Chapter 360: Murder with a Knife (II)

Fan Shisheng wasted all his strength, sent people to Xu Zhirui's army to occupy Xinping County three times, explained in every possible way, and pushed all this onto the local fierce, ignorant and extremely xenophobic militia groups, and truthfully told him how Zeng Yuewei's division stationed in Fengcheng was suddenly attacked by the two major local militia groups and suffered heavy losses and had to raise troops to exterminate them, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding and exchange for the understanding of Xu Zhirui and the generals of the Guangdong army.

Xu Zhirui's generals were still angry, but Zhang Fakui's telegram urging him to set off and rush to Guangzhou as soon as possible had arrived, so he could only give a solemn warning, and then waved his army south.

Fan Shisheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and immediately ordered Zeng Yuewei to leave Fengcheng immediately and go to Yichun to avoid the expansion of the situation and trigger a large area of frequent retaliation.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Peide, who had just returned from a meeting in Lushan, received An Yi's secret report, and was immediately stunned for a long time, he never imagined that An Yi would start so quickly and do it so skillfully, not only forcing Fan Shisheng's troops to evacuate all the counties south of Fuzhou, but also borrowing a knife to kill people and uproot the two powerful families of Fengcheng, which were originally immovable.

Zhu Peide put away the secret report, immediately ordered the Jin Handing Division to go to Fuzhou at full speed, and divided two regiments under his command to be stationed in Qingjiang and Fengcheng respectively to maintain the order of the local people's lives, and investigated the cause of the incident in the name of the Jiangxi Provincial Political Axe Military Committee, and went to Lao Nanchang to meet An Yi in person.

In the small building of An Yi in Rongjun New Village in the west of the city, Gu Changfeng, Ding Zhicheng, Zong Xingzhen and others who successfully completed the task gathered together with An Yi, Yang Bin and Zhan Huanqi, etc., more than 70 sacks and gold, silver and jewelry with a total value of more than 1.4 million yuan have been piled up in the room behind the corner of the stairs.

"Tiger Head, although the attack on Xu Zhirui's department has had an unexpected good effect, your actions have seriously violated military discipline!

If there is an accident in your temporary decision to attack Xu Zhirui's troops, it is difficult to estimate the serious impact caused, and it is possible that because of this reckless act without planning and guarantee, our entire plan will be completely exposed in front of various forces, not only will it be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the central Jiangxi region in the future, but Senior Zhu will also be affected by our mistakes, and the generals under his command will doubt our ability and reconsider the cooperative relationship between them, and the losses and negative impacts caused will be incalculable!

Therefore, I hope you can remember this lesson, remember the way of governing the army like a mountain, and also hope that the brothers will take warning, any luck and hot-headedness may bring great harm, tiger head, everyone, remember what I said today, you are the mainstay of our army, every decision, every action, has a huge impact, involving our common goal and the vital interests of thousands of brothers, remember! ”

"Yes!"

Listening to An Yi's words, the brothers were all shocked into a cold sweat, and in addition to the panic in their hearts, the original pride and pride on their faces were all replaced by fear.

Gu Changfeng nodded heavily, and said apologetically: "I was wrong! I will definitely keep this lesson firmly in mind in the future. ”

An Yi nodded and smiled slightly: "Don't blame yourself too much, sometimes you really need to deal with things according to the actual situation, the so-called generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, but this time it is really too risky, the merits and demerits will be offset!" But then you will have no military merit, but your brothers will receive the reward they deserve.

Lao Ding, Xingzhen, you buried the huge amount of money secretly, and led all the brothers to return lightly, the Deng family manor you attacked is far away in the southeast of Fengcheng, the march route is extremely complicated, and the distance is also long, in the case of a small number of people and extremely limited transportation capacity, it is difficult to safely transport back a large number of seizures, only bury it first, and then slowly get it back in the future is the best choice.

