When the factory first moved to Taiyuan, the factory had less than 10 skilled workers and only 8 machine tools, but with the loan support of the Northern Investment and Development Bank, the factory has now developed into a large factory with more than 1,000 workers, which can not only manufacture ordinary telephones, but also produce military telephones.

This military telephone has just been successfully developed in Europe and the United States, and Xu Yongchang, an old soldier, knows too well the significance of this military telephone.

Now, this factory not only sells its products throughout the country, but also military telephones have begun to be purchased in large quantities by the Ministry of Defense under the matchmaking of Song Zhewu, and even the telephones produced by two large companies, Stäubli in France and Siemens in Germany, have not competed with them.

Due to the large number of new industrial enterprises in the Taihang Administration, the demand for various raw materials is very strong, which has also led to the prosperity of other regions in Shanxi, and the mining enterprises in Datong area of southern Shanxi have benefited greatly. In Xu Yongchang's view, as long as Shanxi can maintain stability, in another ten years, Shanxi's economy will be one of the best in the country.

Such a good situation is really not easy to achieve, and Xu Yongchang will do his best to prevent this excellent situation of Shanxi's vitality from being damaged in any form.

Moreover, Xu Yongchang believes that even if there is no Central Plains War, Shanxi is under the leadership of Yan Xishan, and the current situation will never happen.

Therefore, he still had to make one last effort to persuade Yan Xishan to leave Shanxi, so as not to ignite the flames of war in Shanxi again.

After thinking about it for a day, Xu Yongchang hurriedly assumed the post of chairman of Shanxi Provincial Political Axe in the provincial political axe, and then prepared to go to Datong to persuade Yan Xishan to go abroad in the name of the justifiable supreme administrator of Shanxi.

But before Xu Yongchang walked out of Linfen, he was stopped by Song Zheyuan, who came on horseback.

It turned out that Song Zheyuan also received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek also asked Song Zheyuan to persuade Feng Yuxiang to leave Shanxi.

In his telegram to Song Zheyuan, Chiang Kai-shek sternly stated that once Feng Yuxiang left Shanxi, he would cancel Feng Yuxiang's arrest and fund Feng Yuxiang with 300,000 yuan. Otherwise, the number of the 29th Army will be cancelled and its troops will be dismissed on the spot.

Song Zheyuan, who had worked hard to pinch together the remnants of the Northwest Army, naturally would not see this army disappear, even the generals Zhang Zizhong, Liu Ruming, and Feng Zhi'an did not do it, and discussed with Chiang Kai-shek telegrams all day, but Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was resolute and there was absolutely no room for maneuver, and Song Zheyuan had no choice but to persuade Feng Yuxiang.

But Song Zheyuan was afraid that he would not be able to persuade Feng Yuxiang, so he came to Xu Yongchang for help.

In order to allow Feng Yuxiang, the Bodhisattva, to leave as soon as possible, this time, Song Zheyuan did not come empty-handed, but took the 100,000 oceans that were squeezed out of the military expenses and prepared to hand them over to Feng Yuxiang. It can be seen that as long as the 29th Army can be saved, Song Zheyuan is ready to do whatever it takes.

Regarding Song Zheyuan's request, Xu Yongchang could only report with a wry smile, took out the telegram given to him by Chiang Kai-shek from his arms, and handed it to Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan was also surprised that Yan Xishan had returned to Shanxi, and it was the first time he had heard the news.

However, Song Zheyuan quickly figured out why Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly so anxious to ask Feng Yuxiang, who had no influence on the 29th Army, to leave Shanxi at this time.

Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that the two great warlords, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, would join forces again and make waves in North China. With Yan Xishan's support, it was not impossible for Feng Yuxiang to recapture the 29th Army.

Song Zheyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought: "I don't know if Feng Yuxiang knows that Yan Xishan has returned, and if he knows, it's hard to say whether he is willing to leave Shanxi." In that case, the future of his 29th Army will really be worrisome! ”

Looking at the worried Song Zheyuan, Xu Yongchang also felt that Chiang Kai-shek's worries were not unreasonable, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan were not stable people, and they really should not stay in Shanxi. In particular, Feng Yuxiang hated Chiang Kai-shek to the core, and with him, Yan Xishan, who was bold and ambitious, also had a backbone, and it was not impossible to make trouble again.

Xu Yongchang had the intention to help Song Zheyuan, but he also thought that it was not easy to persuade Feng Yuxiang in this way.

After the two of them summed it up, they decided to go to Taiyuan first and discuss with Song Zhewu, maybe Song Zhewu could come up with something better, at least Song Zhewu would go with them to persuade Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang to leave Shanxi, and the certainty would be greater.

Xu Yongchang was initially resolutely opposed to Yan Xishan's alliance with Feng Yuxiang and the Nanjing Central Political Axe to confront him by force, so after the Central Plains War, Xu Yongchang did not hate Song Zhewu like most of the generals of the Jin Sui Army. On the contrary, with the implementation of a series of measures such as Song Zhewu's stabilization of the Jin banknote, land reform, abolition of agricultural taxes, establishment of education, encouragement of industry and commerce, construction of railways, improvement of transportation, and strengthening border defense, Xu Yongchang was very excited, and he believed that the people of Shanxi were blessed and there was hope for Shanxi.

In particular, since June, the Yellow River and Jianghuai areas have been raining heavily, flooding everywhere, and the victims are everywhere, and under the condition that the central government is unable to properly rescue them, Song Zhewu sent a large number of people to the disaster areas to relieve the victims, and a large number of victims who have lost their homes have been continuously transported back to the Taihang Administration and the North and South Mongolia for resettlement, which made Xu Yongchang, a good man, even more admired. Therefore, Xu Yongchang was very supportive of what Song Zhewu did in Shanxi.

Because of the pacification of Shiyousan, the Jinpu Road and the Pinghan Line were cut off, and a large number of victims had to go to Shanxi through Henan and Jinnan, Xu Yongchang took the initiative to help mobilize all the means of transportation in Jinnan to assist Song Zhewu's people in transporting the victims. Xu Yongchang also got a lot closer to Song Zhewu because of this.

The two met Song Zhewu in Taiyuan, and after explaining their intentions, Song Zhewu also smiled bitterly.

"Chairman Xu, Brother Mingxuan, you have found the wrong person this time, and I have no good way, let alone persuade these two people to leave Shanxi with you."

"Why? Wouldn't you want to let the two of them go? Xu Yongchang asked Song Zhewu puzzled.

Song Zhewu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Chairman Xu, you have also seen the current situation of the Taihang Administration, as long as there is a stable environment, in a few years, the Taihang Administration, and even the whole of Shanxi will change greatly, how can I be willing to see another sword soldier in Shanxi because of these two people?" ”

Song Zheyuan asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you want to go with us to persuade them to leave Shanxi, with Wenge here, the pressure on them will be greater, and they are more likely to leave obediently." ”

Song Zhewu lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, looked at the wafting green smoke and said: "Chairman Xu, Brother Mingxuan, have you ever thought about it, the reason why the chairman of the committee is in a hurry to let the two of them leave Shanxi, in addition to being afraid that the two of them will join forces again, is not afraid that I Song Zhewu and them will join together, if I come forward, I can persuade the two of them to return everything, otherwise the chairman of the committee is afraid that he will be too careful about me......"
