Republic of China game

The answer to the extremely respectful Zhang Zuolin's personal letter was a sneer.

"What a double-faced wrist of bean curd with a knife. No wonder Zhang Zuolin, who was born in the green forest, can create a great foundation. I'm afraid it's just relying on this ability to deal with various factions? I can guarantee that at the moment Tianjin Wei Commander Nobuyoshi Muto also has a letter like this on hand, right?"

"This is betrayal!" Zhang Wentian (Luo Fu) slapped the table and stood up abruptly, with a white and clean scholarly face full of anger: "We want to fight back against this kind of anti-Japanese banner that destroys the anti-Japanese situation. I suggest organizing students, workers and all patriots in Beijing to take to the streets to protest. At the same time, our party's "Red Star" and other leftist newspapers should also expose the conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries, so that the people of the whole country can clearly see it. Who is really fighting against Japan! Who is only thinking about grabbing territory and picking peaches."

Zhou Enlai also picked up the letter raft, read it over and over several times, and finally smiled lightly: "The war is coming to an end now, so it's time to pick peaches. And our party can be said to have reaped a lot this time." The 34 counties to the north of the Yellow River in Shandong Province even have a Dexian arsenal, and they also received 10,000+ people from the national army. The KMT gave another batch of second-hand Japanese ordnance. There are donations from the people of the whole country... Finally, there is such a coalition government chairman. It is understandable that people want to share a piece of the pie, and we can't eat alone now, right?"

Mao Zedong, who was about to become chairman, didn't seem to be at all happy. Instead, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly smoked it, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.He was not as excited as Zhang Wentian, nor as calm as Zhou Enlai.Zhou Enlai's last sentence "you can't eat alone" made him think a lot.

This time, the topic of "Going to Beijing for the Exam" is a coalition government. Since it is a coalition, we cannot eat alone.The north is now just Liao, Ji, Hei, Re, Cha, Zhi, Jin, Sui, and Mongolia, a total of nine provinces, plus a few small territories in northern Shaanxi, eastern Longdong, northern Shandong, and Beijing.A total of one-third of the world, and a few points, all factions have to be a little oily, this chairman is really... not easy to be!

"I'm afraid that the behavior of the Feng faction this time is not just to get a share of the pie? They may want to expand their voice in the coalition government by competing for the leadership of the North China Anti-Japanese War, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the coalition government." Liu Shaoqi Tapping on the table lightly, he began to analyze the true purpose of the Feng Department:

"I'm afraid they have long regarded Zhili, Beijing, and Tianjin as their own private property, and they don't want us to get involved? This time they came forward to form this so-called 'alliance' and asked us to join in, isn't it just to restrict Our actions in the Zhili Plain? Maybe we have to find an opportunity to transfer us away? None of these warlords can be relied on, and they only think of self-interest. Where is there a country? Is there a nation? For this feudal warlord, what should our party do? When you are tough, you must not be soft, and you must fight them to the end!"

Mao Zedong nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Shaoqi's analysis.He also understood in his heart that this time the CCP used the pretext of the Zhili War of Resistance to mobilize the army around Beijing, which has already made the Feng Faction feel scared.That's why there is now a move to guide the Kuomintang, but the current situation between the Kuomintang and the Feng faction is even more incompatible.Over the years, the Kuomintang has only one method against other warlord forces, and that is annexation!If the Feng family defected to the Kuomintang, the fate would be no exception. They would definitely be completely wiped out by the Kuomintang.I'm afraid that this kind of life is something that Zhang Dashuai, who has already tasted the taste of power, would rather die than live it?What's more, there are tens of thousands of military officers and bureaucrats in the Feng family. Is the Kuomintang's arrangement for them more acceptable?However, if the Feng faction wants to maintain a separatist regime and dominate the situation, the only way is to cooperate with the CCP, so there should be no problem for the CCP to make progress at present, but... the CCP can allow them to continue to dominate like this ?

Zhou Enlai frowned slightly.This coalition government should seek common ground while reserving differences and understand each other.Right now, the CCP has already taken advantage of it. Not only has it obtained a large amount of materials and equipment, but it has also expanded its power to the Zhili Plain.It is normal for the Feng family to feel threatened.Under such circumstances, the CCP should properly demonstrate its sincerity in maintaining unity and make some concessions on the territory issue in exchange for the coalition government to truly evolve into one government instead of becoming a second central government in name only...

