Section 2 Reorganizing the Sichuan Army (5)

Zhuang Jihua was very frustrated and irritable. Time was already tight, but only half of what he had to do, but there were still people who were entangled and wasted his time.

"Cultural Revolution, don't be excited, sit down," Liu Xiang stood up and pulled Zhuang Jihua back to his seat, and then poured him a cup of tea himself: "I asked a question back then, what should you do if someone asked you to deal with us? Your answer was that no one would deal with us, but now it is not as good as before. Your brother holds heavy troops. If this happens again, will you do this?"

"There is no such thing. You are suspicious," Zhuang Jihua said flatly: "No now, and there will be no future."

Before Liu Xiang and the others could speak, Zhuang Jihua changed his tone: "Since everyone has put the problem on the table, I have a few questions to ask you. Recently, disputes related to rent and interest reduction incidents have frequently occurred in various places. I would like to ask if there is any force behind this to support it."

The room became quiet again, and no one answered this question. Zhuang Jihua and the others had already experienced the cleverness of it. Instead of telling lies, they should pretend not to hear them.

"There are various excuses to delay; reduce rent and interest rates, and secretly resist; the reserve service is better, and it can be used barely; everyone, the war is not far from us, what can we use to fight a war? Can we win this war with just enthusiasm?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

The room was still quiet, and Zhuang Jihua's anger was still not smooth. His voice roared inside the room, and the words he spoke were spicy and pissing, which made everyone in the room lower their heads.

When Mei Yuntian saw that this was not possible, he quickly stopped Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution, sit down first. Generals are really in trouble. Don't you often say that you think from the perspective of others, think from their standpoint."

Then he said to Liu Xiang and others: "Duke Fu, General Kang of Jin, generals, I understand him. If he hadn't been really anxious, he wouldn't have been so ruthless. Please understand."

Liu Xiang looked around and smiled awkwardly. The smile was similar to crying. The whole Sichuan heroes were scolded and mocked by Zhuang Jihua, but no one dared to start a move. At most, they wanted to refute a few words. But no one had the eloquence of Zhuang Jihua, so they simply didn't say anything.

However, the failure of these superiors does not mean that the staff below do not speak. Fu Chang has long been unable to suppress the popularity, but Liu Xiang did not move, so he did not come out. Now he saw clearly that Liu Xiang could no longer express anything, so he decided to stand up and save face for the heroes in Sichuan.

"Mr. Mei. It seems that General Zhuang will be angry here next time if he gets angry. Is this a senior meeting in Sichuan? Or is General Zhuang venting his breath?" Fu Chang asked coldly.

Mei Yuntian was slightly stunned: "Brother Zhenwu. How do you say this?"

"As soon as General Zhuang arrived here, he pointed at this and accused that, as if he was a perfect person. He was suppressing people with a big hat of anti-Japanese war. It seemed that we did not support him, but he was not fighting against Japan. It seemed that he was the representative of anti-Japanese war. It seemed that we were not fighting against Japan." Fu Chang's face turned red and his chest kept rising and falling.

Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "You can't just look at people..."

Mei Yuntian reached out to stop him from speaking. He turned to Fu Chang and said, "I thought the Cultural Revolution was qualified to do this. Besides, Brother Zhenwu was not fighting against Japan. It depends on actions. You can't just say that you don't practice. Just talk about reorganizing the army. As far as I know, the Cultural Revolution fulfilled its promise; rent reduction and interest rate reduction were originally promised, but the result. You may think that this matter has no direct relationship with the Anti-Japanese War. But in fact, it has something to do with this relationship. I have said a lot before. I believe you already have some understanding. I don't need to repeat it."

"Now, why do I say that the Cultural Revolution is qualified to do this? He is back with him. Our purpose of returning to China is to fight against the war. The Cultural Revolution has an appointment with the Chairman. He is only for the outside but not the inside. So unless you force him into an urgent situation, he will not fight a civil war. Whether it is to suppress the Communist Party or reduce the vassal states." Mei Yuntian said seriously.

Fu Chang was slightly a little embarrassed. Not only did he and others were stunned. Zhuang Jihua actually had an appointment with Chiang Kai-shek and dared to clearly refuse to participate in the bandit suppression. This made them re-examine the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek.

Just as Fu Chang was about to speak, Liu Xiang raised his hand to stop him. He said to Mei Yuntian: "Shaoqing, the southwest development has invested huge amounts of funds. These funds are all obtained by you. You and the Cultural Revolution say that they were donated by overseas Chinese, but I heard a legend that the money was the property of the Cultural Revolution. Is this true?"

Zhuang Jihua was stunned. How did this news come out? Isn’t this to put him at the forefront? If Chiang Kai-shek thought it was his, he would put his face there.

