Age of Rebirth

Chapter 570: Situation in Haozhou ([-])

After staying in the corridor for less than 10 minutes, Shanhu opened the door and came out, handing a stack of letter papers to Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli looked through it roughly, nodded, turned and walked back to the office, and followed behind. Feng Zhi'an was wondering, what did Captain Huang hand over to the teacher?

Entering the office, Feng Zhi'an was taken aback, Li Zonghan seemed to be a different person, his face was no longer sallow, but pale, his whole body seemed to be soaked in sweat, his tie was hanging crookedly around his neck, a strand of hair was covered with Sweat was sticking to his forehead droopingly, his eyes were dull, his gold-rimmed glasses drooped on his ears, and he looked like he was out of his wits.

Tang Qiuli walked in front of him and said in a flat tone: "Mayor Li, I'm sorry to bother you. Tang Mou is leaving. By the way, there is one more thing to trouble Mayor Li. My troops are in Haozhou, and there is no good day. Life is over, in the name of the city government, you immediately arrange to go to comfort Li Zonghan and ask Lao Jun, so that my soldiers can also have a good meal and good food! Is this not embarrassing you?"

Li Zonghan came back to his senses, and he didn't care about his image. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I must do it, I must do it, and I am guilty of a low position. Please, Vice Chairman Tang, show your noble hand!" Tang Qiuli turned and walked out without saying a word. In the office, only Li Zonghan, who was devastated, was left in a daze. Everything just now, like a nightmare, made him shudder. [

Suddenly remembering the task Tang Qiuli gave before leaving, he quickly grabbed the phone and issued a series of instructions. After receiving the orders from the mayor, all the subordinate agencies of the city government were busy immediately, but everyone was very puzzled. Mayor Li When did you change your mind? A few days ago, you were still clamoring to starve and run away these soldiers, but today you let them send big fish and meat. It's hard to figure out what it's like to be an official, don't you understand?

Back at the corps garrison, Tang Qiuli handed the confession materials written by Li Zonghan to Feng Zhian, and his face changed just as he read a few pages. As he expected, there was really a big man behind Li Zonghan, not someone else but Tang Qiu Li's arch-enemy has already been knocked down, but He Yingqin, who still has potential power, is the one who stirs up trouble behind the scenes, and Li Zonghan is just a pawn jumping on the front stage.

This Li Zonghan is a cousin of He Yingqin, and it was his cousin He Yingqin who was able to get the position of mayor of Bozhou. After that, more than half of the troops were reduced, and they withdrew to Haozhou for rest. He Yingqin learned about this from letters between Li Zonghan and Li Zonghan.

He started to use his brains, and He Yingqin hated Tang Qiuli deeply. The reason why he has fallen to where he is today is that he was a man of great influence and control over the political situation of the Republic of China, and now he is neglected in front of the door and completely marginalized. The transformation was all thanks to Tang Qiuli, and he never reviewed his actions.

Therefore, he recruited Li Zonghan to Nanjing, taught him face-to-face, prepared to make a big fuss, hit Tang Qiuli's prestige, and vented his anger. When the legion fled south, they looted and looted in Haozhou, like locusts passing through the border, and caused great harm to the citizens of Haozhou. Hate it to the bone.

As long as it is stirred up, the emotions of the people are like sparks splashed on dry wood, and it will immediately ignite a fire. He Yingqin is indeed a veteran of conspiracy and tricks. He knows how to use the people. His intention is best for Tang Qiuli's troops , I can't bear it, shooting at the citizens, killing people is the most ideal, the more people die, the better, he will secretly contact some people, impeach Tang Qiuli in the government, and let him have a big somersault.

The idea is good, and the starting point is also very accurate. After Li Zonghan returned to Haozhou, he acted according to the plan. First, let the wind go out, slander the Sulu Garrison Corps, and incite the opposition between the citizens and the troops. He was fanning the flames and expanding the situation, and then, under the pretext of the will of the people, cut off the supplies of the Sulu Garrison Corps, in order to anger the soldiers of the army and do irrational things, which also fit He Yingqin's calculation.

After reading it, Feng Zhi'an was in a cold sweat. It turned out that there was such a deep background behind the incident, which involved a member of the Central Committee. Although He Yingqin is not in his position now, his relatives, friends, and party members who have supported him for many years are still there. Take this If you make a fuss about things, the chances of winning are still very high. Fortunately, the division commander had the opportunity to restrain the troops from acting rashly, and came to deal with the matter in person. Otherwise, there might be a lot of trouble, and he himself would become the sinner who ruined the troops.

Feng Zhi'an looked at the young teacher with complicated emotions, carefully handed back Li Zonghan's confession materials to Tang Qiuli, and asked, "Master, this matter is very important and involves too much, how do you want to deal with this matter?" Qiu Li changed the subject, "Commander Feng, should Li Zonghan bring the things here too? Have a good dinner tonight!"

