Chapter 913 shook the crowd with a sharp blow

When Chiang Kai-shek sent a special envoy to Syria on a special plane, Lao Shoudao, a high-ranking and powerful senior figure in the An Jiajun, also boarded the special plane and rushed back to Nanchang, where the situation was chaotic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ou Yaoting, who was entrusted by his beloved son-in-law, Chen Cheng and Cai Zhonghua, who had An Yi's secret letter, also rushed to Nanchang with their secretaries and entourage.

At this time, the situation in Nanchang was far more serious than An Yi expected, including all the factories of the Jiangnan Group, the industrial and commercial enterprises had stopped working, and the "spontaneous" strike held by the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, which had a vital interest in the Jiangnan Group, in support of An Jiajun, had already affected the whole city in a short period of time, and tens of thousands of teachers and students of the three universities who were about to take summer vacation had already taken to the streets to demonstrate and demonstrate, and hundreds of industrial workers gathered together from all directions to join the growing procession under the organization and instigation of the trade union.

In Nanchang, where the garrison and gendarmerie units were mobilized to encircle the military airfield, the teachers and students of various schools, industrial and commercial workers, and poor citizens suddenly launched huge demonstrations under the efficient organization of progressive groups, both overt and covert.

By half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the procession in Nanchang had increased to more than 80,000 people at an alarming rate, and the students and workers who were becoming more and more agitated had surrounded the Nanchang camp, the Jiangxi Provincial Government, the military police headquarters and other military and government organs, and the marching slogans of "oppose dictatorship," "oppose power," and "want democracy and freedom" gradually changed and soon developed into "Down with Chiang Kai-shek," "Down with the tyranny and severely punish corrupt officials," and "Severely punish traitors who signed the "Songhu Agreement" and the "Tanggu Agreement"......

At 1:40 p.m., Lao Shoudao, who stepped off the plane, learned that the situation was out of control, and immediately became very anxious, and in the office of the airport garrison regiment, he issued a death order to more than ten leaders, including Sun Xiaowang, commander of the garrison brigade, who came to greet him, Ye Qingfeng, chief of staff of the garrison brigade, who was the first to instigate the people to march on the streets after the airport was surrounded, and the chairman and vice president of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce:

"I don't care what method you use, we must let our officers and soldiers return to the barracks, let all the workers return to the factories and homes, let nearly 10,000 teachers and students return to the campus, and let all the shops in Lao Nanchang open for business, otherwise you will bear all the consequences!"

Realizing that there was likely to be a large-scale bloodshed, the leaders walked away in a blink of an eye, Lao Shoudao called Ye Qingfeng and quietly ordered him to immediately get in touch with Xu Yichen, the head of the Nanchang Intelligence Station, and try to inform friends from all walks of life in Nanchang City to stop the demonstration immediately, otherwise things will develop out of control.

Ye Qingfeng took the order and left, and Lao Shoudao was relieved to join Ou Yaoting, who was smiling and watching, and followed Tang Chuan, the head of the garrison regiment, and others to the backyard to apologize to the seventeen foreign experts, and then walked to the wide runway together to comfort and visit the more than 800 officers and soldiers who had been assembled.

Lao Shoudao, who had never spoken in public, stood in front of more than 800 soldiers who were heavily armed and soaked in sweat, and nodded excitedly:

"Brethren, you are all good! I have just returned from Syria, and your commander An Yi, chief of staff Ye Cheng, as well as Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian, Xie Chi, Ding Zhicheng, Li Fuqiang, Deng Bin and all other commanders, have entrusted me with a few words to you: Brothers, you are the best soldiers of our army, an excellent unit with the glorious tradition and tenacious spirit of the 'model battalion', and the pride of the whole army. ”

More than 800 soldiers were excited, applause was like thunder, and their faces were full of pride.

After a brief lecture, Tang Chuan led several lieutenants to send Lao Shoudao and Ou Yaoting to the car, and the moment the car door closed, Tang Chuan bent down and asked in a nervous whisper: "Uncle Dao, the little nephew has disobeyed military discipline, how will the commander deal with the little nephew?" ”

Lao Shoudao glanced at Tang Chuan, and replied with a dark face: "What's the hurry?" The Judge Advocate General's Office flew over soon, didn't you know when the time came? ”

"Wait! Uncle Dao, you can reveal a little bit if you are old, the little nephew ...... in his heart" Tang Chuan was so anxious that he was about to stutter again.

