Chapter 309: Aftermath

Wang Baoshan's defection to the enemy, the incident of willingly serving the Japanese, and frantically helping the Japanese to assassinate the army commander and assassinate Director Mei Ting, caused great fluctuations within the 29th Army, and those young Zhuang officers asked the military department to thoroughly investigate the traitors hidden in the 29th Army.

In the face of a cry, what followed was that Xiao Zhenying, the representative of the central faction in the army, was pushed to the forefront of the general staff of the 29th Army, and the spearhead was directly aimed at this figure that no one in the 29th Army could afford to provoke.

Because Wang Baoshan is his henchman, and he has made every effort to promote him to this position today, Wang Baoshan is a lackey of the Japanese, so General Senator Xiao may not be able to get out of it, right?

Usually the past is very close, and I didn't even notice the slightest clue, so I believe it? Even if he is not a member of the same party, at least he is guilty of negligence, and although Wang Baoshan flatly denies that he has anything to do with General Senator Xiao, he cannot escape the suspicion of conspiracy.

The inside story, only Wang Baoshan, who has been executed, and the General Staff know in their hearts, in this case, Xiao Zhenying Xiao General Staff, does it still have a foothold in the 29th Army?

Mei Ting, who was recuperating from her injuries, made a detailed written report to the Nanjing Military Command Bureau on the two assassinations of herself and Tang Qiuli, and the article tended to allude to Xiao Zhenying's inescapable involvement, suspected of being bribed by the Japanese, and was Wang Baoshan's backstage.

Mei Ting's report aroused great attention from Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, and he did not dare to slack off, and reported the situation to the old man, who was most taboo about the people around him, hiding from himself, hooking up with outsiders, and having a feeling of being regarded as two hundred and five.

With a paper order, Xiao Zhenying quickly handed over the military affairs of the 29th Army and returned to Nanjing to be investigated.

said that it was high-sounding, and the surface article was fully done, and a discerning person could see at a glance that he was actually afraid that Xiao Zhenying would slip away halfway, called an escort, but in fact an escort.

On the day of the commissioner of the Military Command Bureau, he went to the hospital to visit Mei Ting, whose injuries had greatly improved, and coincidentally, the commissioner's surname was Gao, who was Mei Ting's best friend in the military command, and he brought a handwritten letter from Director Dai, and also brought an order to promote Mei Ting to ** colonel.

For this senior commissioner of the military command, Tang Qiuli did not dare to slack off, and received it in person, even if it was not Mei Ting's hardcore buddy, just by virtue of other people's doors, Tang Qiuli would have a headache, and he had a good relationship with these people, yes

Although there are Liu Chengwan, Brother Liu and Yu Jezhou, these two figures who can eat well in the Military Command Bureau, but this commissioner can't be slack, maybe it's another line, Tang Qiuli gave him the highest standard treatment.

Mei Ting dragged her weakened body after the injury, accompanied the entertainment, and made the high commissioner's heart happy, in front of Mei Ting, she had to bow down to Tang Qiuli, and said that she was Gao Pan, he was just a colonel, and Tang Qiuli was a lieutenant general, in terms of status and power, the two of them were not at the same level.

But Commissioner Gao's yamen is special, in today's words, it is a big real power department, Tang Qiuli is very happy to agree, when he goes out, he has already called Tang Qiuli a brother, Commissioner Gao said to Mei Ting with emotion, you have arrived in a good place, your chief is a rare character, Mei Ting, with vision, to the point that Mei Ting was ashamed of a little face and half red, but his heart was sweet.

In the middle of August of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the old man was buried in the eyes of the 29th Army, and Xiao Zhenying, the general staff member who had always sowed discord and disintegration within the 29th Army and created the source of turmoil in the 29th Army, was escorted by the agents of the military command, and finally left the ancient Beiping City where the storm met because of the Wang Baoshan incident, and embarked on an unknown way back.

Before leaving, Tang Qiuli stuffed Brother Gao with a silver ticket of 50,000 yuan, of course Brother Gao refused, Tang Qiuli's reason was that it was not for your sister-in-law and children who had not met, and it was not for you, Commissioner Gao accepted it with a smile.

Leave a word to Tang Qiuli, brother, when you go to Nanjing, if you have anything to say hello to, what do you need to do with the eldest brother, a phone call and a letter are all done, and when it was over, he pointed to Mei Ting and said, take care of my friend, if there is one less hair, the eldest brother will ask for you

By chance, Xiao Zhenying was removed as a stumbling block, and without him, under the banner of the central government, he fanned the flames there, obstructing three and four times, making Tang Qiuli's big move to be implemented difficult, and the 29th Army was more united, and it was more convenient for Tang Qiuli to control the 29th Army, and more importantly, there was a pair of eyes missing.

Looking at the distant convoy, Tang Qiuli was very sincere and said to Mei Ting, "Mei Ting, thank you" Mei Ting smiled and did not answer, but there was a little pride in her demeanor.

In fact, Mei Ting's report is Xiao Zhenying's fatal knife, if Tang Qiu left the Wang Baoshan incident and took advantage of the internal situation of the 29th Army to force Xiao Zhenying to resign, it is also feasible, but in Nanjing's view, there is a suspicion of excluding dissidents, which is a little blunt.

Through Mei Ting's channel, the effect is different, this fire is burned just right, how can Tang Qiuli not thank Mei Ting, this girl is becoming more and more understanding.

