The Shanghai conspiracy was renamed the conspiracy

"The harm of opium, gambling, and prostitution is obvious, and now we are in a critical period of resisting foreign humiliation, and we should lift our spirits, cleanse morality, and unite the people, so I think it is urgent to ban drugs, gambling and prostitution, Brother Tian, I hope you can support me. \.М\\”

Li Zhilong understood that the main reason for Chiang Ching-kuo's stay was to seek support. After Zhuang Jihua called him not to participate in the anti-drug campaign, he neither supported nor opposed the campaign launched by Chiang Ching-kuo, and he did not intervene in the covert resistance of the forces in Sichuan. All the forces in Sichuan are hiding together, making Chiang Ching-kuo a little lonely, and today Deng Yanda and Chen Mingshu are here, and Chiang Ching-kuo wants to persuade Li Zhilong through them to support his actions.

"Jingguo, it is precisely considering that we are in a critical period of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and need to unite the forces of all parties, so we can't easily use opium," Li Zhilong patiently explained: "Through opium, the various armies in Sichuan have amassed a lot of money and used it to raise the army. ”

"Opium is a disaster for the country and the people, and the ban on opium is good for the people of the country, so how can it be detrimental to the war of resistance?" Chiang Ching-kuo found it difficult to accept, he stood up angrily and said loudly: "Since the establishment of the Republic of China, there have been anti-drug measures in various places, but they have all failed, and the reason is that the presiding officer has not been firm in his determination. ”

Deng Yanda and Chen Mingshu exchanged glances, and Chen Mingshu said with a smile: "Jingguo, don't worry, I already know what is going on after listening to Zaitian's introduction." On this point, I agree with Zaita's opinion that there should be no rush. As you said, anti-drug and gambling have been done everywhere and at all times, so why hasn't there been any success? The prime minister had also banned gambling before, and in the end he failed, and there were too many things involved in this, and it was difficult to succeed. ”

"Jingguo," Zheng also nodded: "You say that we are greatly affected by the Cultural Revolution, I agree with this, but to say that we blindly follow the Cultural Revolution is a misunderstanding." In fact, many of the practices of the Cultural Revolution were based on the opinions of all of us, such as rent reduction and interest reduction, which he did not promote in the whole province in Yunnan, and even in Chongqing, not all of them were promoted, such as the Qianjiang and Miao areas. Anything that is not bad must be eliminated, no matter how good the policy is, there must be a process of implementation, and no matter how bad it is, as long as it exists, we must be cautious to eliminate it. ”

"This is what Nietzsche said about existence is reasonable," Li Zhilong took over the topic and said: "In the words of the Cultural Revolution, behind everything, there are interests in it, and only by sorting out the interests can we do it." Wang Anshi changed the law, did he mean it well or badly? Of course it was good intentions, but why did it end up getting things wrong? Blind kindness does not mean that things will definitely be done. The development of the southwest, from beginning to end, has been involved, the difficulties and complexities, I know very well, let's just say rent reduction and interest reduction, such a good thing, but we only implemented it two years after we mastered Chongqing, why? Isn't it just that we are worried that good measures will become harmful to the people, you see, a lot of problems were exposed later, and we had to conduct another review, investigate and punish many people, the Cultural Revolution also escaped an assassination, and Mayor Yang was also seriously injured and almost died. In the country, don't be too anxious about everything, and everything must focus on the overall situation. ”

At this time, Deng Yanda stood up and walked to Jiang Jingguo's side: "Jingguo, I have been against your father for many years, but you are eager to change and wash the heart of officialdom, I support and approve of it." In the past two years, I have been running around the country and establishing a reserve, which is obviously a good thing, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, but I can't establish it, and I barely do two, which is also a fraud, and I catch up on the numbers; Think about it again, the Northern Expedition, are we launching too fast, Borodin said that the revolution must be accompanied by a certain economic strategy, Zhuang Jihua proposed three laws, the purpose of which is to reconcile the contradictions within the revolution, including the distribution of interests, the prohibition of drugs, gambling and prostitution, conducive to the War of Resistance, should be banned, but how to ban, Jingguo, you should think carefully, with the minimum price, to achieve the greatest success. ”

