Chapter 61: The Soldiers' Committee

The title on the letterhead reads "List of the ** in the Renqiu Government and the Cadet Division", followed by more than a dozen names, of which Kangdafu ranks first.

Lao Song was silent, and asked for a while: "Where did you get it, is it reliable?" ”

Liu Ruming replied honestly: "Tu Feiyuan gave it, they caught a ** leader in Yidong, and through his mouth, they caught another important ** leader......

Lao Song looked up at him and said in a deep voice, "Ru Ming, haven't we fought enough civil wars?" ”

"You don't have to fight, as long as the military seat doesn't object, you can do it without blood."

Thinking that Feng Zhi'an's close subordinate Ji Xingwen was serving as the chief of staff in the Cadet Division, Lao Song sighed and said, "It seems that you have reached a consensus with Zhi'an?" ”

Liu Ruming did not plead, and said: "Junzao, think about it, what is the reason why we can get together a group of subordinates, isn't it just that we can provide some protection for their families? Look at this! He took out another list from his arms, but this time it was a list of officers who had property in Renqiu above the commander of the 29th military battalion, "But now that Ouyang Yun is doing this, many people have a lot of empty land at home but can't find anyone to cultivate it......"

Lao Song understood everything, leaned back in the chair and said, "You go down first, let me think about it." ”

"Yesβ€”but, Gunza, the Japanese said they would attack the equipment ship of the expedition the day after tomorrow, and Tohihara wanted us to make plans early."

Lao Song waved his hand, and Liu Ruming made a military salute and retreated.

Two days later, at about nine o'clock in the evening, in the office of Ji Xingwen of the Renqiu military camp, five regimental-level deputy regiment-level officers headed by Chen Guangming stood solemnly in front of him. There was a letter on the desk between them, and when Chen Guangming and the others put this letter in front of Ji Xingwen, he only slipped away and saw that it was the handwriting of the old chief Feng Zhi'an.

The content of the letter was not much, only a few lines of more than 200 words, but the more he read it, the more chilling he became. Feng Zhi'an first counted Ouyang Yun's various bad deeds in the letter, and then expressed his good intentions of stuffing him into the military division. In the end, let him cooperate with the military department to obtain control of the Cadet Division, and said that he would definitely be the commander of the Cadet Division in the future, but just in case, Ouyang Yun and Li Tieshu must be eradicated, and thoughtfully wrote that if he can't do it, Chen Guangming and others can come forward.

Is it really the meaning of the military department? Ji Xingwen had many doubts in his heart - he was clear about the relationship between Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun, so to speak, without Song Zheyuan, there would be no Ouyang Yun today, but if there was no Ouyang Yun, there would be no today's apprentice. The 29th Army, especially the 38th Division, will not be as tough as it is now. Is this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, or unloading the mill and killing the donkey, or is it because the existence of the cadet has infringed on the interests of some people?!

Chen Guangming saw that he was silent for a long time, and said, "Chief of Staff, do you think it's hard to start, then let us do a good job." ”

Feng Zhi'an won this position for him, or this opportunity for the 129th Regiment, and he naturally understood his true intentions. In this era, the soldiers who eat food are to protect their families and defend the country, but when they really go to a high position and sit in Feng Zhi'an's current chair, what they consider is definitely not these high-sounding things. How to preserve their strength, master more people, and gain a place in this troubled world is their real need. Feng Zhi'an originally sent the 129th Regiment to the Cadet Division, just hoping to get more support from the strength of the Soldiers, but now, the Cadet Division has been out of their control, and has gradually formed its own style, not to mention that Ouyang Yun's current land reform has seriously threatened the actual interests of some people, that is, if he does not carry out land reform, according to the current development speed of the Cadet Division, sooner or later he will become a thorn in the side of others, and gradually become a meal on someone's plate - this is a cannibalistic society!

Feng Zhi'an seemed to have become suspicious of his position, otherwise he would not have sent this letter through Chen Guangming and others instead of looking for him directly. He sighed, looked at Chen Guangming, looked at the few people around him, and said with a smile, "What are you going to do?" Commander Ouyang was surrounded by people from the Wolf Tooth Brigade who were protecting. ”

"Wolf Tooth Brigade? If the entire brigade were to protect Ouyang Yun, we would definitely not have a chance to succeed, but now there are only a few people around him? Chief of Staff, since you are not ready to do it yourself, then I'm sorry, I can only wronged you for a few hours," Chen Guangming said and clapped his hands, and neat footsteps sounded outside, and then "Stand up, take a break!" ”

Ji Xingwen's face changed, and he shouted: "Chen Guangming, what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Guangming saluted apologetically and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm sorry, this is the order of the division, if you refuse to cooperate with us, then we can only protect you first, so as not to hurt you if the bullet doesn't last long." ”

I'm afraid that he was injured is fake, and I'm afraid that he will report to Ouyang Yun is true. Ji Xingwen's face became quite ugly, and he shouted, "Chen Guangming, you are so bold? Are you trying to start a mutiny? What about them? ”

Xiao Er is his adjutant, and his guard platoon is in charge of Xiao Er.

