He Yingqin saw that Zhang Xuewu was also embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "The chairman originally wanted to give you a medal as a reward, but I refused for you, digging the corners of friendly troops so that these guys don't leave in Rehe?" It's really a bit ridiculous and can't be said, the honor and martial arts of soldiers should be taken directly! ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded embarrassedly: "Thank you Minister He for your care, always keep it in mind!" ”

He Yingqin nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are a smart person, but it is often smart people who can do foolish things, I won't say much else, just say a little, in Suiyuan and the Soviet Union to have a degree of contact, you have to inform me here and the chairman at any time, do you understand?" I can also take care of one or two things for you! In addition, although we have resumed diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, our consciousness is different after all, and the Russians have annexed the most of our territory, and they have not fulfilled their promises, originally saying that they would return the Far East, but after Stalin came to power, not only did not mention it, but also plotted against the Khing'an Mountains and the Mongolian lands outside China, and we should be more careful in dealing with them. ”

He Yingqin paused and whispered: "There are still a large number of materials and food in Beiping, which were originally prepared for the headquarters of the 17th Army, but they will rush to the front line of the bandit suppression in a few days, you arrange someone to receive it in the afternoon, and transport it back to Rehe as soon as possible, and enter your territory, it will be too late for others to say anything!" ”

He Yingqin patted Zhang Xuewu's shoulder affectionately and smiled: "You have to think more about what happens after I leave, and it is not a bad idea to find your cousin more." ”

Zhang Xuewu also smiled: "Please rest assured, the ministry will definitely ask for more instructions and report more!" ”

He Yingqin was actually waiting for Zhang Xuewu's words, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm! In this way, I can be relieved, after all, you are in the limelight now, and there is a danger that the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, don't panic in case of trouble, don't be impulsive! Think more! ”

Zhang Xuewu, who was very unrelieved about the situation in Rehe, hurried back to Chengde, originally wanted to give up a special plane to He Yingqin, but He Yingqin said that it was more reliable to take a special train, although it was fast in the sky, but he was very nervous, unless it was a fatal emergency business, He Yingqin would definitely not take those small planes.

After Zhang Xuewu returned to Chengde, he immediately convened a meeting of officers above the regimental level, because the division of the Rehe Corps is not a brigade, but a regiment, and the brigade is concurrently served by the infantry commander of each division and the commander of the main regiment, Zhang Xuewu's intention is not to distinguish the troops by a multi-layer structure, if the functional distinction is made according to the structure of the corps, army, division, brigade, regiment, and battalion, it can be said that the brigade and regiment levels are the most prone to problems, so Zhang Xuewu uses a seemingly reasonable way in disguise to reduce unnecessary duplication of command structures. At the same time, it is also to be able to better control and control the troops.

Zhang Xuewu looked around at the subordinates who were dancing in the venue for a week, knowing that they were not in Rehe during the time they could be said to have carried out an unprecedented poaching activity, and the result of the activity was that the Jin Army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Central Army all almost fled from Rehe like a burning butt, because they were afraid that if they stayed longer, the backbone and elite of their troops would be dug up by Zhang Xuewu's subordinates.

Huang Tao, director of the Political Department of the Legion, and Li Xinkai, chief of staff of the Legion, led by Deputy Commander Hao Wenbin, had their expressions as if they had been trained, and they seemed to be a little unfazed?

And the five division commanders Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Hu Zhenglong, and Zhanyang are actually competing in secret, because the treatment of the three A field divisions of the Rehe Army is not fixed. The expressions are very natural only Tang Ziqiang and Zhang Tianpeng, the two of them are doing the only job of the scorpion, and they are not afraid of someone robbing the business, and the artillery and armored troops are both technical work, to put it mildly, it has to be tempered a thousand times, three or five years of infantry, eight years of artillery, these old sayings also have a certain basis.

The only ones who seemed to be very breezy were Li Songtao and Ye Yunfei, the senior staff officers of the legion, the two of them whispered in a low voice from time to time, and when Zhang Xuewu spoke, he only allowed the senior staff officers to quietly exchange necessary information and opinions, which was also a privilege that was not a privilege.

Zhang Xuewu looked around for a week but did not get angry, because as a commander, he also knows a certain art of leadership, leading troops to fight is different from the way of being an official in later generations, leading troops to fight must first establish their own absolute personal authority, "Wei" is to let his subordinates trust themselves unconditionally, "Wei" is to revolve around Shangguan, reach out for materials and salaries, such as Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang and He Yingqin are the targets of Zhang Xuewu's siege, "for" is to dare to take responsibility for his subordinates, To put it plainly, it is to protect the cubs, as long as it is not a matter that is easy to cause public anger such as robbing people's daughters and extorting property, regardless of right and wrong, all the right and wrong will be suppressed first.

In Weiwei for these three levels, Zhang Xuewu deliberately said that he did very home, especially the pension and wartime rewards after the Chengde War, although he made a lot of heartache money, but he did gain more than 5,000 people fearless of life and death, loyal and reliable subordinates of allegiance.

