Republic of China game

The ground is covered with snow.A speeding train dragged a long smoke, passing through the endless wilderness.There are snow-covered farmlands on both sides of the railway. Looking at this scene, one can't help but think of the proverb that auspicious snow heralds a good year.

This piece of land is the Central Plains, a large plain in the center of the entire country. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who win the Central Plains win the world.Therefore, this place has always been the focus of competition among powerful forces in the troubled times. Battles for hegemony have been waged on this land, and many conspiracies and tricks have been staged on this land.

Now another joint vertical and horizontal alliance that may change the course of Chinese history is going on on this speeding train.In today's China, apart from the Kuomintang and Fengzhang, the two major military and political groups, one south and one north, each occupying one side, there are five major forces that can take the stage and may become the final winner in this troubled world.They are the Communist Party, Yan Xishan, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, and Duan Qirui.The five factions finally sat together under the cooperation of Chen Jiongming and Soviet Russia to discuss the possibility of alliance.

In a compartment with luxurious facilities, the representatives of the CCP, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui and Chen Jiongming, who wore the Zhigongdang brand, Bao Luoting, who can represent Feng Yuxiang, and people without party affiliation. Yan Xishan, who intends to join any political party, is sitting around, but the atmosphere seems a little tense.

Wu Peifu had a gloomy face, clutching the teacup tightly in his hand, his eyes were burning, and he said nothing.Chen Jiongming next to him was trying to persuade him.

"Yushuai, take a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter. Now the Kuomintang and Zhang Yuting are oppressing us from the south to the north. If we are in trouble with Feng Huanzhang's subordinates in the west, I'm afraid we will be attacked from three sides."

Yan Laoxi, who looked like a local rich man, quickly echoed: "Brother Jingcun said that if our five families can unite, we will have a total of 70 to [-] troops, surpassing the Zhang family and the Kuomintang. Dare to move lightly, our survival is guaranteed. If the five of us are not united and attack each other, I am afraid that they will be defeated one by one."

Zhou Enlai also came to persuade him, he smiled and said: "It's okay to smile at each other. Yushuai and General Huanzhang had some misunderstandings in the past, but that was a thing of the past after all. Now that we have common interests, we can completely let go of our prejudices." Unite together. Only by uniting can it be possible to develop and grow in the cracks between the two major forces of the North and the South."

Wu Peifu's face was still livid, and he would never forgive Feng Yuxiang in this life.Without Feng Yuxiang's counterattack, he and Cao Kun are still in charge of the city of Beijing. How could there be today's predicament?Moreover, Feng Yuxiang's army is as many as 15, and he is eyeing Guanzhong, and he may advance eastward at any time.If one day Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin fight again, this Feng Yuxiang will [-]% come to take advantage of the fire.

"Old Zhi, why don't you come out and say a few words?" Chen Jiongming was anxious when he saw that Wu Peifu couldn't get in, so he had to ask Duan Qirui, who was silent and only focused on chanting sutras, for help.He sighed and paced back and forth: "I also know that it is not good for Feng Huanzhang to defect, but now we are going to attend Chiang Kai-shek's wedding soon, and the Kuomintang is clearly going to use this opportunity to mediate the situation in the north. We have to get rid of it no matter what. Show a united attitude, and the five factions will advance and retreat together, or they will suffer at the time. Even if there is any resentment, let’s just do it after this hurdle.”

Duan Qirui also hated Feng Yuxiang because of Xu Shuzheng's death. He wished Feng Yuxiang would be excluded, and it would be best for everyone to unite and kill him.But after hearing what Chen Jiongming said, he also felt that it made sense.There are many opportunities to rectify Feng Yuxiang, but this "wedding and meeting" is only for a while.Now except for the two major factions, the other small forces must form a group, otherwise they will definitely suffer.

"Ziyu, let's just forget about it. Let's spare Feng Yuxiang this time, so what should we do when we come back from Wuhan?"

Wu Peifu's face softened a little, and he cupped his hands at Duan Qirui: "Since Mr. Zhi has spoken, Peifu dare not obey. It's just that Peifu said something first, and Feng Yuxiang and I have endless feuds. Go back to the bridge, go back to the road, do whatever you want."

after?How many more do you have?Mao Zedong leaned on a chair, watching several warlords who were almost at the end of their lives.I am secretly funny in my heart, these people have reached the critical moment of life and death, and they still can't forget that dog eats dog.This time, if it weren't for the Kuomintang's outrageous branches and what kind of "wedding and meeting", wouldn't Feng Zhang push the matter based on the strength of the three of you?

