Chapter 312: The Ancient Capital of Xi'an

Ancient Tongguan is an important fortress of Xi'an since ancient times, the same as Hangu Pass, faithfully guarding the capital of the Tang Empire, Tang Qiuli in the eyes of Tongguan, is so dilapidated, just like the mountains and rivers at present, there is no majestic posture of Tongguan iron arm, and there is less grace and grace of the prosperous age.

The dilapidated wall, the grass was green, and it was decaying, Tang Qiuli had no intention of staying, and led the team through the pass and went straight to Xi'an.

The ancient city was in sight, and the people who came to greet him in the suburbs were a colonel of the Northeast Army, and the two giants of Shaanxi, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, did not show up.

With a small colonel to greet Tang Qiuli, a lieutenant general who is almost a special envoy of the national government, Zhang Yang's attitude towards him can be seen.

Also, Zhang Yang suppressed the Communist Party on the front line in northern Shaanxi, repeatedly lost, lost troops and lost generals, so far the Red Army has not been eliminated, but there is a tendency to sit on the big side, at this time, the arrival of Tang Qiuli, and the mission of suppressing the Communist Party in the northwest, is indeed a bit annoying.

If the North China Independent Division wiped out the Zhu Mao Red Army in one fell swoop, would it prove that Zhang and Yang were incompetent, or did it mean that they did not do their best? Or do you preserve your strength and have two hearts for Chairman Chiang? Or is it eye-to-eye with the Vermilion Red Army and plotting against each other?

It is estimated that at this time, Zhang Yang and the two would like Tang Qiu to plant a big heel, and it is best to drop a few big teeth in order to fulfill their wishes.

Tang Qiuli pondered the psychology of the two giants in Shaanxi now, and he stabbed himself sideways, ruining the good things of others, and resting on himself, it was not comfortable, Zhang Yang and Zhu Mao reached an agreement in private, and the two sides are now in a situation of open and dark peace, and they are at peace.

I ran over to stir up the situation, it is estimated that Zhang Yang and the two of them are now disgusting like eating a fly, falling into the Yellow River and drowning, they can hold a banquet to celebrate, and it is not surprising that such a low-standard reception.

The troops were arranged in the suburbs of Xi'an, and they were not allowed to enter the city at all, Tang Qiuli felt normal, and the officers under him stopped doing it, what kind of scene was it in Shanxi, what specifications?

It's here, I don't even have hot water, what do I have to say to you as a little communications director, Qiuquan still has a calm attitude, Liu Chun and Shanhu are not very satisfied, especially Mei Ting, who has a special identity and is used to it, and she can bear this kind of cold reception.

In Mei Ting's opinion, not giving Tang Qiu face is more unbearable than embarrassing herself, she is about to go to the Shaanxi workstation of the military commander, through the channel of guò, and Zhang Yang to ask for an explanation, this breath is really unbearable.

Tang Qiuli smiled and stopped Mei Ting, who was almost about to go berserk, persuaded her to be restless, and glared at Liu Chun and Shanhu, what? I'm used to being comfortable, but I'm not used to it without good wine, good food and a good face? That's a little bit of a thing

Liu Chun and Shanhu shrank their necks and went out in a gray manner, Mei Ting looked at it and smiled secretly, these two guys are both masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are also generals who command thousands of troops, especially Shanhu, Mei Ting is a little stunned, in front of Tang Qiuli, she is as honest as a mouse seeing a cat.

His attitude towards himself just now was quite gentle and kind, a woman in love is like this, a little kindness to her can make her happy for a while.

During his stay in the suburbs of Xi'an, Tang Qiuli strictly forbade his troops from entering the urban area, and for fear of causing unnecessary conflicts, he sent Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff, to Xi'an several times to contact Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and received the reply that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang and Commander-in-Chief Yang were both on the front line of suppressing the Communist Party in northern Shaanxi.

As for when they will be able to return, I can't say for sure, please ask Commander Tang to wait patiently, and the troops of Commander Tang will bear the cost of staying in Xi'an.

Tang Qiuli laughed secretly when he heard this, this eldest son Zhang, who escaped from his hometown in the Northeast, still has a lot of silver on him? Generous, used to being rich, I don't know how to save, I have thousands of people, people eat horses and feed them, and a day is a lot of expenses.

Yang Hucheng is not as generous as Zhang Xueliang, it is estimated that he is the old foundation of the Northwest Army, he is relatively poor, he can't eat enough, how can he have the energy to care about others.

According to the information obtained by the Qiuquan Special Operations Detachment, Zhang and Yang were not on the front line in northern Shaanxi at all, but in Xi'an, and they got together every day and lived very closely.

Tang Qiuli knew that these two people got together to discuss how to deal with themselves, and he was afraid that he, a stunned young man, would crash into the matter between them and the Vermilion Red Army, and around his troop station, a large number of plainclothes were secretly monitored every day, and every move could not escape their eyes.

Tang Qiuli understood that now was not the best time to meet, and when the two of them were wary of themselves, it would naturally come to fruition.

