Chapter 40: A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist
Liu Ting rushed over when she heard the news, saw this and asked the guards to withdraw, closed the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "Let him say, continue." ”
Since Liu Xiaoyong started, he no longer had any scruples, and simply opened up and said: "Sir, it's not you who are wrong, it's the system, at first when you made a fortune in Jiangbei, you relied on these old brothers from bandits, strong combat effectiveness, loyalty, and later the success of the Northern Expedition and the reunification of the country, it is time to release the military power with a glass of wine, let these old soldiers be rich men, and rely on professional soldiers from military schools to build a new type of modern army, this is the right way, but for various reasons, you did not do so, and still maintained the original system, until today, Although the Jiangdong army is modernized, it is still a feudal private army in its bones, and it has long since failed to adapt to the trend of the times in the 40s. ”
Liu Ting blamed: "The more you talk, the more unbelievable it is, is this what you can say." ”
Liu Xiaoyong said: "I am a member of the Jiangdong Army, of course I have the right to say that the young soldiers still love Chief Chen, and it is still too late for you to carry out reforms, we support you!" ”
Chen Zikun said: "Who are we you talking about, how many people are there, and are we organized? ”
Liu Xiaoyong paused and said: "The army is not allowed to form associations in private, we are just some like-minded middle and lower-level officers from military academies, and we usually get together to talk about current affairs." ”
Chen Zikun nodded: "I know, you go down first, don't tell others about today's conversation." ”
Liu Xiaoyong saluted and left, his leather boots making a series of crisp footsteps in the corridor.
Liu Ting was a little uneasy: "Xiao Yong didn't mean to contradict you. ”
Chen Zikun said: "It's okay, no one has spoken out in front of me for a long time, I'm about to become blind, Liu Ting, what did you say about the current Jiangdong, it doesn't matter, to be honest, I can stand it." ”
Liu Ting said: "In fact, Jiangdong is not very bad, it is much stronger than other places, but it is also a gap of fifty steps and a hundred steps, the generals in the army are divided into several factions, each looking for a way to make money, or forcibly occupying, or kidnapping tickets, in terms of finance, Gong Zijun took advantage of the convenience of exchanging fiat currency, and also reaped a lot of benefits......
Chen Zikun said: "There is no clean person, Yan Su, his situation is always better." ”
Liu Ting said: "Yan Su himself has no corruption, but some of his relatives are doing nonsense under his name, and others dare not care." ”
Chen Zikun said: "It seems that you are in control of these things, why don't you tell me?" ”
Liu Ting smiled bitterly: "It's too common, but it's nothing worth saying, let's talk about it...... Iron also needs to be hard, and a few ladies in your house have not lost their fish, so what do people say. ”
Chen Zikun changed color: "Who? Yao Yilei or Jianbing? ”
Liu Ting said: "In fact, they are all trivial things that are not worth mentioning, collecting some jewelry, fur, jewelry, and watches, and winning tens of thousands of dollars at the poker table. ”
Chen Zikun understood that his own team was hopeless, in fact, not only Jiangdong, but also the whole of China, if you want to catch corruption, you have to arrest all your hardcore subordinates, even his wife is not immune.
"Okay, you go back, I'll be alone for a while." Chen Zikun sent Liu Ting, sat in the office and closed his eyes and pondered, from the day he became the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, the past is vivid, more than 20 years have passed, the old brothers have changed from young people in their prime to middle-aged people, their hair is gray, their stomachs are fat, but the biggest change is their hearts.
Chen Zikun got up and went out and came to the guard battalion, his personal guard selection of soldiers has very special requirements, only the children of good families in the poor rural areas of Jiangbei can be selected, with excellent physical fitness and simple mind, it can be said that it is the most reliable unit.
The commander personally inspected, the young men of the guard battalion lined up to welcome, Chen Zikun shook hands with them one by one, shhh
"Kids, go to the shooting range and practice, let you open your eyes." It seems that on a whim, Chen Zikun took the Guards Battalion to the shooting range, practiced guns for an afternoon, and promoted more than a dozen soldiers and officers with accurate marksmanship and excellent quality.
The next day, Chen Zikun brought Liang Maocai to talk and talked secretly in the office for two hours.
Another day later, Chen Zikun convened a meeting of the generals to discuss the reorganization of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into the Traffic Police Corps, because it involved the issue of establishment and financial allocation, Yan Su and Gong Zijun also participated, and the meeting was held at the Fenglin Road residence.
Fenglin Road, full of red maples, beautiful scenery, the asphalt road is spotless, black cars come and stop in front of the official residence, the adjutants get out of the car first, turn around and open the door, put their hands on the top of the door, and protect the officers to get out of the car.
Yan Su, Gai Longquan, Chen Shou, Zeng Jiao, Liu Youjin, Gong Zijun, Liang Maocai, Wang Sanliu and others came one after another, everyone greeted each other, entered the gate, and the adjutants and the driver escorts smoked and drank tea in the special lounge, bragging and chatting.
The adults came to the door of the conference room with laughter and laughter, and the guards asked everyone to hand over the matching guns, and no one cared, so they all untied the matching guns and handed them over.
Upstairs in the study, Liu Ting knocked lightly on the door: "They are here." ”
Chan opened the drawer, took out an M1911 pistol from it, checked the magazine and inserted it, pinning it to his waist.
