———————

The Datong Party has never bribed Shanxi merchants, but it can drive Shanxi merchants to come and be lobbyists for them. While Yan Xishan was afraid, he was more questioning in his heart, does the Datong Party really have some inhuman ability to forcibly reverse the will of others?

These thoughts flashed like lightning in his heart, but Yan Xishan had to answer the questions of Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li, because compared to the Datong Party, Shanxi merchants were his real parents of food and clothing. Offending them would be like moving their own foundation, and he would not do such things.

So Yan Xishan laughed and said, "Boss Cai, Boss Li, it's not that Yan doesn't want to borrow the road, but whether this road can be taken back after it is lent out is two different things."

Yan Xishan was straightforward, Cai Li and others were not fools, they were just afraid of being annexed by the Datong Party, which was not what they cared about. You should know that since Yan Xishan chose to remain silent, their losses have appeared in front of them, and Yan Xishan was worried about being annexed. If they wanted them to bear the losses for this unknown, they would not do it if they beat them to death.

Cai Li and others said: "Captain Yan, the Datong Party has been working with us for so long. Do you still not believe in the character of the Datong Party? You should know that the Datong Party's slogan is 'Stop the civil war and be united to the outside world'. How can an organization that claims to be just like the Datong Party, how can it be repentant?"

Yan Xishan thought that his words were already straightforward enough, but he didn't expect that Cai Li and others were still speaking for the Datong Party. He couldn't help but be angry in his heart why these people turned their elbows out. He had been taking special care of them over the years, and now he is becoming more and more domineering. Do you really think the gun in his hand is a fire-search stick?

Although he was angry, Yan Xishan still kept smiling and said, "Boss Cai, Boss Li, do you mean that you hope Yan will lend it to the Datong Party?"

"Captain Yan has no confidence in dealing with the Japanese. Isn't it a good choice to let the more powerful Datong Party go to the front line?"

If the Datong Party did not have to borrow from Jinsui, Yan Xishan would of course be very happy to see the Datong Party fighting with the Japanese. Whether the Datong Party defeated the Japanese or the Japanese defeated the Datong Party, it would be a good thing for him.

Seeing that Cai Li and others were determined to speak for the Datong Party, Yan Xishan could not really agree to lend it to the Datong Party, so he found an excuse to send these people away and knock them on them. Don’t think that there is a little money in your hands and you can point fingers at the gun in his hand.

After leaving Yan Xishan's mansion, although Cai Li and others were a little afraid of Yan Xishan's final warning, they would not surrender easily for their own interests. What's more, they were almost fearless with a powerful supporter like the Datong Party behind them.

Back to the usual gathering place, Cai Li and others sat down to discuss what to do next. They boasted in front of Xi Zhongxun that Haikou could allow Yan Xishan to borrow the passage. Now Yan Xishan was clenching and refused to let go, so Xi Zhongxun couldn't explain it.

Because he was worried that the fatty meat that would be lost the most after the Datong Party left, Cai Li and others made up their minds to give Yan Xishan a good look. After they went back, they cut off all the taxes that should be paid at the end of the year, and after cutting off Yan Xishan's military pay, they saw how powerful he could be.

If it were before, Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants would never dare to do this, but now they are backed by mountains like the Datong Party, and they are a little fearless for a while.

In addition, Cai Li and others also actively contacted the officers in the Shanxi-Sui Army. Most of these officers were natives from Shanxi-Sui Army and had more or less kinship with Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li, and were even the largest commercial alliance of Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li.

Although there is a layer of military status. The officers of the Jinsui clan are still merchants, and their money and interests are regarded as the top priority by them. Since the Datong Party issued the "Declaration", they have also discovered that their wealth has shrunk, but because of their poor identity, they asked the Datong Party for inquiries at this time.

After being found by Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants, they realized the twists and turns. Although they felt that they had been cheated, they still didn't want the Datong Party to leave. The magic of money has made them unable to let go.

Sure enough, after Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants explained their ideas in detail with these Shanxi-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-Sui-

After the two sides had broken through, these officer representatives went to test Yan Xishan's words. Although they were severely criticized, they did not do anything. After all, they occupied a considerable position in the Jinsui Army, and now the year is approaching, and all troops are urging them. Yan Xishan's military pay was detained in the hands of Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li. At this time, Yan Xishan did not dare to act rashly.

Unlike the army of the Datong Party, the Jinsui Army was an old warlord, an army maintained by money and loyalty in the world. Before the military pay was paid enough, they could not command their soldiers. Therefore, Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants dared to cut off Yan Xishan's taxes.

If the taxes cannot be collected, Yan Xishan was unable to pay military pay. Without military pay, he could not command the troops and could not collect the taxes from Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li. This was almost a vicious cycle. Yan Xishan never expected that he would fall into such a passive situation one day.

