    Chapter 280: Rectifying the military and political affairs

    The betrayal of Song Zheyuan by the officers within the 29th Army made him heartbroken. He dealt with it personally. He couldn't bear it for his old brother who had followed him for many years. The 29th Army has been fighting in bitter cold places. Brothers  Following myself, I endured many hardships. In the past few years, I finally arrived in the rich land of Pingjin and was able to enjoy the blessings, but something like this happened!

    Before the matter becomes serious and irreversible, send them away from the 29th Army, and they can have a happy ending. If you are more merciful, you will harm them, and they will sink deeper, unable to turn back, and you will not be able to save them.  Tang Qiuli had no close relationship with them.

    From Qiu Li's behavior towards the Japanese, it can be seen that he will not be merciful or merciful to those who are willing to be the slaves of the Japanese. Therefore, Song Zheyuan entrusted Tang Qiuli to handle this matter.

    And write a warrant. From now on, Tang Qiuli will act as the acting army commander and have full authority to handle all matters related to the 29th Army, including the resignation, promotion and transfer of officers.

    Tang Qiuli is going to the military headquarters of the 29th Army now. He has already conveyed orders to all departments of the 29th Army. Officers at the level of major and above should go to the military headquarters to hold an emergency meeting.

    There were about 200 officers of the 29th Army and above the rank of major. They were sitting in the conference room with solemn expressions. However, everyone's inner activities were not as calm as they appeared on the surface. There were even flashing eyes from a few people.  , revealing their inner uneasiness.

    It has been 3 days since the old army commander was assassinated, and his life or death was uncertain. When he went to visit him, he was blocked by the guards of Deputy Commander Tang without exception. If it were not for the presence of the head of the security regiment of the 29th Army, these people would almost suspect the assassination of the army commander.  Yes, he is from Deputy Commander Tang.

    Rumors are spreading all over the world, and most of them are that the old army commander has died. It is just to stabilize the overall situation of Pingjin and not announce it to the public for the time being. If this happens, the political situation of Pingjin will face a reshuffle. At this time, it is very important to stand in line. If you take a step forward, maybe  It's heaven, maybe it's hell. Faced with the choice of personal future, honor or disgrace, many people's minds can't help but become active.

    Some young officers hoped that Deputy Commander Tang would come back to take charge of the overall situation. Tang Qiuli's impressive performance in suppressing bandits in Xiaowutai Mountain made these hard-blooded soldiers even more admired. However, the older generation of senior officers had much more complicated ideas.

    They also hope that Tang Qiuli will come back to take charge of the overall situation, but they are worried that Tang Qiuli is still too young to take on such a big responsibility, and will not be able to suppress the veteran faction within the 29th Army, as well as those who are jumping up and down in the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee.  of the limelight.

    They didn't have much hope for Song Zheyuan's condition. Even if the army commander didn't die on the spot, his life was in critical condition and there was almost no sign of improvement. Otherwise, facing the turbulent political situation in Pingjin, even if he had a little strength, he would  Come out and stabilize the situation.

    Regarding the assassination of the army commander, they believed that the Japanese were responsible. However, they did not rule out the possibility of other forces being responsible. It would depend on who was the biggest beneficiary of the Song case. Following this line of thinking, they suddenly had the idea  It was a creepy feeling, and I broke into a cold sweat because of my speculation.

    The biggest beneficiary was obviously Tang Qiuli, the second most popular figure in the Pingjin area. After having this uneasy thought, these old men of the 29th Army closed their doors and thanked their guests.  Living in seclusion and not talking about political affairs, in this treacherous and unpredictable juncture, if you are not careful, it will be a disaster for your family.

    Tang Qiuli faced the complicated eyes of officers at all levels and walked into the conference room with a calm face. Amidst the command of the duty officer, the officers stood at attention and saluted Tang Qiuli. His position and military rank were clearly stated. He was the only one present.  General, he is also the first deputy commander of the 29th Army.

    Tang Qiuli didn't have any more words. He took Song Zheyuan's order from Zhao Yuhe and handed it to Deputy Commander Qin Dechun. As Song Zheyuan's assistant and old friend for many years, Qin Dechun certainly recognized that it was Song Zheyuan's own handwriting.

    He had a complicated expression. He glanced at Tang Qiuli, who was like a newborn sunrise, and instantly felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In terms of qualifications and status in the 29th Army, he was the acting commander.

    Qin Dechun is not an ambitious person, and he consciously cannot control the current chaotic political situation in Pingjin. However, the momentary loss and slight jealousy still well up in his heart. This young man who is much younger than himself makes Qin Dechun feel powerless in his heart.  Feeling is the feeling that the sun is fading and time is passing away.

    After Song Zheyuan's order was read out, there was a frozen silence below, and then like a breeze blowing across the lake, a whispering "buzz" sounded. No one doubted the commander's order announced by Qin Dechun, but was full of surprise and surprise about the decision.  Confuse.

    "Since the commander can write the order, it means he is in good health, but why did he refuse to see them? Tang Qiuli looked at everyone with eyes like autumn water. Deputy Commander Qin and Deputy Commander Tang on the stage formed a sharp contrast.Like the rising sun and the setting sun.

