Republic of China game

Probably because of the sweltering weather, Zhang Zuolin has been feeling very irritable recently. When he is free, he takes a few steps around the water in Zhongnanhai to relieve his mood a little.It's just that seeing the emperor's residence with carved railings and jade, which is about to change hands, it's not a good feeling in my heart.

The surname of Zhang in Beijing has been more than two years, and the career of China's top leaders for more than two years seems to have gained some flavor after the second Russo-Japanese War started.First sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, then hold the Seven Nations Peace Conference to mediate the war, then sign the "Asian Peace Treaty", and finally even Mongolia is taken back!At least the Soviet Red Army packed up and left. As for the central army being unable to enter for the time being, that’s okay. Anyway, there are many places where the central army cannot go.But the situation of the old Zhang family has just improved, and Sun Dapao from the south wants to come to usurp the throne again!What's more, it was fair and honest who sent a representative to "invite" Zhang Zuolin to be the vice president of the Republic of China... The end was finally better than that of Pu Yi.

Now the two representatives of the Kuomintang, Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei, have arrived in Zhongnanhai at this moment.In the living room of Jurentang, he is drinking tea and "chatting" with Zhang Xueliang, Zeng Qi, Yang Yuting, the head of the Feng Dynasty, and Wu Peifu, who acts as a peacemaker. They are talking about who will control the ups and downs of the world!

……

Both Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei looked confident.In fact, the general trend of the world has long been clear, and it is already the general trend for Sun Yat-sen to sit on the top spot.Right now, the Kuomintang is strong and strong, and it even defeated the Soviet Red Army not long ago!Who in China would dare to compete with it?Now, after mediating the Japan-Soviet War and signing the "Asian Peace Treaty", the three powers of Britain, the United States and France have already expressed their support... and the Soviet Union and Japan, which have ambiguous attitudes, have already suffered from the situation of both sides after the Japan-Soviet War. At this moment, they can only lick their wounds in their lair, and they can't stop the Kuomintang's ambitions at all.

The three members of the Feng family did not have the grief of the subjugated ministers. This is probably the difference between the Republic of China and the Empire, right?The top leader in the Republic of China is theoretically just a manager rather than an owner.Since the Yuan Dynasty, many people have already taken this seat, and even if they temporarily lost the throne, as long as they keep their strength, it cannot be said that there is no chance of making it back in the future.Isn't the current KMT a living example?During the Revolution of 40, he served as the interim president once, but in the end, he had to give up his strength to Yuan Shikai and Beiyang. Isn't he making a comeback now?So there is nothing wrong with giving up the president's seat, the key is to maintain strength!Keep the old home of the Feng family in the northeast, Zhili and Chahar in the pass, and [-] to [-] elite Feng troops.Uh, it doesn't seem to be very elite, but it has to be kept.

Sitting between the representatives of the Kuomintang and the Feng faction was this time the "peacemaker" Wu Peifu, who planned to die in the anti-Russian battlefield.It turned out that the sun really came out from the west... The Russian invaders were actually defeated!There is a credit for his third division!Thinking of these, Wu Yushuai was both proud and a little bit regretful.If only I was in the third division at that time, even if I sat in the division headquarters without saying a word or giving a single order, it would be fine.

At this time, Wu Peifu coughed lightly, and broke the awkward silence: "Mr. Sun is now the well-deserved leader of China, and Zhang Yushuai will not object, right?"

Zhang Xueliang on the side smiled calmly: "That's natural. The commander-in-chief had long hoped that Mr. Sun would come out and lead everyone to maintain the situation. It's just...the country was in dire straits at the time, and Mr. Sun's health was not good, so we had to Encouraged by the father to maintain it, it is finally fulfilling the mission."

Listening to the tone of the words, it seems that the current turning point in China is due to the good leadership of their father and son... But it is also true, and now Beijing is promoting that General Zhang Xueliang personally deployed the command, led the soldiers to fight bloody battles and won the Great Victory in Manchuria!Right now, Young Marshal Zhang is a national hero in the eyes of hundreds of millions of people. I don't know how many girls from the Northland are overwhelmed by his heroism!

