Chapter 71: Meizhou (Second Update)

  "Then you can pray now, pray that you marry a good husband!"

  Then Wu Xiaohuo felt that her cheek was kissed by Mao Feng, Wu Xiaohuo was not calm, she felt that her heart was beating wildly, her whole body was soft, and there was a wave of heat! She knew her face must be red! She didn't know what to do next!

  Lu Qingfang and Pan Ruoxia were stunned, watching everything that was happening in front of them. They saw Mao Feng let go of Wu Xiaohua. Their first reaction was not to step forward and scold Mao Feng, but instead they both took a step back. They were all afraid that the next target would be themselves.

  One unstable, Wu Xiaohua felt herself about to fall to the ground, she didn't think that Mao Feng would let go of her, but immediately afterwards she felt herself being surrounded by a strong masculine aura, she saw Mao Feng's face appear in front of her eyes, with a smiling and gentle expression, this made her realize that she was being held in Mao Feng's arms, being hugged tightly!

  Never had such a feeling, never been so flustered, never felt so powerless. Wu Xiaohua's mind was a complete blank, she just tightly grasped Mao Fengzhi's arms, not wanting to let herself fall down.

  She heard Mao Feng say by her ear at this time: "Be careful, if you fall down and get hurt, I will be heartbroken!"

  The hot air in her mouth made Wu Xiaohua's ears suddenly turn red, and seeing such a shy Wu Xiaohua, Mao Fengzhi's feelings had changed greatly, the phrase "beauty can be devoured" suddenly jumped into his mind.

  Wu Xiaohua was slowly helped up by Mao Feng, Wu Xiaohua barely regained consciousness, she didn't dare to look at Mao Feng, she felt that she had lost face just now!

  Mao Feng returned to his seat, while Lu Qingfang and Pan Ruoxia immediately supported Wu Xiaohua on both sides. Lu Qingfang asked with concern: "Is everything okay?"

  Wu Xiaohuo simply shook her head, while Mao Fengzhi smiled and joked: "I don't know if you three have anything else to do? I'm always happy to help! Especially for the three beauties!"

  "Rascal! Big rascal, old rascal!" Wu Xiaohua threw down this sentence and turned to leave! It's not like she was walking, it's more like she was running! Lu Qingfang and Pan Ruoxia saw Wu Xiaohua leave, they also quickly left the place, none of them wanted to become the next Wu Xiaohua.

  Mao Feng couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh heartily at the scene before him, feeling an unspeakable sense of pride and exhilaration.

  The Hakka people are a force to be reckoned with in Guangdong! The Hakka people are a branch of the Han people, and their earliest origins date back to the Qin dynasty's migration. By now, the Hakka people have formed their own customs and culture.

  The Meizhou area has a residential area for Hakka people, and Meixian is an exclusive area for Hakka people! The Shaoguan area in northern Guangdong is also a residential area for Hakka people! For the Hakka people, Huang Mingyang has always been fair and will not discriminate or show favoritism.

  Maofeng attaches great importance to the Hakka people, also because many generals in history were Hakka people, and Meizhou was the hometown of General Ye! Xue Yue in northern Guangdong is also a Hakka person. Zhu De and Ye Ting are also Hakka people, and Guangdong is the region with the widest distribution of Hakka people.

  Huang Mingyang was cautious when cleaning up Meizhou, regarding the power of the Hakka people in Meizhou. The Hakka people have always been united, and if one household is touched, it will be a crime against the whole clan! Moreover, many Hakka clans have armed forces at their disposal, and dispersing them would not be enough to intimidate them, but uniting them would require careful consideration.

  Huang Mingyang also knew why Liu Chun or Jia Cheng were not allowed to come to Meizhou, and why he was brought over. Was it because they were all unsuitable, while he himself was suitable? Huang Mingyang really did not want to take on the role of commander.

  However, after he himself became the commander of the Third Division, he no longer had such thoughts. When did he also become a division commander? In less than a year, he was also a division commander! This idea made Huang Mingyang feel grateful to Mao Feng! He also knew that his ability was not enough to take on this important task, and in order to sit firmly, he could only work hard! After careful consideration, he relied on Ding Zhong's coordination from the middle, and he suppressed all the unmanageable troublemakers. Then he began a major rectification, mainly focusing on the military and government aspects!

  Recruitment, naturally can't avoid recruiting Hakka children! These Huang Mingyang are also completely released! The Hakkas have used them well, and that's also an unstoppable force! Huang Mingyang has been trying to integrate into the Hakkas these days, which is also a brain-draining effort! On the one hand, let the Hakkas accept themselves, on the other hand, also let the Hakkas know their own strength!

  At the same time, he is also very respectful of a big boss in Meizhou, He Ziyuan. This man is not only an elder of the Tongmenghui, but also a big boss of the Hongmen! A real big boss in Meizhou, before coming, Mao Fengzhi had instructed Huang Mingyang to pay attention to this person, must make friends with him and cannot afford to offend him.

