Section 72 Intimidation
Two days later, at this hotel, Yang Ximin discussed the situation in Guangdong with representatives of Tang Jiyao, Chen Jiongming, Deng Benyin, and other parties. Representatives of all sides unanimously vigorously complimented Yang Ximin, Tang Jiyao's representative publicly announced that after the matter was completed, Guangzhou would be handed over to Yang Ximin for management, and Tang Jiyao would not interfere with personnel taxes; Sir Smith, who represented Hong Kong and Britain, said that the British side was willing to support Yang Ximin's ammunition worth 1 million, and Chen Jiongming's representative said that Chen Jun would obey Yang Ximin's orders. Chen Lianbo also said that the Chamber of Commerce is willing to subsidize 200,000 yuan in military spending. Yang Ximin was full of joy, especially after hearing about Smith's million arms and Chen Lianbo's 200,000 military expenses, he was even more happy. But when it comes to how to work together, the meeting is less harmonious.
"Commander Yang, I won't hide it from you, after the Battle of the Dongjiang River, I saved the Guangdong army with great losses, at present, Hong Shuai's troops are in Fujian, and Lin Shuai's troops are in Jiangxi, both of which have not recovered, but Jing Shuai asked me to tell the commander that our army can launch some offensives on the border of Fujian and Guangdong, hoping to contain Xu Chongzhi's troops." Chen Jiongming's representative said very sincerely, Yang Ximin nodded and accepted, Chen Jiongming's troops were beaten badly in the Eastern Crusade, and he knew that it was not easy for Chen Jiongming to make such a promise.
"Commander Yang, the marshal asked me to tell you that our army has launched an offensive in Guangxi, and the good news is imminent, and we will never let Guangxi transfer a single soldier to Guangzhou." Tang Jiyao's strength is very strong, and his representative speaks very impulsively.
"So I thank you so much." Yang Ximin was very polite to Tang Jiyao's representative, after all, his excuse supported Tang Jiyao as the successor generalissimo. But Deng Benyin's representative was very embarrassed, everyone at the meeting looked at him, waiting for him to express his position, but seeing that Yang Ximin had reaped so many benefits, his own commander did not have a trace, and his heart was a little unbalanced, so he said without hurry:
"Commander Deng asked me to tell Commander Yang that I am willing to obey Commander Yang's orders, but the strength of our eight-subordinate coalition is limited, and I ask Commander Yang to be more considerate."
Originally, Tang Jiyao was too far away, Chen Jiongming's vitality had not recovered, and the one who could help was Deng Benyin, the main force of the Liang Hong's division of the Guangdong army, which was originally defending Deng Benyin in Xijiang, had been transferred to Wuzhou, Guangxi, and the troops in front of Deng Benyin had only one brigade and Li Fulin's department, Li Fulin's department said that it was an army, but in fact there were not even 5,000 people, and Deng Benyin's territory spanned the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, whether it was to support Tang Jiyao or Yang Ximin.
"When Commander Yang launched in Guangzhou, Commander Deng could go north to attack Kaiping and Gaoyao, thinking that he would respond." Deputy Chen Jiongming suggested that Deng Benyin's subordinates who were capable of Chen Jiongming gradually broke away from Chen Jiongming's system and formed their own line after retreating to southern Guangdong, but since they once belonged to the same line, Deputy Chen's tone did not have so many scruples.
"Alas, Shuai Jing doesn't know, although the territory occupied by my eight-part coalition army is not small, it is all barren land, and there is a shortage of ammunition and salary, and Commander Deng is not able to use it."
"Doesn't the Industrial Bank have any money yet?" Tang Jiyao's representative asked in a strange way, this industrial bank was established by Deng Benyin, and he issued a kind of banknote called foreign bills on the territory under his control, which was divided into two types: ocean bills and milli foreign bills; He amassed a lot of wealth for Deng Benyin.
"Now the value of the ocean coupon and the milli ocean coupon is half of the depreciation, so Commander Deng has not been able to eat well and sleep well for several months. If you don't believe me, you can ask President Chan. ”
Chen Lianbo saw that the other party burned the fire on himself, and scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend, so he had to pretend to sigh. This is just right, and neither party is offended.
"Forget it, there is no Zhang Butcher and still eats hairy pigs." Yang Ximin said impatiently, he actually didn't value the strength of these people at all, the student army was rumored to be amazing, but he didn't look at it at all, wasn't Chen Jiongming the same at the beginning? Guangzhou was taken down by Lao Tzu in the same way. He sneered in his heart, the student army, a bunch of hairy boys, Lao Tzu was able to disarm them with one platoon, Chen Jiongming has been too comfortable in Hong Kong in the past two years, and he won't fight.
