After November, the climate in North China becomes very cold. In addition to being cooler in the morning and evening in Nanjing, the temperature during the day, especially at noon, is very pleasant.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, in the office of the chairman of the Nanjing Government's Military Commission, Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang changed into military uniforms, while Jiang Shuren also wore suits and leather shoes. The three of them sat on a hardwood sofa with Ouyang Yun on the left, and on the upper left side of the sofa.
, on a desk full of documents, old Jiang in military uniform was sitting upright, looking at the three of them carefully. On the wall behind Jiang, there was a full-length portrait of Mr. Zhongshan.
Chen Brai stood on the right side of the desk with his hands down, staring at Ouyang Yun. He had a very strange feeling in his heart. After that trip to Renqiu, he and the Xuexi Division were still there because of the Xuexi Division's inspection tour to the United States.
After a social interaction, and since the failure of the man-stealing plan, the general in charge of the affairs of the Attendant's Office regarding the Military Academy and the Renqiu area has been in charge of him. Therefore, he is quite familiar with everything related to the Academy.
Compared with a few months ago, Ouyang Yun, a young man, has lost some weight, but his energy is quite good. Another very important point is that the edges and corners of his body have been worn away a lot, and he seems to have become much more approachable, even though
Even though he was wearing a military uniform, he did not feel any pressure. He looked at the chairman of the committee with respectful and casual eyes. He played his current responsibilities just right. As he observed silently, Chen Brai thought to himself: "Compared to before, this young man is
He seems to have grown a lot."
The military training division belongs to the local government, but its nature is very special. It is different from the warlords who separatize local areas and the areas directly under the rule of the Kuomintang. The local warlords have always defied the central government, and their relationship with Nanjing is only superficial.
The subordinate relationship is just to increase personal strength through the banner of the Kuomintang. Many of the careerists are thinking about how to overthrow the rule of the Chairman; as for the Xuebing Division, it seems that there is no actual dispute with the Central Committee, but
Many policies of the central government have never been implemented in the Renqiu area. Not only that, many of their practices are even contrary to many laws and regulations of the National Government, and bear many traces of the GCD. The three words GCD jump into the
In his mind, Chen Brai's brows couldn't help but twitch. He looked at the Chairman with a trace of worry in his eyes.
The development and growth of the training division is so fast that it cannot be described as miraculous. A training class of more than 200 soldiers has grown to a division of more than 10,000 people in just a few months. Now, it is even more...
There are two divisions under their jurisdiction, and they actually occupied most of Chahar. That's all. What's more terrifying is their technological and economic strength. Penicillin and off-road vehicles have just appeared. I heard that many villages in Renqiu are now
Large speakers have been installed, radio stations have been installed, and farmers have used machinery to cultivate their land...
Just when Chen Brei was thinking wildly, the chairman finally spoke. He said kindly in Zhejiang dialect with very local characteristics: "Mr. Ouyang, I heard from Brei that you arrived yesterday. Why didn't you stay in the guest house? You are from the north.
People, are you still used to Nanjing’s food?”
Ouyang Yun immediately stood up and said respectfully with a smile: "Report to the Chairman, we were afraid of delays on the road, so we advanced our scheduled itinerary by one day. Everything went well on the road, so we arrived early. It was evening when we arrived, and we were afraid of leaving Director Chen.
If you don’t cause any trouble, we will find a place to live by ourselves.”
"Sit down, sit down, let's just talk casually, no need for so much etiquette." Lao Jiang said, with a comfortable smile in his eyes. No matter whether the young man in front of him was pretending or sincere, his gesture was indeed true. Make it very useful,
"Yes." Ouyang Yun sat down again and said with a smile: "Although Nanjing and Renqiu belong to the north and the south, they are both places in China after all. As a Chinese, there is no problem with food."
"Well said, whether it is Nanjing or Renqiu, they are all from China after all." Lao Jiang smiled and nodded, feeling in his heart that this young man was indeed not simple. Every word was Xuanji, and he changed the topic and brought the topic to the topic. Above: "I heard that you had a big battle with the Japanese a month ago and beat the Japanese hard. Commander Ouyang, on behalf of the government and the people, I would like to thank you."
"Thanks."
"However, the current strength of our country is not enough to start a full-scale war with Japan. Therefore, I hope that your ministry will still be patient. The so-called small intolerance will mess up the big plan. In fact, the mere little Japan is not scary. What is scary is that there are still people in the country. There are many careerists with ulterior motives. Although they still obey the National Government in name, they secretly want to split the country all the time. We have to be on guard against this. Historical lessons tell us that the central governments that have been overthrown in the past dynasties have In fact, they were all destroyed from within by our own people. Does Mr. Ouyang agree with this?"
"Chairman Gao Jian and his subordinates also think so. If Feng and Liu from the 29th Army hadn't caused trouble this time, the old Japanese in Doihara would not have dared to attack Renqiu. Fortunately, we in China do not lack loyalty and bravery. With the help of the two division commanders Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu, our military training division paid a huge price and finally lived up to the training of the Chairman and won this key battle concerning the situation in North China."
