Qin Dechun was sitting in the courtyard of the division headquarters located in the southeast corner of Renqiu City, drinking the "Longjing before the rain" served by Chen Shichang, thinking about the first time he met Ouyang Yun, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The appearance of Ouyang Yun, a young man, was sudden. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it was like walking on a road for who knows how many years. Suddenly a tiger jumped out of the grass one day. However, I thought it was just a tiger. It's just a kitten. It can be said that most of the responsibility for the evolution of the 29th Army to this point lies with Song Zheyuan. He trusted the generals under his command too much. As a result, he decentralized power. Now some people have a taste of power. It feels so good, but I never let go,
The waiting time of more than three hours was really unbearable. Fortunately, Qin Dechun is a cultivated person, or he clearly understands the current situation. The military training division is no longer the military training group that ranked second in Wanping Military Camp, and Ouyang Yun is no longer the military training group. Then there is the young man with a witty face. In this troubled world, the barrel of a gun is dignity and authority. Without the barrel of a gun, no matter how high your official position is, even if you say it badly, it means nothing.
Ouyang Yun walked in from the outside in a dusty manner. When he saw him, Qin Dechun didn't recognize him for a moment. The pretty boy turned into a dark-faced man with a messy beard and sunken eye sockets. It could be seen that his master was not having an easy time during this period. Also, it would not be easy for anyone to use one division to deal with one division of Japs.
"Deputy Commander Qin, what brought you here? You are a rare visitor." Ouyang Yun's tone of voice was different from before, and his tone was out of contrast with his age. However, no one thought this was inappropriate. Perhaps, this He is worthy of his current status. Of course, if Qin Dechun comes to see him often in private, he will find that there is another side of Ouyang Yun. At that time, Ouyang Yun was rogue, lazy, greedy, and even a little lustful.
"Mr. Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more mature." Qin Dechun stood up, took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand. He was sure that the person in front of him was one of the most popular figures in North China. His eyes couldn't help but condense. ,
"I'm very sorry. It's really a sin to keep you waiting for so long. Shichang, it's getting late. Let's prepare dinner. I'm going to have two drinks with Deputy Qin at the table tonight and leave them at the Songyun restaurant." Ouyang The cloud shouted loudly,
Chen Shichang saluted Qin Dechun and walked away quickly.
"No trouble, I have to rush back to Peking."
"It's okay. Just listen to me when you get here." Ouyang Yun asked the others to go down, and then took Qin Dechun to his office.
Without the rest of the crowd, polite words were unnecessary. After Ouyang Yun asked him to sit down, he helped him make tea again and asked straight to the point: "Vice Commander Qin, you must have something to do when you come to me at this time." .”
Qin Dechun looked at this young man who was about the same age as his nephew and was infected by his capable and confident temperament. He secretly praised in his heart: No wonder he has made it this far. He has the aura of the Tiger King. He coughed twice and said, "Ouyang, I'll just call you Ouyang."
"That's right, that's right. I'm even happier if you call me that."
Qin Dechun smiled. Although the young man in front of him had made a lot of achievements, he was still very humble, which was rare. He said: "I heard that you suffered quite a lot of casualties this time. We couldn't help you. Let's leave it alone." If you are dueling with the Japanese, you won’t blame us."
Ouyang Yun was stunned for a moment and adjusted his thoughts. He put the tea cup on the table in front of him and said seriously: "Deputy Commander Qin, you are too polite. Your department helped us this time." It's a big help. If Commander Zhang, Commander Feng and Commander Zhao hadn't all sent troops, I think our army would have been defeated miserably and Ren Qiu would have been lost as well. Thank you."
A blush appeared on Qin Dechun's face. Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu sent troops to help the military division, but Feng Zhi'an and even a blind man knew what he was planning. What was terrible was that he happened to be in the same room as Feng Zhi'an at that time. In the city, he woke up and said: "Ouyang, this is actually why I came here this time. You don't know. Now the 29th Army has started internal strife and is about to fall apart."
Ouyang Yun naturally knew all this, but he pretended not to know, or rather he didn't care, and said calmly: "No way, how could Commander Song allow them to do this?"