"Are you really going to do it?" Liu Ting said.
Chen Zikun nodded, his expression was extremely serious, he put the general's hat on the top of his head, Liu Ting helped him buckle the wind and discipline, and instructed: "Be careful." ”
"It's going to be fine." Chen Zikun went downstairs, strutting with his head held high, the dragon walked and the tiger walked, the guards saluted with guns, he returned the salute in a chic manner, pushed open the door of the conference room with both hands, and the adjutant shouted: "Chief Chen has arrived!" ”
The tumultuous conference room suddenly fell silent. The generals all stood up, still with smiles on their faces, and there were not only a few of Chen Zikun's right-hand men, but all the officers above the rank of major general came, and the conference room was full of more than a dozen people.
All eyes were focused on Chen Zikun, and today's Chief Chen didn't seem to have a good complexion, and there was some anger between his eyebrows.
"Why didn't Double Happiness come?" Chen Zikun glanced at it and asked lightly.
"He's on leave." Chen Shou replied.
"I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law, it's a lot of things." Gai Longquan said a word, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Chen Zikun looked at his watch: "Okay, everyone is here, let's start." ”
Liu Ting took the thick document without saying a word and put a copy in front of everyone.
"Let's take a look, and give you five minutes." Chan looked at his watch.
Chen Shou turned two pages and stood up after slapping the table: "False accusation!" Framed and framed, who dares to yin me! ”
Gai Longquan also dropped the document: "How can this be reasonable, how can my surname Gai be so ridiculous, what is written here is all nonsense." ”
Zeng Jiao smiled faintly: "It's ridiculous to say that the Police Department kidnaps tickets for extortion, I have someone who is missing this money?" ”
Yan Su and Liu Youjin didn't say a word, their faces were worried.
Wang Sanliu had a low status, and said with a look of grievance: "Please also ask the chief to investigate, I really don't know about these things." ”
Only Liang Mao sat firmly on Mount Tai, his foundation was the cleanest, and there was a mess underneath, but Chen Zikun sneered: "Don't be busy skimming it out first, read it carefully a few more times, you look at it first, I still have something to do, Maocai!" ”
"In!" Liang Maocai stood up.
Chen Zikun pulled out his pistol and slapped it on the table: "This gun is placed here, whoever dares to go out will be shot!" ”
"Yes!" Liang Maocai walked over and picked up the pistol, loaded it with a bang, and put on a look of the six relatives who did not recognize the murderous gods.
Chen Zikun brushed his sleeves away, and the two doors slammed shut.
He left, and the following was even more chaotic, Chen Shougai Longquan and others were inconvenient to have a seizure in the way of face, so they signaled the people below to make trouble, and a major general in his thirties said angrily: "Even if these are true, what the hell is wrong, we were born and died to protect the country, fight Japan, how much blood was shed, how many brothers died, and we should enjoy this little blessing." As he spoke, he opened the door and went out.
Liang Maocai didn't blink his eyes, and a shot hit him in the leg, and everyone was shocked.
"Old ten, you really shot a dog!" Gai Longquan exclaimed.
Lao Shi Liang Maocai was a second pole back then, and his temper remained the same after many years, no one recognized his face, and the muzzle of the gun was smoking, he said with a cold face: "The words of the handsome, I can't help but listen, I can't die if I don't hurt my bones." ”
The door opened, and two guards carried the wounded out, leaving a trail of blood.
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked out the window, and the courtyard was full of guards soldiers, and their rifles were loaded with bayonets.
It seems that Dashuai is going to play the real thing.
……
Chen Zikun hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, got into a jeep, and went straight to the military camp on the outskirts of the city under the escort of more than ten military vehicles.
The door opened, the sunlight shone in, and Chen Zikun's tall figure stood at the door, and said coldly: "Who wants to see me?" ”
"Sir, you're wronged." There was a mess below, and they finally understood that this was not Liu Xiaoyong's mutiny, but the marshal was going to be purged.
Chen Zikun did not have time to deal with this group of middle-level officers, turned around and came to the commanding envoy, and gave an orderly order to organize 20 law enforcement teams, each team of 100 people, led by an officer, a policeman, and a prosecutor, responsible for arresting the scum who embezzled the people's property throughout the province.
At the sound of an order, the convoy roared out, and Chen Zikun sat in the barracks to prevent the Central Army from taking the opportunity to attack.
That night, in the Fenglin Road Mansion, the adults under house arrest had food to eat, toilets, and beds and bedding if they wanted to sleep, but they were not allowed to go out.
There were faint gunshots outside, no one knew what was going on, everyone was panicked, Gong Zijun said: "I'll call home." ”
"No way!" Liang Maocai didn't give face at all.
"Brother, take a step to speak." Gai Longquan came over and wanted to grab Liang Maocai's shoulder, but he put a gun against his chest: "Boss, don't force me to shoot." ”
Gai Longquan was furious: "What's wrong! You can't say a word, if you kind of shoot, shoot here! As he spoke, he ripped open the front of his uniform.
Liang Maocai was not ambiguous, and reversed the handle of the gun and said: "Big brother, don't embarrass me, if you are unhappy, shoot me first, what?" ”