Feng Zhi'an couldn't figure it out, but seeing his master's confidence, he knew that Tang Qiu had already made up his mind, and he was very emotional. He was already over half a hundred years old, and he thought he had a lot of experience, but he didn't see it. Behind the scenes, now it seems that this young teacher is the one who hides his secrets and has a gully in his chest. He is calm and sees through the essence of the incident at a glance. .

Li Zonghan really worked hard, and he has already sent a lot of chicken, duck, fish, dozens of big fat pigs that have been slaughtered, and carts of vegetables and rice noodles. Since the army arrived in Haozhou, he has not eaten a decent meal. According to the practice of division troops, the military expenses of each unit are fully supplied, and that unit is not short of money.

However, the ground in Haozhou is evil. Quartermasters and purchasers, holding white oceans, can’t buy anything. Those vendors and shops all have the same caliber. The devils ran away to feed the defeated soldiers, not to mention the beasts who harmed the common people. If the meat and vegetables were not bought, it would not count.

There is no way, I can only go to the countryside to buy some coarse grains and dried vegetables, and just deal with being half-starved. Now, as soon as the teacher comes, the situation will change immediately. The mayor of that shit sent things in person. Showing their skills, the tangy smell of meat permeated the entire camp, and the soldiers talked and laughed happily while gulping their saliva.

Tang Qiuli stood at the door and looked at these soldiers with a smile. In fact, their request was very simple. As long as they could eat enough, they didn't ask for big fish and meat. The soldiers passing by would salute solemnly when they saw the teacher. Looking at his teacher with fiery eyes, Tang Qiuli felt a kind of sincere respect from their eyes, and he also solemnly returned the salute.

At this moment, Feng Zhi'an pulled Shanhu aside and asked him quietly: "Captain Huang, I'm still confused about something. How did you get that Li Zonghan to tell the truth without daring to tell a lie, and even wrote it in your own handwriting?" The person who gave the materials? I think that guy looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water?"

Shan Hu grinned, and told Feng Zhi'an in a low voice, it was actually very simple. I asked someone to tie him to the leg of the table, stuffed a grenade into his arms, tied the string with a rope, and we hid in the middle, slowly. Slowly tighten the rope, who knows, this guy is very tough, his teeth are clenched tightly, and he simply closes his eyes, with a virtuous behavior.

I motioned to a soldier, took out another grenade, pulled the string in front of his face, and then stuffed it into his arms, the fuse "嗤嗤" smoked, this guy screamed, and passed out. After waking up, he asked and said what he didn't ask, and even what he didn't ask was shaken out. He also cheated on his wife, raised two wives, and made a lot of public money. This is all explained. In fact, it is a stinky coin. It will not explode at all.

Feng Zhi'an shook his head, sighed again and again, stretched out his thumb towards Shanhu, and said, "Captain Huang, absolutely, you have a way, don't beat or scold, this kind of interrogation method, I have lived most of my life, or It was the first encounter with a strong general and a weak soldier. It was an eye-opener to follow the division commander today! I was worried that the army would torture current officials privately, and the lawsuit would go to the Executive Yuan, which would also damage the division commander’s reputation.” Shan Hu secretly laughed, this is so bad, if it fell into the hands of Brother Qiuquan, it would be a hundred times worse than this. The people in the special warfare detachment are veterans in interrogating prisoners, and there is no mouth that cannot be pried open.

The night covered the city of Haozhou. It was already around nine o'clock in the evening. The soldiers who had had a full meal went to rest satisfied. The whole camp was silent. There was an atmosphere of heavy security throughout the camp. [

Only the room where Tang Qiuli was resting was still brightly lit. Feng Zhian and Shan Hu sat beside him. Feng Zhian waited for the opportunity to report the situation of the troops to Tang Qiuli. One-half, the current strength is more than 1000 people, many regiments are incomplete, and several regiment leaders were killed.

In addition, after arriving in Haozhou, a series of incidents against the army occurred, and the morale of the army fluctuated. Many soldiers felt that they were not motivated, because many soldiers of the 29th Army were recruited in the Pingjin area. Bloodshed and sacrificed but received such treatment, it is inevitable that there will be grievances in my heart.

However, it’s all right now. When the division commander came to rescue the troops, the soldiers had a backbone, and that Li Zonghan personally sent condolences. When I was having dinner just now, I walked around. The morale of the soldiers has basically recovered. The mood has also stabilized, but there is one question that everyone is concerned about. With so many troops reduced, will the division seat revoke the designation of the Sulu Defense Corps and organize the troops into other regiments.

From Feng Zhian's words, Tang Qiuli clearly grasped the inner pulse of the former officers and soldiers of the 29th Army. They still couldn't forget their old troops in their hearts. However, Tang Qiuli didn't feel anything strange. All the troops are the same. When they were first formed, this kind of temperament had already remained in the troops. No matter what designation they changed to, they couldn't change it, especially the 29th Army was still the old base of the Northwest Army.

Why not? I often miss the time of the Bloody Hands. He was about to have a detailed talk with Feng Zhian when Qiu Quan came in and nodded at Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli smiled and said to Feng Zhian: "Feng Zhian Commander, go and watch a good show with me again!"