"Commander Song." Qin Dechun smiled bitterly. He could not criticize Song Zheyuan in front of an "outsider" due to human feelings, but the fact that the 29th Army has reached this stage today was actually caused by him.
In fact, not only Song Zheyuan, but also Qin Dechun, Zhang Weifan, Tong Linge and others did not expect that the 29th Army would reach this stage. What exactly is the problem? When did this phenomenon appear? No one knows, or maybe it was just because of Ouyang Clouds appear out of thin air,
"Has Commander Song returned from Shandong?"
"I have asked someone to find him. If he doesn't come back, things will really change in North China."
"Is it so serious?" Ouyang Yun frowned. He knew history. There were no such incidents in history.
"Ouyang, help our 29th Army."
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Our military training division is from the 29th Army. Naturally, we cannot sit idly by when something happens to our old employer. However, my qualifications are too junior. The military training division has not long been established. What can we do?"
Qin Dechun looked at him with cautious eyes, and asked after a while: "Do you know Xiao Zhenying?"
"Um."
"He is from Chiang Kai-shek."
"oh."
"With his help, Feng Zhian wrote to Nanjing, requesting to be included in the Central Army's establishment."
Ouyang Yun was stunned. He didn't know about this situation, and he didn't expect it. Fox Tong didn't detect it, so this should have happened on a very small scale. He asked: "The Ho-Mei Agreement is not a stipulation that Hebei cannot stay in Are there any members of the Central Army? If Feng Public Security Bureau is really merged into the Central Army, it will not mean withdrawing from Hebei."
"That's all. But the problem is that the Japanese seem to have reached some kind of tacit agreement with Nanjing this time. Ouyang, I won't hide it from you now. The bargaining chip they exchanged is you, Ren Qiu."
Ouyang Yun stood up in shock and said, "No way, could it be that Nanjing and Japan have reached another agreement?"
"Probably not yet, but I think if we don't take action, another "Ho-Mei Agreement" will appear next."
"Are we suitable?" Ouyang Yun looked at Qin Dechun,
Qin Dechun looked back at him deeply. That gaze made Ouyang Yun's heart tremble. He recalled the affectionate eyes of a gay man in a dark bar. Fortunately, Qin Dechun was not a gay man. He soon He said something that made Ouyang Yun's heart palpitate,
In the office of the division commander of the Xuebing Division, no one knew what Qin Dechun and Ouyang Yun had talked about that day, and the two parties involved were very secretive afterwards, and no one disclosed the slightest bit of information. However, when Qin Dechun returned to Peiping, Peiping The series of changes that occurred in the military government gave curious people reason to believe that the two men had reached some kind of agreement.
Ouyang Yun should feel fortunate that he sent Zhang Zhen as envoy to Nanjing in time. No matter how Zhang Zhen did it, he fulfilled his mission and brought Chiang Kai-shek's olive leaves and instructions from Shangfeng.
Late one night, Feng Zhian, Liu Ruming, and several of their buddies disappeared at almost the same time. Then, Song Zheyuan vigorously promulgated new personnel appointments, and Ji Xingwen returned to the 37th Division as the division commander and governor of Chahar Province. Government Chairman and Security Commander Xiao Zhenying served as the commander of the 143rd Division. Most of the 143rd Division was transferred to Anhui to be reorganized in Nanjing; the 37th Division was moved to Zhangjiakou in Chahar; The teaching brigade was expanded to the 143rd Division, responsible for the defense of Peiping. After absorbing a brigade from the 37th Division, a brigade from the 38th Division, and a brigade from the 143rd Division, it became a super-staffed division with four brigades.
Zhao Dengyu and his 132nd Division did not participate in this adjustment. Of course, the benefits are indispensable to him. The First Ordnance Factory originally belonging to the 29th Army will be moved to Langfang and become the directly affiliated arsenal of the 132nd Division.
