For Jiang Weiguo's warm invitation, Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong naturally readily agreed. The two of them had a good friendship with Jiang Weiguo. They had cooperated in the Pingjin Battle, and they both had a good impression of Jiang Weiguo.

After arriving with the troops, Zhang Zizhong specially recommended a person to Jiang Weiguo, hoping that Jiang Weiguo could also take him in. This person was Pang Bingxun who had fought side by side with Zhang Zizhong in the Xuzhou Battle.

Pang Bingxun is currently the head of the 3rd Army Corps, which actually has one army (40th Army) under its jurisdiction, and this army actually has one division (39th Division). Although Pang Bingxun made a lot of contributions in the War of Resistance, However, because of his "bad background", his troops will be downsized during the national army reorganization. Zhang Zizhong feels sorry for Pang Bingxun and cannot bear his troops being dismissed, so he asks Jiang Weiguo to take Pang Bingxun in.

Jiang Weiguo agreed, accepted Pang Bingxun and his 39th Division, and also expanded the 39th Division into a three-brigade and nine-regiment system, which made Pang Bingxun very grateful.

After swallowing Song Zheyuan's troops, Jiang Weiguo swallowed part of Han Fuju's troops.

Han Fuju's army is currently divided into two. The elite 6 or 5 people were taken to southern Henan by Han Fuju.

Because Sun Tongxuan is decent, well-managed, loyal, patriotic, loyal and benevolent (the main force of the Lu army has five divisions, and Sun Tongxuan is one of the five division commanders. In the original history, after Han Fuju was trapped by Chiang Kai-shek, five of the Lu army The division commanders were all drawn in by Chiang Kai-shek, and the other four division commanders abandoned Han to Chiang Kai-shek. Although Sun Tongxuan did not oppose Chiang, he did not betray Han Fuju, and actively worked to rescue Han Fuju), and he also made contributions in the Xuzhou battle, so Chiang Kai-shek It is natural to give him awards. At the request of Jiang Weiguo, Chiang Kai-shek allowed Sun Tongxuan to reorganize the remnants of the Lu Army in his hands into the 20th Division. One, his division was the 20th Division).

After obtaining Sun Tongxuan's 20th Division, Jiang Weiguo recruited another division and a senior general. This senior general was none other than Fu Zuoyi, the number two figure in the Jinsui Army.

The original territories of the Jinsui Army were Shanxi Province and Suiyuan Province. Shanxi Province was firmly controlled by Yan Xishan, and Yan Xishan sent Fu Zuoyi to sit in Suiyuan Province. However, because Yan and Fu had long been at odds, Fu Zuoyi Has developed its own forces in Suiyuan Province, "Jin" and "Sui" have essentially separated.

Right now, Shanxi Province was annexed by Jiang Weiguo, and Suiyuan Province was occupied by the Japanese. Fu Zuoyi was "homeless", so it was a matter of course for him to be recruited by Jiang Weiguo.

Fu Zuoyi was the commander of the 7th Army at this time. The core force of this army was the 35th Army of Fu Zuoyi's direct line. It was downsized during the national army reorganization. 72 divisions.

At Jiang Weiguo's invitation, Fu Zuoyi and the 101st Division also joined the Nanjing Army.

截至到年底时,蒋纬国的南京军已经有11个师:第77、第88、第99、第100、第74、第17、第37、第38、第39、第20、第101师,其中,第100师是生化兵部队,其余10个师都是野战部队,第77、第88、第99、第74、第17师是一线部队,第37、第38、第39、第20、第101师是二线部队。

The 11 divisions are all three brigades and nine regiments. Each division has a strength of between 3 and 3.5. The total strength of the army is about 40, and they follow the route of elite soldiers.

Jiang Weiguo's Shandong and Jin provinces have a population of more than 5200 million. According to the internationally accepted "one hundred and one principle" (100 civilians support one soldier, such a ratio is not considered militaristic), the Lu and Jin provinces can support more than 1 troops. Jiang Weiguo's 50 troops are obviously lower than this figure, so it is more reasonable.

In addition to expanding the army, Jiang Weiguo also recruited many patriotic generals and hundreds of middle-level officers who were dedicated to serving the country into his Nanjing Army, such as the Little Northwest Army and the Northeast Army.

The Small Northwest Army was reorganized into 2 armies (4 divisions) after the Xi'an Incident, and it was completely disabled at this time. The designation of the 4th Division of the 17 divisions was obtained by Jiang Weiguo, and the other 3 divisions were all recovered by Chiang Kai-shek. Many patriotic officers in the Northwest Army were taken in by Jiang Weiguo; the Northeast Army was reorganized into six armies after the Xi'an Incident, and they were basically disabled at this time, and then were reduced again during the reorganization of the National Army. Many patriotic military officers were also taken in by Jiang Weiguo.

