Section 30 Zhongshan Ship (11)

After seeing Wu Chaoshu come in, Feng Yi didn't get up, just nodded to him, and Wu Chaoshu didn't care, and sat directly opposite him.

"The time is ripe." The first words Feng Yi said made Wu Chaoshu's face show excitement.

"Great, he's moving?" Wu Chaoshu picked up the flask and poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, I still need to put some pressure on him, and I need you to do it." Feng Wei said softly.

"How?" Wu Chaoshu asked.

"Everyone knows about your banquet for the Russians today, and tomorrow you will invite the people from the rector's office, as well as his adjutant, and you will say ............ at the table." Feng Yi's voice lowered.

"You're not going to show up yet?" Wu Chaoshu asked strangely.

"This step is very critical, and it can't be up to me, he'll be suspicious." Feng Wei said flatly.

Wu Chaoshu closed his eyes, and quickly re-walked the plan in his heart, feeling still uncertain, he was a little uneasy and said: "I feel still unsure, will he believe it?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not, but it's a rare opportunity, so let's give it a try." Feng Wei said expressionlessly: "Tomorrow, there is a ship carrying weapons from Soviet Russia to Huangpu, with this condition, it can increase our chances of winning by three points, and the rest can only obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Wu Chaoshu trembled, feeling a trace of sadness, planning for so long, the odds are still so small,...., stunned for a while, he was unwilling to drink the wine in the glass: "Can't you wait any longer?" We may only have this one chance. ”

Feng Wei was silent, his eyes stared blankly at the picture of the lady on the wall, and he said for a long time: "Our time is running out, Feng Yuxiang will not be able to stand for long, as soon as Feng Yuxiang is defeated, the Russians will turn to support him on the Northern Expedition, and the contradiction between him and Ji Jiashan will fade, so we must try, I have calculated that this matter will not be successful, and the impact on the two of us will not be great, all the judgments are made by himself, we just guide him." As long as the two of us don't show up, we will have a chance in the future. ”

Wu Chaoshu looked at him solemnly, finally nodded, and then left without saying a word, Feng Yi took the wine in front of him with both hands and made a toast gesture to the empty seat opposite, and then drank it all.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and never returns.

Their plan was not perfect, and in the most crucial part, the reason for Chiang Kai-shek's action was not sufficient.

But an accident helped them a lot.

The law and order situation on the water surface of Guangzhou is very poor, and there are often water bandits and sea bandits who loot passing ships, and the composition of these water bandits and boat bandits is very complicated, some are scattered soldiers, some are gang members, and there are part-time fishermen, usually merchant ships and passenger ships are their targets, they roar and gather when they commit crimes, and after the crime, they either hide in Hong Kong or hide in Macao, and the successive political axes in Guangdong have not been able to eradicate these people. It had no choice but to step up patrols in key waters and send warships to escort important ships.

It was also when Juxiande's conspiracy entered the final stage, a group of bandits robbed the Ding'an ship, a foreign ship bound for Guangzhou from Shanghai, the ship was moored in the upper reaches of Huangpu waiting for rescue, which made Kong Qingjun, director of the staff of the Huangpu Military Academy, order the Huangpu Military Academy to send a ship to protect, but the Huangpu Military Academy had no ship to send, so he contacted the Guangzhou Office of the Military Academy, and Ouyang Zhong, director of the Guangzhou Office, personally went to the Navy Bureau to negotiate, because Li Zhilong was not in the Navy Bureau, Zou Yi, chief of the Naval Operations Section, had to promise to send two warships to Huangpu and be dispatched by the Huangpu Military Academy. But Zou Yi's life must be agreed by the director Li Zhilong, Ouyang Zhong went to Wende Building to find Li Zhilong, but Li Zhilong was still not at home, only his wife Pan Huiqin was there, Ouyang Zhong had to leave a letter, saying that he was ordered by President Jiang to send two warships to Huangpu, and after listening to the principal's dispatch, he left Zou Yi's letter. After Li Zhilong returned, he read Ouyang Zhongyu Zou Yi's letter, and ordered the Zhongshan ship to sail to Huangpu.

After the Zhongshan ship arrived in Huangpu, the captain Zhang Tong reported to the military academy, and the secretary general of the military academy, Ji Fang, sent his adjutant Huang Zhenwu to contact him, and then reported to Deng Yanda, the chief of education, Deng Yanda had not heard of the incident beforehand, but at this moment he heard that it was on Chiang Kai-shek's order, so he ordered the Zhongshan ship to stay in Huangpu and wait for orders.

