Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chinese Warriors

Another character like "Xiao Mengchang" He Chengjun is about to appear. Through his dazzling vertical and horizontal skills, he launched a heroic army that is all-powerful on the anti-Japanese battlefield, and performed a touching story with his brothers. Love story.They represent that era, those people. It is impossible for Du Yuming to understand the mind of the Kwantung Army so clearly, but if the enemy does not pursue, that is a very good thing. Hurry up and stabilize your position to contain the troops. At the same time, although Gubeikou on the west line was defeated, Xifengkou on the middle line unexpectedly brought everyone a surprise.

The Chinese warriors appeared. This is the 29th Army that is about to become popular in half the sky in China. Speaking of which, it was not easy for these buddies to survive in the past, but they can still achieve such good results, which cannot but make us stand in awe. Get up and give them a round of applause. Before we trace the feats of the 29th Army's Great Wall War of Resistance, it is necessary to explain how this strong force, which was about to catch up with the old Northwest Army, rose rapidly after the Central Plains War. Do you still remember Zhang Taiyan and Zhang Lao’s cool comment after the "1.28" Songhu Battle-"I heard that Feng Yuxiang's troops have similar skills to the 19th Route Army, so that they can win against the enemy."

Back then, during the heyday of the old Northwest Army, it was able to stand against the Central Army. The generals and men under Lao Feng's command who could fight were like crucian carp crossing the river. If they were singled out, the 19th Route Army with "similar skills" Whether you can do it better than the other party has to be said. It's a pity that in the Central Plains War, the old Northwest Army who once ascended the heights and gathered responders has been completely erased from the list of heroes forever since then. The giant building suddenly collapsed, leaving only the remnant dreams of yesterday, or no dreams at all.

Of course, on top of the ruins, in addition to the crushed concrete, steel bars as thick as the mouth of a bowl can be seen everywhere. Song Zheyuan is undoubtedly the thicker one. When the Central Plains War came to an end, the way back to the west was cut off, and it was impossible to return to my hometown.Song Zheyuan wanted to cross the Yellow River from Tongguan to the east and enter Shanxi to avoid the limelight.But Yan Laoxi, who was better at calculating than anyone else, scooped up all the ferry boats in advance and took them to the east bank. Up to now, Song Zheyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and send Yan Xishan a series of telegrams, asking him to pull a younger brother with a different surname no matter what.

Lao Yan pretended to be deaf and dumb when he came, and pretended that he hadn't received it. Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.Although the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army were not husband and wife, they also had a "revolutionary friendship" that formed an alliance to fight against Chiang. In the end, Song Zheyuan managed to find 3 small boats by the river. Relying on these 3 lifesaving boats, he took a few soldiers and hid in the south of Shanxi. Of course, the large troops can only be thrown on the other side for the Central Army to collect.

After that, some troops who had been beaten to pieces came over one after another. Everyone was miserable and panicked, and they huddled together to keep warm. There are less than a thousand people, and they are still black households, without even a temporary residence permit. With no other options, Song Zheyuan decided to make one last attempt—to go to Taiyuan and talk to that stingy Yan Xishan again. "Talking about it" is a nice way of saying it, but it actually means "asking for something." In this hopeless trip, the closer he got to Taiyuan, the more discouraged he felt. When he arrived at a restaurant in Shanxi, he finally didn't want to go any further.

Rather than being ridiculed by others and being unable to do anything, it is better to disarm and return to the farmland, and go to Tianjin as an apartment. However, before that, he must meet someone. After seeing it, I have no regrets. Who is so important? It's not the coach Feng Yuxiang. During the Great War in the Central Plains, we have already seen a genius leader of a motley army-"Little Mengchang" He Chengjun.After that, another more powerful person popped up, that is, the person Song Zheyuan had to see in his despair. His name is Xiao Zhenying. He Chengjun is good at making friends, he can get acquainted with everyone he meets, and he can settle many personnel matters within a certain range.

With this kind of ability, Xiao Zhenying can at least have an equal share with him. When talking about Xiao Zhenying, the elders of the Republic of China expressed a lot of emotion, saying that as long as you get acquainted with this person, he will be familiar with you immediately when you meet him for the first time, and it looks like you have been friends for many years. Then you will get to the point of "entrusting your wife and son" to each other. For the third time, don't say anything at all, just knock your head on the ground, and beg your brother to be your brother! Believe it or not, people have this ability.It is said that his family has accumulated so many blue books (that is, the post that is necessary when making friends with brothers), that it has reached the "appalling state".

Under Feng Yuxiang, Xiao Zhenying, who has no party or affiliation, was appointed as the mayor of Xi'an and the chief of military law of Song Zheyuan's army.Because of his good popularity among the senior officials of the Northwest Army, everyone called him "Brother Xiao". Thinking about the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Lao Feng was also in Xi'an to figure out the party.Although he later became closer to my party, he started the anti-communist movement unambiguously at that time. In Xi’an alone, more than a thousand young people (3,000 according to one account) were arrested, and they all planned to become "communist members." to kill.In fact, many of them were not the Communist Party, and later even became the backbone of the Kuomintang. To put it bluntly, they were people who dared to say something about "saving the country and the people" and who were able to talk about national affairs.

Xiao Zhenying knew very well that not only were these people innocent, but they could all become pillars of the country in the future.His surname Xiao can't do such a self-destructive thing. If you want to plead with Feng Yuxiang, with the temper of "Mr. Feng" (Feng Yuxiang), you will never let go, not only will you not let go, maybe they will be dragged out of prison and chopped up immediately. what to do? Because of this matter, Xiao Zhenying didn't go home for several days, and stayed alone in the Military Law Department ("Rounding the room to compete at night").