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and echoed, "What the young marshal said is very true. In any case, our China began to revive when Zhang Dashuai was the head of state, and history will never forget this. But now Dashuai Zhang is willing to do it for the country's sake." The peaceful reunification to give up the position of the head of state is even more meritorious."

……

"Marshal Zhang, the view of our Japanese empire is that the head of state can be given up, but the territory, army and financial power must be preserved. Otherwise, it's not like killing a donkey, but at most giving you father and son a peaceful meal. , where is the prestige that is now called lonely in the south?"

Rihachiro Sakanishi did not know when he appeared behind Zhang Zuolin. Now he is no longer the military attache of the Japanese embassy in China, but transferred to the reserve service and became a member of the noble house of the Japanese parliament.I don't know why, but now he doesn't go back to Japan to discuss national affairs. Instead, he stays in China and continues to act as a counselor for Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin glanced back at his "friend" Banxi, and smiled deeply: "I know what Mr. Banxi said, the land army is the foundation of my Zhang Zuolin, and it's no big deal not to have the false name of Beijing City. I plan to wait for the things here After that, I will lead the troops out of the customs and go back to my hometown in Northeast China to live, so as not to suffer in this steamer-like city of Beijing!"

Hearing Zhang Zuolin's plan to lead the troops out of the customs, Banxi's face suddenly flashed a gloomy look, but in a flash he smiled again: "The commander-in-chief's words are wrong, and the commander-in-chief's current thoughts are the same as those before the end of the war in the Boshin year of our country. Just like Tokugawa Yoshiki, he thought that as long as he resigned from the position of the general who conquered barbarians, the territory of the Tokugawa family could be preserved. As a result, Emperor Meiji abolished the shogunate and ordered Tokugawa Yoshihito to resign Land, that is, to deprive him of all his official positions, and confiscate the hereditary territory of the Tokugawa family for more than 200 years!"

Zhang Zuolin was stunned when he heard "resign from office and accept land"!If they give up the position of the central government, then they will be subordinates in the department!Sun Dapao only needs a piece of "King's Order" to remove him from his job and various positions, and then send Luo Yaoguo to lead an army to crusade, the consequences can be understood with toes.

Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled and said with confidence: "The situation Tokugawa Yoshiki faced at that time was similar to your current situation. It is naturally unrealistic to continue to maintain the status of the general who conquered barbarians. But he is absolutely You shouldn’t come and walk away, thinking that you can return the great government and you’ll be done.”

"How do you say it?" Zhang Zuolin's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Rihachiro Sakanishi, waiting for the next words.

Sakanishi smiled slightly: "It's good for Tokugawa Yoshinori to return the administration, but he should never give up control of Kyoto! Kyoto and the emperor should not fall into the hands of the downfall faction, let alone withdraw from the decision-making level of the Japanese central government If the shogunate army still controlled Kyoto at that time, and Tokugawa Yoshiki still participated in the formulation of major policies, would there be any edict of "resigning from office and accepting land"? Could the fallen shogunate army defeat his shogunate army without the name of the emperor? "

"...Now, Commander-in-Chief, it is the general trend for you to give up the central position, even the Empire of Japan can't do anything about it. But your army must never leave Zhili, and you can't let go of Beijing! As long as Beijing and Zhili are within your In your hands, the central government of the Kuomintang has to rely on you to maintain it. Naturally, they will not dare to rely on the name of the central government to deprive you of your territory and army!"

"But...can Sun Yat-sen agree to do this?" Hearing Banxi's idea, Zhang Zuolin just shook his head: "Now one of their divisions is stationed in Harbin, keeping an eye on my lair all the time, and there are [-] other divisions on the way. South. Moreover, Henan is now the territory of the Kuomintang, and they are very close to Beijing! How can we resist with the strength of our Feng faction?"

