"Hmph, who else is there, isn't it just Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda, Yang Huchen, Tan Pingshan, Lin Boqu and others!" Chiang Kai-shek said the names of a few leftists with a gloomy face.Fortunately, there was no Luo Yiqun, not even Wang Jingwei and Cheng Qian.In fact, Uncle Luo is also very weak, which is similar to Wang Jingwei. If he really wants to show his position and fight it out, he will definitely not be able to do it.He still wants to be a member of the Military Commission and Minister of Armaments.

Chapter 0105 Allies ([-])

Hearing that Luo Yiqun was not involved, Luo Yaoguo breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, the impeachment case is a resolution passed by the Central Executive Committee. Punishment for voting in the Central Executive Committee's vote is obviously not in line with our party's party constitution. I think Mr. Liao and General Zesheng don’t really want to punish the Central Executive Committee members who voted for the impeachment case, but they have some other purpose?”

"Hmph! Can he do it if he wants to?" Hu Hanmin sneered: "Let me tell you the truth, the Prime Minister is also very angry because some Communists acted in the name of our party and violated our party's ideas." Hu Hanmin was referring to the issue of Outer Mongolia. Li Dazhao petitioned the Beiyang government in Beijing in the name of the Kuomintang to agree to the Soviet Union's garrison of troops in Outer Mongolia.On the one hand, this incident is inconsistent with the sovereignty of Outer Mongolia that the Kuomintang now advocates. On the other hand, petitioning the Beiyang government is tantamount to recognizing the legal status of the Beiyang government, which is contrary to the Kuomintang's proposition.That's why it was seized by the right wing of the Kuomintang to attack.

"By the way, how could General Zesheng be involved? Where is he now?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly thought of Deng Yanda, isn't he the commander of the Northwest New Army?Now that the Northwest New Army has turned into the Red Army, what is this army commander doing?

Speaking of Deng Yanda, Lao Jiang couldn't help jumping his feet and scolding: "Mother Xibai! This Deng Zesheng actually announced his appointment as the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army in the north! How shameless to the extreme!"

"What kind of commander?" Luo Yaoguo was also at a loss when he heard that, as if no one had told him what kind of commanders the National Revolutionary Army had in the north.

"Well, the same is true for Zhesheng. In the past two days, we sent a telegram calling him back to be the commander of the engineering army. He ignored it. Instead, he and Yang Huchen, Jiang Guangnai, and Cai Tingkai initiated the formation of a general headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army in the north, and he served as the commander in chief. Look, what should we do with this?" Zhu Peide also looked helpless when he said this.

During this period of time, the situation in the north was chaotic, and all kinds of forces were stepping up their activities. The Communist Party, the Anhui faction, the Feng faction, and even the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Youth Party who had just returned from foreign countries all wanted to take the opportunity to recruit troops.Only the Kuomintang remained calm and only firmly grasped the thirteen provinces (regions) in the south, seemingly planning to stay out of the matter.Faced with this situation, Deng Yanda and others, who had just entered Beijing from Chahar, could not sit still, so they obtained the consent of the Beijing Special Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang under the leadership of the Communist Party, contacted Yang Huchen, who was fighting in Guanzhong, and organized such a national The general headquarters of the revolutionary army in the north.Deng Yanda became the commander-in-chief, and Yang Huchen became the deputy commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief of the No.17 Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial National Government.It is hoped that an armed force of the leftists of the Kuomintang can be pulled out to contain the rightists of the Kuomintang.

After hearing Zhu Peide's introduction, Luo Yaoguo was also a little bit dumbfounded.Deng Yanda's heart is good, but this matter is indeed a bit abrupt.This casually sealed the army commander, commander-in-chief, and provincial chairman. Isn't this when the Kuomintang Presidium and the Military Commission are transparent?

"General Yizhi, didn't the Military Commission and the National Government send a telegram to refute it?" Luo Yaoguo asked with some doubts.

"Hehe, isn't it Wang Zhaoming and your uncle who help them speak? They say that they are interested in revolution, and we can't discourage their enthusiasm. We advocate neither admitting nor denying them." Hu Hanmin replied angrily.