Lao Shoudao sighed: "I don't know what your commander will do with you, but it stands to reason that you have more merit, and many commanders have pleaded for your kid to say good things, it is estimated that there will be no big deal." But you kid have to pay attention, your team has just won the victory in the confrontation with several times their own arms, the soldiers are all confident and arrogant, at this time the most carried away and the most prone to accidents, if you, the regimental commander, do not immediately pour a few basins of cold water to knock out the arrogance of the brothers, I am afraid that it will be useless for anyone to intercede if something happens, understand? ”

"Thank you, Uncle Dao! The little nephew immediately convened a working meeting of the platoon commander and above of the whole regiment. ”

Tang Chuan's heart was settled, his face was full of joy, he stood up happily, gave Lao Shoudao a standard military salute, and saw Lao Shoudao's car drive out of the south gate under the escort of the two headquarters military vehicles in front and behind, and immediately turned around and gave the battalion commander and battalion deputy an order to hold a meeting.

Lao Shoudao's rich life experience and amazing foresight were quickly confirmed.

At 4:30 p.m., as the 52nd Division of the Central Army, which was stationed at Niuhang Station to rest, entered Nanchang City, a fierce and bloody suppression suddenly began.

The 11,000 troops of the 52nd Division and more than 13,000 officers and men of the Nanchang Garrison Division, the Military Police Brigade, and the Guard Brigade of the Provincial Government Security Headquarters, who were cowering in three large battalions in the city, came to attack from inside and outside, and everywhere were sticks wielded by the military and police, and bloody gun butts could be seen all over the eyesDog's breakfast.

In just over an hour, nearly 100 marchers were killed, thousands were injured, more than 3,000 student leaders, representatives of progressive organizations, and revolutionaries were arrested, more than 20 "underground communist intelligence stations" were sealed, and a large number of "illegal radio weapons and ammunition," various printing machines, and a large number of "counterrevolutionary leaflets" were found.

Only the old Nanchang, which dispersed early, was not affected in any way, thanks to the advance arrangement of Lao Shoudao, and also thanks to the good relationship between the Second Brigade and the Police Department of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command and the Jiangnan Group and the An Jia Army, nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the security forces and hundreds of policemen watched the workers return to the factories and the citizens return to their homes. Only the stubborn and enthusiastic nearly 10,000 students were unwilling to give up, and in the end, they had to leave the main street and return to the campus after repeated work by the school's teachers and professors and the officers and men of a regiment of the Anjia Army Garrison Brigade.

Rao is like this, the rare peaceful time and stable social environment in Nanchang since the arrival of the An Jiajun army is gone, and the fear of riots and repression quickly spreads, and with it, the old Nanchang people have only enjoyed the "golden age" for more than five years.

On the morning of the next day, the "anti-rebellion news" in Nanchang, which shocked the whole country, was reported by more than a dozen media outlets, including the "Central Daily," the "Republic of China Daily," and the Central Radio, leaving thousands of people across the country stunned:

The Nanchang camp and the Jiangxi Provincial Government collectively shot to death 142 criminals who had committed "heinous crimes" with lightning speed on charges of counterrevolution, banditry, conspiracy and rebellion, and robbery, and sentenced nearly 1,000 "criminals" to fixed-term imprisonment.

Another important news that appeared in major domestic newspapers at the same time as the news of the rebellion: the National Industrial and Commercial Bank held a press conference at the Majestic Hotel in Shanghai at 8 o'clock last night, and all shareholders made a resolution on the request of Director An Yi to resign as a director and transfer their shares not long ago.

1. Reject Director An Yi's request for resignation; 2. Agree that Mr. Zhou Chongan, general manager of Jiangnan Group, will acquire 80% of the shares held by Director An Yi at a price of 3.5 yuan per share, with a share purchase amount of 74.5 million yuan, and Mr. Zhou Chongan will automatically become a director of the bank by holding 30% of the shares of the National Industrial and Commercial Bank; 3. The National Industrial and Commercial Bank is discussing the major project of fully acquiring Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory under Jiangnan Group, and once a resolution is formed, it will be announced to all sectors of society and submitted to the Ministry of Industry of the Central Government for the record.

The latter news is basically ignored by the vast majority of the people in the country, but for the national business and financial circles, its profound impact far exceeds the anti-rebellion incident of hundreds of dead and injured people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with a shock, the reason is that Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory is not only famous in China, but also a well-known enterprise in the world, the production of sulfonamide series drugs and penicillin and other drugs, the annual output value and profits created by the factory are as high as billions of yuan, once the National Industrial and Commercial Bank successfully acquires Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory, This means that the Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory, which was originally wholly owned, has since become jointly owned by the six chaebols that shocked the whole country, and the far-reaching significance contained in it cannot be explored.

Completely different from the boiling and rumors in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Nanchang regions, the headquarters of the Anjia Army in Xufu, southern Sichuan, was relaxed, and An Yi and the generals had just relieved themselves of the safe passage of the Marine Police Division through the Wuhan River when they received an urgent report of the bloody suppression and brutal execution of the Nanchang camp.

Without being reminded by anyone, the brothers understood that Chairman Chiang finally had no patience to wield his sword, and they saw the warning behind this rare killing decisiveness.