This news was also the first time that Liu Xiang had publicly promoted it. Except for Deng Xihou, everyone else was a little stupid. They had a account in their minds as much as the Southwest development cost. If such a large amount of money was paid by individuals, it would be unimaginable.

"The rumors end with the wise man, Fu Gong." Zhuang Jihua said.

Mei Yuntian looked at Zhuang Jihua and stopped talking, and finally sighed and sat down. His actions were too obvious. Liu Xiang immediately understood that the rumor was true, which shocked him and felt relieved. He quickly positioned Zhuang Jihua between idealism and realism. With Mei Yun Tiandi just now, he could already determine Zhuang Jihua's fundamental purpose. In addition to him, there were Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, Liu Wenhui and others. Luo Zezhou, who had only thick lines, had not realized it yet.

"Shame, ashamed, the Cultural Revolution, what should we do next?" Liu Xiang's words were supported by Deng Xihou and Yang Sen.

Zhuang Jihua calmly sighed and said, "Now we have time. First, we are reorganizing the army, striving to reorganize 200,000 troops within half a year. Secondly, we are reducing rent and interest rates. Reducing rent and interest rates are measures to unite people's hearts. Anyone who attempts to destroy rent and interest rates will be severely punished; third, we are improving the reserve service and conducting a reservist recruitment drill to discover problems." "In the Cultural Revolution, it is said that you are an expert in training troops, and a guard can defeat Long Yun. It can be seen that your training is indeed worthy of being famous. I have a lazy idea," Yang Sen said, "I want to pull the troops back from Guizhou and take them to Chongqing to you for reorganization. By the way, I will learn two tricks."

Seeing Yang Sen’s honest look, Zhuang Jihua said after thinking for a moment: “Brother Zihui, if you are the truth, I am willing to do it for you. I promise not to plant one person in your army.”

"It doesn't matter whether you are at ease or not. You, Zhuang, can destroy your family and make your country. I, Yang Zihui, are not a softie. As you said, as long as the company is there, everything is there." Yang Sen said indifferently.

"Okay, since you, Yang Zihui, have such a heroic spirit, I can't hide it. In the Cultural Revolution, I'll give you a teacher. If it's not enough, add it, as long as you don't feel tired." Deng Xihou also became generous.

Then it was out of control. Li Jiayu Luo Zezhou wanted the entire army to drive, Tian Songyao and Liu Wenhui wanted to draw a main division, and Liu Xiang simply handed over the two divisions, including the model division, to Zhuang Jihua for retraining. They were not afraid that Zhuang Jihua would be tired.

"Everyone trusts me, I am very grateful," Zhuang Jihua finally stood up and said. He was deeply relieved now, and Liu Xiang and the others did not disappoint him: "I will make a promise here, and after Liu Xiang practiced, all the troops will be restored to their original system."

Liu Xiang waved his hand: "Cultural Revolution. A sword is given to heroes and a steel knife. Only in the hands of masters is a powerful weapon. Cultural Revolution, I mean, this group of troops form an army, with you as the commander-in-chief."

"Me?" Zhuang Jihua was so surprised. This was one-third of Sichuan's troops, so they really wanted to.

"Yes. I can trust you." Liu Xiang bit the word "you" very much. Zhuang Jihua certainly understood his meaning.

"I can trust you even in the Cultural Revolution." Deng Xihou stood up and walked up to him: "Today I don't tell lies or act like crazy; I can't trust others. You are the only one here."

"But." Zhuang Jihua was willing to accept it, but he looked at Yang Sen and Li Jiayu with some difficulty. The two men had the same military rank as him, but their qualifications were much deeper than him.

"Cultural Revolution, I think this is how it is," Liu Xiang saw Zhuang Jihua's concerns: "It is organized into two armies, Yang Zihui commands one army, you command one army, and then Brother Jin Kang has another army, each army of three armies, 120,000 to 130,000 people."

"Mr. Fu's good idea," Zhuang Jihua immediately reciprocates: "This commander-in-chief is of course Fu's responsibility. However, Mr. Fu, when the time comes, you can't go. You have to stay in Sichuan and take care of this stolen goods."

Before Liu Xiang could understand, Zhang Sike immediately stood up and said: "Yes, Mr. Fu stayed in Sichuan, kept the company and kept the logistics."

"In addition, each army needs to train a tutor, who is only responsible for training new recruits and does not have to go out at any time."

As soon as these words were said, the last doubts of Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou and others were also dispelled. The instructor kept the numbers of each army. With this instructor, no matter how much the front line suffered, the number would not be revoked. Zhuang Jihua's proposal was entirely for their own good. Then the various departments selected troops. Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, Luo Zezhou was the entire army without saying, while others explicitly stated that the main troops were drawn, but Zhuang Jihua had some trouble. He did not want Liu Wenhui's Chen Guangzao Division, but called Liu Yuantang Brigade and would rather expand the Liu Yuantang Brigade. He told Liu Wenhui that the Sichuan-Tibet Highway would likely cause a reaction from the ** side. His main troops should be prepared to advance by force, so their troops could not be transferred too much. This reason was reluctant to accept.