"This is indeed a trouble, but my uncle's opinion is also reasonable." Luo Yaoguo ignored Hu Hanmin's hostile eyes and continued to defend his uncle. He said: "Now we have captured more than a dozen provinces in the south, except Sichuan and Anhui. We are already the masters of the territory other than complete control. But China's political center is in the north after all. Although we do not have the power to completely control the north, it does not mean that we will let it go. We need to let the situation in the north develop according to our ideas, and the north The current situation has also directly affected the attitude of the imperialists towards us. Now the general headquarters established by Deng Zesheng on his own initiative is probably the only force we can rely on in the north."

"But they announced early in the morning to form a united front with the Communist Party, and to lead the Chinese revolution together with the Communist Party." Lao Jiang's words clearly contained some dissatisfaction with Luo Yaoguo.

"Isn't that better?" Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly: "Let's not make a statement, let the Communist Party lead with Deng Zesheng and Feng Yuxiang together."

"What did you say?" Several old rightists exclaimed: "You want to hand over the power of the national revolution!"

Luo Yaoguo said indifferently: "If we let them, they will be able to lead? Fengzhang, Wanduan, Luowu, Britain, Japan, and the United States, are they planning to honestly watch the climax of the revolution come?"

"So, you also support the continuation of the Communist Party?" Lao Jiang's tone was clearly displeased.Since the Communist Party announced the establishment of the Red Army, he planned to break with the Communist Party.In the Military Commission, Xu Chongzhi and Hu Hanmin also clearly expressed their support, and Zhu Peide also agreed to follow.

"Yes, I support the continuation of the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party. We have achieved our current victory in the past two years because we have adopted the correct method to associate with the Russian Federation and the Communist Party."

"But the Communist Party has already thrown us off and formed another Red Army." Chiang Kai-shek continued to press, "Fuwen, don't you see the Communist Party's ambition?"

"It is precisely because of this that we continue to cooperate with the Communist Party!" Luo Yaoguo was not to be outdone, and continued to argue: "Where is the Red Army now? Chahar! The Soviet Union is within reach and we cannot touch it, so we declare a break with the Communist Party Can we destroy them? Since we cannot destroy them, or even reach them, what is the point of breaking with them? Moreover, the powers, Fengzhang, Anhui, and the various factions against communism in the whole country must be I hope we break with the Communist Party, so we should be more pro-Communist.”

"What do you mean?" Hu Hanmin was confused and didn't know what to say: "Since there are so many people supporting us to break with the Communist Party, why should we still be pro-Communist?"

Lao Jiang was cunning and cunning, and he understood Luo Yaoguo's meaning as soon as he heard it, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he asked: "If we don't break with the Communist Party, how can we ensure that our territory and army will not be infiltrated by the Communist Party?"

"Jiegong, if we break with the Communist Party, can we stop their infiltration?" Luo Yaoguo asked rhetorically.

Lao Jiang shook his head and said, "Of course it is impossible to eliminate it."

"Mr. Zhan, is the Communist Party infiltrating us very much now?" Luo Yaoguo asked Hu Hanmin again.In his memory, it seems that there are not many Communist parties in the army. Now the Kuomintang army is very strict in management, and the army mobilization, personnel, military pay, weapons and ammunition, and the ideological education of officers and soldiers are all strictly controlled.In this case, even if a few officers are under the control of the Communist Party, they will not be able to pull away the troops.However, Luo Yaoguo didn't know much about the folk situation.

Hu Hanmin nodded angrily and said, "Of course! Those who manage the army don't know that almost all of the party headquarters in our northern provinces are their people! Even in the party headquarters in the south, many of them have been found. People, as well as trade unions, peasant associations, especially peasant associations, have had three cases of rent resistance and tax resistance led by the Communist Party this year! We arrested people, and they dared to protest! It’s lawless!”

"That's all?" Luo Yaoguo smiled and said: "Then we can't break with the Communist Party. First of all, what is our advantage now? It is in the military. Our army is stronger than the Communist Party. But now we are fighting with the Communist Party. The territory is not bordering! Our superior force can't hit them. Our greatest advantage can't threaten them at all. What is their greatest advantage? It is the peasant movement! This is our weakness. The peasant movement of the Communist Party is disrupting order , They can mobilize the peasants by taking away all the land and property of the landlords and rich peasants. Can we do it? So it is very difficult for us to compete with the Communist Party for the peasants. Now the Communist Party is only organizing some resistance to rent and tax on our territory. They are not in the north. Hitting the local tyrants to divide the land! If we break with the Communist Party, they will take the same radical measures on our territory. At that time, they can continue to send people to our territory to make revolution, and we will not be able to beat them at all turf. I don't know what good this break will do us?"