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, there is no righteousness of the family and the country, especially the ordinary soldiers who have no culture, and they are not aware of their ambition to destroy our own China.

If a chief like Zhang Xuewu who talks and counts doesn't sell his life, isn't he sick? In particular, when Zhang Xuewu distributed all the bereavement pensions for the fallen soldiers and the rewards for killing the fallen soldiers to his designated family members and people in front of all the officers and soldiers, Zhang Xuewu's prestige in his old department could no longer be shaken, and if Nanjing sent another commander to take over the troops, it would certainly be able to provoke a mutiny.

And after the war, Zhang Xuewu also promoted the officers and soldiers who survived the bloody battle in Chengde, these people are his sworn friends and team, Zhang Xueliang and the officers supplemented by Nanjing can't do this, but Zhang Xuewu believes that under the subtlety of his subordinates, after experiencing a few things, his prestige will go to a higher level, he doesn't want any iron-clad barracks and flowing generals, Zhang Xuewu wants an iron army that completely belongs to him!

So Zhang Xuewu didn't pursue his subordinates at all to make the friendly army talk about embarrassing, it was originally an order he issued, his subordinates did it, the means don't matter first, you have to praise it first to achieve the goal, as for whether the means are too radical or not, that is a matter of later, Zhang Xuewu looked at Xu Guohui who was flattering and smiling, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, Xu Guohui is an unscrupulous slut, if you have to find someone comparable to him in the Rehe Legion, I am afraid that only the brigade commander of the mechanized brigade, Tang Ziqiang, will be able to improve himself.

Xu Guohui is generally so cheaply laughed at basically what he did to be sorry for Zhang Xuewu, or needed Zhang Xuewu to help him wipe his ass, Zhang Xuewu estimated that the two battalions of a certain Jin army disarmed in the middle of the night to pick up the strong soldiers and non-commissioned officers, and the rest of the sheep herding was probably done by Xu Guohui, so he gently patted Xu Guohui's shoulder, and Xu Guohui sat back proudly.

Zhang Xuewu came to Hu Zhenglong and looked at Hu Zhenglong with a smile, although Hu Zhenglong entered the so-called core of the Rehe Legion, but he had been with Zhang Xuewu for a short time, and he was a little unsure of the temper of the corps commander, so he hesitated a little and said: "Commander, Zhanyang's division and I are both garrison divisions of type B, so we must be a little more motivated than others, and we are a garrison division of type B, and the division commander is only colonel, and others should also consider going to the field division of type A, or mechanized brigade, The most popular is the troops directly under the legion, and our garrison division really can't help it! I was forced to choose a reading unit below the battalion of a friendly army to persuade, so I barely selected enough suitable soldiers, Commander of the Corps, you really don't know! Good soldiers are too difficult to choose, that is, they must be willing to follow us, and they must be able to meet the conditions, we are climbing in the middle of the night during this time! ”

Zhanyang quietly kicked Hu Zhenglong under the table on the side, glaring at him, as if warning you to say that you are fine, and you don't mean to take Lao Tzu, but Hu Zhenglong is like Wang Ba eating scales and having an iron heart, and he must pull Zhanyang, a young radical specially promoted by Zhang Xuewu.

Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned, the emotional large-scale siege of people's camps and robbing people was done by you Hu Zhenglong and Zhanyang? After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuewu asked very seriously: "How many times have you done it?" What are the troops on the other side? ”

It will be Hu Zhenglong's turn to be stunned, and he thought for a while and said: "There are less than 2,000 people in my whole division, and now there are more than 9,200 people, and most of the remaining 7,200 people are borrowed by me like this, you don't know, commander!" Except for those who are unwilling to come, reluctant to leave home and old troops, in fact, it is not very efficient to find people to win over, the Northwest Army, the Jin Army, the Central Army, the Northeast Army, the local security regiment, the Volunteer Army, and the county police security brigade, we have all done it, and the Northeast Army is the best! When the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level heard that they were following the corps commander and you were playing Xiaoyue, they were all very enthusiastic and did not hesitate, the Central Army was also fine, and the Jin Army was not qualified by the dog, and there were a lot of broken things! However, we have a principle, that is, the same regiment-level troops only borrow people once, absolutely not much, and never take friendly weapons and equipment. ”

Zhang Xuewu is really embarrassed at the moment, this is still fucking principled? If it weren't for the statement of his Rehe Army, Zhang Xueliang and his cousin sitting in Beiping, and Nanjing deliberately ignoring and instigating the troubles, it is estimated that this Rehe would probably be lively, Song Zheyuan and Shang Zhen, Xu Tingyao and others are people who are easy to talk and get along with?

Therefore, under several coincidences, the various departments stationed in Rehe can be regarded as seeing the meaning of Shangfeng, and they can't pull the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the martial arts can't play Zhang Xuewu, and Zhang Xuewu is behind Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, so they all secretly swore to remember their surnames for a long time next time, and they all opened up.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "Then I have to announce an important decision!" ”
