When he got up the next morning, Wu Zheng sent a report on yesterday's reception.
Sitting at his desk, flipping through Wu Zheng's report, Liu Yimin felt strange that it was difficult for Chengdu to see such good sunshine. I don't know why, starting from the Red Army's occupation of Chengdu on the 5th, it was sunny for several days in a row.
Brilliant, the sun shone into the house early this morning, driving away a lot of the winter chill. It seems that God is revealing that the people of Sichuan, who have suffered from warlord wars, should stand up.
Judging from Wu Zheng's report, these Sichuan warlords' exorbitant methods of extortion are outrageous. Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, and those small warlords are all masters of making money.
After 40 or 50 years of taxation, one guy actually extended the land tax to 2070.
After putting down the report, Liu Yimin stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about something on his mind.
Before time travel, since Liu Yimin studied military history intensively, he naturally also had a lot of knowledge about the history of Chiang Kai-shek's national army and local warlords. Thinking of the history of the Sichuan Army's generous sacrifice during the Anti-Japanese War, fighting bloody battles, he felt that it would be a psychological burden to eliminate such an army.
Very heavy. Therefore, since entering Sichuan, they have mainly attacked prisoners by surprise and basically did not kill the Sichuan army. After occupying Chengdu, considering the possibility of negotiating with the Sichuan army, no measures were taken against the residences, families and properties of the generals of the Sichuan army in Chengdu.
measure.
It turned out that Liu Xiang in history did not smoke cigarettes, gamble, whore, or play with women. He was also the leader of the Sichuan Army to fight against Japan. He was a respectable figure who contributed to Sichuan and the Anti-Japanese War. Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou
, Tian Songyao all contributed to the uprising in the end. I feel that except for Yang Sen, several other Sichuan warlord giants have merit. After all, people are complex and must survive and protect their own interests. Although Confucius has long said
, It is shameful to be rich in troubled times, and incompetent to govern the world. But think about how dark the society was during the Republic of China. In order to survive and develop, and maintain military expenditures, these warlords naturally had to plunder, and they had no choice but to fight against foreign aggression as long as they could jointly resist foreign aggression.
That’s right. Besides, the national destiny is not entirely the responsibility of these warlords. Without Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, there would inevitably be Zhang Xiang and Yang Wenhui.
Now it seems that things are very complicated. At least before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the various warlords in Sichuan did not have any good things. They were all thieves and troubles for the people. No wonder that during the Second World War, one of Liu Xiang's division commanders, Wang Zuanxu, once welcomed Liu Xiang.
A gentleman in the army said: "Liu Wenhui is not a good guy. Do you think Liu Xiang is a good guy? They are all idiots and not a good guy!"
Wang Zanxu and Liu Xiang were classmates at the "Bianmu Hall" in Sichuan. They knew Liu Xiang very well, and what he said was naturally based on his perception. Of course, Wang Zanxu was not a good person, and Liu Xiang died in time.
, and gained the title of anti-Japanese hero. After the uprising, Wang Zuanxu wanted to defect to Shenzhen in the late 1950s, but was caught and died in prison.
Let’s talk about Liu Wenhui. Although his rise was short, his methods were quite fierce. He focused on expanding the army with one hand, and making money with the other, selling opium, lending usury, and doing everything. He constantly participated in the Sichuan warlord melee, became powerful in the melee, and reaped the benefits.
After being defeated by his nephew Liu Xiang, he settled in a corner. When he was in charge of Xikang, he made a lot of contributions to Xikang's education. Historically, Liu Wenhui also served as the forestry minister of New China after liberation. It's too complicated! Especially Liu Wenhui
Liu Wencai, brother of Liu Wenhui, was once portrayed as a representative image of the landlord class. Although it was a product of special needs in a special era and there were inevitably a lot of falsehoods, as long as one saw that Liu Wencai was both Liu Wenhui's anti-smoking supervisor and Liu Wenhui's opium dealer.
If you are a supervisor, you will know where the money of the Liu family comes from.
It seems that people's destiny does change with the development of the times. Before the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, Liu Xiang was just a warlord, and the Sichuan Army was just a warlord army, without any glory at all. Only when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, Liu Xiang
Only the Sichuan Army will shine. According to the current situation, the property of the Red Army when encountering these warlords should naturally be confiscated and distributed. There is nothing to discuss. But it can’t be because I have traveled through time and am familiar with some historical developments.
, but became timid.
After thinking clearly, Liu Yimin no longer hesitated and told Wu Zheng to follow yesterday morning's deployment to check the deposits of various warlords in various banks and confiscate them. In particular, the property of Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others must be strictly monitored.