Speaking of which, Luo Yaoguo took a look at a few big rightists. These people are almost either landlords or capitalists!Uh, so did Luo Yaoguo himself.This is the Kuomintang, a political party composed of the elites of the Chinese propertied class.It is simply unrealistic for you to ask the Kuomintang to attack the local tyrants and divide the land.In the Kuomintang-ruled area, even the reduction of rent and interest is very small. The only benefit brought to the poor and lower-middle peasants is free education. The children of poor and lower-middle peasants can get six years of free education.In this way, it is easier for them to become an industrial worker when they grow up, and thus become a gravedigger of the bourgeoisie!The current income of Chinese workers, especially skilled workers, is actually quite high, about 30 yuan per month, which is much better than that of ordinary landlords in the countryside.Therefore, the Communist Party's labor movement did not pose much of a threat to the Kuomintang.

"Aren't you afraid that the Communist Party will unify the north and then come to take our country?" Only then did Chiang Kai-shek express his real worry.He has always fully estimated the strength of the Communist Party. If the Communist Party unified North China, the Kuomintang would never be able to defeat them with their organizational and mobilization capabilities.That's why Lao Jiang strongly advocated breaking with the Communist Party.In this way, the Kuomintang can attack the Communist Party by supporting the northern warlords.

Chapter 0106 Allies ([-])

"Unify the North?" Luo Yaoguo smiled and shook his head: "Jie Gong thinks highly of the Communist Party too, don't forget about Japan! If you offend them, you will fight naked. The advantage of the Communist Party now is nothing more than a few members who are not afraid of hardship." , Not afraid of death. It is no problem to build a base area in northern China with this, but it is still far away to unify the north."

"But they are now on the border with Outer Mongolia under the control of the Soviet Union." Chiang Kai-shek reminded with a sullen face: "With Outer Mongolia's continuous import of weapons and ammunition, doesn't the Communist Party have as many soldiers as it wants?"

"Humph, can the Soviet Union be reliable? What is the purpose of Soviet Russia's support? It is to let us contain Japan, not to help us fight Japan. Now as long as Japan puts on the posture of going to war, Soviet Russia will definitely back down Yes." Luo Yaoguo doesn't think much of the current Soviet Russia.

Now that Soviet Russia is blocked by the whole world, if Japan goes to war with the Soviet Union in order to contain communism, it will definitely get the support of the imperialists all over the world, er, at least those guys in the Kremlin think this way.So as long as Japan is a little tougher, the Soviet Union will definitely back down.When the time comes, let the CCP go to the Japanese one-on-one?Oh, it's not a one-on-one fight. There are also a group of Beiyang warlords helping Japan.

"Hmph! We're gambling now!" Lao Jiang sighed again as he spoke, "Mr. Zhan, even if we all support a break with the Communist Party, the Prime Minister probably won't listen to it, right?"

"That's natural." Hu Hanmin shook his head slightly and said, "The Prime Minister's worries are similar to those mentioned in the supplementary text. His old man also believes that the Communist Party is more powerful than us when we simply compare the two parties. Therefore, we must try our best to To avoid conflict with the Communist Party, build the south well first, and it’s best to run it like an iron bucket. Before that, the old man wants us to stay in the south honestly.” What Hu Hanmin said was almost Mr. Zhongshan’s last wish According to Sun Yat-sen's common medical knowledge, one cannot live long after suffering from cancer, so everything he does now is planning for the survival of the KMT after his death. This is very different from another time and space.

