Chapter 158: Old Xi Yan bowed his head

After the military parade, Liu Yimin asked Wu Zheng to give each soldier 2 silver dollars, allowing cadres and soldiers to rest for a few days in Xi'an. They would cut their hair, take a bath, listen to Qin Opera, and taste the famous food in Xi'an.

In accordance with Liu Yimin's request, the Legion Art Troupe redirected day and night, and took turns to the divisions and troupes to perform condolences to activate the lives of the soldiers.

The reporters from the Legion Radio and the Battle Flag News were all dispatched to interview the troops and reported the heroes' deeds. Because there were few reporters, most of the cadres from the Political Department of each division took the initiative and wrote for the radio and the Battle Flag News.

The radio station has news and special programs for each division and regiment every day, and the Battle Flag Newspaper reports on technical competitions, military parades and meritorious soldiers' deeds.

The newspapers also heard the news and competed to contact the Legion Political Department, demanding permission to go to various troops to interview and report. There was no way, the people of Xi'an paid much attention to this army that brought peace and happiness to them, far exceeding the newspaper office.

The radio bosses’ imaginations were that if they didn’t want to interview and report to the Red Seventh Army, the newspaper wouldn’t be sold.

The Fourth Independent Division and the Special Forces Brigade did not catch up with Liu Yimin's wedding, and the cadres and soldiers were very sorry. On April 22, the night after the military parade, Liu Yimin asked the soldiers of these two troops to add wine and food to the regiment.

The above cadres invited to the restaurant of the Legion headquarters, set up a few tables, and led Tang Xingying to toast them.

After marriage, Tang Xingying lost the charm of being a girl and the charm of a young woman. When wearing spring casual clothes, she was like a blooming lotus, fresh and beautiful. The eyes of those old comrades who looked at her were all

It's straight, even calling Xiao Tang and the Legion Commander are really a perfect match, so they naturally become much more generous when drinking.

However, this time Liu Yimin learned the essence and drank less by himself. He wanted to persuade Chen Dayong and others to drink. Of course, Tang Xingying understood it. The couple united and made these old comrades dizzy.

It's almost May, and the various units of the Red Seventh Army have also been launched back to the defense site.

The Cavalry Division arrived in Yulin to garrison and also the Yulin Guard Area. Only the Guard Regiment, Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, Engineer Regiment, Bailout Regiment and newly established Artillery Division were left in Xi'an.

The cadres also made minor adjustments. Wei Xiufeng, the commander of the heavy machine gun regiment, was appointed as the political commissar of Xi'an Garrison, Li Yi, the political commissar of the heavy machine gun regiment, was appointed as the director of the political department of Xi'an Garrison. Wang Runqing was appointed as the commander of the heavy machine gun regiment, and Li Zongrui, the deputy commander of the guard regiment, was transferred to the heavy machine gun regiment.

Political commissar and deputy political commissar of the Guard Regiment, Lu Maotian was promoted to political commissar of the Guard Regiment. Li Chengyi, the battalion commander of the First Guard Battalion, was promoted to deputy commander of the Guard Regiment, and was still the commander of the first battalion.

As for the directors of the Political Department of the independent divisions and cavalry divisions, they are not qualified for the time being, because if several old regiment commanders are promoted, it will be unfavorable to the development of the troops, so they have to wait a little longer.

Before the Cavalry Division left, Liu Yimin called Hu Laohu and Bao Wen together and told them three things. First, after arriving in Yulin, he would always pay attention to the movements of the Mongolian princes in the north, and could secretly contact the Mongolian princes in Ordos and insist on resisting Japan.

, the Mongolian upper class who insists on national unity should help as much as possible, and do not be polite to Mongolian princes who are hooking up with the Japanese, and should be hidden in their methods. If they cannot be dealt with, report to the legion, and the legion headquarters will send a special combat brigade to deal with it. As for the Japanese

The Japanese spies sent to Inner Mongolia who were planning to split will kill one by one, and they will do it quietly before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance. In short, the secret agencies of the Japanese devils who were about to kill are frightened. The second is to train troops, raise horses, and expand the army.

