Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

After the capture of Peking, the First Corps was stationed there. Everyone wanted the First Corps stationed there, and Wei Hongjun had no objection. After all, the First Corps had a glorious history, and many of its troops had achieved remarkable successes during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.

Who knew that problems would arise with the First Corps?

Furthermore, the problem was with Huang Fa, commander of the First Corps. Huang Fa had a history of serious problems. Among PLA generals, there were many who had extramarital affairs. But Huang Fa was definitely the first to be ordered executed for having an extramarital affair and then shooting his own wife.

But the reason why Huangfa did such an impulsive thing in history was also related to the ups and downs he experienced in those years.

Huang Fa also had great military achievements in history. However, since the Anti-Japanese War, he has gotten into trouble several times because of his violent temper. In particular, he had a very bad relationship with those 38-style student cadres in Jinchayi. They all thought that Huang Fa was rough and had a warlord style. Huang Fa had conflicts with them several times, and he always suffered losses in the end. Many people in Jinchayi did not like Yang Quanwu and wanted to take action against Yang Quanwu, but they could not do it. So they took action against Yang Quanwu's favorite general Huang Fa. Huang Fa was a rough man with a lot of problems. As a result, Huang Fa had several ups and downs during the Anti-Japanese War. This ups and downs made Huang Fa very sensitive. When his wife found out that he had an affair with the nanny at home, she said she would report it to the organization.

As a result, in order to cover up the scandal, Huang Fa shot his wife to death. In the end, the Chairman personally gave the order to shoot.

But in this time and space, Huangfa has always been smooth sailing.

Following Yang Quanwu, he won battle after battle, and during the Anti-Japanese War, he killed several Japanese generals, making him famous throughout the Eighth Route Army. After the outbreak of the Liberation War, he continued to win battles.

Huang Fa was Yang Quanwu's first brigade commander, column commander, and corps commander. With his military achievements and the support of Marshal Nie and Yang Quanwu, Huang Fa's promotion to general was a no-brainer. His future was bright.

So Wei Hongjun thought that even if such a thing happened to him, it would not be the same as in history.

Unexpectedly, the affair with the nanny did not happen, but after entering Peking, he had an affair with a female student and caused a sensation in the city. Huang Fa was 36 years old this year, and he was also the commander of a corps with great military achievements. It can be said that it is a good age for a man.

There was actually a female college student who rushed over.

Huangfa couldn't control himself either.

The scandal began to spread like wildfire on campus.

"Comrade Du Liqing, have you checked the background of that female student?"

This is not Wei Hongjun being sensitive.

But this has happened too many times in history.

How many veteran Red Army soldiers and Party members failed to control themselves and fell into the "honey trap" of the spies. Huang Fa was a senior PLA general. If such a senior general fell into someone else's "honey trap", it would be a huge scandal.

Moreover, the First Corps is undoubtedly the Fifth Field Army.

Yang Quanwu knew he had to lead his troops south to fight, so he had been discussing the time, route, and other issues with some of his generals. If the female student Huang Fa was in a relationship with was really a spy, who knows how much intelligence would be leaked.

"The family runs a small business. As for other matters, there's currently no evidence to suggest any connection to spies. It seems more likely that the girl's family wanted to curry favor with Commander Huang. However, the subsequent rumors suggest the involvement of spies. Otherwise, it wouldn't have spread throughout Peking in just a day or two."

Du Liqing spoke.

Du Liqing now also finds it ridiculous.

After the Ministry of Social Affairs entered Peking, its most important task was to suppress "counter-revolutionaries." Unexpectedly, the first thorny problem they encountered was one of their own, a powerful general with distinguished military achievements.

"I know about this."

Sun Yi's face turned unhappy and he said, "The impact is too bad, we need to calm down public opinion as soon as possible.

Regarding Huang Fa, Sun Yi didn't want to say this.

But the impact now is too bad.

With those behind the scenes fanning the flames, rumors abounded. The most widespread rumour was that PLA generals were entering Peking and seeking concubines from among its female students. This allegation was highly credible, and as a result, not only did the situation deteriorate at universities, but even Peking residents with female students began to tremble with fear. Small businessmen with some means were already wary of the CCP's policies, and now with this negative influence, the situation worsened.

"Ah."

After seeing Du Liqing and Sun Yi off, Wei Hongjun thought about it carefully.

Wei Hongjun couldn't handle this alone because Huang Fa's position was too high. He was the Corps Commander, and if the Liberation War went well, he could even become the Deputy Commander of the Field Army. So Wei Hongjun immediately called Yang Quanwu and Luo Qirong, and everyone went to meet Marshal Nie.

Marshal Nie was also shocked after hearing Wei Hongjun's report.

And he was very angry.

