1972 Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness
Duan Chenglin walked out of the house and saw two security guards lying on the ground outside. He hurriedly bent down to check. Fortunately, they only fainted. He woke them up after pinching them, opened their eyes and stood up.
After the two guards woke up, they were confused for a while and had no idea how they fainted.
Duan Chenglin secretly sighed, this Ximen Lang is really brave and talented! He looked at the two guards with gray temples and asked with a smile: "How are you? Are you injured?"
The two guards shook their heads, stretched out their arms and legs, and found nothing unusual. "It's okay, I'm in good health."
"Don't worry, Commander, our old bones can resist the fall..."
Duan Chenglin nodded, "As long as it's okay, you two notify all officers above the army company to gather at the Zhongxiao Hall. I want to hold an emergency meeting."
"Yes." The two guards agreed loudly and left quickly.
Duan Chenglin watched their backs go away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. My brothers are all old. Ximen Lang is right. These veterans who have fought for decades should spend their old age peacefully.
The Zhongxiao Hall is located in the middle of the camp. It is a large wooden house with a rough appearance. There are two pillars about a foot thick at the door. They are engraved with Chinese characters and painted in red. They are a couplet. The first couplet is: "Loyalty and righteousness always exist, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
"The second couplet is: "Filial piety lasts forever, and its reputation will last forever." From this couplet, we can see that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness occupy an important position in the hearts of the soldiers of the 38th Army, which has strong characteristics of the Z country.
More than ten minutes later, more than 20 officers gathered in the Zhongxiao Hall. Duan Chenglin told the Huamen that they were going to recruit the 38th Army. A group of officers had a heated discussion and thought this was a good opportunity. When they finally voted by a show of hands, they unanimously voted.
pass.
After reaching an agreement, Duan Chenglin went back in person, invited Ximen Lang to the conference room, and introduced him to everyone. Everyone had already heard that the head of the Huamen was a young tycoon, but when they saw him with their own eyes, they saw that he was clearly
He is a student-like figure, and he is still very impressive.
Afterwards, a simple recruitment ceremony was held in the conference room, with Ximen Lang as the introducer, introducing everyone to join Huamen. Since then, the 38th Army has become one of the halls of Huamen, named Jinchengtang. The original establishment has not changed.
Duan Chenglin is not only the commander of the 38th Army, but also one of the leaders of the Huamen Hall.
After the ceremony, everyone had excited smiles on their faces. From then on, their Thirty-eighth Army was considered organized, belonging to the well-known Huamen of Country Z, and they had hope of returning to their roots.
Duan Chenglin said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I would like to ask the chief sect leader to give us a lecture."
A group of people stopped making noise, and there was silence in the hall. Their eyes were focused on the young man who was under twenty years old, full of respect.
Ximen Lang said with a smile: "Everyone is much older than me, even older than my father. Logically speaking, I should call you uncle and uncle. However, the Huamen has always had rules, and initiates are brothers. Based on this,
Forgive me for having the guts to say, brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing that the general sect leader had no pretensions and was approachable, everyone felt a warm current flowing through their hearts. They applauded enthusiastically and responded in unison, "The general sect leader Bo Yuntian."
Ximen Lang recounted the rules of Huamen again, and a clerk wearing reading glasses wrote them down with a writing brush next to him, preparing to be framed in a book as a precept to restrain the officers and soldiers.
Later, Ximen Lang said: "Hall Master Duan, regarding the Thirty-eighth Army's joining Huamen, we must keep it a secret among the brothers. We can clarify this matter after we have dealt with other forces."
Duan Chenglin nodded, "What the chief sect leader said is that if we do this, we can catch them by surprise in the dark." So, he asked a group of officers to manage their subordinates well, and no one was allowed to leak the matter or disobey.
Anyone will be killed without mercy.
Ximen Lang said: "I have prepared ten vehicles as a meeting gift for the brothers. We are in Yema Town in the eastern part of the Golden Triangle. In order to maintain concealment, I can only trouble your troops to dispatch the vehicles and go and pull them back."
Duan Chenglin hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, Master Sect Master, for the gift."
Ximen Lang smiled and said: "We are all brothers, you are welcome."
After a while, ten large trucks left the camp and were led by Ximen Lang himself to Yema Town. There was a joint supply and marketing cooperative there. Ximen Lang purchased rice, white flour, cooking oil, even frozen pork, military uniforms and other supplies here.
After paying the storage fee, you can withdraw it at any time.
At 4:30 in the morning, ten large trucks covered with tarpaulins drove back to the camp and parked in the courtyard. Under the light, when many veterans lifted the tarpaulins, they saw bags of rice and white noodles, fans of frozen pork, sets of military uniforms and
The quilts couldn't help but let out cheers and unloaded the truck happily. Even during the Chinese New Year, they had never been so happy.
The life of many soldiers of the 38th Army was extremely difficult before. Even rice was not available in sufficient supply. They ate cornmeal steamed buns three days a week. As for the dishes, most of the time they were pickles and green vegetable leaves with little oil. As for white flour,
, there is no need to think about it, because wheat does not grow in the south, so flour is imported from country Z, and the price is three times that of rice, which is even more unaffordable for them.
Now, what many soldiers saw were two carts full of bags of rice, two carts of flour, each with thousands of bags, and a cart of pork halves. The surprise is simply difficult to describe in words. I enjoyed it as soon as I joined Huamen.
The completely different treatment and benefits made them feel very happy. They all felt that their choice was the right one, and they even regarded the general sect leader Ximen Lang as their savior and great fortune.
Soon, all kinds of materials entered the warehouse, and brand-new military bedding, camouflage uniforms and even underwear were distributed to every soldier. For the first time in forty years, these veterans who had fled abroad put on new clothes inside and outside, and their faces
There was a happy smile on his face.
At ten o'clock in the morning, many veterans put on new military uniforms and gathered in the open space. Army Commander Duan Chenglin said loudly: "Brothers, as the saying goes, never forget the man who dug the well. Everyone must repay the kindness. Who brought us this kind of thing?"
As long as we have an idea of his blessings, we hope that in the days to come, we will be loyal to the master sect and be worthy of him."
A group of people responded one after another, "Commander, don't worry, everyone knows how to do it."
"If we don't work hard, can we still be worthy of others..."
A smile appeared on Duan Chenglin's face, "Well, today is a good day for us people, and there is white flour, pork and so on. Let's all make dumplings to eat, celebrate, and then disband."
Everyone agreed excitedly. They had not eaten dumplings for more than ten years and couldn't wait to make rolling pins and chop the fillings. The excitement was self-evident.