Wait until the headquarters arrives, and then ask for instructions. At the same time, the logistics department and the baggage group must consider the division of labor, form a small work team, and collect materials on a large scale in Chengdu.
Seeing that Wu Zheng was about to leave, Liu Yimin thought for a while and told him that Liu Wenhui had a brother named Liu Wencai, who was Liu Wenhui's money bag. He opened a bank and a pawn shop, and the capital was Liu Wenhui. Brother Liu Wencai's income from selling opium should be paid special attention to.
check.
After Wu Zheng left, Liu Yimin thought about the current situation and the possible tasks that the Seventh Army Corps might undertake.
Now I am afraid that the Central Army has gathered at the Chishui River in Renhuai. If the prediction is good, Liu Xiang's troops may still be blocking the Central Army from entering Sichuan, but it is hard to say whether they can block it. The main force of the Sichuan Army on the South Road has probably gathered towards Luzhou.
The North Road may shrink its troops and stick to the key points. The question now is how to determine the next combat action of the Seventh Red Army. Should it go west with the First and Ninth Army to attack Liu Wenhui's troops, or go east and join forces with the Third and Fifth Army to attack Liu Xiangnan Road
The main force may attack northern Sichuan and join forces with the Fourth Front Army to attack the various Sichuan armies commanded by Tian Songyao, the commander-in-chief of the North Sichuan Road Bandit Suppression.
According to Liu Yimin's idea, the main force of the Central Red Army should be quickly concentrated, join forces with the Fourth Front Army, eliminate the Sichuan Army's North Route Army, achieve convergence with the Fourth Front Army, solve the Zhang Guotao problem, and achieve unified command of the Red Army. Then while negotiating with Liu Xiang, send troops northward,
Eliminate the various warlords in Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia, establish a solid and stable base, develop and expand, and fight against the Japanese army.
Unfortunately, the headquarters has not arrived. Such a grand strategy must be determined through a central meeting. The Seventh Red Army is in urgent need of training troops and digesting the results of the war, so they can only wait temporarily.
The door opened, and Cai Zhong walked in with today's newspapers in Chengdu.
Seeing Cai Zhong smiling, Liu Yimin knew that the contents of yesterday's press conference had been published.
After taking a look at the newspapers, each newspaper basically published the full text of the Red Army's policies, and completely recorded and published the contents of the meeting with large and eye-catching titles, such as "The Red Army must be the vanguard of the national anti-Japanese war", "The Anti-Japanese War must be won", "Fighting the Red Army is
Traitors - So Said General Liu Yimin", "The National Government Should Stop the Civil War and Unite to Resist Japan", "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek must first stabilize his domestic policy before resisting foreign aggression and his domestic policy will inevitably go bankrupt", etc., and distributed some such as "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek admits that the people are not afraid of bandits"
"National Army", "Anti-Japanese Pioneer, Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness - A Short Story of Red Army Military Discipline", "Handsome and well-spoken - Impressions of General Liu Yimin, Commander of the Red Army Garrison", "Liu Yimin, the Red Army Hero with Wisdom and Courage", "Zhang Hanqing should hang himself in shame"
》Exclusive interview with other reporters.
The funniest thing is that a tabloid actually wrote an article "Women's Wonderful Women - Interview with the Red Army Heroines" using Tang Xingying, a female Red Army soldier who was the host of the meeting, and wrote that Tang Xingying was the beauty of the country and the reincarnation of Mulan.
.Then he fabricated a legendary story about Tang Xingying being robbed of her bride by a bully and meeting the Red Army on the road. Finally, the reporter changed his mind and said that such beauties have become Red Army soldiers. Why should we young people hesitate? We should no longer be Red Army soldiers.
If you want to take a wife, you can only marry a timid woman with small feet who is neither talented nor beautiful.
Liu Yimin laughed when he saw it, and asked Cai Zhong if Tang Xingying had seen the newspaper. Cai Zhong also laughed and said directly that he probably didn't.
After finishing laughing, Liu Yimin told Cai Zhong to do a few things quickly. One is to assign cadres to Zeng Zhao to help him accept the assets, equipment and technical personnel of the arsenal; the second is to assign cadres to Chen Tong's field hospital and go to West China University of Medical Sciences.
Work with the hospitals in Chengdu to recruit more doctors, nurses, and produce more medicines and equipment, and strive to set up field hospitals for each division, set up field rescue centers for each regiment, and send medical soldiers to the platoons. The third is to organize forces to conduct in-depth inspections of each unit.
