Chapter 114: The Crime of Traitor
Jiang Zhiqing saw that there was no anger on Commander Yang's face, but there was some ridicule in his tone, so he was relieved, and took a step forward with his fists: "I used to be young and impulsive, and I ask the commander to bear with me where I collided!" This time, I came to the Northeast to join the commander's troops and serve you. ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't speak, and Du Yuesheng on the side immediately said: "Commander, in fact, Brother Jiang is really good!" And he has a lot of knowledge, much better than me and Wang Yaqiao......"
Yang Xiaolin waved his hand to ask Du Yuesheng not to say any more, and walked in front of Jiang Zhiqing: "Misan, why did you suddenly come to the Northeast?" ”
Jiang Zhiqing stood upright, not to mention, he was quite good-looking: "Report to the commander, if I say that it is for the sake of the country and the nation, it seems that I am a little false, but this is indeed a reason. Another reason is that I think the Northeast is now the place where good men can make contributions. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Cheng, it's quite honest." Since you are willing to come, you are looking up to me. No matter why you came, if you are willing to take a gun, you will be a man, and in the future, you will be your own brothers, let's say it first, I can't give you any care, if you want to get ahead by being a soldier, you must take out the original thing on the battlefield to let the brothers obey you. Do you dare? ”
This question of whether he dared to dare obviously stimulated Jiang Zhiqing, and his face changed slightly: "Since I have come to the Northeast, I have made all the preparations!" The commander can put me at the front line and let me be an ordinary soldier, and I will prove to you what I am capable of with my performance. ”
Commander Yang smiled: "Okay! Report to the 11th Division immediately. For Yuesheng's sake, I promise you that I will give you more opportunities to go to the battlefield. ”
"Yes!"
Comrade Jiang Zhiqing walked with his firm steps and went to the 11th Division with that great ambition, Jiang Zhiqing at this age is hot-blooded, and he is the kind of good man who is willing to leave a desperate letter for the revolution. Moreover, his talent is relatively comprehensive, Taizu once said that Comrade Jiang Zhiqing is more than enough to be a division commander, and he can be competent as a military commander. As long as he is not allowed to be the commander-in-chief, there should be no problem. Of course, at that time, Jiang Zhiqing, like Du Yuesheng, still needs to be honed.
Yang Xiaolin saw that the handling of the goods was very smooth, and if he wanted to finish moving more than 10,000 tons of materials, he would have to wait until at least the evening. It was impossible for him to watch here, so he handed over the work to Lu Lao Liu, who was beside him, and left the dock with Du Yuesheng.
"Yuesheng, you are here today, we are going to hold a meeting here in Dalian, and the meeting will make a general plan on the problems we are encountering now and the direction of future development. Come with me and listen to it. If you have any opinions, don't be afraid to say so. ”
Du Yuesheng immediately understood that Commander Yang might really want him to build the Shanghai Youth Gang into an organization similar to the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and let himself observe the high-level meetings in the Northeast, which is an obvious signal.
"Alas! Big brother, I have something I want to ask you. ”
The two of them walked towards the Dalian Public Office while talking, now Commander Yang's administrative system is not perfect, because the Japanese did not give him time to perfect, and he plans to set up his own administrative organ in the next step. This is very urgent for the current situation in the Northeast, which can allow them to make more effective use of the limited resources in their hands to fight the war, and can also strive for more benefits in the future negotiations with Yuan Shikai.
"You say."
"Big brother. Now that you have driven the Japanese away, what are you going to do with some of the people who were very close to the Japanese during the war? ”
Yang Xiaolin turned his head and glanced at Du Yuesheng, this issue was something they were going to discuss today. Defection during the war is very difficult to determine. It's not as simple as seeing who is close to the Japanese is a traitor.
For example, the director of Fengcheng County, this time is the focus of all contradictions. This director did not organize the transfer when the Japanese army approached, but took the initiative to contact the Japanese army. After getting a promise from the Japanese not to do anything that harmed the common people, he also cooperated with the Japanese army, and the large number of fortifications built by the Japanese army outside Fengcheng had a share of this director.
In addition, he also asked the militia in Fengcheng to take the initiative to surrender their guns, disbanding the resistance of the local volunteers, so that the Japanese could quickly occupy the entire Fengcheng.
But the problem is that he never told the Japanese the location of the tunnel, and when Zhang Zuolin led the team to surround Fengcheng, the director also gave Zhang Zuolin the Japanese defense map in the city.
Whether such a person is a traitor or not is debated very strongly within the volunteers! Not to mention Yang Xiaolin, Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua, who came back from Japan together, have very different opinions. Zou Rong said that such a person is a traitor! We should make an example of each one and punish them severely. Chen Tianhua believes that there is nothing wrong with the director's approach, as a local director, his first task is to ensure the safety of the people!
Commander Yang is also very conflicted now, on the one hand, he knows that the war is not over yet, just like Yuan Shikai said, this has just begun. It is very beneficial to make an example of one hundred people, and it can prevent such incidents from happening in the future. But what Chen Tianhua said is indeed very reasonable, to put it bluntly, fighting a war is a soldier's business, and the people will support you, do you have to abandon your homeland with you? Can't people choose another way to survive? Are people who don't stand with you traitors?
If the director of Fengcheng is really a traitor, he will tell the Japanese the location of the tunnel, and this time he may not be able to come back in North Korea.
What Yang Xiaolin didn't understand even more was why Du Yuesheng asked this question?
