Five days later, Zhuang Jihua received a notice from Director Zhou that they would come to Qingxin to inspect the reorganized Sichuan army in the near future, and on the evening of the day he received the call, Zhuang Jihua secretly called Hu Qiru and Zheng Jiemin, and then, according to the list provided by the two, he uprooted the opposing officers in the Sichuan army in just one day, and all 31 officers, the highest rank was lieutenant colonel, and the lowest was a second lieutenant, and none of them slipped through the net.

Subsequently, Zhuang Jihua promoted Zheng Jiemin from the Third Company to serve as the presiding judge, and Hu Qiru served as the deputy judge, who was specially responsible for the trial of these 31 officers. Yu Peidi was shocked but also dared to slacken, and immediately ordered Xiao Yisu, the commander of the Second Army of the Sichuan Army, to serve as the supervisor, and his own guard chief Zhang Guoliang to be sent as the deputy judge.

The officers who were locked up in the temporary prison were desperate when they saw that all the participants had been arrested and none of them had escaped the net, and Zheng Jiemin and Hu Qiru again found out where they were meeting, who attended, and who said so, but in the end they showed their plans of action and signatures.

Yu Peidi, who got the evidence and confession, was so angry that he trembled, this group of bastards, I don't know the general situation, Yu Peidi scolded in his heart, scolded and scolded, but he couldn't ignore them, most of these people were his old subordinates, and they followed them from Sichuan to Guangdong, how much suffering they suffered and how much blood they shed, he couldn't lose this affection, and Xiong Kewu couldn't lose it.

As soon as Zhuang Jihua was arrested, Yu Peidi notified Xiong Kewu, Xiong Kewu asked him to tell him the progress at any time, and when he got the results, he immediately informed Xiong Kewu, Xiong Kewu heard that the evidence was conclusive, and there was no such thing as a trick during the interrogation, he was silent, knowing that things were difficult to do.

Yu Peidi put down the phone and went to Zhuang Jihua, but after seeing Zhuang Jihua, he didn't know where to start, Zhuang Jihua understood his current mood, in his previous life he had only seen this emotion in the movie, he didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands, this is a flesh-and-blood feeling.

Zhuang Jihua said to Yu Peidi heavily: "I can't ignore this kind of thing, but please rest assured general, I, Zhuang Jihua, am not an indiscriminate murderer, I will strive not to kill anyone, and try to find a way out for them." ”

Yu Peidi was suspicious, and Zhuang Jihua saw that he didn't believe it, so he explained what he said.

"You may know that the Military Commission will set up an engineering unit, which will not hold guns, but only engage in construction, and I can send them all to this unit." Yu Peidi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to let it go like this.

"Then where is Commander Chiang...?" Yu Peidi asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'll say it." Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "But they have to suffer a little." Yu Peidi looked at Zhuang Jihua unexpectedly, and didn't know what he meant.

"They won't be able to come out again until the reorganization is complete."

"That's nature." Of course, Yu Peidi understands that if they reorganize other troops, it would be good if this group of people could live half of their lives.

Yu Peidi turned around and told Xiong Kewu what Zhuang Jihua said, Xiong Kewu didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua was so powerful, he only sighed on the phone: "Huangpu should be prosperous, with this Zhuang Jihua Huangpu Bixing, it is best for you to treat him with sincerity." ”

Then Zhuang Jihua began a big move: reorganize the troops, his plan was to first draw the best personnel from each army to form a regiment, and then split this regiment into two regiments, and then transfer sub-excellent personnel from each army to supplement these two regiments, and then split into four regiments, and so on, and finally the rest went to the engineering troops.

When Chiang Kai-shek and Director Zhou came, the first regiment had already been formed, and after Chiang Kai-shek inspected the first regiment, he was very satisfied, and Director Zhou asked Zhuang Jihua: "The first thing to choose soldiers is military or political?" ”

"Political Thought." Zhuang Jihua replied unequivocally.

"Oh, I heard that you only look at military affairs in the Seventh Company." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly.

"The Seventh Company is different," Zhuang Jihua explained, "and the Seventh Company was transformed from a peasant to a soldier, so the military priority; Here is the transformation from a soldier to a revolutionary soldier, so the military takes precedence. ”

Chiang Kai-shek and Director Zhou nodded at the same time, admitting that what Zhuang Jihua said was reasonable. Subsequently, Zhuang Jihua reported his thoughts on the handling of those conspiring officers to Chiang Kai-shek.

"You want to forgive them all?" Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised, Director Zhou was also surprised, looking at Zhuang Jihua, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes gradually became stern: "Why? ”

"Report to the principal, that's what the students think." Zhuang Jihua replied honestly: "These officers are just doing things with the old ideas, this kind of thinking is gang thinking, warlord thinking; In fact, I think most of them can be transformed, but there is no time now, killing them is very simple, one bullet per person, a total of only thirty-one, but this will leave a very bad sequelae, which is not conducive to the reorganization of other troops in the future, and these people have been in the Sichuan army for many years, from Sichuan to Guangdong, there are many friends and subordinates in the army, and killing them is not good for the army's morale. ”

"Let the assassins of you go?" Chiang Kai-shek asked suspiciously. Xiong Kewu had already approached him and pleaded for these people, hoping to let them go home, but Chiang Kai-shek was just Xiong Kewu's affection, and promised to be as lenient as possible, but this did not include those who assassinated Zhuang Jihua.

