Republic of China game

Deng Yanda immediately sneered again: "What is our relationship with the Kuomintang reactionaries in the south now? As the secretary-general of the Ministry of War, Bai Jianwu actually accepted their secret subsidy and acted as their internal support. Such people are not strictly dealt with. Our Central Committee How can the government fight against others?"

After finishing speaking, Deng Yanda pushed the door out unceremoniously, leaving Wu Peifu alone in the meeting room.

A few days after Wu Peifu "has made a fuss about the task force", rumors that "Wu Yushuai participated in the murder of President Zhang Da" spread in and around Beijing almost overnight.Even the big and small newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin have published various versions of the rumors.

And he said with certainty that Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin had a deep grievance, and that Wu Peifu's direct lineage was taken by Zhang Zuolin.Therefore, the two have a sworn hatred!Whenever Wu Peifu mentions Zhang Zuolin in private, he can't help but grit his teeth and say something like "I swear to kill him".

In addition, some newspapers pointed out that after the peaceful reunification of the northern factions, Zhang Zuolin intended to serve as the Minister of the Army to Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.But Wu Peifu refused to abdicate... In short, during Zhang Zuolin's lifetime, the relationship between Zhang and Wu was extremely bad, and both of them regarded each other as a thorn in their side.So it is not surprising that Wu Peifu used the hands of the Japanese to get rid of Zhang Zuolin.

Finally, newspapers broke the news that Wu Peifu seemed to be in collusion with the southern Kuomintang reactionaries, and that Bai Jianwu, secretary-general of Wu Peifu's confidant, had long received subsidies from the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau.And Wu Peifu's No.15 Route Army is very likely to act as an internal support during the Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang Rightists, and it is really inappropriate to stay in Beijing.

But when public opinion in the north pointed Wu Peifu as the culprit of the conspiracy to assassinate Zhang, the CCP’s "Red Star News" published a speech by CCP leader Zhou Enlai on the front page to defend Wu Peifu:

"According to the current investigation, it is true that some people in the Ministry of Army participated in the murder of President Zhang Da, but these people did not include General Wu Ziyu, the chief of the army, but some of his subordinate staff. And these people are not the culprits, but It is just an internal traitor bought by hostile forces. Both our party and President Mao firmly believe that Yu Shuai is a man and will never participate in any conspiracy, and also believe that he had no knowledge of the assassination of Huanggutun before."

But the only answer to the CCP's kindness was Wu Peifu's sneer.

"Hmph! Playing this kind of trick with me... Zhang Zuolin might be the one who killed him!"

"Yushuai, he is very powerful at the moment, why don't you just borrow the donkey from the slope." The one who persuaded was the Minister of the Navy, Sa Zhenbing. The old man is still serving as the Minister of the Navy of the Beijing government, and Wu Peifu, the Minister of the Army, is in the same compound. Office: "Now the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China has been transferred to and from Beijing, and Feng Yuxiang's Third Route Army has also been transferred to the western suburbs of Beijing... You are now enjoying the glory of retreating. If you continue to delay, it will really tear you apart. It's a shame!"

Wu Peifu walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back: "It's no problem for me to retreat, but the more than 2 brothers of the [-]th Route Army have followed me for many years..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Sa Zhenbing's face: "Then how about letting the [-]th Route Army go out of customs and join the Feng Department? I heard that Yu Xiaohou (Yu Xuezhong) has a close relationship with Zhang Hanqing, so he will definitely not treat him badly." .”

Chapter 0467 project (two)

People from various factions in Beijing are busy working on the "Assassination Project of Zhang Zuolin".On Fengtian's side, after Zhang Xueliang took over the military and political power of the Feng family, everything was calm.The Zhang family was busy organizing the funeral for the late President Zhang Da, and all factions and families also sent representatives to Fengtian to attend the funeral.The delegation sent by the Kuomintang Central Committee in Wuhan was led by Zhang Xueliang's brother Chiang Kai-shek, with Yang Yongtai, Sheng Shicai, He Chengjun and others as his entourage.

But the Japanese didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, and after killing Zhang Zuolin, they fell silent.It did not launch an incident to seize the Northeast as everyone expected, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the "anti-Russia, anti-Japanese electrification" issued by the Kuomintang Central Committee?I probably understood a truth. As long as there is no civil war in China right now, Japan alone has no hope of capturing the Northeast.The Kwantung Army, which was sharpening their knives before, has also become extremely quiet these two days. They probably hid in the barracks and prayed to Auntie Amaterasu. It would be better to let the Chinese civil war break out earlier, right?

