Chapter 5: Constraints

Zengjiayan De'anli is a villa area

After the opening of Chongqing in 1891, the French Catholic and Methodist American priest Rui Pu successively purchased real estate in this area and built buildings such as Zhenyuan Church. In the late 20s, Chongqing began to build and expand new urban areas, where high-end mansions, residences and villas were built, and gradually formed the Deanli and Daxi villa districts.

As the official residence of Chiang Kai-shek, No. 101 De'anli was originally built by the general Xu Shaozong. Because Xu Shaozong is called "Yaoqing", this house is also called "Yaolu".

Song Meiling's official residence No. 103 villa was designed and built by the construction department of Huaxi Xingye Company entrusted by Ding Cihe, a wealthy businessman, in 1936. Together with the Meiling Building in the Forest Garden on Geyue Mountain and the Song Pavilion on the Yellow Mountain in Nanshan Town, Song Meiling has three official residences in Chongqing, both of which are called Meiling Building.

Chiang Kai-shek's two sons, one was busy directing the war against Japan, and the other was busy carrying out diplomacy with the United States, disaster relief, and condolences to the wounded, both of which were working for the state. Busy like this, Jiang and Song did not forget to promote the New Life Movement, drinking tea was changed to drinking boiled water, eating was extremely light, and the display of the official residence was also very simple, with wooden tables, wooden chairs, and wooden beds. It's just that although Song Meiling's life is simple, she is also exquisite. No, she and her husband are divided into two villas in the urban area, and the newly built Huangshan villa group in Nanshan Town is also divided into two according to her wishes, Chiang Kai-shek's official residence is located in Yunxiu Building, and Song Meiling lives in Songting Villa, and Song Meiling also according to her own living habits, specially requested to decorate the bathroom and build a dance hall in the Songting bedroom of her one-story bungalow building. Including Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, the Executive Yuan Kong Xiangxi built a beautiful and luxurious villa "Confucius Garden" on the Yellow Mountain, which will not lag behind for another 100 years.

Poor beggars on the streets of Chongqing who donated the last dime of begging for food to the beggars of the Anti-Japanese War will probably never imagine how comfortable it feels to live in a luxurious villa to direct the Anti-Japanese War and promote the New Life Movement.

At this moment, the solemn atmosphere in the office of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence at No. 101 De'anli continues. Even the guard officer standing guard at the door seemed to feel the heaviness of the atmosphere in the mansion, and his body stood more straight, and his eyes widened.

Shen Honglie never thought that he would be able to meet Chiang Kai-shek's core decision-making team, and he stood up excitedly to greet He Yingqin and others.

Chiang Kai-shek stopped Shen Honglie with a sharp gaze, and said "um" in his nose, "Brother Chang, go ahead, don't stay away, maybe they will look for you to continue to understand the situation in Shandong." ”

Shen Honglie has gained a lot today, not only became the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, became a senior official of the National Government, but also sued the Eighth Route Army and Yu Xuezhong for their tricks, killing two birds with one stone. After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, he knew that the chairman of the committee still had important business, so he stood up and saluted, and left with Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard.

After Shen Honglie left, Chiang Kai-shek's voice seemed a little steep: "I can't tolerate Jian anymore!" If this continues, the Republic of China will not be destroyed, but will also be destroyed! Respectfully, tell me, how can we limit the expansion of the Eighth Route Army? ”

He Yingqin was the No. 2 person in the Central Army, and Chiang Kai-shek naturally had to ask him first.

He Yingqin stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses, and said a little excitedly: "The problem is an old problem, and it is not Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu-Anhui border area, and southern Anhui, everywhere is expanding power. The northern Xiangchuan region was not negotiated when the Red Army was reorganized, and it was a legacy problem, and it still threatens the peace of the Chengdu Plain. The slogan of uniting in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is actually using the War of Resistance to grab land and recruit troops. What is particularly infuriating is that they fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in the front, but ran behind enemy lines to grow up and occupy land. The most troubled one is Liu Yimin's department. I dare to assert that if you don't look at Liu Yimin's bravery, repeated military exploits, and the shining coat of the invincible god of war, he will definitely be the number one general who will compete with us in the future. For this person, we must not only look at his achievements, but to see his harm to the party-state, we must take precautions and plan early! The Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee had already made a decision to prevent the Communists, limit the Communists, and dissolve the Communists, but because the spearhead of the attack had been directed at the Nationalist Government, we were unable to deal with the expansion. Now the war situation in Central China is stable, but the Japanese army in South China is again stretching its fists. Once the situation in South China stabilizes, there should be no hesitation in restricting the activities of dissident parties. ”