As a result, a normal warship dispatch, with the cooperation of various factors, finally evolved into the Zhongshan ship incident, which affected the development of modern history.

On the afternoon of the 19th, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek returned home, Chen Jieru stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to Whampoa today?" ”

"Yes, what do you ask for?" Chiang Kai-shek was strange, Chen Jie was young and playful, and rarely asked him these things.

"Going with Mr. Wang?" Chen Jieru did not answer Chiang Kai-shek's question first, but continued to ask.

"No, he didn't ask me out." Chiang Kai-shek didn't care, and replied casually.

"But Madame Wang said that her husband wanted to go with you, and asked you to board the boat at that pier." Chen Jieru only then expressed the doubts in her heart, Chen Bijun looked down on Chiang Kai-shek, and was arrogant in front of Chen Jieru, Chen Jieru was very disgusted with her.

Chiang Kai-shek wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jieru, who added: "Mrs. Wang called five or six times today, all asking the same thing, when did she care about you so much, I think you had better not go to Whampoa today, then don't go." ”

In the past, Chen Jieru didn't care about politics, and occasionally asked because of curiosity, but Chiang Kai-shek's two assassinations in Guangzhou frightened her, so she gradually began to pay attention to the things around Chiang Kai-shek, and of course Chiang Kai-shek's troubles in the near future could not hide from her.

"No, we have to have a meeting in the evening." Chiang Kai-shek shook his head after thinking about it and said.

"Then reschedule, I'll call them." Chen Jieru went to make a phone call as she spoke, and not long after the call, Chiang Kai-shek was changing his clothes when the phone rang again.

Chen Jieru picked up the phone, only listened to one sentence and said, "You wait." After speaking, he handed the phone to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek took the phone, and it was Li Zhilong calling.

"Principal, I'm Li Zhilong, the Soviet Russian adviser proposed to visit the Zhongshan ship, if the principal is fine, I will order the Zhongshan ship to return to Guangzhou." Li Zhilong's voice was full of enthusiasm, he promised Zhuang Jihua that he would always be attentive, hoping to restore relations with Chiang Kai-shek, and now that there was an opportunity, of course he was not willing to give up.

"Drive back? Drive back, drive back, where is the Zhongshan ship now? Chiang Kai-shek asked seemingly casually.

"In Whampoa, I went yesterday." Li Zhilong was obviously stunned on the phone, wasn't it Chiang Kai-shek's order? How he didn't know. But he didn't allow him to ask, "Oh, then you can drive back." Chiang Kai-shek hung up the phone after speaking.

The Zhongshan ship went to Whampoa, and went to Whampoa without my order, what is going on? Why don't you tell me, but you have to ask me for instructions when you come back? The more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he felt that the vague worry of the previous days was gradually becoming possible.

"Today, you don't go anywhere, just at home." Chen Jieru looked at the pensive Chiang Kai-shek, and she also felt fear.

When Chiang Kai-shek was full of doubts, Chen Lifu came in from outside, he came to send an intelligence summary, Chiang Kai-shek temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, affectionately beckoned him to sit, Chen Lifu sat down and wanted to stop talking, Chiang Kai-shek was a little strange and asked him what was the matter.

"Third uncle, are you going to Russia?" As soon as Chen Lifu opened his mouth, Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback.

"Nothing." Chiang Kai-shek categorically denied it.

"But I heard that you are going to Russia, your tickets and passports are ready, and you will leave in a few days." Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's denial, Chen Lifu immediately felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Where did you hear that?" That doubt came out of Chiang Kai-shek's mind again.

"Wu Chaoshu was there, he said that he invited the Soviet Russian adviser to dinner yesterday, and the Soviet Russian adviser revealed it during the banquet." Chen Lifu replied.

Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly terrified, he thought about it, called Hu Jing'an in and said to him, "Please come over Mr. Feng." ”

Feng Wei lived in Chiang Kai-shek's house, and in order to avoid suspicion, he lived on the other side of the villa with the lieutenants of the guard. After a while, Feng Yi came, after he listened to the introduction of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Lifu, he was very excited in his heart, he didn't expect that the original concerns were so coincidentally made up, it was seamless, he strongly suppressed his emotions, pretended to ponder for a moment and thought about the wording before saying to Chiang Kai-shek: "It seems that some people want to follow the example of the principal, and imitate the principal's measures to deal with Wang Dongcheng!" ”

Feng Wei's words made Chiang Kai-shek suddenly feel like he was clear, and he could get a reasonable explanation by connecting everything together; When the Zhongshan ship arrived in Huangpu, he was going to Huangpu for a meeting, where he kidnapped him onto the Zhongshan ship and then sent him to the Soviet Russian ship; This is also why Chen Bijun repeatedly confirmed whether he would go to Huangpu or not, and after he decided not to go to Huangpu, thinking that the conspiracy had been exposed, Li Zhilong deliberately asked him for instructions to transfer back to the Zhongshan ship, which was to destroy the evidence.