This was a bloody military and political deal. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the Xuebing division headed by Ouyang Yun and the Renqiu government benefited a lot. Not only did they gain the land of Chahar, but they also gained access to Peking portals like Wanping. It was taken down, but Zhang Zizhong seemed to get nothing. Of course, if anyone has time to stay and observe in Daliuhe Town at the junction of Tianjin and Wen'an, they will find a strange scene. For almost two consecutive months, from Wen'an The direction is continuously transporting supplies to the defense areas of the 38th Division in the suburbs of Tianjin. This is the compensation for the 38th Division from the Xuebing Division.
The person commanding this operation of the 29th Army was Qin Dechun. Among them, Zhang Weifan and Tong Linge participated. Their actions were very covert. Just when Dofeihara noticed a little bit of news, the overall situation was decided.
The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to bring Wanping over was for no other reason than the Marco Polo Bridge, where the July 7th Incident took place, was in the west of Wanping City. He had a villain's heart and judged a gentleman's heart, and he really didn't feel comfortable leaving such an important town to anyone else. in hand,
When Zhao Dengyu learned that Feng Zhian was missing and the 37th Division had changed hands, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. Then he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He thought that Feng Zhian must have been killed by the two bastards Ouyang Yun and Qin Dechun. It's so bad. Thinking of the friendship between the two, at first I almost thought of going to war to avenge it.
Ouyang Yun knew the relationship between Zhao Dengyu and Feng Zhian. As early as the Dacheng agreement with Qin Dechun, he hoped that Qin Dechun could give Zhao Dengyu a reasonable explanation. So the day after Feng Zhian disappeared, Qin Dechun came to Langfang to visit him. After seeing Zhao Dengyu, he ignored the other person's eyes that were almost holding a knife, stuffed a document bag into his hand, and said: "Take a look, if you still want to kill me after reading this, I won't resist." After saying this, he walked out of the house, sat down on the steps, looked up and watched the sun pass by.
That document bag contained an agreement reached by Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming and Doihara. The witnesses were Tan Takahashi and Pan Qimin. In the agreement, the two parties reached a consensus on three issues. The first was the position of commander of the 29th Army. Feng Zhi'an will be in charge, then there is the issue of Renqiu's ownership, the Japanese will build a special economic zone there, and finally the future positions of both parties: Doihara guarantees that the Japanese will not send troops to the area controlled by the 29th Army, and the 29th Army will not stop it. The Japanese army sent troops to other places from the areas it controlled,
After reading the agreement, Zhao Dengyu felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. The anger that once filled almost every pore in his body turned into cold sweat. The next moment, when he saw Qin Dechun again, he cried like a child: "Why, why do they do this?"
Qin Dechun couldn't answer this question. He could only say: "They chose the road themselves, and they should taste the consequences themselves. Deng Yu, Jun Zuo and I are both old. The future of the 29th Army depends on you. You You must take care of it,,,by the way, no one else knows about this document except me, Jun Zuo and Ouyang Yun."
After shedding tears for a while, Zhao Dengyu gradually calmed down. Then he thought of another question, why the military chose to cooperate with Ouyang Yun instead of directly giving orders to himself. He asked: "Do you think I still have concerns about right and wrong?" Personal feelings? If this is the case, when Commander Feng sends troops to attack the county, I will just sit back and watch the excitement."
This is another question that Qin Dechun can't answer, because he can't say, we no longer believe you at that time,
Zhao Dengyu also vaguely guessed the answer. He said: "That's all, but how can we let Ji Xingwen return to the 37th Division as the division commander? In this way, the 37th Division will be indirectly given to Ouyang Yun."
"Because Ouyang Yun promised to give us this amount of military expenses every year." Qin Dechun spread his right hand.
"Five million."
"No, it's five million."
"Five million, my God, the military expenditure allocated to us by the Young Marshal was only half a million." Zhao Dengyu opened his mouth wide. He almost doubted whether Ouyang Yun's words were just idle talk.
"There are only two million in cash, and the other three million are all used as armaments. I am in charge of the munitions department. Chahar's annual income is only half of this amount. If this is the case, then we have the right to sell the 37th Division. It’s fallen.”
"Our 29th Army is a veteran force." Zhao Dengyu shook his head and sighed. Although he knew that from a business perspective, he was actually making money, but this is an army after all, and it has a territory as big as Chahar.