"I think that's it, I will take care of the affairs of Guangzhou alone, and when the time comes, please go to Guangzhou to gather virtuous people and drink."
"Okay, when the time comes, I will definitely go to Guangzhou to congratulate the commander on his appointment as the overseer of Guangdong." Li Yanguo immediately said excitedly, and then patted Yang Ximin's ass by the way: "I ask Duke Duan to invite ministers from various countries to send representatives to participate, then Commander Yang's inauguration ceremony is the grandest ceremony in Guangzhou in the past ten years." ”
These words made Yang Ximin excited again, he seemed to have seen himself riding a white horse, under the escort of the honor guard to accept the cheers of the people, and the representatives of all parties surrounded him like stars holding the moon, praising his great achievements, including of course the high-nosed foreigners, such a scene is very exciting to think about.
"Yes, serve the wine, we wish Commander Yang success." Everyone stood up one after another, immediately rehearsed a performance of the stars holding the moon, and raised their glasses to congratulate Yang Ximin.
After returning to his room, when the door was closed, the excitement on Li Yanguo's face disappeared, he sat at the table, his fingers tapped slowly and gently on the table, and after a while, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down a line of words: "Yang Liu is arrogant, the competition is weak, Tang Yuan and Deng are at both ends, and things can be done; The public should have done something else as soon as possible. Then he called in his retinue and asked him to send it to Yanjing immediately.
The situation in Guangzhou has become clearer and clearer, in Zhuang Jihua's view, Yang Ximin engaged in a rebellion like Song Xianggong, in addition to supporting Tang by telegram, he also transferred Zhao Chengliang's division back to Guangzhou, and then transferred troops from Hu Sishun's Third Army to garrison Baiyun Mountain, and then ordered Hu Sishun to hold Huizhou, and did not allow the armies of the Eastern Expedition to return to Guangzhou.
If it is said that the Yunnan army still has a market in the army because of its regional relations, then there are differences in the Gui army on supporting the Tang Dynasty, the senior generals are willing to support the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many low-level officers who oppose the Tang Dynasty, in order to gain the support of these officers, Liu Zhenhuan almost made public the terms of cooperation with Tang Jiyao in the whole army.
This made Fan Hanjie get information effortlessly, the intelligence was so easy that Zhuang Jihua doubted the real surname of the intelligence, soon after He Jinhan was transferred, Zhuang Jihua reported to Chiang Kai-shek for approval to let him participate in the work of the intelligence department, He Jinhan only knew the real reason for letting him go to Shantou, which made him grateful to Zhuang Jihua, he thought that the Shantou Liaison Office was an idle position, and he came here just because Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhuang Jihua to go to his side, but he didn't expect that this was not the case at all, although the intelligence department now only has information in Guangzhou, But his important surname can fully understand that Zhuang Jihua asked him to come, not only to save his political life, but also to open a rapid upward path for him, so he is extraordinarily hard.
"Junshan, don't you say it's too easy, is this information accurate?" Zhuang Jihua asked He Jinhan again. Looking at Zhuang Jihua's appearance, He Jinhan couldn't help but be happy.
"I see you, you are a hard worker, anxious when there is no information, and worried about this and that when you have information. Aren't you looking for sin? ”
Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, the difficulty of obtaining information in the film and television dramas in his previous life made him remember deeply, what kind of spy Fengyun, Mission Impossible, that is not Boyun treacherous, how can it be so easy.
"This intelligence is a technical job, and the spy master is more worthy of being an artist, Junshan, it's not that I said, you and I are not that material, it's just that the principal is short of talents now, let us take a look, and I still want to lead the troops in the future."
"I don't think it's difficult, don't you think Brother Fan is doing a good job." He Jinhan said disapprerovingly.
Seeing his appearance, Zhuang Jihua decided to show off: "It is very difficult to engage in intelligence, the intelligence station is a war that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, and its tragedy is no less than the face-to-face confrontation on the battlefield. ”
"Speaking of spies, there are intelligence officers sent in, such as Brother Fan; There is also the instigation of senior generals of the opposition side to act as intelligence officers. The first quality of a spy is faith, which must have a firm faith, followed by will; Because the intelligence agent has lived in the enemy camp for a long time, he wants to deceive everyone around him, even his wife and children, not in a year or two, but in decades, or in a lifetime. ”
"There are many ways of espionage warfare, such as capturing enemy intelligence officers, how to deal with them is an art, shooting is the easiest, and the advanced is to use him to transmit false information and mislead the enemy. There is also the deployment of intelligence officers, intelligence warfare is a long-term operation, intelligence personnel need to be lurking for a long time, so intelligence personnel can not be used for quick success, it is best not to let them take risks, for example, we send intelligence personnel into the enemy's camp, at the beginning his position may not be high enough, the information obtained may be low-level intelligence, but if he is in the enemy camp for a long enough time, it is possible to rise to the top, and sometimes we may need to create conditions for him to make meritorious contributions, so as to rise to a higher level. ”
"And the key to espionage warfare is secrecy, espionage warfare is the enemy in our enemy, the protection of intelligence agents must not only be in the enemy camp but also on our own side, because you don't know whether the enemy has planted spies around you, so the first condition for those who engage in intelligence is to be suspicious and not trust anyone. Junshan, can you do it for decades without trusting anyone? ”
He Jinhan was skeptical at first, but then he was a little frightened, he didn't believe anyone for decades, he asked himself if he could do it, he shook his head, and his face was a little pale.