At dawn, I finally made up my mind. He called the captain of the guard and asked him to release the prisoner. The latter asked him who he would release.A: Only those under the age of 16 are allowed. As soon as the captain of the guard walked out of the door, he chased after him again, gritted his teeth, and changed his words: put those under 18 years old. The captain of the guard agreed and left.Xiao Zhenying chased again, this time he simply set a line: let everyone under 20 years old! Few of these young people were over the age of 20, so they all disappeared. It is impossible for Feng Yuxiang not to know about such a big matter, and when he found out, he became furious and ordered Xiao Zhenying to be executed immediately. At this time, something happened that Lao Feng couldn't figure out. Suddenly a large group of people knelt down in the hall. Upon closer inspection, they were all senior generals of the Northwest Army. The veterans included Song Zheyuan, Ma Hongbin, and Menzhizhong, while the newcomers included Feng Zhian and Zhang Zizhong. Feng didn't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, and let Xiao Zhenying go. The order could no longer be carried out, and this was extremely rare in the Northwest Army where the patriarchal system prevailed and orders were always prohibited. Feng Yuxiang's complexion has changed, don't you think it's impossible to rebel, when did what I said change? Don't let go! Lao Feng's character, in the eyes of outsiders, often has a weird side. For example, if he thinks that you must be punished, he must be punished. To be punished more severely ("double the heavy responsibility"). Inhumanity is inhumaneness, but objectively speaking, this is also an important means for him to rule the army with an iron fist and improve his prestige in the army ("to show that he must never be moved by the outside world"), otherwise, It is hard to imagine that the Northwest Army, which is full of generals, will be the only one who is leading the way. This time, however, is definitely an exception.Because Song Zheyuan soon invited bigger names: Zhang Shusheng, Wen Chenglie.These two are both veterans of the Northwest Army, and Zhang Shusheng and Feng Yuxiang are sworn brothers. Seeing that the favor was about to reach the sky, Lao Feng, who couldn't bear it anymore, had to let Xiao Zhenying go. Since then, Feng and Xiao have formed a relationship for this, and Xiao Zhenying has never been able to gain the trust and reuse of Lao Feng, but this has promoted another circle to be unbreakable: Xiao Zhenying has successively cooperated with Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian, Zhao Dengyu, etc. Waiting for eight obeisances to make friends and become brothers. This circle is actually the embryonic form of the top leaders of the 29th Army. Song Zheyuan, who had almost lost all hope, sent a letter to Xiao Zhenying, but he was not sure that the other party would definitely come. In terms of status, he is no longer a general of the Northwest Army. To put it bluntly, he is just a poor dog, and it is too late for others to hide from you. But Xiao Zhenying rushed over. People say that men don't flick their tears easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad.Song Zheyuan burst into tears, holding Xiao Zhenying's hand and didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said a sentence: I just waited for you to come, I just want to see you, and then I set off for Tianjin (“Just wait for you, I will return to Tianjin after meeting”). There are still a thousand people left, but they have been handed over to Liu Ruming, let them resign themselves to fate. Xiao Zhenying persuaded Song Zheyuan that although the old Northwest Army collapsed, the matter was not irreparable, and there was still a chance to make a comeback (“The ambition to save the country has not been achieved, so why talk about disbanding and returning to the fields”). Song Zheyuan sighed, in the current situation, people's hearts have been scattered, and it is not easy to pinch everyone together again. Anyway, Song Zheyuan didn't have the ability.Not to mention anything else, he was about to go to Taiyuan, but he didn't even have the courage to meet Yan Xishan, and he couldn't even solve the household registration problem, so there was no talk of a comeback. He looked at Xiao Zhenying across from him: Is there a way for you to persuade that Yan Laoxi? Xiao Zhenying shook his head. Song Zheyuan sat down on the chair again. Then don't try to persuade me, I know you mean well, but this is the end of the matter, let me go where I should go. Xiao Zhenying's subsequent words made Song Zheyuan almost think that there was something wrong with his ears - although I can't persuade Yan Xishan, I can help you rebuild a new Northwest Army! After all, drift away. Although messing around on the scene, Xiao Zhenying is not a person who likes to talk big. In fact, he already had a preliminary idea in his mind for rebuilding the Northwest Army. The first step is to knead the brothers into a ball. This is actually a very difficult job in the Northwest Army.Because the former generals of the old Northwest Army refused to accept anyone.Can we dismantle each other and trust each other?What kind of stuff is this? I haven't heard of it, so don't talk about it! Before the Central Plains War, everyone still listened to Feng Yuxiang alone. After the defeat of the Central Plains War, even Lao Feng's brand was not easy to use. What Xiao Zhenying meant was that he hoped to establish a new leadership group headed