When the principal saw the middle-aged man shut his mouth, he knew that he had given up the idea of having a hand in this matter. He continued with satisfaction: "Although this boy is not good at all, he has one advantage that is very desirable, that is, he values friendship. This is true for me as the principal, and it is also true for other officers who have friendships with him and have helped him.
Mu Yin was kind to him, so he helped Mu Yin achieve success by capturing flags and killing generals along the way. Ruoshui and he had a life-long friendship. When he went to Shanxi, he would not only not harm Ruoshui, but would do his best to help Ruoshui gain a foothold in Shanxi. Now tell me, is it appropriate to send Ruoshui? "
The middle-aged man immediately bowed and responded: "The principal is far-sighted, and his skill in recognizing and employing people is unmatched by humble positions. Now that I listened to the principal's instructions, I suddenly understood the principal's far-reaching intentions. He appointed Xiao Zhou as a party official and escorted Ruoshui. Entering Shanxi all the way, this not only saves the face of the Party Headquarters, but also gives the Party Headquarters a local foundation for its development in Shanxi. Admire! Admire!"
The principal was quite proud to receive the compliment from this subordinate who was quite famous in the world's cultural circles. He waved his hands reservedly and said, "You are too modest, so let's not do this between us. Now that we have clear opinions on how to deal with it, Well, go to Nanjing yourself and get this thing done. Tell them that since they want to save face, they should be more generous, and you don’t need me to teach you how to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, right?"
"Yes, I will leave immediately and explain the truth to them clearly. It's just the transportation team's retirement certificate..."
"I will hold on for a while. It is best to give him the letter of appointment from the party department and the certificate of retirement. Don't let this little bandit take the opportunity to escape. Although he has more bad habits, he is still a capable person. , we have to use its strengths."
…
Zhou Wen, who was in Xuchang, actually already knew that the transportation team was about to be transferred to the Central Party Headquarters. This was also the result of Liu Ruoshui coming to plan with him before. He knew that the idea of retiring the transport team and returning home would not be easy to achieve, especially after he forged a life-or-death feud with the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Central Party Headquarters, and the situation became even more complicated.
While Liu Ruoshui was running around taking care of Zhou Wen, he got advice from his family elders and thought of a way. It is to take advantage of this opportunity that the Central Party Committee is riding a tiger to get an opportunity for itself and Zhou Wen's transportation team.
After the end of the Central Plains War, the Kuomintang will definitely control and govern the provinces ruled by warlords such as Shanxi and Shaanxi, which were previously completely separated from central control. But Shanxi is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Army under Marshal Zhang. Marshal Zhang once promised Marshal Yan, who was in the field, not to send troops into Shanxi. Naturally, the Central Government could not send troops either, otherwise it would conflict with the Northeast Army.
Then, governance in Shanxi can only start from two aspects: party affairs and administration. With the administration under the command of the Party Headquarters, the Party affairs tasks became extremely important. The status of the Party Headquarters Commissioner sent to Shanxi also increased and became very popular. Once he was done, he would become a frontier official and a high-ranking official.
Originally, it was not Liu Ruoshui's turn to fill the position of special commissioner of the party department, but if Zhou Wen, a native of Shanxi, and his team were added, he would really be the only one suitable for this position. Even if Zhou Wenli sends other people to him, he won't take care of it. How can he carry out his work if his life is not guaranteed? That's why Liu Ruoshui came to Xuchang to interview Zhou Wen, hoping to get Zhou Wen's support.
Zhou Wen immediately agreed. First of all, he wanted to support this big brother. He knew history. After the Central Plains War, Shanxi was basically under the control of the Kuomintang. Although Chief Yan was later re-appointed as Chairman of Shanxi Province, Shanxi remained consistent with the Kuomintang until the final liberation. Therefore, the work of supporting Liu Ruoshui is basically not difficult.
The second reason is that the future development and entrepreneurship of the mercenary group in Shanxi will require connections in all aspects, and it will be easier to get things done if you have a party title.
For the third time, Zhou Wen only had a grudge against the Party Affairs Investigation Section, but he was unable to confront the entire Central Party Headquarters. Taking up a position in the Taiyuan branch of the Central Party Headquarters greatly eased the previous conflicts between the two parties and gave the Central Party Headquarters enough face.
In this way, the conflict between Zhou Wen and the Party Affairs Investigation Section became a conflict between two departments under the Party Headquarters. They saved the face of the Party Headquarters and recruited talents at the same time. This was a double win for the Central Party Headquarters.
Liu Ruoshui got the coveted position of a feudal official out of thin air. From then on, he rose through the ranks and had a bright future. And Zhou Wen can retire and go home, with the background of the Central Party Committee, and his future development will only be smoother.
As a result, a handling opinion that was satisfactory to all three parties was issued, and was finally approved by the principal. So for Zhou Wen, the road home is already smooth, without any obstacles.
In the last few days of October 1930, Zhou Wen gave his brothers money to take a holiday, and they all went to the city to relax. The only stipulations are that one cannot gamble and the other cannot engage in prostitution. We are going back to Shanxi soon, so we have to relax in training and let the brothers relax for a few days. The troops of the Third Army Corps stationed in Xuchang have been transferred. Just kidding, since the last time the Third Army protected the Party Affairs Investigation Section and became a 25-year-old boy, in the past two weeks, let alone white flour, I couldn't even get a tael of wheat peel.
The garrison had been without food for a long time. It couldn't stand it any longer, so it begged its father and grandma to apply for a defense change. In the end, it was transferred back to the Third Army by the Southern Front Command. In fact, it would not be good for them to return to the Third Army, because the logistics of the entire Third Army are allocated by the Southern Logistics Department. As long as Zhou Wen and Ai Xiqi find an excuse to fool them, the entire Army will starve. If you dare to use force, come and try it.
That Chief He watched helplessly as the team was deprived of supplies for several days. Finally, he had no choice but to report it to the principal. Instead, the principal cursed him, and finally said: "Wipe your own shit. I don't care." "In the end, Commander He had no choice but to lower his head and ask Commander Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front. Commander Qian saw that his old rival who had once been domineering in front of him bowed his head and recognized his inferiority. While he was feeling comfortable, he did not care about himself, so he ordered Ai Xiqi to open a position. Food, this solved the dilemma of the Third Army.
However, the prestige of Chief He also plummeted. He was eventually transferred from the Third Army Corps by the principal and became a casual senior staff officer at the headquarters. He never had the opportunity to lead the army again. The Third Army Corps was also disbanded and reorganized. In fact, he was just a reckless man who didn't understand politics. In the end, he didn't know that he had become a young man, which violated the principal's taboo.
Not to mention the ending of Commander He's second and fifth sons, let's just say that Zhou Wen was in the private room of the re-opened Piaoxiang Restaurant in Xuchang City this afternoon, practicing for Zhou Jinbao, who is about to go to Nanjing Central Army Military Academy (formerly Whampoa Military Academy) for further studies.
