Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 309 Aftermath

The incident of Wang Baoshan surrendering to the enemy, willing to sacrifice his life for the Japanese, and frantically helping the Japanese assassinate the army commander and director Mei Ting caused great fluctuations within the 29th Army. The young officers asked the army to

Department, thoroughly investigate the traitors hidden within the 29th Army.

Faced with the outcry, what followed was that Xiao Zhenying, the general counselor of the 29th Army and the representative of the central faction in the army, was pushed to the forefront, and the target of the attack was directed at this man who no one in the 29th Army could afford to offend.

character.

Because Wang Baoshan was his confidant who single-handedly promoted him to where he is today, and Wang Baoshan was a lackey of the Japanese, so I’m afraid General Counselor Xiao is also involved, right?

His past is so secretive that he doesn’t notice even a single clue. Who do you believe when he says it? Even if he is not a comrade, he is at least guilty of oversight. Although Wang Baoshan flatly denies any connection with General Counselor Xiao, he cannot escape the suspicion of collusion.

.

Only Wang Baoshan, who had been shot, and the General Councilor knew the inside story. Under such circumstances, if Xiao Zhen defeated General Councilor Xiao, would he still have a foothold in the 29th Army?

Mei Ting, who was recovering from her injuries, made a detailed written report to the Nanjing Military Command Bureau about the two assassinations of herself and Tang Qiuli. The tendency in the article was to allude to Xiao Zhenying's inevitable involvement in many places, and she was suspected to have been captured by the Japanese.

Bribery is Wang Baoshan's backstage.

Mei Ting's report attracted great attention from Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau. He did not dare to neglect and reported the situation to the old man. The old man was most taboo about the people around him, hiding it from himself, and hooking up with outsiders. There was a feeling of being

It feels like two hundred and fifty people.

With a transfer order, Xiao Zhenying quickly handed over the military affairs of the 29th Army and returned to Nanjing for investigation. The Commissioner of the Military Command Bureau was already on his way to Peiping to escort General Counselor Xiao back to Nanjing.

The words are high-sounding, and the surface is well done. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that in fact, he is afraid that Xiao Zhenying will escape halfway, so he is called an escort, but in reality he is escorting.

On the day the Commissioner of the Military Command Bureau arrived, he went to the hospital to visit Mei Ting, whose condition had improved greatly. Coincidentally, the Commissioner's surname was Gao, and he was Mei Ting's close friend in the Military Command. He brought a personal letter from Director Dai,

It also brought an order to promote Mei Ting to ** colonel.

For this high commissioner of military unification, Tang Qiuli did not dare to neglect and personally received him. Even if he was not a die-hard friend of Mei Ting, Tang Qiuli would have a headache based on his reputation alone. He must establish a good relationship with these people, that's right!

Although there are Liu Chengwan, Brother Liu and Yu Jizhou, two people who are well-fed in the Military Command Bureau, the commissioner cannot neglect it. Maybe there is another line. Tang Qiuli gave him the highest standard of treatment.

Mei Ting dragged her body, which was weak after the injury, to socialize with her, which made the high commissioner very happy. In front of Mei Ting, she insisted on marrying Tang Qiuli, and she said it was a high ranking, he was just a colonel.

And Tang Qiuli is a lieutenant general. In terms of status and power, the two are not on the same level.

But the High Commissioner's office was special. In today's terms, it was a powerful department. Tang Qiuli happily agreed. When he left, he and Tang Qiuli were already brothers. The High Commissioner said to Mei Ting with emotion,

You have arrived at a good place, and your commander is a rare person. Mei Ting is so discerning that her face turned red with embarrassment, but she felt sweet in her heart.

In mid-August of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the old man was buried under the eye of the 29th Army. He always sowed dissension and disintegration within the 29th Army, creating the source of the turmoil in the 29th Army.

Under the escort of Wang Baoshan, he sadly left the ancient city of Beiping and embarked on an unknown return journey.

Before leaving, Tang Qiuli gave Brother Gao a 50,000-yuan banknote. Of course, Brother Gao refused. Tang Qiuli's reason was that it was for his sister-in-law and children whom he had not met, and it was not for you. Gao

The commissioner accepted it with a smile.

I left a message to Tang Qiuli, brother, if you need anything when you get to Nanjing, say hello. If you need anything, ask big brother to do it. It can be done with just a phone call or a letter. After that, he pointed at Mei Ting and said, "Take care of my friend."

Well, if you are missing a hair, let me ask you a question!

By chance, the stumbling block of Xiao Zhenying was removed. Without him, under the banner of the Central Committee, he was fanning the flames and obstructing everything, making the big move that Tang Qiuli wanted to implement full of difficulties. Within the 29th Army,

, it is more united, and it is easier for Tang Qiuli to control the 29th Army. More importantly, there is one less pair of monitoring eyes.

Looking at the motorcade going away, Tang Qiuli said to Mei Ting sincerely: "Mei Ting, thank you!" Mei Ting smiled but did not answer, but there was a little bit of pride in her expression.

In fact, Mei Ting's report was Xiao Zhenying's fatal blow. If Tang Qiuli took advantage of the Wang Baoshan incident and used the emotions within the 29th Army to force Xiao Zhenying to resign, it would be feasible, but in

From the perspective of Nanjing, it is suspected of excluding dissidents and is a bit stiff.

Through Mei Ting's channel, the effect is different. This fire is burning just right. How can Tang Qiuli not thank Mei Ting? This girl is becoming more and more considerate.

