Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Under the low night, Yan Xishan and Yang Wei didn't speak for a long time, they looked at each other, standing motionless like sculptures.

Yan Xishan looked at Yang Wei, and what he was most concerned about now was not what method Yang Wei used to transfer his arms in full view, but that he couldn't figure out Yang Wei's real thoughts. This person was Chiang Kai-shek's brain trust According to common sense, the military adviser should report his smuggling of arms to Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible, but Yang Wei dismissed Yang Yongtai, obviously not intending to make this matter a big deal.

Help yourself?No, Yan Xishan immediately denied such an idea. Yang Wei had absolutely no reason to do so. After this intention is unknown, there is likely to be a bigger conspiracy hidden.

Yang Wei looked at Yan Xishan unhurriedly. He knew that Yan Xishan must be full of mixed feelings and thoughts at this time. After a cunning flashed in Yang Wei's eyes that could not be detected, he looked at Yan Xishan very sincerely and said: " Chairman Yan, please rest assured that Yang Wei is not someone who takes advantage of the fire to rob. As for the military supplies, [-] Hanyang-made Type [-] rifles, [-] Mauser pistols and [-] rounds of ammunition will all be returned in their original numbers. It will be sent back to the Taiyuan Military Supplies Department in the next day."

Yan Xishan looked at Yang Wei with unbelievable eyes. He couldn't figure out whether it was Yang Wei or his own ears that had the problem, so he blurted out without thinking: "Nonsense! Captain Yang, the number has been cut by half by you. Can you also call the original number back?" Blood Quenching Mountain and River 236

"Halved?" Yang Wei seemed more surprised than Yan Xishan, and looked at Yan Xishan in disbelief and said, "That means two thousand Hanyang-made Type 20 rifles, four thousand Mauser pistols and [-] bullets? It seems that "Chairman Yan" is really determined to rebel?"

Yan Xishan suddenly felt bad. It turned out that Yang Wei had been waiting for him here. Poor Yan Xishan knew that half of his arms had been taken away by Yang Weike, but he could only suffer silently. Even after greeting Yang Wei's family all over again, it was still hard to get rid of the anger in his heart.

Seeing Yan Xishan bowing his head and accepting his fate, Yang Wei nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Chairman Yan, the quantity of military supplies is not the main problem, the problem lies in Chairman Yan's attitude. Think about it." Since the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force can be entrusted to Chairman Yan, it can be seen that Principal Jiang's trust in the Chairman is extraordinary. It's chilling."

What Yang Wei said was true. Yan Xishan was very aware of the huge difference between the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force and the head of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. Chiang Kai-shek was indeed determined to offer such a bargaining chip.

In contrast, since Yan Xishan had no intention of opposing Chiang, but only hoped to provoke the relationship between Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek, so as to make himself a fisherman, if this is the case, then Yan Xishan's purpose has already been achieved.

Even if half the amount of arms was exchanged for an official position, Yan Xishan was doing a business that was sure to win and not lose. Thinking of this, Yan Xishan suddenly smiled, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Principal Jiang, for your trust and promotion."

As soon as Yan Xishan expressed his enthusiastic attitude, Yang Wei immediately poured cold water on him and said seriously: "Wait a minute, Chairman Yan, there are some things that we haven't discussed clearly. I can send the military supplies to Chairman Yan." , It’s just that it seems a bit hasty to end this matter like this? Since President Jiang has shown his trust in Chairman Yan, shouldn’t Chairman Yan make some gestures to show his loyalty? Otherwise, if Yan “Chairman” Chairman” and then mobilize the military supplies of the Taiyuan Military Supply Department, Yang Wei may not be able to explain it.”

This remark made Yan Xishan stunned for a moment. Dare to love Yang Wei used the tactic of suppressing first and then raising the conditions. He could not help but feel a little sullen in his heart, but it was not easy to explode, and he said in a low voice dissatisfied: "Yang What does the captain mean, what do you want me to do? Why don’t you just say it directly.”