Chen Guangming said: "Don't worry, Xiao Er has nothing to do, we just let him and the brothers of the guard platoon rest first." Jinshan, let's go, this matter should be sooner rather than later! ”

Two gun-wielding soldiers walked in, they saluted Ji Xingwen very politely, and closed the door after Chen Guangming and them went out, and then stood behind the gate like a god, firmly controlling the gate. These two soldiers are from the guard battalion of the 37th Division, and Ji Xingwen and them can be regarded as old acquaintances, but the urgency of the matter does not allow him to take care of much, he instinctively took out his pistol, turned on the bolt and aimed it at the chest of one of them, and said, "Get out of the way!" ”

"Commander Ji, this is Senior Commander Feng's order, please don't make it difficult for us!" The soldiers faced the swarthy muzzle of the gun and said with a smile, without a hint of flinching, as if they had calculated that Ji Xingwen would not shoot!

"Senior Commander Feng, you want me to be a national sinner!" Ji Xingwen's hands trembled, and he screamed like a wounded beast, threw the gun on the ground, sat on the chair, and closed his eyes.

There is no moon tonight, and under the stars, the Renqiu military camp looks particularly quiet. After the re-planning of the Renqiu barracks, the layout is much simpler and more reasonable, Ji Xingwen's office was a piece of military shelter not long ago, next to the military house is a huge training ground, behind the barracks is the ordnance warehouse, behind the ordnance warehouse is the officer's compound. As soon as Chen Guangming walked out of Ji Xingwen's office, the soldiers scattered around him quickly surrounded him under the leadership of the officer, there were more than 200 of them in total, each with a white towel tied to his right arm, obviously coming prepared.

Chen Guangming asked the leader: "Chen Jiaohua, are the brothers ready?" ”

Chen Jiaohua is a man about thirty years old, and when he heard this, he said in a somewhat nervous and excited tone: "Tuanzao, all ready, do you want to act now?!" ”

"Let's get moving!"

"Okay, brothers, follow closely, and if you encounter resistance, you will be killed!"

Chen Guangming took out his pistol and led the way to the officer's compound, and under the dim street lamp, the team of more than 200 people did not say a word, only made a somewhat messy footsteps. Walking into the middle of the two side-by-side military houses, two figures flashed out in front of them, Chen Guangming saw them and asked, "Is Ouyang Yun in the dormitory?" ”

These two people were in charge of monitoring Ouyang Yun's movements, and one of them said anxiously: "Yes, but ......"

Chen Guangming already felt that something was wrong, because there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps in front of him, and then the soldiers of the brigade poured out of the opposite aisle from nowhere, he had a ghost in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

After a while, he understood. The crowd on the opposite side surrounded them, and the dozen or so people at the head were the largest officer in the barracks, the platoon commander, including his men. These people are the backbone of the so-called soldiers' council, and they are here at this time, and the answer is already obvious.

When he was still in Wancun, there were only a few hundred apprentices, and Ouyang Yun had the idea of setting up a soldiers' committee. And the reason why he wanted to set up such an organization was that he only hoped to cultivate the subjective consciousness of the soldiers, so that they could have a mouthpiece of their own, so that they would no longer become the tools of others, and they would no longer be powerless to control their own destiny.

At the beginning of the establishment of the soldiers' committee, Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen did not support it, believing that it would affect the prestige of the officers and over time make it impossible for the troops to maintain orders and prohibitions. The strength of a single soldier is weak, and after a bunch of soldiers huddle together, this strength cannot be underestimated, and at that time, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will inevitably have unpredictable side effects. Ouyang Yun was resolutely supportive, pointing out that the times have changed, and the nature of the army has also changed. In the current situation, the army should not be an instrument of a certain person or a force, and soldiers should not be regarded as victims, they have the right to choose their own path.

For the organization of the Soldiers' Committee, Chen Guangming and the others began to scoff at the capital, thinking that it was purely Ouyang Yun's move to buy people's hearts, but now, as hundreds of soldiers stood in front of them, he knew that he was wrong.

The role of the soldiers' committee is not only to serve as the mouthpiece of the soldiers to reflect the voice of the soldiers to the upper peak, but also, as the largest number of people in the army, it is impossible for any disturbance in the army to escape their eyes, which means that if they do not get the approval of the majority of soldiers, the officers will inevitably suffer unprecedented pressure if they want to make a big move.

Chen Guangming's various actions against Ouyang Yun may be able to hide from Ouyang Yun, the supreme commander, or Ji Xingwen, the direct commander, but they are destined to be unable to hide from the eyes of all the soldiers - you must know that the eyes of the masses are bright!!
