Chapter 208, the grass that falls with the wind

"Two."

"Big you."

"Look at three of my photos."

"Press it up, three more, it's gone."

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, after the war, when there was some free time, Commander Liu of the th Division played cards for entertainment with the deputy commander.

Mr. Liu was superior in skill, and he still won this hand.

The deputy commander handed a copper pocket watch to Master Liu, and pinned the other pen to his chest pocket: "The pocket watch is yours, this pen is no good, it was given to me by the leader that year."

Master Liu pondered the smooth case of the pocket watch, smiled and said nothing, playing cards is for relaxation and entertainment.

If you are entangled in what the bet is, you will fall to the bottom.

"report!"

A soldier brought the latest telegram.

The deputy commander took the telegram, glanced at it and handed it to Commander Liu: "Here, your division can arrange it.

Yan Laoxi sent a high-level army group from his second theater, the Jinsui Army, to observe the tactics and learn from them.

Your brother is good at playing cards, and this lecturer can't be wrong. "

Master Liu was quite unimpressed with the officer observation group sent by Yan Laoxi, and even suspected the old fool, what purpose did he have?
Yan Laoxi was a well-known scumbag in the Republic of China. From , the year of to the present, he has been able to be the local emperor of Shanxi all the time, which is inseparable from his scumbag style.

On January 1912, 1, the Republic of China government was established, and Sun Dapao took office as the president.

Yuan Xiangcheng, who held the real power of the Qing court, saw that the building was about to collapse, and began to plan for himself.

The emperor's resignation was a foregone conclusion, and what the revolutionary party and Yuan Xiangcheng were fighting for was only the status and interests in the new regime.

In this process, Yan Laoxi's long-sleeved and good dancing skills are of great use.

Yan Laoxi had already sent his main counselor, Nan Guixin, to ask for help in Shanxi, and met with Sun Dapao, and Sun Dapao meant that he was also the governor of the province of the revolutionary uprising, and he was still held by the original revolutionary party member of the uprising.

But of course Yuan Xiangcheng didn't want to hand over Shanxi, which was in the throat, to the Revolutionary Party. He used the turmoil in Shanxi after the uprising as an excuse, falsely accused Shanxi of being a bandit and rebelled, and refused to recognize Shanxi as an uprising province.

Sun Dapao was forced to say harsh words: "It is better to break the peace agreement than to recognize the revolutionary comrades in Shanxi and Shaanxi."

It's just that Sun Dapao's power is not as powerful as Yuan Xiangcheng's. Whether Yan Laoxi can return to Jin smoothly to succeed depends on Yuan Xiangcheng's attitude.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi found Dong Chongren, a Taoist priest living in Dingxiang, who was a disciple of Yuan Xiangcheng, and went to talk to Yuan Xiangcheng to express his submission.

Empty talk is of course not enough, Yan Laoxi's vote is to support the government of the Republic of China to establish the capital of BJ.

This is openly contradicting Sun Dapao—in order to restrain Yuan Xiangcheng, Sun Dapao asked Yuan to go to Nanjing, which is controlled by the revolutionary party, to succeed him as president.

The two sides were arguing over this, but Yan Laoxi, who was a revolutionary party, gave Yuan Xiangcheng a generous gift.

Not only that, it is said that Yan Laoxi also sent his father to BJ under the name of opening his eyes. In fact, he sent a hostage to Yuan Xiangcheng in order to get Yuan's peace of mind.

Yuan Xiangcheng saw that Yan Laoxi was so docile, and the stand of the revolutionary party was also very firm, so he simply sold a favor to Yan Laoxi and agreed to Yan Laoxi's return to Jin Dynasty.

In April 1912, Yan Laoxi returned to Taiyuan, served as the governor, and gradually took control of the military and political power in Shanxi, which lasted for 4 years.

Another classic is that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Laoxi used "dancing on three eggs" to describe the relationship between the Shanxi Jinsui Army and a certain chairman, the Rabbit Party and the Japanese
We must respect a certain committee chairman and use his strength, but we cannot allow his influence to enter Shanxi;
Be wary of the Rabbit Party, but you can use the Rabbit Party to mobilize the masses of Shanxi to fight against Japan and protect his interests;
The invasion of the Japanese needs to be fought back, but the face cannot be completely torn apart...

In the words of Yan Laoxi, "Dancing on three eggs, none of them can be broken."

He racked his brains and painstakingly:
It is necessary to unite with the Communist Party, but also to prevent and oppose the Communist Party in secret;
It is necessary to resist Japan, but also to make peace with and pro-Japan in secret;
He was afraid of Chiang, rejected Chiang, and relied on Chiang.

This set really worked: a chairman of the committee was afraid of Yan Laoxi's surrender, so he increased his support;
In order to keep Yan Laoxi in the anti-Japanese camp, the Rabbit Party reduced the pressure on him;
In order to lure Yan Laoxi into submission, the Japanese army stopped the attack on Yan Laoxi and further colluded.

Although the Eighth Route Army is currently maintaining a relative peace with Yan Laoxi, the Eighth Route Army will never forget that in November , Yan Laoxi cooperated with the Japanese to fight against the Communist Party.

Created the December Incident.

Yan Laoxi fought against the Second Column, the anti-Japanese government, the cadres of the Sacrifice League, and the rear staff of the Eighth Route Army.

That anti-communist climax was when the th Division led by Master Liu severely dealt with the minions sent by a certain chairman and Yan Laoxi, and extinguished their arrogance.

Only in exchange for a period of relative peace.

"When did Yan Laoxi become humble?" Master Liu asked.

The deputy commander gave him a look.

We all know that Yan Laoxi is an idiot, and the Hundred Regiments War has such a big momentum, it must have frightened others.

Seeing the strength of the Eighth Route Army, he decided to send an officer exchange group to ease the conflict between the two sides, which was in line with Yan Laoxi's style.

"Hey, this cat teaches the tiger a lesson, and the ability to climb trees can't be easily leaked to me!" the deputy commander warned.

Master Liu laughed and said, "Even if I leave it to him, he won't be able to learn it."

He slipped back the pocket watch he had won, pulled up his sleeves, and flicked the brown belt watch on his wrist, "I have one, this one is for you."

"It's hidden deep enough." The deputy commander didn't push back any further, and he only had one pocket watch.

Mr. Liu's betting on the pocket watch just now was purely foreshadowing.Want to show off this watch.

He untied the watch and handed it to the deputy commander-in-chief: "Look, the American A-11 military watch, Bulova brand. It is dustproof, waterproof, temperature-resistant, and highly accurate."

The deputy commander took the watch and looked at it carefully, "This watch is not cheap!"

Everyone in the Eighth Route Army lived in poverty. Even at the level of Commander Liu, they only had five yuan a month in pocket money.

Besides, American military watches are hard to find in Shanxi!
Mr. Liu said with a smile, "I can't afford it. That guy Yuan Lang gave it to him. He donated 20 radio stations a few days ago and brought a yuan watch. Ask me to give you one. A watch is more convenient than a pocket watch."

"This kid... then I'll accept it, and thank him for me."

If it is given by ordinary people, the deputy commander really doesn't need it.

If Yuan Lang sent it, then there is no problem.This little cunning guy lived in the headquarters for a while, and he liked him very much.

The deputy commander-in-chief treats him like a nephew.

"Choose one of these pieces."

Mr. Liu took out several brand-new watches from his pocket. The straps were brown and green, with slight differences in appearance.

The deputy commander-in-chief said with emotion: "Well, I really didn't take less."
