Chapter 49: Letters (Second Update)

  Ding Xiaoya will stay at the Ding family for several more days, and a guard squad will also be left behind. With these forces in place, Mao Feng is very reassured, enough to suppress those opposing voices. Ding Xiaoya has already grasped control of the Ding family!

  Mao Feng returned to the government office and called Zhao Pingzhou, ordering him to take good care of Ding family's Fifth Uncle, Ding Qiang. Zhao Pingzhou immediately obeyed this order.

  After the phone call, Mao Fengzhi soon received a telegram from Lin Hu, which had instructions to dispatch a batch of medicines, especially hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Mao Fengzhi immediately knew that Lin Hu was in trouble, obviously encountering heavy casualties, and such casualties must have been caused by the enemy army's counterattack on the Longyan side!

  Mao Feng really wanted to know the situation on the front line, but Lin Hu didn't tell him. So he couldn't ask about it either. This also made Mao Feng suspect that Lin Hu was hiding something from him, afraid that if he knew some unfavorable news, he would have thoughts of betrayal.

  Mao Feng let out a low sigh, this is related to interests, with these enough to shake a person's mind, people are too emotional, which led to these variables.

  Mao Feng thought back to the three times he had heart-to-hearts with Da Shuai, remembering how each time Da Shuai's attitude towards him was more trusting than the last. But what about now?

  If I now have more power than Lin Hu, then it's a case of the servant being stronger than the master! I'm afraid Lin Hu wouldn't want to think about it but he must be thinking that no matter how capable I am, I've only been following General for less than a year!

  Mao Feng used to look down on those foolishly loyal people, like Yue Fei and Ji Ling of the Three Kingdoms period. But now himself? If Lin Hu didn't deal with him, would he deal with Lin Hu? Obviously not possible either. Rather see General Dai being unjust, isn't he also a bit foolishly loyal now?

  At this thought, Mao Feng's face became even more bitter. At this time, Yang Yongtai came in, looking good and with a smile on his face.

  Yang Yongtai came in and said directly: "Commander, there is news from that side!"

  Mao Feng was very interested and asked: "Tell me specifically."

  Yang Yongtai said: "Previously, I had been in contact with Zhang Jingjiang, who was ill at home and sent someone to give me a letter. Apart from a few polite phrases, the rest of the letter hoped that I would inform Commander-in-Chief to send a telegram to start an uprising and join Mr. Sun's side! He can satisfy three conditions for you!"

  When Mao Feng heard the name Zhang Jingjiang, he naturally changed his expression. He knew this person was a remarkable individual and also one of Sun's most loyal followers, who had a very good private relationship with his own brother-in-law and was even sworn brothers! In the Nationalist Party, he had great prestige, and Mr. Sun placed great importance on him, indeed!

  However, Mao Fengzi shook his head and said: "No! It's not that I don't believe this person, but I cannot betray the general like this!"

  Yang Yongtai said without surprise, "I naturally know this. What makes me happy is that I finally know how Commander You are evaluated on the other side and how important it is. Now it seems to be very important! In this way, we have passed on this message, so the other side must have some movement in their heart and will necessarily effectively reduce the pressure on Commander."

  Mao Feng calmly said: "These are nothing! I just want to know how long Chen Jiongming can resist, General's side will not be able to resist for a long time, it is necessary to withdraw back to Guangdong! And at that time, the troops of Fujian will necessarily follow and enter Guangdong, the war fire will be staged on the land of eastern Guangdong!"

  Yang Yongtai said in a low voice: "I think Commander you'd better prepare for both hands! The rear route must be arranged properly!"

  Mao Feng's smile said: "The rear, what I am doing now is not arranging the rear? Swatow and Meizhou are all for my rear. Although the troops do not have the strength to face each other, they are not easy to swallow. If you don't want to hurt your vitality, you must negotiate with me! As long as I get the support of the people in Chaozhou, Meizhou and Swatow, I am not afraid of Mr. Sun's attitude towards me! Guangdong East has always been a stronghold that supports Mr. Sun, he will not take it lightly!"

