The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Yi Shuchen, who dared to take the lead, was not afraid, but there were many people with mixed feelings, and some people were different.

“Really… here?”

A fat captain named Ding Chao was a little flustered, "Staff Officer Yi, should we reconsider this matter?"

Hearing his words, it was obvious that he was going to back down. Yi Shuchen immediately glared at him with anger:

"Damn it, the brothers just expressed their dissatisfaction, and you also complained about your grievances. Now that the matter has come to an end, are you not going to take action?"

The other two captains also glared at him. Fatty Ding avoided his gaze and said, "I, I—"

"It's unfair, but we don't want to cause trouble with Master Hai and the Governor! We... just don't have enough money,"

His obvious surrender intention made Yi Shuchen point his finger at his nose and curse at him, his voice even louder: "Stop pretending to be a good guy here!"

"Do you think I don't know that Hai Pingchuan rewarded you at the beginning of the year? Damn it, for a little bit of profit, you don't care about the lives of your brothers, right -"

After he said this, another regiment leader also said angrily: "That's right, the regiment leaders of Feng Province and Hei Province, which one of them doesn't eat and drink well and marry a lot of concubines? What about us?"

"Think about it again. I want to take a puff of cigarette without any taste in my mouth, but Jiang Cheng banned it——"

"Who has money to play with women? These fucking military salaries are just for beggars!"

Such excitement quickly infected the regiment commanders, deputy regiment commanders, staff officers and battalion commanders, who all complained, "That's right, all the money went to the Jiang family and the Hai family. They ate the meat and didn't even leave us any meat scraps!"

"Brother Lin is right. If we don't hang out with Jiang Cheng anymore, we..."

As he was getting more and more furious, everyone was suddenly shocked -

Outside the courtyard wall, a gunshot was heard.

In the early morning of Siping, the whole city fell into deathly silence. The whistling wind blew the gunshot into pieces, but it echoed repeatedly through the walls of the streets, just like the impending judgment from heaven.

Snow Fox's special forces had infiltrated an hour ago. When Jiang Cheng fired the order, the front and back doors of the Yi family opened at the same time!

The orderly sound of footsteps quickly surrounded them, and the crisp clicking sounds of bolts merged into one, forming the most familiar sound to the men.

"Haha, you want to be a coward, but I'm afraid Jiang Feilan won't give you this opportunity!"

Yi Shuchen sneered a few times, knocked his fist on the table a few times, raised his face and said loudly, "Go, welcome the commander-in-chief to me!"

Before he finished speaking, a calm voice with obvious impatient anger came from outside the door: "Welcome me, you are just a small staff officer, why don't you come out to greet me in person?!"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng's guards rushed in first and surrounded the temporary meeting place in an instant.

Everyone present stood up, except Yi Shuchen, who looked stiff, with his hands on the table in front of him, trying to sit upright and serious. "May I ask, Master Jiang, why have you come here so late at night? Do you have any instructions for me?"

Not a word.

Holding Browning in his hand, Jiang Cheng walked straight through the officers who were standing stiffly in the middle and stood beside Yi Shuchen.

He slowly raised his military cap with the muzzle of his gun, his lips slightly curled and his eyes looked extremely provocative.

"Colonel Yi is really arrogant. Master Jiang, I'm standing, but you're sitting?"

Hearing this, the staff officer couldn't help but stand up. When he wanted to repeat the question, Jiang Cheng suddenly raised Browning and shot him through the chest! The blooming blood flower exploded instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the table and all the surrounding objects were stained with blood and flesh.

Everyone, including Ding Chao, took a deep breath. One civil servant, who could not stand steadily, was so scared that he sat down sideways on the ground.

"hehe."

Jiang Cheng looked cold and indifferent, and walked towards the armchair where Yi Shuchen had just sat.

No orders were needed, the two guards understood what was meant, and they rushed forward and dragged Yi Shuchen's dead body out with their claws and teeth bared.

Jiang Cheng sat down, his long legs in shiny riding boots resting on the table. He put Browning, who was still smoking, in front of him and said word by word, "We are all grown men. We should take responsibility for our actions, right?"

"Who is not afraid of death, please stand up and tell me, Master Jiang, what do you want to do now?"

Silence fell.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open like dead fish, unable to answer, but then they saw Jiang Cheng reaching out his slender hand to touch the pistol again. Ding Chao calmed himself down and stepped forward first: "Master Jiang, please allow me to report this!"

After noticing the pair of pupils that seemed to burn ice signaling him to speak, Ding Chao wisely took off his belt quickly and stepped forward with awe, saying, "Master Jiang, we don't deny wanting to cause trouble!"

“But there really is a reason for it!”

Clearly seeing the impatience in those bottomless eyes, Fatty Ding continued, "Master Jiang, I am not Master Hai's old subordinate - I am a subordinate of Du Haisheng, the former garrison commander of Siping."

"After you took Siping, you followed Master Hai... We have always admired you and Master Hai for being fair and honest, and you have nothing to say about the people!"

"But, but we are soldiers, and we also need money for everything. With only these few military salaries, we can't even visit our relatives!"

Listening to him continue to complain, Jiang Cheng lowered his eyelids.

It's not like he hasn't thought about this.

As the saying goes, "If you want to get promoted and make money, please go elsewhere; if you are afraid of death, don't come here." In this corrupt environment of the Republic of China, how many people really did that?
In more than two years, he quickly "conquered cities and territories" and was promoted from a cadet soldier who was not even a battalion commander to a Jilin officer who controlled many troops. In addition to strengthening himself, he mostly absorbed the old members of the original Fengtian Army.

Although this process is rapid, the contradictions between the new and old soldiers will be exposed sooner or later.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng always delegated power to his subordinates, using benefits to keep them loyal, while also cultivating young officers with advanced ideas and more loyalty, and then slowly replacing these old subordinates who could not keep up with the team...

Jiang Cheng had been planning this all along, but Hai Rushong, who was too honest and upright, used drastic measures on his subordinates.

"I have nothing to say about my rebellion, and you deserve to be killed."

Ding Chao finished explaining the situation, swallowed hard and said seriously, "But the brothers are suffering, working hard for you, and always want to..."

Jiang Cheng interrupted him: "Stop talking - what, in your opinion, if you can't eat and drink, marry a concubine, smoke, drink, play cards and gamble, you have to make trouble with me, right!"

Jiang Cheng slammed his palm on the table in front of him, jumped up and pointed at the anxious officers, "You are causing a mutiny and you still have so many excuses for me!"

Ding Chao was shocked by the young officer's unmistakable majesty. He stood upright in the middle, trembling slightly.

"Drag them away, leaving no one behind."

Jiang Cheng turned his gaze away from these people and spoke in a lazy voice. (End of this chapter)
