"Isn't the highest military body of our national government the Military Council? There is a Beiping branch in Beiping, why doesn't Xinjiang have a Xinjiang branch? The commander-in-chief can be the chairman of this Xinjiang military branch! With this name, we can first give our volunteers all the grain and grass baggage. When will we find a capable person, and the commander-in-chief will step down and resign, and then we won't just leave if we want to, who can stop us? ”

Chairman of the Xinjiang Military Branch? As soon as this name came out, everyone present was dazzled! The title of Chairman is much more magnificent than any security commander! Especially Zheng Runcheng, those two eyes are even brighter and scary!

Commander of the Security Guard, from the name it sounds a bit of a local warlord. How majestic is the chairman of the Military Commission? How stylish? This is the high-end atmosphere on the grade, referred to as high-end!

In particular, the chairman of this military branch coincides with the establishment of the central government, which is simply too much in line with Zheng Runcheng's thoughts! If it weren't for the fact that he still remembered the anti-Japanese resistance and the northeast in his heart, he would have wanted to stay in Xinjiang for the post of chairman of the military branch committee!

"Good! Hu Fei is worthy of being a wise general of my volunteer army, and he solved Zheng's biggest problem in one sentence! When I return to the mainland in the future, I will definitely report to the central government and give Captain Hu a great credit! "It's hard to say how many times you have made great contributions, and Hu Feili has too many credits, in short, it's a great credit.

The next day, Zheng Runcheng took Hu Fei to the provincial government. Since the idea of setting up a military branch was put forward by Hu Fei, when it was brought to the provincial government for discussion, Zheng Runcheng naturally hoped that Hu Fei would also be present. In case someone asks any difficult questions, Hu Fei, the initiator, can solve them in person.

Facts have proved that Zheng Runcheng's scruples are completely overwhelmed. At a high-level meeting of the provincial government, as soon as he came up with the idea of establishing a Xinjiang branch of the Military Commission, he immediately received a round of applause! These politicians attending the meeting didn't care whether he was the commander of the security department or the chairman of the military branch committee, wasn't it just a title! Anyway, Zheng Runcheng promised to stay in Xinjiang, and their goal was achieved!

The application telegram, drafted by Liu Wenlong, interim chairman of the Xinjiang provincial government and signed by both Chairman Liu and Zheng Runcheng, was sent out on the same day. Apply for the establishment of the Xinjiang branch of the Military Commission and apply for the appointment of General Zheng Runcheng as the temporary chairman of the Xinjiang Military Branch!

According to Liu Wenlong's meaning, there was no need to add the word temporary at all, but Zheng Runcheng considered that he would resign in the near future to fight against Japan, and the resignation of the chairman of the Military Commission would have a bad impact, so he insisted on adding the word temporary to the telegram of application.

The order of the Nanjing Military Commission came the next day. Agreed to establish the Xinjiang Military Branch, and agreed to Zheng Runcheng to serve as the temporary chairman of the Xinjiang Military Branch! At the same time, Zheng Run was promoted to lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army!

The military rank of the chairman of the military branch is only a major general, which is obviously a bit low, and those senior members of the military committee discussed it and simply promoted it to a lieutenant general!

In fact, he should have been promoted to general. Mainly because Zheng Runcheng's original military rank was too low. He was temporarily promoted to brigade commander by Su Bingwen before the start of the retreat, and before that his official position was colonel and regimental commander.

The jump from a colonel to a general seems to be a bit big. This lieutenant general is actually a transition. If General Zheng can stay in the Xinjiang Military Branch for three or five years, it will be logical for the lieutenant general to become a general. It can be said that from this moment on, Zheng Runcheng's career has become a Yangguan Avenue.

At the beginning of his tenure, the interim chairman of the Xinjiang Military Branch carried out drastic reforms, especially a major equipment update for the volunteers under his command!

The military uniform was replaced by a unified national army uniform, and the rifle was replaced by a medium formal. Small artillery was equipped to the battalion, and steel armored vehicles were equipped to the regiment! At that time, Xinjiang and the Soviet Union had close contacts, and many Soviet-made weapons were purchased, and steel armored vehicles were one of them.

Of course, what Zheng Yuncheng equipped the Volunteers with was not the armored car or tank we imagined, it was an armored truck with a heavy machine gun. It was this rudimentary armored truck that was already considered a superweapon in the war of that time. In the subsequent war in Xinjiang, this kind of steel armored vehicle became an invincible weapon of war on the battlefield.

When Zheng Yuncheng sat on the throne of the chairman of the military branch to seek benefits for the volunteers, Jin Shuren, the loser of the coup, fled to Tacheng. The Soviet Union sent a special envoy to meet with the ousted head of Xinjiang and said that he could unconditionally help Jin Shuren restore his dominance in Xinjiang.

Jin Shuren told the Soviet envoy: The April 12 coup is China's internal affair and does not need external interference. The envoy returned in a huff.

On April 24, Jin Shuren was electrified in Tacheng. Generals from all over Xinjiang sent telegrams one after another, urging them to stay in Tacheng and negotiate with their neighbors in order to obtain help and wait for an opportunity to counterattack the provincial capital.

Jin Shuren politely rejected the kindness of generals on the grounds of internal contradictions and not allowing outsiders to make profits. He also sent to the generals and chief executives of all parts of Xinjiang: "I can't try to be quick for a while and leave a ridicule for all generations. You should put the place first, and don't think about me. The melon of Huangtai is unbearable to pick again. It is hoped that all the troops will be strictly restrained, work together in harmony, and solidify the border defense, and after the power of the local government, they will leave without hesitation. Later, he went to the mainland under the pretense of going to the Soviet Union.

"This Jin Shuren is a man with backbone!" Hu Fei sighed regretfully when he took Jin Shuren's power. Liu Dong, who was sitting on the other side of the table, nodded again and again.

"Brother Fei, the chairman of the committee has announced his resignation!" A person ran in in a panic outside, and shouted such a sentence without standing firmly.

Hu Fei just poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and suddenly heard this sentence and was shocked, and opened his mouth, "Poof!" "One bite sprayed this man all over the head.

The man took two steps back sharply, and wiped a few handfuls of his face with his hands, his face full of embarrassment.

"Tianxiao, why are you so careless? Quickly rub, rub! Liu Dong picked up a piece of cloth and rubbed it twice on Gou Tianxiao's face.

Gou Tianxiao stretched out his hand to take the cloth, and as soon as he wiped it, he felt that something was wrong. When I looked down, I was holding a rag that wiped the table! It's so dirty that you can't even see its true colors, and there's an indescribable weird smell on the rag! Did you wipe your face with this thing just now? Even if Gou Tianxiao is not usually particular, he felt a twitch in his stomach at this time, shook his hand and threw the rag, and glared at Liu Dong fiercely.

Spit out the wine, Hu Fei curiously watched the two people around him perform a sketch. Seeing that the sketch was over, Hu Fei asked Gou Tianxiao: "Tianxiao, what's going on?" Why did the chairman resign? When? ”

The chairman of the committee here is not the one from Nanjing, Hu Fei is talking about Zheng Runcheng, chairman of the Xinjiang Military Branch.

"Just now! As soon as I heard about it, I hurried over to report you. Sheng Shicai, the commander-in-chief of the East Road Bandits, led the victorious army back to Dihua, and the chairman led the generals to the city gate to greet them. ”

"I know this, I also followed when Sheng Shicai entered the city." Hu Fei waved his hand impatiently, "To get to the point, why did Zheng Runcheng resign?" ”
