Deng Yanda then told everyone in detail about Huang Qixiang's suggestions and his judgment of Zhuang Jihua, as well as their discussions in Germany, Huang Qixiang only then understood why Deng Yanda did not approve of contacting Zhuang Jihua, and in eight months, he had already said everything that should be said and done.

After Deng Yanda finished speaking, everyone didn't speak, and after a while, he sighed seriously and said: "The Cultural Revolution is a maverick, and when I first entered the military academy, I just felt that he was a little different, and the further back I went, the more I realized that his ideas actually had some truth." Let's just talk about the three laws he advocated at the beginning, if those three laws had really been formulated and enforced, I am afraid that there would have been much less criticism of the workers' and peasants' movement, and there would have been no rupture of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the Northern Expedition would not have failed. ”

"No, it will fail," Deng Yanda shook his head and said: "Zhengcheng, Chiang Kai-shek wants to monopolize power and implement the practice of reading talents, which is the real reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition and the breakdown of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." ”

"The choice of life is right, the Kuomintang has been damaged by Chiang Kai-shek, has compromised with imperialism, needs to be reinvented, Chiang Kai-shek must step down, only then can the national revolution be restored." Huang Qixiang said solemnly.

"I've thought a lot about it over the years," said seriously and slowly, he lived in seclusion in Lushan, but did not give up the study of the current situation and the reflection on the Great Revolution, the vigorous Great Revolution failed so quickly, and the Kuomintang took power so quickly [***] made him can't help but reflect: "The reasons for the events of the year are very complicated, now Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, one main army and one main government, their combined strength is very strong, and there is a judgment of the Cultural Revolution that is very accurate, that is, the strength of Huangpu is weaker than Chiang Kai-shek, On the whole, you are weaker than the combined forces of Jiang Wang, choose your life, I suggest that you and Hu Hanmin, Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu and them eliminate their previous suspicions, and unite with each other, in order to promote the Liangguang Revolution, and the uprising of the 19th Route Army can be realized, although Yu Xing (that is, Huang Qixiang) is from the Fourth Army, but the 19th Route Army is Chen Mingshu's old army, and his words are much stronger than yours. ”

Huang Qixiang didn't say anything, what he said seriously was the truth, and he also put forward the proposal of reconciliation with Hu Hanmin, Li Jishen, and Chen Mingshu, but Deng Yanda and Tan Pingshan both expressed their opposition, they believed that Hu Hanmin was an old rightist, Li Jishen openly followed Chiang Kai-shek in April 15, and betrayed the prime minister's three major policies should be the object of the revolution, and to unite with them is to compromise with the counterrevolution, which is absolutely impossible. Now that he seriously reiterated his original suggestion, he thought that Deng Yanda would immediately refute it.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yanda nodded: "Yuxing also mentioned it before, I didn't approve of it at the time, but it seems that his suggestion is correct, now the primary problem is to oppose Jiang, the power of unity is greater, Yuxing, I think you don't want to go to Fuzhou first, go talk to Li Jishen and them first, if the talk is good, I will come forward to talk to them, and everyone will unite to oppose Jiang." ”

Huang Qixiang understood that the recent large-scale raid had caused great losses to the third party, and Deng Yanda had to give up the possibility of reading Li to lead the anti-Chiang uprising. This kind of change is what he welcomes, so he nodded and agreed, Li Jishen is actually in Hong Kong, and he knows where he lives, but everyone is estranged and does not interact with each other.

Serious then said: "Another suggestion from Yuxing is also very good, and it should be contacted by Zhuang Wenge." Choosing a student, one thing you have to admit is that Zhuang Wenge has a great influence in the Whampoa department, especially in the first and second phases, when he reorganized the Sichuan Army, most of the classmates in these two periods were his subordinates, and his influence was not much worse than you and me. ”

Deng Yanda didn't know this, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to persuade Zhuang Jihua again and again, not to mention that Zhuang Jihua had a life-saving grace with him, but Zhuang Jihua's attitude was already there, and it was useless to contact him.

"But he will definitely not participate in the anti-Chiang movement." Deng Yanda said a little irritably: "Can you convince him?" ”

"You can't do it, how can I be," said seriously and lightly, in the Whampoa Military Academy, there are probably only three people who can persuade Zhuang Jihua, the dead party representative Liao Zhongkai, the principal Chiang Kai-shek, and one is probably Deng Yanda, he didn't count the later director of the Political Department, in his opinion, he came too late, and had little impact on the first batch of students: "However, have you thought about it, Zhuang Jihua's wings are gradually plump, even if you can't win him to oppose Chiang, you can also fight for his neutrality; And if the anti-Chiang is successful, students loyal to Chiang Kai-shek need someone to stabilize, and Zhuang Jihua is the best candidate. ”

This last point they never thought about, Deng Yanda was finally moved, Chiang Kai-shek's strength is very strong, in Chiang Kai-shek's system is gradually rising Chen Cheng faction, Hu Zongnan faction, Zhuang Jihua faction, He Zhenhan faction, among which the greatest potential is probably Zhuang Jihua, he has a strong influence on Hu Zongnan faction and He Zhenhan faction, and the Whampoa students in Chen Cheng's faction also have influence. Zhuang Jihua was arrested in Wuhan that year, and Zheng Zheng and Deputy Division Commander Chen Cheng planned to lead the 23rd Division to Wuhan, but when the news of Zhuang Jihua's arrest came, the officers below were in an uproar, saying that even Zhuang Jihua could not tolerate them, let alone them; Then the people who escaped from Wuhan preached everywhere that Wuhan was purging the people of the First Military Department and the Whampoa Military Academy, and that the Wuhan branch was full of graduates of the former Whampoa Military Academy. This incident left a deep impression on Zheng, and from then on, he knew that Zhuang Jihua's influence in the Huangpu department had really surpassed many Huangpu teachers.

