Chapter 55: Negotiation
Chapter 55 Separate 88th Brigade
Guo Shiyin nodded as if he had realized, and Xu Guoren smiled and said, "Okay, go and call them back." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmm." Guo Shiyin nodded lightly and turned to leave.
Three days later, Yu Xuezhong took a few entourages and rode to the first line of heaven, and Xu Guoren also came on horseback surrounded by a guard platoon led by Niu Dagen.
"Your Excellency is Xu Guoren, right?" Yu Xuezhong, who was about forty years old, was dressed in a neat military uniform, and after looking at Xu Guoren, he asked with a smile.
"It's Xu." Xu Guoren immediately arched his hand and said, "You are General Yu Xuezhong?" ”
"Yes." Yu Xuezhong saw that Xu Guoren was neither humble nor arrogant, so young, so he nodded appreciatively and said: "I have heard the name for a long time, but when I see it today, it is really a hero and a young man!" ”
Xu Guoren smiled and said, "Thank you General Yu for the compliment, but time is precious, let's talk about some serious things!" ”
Yu Xuezhong nodded and said, "Okay, Yu also likes to be cheerful." I'm a lot older than you, so I call you Brother Xu, it's not insulting to you, right? ”
Xu Guoren said with a smile: "Of course not, General Yu is famous, and the younger brother is also like thunder, and it is also my honor to be able to call you a brother." ”
"Haha." Yu Xuezhong was very happy after hearing this, although Xu Guoren has the arrogance of the shares, he still knows how to be a man, and there is no one in his eyes, which makes Yu Xuezhong feel very good, and thinks that Xu Guoren is still worth cultivating and can control.
"Okay, then brother, I'll get straight to the point, open the skylight and say something." Yu Xuezhong smiled heartily and said: "What the young marshal means, as long as you accept the adaptation, you can be granted the number of an independent regiment, let you re-garrison Pingyang, and the food, salary, weapons and ammunition will all be supplied by our Northeast Army." ”
Seeing that Xu Guoren's face did not change, Yu Xuezhong secretly appreciated, paused and continued: "However, from now on, you have to obey the orders of the young marshal, I think you should also understand this, Brother Xu, right?" ”
Xu Guoren immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to say, but what if I kill Wu Xing and others, and defeat the three regiments of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army?" ”
Yu Xuezhong said: "As long as you become a member of our Northeast Army, that is, the National Revolutionary Army, who dares to trouble you again, it will not give the young marshal face." Besides, I have also investigated Wu Xing's matter, and you are not very wrong. As for the losses of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army, the young marshal will naturally compensate from other places to appease them, you can rest assured. ”
After a pause, Yu Xuezhong continued: "How is it, the young marshal is not thin on you, right?" I also value you, Brother Xu, a young talent like you, in time, you will become a pillar of the country! ”
Xu Guoren pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "I want to be the teacher!" ”
Yu Xuezhong was taken aback and said, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, I want to be a teacher!" Xu Guoren met Yu Xuezhong's gaze and said unswervingly: "I am the regiment commander now, if I am still the regiment commander, it doesn't matter whether I accept the reorganization of your army or not, and besides, a regiment commander, the position is too low, for me, it is still not safe enough, and I may be killed at any time." ”
Yu Xuezhong frowned and said: "Brother Xu, your appetite is too big, do you know that now the national government has been downsized on a large scale, whether it is the Jin Sui Army, the Northwest Army or our Northeast Army, the original group army, the army has all been reduced to an army, and the army has been reduced to a division, and the current division commander has a much higher gold content than before."
You just want to be a teacher, which makes it difficult for me to do it! ”
Although the difference between the division commander and the regiment commander is only one word, in fact, the difference is more than a thousand miles.
If Xu Guoren's department was still a regiment, the money exposed by Zhang Shaoshuai's fingernails would be enough to feed them.
You must know that at this time, the Shenyang Arsenal, as the largest arsenal in the country, can equip a battalion with a daily output of rifles, which is also the confidence of Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast Army, the total number of regular troops and provincial defense troops exceeds five or six hundred thousand.