"If you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush with me."
Du Yuesheng scratched her head, her eyes turned a few times quickly, and she scratched her head a little embarrassed: "Big brother, I just want to ask how the Xiao family's family in Dalian is doing now?" ”
"Relatives of you?"
Du Yuesheng shook her head busily: "No, no!" I'll just ask. ”
Commander Yang nodded: "I didn't care about them, there has been news from Japan, and Matsubara will come to negotiate with me soon, anyway, I and that little Japan are brothers, and the surname Xiao is his father-in-law." People didn't care about them, they were all locked up. I confiscated the property and built a primary school. The remaining two rooms were converted into Dalian offices, and we will go there for a meeting in a while. ”
Du Yuesheng's heart really breathed a sigh of relief, as long as people are fine. In fact, if something really happened, he wouldn't say anything, although that woman really made him miss it very much. Along the way, Du Yuesheng had already made up his mind, and he would ask someone to inquire about where the person was locked up, at least to show his concern.
The former Xiao family compound is now gone, and all the surrounding walls have been demolished. The house in the back was converted into a primary school, and the two rooms in front were the offices of the council in Dalian. It's simple, a few cabinets, a few chairs, a table.
When Commander Yang walked in, the controversy inside had already begun, and Zhao Zhanyuan's voice could be heard from afar, and he was still talking about the issue of the traitor's identification: "I insist on my opinion!" You can say that Director Yu of Fengcheng was derelict in his duties, or that he surrendered without bones, but I firmly disagree with saying that he is a traitor! ”
Zhao Zhanyuan is now the leading figure of the Northeast Localist faction, and he is firm on this issue. He must defend the interests of the Northeast squires. Although the squires were on Yang Xiaolin's side in this war, there were indeed many people who had varying degrees of contact with the Japanese in order to protect their interests.
Director Yu is just a representative, his problem is not the biggest and not the smallest among the squires, and the reason why he is found out is because Fengcheng's particularity in this battle is too conspicuous.
Once Director Yu is identified as a traitor, there will be many squires who are panicked.
Zou Rong's voice was not too loud, but it was very firm: "He is a traitor!" When the Japanese attacked Fengcheng, many militia battalions demanded resistance, but he allowed the Japanese army to enter Fengcheng. The weapons of the militia were also confiscated, and what is this behavior of not a traitor? Now that the war is not over, the Japanese and the Russians may fight again at any time, and we must take advantage of this period of time to eliminate all these traitorous people in our internal body! This is the only way to ensure our victory on the frontal battlefield. ”
When Yang Xiaolin entered the door, Zou Rong and Zhao Zhanyuan were standing. That's how the trustees are bickering now, with supporters sitting and speaking, and people who articulate their own ideas and refute others' ideas standing.
Commander Yang heard them all clearly, and after coming in, he said, "What Mr. Zou Rong said is very right. The war is not over yet, the situation we are facing is still serious, and internal stability is very important at this time. I propose that the matter of the remaining directors must be dealt with immediately. ”
A room of people saw Yang Xiaolin come in. Everyone who was busy stood up, and Chen Tianhua beckoned the guards on the side to move a chair for Yang Xiaolin and put it beside him: "Xiaolin, come here and sit." Tell me your opinion. ”
After the baptism of wind and frost in the Northeast in the past few years, Chen Tianhua's appearance no longer makes Yang Jiang envious, the young man with long hair and flowing hair has long been gone, replaced by the person who is now wearing a big leather jacket, wearing an old wealth hat, always frowning when walking, and a little frosty white on his temples.
At the age of thirty, he looks like a person in his forties. Except for that mouth, which is already extraordinarily powerful, youth, is really lost in this place.
Yang Xiaolin sat down on the chair: "My opinion is very simple, as the director of Fengcheng, it is really a serious mistake not to think about defending the country when foreign enemies invade!" It must be dealt with seriously, and considering that his starting point is to protect the safety of the villagers, he can be lenient within the appropriate limit. In addition, he should be commended for providing us with important information during our attack on Fengcheng. The treatment is the treatment, the reward is the reward, it is not to be confused, as for the treatment and reward plan, the board of directors makes a decision. ”
Zhao Zhanyuan looked at Yang Xiaolin: "What about the traitor?" ”
Yang Xiaolin waved his hand: "If he didn't tell the Japanese, he is not really a traitor, and he can't put this hat on his head." ”
Chen Tianhua, who was on the side, immediately took it over and said: "Commander Yang's opinion is very fair, I think we can deal with it according to this plan, do you have anything to add?" ”
Even though Zou Rong looked a little unwilling, after seeing that most people agreed, he didn't say anything more. Zhao Zhanyuan let out a long breath beside him, and immediately said on this situation: "I think, do our standards in other places also use this as a reference?" Surrender and traitors are dealt with according to two schemes? ”
Chen Tianhua nodded: "Okay." Now that the commander is here, we just happened to discuss the second question, what kind of attitude should we adopt regarding those foreign firms in Yingkou? Commander, let's talk about it first. ”
Yingkou was a treaty port opened by the Qing Dynasty, and the opening model there and Yang Xiaolin's opening were not the same concept. The first thing for Commander Yang's opening up is fairness. But in Yingkou, it is different, the merchants here are privileged, and their privileges are fought with guns. In the past, the forces of the Volunteers did not involve Yingkou, so they could be ignored. But now the Northeast must make a choice, whether to continue to recognize such privileges or to abolish them. (To be continued......)