According to the original requirements, you can set up a horse farm for horse farming or you can think of buying some. The principle is to equip each division with a cavalry battalion and each regiment with a cavalry company. Each infantry squad must have a war horse.

Come and carry ammunition and supplies to improve the mobility of the troops. Expanding the army means expanding the cavalry division into at least three regiments, the more the better. The third is to carry out settlement and development to protect commercial roads. Cultivation is issued according to the last time

To do, plant trees and grass, protect the ecological environment, and open up and protect the trade routes to open up commercial trade channels between Mongolia and the base areas, so that materials can be circulated and communicate with each other.

After seeing off the troops, Liu Yimin immediately started to deal with two major issues: one was to ask Yan Xishan to compensate, and the other was to pay the ransom and dismiss the Ma family officers and other Ma family army officers paid the ransom.

The previous period was busy getting married and military parade, and I didn’t care about Yan Xishan and Ma Hongkui. Now that I was free, I had to talk to these two people. There was no way, the base area was too poor, and after the military disaster in Shaanxi a few years,

The drought is not an exaggeration. Although it is a waste of money and food, it is not easy to get over it. However, relying on Shaanxi to support such a large-scale army is not enough. Besides, Liu Yimin is determined to develop the base economy.

Do you also need to run a school or a hospital?

After returning to Xi'an, Liu Yimin once wrote a letter to Yan Xishan. He originally expected that Yan Xishan would immediately report it after receiving the letter, and at least sent someone to talk. As a result, so many days have passed since the agreed 20th, Yan Xishan's

There has been no movement on the side. Liu Yimin couldn't sit still. He Jian and Bai Chongxi could take it. Xue Yue also gave up everything at that time and bowed his head to redeem the people. Is Yan Xishan's head so hard to shave? No, Liu Yimin's sign cannot be smashed.

Yan Xishan must let him bleed.

Liu Yimin wrote a letter to Yan Xishan again, but this letter was very short, with only one sentence on it: "We will go to Shanxi Bank to handle the funds transfer procedures on time on May 10th." The signature is still Liu Yimin, the commander of the Red Seventh Army.

After writing the letter, Liu Yimin thought about it and felt that the letter was too slow, so he asked Qian Zhuangfei to shoot Yan Xishan directly with a clear telegram. Anyway, Liu Yimin was not afraid that the people of the whole country would know that Yan Xishan attacked the base area first, and he was responsible for the loss. He asked him to compensate for the losses.

So it should.

This will stop Yan Xishan.

Since the army withdrew to Shanxi, Yan Xishan has lived in regret. The reason is that Chiang Kai-shek was unable to fulfill his promise to let Yan Xishan become the president. Wang Jingwei's status within the Kuomintang is known to everyone in the whole country. If Chiang Kai-shek wins, there is still something else.

With the excuse, it is naturally impossible for him to take down the Executive Director of Wang Jingwei, who was suffering from the loss of troops and generals. Helplessly, Chiang Kai-shek had to apologize.

Yan Xishan didn't get any benefits now, and he became famous for fighting a civil war, which in vainly offended Liu Yimin, a difficult opponent.

Yan Xishan regretted that. If he had known that Chiang Kai-shek had used him for nothing, how could he send troops to Shaanxi? The 100,000 army did not even see the city walls of Xi'an, so he retreated in a hurry. The red bandits along the way set up a strong wall to clear the fields, making the army full of everything.

Not captured, many soldiers died in vain and wasted a lot of supplies.

This Chiang Kai-shek is really a fucking fault. He was a Shanghai client, so he picked up his pants and refused to admit his account. Since you are not able to take down the Executive Director of Wang Jingwei, why are you bullying me? Now, you are not a person everywhere. When you go out, you have an old face.