For the arrival of "Brother Jieshi", Zhang Xueliang is naturally extremely enthusiastic.Right now, Zhang Xueliang has not lost the Northeast, nor has he turned against Lao Jiang because of the suppression of the Communist Party. The two of them just wanted to wear a pair of trousers.After Chiang Kai-shek pretended to pay respects in front of General Zhang's coffin, he was invited by Zhang Xueliang to the flower hall in the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion, where Zhang Xueliang had already prepared a casual banquet.

There were no outsiders at the banquet, besides Zhang Xueliang, there was Guo Songling, who was the general councilor of the Feng faction, and Yang Yuting was sent to be the doomed governor of Zhili.On the other side of Lao Jiang are Yang Yongtai and Sheng Shicai. Sheng Shicai can be regarded as the representative of Luo Yaoguo, but at the same time he is also Guo Songling's "son-in-law", so he can be regarded as his own.In addition, Mrs. Jiang's wife Song Meiling and Mrs. Zhang Xueliang's wife Yu Fengzhi, they are almost a family, right?

After drinking for three rounds and exchanging pleasantries, Chiang Kai-shek put on a serious face and started to talk about business: "Brother Hanqing, the Japanese army in the Northeast is not doing anything unusual right now?"

Zhang Xueliang frowned slightly, and a look of gloom flashed across his face: "Hmph, these guys have harmed my father, I am at odds with them, and I am looking for a chance to avenge my hatred! If there is anything abnormal about them, I will do it right now. Kwantung Prefecture and Manchurian Railway will all be taken back!"

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "With Fengjun's strength against the Japanese army, there is no certainty of victory, right? But our National Revolutionary Army is blocked by the CCP, and I am afraid that there is no way to go north. According to Brother Yu, now is not the time for revenge. Brother, I still have to bear with it for a while, and wait until the National Revolutionary Army Navy develops, and then take revenge for killing my father!"

"If the Fengjun and Japan go to war, it will be a national war. Now that the CCP is bearing the name of the central government, it shouldn't block the way of the National Revolutionary Army going north, right?" topic.

Yang Yongtai beside Lao Jiang also sipped his wine and smiled bitterly: "To put it bluntly, China in the future will not be ruled by the National Government, but by the Communist Party. For this world, heroes from ancient times to the present do not know how to do anything. How many unsightly things have come out... How can the Communist Party be an exception? Right now, our National Revolutionary Army can only use 21 divisions, and the five provinces in our territory, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, all have long The coastline needs to be defended, and almost [-]% of the troops are restrained. The remaining only six divisions of mobile troops, if all of them are sent to the northeast... the Yellow River defense line will be wide open. The Communist Party only needs to send a brigade The elite can go straight to attack Wuhan, and at the same time cut off the logistics lines of the six divisions sent to the Northeast. At that time, half of our country will not say that it will change hands, at least it will be a serious injury. General Maochen, how can we rest assured? What about boldly going north to aid Feng?"

Both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang nodded lightly, but Guo Songling just sighed deeply: "In the final analysis, the country is not unified, and our own people are on guard against our own people, but let outsiders take advantage of it, and dare not take back the sovereignty. What a bastard. If It’s good that the Prime Minister is here…”

"So what if the former Prime Minister is still alive?" Chiang Kai-shek sneered and waved his hands: "Didn't the CCP keep making trouble for us when the old man was around? It's a pity that the former Prime Minister always had hope for them, thinking that one day they could see the true face of the Soviet Union clearly and repent. Who would have thought that before the former Prime Minister's body was cold, they would take actions to instigate our party comrades to split Yes! Even Mrs. Sun was confused by them... It really made us at a loss! It seems that we and the Communist Party will inevitably meet each other on the battlefield."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone at the banquet changed drastically.Chiang Kai-shek didn't wait for Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling to react, and immediately asked: "My dear brother Han Qing, if when we go to war with the Communist Party, how will your Fengshi prepare?"

"It's never a good thing to fight in the same room... Our Fengjun is determined to stay out of the matter, just to protect the country's sovereignty in the Northeast." The answer to this question was Guo Songling. After leaving the customs, I will never enter Shanhaiguan again. Therefore, I cannot participate in the dispute between your party and the Communist Party. I only hope that Jie Gong will forgive me."