……

Night gradually enveloped the earth.Through the window of the train, I could vaguely see the shadow of the mountain. It seemed that the train had left the Central Plains and entered Huguang, which was already the territory of the Kuomintang.

Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Borodin were sitting in a corner of the dining car, around a table with a few simple dishes on it, and no wine was purchased.All three of them held bowls of white rice in their hands and were eating with relish.It is impossible to eat this kind of food in Yan'an. Although you are a member of the Central Bureau, your life is not much better than that of ordinary soldiers.This is how the Communist Party shared weal and woe, and saved every penny to expand its strength. This is why they can support more than [-] troops in the barren Suiyuan and northern Shaanxi, and this number is still increasing.

"The Kuomintang may propose disarmament, and all factions in China will do so together, including us. Enlai, what do you think?" Mao Zedong had two mouthfuls of food, and then chatted about revolutionary work.The radio station of the CCP delegation just received an urgent telegram from the Southern Bureau.Informed them of the latest intelligence obtained through insiders.

Zhou Enlai put down his job, looked out of the window, and said with a smile: "They are guarding half of the country now, and they don't plan to fight. Why do they keep so many soldiers? They want to cut their troops, but they are afraid that after the layoffs, the northern factions will attack them. So I pulled everyone to cut it together, and the wishful thinking was well done."

Mao Zedong nodded, looked at Zhou Enlai with a wink, and said with a smile: "Then we have to follow up. How can we not follow when they want to lay off the army? Let them lay off all of them!"

Zhou Enlai was startled for a moment, then turned his eyes, and immediately understood what Mao Zedong meant.The Kuomintang really wants to cut its troops, but others may not be willing to cut them down.This so-called "arms reduction agreement" is basically a gentlemen's agreement. The various factions say that they have laid off, but in fact no soldiers are reduced. How do others know?Especially the Communist Party, how many Red Army is not their own final say?It is impossible for others to count.

"Runzhi is right. Of course we must follow the Kuomintang's disarmament. Not only we must follow, Feng Yuxiang's army must also follow suit. Only in this way will they be able to safely and boldly disarm."

Borodin was stunned for a while, and he also wanted to understand the joints. He smiled and said: "Now it seems that the right wing of the Kuomintang will withdraw from the competition for the supremacy of China for the time being, and will not launch a new Northern Expedition. This is for us. It is a rare opportunity, do you two have any good suggestions for the next development direction of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China?"

Mao Zedong stood up, took a few steps in the empty dining car, smiled and said: "Now there is a great god like Sun Yat-sen in the southern country, we can't make any plans there for the time being. In the northwest, there is a mad dog like Wang Zixing, which is more difficult." The land there is barren and there is nothing to produce. If you have to pay too much to fight, you will not be willing. The focus of our next development should be Shanxi! Although Yan Xishan is good at management, he can't fight. His Jin army is not strong. If we unite with Feng Yuxiang and the leftists of the Kuomintang to divide the Shanxi into three families, we should be very sure, but...only Fengzhang may not sit back and watch Yan Xishan be wiped out by us. We have to find a way to divert Fengzhang's attention from Shanxi It's better to move away."

Chapter 0237 The Nobel Peace Prize Wedding ([-])

On the east bank of the East Lake, outside the headmaster of the Central Military Academy.

Two young cadets stood facing each other, with big eyes and small eyes, all with stubborn faces.Both of them looked good, with fair skin and neither tall nor short figures.One of them had a hooked nose and sunken eyes.The other one is just slightly fat, with a big round face, nose and eyes are also correct.

"Yo! This is Baogui! What's wrong with you? Did you run to the door of the principal's office early in the morning to embarrass yourself?" The young man with a big pancake face spoke fluent Beijing movies.

The hooked-nosed young man named Baogui glared, snorted, and uttered a good Beijing movie: "What can I do? When did I cheat on an exam? When did I make a major mistake in training? I am definitely here. It’s a good thing, maybe it’s Principal An who is pleasing to the eye and wants to be promoted. I said Guan Zongyou, you have to worry about it, have you offended Monk Wang (Wang Bailing) again? Copy it up again?"