by Song Zheyuan. He first found Zhang Zizhong who was also hiding in Jinnan. Among the remnants of the Northwest Army that went to Shanxi, several self-loyal divisions had the most complete organization, and they were basically not broken up, with a total of 5,000 troops.Song Zheyuan only has more than a thousand people. According to the comparison of strength and weakness, he should support Zhang Zizhong instead. Zhang Zizhong is in favor of reorganizing the team, but he does not agree with making Song Zheyuan the boss. Xiao Zhenying said to him: Everyone is a brother in need, will you listen to me? Zhang Zizhong immediately said: "Of course I listen to my elder brother." Well, I, Xiao Zhenying, support Song Zheyuan.Because he has two qualifications: the prestige is enough to convince the public, and he is honest enough ("Yi Gao can get a scholar"). Zhang Zizhong is a very honest person, once the truth is explained, he suddenly becomes enlightened, and readily promises Xiao Zhenying that he will "obey to the end". After Zhang Zizhong was settled, Xiao Zhenying went to work one by one without stopping. These people from the Northwest Army are all in a hurry to jump the wall. They crossed the Yellow River without getting permission from Yan Xishan. After they came, they were scattered in various places in southern Shanxi. easy job. It is said that the new army will be rebuilt, and everyone agrees, but no consensus has been reached on the issue of who should be the leader.At the beginning, everyone said that Xiao Zhenying should lead the group, Xiao Zhenying quickly waved his hands: I will come up with ideas next to me, and I am definitely not qualified to be a "boss". Seeing Xiao Zhenying's refusal, everyone said to let Zhang Zizhong take the lead. Anyway, no one thought of the down-and-out Song Zheyuan. Xiao Zhenying still insisted on the original idea. When everyone is together, isn't it to reunite?Song Zheyuan is qualified to take the top spot just by using the word "righteousness", and he is indeed a big brother, and he can only succeed if he works with him. After Xiao Zhenying's publicity back and forth, all the generals gradually figured it out, so let's do it. The last one to find was Zhao Dengyu. Xiao Zhenying originally thought it might be difficult to convince him.Because according to the expected establishment, Zhao Dengyu can only be ranked as the brigade commander, and he was the division commander in the Northwest Army before, and he also served as Lao Feng's bodyguard. Unexpectedly, after a few words, Zhao Dengyu didn't mention any conditions, and only replied to Xiao Zhenying: "Whether you want to do it or not, how to do it, it's up to you, Brother Xiao, let alone the brigade commander, let me be the regiment commander and battalion commander." Row. Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Zhenying held a meeting in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and gathered all the people who had talked with him to discuss it.At the meeting, according to Xiao Zhenying's proposal, it was initially decided to form an army, with Song Zheyuan as the "leader" and Zhang Zizhong as the "second leader". However, for Xiao Zhenying, getting things done internally is only the starting point, and the real difficulty is yet to come. Forming an army is all a matter of thinking behind closed doors, and others have to admit it.If others don't admit it, you just want to form a division and a brigade, which is just a dream. What you said above is just playing house behind closed doors. The name is very important. Xiao Zhenying decided to go to the capital to work on the project. The capital of course refers to Nanjing. Running a project costs money.Xiao Zhenying touched his pocket, but there was nothing there. Song Zheyuan and the others were pitiful, and they couldn't help much even after eating their last meal. what to do? Can only borrow. Xiao Zhenying went to Taiyuan to find a bank to borrow money. Shanxi was not now at that time, and it was known as the richest country in the country.Bank accounts in Taiyuan are everywhere, as long as you want to borrow, there is money. It is of course auspicious to get together.The bank Xiao Zhenying found was called Juyi Bank, and he borrowed a total of 2,000 yuan, including travel expenses and management fees. When he arrived in Nanjing, the person he wanted to meet was of course Lao Jiang who had all the power for a while.But the majestic head of state is not something you can see whenever you want, you have to be introduced by someone. The person who introduced Xiao Zhenying was Yu Youren, the director of the Overwatch Council.He is a native of Shaanxi. He once served as the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government and has a close relationship with Feng Yuxiang and the Northwest Army. Lao Jiang naturally had no reason not to miss the person recommended by Yu Youren. In front of Lao Jiang, Xiao Zhenying explained the whole story in detail, expressing the hope that Song Zheyuan could be adapted. Lao Jiang agreed and asked him to find Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin to implement relevant matters in detail. Xiao Zhenying didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wait a minute, brother Xiao, according to the general life experience, if something goes too smoothly, it is often doubtful. We should never believe that success will fall from the sky.In many cases, it just means the beginning of the ordeal. Sure enough, Minister He's answer seemed to pour cold water on Xiao Zhenying's pocket. He