……

Beijing Shuncheng Palace, the headquarters of the newly established "North China Anti-Japanese Coalition Army" led by Feng Jun.

The scene here is completely opposite to the tense and busy atmosphere that people imagined.

The inside and outside of the palace was peaceful and peaceful. There were no antennas erected high up, and there were no staff officers who shuttled back and forth to deliver various information and orders.It's just that at the entrance of the back garden of the palace, there are two guards with short guns standing still, and no one else is allowed to enter.

In the garden, Zhang Zuolin, Marshal of the Feng Dynasty, was standing by the lotus pond with his hands behind his back, looking at the spring scenery all over the garden, but he was frowning, with a gloomy expression on his face.Standing behind him is none other than the just-appointed Chief Adviser of Fengjun, Chief Adviser Doihara Kenji!A senior officer in active service in the Japanese army appeared majestically in the headquarters of the "North China Anti-Japanese Allied Forces", and stood behind the commander-in-chief Zhang Zuolin!How can this keep old general Zhang from frowning?

The Fengjun, that is, the Northeast Army in another time and space, is of course patriotic!It is anti-Japanese!There is no doubt that this has already been concluded... But it is an irrefutable historical fact that the Japanese paid money, guns, consultants, and even directly sent troops to help the Feng Faction fight!In another time and space, in order to prevent the traitorous Kuomintang authorities from attacking the patriotic Marshal Zhang by force, the Japanese sent troops to Shandong to directly attack the Kuomintang Northern Expedition.Is all this the stupidity and ignorance of the Japanese?Is it like sending consultants to help Feng Faction fight against Japan this time?

Kenji Doihara was wearing a Chinese-style robe, standing quietly behind Zhang Zuolin, with a faint smile on his face, and a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. But it was gloomy and cold eyes.It's like looking at a dead person!In the eyes of some people, Zhang Zuolin may be a "patriot", but in the eyes of the Japanese, he is a puppet!It's just that I'm not very obedient, maybe I feel that my wings are hard and I want to get rid of Japan's control?Is such a puppet still necessary?

"Marshal Zhang, this unfortunate war is coming to an end soon, and the negotiations between the two countries are ongoing. Now that the CCP has sent representatives to participate in the peace talks, is the Fengjun side planning to stay out of it?" Kenji Doihara He speaks very fluent Beijing movies, and his tone is calm and gentle.

Zhang Zuolin turned around slowly, looked at Kenji Doihara, who had changed into a Japanese-style modest smile at some point, and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Doihara, I don't know what demands our Fengjun should make in the peace talks. ?”

Kenji Doihara nodded stiffly: "Manchuria is the foundation of Fengjun. It must maintain a high degree of independence and some special systems. My idea is... Manchuria should exist as a special free trade zone, Implement low tariffs and low taxes to facilitate businessmen from various countries to come to trade. At the same time...the Red Army of the CCP must not be allowed to exist in Manchuria! We must take this opportunity to completely expel the Red Army of the CCP from Manchuria. "

These two conditions are the bottom line set by the Japanese side after repeated studies and consultations.After this almost defeated war, Japan's interests in China have once again shrunk significantly.Needless to say, the Japanese business enterprises in the "National Control Area". During the war, those Japanese businessmen were detained by the Kuomintang military and police, and their properties were temporarily frozen... Although war was not officially declared, it was a fight after all. These people It should be locked up as an "enemy overseas Chinese"!Now that the war has been defeated, these "enemy overseas Chinese" are naturally deported. Naturally, all "enemy property" was confiscated, and after the auction, it was used to compensate the commercial enterprises of all friendly countries that suffered losses in the Shandong War.

Outside the Kuomintang-controlled area, the Soviet area naturally has no Japanese interests, and there are almost no Japanese businessmen and expatriates in the northwest controlled by the Youth Army.However, in Zhili, Shanxi, Chahar, Beijing and other places, under the growing anti-Japanese sentiment, there are no traces of Japanese products. A large number of Japanese business enterprises are either empty or their doors are closed!The last remaining, that is, the four provinces of Manchuria are still dominated by Japanese goods and Japanese businessmen.But it is also very sluggish... This is not all because of the war, but because of the failure of the North Korean bank to speculate in public debt in Shanghai, it is almost on the verge of bankruptcy now.The banknotes it issued are almost useless, and a large number of banks and banks in Northeast China have closed down. The financial crisis is not over yet!

