Chapter 942: Extortion
Leng Tiefeng said: "Ten yuan per person? Lao Xu, it's a little too much. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xu Rui said: "What's more, ten yuan per person, it's so decided." ”
Xu Rui really feels sorry for these captured strong men, but at this stage, that's all he can do, but in the future, sooner or later, the Dabie Mountain will become the territory of their military division, and at that time, he can start to implement the rent and interest reduction policy in the Dabie Mountain Area, and the life of the people in the mountainous areas will be better.
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, this is nearly 300,000 oceans. ”
Xu Rui glanced at Wan Xiangyun, Li Motang and other captives, and said coldly: "Anyway, we don't need to pay this money, and someone will naturally pay this money for us at that time." ”
Leng Tiefeng asked, "Who will pay for us?" ”
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Who else can there be, of course Chairman Jiang!" ”
"Chairman Chiang?" Leng Tiefeng said, "Old Xu, what are you doing with your brains?" ”
Xu Rui didn't pay any attention to Leng Tiefeng, turned his head and said to Xiao Taohong behind him: "Xiao Taohong, immediately send a telegram to the National Army Headquarters in clear code, saying that Wan Xiangyun has personally admitted that the military action of attacking Feixi Town and attacking our Feixi Independent Regiment was ordered by Chairman Jiang, and he Wan Xiangyun was just acting on orders......
"My mother!" Hearing this, Wan Xiangyun, who was pretending to be dead, immediately came back to life and shouted, "Commander Xu, you want my Lao Wan's life, you want my Lao Wan's life, you can't do this, you can't do this, if you really let people send this telegram, can I still have a way to live?" ”
In a hurry, Wan Xiangyun's hometown dialect came out.
Xu Rui ignored him, and said: "Wan Xiangyun just acted on orders, but it's a pity that the military adventure of the 32nd Group Army was thwarted by us, and now, Wan Xiangyun, the commander-in-chief of the group army, Li Motang, the chief of staff, and several army commanders and division commanders below, as well as more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, have all let us take prisoners." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Taohong knew what Xu Rui wanted to do, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Xu Rui also said: "No matter who you are, you must accept punishment for doing something wrong, and Chairman Jiang is no exception as the leader of the national government, just like that, if Chairman Jiang still wants his subordinates, if he still wants this high-ranking general of the 32nd Group Army and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, then take the money to ransom it." ”
Hearing this, Li Motang, Xia Hanzhong, and other senior generals couldn't help but be stupid.
What's the situation? Xu Rui is trying to blackmail Chairman Jiang? Does he really dare?
Xu Rui didn't seem to see the surprised look on the faces of Li Motang and the others, and then said: "The price of ransom is like this, the commander-in-chief of the group army is 200,000 oceans, this absolute conscience price, it is really not expensive, the chief of staff and the army commander make a discount, even if it is 100,000, the army chief of staff and the division commander will make a discount again, count 50,000 oceans, and the brigade commander and regiment commander at the bottom will be counted as a thousand yuan, and the battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander or something, it should be given for free, but 20,000 officers and soldiers have to be calculated at ten yuan per person, so it is calculated, The total is 1.18 million yuan, I will give you a fraction, only give us a whole number of 1 million yuan, when will the money arrive, when will we release people, if there is no money, you can also take the material deduction. ”
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "Oh yes, this is just a capitation fee, weapons and equipment are calculated separately, if Chairman Jiang still wants to redeem weapons and equipment, especially the full set of equipment of the Italian mountain artillery battalion, I am afraid that I will have to add another 500,000 yuan, adding up to 1.5 million yuan, and finally I will give a 20% discount, which is 1.2 million!" ”
Listening to Xu Rui babbling there, Xiao Taohong couldn't help but laugh.
Wan Xiangyun, Li Motang and other senior generals of the 32nd Group Army looked at each other, all of them were stunned, Xu Rui was just talking about it, or was he really going to use them as bargaining chips, and then blackmail the chairman of the committee? Doesn't this guy know how dead words are written? Would he really dare to do that?
(Dividing Line)
When Chairman Chiang received the news, he was inspecting the Fifth Army, which had just been reorganized, in Hengyang.
Not only did he place a large amount of strategic resources in favor of the Fifth Army, but he also transferred a large number of fierce Whampoa generals in terms of personnel, such as Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, and Liao Yaoxiang, all of whom were fierce generals known for their courage and skill.
Chairman Jiang took the Meiling special plane late last night and flew directly from Chongqing to Hengyang.
Flying at night is certainly dangerous, but it is also forced to be helpless, because most of Hunan has already fallen, and Hengyang has become the front line, and if you fly during the day, it is very likely that it will be discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese air force, and it will be troublesome, so for the sake of safety, Chairman Chiang's special plane can only fly at night.
When the Meiling special plane flew to Hengyang, it was dawn.