After Chiang Kai-shek figured it out, he was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Niang Xipi! Wang Jingwei wants to use the knife. Niang Xipi! ”

Feng Yi took the opportunity to say, "Headmaster, we can't sit still. ”

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, his mind was very confused now, Feng Yi was a little anxious, he opened his mouth and said: "When you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it, principal!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek knew what Feng Yi meant, and after figuring it out, his first reaction was to transfer troops, but then he denied this idea, the main force of the First Army was in Chaoshan, although the Second Division was in Guangzhou, Shilong still had the newly established 20th Division, but Li Jishen's troops also had two regiments in Guangzhou, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide's troops were close at hand, and he might not be able to win if he really wanted to fight, and more importantly, he had been preaching revolution, so the First Army was deeply influenced by revolutionary ideas[***] will rise up and make trouble.

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and felt that he still couldn't do it, he sighed and said in great pain: "Let's go to Shantou." Ah Feng, if you stay in Guangzhou, they won't be able to deal with a woman's family. ”

Feng Wei was shocked: "The principal must not go to Shantou, he can't hide!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated again, but finally said: "I'll go first, and Lifu will go with me." ”

Chiang Kai-shek didn't want Chen Lifu to stay in Guangzhou, he was worried that Chen Lifu would be implicated, Feng Wei was so angry that he stomped his feet, and he shouted at Chiang Kai-shek: "You went to Shantou, can you come back?" ”

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's mind was already confused, and he didn't care to think about it: "Although I discovered their conspiracy, others did not know about it, and if I transferred troops to form a rebellion, they would have more reasons." ”

"It's better to stay here and wait for them than to hide in Shantou, Shantou is by no means a safe haven." Feng Wei resolutely refused to let him go, he didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to be so weak, and he didn't dare to resist with the knife on his neck.

Chen Lifu also said: "Why should we leave, third uncle, you have been revolutionary for so many years, why should they deal with you, is there anything wrong with the Northern Expedition?" Is it wrong to insist on the Prime Minister's thinking? Even if they are dealt with, they are at fault, is it the right official university? ”

Chen Lifu's words touched Chiang Kai-shek, he stopped, thought repeatedly, Feng Yi and Chen Lifu did not speak again, they sat on the side and quietly waited for Chiang Kai-shek's decision.

After swallowing the last rays of the setting sun in the night, Chiang Kai-shek stood up and said, "Call Liu Zhi." ”

Feng Wei was ecstatic in his heart, of course he knew what this meant, Chiang Kai-shek would never call Liu Zhi to drink tea. He hurried over to the telephone and picked it up, his hands shaking slightly.

More than an hour later, Liu Zhi rushed to Chiang Kai-shek's house in Dongshan, and as soon as he entered the door, Chiang Kai-shek said to him: "[***] conspiracy to launch a rebellion, I want to put down the rebellion, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Liu Zhi was shocked and didn't have time to think about it, and immediately replied: "The officers and soldiers of the Second Division will always follow the principal and be loyal to the principal. ”

"Good!" Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "You go back to the army now, immediately impose martial law, arrest all the [***] members in the army, transfer the troops into the city at ten o'clock at night, first surround and disarm the workers' pickets, send troops to take over the Zhongshan ship, surround the Soviet Russian adviser station, disarm all their guards, surround Wendelou ,...., encircle Wendelou,............, occupy Guanyin Mountain with a regiment, and establish a position." Headquarters is located at the Mint. ”

After Liu Zhi left, Chiang Kai-shek said to Chen Lifu: "Immediately send a report to He Yingqin, ordering him to detain all the [***] members of the First Army, and the troops will enter a state of combat readiness." In addition, Qian Dajun of the 20th Division was ordered to detain the [***] members of the station, and the troops immediately moved closer to Guangzhou. All telegrams were urgent. ”

Later, Chiang Kai-shek called Ouyang Chrome and Chen Zhaoying and ordered them to carry out the task of arresting Li Zhilong.

In the early morning of the twentieth, in the quiet streets of Guangzhou, the sleeping citizens did not notice the groups of soldiers walking on the streets, the soldiers were moving quietly and quickly, no one spoke, only the rustle of footsteps, this was destined to be a sleepless night, and everything would be different when the sky was bright.