Zhang Zuolin nodded and forced a smile: "I will definitely raise these two conditions in the negotiations with the CCP, but...the CCP may not be willing to withdraw from Manchuria."

Kenji Doihara gave Zhang Zuolin a cold look: "Feng Jun can make some concessions in other places, for example, Chahar can be given to Feng Yuxiang's National Army. This also solves a difficult problem for the CCP, and they must be willing to make concessions." .In addition, Fengjun should firmly control Tianjin, the cash cow, and must not let it fall into the hands of the CCP.”

Zhang Zuolin smiled: "Naturally, Tianjin is our territory under the Feng Faction, so of course it cannot be controlled by the CCP."

"Including Tianjin Customs and the fort to be built at Dagukou in the future must be in the hands of the Fengjun!" Kenji Doihara then put forward new requirements.

"This..." Zhang Zuolin nodded noncommittally.For the past two days, Yang Yuting has been negotiating with the CCP on the organization of a coalition government.Controlling the customs and building a coastal defense fortress at Dagukou in Tianjin seems to be an interest that the CCP is trying to win.However, what Zhang Zuolin was interested in was a real territory, so in this regard, he had already decided to give in.As long as the CCP can withdraw its main force from Zhili, the management of the customs can be handed over to the CCP, and the CCP’s senior officials can get a little bit of money from it... Those senior officials all look like paupers.

……

At the time when China and Japan were fighting fiercely on the battlefield in Shandong, Mongolia also had a "referendum" that had already been doomed.The topic of this "referendum" is whether Mongolia will remain within the territory of the Republic of China!All 38 Mongolian local residents who have reached the age of 150 and are not mentally ill or have been deprived of citizenship due to violation of the law have the right to use their sacred vote to determine the ownership of this [-] million square kilometers of land!

This matter sounds uncertain, but all Chinese people, including President Sun Yat-sen of the Republic of China, have no worries about the result of this "referendum".As for Stalin, who was far away in the Soviet Union, he had no illusions about the Mongolian referendum!In fact, if there were no "brutal rule" by the Soviets and the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in the past few years.The Mongolian compatriots on this plateau may really have an independent mind.It's just that during the past few years of "independence", life has been really miserable... Even becoming a lama to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha is actually a sin of going to jail!You must know that in the history of another time and space, the Mongols really launched a riot in [-] trying to return to China!At that time, the unpopularity of the Soviets and the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party was evident.

In addition to the negative teaching materials of the Soviet Union and the People's Revolutionary Party, there are two decisive factors that make this referendum no suspense.

The first factor is naturally the Battle of Shandong from the end of March to mid-April, in which [-] Japanese troops were wiped out.At that time, there were more than [-] people from the second, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Japanese army, wearing tattered military uniforms, dragging broken guns, and the photos of them walking into Tianjin City dejectedly were sent to the Kremlin.Stalin counted with his fingers, and the most important unfavorable factor that interfered with the referendum in Mongolia was completely eliminated...

The second factor is also very important, that is, the little Tibetan boy who is playing with the plump and tender little Zhengtai Luo Qingyang in Luo Yao's country at the moment.His name is Lobsang Chokyi, and he also comes from a noble family in Tibet. He is a cousin of Maggie Dorje, a Tibetan student who graduated from the Whampoa first class.But now this naughty little guy still has a name - Jebtsundamba!The supreme saint, the highest religious leader and spiritual leader in the hearts of the people of Outer Mongolia is almost equivalent to the status of Allah Allahhu in Muslim countries!Now that such a supreme being lives in Luo Yaoguo's beilu, plays with Xiao Qingyang, and may even grow up together, do the Mongolian people still have a choice?

Luo Yaoguo stood on the balcony on the second floor of Beilu, looking at Xiaobei's mother and son playing on the lawn, and... that little guy who is theoretically a fairy!Standing respectfully behind him were two men in traditional Tibetan costumes, one of whom was Luo Yaoguo's good student Maggie Dorje.Another short, fat, but graceful middle-aged man is Maggie Dorji's aristocratic father, Maggie Renji.

"This child is very cute, I like it very much, let him be my adopted son." Luo Yaoguo ordered.

"Then I will thank the assistant commander for my sister." Maggie Renci bent down slightly and said with a smile on his face: "When the next Dalai Lama is selected, let him be your adopted son."