"Okay, okay, the Prime Minister has decided on these big things for us. Let's discuss the small things." Xu Chongzhi waved his hand impatiently: "Now we have five committee members here, and the Prime Minister will also attend the meeting tomorrow. , mainly discussing how to deal with the current situation. Fuwen, you have a lot of ideas, so let’s talk about it.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Luo Yaoguo also heaved a sigh of relief.The current power structure within the Kuomintang is very favorable to Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew.Hehe, prosperity and wealth are very secure.If there is a big showdown between the left and right factions, then the power of the Kuomintang will definitely be reorganized, and it will be impossible for Uncle and Nephew Luo Yaoguo to keep two members of the Military Commission.

But looking at the performances of several bigwigs in the Kuomintang today, Luo Yaoguo still felt a little suspenseful in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek was too impulsive and selfish.Xu Chongzhi's oppressive beauty has no motivation, and the whole middle-aged Zhang Xueliang.Hu Hanmin's mind is a bit simple. Although he is a juren, it seems that he is not good at plotting tricks.Zhu Peide is now Chiang Kai-shek's follower.Own?Uh, Luo Yaoguo is only 25 years old now, but he has fought a few fierce battles, so he has climbed high and is known as Fu Gong.But his personal morality is flawed, and he is not cruel enough.Last time, Wang Boling was shot dead without mercy.It seems that it is indeed difficult to rely on these figures in the Kuomintang to compete with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai.Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo's forehead was also sweating profusely.

Taking out his handkerchief and wiping his sweat, Luo Yaoguo squeezed out a little smile and began to talk about his opinion: "The situation of our party is generally passable now. The 12 provinces in the south, the Jiaxikang District, have basically been acquired. In this way, the wealthiest people in China The territory of the Kuomintang will belong to the Kuomintang. We have two roads to go in the future, one is to seek fame, and the other is to seek profit.

Seeking fame is fighting for the name of the central government. I guess that once the Communist Party and Feng Yuxiang get involved in Beijing, those big powers will almost come to support us.It is not a big problem if the prime minister is to be the top leader of China.But in this way, we have also fallen into national disputes, and we have also carried the burden of the northern heroes. In order to obtain their superficial allegiance, I am afraid that this big foreign money will be spent like running water.And once the prime minister leaves us, our central government will probably be the target of everyone shouting and beating, right?

So my opinion is that we seek profit.We want to do a good job in the training and administration of more than a dozen provinces in the south. First, we need money, and second, we need to develop industry and commerce.Both involve tariffs.My opinion is that we need to establish an independent customs territory in the thirteen provinces (regions) in the south, separate from the north.The southern tariffs are independent and free from the interference of foreign powers, so that we can raise tariffs to a level sufficient to protect the development of national industry and commerce. "

"Can the great powers agree to this condition?" Hu Hanmin couldn't believe it.He didn't believe that the great powers were so easy to talk to.

"Hehe, that's why the Communist Party is needed? With the Communist Party and the Soviet revolutionary regime, the big powers will naturally try to win us over. If we don't want the central government, what else can they have to impress us? If China becomes the second Soviet Union, then Where will the next target of the revolution be? Myanmar? India? French Annan?" Luo Yaoguo sneered: "How much market share does the British and French imperialists still have in China? I'm afraid Japan and the United States have snatched it up long ago." And their colonies are close to China, so they must be most afraid of us becoming a Soviet country. As long as we hold high the bipartisan cooperation and support the banner of the Communist Party, it will definitely be Britain and France that will not be able to hold the banner. As long as they make concessions, the United States will fall into a post-war crisis. Isolationism will definitely not interfere, and in the end only Japan will be left. And the south of the Yangtze River is considered the sphere of influence of Britain and France. Britain and France have both made concessions. Is it useful for Japan to persist? Besides, Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin are also supported by Japan ?"

"Should we exchange it in the name of the central government for such a mere benefit?" Chiang Kai-shek always felt a little reluctant to the central government.

Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said: "Jiegong, this is not a mere benefit! The current 5% tariff hits us very hard. Because according to the unequal treaties with foreign powers, we cannot levy any other taxes above 5%. So There is also a unified tax involved here, which is called consumption tax (value-added tax) by the big powers, and generally charges more than 5%! This is almost 20% of the entire national gross national product! If we cannot levy consumption tax on imported goods, Then we have no way to collect consumption tax on domestic products. Otherwise, there will be no market for domestic products. If we implement tariff independence, this consumption tax can be collected immediately, and the government alone may be able to earn hundreds of millions a year! In addition There are also increased tariffs. Now we are 20%, and foreign countries are generally [-]%. If the tariffs are raised to [-]%, we will have hundreds of millions more every year, and the sum of the two will be more than one billion! Taxes from the taxation can be invested in heavy industry and infrastructure, which can greatly stimulate economic growth, thereby increasing tax revenue. On the other hand, with the protection of tariffs, our national industry and commerce can develop at a high speed, and the government's income can increase greatly. Another point is that the construction of infrastructure and the development of national industry and commerce will absorb a large amount of labor, especially the poor peasants in the countryside. This way, the contradictions in the countryside can also be eased, which is very beneficial to our rule.”

Billion!After listening to Luo Yaoguo's analysis, Lao Jiang and Xu Chongzhi both felt a little dizzy, er, no wonder this West Point Military Academy is called a "business school", and the people it cultivates are all military and economic general.If there is an annual income of one billion yuan, the central government will not need it for now, right?If you persist for 10 years, wouldn't it be 100 billion, no, it must be more!Because under the protective tariffs, the national industry will definitely develop greatly, as if the big powers are doing this, and the money collected every year can be used to build roads, dams, and build heavy industries, which can also increase income. Ten years later The gross national product will probably also increase a lot, right?

Lao Jiang and Xu Chongzhi looked at Hu Hanmin in disbelief, hoping to get confirmation from the chairman of the national government.

"Well, what the supplementary text says is almost the truth. The Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Finance have studied these issues long ago, but they are worried about the interference of foreign powers, so they dare not take action." Hu Hanmin nodded to confirm Luo Yaoguo's analysis: " So we are ready to make these demands on the great powers?"

"This is too little." Luo Yaoguo really dared to think and say, he smiled and said: "We want the big powers to return all the concessions in the south except Hong Kong, and take back the right of passage of the Yangtze River. How can the Yangtze River let foreign countries Warships coming and going? This is an inland river, not international waters!"

"Can they agree?" Chiang Kai-shek also expressed doubts, is this the lion's mouth?

"I don't know." Luo Yaoguo's answer was honest. He chuckled and said, "We're going to ask for a price and wait for them to come and bargain! But tariffs can't be allowed anyway, otherwise we will really support the Communist Party's entry into the country." Lord Beijing!"

"The general direction has been set, but the current situation seems to be that the Communist Party is about to enter Beijing." Xu Chongzhi's mind has not yet fallen into the eyes of money, and he still remembers that the Communist Party has already requested to enter Beijing.

"Feng Yuxiang didn't agree again. Unless the Communist Party invades Beijing, but now they and Feng Yuxiang are facing threats from Fengzhang and Japan, and they should unite. Regarding the Communist Party's request to enter Beijing, I think we can partially support it and let them send a The regiment entered Beijing in the name of the Communist Party Central Guard Corps." Luo Yaoguo made another move for the current situation.It is estimated that the Central Committee of the Communist Party will move to the north, either Beijing or Zhangjiakou.Perhaps there are some institutions in both places, so it is also appropriate to have a guard in Beijing.

"Well, this is a good way. Now Feng Yuxiang invites the Premier to go north to preside over the big plan. Of course the prime minister can't go, we can entrust the Communist Party Central Committee and Chen Duxiu to go north and preside over the big plan with Feng Yuxiang. In the name of entering Beijing." Chiang Kai-shek added Luo Yaoguo's proposal, forming a solution for Chen Duxiu and the Communist Party Central Committee to go north, and at the same time a regiment of the Red Army stationed in Beijing.

Qinglu, Baiyun Mountain, Guangzhou.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor and looking out, what comes into view is still a green ocean. Guangdong in November is still warm and full of vitality.

Sun Yat-sen looked back, and nine members of the Military Commission were standing behind him respectfully.With the establishment of the Kuomintang's ruling power in southern China, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's prestige is also at the height of the sky. Although he is "retired from illness", his words, deeds, and even a glance can determine the fate of thousands of people.And the place where he is is the center of the Kuomintang, the center of South China, and the center of [-] million people.Now the center is on the balcony of Qinglu. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou City, Mr. Zhongshan listened to the reports and suggestions of the Military Commission.