They are all hot and embarrassing!

Yan Xishan had already received the first letter from Liu Yimin to Yan Xishan and had also talked with his confidants. However, most people thought that Liu Yimin was a false intimidation and ignored him.

Yan Xishan personally also thinks that Liu Yimin is naive and innocent, and he actually goes to the door to blackmail with this method. I have been in charge of Shanxi for so many years. Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin, Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, I have never seen any powerful figures, how can I be afraid of you

A stinky brat who is still not dry? If you have the ability, you can come to Shanxi to try it? I think you can only stand by the Yellow River and jump and curse. Your majesty and power are as powerful as the turbid Yellow River water, and it will pass by in the past.

To take a step back, Liu Yimin is indeed powerful and has excellent methods. But the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are currently negotiating. Once the agreement is reached, the Red Army will be included in the national army. I don’t believe that Liu Yimin dares to attack Shanxi!

Besides, Liu Yimin not only blew up the Tongpu Railway last time, but also looted the Pingyao Branch of Shanxi Bank and got away so much money. Even the county magistrate, police chief, security chief, finance chief, and tax chief were shot dead by him.

Many people want to seek revenge on him, but he still dares to be so arrogant, just because he is not aware of his life or death.

After thinking about it, Yan Xishan decided to deal with Liu Yimin's letter and ignore him to see what he could do.

After seeing the deadline that Liu Yimin said on April 20, Liu Yimin had not made any noise. Yan Xishan thought the matter was over, so he stopped paying attention. Who knew that just a few days have passed, Liu Yimin actually used a clear telegram

In the form of telling himself that he will come to Shanxi Bank to handle the funds handover procedures on April 10th.

What an arrogant brat, he dared to come to the door to blackmail!

Yan Xishan, who was furious, had no sense of being ashamed of the past, and had a smile on his face. He wandered around the room, and from time to time he would smash some porcelain, chairs, and kick them down. The room was crackling.

, the people around him were so scared that they were trembling.

After all, Yan Xishan is Yan Xishan and has already cultivated into a spirit. After anger, he still thought calmly. It seems that Liu Yimin was confused by his troops from Shaanxi. He insisted on getting some compensation from him, not completely.

I am afraid that I will not give up until I achieve my goal. It is only because I was deceived by Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Qun, and I am plagued by ghosts! At present, I may have to deal with this matter seriously, otherwise, I may be in trouble.

of!

Yan Xishan called backbone of the two teams of Shanxi civil and military, and discussed for a whole afternoon, but did not say that he was ugly.

During the meal, Yan Xishan took a few more bites, and his stomach hurt so much. He took some medicine and rested on the recliner, asking his secretary to read newspapers and news for him.

As he was reciting, a message that the Seventh Red Bandit Army held a military parade in Xi'an and showed off his strength attracted him. Yan Xishan immediately asked his secretary to collect all the information about the Seventh Red Bandit Army's military parade in Xi'an and report it to him in detail.

This is not a big deal about Yan Xishan. After all, the news was still blocked in that era. Several days have passed since the Red Seventh Army parade, and it has been no longer news. However, since the Red Army occupied Shaanxi, the Kuomintang army has blocked the surrounding area, so can the Shaanxi newspapers be published?

When you go out, the newspapers outside cannot be transmitted. The army station Xi'an People's Radio Station has low power and cannot be stopped in other places. The only channel to send out newsletters through communication stations or military stations. After a while,

News became old news. In addition, Liu Yimin did not deliberately arrange to publicize it to the outside world, so the outside world rarely knows about the military parade of the Red Seventh Army.

Not long after, the secretary sorted out the information about the military parade of the Red Seventh Army collected through the radio. Yan Xishan looked at it carefully one by one. The more he looked, the more he became more frightened, and the more he looked, the more he became the more he was. What was frightened was that he could not have imagined that Liu Yimin

This is so great that the Seventh Army is so powerful. Fortunately, I am lucky to see the opportunity and withdraw my troops early. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say more about this 100,000 army that could come back. At that time, Liu Yimin must have spoken out loud and let

Pay your own money to redeem people.