At such a crucial moment, Huang Fa had unleashed such a catastrophic mess. The takeover of Peking and Tianjin had been going quite smoothly, with no major issues. It could have served as a model for future city takeovers. But Huang Fa's single move had completely undone all those efforts. Yang Quanwu's expression was grim.

Wei Hongjun had already told Yang Quanwu what had happened on the phone.

Yang Quanwu immediately called Huang Fa and scolded him.

Originally, Yang Quanwu was full of energy and vigor.

Among the current PLA troops, who can compare with Yang Quanwu with the same seniority as him? Many famous generals in the Red Army era are no match for Yang Quanwu now.

Yang Quanwu is now the acting commander and political commissar of the powerful Fifth Field Army.

His power surpasses that of General Su and General Chen.

This time, General Su was only the deputy commander of the Third Field Army, and General Chen was only the corps commander of the Second Field Army.

In North China, Yang Quanwu's voice is also very important.

Guo Tianmin, who had previously been able to rival Yang Quanwu in the Jin-Cha Wing, had gone to the First Field Army, while Deng Guo and Huang Yong had gone to the Fourth Field Army. Wei Hongjun was now beginning to be transferred to the local areas, and Yang Quanwu was truly unrivaled in the North China Field Army.

But at this moment, Huang Fa's behavior directly affected many of Yang Quanwu's original plans. Wei Hongjun looked at Yang Quanwu and said, "Old leader, what exactly is Comrade Huang Fa thinking? Is he just losing control this time, or is he planning a divorce?"

Yang Quanwu and Huang Fa have a very close relationship and personal friendship.

Historically, after Huang Fa got into trouble, his daughter was still raised by Yang Chengwu.

"He means he wants a divorce."

"Bastard thing."

When Nie Shuai heard Huang Fa wanted a divorce, he slammed the table and said, "He's only known that female student for a few days, and he's abandoning his family. He's completely disregarding his dignity for a woman. This is a terrible thing, and it must be dealt with severely."

Chapter 720 Processing

"I propose that Huang Fa be removed from his post as commander of the First Corps and all other Party posts, placed on probation within the Party for one year, and sent to the North China Army University as a tactical instructor. Also, Comrade Liu Shude, as the Corps' Political Commissar, failed to keep an eye on Huang Fa and is guilty of negligence. I propose that Comrade Liu Shude be removed from his post as Political Commissar of the First Corps and given an internal Party warning. He should be appointed Deputy Political Commissar, then Acting Political Commissar, of the First Corps."

Marshal Nie rarely gets so angry.

And even if he was angry, he would not be so merciless, especially when facing a beloved general like Huang Fa who had made great military achievements. But this time, Marshal Nie was really too angry. Seriously speaking, although Huang Fa's gender issues were serious, they were not enough to make Marshal Nie so furious. The main reason was that Huang Fa's timing of committing the crime was not good. It happened to be the eve of the victory of the revolution when the Chinese Communist Party began to march into large cities. In addition, there were too many rumors in the city of Beiping, which had a very bad influence and tarnished the image of the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, Marshal Nie proposed to deal with Huang Fa severely. Huang Fa's positions in the party and the army were to be removed, and he would be placed on probation for one year in the party. It can be said that he was directly demoted to the bottom. He went from being the commander of the corps to a teacher at the North China Army University. Even Huang Fa's affairs affected his partner, Liu Shude, the political commissar of the First Corps.

Marshal Nie was truly disappointed. When the Jincha Military Region was established, the region itself lacked many directly affiliated units. As a mobile unit, the region's special forces regiment was far inferior in combat effectiveness to the main regiments of the various military sub-regions.

As for the training regiment, Marshal Nie was reluctant to use it as the main force. Therefore, every time the Japanese army raided, the military district itself had no defense force, and a division would send troops to protect the military district.

As the most senior general under Yang Quanwu, Huang Fa personally led his troops to defend the military region several times, allowing the military region's command and logistics agencies to retreat while he stayed behind to block the Japanese army.

After more interactions, Nie Shuai became very appreciative of Huang Fa.

Although Huang Fa was a rough man with little education, he was a highly qualified soldier. Whenever Marshal Nie or Yang Quanwu gave him an order, Huang Fa would not bargain, no matter how difficult it was to complete, and would always carry it out without compromise. He performed many dangerous missions with flying colors. And Huang Fa wasn't just a fierce and valiant general. He was brave, daring, and intelligent in battle, yet also incredibly meticulous, able to discern enemy movements from even the smallest clues. So, despite Huang Fa's lack of formal military training, he was a highly skilled fighter.

So we can always fight some unexpected and beautiful battles.

Needless to say, during the Anti-Japanese War, after the outbreak of the Liberation War, many cadres were not used to large-scale troop operations. But Huang Fa did not let down in the large-scale troop operations.