Yingqin said that there used to be one organization, that is, the 27th Route Army, but it has been cancelled. Is there any new compilation? Have.But need to wait. After waiting for a few days, Xiao Zhenying still couldn't get any reply, but met an "old friend". At this time, Han Fuju was also living in the capital. In the past, Han Fuju was scolded by all his colleagues for betraying Feng.Now seeing that Xiao Zhenying is also here, and living under the fence, he is very happy. Didn't you all call me and Shi Yousan the "rebellious" Wei Yan?What's going on now, you and Song Zheyuan are also crying and wanting to be Wei Yan. Xiao Zhenying was upset, so he replied bluntly: We are Huang Zhong, not Wei Yan! Han Fuju didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they all came to vote for Jiang, how come you turned into a red face and a white face in your mouth. Xiao Zhenying ignored him and continued to wait. This wait is two months. Two months was longer than two years for Xiao Zhenying.The capital city is Migui, and the rent is very high. His money bag seems to be shrinking a little bit, but he can't go back because he hasn't done things well. When I think of the brothers living in Shanxi without food and clothing, and don't know what kind of crime they are suffering, my heart feels like being stabbed by a knife. It is really uncomfortable ("the mood is very sad"). Sit down and think about it carefully, I understand. Lao Jiang agreed verbally, but it was actually a perfunctory remark, and he disagreed in his heart. What is not compiled?Pure bullshit.As long as he is willing to adapt you, he doesn't care about giving you an extra setup. Lao Jiang and He Yingqin, the master and servant, are playing football to put it bluntly.I promised to pass on the scriptures to you, but what I passed on was the scriptures without words, which made you happy for nothing. According to this situation, let alone two months, even if you wait for another two years, you may not be able to wait for the good news you want. This doesn't work, you have to think again. One day, Xiao Zhenying flipped through the newspaper and suddenly saw a piece of news: "Fengtian Gendarmerie went to Taiyuan to take over the arsenal". In front of my eyes, the opportunity came. Before dawn, Xiao Zhenying stood under Lao Jiang's office building and waited. Because Lao Jiang's secretary called him, Lao Jiang was going out to speak to a group of civil and military officials that morning. The secretary is also very busy. If she doesn't write a report to the leader, why is she meddling in this matter? Hey, it's a relationship. A master is a master, and after a lot of detours, Xiao Zhenying passed the relationship to Lao Jiang's secretary this time. Lao Jiang saw Xiao Zhenying as soon as he went out, and because he was going to speak, he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. Get over it now. Xiao Zhenying knew what Lao Jiang was thinking, and immediately took the initiative to say: This time I will only talk to you for three minutes, and after the three minutes are over, I will leave immediately. Lao Jiang became embarrassed when he said this to the other party. Take it easy, sit down and talk. Before preparing this three-minute statement, Xiao Zhenying spent a lot of time and brains. Why does the first meeting lead to a failed ending?The key lies in not thoroughly studying Lao Jiang's psychology, and not thinking about the problem from his perspective. So what is Lao Jiang thinking now, or in other words, after the Central Plains War, is everything safe for him? The answer is of course no. What Lao Jiang thought all day long was to "reduce the vassal" and merge the Northeast and North China into similar items and put them into the pocket of the central government.In the Central Plains War, although he defeated Lao Feng and Lao Yan and made his authority in the Nanjing government equal for a while, this does not mean that North China can truly be under his control. The entry of the Northeast Army, on the one hand, enabled Lao Jiang to finally establish a victory; but on the other hand, it also made the situation in North China more complicated, that is, the former may become bigger because of this. Although the Northeast has changed its banner formally, it is actually difficult for the central government to get involved there. If the entire North China is also controlled by the Northeast Army, it will become another Northeast. Only from this perspective, think about what Lao Jiang thinks, and worry about what Lao Jiang is anxious about, can the conversation be effective. The important thing is how to make North China not be decided by the Northeast Army family. Xiao Zhenying started with the topic in the newspaper: I heard that the Northeast Army might take over the Taiyuan Arsenal. Lao Jiang's ears really perked up. Xiao Zhenying analyzed that, regardless of a small arsenal, if you take over the arsenal today, you will be able to take over the entire Shanxi tomorrow, and Shanxi has always been the core of North China (“Whoever wins Taiyuan wins the world, and whoever wins Taiyuan wins the best location”), if This place is under the control of the Northeast Army, and Zhang Xueliang's power will be terrible. For the central government, it may become a big deal in the future. Lao Jiang looked at Xiao Zhenying. So, do you have any ideas? Have. Xiao Zhenying's strategy is to use the Jin system to worship. I know a man named Wen Shouquan, who lives in Shanghai now, and he is my best friend.He used to be the deputy governor and