The young man named Guan Zongyou said sternly: "Zhao Baogui, don't you talk nonsense? Which eye did you see that the master copied Zhang Lingfu's paper? Besides, you never copied Hu Lian's paper? Let's get along with each other! Come to this broken military academy?" It’s just messing around with safety food! If you want to blame it, you can blame Feng Yuxiang, who has nothing to do with the Communist Party, which made our old man panic like a frightened bird, lost his property and ran to the south. Isn’t it just sitting and eating? Otherwise, where is it? To do something?"

It turned out that these two were bannerman children who escaped from Beijing during the Beijing Revolution last year and fled to the south.After sitting and eating at home, I had no choice but to come out to find a meal, but I got into the Whampoa Military Academy ignorantly, and entered the fourth period.These two don't study hard and are mischievous all day long. The head of education, Wang Bailing, has long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, so he wants to seize an opportunity to kick them out of the revolutionary ranks.Obviously, now is the opportunity.

"Zhao Baosheng." This is the voice of Sun Yuanliang, the principal's secretary. It sounds fierce, but it seems that it is really more ominous.

"Zongyou." Zhao Baosheng's legs softened, and he quickly supported the wall with his hands, glanced at the "friend in distress", and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Master, let's take a step first. If you are lucky enough to stay, later You've made a fortune, and when you see your master begging for food, you can give me a few more dollars!"

"Where is so much nonsense!" Sun Yuanliang stood at the door of the principal's office with a sullen face, and said loudly: "Look, look, there is still a bit of a revolutionary soldier! Such an important task is entrusted to you. It's really..." Sun Yuanliang shook his head, thinking that he was already a dandy, and he didn't expect that there would be such a treasure in the fourth issue!I really don't know how it got in here?

"Heavy duty!" The two "masters" shouted in unison.

Hearing that he was not expelled, Zhao Baosheng also got excited, straightened his back immediately, stood at attention, gave a neat military salute to Sun Yuanliang, and shouted: "Zhao Baosheng, a fourth-term enlisted student, is here to report to you. Please give me instructions from Secretary Sun."

Sun Yuanliang looked at the two live treasures dumbfounded, waved his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, the two of you will come in with me, and when I meet with Duke Fu and General Chonglou (Wu Ziliang), behave yourself, you know?"

Fugong?Isn't that Deputy Chief of Staff Luo Yaoguo?Why is he here?Want to see us again?The two of them were suddenly overjoyed, and their spirits were even more full.It's not that Luo Yaoguo has never been here, but he often comes to the military academy. Zhang Lingfu, Xie Jinyuan, Hu Lian, Liu Yuzhang, Gao Kuiyuan, and Lin Yurong, among the fourth-term students, have been summoned by him more than once.I didn't expect such a good thing to be my turn, it really is the blessing of the ancestors!

The two followed Sun Yuanliang into the spacious and bright principal's office with great vigor.Sitting behind An Sihua's desk today is Luo Yaoguo who is wearing a general's uniform.On Luo Yaoguo's right sat the most frightening creature in the Central Military Academy - the devil principal An Sihua.On the other side was a fat man with a pleasant smile, wearing a major general uniform, his whole body was chubby, he looked like an officer in charge of military supplies, he must have made a lot of money.

"Student Zhao Baogui (Guan Zongyou) see President Luo and Principal An." After all, the two bannermen's children came out of Beijing and have seen the world.Seeing that Luo Yaoguo was not nervous at all, he saluted and greeted Luo Yaoguo with a smile.

"Well, not bad." Luo Yaoguo nodded in satisfaction.Xin said that although the grades of these two are not very good, they have seen this world before, and it is estimated that their interpersonal communication is also good.Compared with the last time, Lin Yurong was much better, and that person was too shy.

"Are you all Manchus? What's your old surname?" Wu Ziliang asked with a smile, but this question is more sensitive. After all, the Kuomintang opposed the Manchu Qing dynasty.

The two of them were slightly taken aback, thinking that because they are full of people, the free food and pocket money won't make it?

Zhao Baogui gritted his teeth, took a step forward and gave a military salute to Wu Ziliang, and replied with a serious face: "The student is Manchurian, and his last name is Ergenjueluo, but the student wholeheartedly supports the Republic and Premier Sun, student Still a loyal member of the Kuomintang."

