Republic of China game

Ma Xulun, who wandered around Jinhua City for a few days, finally got Xia Chao's reply.So once again, he had the cheek to ask to see Chiang Kai-shek, a successful villain.Lao Jiang was still waiting for Mr. Ma Xulun with a smile at the gate of the conference room of the General Headquarters of the Second Front Army, and he still warmly shook hands and said hello and invited him to dinner.This time it was at the dinner table to discuss Governor Xia's defection deal.

"Jie Gong, Governor Xia has now agreed to train the government and reorganize the military and police." Ma Xulun gritted his teeth and said this. The training Xia Chao agreed, but Ma Xulun didn't agree. As soon as the negotiation was over, he tried to get him to be a member of the Political Consultative Conference to go to Beijing to oppose the dictatorship of the Kuomintang.

"Does Xia Dinghou have any other requests?" Chiang Kai-shek knew that there was no such cheap thing, and he was going to wait for you to raise conditions.

Ma Xulun nodded and said: "The military and police in Zhejiang have followed General Dinghou for many years. I am afraid that many people will lose their current positions if they are reorganized this time? So General Dinghou also needs to give an explanation to his subordinates."

"How much do you want?" Lao Jiang knew that he wanted money, and money can make ghosts turn millstones.

"All the military and police pay a year's favor, which is about 300 million."

"Okay, no problem. But how does Xia Dinghou plan to cooperate with us?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again.

"General Dinghou's plan is like this..." Ma Xulun told Chiang Kai-shek all of Xia Chao's plan, and agreed with Lao Jiang to act according to the plan, and kept an intact Zhejiang in the hands of the Kuomintang.

Sun Chuanfang and Zhou Yinren in Hangzhou City still have more than [-] elite soldiers who have been fighting for a long time, which can be regarded as an important military force directly in the south.After Wu Peifu got the report of Hunan's defeat, he secretly ordered Sun and Tuesday to immediately abandon Zhejiang and go north to Jiangsu to join forces with Qi Xieyuan, and then work together to protect Jiangsu and save a foothold in Jiangnan for the Zhili clique to counterattack in the future.However, Sun and Zhou Zhou also have their own plans. The two have been in hardship for a long time, and finally they have their own territory, which is still very rich in Zhejiang. How can they leave without making more money?And they also have their own little calculations. They think that if Wu Peifu can defeat Fengzhang, the situation of the direct lineage can still be saved, but will Zhejiang give them back by then?Wu Peifu didn't say this question, neither did the two of them ask, they just knew it well.However, the two of them are always careful about the road from Hangzhou to Jiangsu, and must not let the Kuomintang cut off the retreat.Xia Chao, governor of Zhejiang Province, is very aware of this, and he kindly cares about the escape route for them, and will report whenever there is trouble.

"Yue En (Zhou Yinren), I'm afraid something is wrong. Governor Xia sent someone to report just now, saying that his people in Jinhua discovered that a division of the rebel party left Jinhua and headed north to Yuqian in a hurry! Is this going to cut off our way of retreat?" Sun Chuanfang in the Marshal's Mansion in Hangzhou was discussing the military situation with Zhou Yinren, the commander of the No.12 Division who hurried over.

Zhou Yinren was promoted to division commander by the Beiyang government after the battle of entering Zhejiang, but the force is still a mixed brigade and has not had time to expand.He is not as nostalgic for Zhejiang as Sun Chuanfang, after all, the warlord is not his.Zhou Yinren looked at Sun Chuanfang and said with a smile: "Xin Shuai, isn't this a good time? Zhejiang can't stay here any longer, why don't we leave here?"

"The enemy only has one division, and I think it can be fought. How about I take the second division out and you lead the troops to defend the city with Xia Dinghou?" Sun Chuanfang still had illusions about Wu Peifu, so he was unwilling to give up easily. Let's blog.

"That's good, my little brother, I wish Xinshuai the victory." Hearing that he was defending the city and Sun Chuanfang was going to fight, Zhou Yinren was naturally happy.

