"Bang Bang..."

With the waving of the red order flag in the hands of the executive section chief of the Yichang Xingying Military Police Regiment, the rifles in the hands of the 12 execution gendarmes emitted gunsmoke, and soon gathered into a regiment and drifted far away under the strong blowing of the north wind, and the 12 death row prisoners were killed instantly.

This is the fifth execution in the past three days, and as of today, more than 170 prisoners have been shot, most of whom are mountain bandit leaders who have committed many evils and seriously affected public order, and the rest of them are not even clear to the execution of the gendarmes, and the gendarmes only know that these prisoners were escorted by the guard regiment of the regiment headquarters, and that they must be executed as soon as they arrive; the military doctor of the military police regiment and the chief officer of the guard regiment have completed the autopsy, and a company of engineers seconded from the 16 th Division immediately took the corpses away and buried them. As for where it is pulled and how it is buried, it is not within the jurisdiction of the gendarmerie and the guard corps.

The streets of various counties in western Hubei were plastered with verdict notices from the Yichang Xingying Special Court, and countless people finally saw the harshness of the dictatorship system and understood the power of the law through the vigorous and vigorous crackdown action of "eradicating bandits, protecting the territory and reassuring the people." In order to ensure the outstanding fulfillment of this "political task," the various departments of the Wuhan camp and the party offices of various counties in Wuhan received an urgent notice from the central party department on "launching a special campaign to rectify public order in western Hubei region," and in order to ensure the outstanding fulfillment of this "political task," they have launched large-scale political propaganda in the name of justice, accusing bandits, bullies, and local tyrants of shoddy crimes, and counting the pile-and-pillar bloody cases that have shocked western Hubei and even the surrounding provinces in the past few years, so that An Yiqi's special campaign to entrain "private goods" has won the unanimous support of the people, and the applause has resounded in all directions. Yichang City and other famous county towns have been extinct for a while, and hooligans have fled far away, almost to the extent that they do not close their doors at night and do not leave their roads behind.

The hostile forces and groups were extremely angry but helpless, and hundreds of spies disappeared overnight, and some spies who used the opening of trading houses and workshops as cover were charged with "murder, rape, arms smuggling, drug concealment, and opium trafficking." was publicly approved by the special court, and the parade was immediately shot, and it was too late to send someone to intercede and pay for his life.

Not to mention the elaborate workers of many warlord groups, all the industries were confiscated by the Yibi Xing Battalion and the local garrison headquarters, all the real estate and materials were auctioned and confiscated, the servants and long-term workers were paid and dismissed, and the entire western Hubei region was purged after this troubled era. Everything has become well-organized.

Except for Chiang Kai-shek and a few of his henchmen and think tanks who knew An Yi's purpose, the officials of the rest of the ministries were surprised that An Yi, who seemed to be polite and had always acted in a low-key manner, had such iron-blooded methods, everyone only knew that An Yi had not made any military moves since he became the commander of the Xiwu Army, nor did he recover the Laohekou area that was forcibly occupied by the Northwest Army, but only repeatedly called for disaster relief and transported all 70,000 tons of imported grain to various places in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Everything he did was just like when he took office as the director of the Disaster Relief Committee, and what he showed in front of all walks of life across the country was still that face of worrying about the country and the people, and being compassionate to the heavens and people, no one expected that he would suddenly launch a thunderous attack on all the underworld forces in the jurisdiction. The speed of action and the fierceness of the means are jaw-dropping.

In the Commander-in-Chief's office, Chen Lifu read the latest confidential report to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Twenty-five days" of the Western Hubei purge operation. At the end of yesterday, in addition to taking prisoners, sentencing, and shooting more than 1,500 criminals, 14 catties of hostile forces intelligence stations were smashed and 327 enemy agents were captured, of whom 138 were secretly executed by the Fifth Army Corps, three groups of 17 major enemy agents were escorted to the Nanjing Special Military Prison in batches, and the last group of 32 people was secretly repatriated.

A total of 11 illegal radio stations, more than 430 guns, and a batch of weapons and ammunition were seized during the special operation, and property and materials equivalent to 845,600 yuan were confiscated. ”

Chen Lifu and Shangshu shook their heads helplessly. In his eyes, An Yi is good at everything, but he loves money too much, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, even if he offends the central ministries, he will never let his subordinates suffer.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't seem to hear Chen Lifu's last words, but asked in a low voice: "Among the hundreds of prisoners executed, how many are **?" ”

"According to a secret report by General Zeng Guangqing, secretary general of the camp, about one-third of them are communists. The execution notices published by the special court also contain a great deal of this content. Chen Lifu replied.

Chiang Kai-shek showed a satisfied smile: "Many people complained to me that An Yi's political position was vague, but I don't think he was vague at all, on the contrary, he was a practical person, and his vigorous and resolute actions won my heart, unlike those big officials in various places, who kept saying that they would eliminate the Communist Party." deceived and deceived his superiors and subordinates behind his back, indulged in both sides and three knives, and left the so-called back road for himself. The great cause of the party-state is not at all important. ”

Chen Lifu nodded: "This time, An Yi did a very clever job, without warning in advance, quickly cutting through the chaos, and instantly purging the underworld gangs and enemy forces that have been running in all parts of western Hubei for many years, which can be called the largest purge operation in a year." It's just that his subordinates suspect that An Yi concealed the confiscated income, and he did not declare the number of confiscated enemies and local tyrants in northern Xiangbei, this kid is good at everything. It's just too greedy for money.