At this point, he finally realized that the Datong Party had no good intentions at the beginning. On the surface, he was looking for himself to cooperate with the economy, but secretly he turned his Jinsui army into water spinach, which not only dug out the Shanxi merchants he relied on as his backer, but also caused some officers within the Jinsui army to turn against him.

Originally, he thought he was careful enough to block all possible small movements of the Datong Party, but he didn't expect that the Datong Party's methods were so clever, and he used open conspiracy methods under his eyes, so that the Shanxi merchants unknowingly turned to the Datong Party.

Faced with threats from Shanxi merchants outside and forced by the officers inside, Yan Xishan was in a state of great anxiety for a while. Not long after, it seemed that he had grown up for decades. It turned out that he had white hair in his black hair, but now he was looking for black hair in his white hair.

Despite this, Yan Xishan was still unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to seek assistance from other forces. Unfortunately, the 29th Army in Hebei had been in a tense situation with the Japanese. Chang Kaishen's main force of the Central Army had just ended the fierce battle with the Guangxi clique and remained in the south. Other forces were either too far away or could not count on them. For a moment, it seemed that they were alone and had no help.

In fact, it is not really isolated and helpless. At least the Japanese contacted Yan Xishan when seeking North China autonomy and promised countless benefits. However, as smart as Yan Xishan, how could he believe in the bright future portrayed by the Japanese? Relatively speaking, the promises of the Datong Party are much more pragmatic, which is why he fell into the Datong Party's open conspiracy without knowing it.

In the end, Yan Xishan had no choice but to agree with the suggestions of Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants and the officers' group. However, he deeply hated that these people betrayed him, so he simply did everything and gave the entire Jinsui Army and the Jinsui provinces to the Datong Party, which made all the wishful thinking of these people fail.

It has to be said that Yan Xishan's last move was beyond everyone's expectations. The Shanxi merchants and the officers' group just did not want the Datong Party to lose their wealth after leaving and forced Yan Xishan to use the situation. They did not want to merge into the Datong Party at all. Although they were greedy for money, they also understood that they could not be with the Datong Party after all.

But now, they have to eat the consequences they have planted by themselves. After Yan Xishan made this decision, they can no longer stop it and cannot stop it.

Relatively speaking, the Datong Party, who had the last laugh, achieved great success. It not only opened the route of the Japanese army in the Eastern Expedition, but also harvested nearly 100,000 troops from the Shanxi-Suizhou Army and the territory of the two provinces, and further expanded its strength.

After reaching an agreement to reincarnate the Jinsui Army with Yan Xishan, the Datong Party sent the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army and the Fourth Army to cross the Yellow River, taking over the important cities of the Shanxi and Sui provinces as quickly as possible, and then launched a drastic reorganization of the Jinsui Army.

Faced with the decisive actions of the Datong Party, although the Jinsui Army was not used to it, it had to honestly follow the requirements of the Datong Party. After all, the Datong Party of the four field armies was not something they could resist, not to mention that this was an order issued by Yan Xishan himself, and most people dared not have any objection.

After some elimination of the weak and retaining the strong, the Jinsui Army was finally reorganized into the 10th Army of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, and one cavalry brigade was under the jurisdiction of three field divisions and one cavalry brigade. The commander was Fu Zuoyi, the former senior general of the Jinsui Army.

As for Yan Xishan, after experiencing this incident, he had lost his previous ambitions and wanted to be an apartment house. So the Datong Party retained the original mansion of Taiyuan for him and added a lot of life items from the future to him.

In addition, the false title of deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army will not be lacking. The Datong Party will never be stingy for a person like Yan Xishan who retreats rapidly, unless he will jump out to cause trouble in the future. However, the possibility of this is relatively small. Just looking at Yan Xishan's lonely appearance now, I don't know how many years he can survive.

Within one year, a large number of armed forces that did not belong to the Datong Party themselves were successively incorporated. In order to take care of those commanders of the Datong Party and to ensure that the troops can use their arms and fingers in the future, the military rank system has to be placed on the desk of the Party Central Committee meeting.

Although the Datong Party did not like the strict hierarchy of military ranks, after learning modern military command, they also understood the importance of military ranks in some special occasions. So after Li Keji's proposal and after the Party Central Committee held a meeting and discussed, the first military rank system was officially introduced, basically following the 21st century PLA military rank system.

After applying the 21st century PLA military rank system, the generals were only a few big bosses of the Military Commission, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, all the commanders of the army were all lieutenant generals, and the division commanders were also all major generals. A few were large colonels, the brigade commanders of the Independent Cavalry Brigade were large colonels, and a few were major generals.

As for the regiment level, it is similar to the conventional rules, and they are all regiment commanders, battalion commanders, majors, company commanders, and platoon commanders.