I have decided to give all the soldiers who participated in the war a meritorious service, and after the safe return of the huge amount of money, they will be rewarded according to the proportion of the capture. Nearly half of the casualties of the special brigade due to the repeated hard battles in Jiangbei still maintain strong morale and achieve excellent results, it is very rare, you have a lot of credit, thank you brothers for me, keep up the good work! ”

"Yes!"

Ding Zhicheng and Zong Xingzhen replied in unison, and their faces once again regained confidence and pride.

"Old Yang, how is the family settling down?" An Yi asked Yang Bin.

"The wife is virtuous, the children are filial, the teaching of the teacher, the school of school, there are things to do, where do you need anything to settle down? If you have a mission, just say it! Yang Bin smiled with satisfaction.

An Yi smiled slightly: "You are in charge, set up a ten-person inspection team attended by the deputy and instructors of each regiment, and constantly go to the Third Army of Senior Zhu to communicate with the instructors directly under him, many generals under Senior Zhu are friends of Baoding, and everyone gets along well."

The task of the inspection group is to inspect the training methods and plans of the instructor groups we have dispatched, and to maintain friendly relations with the officers and men of the Third Army as closely as possible, so as to establish a good relationship of mutual respect, solidarity and mutual assistance among fraternal units, and to exchange and learn from each other as much as possible, except for the contents of special training and special military theory, and we will need the support and cooperation of the Third Army for a long time to come, and even need the Third Army to fight for us. Therefore, we must let people see our sincerity and recognize our efforts. ”

"Understood!"

Yang Bin happily agreed.

"Tiger Head!" An Yi turned to Gu Changfeng.

"Here!"

Gu Changfeng sat upright and turned his head to look at An Yi.

"From tomorrow onwards, you and Xia Jian must be strictly responsible for the training and management of more than 1,300 brothers, quickly formulate a complete and detailed training plan and be responsible for its implementation, at the same time, you temporarily take on the post of teaching team leader, in accordance with the established procedures and standards, select 100 people from among the brothers to form a new teaching company, I will once again concurrently serve as the chief instructor, the teaching company will be intensively trained, the first period lasts for one month, after the training, these brothers will be divided into the security regiment as company commanders." An Yi's decision can be described as well-intentioned.

"Yes!"

Gu Changfeng readily agreed.

Before An Yi could speak when he turned to Ding Zhicheng, Lin Yaodong strode in and reported in a low voice: "Senior Zhu is coming, and he is waiting at Uncle Dao's house next door." ”

An Yi nodded, continued to discuss for a while, motioned for the brothers to disperse, changed into student clothes and hurried to Lao Dao's house, greeted Zhu Peide, Jin Handing, Wang Jun and others, and sat on the edge of Lao Dao to listen humbly.

Zhu Peide looked at An Yi with satisfaction, nodded approvingly, and smiled: "I and your Uncle Dao have been talking about your successful operation just now, but I didn't expect you to start so quickly and so productively.

By 3 p.m., Fan Xiaoquan's 16th Army had all left the central Jiangxi region and headed for western Jiangxi, and we not only easily stationed in Fuzhou, but also took the opportunity to take back Qingjiang, an important town in central Jiangxi that was not garrisoned by a single soldier, and once again brought this important hub and commercial port connecting Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian under its jurisdiction. ”

"Congratulations Uncle De! Congratulations to the generals! An Yi happily rejoiced.