Rihachiro Sakanishi sneered: "Of course the Feng family can't resist, but commander, don't forget that there is still the Communist Party! There are no permanent enemies in the world. As long as the interests are the same, sworn enemies can also join hands! "

"Communist Party!" Zhang Zuolin's expression sank when he heard these three words. The Communist Party has caused him a lot of trouble in the past two years, and half of the reason why the Feng family is so miserable now is the endless workers of the Communist Party of China. Movement and Peasant Revolt!It made it impossible to collect taxes on the territory of the Feng family, and the "bandits" could not be suppressed, and now they still have to cooperate with them to deal with Sun Dapao?

"No, aren't you Japanese and the Communist Party are deadly enemies? Didn't Nosaka and Katayama of the Japanese Communist Party and Kim Jae-bong of the Korean Communist Party just shot you? Why are we going to the Communist Party of China now? ?” Zhang Zuolin asked with a gloomy old face.

Sakanishi Rihachiro laughed awkwardly, shook his hand and said, "Of course our Great Japanese Empire will destroy the Communist Party in Japan...but the situation of the Chinese Communist Party is different. They are now the only ones in China who can fight against the Kuomintang. The ruling power poses a threat! If the Feng faction wants to continue to survive on the Chinese political stage, it must unite with the CCP. This is not only the view of the Great Japanese Empire, but also the meaning of the Soviet Union!"

Soviet Union!Where is this all?Zhang Zuolin shook his head suspiciously, turned around, and continued to appreciate the water scenery of Zhongnanhai.

……

Negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Feng faction were proceeding at a leisurely pace, and a few days later, representatives of other factions in China also entered Beijing one after another to discuss the great cause of dynastic change.

Speaking of the various factions in China at the moment, they are actually the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, the Youth Party, and the Feng Faction. The four major factions have enough weight to speak.As for Jin Yan, Duan Wan, and Wu Peifu who had lost all his territory and only had one division soldier left, they were just a pile of bitter bones.However, the Feng Department treats them very politely.When the "dead bones" came to Beijing, the Qianmen Railway Station was decorated with lights and festoons, the floor was paved with a big red carpet, and the military band of the guard of honor welcomed them. The old Zhang's father and son also stood neatly dressed on the red carpet to greet them... ... I don't know if I want to have another addiction to the head of state?

On a certain day in July of the 16th year of the Republic of China, this scene was once again staged at Qianmen Railway Station.Comrade Li Lisan, a representative of the Communist Party of China, is in Beijing today.

Now he is the top leader of the CCP, and the CCP is also undergoing a power reshuffle during this period.Qu Qiubai, who had no military power and was not favored by the Soviet Union, finally stepped down without any suspense. He was replaced by Comrade Li Lisan, a revolutionary from the labor movement.In addition, Xiang Zhongfa, who was born in the working class, has now entered the Politburo and has become a core leadership member of the CCP, responsible for the labor movement.Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong both kept their positions, after all, China's Red Army was brought together by the two of them.The commanders and fighters of the Chinese Red Army are not as high-minded as the Soviet Red Army... For example, the Daxinganling Soviet Area is now inaccessible, and no one dares to pay attention to the representatives of the Soviet Union when they go!If anyone pays attention, they might become Trotskyites in a blink of an eye!

Regarding his mission to enter Beijing this time, Lun Xin said that Li Lisan has no direction at all.In June, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had just expelled Chen Duxiu from the party for committing the mistake of "Right capitulationism" in accordance with the spirit of the Communist International's instructions!Isn't Chen Duxiu's right-leaning capitulationism just to join the bourgeois government?Everyone knows that it was attended by the Communist International's instructions!And now... He, Li Lisan, has received instructions from the Communist International to come to Beijing to discuss the issue of joining the "bourgeois" coalition government!What if there is something next, will I also become Chen Duxiu's second?

