Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 638 The Northwest Army Deserters
Zhang Kui'an lives in Liansheng Inn, a three hundred-year-old inn. It was the first inn opened by the Ming Dynasty for scholars who were taking the exam for Xi'an, the Xijing Daofu. There were few scholars in the northwest, and since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the wars in the northwest continued, and Islam continued to fight for the throne. This battle continued until the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the Qing army could not bear it and sent large troops to wipe out it. Then Emperor Kangxi carried out large-scale Han immigration in the northwest, and Han immigration intensified regional ethnic conflicts. How could the scholars of the northwest scholars have the intention to do this.
The efforts in academic work have led to the fact that the number of students in Northwest is far inferior to that in the Jiangnan region. In order to support students in Northwest, the courts of all dynasties will focus on supporting students in Northwest (refer to the current college entrance examination score line...). This is the case with Liansheng Inn. Northwest students lived here when they took the imperial examination, providing food, clothing, housing and transportation. After Cixi banned the imperial examination in the late Qing Dynasty, Liansheng Inn lost its role. After the court's support was lost, it was purchased and then became a private property and became the most famous old-fashioned inn in Xi'an.
Senior officers of the Northwest Army were all Fengtian officers who ran over from the Northeast, so they treated Zhang Kui'an with big bowls of wine and meat. Zhang Kui'an was unable to drink and refused to say that he was not good enough, so he came back to rest, leaving the Northwest Army officers to eat and drink. As soon as he arrived at Liansheng Inn, Zhang Kui'an was half lying on the table and sobering up. After a while, Secretary Yun Lishan threw a towel and walked in, handed over and said, "Minister, apply a towel."
Zhang Kui'an took the towel and smiled and said, "Thank you."
Yun Lishan is from Shaanxi and graduated from Hubei Military Preparation School in his early years. After graduation, he stayed in the Hubei Army. Later, Shaanxi was in trouble and defected to Jing**. Then Jing** was destroyed by the strangulation of Zhang Zuolin and Yan Xishan. Yun Lishan was injured and recuperated for several months. When he learned that the Democratic Party was changed to the Kuomintang, the Democratic Party veterans were all over the country, and Yun Lishan was discouraged. At this time, Wang Maoru fought the real battle between the Chinese people in Europe and was exaggerated to be a national hero in China. At that time, he was also chasing the Northeast Army.
It became a trend. So Yun Lishan believed that the rise of the Northeast Army was not far away to save the Republic of China, so he defected to the Northeast Army outside the pass. Yun Lishan was already twenty-six years old. He became the battalion commander in Jing**, but after he arrived in the Northeast, he could only start as a small soldier. After staying in the army for half a year, he was admitted to the Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Because of his rich experience, he was valued by the Military Information Department and the CIA, and only studied in the military academy for one year. He was snatched talents by the CIA and became the stationmaster of the Shaanxi Station of the CIA, and returned to Xi'an to develop the CIA off the line.
This time, Zhang Kui'an came to Shaanxi, and Yun Lishan was promoted to Zhang Kui'an's secretary. The stationmaster of the Central Intelligence Department was held by someone else. Yun Lishan also walked out of the darkness from a trembling intelligence officer and became a righteous and open secretary and officer of the General Staff.
"Minister, I secretly stuffed money from the officer, at least 200, and at most 800." Yun Lishan said with a cold face. People from intelligence came from this expression all day long.
Zhang Kui'an nodded and said, "Don't worry, don't give too much. Is it all for the family?"
"yes."
"That's good, don't be too hasty." Zhang Kui'an nodded. "We want to live in Xi'an for a while, and we don't have to rush for a while. Moreover, we have not yet grasped the character and temperament of the people of the Northwest Army, so we should not act rashly. The low-level officers of the Northwest Army are from the Northwest Army, but the senior officers are from the Northeast. Think about it, there must be a conflict between the two sides. Taking advantage of this contradiction may take away the Northwest without a single soldier."
Yun Lishan nodded, and knew it in his heart. He left the inn and privately looked for the new stationmaster of Shaanxi Station. Seeing that there were no followers on the left, he went to an incense and candle shop. On the surface, this was an incense and candle shop run by Henan people. Because of the severe drought in Henan, the family had just moved from Xinxiang, so they were forced to open this incense and candle shop. But the incense and candle shop actually set up a new intelligence agency for the National Defense Forces. There were paper people and paper horses at the door. As soon as they entered the door, there were three coffins. Which patrolman was willing to come in and investigate.
The matter of the Northwest Army is complicated to say, but in fact it is simple, and it is just a matter of money.
When Zhang Zuolin led the Feng army that had been exiled from the northeast to pacify the northwest, the three armies in the northwest fought in chaos and the people were suffering. Zhang Zuolin led the Feng army to quell the war and calm the people's cultivation, and indeed quelled the war in the northwest as soon as possible. Then Zhang Zuolin bribed the Northwest Hui army through various means, calmed down the northwest with moderate means, occupied the land of the four provinces, and became the true king of the northwest.
