The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 223 Returning like an arrow
After the impassioned speech, the entire auditorium burst into long and warm applause. Zhang Zuoxiang, the head of the hall, also gave a speech. He then announced the disbandment and three-day vacation, allowing the cadets to go home to visit their families, etc.

Jiang Cheng had been eager to return home for a long time. Besides missing his pregnant wife, he was also concerned about the construction of Dapingzhuang and Liulihe Horse Farm.

The announcement of disbandment was almost at noon. Today was not officially a holiday, but the cadets had already started packing their luggage one after another.

A three-day vacation is not long, but if your home is near Fengtian, you can still stay for two days.

After returning to the dormitory and packing up his things, Jiang Cheng said goodbye to Zhang Hanqing and the others, and invited Hai Pingchuan and the others to return to the Hai family's ancestral home.

However, what Jiang Cheng did not expect was that Feng Yong actually called Jiang Cheng and suggested that he would stay at his house for a while.

In fact, on the way back to Fengtian, Jiang Cheng noticed that he wanted to talk but hesitated several times, but because of Zhang Hanqing and the others, he did not talk to him in detail.

But now he actually took the initiative to bring it up, Jiang Cheng immediately laughed and said: "How can you stay for a while? Just treat it as your own home from now on!"

"Come on, I'll ask the butler to prepare some delicious food and wine."

We walked out side by side and saw that the gate was full of cars that had been waiting there for a long time. There were also many rickshaws that had received the notice in advance that the Military Academy would be closed and had been waiting there long ago.

The Hai family's ancestral home was on Zhulin Road, and they arrived there soon after walking side by side.

When the housekeeper Luo Zhen saw the master come in, he ran up to greet him, holding up the hem of his long coat and exclaimed, "Oh, it's quite a military hall to say that tomorrow will be a long holiday, and the young master is back now!"

Hai Rusong was not at home during this period, and his daughter Huixin stayed in Dapingzhuang;
At the beginning of May, the whole Feng Province was filled with the warmth of spring. The several crabapple trees that Mrs. Hai had planted before were in full bloom, presenting a flourishing scene.

Jiang Cheng threw some dollars at him and told him to go to Huixianlou to order more good wine and food. He raised his hand and gestured to Feng Yong: "Brother Feng, please. I'll ask the maid to make some tea."

Hongxiu and Chunyan followed them to Dapingzhuang, and the only one left in the yard was the cooking and tidying maid Zhenniang. As soon as she saw them come in, she started to get busy, serving tea and snacks, which made Feng Yong feel a little embarrassed:

"Feilan, you are too polite! I have nowhere to go during the three-day holiday, so I just want to join in the fun with my brothers..."

As the second thief, Cai Yuanming was very smart and said immediately: "That's right, we are just staying together during the long vacation!"

"Brother Feng, let's stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning I'll ask my brother to send a car to pick us up and take us back to Dapingzhuang. As the old saying goes - show your hospitality as a host."

Feng Yong smiled and waved his hand, "Look, what you said is still not polite enough?"

Seeing that they were talking, Jiang Cheng stood up and said, "Regardless of whether you are polite or not, Brother Feng, you should follow the host's wishes. Come with us to Dapingzhuang tomorrow!"

"Haha, I'll go to the study and make a phone call now."

The first person to get through after entering the door was Xinmin. Unexpectedly, my father was not in the lobby of Xinmin's office. The person who answered the phone was Gao Wensheng:

"Feilan? Are you back from your study tour in Shanhaiguan? Is everything going well?"

"I heard from your father before that when you were in Jinzhou, you followed Guo Guizi to attack the county town. I was quite satisfied with your performance, haha."

Are you satisfied yet?
Stop joking. Even though he didn't mention it, it would definitely be trouble if we provoke the Japanese.

But he didn't say these to Gao Wensheng, and added: "Well, uncle, don't praise us... We are just here to report that we are safe today."

"Xiaojuan is doing well at her parents' home, and Huixin is doing well too - after the baby is born, we will go back to Xinmin and live together for a while." I chatted with Gao Wensheng about the situation in Xinmin again, and heard him describe that both the government affairs, finances and the military situation have become normalized.

After hanging up the phone, he called Liulihe Horse Farm. Since receiving Jiang Cheng's care, even though he was only a regiment commander, the number of cavalrymen under his command was far more than that.
The horse farm has expanded more than three or four times its original size. Since the beginning of spring, barracks have been added and logistics have been increased.

"Feilan, your father wanted a batch of war horses at the beginning of last month. I told him that this matter needs to be discussed between you and your father, and he was a little anxious. Hahaha..."

"What are you talking about? I haven't even separated from you yet, but you're already dividing us into relatives and friends! This is a bit like treating me like a son..."

Hai Rusong's voice was a little proud. "But at the end of the month, he didn't mention it again. Then I heard that your father expanded another horse farm on the east side of Xinmin. Judging from the situation, Liulihe will be yours from now on."

Jiang Cheng laughed a few times at first: "Haha, even if it's mine now, it will still be mine someday in the future!"

"Even if it doesn't reach my hands, it's still my son's and his grandson's, right?"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng added, "But Uncle Hai, you are so mean. Just give him a few horses. Why do you have to act like you are in a hurry to seize power from me?"

Unexpectedly, Hai Rusong was really stubborn: "No way, didn't we agree before that the horse farm is under your management——"

"Alright, alright, isn't it just right now? Your father has completely given it to you now."

After confirming the situation at the horse farm, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone and called Dapingzhuang.

When Cai Yuanzong heard it was him, his voice immediately lit up with joy: "You guys are back?"

"Someone came to the Marshal's Mansion the day before yesterday and told us to prepare a celebration for your success. The General Staff will issue an order to promote you to the head of the regiment."

So fast! ?

He had vaguely heard some rumors: the first class of the Military Academy would graduate in two months, and it was inevitable that Zhang Hanqing would take charge of the Guard Brigade.
And his promotion to regiment commander and sending him to Siping seemed to have been agreed upon with the Marshal beforehand.

"At this critical moment, don't be too eager to be happy - wait until it's settled."

Jiang Cheng quickly said seriously, "Brother, send two cars to pick us up tomorrow morning... And please find a spacious and bright room in your house and clean it up carefully."

"During the long holiday, the young master of the Feng family will come to visit."

This time he was quite surprised. He actually heard Cai Yuanzong take a deep breath: "He's coming? What is he coming for..."

The 28th Division is now at loggerheads with Fengtian. It is said that Feng Delin has been conspiring with the Japanese in Zhengjiatun, and it was he who was responsible for the attack on Mr. Wu last time.

What was Feng Yong doing in Dapingzhuang?
"I think it's just to avoid suspicion."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Everyone knows that the two Hanqing's fathers have torn their faces apart now - I think Zhang Hanqing will definitely invite him to live in the Marshal's Mansion."

"He couldn't refuse, so he just came to our Daping Village to stay for two days! Anyway, it's better than staying in the Military Academy and being watched by others, right?"

"Alright, alright, big brother, stop thinking about his evil intentions. Feng Yong is not that kind of person."
