Vol 3 Chapter 192: Marching northwest

Hanjing in June is a sea of ​​flowers and firecrackers. The joy of the founding of New China is like the spring breeze blowing all over the streets of the city, except for one place.
On the outskirts of Hanjing, beside the Yangtze River, the new campus of Huaxia Military Academy.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Shusheng ordered the relocation of the Huaxia Military Academy to Hanjing, while a considerable number of other military schools remained in the southwest. As the starting point of the new government, compared with other places, the construction of various colleges and universities is much earlier. Major universities and colleges, including military academies, have already taken a step ahead of the country. If it wasn't for bringing the highest Chinese military academy around, Zhang Shusheng would even want to keep it in Dongchuan.
For example, the China Army University in Yibin (formerly the Southwest Army Academy after the Huaxia Military Academy), the First Scout Academy, the China Air Force University and Armored Forces Command University in Chengdu, the China Communications Academy in Mianyang, and the China Artillery Command Academy in Chongqing , Kunming's People's Army Logistics Academy, China Academy of Engineering, Second Scout Academy, Second Southwest Army University in Dongchuan District, Guangxi Army University in Guilin (Guangxi Army Lecture Hall rebuilt during the Southwest Government), Fangchenggang A large number of military academies, such as the Chinese Naval University, the Second Scout Academy of Guiyang, etc. This does not include some military academies that train technical personnel.
In the 15 years of construction achievements, Southwest China has surpassed the rest of the country in many aspects such as education, culture, economy, and society. In order to maintain a certain degree of balance in the future, Zhang Shusheng specially instructed local governments to do a good job in education. Good scientific research and production, and pay attention to the development of regional economy, so as to continue to strengthen its leading edge.
There are many key universities including Southwest University. Zhang Shusheng is assured of education in the Southwest. As long as the local government does not go the wrong way, it will develop education, transportation, science and technology, and economy step by step. It can also embark on a rapid development path.
"This ghost weather is really sad."
The dormitory building No. 5 in the third dormitory area of ​​Huaxia Military Academy, where the 30th new trainees of Huaxia Military Academy live. A student wearing a military uniform and a student badge is standing in front of the window, looking at the pouring rain outside. I used to reach out to my jacket and smoke, but I remembered that this was a military academy, not the former army, and smoking was not allowed.
This student is already in his thirties, but he is still at the Huaxia Military Academy.
"I said, Comrade Chen Cheng, you are really in a good mood." The man standing in front of the window shouted to an equally young college sitting next to the bed reading a book, some jokes in the words, actually used The title of comrade.
Chen Cheng, by the way, the person sitting in front of the bed reading a book and taking notes was not the former KMT Lieutenant General Chen Cheng who was on the battlefield in Tianjin.
"Ember, the contents of this book are a hundred times stronger than those in our school before. You might as well take a look at it." Chen Cheng didn't care about the word comrade in Tang Enbo's mouth, but thought that the new government shouted The law is correct. Comrades, what comrades are, have common aspirations, and realize the common great aspirations of the Chinese Revival. He hoped that others would call him this way. This is not the time of the party-state, and his thinking is as difficult as that of Tang Enber.
Carefully flipping through the pages of the book, it says "On the trenches defense and breakthrough."
"What's so beautiful, there are a lot in the library, it's not rare." Tang Enbo had something in mind and waved his hand. "Resign, don't you worry that they will make excuses so that we can't pass the exam? Look at the training these days. It's not a human experience. The military training for new trainees is like this. How will we live in the future."
The thought of spending a year in the ghost place of Huaxia Military Academy, Tang Enbo was uncomfortable. He is not a recruit, nor is he a new candidate who has not even been on the battlefield. He is a former party-state lieutenant, and Zhang Shusheng dare to treat him like this is really outrageous.
"It is precisely because such military textbooks abound in the library that it proves that the people ’s army created by the new government has far exceeded the theoretical knowledge of the former party-state. We lost at this step of the military academy. After that. "Chen Cheng shook his head." You, don't let your lieutenant generals calm down. After passing the test, the new government has some arrangements for us veterans of the Kuomintang. "
What Chen Cheng didn't tell Tang Enbo was that someone had talked to him before. For the former Kuomintang generals that the People ’s Army paid close attention to, the new government treats them differently. Basically, they can be appointed to new military posts after passing a year of study. Anti-Japanese celebrities such as him and party-state lieutenants will naturally be comforted. As for Tang Enbo, the treatment will naturally be different.
"Hmm, there are hundreds of people in our party state, and depending on how Zhang Shusheng dares, we dare to dare us to go home and hold our children."
"Yi Chen is back." No matter what Tang Enbo was, Chen Cheng saw Zhang Zizhong pushing in the door and holding three pots of boiling water in his hand. The former head of a division is now also doing it himself, like other 30th Huaxia military academy students.
