When Ouyang Yun and his entourage arrived at the construction site, the situation was already tense and uncontrollable.

Bounded by a street under construction, two parts of the army with completely different clothes and weapons and equipment are facing each other with loaded guns and ammunition, and among them, there are Cantonese bigwigs led by Xiang Hanping and Shan Xiong, Guo Da, Mu Jiandie and others.

Xiang Hanping was working hard as a peacemaker at this time, and what embarrassed him was that Zhang Da and others, who were former high-ranking officials of the Cantonese department, were certainly not pretending to be kind to him, and Shan Renxiong and others were also obviously perfunctory.

The single male could not walk on his own, so he was carried over. With his fiery temper, if it weren't for his inflexible hands and feet, he would definitely have been on the same page as Zhang Da.

"It's a military seat!" Li Ganjiang had the best eyes, and was the first to discover Ouyang Yun's car.

The others looked over, and many people greeted them. The single male glanced at Xiang Hanping, waited for him to come over and whispered in his ear: "General Xiang, let people look at Zhang Da's subordinates, don't hide one or two unscrupulous elements in it." Once someone takes the opportunity to assassinate the military seat, it will be really difficult to clean up. ”

Shan Xiong also has a careful side, Xiang Hanping nodded again and again after listening, and then called his guard battalion commander Fang Dong'er, and asked him to take the guards to closely monitor Zhang Da's subordinates to prevent accidents.

Fang Dong'er arranged for people to go. Ouyang Yun asked the driver to park the car on the side of the Xuebing Army, and then walked to the center with only Jiang Shuren, Bai Tassel and a few others. He observed all the way, and saw that there was almost no shortage of high-ranking officials in the original Cantonese department, so he knew it in his heart, and especially told Guo Biao: "Old Guo, you are not allowed to speak at that time." ”

"What are you doing?"

"Obey orders!"

"Yes!"

Ouyang Yun was still more than ten meters away from everyone, Zhang Da took the lead to greet him, and a wicked person came to sue first: "Commander Ouyang, your subordinates injured the soldiers of our army on patrol missions, and the head of the military police regiment under my command ** Shi wanted to take people back to investigate, but as a result, he was stopped by the armed forces of your army. How? Do you think our Cantonese army is easy to bully?! ”

The scale of the confrontation camp between the two sides exceeded everyone's expectations. On one side were the two divisions of the Second Army under Zhang Da, with a total number of more than 20,000 people. On one side, there is a brigade under the command of Guo Da and Li Ganjiang, and the number of people has exceeded 10,000. The more people there are, the greater the variables, so everyone is unanimously opposed to Ouyang Yun taking risks alone without any security measures. Ouyang Yun's answer was wonderful: What are you afraid of? Aren't they all my men? If I don't even have the courage to face them, how can I get them to admit that I am their commander?

"Ouyang, this kind of thing can't be angry!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

Is Ouyang Yun really sure? No one knows the Tao except himself. Zhang Da's words made it clear that he did not recognize Ouyang Yun's identity as a leader. Guo Biao was furious when he boarded, if it wasn't for Li Tieshu pulling him, he would definitely have rushed up and decided to speak with his fists at this moment.

Ouyang Yun did not answer Zhang Da's question immediately, but walked in front of everyone, first saluted everyone, and then said thank you to Xiang Hanping. "I don't know what's going on here, and I don't want to know about it now."

Ouyang Yun's performance was a bit unpopular for Zhang Da, and he immediately became angry: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Everyone else looked at Ouyang Yun, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Ouyang Yun asked Guo Biao to get a megaphone, and he said to Zhang Da: "I am now the director of Guangdong appeasement, come to meet my subordinates, what?" Can't you? ”

The so-called appeasement director is the product of the consensus reached between the Xuebing Army and Lao Chiang. It is also Ouyang Yun's official identity on the scene.

Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "What do you mean, you don't want to solve this matter?" ”

At this time, Guo Biao had already taken the megaphone. Ouyang Yun took it, ignored Zhang Da, and pointed at the more than 20,000 Cantonese officers and soldiers, and said loudly: "Brothers, I am Ouyang Yun, and I have a few words to say to you." ”

"Bastard!" "Arrogant!" …… Ouyang Yun's approach aroused strong dissatisfaction from Zhang Da and others, and several people whispered: "What? He, Ouyang Yun, wanted to rely on his eloquence to come to the scene to rebel, hmph, he also underestimated our Guangdong army too much. "Listen to what he has to say." "I really don't know what Lu Dao Xiang Hanping thinks, hmph, there are days when he regrets it." ……

Ouyang Yun was already making an impromptu speech loudly: "When the student army enters Guangdong, many people must think that I, Ouyang Yun, are here to reap the benefits." After eight years of governance by General Chen Jitang, Guangdong has made great progress in both industry and people's livelihood, as well as in the first industry. In this regard, General Chen has made tremendous contributions to Guangdong, and I would like to express my deep gratitude. But what I want to say is that our original Renqiu is no worse than Guangzhou. A lot of people don't believe it, do they? Okay, I'll list a few detailed comparisons. First of all, I would like to ask you, as an ordinary soldier, how much is your monthly salary? ”

No one answered this question, and Ouyang Yun didn't need them to answer, he continued: "It's an ocean, right?" Moreover, it is not possible to get it on time every month. Seeming, there are far fewer security forces. What is the salary of an ordinary soldier in our student army? Five oceans - some people will definitely not believe it, I will give you a chance to confront you on the spot, opposite you are the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Divisions, you can ask any of them to see if I am lying! ”

After he said this, the Cantonese officers and soldiers of the Second Army began to riot on a small scale, and many people whispered and began to discuss the truth of the matter.

