyang County, Fengjie County, Wushan County and Wuxi County, including Wanxian in eastern Sichuan. In particular, Wanxian is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in the eastern corner of the Sichuan Basin, crossing the throat of the Sichuan River, facing the Three Gorges in the east, and 327 kilometers from Chongqing on the waterway and 321 kilometers from Yichang. It is a key water and land junction in eastern Sichuan. It is known as the "Gateway of Sichuan" and has always been a place that military strategists must compete for. Therefore, the Military Commission placed the 88th Division, the most elite Central Army, in the Wanxian area. As the main regiment of the 88th Division and the division headquarters, it was stationed in Wanxian County, and the first battalion of Chen Xiuwen was stationed at the foot of the Xishan not far from Wanxian Wharf.

I have to say that the deputy battalion commander Zheng Huaishan is very capable. From the troops' departure to the stationed in Wanxian, Zheng Huaishan arranged all the food, drink, defecation and scattering affairs in the entire battalion in an orderly manner. Chen Xiuwen was also happy to be the boss of the hand, and he left all the logistics affairs to Zheng Huai, while he went to various companies to train.

One afternoon, when Chen Xiuwen had just returned to the battalion headquarters from the first company, Zheng Huaishan came to him.

"Battery Commander, I want to report something to you." After entering the door, Zheng Huaishan nodded and said to Chen Xiuwen.

"Old Zheng, what's the matter? Tell me." Chen Xiuwen said with a smile.

Because Zheng Huaishan's outstanding work, Chen Xiuwen often wins over him.

"Battery Commander, I have a friend in Wanxian. He asked me for something. But I dare not make any decisions and wanted to ask the battalion commander for advice." Zheng Huaishan seemed very careful when he spoke.

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, he felt a little surprised. Now, except for training in the camp, Chen Xiuwen has left all the affairs of all major and small to Zheng Huaishan. He dared not make any decisions? Then he said "hmm" and signaled Zheng Huaishan to continue.

Zheng Huaishan licked his lips and said hesitantly: "This is the thing. A friend of mine runs a business in Wanxian. In a few days, there will be a batch of goods to borrow our military supplies terminal to get ashore." Zheng Huaishan said, while secretly observing Chen Xiuwen's face. Seeing that Chen Xiuwen was not abnormal on his face, he then said boldly: "My friend said that if the battalion commander can do it, he is willing to give this reward." As he said that, he stretched out five fingers and shook it in front of Shen Xiuwen's eyes. He was worried that Chen Xiuwen would not understand, so he lowered his voice and said, "Five Hundred Oceans."