Guide the implementation of complaints and three investigation activities to ensure that the troops can be integrated after training. The fourth is to help Feng Dafei pull up the teaching team as soon as possible and train a group of grassroots backbones in a short period of time. The fifth is to hold a scientific and technological talent symposium to bring together all walks of life in Chengdu
We have invited some of the top talents here and I want to talk to them in person.
After Cai Zhong left, Liu Yimin felt uneasy and went to the arsenal that Zeng Zhao had taken over.
The Sichuan Arsenal was first run by Yang Sen and could produce some Sichuan-made rifles. Later, after Yang Sen's defeat, it fell into the hands of Liu Wenhui. Afraid of causing dissatisfaction among various warlords, Liu Wenhui announced that he would no longer manufacture weapons and changed it to the 24th Army Repair House. In order to solve the problem, Liu Wenhui
Due to the steel problem in the arsenal, a new steel plant was built in Weiyuan. Unfortunately, just after 50 tons of steel were produced, the Second World War broke out and the steel plant was forced to stop production.
When Liu Yimin arrived at the arsenal, Zeng Zhao was sitting on a stone in the factory area cursing his mother.
Seeing the legion commander coming, Zeng Zhao stopped scolding, but his whole body was still trembling. When Liu Yimin asked, he found out that the arsenal in Chengdu had two factories, which were as famous as the Hanyang arsenal. When Yang Sen retreated, he moved the Sichuan arsenal outside the city.
The factory area on the north bank of the Minjiang River was burned down. Only the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau factory area in the city was left, which fell into the hands of Liu Wenhui and began to mint coins. As a result, Liu Xiang defeated Liu Wenhui last year and shipped all the machinery, equipment and materials to Chongqing.
, only an empty field area is left. This area could have produced rifles, machine guns, old mountain cannons, and grenades, but now there is nothing left.
Liu Yimin was also very disappointed. He hurried slowly but still let Liu Xiang get the lead. If he had known this, he might as well have taken Chongqing. Now it is impossible. Liu Xiang was already on guard. He just asked Cai Zhong to send cadres to help.
Zeng Zhao came to accept it. After working for a long time, it was all in vain. Grandma!
Seeing that Zeng Zhao was still angry, Liu Yimin told him not to be disappointed. There will definitely be an arsenal and there will be equipment. Now the focus of the work is turning to finding people, the technicians and workers left behind by the original arsenal, and going door-to-door.
Mobilize one family at a time and try to take them all away.
Zeng Zhao was busy asking about the situation of the people left behind. Liu Yimin walked back in despair, regretting all the way. It seemed that he had to go to Yan Laoxi's arsenal, and he had to do it quickly.
At the Renhuai Xiaohekou ferry, there are people shouting and horses shouting. The main force of the 13th Wan Yaohuang Division of Xue Yue Department of the Central Army has arrived here and is erecting a pontoon bridge.
Wan Yaohuang feels that his good luck has arrived recently! Although he suffered heavy losses in the battle on the main peak of the back mountain of Yangping Town, the Red Bandits also felt uncomfortable. Compared with Xue Yue's direct troops of the Central Army, his 13th Division obviously excelled
.When we arrived in Zunyi, it was our troops who first discovered the traces of the Red Bandits. Xue Yue had already issued an order to commend them. It seems that both the Hubei Army and the Central Army relied on their strength and luck. As long as they fought well,
Don't be afraid that the chairman of the committee won't see you.
According to Wan Yaohuang's idea, it was best to wait until the committee and Liu Xiang had reached an agreement before sending troops into Sichuan. But Xue Yue couldn't wait any longer and strictly ordered the 13th Division to enter Sichuan from Renhuai and control Gulin. Wan Yaohuang had no choice but to
We set off overnight and arrived at the ferry early in the morning.
The ferry at the ferry was used to build a pontoon bridge when the Red Army crossed the river. The Red Army sabotaged it after crossing the river. The engineers of the 13th Division worked hard to build a few rafts, rowed across the Chishui River, and pulled ropes on both sides of the river.
Build a floating bridge.
There was no choice but to wait on the other side of the river. Wan Yaohuang was thankful while waiting. Fortunately, the main force of the Red Bandits had already left. If they were still nearby, the entire division would be exposed at the ferry. Wouldn't that be a target for others?
?
Wan Yaohuang was rejoicing here, but the adjutant over there reported that Sichuan troops were coming from the other side of the Chishui River, and it looked like a brigade.
Wan Yaohuang thought he was in trouble, so he quickly raised his telescope to look. Sure enough, a Sichuan Army unit came from the other side and began to occupy key points near the ferry on the other side.
After a while, about a battalion of Sichuan troops appeared in Wan Yaohuang's telescope, running towards the ferry.