minister of military and political affairs in Shanxi, and he was very familiar with the generals of Shanxi. I asked him to go to Taiyuan to work, and we must not let the Northeast Army enter Shanxi. Lao Jiang's face gradually eased down. Have you had breakfast? Xiao Zhenying rubbed his head, came early in the morning, not yet. Then have breakfast with me. Xiao Zhenying was lucky today, being able to eat at the same table with Lao Jiang is not an ordinary treatment. In order to have an in-depth discussion with Xiao Zhenying, Lao Jiang even temporarily canceled all the speech arrangements for the day. Because what Xiao Zhenying was involved in was really what he cared about the most. After breakfast and talking for a long time, Lao Jiang called Kong Xiangxi: Well, this is how it happened, you can figure it out. Kong Xiangxi is such an exquisite person, he immediately understood what Lao Jiang meant.He asked people to hand over two things to Xiao Zhenying: 20,000 yuan and a letter of appointment as a lieutenant general of the Military Commission. What a timely help.As expected of a big shot, the shot is different. Xiao Zhenying immediately went to Wen Shouquan as a lieutenant general, and the latter really got the job done. Due to the obstruction and opposition of Shanxi generals, the Northeast Army failed to enter Taiyuan. Of course Xiao Zhenying would not do it in vain, Lao Jiang quickly summoned him again. In front of Lao Jiang, Xiao Zhenying said: As long as the central government accepts us, we will resolutely separate from the northwest and be used by you in the future, so as to represent the central government and take root in North China. So far, Lao Jiang finally nodded to Song Zheyuan's reorganization of the new army in Shanxi. Lao Jiang has passed this test.But he is not the only one who has the final say on this matter. In front of Xiao Zhenying, Lao Jiang told the other party very honestly that you have to find another person. who? Zhang Xueliang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and Marshal of the Northeast. On the ground in North China, only if he nodded ("Please send the order"), it would be considered a success. After getting the road sign from Lao Jiang, Xiao Zhenying went to Tianjin to find Zhang Xueliang. But the situation in Tianjin is no more optimistic than that in Nanjing, because someone came over to jump in line. This person is none other than Sun Liangcheng, a well-known figure in the old Northwest Army.After the defeat in the Central Plains War, this old man also became a polished commander and went to Tianjin to work as an apartment. Although he didn't have to worry about food and clothing as an apartment man, he didn't have the reputation of bringing millions of soldiers. Sun Liangcheng also wanted to apply for a name through his relationship with the young commander, and he would be responsible for reorganizing the Shanxi, South and Northwest Army. The person who handled this matter for Sun Liangcheng was Zheng Daoru.This gentleman is also a capable person. He conducted foreign negotiations when he was in the old Northwest Army. Later, after the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, he also served as the "Minister of Economic Affairs."But if you can do it, you can do it. If you meet another one who is more capable, Zheng Jun will have nothing to do. Before that, Zheng Daoru wanted to get the support of Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu first, but things backfired, and both of them were persuaded by Xiao Zhenying.He simply rushed back to Tianjin, planning to follow Zhang Xueliang directly. I was so busy that I couldn't make wedding clothes for others.Xiao Zhenying cheered up and acted quickly. In terms of fame and status, Sun Liangcheng is one of the "Second Grandsons of Han Shi" and Song Zheyuan is one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the old Northwest Army. Now, who to choose is all in Zhang Xueliang's mind. Xiao Zhenying worked hard and used all his available relationships. I forgot to mention that Xiao Zhenying himself is an authentic Northeasterner, and his ancestors also escaped from Shandong to enter the Guandong. Before entering the Northwest Army, Xiao Zhenying spent a long time in the Northeast Army and politics, and then entered the Guan to seek a way out. Taking advantage of this relationship, he first found a person who worked as a successor under Zhang Xueliang.The so-called Chengqi officer is actually doing the work of the old man at the door. He is responsible for notifying the inside when there are guests coming to see him. Regardless of his small official status, he has great energy, and even high-ranking officials have to flatter him.For the secret, interested comrades may wish to look through or Ming and Qing notes. Xiao Zhenying ate and drank with him, bringing the original relationship closer.In the end, I gave this man a thousand dollars, and the request was to let him readjust the order of receiving guests. At that time, the Young Marshal was very popular in North China, and he had the power for a while, and it was not something you could see at will.If you really want to see it, you have to wait in line. Zheng Daoru was originally ranked ahead of Xiao Zhenying, but Cheng Qiguan pulled Xiao Zhenying to the front. Xiao Zhenying was the last in line, but Zhang Xueliang was the first to receive him.This kind of Chinese queuing rules, it is estimated that stupid foreigners will never understand or learn. When meeting Zhang Xueliang this time, Xiao Zhenying fully absorbed the