Yan Xishan, who was thinking while watching, suddenly realized that Liu Yimin might have planned to leave his 100,000 troops and ammunition and supplies in Shaanxi. Because he saw the opportunity quickly, he failed. So, this guy was so angry that he was so angry.

Then I thought about blackmailing myself and making up for the losses.

If this is the case, this matter will be troublesome. This guy must be staring at Shanxi like a vicious wolf, and he may pounce on him and take a bite at any time.

It seems that Liu Yimin is not simple. He has the strength and ability to seek bad luck from him, and is not a bad guy who just talks big.

Thinking about it again, when Liu Yimin held a press conference, he said that He Jian, Bai Chongxi, and Xue Yue had bowed to him, but he did not see these people come forward to clarify. It was probably the fact. Maybe these people bowed their heads and paid the money.

!If that were the case, it wouldn’t be embarrassing to give him some money!

But this guy wants too much, as Shanxi is a treasury!

At this time, Yan Xishan didn't feel stomachache anymore, so he took out Liu Yimin's first letter and studied it carefully again.

This time, Yan Xishan looked at it very seriously and read out four meanings: First, Liu Yimin wants to do business with Shanxi. Second, Liu Yimin wants to develop Shaanxi and needs Shanxi's support and assistance. Third, Liu Yimin attaches great importance to himself.

I am very sure of my approach to developing people's livelihood in Shanxi. Fourth, I have to give these 20 million materials, and if I don't give them, I will be in big trouble.

However, Liu Yimin actually said that with the wisdom of Shanxi merchants, he could soon earn back the 20 million yuan from Shaanxi. This is a talent. In China, people who can see business so thoroughly and are so sure of Shanxi merchants?

Many! Why did this guy become a Red Army? If he had someone like this under his command, how could he save much effort!

It seems that a capable cadre must be sent to Xi'an to meet Liu Yimin and talk to him. If he really wants to develop Shaanxi, he needs some funds and equipment. Isn't it impossible to support him? The problem is that he can't just do it at any time.

Blackmail me. Besides, you can’t even ask for that much. 20 million is what a big number. Even if I want to give it, can I afford it?

Yan Xishan, who had figured it out, asked the secretary to send someone to invite Mr. Chen Jingtang to see him immediately and discuss important matters.

Chen Jingtang's courtesy name is Zhizhuang, and is from Qixian County, Shanxi. He is 62 years old this year. He is the director of the Shanxi Village Affairs Office and the acting chairman of the board of directors of the Shanxi Business Commune. He is one of Yan Xishan's main assistants to implement the six governments and three affairs. He is upright and has a deep impression of Yan Xishan.

trust.

After Chen Jingtang arrived, Yan Xishan asked him to sit down and asked about his physical condition and family condition. Yan Xishan asked him to read Liu Yimin's letter and the clear telegram he received today.

After watching it, Chen Jingtang remained silent.

Yan Xishan asked him to have a comment, but Chen Jingtang said for a while: "We should not send troops to Shaanxi. We should not be worth the loss in politics, military and economic terms."

Yan Xishan had already regretted his intestines and did not want to talk about this issue anymore. He said directly that he wanted to ask Brother Zhizhuang to go to Xi'an, meet Liu Yimin, and talk to him.

Chen Jingtang asked for negotiation strategy. Yan Xishan pondered for a moment and said, "There are three key points, one is that there must be no infringement on Shanxi in military terms. In this regard, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are negotiating. If the agreement is reached, they will probably abide by the agreement. However, he is needed.

Making a guarantee that small troops must not be sent to Shanxi for hidden damage. Second, economically, Shanxi can secretly help Shaanxi develop, but it must be fair transactions and normal business. Third, the compensation required is too high, so we cannot afford it