On October 10, after receiving information that the Kuomintang army was marching towards Yuqian, Sun Chuanfang and Zhou Yin's soldiers divided into two groups, stayed in Zhouyin to guard Hangzhou, and led the second division to rush to Yuqian, about 11 kilometers west of Hangzhou, to seize Occupy this crossroads before the Kuomintang to ensure that your back road is safe.

Chapter 0096 Revolution in Trading ([-])

After entering Yuqian County, Sun Chuanfang was a little relieved.While sending out scouts to investigate the situation, they urged the troops to build fortifications and prepare to face the Kuomintang army.Not a day later, the soldiers of the Kuomintang army arrived, and it was not one division as Xia Chao said, but five divisions with a regiment of cannons, more than 4 people.As soon as the Kuomintang army arrived, they immediately began to besiege the city, completely encircling a small Yuqian county, and Sun Chuanfang and his second division were all blocked in the county.However, Sun Chuanfang was not nervous, because although Yuqian City is small but its walls are strong, it is not easy to attack. More importantly, since the main force of the Kuomintang has arrived in Yuqian, Hangzhou will naturally be safe.Thinking of this, Sun Chuanfang also set up the city defense with peace of mind while waiting for the good news from Marshal Wu in Shanhaiguan.

But he never expected that the bad news would come early the next morning. Somehow, Hangzhou City was captured by Chiang Kai-shek!Guarding Hangzhou is a mixed brigade of Zhou Yinren and a division of the Zhejiang Army, with a total strength of more than 1.The Kuomintang used 4 people to surround Yuqian, and the remaining troops were only [-] to [-]. How could it be possible to take Hangzhou in one day?

"Xia Chao!" After thinking for a while, Sun Chuanfang understood the reason. It must be the thief Xia Chao who betrayed him.Hehe, Sun Chuanfang is also slow. In fact, this is not the first time Xia Chao has betrayed his master. All the governors of Zhejiang since the Republic of China have suffered from him.However, Sun Chuanfang was still extremely stubborn. Although only one lone army was besieged in Qianxian County, he still refused to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek.

Lao Jiang knew that Sun Chuanfang would not surrender or attack, so he ordered Li Jishen to lead five divisions to continue the siege, while he himself sat in Hangzhou and began to reorganize the Zhejiang army and police.There are more than 33 "armed police" under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang's army and various security offices. The equipment and training level are very good. They were divided into 34 and [-] divisions by Chiang Kai-shek. He served as the division commander, a large number of Whampoa graduates served as company and platoon officers, and a very small number of them served as battalion commanders.And Xia Chao got his wish and continued to be the chairman of Zhejiang Province. In addition, he was allocated a large sum of money, which can be regarded as a gain.So far, Zhejiang Province has basically been pacified by Lao Jiang.

Looking back at the two lakes, the second day of the Laodaohe battle, the Kuomintang Second Front Army began to rest and reorganize. While digesting the newly recruited troops, it supplemented the losses of the war with prisoners of war.In the troops recruited from Changsha City, two historical generals of the Guangxi lineage were found, one named Liao Lei and the other named Li Pinxian. The Eighth and Ninth Divisions serve as deputy division commanders, so they are recruited under their command, right?In addition, it is to arrange the Hubei Raiders.At this time, He Chengjun, the chairman of Hubei Province appointed by the Kuomintang and a famous lobbyist in history, also came to Changsha from Guangzhou. He will replace An Sihua, who was the commander of the Ninth Division, as the chief of staff of the Second Front Army, and will be responsible for making suggestions for the Hubei strategy.

After celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Revolution of 10 on October 13, Luo Yaoguo called a meeting of important generals of the Second Front Army to discuss further combat plans.The meeting was held at the Yuelu Mountain Academy, the headquarters of the Second Front Army.He Chengjun, An Sihua, Fang Dingying, Wang Bao, Chen Cheng, Li Shunen, Wang Maogong, Tang Shengzhi and others participated in the meeting. However, the nominal commander-in-chief Tan Yankai did not attend the military training because he was busy with the preparations before Hunan's political training. Meeting.