experience and lessons of the Beijing running event. He knew that there was no way out this time, so he had to find out his mind before talking to the other party. The key is that you have to think differently, what worries the young marshal most now. He is most annoyed by those things in Shanxi. Originally, after the end of the Central Plains War, Shanxi was the territory of the Northeast Army.But Shanxi belongs to Yan Laoxi, and no one else can touch it. The man has gone to the wild, but his ghost lingers on. In the final analysis, the Shanxi local government and the Jinsui Army still listen to him, Yan. At that time, Shanxi was not much worse than Pingjin. It was a very beautiful and rich place. If you say that the young commander-in-chief is not tempted, it is a lie. But how can I get in? I'll find a way for you. Xiao Zhenying said, isn't there a Northwest Army in southern Shanxi?At the beginning, Yan Laoxi didn't miss his old love and refused to take in Song Zheyuan, so Song Zheyuan hated this snobbish old guy to the core.Now you only need to ask Song Zheyuan to be responsible for the recruitment of this part of the Northwest Army in southern Shanxi, and you don't need to come forward yourself, and you can achieve the role and effect of controlling Jin. Although not every Northeast person is good at fooling, but after Uncle Benshan’s frequent reminders, we know that at least a considerable number of Northeast people are good at this stunt. Hearing Xiao Zhenying's teasing, the young marshal was really moved. Just like in Nanjing, there were still people playing side drums nearby, and they were all dignitaries in the Northeast Army. These people also knew and knew Xiao Zhenying before.They all ran to the young marshal to speak for him, and among them was Wan Fulin, who could be called a high-ranking and powerful man. Since you all say that Song Zheyuan is good, why hesitate, let him alone. Unfortunately, during this process, the Zheng Daoru sent by Sun Liangcheng was kept in the dark.He calculated that the days were almost over, why the young marshal didn't meet me, so he ran to ask, but Cheng Qi officer found all kinds of excuses and reasons to stop him.Finally, seeing that the overall situation was settled, Zheng Daoru was allowed to visit Zhang Xueliang, but at this time it was unnecessary to say anything, because the relevant appointment had already been issued. People's red-headed documents are all out, how can they be taken back. There was originally a side issue here, that is, when Lao Feng went to the field, he may have considered the reason for staying on other people's land temporarily, saying that he wanted to hand over the remnants of the Northwest Army to Shang Zhen of the Jinsui Army. command. In fact, Lao Feng was just being so polite, but Shang Zhen took it seriously. Seeing that Song Zheyuan was going to organize it by himself, he immediately sent someone to question him. Xiao Zhenying was sure of winning at this time, so why would he care about this again, he scolded the person back on the spot: What is Shang Zhen ("What is Shang Zhen")? This is our own business, why should he be the boss.With his little qualifications, can he still come to be our leader? ! Seeing that Xiao Zhenying was not easy to provoke, Shang Zhen hurriedly backed away, not daring to mention the word "commander" again. In November of the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), only one month after the end of the Central Plains War, the Shanxi Northwest Army was officially organized into the 3rd Army, with Song Zheyuan as the commander. Two months later, the 3rd Army was renamed the 3rd Northeast Frontier Army.It was not until the "September 18th" Incident broke out that the troops stationed in Shanxi were renumbered and were officially named the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Xiao Zhenying was the first to create the 29th Army. In a sense, it can be said that two figures like Mr. Meng Chang have an inseparable relationship with the Northwest Army—He Chengjun defeated an old Northwest Army, while Xiao Zhenying rebuilt a new Northwest Army by himself. The Juyi Pavilion was built, and "Song Gongming" officially took the top spot, and now it's the turn of the brothers to arrange seats. Xiao Zhenying was awarded the title of General Councilor, and he was also in charge of military law as in the past. Song Zheyuan's original chief of staff, Zhang Weifan, is still the chief of staff of the 29th Army. The 29th Army has two divisions under its jurisdiction. Zhang Zizhong is the main force in the reorganization of the army and is also the "second leader". Naturally, he must be the commander of one of the divisions.The commander of the other division was recommended by Zhang Zizhong and arranged for Feng Zhian to take office. Feng Zhi'an himself had no soldiers at that time, but he had been kind to recommend Zhang Zizhong in the past, and he was Song Zheyuan's former direct descendant, and he held the position of teacher commander, so everyone had nothing to say.Feng Zhian had a good relationship with Zhao Dengyu, so Zhao Dengyu became the brigade commander under him. In addition, there are two deputy commanders. The position of deputy army commander was not in the original plan, but the seats of the brothers were not balanced, so they had to insert two benches temporarily. One of them is Liu Ruming, nicknamed "Nazi".His original position in the old Northwest Army was similar to that of Song Zheyuan. After the Central Plains War, there were not many soldiers left, so he came to vote