Everyone laughed, and Jin Handing picked up the tea sent by the maid and handed it to An Yi:

"Brother, you are so powerful, I am ashamed of myself! Ha ha...... Tomorrow, Brother Yu will rush to Fuzhou, and want to bring the 50 instructors sent to our Ninth Army with him, and the elder brother knows that after the streamlining of our Ninth Army, there is now only one division left, and the four regiments and one artillery battalion under his command have just been reorganized, and the lack of training, military discipline and combat effectiveness are all problems. ”

An Yi smiled modestly: "It's no problem at all, Brother Jin has orders, and younger brother has no disobedience." ”

Zhu Peide nodded with satisfaction: "Virtuous nephew, there is something we would like to hear your opinion, at the Lushan Conference that ended today, Mr. Wang Zhaoming and the representatives of General Li Delin basically reached an agreement on the confluence of Ninghan, and the war in Nanjing, under the joint command of Bai Jiansheng and General He Jingzhi, has also changed from extremely passive to mutual confrontation, and is still engaged in fierce battles in the direction of Longtan.

As far as I know, the 44th Army under General Ye Kaixin's command has already gone to the battlefield for reinforcements, and it is estimated that it will only be a matter of time before the Sun army that crossed the river is defeated, but at present an unexpected situation has occurred, General Tang Mengxiao is stubborn and does not approve of the conditions for the Ning-Han confluence that have been initially reached, and this afternoon he again ordered Liu Xingjun and He Jianjun on the left and right sides of the river to advance 20 kilometers eastward, and the situation immediately became serious.

At the Lushan meeting in the morning, the representatives of General Li Delin openly accused Tang Mengxiao and Sun Chuanfang of secretly connecting with each other, conspiring to subvert the revolutionary political axe in Nanjing, and attempting to fall into the ground, and to join forces with Sun Jun's army to attack the various units of the revolutionary army that were fighting fiercely with Sun Jun's army in Nanjing, and claimed that they had initially grasped the evidence of Tang Mengxiao's collaboration with the enemy. I also had to go down the mountain early to return to Nanchang. ”

Zhu Peide was very surprised to see An Yi, nodded slightly and continued: "The problem then comes, one of Tang Mengxiao's divisions will be driven to Jiujiang tomorrow, and after General Zhang Xianghua's troops go south, our army only has General Zhu Shigui's Eighth Division in Jiujiang, and the two regiments of the Ninth Division in Hukou are streamlined by the Ninth Army, and only one regiment is left after being transferred to Nanchang. Tang Mengxiao's subordinates are in Jiujiang and are not leaving.

At this sensitive time, our army is in an extremely embarrassing situation, caught in the middle and in a dilemma, please ask the virtuous nephew to come up with an idea for us how to deal with it more appropriately? ”

This question stumped An Yi all of a sudden, he was very worried that Tang Shengzhi would also come to a conspiracy to attack or blame others, and Zhu Peide would completely offend Li Zongren, on the contrary, An Yi was not worried that Li Zongren, who was still fighting with Sun Chuanfang's army, would take the initiative to attack and make enemies on both sides.

After pondering for a moment, An Yi suggested: "If Uncle De and the generals think it's okay, they might as well send the instructor stationed in Nanchang to the front line of Jiujiang overnight, and at the same time strengthen their control, they will openly call Tang Mengxiao and General Li Delin to give up their differences, cooperate sincerely, and jointly fight the enemy with the great cause of the revolution.

If possible, Mr. Wang Zhaoming and Tan Yanhong's predecessors were invited to inspect Jiujiang, so that General Tang Mengxiao's headquarters had concerns, so that they could see that after Uncle De's troops had been strictly guarded, they would no longer dare to act rashly, and at the same time ordered the Hukou garrison to strengthen their defenses, and secretly contacted the person in charge of Li Delin's Hukou military station, so that he could strictly guard against possible crises.

Such multifaceted efforts may be able to stabilize the situation and avoid possible conflicts, and it can also tactfully show the stand of Uncle De and the officers and men of the Third Army who are not afraid of difficulties and have the courage to take responsibility. ”

"Sure enough, it's a handsome man with both wisdom and bravery! Brother Dao, what the virtuous nephew said coincides with the meaning of you and me, at such an age, there is such a thorough and unique insight, it is rare! ”

Zhu Peide laughed heartily, and the generals under his command also had a deep understanding of An Yi's ability.