Seeing the gathering of stars in the conference room, and most of them were older than himself, Luo Yaoguo had no choice but to be polite. He said, "Your lords have worked hard a while ago. This time, the Northern Expedition against the national thieves, I won the second round of the army flag. It really depends on you all fighting bravely, Yaoguo would like to thank you all here." Luo Yaoguo pretended to stand up and bowed deeply to the generals present, and said: "Next, we will work harder to calm down the south , so the first phase of the Northern Expedition’s goal is considered accomplished. And the next target of the Second Front Army’s operations is Hubei Province. I wonder if you have any good strategies?”

"Then let me say a few words first." He Chengjun stood up with a smile, walked to the map, picked up the baton, pointed at the direction of Hubei, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yaonan is now in danger and can't hold Hubei anymore. What he can do The only thing to do is to delay time and wait for Luo Wu to defeat Fengzhang, but judging from the current situation in Shanhaiguan, it seems that there is not much hope. This direct-Feng war may end in a draw or the Feng family will win, but I am optimistic about Fengzhang Well, after all, this war cannot rely entirely on shells.”

"Well, well said, I am not optimistic about Luo Wu either, the question now is whether Xiao Yaonan is willing to leave." Luo Yaoguo nodded and said: "By the way, we seem to have a surprise army in the northwest, what is their situation now How is it?"

He Chengjun shook his head and said, "The Northwest New Army hasn't contacted the General Staff for a long time. According to our comrades in northern Shaanxi's report last month, they seem to be negotiating with Ma Fuxiang about something. Maybe they want the Northwest horses to believe in communism. Right?" He Chengjun was so eloquent, it was naturally very humorous, after making a joke, He Chengjun continued to make suggestions, he said: "No matter what the Communist Party is planning, in short, they will not miss this opportunity, so Wu Peifu must lose Therefore, we don’t have to worry about Wu Peifu’s going south to help Xiao, and we can use our troops freely. Now that Xiao Yaonan has few soldiers, he will definitely choose to stick to Wuhan, and the other cities will probably be handed over to the local militia. Part of it took western Hubei, part of it crossed the river in Yueyang to take Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Jingmen and other places, and then threatened Xiao Yaonan's retreat from the north, trying to force him out of the three towns of Wuhan and force him to go north."

"The Communist Party's idea?" Luo Yaoguo frowned and said, "They can't wait to pacify Suiyuan. I think they are already on their way to Beijing. Then let's start on the 12th. An Sihua, you take the seventh, The 25th, 21th, 22th, 23th, 31th, and 32th divisions plus three artillery regiments form the first column along the Guangdong-Han Railway to approach the three towns of Wuhan, but do not attack the city, and do not go too fast. They can arrive within ten days Just under the city of Wuchang. General Boxiong (Fang Dingying) you take the 29st, 18nd, and 24rd divisions to form the second column and cross the Yangtze River from Yueyang to seize Jingzhou, Jingmen, and Xiangyang. General Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi) take the [-]st and [-]nd divisions to form the third column Go and seize the cities in western Hubei. In addition, according to the order of the General Staff, the [-]th and [-]th divisions are now assigned to the third front army, and they are limited to rush to Nanchang before the [-]th. The [-]th division stays in Hunan."

After all the generals were ordered to leave to prepare for the trip, Luo Yaoguo left He Chengjun alone.

"General Xuezhu, do you have any arrangements for Prime Minister Wu Peifu?" Luo Yaoguo asked with a smile on his face, "You should have met the prime minister before you came, right?"

He Chengjun smiled and replied: "The prime minister didn't mention Wu Peifu. He just said that it is best for the north to form a coalition government with multiple parties. Only in this way can the interests of all parties be represented to the greatest extent and the people everywhere."

"Then you brought money?" Luo Yaoguo stretched out his right hand in a gesture of counting money.