for Song Zheyuan.According to Song Zheyuan's initial thoughts, the 29th Army planned to form three divisions, and Liu Ruming was also appointed as the division commander. It is not beyond the norm in the army to organize three divisions in one army, but this plan cannot be passed by the young marshal.Song Zheyuan had no choice but to make him the deputy commander. Another deputy commander is Qin Dechun (Baoding Military Academy No. 2 Infantry Section). The senior officers of the 29th Army are basically military generals, but Xiao Zhenying and Qin Dechun are on the left and right beside Song Zheyuan, planning and planning, so they can be included in the ranks of advisers. Although the 29th Army is headed by Song Zheyuan, it is implementing the now popular round table conference model.Everyone has reached a tacit agreement that no matter how big the matter is, the "eight giants" must collectively discuss and take responsibility for it, and then act after the plan is completed ("Eight people discuss together, plan and then act"). After such an operation, the 29th Army has become the relatively strongest and most united unit in the old Northwest Army. The household registration problem has finally been solved, but they still face the difficult problem that they can't solve the problem from time to time.Although there is an establishment, the military pay of the 29th Army is pitifully low. After all, it is a miscellaneous army, and it would be good if you can make do with it. If you want to eat enough to eat well, it is really unrealistic. Brother Xiao, for the sake of everyone, you should go to Nanjing again. I have to go out again and find a relationship. The person Xiao Zhenying first thought of was Song Ziwen, the uncle of the country. Song Ziwen, who was the Minister of Finance at the time, was at his most popular, and he enjoyed a lot with Lao Jiang.If you can let him say a few good words to Lao Jiang, you will not worry about the good things. But this door is good, but they can't get in, and they can't even see Song Ziwen's face. Who is Minister Song? The top sea turtle back then not only drank foreign ink, but also drank foreign ink from Harvard in the United States. He usually walks with his nostrils upturned. When he is unhappy, even Lao Jiang doesn’t pay attention to it. . As soon as someone told him that Xiao Zhenying asked to see him, he immediately asked: Who is Xiao Zhenying?Has he stayed in England or been to America?Do you know that coming is come and going is going, nodding yes and shaking your head no? Oh, I don't know, and I don't speak English.So how do I communicate with him?not see! Xiao Zhenying had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and knock on the door of another dignitary—Song Ziwen's brother-in-law and Lao Jiang's brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi. This knock really hits. Speaking of which, Kong Xiangxi and the Northwest Army still have a little historical connection.As early as before Feng Yuxiang broke away from the direct lineage, Sun Yat-sen sent Kong Xiangxi to Lao Feng's side in order to instigate a revolution against him.Later, Lao Feng really started a revolution, and by launching a coup in Beijing, he turned his old employer's immediate government upside down. After the Northern Expedition, Lao Feng became the "Big Four", and Kong Xiangxi and Lao Jiang had that kind of relationship again, so the contacts between the two were naturally closer than before. But then again, before this, it doesn't mean that Kong Xiangxi must have had any impression of Xiao Zhenying. Although Xiao Zhenying took a picture of each other when he came to Beijing last time, it has long since been thrown away. For Kong Xiangxi, there are countless people who seek old Jiang's relationship every day, and Xiao Zhenying is just one of them. But the impression can be deepened, especially when the other party comes to the door with a generous gift. The 29th Army was so poor that what it lacked most was money. However, as the saying goes, "I can't bear the golden marble, I can't beat the silver phoenix." A generous gift was given to Kong Xiangxi. Like Yan Xishan, Kong has always been named a rich man in Shanxi by the outside world. He is very talented in business and has made a lot of money in private.Logically speaking, a person like him should have a very indifferent attitude towards things outside his body. But who have you met who really thinks too much money?What's more, in the Notes of the Republic of China, although this brother Kong can speak a few words of pidgin-style English, he is actually a common man, not a star and a half behind his brother-in-law.People at that time even thought that the self-proclaimed descendant of Confucius was quite like a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms period. That same vulgar Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng. But lay people have their benefits, because dealing with lay people is Xiao Zhenying's specialty. After meeting, watching the other party accept the good things with a smile, Xiao Zhenying also handed over the good things.Inside and outside the words, he revealed this meaning: Although our old Northwest Army has fallen to this point, but as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Mr. Kong will be useful to us in the future. Whether a person can speak or not makes a big difference. Kong Xiangxi was greatly touched when he heard this. During the period of the Republic of China, there were similarities and differences with the previous Song Dynasty. 