Chiang Ching-kuo couldn't help but be very excited when he heard this, he was clear about the contradiction between Deng Yanda and Chiang Kai-shek, Deng Yanda would actually support him, and this move itself made him very excited. But Chen Mingshu was very surprised, not because Deng Yanda supported Jiang Jingguo, which was not surprising to him, Deng Yanda was already like a fire, he would rather bend than bend, as long as anything was right, he would support it, even if he did not hesitate to lose his life. What surprised him was the passage about the Great Revolution, which showed that Deng Yanda began to reflect on his ideas, and it was even possible that he would revise his theory of the civilian revolution. This is a great event, and it may lead to a change in the work of the entire Third Party. Chen Mingshu frowned slightly, he looked at Deng Yanda, thought about it and still didn't speak.

Jiang Jingguo turned to Deng Yanda and said: "You are right, nothing is smooth sailing, and it is feasible to take it step by step, Senior Deng, what do you think I should do?" ”

"You are asking Yu Blind," Deng Yanda smiled faintly: "I don't know much about Chongqing, I have been in Chongqing for seven years, and the southwest was built by them, he has rich experience in politics, you should ask him for more advice." ”

Li Zhilong was a little embarrassed, Zhuang Jihua had already warned him not to get involved in this matter, let Jiang Jingguo do it, let him clash with the forces in Sichuan, unless he promised not to get involved in the Sichuan Development Company again. But now Deng Yanda pushed him to the front of the stage, and if he didn't say a few words, I was afraid that he would not be able to get along with Chiang Ching-kuo in the future.

"The teacher is serious," Li Zhilong said with some guilt: "I haven't thought about this problem carefully, but from past experience, things are prioritized, and at the same time, there are difficulties in prohibiting drugs, gambling and prostitution. ”

Seriously smiled in his heart, Jiang Jingguo has been here for so many months, and after he became familiar with team affairs, he did two things, prohibition, gambling and prostitution and decomposition of Sichuan Development Company; There was no progress in the two things, the former was still a little bit of momentum, and the latter was boycotted by Liu Xiangtian Songyao, Li Zhilong, Mei Yuntian and others, Liu Xiangtian Songyao charged, Li Zhilong Mei Yuntian secretly attacked, suffocating Jiang Jingguo uncomfortable, and there was no way. Chiang Ching-kuo's actions today did not test whether there was a possibility of reconciliation, but it was seriously judged that Chiang Ching-kuo did not know what he was wrong about, and he was afraid that he simply thought that the Sichuan Development Company was a company that only made money, and the reason why Zhuang Jihua refused to let go was only the factor of money.

Sure enough, Jiang Jingguo became happy and threw his hand at Li Zhilong: "Thank you, thank you, Brother Zaitian, with your guidance, most things can be done." ”

Li Zhilong shook his head in his heart, this Jiang Jingguo is still a little tender and easy to coax, but he has a smile on his face: "Jingguo's words are serious, this is just a little idea of mine, whether it is effective or not, it is difficult to say, after all, they have suffered a lot of losses." ”

Chen Mingshu took a sip of tea from the teacup, put the teacup on the coffee table, and said slowly: "Knowing is reasonable, moving is emotional, I think Liu Xiang and they are also unreasonable from time to time." ”

"Sending troops out of Sichuan to resist the war, there is nothing to say," he shook his head seriously and said: "But anti-narcotics is related to military salaries, and I am afraid it is difficult to say." ”

"It's nothing, Senior Chen said it well, he knows it with reason, and he moves it with emotion, they can support the War of Resistance like this, they should not be unreasonable people." Chiang Ching-kuo was still very optimistic, before he came, Chiang Kai-shek had talked to him, and in that conversation, Chiang Kai-shek clearly told him that Chongqing is very important, the country's military needs all depend on Chongqing, and all control is in the hands of the Sichuan Development Company, and Chongqing's organizational structure and social management have a reference role for the rest of the country, and the officials here are the most honest in the country, so when he came to Chongqing, he must first have an attitude of learning, make achievements, and then spread these experiences to all localities. However, Chiang Ching-kuo also heard the hint that if he could take the Sichuan Development Company, he would definitely get it.