Not to be outdone, Guan Zongyou stepped forward to express his determination. He also saluted the military and replied: "The student's old surname is Guarjia. Therefore, the students also wholeheartedly support the Republic of China and the Prime Minister, and if the students say a lie, they will be hit with thunderbolts!"

"Very good." Wu Ziliang still had an embarrassing smile on his face, he nodded and said with a smile: "Now there is a great wealth waiting for you, are you willing to do it?"

Both of them hesitated for a while. They were not country bumpkins who had never seen the world. Behind the splendor of wealth, there was always a relationship of blood.

"The emperor has arrived in Hankou." Wu Ziliang and the two didn't answer, knowing that they were afraid of taking risks, so they continued to introduce the mission. He smiled and said: "Your mission is to get close to him. It is best to follow him and join His Socialist Party. We estimate that he is also doing everything possible to arrest the army, and you will have a chance to become rich and powerful after following him. We will keep in touch with you secretly, will you do it?"

Are you willing to do it?You said everything, if we quit you can let us go back?Are you stupid as a fat man?The two masters glanced at each other, and took over this "splashing wealth" without hesitation.

……

In the luxury suite of Xuangong Hotel, the best hotel in Hankou.A young man in a plain gray-blue military uniform is having lunch—four corn buns and a bowl of milk.The goat's milk was too smelly and difficult to handle, so it was changed to cow's milk.This person is naturally Aixinjueluo Puyi, chairman of the Zongsha Party.

Accompanying Puyi to eat cornbread today are two other senior members of the Zongsha Party, Zheng Xiaoxu, an executive member who is not dead, and Yoshiko Kawashima, who looks like a loli.This is Puyi's "feast" to entertain his loyal ministers.The two big Zhongliang gnawed on the cold and hard corn buns, and their hearts were up and down in a bad mood.Is this a reckless attempt or insanity?

"Comrade Xianyu." Puyi suddenly put down the cornbread in his hand, looked at Yoshiko Kawashima expressionlessly, and asked, "You said that two Manchus who were studying in the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy of the Kuomintang came to you? Want to follow?" About me? Have you checked their details?"

"Go back to your seat." Yoshiko Kawashima hastily put down the cornbread, stood up and replied respectfully: "The slaves have already checked, and they are indeed the children of our Manchuria. They ran out last year when the Red Bandit rioted in Beijing , entered the Whampoa Military Academy because of lack of food and clothing. Now I want to come back and work with us, Commissioner, do you think we..."

Pu Yi hummed, continued to pick up the cornbread and gnawed it, and said after a while: "Let them come here to see me tomorrow, and I will personally inspect them. If they can be used, we still need to use them. Nowadays, the military talents of the Zongsha Party There is still a shortage, only one Xiqia, and Pu Xin is studying in the military academy. These two people should have learned some skills. If they can be used, we will find a way to send them to Japanese non-commissioned officers for gold plating. The department has become an official."

"Slave accepts the order." Yoshiko Kawashima bowed as she received the order.There was a burst of excitement in my heart. Hearing what Chairman Puyi said just now, it didn't seem like he was going crazy.It should be hard work. It seems that the revival of the Qing Dynasty is hopeful, so there is no need to be Luo Yaoguo's concubine.Hmph, if it's "Zheng Fujin" aunt, I can barely think about it.

Chapter 0238 The Nobel Peace Prize Wedding ([-])

Every day after dinner, Feng Yuxiang would go to the top roof of the Soviet Consulate General in Wuhan to enjoy the night view of Hankou flashing with neon lights.

What a city that never sleeps, full of luxury, feasting and feasting!The city is now more prosperous and more decadent than it was under the Beiyang government.Couples of young men and women on the road are mostly dressed in fashionable western clothes, and some even hook their shoulders and backs, cuddling and hugging, which is simply out of place.There seem to be several times more cars in Hankou, and there are long queues, passing through the narrow roads, and there will be traffic jams from time to time.

Feng Yuxiang always wears a plain Chinese-style padded gown without a hat, and walks slowly on the rooftop with his hands behind his back.Looking at the night view of Hankou, an imperceptible smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.This moment is also the happiest time of his day. He suddenly thought of a saying that the CCP often talks about: "The enemy is dying day by day, but we are getting better day by day!" Is it rotten day by day?