  He Ziyuan recommended Luo Shiyang as the county magistrate of Meizhou, and Huang Mingyang naturally agreed on the spot and reported to Mao Feng's place. Soon, Luo Shiyang's position was settled! Although this is a bit informal, Chao Mei Tang is an undisputed fact in Mao Feng's hands!

  He Ziyuan originally did not want to involve his hometown in the war, and he also wanted to see what kind of person Mao Fengzhi was. Originally, he thought that if Mao Fengzhi was a talented person, he would recommend him to Sun Wen, but now it's unnecessary, as Mao Fengzhi has already defected to Sun Wen. As a result, he even more strongly supports Huang Mingyang's work!

  One thousand Hakka youths put on military uniforms and became soldiers of the Third Division! The Third Division was formed by the original third division soldiers who returned to their posts, as well as Huang Mingyang's second battalion. Now there are more than 1,500 new recruits! From a numerical perspective, the Third Division has regained much of its vitality, but its combat effectiveness still needs time and battles to be tested.

  Ye Shuai's hometown is also one of Mao Feng's key areas of focus, and it is also a place where Huang Mingyang has been actively promoting. In recent days, at the very least, they have maintained a polite facade. The Ye family has always been a prominent and respected family in Meizhou, with a reputation that is not ordinary. He Zi Yuan also has a good relationship with the Ye family.

  Huang Mingyang had just returned from the recruit camp, he tilted his head and took a sip of tea, letting out a long sigh, he muttered: "This life is really bitter! Who has a master personally leading troops for training? Is it still a new soldier?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy officer beside him said: "Commander, this can be handed over to the people below. You should put your energy into more important things."

  Huang Mingyang listened, but instead of being happy, he became furious and said to the deputy officer: "You don't know anything! These are not just new recruits, they're all Hakka people. Do you know what that means? As long as the Hakka people's hearts are with us, no, with the commander, or even with the military seat, then there won't be any hidden dangers in Meizhou or even the entire Chao-Mei-Tan area! What is this thing called 'the people's heart'?! Are you saying that the Hakka people would rebel? If so, I'd be the first to suffer! You're just a pig brain!"

  The deputy's face stiffened, and he immediately lowered his head and smiled obsequiously, looking nothing like a soldier. Huang Mingyang said helplessly, "You're my nephew, you should also know some reason, one day you'll have to face it independently, who can you rely on then? I can't always be backing you up!"

  Zhang Xi, Huang Mingyang's cousin, said with a sad face: "Big brother, I'm just capable of this much, what else can I do? Otherwise, I'll just be your deputy forever?"

  Huang Mingyang felt a wave of annoyance and helplessness in his heart, he said angrily: "Get out of here immediately, get out! I'm furious when I see you!"

  "Yes, I'm leaving right now!" Zhang Xi immediately turned around and left, closing the door while still bowing his head and hunching his back towards Huang Mingyang.

  Huang Mingyang loosened his tie and was about to sit down when the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and said, "Who is this? I'm Huang Mingyang!"

  He heard Maofeng's voice and immediately straightened his face, respectfully saying: "Commander, no, General, what instructions do you have!"

  Mao Feng listened and immediately rebuked: "How can you be like this too? You haven't learned anything else well, but you've learned this? Are you going to lecture me? Do you really want to lecture me? Hmm?"

  Huang Mingyang's expression didn't change as he said, "Your Excellency, this is necessary, it must be so in official matters, everyone says the same thing! Isn't this a manifestation of your prestige?"

  Mao Feng listened and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How is everything on your end?"

  Huang Mingyang said: "Everything is normal here, all going according to plan, no chaos, the guest family side is also very calm! As ordered by General, He Ziyuan and Ye Jia are key points of attention, the new recruits from the guest family are also very cooperative, this troop has reached 80% of its strength! What's lacking now is just time!"

  Mao Feng said: "Soldiers are important, but grassroots officers are also equally important. The combat effectiveness and stability of the troops depend on the leadership of the officers! You must pay attention to the cultivation of grassroots officers, with a good vision and a broad mind! We should take in many useful people! There is no useless person in the world, only incompetent people! My intention is clear, do you understand? I promoted you as the regimental commander for a simple reason, that is, we are comrades-in-arms! We are our own people, if not using our own people, who else should we use? However, this also requires you to strive hard. If opportunities are given to you and you fail to grasp them, then it can only be blamed on yourself! It cannot be blamed on others! Continue to appease the Hakka people, but do not overdo it. What needs to be done is still necessary. If the Hakka people really go too far, then give me a good scolding!"

  "Yes, I understand, Your Excellency can rest assured! If it's not done well, don't mention resigning in protest, even if it means losing my head, I won't say another word!"

  Huang Mingyang heard Maofeng hang up the phone, Huang Mingyang slowly hung up the phone, he sighed, the pressure came again, Maofeng's words were very clear, if he didn't do well, then he would be fired! Huang Mingyang lit a cigarette, sat down and thought while smoking.
