In the official history of 1935 AD, many major events happened.
Domestically, Chairman Mao’s leadership within the GCD was finally confirmed; Japan signed several overlord treaties with the Nationalist Government in North China: the Treaty of Datan, the Qintu Agreement, and the Ho-Mei Agreement; the 29th Army was stationed in Hebei, The Yicha Autonomous Government was established; construction of the Qiantang River Bridge started; a massive flood occurred in the Yangtze River, killing more than 142,000 people...
Internationally, Italy invaded Ethiopia, and Britain and France adopted appeasement policies for their own interests. Hitler saw the weakness of Britain and France and began to expand their military in a big way...
These have not changed because of the emergence of Ouyang Yun. The difference is that because Renqiu Petroleum entered the historical stage early, the situation in North China became unpredictable after Kai's death, and some once unlettered people in history The fate of little butterflies will also change, such as Chu Tiange, Gu Lianyun, etc.
Ouyang Yun's short coaching career at Yan University was fruitful, making the recruitment work of the student brigade go extremely smoothly. Of course, provoking Fan Wei, his love rival, was purely accidental.
On the evening of the day he arrived in Renqiu, after Ouyang Yun attended the dinner with Kang Dafu and others, he hosted the first military meeting attended by officers above the battalion level in the conference room of the brigade headquarters of Renqiu Military Camp of the Cadet Brigade.
After this period of recruitment and integration, the student brigade has reached nearly 3,000 people. It consists of three infantry regiments and a special battalion. Directly under the brigade headquarters are the Langya Brigade, the Special Service Brigade, and the Fox Eyes Special Operations Group. Communications Company, Medical Company, Guard Company, and Renqiu Special Police Squadron. Among them, the 1st Regiment is concurrently captained by Deputy Brigade Commander Li Tieshu and the deputy commander is Chen Kanglin; the 2nd Regiment is concurrently captained by Chief of Staff Ji Xingwen and the deputy commander is Zhang Qiang; The commander of the third regiment, Ouyang Yun, serves concurrently. The deputy commander of the regiment is Li Zebang, the former commander of the 1st Battalion of the 219th Regiment; the captain of the Langya Battalion is Guo Biao (regular level); the commander of the special battalion is Chu Tiange; and the commander of the guard battalion is Gu Lianyun. ; The leader of the special service team is also concurrently served by Ouyang Yun, and the deputy leaders are Huang Cheng, Lu Jiacheng, and Zhang Xiaoou. Only Zhang Xiaoou attended the meeting; Renqiu Special Police Squadron Leader Chen Shichang (battalion level), Jiang Shuren serves as the general manager of Dadao Finance Company , Gu Xudong, as Ouyang Yun’s newly hired business consultant, and Hou Debang, as the chief engineer of the chemical industry group to be established, were also specially invited to participate.
After all the participants arrived, Chen Shichang, who was also the chief of the archives section of the brigade, announced the start of the meeting, and then asked Ouyang Yun to speak. Ouyang Yun looked at everyone, solemnly performed a military salute, and said: "Everyone, you have worked hard during this time. , Ouyang Yun is here to express his gratitude."
When Ouyang Yun returned to Renqiu, he was happiest than Li Tieshu and Jiang Shuren. The former had been in charge of the management of the student brigade during this period. Although he had Ji Xingwen's help, he was still so busy that his butt was smoking. In his own words: There is almost no time to go to the toilet, and Jiang Shuren is responsible for the early stage financing and construction of some industrial and mining enterprises. He also has to take into account the "business-based agriculture", organize inspection groups, and deal with businessmen all day long. He is being harassed every moment. It is inevitable to be troubled by a lot of trivial matters, and it is inevitable to have a huge headache. What is terrible is that sometimes I have to be blocked by businessmen asking some technical questions.
It's okay that technologies such as military uniforms are relatively common, but those involving special processes such as steel mills are not so vague, such as the design and installation of converters. When he listened to Ouyang Yun's talk, he felt that it was quite It was easy, but when it came to actual implementation, it felt like there was no way to start. For this reason, he even made a special trip to Peking to find Ouyang Yun to get detailed design drawings. Only then did he fulfill his mission and successfully build the converter.
Yicha is rich in iron ore. In order to arouse the desire of businessmen to invest, in Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren's plan, the iron ore screening plant and the steelmaking plant were the first batch of factories and mines to be built. Among them, the iron ore plant It was built in Xuanhua, Chahar, and the steelmaking plant was built nearby in Tangjiazhuang, northwest of Renqiu.
Regarding Ouyang Yun's gesture, Ji Xingwen and others thought he was being modest, but Li Tieshu and Jiang Shuren deserved it. Jiang Shuren said: "Brother Ouyang, I have been really busy during this period, but you can come back." That’s good, just come back.” It means that since you are back, you will be fully responsible for the factory and mine matters from now on.
Li Tieshu smiled reservedly and said: "Brigade, if you say it's not hard work, you'd be lying. However, watching our cadet brigade grow from a small training class to a cadet regiment, and then from regiment to brigade, the cautious appearance of the soldiers almost One sheep a day, to be honest, it's worth the hardship."
