The area inside the "Guanghan Palace" is very large, more than 40 square meters, although there are only two windows in the north and south, but there are four or five incandescent lamps in it, which illuminates the inside brightly.

On all four sides of the room there are a circle of sofas against the wall, although the sofas are a little old, but they are still neat. There is a coffee table in front of the sofa, although there are no seasonal dried fruits on the coffee table, but the tea still needs to be there. These people are all important military and political members of the Northwest Army, Han Fuyu has the heart to recruit, and the others naturally dare not slack off, they are all good food and drink, and they don't even restrict their actions too much. But except for going to the toilet, you have to stay here and don't walk around.

As soon as Han Fuyu walked into the Guanghan Palace, more than a dozen people inside were sitting next to him except Li Xingzhong, and everyone else stood up. Han Fuyu looked at Li Xingzhong and didn't care, among these people were Wen Chenglie, director of the Northwest Military Station, Li Xingzhong, Wu Xiqi, former chief of staff of the Second Group Army and current director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Beiping Office of the Second Dispatch Area of the National Revolutionary Army Dispatch Committee, Deng Zhexi, director of the Henan Civil Affairs Department, Fu Zhengxian, director of the Henan Finance Department, and Liang Shitang, Feng Yuxiang's adviser, all of whom were robbed by Han Fuyu from Shaanzhou to Luoyang. Almost all of these people are acquaintances of the Northwest Army who have known Han Fuyu for more than ten years, and everyone is very familiar with each other, so after Han Fuyu greeted them, he sat directly on the sofa by the door.

Because there are still many things, Han Fuyu didn't dare to delay here for too long, and he was not polite, and said with a smile on his face: "Fuyu has too many things to deal with in the past two days, and he doesn't take enough care of everyone, so that you are wronged, and please bear with me, and when it comes to Kaifeng, I will give everyone a drink to make amends and suppress the shock." ”

After Han Fuyu finished speaking, no one made a sound, and the scene was slightly embarrassing. Han Fuyu knew that even if these people didn't resent him, they were all dissatisfied with his betrayal of Feng Yuxiang, and they all thought that he was a traitor seeking glory!

Han Fuyu laughed twice and said, "Everyone sit, sit down and talk." ”

After everyone sat down, Han Fuyu didn't want to be verbose, and said straightforwardly: "Now everyone should know what happened, and even some people know very well the reason for the matter, although Han Mou did this thing a little recklessly, but it was really a helpless move, and I hope everyone understands Fuyu's difficulties, it is really a last resort." ”

Han Fuyu saw that the people in the room were listening to him with their ears pricked up, and deliberately sighed and said: "All of you have stayed in Henan, and even a few people are engaged in civil affairs, and you all know the situation in Henan, although it is better than Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, but it is also because of the war and the people's livelihood is withering, most of the people have no livelihood, and there are bandits rampant, infesting the township, and the people are miserable. The war of more than ten years has caused misery to the people of Henan. Fuyu really didn't want to fight the civil war anymore, and he really couldn't bear to see the pain of the people in Henan again. I just want to suppress bandits and calm the people, appease the localities, restore the people's livelihood, and do more good and practical things for the people of Henan. Although Fuyu does not want to leave a name in history, all the people praise him; But I also want to share the worries of the country and solve the difficulties of the people! To say something selfish, I also want to accumulate some yin virtue for my Han Fuyu's descendants. ”

Han Fuyu continued while observing everyone's expressions: "Henan has suffered a lot of military disasters, if you want to relieve the people and hang them as soon as possible, you must grasp the military and civil affairs together, and militarily we must vigorously eliminate bandits, appease the place, and let the people have a stable place to raise their interest rates. However, restoring the people's livelihood and developing the economy is not what these people in the military are good at, and this requires everyone here to give full play to their strengths and help each other in order to fulfill Fuyu's long-cherished wish. Therefore, Fuyu sincerely invites you to stay in Henan, not to look at Han's thin noodles, but also to look at the face of the people of Henan, and follow Fuyu to do some really good things for the people of Henan. I wonder what you think? ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, most of them showed suspicion, and a few officials of the Henan provincial government, such as Deng Zhexi, director of the Henan Civil Affairs Department, Fu Zhengxian, director of the Henan Finance Department, nodded slightly, and their Henan officials knew that Han Fuyu's words were basically true. Because although Han Fuyu's time in Henan is very short, he has done a lot of things to care about the people's suffering and support the local economy, but Han Fuyu's betrayal of Feng Yuxiang still made them angry, and they still didn't speak.