During the days when Jiang Weiguo was busy recruiting soldiers and reorganizing the army, several major events occurred in the country.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek has been dormant in Wuhan secretly, manipulating the military and political power behind the scenes, and at the same time secretly luring anti-Chiang elements to expose themselves. This trick of "leading the snake out of the hole" has achieved great results.

He Yingqin, who originally wanted to replace Chiang Kai-shek during the Xi'an Incident, became active again, but it is estimated that he has learned the lessons from the beginning, so it is not too obvious. The Minister of Military and Political Affairs was removed and Chen Cheng took over. As for He Yingqin, he was reassigned as the newly established Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Chiang Kai-shek himself, He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the army, is just a "senior messenger".

Because He Yingqin's faction has deep roots, and He Yingqin himself is indeed capable, Chiang Kai-shek cannot do without him at present, so Chiang Kai-shek did not uproot his power, but just launched a new attack on him.

Among the local factions, there are three active "representations".

The first is the Guangxi faction of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. Li Bai's Gui army did make great contributions during the Anti-Japanese War, but Li Bai did not work for Chiang Kai-shek. "In fact, they want to control Anhui Province and turn Anhui Province into a new territory of the Guangxi Clan, the "second Guangxi Province".

The most serious one is Han Fuju. Han Fuju conspired to unite Song Zheyuan and Liu Xiang, and the three parties worked together to "peace Japan and overthrow Chiang." This incident was secretly reported to Chiang Kai-shek, who betrayed Han Fuju and Liu Xiang), so Han Fuju pinned his hopes on Liu Xiang, and secretly contacted He Yingqin, hoping to carry out "cooperation from inside to outside".

In addition, Han Fuju also sent someone to contact Yan Xishan.

After the Sino-Japanese Armistice, Shanxi Province was annexed by Jiang Weiguo, which caused Yan Xishan to lose his hometown in Shanxi Province, which he had worked hard for 27 years. His army, the Jinsui Army, originally had 3 group armies, but the 7th Group Army (Suijun) went out independently. , The 13th Army was revoked its designation and establishment, leaving only the 6th Army.

According to Wuhan's order, Yan Xishan was forced to take the 6th Army to withdraw to the east of Henan for "rest and reorganization".

After learning what happened to Yan Xishan, Han Fuju was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to secretly contact Yan Xishan, inviting him to form the "Three-Party Alliance of Lu, Chuan and Shanxi" and together "defeat Chiang with the sun".

Jiang Weiguo is not very clear about this matter. After all, this matter is not aimed at him. He only saw the fierce methods of his old man. According to the information he knows and his speculation, it is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek did this. First, alone in the secret room He Yingqin met He Yingqin and let He Yingqin know that he was fine at all. He Yingqin was probably frightened when he saw the "ruddy and shiny" Chiang Kai-shek. A tool for settling accounts after autumn, he first assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the army, and then held a "high-level army meeting" in Wuhan, luring Han Fuju, Yan Xishan and others to attend the meeting.

Han Fuju believed that Chiang Kai-shek was "seriously injured and bedridden", and He Yingqin had to win over a local powerful figure like him if he wanted to replace Chiang Kai-shek. Shandong", which made Han Fuju fall into the trap after hesitating for a while.

The next thing is no suspense, Han Fuju was arrested at the meeting, half a month later was sentenced to "ten crimes" by the military court and shot.

After Han Fuju's death, most of his main subordinates had been recruited, so the Lu Army Group fell apart and ceased to exist.

Chiang Kai-shek killed Han Fuju, and Jiang Weiguo understood this. Han Fuju abandoned Shandong, and it is indeed hard to escape the blame. Moreover, Han Fuju also conspired to "peace Japan and overthrow Chiang." During the Xi'an Incident, Han Fuju supported Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. One of the two local powerful figures (the other is Liu Xiang) who advocated that Zhang Yang took the opportunity to kill Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek would not hate him unless he was a saint.

Yan Xishan, who was tricked to Wuhan along with Han Fuju, did not die like Han Fuju. After all, Yan Xishan did not make a "big mistake of principle".

For Yan Xishan, Chiang Kai-shek was "killing chickens to warn monkeys" and "carrots and sticks".

There are several main forces of the Central Army in Henan Province, so it is impossible for Yan Xishan to turn Henan Province into a second Shanxi Province. Chiang Kai-shek asked him to be the chairman of Henan Province. The Chinese Sixth Army has been infiltrated, weakened, and dismembered by the Central Army.

People are far from their hometowns, and the Jin army is naturally involuntary in Henan Province.