Chiang Kai-shek stood up and walked to the window, looked at the X Bu Xue flying outside the window, and said in a low voice: Curse Yan, do you know the little Zhang Xi sent to the United States by An Yi? ”

Chen Lifu was slightly stunned, and took a few steps forward: "My subordinates know, speaking of which, I also saw Zhang Xi when I studied in the United States in my early years, this person doesn't talk much, has a calm personality, and is very knowledgeable, his family was first ransacked by the ** peasant association in his hometown in Hubei, and then was looted again as a fund for the communist party in the later stage of Wang Zhaoming's ** movement. The whole family died because of this, and when Zhang Xi and his Russian wife returned to their hometown from the United States, they were already unable to fulfill their filial piety, and their savings were exhausted and they were penniless. In the end, it was invested in the Jiangnan Group under An Yi's command several times, and since then it has slowly emerged and is deeply used by An Yi.

I heard that Zhang Xi went to the United States in May last year. Assisted Mr. An Yi and Mr. Ou Yaoting in buying food to return to China for disaster relief, but they have not yet returned

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and turned around: "A few days ago, Ziwen.com received a small news from the US minister that Zhang Xi successfully speculated in the stock market crisis in the United States, and signed a series of cooperation agreements with the three major US consortiums with the proceeds of speculation, one of which was a grain purchase agreement, and the Americans needed to ship up to one million tons of corn, flour, and soybeans to China within half a year. US newspapers and periodicals have reported this important event one after another, regarding it as a new milestone in Sino-US friendly relations and a valuable contribution to both the US economy and the Great Famine in China. Ziwen found me the next night when he got the news and told me that he didn't expect An Yi to be so worried about the country and the people. didn't expect Zhang Xi's ability to be so outstanding, and he finally admitted that he had misunderstood An Yi for a long time. ”

"Huh? A million tons of grain" How much is this! Chen Lifu's eyes widened.

Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "An Yi loves money, but he has never collected money for himself, on the contrary. He also behaved extremely simple in life, and he was one of the few generals in our Central Army who usually had a pot meal with the soldiers.

This time, the reason why he did not report the confiscated property in Xiangbei is actually a delicate relationship, that is, it was Zhang Hongza's 44th Army that carried out secret operations in Xiangbei at the same time, therefore. Yuan Jiang's An Yi would not be stupid enough to ask Zhang Hongza how much property he had confiscated, but to use this catty. The opportunity to show the 44th Army an opportunity to requisition and command the two divisions of the 44th Army in a large-scale operation that would soon begin, and he knew that we could imagine the relationship, so he preferred not to mention it. Isn't the property confiscated by him in western Hubei clearly listed? The money withheld is far less than the amount of arrears from the central government, and An Yi used this flexible method to appease Fan Shisheng and Zhu Shigui. He also skillfully took the responsibility on himself, and asked the garrison in western Hubei to reduce his complaints about the central government.

At present, Tang Shengzhi's rebellion has just been quelled. Military salaries, pensions for the dead and wounded, and all kinds of military expenditures have made the central government unable to raise its head, and the garrisons in various localities are also collecting money in violation of orders to support themselves. But none of them can compare to An Yi's ingenuity, which not only temporarily solved the military funding, but also was strongly supported by the local people; This is better than others

Chen Lifu nodded: "My subordinates understand."

Chiang Kai-shek sat down again: "You have time to discuss with Ziwen more about how to cooperate with Ziwen's financial and tax calculations in terms of party affairs and policies; In the next step, we will encounter the biggest test since we took office, and according to the current development trend, the Central Plains war is no longer avoidable, and once the war starts. It is likely to be a protracted and arduous war. ”

"Yes".

In Yichang City, a dark green Citroen sedan slowly drove across the main street, and Zeng Guangqing, who was in the back seat, looked at the closed door of the grocery store and sighed helplessly.

Just three hours before Zeng Guangqing ordered the military police to arrest the female owner of the grocery store, Yin Jinan's guards took the lead in picking people up and detaining the plainclothes gendarmes in charge of surveillance. Knowing that the family of the female boss who was suspected of being a communist party was a relative of Shi Pufang, a brother under An Yi's command, she smiled bitterly a few times and turned away without losing her temper, and in the evening walking with An Yi, she had to adopt An Yi's suggestion, and all the batches of water thieves and bandits who could be executed immediately were named **guerrillas, and the "interrogation experts" sent by An Yi tortured most of them to extract confessions, tortured them into confessions, listed a number of crimes to form a verdict statement, and finally escorted them to the execution ground to shoot the target. All the facts and the corpse were buried together. There is no more trouble in overturning the case.

What is more important is that everyone is happy to do so, not only can they privately get a large amount of confiscated income, but also win praise from the Central Party Department and Commander-in-Chief Chiang for their firm stance and outstanding achievements, and there is no risk of fame and fortune.

The sedan slowly drove into the Yiling camp, and Zeng glanced at the solemn sentries on both sides of the gate. Put away your thoughts and let out a long breath. Although I apologize for being deceitful. But compared with the lofty goal of winning the four" and entering Bashu, what is all this? As long as you work hard and cooperate closely with your powerful and scheming junior brother An Yi, the day of success will not be too far away.
