Chapter 215: Good at Praise
Liu Xiang summoned Liu Yun so ceremoniously, of course, not for fun, everyone entered the auditorium of Phoenix Mountain Airport, and sat down one by one according to seniority, Liu Xiang deserved to sit in the main seat, Liu Wenhui was the first on the left hand, with a smile and modesty, without the slightest hint of humility.
The rest of the ranking is a bit interesting, Liu Xiang's original intention was to let Liu Yun sit in the first place on his right hand, Commander Liu is not stunned, this position is too hateful, so he took the initiative to sit under Liu Wenhui, this position is also very high, it is said that ordinary people are not qualified enough, and Yang Sen and Wang Lingji are qualified, but Xikang is a semi-independent force, so who really dares to sit.
Liu Yun sat on the other side, on the surface, it seemed to be the fourth chair, with his qualifications and age was naturally not enough, but with two Chairman Liu to help cover it, it was naturally enough, and he also helped other generals a lot, so as to avoid being secretly hated by Liu Xiang, thinking that they were pro-Xikang dissidents.
In this way, Commander Liu can be regarded as comprehensive, not only accepting the good intentions of the two Chairman Liu, but also making the other lieutenant generals of Sichuan much less hostile, and of course, it also made Liu Xiang and Yang Sen and other clear-eyed people feel a little higher in their hearts, and their evaluation of Liu Yun is a few points higher, only Liu Wenhui nodded secretly.
With Chairman Liu Xiang's dry cough, more than ten generals in the auditorium were suddenly silent, and even Liu Zongyi and other eight or nine squire clan elders who relied on the old and sold the old were also taken by the iron-blooded power of the soldiers, and involuntarily shuddered, and finally Liu Wenhui made an opening report.
"Dear brothers of the Sichuan army, all fathers and fellow villagers, I am gathered here, not for the sake of one family and one surname, but for the well-being of tens of millions of people in Sichuan.
Liu Yun and others took the lead in applauding, followed by thunderous applause, a moment later, Liu Xiang pressed it with his hand, the applause suddenly stopped, a sense of listening, Chairman Liu said slowly, "Everyone's kindness, Liu has thanked you in advance, but before the discussion, I have to thank someone."
Liu Yun couldn't help but touch his nose with a wry smile, this person is none other than him, sure enough, Liu Xiang looked over, with a smile on his face, "This is Liu Yicheng in western Sichuan, the son and nephew of my old Liu family, don't you see that he is young, you deliberately bully him, I don't agree with Brother Wenhui."
Commander Liu hurriedly stood up, respectfully saluted everyone one by one, and said neatly, "Junior, Liu Yun, I have seen all the seniors, if there is any rudeness on weekdays, I hope you have a lot of Haihan, if there is something useful, please command, you should work hard."
Before anyone else could speak, Liu Xiang took over the topic, "You have also seen it, although Yicheng is young, in terms of open-mindedness, he is no worse than us old things, the miracle of western Sichuan, I believe you have heard of it, what I want to tell you is that these are the merits of him alone."
"Railway, we Sichuan people, have been working together since before the Xinhai Revolution, and there have been a lot of changes in the middle, and there have been no major achievements so far, only Liu Yicheng has done it. In November 1934, he passed through Chongqing, and I made a secret bet with Brother Wen Hui on whether he could build an inch of railway."
"However, Brother Wen Hui and I are wrong, he not only built the West Sichuan Railway, but also repaired hundreds of miles, and now it is going to be repaired to the city, everyone, the international advisory group told me that in two or three months, the city will be opened to trains, it is unbelievable, I have been excited for several days."
Liu Xiang looked at Liu Yun and asked very kindly, "Yicheng, you are the king of the railway, tell us the old man, when will your railway network line be opened to traffic."
Railway king, this name is a bit bullish, Liu Yun didn't make a fuss, this is the characteristics of the Republic of China, often is the textile king, oil king, very modest said, "Yicheng is an ordinary person, to have today, all rely on the support of the two Chairman Liu, as well as the help of the fathers."
Liu Yun looked apologetic and honest, and said honestly, "When it comes to Chongqing, it makes Yicheng embarrassed, the situation at that time is not the case, but the two chairmen are too modest and give me all the credit."
Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui's faces sank, and hurriedly asked him not to say it, Commander Liu is a bull temper, where is he willing to compromise, and said in a loud voice, "The two chairmen are for the sake of the elders in Sichuan, it can be said that they are full of courage and courage, if I don't say it, wouldn't it be better than a beast, no, I have to say it."
It seems that he can't hold it down, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui smiled a little bitterly, so they had to let him talk nonsense, Liu Yun said loudly, "Actually, the chief who received me at that time was not only two uncles, but also Chairman Jiang of Nanjing, what I said, Jiang can testify that the two chairmen lied."
There was an uproar all of a sudden, and the two Chairmen Liu had no choice but to lower their heads, not to make any arguments and explanations for the time being, and Commander Liu continued to break up, "The Sichuan railway network plan was actually formulated by the two uncles and President Jiang together, and I am just an executor, and I am also the double commander of the Sichuan Army and the Central Army."
The officials and gentry are stupid, and they believe eighty percent of someone's nonsense, not to mention that Liu Yun has ironclad evidence in hand, and Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are not allowed to "reverse black and white", because in the handwritten edict of Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, it is indeed written that the arsenal and railway are specially run, and the people involved must obey the dispatch.
Oh, Chairman Liu is really the initiator of the Sichuan Railway, it is really far-sighted, everyone is ashamed of themselves, as early as many years ago, Liu Yun was appointed as the Qincha, full-time responsibility for the construction of the Sichuan Railway, in a look of remorse and admiration, the two chairmen were helpless, Liu Xiang had to criticize someone.