The reason why Lao Jiang said the above words was to pave the way for the topic of today's contact, but he did not expect that Ouyang Yun would use the topic to bring up the matter that he had originally decided to hold him accountable for, and also mentioned himself All the responsibilities on his body were pushed away, "This young man is not simple." He couldn't help but become alert in his heart. He didn't know how to criticize him for secretly carving up Feng and Liu's territory, so he quickly made a new decision. He said with a straight face: "Hearing what you said, I would like to ask, what exactly did Master Feng and Master Liu do? You forced them to go into exile and merged the 37th Division and the 143rd Division with Song Zheyuan. , even if they did something wrong, can't you report it to Nanjing? Or you don't trust the Nanjing government and think we will protect them." After saying that, he looked at Ouyang Yun with bright eyes,
Ouyang Yun was startled at first, thinking that this was the beginning. With a calm expression on his face, he said to Chen Shichang: "Shichang, please give that report to Director Chen. Now it seems that the report we submitted before must have failed." It has been passed to the Chairman."
"What report?" Lao Jiang said doubtfully, taking a quick look at the report handed over by Chen Shichang from Chen Brai's hand. Then, his face instantly became a little gloomy, and then disappeared immediately.
Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren saw the change in his expression. They looked at each other quickly, with a knowing smile on their lips.
This is a copy of the report, and the original was sent to Nanjing long after the Battle of Wen'an. The main part of the report is a description and summary of the battle, and the attachment is divided into two parts. One part is a commendation for those who have made meritorious service in this battle. application, and there is also a copy of the testimony of many witnesses to prove that Feng and Liu colluded with the Japanese because they spied on the 29th Army and Renqiu territory. When Jiang Shuren first proposed to give Nanjing such a report, Li Tieshu Everyone thought it was not necessary. Fortunately, Ouyang Yun listened to this suggestion. Now it seems that their move at that time was very necessary.
After paying attention to the date of the report, Lao Jiang asked Chen Brai sternly: "What's going on? This report should have been submitted a long time ago. Why didn't I see it?"
It was rare for Chiang Kai-shek to get angry, so once he got angry, his power was still very scary. Chen Brai's forehead quickly became sweaty. He said: "Chairman, please calm down. I will ask someone to investigate if this report really exists." , we can definitely find it out.”
"Don't go looking for it. Isn't there a copy here? Let them pay more attention to it in the future. Official documents from the north, especially the military training division, must be sent to me as soon as possible."
What Chen Bulli meant was that he obviously doubted the authenticity of what Ouyang Yun said just now. Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was a sensible person and knew that such a document must have existed. Otherwise, the other party would not have been so confident and ignored Chen Bulli. The look on his face His anger subsided instantly, and he looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "I have heard a little bit about that incident. No matter what Feng and Liu had with the Xuebingshi, what they did was definitely wrong. But Ouyang, you directly forced them I have gone into exile. I know the cause of the matter. It is probably because of the land reform you implemented. Ouyang, national laws protect private property. In this regard, you are the one who made the mistake. Well, in this matter The commotion was too big and the impact was quite bad. A few days ago, many members of the Central Committee collectively submitted a letter asking me to make the decision for them. How about I come to smooth things over? You can still hand over the 37th Division and the 143rd Division to them, but your The losses must be fully compensated by them, what do you think?"
Ouyang Yun was shocked again when he heard this, and he got to know Chiang Kai-shek a little deeper. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the other party was able to sneak up from a Youth Gang gangster to this position. He really had extraordinary political acumen and skills. He was obviously a They were planning for Feng and Liu, but they were actually adding chips to the subsequent negotiations. Haha, it seemed that his attitude just now made him think that he was easy to bully.
Before coming to Nanjing, the two sides had already exchanged their respective needs through Zhang Zhen. The reason why they had to meet in person was just to clarify some details. Before coming, Ouyang Yun and Li Tieshu discussed the strategy of this negotiation and decided to be polite before fighting. Be soft then hard, this is why he was so respectful just now. Feeling that Jiang Shuren and Chen Shichang were looking at him, Ouyang Yun glanced back and felt that there was a look of perseverance in their eyes. He nodded slightly, and then looked Chiang Kai-shek said: "Generalissimo, as the old saying goes, military orders abroad will not be tolerated. According to the Central Committee members, the reason why I had to deal with Feng and Liu two people at that time was because I had no choice. The situation at that time was not Your death is a situation in which I die. In this case, even if I personally feel compassion, the more than ten thousand brothers under my command will not agree to it." In a somewhat sad tone, he continued. : "Chairman, the casualties of our cadet division in this battle were huge. Seeing my close comrade-in-arms fall in a pool of blood, the scene at that time..." He shook his head and did not continue.
He spoke passionately, and Lao Jiang had to sigh softly to show his understanding, but the real emotion in his heart was a bit angry. Without him, the lion would not be able to open his mouth.
