Republic of China 1927

Chapter 47 Blood Splattered Taibai Building

[e="Tide Ride in the Republic of China"] With the withdrawal of the main force of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces to the north, the huge city of Xuzhou suddenly became empty.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there will be a fierce battle in Xuzhou when they see this posture. The wealthy households in the city and the civilians with relatives and friends in the countryside have all left the city to join relatives and friends or emigrate to other places. The beggars remained in the city.Starting in the morning, the engineer battalion of the Independent Division, with the help of the teaching group, began to recruit labor from the city to build the fortifications. The wandering people were all arrested and went to work, so the streets became even more deserted.

But there is one place in the city that is still full of singing, dancing and festivities, and this place is the best restaurant in the city——Taibailou.It is said that the Taibai Tower was first built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and has a history of nearly 500 years. The Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Revolutionary Party, Zhang Xun... all rulers have passed away, and the Taibai Tower still stands.It's just that few people know that Taibai Building just changed its owner last month.The original owner took a huge transfer fee and went to the concession to become a fool. After all, making money in such a chaotic situation is a trivial matter, but saving one's life is a major matter.

On this deserted street, under the hazy night, a black car drove quickly past the street, turned a corner at the end of the street, and stopped in front of the gate of Taibai Building. The ground has been parked full of all kinds of imported cars.

Du Yan stepped out of the car quickly, and was about to walk towards the gate when a vigorous figure approached.

"How's it going? Are you ready?" Du Yan asked in a low voice when he saw the person coming. He had no choice but to choose Taibai Tower to solve the issue of command authority. If he chose the Xuzhou City Defense Command, he might not care about you at all.

"It's all ready!" The visitor hesitated and said, "It's just..."

"Just what?" Du Yan asked lightly, "Is it because not all the people came?"

The person who came quickly said: "The commander really expected it. Da Mao didn't come, but Er Mao came!"

"If you didn't come, you didn't come. Hurry up and serve the food, otherwise the higher-ups will scold your mother." Du Yan said with concern, these little warlords are all good people, and they will inevitably keep their hands. Fortunately, the independent division has a plan, the Liangshan detachment Also ready.

At this time, the large private room on the second floor was in another scene, and the three tables were basically full.Although being left in various ministries in Xuzhou is a matter of fluctuating people's hearts and their own ghosts, Du Yan and Commander Du are not too cold, but Commander Du's banquet in Taibailou clearly shows that he is trying to gain ties with everyone, and it is not good to be too shameless. After all, Commander Zhang just Leaving Xuzhou, and the nearest enemy army is dozens of miles away from Xuzhou.

"What does the surname Du mean? We'll have to wait for you to set up a treat!" Zhang Jiwu, the commander of the 29th Army at the main table inside, scolded angrily, "You really think you're a commander!"

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is a little too much." Mao Siyi fanned the flames and said, "He is a real commander of the city defense, and the commander-in-chief has given him full power. Your and my lives are also in his hands!"

"Bah! The hair hasn't grown yet. It's fine if you serve me with good wine and meat. If you dare to rush in front of me, you have to ask me if the gun barrel on my waist will agree!" Zhang Jiwu patted his waist The pistol cursed indignantly, it was more annoying to be left behind, and it was unbearable to be commanded by a junior.

"The surname Du is also very interesting. The enemy's army is overwhelming. He didn't think about how to lead us to defend the city. Instead, he set up a banquet to build a relationship with us!" Jia Jichuan, the commander of the advancing army, touched his mustache and said: "I'm afraid I can't believe it!"

"Old Jia, you're a layman now. It's called concentric wine." Mao Siyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "After drinking this wine, we must kill the enemy with one heart!"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Jia Jichuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I heard that Dong Deguang of the Fifth Army, Xu Guangzhi of the Fifteenth Army, and Hu Dahai of the Cavalry Brigade were all pulled over by Du."

"I'm afraid of a bird, as long as we are of one mind, the surname Du dares to annoy us!" Zhang Jiwu said disdainfully. His 29th Army plus Ermao's two armies, Jia Jichuan's advancing army exceeded 1 people. Head-to-head is really true I am not afraid of independent teachers.

"Dong Deguang is a diehard surnamed Du, and Hu Dahai seems to be familiar with Du. As for Commander Xu, we can still fight for it." Mao Siyi rolled his eyes and said, "Commander Zhang, we all only follow you!"

"The three of you chatted so happily!" Dong Chunke came over and laughed and said, "Would you like me too!"