Thinking of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai's slightly gloating reactions when he announced this instruction at the Politburo meeting, Li Lisan had a very bad premonition.

The seat of the CCP delegation is still Biyun Temple in Xishan outside Beijing, the same as it was during the last Beijing Revolution.Li Lisan and the others had just settled down when Zirnekh, Chargé d'Affaires of the Soviet Embassy in China, came to visit in a hurry.

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Zirnech straightforwardly explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that he was now representing the Communist International to convey verbal instructions to Li Lisan!

"Comrade Li San, the Communist International instructed the CCP to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Feng faction in this meeting of various factions in Beijing. The Communist International believes that the biggest threat to the Chinese revolution is no longer the Feng faction warlords, but ruled more than half of the country. The Kuomintang reactionaries in China! Because there are more and more evidences that the Kuomintang reactionaries have turned to the Anglo-American and French imperialists and become lackeys to safeguard the interests of the imperialists in the Asian colonies! We must now unite all the forces that can be united and fight against them. Resolute struggle!"

Li Lisan frowned slightly and nodded.

To be honest, his views on the Kuomintang are consistent with those of the Communist International.The "Asian Peace Treaty" proposed by the Kuomintang this time has obviously betrayed the interests of the people in the Asian colonies, and at the same time betrayed the Chinese revolution with the purpose of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism!

"Comrade Zirnekh, does the Communist International mean that we should oppose Sun Yat-sen's appointment as the president of China at the meetings of the various factions?"

Hearing Li Lisan's question, Zierneh couldn't help frowning: "As far as the current situation is concerned...the CCP and the Feng faction probably don't have the power to prevent Sun Yat-sen from getting the position of president. And even if they prevent Sun Yat-sen from becoming president President, it does not have much influence on the Kuomintang’s continued betrayal of the revolution and the reactionary actions of the people of Asia.”

Li Lisan became more and more confused the more he listened, the words of the Soviet charge d'affaires were really profound, I really don't know what they meant?

Seeing the puzzled expression on the other party's face, Zierneh shook his head lightly, and said something more clearly: "The first thing to prevent the KMT from using Sun Yat-sen as president to expand its power. So the president can let Sun Yat-sen do it, but The Kuomintang army must all retreat across the Yellow River! The Kuomintang army must not be allowed to control the city of Beijing! In addition... the customs in the north cannot be merged into the customs area of ​​southern China! Moreover, the central government's future finances must also be borne by the national government. Finally, China's current The original order on the territory of each faction must also be maintained.”

……

"Brother Fuwen, do you think we can help the Prime Minister sit on the throne of the President this time?"

Luo Yaoguo was sitting with Wang Jingwei in the coffee shop of the Liuguo Hotel at the moment, and there was a cup of fragrant coffee in front of them.After getting along for this period of time, the relationship between him and Wang Jingwei improved slightly. In fact, the two of them didn't have too many conflicts in the past, but Luo Yaoguo had some opinions on his disgraceful role in history.

Luo Yaoguo picked up the coffee and took a sip: "There is no problem with the president, but...the situation in the north probably won't get better because the prime minister became president, right? In the end, it might have to be resolved by force."

Wang Jingwei and Luo Yaoguo looked at each other, nodded and said with a smile, "Since the final battle is inevitable, why couldn't we strike earlier?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wang overestimated the strength of our party. It's no wonder that the first battle of Zhalai Nuoer was indeed a bit eye-catching. In fact, Mr. Wang didn't know that although this great victory was brilliant, , but there are also many coincidences in it. First of all, the Russians have been fighting hard in Zhalainor for a long time, and the troops have been exhausted, and they are already exhausted. Secondly, in this battle, we used the latest tactics, this new The tactics happened to be the outdated tactics used to deal with the Russian invaders, so it worked wonders. In the end, our [-]th Division actually gathered the essence of the entire National Revolutionary Army, which was stronger than the ordinary Soviet Red Army. This War is not a response to the actual combat power of us and the Soviet Union, so we can only endure it now, and we must not overly stimulate the Soviet Union and Japan, lest they join forces to interfere!"