    Applause suddenly rang out, and it was concentrated at the back of the conference room. It was the applause of the Young Officers to express their welcome to Tang Qiuli. After a while, thunderous applause flooded the conference room. The matter had become a foregone conclusion. The highly respected Deputy Qin  None of the army commanders expressed any objection. No matter how helpless and unwilling they were, it would not help.

    As a result, Tang Qiuli fully took control of the 29th Army. This army has the old foundation of the Northwest Army. In them, the shadow of the founder of the Northwest Army, General Feng Yuxiang, can be seen. From today on, they will  We have embarked on a different path, and future changes and twists and turns are also inevitable in history.

    Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order. First, the ** division sent weapons and ammunition, which were immediately distributed to all units. Priority was given to equipping the front-line troops confronting the Japanese army to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible to deal with emergencies.

    As for the equipment problem of the second-line troops, we should solve it immediately. We should seize the bandits' weapons, select good replacement troops and equipment, eliminate the old and worn-out guns, and then allocate part of them from the ** Division to equip the 29th Army.

    This made the officers at all levels of the 29th Army very excited. They had all seen the guns and ammunition escorted back by Zhao Dengyu's 113th Brigade, and they were extremely greedy. They were all good stuff. Listen.  Even if the army commander has to supplement it, that means everyone has a share.

    Tang Qiuli knew for sure that in a few months, 30,000 Somi submachine guns tailor-made for the ** division would arrive in Laidi, the United States. The guns that the troops had replaced would be equipped with two weapons.  Nineteenth Army.

    Then, Tang Qiuli ordered all troops to immediately return to the original defense area. The martial law in the three areas of Pingjin and Bao was abolished. The Pingjin Security Headquarters issued orders and posted notices. After returning to the original defense area, each unit closely monitored all movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side.  , without my order, the chief officers at all levels are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. They must report to me twice a day at the combat command post on the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side.

    The troop action order was immediately issued by the staff office. He paused and glanced at the officers below. Those officers who had ulterior motives felt their eyes being stabbed by lightning, and their hearts trembled.

    The final order announced was that the senior officers would be relieved of their military duties, immediately hand over their military affairs, and repatriated to their hometowns. Finally, Song Zheyuan could not bear the long-lasting friendship and gave each of them a generous sum of Sichuan assets.  , so that they can ensure food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

    This money, considering the financial situation of the 29th Army, Song Zheyuan could not afford. To Tang Qiuli, it was not even a drop in the bucket. Seeing the man's embarrassed posture, he paid for it himself and gave it to Tang Qiuli in the name of Song Zheyuan.  For these veterans of the 29th Army who have gone astray, take into account the years of friendship between them.

    Tang Qiuli used vigorous and resolute means to decisively eliminate the unstable factors within the 29th Army. At this point, he had no psychological burden at all. Instead of keeping these people who would become a disaster sooner or later, it was better to eliminate them as soon as possible.

    At the critical moment when they and the Japanese were fighting to the death, these people might bring their troops to join the Japanese, or stab them in the back. There are countless such examples in history.

    The atmosphere within the 29th Army was completely new. Without these senior officers who clamored to defect to the Japanese all day long, officers at all levels were no longer confused and devoted themselves to the training of the army.

    Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Zhao Yuhe to tailor a training plan for the 29th Army with reference to the training syllabus of the ** Division and the characteristics of the 29th Army, and as the personal representative of the acting commander, he would be stationed in  Here, supervise and guide the training process.

    The officers saw the acting commander's methods and installed a large number of advanced weapons. The firepower of each unit reached a big level at that time. The training methods brought by Zhao Yuhe, for these officers and soldiers,  They are all brand new topics.

    In front of them, a brand new field opened up. Most of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were born in the harsh and cold northwest of the country. They developed characters that were hard-working and fearless of death. The new training method took the initial stage.  After implementation, the results were excellent, the military quality of the officers and soldiers improved by leaps and bounds, and the entire army was filled with vitality.

    Tang Qiuli inspected several troops on the front line and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the training results. After all, they were men from the northwest. Soldiers from the ** Division. Their training conditions and material supplies were several times higher than those of the 29th Army. The recruits  The training effect is only slightly higher than theirs. It seems that the quality of the soldiers determines the future combat effectiveness of the army.

    On the 29th Army side, the morale of the troops was stable, and Tang Qiuli's various orders were carried out smoothly, and his energy was no longer involved.

    Tang Qiuli began to deal with the internal affairs of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee.

    Song Zheyuan was assassinated, Tang Qiuli was outside, and within the Jicha Government Affairs Committee, a group of dragons were leaderless. With Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin, and QiThe pro-Japanese faction headed by the Yuan Dynasty, together with followers of all sizes, formed a majority within the Political Affairs Committee, echoing each other and influencing the political situation in Hebei, Chacha, and Pingjin.

    And Wang Yitang, a white-haired old thief and a powerful man, regarded himself as the actual leader of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee. He seemed to represent the public opinion, advocated pro-Japanese arguments, reiterated the autonomy of the five provinces in North China, excluded the opposition within the Government Affairs Committee, and also intervened.  Police affairs in Beijing and Tianjin are very busy and full of enthusiasm.