Luo Yaoguo smiled and nodded: "Brother Renci, I heard that the thirteenth Dalai Lama is a heroic figure, are you sure you can deal with it? Or wait a few more years, maybe he will pass away by himself?"

Maggie Dorje shook his head and sighed: "When we left Lhasa, the Buddha was already sick. There are no good doctors in Tibet. They are just witch doctors who can heal minor illnesses into serious ones. It's just... Once Lama Lai passes away, the power will immediately be transferred to Rezhenlin Rinpoche in the hands of regents. Our troubles will only be greater, so we might as well take advantage of the Buddha's long illness and unable to govern..."

Chapter 0451 rushing for the exam (nine) picking peaches

"So, you are ready?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at his good student Maggie.I saw that his breathing was a little short, and there was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.Luo Yaoguo was a little taken aback.It looks like another person who is about to lose his heart by power!

"Okay! Everything is ready..." Maggie Dorji's tone trembled slightly: "We have already bought a group of Tibetan army officers who are dissatisfied with Buddha. As soon as General Liu Ziqian's army approaches Qamdo, Buddha will definitely order The Tibetan army went to the Qamdo area to set up defenses. At that time... we will launch a mutiny and return to Lhasa to control the Potala Palace. At the same time, we will send assassins to kill Rezhen Rinpoche and let Danjilin Rinpoche be the regent to preside over the overall situation. My father will be the chief Glenn, the student is the commander-in-chief of the Tibetan Army."

"Oh, then Tibet will be your Maggie's family." Luo Yaoguo just gave Maggie Dorji a cold look.

"No, no... Everything is up to the teacher. Tibet will always be a part of China. When the new Dalai Lama is elected, we will send him to you immediately." Maggie Dorje was swept away by Luo Yaoguo's cold eyes After a while, I shivered unconsciously, and hurriedly confessed.

"Hehe..." Luo Yaoguo just sneered: "It doesn't matter that Tibet is the world of your Maggie family, I trust you. At that time, I will order Liu Wenhui to station the main force in Qamdo, send a regiment to Yadong, and a regiment to Ali There will be no troops stationed in other places, just let your Maggie family manage it. From now on, the Han system will be implemented in the east of Qamdo, and the west of Qamdo will continue as before. Liu Wenhui is not allowed to interfere in civil affairs, what do you think?"

Just a few words, the land as big as Tibet, and the millions of serfs living on it, were all promised to Maggie Renci and Maggie Dorji, a father and son who seemed to be a bit of a hero.Luo Yaoguo didn't bother to think about how the father and son would manage this territory and treat their fellow clansmen.As for promoting social progress in Tibet, emancipating millions of serfs and so on...then wait until the [-]th Dalai Lama grows up and takes charge.Luo Yaoguo just brought the [-]th Dalai Lama to Wuhan and brought him up in his own home.

Maybe it was because the happiness came so suddenly, Maggie and his son were stunned for a while before both of them realized it.Quickly leaning over to salute, he was so respectful that he didn't even dare to look at Luo Yaoguo, for fear that this "assistant commander" who controlled the prosperity and wealth of their family would take Tibet back if he got upset.

……

Beijing, No. Iron Lion Alley, Central Government Army Department.

"Brother Yuting, Mr. Zhou. We Chinese people always have to be decent in our affairs, our own dignity, and the country's dignity. We must not let the big powers in the world laugh at us, right? For example, let's talk about the peace talks with Japan this time. My family should always have the same caliber, so that we can negotiate with Little Japan? And why do you and the Communist Party...cannot argue over a trivial matter? The envoys of Britain, France and the United States have already said that if it is because of us As a result, the peace talks cannot be held as scheduled, and they will lift the sanctions against Japan. At that time, both of you will be unable to step down!"

It was Wu Peifu who said this.These days, the "peace talks" between the CCP and the Feng faction have made no progress. The two sides have been arguing endlessly over issues such as territory, customs, and the Northeast Free Trade Zone, without giving an inch.As a result, the peace talks with Japan were delayed again and again... Finally, Britain, the United States and France, who came forward to mediate, approached Prime Minister Zeng Qi and put pressure on him.Zeng Qi had no choice but to ask Wu Peifu, an "old man", to come forward and set up a "hetou wine" in the Ministry of War.We invited Zhang Zuolin, the head of the Feng Dynasty, and Zhou Enlai, the de facto head of the CCP, to sit down and have a good talk.