Yang Wei said with a fake smile: "Join soldiers."

After Yan Xishan heard about it, he immediately flew into a rage. Even Chiang Kai-shek would not dare to say anything about surrendering military power in front of him. Yang Wei simply regarded himself as a fool. gain a foothold?Even becoming the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force is useless!

Before Yan Xishan could get angry, Yang Wei quickly explained: "Chairman Yan has misunderstood, the so-called fighting is not what Chairman Yan thought."

In Yang Wei's words, the meaning is to ask Yan Xishan to hand over some troops temporarily. Anyway, the Jinsui Army is Yan Xishan's flesh, not to mention a division and a brigade, even a soldier and a pawn. It is to ask Yan Xishan to hand over his troops as a guarantee and mortgage, so that both of them can feel at ease with each other.

The calculations in Yan Xishan's mind were running fast, exchanging military power for official positions, the pros and cons of it were difficult to weigh for a while, not to mention that no one knew the future development, it seemed a bit reckless, so he lowered his voice and said calmly : "Captain Yang, putting your own soldiers in other people's hands is always easy to cause trouble for others. Isn't this a bit too cumbersome? What's more, soldiers are like guns. Not only do they need to be maintained frequently, they must also be worn frequently. Is it the same as throwing guns in the warehouse and waiting to be scrapped?"

Yang Wei couldn't help but waved his hands with a smile and said: "Chairman Yan is too worried. Naturally, he won't stay idle after handing over his troops. What I mean is that I hope Chairman Yan will hand over a certain amount of troops. Similarly, I will also hand over my troops." With the same number of troops, organize these soldiers into a coalition, so that you will have me among you, and you will have you among me, and there will be no problem of distrust."

Listening to Yang Wei's suggestion is not only novel but also seems to be reliable, Yan Xishan pondered for a long time, and pointed out the key question without hesitation: "Then dare to ask, who will control the coalition forces?"

"This..." Yang Wei pondered for a while pretending to be embarrassed, and then suddenly said: "I have a good idea, how about this, we each send out five divisions to form a coalition army, and hand over the other troops Give the other party control, whoever surrenders more troops than the other party can get control of the coalition forces, how about this? Chairman Yan, rest assured, this matter is a secret between you and me, and no one else will know about it. On the one hand, it is to prove to "Chairman Yan" that I will not tell the principal that the general needs weapons, and on the other hand, I hope that "Chairman Yan" can prove that he will not collude with others again. Isn't it wonderful?"

Yang Wei suddenly brought up such a concept. Yan Xishan couldn't react for a while, but he could easily hear Yang Wei's intention to win over the relationship. This made Yan Xishan very happy. If he could get Yang Wei's help, it would be more effective than the two Feng Yuxiangs. Although he seemed to understand but half understood, he also agreed to Yang Wei's request, and said excitedly: "Then, how should we fight this battle?"

Yang Wei shook his five fingers and said: "Now the coalition army has ten divisions. I will send five divisions to Chairman Yan. If you are lower than my strength, the command right can only be handed over to me."

Yan Xishan immediately said: "I'll give you six."

"Seven."

"Eight!"

Yan Xishan gritted his teeth and his face was full of evil spirits. You must know that the coalition army has the strength of ten divisions, as long as it is less than this number, it will make a steady profit without losing money, but Yang Wei on the opposite side hesitated, pondered for a moment and then shook his head helplessly. Said: "Chairman Yan, Yang Wei is ashamed of his lack of troops. As long as you give me the strength of eight divisions, the command of the coalition forces will be handed over to you!"

"Okay!" Yan Xishan said loudly with joy, "deal!"

Ever since, Yan Xishan gave Yang Wei eight divisions as a price in exchange for the command of a coalition consisting of five divisions each from Yan Xishan and Yang Wei. Yang Wei, who left sadly, looked at the stars and sighed: " Poor, the math teacher died so early."