After being silent for a while, Wen Chenglie, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head, and did not accept Han Fuyu's invitation to them to Henan, but looked at Han Fuyu and said earnestly: "Xiang Fang, what you did this time was reckless!" Mr. Feng has always treated you well over the years, although you have made outstanding achievements in battle, and you have made great contributions to the Northwest Army, and you are also one of the best in the Northwest Army in terms of military achievements, but Mr. Feng has not treated you badly! Among the old people in our Northwest Army, in addition to Liu Yufen and Song Zheyuan, you and Sun Liangcheng and Sun Lianzhong are the provincial chairmen. This time, you pulled away these 100,000 people at once, the Northwest Army that Mr. Feng had worked so hard to build for more than 20 years was a big loss of vitality, and it was possible to collapse at once, if this is the case, Xiang Fang You are the sinner of the Northwest Army through the ages! Mr. Feng will be very sad! There is also that power, we all saw it, Li Shuchun asked us to sign, but we didn't sign, the words on it were too much, they were all very hurtful! ”

Wen Chenglie saw that Han Fuyu's expression was calm, not like he was very angry, and persuaded again: "Xiang Fang, it's still too late for you to repent now, you are just momentarily angry, and Mr. Feng can also forgive you for doing something out of the ordinary, as long as you go back, Mr. Feng will definitely ignore the past suspicions and not blame the past." We will all intercede with Mr. Feng for you. ”

For Wen Chenglie's words, the military and political dignitaries of the Northwest Army present nodded one after another. Deng Zhexi, the chief of civil affairs, also said to Han Fuyu: "Chairman Han is dedicated to doing things for the people, and everyone believes in it. Several veteran personnel in the Civil Affairs Department said, 'In the past ten years, they have seen several governors and overseers in Henan, but they have never seen a good official like Chairman Han who really loves the people, and the people of Henan are blessed!' In this regard, Deng deeply admired! What Chairman Han just said about building Henan and benefiting the people is not believed by others, but I, Deng Zhexi, believe it. ”

Deng Zhexi hesitated for a moment, looked at Han Fuyu and said: "It's just that now Lao Jiang won't let us stop, since the country has been reunified, we should rest assured that we should concentrate on building the national economy like Chairman Han and focus on restoring people's livelihood." However, he was bent on rejecting dissidents, and had just defeated the Gui family, which was about to turn his guns on our Northwest Army. The Northwest Army had to expand its armaments, which was also a helpless move by Mr. Feng, and Chairman Han must have misunderstood Mr. Feng. However, as Director Wen said, Chairman Han just ran away in a moment's discouragement, and it is still too late to repent. If Chairman Han can repent and return to Mr. Feng's side, we will all intercede for Chairman Han, and I, Deng Zhexi, am also willing to follow Chairman Han to continue to do things for the people of Henan. ”

Han Fuyu scolded in his heart: "It's all a group of people who don't have back pain when they stand and talk, if I, Han Fuyu, go back at this time, Feng Yuxiang just doesn't care about it for the time being, will he still trust me?" Does I, Han Fuyu, still have a foothold in the Northwest Army? ”

Although Han Fuyu was unhappy, he still had a smile on his face, but his smile was full of bitterness.

Han Fuyu took the opportunity of lighting a cigarette and tried to calm down after calming down and said: "I Han Fuyu understands everyone's kindness, let me go back to Mr. Feng's place, don't mention it again, there is no turning back from the bow, since I, Han Fuyu, have taken this step, I will never look back." Of course, if I don't return to the Northwest Army, it doesn't mean that I, Han Fuyu, will be enemies with the brothers of the Northwest Army, as long as they don't come to trouble me, I won't do anything to be sorry for the old brothers of the Northwest Army. Just now, Park Ting and Mr. Deng both said that I would repent and return to Mr. Feng's side, the reason is that Mr. Feng treats me well. There are some things that most of you know, but you are not in it, and many things are not understood, I will now talk about how Feng Lao always treats me Han Fuyu. ”