As for Liu Xiang, he did not follow in the footsteps of Han Fuju, but during his stay in Wuhan, Liu Xiang suddenly suffered from stomach problems and vomited blood. He will enjoy the state funeral treatment and be extremely honored.

"How did Liu Xiang die?" Jiang Weiguo sent Shu Guosheng to investigate out of curiosity and confusion.

Shu Guosheng quickly found out the result: "Liu Xiang was poisoned to death!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback.

"Dai Li did it. He bought Liu Xiang's personal doctor and personal chef with a lot of money, and put chronic poison in Liu Xiang's food, causing Liu Xiang to vomit blood from the poison, and finally died for no reason!" Shu Guosheng reported.

"My God!" Jiang Weiguo was shocked at first, and then filled with emotion.

Jiang Weiguo suddenly remembered that in the original history, Han Fuju was trapped on January 1938, 1 and executed on January 11, and Liu Xiang died on January 1, 24, at the age of 1938. It is the prime of life age group.

Jiang Weiguo discovered that the time of Han and Liu's death was "very coincidental", so coincidental that it was hard to believe that it was just a coincidence.

Jiang Weiguo originally respected Liu Xiang very much. There is no need to say more about the reasons. However, people are complicated after all. Liu Xiang is both patriotic and anti-Chiang. Warlords most want to keep their territory and power.

During the Xi’an Incident, Liu Xiang supported Zhang Yang and persuaded Zhang Yang to kill Chiang Kai-shek. It’s no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek didn’t hold a grudge. In addition, Liu Xiang once said, “If I want to do (anti-Chiang), I will poke a hole in the sky.” However, In the end, Liu Xiang did not do such a happy thing when the nation was in peril (maybe he was killed by Chiang Kai-shek before he could do it, it’s hard to say, random speculation would be blasphemy to the ancestors).

"Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was still humble!" Jiang Weiguo could only sigh in this way.

After eradicating Han Fuju, Yan Xishan, and Liu Xiang, Chiang Kai-shek strongly ordered the Gui army to return to Guangxi, and actively mobilized the Central Army.

In this regard, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had to obey orders honestly. The 11th and 21st Group Armies of the Gui Army, which originally planned to stay in Anhui and turn Anhui into a second Guangxi, left Anhui and withdrew to Guangxi. The 16th Army Group was also revoked its designation and establishment during the national army reorganization, and the strength of the Guangxi Clan was reduced to a certain extent.

After Chiang Kai-shek's bold and resolute actions, the anti-Chiang forces within the national army were hit hard again.

After one year and three months of the Sino-Japanese War, Song Zheyuan, Han Fuju, Yan Xishan, and Liu Xiang, the four major local warlords, no longer existed. Song Zheyuan's [-]th Route Army faction and Han Fuju's Lu army disappeared. The Jin-Sui Army faction in China has been in decline, and the Sichuan Army in Liu Xiang has been torn apart. At present, the local factions in the country are the Guangxi Army, the Yunnan Army, Liu Wenhui in Xikang Province, the Majia Army in the Northwest, Mongolia infiltrated by the Soviet Union and Japan, and Xinjiang supported by the Soviet Union. Tibet, infiltrated and semi-controlled by the British.

At the same time, within the Central Army, the He Yingqin faction was greatly weakened, the Chen Cheng faction was rising day by day, and the two small factions of Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo began to grow. Of course, among them, the most powerful, most influential, and most vigorously developed It is still Jiang Weiguo's "Prince Department".

Section 381 Construction and development (1)

Golden autumn in October, Taiyuan Airport.

Five transport planes, escorted by more than 30 fighter jets, landed slowly on the airport.

Jiang Weiguo stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face. Twenty or thirty young people came down from the three transport planes in front of him. The leader was Jiang Jingguo, Jiang Weiguo's elder brother.

"Weiguo!" After seeing Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Jingguo strode up and opened his arms far away.

"Brother!" Jiang Weiguo warmly responded to Jiang Jingguo's enthusiasm.

The two brothers embraced tightly, and Jiang Jingguo was so excited that tears filled his eyes: "Weiguo! Brother misses you so much!"

"Weiguo!" "Old eighth!" "Mynah!" Six of the young people who followed Jiang Jingguo also came up and hugged Jiang Weiguo one after another.

"Good brothers! You are here! I am short of manpower!" Jiang Weiguo smiled happily.

Those who came were all Jiang Weiguo's sworn brothers.

Jiang Weiguo has nine sworn brothers. Among the ten, Jiang Jingguo is the boss and Jiang Weiguo is the eighth.