The chief of staff said: "Master, what are these Sichuan troops going to do?"
Wan Yaohuang said: "What else can we do? They must be here to prevent us from crossing the river."
The chief of staff said: "These idiots, why didn't they intercept the Red Bandits when they crossed the river? It was our turn to help them chase the Red Bandits, and they began to intercept them. It seems that the Central Army does not have the face of the Red Bandits.
big!"
Wan Yaohuang was also amused: "Maybe they think we are scarier than the Red Bandits!"
The chief of staff chuckled: "Wang Jialie's effect!"
As soon as the two people stopped laughing, they saw that the Sichuan army battalion disarmed the engineer platoon that was crossing the river, put them on the bamboo raft, and casually cut off the tied ropes.
The Chishui River is not very wide, and the shouts can be heard. Seeing that their engineer brothers were driven back, the Central Army brothers on the other side of the river were unwilling and began to make noise. Machine guns and mortars were also set up.
Wan Yaohuang said to the chief of staff: "Go and take a look and ask them what they are going to do, but you can't fight."
The chief of staff led several people to the river, formed a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Brothers on the other side, we are from the 13th Division of the National Army. We have been ordered to cross the river to pursue the Red Bandits. Please don't get me wrong!"
A Sichuan Army officer on the other side also shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Central Army, our Commander-in-Chief Liu said that the problems in Sichuan should be solved by the Sichuan people themselves, so I won't spare the trouble for the brothers of the Central Army."
The chief of staff shouted again: "We are the national army, and you are also the national army. We must obey the orders of the National Government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Please get out of the way, and we will go over to help you suppress the bandits!"
The Sichuan Army officer became impatient: "If we let you come over, our heads will be moved. You should just go back to where you came from. Don't cause trouble for the brothers!"
The chief of staff wanted to test the opponent's bottom line. With a wave of his hand, a platoon of soldiers got on the bamboo raft, and several bamboo rafts rowed to the other side together.
The Sichuan Army officer was not ambiguous at all and shouted directly: "Don't push me, I recognize you as the Central Army, but the guy in my hand doesn't recognize that your turtle son is the Central Army. I'll count one, two, three, and I'll go back immediately
, otherwise, I will shoot! One, two, three, hit!"
Sure enough, the Sichuan Army opened fire. Fortunately, the Sichuan Army did not want to make matters worse. The bullets fired in the first round all flew into the sky, scaring the soldiers in that platoon and hurriedly rowing the raft back.
After the officer of the Sichuan Army ordered to stop shooting, he shouted again: "Brothers of the Central Army, that's right. Hello, hello, hello, hello to all brothers. You are comfortable on the other side of the river, and we are just fine on this side of the river.
It’s time to relax. Don’t think about crossing the river. If you want to drink, send a bamboo raft over. I have good wine here. I hope you guys drink enough.”
The chief of staff was extremely angry and laughed: "Okay, okay, I insist on it. If you want to drink, you can come over. We will take care of drinking enough here!" After saying that, he walked back to Wan Yaohuang.
Wan Yaohuang sighed: "Leave one company to monitor the movement, and the other troops will retreat and camp. Send a report to Commander Xue. There is a brigade of the Sichuan Army on the other side blocking the way, and our army cannot cross the river."
The chief of staff said: "There is only one brigade on the other side. If Commander Xue can send planes to help, we are still sure of getting there."
Wan Yaohuang looked at the chief of staff. This guy seemed to be sick. If he crossed the river like this and let the Sichuan army attack him halfway across the river, wouldn't that be seeking death? Besides, even if they could cross, how many people in the 13th Division would survive?
At that time, I'm afraid the committee will be as happy as if it wiped out 10,000 red bandits! Fool!
After the chief of staff said that, he knew that he had made a mistake. Before Wan Yaohuang could speak again, he walked quickly and went to send the report.
When receiving the telegram from Wan Yaohuang, Xue Yue had already arrived in Renhuai.
At this time, Xue Yue already knew the news that the Red Army had occupied Chengdu, and also knew that the Red Army had entered Chengdu, and that Liu Bocheng had been appointed mayor of Chengdu, and Liu Yimin had been appointed commander of the Chengdu garrison.
I was sitting in the temporary headquarters sulking, wondering why the Red Bandits always had the upper hand. I was chasing them around, getting farther and farther away from the Red Bandits. Now it was good, the Red Bandits actually occupied Chengdu, which is the provincial capital of Sichuan.
Ah! Although Liu Xiang wants to set the provincial capital in Chongqing now, he will still set it in Chengdu sooner or later. It’s over. I didn’t expect that the red bandits who were injured after the war in Xiangjiang River could come back to life and become stronger, even with high walls and thick fortifications.
