Chapter 239: Return to Xuzhou
Two months later, Zhao Ming's new government was established in Nanjing.
Three months later, Mitsumasa's cabinet collapsed, and Fumihiro Konoe came to the top and formed a new cabinet as prime minister for the second time.
Within a few days of the formation of the new cabinet, Foreign Minister Yoyoshi Matsuoka put forward a new national strategic concept of 'new order in East Asia' and 'co-prosperity in Greater East Asia.'
The New Order of East Asia is the intellectual property of Fumiro Konoe, and the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia is copied by Fumiro Konoe from Ye Tufei. In order to stop Ye Tufei's mouth, Konoe Wenlu specially appointed a commissioner to Nanjing to award Ye Tufei the Special Contribution Medal of 'Greater East Asia Co-prosperity'.
Zhao Ming was ecstatic and flattered by this, but Ye Tufei was disgusted and ashamed.
But no matter what kind of mood you are in, you still have to deal with the work of face. After finally finishing the award ceremony, Zhao Ming mentioned to Ye Tufei about helping him manage the army.
During this time, Ye Tufei was basically idle. Zhao Ming's new government needs some transactional work, and running errands is not Ye Tufei's specialty. At the same time, because he followed Zhao Ming to Nanjing, the affairs of Gongrong Commercial Bank could only be entrusted to Nie Hengzi.
When people are idle, they think blindly.
Ye Tufei didn't think much about it during this time. The main content of the blind imagination is inseparable from the word 'crossing'.
After thinking about it for a long time, I thought about it a lot, and I thought about it naturally.
Therefore, when Zhao Ming mentioned to Ye Tufei about arresting the army, Ye Tufei did not hesitate and directly agreed to Zhao Ming.
Ye Tufei thought at that time that if he could throw 10,000 or 20,000 of these traitor troops into the pocket of the anti-Japanese forces, and then he would disintegrate the fighting will of these traitor armies from the inside, so that those anti-Japanese forces could have a fat meal, it would also be a good result.
Zhao Ming saw that Ye Tufei happily agreed to him, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, he struck while the iron was hot and directly assigned the task to Ye Tufei.
"To the west of Xuzhou in the Dangshan area, there is a Chongqing army, probably the strength of a division, the commander of that division was my student in the early years, and in recent years he has been squeezed out by the Chongqing side, and has always wanted to abandon the dark and turn to the light. Xiao Ye, you work hard, go talk to them, and bring this team over. ”
Xuzhou?
As soon as he heard the name of this place, Ye Tufei's mind suddenly appeared with the faces of a large number of brothers.
Let's not talk about the brothers in their own bandit camp, Peng Youming, Yan Xiwen, Wei Xiangdong, the communists don't know about it, okay? Has Han Hongxun's team of worshipping his brother grown again? and the commissioner Hu Xiaozhou, who was full of anger when he mentioned it......
"Well, you give me the information of that division, I'll get acquainted with it, and I'll leave in two days!"
The strength of a division seems to be a little less, but for the bandit battalion, it is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant, if this division can be eaten, then how strong the bandit battalion should be!
Zhao Ming immediately took out the information from the drawer and handed it to Ye Tufei.
The predecessor of this division was the Dangshan Security Corps, which was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Central Army during the Battle of Kaifeng, but later did not have time to withdraw because of the bursting embankment at the Huayuankou and was delayed on the north bank of the Yellow Flood Area.
The division commander's surname is Wang, and his single name is Xingzi, and he is not from a professional class, but he relied on his family's money to buy a deputy position in the security corps. After the Security Corps was incorporated into the Central Army's operational sequence, it was granted the establishment of a brigade, and Wang Xing once again played the wonderful role of money, changing from an idle position as a deputy to a substantive post as a regiment commander.
The brigade commander of this brigade, that is, the former head of the security regiment, could not stand the fear of being frightened in the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, so he simply swept up the entire brigade's military pay for three months and ran away. Wang Xing used money and efficiency for the third time to soothe the resentment of the officers and men of the whole brigade, so that his prestige among the officers and men of the whole brigade reached its peak, and at the same time, he was also appreciated by the superiors and made up for the lack of brigade commanders.
Wang Xing's leading troops to fight is actually a joke, but this gentleman is really sociable, balancing between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Japanese.
With someone in his hand, his waist is hard to speak, and Wang Xing's pocket is full of money, after some activities, the brigade was promoted to a division, and Wang Xing was naturally promoted from a brigade commander to a division commander.
However, this kind of life of currying favor with the left and right was really difficult, the Japanese would destroy him at any time, the Communist Party did not like him, and the Chongqing side also constantly criticized him for not attacking him.
In this case, Wang Xing made the most important choice and got in touch with Zhao Ming.
