The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 97 Examination
"I was just about to talk to you about this. It's really inconvenient not having a phone at home."

Jiang Cheng had actually thought about installing a telephone a long time ago, but now that these distinguished guests had come to his house, he could change the subject, so Jiang Cheng was naturally happy.

When she saw Cai Yuanzong, Hai Huixin was stunned at first, but after exchanging glances with him from the side, she didn't reveal anything.

As they were welcomed into the house, Hai Rushong, as the host, naturally greeted them and the atmosphere was always relaxed and pleasant.

In addition to installing the telephone, Shou Yi asked the Marshal to come over and actually asked her to arrange his marriage with Cai Chanjuan. He also said that the money given was for him to go back and build up his family assets, and that he would not touch her money for anything else.

"It's only half a day. I'll ask a tailor to come and take your measurements... Also, we have to choose a good day!"

Shou Yi looked around and asked, "You haven't seen your fiancée again?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Cai Yuanzong beside him, who then hurriedly said, "Fifth Madam, my sister and my second son are handling my father's funeral in Dapingzhuang."

"My mother was so sad that she fell ill and had no time to come to the provincial capital to visit me."

Shou Yi sighed and said, "That's right. Captain Cai died... The family must be in a mess, right? It's thoughtful. They didn't even take care of their father's funeral, and came to the city with Fei Lan to see the commander."

At this point, she pinched a handkerchief and patted her thigh, "Oh, look at this handsome man, he is really...his father just passed away, how can he rush to hold a wedding? Otherwise, you would think that our Zhang family is so ignorant!"

In fact, Jiang Cheng also knew in his heart that it was not appropriate to do this at this moment.

But the 2nd Regiment of Dapingzhuang is currently unable to support itself, and both the Cai family and himself want to complete the marriage as soon as possible.

"Fifth Madam, please stop saying that... Master Shuai cares so much about us little ones, Fei Lan is so moved that she cannot express it any more."

Jiang Cheng said quickly, "Especially for young kids like us who have never experienced anything, we are almost like headless flies. We have to trouble you, Madam Wu, to make the decision on everything!"

"Okay, if you say that, I'm going to be very generous, haha."

As the descendant of General Shoushan, this youngest concubine has always been favored by the Marshal because of her Wang Xifeng-like capable style... Of course, she also likes this feeling of being the center of attention.

"Then give me their birth dates first, and I'll go back and find a suitable master to take a good look at them. After the mourning period is over, we can start the arrangements."

Jiang Cheng quickly agreed and thanked him repeatedly. Shou Yi then ordered the housekeeper he brought with him to follow Luo Zhen to see if there was anything else to add to Hai's house.

The group chatted and soon turned the topic to the current situation in Fengtian.

It is said that President Li reorganized the parliament, and General Secretary Duan Qirui sent Xu Shuzheng from Beijing to Fengtian, and he was busy both inside and outside the parliament.

The alliance between the two families began to take shape.

The topic soon turned to Zhang Hanqing - he had been hanging out with a few classmates he hadn't seen for a long time recently, and had become rusty in his studies.

At this point, Shou Yi added, "The entrance exam is almost here, you youngsters, please don't embarrass me."

"Fifth Madam, don't worry. I dare not boast of the first place, but as for the top three, Fei Lan is determined to win."

"Yo... Fei Lan is still the most ambitious, haha!"

As Yu Fengzhi spoke, her expression became more and more disappointed. Seeing this, Hai Huixin hurriedly said, "Brother Hanqing will be fine!"

"That's right, no problem..."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Cheng saw that it was getting dark, so he asked Luo Zhen to arrange for the guards to go and call the brothel.

It had been a while since they had reminisced about the past, so they drank a few more glasses of wine as they were happy, and after the reunion, they forgot about it. The next day, after simply handling Cai Junheng's funeral, the Cai brothers and sisters also arrived in Fengtian - but they did not follow Jiang Cheng's arrangement and stayed in a hotel on North Street.

Hai Pingchuan also arrived home. After briefly explaining the situation of Dapingzhuang and the 2nd Regiment of the Garrison, Jiang Cheng came up with a plan.

Neither the division commander Feng Delin nor the brigade commander Rong Shihong came to cause trouble for the time being;

And because of Cai Junheng's sacrifice, the two of them sent people to pay tribute to comfort his wife and children.

It seems that the situation is relatively stable: as long as the higher-ups don't cause trouble, Jiang Cheng doesn't plan to take any action. After all, the most important thing right now is the exam in two days.

I did ask about the exam once in advance, hoping to find out more about the exam subjects and the approximate scope. The man smiled and said: A bunch of rough people want to study, can Guo Guizi still give them difficult questions?
It does make sense, but Jiang Cheng didn't take it lightly. He still looked for books like "Infantry Drill Manual" and took a look.

On the 25th day of the eighth lunar month, the entrance to the Military Academy at No. Zhulin Road was crowded with young people who came to register for the exam, almost blocking the entire street.

The enrollment list of the Military Academy was announced publicly, and students between the ages of 16 and 25 with good physical fitness and passed academic subjects were accepted.

You know, the Military Academy has been closed for two years due to various reasons. Now Zhang Zuolin, the warlord of Fengtian, has raised funds to reopen the school. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that:

This gentleman must want to reorganize his army and expand his camp to train strategic talents for himself.

To put it more clearly, if you can finish this period of the Military Academy well, you will be able to find a good job under the governor in the future!

And most importantly, this issue of the Military Academy only has an "officer corps" but no "sergeant corps", and its value is self-evident.

"Wow, so many people?"

Since they lived nearby, Jiang Cheng and his friends were not in a hurry to leave, but they heard bursts of noise outside the courtyard wall while having breakfast.

Holding a half-eaten boiled egg in his hand, Hai Pingchuan smacked his lips.

"Come on, let's eat quickly and then we can go and take a look."

Jiang Cheng picked up the remaining half bowl of porridge and drank it all, then went back to the house, changed into light clothes and shoes, then pulled Hai Pingchuan and Yang Yucheng out.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed in front of the gate of the Military Academy - Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that from the accents they spoke, it seemed that they were not just from the Northeast.

It seems that too many people know the interests involved in the Marshal's opening of a school this time, and even people from inside the Great Wall want to take advantage of the fun.

"By the time we get in line, we'll really have to be old to have a baby."

Jiang Cheng complained, "With so many people, can Guo Guizi pass the exam?"

Unlike the modern systematic college entrance examination procedure, how could the Republic of China have the conditions to organize a unified examination with such a large number of people?

Wu Yangdu rushed in to take the exam?

There's no such big space inside. It's going to be a mess. It's not like we're in a crowded vegetable market...

What exactly is Guo Guizi planning to do?

"Listen up, everyone, don't push or make a scene,"

Right at the front of the crowd, someone was shouting, "Don't be anxious or panic, you can all pass the exam!"
