Chapter 41: The right to release a soldier with a glass of wine
Gai Longquan naturally would not pick up the gun. Taking the gun was equivalent to rebellion. He glared at Liang Maocai fiercely and returned to his seat to smoke. When others saw King Gai stopping, they couldn't stop. They whispered to each other and felt that Chief Chen would not do anything to them.
After a whole day and night like this, at noon the next day, Chen Zikun finally appeared, looking a little tired, everyone silently waited for his help.
Chen Zikun slowly took off his white gloves and said, "Everyone is hungry, I'll invite you to drink, come and serve as a drink."
A team of orderly soldiers walked in, put a bowl on each person's table, carried four jars of wine in, opened the mud seal on the spot, and poured the bowl of each person with mellow white wine. Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what Chen Zikun sold in the gourd.
Chen Zikun said: "This wine is a bottle of Nantai. I bought it when I was the Jiangbei Guardian. It has been buried underground for more than 20 years. How about it? It's delicious."
Chen Shou shrugged his nose and said, "It's delicious, absolutely good wine."
Gai Longquan said: "Good wine."
Chen Zikun was passing by the ancient wine jar and immersed in the past: "Chen Shou, Lao Gai, you two are giant bandits across the river. Zeng Jiao’s name is not made by Jianglong. The brothers were all shot by real swords and guns. I still remember that year, we fought with the provincial army, and they were so trampled and fleeing, and seized many Gruson’s quick cannons..."
He told these past events in a casual manner, and the brothers all moved. Gai Longquan said: "Master..."
Chen Zikun stretched out his hand: "Don't say anything, drink."
After saying that, he picked up the sea bowl and tilted his neck and fucked it.
The commander had done it, so the brothers naturally followed suit and picked up the bowls and drank wildly.
After a bowl of wine, Chen Zikun then talked to everyone: "Brothers, some people say that our Jiangdong Army is a nest of bandits."
Chen Shou was furious: "Fuck, who said this? I'll go find him."
Chen Zikun said, "Don't be angry, sit down, this is true. The brothers are all from the Green Forest, and I am no exception. In the old forest in Northeast China, I, Chen Zikun, reported the number of two guns and fast legs, and was also a loud man. So, I got along with everyone. I originally thought that our brothers can fight and fight, and with military advisors like Yan Su and God of Wealth like Gong Zijun, it would be great to achieve a hegemony."
Everyone was immersed in their memories. During the glorious years and the spirit of the past, the general of the general of the country attacked the provincial capital at night and captured the governor alive. He was in his twenties and became the general of the Beiyang. His majesty, his majesty, and his future, who in the world can match his majesty.
"Oh..." Chen Zikun sighed, "It's a pity that luck makes people feel bad. I still don't have this luck. There are too many heroes in the world. If you help me, we can only occupy Jiangdong province. There is a fortune teller in Peking who is known as Hu Banxian. He is very accurate in fortune telling. He said that I will be a general in this life. He can do it very accurately, but I am content. It's worth it to have you brothers in distress in this life."
Chen Shou suddenly stood up, feeling excited: "Master, you're all in the wine."
He tilted his neck and he made the second bowl.
Everyone stood up together, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
Chen Zikun also fucked and wiped his mouth, "I heard from a philosopher that the duty of a soldier is not to compete for the world, but to protect his home. I think this is right. When the warlords were fighting and fighting, they were beaten up and down, and what ended up in the end? It wasn't just that they were a condo in Tianjin and Shanghai. So many generals dominate the world, and how many people could survive to this day."
Everyone nodded slowly. Over the years, they had basically been smooth sailing with Chen Zikun. The Grand Marshal has a wide connection and a clever wrist. He has friendships with all kinds of people. If he had changed to another Grand Marshal, he would have been a long time to stop. The Grand Marshal left the wilderness and his generals naturally scattered. Even if he surrendered to someone else, he would just eat leftovers. What's the big future?
Chen Zikun suddenly changed the subject and said, "Chen Shou, I'll ask you something."
"Master, please speak."
"What did you do when you were a bandit?"
Chen Shou thought for a while and said, "At first it was a kidnapping vote, but later he became famous and there was no need to take time to tie people up. He sent a message to the rich man's family and said how much money you pay for me, otherwise I would tie your son and the money would be sent."
Chen Zikun nodded: "You won't rob the family."
Chen Shou said: "There are also some who do that, not many of them, and the village is harmed, so the people move to the county town. There is no one in the countryside, and they can't find a rich man if they want to kidnap."
Chen Zikun asked Gai Longquan again: "Lao Gai, how did you do business?"
Gai Longquan said: "I'm setting up a checkpoint to kill the tiger's mouth and collecting money from passing merchants to buy the road."
Chen Zikun said: "Listen, bandits are all about it. First, they kidnap, and then they save even the procedures for kidnap. The methods of building a king are higher, they charge cards and ensure their safety. They are not the bandits. They are clearly the princes in the primary stage, and they are the government."