"I think Zhengcheng is right, we should send someone to contact during the Cultural Revolution." Ji Fang first expressed his approval, and Tan Pingshan immediately expressed his support, and the attitude of the two of them prompted Deng Yanda to make up his mind.

"And who's going to go?" Although Deng Yanda raised the question, his eyes looked serious, and among the people present except him, I am afraid that only seriously suitable for this task is seriously suited.

"Zhengcheng, this is none other than you." Ji Fang immediately said to the serious.

"Yes, Zhengcheng, you can't shirk anymore, except for choosing a life, only you are the most suitable." Huang Qixiang also instigated.

After thinking about it seriously, he smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll go, but only the four of you know about this, and if there is a fifth person who knows, then I can only give up." Then he explained: "Chiang Kai-shek can delegate such an important matter to the Cultural Revolution, and he must be surrounded by surveillance, besides..., I have heard that many arrested members of the Third Party have signed a letter of self-confession, so if the slightest leak of the incident is a big thing, it will not be possible." ”

"We understand," Deng Yanda looked at Huang Qixiang, Tan Pingshan, and Ji Fang and said, "This matter is an absolute secret of the party, and it is forbidden to spread it to the outside world." ”

Huang Qixiang nodded and replied, "This is natural. ”

Later, Deng Yanda handed over the task of contacting Feng Yuxiang in the north to Ji Fang, and the task of going to Nanyang to raise funds to Tan Pingshan, but he found a room to sleep on his own without waiting for them to finish their discussion, but he knew that from this moment on, he was a member of the third party.

In fact, the day after they discussed and contacted Zhuang Jihua, the report forwarded by He Yingqin was sent to Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and Chiang Kai-shek was a little confused and a little uneasy after reading it. Chiang Kai-shek was very skeptical. Secondly, the allocation of funds from the southwest development fund, since He Yingqin proposed it like this, it means that Zhuang Jihua has agreed, why would he agree to such a request? Did He Yingqin have any promises to him? Third, why do you need to equip the 35th Army and the 29th Army, and what connections does Yan Xishan have with He Yingqin in private?

Chiang Kai-shek was calm for a long time, he didn't dare to make this judgment easily, he called Dai Li first. After Dai Li returned from North China, he set up a special training class in Nanjing to train secret service personnel, and only arrived in Lushan a few days ago.

Dai Li thought that Chiang Kai-shek was going to ask about Feng Yuxiang in Zhangjiakou, so he specially brought Zhangjiakou's information with him, and after the armistice in Rehe, the situation in Zhangjiakou changed greatly, and the signs of the activities of the Communist Party became more and more obvious, often organizing strikes, marches, and rallies, and even shouted slogans to defeat Feng Yuxiang at some meetings, which was the same as in Wuhan and Guangzhou. Therefore, he was very sure that it would be a matter of time before Feng Yuxiang broke up with the Communist Party.

But after seeing Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Li knew that what Chiang Kai-shek wanted to know was the situation in Beiping, which was beyond his expectations, and he thought about it before he said carefully: "After the armistice agreement was signed, I said that my arrogance was not as big as before, but there were still many demonstrations against the armistice agreement, and the Beiping military police regiment and police station also arrested many people. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face did not move at all, Dai Li was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek wanted, so he said tentatively: "In terms of the army, the casualties of all armies in the Battle of the Great Wall were very large, and all departments were reorganizing their troops and recruiting and enriching personnel, and they were very grateful to the central government for supporting them to rebuild their troops." ”

"What's Yan Xishan's movements?" Chiang Kai-shek asked slowly.

Dai Li immediately replied: "Taiyuan.... ”

"I'm not talking about Taiyuan, I'm asking Beiping, did Yan Xishan send someone to Beiping?" Chiang Kai-shek interrupted Dai Li's words and asked very seriously.

Dai Li's forehead was sweating, for so many years, he always envied Zhuang Jihua for being able to sway freely in front of Chiang Kai-shek, but he never could, every time Chiang Kai-shek was serious, he was nervous.

"Except for Xu Yongchang, no one else was found, but our people noticed that Chairman He had been walking around with Song Zheyuan and Shang Zhen more frequently recently, Zhuang Jihua accompanied General Seckert to Tianjin, and found nothing else abnormal, by the way, Du Yuming went to the Great Wall and recruited a group of volunteers to join the escort team, with a total number of about 2,000 people, and he also gave the volunteers a reward of about two million." Dai Li said while recalling the situation report of Beiping Station.

Chiang Kai-shek bowed slightly, this must have been instructed by Zhuang Jihua, but it doesn't seem to be anything, Zhuang Jihua's habit is like this, but what will He Yingqin talk about with Song Zheyuan and Shang Zhen? Reorganization? Could it be that He Yingqin's promise to them, Zhuang Jihua only agreed to it out of support for the teacher? Will that be the case?