"Lao Chen, I also borrowed a book. On infiltration operations behind enemy lines." Zhang Zizhong raised his hand, but took out a thin booklet from his student bag.
"Oh? This seems to be a textbook of guerrilla warfare. Why is your teacher also interested in guerrilla warfare?" Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh, I heard that Qu Zhongyi, a guerrilla commander, came from the Northeast. It was very good. It was piecemeal and killed thousands of devils in more than a year." Zhang Zizhong is different from Chen Cheng and Tang Enbo. Things are more accumulated in the army, and theoretical knowledge is lacking. After living in a dormitory, he fought fiercely with Chen Cheng. Both of them loved to drill into the huge library of Huaxia Military Academy in addition to military training for new students. The former Kuomintang generals who like them likewise are not in the minority, of course, scornful like Tang Enbo, unwilling to learn, and occasionally complaining about the new government.
Therefore, the destiny of man and man is determined in the usual details and attitudes towards things.
"Very boring." Tang Enbo glanced back, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zizhong actually researched the enemy infiltration battle. They couldn't help sniffing and turned to look at the rain outside the window.
"Hmm ..."
From time to time, a knock sounded.
"Sir"
Zhang Zizhong got up to open the door, but saw a military academy guard and his instructor standing at the door, and now they were all in awe, saluting a new army ’s Qimei military salute. The former flat chest military salute when he was in the Kuomintang changed. When Chen Cheng and Tang Enbo heard the words and stood up, they stood up and saluted. This is a military school rule.
Both the instructor and the guard saluted, and then the instructor said to the guard, "This is the 30th trainee, Comrade Zhang Zizhong."
"Comrade Zhang Zizhong, please come with me to the principal's office."
"Yes."
As soon as the three men left, Tang Enbo became suspicious. "Resign, you said that this self-loyalty will not be carried away by the shit? The principal's office? Isn't it Zhang Shusheng's office in the military academy? Did Zhang Shusheng come to the military academy?"
"I don't know." Chen Cheng shook his head, but reminded, "Embo, you better respect President Zhang. Although he may not care about it, it is now the new government. Be careful of being accused. Against you. "
If it wasn't for the sake of being a peer, Chen Cheng would not remind him.
"Whoever likes to sue, I'll see what he can do to me." Tang Enbo said so, but he looked carefully outside the door, then closed the door incidentally.
Chen Cheng shook his head and didn't say much, but his heart was secret. Many people like Tang Enbo also claimed that they had been party generals, but they didn't know that changing the dynasty now is not the time when they could travel all over the world. For example, the Huaxia Military Academy recruits students once every six months. The number of students is not large, and the two major links of admission and graduation are strictly controlled. As a result, some students cannot graduate every year, so they can only leave sadly and return to the original army. Or enlist as an unranked non-commissioned officer.
The king defeated the thief. He said it was good. These people were ‘incorporated’ by the new government. The ugly thing was surrender. He did not think that the new government was biased in the arrangement of the generals of the national army. From the contacts with many senior generals in the southwest, he found that the military qualities of the two armies did indeed differ greatly. The experience accumulated in pure military careers was no longer sufficient. Ready for future wars.
He is not a pedantic and noble man. It is best to be a division commander, and it is not a big deal. He does it with a patriotic heart. Even if he is only a company commander, he does not believe that the new government will block it. The road to the promotion of these people who really want to serve the country.
However, he seems to have foreseen that many former Kuomintang generals can only say that they left in the end, because at that time, it was not the new government that broke their promises but they themselves were unqualified.
"report."
"Come in."
After Zhang Zizhong walked to the entrance of the principal's office and was checked by the guards, he adjusted his uniform and knocked on the door.
This is Zhang Shusheng's principal's office at Huaxia Military Academy. Since the establishment of the Southwest Academy, the president of the military academy has only one person from beginning to end. That is Zhang Shusheng. Whether he is a toddler in the southwest or the establishment of a new China, he never thought of giving up this position. There are some things that you cannot let go of yourself, this is the principle.
Although he is not often, everyone knows that this small building is the principal's office. According to many people, Chairman Zhang can always see the Yangtze River water on the balcony from a balcony. It can also be heard that a certain outstanding student was called by the principal himself.
Zhang Zizhong, who had never felt nervous before the Japanese devils, suddenly knocked on the door, and the moment the response came across him, he couldn't help but his body was full of blood. It was a strange feeling. I had never seen a KMT senior official before. This feeling.
Pushing in the door, a simple office, on the left is a huge globe with a diameter of more than one meter, and a complete world map on it. On the right is a large bookshelf on which many military textbooks are placed, and works on land, sea, and air are available. In addition, there is a desk in the middle against the wall. The national flag and the military flag are intertwined on the wall behind the seat. On both sides is a pair of words "Iron Blood Danxin, loyalty and loyalty."