"Espionage warfare is the destruction of people's surnames, invisible bloodshed but the bloodiest, can't hear the sound of guns but can kill people like hemp, espionage warfare is also a contest of advanced wisdom, spies are the smartest, most determined people." Zhuang Jihua saw He Jinhan's appearance, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he didn't want him to leave this position after he left this position, so he would take over, and leave it to Dai Li.
"Let's talk about the present, Junshan, don't you say that Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan are not child's play, such an important matter is actually publicized all over the world, as if they are afraid that others will not know, don't they have brains, don't they know that the Generalissimo's Mansion can order a counterinsurgency?"
He Zhenhan was stunned and didn't react, Zhuang Jihua was a little strange, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He Jinhan replied this time, and said a little dazedly: "Oh, I don't think it's anything." ”
"You can't be intimidated by me." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.
"Nonsense, I'm not afraid of face-to-face bayonets, I'm still afraid of this," He Jinhan argued, he grabbed the intelligence in Zhuang Jihua's hand and looked at it: "I think it's no problem, Cultural Revolution, in fact, this is because you don't know warlords like Yang Ximin, you have been in the United States for too long, you don't know Chinese warlords, as long as these warlords have soldiers in their hands, he is not afraid of anyone, and no one cares about them." You see if there are any of our troops around Guangzhou now, no, so even if the Generalissimo's Office knows that he is going to rebel, there is nothing to do with him. ”
"But we can be transferred back to quell the rebellion, and there are also the Hunan army and the Guangdong army that support the Generalissimo's Mansion."
"Yes, but they are not in Guangzhou, if you want to transfer back, let's not talk about us, let's take a look at the strength of the Yunnan Gui Army, the Yunnan Gui Army adds up to more than 50,000 people, which accounts for almost half of the Guangdong army, in addition to our school army, the equipment of the Yunnan army has always been stronger than other armies, before our school army, the Yunnan army has always been the main force that the prime minister relies on, and the arrogance of long-term severe punishment makes him not take the rest of the armies in his eyes, not to mention, Yang Ximin thinks that Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong in Guangxi can't stop Tang Jiyao, Tang Jiyao is half a month at the earliest, The slowest is 30 days to Guangdong; So Yang Ximin thinks that the Generalissimo's Mansion can't do anything about him. After all, He Jinhan almost knows more about warlords than this, and has a more accurate grasp of Yang Ximin's mentality.
"Hey, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Yang Ximin doesn't even understand this truth, I really don't know how he survived to this day." Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to laugh sarcastically.
"It's not easy to live, you see that the warlord died in that defeat, defeated, send a power, hide in the concession, and it'll be fine." He said with hatred and hatred.
"Report." Zhuang Jihua was about to speak, when a report came from outside the door.
"Come in." Zhuang Jihua shouted.
Hua Chun came in, saluted Zhuang Jihua and said loudly: "Report to the chief, Commander Xu has sent someone to see you." ”
Zhuang Jihua was a little strange, motioned to He Jinhan to put away the information, and then said, "Please let him in." ”
After Hua Chun went out, there was another report outside, Zhuang Jihua asked him to come in, and the young lieutenant officer came in from outside the door, and after he entered the door, he saluted Zhuang Jihua first, and then said: "I am ordered to deliver a notice to Major Zhuang." After speaking, he opened the purse, took out an official letter from it, and handed it to Zhuang Jihua with both hands.
Zhuang Jihua took it and took a look, and it read: "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Wang Zhaoming's notice." He couldn't help but wonder a little, this kind of notice usually just sends a herald or makes a phone call, why do you have to send a special person, and you have to meet yourself?
"Our director said that this notice is not clearly written, and he wants me to tell the chief in person, and if I have any questions, the chief can ask me in person." Seeing Zhuang Jihua's puzzled look, the lieutenant explained.
Unexpectedly, with his explanation, Zhuang Jihua paid attention to him.