"Yes, it's no fun to kill them, let them all go. But only this once, next time I won't arrest anyone. Zhuang Jihua replied calmly, but his words contained strong confidence.

"Okay, since you have this arrogance, I think you can." Director Zhou first expressed his support, looking at Zhuang Jihua's eyes, both appreciative and regretful.

As soon as Director Zhou said this, of course, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't afford not to lose the arrogance of his students, and he immediately smiled and said: "Haha, Cultural Revolution, you now know more and more about how to lead soldiers." Okay, let's also come here. Xiong Kewu certainly didn't expect that the Cultural Revolution would be so bold. ”

"What kind of anger do I have, if I have a fox and a fake tiger, without the principal and the national political axe to support me in the back, I can only hide in a corner and gasp for breath in this troubled world." Zhuang Jihua said lightly.

After dinner, Director Zhou left quietly, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua both knew that Director Zhou convened a meeting of [***] members, and Chiang Kai-shek patted Zhuang Jihua on the shoulder: "Cultural Revolution, this time Director Zhou and I are here to set your heart for the army, you can rest assured and bold, whoever is disobedient will be severely punished." ”

Zhuang Jihua breathed a heavy sigh of relief, Chiang Kai-shek finally did not forget his demands, the Youth Army Association and Sun Society have begun to show signs of trouble, Sun Society accused the Youth Army Society of taking advantage of the reorganization and propaganda [***] proposition, and the Youth Army Association in turn accused Sun Society of leaning right and opposing the three major policies of the premier. Public controversies have occurred several times, but it is only because Jiang Xianyun and Deng Wenyi have already instructed them to do so that no bigger incident has been caused. Zhuang Jihua was worried all day long, and every time he went out of the army, he had to emphasize unity to all departments and emphasize seeking common ground while reserving differences.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek ordered in the form of a written order to temporarily suspend the activities of the Youth Army Association and the Sun Society during the reorganization period, and those involved in the fights and brawls were to be expelled from the army without asking for reason. Among them, the Kuomintang member will report to the Kuomintang Party Department for expulsion from the party, and the [***] member will recommend that the [***] Guangdong District Committee expel him from the party.

The officers attending the two sessions were all very different from each other, and the [***] members among them were even more silent, because yesterday Director Zhou had already announced to them the order of the Guangdong District CPC Committee, and all [***] members who provoked contradictions between the two sessions during the reorganization period and had a major impact on the reorganization would be expelled from the party.

This was followed by a stern speech by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Affinity, sincerity and unity is our Whampoa school motto, but since the establishment of the two sessions, the two sessions of the students quarrel and fight has become commonplace, the school motto is left behind, the purpose of the establishment of the two sessions is to unite the youth, propaganda revolution, but the result is the opposite, into a split youth, split the revolutionary camp, if so, the two sessions might as well be canceled. You are my students, and I am very sad that I did not teach you well, but it is not too late to make amends, and some black sheep have been driven out of the revolutionary ranks, and the revolutionary ranks have become purer, and the revolution can still be carried on. …。 ”

Seeing off Director Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage, Zhuang Jihua finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this Shang Fang sword, no one dared to make trouble, these people were not afraid of military law or party discipline.

However, what Zhuang Jihua did not expect was that two days after Chiang Kai-shek left, Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai and Xiong Kewu came again.

These soldiers were already veterans, and some of them were selected from various armies for good political performance, and Wang Jingwei was naturally very satisfied with the performance. Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai are both laymen, Xiong Kewu is an insider, and he is very familiar with his troops, but he didn't expect that these soldiers have changed so much after Zhuang Jihua's training. Whether it is formation or cross-country tactics, the soldiers are agile and energetic, and whether they walk, stand, or sit in the barracks, they are very different from before. He quietly asked Yu Peidi how they did it. Yu Peidi replied softly, in fact, there is nothing wonderful, it is ideological education, in Zhuang Jihua's words, to let the soldiers know that they are fighting for themselves. Xiong Kewu was stunned.

Seeing that Xiong Kewu's expression was a little wrong, Wang Jingwei asked with a smile: "Jinfan, I don't know how to soldier, what do you think of this unit." Xiong Kewu smiled bitterly and said: "I have led troops for more than ten years, and I have never trained such an army. After speaking, his demeanor was gloomy.

Just when Liao Zhongkai accompanied Wang Jingwei to inspect the reorganization of the Sichuan army in Qingxin, the conspiracy in Guangzhou was brewing again.
