Chapter 89: First courtesy, then force
Since Zhou Xiaoshan arrived in Peking.
When he met up with Luo Liang and a few others who were wearing the spy clothes stripped from the spies from Hongyun Temple, his face turned gloomy.
Damn, Wang Kemin is in Shanghai and Wang Yitang is in the Northeast.
Yin Rugeng is said to have gone to Tangshan.
That bastard Qi Xieyuan actually went to visit Yan Xishan.
The four traitors, knowing that your uncle has sharpened his sword and is holding it to kill you, have all gone into hiding.
Can't be that unlucky?
Zhou Xiaoshan didn’t remember the other traitors.
Zhou Xiaoshan originally planned to kill the traitor and seize his hidden property to buy equipment, but now he was dumbfounded.
He took out the 350,000 yuan he brought with him and gave 50,000 yuan to Chu Tianshu. He prepared to send a telegram to ask him to inquire about the equipment prices in Qingdao. If that didn't work, he could just buy a horse.
The round-trip travel expenses and other expenses were all sponsored by the bandits from Hanzhong to Xi'an.
There is more than 310,000 yuan left now, so I can buy a hammer.
Most likely it was that unlucky guy Yan Xishan who suddenly appeared to resolve the situation in Shanxi but ruined his own fortune.
I devoted myself to visiting all the universities in Peking, arranging them in order of fame from the smallest to the largest.
The universities in Peking seemed to be more experienced in dealing with visiting warlords than the two universities in Tianjin.
When I saw a soldier entering the office building, I pushed him out. The visiting card was useless.
Wearing a military uniform, he was even chased away when walking around the campus.
Some of them can't even enter the campus.
It was not until Zhang Jixian's son Zhang Zhenhua asked a familiar professor that Zhou Xiaoshan finally understood.
Yan Xishan and Li Zongren both had their eyes on the students here.
Every year, the Nationalist government would make a request under the pretext of funding allocation, hoping that students who were willing to join the army after graduation would take the Whampoa Military Academy entrance exam.
What these universities fear is that the warlords will take away their students.
This will undoubtedly undermine the foundation of the school and steal people's jobs.
For a university, in addition to the competition on the size of the faculty, the competition on the number and quality of students is the real truth.
But Zhou Xiaoshan felt that the other party's defense was reasonable, and he really came here to target the students this time.
Another two days passed, and what greeted him was yet another failure, which pissed off a group of big-name soldiers in the special forces battalion.
At night in the camp outside the city of Peking, they were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to take up guns to rob all the universities in Peking.
The Sichuan Army felt that the gray ancient city of Peking was more hateful than Tianjin and was full of malice towards their special forces battalion.
The so-called university and learned people think they are great because they have read some books, and they look down on these .
The two deputy battalion commanders and three company commanders became a little anxious and angry when they saw the soldiers who were full of tyranny.
Zhou Xiaoshan said nothing.
Zheng Chunhua, unable to remain calm, went to find his boss Chang Desheng.
"Old Chang, what do you think Zhou Xiaoshan is up to? Does he look like the kind of person who wouldn't fight back?"
Old Chang laughed.
"Isn't it obvious? First courtesy, then force. As for what tactics he wants to use, I also want to know."
"First courtesy, then force. Do you think this kid would go to the gate of Tsinghua University, block people's classes, kidnap students, and take them to Sichuan?"
Chang Desheng burst into laughter, and even Zheng Chunhua was frightened by his own speculation.
This guy has a criminal record. When he was planning to set up a security team in Yongzhou City, he captured dozens of -bodied men.
Feng Tiankui said that Zhou Xiaoshan's warlord style was even stronger than that of his commander.
"Hey, that's really possible. According to what you said, there is nothing in this world that this kid dare not do."
"You said, if we go and ask him now, can he tell us?"
Zheng Chunhua was patted on the shoulder by Chang Desheng.
"Keep calm. Setbacks are not scary. What's scary is that facing setbacks affects your mentality. I particularly admire Zhou Xiaoshan for this. Do you think he's anxious?"
"What tactics will he use to deal with these universities? You saw that we visited six universities today, and they all rejected the gifts we sent them."
"Have you contacted our organization?"
Chang Desheng did not answer Zheng Chunhua, but asked him instead. Seeing him shaking his head bitterly, he sighed again.
"I really can't guess what this kid is going to do. If he can contact the organization, we can rely on the underground party here to help him. However, you have to have confidence in him. Just based on how calm and patient he has been in the past few days, I dare to conclude that this kid is playing the trick of using courtesy before force. Anyway, there are three universities, Sino-French, Yan University, and Tsinghua University, tomorrow. We will know after we visit them."
Zheng Chuanhua thought about it and realized that this little fox Zhou Xiaoshan had never been so stubborn as to swallow his losses.
"Oh, by the way, Old Chang, the commander sent me another secret message, asking me to keep an eye on this kid. He said Chu Tianshu has already come to Qingdao as a substitute, but he is not ready to take action. He is likely to go to Rehe or Northeast China to cause trouble in the next few days."
"Watch it. Rehe is like a powder keg right now. You know, the First World War was triggered by the assassination in Sarajevo. Your commander's worry is not unreasonable. We will persuade him together when the time comes."
Chang Desheng was also very depressed. Not only did Zheng Chunhua not understand this guy, he also didn't understand him.
He had never seen such a young officer.
Firm, decisive, resourceful, and experienced, like a veteran who has fought in blood and fire for many years.
The two were still chatting.
Suddenly, we heard the truck coming back outside. Zhang Zhenhua had made a contribution.
This afternoon, through the students he teaches, he learned about several circles in Rehe where college students from Northeast China gather.
Zhou Xiaoshan was still visiting the school, so he simply sent a group including Liao Chengbing and Zhang Zhenhe to lobby these students.
Twenty students from various colleges and universities in Peking came. They wanted to see whether the Sichuan Army could do as promised.
He went to Sichuan to lead troops for three years and practiced hard on killing the enemy. Three years later, if the Sino-Japanese War had not broken out in full swing and the Sichuan Army had not left Sichuan to fight the war, the 66th Division would have supported them in returning to Rehe and the Northeast to form a team to fight the war.
The first thing a soldier must have is passion.
Looking at more than twenty pairs of eager eyes, Zhou Xiaoshan quickly asked the soldiers to help them present the canned fruits and sit down to listen to his explanation.
"Classmates, I won't hide it from you. I am also a college student. Due to family misfortune, I was forced to join the army. I am very much looking forward to going to the anti-Japanese battlefield, showing my skills, sacrificing my life, and shedding my blood. Because the Japanese are now coveting North China, the Nanjing National Government's national policy of pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression has not been relaxed. Hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops can only stay in Sichuan. We will not sign any . If someone asks about it, we can only say that it is a small trick to recruit soldiers."
This group of students did not make up their minds to follow the Sichuan Army, no matter how much Liao Chengbing and others boasted about it.
After all, the 29th Army was stationed in Peiping. They were a team that had made a name for themselves during the Great Wall War of Resistance. It was very convenient to join the army. They could join the Sichuan Army, travel around most of China, and fight back in two or three years.
"Then how can you guarantee that you won't go back on your word and lie to us?"
"It depends on your vision. In the United States and the United Kingdom, there are regulated stock markets. Any investor with vision will invest in companies with potential and make money when the company soars. I can only tell you one fact. The 66th Division attaches great importance to talents. College students who join the army start as second lieutenants. Our division commander never deducts military pay or food expenses. In the 66th Division, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Our division commander is also the commander of the Yongzhou Defense Zone and never goes back on his words."
"But what the newspapers wrote about your 66th Division is ridiculous."