Among the North China Field Army units, the First and Fifth Corps were the two most powerful units with the most veterans, the best weapons and equipment, and the strongest combat effectiveness. The majority of the First Corps' main force came from the former First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region, while the Fifth Corps' main force came from the former Eighth Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region. These two representative units of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region.

Marshal Nie also hoped that the First Corps could move south and win glory for Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and North China in the subsequent War of Liberation.

But who could have imagined that before the First Corps even moved south, Huang Fa, the commander of the First Corps, would smear it so harshly. Furthermore, this was a crucial moment, and Marshal Nie had always prioritized stability.

The stability of the North China Bureau, the stability of the North China People’s Government, and the stability of the North China Military Region.

As long as things remained stable, Marshal Nie's pace would be steady. He wouldn't have been too concerned about minor issues that arose during this process. But Huang Fa was different; he was one of the North China Military Region's most iconic generals. Such a major incident must be dealt with swiftly, and the negative impact eliminated quickly.

Upon hearing Marshal Nie's words, Yang Quanwu immediately said, "Commander, Huang Fa did indeed do something wrong. But this is just a matter of conduct, not something that warrants such severe punishment. A million elite Kuomintang troops are now concentrated in the area north of the Yangtze River. The upcoming battle will undoubtedly be a decisive one for the Chinese revolution. The First Corps is the main force of our field army. If we replace its commander at this moment, will it affect its morale? Huang Fa is a capable general. Shouldn't we give him a chance?"

Although Yang Quanwu scolded Huangfa on the phone.

But I didn't expect Marshal Nie to be so angry.

It's just a matter of work style.

Why is it so serious?

Marshal Nie did not answer Yang Quanwu directly.

Turning around, he said, "Hongjun, have you told him what rumors are circulating on the Peking campus, and even on the streets of Peking?"

"Not yet."

"You talk to him."

Wei Hongjun said, "Old leader, rumors are spreading across the Peking campus that our People's Liberation Army is now the victor. They say our Party and our army have always fought in the mountains, and this time they've entered a big city, just like Li Zicheng entering a city. Our PLA generals have never seen beautiful foreign students, so after entering the city they're going to snatch female students from university campuses as concubines. There's even a rumor going around in Peking that we're going to practice communism and share wives."

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Yang Quanwu could not accept such filth.

Although Yang Quanwu's status rose, and he began to have some thoughts of protecting his own mountaintop, he never forgot his rural roots in western Fujian. His purpose in joining the revolution was to overthrow the exploiting class and to build a new China.

Nie Shuai snorted coldly, "Then do you know where these rumors came from?"

Yang Quanwu was speechless.

I know this is all caused by Huangfa.

But Yang Quanwu still said: "Commander, why not let him take credit for his achievements on the battlefield? Generals like him will still be needed in future wars.

"How do you want him to redeem himself from his crime?"

"You can let him be the army commander, or if that doesn't work, you can let him be the division commander." Marshal Nie was not satisfied with Yang Quanwu's protection of his shortcomings.

So he said directly: "If he becomes a division commander or army commander, tell me yourself, who in the entire Fifth Field Army can mobilize his division or his army besides you?

Nie Shuai is very familiar with Huang Fa.

After all, he is also an old subordinate of Marshal Nie and has fought under Marshal Nie for many years.

But precisely because of their familiarity, Marshal Nie knew Yang Quanwu's proposal was completely unworkable. The First Corps was Yang Quanwu's direct line, but it was also Huang Fa's direct line. If Huang Fa were to be assigned to the First Corps as a division commander or corps commander, who among the corps' officers would be able to command him? With Huang Fa's temper, he would want to command the corps instead.

What if I go to other corps?

That's even more of a problem.

Among the leaders of the Jin-Cha-Ji Corps, whose qualifications can be compared with Huang Fa's, and whose military exploits are greater than Huang Fa's? Those with greater military exploits than Huang Fa do not have as much qualifications as him. Those with greater qualifications than him do not have as much military exploits as him.

In addition, Huangfa's temper would make things difficult for other corps if he went to other corps.

This is very obvious.

It’s like a large number of old generals in history made a comeback, but the military regions under them didn’t want them.

why?

The reason for this was that the veteran generals who returned were too experienced, and no one wanted to have so many veteran generals come to their side and cause trouble. In the end, it was General Xu who accepted a large number of these generals. He had sufficient experience and military merits.

This is the case with Huangfa.

As Yang Quanwu's top general, Huang Fa held a high position in the Jin-Cha-Ji region, and any arrangement would be inappropriate. Of course, Marshal Nie had never considered sending Huang Fa south with the field army. This incident had such a negative impact, and he still wanted to continue leading the troops?

So Marshal Nie said, "The impact of this incident is too severe. We must kill a hundred of them. If every one of them follows his example and enters the city to have sex with those girls, then what will we become? We will really become Li Zicheng."