Li Zhilong didn't want to talk about it, so he diverted the conversation: "Teacher, after going to the sixteen counties for so long, do you think we can still fix those places?" ”

Deng Yanda pondered for a moment and said: "Frankly speaking, Chongqing's government organization structure is the tightest in the country, and it is very effective for social management, but I also found a problem. In addition, Chongqing's hukou policy is relatively strict, and there are hukou restrictions wherever they go, which actually restricts the people's right to freedom, and there is also press control, although Chongqing's press control is not violent, it is very strict, and there is a suspicion of restricting press freedom. ”

Li Zhilong smiled and nodded when he heard this, admitting: "This matter is quite controversial, there was a lot of controversy in the development team at the beginning, the Cultural Revolution was angry at that time, thinking that the news industry was chaotic, some tabloids specialized in publishing rumors, and the newspaper industry practitioners were uneven, and they must be rectified, so a series of laws and regulations were formulated to regulate news organizations." Moreover, this is wartime, and no matter which country has a censorship system during the war, the main thing is to avoid leaking information and shaking the people's will, so we have stricter restrictions on the press. As for the hukou system, it is also a strategy, mainly because we do not have a detailed identity management system like in Europe, the United States, and Soviet Russia, and with the hukou system, it is also of great benefit to the reservists, and when the time comes, the reservists can immediately enlist in the army. ”

Deng Yanda nodded, and secretly said in his heart that the Zhuang Cultural Revolution was powerful, and this control of news was high-sounding, but the actual effect was a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it blocked rumors, and on the other hand, it also blocked the remarks of other political parties. For example, Xinhua Daily, Declaration, and Ta Kung Pao are still unable to enter Sichuan and Yunnan, and Guizhou is now gradually adopting this practice, so it seems that the control will gradually spread to the three southwestern provinces.

"The rules and regulations designed by the Cultural Revolution brothers are a bit like the management methods of Soviet Russia." Chiang Ching-kuo said with a smile.

"The GCD is protesting, saying that Chongqing has restricted press freedom and is not allowing Xinhua Daily to be published in Chongqing." Chen Mingshu said with a smile: "If you do this, Xinhua Daily will never be able to be published in Chongqing." ”

"It's almost like this, not only Xinhua Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Declaration, Wen Wei Po, Xinmin Daily, etc. are impossible to publish in Chongqing." Li Zhilong's expression was very calm, and then he smiled and said to Jiang Jingguo: "Jingguo is right, he said this at the beginning, we should learn from the management methods of Soviet Russia, and for this reason, we specially asked the palace embroidery to introduce the news management methods of Soviet Russia in detail. ”

Chen Mingshu, who was drinking tea, almost squirted out a sip of tea, the management method of Soviet Russia, this Zhuang Jihua really dared to do it, but I don't know if he can withstand the attack of the press, like Ta Kung Pao has a deep background, especially his actions in the Xi'an Incident, which won Song Meiling's favor, when Song Meiling came forward, can Zhuang Jihua bear it? Chen Mingshu really wanted to see it.

A few people were talking, the staff officer on duty suddenly hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Li Zhilong's ear, Li Zhilong's expression gradually became serious, he looked up at Deng Yanda and the others who were looking at him, sighed softly and said: "It seems that there is trouble again, Liu Xiang is afraid that it will not work in the next two days, Fang Jin reported in Chengdu, he just came back from Liu Xiang's mansion, saying that Liu Xiang has entered the dying period, and it will be two days after tomorrow at most, it seems that I have to go to Chengdu." ”

Among these people, he was a little nervous about Liu Xiang's importance to the Southwest Development Team, to be exact, to Zhuang Jihua. Deng Yanda and Chen Mingshu didn't know the relationship, but they were a little regretful. Chiang Ching-kuo didn't know the depth, but he heard something from Li Zhilong's words, but he didn't take the liberty of asking, and his eyes wandered between Li Zhilong and Serious.

"What? Liu Xiang still has a relationship with your Southwest Development Team? Deng Yanda saw some clues from his serious expression.

"Not only is there a relationship, but it is also very deep," Li Zhilong said with a wry smile: "Liu Xiang is in charge of Sichuan politics, the main work of our southwest development team is in Sichuan, Kang Yunnan, how can the relationship with Liu Xiang not be deep, the Sichuan army still has tens of thousands in Sichuan, Liu Xiang is their head, the chairman of Sichuan Province has a very big relationship with the southwest development, once Liu Xiang dies, who will replace him is a big problem." ”

Deng Yanda and Chen Mingshu nodded almost at the same time, and Chen Mingshu also said: "To be honest, I have been in Chongqing for more than ten days, and I haven't seen this Sichuan king. ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll go with you tomorrow." Deng Yanda agreed.

