Chapter 133 Chapter 2 Sheng Shicai's thoughts
PS: The second chapter is here on ^_^ Monday
Sheng Shicai, the word Jinyong, formerly known as Zhenjia, the word Desan. In the history of the main plane, it was eventually mixed with the Bald Party lieutenant general plus the rank of general. He came from a poor background, was originally the head of the operations section of the staff of the bald party army, but he had lofty goals and ambitions in his heart, and took the initiative to apply for transfer to Xinjiang in an attempt to be promoted.
Regarding Sheng Shicai's personality, Deng Fa, the representative of the Yanhuanghong Party in Xinjiang, once had an incisive evaluation: "Sheng Shicai, in terms of his background, is an ambitious warlord; In terms of his thoughts, he is a soil emperor; In terms of behavior, it is a wolf breeding pig. "To put it more profoundly, he is a combination of opportunism and egoism.
Sheng Shicai arrived in Xinjiang at the end of 1930 and was appointed chief instructor of tactics at the Military Academy. Two years later, Sheng Shicai was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the East Road Bandits, and won many battles, and his prestige increased day by day.
On April 12, 1933, the "Four? 12 "Coup d'Γ©tat. Jin Shuren, the former chairman of Xinjiang Province, fled the provincial capital in panic, and Sheng Shicai, who had considerable troops in his hands at that time, was elected by all parties to be the provisional governor of Xinjiang. Liu Wenlong, director of the Department of Education, was elected chairman of Xinjiang Provisional Province. In December of the same year, Sheng Shicai imposed house arrest on Liu Wenlong's suspicion of treason, forced Liu Wenlong to resign, and then made the elderly and sick Zhu Ruiqi the provincial chairman. In March of the following year, Zhu Ruiqi fell ill and died. Sheng Shicai combined military and political power and became the "king of Xinjiang".
At the beginning of his power, Sheng Shicai still had enemies, and he actually only controlled the area around the provincial capital. There are also two forces in the province: Ma Bufang's cousin Ma Zhongying, who occupies northern Xinjiang, and Zhang Peiyuan, who occupies Yili. In December 1933, Zhang Peiyuan marched from Ili to Dihua, and in January 1934, Ma Zhongying led the main force of more than 7,000 people to besiege Dihua.
Later, with the continuous military assistance, economic aid and expert assistance provided by the Soviet Union, Sheng Shicai quickly consolidated his territory and skyrocketed in strength. Before the outbreak of the Yanhuang War of Resistance and the Soviet-German War, because the sky was high and the emperor was far away, Sheng Shicai did not buy the accounts of the bald party at all, but looked at Moscow for international issues and Yan'an for domestic issues.
In 1936, Sheng Shicai made a suggestion to Zhou Enlai, who was passing through Xinjiang to Moscow, and the Yanhuanghong Party sent a group of cadres to Xinjiang. In April 1937, Chen Yun served as the first representative of the Yanhuangyan Huanghong Party in Xinjiang. In January 1938, Deng Fa, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Red Party, was appointed as the representative of the Red Party in Xinjiang. A year later, Chen Tanqiu, who had returned from the Soviet Union, succeeded Deng Fa as the Red Party's representative in Xinjiang. At the beginning of 1938, the Central Committee of the Red Party sent Mao Zemin to work in Xinjiang.
In January 1938, a mechanized reinforced regiment of the Soviet Red Army, the Eighth Regiment, was stationed in Hami to guard the eastern gate of Xinjiang, and the bald army did not dare to advance westward easily. In August 1938, Sheng Shicai secretly visited the Soviet Union, during which Stalin met with Sheng Shicai three times and gave him a large amount of assistance, and at the same time Sheng Shicai joined the party in the Soviet Union and became a member of the Soviet Communist Party, when his relations with the Soviet Union reached its peak.
After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in June 1941, the German army was in the upper hand on the entire battlefield, approaching the city of Moscow. Sheng Shi, who was good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, decided to take refuge in Chiang Kai-shek. Beginning in March 1942, the "Xinjiang King" began to arrest and kill Red Party cadres, and Zang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Finance, Li Yiou, director of the Department of Education, Pan Bonan, commander of the Hotan garrison, Lu Yulin, chief executive, Chen Fangbo, chief executive of Kashgar, Wang Baoqian, director of Xinjiang Daily, Yu Deyi, chief executive of Yanqi, Zhao Jianfeng, chief executive of Tacheng, and Liu Xiping, chief executive of Hami, were killed one after another. On the afternoon of September 17, 1942, Sheng Shicai sent someone to "invite" Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and other five people to talk. "Please talk" is Sheng Shicai's usual method of arresting people. On February 7 of the following year, Sheng Shicai threw five Red Party dignitaries, Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Pan Tong, into Xinjiang No. 2 Prison. If history had not changed, several of them would have been shot dead on September 27, 1943.
The target plane was located on August 17, 1943, at the official residence of Sheng Shicai, Xinjiang Province, Yanhuang Continent. At this time, the "King of Xinjiang" was frowning, looking at the newspapers and periodicals full of news about the victory of the Yanhuanghong Party in recovering Outer Mongolia.
"The Red Party has recovered Outer Mongolia, is the news really correct?" Sheng Shicai, who was in an irritable mood, asked his confidant Liu Ping.
"Chairman, I have confirmed it many times, the news was reported to the whole country by the Yanhuanghong Party yesterday, and after a day of verification, I confirmed that the news was correct, and then I brought it to you!" Liu Ping explained.
"They are so powerful all of a sudden, are the Soviets secretly helping them with weapons?" At this time, the prosperous era saw that the Soviet-German battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Soviet Union, and it had officially completely turned against the Soviet Union.
