Chapter 224 Shameless

The on-duty staff officer of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters received a call from the pier saying that the steamer had been driven away, and immediately turned pale with fright. He briefly asked about the situation and immediately went to report to Tang Wuneng.

When Tang Wuneng learned that he was staying at Xiaguan Wharf and the small steamer he used to escape was snatched away, he couldn't help being furious, and immediately asked, "Who has the guts to do such a thing?"

The staff officer on duty said cautiously: "If you go back to the commander, it is Li Yunsheng, the colonel and section chief of the Secret Service. He led people into the pier, saying that he was carrying out the order of the garrison headquarters and that no ships were allowed to stay in Nanjing, so he forcibly drove the ship away. .”

After Tang Wuneng finished listening, he immediately opened his mouth to curse: "Wang Dahai is an idiot. He even let Li Yunsheng drive the boat away. Why didn't he stop it?"

The staff officer on duty said more cautiously: "Adjutant Wang has already been shot dead by Li Yunsheng on the spot, so no one dares to stop him."

Hearing that Wang Dahai had been killed, Tang Wuneng was furious, and immediately shouted: "Chief of Staff Zhou, you immediately take someone to the pier and bring Li Yunsheng back to me. How dare a small colonel kill my adjutant?" , What a brave man."

The chief of staff at the headquarters, Zhou Weisi, hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Commander, I'll go there right away," and immediately left the headquarters after speaking, leading some troops to the pier.

The staff officer on duty at the side wanted to say something, but seeing the furious Tang Wuneng, he could only keep silent.

Less than an hour later, Zhou came back in fear of death, and said helplessly to Tang Wuneng: "Commander, when I arrived at the pier, that kid had already escaped by boat, and only Wang Dahai's body was left in place."

Tang Wuneng glared, and said bitterly: "He dared to run away. I want to see where he can go. Immediately send a telegram to the Military Commission to arrest Li Yunsheng in the name of deserters."

Zhou was afraid to take a look at Tang Wuneng, and then said with a sigh: "Commander, we can't pursue this matter at all. Even if we report this matter to the Military Commission, it will be useless."

Tang Wuneng asked differently: "Why is this? He, a little colonel, dared to openly disobey my orders. Could it be that I can't deal with him?"

Zhou feared death and said softly: "The Secret Service has the right to supervise the military police constitution, and we have publicly issued a military order before, in order to fight the Japanese army, no ships are allowed to stay in Nanjing. It is in this name that Li Yunsheng drove away. Little Steamer."

Hearing this, Tang Wuneng felt as if he had eaten a fly. He didn't expect that the military order he issued would be used by others, and he had nothing to do.

However, Tang Wuneng was also an old fox in the officialdom of the Republic of China, and his intrigue methods were proficient. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea, so he said: "It can be said that he drove the small steamer to execute a military order, but he didn't have an order, and he killed him without authorization." Army Lieutenant Colonel Wang Dahai, this crime is not light, so he sent a telegram to the Military Commission on this charge, asking them to arrest Li Yunsheng."

Zhou said with a wry smile, "Commander, this charge is not valid. When the people from the Secret Service stepped forward to drive away the small steamer, Wang Dahai stepped forward to stop him. Li Yunsheng used the excuse of hiding the ship and blatantly disobeying military orders. Shoot Wang Dahai, after all, the Secret Service has the right to enforce wartime regulations, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Tang Wu Neng walked back and forth in the headquarters, but he couldn't think of any way, so he said unwillingly: "Could it be that I am a general of the army, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, and I have nothing to do with a little colonel."

Zhou feared death and said helplessly: "Commander, if Li Yunsheng hadn't left at that time, but had stayed in Nanjing, we could have dealt with it easily. We could just charge him with a crime and execute him on the spot. But now that he has left Nanjing, we are beyond our reach. , and the Secret Service is not only the direct line of the leader, but also the knife in the leader's hand, their people are not easy to move, and Dai Chunfeng of the Secret Service is not someone to mess with."

Tang Wuneng said bitterly: "Then let's put this matter aside and settle accounts with him in the future. The little colonels dared to fight against me, and they even had the guts to kill my adjutant. , if you don’t clean him up, who will take me seriously in the future.”

Zhou feared death and immediately said: "The commander is right, we will settle accounts with him in the future, and now the small steamer we left behind has been driven away by that daring little thief, and Nanjing is surrounded by water on three sides, and the Japanese army surrounded it from the southeast. Come here, if you want to leave, you can only cross the Yangtze River by boat, the most urgent task now is to find a boat that can leave."

Tang Wuneng thought for a while, and then agreed: "You are right. Now Nanjing's outlying positions have been lost too much, and the Japanese army will soon besiege the city. The current situation is very dangerous, so we must find a way to leave."

Zhou said anxiously, "But our boat has already been driven away by that little thief, so what should we do?"