Guo Biao looked at Ouyang Yun and said meaningfully: "Everyone, I don't know if you have noticed that there is at least one advantage to staying with us in the hotel."
Everyone looked at him,
"The speed of promotion is definitely top-notch, haha."
Everyone thought about it and laughed,
Ouyang Yun shook his head and said: "Chief of Staff Guo's words are too explicit. Are you all joining the army to become officials? There is an old saying in China that old men should not be soldiers. I think, if we live in a country now In an era when the people are prosperous and prosperous, who wants to be a soldier?"
These words expressed the sentiments of some people, causing many people, especially Chen Shichang and others, to fall into deep thought. Gu Xudong, who had not spoken until now, said: "What Brigadier Ouyang said is absolutely right. If the little devils hadn't invaded, each of us would have died." You can choose to do what you like. I think I used to call myself a foreign country, but now..." He didn't know if he was thinking of his own experience, his face was a little sad, his eyes were red, and he couldn't continue.
Gu Xiangyun's unfortunate death was known to everyone here, and they knew that he must have remembered it. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became desolate. Guo Biao shook his fist fiercely and said: "A good person will be bullied by others, and a weak country will be bullied by others." Intrusion, Mr. Gu, we will definitely avenge your daughter."
Ouyang Yun took over the conversation and said: "So far, I am afraid that tens of thousands of our compatriots have been killed by the Japanese. Their blood will not be shed in vain. One day we will kill the little devils ten times or a hundred times." Come back." He stood up and waved his hand vigorously and said: "Now, let's officially start. First, let's discuss the next move of the cadet brigade..."
The student brigade currently needs to do what it can. After careful consideration, Ouyang Yun boiled it down to two items. The first is troop training. Because it has recruited a lot of new recruits and will continue to recruit people in the future, recruit training is the next stage of military work. The second point is to start a business. This is actually related to Ouyang Yun's appointment as the commander of the military academy brigade. He had communicated with Jiang Shuren before and learned that the "business-based agriculture" policy has received active cooperation from businessmen. Currently, he has already With thousands of acres of land, I thought it was time to start land reform.
After the meeting started, Li Tieshu and other former members of the Corps, including Ouyang Yun, all took out their pens and paper, and prepared excerpts to record the key points as usual. After Ouyang Yun started speaking, the sound of writing could be heard in the conference room, and Ji Xingwen , it was the first time for Guo Biao and others to attend this meeting, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw this scene. After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, Guo Biao said to Ouyang Yun: "Sir, I'm so sorry, I didn't know I had to take notes."
Ouyang Yun hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay. We took notes because we were afraid that we would forget them after the meeting. It's the same for you guys." Then he said to Ji Xingwen: "Chief of Staff Ji, the preparation for the meeting should be left to the brigade headquarters. The staff is in charge, let them prepare some pen and paper later."
Ji Xingwen was also a little embarrassed. As an old regiment leader, he had never needed to take notes in meetings before. He had just come into contact with the position of chief of staff and was not yet proficient in some tasks. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I was negligent." ." Then he got up and went out, asking the staff outside to prepare pen and paper.
At this time, another embarrassing thing happened. Li Zebang turned out to be illiterate. His previous promotion was based on his military merit. Li Zebang was very happy. When the paper and pen were brought to him, he admitted it frankly. With him as an example, none of the active-duty battalion commanders sitting around the conference room felt it was a shame to be illiterate. They all told about their own illiteracy, which made Ouyang Yun regret why he was so illiterate in the first place. What are you doing to set an example?
The appearance of this scene was unexpected by many people. The most embarrassing one was naturally Ji Xingwen, because the illiterate battalion commander and regimental commanders were all from the original 219th Regiment. He blushed and said: "It seems necessary to organize It’s a literacy class, General Feng used to do it when he was in the Northwest Army.”
Ouyang Yun looked at the "illiterates" holding their heads high and their chests high, and couldn't help but think of some people in his own time. When they defended some of their actions, they always said arrogantly: I am a country person, what? Okay, he was feeling a headache when he heard Ji Xingwen's words and he had an idea and said: "It is necessary. The people here are now battalion commanders, regimental commanders, and in the future they will be brigade commanders or even division commanders. It is absolutely impossible not to know a word. Well, the establishment of literacy classes is very necessary. After all, we are a military training brigade. I happen to have an agreement with President Situ of Yanda University. Every school year, we can send some people to their schools for training and achieve good results in literacy classes. Those who are outstanding can be given priority."
After solving the problem of illiteracy, Ouyang Yun organized a discussion about the training of the military brigade. At this time, Guo Biao raised a question and said: "Brigade, I have read the drill manual you wrote. It is very good. It is very good." Comprehensive, but why is there no machete training project? You know, the reputation of our 29th Army is achieved by chopping with machetes."
Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu and others were not from the 29th Army, so they really ignored this problem. He immediately made a review, and then carefully wrote it down in his notebook, promising to add the sword training program to it after the meeting.
When Guo Biao saw that his proposal was approved, the embarrassment of not bringing a pen and paper was gone. Ji Xingwen and others were encouraged and also put forward some of their own opinions...
