Song Zheyuan didn't know either. Liu Lang looked at his leaving back and thought for a long time.
Liu Lang did not have a detailed discussion with the future top military commander in North China as he had imagined, because he knew it was unnecessary.
Song Zheyuan was actually a very complicated character.
This is also one of the conclusions of the future Republic about him.
In his time and space, his inner patriotism and warlord consciousness were equally strong, which often caused him to fall into fierce ideological struggles. Song Zheyuan had deep-rooted warlord separatist ideas, and what he did in Pingjin was partly forced by the Japanese and partly still.
It is hoped to establish an independent kingdom and establish military separatism.
The bald man made great efforts to win over him, but Song Zheyuan finally refused to throw himself into his arms. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Song Zheyuan kept saying that he wanted to leave some ground for Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, which reflected that deep down in his heart, Feng Yuxiang was always superior to Chiang Kai-shek.
The situation at that time was that the bald bosses had achieved unity. Those who followed me prospered, and those who went against me perished. Many generals of the Northwest Army kept pace with the times and took refuge with the bald bosses, but Song Zheyuan remained loyal to Feng Yuxiang.
The deep-rooted warlordism in his mind eventually ruined his military career. The bald man was able to reuse Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian, Liu Ruming and others, as well as other northwest army generals such as Sun Lianzhong, but he refused to use Song Zheyuan because he had seen through his selfish thoughts.
.
Zhang Zizhong fought hard with the 59th Army and the Banyuan Division he had trained by himself in Southern Shandong, completely ignoring the casualties, and achieved the great victory of Linyi; Sun Lianzhong defended Taierzhuang, and it was also with the determination to destroy all the troops that he achieved the great victory of Taierzhuang. True.
It was this spirit of sacrificing the individual and fulfilling the greater self that finally won China the victory in the War of Resistance.
In the final analysis, Song Zheyuan was a figure created during China's decades of warlord war. Although he had unyielding national integrity, due to fatal ideological flaws, he was unable to become a mainstay in resisting Japan and saving the country.
Song Zheyuan failed to die on the battlefield in the end and got the most ideal destination for a soldier. It is indeed regrettable, but it is also reasonable.
However, these are only the judgments of later generations about Song Zheyuan.
But in Liu Lang's view after fighting side by side with the 29th Army, this general with serious old warlord ideas was after all a soldier, a real Chinese soldier. As long as his belief that the Japanese army was defeated in 1937 was shattered,
If it was a fluke to invade North China, he and his 29th Army would not have withdrawn from Hebei with a loss of troops and generals. The equipment has been greatly improved, and the 29th Army with many outstanding patriotic generals may still not be prepared to wait for several years.
The Japanese rivals, but they can buy a little more time for China.
For China in this period, every time it wins, it will be more prepared, and every more preparedness means that more invaders will die on this vast land.
In fact, the bloody Chinese battlefield is not only a meat grinder for the Chinese, but also for the Japanese.
What the world has seen are the exaggerated figures of more than two million Chinese soldiers killed in battle. Little did they know that according to the Japanese's own statistics, the number of their killed in the Chinese battlefield was as high as more than 455,000.
At first glance, the difference in the number of war dead between the two countries is huge. However, the difference in population base between the two countries is even greater. If the American cowboys had not dropped those two fat bombs, the Japanese, who had become increasingly weak in the later period, would have had to pay even more.
Exaggerated death figures.
The Chinese, who have been forced into a corner and are forced to let out their final roar, will use their vast territory and huge population to turn the millions of Japanese troops dragged in China into beasts trapped in the swamp. The only thing waiting for them is
Have been swallowed by darkness.
If you were to use one word to express your feelings about the Sino-Japanese battlefield to Japanese senior officials who overestimate themselves, the only answer would be, "wipe."
Similarly, the only word to express it in one word for the top Chinese officials who underestimated that they were forced to go to full-scale war is, "Japan".
Yes, no one at the top level of the two countries expected that the fight would end like this.
Of course, Liu Lang was unable to change the direction of the stubborn historical rut, but he could use more Japanese blood to tell the Japanese high-level leaders who launched the war of aggression: I am here to fuck you.