However, the northwest is poor. In order to strive for a better life, the Northwest Army united and made its combat effectiveness quite strong. However, the Northwest Army had a unfaithful flaw. After Zhang Zuolin expanded his army in the northwest, the Feng army, who were born in the northeastern army, either became a squad leader or a company commander. However, out of a stranger to the soldiers born in the northwest, the Northwest soldiers were not valued. In the subsequent battle, the four months of fighting with the Jin army, the Northwest Army was forced to withdraw from Shanxi due to heavy casualties. After the defeat, conflicts naturally arose. Low-level officers resented the senior officers who were born in the Feng army, and senior officers complained that the Shaanxi soldiers were not effective in combat.
The biggest problem facing the Northwest Army now is the issue of pension for the fallen soldiers. The officers from Fengtian Army were given pensions, while the Shaanxi soldiers died but were only mats and buried in a hurry. This incident caused dissatisfaction among the low-level officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army from Shaanxi, and the morale in the army was sluggish.
After learning the news, Zhang Kui'an became more confident. When he came to the Northwest Army, he discovered the weakness of the Northwest Army. He immediately reported to Wang Maoru. After Wang Maoru received the news in Beijing, he laughed and said to Jiang Fangzhen: "The ability of Dingguo is indeed extraordinary. With this person, he can resist half of the country."
Jiang Fangzhen shook his head and said, "This statement cannot be circulated outside the world, and it can make people hear it, which is enough to arouse jealousy."
Wang Maoru said: "That's right, Brother Baili, you are so steady."
At this time, there was also smoke and clouds in the Great General's Mansion of the Northwest Army in Xi'an. Zhang Zuolin never smoked big cigarettes, nor did he allow his officers to smoke big cigarettes in front of him. Everyone knew Zhang Zuolin's habits, so he sat on a chair and smoked dry cigarettes with a big cigarette pipe. Several officers looked unwilling, and Zhang Zuolin slapped the table and said angrily: "There are really deserters? Mom! He died, all of them were killed!"
The commander of the military police, Qin Hua, quickly persuaded him: "Master, you can't die, you can't die."
"Why can't you die?" Tang Yulin said angrily, "Mom, you've become a deserter, what if you don't die?"
Qin Hua said: "Why do they want to be deserters? I have to listen to their reasons. Anyway, I can't do it, so I won't do the job of killing deserters."
Tang Yulin said: "If you don't do it, I will do it!"
"Fuck it, why are you arguing?" Zhang Zuolin used his scolding to stop the two of them from making noise, and glared at him: "Erhu, sit down for me. Qin Hua, tell me, why can't we kill the deserter? This deserter was shot since ancient times, why can't we shoot him?"
Sun Liechen also said: "I have done this military commander, and I have also done the task of shooting the deserter. Why can't I die?"
Qin Hua sighed and said, "I can't say this, let the deserter say it." After a while, a Northwest Soldier, who was tied up, opened his eyes wide open and waited for the entire room with anger.
"What's your name?" Sun Liechen said.
"Tong Dongwa." said the officer.
Several people laughed. This name is interesting. Dongwa, you can tell that this person is born in a miserable way, and no one in his family knows to give a serious name.
"What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at!" Tong Dongwa shouted, "Your name sounds good? Your name sounds nice? Zhang Dashuai's name was changed later. Didn't it sound bad before?"
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "Good boy, even I dare to come up with it. Tell me, why do you become a deserter?"
"Why? It's not because you don't care about our soldiers' lives or death!" Tong Dongwa said, "Why are our Northwest Army dead and we don't even have any pensions? The National Welfare Army died, and the family has two oceans a month, and it's almost twenty-four oceans a year. Our soldiers are disabled and drive them away. When the National Welfare Army soldiers are injured, they will arrange for officials to return to their hometowns. At the very least, they are also the chief of the village. Why are they different? You were born by your parents, why do you do this?"
"So you are planning to surrender to the National Defense Forces?" Sun Liechen asked sternly.
"What's wrong? If you can't survive, you won't be able to find a way out? Who doesn't want to survive?" Tong Dongwa shouted, "I know I'm sure I'll die today. I'll just talk to you. We Shaanxi people don't like to talk, it's not that we are stupid, but that we Shaanxi people are used to doing real things. We Shaanxi people spit out a nail and do what we say, so we never like to be polite. Let's just say that you high-ranking officials, there must be four or five of them, right? Look at me, I'm all a platoon leader, but I have to watch my favorite woman in our village marry a landlord and a wife. Why? Because I've never greedy for soldiers' money, I'm poor, but I feel at ease. My subordinates
The soldiers followed me and might have disappeared that day. The 20-year-old man said he would be gone. What should their parents do? How do they raise their parents? I told us well before attacking Shanxi. Everyone would get rich after attacking Shanxi. But we had a platoon and fought for Shanxi. Eighteen of them came back alive. Half of them died in Shanxi. There was no money for a settlement, not even a money for a settlement! I led the troops to fight and block the attack, and told my brothers that they would fight to the death for the patrol Zhang and have a strong care of their family. But until now, we have not made a penny of money, but no money for a penny. How can the platoon leader be a good person to see them? I took the lead as a deserter, not for myself, but for my brothers, I can't let my brothers die in vain if they die."