This He Yingqin, Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to say a specific method, but he came to a tirade! I heard Chiang Kai-shek say anxiously: "Don't care about South China, there is Bai Jiansheng in Guilin camp, and the Japanese army can't turn the sky upside down!" Let's talk about the specific question of how to control the situation in Shandong. ”

He Yingqin said: "There are many ways to calm the anger of the chairman of the committee. Now is the opportunity. Liu Yimin dug a pit and asked Yu Xuezhong's troops to attract the Japanese army with a counterattack, and wiped out the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army. The Japanese army will definitely not suffer a dumb loss, and will definitely gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress Liu Yimin's department. And Liu Yimin will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of Lunan to sweep through Lunan with his troops, and connect the Luxi, Southwest Luxi, and Taixi base areas of the Eighth Route Army with the Yimen G Mountain Area, so as to expand the strategic room for maneuver in order to deal with the possible heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. That's when our chance came. The first is to order Yu Xuezhong's department, the New Fourth Division, and the Lunan Prefecture to quickly control the Lunan Mountains, so that Liu Yimin's forces must not retreat to the Lunan Mountains at will, and let them go to the Japanese army. Whether it is Liu Yimin who hit the Japanese army hard or the Japanese army who hit Liu Yimin's department hard, it's all good. Second, in the name of the Central Military Commission, it is necessary to immediately reorganize the armed forces in various parts of Shandong, give them unified numbers, demarcate defense areas, and airdrop military expenditures so that they can grow on a large scale in accordance with the law. Now Shandong is full of people carrying guns and eating food, and in a short period of time, the armament of these places will swell, and 150,000 or more people will be restored. Third, it is necessary to rapidly strengthen Shandong's military strength. Didn't the chairman of the NPC National Committee summon Li Xianzhou last month? Let him speed up his actions and enter Shandong as soon as possible to join Yu Xuezhong's department. With the military strength of the three armies, plus 1 to 200,000 local armies, Liu Yimin's desire to dominate Shandong can only be a dream. ”

He Yingqin's words are methodical and reasonable, and they are all practical, and he really deserves to be the current chief adviser to the director of education of the Whampoa Military Academy, the commander of the first division, the commander of the First Army, the minister of military administration, and the commander of the Fourth Theater.

Zhang Zhizhong, the director of the first division of the attendant room, couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Speaking of the chairman, I think the suggestion of General Counsel General He is debatable. Since Liu Yimin's troops went north to resist the Japanese, they have been bent on killing the enemy, repeatedly supporting the main force in battle, and have not done anything harmful. The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Nanchang, and the Battle of Changsha, which has just ended, our army has benefited a lot from General Liu Yimin. The telegram sent by Yu Xuezhong made it clear that the spoils of the victory in Lunan were divided equally between the two sides, and General Liu Yimin also left Fei County as the base of Yu Xuezhong's department, and the Eighth Route Army treated the wounded of Yu Ministry, and let Yu Xuezhong's department recruit and train troops in Fei County, and also negotiated to let Yu Bu advance to the front line of Taierzhuang, where the Japanese army was extremely empty, and make up for it on the spot. These facts show that Liu Yimin's tutor was wholeheartedly united in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he also wholeheartedly united with the Xuezhong Department to defend Shandong. So far, there has been no conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Shandong, which is inseparable from General Liu Yimin's insistence on unity and resistance to the war. Think about it, with the great power of the instructor, if they want to disarm the premises armament, will they have the ability to resist? We are beyond the power of the rear, and I am afraid that we can only accept the fait accompli. Not to mention the armament of the premises, take Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and 57th Army as an example, it has not been well compensated, and when it entered Shandong, the two armies were only 40,000 horses, and after repeated fierce battles, it was about 25,000 men and horses at most, plus Wu Huawen's new fourth division, the total military strength was 30,000. If Liu Yimin hadn't looked at the face of the chairman of the committee and the overall situation of uniting in the War of Resistance, I am afraid that they would have been disarmed and driven out of Shandong by Liu Yimin's troops. If Shandong's armed forces provoke Liu Yimin's instructor, it is tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. Liu Yimin originally adhered to the unity of the War of Resistance, what will General Liu Yimin think about this? What will the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Instructor think? And, what will they do? Can we afford this? This thing must not be done, that is the relatives and the enemies are fast! ”

As soon as Zhang Zhizhong's words fell, the room was silent. Yes, Liu Yimin originally had no hostility towards the Xuezhong Ministry, if this was to take action against Liu Yimin's Ministry, wouldn't it be an excuse for Liu Yimin to provide force to solve the problem of the Xuezhong Ministry and those places?

