"Any violation of state laws and regulations will be severely punished, from today onwards, all security regiments participating in the training will not be allowed to leave the barracks without reason, and the 10th Division of Honor will form a military police picket, and all violations of military law and disturbance of the people must be severely punished."

The Tongren and Dushan Security Corps were all wiped out, the regiment commander was killed, the local gentry who colluded with them were uprooted, and the serious Luosha River each led a special task force to Tongren and Dushan.

The security regiment of Guiyang training was also shocked by this news, Dushan's Weng Duyan and Tongren's Yu Scar are both well-known figures in Guizhou, both of which are close to the border of Guizhou, surnamed Yu and surnamed Weng, used to be habitual bandits, Guizhou army encircled and suppressed, they ran to Hunan and Guangxi, Wang Jialie had no choice but to recruit An, after being incorporated into the security group, the two smuggled opium, set up tax cards privately, and made a lot of money, no one could take them, I didn't expect it to be planted this time, Zhuang Jihua's means are so fierce, so thunderous, Everyone was stunned.

After receiving the telegrams from Tongren and Dushan, Zhuang Jihua immediately published in the newspaper the investigation report on the killings of the Tongren and Dushan work teams and the methods for handling them, and immediately convened a meeting of all the heads of the security regiment at the security headquarters.

In the reorganization steps announced by Zhuang Jihua, the first is discipline, followed by combat skills, after these two items, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be eliminated, the remaining elite soldiers will be mixed, all the members of the security regiment will be dispersed, all into the 112th Army, the provincial security command will rebuild ten security regiments, and the last one of the unified deployment of the southwest battalion shocked all the regiment commanders who attended, they didn't expect the final result to be like this, but none of them dared to stand up and protest. Looking at the low voice of discussion below, and the eyes that dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly.

"If there is any problem, you can ask it now, now the speaker is not guilty, the decision at this meeting is the final decision, you can say any questions, I, Zhuang Jihua, am not a barbaric, domineering and unreasonable person."

The noisy voices in the audience disappeared suddenly, and the regiment commanders exchanged glances with each other, but still no one dared to speak, and a voice came out from the back row for a long time: "Commander Zhuang, you have made great achievements, and Zhang admires you, but our Tongzi Security Regiment is a supplementary soldier of the 103rd Division, if we are incorporated into the 112th Army, I don't know if Commander He knows?" ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Zhang Jiugen, the commander of He in his mouth was the former commander of the 103rd Division, He Zhizhong, this unit made great contributions in the late stage of the Songhu Campaign, and after the war, He Zhizhong was promoted to the commander of the 86th Army, and the security regiments in several nearby counties of Tongzi were all reserve soldiers of his troops.

"The replenishment of the front-line troops is arranged by the state, and the 86th Army is no exception, and Commander He is also a [***] general, so he naturally knows this truth." Zhuang Jihua replied quietly, it is expected that there is a connection between these security regiments and the generals of the Qianjun Army, but in Zhuang Jihua's opinion, this is nothing at all.

Guizhou is a typical poor mountain and bad water, the local people are brave and aggressive, are excellent mountain infantry, the reason for the weak combat effectiveness of the Guizhou army is actually weak generals, poor command ability, poor equipment, the reason for poor equipment is because Guizhou is poor and poor, soldiers generally smoke opium, the reason for smoking opium is also very simple, half of the military salary of the Guizhou army is opium.

The mountains in Guizhou are vertical and horizontal, there are eight mountains, one water and one field, and the mountains have closed the exchanges between Guizhou and other provinces, so the relationship between the region and the clan here is closer than that of other provinces, and what Zhuang Jihua wants now is to completely break this closed surname, first disarm the clans here, and then communicate the transportation around the country and strengthen economic ties.

Some of the people present understood, Zhuang Jihua was telling them that he didn't care about their backstage at all, and the backstage they regarded as relying on was nothing in his eyes.

But some people didn't understand, so after the meeting ended, when they returned to the barracks, they got together to discuss countermeasures, and Zhang Jiugen and Zheng Wei, the head of the Zunyi Security Regiment, were also invited by them.

"What kind of training troops, just want to eat us, damn."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I see that we will appeal to the Military Commission together and find Minister He, who is from Guizhou, and will definitely help us speak."

"Lao Tzu just doesn't do it, see what he can do to Lao Tzu!"

Everyone talked about it, but Zhang Jiugen and Zheng Wei smiled relatively bitterly, they were a little unclear, these people really didn't know who Zhuang Jihua was or what plans he had.

"Brother Jiugen, all of you here are from Guizhou, and outsiders are not allowed to fiddle with it, let's send a telegram to Commander He, tell him and let him make the decision for us."

Zhang Jiugen smiled coldly in his heart, took two puffs of dry smoke, and spewed out a puff of white smoke, he was clear at the moment, these people were still begging, this was to come forward to find He Zhizhong and confront Zhuang Jihua. It's a pity that he won't be fooled by this, and they don't ask who Zhuang Jihua is, even if He Yingqin has to give three points of face.

"I, didn't I say it just now, people don't buy it." Zhang Jiugen made up his mind not to come forward, of course Zheng Wei knew that Zhang Jiugen would not come forward, and of course he would not come forward.