A few days later, the veteran of the 29th Army, deputy commander Qin Dechun, submitted his resignation to Tang Qiuli, which was very unexpected to him, he had no intention of moving this veteran, in his opinion, although Qin Dechun has ordinary ability, he is still very kind, and has no ambition, just by virtue of sharing the joys and hardships with the old army commander, he is worthy of Tang Qiuli's respect.

You must know that before the 29th Army arrived in Pingjin, what kind of life did it have, lack of guns and ammunition, eating the last meal but not the next meal, similar to calling Huazi, in that situation, Qin Dechun never gave up, and tried his best to maintain Song Zheyuan's prestige.

Now, he suddenly offered to resign, Tang Qiuli was quite surprised, he had a long talk with Qin Dechun and understood the thoughts of this elder.

He regarded his own nephew Qin Youliang, although he was still locked up in the inspection cell, but he was not criticized, Tang Qiuli only planned to expel him from the army, unlike the battalion commander Liu who had been shot, the nature was different.

But Qin Dechun didn't think so, the reason why he put his nephew in the army was to give him a chance to achieve fame, but anyway, his nephew was not angry, he was a dou who couldn't be helped, and he got together with the battalion commander surnamed Liu, and made the 258th Regiment into a miasma, and the soldiers were angry with the officers.

Moreover, Battalion Commander Liu eats empty salaries and drinks soldiers' blood, as the regiment commander, can he get rid of it? It's not a single word of negligence that can be explained.

And the even greater taboo is that he was unaware of the serious military situation that happened, and the battalion commander under his command wanted to shoot the meritorious soldiers, but he turned a blind eye, as a soldier, this is Yan zhòng's dereliction of duty, and it is also the thing that the Tang army commander hates the most.

Commander Tang did not shoot Qin Youliang, in Qin Dechun's view, it was to save him a lot of face, within the 29th Army, there have been rumors about Qin Youliang's affairs, nothing more than that, Qin Youliang used the power of his uncle to do nonsense, and other officers were hindered by the power of the deputy commander, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Qin Dechun is a dignified old soldier, he thought about it for a long time, and felt that in the 29th Army, he no longer had much effect, and with the departure of Brother Song, Qin Dechun had already retreated.

The Wang Baoshan incident gave him a greater touch, his precious nephew, how can he and Wang Baoshan be all the way, but there is no chance, and Xiao Zhenying's ending made him wake up suddenly.

The new army commander's thinking and drumbeat can't keep up, and there is a baby nephew by his side who makes him upset, just leave here, the 29th Army will be the world of young people sooner or later, and it can be regarded as a successful retirement.

Qin Dechun had a complicated mood, and after a long talk with Tang Qiu, he finally made up his mind and took the initiative to leave, which is better than being eliminated, not to mention, the matter of his nephew has already damaged his prestige in the 29th Army, and it is a wise choice to leave early while his reputation is not too stinky.

Tang Qiuli had no other thoughts in his heart about this veteran soldier who was very sensible and knowledgeable about current affairs, except for respect, and he couldn't let the veteran soldier who had worked hard and sweated for the 29th Army leave gloomily like Xiao Zhenying, which would hurt the hearts of other officers of the 29th Army.

He held a grand farewell banquet for Qin Dechun at the Yanjing Hotel, inviting celebrities, business tycoons from Pingjin and Tianjin, and all members of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee to attend.

The scene of the banquet was solemn and slightly dignified, after all, with the departure of Song Zheyuan and the departure of another veteran of the 29th Army, everyone's mood can be imagined, the banquet was presided over by Tang Qiuli himself, and Qin Dechun made a farewell speech.

He briefly reviewed the bumpy course of the 29th Army over the years, and between his words, the feelings of remembrance were overflowing with words, and when the words reached the emotional place, he couldn't help but cry.

However, after all, he is a figure who has been rolling in officialdom for many years, and after a change of words, he praised Tang Qiuli, calling him the most capable and far-sighted army commander he has ever seen besides Commander Song, and predicted that Pingjin and the 29th Army, under the leadership of Commander Tang, will definitely have a more ambitious future.

The old soldier's words caused a burst of thunderous applause, but he and everyone present did not expect that less than a year later, the situation in China had undergone earth-shaking changes, and Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China broke out first in North China, and the 29th Army, under the leadership of Tang Qiuli, embarked on a completely different road of resistance against Japan.

When Qin Dechun was leaving, Tang Qiuli gave him 100,000 oceans as the cost of settling down, for those who had contributed to the 29th Army, he would not be stingy, and released Qin Youliang from prison and asked him to accompany his uncle back to his hometown.

This was out of Qin Dechun's expectations, his gratitude could not be concealed, and what surprised him even more was that Tang Qiuli transferred a reinforced platoon from the 29th Army Guard Regiment, followed the method of escorting Song Zheyuan, and stayed by Qin Dechun's side for a long time as a personal guard.

For this kind of treatment, Qin Dechun was inexplicably grateful, and also made the officers of the 29th Army who were present to see off the deputy commander very moved, Qin Dechun's present is their future, as long as you work hard in the 29th Army, the commander will not forget your past efforts.

Since then, they have taken root in the 29th Army and linked their fate to the troops.

Tang Qiuli's move has received good results, whether it is buying people's hearts or making superficial articles, it is very effective anyway.
