In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Liangzhen left Yinjiang.

However, Yu Bojun did not follow him, but stayed directly, and was sent by Zhong Yi to the officer training group as an instructor to train those veterans of the National Army who had been out of battle for a long time.

Yu Bojun just left, and He Wenxi arrived.

Although the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps has not been officially established, under Zhong Yi's instruction, the General Staff of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps has been established in advance.

He Wenxi, the chief of staff, has also taken office.

"Director Who?" Zhong Yi said, "Is there anything wrong?"

He Wenxi said: "She is my friends," he said.

"Oh, is that right? Let's take a look." Zhong Yi stood up after saying that.

The staff department of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps is located next to the municipal government. This was originally the school building of Yinjiang Commercial School. Later, Zhong Yi made a decision to build Yinjiang University, and the business school moved to Jiangbei, and the school building was vacant. Then it was requisitioned by Zhong Yi and became the staff building of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps.

In the future, this place will become the command center of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps.

Zhong Yi took He Wenxi into the gate of the staff and saw more than 100 people lined up in the yard.

Most of these more than 100 people are wearing quilts and washbasins. Although they are wearing casual clothes, people with discerning eyes can see that they are soldiers. Even if you want to hide their temperament, they cannot be covered up.

Zhong Yi also discovered that the mental outlook of these commanders and fighters of our party was slightly different from that of the officers and soldiers of the National Army.

At first glance, there seems to be no difference between the two, but if you look closely, you will find that there is light in the eyes of these commanders and soldiers of our party. They are full of love for life and hope and confidence in the future. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the National Army, especially those veterans of the National Army who returned from Shanghai, have dark eyes.

And this is the fundamental reason why Zhong Yi deliberately recruited more than 100 commanders and fighters through Lao He to the New Fourth Army.

Because Zhong Yi wants to use these more than 100 commanders and fighters to shape the spiritual outlook of the Coast Defense Corps in the future.

It should be said that the grassroots officers and soldiers of the National Army are actually not afraid of death. On the battlefield, they are also willing to fight for their lives, but more often, their desperate efforts are more like seeking death, dying for death!

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and the most fundamental reason is that senior officers do not regard grassroots officers and soldiers as humans.

Most of the time, senior officers will deduct military pay, only give grassroots officers and soldiers the worst food, provide the worst medical conditions, and even resell arms to fill their personal bags, but only provide grassroots officers and soldiers with the worst weapons and equipment, which ultimately gives grassroots officers and soldiers the feeling that life is worse than death, so grassroots officers and soldiers will seek death.

Because sometimes, living is really better than dying.

This is not the case with the armed forces of our party. The armed forces of our party pay attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and they cannot beat and scold soldiers. Therefore, most of the time, our party’s commanders and soldiers are not only brave, but also willing to fight to the death on the battlefield. Moreover, their hard work is to survive and live better! This is the biggest difference between the two!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "Director He, you choose more than a dozen educated people to stay. The others will go to the officer training group to participate in unified military training, and then arrange their positions according to their performance in the training group."

"Yes!" He Wenxi immediately selected a few educated people, and then sent the remaining hundreds of commanders and fighters to the officer training regiment in Zhaobaoshan.

...

When I got home from get off work, I found that there were many more people in the Zhang family villa.

To be more precise, there are many fully armed guards.

When I saw this attitude, it was obvious that my third brother-in-law Zhang Yuannan had returned to the old Zhang family.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the gate, Zhong Yi heard Zhang Yuannan's voice.

Zhang Yuannan complained to Zhang's mother: "Mom, you don't know how bad the food in our teacher is. I haven't tasted the meat for three months, it's so bitter!"

Zhang's mother scolded: "All nonsense is said, you are a major general and commander."

Zhong Yi immediately continued, "Mom, I'm afraid I'm not talking nonsense."

While talking, Zhong Yi walked into the living room and saw his father-in-law Zhang Mouzhi, mother-in-law Zhang Madam Zhang, second brother-in-law Zhang Yuanxi, brother-in-law Zhang Yuanfan, and wife Zhang Manyi were all there, talking around Zhang Yuannan.

Seeing Zhong Yi come in, all six of the Zhang family stood up, and father-in-law Zhang Mouzhi was no exception.

No matter how majestic some people pretend to be, others will not take them seriously, but there are still some people who are easy-going, and there is still a sense of majesty between their words and deeds. When they stand, others will never dare to take them lightly.

"Zi Ren, you're back." Zhang Yuannan said, "If you don't go back, I'm leaving."

"The third brother is leaving so soon?" Zhong Yi said in surprise. "I finally came back and didn't stay for a few days?"

"That's what you said." Zhang Yuannan said angrily, "I'll ask you to stay in Shangyu for a few days. Can you stay?"

When Zhong Yi heard this, his expression froze and asked, "Why, it's been two months, and the matters in the army have not been sorted out yet?"

"Clear it?" Zhang Yuannan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I haven't even figured out the clues yet. People and things in all aspects are too complicated. Let me tell you the truth. Ziren, don't joke. Now I really regret it."

"Speak nonsense." Zhang Mouzhi couldn't hold back his face and said angrily, "What do you regret?"

"I regret not getting out of the army." Zhang Yuannan, "I used to be very relaxed when I was in the General Staff. I ordered a mattress at work, and then I had basically nothing to do. After work, I should play mahjong and dance. I should dance that day. It was not like now. I really am a father and a mother, and I have to look for people to beg for alms everywhere when I see the sky."

Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said, "Is it really that difficult?"

"Dad, let me say this, it's a hundred times harder than you think!" Zhang Yuannan sighed, "I even posted all the subsidies for the division commander, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat a meal for two months, but even this is still a drop in the bucket. The gap in the army's funding is really huge!"

Zhang Mouzhidao: "Don't you care about the headquarters of the group army and the theater chief?"

"Control?" Zhang Yuannandao, "How do they manage? The military pay they can issue is getting less and less, but the purchasing power of fiat currency is getting worse and worse. Two years ago, the 500-cent fiat currency was able to be served in the restaurant, but in a month, they could not buy half a kilogram of rice. Now it is even more amazing. The people of Shangyu directly refused to accept fiat currency."

Zhang Mouzhi was silent when he heard this.

Because Shangyu was close to Yuyao, he was first influenced by Yinjiang and began to refuse to accept legal currency.

This put the 194th Division stationed in Shangyu in trouble, and food rations became a problem.