Han Fuyu took a deep breath of cigarette, spit it out heavily, and said calmly: "Pu Ting said that I have made outstanding achievements in the Northwest Army, but my position as the commander of the 20th Division was not removed by Mr. Feng, as for why I was removed from the position of division commander, I am afraid that only Shipu knows best, he was the chief of staff at that time, even if he was not clear at that time, when he succeeded Shi Jingting as the commander of the 20th Division, Shi Jingting would also explain it to him clearly." Feng Lao always treated me well, but that was in the past, and in recent years, he has been very mean to me. Mr. Feng promoted me Han Fuyu from a clerk to the commander of the Sixth Army, and I, Han Fuyu, am very grateful to him, and I have never dared to forget it. All of you must see it this way, but how has Mr. Feng treated me Han Fuyu in the past few years? You all know that there are even things that you have seen with your own eyes. Feng Lao always gave me the high position of chairman of Henan Province, but it was exchanged for my years of military exploits by Han Fuyu, and it can even be said that I exchanged for the position of commander of the 20th Division; Mr. Feng has said many times on various occasions, even in front of all the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division, that my Han Fuyu's life is corrupt, where have I been corrupted, I, Han Fuyu, have never deducted a piece of the ocean's military salary, and I have never blackmailed anyone, isn't it because I Han Fuyu married a second room? I, Han Fuyu, am also in my forties, and I am also a half-buried person, so just such a little thing will not make Mr. Feng make such a big move; Mr. Feng removed me from the post of commander of the 20th Division, not to mention that he would not even let go of my pistol team, and he also wanted to take away my small team of about 200 people. Shi can be killed but not humiliated, that is, Chairman Jiang of the Nanjing National Political Axe is not satisfied with my Han Fuyu, and the big deal is to remove the chairman of our province, and he will never humiliate me; And this time, Mr. Feng sent me to be the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, but who really listened to my Han Fuyu's orders? Don't you have to listen to the arrangement of Mr. Feng who is far behind? My position as commander-in-chief is nothing more than a tablet. That is, the orders for the troops to withdraw to Shaanxi were sent to Shipu, not to me, the nominal commander-in-chief; And this time in Huayin, if it weren't for Ruibo, Mingxuan and your Brother Pu Ting, Mr. Feng would have to use his precious inkstone to smash me Han Fuyu to death! That's a stone weighing two pounds! ”

The more Han Fuyu spoke, the more excited he became, don't say these things that he was ashamed of, don't say it himself, that is, every time he thinks about it, Han Fuyu will be resentful. Han Fuyu fiercely threw the half-smoked cigarette to the ground and stomped it out with his foot. Suppressing his anger, he tried to say in a calm tone: "What is all this for? After all, isn't it because I voted for Yan Xishan when I had no way out? But didn't I really have no choice at that time? As soon as Mr. Feng returns to China, won't I return to the Northwest Army! Mr. Feng said at the time that he would not be jealous of this matter, but he never forgot it. How can I stay in the Northwest Army? If I stay in the Northwest Army any longer, I'm afraid that what awaits me Han Fuyu will not be as simple as dismissal, and next time it will probably be a question of whether I, Han Fuyu, can keep my surname. Speaking of interceding for me Han Fuyu, which of you here can compare to the status of Ruibo and Mingxuan in Mr. Feng's mind? Did the two of them say less good things to me for me, Han Fuyu, to Mr. Feng? If I go back this time, even if I can keep my surname, I won't even think about running into the side of the army in the future, even the brothers of the 20th Division will follow me and suffer from Han Fuyu. How long can I remain in the position of provincial chairman? You should be able to imagine it. ”

Han Fuyu sighed and said, "You guys put yourself in my shoes and think about it, can I, Han Fuyu, return to the Northwest Army?" ”

Han Fuyu, who had already spoken a little dryly, saw that although the people in the room looked a little gloomy, no one showed any intention of going with him, and stood up a little anxiously and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I don't have time to continue talking to everyone." I will soon go east to Kaifeng, if any of you are willing to do things with me Han Fuyu and benefit the people of Henan, follow me Han Fuyu. You people, Han Fuyu, will make the best use of their talents, and they will reuse you, even if Shipu still wants to lead troops. I, Han Fuyu, will never treat you badly, at least I, Han Fuyu, will not give you, the department chiefs and division commanders, a salary of dozens of oceans per month, it is difficult to even eat by yourself with such a little money, let alone support your family. If you don't want to go with me Han Fuyu, I won't be difficult for you, as soon as my troops leave, you will go wherever you want, and I will not stop you. In the future, if you can afford to look up to me Han Fuyu, when you come to me, I will welcome you with both hands, what do you think? ”

More than a dozen people in the room, you look at me, I look at you, no one said anything, and finally their eyes fell on Wen Chenglie and Liang Shitang. Han Fuyu knows that some people are moved, as long as someone takes the lead in staying, they will stay, the key is to see the attitude of Wen Chenglie and Liang Shitang.