He was not idle, and sent Professor Ouyang and the experts out, and the soldiers of the two detachments of the special operations detachment, all in civilian clothes, disguised as their attachés, actually played a protective role, left Xi'an, and marched to Wuqi through Luochuan and Yan'an.

To complete Tang Qiuli's important mission, before setting off, Tang Qiuli specially instructed the leader of the special operations detachment led by Tang Qiuli not to reveal his identity, which was the Red Army's control area, and not to have any conflict with the Red Army.

I believe that the Red Army will not embarrass Professor Ouyang and his party, you can accept their inspection with complete confidence, explain your intentions, even if you are a member of the party, don't be like seeing your relatives, and eagerly return to the arms of the organization.

If that's the case, you will never return to the independent division, just stay in northern Shaanxi, Tang Qiuli knows that there are many ** party members in the special operations detachment, and he is afraid that when they see the Red Army, they will be like a child who has been separated for many years and sees his mother.

Besides, ** is so poor that he is dying of poverty now, thin and thin, skinny and bone-ty, I heard that there is such a fat and strong army, there are a large number of party members in the control of the army, and the identity of party members is public, and there is a sound organization, do not send people to pull the team away, and order ** party members to mutiny, he is not surnamed Tang.

In addition, he also told Professor Ouyang not to be in a hurry, to determine the location and theoretical output of the oil field, and to carry out preliminary preparations on the spot, and the oil production and refining equipment ordered in the United States will soon be shipped here.

Professor Ouyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't expect that this young military commander was so thoughtful, he didn't do it himself, the equipment over there was all set, he was an expert, and he knew the value of complete sets of equipment, for him a poor professor, it was astronomical.

As long as there is oil, the equipment can be done, and he is very hopeful that in the northwest of China, he will create a miracle, China's first oil well, and the first oil refinery, born in his own hands, thinking of this, Professor Ouyang is simply impatient, eager to fly to the location of the oil field that Tang Qiuli said.

After arranging for the oil expedition team to set off, Tang Qiuli put his mind on how to get in touch with Zhang Yang.

Zhou Yushan has been very busy recently, the logistics support of thousands of people, plus the material preparation of Professor Ouyang and their expedition team, all fall on the shoulders of him, the chief of the baggage department, there is no way, the troops are from Beiping, it is impossible to prepare everything, he can only go to Xi'an City to procure.

After consulting the division commander, Zhou Yushan took more than a dozen soldiers from the baggage area and drove a few large trucks into the city, followed by several plainclothes, he didn't care, his identity was obvious, and he wasn't going to do any bad things, where were he afraid?

He didn't expect that his usual purchase this time would cause an uproar* and create an opportunity.

Entering the urban area, Xi'an at that time, because it was located in the northwest inland, far away from the coast, the economy was quite backward, not only with Nanjing, Shanghai can not be compared, but even Beiping, Tianjin can not be compared, the market is not rich in goods.

The ancient capital of several dynasties, in addition to the ancient monuments everywhere, the palace walls, telling the royal majesty and former glory of the past, now, like an unkempt woman, the passage of time has ruthlessly deprived her of her former appearance.

The market is depressed, the merchants are not prosperous, Zhou Yushan has a bag full of money, there is no place to spend the feeling, it took a lot of effort, almost all over the main commercial streets in Xi'an, the materials that need to be purchased, only a small half of the implementation.

Turning a street, there was a very large shop in front of him, an antique two-story building, and he could see the glory of the past, and Zhou Yushan was as happy as he had discovered a new world.

When he entered it, there were a lot of goods and everything, and almost everything he wanted to buy could be found here.

A capable guy in a cyan robe greeted him with a smile, and opened his mouth to say a few words in Xi'an dialect, Zhou Yushan didn't understand much, he handed over the purchase list in his hand, and the huge number of items listed on it made this guy's face change.

After taking a closer look at Zhou Yushan, his eyes fell on his military uniform, and he saw the number of the unit written on the badge of Zhou Yushan's military uniform, "The newly formed North China Independent Division of the National ** Army Army", his eyes flashed, and his smile became more attentive.

shouted a few words of local dialect inside, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked out, smiled lovely, exchanged a few words with Zhou Yushan, and instructed the guys, according to the boss's requirements, to prepare the goods in full, this is to help our commander-in-chief Yang to fight the Red Army, and we can't be lazy.

The guys are very quick to work, not a lot of effort, all the things are ready, Zhou Yushan is ready to pay according to the price marked above, in that era, what goods are clearly priced, at a glance, Tong Su is not deceitful, it is rare to see some merchants in later generations with a price of ten yuan, and there is a hidden phenomenon of zero behind.

If you don't buy it, you may be scolded and scolded, and you will not do well, and a few big men will come up and make you suffer, and in the end, you will buy something that is not worth ten yuan for 100 yuan, and say that you have taken a big advantage.

Zhou Yushan took out the money and put it on the counter as usual, and the manager put his hand on it, "Slow boss, did you miscalculate, these things are more than this little money"

Zhou Yushan was a little confused, and the manager said again: "The price of the purchase has risen, and we haven't had time to change the price, our owner instructed that the people of the North China Independent Division will come to buy things, and they will go according to the new price, which is five times the old price."