"That's natural, Commander Dong is now the popular man in front of Commander Du, we have to rely on him a lot!" Jia Jichuan said with a smile, "Speak a few words of kindness for us in front of Commander Du!"

"Old Jia, what you said is off the mark. I still understand Guanghua, and I admire you seniors in the military!" Dong Chunke hurriedly said modestly: "From now on, you will need a lot of help in defending the city!"

"Admiration? Why does admiration let us old fellows wait for him!" Zhang Jiwu said coldly, "Brother Deguang, you are too flattering to your fellow countryman!"

"Commander Du is here!" Dong Chunke was about to explain something to Du Yan when the guards shouted from outside, and many officers present stood up consciously.Some veteran officers or officers who thought they were veterans sat there talking to themselves without raising their heads.

"Everyone, everyone, I'm really sorry!" Du Yan quickly walked into the large private room and apologized, "I won't say anything else, and Du will punish himself with three cups later!"

"We can't afford to punish Commander Du for wine!" Mao Siyi said half-heartedly: "If you can come, you can look down on me!"

"Commander Mao was joking, everyone, please take a seat!" Du Yan said without hesitation, knowing that Er Mao was deliberately trying to instigate hatred for him.

After everyone was seated, the waiters outside filed in and brought up portions of carefully cooked delicacies. Suddenly, the VIP room was filled with fragrance and fragrance.

"Come on, I'll make three bowls first as an apology to all seniors!" Commander Du followed his word, filled the wine and drank three bowls without breathing.

"it is good!"

"Commander Du is really refreshing!"

"Brother Guanghua is a good drinker!"

……

Watching Commander Du drink from a big bowl of pretentiousness, there was a burst of applause in the room, and even Zhang Jiwu, who had been sniffing at Commander Du, showed a hint of admiration on his face.

"For the first cup, let's pay respects to Marshal Zhang, and wish him a comeback soon!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

……

"For the second cup, let's drink a bowl of concentric wine. From now on..."

"Done!"

"Dry!"

……

After a few big cups, many people were a little bit overwhelmed, but Du Yan didn't change his face and heartbeat, and smiled and interspersed among the tables to toast the generals one by one, and people who were not familiar with each other came and went. I also have a good impression of Commander Du.Wine quality is like character. In terms of wine quality and bearing alone, Commander Du is not an ordinary person, and it is even more impossible for him to be a little boy who started his career by relying on nepotism.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere on the table became lively, and we, Commander Du, began to pour bitter water on the wine table:

"Everyone, when I am the commander of the city defense, I am also rushing ducks to the shelves! Now that the main force is withdrawing to the north, the enemy must know the news. It will take three to five days, or one or two days. The enemy's tens of thousands of troops will fall to the city. Is good……"

"Soldiers come to bring the enemy to the weir, and there are tens of thousands of horses in our city. We are afraid of a bird!" Hu Dahai patted the table and said, "Guanghua, you can give orders, I, Hu, will not hesitate!"

"Yes, we must obey Commander Du's orders!"

……

Which one at the table is not human, knows when to say what to say, and is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to show loyalty. Anyway, it is at the wine table.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Du Yan changed his drunken attitude and said seriously: "There is no joke in the army. Since everyone respects Du Mou, Du Mou just has an idea to discuss with everyone!"

When I cleared my head, I soon realized that tonight's main course was finally coming.

"Do you guys know why our troops are better equipped and trained than Feng Christ's troops, yet we are defeated again and again?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, Du Yan asked himself and answered: "The biggest problem is that our army is in disarray and lacks morale. , Improper coordination!"

"What Guanghua said is very true. Take our city of Xuzhou as an example. There are only 4 or [-] defenders inside and outside the city, but they belong to more than a dozen units including seven or eight armies." Dong Chunke pretended to be heartbroken and said. : "We don't need the enemy to fight like this, we can't even make sense of it ourselves!"

"I don't know what solution Commander Du has?" Jia Jichuan asked cautiously, the more he listened, the more displeased he became.

"The current plan is to reorganize all the ministries and overcome the current difficulties!" Du Yan said slowly, "I don't know what you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, the VIP room immediately fell silent, everyone was quickly figuring out Commander Du's intentions, even the weak and timid broke out in a cold sweat!

"The surname is Du, you don't even want me to hand over the army!" Zhang Jiwu knew Du Yan's intention no matter how bad his brain was, and he was the first to jump out to object because he thought he was awesome.