"Teacher, Senior Chen, I'll go first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow." Li Zhilong stood up to say goodbye, and Chiang Ching-kuo also stood up to say goodbye, but he sat down and didn't move.

After they left, Deng Yanda asked: "There is a question, I have never asked, is there any connection between the Cultural Revolution and the ** side?" What does he think of ** now? ”

"No, he still advocates the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party," said solemnly, but there was some worry in his demeanor: "But it is also a little different from before, especially knowing that after Wushan's death, his attitude towards ** has changed subtly, how to say?" It should be pulling and fighting, according to my observation, the ** personnel in the development team are probably all in his hands, and most of the ** organizations in Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are under his control, but he didn't move them, I don't know why. ”

"Dai Li's and Chen Lifu's people didn't report it either?" Chen Mingshu was a little surprised, could Zhuang Jihua command Chongqing's central and military commands? It's kind of incredible.

"No, Dai Li's attitude with him is cooperative, but the Zhongtong controlled by Hua Chun has become his organization, although Hua Chun is gone, the people below are still the same as before, Jiang Jingguo's foundation is too shallow, and he can't manage so much for the time being." Seriously frowned and said, really, Zhuang Jihua made him the most unclear about this, which made him very confused.

"What about us?" Deng Yanda asked.

"We can be open upside down, ignore it, and secretly reach out when we are in trouble." There was still a gloom between the serious eyebrows.

"What about Chiang Kai-shek?" Chen Mingshu asked seemingly casually, but in fact, there was a lot of meaning in it.

"He is both defensive and supportive of Chiang Kai-shek, and in the past few years, I have become more and more unable to see him clearly." The gloom between the serious eyebrows deepened: "On the one hand, he was very supportive of Chiang Kai-shek's War of Resistance, but on the other hand, he held the Sichuan Development Company to the death; Chiang Ching-kuo's several measures in Chongqing are difficult to implement, and there is his shadow behind them, and the root of this is in the Sichuan Development Company. ”

"You said he was guarding against Chiang Kai-shek," Chen Mingshu looked at seriously with interest, playing with the teapot lid in his hand: "Is there any evidence?" I think the pair of teachers and students have cooperated well, and Chiang Kai-shek agreed to all of Zhuang Jihua's combat plans, and he himself was promoted to commander of the theater in less than two years. ”

"There's no evidence, it's just a feeling," he shook his head seriously and stood up, lifted the kettle and poured boiling water for Chen Mingshu and them, and then said: "It turns out that I didn't see it, but I only saw it in the past two years, and the key is the Sichuan Development Company." The shareholders of the Sichuan Development Company included various forces in Sichuan, and the inclusion of these people in the first place reduced a lot of trouble, and enabled the smooth implementation of many policies for the development of the southwest. But now it seems that this also made Chiang Kai-shek's move to control the Sichuan Development Company difficult. ”

"Cultural Revolution, Cultural Revolution." Deng Yanda muttered in a low voice several times, looking at the thick night outside the window, listening to the serious words, Zhuang Jihua's originally clear image in his mind became more and more blurred.

"Chiang Kai-shek is bound to get his hands on the Sichuan Development Company, which is the only company in China that provides weapons and ammunition at present." Chen Mingshu said calmly: "It seems that this pair of teachers and students are going to fight, choose a student, and then you can see if you can pull him over." ”

"Why didn't he let Chiang Kai-shek meddle in the Sichuan Development Company?" Deng Yanda turned around and asked.

Seriously stunned, he didn't think about this problem, but Chen Mingshu smiled: "I'm afraid it's for money." ”

"No," Deng Yanda shook his head resolutely: "I knew that he was very rich when I was in Germany, he produced stockings, which swept the world, it can be said that he was a multimillionaire at that time, and if it was for money, what did he do on the battlefield?" ”

Chen Mingshu and Serious were stunned at the same time, and after a while, Serious sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's really hard to understand, do you know a rumor?" Rumors that circulate only at the top. ”