"The power of Zhuang Wenge is too strong, and Commander He can't help it, I'll show you a clear way," Zheng Wei said slowly: "If you want to save the situation, there is only one person, you go to Commander Gu, he is currently in the city." ”

Gu Zhenglun resigned from all positions in order to come out of Nanjing, and after the victory in Nanjing, he became the laughing stock of the national political axe, he only felt shameless to stay in Wuhan, and ran back to his hometown Guizhou, where he lived a secluded life in Guiyang City.

Zheng Wei and Zhang Jiugen have more contact with the outside, and the defense area of the two of them is also close to Qijiang, and they know a little more about Zhuang Jihua.

"Brother Zheng is right, let's go find Commander Gu."

In addition to Gu Zhenglun, the second Gu Zhenggang was the minister of social affairs, and the third Gu Zhengding served as the vice minister of the Ministry of Railways, and he was one of the most prominent families in Guizhou Province and had great prestige among the people of Guizhou.

The idea was Zheng Wei's idea, but Zheng Wei and Zhang Jiugen did not come forward at all, both of them made up their minds to take a look, and secretly contacted Wang Guanglie, He Zhizhong and Bai Huizhang respectively, informed them of the situation in Guizhou, and asked for instructions on how to deal with it.

Gu Zhenglun was recuperating at home, and when he heard his family report that the leaders of the security regiment asked to see him, he didn't think much about it and told the housekeeper to close the door and thank the guests, Zhuang Jihua's toughness He learned in Nanjing, and there were probably few people in the Kuomintang who dared not to give Chiang Kai-shek face, and he also paid a great price when he came out of Nanjing. Zhuang Jihua was in charge of the southwest, which was Chiang Kai-shek's idea, on the one hand, to completely integrate the southwest into the central government and eliminate the remaining local forces; On the other hand, it is necessary to continue economic reform and ensure the supply of goods at the front. Therefore, Zhuang Jihua's move will definitely be supported by Chiang Kai-shek, and he Gu Zhenglun will not touch his mold at this time.

The regiment leaders didn't expect to eat the closed door, they were stunned, looking at the closed door, these people understood a little, Gu Zhenglun didn't want to conflict with Zhuang Jihua, and now they felt cold in their hearts.

Zhuang Jihua didn't care about their feelings, and soon after the arrival of the 10th Honor Division, Huang Botao led the regiment directly under the military headquarters to Guiyang. Huang Botao received a telegram from Xia Yanglin on the road, knowing that the current situation in Guiyang was grim, he immediately handed over the military department to the chief of staff, and led his direct team to Guiyang overnight.

"Brother Huanran, you came too timely," Zhuang Jihua's heart finally fell into his stomach, and when Huang Botao arrived, he could hand over all the training to him: "Let me introduce you, this is General Chen Mingshu, the general staff of the Southwest Battalion." ”

Chen Mingshu came from Tongren, after all the Tongren work team sacrificed, Chen Mingshu went to Tongren to deal with the matter, Zhao Hanjie cleaned up the Tongren security group, he rushed back, only one day earlier than Huang Botao arrived in Guiyang.

Chen Mingshu is a man of the year in the Republic of China, Huang Botao is an unknown little person compared to him, the gap between the two identities is too big, Huang Botao hurriedly saluted Chen Mingshu, and Chen Mingshu replied without care.

"Director Huang, you're not slow to come, but it's just right, I'll leave this mess to you." Chen Mingshu said lightly: "I have more experience in the reorganization of the troops during the Cultural Revolution, and when I was in Guangzhou, I organized tens of thousands of Sichuan troops, and later I reorganized the Sichuan army in Sichuan, so you can learn from him." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly at Huang Botao, Chen Mingshu's words were old-fashioned, and he put himself in the position of a superior, but no one could say anything, he had this qualification.

"Brother Huanran, I want to transfer some people with combat experience from your troops, the security command has decided to form 10 new security regiments, and in addition, we will also set up a reserve, the work is complicated, I don't have much time and energy to manage the reorganization, and I will rely on you in the future." Zhuang Jihua said as he led Huang Botao inside.

Huang Botao never understood why Zhuang Jihua valued himself so much, his promotion can be described as exceptional, and now he is likely to be the commander of the 112th Army, so for Zhuang Jihua, he is grateful in his heart, and he dies for his confidant.

Similarly, Chen Mingshu is not clear, Huang Botao is not visible at all among the [***] generals, a large number of Huangpu generals in the Central Army have emerged in the civil war, and after two years of the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing, Xuzhou, and Yucheng, the Huangpu generals are shining and radiant, and there is no problem at all in promoting a military commander from them.

"Gong Chen, the only thing I can do with this security group is to please." Zhuang Jihua said quietly, Chen Mingshu smiled meaningfully: "When I said the Cultural Revolution, you know that you are lazy, okay, I promise to do this, it's better to do something than nothing." ”

After saying that, Zhuang Jihua sighed at his back: "General Scholar, you have both the calmness of a soldier and the madness of a scholar, how did these two temperaments come together?" It's weird, weird. ”

Huang Botao didn't speak, Zhuang Jihua and Chen Mingshu were at a higher level than him, one was Chiang Kai-shek's henchman, and the other had long been fighting with Chiang Kai-shek, besides, he had spent half his life in the rain of bullets, and he didn't understand this kind of thing.