Behind Ouyang Yun, several high-ranking officials of the Cantonese department couldn't stand still, and one of them walked up to Xiang Hanping and asked loudly: "Junzao, what does Ouyang Yun mean?" Is this trying to expose our old roots? Hmph, looking at the whole country, which army does not have the phenomenon of eating military salaries. Damn, this kid is so poisonous! ”

Xiang Hanping's face is not good-looking. During the Republic of China, the phenomenon of soldiers eating salaries was extremely common in various troops, and the Cantonese system was quite good, because few people ate empty salaries. In many places, the actual strength of the armed forces is often only one-third of what was reported. As soon as Ouyang Yun said this, there were many people who were offended. Xiang Hanping: "Wait for him to finish!" ”

Ouyang Yun waited for a while, leaving a certain amount of time for the officers and soldiers of the Cantonese department to think, and then he continued: "Many people will definitely think, the student army is very rich!" Yes, I don't deny that we are indeed very rich. Let me tell you that we have several companies in the United States, and they are all engaged in ultra-profitable businesses. Therefore, we have the ability to pay high salaries to the officers and men without levying agricultural taxes. Brothers of the Guangdong army, we did not come to Guangdong because of the richness of Guangdong. Immodest to say, we are richer than you. The reason why we want to stay away from our homeland and come to Guangdong is because we still want to fight devils, and we need time to accumulate strength. Brothers, what are you soldiers for? Someone will definitely say it - to protect the family and defend the country. If anyone really says that to me, I will pay him back four words - bullshit, hypocrisy! The ancients said that a good man should not be a soldier. What are we doing as soldiers, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune! Someone laughed (below, there are indeed quite a few grinning), don't you agree with my statement? Oh, hypocrisy! Do you know what the Tao is, can we learn from the army and have no offense with the people? Because we're not short of money! Those who are officers can get bonuses from military enterprises, and they are not bad for money, so they will not rack their brains to deduct military salaries. Officials do not withhold military salaries, and those who become soldiers can get their salaries on time, so naturally they don't need to spend more brains to harass the people to generate income. Brothers, who is born with the desire to do bad things and be poked in the back? No, the reason why he took risks was not forced by life! I understand that. It seems that a lot of nonsense has been said, so let's talk about it on point! Many people suspect the intentions of our student army to come to Guangdong, and think that our student army will annex you. Now I can tell you unequivocally, yes, the Cadet Army is going to annex you—"

These words were a bit weighty, and as soon as Ouyang Yun finished speaking, there was an uproar below. And the senior officials of the Cantonese department began to ask Xiang Hanping for one thing: Can the officers of the military really share dividends from the enterprises they belong to? Xiang Hanping has been in Renqiu for a long time, and he knows this matter very well. It was only at this time that he understood why Ouyang Yun was so fearless, it turned out that he had Brother Kong Fang's backing! Well, this is really the seven inches that hold people's hearts. Joining a soldier is to be promoted and make a fortune, which sounds vulgar, but it is the truth. He gave everyone an affirmative answer, and at this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Cantonese system, who were originally united in their opposition to the clouds and wanted to re-erect the banner of the Cantonese system, were polarized in their camps.

Ouyang Yun waited for a moment again, and after the noise below gradually subsided, he said, "But I promise, there is a time limit. As long as little Japan is defeated, our student army will definitely leave. At that time, you are free to choose whether you are willing to continue to follow the Cadet Army or re-erect the banner of the Cantonese Army. In addition, I would like to assure you that there are only two kinds of enemies, one is the foreign invaders, and the other is the hostile force that threatens our Cadet Army. I, Ouyang Yun, will not use you to deal with my enemies, nor will I use you to seek my own personal interests, if you violate this article, you have the right to refuse to carry out the order! ”

"Sir!" A small soldier squeezed out of the crowd and raised his hand and shouted.

"Shout report!?" Ouyang Yun looked at him and shouted even louder.

The soldier immediately stood up and shouted, "Report! ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "If you have something to say, please speak!" ”

Everyone looked at the little soldier, and many Cantonese officers and soldiers who knew him even whispered: "It's Hu Erhai." "What does Hu Erhai want to do?"

Ouyang Yun stared, looked around at everyone, and shouted, "Who is making a noise?" I don't know that there is no order from the governor in the road, is it necessary to ask for instructions when speaking on this occasion? ”

The scene was silent, including Zhang Da and others, and all of them were suppressed for a while.