In the end, Deng Xihou's army drew two main divisions, Tian Songyao's army drew two main divisions, and Liu Xiang drew three main divisions including the Model Division in one tone, and each division is equipped with a large number of officers. The excess officers will leave in three months, and then the rest of the divisions will begin to be reorganized.

This is an ambitious plan. According to this plan, all Sichuan troops will be reorganized before the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, forming more than 350,000 elite troops with excellent equipment and rigorously trained.

The performance of Liu Xiang and others inspired Zhuang Jihua. In the next few days, he discussed the details with the Sichuan Army's troupe. He served as commander of the local army. The deputy commander stipulated that Sun Zhen, deputy commander of Tian Songyao, would be appointed, and the chief of staff would be Fu Chang, recommended by Liu Xiang.

The troops joined were Wang Mingzhang and Sun Zhen from Tian Songyao's troops who also served as the 124th Division of the Division Commander, Chen Dingxun's troops of Deng Xihou's troops, Liu Yuantang Brigade from Liu Wenhui's troops, Guo Xunqi's troops of Liu Xiang's troops, Chen Wanren's troops and Rao Guohua's troops.

Liu Xiang was foolish. These three divisions were drawn from his three armies, which did not cause much damage to the three armies. At the same time, he could also take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the next reorganization of the three armies.

Since Yang Sen's headquarters is now in northern Guizhou, the troops must be approved by Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua simply telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek the entire reorganization plan and steps. Chiang Kai-shek was deeply surprised after receiving the telegram. He did not expect that Zhuang Jihua turned around and got the matter of reorganizing the Sichuan Army. He also saw that Zhuang Jihua's position was to be determined and he must reorganize hundreds of thousands of troops before the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, which made him happy and worried. What was happy was that Sichuan was finally under the actual control of Zhuang Jihua. How to suppress Zhuang Jihua's fighting spirit? Before resolving the Communist Party, he did not want to go to war with Japan.

So he sent Lin Wei to Chengdu to explain his arrangements to Zhuang Jihua and Liu Xiang and Sichuan generals. Lin Wei told Zhuang Jihua that Chiang Kai-shek agreed to his reorganization plan, but warned him not to underestimate Liu Xiang or make a big spoil, while angering the Japanese. The central government's current strategy is to delay the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. However, Zhuang Jihua was more concerned about when Chiang Kai-shek would go to Xi'an.

"The Chairman is going to Xi'an. Last month, when Zhang Hanqing flew to Luoyang to celebrate the Chairman's birthday, he persuaded the Chairman to join forces to fight against Japan, but was rejected by the Chairman. I think Zhang Xueliang was very disappointed." Lin Wei said.

Zhuang Jihua thought silently and said, "Shang Sir Zhang's suggestions are good. I think we can start negotiations with the Communist Party of China first, which will be helpful for stabilizing the situation in the northwest."

Lin Wei knew what Zhuang Jihua said about help. Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army were actually in a state of ceasefire with the Communist Party in the northwest, which was basically an open secret. In addition, the dissatisfaction of the Northeast Army with the Nanjing government became stronger and stronger. After losing the Northeast, the treatment of the Northeast Army in all aspects dropped sharply. They had no interest in suppressing the Communist Party and were only eager to fight back to their hometown. If the Nanjing government negotiated with the Communist Party, it could resolve this dissatisfaction in the Northeast Army.

Lin Wei looked around and whispered: "Lifu is negotiating with the representatives of ** in Shanghai, but the gap between the two sides is too big, and there will be no result for the time being." He raised his voice slightly and said: "Hu Zongnan launched an attack in Ningnan, and he will soon be able to drive the representatives back to northern Shaanxi."

Zhuang Jihua thought for a moment and said, "Brother Weiwen, please tell Shoushan, don't be greedy for merit and make progress."

Zhuang Jihua just vaguely felt that Hu Zongnan's attack would not have any results, otherwise it would be difficult for the Communist Party of Shaanxi to survive this winter.

Lin Wei was obviously stunned. He didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua was not optimistic about Hu Zongnan's attack. When he thought about it, he immediately thought that this was the competition between the two students who had been promoted the fastest among Chiang Kai-shek's students. He smiled faintly and didn't take it to his heart.

But Zhuang Jihua's subsequent request stunned him.

"Brother Weiwen, the new provincial party director sent by Lifu is a guy who only knows how to be an official and can't do things. I want to change him, but Lifu didn't give a reply. Can you help me think of a way to get Lifu away this bastard?"