Gai Longquan smiled and said, "Who said that this is not the case? Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashen were not Xiangma at first, that's what he did."
Chen Zikun said: "Both, bandits know that they cherish the people and cannot fish out of the lake. They kill chickens and eggs, and do not keep chickens and dogs killed in the local area. If the people do not grow food, they will have no money, and bandits will have no business. It is better to raise the people than to rob the people."
Everyone nodded frequently, thinking that it made sense. The Grand Marshal was knowledgeable, and he could learn something with him.
Suddenly, Chen Zikun slapped the table: "You all know the truth when you were bandits. Why do you forget to go to Java now? Indulge your relatives and subordinates, do whatever you want, plunder the people's wealth, and use any means. You are digging your own graves. Now the two divisions of the Central Army are in the suburbs of the city. Chongqing has long wanted to take away Jiangdong. At this critical moment, you offend the people, just seeking death."
There is silence below.
Chen Zikun continued to roar: "No one stopped you from getting rich. Can you give me some money? When did I, Chen, have been stingy and what I lack? You won't look for me or have to steal the people. The Japanese have been plundering for eight years, and the people are in dire straits. I hope our Jiangdong Army will come back, but look at what you do, it is worse than the fucking Japanese."
The conference room was quiet, and the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Chen Zikun calmed down and began to teach him: "The ancients said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. No matter what you do, Jiangdong is taken back to the central government. I, Chen, can go to Nanjing to be an official, Shanghai, or the United States, but you, the Central Army does not want you, such a bunch of miscellaneous brands. It is not worth it to ruin your future for a little profit in front of you."
The officers present began to ponder with some foresight.
Chen Zikun said, "I was not idle yesterday and arrested all the goods suspected of plundering people's wealth. Basically, they are all relatives here. Don't worry, I won't shoot them. I will give you this power. You can do whatever you want."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the handsome man was still nostalgic.
"But I will give you my face. If you don't want it, don't blame me, Chen Zikun for turning against me, ruthlessly." Chen Zikun changed his tone and let everyone's heart fall into an ice hole. If you don't give a standard, how can you deal with this?
Chen Shou stood up and knelt down: "Master, I'm sorry for you. I didn't take care of my family. I'll set an example. Those who have a lawsuit in their hands will be punished and those who occupy their property will be returned twice. If you can't do it, please shoot me."
The officers all knelt down, talking nonsense, crying bitterly, and expressing their severe punishment for their families, one by one, and they all swear to ask the Grand Marshal to give themselves a chance.
Chen Zikun said: "No, no, I will never beat someone to death with one stick. You can deal with it by yourself. Before the processing is completed, everyone's position will be removed first. Whoever handles it first will be reinstated first."
Chen Zikun took two bowls of wine, and in one sentence, he removed almost all senior officers from military positions.
Everyone staggered away from the official residence, but Yan Su did not leave. In fact, his situation was the lightest. Only a distant nephew took over a factory under his banner, and he was almost certainly carrying Yan Su on his back.
"My Chief of Staff, I'm sorry to ask you to tie him up." Chen Zikun apologized to him with a smile.
Yan Su said: "Understand, understand, if you want to arrest them, you can arrest them all. There are no exceptions. However, if you remove all the positions of senior military officials, what if something happens?"
Chen Zikun said: "Do you think we can fight against the Central Army with our strength?"
Yan Su shook his head: "The difference is too big."
Chen Zikun said: "If the Central Army really wants to annex us, then we have no way out. Besides, how many of these old brothers are from military schools. They know how to cooperate with infantry and artillery and coordinate air-grounds, how to use howitzer clusters, range and load capacity of bombers, can they look at military maps, can they use compass and compass, and the level of our officer command remains in the Qing Dynasty."
Yan Su said: "But have you ever thought that officers who have received military academy education are not as loyal as these old subordinates."
Chen Zikun said: "The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated, and the coalition government is about to be established. Can Jiangdong maintain the ** kingdom for the rest of his life? While I still have absolute authority, I can suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals, and I have to do this quickly? This is my responsibility and my mission."
Yan Su said: "It seems that you have made up your decision. OK, I support you."
Chen Zikun said: "This is the general trend, and it cannot be changed by anyone's personal will. It is still too late to change blood. If it is a little later, I will leave a bad reputation in history."
Ruan Mingchuan walked over and held a document in his hand: "Old friend, you really plan to publish your personal property."
Chen Zikun said: "Yes, I was the first to publish my property, how many houses, how much deposits, and how many industries I have, so that the people know clearly. I will never be lenient in the money I should not take. I will not take any penny, nor will my family members take it. I asked Huaijiang Daily to publish this, just to take the lead and let the people supervise it."
Yan Su said: "Okay, I was the first to respond. My family only had a house and a deposit of 30,000 yuan, and there was nothing to hide."
