The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 338 Year

Otherwise, if Cai Junheng had died suddenly, their troops and territory would have been swallowed up by the covetous Rong Shihong.

For Jiang Cheng, the Cai and Hai families are what modern people call original shareholders;
Compared with the slightly poorer Hai Rushong, Cai Yuanzong had the equipment intercepted by Duan Zhigui at that time, as well as the Second Regiment stationed in Dapingzhuang.

In the eyes of the Cai family, they were very kind to Jiang Cheng. Without them, he wouldn't be where he is today.

But in fact, they are mutually beneficial. It is better to say that Jiang Cheng paved the way for them rather than that the Cai family made Jiang Cheng successful.

Not only did he escape the fate of being annexed, but when Jiang Cheng went to Siping to "divide the family", he also left most of his wealth and troops to Cai Yuanzong.

Dapingzhuang is only a stone's throw away from Fengtian. If the two brothers were really capable, they would have taken over the nearby Xiyingchang and Xinshi Village long ago.

But now, more than a year has passed without any achievements and it has been reorganized by Sun Liechen; while Liu Runchuan, who was in the same batch with him, has been promoted to brigade commander and has a new artillery regiment under his command.

"Huixin, you know the whole story. I married Xiaojuan mostly because of her love. In addition, you know in your heart that I also need the Cai family to help me with my big plans."

As he spoke, he reached out and held his lover's hand, "I have nothing to hide from you... Huixin, I let you speak out to persuade her for Xiaojuan and Chengye's sake;"

"I am currently serving as the acting commander of Jilin for Commander Zhang. I have to lead more people and soldiers, and the team will definitely grow bigger and bigger. Yuanming is one of ours, but he keeps making a fuss. I have no choice but to follow the example of the commander in chief dealing with Feng Lao San and deal with Lao Er as well."

"Let him lead the 134th Brigade to relocate to Siping. If it comes to this, he will not be able to continue his position."

At this point, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think of Shuai Ye's third concubine Dai Xianyu...

Her brother was also fooling around and was shot dead by the Marshal. From then on, the third concubine was never favored again.

Hai Huixin glanced at him and sighed again: "Feilan, I understand you, how can I not understand you?"

"But as a woman, I can only do this much to help you. Daddy and brother always care about your kindness, saying that without Feilan and Uncle Jingyan, we would just be raising horses in Liulihe... Daddy and brother are not greedy for the positions of regiment commander or brigade commander, or anything like that, and they don't have much money or power. They listen to you! We'll do whatever you tell us to do!"

At this point, she trembled and hugged Jiang Cheng's waist, leaning against his broad shoulders. "As for me, I just hope that our family will be happy and safe."

"Feilan, let's not fight anymore, okay? We women gathered together in Siping and worried about you at the front every day. Those days were too hard to bear!"

Hearing her heartwarming words, Jiang Cheng was so moved that he hugged her tightly.

He knew in his heart that in this chaotic world, it was impossible to avoid war.

The only thing we can do is to become stronger, control more territories and soldiers, and keep the foreign enemies out.

It's not easy to be a commander... Just defending against foreign enemies is far from enough.

There are signs of problems within the company now. If he fails to resolve them, it is very likely that the veterans under his command will not be able to distinguish between the big and small kings.

Hai Pingchuan and he have a life-and-death friendship, and Hai Rushong and his daughter are even more loyal to him - but they are not the only ones who have his men.

Once that thief sets a precedent, trouble will surely follow!

While Jiang Cheng was concentrating on thinking, Ye Hai had already brought up the prepared food and reminded him, "Master, it's very cold. You should eat it quickly and settle down earlier, right?"

"Staff Officer Jiang from the General Staff Headquarters called just now and said that the Marshal has come to Beijing to mediate and asked us and Commander Wu to keep a close watch on the gates." The old fox finally fell out with Old Duan and Little Xu... Next, Cao Kun's bribery in elections will infringe upon the interests of the Fengtian Army, and preparations for a Cold War between the Zhili and Fengtian armies will begin soon.

"understood."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "You are not being lazy, are you? I asked you to take people to clean up the mansion and buy food and daily necessities, but I see you are not doing anything."

Ye Hai scratched his head and smiled naively: "What are you talking about? Our Madam Hai is here, and you still want me to do it? Who can do this job as well as our eldest wife? Don't let me show off my skills in front of Guan Gong. I am more suitable to follow you, Master Jiang!"

Hai Huixin burst out laughing: "Look, these soldiers you lead are so eloquent!"

Since she and Zhang Tingxue both got married, one was in charge of the household and the other was in charge of the outside world: whether at home or in the army, the older Hai Huixin was regarded as the eldest wife.

Zhang Tingxue was more like a diplomat, managing businesses in Fengtian and Siping. She was even in charge of the coal mines and iron mines in Liufangzi.

"With you two good wives helping me, I don't have to worry half as much!"

As he spoke, he drank chicken soup, which was mixed with porridge and mushrooms picked from the mountains. It was very nourishing and nutritious.

After eating and drinking, the two went back to the room hand in hand and went to sleep. Early the next morning, they heard that Zhang Tinghui had taken a bus from Siping to Changchun.

Also setting off with him was a large family from Siping Prefecture.

Jiang Cheng also called Cai Chanjuan and asked her to bring her son and the rest of the family over.

Firstly, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and secondly, Cai Yuanming’s incident has become a big deal, so Jiang Cheng also wants to lay things out.

That evening, the whole family arrived. Cai Yuanming, who had been hiding in his room, finally showed up. He did not smile when he saw his sister and nephew.
"Feilan, I'm going to apologize to you in front of everyone."

Cai Yuanming didn't even wear his military uniform today. He apologized to Jiang Cheng, but his expression didn't show any guilt. Instead, it seemed as if he was being coerced.

Cai Chanjuan did hear that the two had a fight, but due to her gentle and taciturn personality, she couldn't really tell who was better or worse.

"Chengye... has grown a bit taller. Huixin hired a teacher to teach him how to count and the rules every day."

She calmed down for a moment and spoke to break the deadlock, "My eldest brother said he would be here in the evening - our family hasn't gotten together for a long time."

Her eldest brother is coming too?
Jiang Cheng felt a little touched after hearing this. Cai Yuanzong's coming to Changchun at this time was somewhat like a demonstration.

In front of Zhang Tinghui and his wife, he couldn't say anything, so he just nodded and smiled, "Come on, come on! This is how it should be when celebrating the New Year!"

Hai Huixin started to make arrangements early this morning and called the housekeeper to go out and continue shopping.

The western-style building is being decorated with lights and there is already a New Year atmosphere.

"I've been looking forward to your coming, Third Sister. I've missed you so much!"

Zhang Tingxue led her sister and brother-in-law to the prepared reception room, called Chunyan and the others to get food and drinks, and said, "How is our father?"