The generals were sighing frequently, and the telegram from Chairman Chiang, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly arrived: appoint Deputy Chief of Staff An Yi as the chief instructor of the Lushan Training Corps!

The brothers listened to An Yi read the telegram, and they were in an uproar, Ye Cheng admired Chairman Jiang for this superb cultivation that he could afford to put down, and after frequent sighs, he said sincerely:

"This is the difference between people, in my conscience, if I cultivate for another eight lifetimes, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach half of Chairman Jiang's cultivation!"

Yang Bin, who has been accompanying guests from various provinces to visit and keep a distance from the "An Jiajun" for several days, smiled slightly, turned to An Yi, who was sitting opposite and thinking silently, and said: "It seems that Chairman Jiang is unwilling to let you resign from the post of deputy chief of staff, haha!" Are you going to Lushan? ”

An Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The chairman of the committee knew that I would not go, but he still sent this appointment, and with a flick of his fingers, it made me very passive." If they go, they will have to face hundreds of senior military officers and senior brothers in Whampoa, perform the duties and obligations of the chief instructor, express their opinions on the next step of the anti-bandit operation, discuss a series of theories and examples of mountain warfare, sabotage warfare, and special operations summed up by the General Staff Headquarters, and even impart our army's experience to the army commanders and division commanders who have come for training.

"If that's all it takes, it's fine, but what should I do if the principal secretly instructs the senior brothers in Huangpu who are loyal to him to collectively attack me? I can't tell when I open my mouth!

"But---- if I don't go, the chairman of the committee can ask me if I don't obey the order, and at least he can say to everyone: Look, An Yi has left his morals! Second, it also seems that my heart is weak. Alas...... Ginger is still old and spicy! The chairman of the committee just sent me a telegram, and I was in a dilemma and even disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, which shows how helpless Chief of Staff Ye's sigh is. ”

Gu Changfeng also sat down: "It seems that this time it really needs to be treated carefully, Lao Jiang had no choice but to choose to back down, but what kind of counterattack he launched later, no one knows, for example, today he unexpectedly came to a murderous demonstration, and the means are not resolute!" We need to be on guard. ”

All the brothers also gathered around, and An Yi thought about it and felt that it was better to talk about certain things in advance: "Ladies and gentlemen, I personally think that at least until the Red Army is completely defeated, Chairman Chiang will not blatantly attack us, and even be cautious about plotting, because his enemy is not only the Red Army, but also the instability of North China, the rebellion of the two Guangzhous, the restlessness of Fujian, and the chaos in Sichuan and Shaanxi, all these are thorny problems that he must solve. I really didn't dare to argue with him when the chairman of the committee attacked us, so I could only go against the grain and continue to be my grandson, and it was precisely because of this opportunity that we won by luck.

"Therefore, we are all safe until the Chairman of the Committee fails to completely defeat the Red Army, and I personally think that it will take at least another year to defeat the Red Army...... This also means that we still have a year to breathe, and how to use this time will be very crucial. But what is annoying is that Chairman Jiang will not let us develop in peace and stability, will not let us grow little by little, and will always come up with all kinds of means to disturb our peace. For example, the sudden fact that I was asked to go to Lushan was justified and reasonable for him, but it was a huge headache for me! ”

The brothers nodded their heads frequently, and they all thought hard about what to do, but they couldn't come up with any solution.

Yang Bin shook his head and smiled, stood up and greeted: "Commander, don't think about it, let's go, let's accompany Ma Junwu and Mr. Huang Xuchu to the arsenal to take a turn, this is what they are most interested in, maybe I can sell them something after reading it, haha!" ”

"Wait, Brother Yang, it's still you who accompany you, and the younger brother has to think about how to reply to Chairman Jiang, otherwise it will not only damage your reputation, but also cause a lot of misunderstandings. An Yi did have a headache.

Yang Bin said indifferently: "What are you worried about? I'll give you the best excuse, even if the whole world knows it's an excuse, but no one can find fault with it. ”

"Say!"

An Yi jumped up from his seat with great joy, looking very expectant, and all the brothers also looked at Yang Bin.

Yang Bin's face was solemn: "You are a fan of the authorities!" Wasn't the Red Army of the Yellow Han on the Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou borders having a good time? Didn't you just beat one of Liu Xiang's brigades to the head of the rat? Didn't Liu Xiang call twice and ask us to join forces with him to suppress bandits? What's more, the Huang Han Department also attacked our army's transport convoy and snatched a large number of weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, shoes and hats and other materials, which is well known throughout the country. What kind of training class is more important than responding to Chairman Chiang's call to suppress bandits? ”

All the brothers suddenly brightened, one by one, their eyebrows flew and they laughed continuously, An Yi didn't say a word, grabbed his military hat and followed Yang Bin to leave happily.