  Yang Yongtai said in a low voice, "The commander has such an idea, I'm not surprised. From the previous conversations with the commander, I roughly knew it. The commander's determination is below, and I won't persuade him anymore. So how should this be replied to?"

  Mao Feng's smile looked at Yang Yongtai and said, "Mr. Yang is really humble, didn't you think of it long ago? Then there's no need for me to make decisions, just do what you want!"

  Yang Yongtai was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing loudly. Soon he stopped his laughter and said: "Alright, in that case, Yang will immediately write back to him!"

  After getting up, Yang Yongtai bid farewell to Mao Feng with a bow and left in a hurry, looking very efficient and decisive. Not only Mao Feng, but also Yang Yongtai was the same.

  Mao Feng's smile didn't last long, he looked a bit solemn, he thought of Zhang Jingjiang, he thought of the introduction and evaluation of Zhang Jingjiang in later generations' books, Mao Feng couldn't help but admire this person, who was even better than Yang Yongtai, Yang Yongtai was outstanding in strategy, but in terms of vision, grasp of people's hearts, and interpersonal relationships, he was far inferior to Zhang Jingjiang, as can be seen from Zhang Jingjiang's close relationship with Sun and Chiang, being able to invest in the old Chiang when he was rising to prominence, this is a testament to his foresight! Being called one of the four great elders of the party is not an empty reputation!

  However, Mao Feng thought of another person, that is Xu Chongzhi. This man is also Zhang Jingjiang's sworn brother! Although Zhang Jingjiang was recuperating from illness, it was impossible for him not to know that his brother was fighting against Lin Hu at this moment! He could be so enthusiastic probably because of this reason too!

  Xu Chongzhi, Mao Fengzhi knew that this person's character was overly calculating and too self-interested. Otherwise, how could he have retreated so quickly and handed over the good opportunity to Old Chiang? Mao Fengzhi really looked down on this person.

  Mao Feng muttered to himself: "This person wouldn't dare provoke me, if he dares to provoke me, I'll show him my power! As for our relationship, I'm also Old Chiang's elder uncle, even though we're from different branches of the family!"

  Liu Chun rarely came to Mao Fengzhi's office, usually he liked to stay in the military camp, he was a very pure soldier. When Mao Fengzhi saw Liu Chun coming in, he smiled and said: "How did you think of coming here? Sit down!"

  "Commander!" Liu Chun said with great spirit, and his hand quickly saluted Mao Feng. After the salute, he sat down and said to Mao Feng: "Commander, today I found some bad signs in the military camp. It seems that they are talking about some rumors, something about communism! Some of my fellow soldiers seem very interested."

  "What?!". Mao Fengzhi immediately jumped up in shock and exclaimed loudly. Mao Fengzhi did not expect that such a thing would happen, but thinking about it, it was completely possible, as this was the best time for co-development.

  Mao Feng thought that in terms of ideology and winning people's hearts, he was a man with great abilities! Mao Feng said: "You immediately dispatch someone, remember to secretly bring the person who spread these rumors to me, then I'll interrogate them thoroughly, figure out their identities, and find out who is behind them! You discuss this with Fang Tianxia, he's an expert in this area, you two cooperate well, don't make any mistakes!"

  "Yes, Commander! I'll go take care of it right away!" Liu Chun immediately stood up to carry out this new task.

  Mao Fengzhi watched Liu Chun leave, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect this to really happen, I really didn't think about it before! What a mistake! Now my own troops are in a blank period! There is no party A or party B! This is really at a disadvantage, and we really need to choose one!"

  Mao Zedong didn't have much deep thought, he made up his mind and chose the Nationalist Party D! The reason is simple, now the Nationalist Party D is mature and most in line with their own interests. Another one is newly established and not mature at all, many are just empty talk, which will inevitably lead to national disaster! Moreover, this year's Soviet-led Communist International will pass a resolution, that is, to strongly support China's affairs, which means the Soviet Union wants to foster a group of forces that are beneficial to the Soviet Union. After all, it still wants to make China a puppet or follower of the Soviet Union!
