Listening to Wang Huzi's reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness after drinking too much, Zhou Wen was thinking about next year, oh no, Zhou Wen looked at his watch, it was already the 19th year of the Republic of China.
The Central Plains War is about to break out this year. This is the largest warlord melee in modern Chinese history, with more than one million participants and hundreds of thousands of casualties. And Henan is the main battlefield.
Zhou Wen didn't know exactly how to fight, but he knew that the Nationalist Army lost first and then won, and finally drove several big warlords out of the country or out of the country. The Nationalist Government basically returned power to the central government.
But Zhou Wen knew that there was a good opportunity, an opportunity that could be used to join the National Army. But the prerequisite is that the supplementary regiment cannot be used as cannon fodder before a good opportunity arrives.
Zhou Wen knew a little bit about Shi Yousan's situation. No way, his title of defecting general caused much discussion in later generations. During the Central Plains War, he first followed Feng Yuxiang to rebel against Chiang Kai-shek, and later in the war, he defected to Chiang Kai-shek and turned against Feng Yuxiang. After the Central Plains War, he defected to Zhang Xueliang, the marshal of the Northeast Army, and later to Wang Jingwei.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he wanted to surrender to the Japanese and become a traitor. In the end, he was kidnapped by his sworn brother, the patriotic general Gao Shuxun, who wanted to eliminate harm for the country for the sake of the national plan. On the pretext of attending a meeting, he was kidnapped, tied around his neck with a hemp rope, and buried alive on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at his life, he was just a dishonest and unrighteous villain.
Now that the main direct descendants of the three Shiyous are all in Anhui, and the war is about to begin, marginal troops such as the supplementary regiment will not be transferred to Anhui. They can only order the supplementary regiment to be merged into the anti-Chiang army in Henan. The main force in Henan was Yan Laochao's Jin army. The Jin army can be said to be from their hometown, and if the time comes, they will have a high chance of retaining the supplementary regiment.
Thinking of this, he said to Xu Dacheng: "Dacheng, go and close the door. Let's talk about our own affairs."
After everyone heard this, they knew that Zhou Wen had something important to discuss, so they all stopped talking and looked at him.
After Xu Dacheng closed the door and sat down, Zhou Wen said: "Uncle Beard, Old Uncle Wu, the situation may be a little bad recently. There are some rumors about Zhou Jinbao in the city, and the National Army Chief Qian we rescued last time There are also some rumors. Our Marshal Feng, Marshal Yan from Shanxi, and Marshal Li from the Guangxi faction have recently had bad relations with the commander-in-chief of the National Army. These three warlords may unite to fight against the National Army."
Wang Huzi woke up immediately and blurted out: "Confrontation? How to fight?" Everyone else also looked at Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen said in a deep voice: "A war, an unprecedented war. And it is estimated to be very soon, not more than half a year."
Everyone was silent, Wang Beard and Old Uncle Wu both lit cigarettes. In the smoke, Wang Huzi thought hard for a long time, and then asked with a little hope: "Is this news reliable? Is it just their speculation? We can't mess up ourselves first, should we wait for the news to be confirmed? Now, what should we decide?"
Zhou Wen solemnly said: "Uncle Beard, Old Uncle Wu, Senior Brother, Brother Shanzi, Dacheng, do you believe me?" Zhou Wen decided to cut through the mess quickly and not give them any illusions.
Miaohua, Gao Xiaoshan and Xu Dacheng heard from Zhou Wen last time and were mentally prepared, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. Wang Beard and Old Uncle Wu were a bit confused. I can't digest this heavy material at once.
But when he heard the word "believe", Wang Huzi blurted out like a conditioned reflex: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? Then scholar, tell me, what kind of regulations should we have?" Just kidding, if there is a slight hesitation, still I don’t know what trouble is waiting for me, but I can’t afford it.
Zhou Wen continued: "I'm sure there will be a war, and it will definitely happen soon. What we need to discuss is how to respond and how to protect us."