A trace of surprise flashed across Chiang Kai-shek's face, and he half-turned his body and smiled slightly at Zhang Xueliang: "Is this also what my virtuous brother means?"

Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Exactly."

Chiang Kai-shek slapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's very good. But brother Yu still wants to remind my virtuous brother that since the Fengjun has decided to retreat outside the pass, it is better to avoid dealing with the Communist Party in the future, lest they infiltrate your army. ... the same as those leftist comrades in my party who were deluded by the Communist Party."

……

At this time, in the East Lake of Wuhan, Luo Yaoguo's mansion, Beilu, also held a casual banquet.The host was "Guest Qing" Zeng Qi who had just joined Luo Yaoguo!Before he left Beijing, he left a piece of resignation in the office of the Prime Minister.This person is not the prime minister, but came to Luo Yaoguo to be a diner!It was eye-popping.

"Hahaha...how can the prime minister of the Beijing central government be free here?" Probably seeing Luo Yaoguo's doubts, Zeng Qi stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "I and those people from the Communist Party were old acquaintances when we were in Europe. , and we Youth Party members are very clear about the Communist Party's tricks. If I don't know how to leave, I will lose my old life in the future. Didn't Brother Fuwen see it? The Communist Party these two days Already sharpening the knife!"

Luo Yaoguo took a sip of his wine and shook his head lightly: "Could it be that you mean the special investigation of Zhang Zuolin's assassination?"

Zeng Qi smiled deeply: "That's right! This is just the beginning, and there are still many people who will suffer in the future. They are under the dictatorship of the proletariat, and people like us are the targets of their dictatorship!"

"Isn't it?" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly: "Your youth army can have 20 troops in the northwest! The Communist Party probably won't touch you."

Zeng Qi took a sip of his wine and sneered: "With Wang Junhao here, I can't stay in Beijing. This guy won't think about my life or death! He really wants to rebel, so why don't I stay in Beijing? Has the National People's Congress cut eight pieces?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded: "Brother Muhan, why don't you go to the Northwest? You are the leader of the Youth Party, and Wang Junhao is the commander-in-chief of the Youth Army. Don't you just work together?"

Zeng Qi swallowed the contents of the cup with a wry smile, and sighed: "I still understand the truth that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Everyone in our youth party can go to the northwest to find a job, but I can't go to the party class." And the only place I can go is in Luo Fuwen's screen, with you as a big tree, Wang Junhao will not use his brains."

Luo Yaoguo was slightly startled when he heard the words, and after a long silence, he nodded his head: "Brother Mu Han is right, political struggles are sometimes disapproved by relatives. Wang Junhao's methods are also a bit harsher, I will persuade him when I have a chance in the future. "

Zeng Qi smiled indifferently, and waved his hands: "Brother Fuwen's words are wrong. If there are no two ruthless people, Wang Junhao and Wang Zhongyi, in the back and forth of the Communist Party, you will still be so stable here? With your gentle methods, how can you Possibly against the Communist Party alone?"

Luo Yaoguo was silent.He is indeed not the kind of man with a strong hand who can do everything. After all, the social environment in which he grew up can no longer produce people who are "made of special materials" like dictators.He's just a little darker...

Zeng Qi seemed to have drank a few more cups, his black face was glowing red, and he was less restrained when he spoke: "This time Liao Zhongkai's assassination case, what a great opportunity! You are the chief of staff Chief, most of the Whampoa Department are your students, and the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wang Junhao and Wang Zhongyi are also your strong support. If you use the Liao case as a breakthrough, come to a special case to squeeze Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi, you will It should be easy for the five big bosses to become your uncles and nephews and Chiang Kai-shek's three big bosses, right? If you are more ruthless and drive Chiang Kai-shek away, and then pull Sun Ke, Wang Jingwei, Zou Lu and others into the presidium, the Kuomintang and half of the south will still be Isn't it the world of your Luo family?"

"...The above things, in order to maintain the unity of the Kuomintang, it's fine if you don't do it. But why don't you use the Liao case as an opportunity to eradicate those leftist comrades who failed to succeed and failed? Wuhan is your world. Immediately arrested Liao Zhongkai and Li Jishen, put them on the charge of stabbing Liao and pulled them down. How about you, let them go back to the mountains one by one, all went to Beijing, and set up a Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee to disgust people. Hehe... ...It's really kind! If I don't come, what will you do, Brother Fuwen?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled wryly: "They are all followers of the Prime Minister. How can it be acceptable to drive them out before the Prime Minister's body is cold?"

