Chapter 10: Drunken Whispers Stir Up a Storm

Jin Shuren did not agree to Zheng Runcheng's request to enter the Anti-Japanese War on the spot, and put the matter on hold on the grounds that he wanted to ask the central government.

Zheng Runcheng was anxious, and the generals of the Volunteer Army were also anxious. Some people are anxious to enter the customs to resist the war, and some people want to stay here and not enter the customs. A group of generals from the green forest led by Liu Kuaijiao did not want to enter the customs.

These people came from a reckless background, and when they were in the Northeast, they were on their doorstep. The devil is coming, that is, the robber has entered the house, of course he has to fight! In the future, if they enter the customs and go to the mainland, who knows what the central government will think of people from people like them?

Is it to give them military uniforms, pay them, and recognize their status as soldiers of their country? Or are you just arrested and locked up in prison as a bandit and robber? No one can say for sure!

Therefore, these people deliberately stayed in Xinjiang and did not want to go to the mainland. Hu Fei was also born in the green forest, and Liu Kuaijiao and others counted him as one of them when they discussed the way out in the future. Hu Fei has his own thoughts in his heart, but now he has not yet decided, so he and Liu Kuaijiao are dealing with each other.

Zheng Runcheng went to the provincial government several times a day, and while discussing with Jin Shuren about sending troops, he also had frequent contact with those high-ranking officials in the provincial government. In contact with the provincial bureaucrats, Zheng Runcheng found that a considerable number of them were at odds with Jin Shuren, the provincial chairman! These people have a lot of opinions about Jin Shuren!

Jin Shuren did not allow the volunteers to enter the customs for a day, and Zheng Runcheng had an opinion on Jin Shuren for a day. In fact, Chairman Jin meant to take these brave and warlike volunteers for his own use, so that they could stay in Xinjiang and become the main force defending the frontier. However, he could not come up with any practical way to appease the volunteers, so he had to delay time without the orders of the central government.

The volunteers entered the customs to resist the war, but Jin Shuren was indecisive for a long time. As the leader of the Volunteer Army, Zheng Runcheng repeatedly asked for his life without success, and his opinion on Jin Shuren naturally became bigger and bigger.

He and the group of officials in the provincial government who were dissatisfied with Jin Shuren gradually got closer and closer, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Among them are Chen Zhong, chief of staff of the provincial government, Tao Mingyue, magistrate of Dihua County, Li Xiaotian, principal of the aviation school, and Liu Wenlong, director of the Department of Education.

General Zheng Runcheng graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, was born in a professional class, and was knowledgeable and educated. In addition, he has a lot of combat experience as a volunteer general, and the bureaucrats of the provincial government are willing to make friends with him.

A group of people chat, drink, play cards, hold all kinds of dances, and parties when they have nothing to do. With the glittering title of commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, Zheng Runcheng soon became a political star among the magnates of Dihua City, a dazzling upstart.

On this day, Zheng Runcheng was invited to a private party, which was attended by top elites from all walks of life in the party, government and military in Xinjiang Province.

Halfway through the banquet, someone led the topic to Jin Shuren, chairman of the Xinjiang provincial government and commander-in-chief of security. With the strength of the wine, everyone complained about Chairman Kim's mistakes in government affairs and military affairs.

Chen Zhong, chief of staff of the Security Command, drank too much and leaned on the back of his chair to take a nap, and then suddenly opened his eyes and said that Jin Shuren was not worthy of being the chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Government at all! The provincial chairman, who occupies an empty throne but does not bring benefits to the people of Xinjiang, should be overthrown, and a capable person should be elected to the provincial chairmanship.

Originally, Zheng Runcheng was still listening here with a smile, and he also interjected from time to time. Isn't it normal for a bunch of drunk people to whiner and talk nonsense! How do you know that while talking, Chen Zhong actually came to such a paragraph, and the room full of officials and dignitaries who were still talking about it just now were suddenly stunned and silent!

Can this also be said? This is a rebellion, a prelude to a coup d'état! A few timid people hurriedly said that they were unwell and wanted to leave the table early. Zheng Runcheng stood up!

"Everyone, please wait!" Zheng Runcheng waved his hand, and the guards who came with him immediately blocked the gate! The box gun was wide open, and the black muzzle swept back and forth through the crowd in the banquet hall. Those who stood up and wanted to leave were so frightened that they quickly sat back down!

Zheng Runcheng's eyes rolled and looked directly at Chief of Staff Chen Zhong!

"Director Chen, what you said just now was unintentional or intentional? If you are drunk and unintentional, as long as you swear a poisonous oath in front of the people present now, you will say that you are drunk and do not choose what you say, and you are not responsible for what you have said. Then I guarantee that everyone here today will forget what you just said! ”

"If you mean to say that, I'm sorry, someone Zheng is going to arrest you now! Escort to the General Security Headquarters and hand it over to Commander-in-Chief Kim for disposal according to law! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Runcheng had already pulled out the pistol in his waist for self-defense, and the bullet was loaded with a click! Although the muzzle of the gun was not aimed at anyone, his meaning was already self-evident, who dared not listen to the greeting and messed around, Hugh blamed him for the ruthlessness of the gun under the command of President Zheng!

"General Zheng, slow down!" A jerky and strange voice came from the wine table next door, Zheng Runcheng flashed his eyes, and knew that it was Ba Pingut, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Naturalized Army. Another bearded man sitting next to him was Antonov, the head of the 1st Regiment of the Naturalized Army.

Xinjiang Provincial Chairman Jin Shuren has a foreign armed force that is very capable of fighting, the Naturalized Army. The officers and soldiers of the Naturalized Army were basically soldiers and civilians who fled to Xinjiang, China during the war in the Soviet Union. In order to appease these White Russians, Jin Shuren organized them into a separate army and paid them enough to support their families.

Xinjiang is a vast region with vast borders, and there are often rebellions or invasions by foreign forces. The naturalized army fought in the south and the north, and made great contributions to the stability of Xinjiang, and Antonov and Bapingut should be regarded as Jin Shuren's descendants. What does this guy mean when he speaks now? Could it be that he wants to go out for Jin Shuren to catch dangerous elements who are not inferior?

Zheng Runcheng was a little vigilant in his heart, but the muzzle of the gun was facing the ground, "It turned out to be the head of Ba." How? Does Captain Ba also have something to say? ”

"General Zheng, I, Bapingut, am the head of the Naturalized Army. I don't care which of you comes to power and who comes down, what coup d'état or not, has nothing to do with me at all! As long as the officers and soldiers of the naturalized army can have a stable income and generous welfare benefits, the rest has nothing to do with me! ”

Nothing to do with you? It doesn't matter why you're standing up? Do you want to digest food standing when you're full? Of course, Zheng Runcheng didn't believe what the naturalized corps commander said, and he didn't expect that this big-nosed White Russian would turn around when he spoke! Zheng Runcheng quietly looked at Bapingut to see what flowers this white Russian could say.

"We, the Naturalized Army, are very satisfied with the current situation, and we don't want anything to happen to the Xinjiang government. General Zheng, Director Chen, ladies and gentlemen. Please go back and continue to eat and drink, just now everyone just drank too much and joked casually, and what you said after drinking should not be taken seriously. General Zheng, you may be seated. Director Chen, please keep drinking. ”

In vain, this Bapingut is tall and strong, and he looks very strong and bluffing, it turns out that this guy is a soft egg!