Xu Dacheng blurted out: "Awen, didn't you say last time that you wanted to make a contribution and join the National Army?"
After Wang Huzi heard this, Monk Zhanger was even more puzzled and asked: "What? Join the National Army?" He was still thinking, "So you have discussed it before, but you have kept me in the dark. The same goes for this mountain boy. Or is he not his nephew? Why don’t you tell Gao Xiaoshan about such a big event in advance." After thinking about it, he glared at Gao Xiaoshan complainingly.
Gao Xiaoshan felt miserable. It was Awen who didn't let me say it. Now Dacheng let it slip. Uncle Beard still didn't complain to me. Why is it so difficult to be a human being?
Zhou Wen sighed secretly, Dacheng just couldn't keep his temper, so he shouldn't say something to him. He felt sorry for his brother and was afraid that he would have random thoughts like last time. But let's face it, he doesn't know the importance of it, so why can't he give people some peace of mind.
He turned to Xu Dacheng and said solemnly: "Dacheng, let me ask you, when our transport team is meeting, why do I call you the only one among the team leaders except the three of us?
Let me ask you again, why didn't Brother Shanzi and Senior Brother Miaohua speak just now, but you opened your mouth and told me what I asked you to keep secret?
Finally, I want to ask you, why did I keep it a secret from the group leader and Old Uncle Wu? Think carefully and answer me. "After saying that, she looked at him quietly.
Xu Dacheng's face turned red when he knew he was in trouble. But it has been in the limelight a lot recently, and I feel that I have contributed to it. After listening to Zhou Wen's words, he felt that they were too harsh and hurt his self-esteem. The young man's stubbornness became stronger and he turned his head and said nothing.
Zhou Wen will not tolerate him anymore. It will be a life and death battle soon. If he cannot unify his thoughts and strict discipline, there will be big trouble in the future. If good brothers don't grow up quickly, they will die in the future.
He raised his voice and said: "Xu Dacheng, let me help you answer the first question. I think you have been reading and literate since you were a child, so you should understand the truth earlier. I hope you can understand it faster than other brothers, and understand it more quickly." Grow up quickly. I'm nurturing you, you know?
If, I mean if, one day I die in battle, Brother Shanzi and Senior Brother Miaohua also die in battle, can you stand up and lead the brothers to continue fighting. Continue to realize our ideals and goals.
However, I am very disappointed. You have just shown some ability in our team, and you have become self-satisfied and inflated. You feel that you are also a person, but you do not have the maturity and responsibility that you should have. "
Xu Dacheng felt that the problem was getting serious. Awen had never talked to him like this before. I began to feel that maybe I was really wrong. Hearing the word "die in battle", inexplicable sadness surged in my heart, and my eyes became red.
Zhou Wen continued: "Second question, Brother Shanzi and Brother Miaohua are both calm and perceptive people. They know that I have not finished speaking and it is not time to express my opinion. At the same time, they respect me. So they all Didn't say anything. But you took advantage of your relationship with me to talk about the secrets without thinking or thinking about it. You blurted out the confidential things casually. You are called arrogance based on favor, and you also trapped Brother Shanzi into injustice. among.”
Then he said: "The third question, why should we hide it from Uncle Beard? It's because Uncle Beard had just got his revenge, and it was when he was satisfied and proud. We can't harm him with things that haven't been implemented yet. Mood.
Since I came back, I have been running to the city, firstly to get equipment, and secondly to inquire about information from all parties. You have also gone with me several times, why don't you use your own brain to think about it? Brother Shanzi and Senior Brother Miaohua can figure this out, why can't you? "
Wang Huzi saw that Zhou Wen was serious and Xu Dacheng's face was full of tears, so he started to persuade him: "Okay, scholar, let's see what you say about Dacheng. Who can avoid making mistakes? Uncle, I know you too." The painstaking efforts of these children. This matter is over, huh?"