A few days later, Qin Dechun, a veteran of the 29th Army and deputy commander, submitted his resignation to Tang Qiuli. To his surprise, he had no intention of touching the veteran. In his opinion, although Qin Dechun was capable

Normally, he was very kind-hearted and had no ambitions. Just by sharing the joys and sorrows with the old army commander, he was worthy of Tang Qiuli's respect.

You need to know what life the 29th Army lived before arriving in Pingjin. They were short of guns and ammunition, and they were almost like beggars. In that situation, Qin Dechun never left him, and tried his best to protect Song Zheyuan.

of prestige.

Now, he suddenly proposed to resign, which surprised Tang Qiuli. He had a long talk with Qin Dechun and understood the veteran's thoughts.

Although Qin Youliang, his nephew who he regarded as his own son, was still in the prison cell of the Inspection Office, he had not been criticized. Tang Qiuli only planned to expel him from the army. Unlike Battalion Commander Liu who had been shot, his nature was

different.

But Qin Dechun didn't think so. The reason why he put his nephew in the army was to give him a chance to achieve fame. However, his nephew failed to live up to expectations and was a helpless man. He got together with the battalion commander named Liu.

, causing the 258th Regiment to become a mess, and the soldiers were resentful and the officers were angry.

Moreover, Battalion Commander Liu was eating empty pay and drinking the blood of his soldiers. As a regimental commander, how could he escape from his involvement? It cannot be explained by an oversight.

What was even more taboo was that he was completely unaware of the major military situation that had occurred. His battalion commander wanted to shoot the soldiers who had performed meritorious service, but he turned a blind eye. As a soldier, this was a serious dereliction of duty, and it was also Commander Tang's worst mistake.

Something that is deeply abhorrent.

Commander Tang did not shoot Qin Youliang. In Qin Dechun's view, it saved him a lot of face. Rumors about Qin Youliang's affairs had spread within the 29th Army. It was nothing more than Qin Youliang using the power of his uncle.

, acted recklessly, and other officers dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out due to the deputy commander's power.

Qin Dechun is a dignified old soldier. He thought for a long time and felt that he no longer had much role in the 29th Army. With the departure of Brother Song, Qin Dechun had begun to intend to retire.

The Wang Baoshan incident touched him even more. It seemed that his precious nephew Zha was the same as Wang Baoshan, but he had no chance. The ending of Xiao Zhenying made him wake up even more.

The new army commander can't keep up with his ideas and drumbeats, and there is a precious nephew beside him who makes him worry. Let's just leave here. Sooner or later, the 29th Army will be the world of young people, and it can be regarded as a successful retirement.

Qin Dechun felt complicated. After a long talk with Tang Qiuli, he finally made up his mind to leave voluntarily. It was better than being eliminated. What's more, the matter with his nephew had already damaged his prestige within the 29th Army.

The reputation is not too bad, so leaving early is a wise choice.

Tang Qiuli had no other thoughts in his heart except respect for this old soldier who was very sensible and aware of current affairs. He could not let the old soldier who had fought and sweated for the 29th Army be like Xiao Zhen

Just like winning, leaving sadly, that would break the hearts of other officers of the 29th Army.

He held a grand farewell banquet for Qin Dechun at the Yanjing Hotel, inviting celebrities from Beijing and Tianjin, wealthy businessmen, and all members of the Hebei-Chacha Government Affairs Committee to attend.

The banquet was grand and a little solemn. After all, with the departure of Song Zheyuan, another veteran of the 29th Army left. One can imagine everyone's mood. The banquet was hosted by Tang Qiuli himself, and Qin Dechun said goodbye.

speech.

He briefly reviewed the turbulent history of the 29th Army over the years. His words were full of nostalgia, and his words were so emotional that he couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, after all, he was a figure who had been in the officialdom for many years. He changed the subject and praised Tang Qiuli greatly, calling him the most capable and far-sighted military commander he had ever seen besides Commander Song. He also predicted that the peace between Pingjin and Tianjin would be

The 29th Army, under the leadership of Commander Tang, will definitely have a greater future.

The words of this old soldier caused a burst of thunderous applause. However, neither he nor everyone present expected that less than a year later, the situation in China would undergo earth-shaking changes, and Japan would invade in full force.

The Chinese War first broke out in North China. Under the leadership of Tang Qiuli, the 29th Army embarked on a completely different path of resistance.

When Qin Dechun left, Tang Qiuli gave him 100,000 yuan as a settlement fee. He would not be stingy with those who had contributed to the 29th Army, and he released Qin Youliang from prison.

Let him accompany his uncle back to his hometown.

This was beyond Qin Dechun's expectation. His gratitude could not be concealed. What surprised him even more was that Tang Qiuli transferred a strengthened platoon from the 29th Army Guard Regiment to imitate the method of escorting Song Zheyuan and stayed there for a long time.

Be beside Qin Dechun as a personal bodyguard.

Qin Dechun was indescribably grateful for this kind of treatment, which also moved the officers of the 29th Army who were present to bid farewell to the deputy commander. Qin Dechun's present is their future. As long as he works well in the 29th Army, the commander will never forget it.

What you have given.

From then on, they took root in the 29th Army and linked their destiny to the army.

Tang Qiuli's move has achieved good results. Whether it is to win people's hearts or just to make a superficial statement, it is very effective anyway.