He dared to capture Chengdu. Could it be that one day Mao Zedong had a whim and dared not even attack Nanjing? This is simply the opposite!
When Xue Yue was sulking, the chief of staff brought the telegram sent by Wan Yaohuang. When Xue Yue saw it, his anger surged, what on earth does this bastard Liu Xiang want to do? Is it possible that he wants to join the gangsters? People will treat your
Chengdu was occupied, but instead of pursuing and counterattacking, you sent troops to intercept the Central Army that entered Sichuan to suppress the bandits. Isn’t Sichuan still the territory of the Republic of China? Isn’t your Liu Xiang still a general of the national army? You bastard! What a dick!
Xue Yue immediately called the Chief of Staff to record the message: "Brother Fucheng, Commander-in-Chief Liu: I heard recently that the Red Bandits have fallen into Chengdu, and the whole country was shocked. Following the order of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, I led my troops into Sichuan to reinforce your headquarters. Unexpectedly, at the mouth of the Renhuai River
The ferry was intercepted by your troops. I don't understand why brother Fucheng did not lead the army to quickly quell the banditry. Instead, he intercepted friendly reinforcements. What was his intention? From his perspective, today's red bandits are not the red bandits by the Xiang River in the past. Their combat power has increased and they are flexible.
If you are mobile, only your troops may be difficult to annihilate. There are Xu bandits in the north of Kuang to respond to them. If brother hesitates again, I am afraid that northern, western and central Sichuan will all fall into the hands of bandits. When the time comes, how will Brother Fucheng see the people of the country?
How should I meet the Chairman? I hope Brother Fucheng will think deeply! Now our army is gathered at the Chishui River, waiting for Brother Fucheng to make a decision. If Brother Fucheng insists on not allowing our army to enter Sichuan, the Red Bandits will turn into Red Bandits throughout Sichuan.
, it is the time for Brother Fucheng to apologize to the people of the country. If Brother Fucheng is willing for our army to lend a helping hand to your department, please clearly order your department to give way. Please think twice! The former enemy commander of the pursuit and suppression army is Xue Yue, director of the Guizhou Appeasement Office."
After dictating the telegram, Xue Yue still couldn't understand his hatred, and shouted to the chief of staff: "Record, send a report to the commissioner. Our army has arrived at the Chishui River ferry, encountered a brigade of the Sichuan Army, and fired a warning. The commander has sent a report to Liu Xiang,
The statement is powerful, but I am afraid that Liu Xiang will not accept it. I sincerely ask the committee to order Liu Xiang to get out of the way again. If the other party insists on not allowing our army to enter Sichuan, our army will definitely not be able to stand still in the wilderness. Please express the method of handling it. If the committee member
The commander ordered his troops to enter Sichuan with force. We are absolutely sure to quickly defeat the Sichuan army in front of us. Please call me back."
After the chief of staff sent the telegram, seeing that Xue Yue was still angry, he persuaded him: "Commander, we are soldiers. It is better to let the politicians mediate and handle these political matters! We just have to obey the orders. Now although the Red Bandits
They occupied Chengdu, but they did it by sneak attack, and they did not have a head-to-head fight with the Sichuan army. The gang of bad guys who specialize in civil war still don't know how to feel pain, and they don't want to be the second best to Wang Jialie. Wait for the red bandits to plunder their property and eliminate them.
Once we have his main force, he will know how powerful he is and will cry and beg us to go. Don't be anxious, time will solve all problems!"
Xue Yue shook his head: "Chief of Staff, I don't understand what you are saying? However, have you noticed that in the past month, the Red Bandit seems to have been reborn, becoming more and more able to fight, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger?
. They are no longer the lost dogs they were when they fled south of Jiangxi Province. Now they have become man-eating tigers, and no one knows who their next target will be. They dare to fight in Chengdu, but I can’t think of any other place in China.
They didn't dare to fight. It turns out that we judged that even if they sneaked into southern Sichuan, they were just sneaking in remote mountainous areas. Who would have thought that they would dare to swagger along the main road to attack Chengdu? What does this mean? It means that the Red Bandits simply don't exist.
With the Sichuan Army in his eyes, not to mention that Liu Xiang didn't notice it, he probably couldn't stop it even if he knew it in advance. I don't dare to think about it. The more I think about it, the more afraid I am. If the development momentum of the Red Bandits cannot be curbed now, wait until they
We have been replenished in the plains of western Sichuan and have established a firm footing. Chief of Staff, do you think we still dare to pursue them with these men and horses in our hands?"
The chief of staff said nothing, and there was dead silence in the headquarters.