"Hehe, you can't hide anything from General Fuwen." With a grin, He Chengjun took out a large acceptance draft issued by HSBC from his pocket and placed it in front of Luo Yaoguo.

"300 million! It seems that the Prime Minister's political training has really seen results. With this money, Xiao Yaonan should be willing to leave the three towns of Wuhan and go north to help Wu Peifu guard his lair, right? When will General Xuezhu leave?" Luo Yaoguo asked again.

"anytime."

"Can you bring someone along?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly thought of an old friend.

"Wang Maoru, right?" He Chengjun nodded without waiting for Luo Yaoguo to open his mouth and said, "If it's him, it's okay, and letting him take a trip to Wuchang with me would be a crime and a meritorious service."

Wang Boling is sensual, proficient in mahjong and pai-gow, has super social skills, and looks good. He is a complete copy of He Chengjun. This kind of person is suitable for being an "insider".

The next day Luo Yaoguo held a banquet in Wangxiang Tower for the generals, He Chengjun and Wang Bailing to practice.I wish them success, and Luo Yaoguo himself will sit in Changsha and wait for their good news.After the banquet, Luo Yaoguo stayed with An Sihua to give an opportunity.He said: "Sihua, it is best to win the attack on the three towns of Wuhan this time without fighting. Just drive the enemy away, and stop fighting if you can."

"What do you mean?" This style of play was not taught in the German art of war.

"I want you to step by step, advance slowly, uh, approaching the three towns of Wuhan very steadily, and put strong pressure on the enemy. Our people will persuade Xiao Yaonan to leave, so your army is to put pressure on them, do you understand? ?" Luo Yaoguo explained patiently.If An Sihua still didn't understand, then he planned to lead the troops to Wuhan by himself, and let An Sihua dispatch them later.

"Oh, you mean scaring him away? Uh, and persuading them to leave? Is there such a good thing?" An Sihua shook his head in puzzlement.

"No problem. I estimate that the battle in the north will end within 10 days. Wu Peifu will definitely fail. At that time, Xiao Yaonan will have no choice, so don't fight him head-on. Wu Peifu will become a poor commander if he is wiped out. The world There is no permanent enemy in the world, do you think so?"

An Sihua seemed to understand, he nodded and said, "I know, Wu Peifu will be our barrier in the north in the future, so we can't weaken it too much. But what if he and Feng Zhang join forces to deal with us?"

Luo Yaoguo said flatly: "With the Communist Party here, they don't have the energy to go south."

Chapter 0097 red star sparkling (a)

Luo Yaoguo guessed right, the main force of the Northwest New Army has now left Northern Shaanxi and is on its way to Zhangjiakou.

It is nearly 800 kilometers from Yulin in northern Shaanxi to Zhangjiakou.China's Northwest is too vast, and it is not possible to take such a vast land into one's hands in just a few dozen days.

After Yulinhe fought against Ma Fuxiang and Ma Buqing, the Northwest New Army and Soviet advisers realized that there was a huge flaw in the Northwest military plan, that is, the local warlords in the Northwest were not tofu, especially those who believed in Muslims.Moreover, there is another problem that deeply troubles the Chinese Communist Party, that is, they have no way to obtain the support of the local Mongolian herdsmen in Suiyuan for the time being, and the high-level Mongolian people in Suiyuan are influenced by the counter-revolutionaries exiled from Outer Mongolia. Remain hostile.It is very difficult to launch a revolution in such an area full of complex ethnic and religious issues. It is simply unrealistic to pacify Suiyuan in a short period of time and turn Suiyuan into a base for the Communist Party to advance westward to Beijing.

Under such circumstances, Yu Youren and Deng Yanda proposed the method of borrowing from Suiyuan and directly attacking Chahar.Chahar also borders the Soviet Union, and is also connected to the Pingjin area. There are many Han people there, which is conducive to the work of the Communist Party. After all, there should be no language barrier to do ideological work for others, right?Therefore, this plan was quickly approved by the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party and Soviet advisers, and then reported to the Central Committee, which also quickly agreed to this new plan.