With a letter of favor, Liu Lang secured Song Zheyuan.
Next, he and the Independent Regiment finally received a military order from the Ministry of Military Affairs for the Independent Regiment to withdraw from the northern theater and return to its garrison in Guangyuan, Sichuan.
That's right, after driving other armies out of the Pingjin area one by one, Liu Lang and his independent regiment no longer needed to stay in Beiping City, which is now the defense area of the Central Army.
Huang Jie and his second division have taken over the defense of Beiping City. Although they have only stayed here for more than a year, it is their territory now. Liu Lang and his independent regiment are no longer considered part of the Central Army.
, starting from this month, all their military expenses have been returned to Liu Xiang in Sichuan Province to pay.
Now that people are leaving, Liu Lang, who received the military order that he must leave within three days, certainly has nothing to miss.
The bald man who thought he had complete control over Pingjin had no idea that at least one-third of the city's cash, as much as three million in cash and three million in bank drafts, had been quietly gathered in the Liu Lang Independent Group.
The station will be transported back to the southwest by Liu Lang.
In the next three years, more than a dozen factories in Peiping will gradually be shut down, and equipment, materials, and even personnel will gradually move to the southwest.
Those shops that have been converted into shares will be gradually sold off in the next few years, replaced with cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, or cash and shipped back to the southwest.
Although Liu Lang's shareholders don't know why Liu Lang is so interested in those antiques that cannot be eaten but can only be looked at, they must know that "antiquities from the golden age of troubled times", in such troubled times, let alone gold, is food, and
Much more useful than those gadgets.
However, Boss Liu made it very clear when he held a meeting with them that he would repurchase the antiques in exchange for personal cash at market prices, and would not let the company be taken advantage of. In this case, shareholders naturally did not
Objection, Boss Liu is rich and wants to do some hard work, so let him do the hard work.
The Peking City Government and the Military Commission did not know that funds were quietly flowing out. They only knew that a new company formed by a group of Peiping businessmen needed a large number of workers, and that the large group of northern refugees who had already made them miserable were their recruitment targets.
After nearly a week of extensive publicity and relatively good salary packages, more than 70,000 people chose to go south to work in Huashang Company. Of course, only 20,000 of them can actually work, and the rest are women, children and young children who can travel thousands of miles.
The old and frail old people who fled all the way here have basically been eliminated, except for the people in Chengde who followed the retreat of the independent regiment.
Although I am a little dissatisfied with the fact that this company chose to locate its factory in the south and lost a lot of tax revenue, this is nothing compared to the fact that they can absorb all the refugees and pay travel expenses to move them to the south.
You know, just setting up porridge shacks for these refugees who have no food source costs thousands of dollars every day. This does not include the salaries and expenses of personnel such as health and epidemic prevention and security to prevent them from causing trouble.
It can be said that these 100,000 refugees are just a burden. They cannot produce any benefits and are instead wasted money. It would be great to just pack them up and send them away.
Since Sichuan wants to take charge, let them take charge.
As a result, the Peking City Government not only gave the green light and issued a certificate to this newly established "charity" Chinese business company, but even organized twenty special trains to transport the refugees. Of course, the cost was paid by the Chinese business company.
Depart from Peiping to Yichang, Hubei Province, then board a boat to the mountain city, and then use a carriage or walk to the factory areas designated by Huashang Company.
This era is not like a few decades later, when one train will reach the destination. But if there were not these twenty slow and black smoke-emitting special trains, those 70,000 people who wanted to migrate 2,000 kilometers on foot would not know when they arrived in Sichuan.
, how many people will die of illness on the road.
For these 20 special trains, Huashang Company did not know how much effort it made, and how many people accepted the cash in vain. Dayang laughed in his heart and scolded Huashang Company for taking advantage of them.
Maybe Liu Lang is the only one who thinks this money is well spent.
In the future, these refugees will use their own efforts to prove that they are indeed worth it.
The Chinese nation has always been a nation that knows how to be grateful.