Without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to reprimand Zhang Zhizhong, He Yingqin said indignantly: "The reason why we are sitting big is because the comrades in the party always have some confused understandings, and they are afraid of wolves and tigers, so that today's situation has been formed." Although Liu Yimin did not take the initiative to provoke the conflict with him, he suppressed the living space in Shandong and undermined the grassroots political power in Shandong, and his crime is unforgivable! Moreover, Liu Yimin's army was strong in combat, and he expanded his territory everywhere. Without him and his mentors, would the Suwan region be where it is today? Will Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei be where they are today? A woman's kindness will not solve the problem. ”

Dai Li stood up and first saluted Chiang Kai-shek: "Tell the principal, the students recently received a report that the loyal and righteous rescue activities behind the enemy line were repeatedly attacked by the New Fourth Army and suffered heavy losses. Commander Gu of the Third Theater divided the defense zones for all units of the New Fourth Army, but the department acted in defiance of the yang and the yin, and used the newly formed army to pretend to be the backbone army in the defense area. According to Shanxi, the relationship between the various units of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of Commander Yan tended to be tense, and there were signs of driving the decorations. Shandong comrades recounted that Yu Xuezhong's department was active. ”

After speaking, Dai Li went to the front and handed a folder to Wang Shihe, who had sent Shen Honglie back after leaving, and Wang Shihe presented it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek began to concentrate on Dai Li's account, and the office was quiet for a while.

After looking at it for a while, Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and said coldly: "Wenbai, your thoughts are very dangerous. They have never stopped their illusions of engaging in military movements, nor have they ever stopped fighting for land and pulling infantry teams. Anyone who turns a blind eye to harm or deliberately turns a blind eye is extremely dangerous, and it will destroy the party and the country! ”

Zhang Zhizhong is a relatively righteous person among the generals, and what he said just now was objectively speaking, and what he said was also the truth. Chiang Kai-shek can't listen, what can he do? However, Zhang Zhizhong is a master who dares to speak out, and he is not afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's coercion.

Zhang Zhizhong stood up and reaffirmed: "Chairman of the National Committee: I think everything should be done in a big way. Although the War of Resistance has now entered a new stage, it does not mean that we can rest easy. The Japanese army is still very strong, we need the Eighth Route Army to drag the Japanese army behind the enemy lines, and we need the elite army of the Eighth Route Army to wear down the Japanese army. As far as the KMT and the CPC are concerned, it is an indisputable fact that at present, cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will lead to two defeats. If the Eighth Route Army had not held back the Japanese North China Front, would we have been in the current situation? Therefore, I insist on my point of view and ask the Chairman to think twice. ”

Chiang Kai-shek at the top was stunned.

There is no way, Zhang Zhizhong is this temper, but he is very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. He was ordered to command the defense of Nanjing, and he fought very well. Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he couldn't bear to do anything to him, so he waved him down to study and comprehend the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee.

After Zhang Zhizhong left, He Guoguang began to speak.

He Guoguang and the dead Yang Yongtai were Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted military think tanks. Chiang Kai-shek's ability to subdue various warlords in Sichuan had a great deal to do with He Guoguang's strategy and wisdom. After the Red Army's Long March, Liu Yimin led his army to attack and occupy Chengdu, He Guoguang led an advisory group into Sichuan and set up a Chongqing camp in Chongqing, chairman of the Military Commission, with Gu Zhutong as the director of the camp, He Guoguang as the chief adviser, and Yang Yongtai as the secretary general, urging Liu Xiang and other Sichuan warlords to fight against the Red Army. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, He Guoguang stayed in Chongqing and was promoted to deputy director of the Chongqing camp. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government moved westward to Sichuan, and the Chongqing Xingying moved to Chengdu, renamed Chengdu Xingyuan, and He Guoguang was promoted to director and continued to undertake the task of comforting the generals of the Sichuan Army. After Liu Xiang died of illness, Chiang Kai-shek wanted He Guoguang to be the chairman of Sichuan Province, but was vetoed by the Sichuan army generals, and Wang Lingji even threatened that He Guoguang dared to take office and welcomed him with machine guns and artillery. The matter had no choice but to be abandoned.

He Guoguang was specially recruited back by Chiang Kai-shek this time, because Chiang Kai-shek wanted to summon Shen Honglie, and he must discuss the war in Shandong, and specially asked He Guoguang to come back to counsel the military aircraft.

After Shen Honglie finished telling Chiang Kai-shek just now, He Guoguang said angrily that Liu Yimin's heart could be punished. Now after calming down, I carefully pondered the words of He Yingqin and Zhang Zhizhong, and thought for a while, and then said: "Tell the chairman, I thought about it for a while, and I have some experience, so I will tell the chairman of the committee, please consider it." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and motioned for him to continue.