On August 1924, 8, the Suiyuan Metropolitan Government Office in Guihua City was heavily guarded inside and outside, and no idlers were allowed to approach the Metropolitan Administration Office.Ma Fuxiang was so vigilant to prevent Wu Peifu's eyes and ears from overhearing that he was in secret contact with northern Shaanxi.Since the Battle of Yulin River in July, Northern Shaanxi and Suiyuan began to contact through Jing Yuexiu and the Great Lama Zhamusa.The Battle of Yulin River made both sides realize that the opponent is very difficult to deal with. In order to preserve his own strength, Ma Fuxiang began to show his goodwill to northern Shaanxi, lifted the blockade of northern Shaanxi, and sent Lama Zhasamu to talk to Jing Yuexiu to understand the situation. The true intention of northern Shaanxi, when he learned that the opponent was Mr. Zhongshan's new army, Ma Fuxiang immediately expressed his willingness to live in peace with northern Shaanxi, willing to stand on Mr. Zhongshan's side at an appropriate time, and invited northern Shaanxi to send representatives to naturalize City League.

Ma Fuxiang's goodwill was quickly responded by northern Shaanxi. A delegation composed of Kuomintang veteran Yu Youren, communists Zhou Enlai and Qu Ming soon arrived at the naturalization and moved into Ma Fuxiang's Metropolitan Administration.

Negotiations between the two parties officially started on August 8. On behalf of Ma Fuxiang, his chief of staff Bao Shumian and his son Ma Hongkui participated in the negotiations.

Zhou Enlai and Qu Ming of the Communist Party participated in the negotiations on behalf of northern Shaanxi. Although the current northern Shaanxi is still a bipartisan cooperation, it is a bipartisan cooperation under the leadership of the Communist Party.

"We solemnly protest against your department's blockade of northern Shaanxi, provocation of civil war, and encirclement and suppression of revolutionary armed forces. Before negotiations, we demand that you solemnly apologize, compensate for losses, and promise not to make the same mistakes again." Zhou Enlai's attitude was surprisingly tough. Ask the other party to apologize and compensate for the loss.

Ma Hongkui waved his hand to stop Bao Shu, who was about to explode. He frowned slightly and said: "We blockade and attack northern Shaanxi under the orders of the Beijing government. The Beijing government is the central government. We have to deal with it. Please also You forgive me."

"However, this central government relies on traitors and oppression of the working people to survive! We want to overthrow this central government, and then establish a central government that can truly represent China and the people, abolish all unequal treaties, and drive out the big powers!" Zhou Enlai's tone seemed a little excited.

Ma Hongkui raised his eyebrows and fell silent for a moment. Zhou Enlai's words had already hinted at the requirements and goals of northern Shaanxi. Now it depends on how he chooses.

"Are you from Mr. Sun Yat-sen?" Before Ma Hongkui could speak, Bao Shumian, the chief of staff, asked the question first.

Hearing the chief of staff's question, Ma Hongkui's expression also turned solemn. Now is the critical moment for the future and fate of their Ma family. They must not stand in the wrong team, let alone stand in a muddleheaded way.Ma Hongkui immediately asked, "Are you the Kuomintang or the Communist Party?" Although the Northwest New Army claimed to be armed by Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang, Jing Yuexiu and Yan Xishan quietly hinted more than once that the Northwest New Army was in charge of the Communist Party. Some are unacceptable or even disgusting.

Zhou Enlai sat silently, but his heart was overwhelmed.Is it the Kuomintang or the Communist Party?Zhou Enlai didn't know how to answer this question.Now the true face of the Kuomintang has not been seen through by the broad masses of the people, let alone these feudal warlords who believe in Islam.And Mr. Sun Yat-sen is even more a banner of the Kuomintang. Although he is ill now, his influence and appeal are still higher than that of the Communist Party.

"We are armed under the cooperative leadership of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and we also support Mr. Zhongshan." Zhou Enlai thought for a while before giving this ambiguous answer.