"This is not very clear, but a while ago, the Red Party defeated the 200,000 Japanese army and recovered Shanxi, these should not be fake, after all, it is impossible for the Japanese army to build momentum for the Red Party with self-face, chairman." Liu Ping replied.
"Damn, it's changing too fast these days! In the past, it was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but now it is good, and the city will change the king flag in one year. Mao Zemin: Are they still pressing? Sheng Shicai asked.
"I have been detained in Prison No. 2, and in addition to the five of them, there are more than 100 other Red Party bandits." Liu Ping, who had a flexible head and an account in his heart, replied quickly.
"There are more than 100 people, who are they?" Sheng Shicai raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The main ones are the cadets sent by the Yan, Huang and Red parties to participate in the border air force, including pilots, ground crews and others." Liu Ping replied.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, with the assistance of the Soviet government, the Bald Party expanded the border aviation team of the Xinjiang Supervision Office, and set up an aviation training class, known as the aviation school to the outside world, to recruit students openly and train pilots and maintenance personnel. Chen Yun saw an opportunity from this, and after many negotiations with Sheng Shicai, the two sides reached an agreement to train 60 aviation personnel.
"Is the execution moving?" Sheng Shicai asked.
"Chairman, it's been moved a long time ago, it's still big." Liu Ping replied in a low voice.
"Fuck, stupid, you don't have a head!" Hearing the answer of his subordinates, Sheng Shicai scolded angrily, "You take them out at night, wash them up, I want to set up a banquet and entertain them, and bring the prison warden over to give some heavy colors, understand?" β
"Yes! Yes, sir!! β
In the evening, in Dihua No. 2 Prison in Xinjiang, Mao Zemin and several others were being held here.
"Squeak~~~" The dimly lit cell door was opened.
"Get up, get up!" Several cell bosses woke up Mao Zemin and the others who were lying on the thatch, then opened the wooden door of the cell and said, "Come out, come out!" β
"Going to do it?" Mao Zemin couldn't help but think in his heart, he looked at Chen Tanqiu, Pan and others, but they didn't speak, nodded, and walked out with their feet tied to iron chains. To Mao Zemin's surprise, after going out, the cell boss opened their handcuffs and foot cuffs, and then pointed to a car and said, "Masters, please get in the car!" β
An hour later, Mao Zemin, who had washed up and changed into new clothes, sat in a villa's dining room with a sumptuous dinner table on the table.
"Hahaha~~" With a deliberately exaggerated laugh, Sheng Shicai appeared in front of the five people.
"Brother Zemin, everyone, I'm suffering, I'm too late!" Sheng Shicai hugged his fists and said with a deep salute.
"Sheng Shicai, what do you mean?" Mao Zemin was very puzzled and wary of Sheng Shicai's actions, and asked sharply.
"Alas! I know that you must hate me, come, sit and sit, let's eat and talk. Sheng Shicai had a very annoyed look on his face.
Hearing Sheng Shicai's words, Mao Zemin and the others didn't react, they all sat down generously, for them, they were not afraid of death, they had a good meal before they died, and they didn't lose money on the Huangquan Road!
"Brother Zhou Bin (Mao Zemin's words), it's a shame to say that Shicai has been deceived by villains, I don't know how many people were trapped in No. 2 Prison, and there are no subordinates to report until today, I know that not only have several people been imprisoned for up to a year, but also tortured many times, guilty of crimes, you see!!" Sheng Shicai said this and pointed out the door.
I saw the warden of Dihua No. 2 Prison, bleeding and covered in wounds, kneeling miserably outside the door of the restaurant.
"Shicai, I have arrested and severely punished the villains who persecuted you, and I will definitely give you justice!" Sheng Shicai said this, preaching with great emotion.
"Ahem, no need, if Chairman Sheng really wants to compensate us, he only needs to do one thing, and we will be satisfied!" Chen Tanqiu couldn't help but interrupt when he saw Sheng Shicai's acting becoming more and more outrageous.
"Brother Yun Xian (Chen Tanqiu's words), please speak!" Sheng Shicai couldn't help but be very happy when he heard the other party take the initiative to put forward the conditions, and said with a smile.
"All we need is for Chairman Sheng to release all the Red Party members in prison, including me, to leave Xinjiang and return to Shaanxi!" Chen Tanqiu said calmly.
"Well~~~" Sheng Shicai said with a grin after hearing it.
"Are you having trouble?" Chen Tanqiu asked.
"No, of course not, it's just that a few people have been wronged for so long under my rule, and the world wants to do the friendship of the landlord first, compensate you, and then send you away!" Sheng Shicai prevaricated.
"Thank you Chairman Sheng for your concern, it's just that I have been away from home for many years and miss it very much!" Mao Zemin interjected from the side.
"Well, to be honest, I had such a big misunderstanding with a few people, I'm worried that Zemin's brother will blame him, and I won't be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River by then!" Sheng Shicai pretended to be extremely aggrieved and said.
"If Brother Jin Yong is really willing to send us back to Shaanxi, I promise to say a few kind words in front of my brother, how about it?" Although Mao Zemin didn't know why Sheng Shicai was suddenly willing to let them go, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he immediately spoke.
"Really?"
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!"
"Okay, I believe in the character of Brother Zhou Bin (Mao Zemin's words), a true gentleman! In this case, I will do what I say, so how about I arrange a vehicle tomorrow and send someone to escort a few other Red Party cadres back to Shaanxi? Sheng Shicai said with a laugh after hearing the assurance he wanted.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"A word is a decision, come, eat the vegetables!!" For a time, the guests and hosts in the house enjoyed themselves.
The next day, escorted by more than a dozen trucks, more than 100 Red Party soldiers and cadres who had been detained in Dihua Prison finally set foot on their way home after many trials and tribulations.