Tang Wuneng said confidently: "Don't worry, we are not the only ones in Nanjing who have left behind, and several senior officers have kept ships in private."

Zhou Fear's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The commander means that we are going to seize their ships."

Tang Wuneng nodded, and then said softly: "That's right, you take people there yourself, and after you find the ship, no matter who it belongs to, immediately confiscate it."

Zhou hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Commander, the ships left behind are used by some senior officers to save their lives. I'm afraid they won't let me confiscate them easily."

Tang Wuneng stared, and said viciously: "This is war time, whoever dares to disobey the military order can be punished on the spot," and then said lightly: "We also learn from that Li Yunsheng, let's kill him first and then play."

Zhou said in fear of death: "But those who dare to keep the ships privately are all direct descendants of high-ranking officers and leaders. They have soldiers and horses in their hands, so things are not easy to handle."

Tang Wuneng also frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said confidently: "It's okay, I will hold a high-level military meeting in a while, and call all the high-level military officers to the headquarters, so that you can do things more conveniently, don't ordinary officers, Do you still dare to stop you, the chief of staff?"

Zhou was afraid of death and immediately said: "Commander, your move is really good."

Tang Wuneng said with emotion: "I have no choice but to. If it's not a matter of life and death, I don't want to offend these people. After all, they are all powerful figures, but the current situation is critical and I can't take care of it anymore. I can only focus on saving my life." .”

Zhou feared death and immediately said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely investigate and try to pick someone with the lowest status to strike. However, the meeting here needs to be held a little longer, so that I will have more time."

Tang Wuneng said calmly: "You can act with confidence and boldness. You have plenty of time. The leader has issued an order before that you can evacuate Nanjing when things cannot be done. Now is the right time to announce this decision and study the evacuation plan."

Zhou was afraid of death, and then he was relieved, and then the two discussed again, and then they separated.

While Tang Wuneng and Zhou were afraid of death to study the countermeasures, the story of Li Yunsheng shooting Wang Dahai and driving away the little steamer also spread among the senior officers in Nanjing.

Most of the senior military officers gloated over this matter. After all, Tang Wuneng's several military orders were obviously unreasonable. In addition to his improper command, the outer positions of Nanjing City were destroyed within two or three days. The Japanese army broke through, so many people were dissatisfied with him.

However, Li Yunsheng, such a small colonel, dared to stroke Tang's incompetent tiger's beard, which surprised these senior officers. After all, no matter how powerful the Secret Service is, the status of the two is too disparate.

Even Li Yunsheng's instructor, Hao Jinyuan, was quite surprised by this, so he asked Wang Zhengdao, the commander of the [-]th Division: "Master, Yunsheng slapped Tang Wuneng openly this time, how do you think he will react?"

Wang Zhengdao said with a smile: "If there is any reaction, I can only bear it first. After all, you are not a free student. Although the things you did are surprising, everything is well-founded. The Secret Service has the authority to supervise the military and police constitution, and they enforce wartime discipline, and no one can say anything."

Hao Jinyuan sighed and said: "Ke Yunsheng shot Wang Dahai openly, this is really too much."

Wang Zhengdao said happily: "I think Li Yunsheng did a good job this time. If it weren't for Tang Wuneng, a bastard who wanted to defend Nanjing, and his command was not good, how could the brothers face such a bad situation."

The defense of Nanjing commanded by Tang Wuneng was a mess, which made many senior generals dissatisfied. Wang Zhengdao was one of them, so it was very natural to hear that Li Yunsheng shot Wang Dahai and took away the small steamer Tang Wuneng used to escape. Happy.

Seeing that Wang Zhengdao was so happy, Hao Jinyuan said helplessly: "But Tang Wuneng is an army general after all. If Yun Sheng does this, how can he let it go, and he will inevitably cause trouble in the future."

Wang Zhengdao glanced at Hao Jinyuan, and then said softly: "Why, I'm worried about your students, and I'm afraid that Tang Wuneng will find an opportunity to retaliate."

Hao Jinyuan nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes, Tang Wuneng is not a man of capacity. If Yun Sheng is a big shot, maybe he will hold back this tone, but the difference in status between the two is so big, he will definitely find opportunities in the future revenge."

Wang Zhengdao said calmly: "You don't have to worry about it. That student of yours is not a simple person. Look at his shooting of Wang Dahai. Everything was well-organized, and no one can catch him. Moreover, Tang Wuneng had no choice but to evacuate Nanjing decisively."

Hao Jinyuan nodded in agreement, but there was still worry on his face. Seeing this, Wang Zhengdao continued to speak: "Even if Tang Wuneng wants to take revenge in the future, he may not have a chance. If you come to Ming, Commander Chen will block it. If he plays tricks, I'm afraid he will ask for trouble, but don't forget what your student does, plotting tricks is your student's strong point."