Du Yuming took Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaoxiang, Zheng Dongguo and a large number of senior generals to Hengyang Airport to pick up the plane, and found that the Meiling special plane had been parked on the tarmac, and the airport staff who picked up the plane had also been prepared, the red carpet had been paved, and the gangway had been arranged, but the door of the special plane had not been opened.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the door of the special plane open, so Du Yuming couldn't help but walk to the side of Zhang Zhizhong, chairman of Hunan Province, who was also picking up the plane at the airport, and asked in a low voice: "Chairman Zhang, why don't you get off the plane?" ”
Zhang Zhizhong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Commander Du, I really don't know this. ”
In desperation, Du Yuming and Zhang Zhizhong could only continue to wait.
Du Yuming and Zhang Zhizhong did not know that at this time, Chairman Jiang was furious on the Meiling special plane.
"Mother, Xipi! It's going to turn the sky upside down, Xu Rui is going to turn the sky upside down! Chairman Jiang kept walking back and forth in the cabin with a civilized stick, scolding and scolding, "A small colonel regimental commander, with the rank of major in the army, dares to openly blackmail me, the chairman of the military committee, what does he want to do?" ”
Chen Cheng, who followed him, said sternly: "Commission, Xu Rui's move is indeed too much, he is blatant blasphemy against the leader and the authority of the national government, so he must be severely punished!" ”
"Severe punishment? How to punish? Arrest him and kill him? Can you catch him? Chen Cheng's words immediately became a small drop of water thrown into the oil pot, which ignited Chairman Jiang's monstrous anger, and Chairman Jiang roared loudly, "In the final analysis, this matter is because Wan Xiangyun is incompetent, and you still valued him so much at the beginning." ”
When Chen Cheng heard this, he immediately lowered his head in shame, because when the 32nd Group Army was just formed, it was he who recommended to Chairman Jiang that Wan Xiangyun should be the commander-in-chief of the group army, but now, the four main divisions of the 32nd Group Army were so easily defeated by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, including Wan Xiangyun, the commander-in-chief of the group army, more than 20,000 people in the whole army became prisoners of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. There is no way to turn around for Wan Xiangyun in front of Chairman Jiang.
At that moment, Chen Cheng didn't say anything again, but said in his heart, Lao Wan, Lao Wan, you can ask for more blessings, anyway, I have already said it for you, and this is worthy of the 500,000 US dollars you gave me!
Bai Chongxi on the other side looked very relaxed, let your old Jiang mix sand into our Fifth War Zone, and let you stuff the 32nd Group Army into our Fifth War Zone, this time you will suffer hardship, right? I told you a few months ago that Dabie Mountain is too close to Damei Mountain, so it is better to send a force that can fight a tough battle.
Bai Chongxi belonged to Liao Lei's 21st Group Army, and the 7th Army and the 41st Army under the jurisdiction of the 21st Group Army were all Gui ace troops, especially the Seventh Army, which could be said to be the pillar of the Gui Army.
But in the end, Lao Jiang chose the 32nd Group Army strongly recommended by Chen Cheng.
Bai Chongxi can be said to know the bit of greasy between Chen Cheng and Wan Xiangyun, so he didn't stop it, but in his private heart, he had been waiting to see Wan Xiangyun and Chen Cheng's jokes, and it really made Bai Chongxi wait, Wan Xiangyun and the 32nd Group Army really made a big joke.
The dignified commander-in-chief of a group army actually became a prisoner of the Communist Party, and it was not counted as a prisoner, but he actually let people use it as a bargaining chip to blackmail, and it was his old Jiang who was blackmailed, can he not be angry? If he Bai Chongxi is Jiang someone, I am afraid that he will be half angry to death.
Seeing Chairman Jiang angry there, Bai Chongxi didn't mention how happy he was.
However, on the surface, Bai Chongxi was still worried and said: "Commission, Xu Rui's move is excessive, but the matter still has to be solved after all, Xu Rui is a stunned person, if he can't meet his conditions, he may really be able to make a crazy move, and it will be difficult to clean up at that time." ”
"Crazy moves?" Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "What move?" ”
Bai Chongxi said indifferently: "For example, if you kill Wan Xiangyun, you will be able to incorporate the four divisions of the 32nd Group Army!" ”
"Killing Wan Xiangyun is clean, he should have died a long time ago." Chairman Jiang snorted and said, "As for the four divisions of the 32nd Group Army, lend him two guts!" ”
Bai Chongxi frowned and said, "What does the commission mean, not giving money?" ”
"Give money? Give him a big-headed ghost! Chairman Jiang stomped on the floor under his feet with a civilized stick, then turned his head to Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, and said, "Shihe, immediately send a report to the Yan'an side and the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and make solemn representations to them, limiting them to release them within 24 hours, otherwise, all the consequences will be borne by their Communist Party!" ”
Wang Shihe answered, turned around and walked into the communication office next door, and sent a telegram.
Bai Chongxi watched coldly, but smiled faintly, I am afraid that this matter will be ridiculed. (To be continued.) )
