Chapter 15: Refusal to be promoted

After listening to Ying Zhanbin's report, Zheng Runcheng was so angry that he slapped the table and glared, and lost his temper. In particular, there were two regiment commanders of the Naturalized Army standing next to them, and the friendly troops saw that it was their subordinates who let Jin Shuren go, which especially made General Zheng feel faceless.

Jin Shuren has already run away, and it is impossible for anyone who loses his temper to chase him back. Bapingut and Antonov didn't know how to persuade Zheng Yuncheng, but Liu Wenlong, the director of education, knew.

"General Zheng doesn't need to be in a hurry to get angry, this is also the unfinished life of Jin Shuren Yang, and the will of heaven is like this!" If you can't kill a person, you can say that his life is not over, which is also a common rhetorical device used by the ancients. Liu Wenlong said these words not only to give Zheng Runcheng a step, but also to invisibly give Hu Fei a favor. Just say a word to kill two birds with one stone, this is the speech art of a cultural person like Liu Wenlong.

Zheng Runcheng has stepped down, and of course this matter will not be pursued. The next step is to clean up the law and order in Dihua City, restore the normal order of the city, and let the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and return to the normal production and life of the past.

A country cannot be left without a king for a day, and no province can be without a ruler all the time. After Jin Shuren left, the candidate for the chairman of Xinjiang Province was immediately put on the agenda. Isn't the purpose of driving out Jin Shuren just to elect another virtuous person to govern Xinjiang?

The main leaders involved in the April 12 coup gathered to discuss the election of the chairman of Xinjiang Province. After discussing and discussing, everyone finally elected Liu Wenlong, director of the Provincial Department of Education, as the interim chairman of Xinjiang Province, and waited for the formal appointment of the central authorities, and Liu Wenlong was the official chairman of Xinjiang Province.

Once the chairman of the provincial government has been chosen, it is time to discuss the choice of the military chief. In the past, the commander-in-chief of security in Xinjiang Province was also Jin Shuren, and now the post of commander-in-chief of security has also become vacant.

Liu Wenlong was originally a learned and cultured person, but he knew nothing about military affairs. Besides, the big guys don't want to elect another chairman of a dictatorial province like Kim Shu-in, who has the military and political power to do it. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of security must appoint someone else.

There are only a few generals who participated in the coup, Bapingut and Antonov are just regimental commanders, and the identities of these two are not suitable to serve as military commanders of a province, they are Russians! In addition to the two commanders of the naturalized army, there is only one Zheng Runcheng, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army.

Zheng Runcheng is the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, the country's anti-Japanese hero, and there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his hands, such a person is of course the best candidate to serve as the provincial security commander!

At the election meeting, Liu Wenlong, the interim provincial chairman, nominated the participants, and the delegates collectively agreed to jointly elect Zheng Runcheng as the commander-in-chief of Xinjiang Provincial Security! As a result, Zheng Runcheng didn't do it! The commander-in-chief of the security of a province, this high position that countless people have thought of with their heads sharpened was sent to his eyes in vain, and Zheng Runcheng didn't even look at it. With a wave of their hands, whoever likes to do it, I won't do it!

The members of the new government asked Zheng Yuncheng, the position of commander-in-chief of security is good, why don't you do it? Zheng Runcheng said: I am not from Xinjiang, I came to Xinjiang just to pass through, and my volunteers and I are going to enter the customs to fight the Japanese! The position of Commander-in-Chief of Security is quite high, but it is not suitable for me. You look good, General Zheng is not uncommon!

Liu Wenlong, the provisional provincial chairman, Tao Mingyue, the new secretary general of the provincial government, Li Xiaotian, the president of the provincial aviation school, and Chen Zhong, the chief of staff of the superintendent camp, took turns to persuade Zheng Runcheng: Xinjiang has just undergone great changes, and the shape is very unstable. Even if you, General Zheng, don't be the commander-in-chief of this security, for the sake of Xinjiang's long-term peace and stability, you will stay here to help us take charge of the military assembly for a period of time, right? When will you resign when you have the right candidate, right?

Zheng Runcheng has made up his mind and resolutely disagrees with staying in Xinjiang as a military commander. But if the volunteers want to enter the customs and participate in the war, they must have enough military supplies, and he does not agree to be the commander-in-chief of the security, so people will not give the volunteers so much food, grass and ammunition! I have enough to eat every day, and if I want to march for a long time, I don't have it! These politicians used food, grass and ammunition to tie up the ambition of the volunteers to enter the war of resistance.

The gang came to Zheng Runcheng for a meeting at the provincial government almost every day, and the content of the meeting was only two: one was to persuade Zheng Runcheng to stay in Xinjiang, and the other was to ask Zheng Runcheng for food and money from the new nouveau riche in the government. Pulling and pulling, these two things have been delayed for a long time, and there has never been a conclusion.

Zheng Runcheng was bored, and when he went back, he gathered the generals of the volunteer army to discuss this matter. It's really not going to work, let's just don't need food and ammunition, just drive into the customs to resist the Japanese! All the way from the northeast through the Soviet Union, thousands of miles short of food and clothing, didn't we also come over? I don't believe that it is more difficult to walk from Xinjiang to the interior than to march in the ice and snow on the territory of the Soviet Union!

None of the generals who came to the meeting were silent. No one wants to live that hungry life anymore! Coming back from the USSR was forced! If you don't leave, you'll starve to death! What now? can be fed and clothed, who wants to live that kind of hard life of hunger and cold again? Besides, now that we have returned to China and have food and clothing, why should we go into the customs hungry?

Zheng Runcheng complained for a long time, and then told his own thoughts again, but the comrades-in-arms who had shared weal and woe with him all the way were collectively silent! Oh, it's not embarrassing to make Zheng Runcheng blush and have a thick neck! Do I want to resist Japan, I want to fight back to the Northeast, am I wrong?

Zheng Runcheng was angry in his heart, his eyes were looking back and forth on the generals, looking at it, huh? He saw Hu Fei! I saw Hu Fei with his legs crossed and a cigarette in his hand, as if this military meeting had nothing to do with him!

"Hu Fei, you say, what should you do about this matter?" Others are content with the status quo and don't want to forge ahead, I don't know what's going on, Zheng Runcheng actually has some expectations for Hu Fei, as if Hu Fei can always help him solve problems at critical moments.

Hu Fei looked at Zheng Runcheng in wonder, and then looked at the generals around him who had already looked at him, and he was a little depressed. There are so many people here, why don't you call my name? But the words of the commander-in-chief have already been spoken, and Hu Fei can't answer if he doesn't want to.

"Commander-in-chief, everyone, I see, there's nothing to be embarrassed about here." Hu Fei's first sentence gave everyone a reassurance, and at the same time, it also made the general of the camp more interested in his next words, no one knows what kind of tricks Hu Fei, who can always create a miracle, can come up with this time.

"Provincial Chairman, don't they just want the commander-in-chief to be their military commander? That's a good thing, why not do it? According to me, the commander-in-chief will do it! ”

Seeing that Zheng Runcheng's eyes widened, Hu Fei waved his hand to signal him to be calm, and then said: "Our volunteers are going to enter the customs to resist the war, fight with the Japanese devils, and go back to the Northeast!" Then this commander-in-chief of security will not be able to do it. ”