"But what if... the Japanese are willing to support our KMT members to control the Northeast?" When Wang Jingwei said this, a strange brilliance suddenly appeared on Wang Jingwei's elegant face.

Chapter 0343 Peaceful Reunification ([-]) Combine Vertical and Horizontal

As the night gradually shrouded this imperial capital of the Five Dynasties, which carried too much suffering and glory at the same time.The hustle and bustle of Beijing seems to have disappeared, leaving only the tranquility full of simplicity and profoundness.However, in this quiet night, the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane was ablaze with lights, making it more bustling and bustling than during the day.During this period of time, at night, many people from various factions gathered in Beijing will always appear at this gathering place of dignitaries and dignitaries, doing various behind-the-scenes transactions.There are not only the current alliances between various factions in China, but also various "efforts" by various factions to win the support of the big powers.

The current situation in China has reached a very delicate turning point.Since ancient times, this country has had a tradition of "unity for a long time, division for a long time, and unity for a long time". A chaotic world can last for hundreds of years, and it can be as short as ten years, and there will always be a unified ending.In this chaotic world, whether the heroes will become the final winners and create a prosperous and powerful new dynasty, or become the losers and lose everything, seems to be decided soon!

However, people who were in troubled times from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China know that the current troubled times are different from any situation in the history of warlords fighting for hegemony.That is, there are now great powers from the Eastern and Western countries!These great powers often play an extraordinary role in China's domestic situation.Don't look at Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang's military strength and majesty at the moment, but in terms of real strength, the Soviet Union in the north and Japan in the east can still defeat them!Of course... It doesn't look like it will be easy to defeat now. The two countries have to use their old foundations to fight, or they have to join hands.

So in some people's opinion, if we want to continue playing in this troubled world, we must prevent Sun Yat-sen from truly unifying China, and the only way to do this is to rely on Japan and the Soviet Union.Similarly, if the Kuomintang wants to complete the great cause of reunification, it must also obtain the support of one of Japan and the Soviet Union. Only in this way can it offset the interference of the other and finally complete the reunification!As for how to turn your face and refuse to admit it after the reunification... that's all possible.And this "some people" included Wang Jingwei!Today Wang Jingwei and Luo Yaoguo spent an afternoon in the coffee shop of the Liuguo Hotel, and also chatted for an afternoon. The content they talked about was about cooperation with Japan.

It seems that the old problem of this big traitor in history has committed again!From Luo Yaoguo's point of view, this person is not very suitable for playing politics.This person is a little...too honest!Uh, just to be honest.No wonder Sun Yat-sen liked him very much. Those who work as a "dictator" generally like relatively honest subordinates.It's more reassuring to use... A black-bellied master like Luo Yaoguo, that is, Sun Yat-sen, who is two generations older than him, dare to use it!

It turns out that Wang Jingwei has been fighting fiercely with that old Japanese man Inuyang Takeshi during this time, and he and Inuyoto have figured out a way to unify China with the help of Japan!It may be because he knows that Wang Jingwei doesn't count very much in the Kuomintang. After the head of the dog pension has settled with Wang Jingwei, he insists on talking with Luo Yaoguo again.

The place where Luo Yaoguo and Quan Yangyi met was also in the Liuguo Hotel. The three of them entered the luxury box of the restaurant of the Liuguo Hotel, ordered a table of delicious food, and sat down to eat and talk.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.It really is a feast for the host and guest.Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Inuyo nodded slightly at Luo Yaoguo, and spoke in fluent Chinese:

"General Luo Yaoguo, China and Japan are now at a critical juncture. In Japan, politicians who are friendly to China are gradually losing power, while military forces that are hostile to China are gradually rising .At present, some people are even making plans to carve up China! Presumably General Luo has heard of it, right?"
