Just when Chang Kaishen in Nanjing was tormented by Jiang Dingwen's defeat and capture, Chen Cheng, who was stationed in Guangchang, was thundering at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What made Chen Cheng so irritable was a letter written by Zhang Cheng on the evening of the 5th, in which Zhang Cheng wrote:

Hello General Chen Cheng,

You followed Chang Kaishen, the leader of the people's massacre, and led your troops to encircle and suppress the Red Army many times, massacring our soldiers and people, and in fact committing heinous crimes against the Chinese people, and in the first battle of the regiment and village, our young communist division has beaten your 11th division to the ground and fled, this is just a deterrent warning to you to resist the revolution and go against justice, I hope you will stop the precipice as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished by the iron fist of justice of our young communist division, and then you will be crushed to pieces, and there will be no redemption for a hundred deaths.

Gossip, I am now formally negotiating with you about the exchange of prisoners in Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture:

"1. Our Young Communist Division captured a total of 287 officers of the Central Army of the People's Party, including one Kuomintang General Jiang Dingwen, who can be exchanged for 500,000 oceans, and five generals and brigade commanders, such as Li Yannian and Lin Qingyun, who are divided into 500,000 oceans, and the other 276 officers, most of whom are students of the Whampoa Military Academy, should know their value and charge you 10,000 yuan per person is not expensive at all.

2. The discount is summed up, and the 287 Kuomintang officers can be discounted by 3.76 million yuan, and if you don't have so much ocean, you can cash in with weapons and ammunition, grain, grass, baggage, and mules, carts, and horses, and the market price shall prevail.

3. A total of 10,780 Kuomintang soldiers have been taken prisoner, and they are undergoing labor reform by our army at this time.

If you are not qualified to decide whether to implement it, you can call Chang Kaishen, the head of the people's slaughter, presumably as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, he will definitely not give up on his students.

If an exchange intention is reached, an exchange ceremony can be held outside Ningdu City before the 9th of this month.

Sincerely, respects

Commander of the International Division of the Young Communist Party of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Zhang Cheng

On 6 October 1934"

After reading Zhang Cheng's telegram, Chen Cheng was naturally furious, and Chen Cheng, who had always been polite and angry, scolded: "Shameless! Shameless! Is this still the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which has always been advertised as a division of justice and benevolence? It's a bandit! If you want to blackmail me for 3.76 million oceans, you want to mistake his heart, and he won't succeed! ”

After roaring for a while, an adjutant brought a telegram and handed it to Chen Cheng, and said hesitantly: "Commander-in-chief, the big thing is not good, after receiving your telegram, the chairman of the committee was angry and fainted, and before fainting, he scolded you and Chief Jiang Dingwen. Now another telegram of reprimand has been sent, and there are many accusations against you! ”

When Chen Cheng heard this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, how should this be good? He imitates Chang Kaishen everywhere and considers himself the chairman of the committee, isn't he relying on Chang Kaishen's favor, if he falls out of favor, how will he gain a foothold by Chang Kaishen's side in the future.

Chen Cheng read and read the letter written by Zhang Cheng, his face changed rapidly, and finally he sighed, it seems that he still has to accept the blackmail of that little bastard Zhang Cheng.

As long as Jiang Dingwen and them were secretly exchanged back, and then exchanged with that little bastard for a group of soldiers, he could justifiably explain to Chang Kaishen that the telegram was wrong before, Jiang Dingwen was not captured by the red bandits, although the troops failed to encircle and suppress the Soviet area, but Jiang Dingwen made meritorious contributions and led the backbone team to break out, because they were in the enemy war zone, so they hid in the mountains for a few days, which caused the rumors that Jiang Dingwen's department was captured.

But the price of exchanging them back is too great, right? It's just that money is a trivial matter, as long as you have the power in your hand, the lost money will automatically come back, and it's a big deal to collect a few more taxes from those landlords and old wealth, and then collect some grain and grass, mules, carts, and horses, and it's almost the same.

But will this be known to the old man? It's Chen Cheng who thinks about it carefully, what if the old man knows, anyway, it's not my Chen Cheng's defeat, I'm just a poor rescue at most, maybe the old man knows that I broke my family and money in order to rescue Jiang Dingwen and them, and he values me more.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng had already made a decision in his heart, and ordered the adjutant to say: "Help me draft a letter: General Zhang Cheng, after receiving your letter, I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to accept your conditions, but at this price, can I discuss it again......

At 10 a.m. on October 7, on the outskirts of Ningdu.

Hu Lian, commander of the 66th Regiment of the 11th Division, led a whole regiment of about 2,000 people, escorting a large number of mule carts, supplies, and more than 1,000 Red Army prisoners to come as promised.

When Li Yunlong led the reconnaissance company of the 1st Brigade to arrive, Hu Lian was already in full array, and Li Yunlong did not know Hu Lian's name in later generations, so he had no friendship with Hu Lian, and the two sides exchanged prisoners of war immediately after the routine business.

After exchanging prisoners, Li Yunlong originally forced the KMT prisoners to be reformed through labor for his side, resulting in malnutrition and a little guilt for the KMT prisoners. But when he saw the scars on the Red Army soldiers brought by Hu Lian, he wanted to kill Hu Lian on the spot. But in the end, he still held back, he always had a heroic plot in his heart, thinking that the things on the battlefield would be calculated on the battlefield, and one day he would make the Kuomintang army pay the price.

The soldiers on both sides were exchanged for prisoners, and in the one-to-one exchange ratio, Chen Cheng's side handed over a total of 1,852 Red Army soldiers to Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong also handed over 1,852 Kuomintang prisoners to Hu Lian.

The next step was the ransom of the captured officers of the Kuomintang, and finally Chen Cheng handed over to Li Yunlong two million oceans, 100 carts of grain, and a large number of mule carts and cloth.

After the exchange, both sides were red-eyed, eager to kill each other immediately, but after all, everyone was a professional soldier, and obeying orders was the first priority, so after the exchange, they just stared at each other indignantly, and everyone went back to their respective homes.

Guangchang City, Chen Cheng's official residence.

Seeing that Jiang Dingwen looked ashamed to see people after he came back, Chen Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, but his body walked up again, and he held Jiang Dingwen's hand tightly and said, "Third Brother Ming, you have suffered!" ”

Jiang Dingwen smiled bitterly, retracted his hand, and said with a smile: "Jiang has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has never had such a shameful humiliation, which makes the old brother laugh!" ”

Chen Cheng opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Third Brother Ming, why did you say this, your department bravely suppressed the bandits, and only led three divisions of troops to enter Ruijin, the core of the red bandits, if it wasn't for carelessness and greed, and mistakenly fell into the ambush of the red bandits, presumably we would have been able to drink tea in Ruijin this time." However, the three brothers of Ming bravely crowned the three armies, and under the siege of more than 60,000 red bandits, they were still outnumbered, won three battles and three victories, and led the remnants of 2,000 to break through, which is really pleasant! ”

Jiang Dingwen's eyes widened, his face was confused, and he said angrily for a long time: "Chen Cixiu, why are you entertaining me?" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "I'm entertaining you, what I said just now is the final war briefing to the chairman of the committee on this battle." ”

Jiang Dingwen was moved, holding Chen Cheng's hand and crying: "Brother Cixiu, don't thank you for your kindness, look at my performance in the future, brother, I will only look forward to you in the future." ”

Chen Cheng also pretended to be moved to tears, but in his heart he was crying about the two million oceans and materials, grain and grass, for these ransoms, he offended the landlords and old wealth in this area.