Zhang Shusheng was sitting behind the desk. Every month, he would spare a day to visit the military academy and see the students. As the supreme leader of the People's Democratic Republic of China, he is dressed smartly and looks fiercely capable in his thirties. He is dressed in a black 'Southwestern suit', similar to the previous Zhongshan suit. Different, simpler but more solemn.
"Chairman Zhang Zizhong of the 30th Infantry Command Scientific Report to you."
"He Chen is here, yes, yes."
Zhang Shusheng closed the document he was looking at and signaled Zhang Zizhong to sit down, but the latter stepped back and didn't sit.
"I've been to Linqing, Shandong's hometown, but I've been there. The name of Little Tianjin is well-deserved."
"The principal has passed the prize, and the small place can't get on the table." Zhang Zizhong smiled.
When Zhang Shusheng saw that he was still a bit reluctant, he laughed: "Hey, don't be nervous, here, I am not the chairman, and you are not the general in the past. You are a student, I am the principal, and the relationship is so simple."
"Yes, the principal." Zhang Zizhong stood upright with his legs, and finally let go. He was originally a tough guy with strong bones. He was a little nervous but respected Zhang Shusheng. Now he is regarded as the principal, but he has less scruples.
"Still used to school arrangements?"
"Reporting to the principal, Zizhong is very accustomed. Although he has not officially started the class, he feels that he has learned a lot." Zhang Zizhong said truthfully, which is also what he said.
"You are also a veteran of the Northwest Army. I can trust your commanding ability and military style. As for the unified arrangement of the new government, it is also for the sake of overall consideration. You should not have any burden." Zhang Shusheng said.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The two chatted again, about five minutes before and after Zhang Zizhong entered the door. This was not a short time for both of them. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Shusheng picked up the papers on the table and handed them to him, "Come, here's a file, look at it."
"Yes. Principal."
Zhang Zizhong stepped forward to take the document, opened it, and found out that it was actually a combat plan prepared by the Army Staff. "Principal, students are not currently in the military, this ..."
Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and motioned him to look, and then Zhang Zizhong opened his look.
This battle plan is only a draft, and it is not long, but Zhang Zizhong, who reads it, is puzzled.
This is a plan for the 'Population of the People's Army in the Northwest.'
Just three days ago, the remaining two Ma's in the northwest formally reached a peace agreement with the new government, willing to lay down their arms unconditionally and accept the new government's adaptation. Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai officially announced their return to the embrace of the new government. However, Ma Bufang, who was the worst in the end, was not good because of being captured by Yang Hucheng in the liberation war.
After the unconditional surrender of the three northwestern provinces, the country's attention has been focused on the last two places, Tibet and Xinjiang.
In Xinjiang, although Sheng Shicai was far away from the emperor, from the beginning of the liberation war to the founding of the People's Republic of China, he made a series of requests to the KMT Central Committee and the new government, as the new government became more powerful After the elite troops began to gather in Shaanxi, and then the three northwestern provinces announced peaceful liberation, Sheng Shicai expressed his willingness to join the new government unconditionally. I even wanted to 'self-liberate in the military.'
The problem in Xinjiang is temporarily resolved, and the problem in Tibet is a lot of trouble. The Ninth Panchen Lama is still living in Yushu, Qinghai. The issue of returning to Tibet has been delayed by the Kuomintang since its inception, and it has been delayed for almost two years. It is because there is a Dalai Lama in Tibet, and there is an English cow with hands behind him over the Himalayas.
The new government has just been established, but its eyes have already been set on Tibet and the Himalayas. The issue of sovereignty should not be tolerated by any outsider. Neither the upcoming Baath Party nor the central government today will allow Tibet to continue to leave the country. Intergovernmental swings.
The Dalai Lama does have a set. Although the whole is not bad, as a religious leader, he plays a political role. From time to time, he swayes from side to side under the banner of ‘striving for Tibet and considering Tibet’. When the new government was set up, he also specially sent messengers to Hanjing to present a set of town teaching Buddhist instruments that have been illuminated by the living Buddhas of previous generations, in order to bless the new government from heaven.
He also said that Tibet is a part of China and will never do anything rebellious.
However, Zhang Shusheng later knew it, let alone the weakness of the Kuomintang before, and the new government was just established, and it was easy to be opportunistic. Let ’s talk about the future generations, such as Buddha and Buddha, doing something under the banner of religion. The mess is not uncommon.
Dissonant things are better than later generations in China, let alone now.
Therefore, from the beginning, he made up his mind to be armed in Tibet. There is no place for maneuver. He would rather be hurt for a while, and it would never be a disaster for hundreds of years.
"The Ministry of Military Affairs means sending several generals with outstanding military talents to the northwest provinces, especially Tibet and Xinjiang. It also needs people who can support the country." Zhang Shusheng said succinctly, selecting people to enter Xinjiang and selecting people. Entering Tibet is the main purpose of his visit to the military academy.