"Mr. Zhang, you may have misunderstood." Du Yan explained indifferently: "Of course your army is still yours, it's just that everyone will reorganize and return to Zhao after the war!"

"My surname is Du, you lied to a three-year-old child!" Mao Siyi sneered and said, "You are annexing allied troops in the name of reorganized troops. If your independent division hadn't annexed so many allied troops, how many people would there be?"

"Everyone, I think what Commander Du said makes sense." Dong Chunke smoothed things over and said, "We are all playing tricks, and we are afraid that we will be eaten up by our opponents in the end. If we are twisted together, we may be able to survive death!"

"I, Hu Dahai, was the first to agree. There are only a few hundred troops left in my cavalry brigade. It all depends on Guanghua's arrangement!" Hu Dahai said without losing the opportunity.

"Our [-]th Army is also willing to obey Commander Du's orders!" Xu Guangzhi stood up after hesitating for a moment and said, looking at the scene, Du Yan obviously had something to eat, and he didn't expect this kid to attack so quickly and hate him so much!

……

One after another, several small hilltops expressed their obedience to the adaptation, but most of them were still hesitant to wait and see, or shirked and wanted to go back to discuss with their subordinates.

"Commander Du, our army commanders and division commanders are all appointed by the commander-in-chief, so you just do it like this..." Jia Jichuan said with a smile, implying that even Commander Zhang allowed us to be independent, let alone you, Du Guanghua!

"The commander-in-chief also asked us Commander Du to act cheaply. Didn't you just keep saying that you are willing to obey the dispatch of the city defense command!" Hu Dayan said in a bluff, "I don't want to admit it before it's off the table!"

"I'll just say this, everyone thinks it's feasible, so let's do it!" Du Yan said casually, "If you don't want to..."

"So what if you don't want to?" Zhang Jiwu said angrily, "Could it be that you dare to be tough!"

He said a lot, and many of the small warlords in the room started booing. The scene was very hot for a while. In fact, this was what Du Yan wanted to see. Otherwise, they would hand over their troops willingly. He was really not good. arrange.

"Hmph! There are really so many people who don't know how to praise you." Hu Dayan knocked on the table vigorously and said: "Since you can't figure it out, you should stay in this hotel and think about it. Our commander has booked a lot of rooms here!"

"Damn it, you still want to put us under house arrest!" Zhang Jiwu was so angry that he wanted to draw a pistol from his waist, and the expressions of the rest of the people who followed him changed their faces and prepared to rush out with force.

Everyone still realized that the pistol on Zhang Jiwu's waist was already in Du Yan's hand, and a guard with submachine guns rushed in outside the door. The muzzle of the gun was pointing at everyone in the room. Disarmed.

"Damn it, you're ruthless!" Zhang Jiwu said bitterly, "It's kind of like killing me!"

"My surname is Du, fortunately my elder brother didn't come." Mao Siyi also said arrogantly: "If you dare to touch a hair of my hair, my elder brother will never let you go!"

"That's right, it's no wonder I didn't see Commander Da Mao." Du Yan said with a cold smile, "But I've already sent someone to invite them, and it should be here by now!"

Before the words were finished, a few guards came in escorting the bloodstained and cursing Da Mao.

"Send the two army commanders on their way!" Du Yan waved his hands and Ermao was pulled out. A moment later, two gunshots sounded outside the door, and Ermao, who was full of crimes, died like this.

"Mr. Zhang, I think you are a man, and I don't care about you, but your troops must be handed over!" Du Yan patted Zhang Jiwu on the shoulder and said, "As for you, if you want to stay, I welcome you, and if you want to leave, I will offer you money." !"

"You are all the same, I have given you a chance." Du Yan turned his head to look at the more aggressive people just now and said: "Don't have any illusions, if I dare to do this, it will be fair!"

"If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay!" Zhang Jiwu nodded helplessly and said, "I'm tired, where is the room?"

"Han Gang, take Commander Zhang to rest!" Du Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Wait, can you call my guard?" Zhang Jiwu stopped after taking two steps outside and said, "I will leave the three or four thousand brothers of the 29th Army to you. Please treat them kindly!"

"Don't worry about this Commander Zhang, my opponents are always treated equally." Du Yan gave Li Yunshan a look, Zhang Jiwu obviously wanted to explain to his subordinates, lest his brothers would not cooperate with the adaptation. [e="Tide Ride in the Republic of China"]