"Yes, yes. We are all Chinese, how can we hurt our friendship for a little profit?" Yang Yongtai also received the invitation without knowing what happened, and now he accepted it with a smile on his face. Huayu:

"Mr. Zhou, let me see... this time the power of your party has expanded enough. Shandong has taken 34 counties north of the Yellow River, and now Zhang Yushuai is willing to take Chahar out to resettle Feng Huanzhang. Who does Feng Huanzhang now belong to?" People, we all know it in our hearts. So your Red Army should withdraw from Zhili and Manchuria. Beijing is still under the joint management of Wu Yushuai's Third Division, Fengjun and the Red Army. The thousands of people from the Kuomintang will all withdraw Go, give up the seat to your party, will this work for the head office?"

"What?" Zhou Enlai was taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at Yang Yongtai, who was fat, white and smiling.Heart said: "It seems that Sun Yat-sen will not return to Beijing again. In this way, the status of Beijing will inevitably decline, and Wuhan will have the status of the second capital... Maybe the next step is to merge the central government and the national government. ?”

Zhang Zuolin stroked his beard: "I didn't have a white beard before I came to Beijing. It's only been a few years... I'm already an old man with white beard and hair. I don't know how many years I have left to live. I really can't figure it out." , Why did your Communist Party sharpen your head to get into this trap? Forget it... Our Fengjun also withdrew from Beijing and gave up the [-] garrison quota to your Communist Party. Duan Zhi Lao has no soldiers or generals now, I decide Give you the quota from the Anhui Department, plus the quota from the Kuomintang. Your Red Army has [-] troops stationed in Beijing, and Wu Yushuai's third division also has [-]. The rest of the Red Army will withdraw from Zhili. Mr. Zhou, can you see if it works? ?”

Zhou Enlai raised his eyebrows, the main force of the Red Army withdrew from Zhili, and Beijing was jointly administered by the Red Army and Wu Peifu's army.This is within the acceptable range of the CCP.Besides, the 10,000+ Red Army can't stay in Zhili all the time. Among other things, the Kuomintang army in the south and the youth army in the west are not very friendly!Who knows when the call will come.As for the more than 1 Red Army troops of Zhang Guotao and Ye Ting in the Northeast, the cats had nothing to eat or drink in Daxing'anling, and the conflict between the two of them was also serious... Let's just go back.Thinking of this, Zhou Enlai did not continue to entangle on this issue: "Okay, our party will take a step back, and the Red Army in Zhili will withdraw except for 2 people."

"Good! Good! Good... That's right. How can we Chinese not step down because of such a trivial matter?" Wu Peifu was overjoyed when he heard that. His last bit of capital, the 2-person Third Division Finally have a small piece of land.

"Brother Enlai, the matter of the garrison has been settled, and now it's time to talk about customs." Zeng Qi approached Zhou Enlai with a smiling face.

There are two main aspects of the customs affairs, one is the Northeast Free Trade Zone.I don't know how this term came up?In short, Zhang Zuolin proposed such a thing.In addition, several provinces within the customs have set up an independent customs area, which is jointly managed by the CCP, Yan Xishan, and the Feng Clan. At the same time, all customs revenue is at the disposal of the coalition government.In addition, the salt tax of each province within the jurisdiction of the coalition government must also be turned over.These two revenues form the main source of finance for the coalition government.However, the land tax, commercial tax, and lijin in various places are "self-supporting".

However, according to this plan, the four northeastern provinces will still implement ultra-low tariffs, and the tax revenue will not go to the coalition government... In this way, the fiscal revenue of the coalition government will be reduced by more than half, and the market in the north will also shrink. many.It is also very detrimental to the CCP's economic construction and the development of heavy industry, so Zhou Enlai refused to let go.

"Brother Enlai, everyone knows what our various factions are planning right now, and I won't pick it out." Zeng Qi gently turned the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a while, and then said: "To be fair, Yu The handsome Feng family is also in a dilemma! The depth and influence of the Japanese in the Northeast is unimaginable if you have not experienced it yourself. If this happens, we insist on taking back the customs independence of the Northeast... I am afraid that the Japanese will tear their faces They fought with us to the end. When the time comes, do you want to ask them to send troops again? Who will belong to the Northeast? If the meat gets into the wolf's mouth, will it still spit out?"