Zeng Qi sneered: "The Communist Party is smarter than you, and now it has easily driven Wu Peifu away, and the [-]th Route Army has also been driven out of Beijing. Just watch, it won't take long, Feng Yuxiang's Third Army will also be transformed into the 'Red Army'. The next step should be to expel Yang Yuting, control Zhili, and then deal with it... Probably either Yan Xishan or your brother Wang Zhongyi."

"Brother Zhongyi?" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly became serious. The wine glass in his hand was slightly turned, as if he was thinking about something: "He is in an alliance with Wang Junhao, and there are 25 troops. The CCP may not be able to eat it Let’s move them? Besides, the Chinese Communist Party’s forces are also restrained by us.”

A trace of excitement flashed across Zeng Qi's face, he nodded in praise and said, "Well, the two of them did the right thing, if we can add Yan Baichuan to this alliance, we will be safe."

"Yan Baichuan?" Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows, thinking, "Maybe this Zeng Qi has collusion with Yan Laoxi?"

Zeng Qi smiled lightly, and analyzed with his fingers: "I guess Yan Baichuan should feel pressure after the CCP takes care of Feng Huanzhang and Zhili. His Shanxi will be surrounded by the CCP's forces on three sides by then. The strength of his Second Army is probably not enough. The only way out is to unite with Wang Junhao and Wang Zhongyi to encircle the CCP’s Suiyuan and northern Shaanxi. If we rely on the Kuomintang in Henan, we will not be afraid.”

……

On this night, there was also a talk in Shuangqing Villa in Xiangshan, Beijing.

In the living room of Zhou Enlai's residence, there were several cups of tea, with lingering and changing aromas.The weather in Beijing in May of this year was already a bit sweltering. Zhou Enlai was wearing a snow-white shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, and was sitting leisurely in a rattan chair.Sitting opposite him were the two chief and deputy leaders of the "special case team", Deng Yanda and Gu Shunzhang, both of whom were also dressed in casual shirts, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

During this period of time, the investigation into the assassination of Zhang Zuolin was carried out very smoothly, and many villains in the Beijing central government who had "colluded" with the Japanese or the right wing of the Kuomintang were dug out.The city of Beijing was completely returned to the hands of the people due to the transfer of Yu Xuezhong's No.15 Route Army.

"Comrade Zesheng, after the completion of this special project, the central government also intends to organize a general staff. You are the only chief of staff here, so please don't refuse." Zhou Enlai said solemnly. Sincerely, it seems that he really wants Deng Yanda to be the chief of staff of the central government.

A hint of surprise flashed across Deng Yanda's face, but he returned to normal in a blink of an eye. He shook his head slightly, and said with a sincere expression: "Comrade Enlai, the position of chief of staff is really a heavy responsibility. I, Deng Yanda, have limited talents and knowledge, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the important task! "

Zhou Enlai smiled slightly and looked at Deng Yanda peacefully: "This decision was made by our Party Central Committee after repeated discussions. We believe that the only person who is qualified for this position is you, General Deng Zesheng. In fact, one of the founders of our revolutionary army is You Deng Zesheng! Wasn’t you the commander of the Northwest New Army, the predecessor of the Red Army? Comrade Zhu De, the commander-in-chief of our Fourth Army, was your subordinate at the time. If you don’t come, the chief of staff, who will come?”

Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Deng Yanda couldn't refuse anymore. He slapped his feet and gave Zhou Enlai a military salute: "Comrade General Political Commissar, then I will be your subordinate from now on. Please give me instructions if you have any tasks."

Zhou Enlai's face darkened slightly, and his tone became serious: "Our biggest problem now is the disunity of the military and the government. The central government's orders are only in Beijing, Suiyuan, northern Shaanxi, northern Shandong, and eastern Longdong. Sufficient efficiency. Chahar and Zhili are still a little bit effective... other sites are no different from waste paper."

Deng Yanda was startled when he heard the words, and his face immediately darkened: "These warlords are really abominable. They not only colluded with the Kuomintang and the Japanese, but also murdered the president. Now they want to support their own self-respect. In my opinion, they need to beat them hard. Just do it."