And a division is different, since Xu Guoren dares to make such a request, he will definitely not be satisfied with leading a regiment of soldiers and horses in the name of the division commander.
In other words, his security regiment will definitely be expanded into a division, at least five or six thousand people, then it will be different, and the financial and material resources required to support these troops will increase geometrically.
Moreover, being directly promoted from a regimental commander who was designated as a rebel by the local government to a division commander, even with the current power of the young marshal, will inevitably attract criticism.
As Xu Guoren said before, anything is valuable, and once his request exceeds his own value, it may be difficult for the other party to accept it.
Xu Guoren naturally understands this, and he also knows that it is impossible to become a general-level figure as a division commander. So it's just asking for a sky-high price, waiting for the other party to sit on the ground and pay back.
Xu Guoren's mental goal is to mix a brigade commander to be a good person, a brigade can get two regiments at least, plus a few battalion and company-level troops directly under the brigade headquarters, and the total strength will be four or five thousand people.
Now that he has seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, and grain in his hands, and the Northeast Army supplies them according to the logistics of a brigade, it should not be a problem for Xu Guoren to use those landlords' old wealth to let them go and feed a full-fledged brigade with a strength comparable to that of the B Division.
Iron striking also needs its own hardness, only if you have enough strength, can you better survive in this troubled world, this truth Xu Guoren is now deeply understood.
Since Zhang Shaomarshal and his Northeast Army threw an olive branch to themselves at this time, Xu Guoren naturally had to grasp it well and take the opportunity to better strengthen himself.
Of course, this opportunity did not come by itself for no reason, if it were not for the three battles and three victories from Pingyang to the first line, he successively defeated the three regiments of the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army, and captured Zhou Shibin.
I'm afraid that Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Shaoshuai won't even look at themselves more.
Therefore, this opportunity was won by Xu Guoren himself and his soldiers with their lives.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Xu Guoren said to Xuezhong: "Since it is difficult for General Yu to do, then please forgive the little brother for being difficult to obey his fate and say goodbye." ”
After speaking, Xu Guoren turned the horse's head and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Yu Xuezhong suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Xu Guoren: "Brother Xu, slow down, although the division commander can't give it, but brigade commander, I don't think it's a big problem, but I can't make the decision to promise you privately, and I have to wait for me to go back to Beiping to meet the young marshal in person and talk about it for you." ”
Xu Guoren showed a smug smile, then put away his smile, turned his horse's head again, and reluctantly muttered: "Look at the sincerity of the general, you came to negotiate with Xu in person, then the brigade commander, please General Yu go back and tell the young marshal for me, today the young marshal gives me and the soldiers under his command a way to live, Xu will live up to the grace of the young marshal in this life, and one day, he will lead his soldiers to the soup to repay him!" ”
Yu Xuezhong showed a satisfied smile and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely bring it, the young marshal was also a young soldier back then, and when he was so old, he had already led thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the field." Speaking of which, you have a shadow of him, and I think the young marshal should agree to you. ”
Xu Guoren's heart moved, but he still couldn't hold back, and reminded: "General Yu, there is still a word below, and I hope that the general will bring it with you." ”
"Brother Xu, please have something to say." Yu Xuezhong smiled and gestured.
"The Japanese devils will not die in my heart, and they have coveted the four northeastern provinces for a long time, please be more careful." Xu Guoren pointed to the end, although he knew that the 918 incident would break out, but Xu Guoren couldn't say it directly, the reason was very simple, and no one would necessarily believe him if he said it.
In fact, when the September 18 Incident had already broken out, and even when the Japanese army had already occupied Shenyang and launched an attack on the key towns along the South Manchurian Railway, the Nationalist Government and the top leaders of the Northeast Army at that time still believed that the situation was controllable and that the Japanese did not dare to swallow the three eastern provinces.
Therefore, not to mention that this came out of Xu Guoren's mouth, even if it was said by Yu Xuezhong, it might not attract much attention.
The reason why Xu Guoren said it was just to be ashamed, after all, he was a Chinese and his blood was not yet cold Chinese.