相同的是,很多武人虽然从根子上说是个大老粗,却极爱附庸风雅,死皮白脸地都要往“儒将”上面凑,在穿戴上盛行不爱武装爱红装,平时军装是根本不穿的,长袍马褂兼瓜皮小帽儿是其惯常打扮。 不同之处则是与宋代士大夫多不屑与武人为伍不同,民国的文人是非常向往和带兵打仗的人有上一腿的(典型的比如汪精卫)。 对于孔祥熙来说,后者的意义更加重要。毕竟他不可能像宋子文那样自己拉起一支税警总团来,要想在老蒋这个连襟前面提高身价,最好的办法莫过于和有实力的武将们拉上关系。 不错,如今的西北军是今不如昔了,然而这就跟炒股一样,原始股价格低,以后上涨的空间才大啊。再说,这只股票简直就等于自己免费送上门来的,除了动动嘴,实际根本花不了什么成本。即使以后真的涨不上去,变成了垃圾股,他孔某人也用不着急得跺脚。 孔祥熙用他那孔方兄一般的心思,拨拉了两下算盘,觉得这笔买卖实在划算,非常值得一试。 然后他就去跟老蒋敲边鼓去了,敲来敲去,无非是让老蒋相信,这个宋哲元虽然在蒋冯战争、中原大战中多次担当反蒋急先锋,但其实是因为身处老冯帐下,不得不为之的结果。他这个人的为人还是很不错的,对你也并没有什么特别的恶意,当年还力争过反蒋不如反阎呢。 从这时候开始,老蒋对宋哲元的印象越来越好,而且时不时地就会给29军拨来补助费。 印象好是件大好事,可是经济问题还是没有能够得以完全解决。 因为那补助费不仅断断续续、时有时无,而且也太少了一点,每次只有区区几万元。 萧振瀛一算账,此次赴京,虽不能说亏本,却也没赚多少。 只好再想办法。 这次准备算计的对象换成了阎锡山。 阎老西又回来了。 其实这个著名的铁算盘从来就没有真正离开过。当初,中原大战失败下野时,他可怜巴巴地说自己准备“出洋考察”,趁大家一不留神,却跑到大连躲了起来。 老阎那多精明的一个人。真的出了国,我还能回得来吗? 人在大连,山西的一举一动却仍然在他掌握之中,而山西军政当局也对他唯命是从,所以东北军不管怎么努力,始终都无法对山西进行渗透。 过了大半年,觉得风头过了,老阎又偷偷地坐上飞机,回到了山西老家。 按老阎的说法,他是思念故乡,特地回来“隐居”的:你们都不要来看我,让我一个人静一静。 其实这就是一个信号,隐含的意思就是,你们都来看我吧,让我给你们说一说。 山西军政巨头徐永昌、杨爱源立刻前来拜见,这一下等于广而告知,从山西到华北乃至全国,都知道老西回来了。 老阎的这一手确实很高明。到这一步,你们杀也不能杀我,赶也不能赶我,我就赖在这里了。 老蒋知道后立刻就急了,不是说好要“出洋”的吗,怎么还耍上赖皮了?马上致电徐永昌,让后者催老阎出国。接着,老蒋、张学良又双双派出代表,去做老冯(此时也在太原)、老阎的工作。 甭管你们用什么手段,硬的也好,软的也罢,二老不为所动,哪儿也不去,更别说出国了。 “九.一八事变”的爆发加快了老阎复出的步伐。 在当年的国民党四大上,老蒋当众做了检讨。作为“痛改前非”的表态之一,便是与以前的“反对派”重归于好,老冯、老阎又重获政治生命,不仅取消了对他们的通缉令,还成了响当当的中央委员。 这回老阎变乖了,他自己搞了一个“中的哲学”,认为以前之所以倒霉都是不够“中庸”所致。 本来好端端的,去惹人家老蒋干什么,弄得自己惨不忍睹。 明摆着,老阎这是真的服软了,对老蒋。 对舆论,他顺应潮流,赶了一回抗日的时髦,向中央积极献计献策,要求政府拨出10万劲旅死守锦州。 至于10万劲旅怎么个拨法,那可不是他的事。你们只要知道我老阎是个积极要求抗战的好人就行了。 如他本人所愿,老阎的声誉立刻焕然一新。 可是,最关键的那个人——老蒋依然不表态。 看来还是自己诚心不够,那来更猛的。 老阎使尽吃奶的力气,拿出了一份东西,这就是有名的“山西省政十年建设计划”。 要说这份草案还真算得上是老阎呕心沥血之作,它的主旨就是要“一心一意谋发展,聚精会神搞建设”,把山西建成抗战的前沿基地。 我再也不跟你调皮了,就给你当小弟,在前面替你老人家出力流汗,挡着日本人,这总可以了吧(“锡山治全国而不足,治两省而有余”)。 老阎认为,他心诚到如此地步,老蒋看了一定会感动得流泪的。 可是偷眼一看老蒋那样子,老阎顿时心凉了半截。 这位看上去仍然一副无动于衷的表情。 老蒋心里门儿清。以前每次华北这边反蒋,后面都有这个阎老西在后面捣鬼。趁着这次中原大战的机会,好不容易才把他赶了下去,怎么能再做放虎归山的事呢。 老蒋始终不松口,老阎再也按捺不住了。 嘴一撇,太原那边心领神会。 学生上街搞抗日示威游行,国民党山西省党部开了枪,杨爱源马上以此为由,封闭了国民党党部,连负责人也被抓了起来。 老蒋得知消息,连忙找山西省政府主席徐永昌谈话。 徐永昌摊开手,说自己毫无办法,因为山西境内没人听他的。 那他们都听谁的? 当然是听阎锡山阎先生的了。 我徐永昌办不好这些事,只有阎锡山能办好(“在我办,是事倍功不到半,阎先生办,是事半功不止倍”)。 据说徐永昌还曾经推心置腹地跟老蒋摊过牌。 中原大战后山西政治经济一落千丈,大家都怨声载道(“军政与人民均不堪其苦”),说明阎锡山当家还是有一套的,他不出山,山西没准得玩儿完。 知道中原大战蒋阎有积怨,又干脆把话给挑明了。 阎锡山最大限度不过是你的政敌,而政敌是可以合作的(估计老蒋对这一点也是深表赞同,搞政治的,没有永远的敌人,也没有永远的朋友嘛)。 接着辟谣。 人都说老阎抠,其实抠来抠去,也没往自己兜里抠,都花到“公家”上去了,这说明什么,说明他是一个最称职的公务员! 最后一点,徐永昌说得很不客气,却也可能最能打动老蒋:“你不但有与阎先生合作的必要,将来他还会有帮你的时候。” 徐永昌靠嘴,其他人就靠行动。老蒋的脸色一缓和,山西省党部那个负责人立马就被放了。 既不跟我争(权),又说要帮我(忙),老蒋终于被说动了。正好那时候“一.二八”淞沪会战已经进入庙行大战的阶段,山西这里确实也不容再有闪失,老蒋一伸手,就把老阎捞了上来。 民国二十一年(1932年)2月20日,阎锡山被委任为太原绥靖公署主任,重新爬上了山西土皇帝的宝座。 等到阎锡山位置坐稳当,又轮到老蒋犯愁了。 虽然老阎看上去已无多少再次造反的胆量,但你也别想轻易摸到他的窝里面去。 山西不通车(路轨跟全国其他地方不同),不配合,不鸟你,像个剌猬一样,让你无处下嘴。 萧振瀛给老蒋带来了开心药丸。 他第三次拜见老蒋。一见面,也不再说什么西北军、29军了,口口声声都是“咱们的部队”。 有“咱们的部队”在山西,准帮您看好那个不安分的阎老西。 萧振瀛还表示,29军有意找机会北上,开进晋东的阳泉,对西北军的“世仇”阎锡山负起监视的任务。 这帖药正治老蒋的心病,立刻转忧为喜。 既然笑了,下面这个口就比较好开了。 29军恨阎入骨,非常愿意为您效忠,不过他们现在遇到了点小困难,缺乏经费。 这个容易。 老蒋当即刷刷两笔,拨特别费每月30万,并承诺追加每月军饷。 这趟回来,萧振瀛一次就先带回了两个月的特别费:60万(一说为50万)! 随银子在一起的还有清单,就像现在的工资单一样,给你详细标明每月增加的各种军饷收入,对此,那些苦惯了的西北兄弟都觉得非常稀奇,他们这才知道,原来当兵是可以拿这么多工资的,而且可以拿全。 原先在老西北军的时候,基本就只能管个饱饭,每月只能发几块钱“鞋袜费”,就连这也从来没有发全过。 经过萧振瀛的上下打点,这支寄人篱下的部队也开始过上了像模像样的生活。 可是,好日子总是不能长久,没过多长时间,有人来赶他们了。 那个不招人待见的老阎摆起一副臭脸,对29军下了逐客令。 当然,他如果公开这么做,还是有些难度的。因为早先徐永昌临时当家的时候,这人还算是厚道,出于当年同室操戈之谊,已经答应29军可以驻留了。现在反悔,感觉上会很没面子。 不过这个难不倒老阎。他别的没有,鬼点子倒多的是,其中一个就叫做借刀杀人。 很快29军就接到老蒋发来的电报,说是要把部队调到江西战场上去。 接到电报,29军高层都炸了窝。 江西那是个大火坑啊。对地方部队来说,跟发配充军没什么两样。 当初19路军在参加淞沪战役前,就是这么被不情不愿地调到江西去的,除了损兵折将,什么好处也没捞到。要不是运气好,被调回京师,又正好赶上跟日本人作战,没准就要弄得“尔曹身与名俱灭”了。 共产党的部队(红军)战力了得,能征善战,在那个时候就是人尽皆知的事。跟红军作战,除了中央军属于职分所在,没有办法,几乎再没人愿意干这种吃力不讨好的苦差事了。 可是不愿意归不愿意,中央来的电令,看上去谁也没辙。 编制给你,饷银给你,你说不去打仗,难道想反叛不成? 但是29军有一个萧振瀛,他似乎什么时候都有办法。 中央为什么会在这个时候想起来要把我们从山西调走? 不用问,肯定是阎老西出的馊主意。 你让我们走,我们偏不走。 萧振瀛不找中央,不找老蒋,他去找东北军。 做这种事,得有帮手。萧振瀛的帮手,就是秦德纯。 秦德纯四处放风,说老阎回太原后要坐大了,根本不把东北军放在眼里,而且他还记着当年中原大战时东北军从背后捅他的一箭之仇,一个不留神,没准他会如法炮制,从背后反过来也捅你们一下。 少帅本来对老阎回到太原就心存疑虑,这一下更是又惊又怕。 这时候萧振瀛就找上门来,并且毛遂自荐,说29军愿意进驻晋东的榆次和阳泉,以扼制太原咽喉,如此,“阎之行动可予控制矣”。 有人肯帮我们挡子弹,这种好事谁不愿意。 少帅马上点了头:那就把你们调过去吧。 这边老阎为了“恭送”29军出晋,专门派了代表过来,指定线路,沿途还安排各县进行接待,什么大鱼大肉,甚至毛巾香皂应有尽有,就准备打发这帮人尽快离开,越早越好,越远越爽。 当着太原代表的面,萧振瀛对29军官兵讲话,让他们吃了喝了拿了以后,千万不能忘记“阎司令”的恩情,就是走到天涯海角“亦不能淡忘其意”。 太原代表很满意,走了。 第二天,29军忽然杀了一个回马枪。张自忠进驻阳泉,赵登禹占领榆次,冯治安、刘汝明则在附近遥相呼应。 此时,老阎却还坐在家里想美事呢,听到消息,腾地一下就从椅子上跳了起来。 让他们滚蛋,怎么还离我更近了? ! 一打听,明白了,真所谓强中更有强中手,着了一个叫萧振瀛的小子的道了。 转弯抹角不行,只能直来直去了。 老阎派人找到萧振瀛,明白着告诉他,这是山西的地界,其他部队不准任意驻扎。 萧振瀛的回答是:山西是我们中国的领土,我们是中国的部队,所以愿意驻哪里就可以驻哪里。 听上去正气昂然,其实也蛮有点耍赖的味道在里面。 中国地方这么大,哪里不好去,你们怎么就愿意驻我们这地儿。 可是在下无寸土、上无片瓦的情况下,不耍赖皮,还能有什么其他更好的应对办法? 老阎自以为脸皮已经很厚了,没想到有人比他还要强,一时也被堵得说不出话来。 他急忙给张学良打报告,可人家愣没答理他,这才知道29军的行动,竟然就是张学良默许的。 再到老蒋那里告御状,老蒋却再也不提让29军南下的事了。原因是萧振瀛已经提前给老蒋送去了“独家解释”,说是29军如果留驻不走,可以起到稳定华北、牵制晋奉的作用。 多贴心的一个解释啊,老蒋没有理由反对,再看张学良本人也没有要调29军南下的意思,也就作罢了。 留驻晋东,为29军后来走上成功之路创造了条件。倘若当初他们被调往江西,就完全可能是另外一种命运。 在晋东的那些日子里,29军的日子仍然过得很苦。如果换其他部队,也许早就撂挑子不干了。 可是,宋哲元和他的弟兄们必须坚持。 衣服破了,再凑合着缝一缝,鞋子烂了,索性扔掉,咱光脚的不怕他穿鞋的,枪支旧了,那就当烧火棍继续在肩上扛着走。 反正已沦为宅男,哪儿也去不了,不用怕在外面丢脸。 这时候,还是缺不了那句提精神的老俗话。 天将降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身…… 对于地方上真正有实力的同志们来说,“大任”是一定会来的,而且也不用等得太久。 这个“大任”就是抗战。 “九.一八”事变后,29军发出通电,请缨抗日。在电文中,萧振瀛特地加了一句:宁为战死鬼,不做亡国奴! 29军晋东练兵,从头至尾都以“枪口对外不对内”为口号,其假想敌只有一个,那就是日军。 日人侵华,用现在的流行语来说,可谓双刃剑,既标志着民族危机的到来,同时也意味着军人崭露头角的机遇接踵而至。 不过机遇不是每个人都能抓住的,它需要实力。 让我们认真准备吧。 先从吃饭开始。 吃饭前,大家先唱个《吃饭歌》,受点教育。 小时候我吃饭时在桌上掉了个米粒,便会条件反射地想到课堂上老师说的:我们碗里的每一颗米粒,都是农民伯伯辛苦种出来的,绝不能浪费。 为了不浪费,我捡起来,把它吃掉。 这个道理,29军也要讲。不过他们更进一步,要官兵吃完米粒,记住向农民伯伯报恩——打屠杀和侵略他们的日本鬼子(“日本军阀,国民之敌”)。 很深刻,也很形象。 吃完饭,要开早会,官兵必须高声问答。 还记得中“钢七连”点名时的那个经典经面吗?形式上差不多。 列兵许三多。 arrive! 东三省是谁的? 是我们中国的! 可它现在被日本占去了,你不恨吗? 我十分痛恨。 那怎么办呢? struggle!struggle!struggle! 怎么样,很励志吧。这是教一般士兵的,至于军官,他们层次还得高点。 29军军官的必读书,说起来吓你一跳。 “四书五经”里面的“四书”。 他们另外又编了一本《义勇小史》,里面讲的都是岳飞、韩世忠、文天祥、史可法这些人的事,也是必读书。 看起来,“四书”跟这本通俗小书一高一低,似乎风马牛不相及,其实在宋哲元他们看来,都是一码事。 读“四书”,不是为了上京赶考,而是要从中读出忠义二字:忠于朋友,忠于国家,然后可以救国救民。 你还不要说他们陈腐,都