Looking at the information and becoming familiar with Wang Xing, Ye Tufei couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Zhao, what is the use of us taking this kind of troops?" Ye Tufei made up his mind to give this piece of fat to the old brothers in the bandit camp, so he had to give Zhao Ming some eye medicine first, so that Zhao Ming would believe that it was normal for such a division to be eaten by a battalion, "Can this Wang Division Commander be a person who can lead troops?" I think he's like a businessman. ”
Zhao Ming smiled and replied, "Don't underestimate this division!" Division Commander Wang is indeed not a piece of material to lead troops, but the six regiment commanders under him are all like wolves and tigers, and they will definitely not be worse than those Central Army Commanders from Huangpu if they are picked out at random. ”
A sheep leads a herd of lions!
Ye Tufei's first reaction was that this group of lions, under the leadership of the little sheep, could they still remember that they were once the king of beasts?
Just about to explain this truth to Zhao Ming, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Ming: "I know that as long as this division is still in Wang Xing's hands, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness, but it doesn't matter, when they come, I will arrange a seat for Wang Xing in Nanjing that satisfies him, this division commander, Xiao Ye, you observe and see if anyone among the six regiment commanders can be qualified for this position." ”
Zhao Ming's trick was simple and effective, Ye Tufei had nothing to say, so he could only nod and agree.
At noon the next day, Ye Tufei packed up, took Xiao Zhonghe and Duguyu, dressed up as master and servant, and embarked on the road to Xuzhou.
Take the train to Xuzhou first, and then from Xuzhou to Dangshan.
According to Ye Tufei's status and level in the new government, at least one guard platoon should be arranged for protection on this trip, but Ye Tufei was annoyed and took the initiative to ask for everything to be simple, Zhao Ming also knew Ye Tufei's ability, and there was no need to consider safety issues along the way, so he obeyed Ye Tufei.
Two months is a whole year, Ye Tufei returned to this familiar city, things are not people, he is no longer the bandit leader of Erlang Mountain, he has become an important member of the new government, in terms of level, he is much higher than Jingwu under the mountain.
However, the Japanese did not respect the important officials of the new government, and they believed that no matter how high their positions were, they would always be servants and servants in front of them.
Therefore, when Keigo Yamashita received a contact letter from Nanjing asking for reception, he did not regard this 'Commissioner Ye' as a big deal, and casually arranged for a maintenance association president to come forward to receive him.
Ye Tufei decided to humiliate Yamashita Jingwu.
If Ye Tufei only came on behalf of Zhao Ming, then it would be difficult for him to have the strength to wrestle with Yamashita Keigo, but behind Ye Tufei was not only Zhao Ming, but also a shadow and a plum agency under the leadership of Shadow Zuo Frame Zhao.
The Mei organ was in the middle of the Japanese military system, and its report could be submitted directly to the Chinese Dispatch Command.
Not only that, when Ye Tufei was doing government public relations for Zhao Ming, he also became a New Year's friend with Matsui Shigen.
When Ye Tufei received the order, he first went to Shadow Frame Akira to get the support of Shadow Frame Aki, and then went to Matsui Ishone's office.
Like Kenji Dohihara, Matsui Ishine is also obsessed with Chinese antiques, but unlike Kenji Dohihara, Matsui Ishine, although obsessed, is by no means an expert in this way.
Ye Tufei took some of the things left over from the auction that were not treasures and gave them to Matsui, and won Matsui's favor.
Matsui Shigen's second hobby is Go, most of the soldiers are some radicals, and there are very few people who can calm down and play a game of Go with their hearts, and Ye Tufei's chess strength is just commensurate with Matsui Shigen, and he has become a very good 'friend' relationship.
After Ye Tufei found Matsui Shigen, he poured bitter water on Matsui Shigen: "Commander General, I'm afraid my mission will be more auspicious!" Whether he can come back safely or not, only Amakasu Okami knows! ”
Matsui Ishone naturally asked what the reason was.
Ye Tufei told him and Yamashita Keigo about the festival one by one.
Matsui Shigen laughed when he heard this: "I thought your task was so dangerous, but I was just worried that this little friend would find you trouble, don't be afraid, play two games of chess with me, after playing chess, I will write you a letter, you go to Xuzhou, give the letter to Yamashita Keigo, and see if he dares to be disrespectful to you!" ”
With the identity certificate of the Mei organ and the handwritten letter of Commander Matsui, Ye Tu flew to the land of Xuzhou, and he would be afraid of him going down the mountain to Jingwu? Even if he met the head of the Hashimoto Division, Ye Tufei could still raise his head to the sky.
Pity the president of the maintenance association, as soon as he saw Ye Tufei, before he could nod and pat Ye Tufei on the back, he was grabbed by Dugu Yu by the collar, straight and back, and slapped six or seven times.
This was already rehearsed on the train, and in order to snatch this slap job, Xiao Zhonghe and Duguyu also played rock-paper-scissors.
After a series of slaps, the president was about to cry aggrievedly, he really didn't understand how he offended the commissioner from Nanjing with just a face.
"These slaps are for Yamashita Jingwu, he has received a notice from Nanjing, but he did not come to greet this commissioner in person, do you think he should be punished?"
What can the president say? I can only nod my head like an old rooster pecking rice.
"Okay, I don't want to embarrass you anymore, you hurry back and call Yamashita Keigo to this commissioner!"