Right now, except for Dai Anguo, the third eldest who is active in Germany, and Jin Dingguo, the ninth eldest who is active in the Golden Triangle, the other seven people have all rushed over to "deposit" to Jiang Weiguo, and follow Jiang Weiguo to "do great things". The seven are the eldest Jiang Jingguo and the second eldest Yu Wanguo De, the fourth Wang Wenying, the fifth Sun Zhiping, the sixth Ju Boqiang, the seventh Sun Zhiqiang, and the tenth Zhang Jizheng.

For a long time, Jiang Weiguo has been very disdainful of the style of many high-level national and military officials, including his old man Chiang Kai-shek. People don't appoint, don't promote, and don't trust "outsiders", which leads to the formation of intricate nepotism and factions in the national government and military.

However, as time went by, Jiang Weiguo had to "understand" Chiang Kai-shek. "Outsiders" will have the same heart and mind as themselves.

As Chairman Mao said, "There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things." Even the CCP admits that there are various "mountains" within itself, let alone the Kuomintang.

At this time in China, there are many factions, a state of disunity, and the country is torn apart. The KMT’s party is also intriguing. Different factions intrigue each other. Faction eyeliner.

Once this overall atmosphere of mutual distrust is formed, it will be as difficult as heaven to completely eliminate it.

Jiang Weiguo now has his own territory, and if he wants to manage the Shandong and Jin provinces in his hands, he can only use "his own family".

In fact, it was inevitable for Jiang Weiguo to use Jiang Jingguo and others. Jiang Jingguo and other members of the "princelings" were all young and vigorous, with pure thoughts and had not been colored by officialdom. Only such young people would Truly "serve the people wholeheartedly."

When Jiang Weiguo was talking and laughing with Jiang Jingguo and others, more than a dozen people came down from the two transport planes behind, all of whom were blond and blue-eyed Germans. Hitler's personal secretary, Nazi Party Central Party Secretary Martin Bormann.

"Mr. Bowman, welcome, welcome to China!" Jiang Weiguo shook hands with Bowman happily.

Bowman also smiled all over his face: "Mr. Jiang, you are welcome!"

Jiang Weiguo maintained a polite smile on the surface, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

This Bormann is no ordinary person, as can be seen from the two positions he holds. This person is known as the "Shadow of the Führer" in the Nazi Party and is in charge of the financial power of the Nazi Party, which is equivalent to Hitler's "chief steward". , deeply trusted and valued by Hitler.

In the original history, Hitler evaluated Baumann as "the most loyal comrade" in his will. It is also worth mentioning that when Nazi Germany fell, this Baumann actually evaporated from the world, disappeared mysteriously, and was never seen alive or dead. corpse, leaving a great mystery to the world.

Jiang Weiguo knew very well that Hitler sent his "chief steward" to see him, what else could it be?Of course it was money.

How can Jiang Weiguo be unhappy, because he is worrying about money right now. Although money is not everything, it is really impossible without money.

Jiang Weiguo now has a position of a nature: a member of the Lujin Political Affairs Committee. Of course, his "member" is actually the chairman of the committee (the highest official of the committee is not called the chairman, but the chairman). As for this "Lujin Political Affairs Committee" , is the highest wartime administrative department of the two provinces of Shandong and Shanxi, and both provincial governments are subject to its jurisdiction.

The "Lujin Political Affairs Committee" was established in imitation of Song Zheyuan's "Hebei-Chahar Political Affairs Committee" (managing the two provinces of Hebei and Chahar) and Zhang Xueliang's "Northeast Political Affairs Committee" (managing the four northeastern provinces), and was given by Chiang Kai-shek. Jiang Weiguo was established, which enabled Jiang Weiguo to manage the two provinces of Lu and Jin in a legitimate manner.

Jiang Jingguo and others came, and Jiang Weiguo must have arranged them into the Political Affairs Committee.

In the two provinces of Shandong and Shanxi, Shandong is very peaceful. The Japanese have already withdrawn from Shandong. The power of Han Fuju, the former native emperor of Shandong, has been wiped out. Relatively speaking, Shanxi is still a little unstable. Yan Xishan is still alive, and the remnants of the Jinsui Army still have some influence , so Jiang Weiguo placed the headquarters of the committee in Taiyuan, so that he could sit in Shanxi.

The highest wartime administrative department of the two provinces of Shandong and Jin is the "Government Affairs Committee", and it also has the highest wartime military organization.

After the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, the theaters of the national army have been adjusted to some extent, there are still seven, but the jurisdiction has changed. In addition, it is "peaceful" after all, so it is not called a theater, but a military region. ), the existing seven military regions of the National Army are:

The First Military Region, Jurisdiction: Sichuan Province, Guizhou Province;

The Second Military Region, Jurisdiction: Shanxi Province;