"Yicheng, you are not good at this, you like to tell the truth too much, it is obviously your own credit, you have to put us in, over the years, Brother Wenhui and I, have not allocated you an ocean, you are doing this now makes us very embarrassed, and those who don't know think we are greedy for merit."
Liu Yun had no choice but to bow his head in shame, like a third-grade elementary school student, honestly following the comments of the two teachers Liu, Liu Wenhui couldn't stand it, and quickly took over the topic, "Brother Fucheng, this is your mistake, Yicheng is my son surnamed Liu, what's the matter with telling the truth."
King Xikang seems to be very protective of Liu Yun, a junior, and does not care about Liu Xiang's face, and supports it with great righteousness, "You and I are the leaders of the old Liu family, and it is within our duty to love the children of the same clan, but the railway matter is not a matter of one family and one surname, it is a major matter of saving the country and benefiting the people, and it cannot be perfunctory."
Liu Yun lowered his head and smiled secretly, Liu Wenhui is a pun, he and Liu Xiang are the spokespersons of the old Liu family, any credit of the Liu family can also be regarded as their credit, because everyone is "one is prosperous, one is lost", of course, if you take up face, you have to pay back some lining, such as the ocean.
Liu Xiang was silent for a while, and then sighed, and had to look at Liu Yun differently in his heart, so he changed the topic, "Since the reorganization of the army in Chuankang in July last year, initial results have been achieved, and four regular armies, fifteen integrated divisions, and several garrison brigades and garrison regiments have been tempered."
"Of course, due to the emergence of the West Sichuan Railway, Commander Liu Yicheng of Maozhou City has set up a railway garrison brigade and a number of engineering construction battalions, which is a great innovation, a proper and timely solution to the second-line troops eliminated by the whole army, and provides new ideas for the whole army plan."
Liu Xiang looked around at the people present, and looked at Wang Lingji, Yang Sen and others with a focused view, "I have decided to set up the Sichuan Army Engineering Construction Corps, with a tentative deputy military level, and a number of construction battalions and construction regiments under its jurisdiction, so as to solve the livelihood of veterans while seeking the well-being of the fathers and elders in Sichuan."
At this time, everyone understood, your sister, what deputy military level, it turned out to be the old, weak, sick and disabled who were eliminated by the Sichuan army, if you want a gun or not, if you want money or not, you have to take this group of people to beg for a mouth, in case you starve to death and cause a riot among the soldiers, I'm afraid ten heads are not enough to cut off.
All of a sudden, there was a tendency to talk about the tiger's color change, and they lowered their heads one after another, for fear of being noticed by Liu Xiang, in case a king tiger robbed his relatives, or the overlord forced a bow, etc., wouldn't it be wronged, only Liu Wenhui didn't care, and he was leisurely, because his level was high enough, and he couldn't do such rough work if he wanted to shoehorn it.
Liu Xiang is also hairy, what are these generals and colonels, usually for the sake of military salaries and establishment, they have broken their heads, and now they are a little rough, and no one is worried about him, forget it, he plans to assign it by force, "That, Wang Lingji, Pan Wenhua and Yang Sen, I don't know what the three virtuous brothers think?" ”
Wang Panyang and the three of them secretly complained, and then they remembered the benefits of Deng Xihou, that is a crystal monkey, no matter what happens, he can always come up with a way, the three of them are indeed slightly losing in terms of urgency, and they usually always want to squeeze him out, but now it is the present world.
The sweat on the faces of the three of them flowed down, or Pan Wenhua thought of a way to deal with it, and secretly glanced at Liu Wenhui and asked him to lend a helping hand, yes, some ugly things are not suitable for anyone, only the semi-independent King Xikang is the most suitable, this guy is not a fool, and he doesn't want to blindly participate.
However, Wang Panyang and the three of them, plus Deng Xihou of Gannan, are the four princes of the Sichuan army, and their strength is not trivial, Liu Wenhui has always had a little idea about the position of the king of Sichuan.
"Brother Fucheng, the younger brother has a little idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not", Liu Wenhui bravely shouldered the heavy burden and transferred Liu Xiang's firepower to him, making Wang Panyang and the others secretly relieved.
Chairman Liu Xiang smiled slightly, and immediately knew the reason, it was just the face of King Xikang, and he still had to give it, so he tried to ease it and said, "Brother Wenhui, if you count according to the genealogy, you are still my elder, even if you shout Dad, you can stand it, and if you say a few words, what's wrong."
Everyone knows that Liu Xiang "made a treasure", but at this juncture, who dares to open his mouth indiscriminately, only Liu Wenhui has a ruffian smile on his face, "Brother Fucheng, we are all people who carry guns and eat sounds, charging into a game to engage in construction, don't we deliberately embarrass us."
Seeing that Liu Xiang's face was a little dark, Liu Wenhui immediately proposed a solution, "As the saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid hatred, and the ability does not avoid relatives, well, I will raise a kiss today", this guy glanced at Liu Yun, "My nephew, Liu Yicheng in western Sichuan, he is the general leader."
This is one of the best choices, that is, the age and qualifications are a little worse, Liu Xiang is also a little hesitant, Yang Sen and Wang Lingji and others, but they can't wait, if it really hits their heads, it will be really fatal, so they support Liu Yun in unison, and others also follow the blind coaxing, and the more they talk, the more outrageous they are, what is the savior of the Sichuan army, what is the great man in Sichuan, what is the god of wealth in Sichuan.