"Zizhong is dumb, I don't know what the Central and Military Departments have arranged. Although Zizhong doesn't have the talent for self-recommendation, he has the will to serve the country, but he is willing to do so at any time." Zhang Zizhong salutes.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, yes, Zhang Zizhong was indeed stronger than a considerable number of Kuomintang generals. He was not inferior and inferior. This is not something that ordinary people can do, and this person really cares about the country and the nation. After many inspections, his identification with the new government is regarded as One of the highest among the KMT generals.
"Oh, you dare to invite a fight is Zhang Zhechen's true nature. Very good, I read you right." Zhang Shusheng opened the drawer, took out an appointment letter, and put it on the table. "The military department reported to me and said I want a highly respected general with excellent military qualities to go to Xinjiang. I recommend you to them. After several assessments, you are formally ordered to be the Xinjiang Security Commander and Colonel Wang Zheng as the Political Commissar. "
"This ... Principal, is this appropriate?" Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but think of other Kuomintang generals who led the army themselves. Others were afraid that they had opinions. Moreover, the new government unified the Kuomintang generals to show fairness. Break the rules.
"Hey, you think more about your errand. Others can't escape if they're fleeing. Someone will be gloating."
Zhang Shusheng shook his head and led the army into Xinjiang. It is located in the northwestern part of the country. He has a long way to go and suffers a lot. Dihua still had a prosperous life and had his own soldiers. He said that it was the People ’s Army entering Xinjiang that it was better to disarm.
As for the later arrangements, those Kuomintang generals are naturally invisible. Zhang Shusheng wants a general who dares to act but does not lack intelligence. In this regard, the general Wang in the past has done a good job. Just judging by his qualifications, it is not enough to bear the heavy responsibility.
Of course, the most critical reason is that this batch of troops entering Xinjiang was composed of the original National Army troops. If others were to serve as the head coach, it might cause a problem of poor command.
The elite troops of the new government were not too many at first. The KMT forces collected from them should be used naturally. It is the best choice to select officers and men who have a more tenacious style and have patriotic enthusiasm.
As a force of the previous regime, complete dissolution is a waste, and suppression is not what Zhang Shusheng is willing to do. In a basic voluntary situation, they were incorporated into the Xinjiang army. After completing the disarming of Sheng Shicai, they were stationed in Xinjiang. Suppressing the heavy northwestern land of Shenzhou will bring about immortality.
So, don't look at Zhang Zizhong who was just a division commander before, but this time he will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general in advance, leading a 120,000 group army into Xinjiang. This Xinjiang Corps is mainly composed of the former KMT army and a small number of the former Southwest Army. While consolidating Xinjiang, it is also responsible for ensuring the implementation of this policy of immigration to Xinjiang. After the consolidation of Xinjiang and the immigration is basically completed, a small part of the Corps will be converted into a garrison unit, while carrying out agricultural reclamation production, while taking root as a special military force in Xinjiang.
"Sincerely, the Xinjiang issue is far from as simple as you think. Colonel Wang will assist you. As for military studies, you can bring a few boxes of teaching materials into Xinjiang. Colonel Wang is also an outstanding graduate of the Huaxia Military Academy. If you don't understand, you can ask him. "
Colonel Wang Zheng will be urgently granted the rank of Major General after he has officially taken over as the political commissar of the Corps. This is a special promotion.
Zhang Shusheng looked at Zhang Zizhong and saw that he only thought about it for a moment, and then he roughly wanted to understand the problem in the middle. After all, the combat plan simply mentioned a few things, including the main composition of the troops entering Xinjiang.
"Reporting to the principal, Zhang Zizhong was ordered to follow the example of Mr. Zuo Zongtang and carry the coffin to Xinjiang ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The unjust Xinjiang will not stop."
Zhang Zizhong was saluting and answered loudly.
"Okay, you don't have to carry the coffin into Xinjiang. I believe in your ability. Xinjiang Dading, I will go and see you and those 100,000 soldiers in person."
Zhang Shusheng also said extraordinaryly.
"It's the chairman."
In this regard, the matter of entering Xinjiang has been settled. Zhang Zizhong is the commander of the Corps and Wang Zheng is the political commissar. The two will lead the former Kuomintang army serving the country with 120,000 Tiezhi to enter Xinjiang.
After Zhang Zizhong left, Zhang Shusheng came to the window and looked out at the Yangtze River in the distance. I couldn't help thinking about it. Many of the Kuomintang troops were still fighting, and there were many officers and men who dared to sacrifice for the country and dedicate to the nation. The problems of Xinjiang may have been a loss to them, but for the entire nation, they will use their own sweat and sweat to lay down the entire Saibei mountain.