Liang Shitang kept his eyes closed, leaning back on the sofa and not saying a word. Wen Chenglie lowered his head and thought for a while, knowing that everyone was waiting for him to express his position, he raised his head and smiled apologetically at Han Fuyu and said, "Xiang Fang, I don't care what others do, I still have to go back to Mr. Feng." ”

Hearing Chenglie's statement, everyone else also said that they wanted to go back to Shaanxi, but no one wanted to go with Han Fuyu.

Han Fuyu was so angry that the anger in his heart went straight up, but it was not easy to attack, he had been friends with Wen Chenglie for many years, and knew that this person was very talented and affectionate. Just as he was thinking about a few more words of persuasion, Wang Chenghua, who had been waiting outside the door, came in and reported: "Commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff Li sent someone to ask you to hurry back to the command headquarters, there are important military situations waiting for you to decide." ”

"Important military intelligence? What military information can be at this time is an important military situation, and it must be that the chasing soldiers are coming. Han Fuyu didn't have time to grind his lips here anymore, so he snorted coldly, turned around and left. As soon as he turned around, Han Fuyu's face was covered with "frost", and he said angrily to Wu Huawen who was standing at the door: "Shao Zhou, we didn't have time to transport all the food in the station, you go and bring people to burn it for me immediately!" ”

Everyone in the room knew that this must be Han Fuyu who was annoyed by their actions and took his anger out on the food, but everyone didn't dare to make a sound. Wen Chenglie moved his mouth, trying to persuade Han Fuyu, but he didn't have anything to say. But Deng Zhexi hurriedly said: "Chairman Han, you can't do this!" If you can't take the food with you, you can distribute it to the people. ”

Seeing that Han Fuyu turned his back to everyone and didn't make a sound, Wu Huawen turned around to leave again, so anxious that Deng Zhexi knelt behind Han Fuyu and said loudly: "Chairman Han, here are all the people of Henan, all under your rule, I, Deng Zhexi, kneel down for Chairman Han, I beg you, take pity on the people!" After speaking, he kowtowed to Han Fuyu.

Han Fuyu let out a long breath, called out to Wu Huawen and said, "Just do what Director Deng said, you personally arrange people and distribute all the food that can't be taken away to the people." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Han Fuyu, who was angry, hurried back to the command headquarters, and along the way he kept thinking in his mind, "What important military situation can it be?" "It's a chaser, won't it be so fast? The railway in Shaanzhou has already let him dismantle a section, even the cavalry will not arrive so soon? Don't......

In the command headquarters, Chief of Staff Li Shuchun, two division commanders Sun Tongxuan and Cao Fulin, and several brigade commanders under them were all there, and Li Wentian was also sitting in a corner of the room. These people, except for Li Wentian, were all nervous, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Han Fuyu coming back. They are all Han Fuyu's old subordinates, and they have developed a habit over the years, as long as they follow Han Fuyu, they have almost never lost battles, only fierce battles and bloody battles.

Li Shuchun hurriedly reported to Han Fuyu: "Commander-in-chief, the people we sent to contact Pang Bingxun ran back, and the others were all detained by Pang Bingxun." According to the people who returned, Pang Bingxun had already set up a blocking position at Heishi Pass, and it seemed that he did not want us to pass. ”

(It is true to care about people's livelihood and pay attention to education.) During his tenure in Shandong, he built new villages in more than 70 counties. Before Chiang Kai-shek killed Han Fuyu, in order to increase the reason for killing Han Fuyu, he once found He Siyuan, director of the Shandong Department of Education, and asked Han Fuyu in a guiding tone whether he was embezzling education funds, and He Siyuan replied: "Han Fuyu has never been in arrears of education funds, even if he is in arrears of military salaries, let alone corruption." ）
