Chapter 629 Lao Tzu was the first to not let him go

Liu Yimin knew that the news of Wang Jingwei's escape was very late, and that was already after Wang Jingwei arrived in Hanoi and Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumima issued his third statement.

Liu Yimin, who was familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, knew that Wang Jingwei had fled after reading the transcript of the third statement of the guards sent by He Xinghua. I was extremely depressed, and I couldn't imagine that I would lead my troops to fight hard and achieve such a great record, but Wang Jingwei still couldn't see the future of the Anti-Japanese War and fled to Hanoi. His escape must have fallen headlong into the arms of the Japanese to establish a puppet government. Then it is to form a puppet army, recruit and accept rebellions, and repeat the story in history of the surrender of troops like a tide and generals like Mao, and in the end it is very likely that the farce of saving the country will continue to occur, forming a situation in which the three forces of Japan, puppet and stubborn will deal with the Eighth Route Army together.

Liu Yimin regretted a little, and felt that at that time, he should not have just reminded the central government to inform Chiang Kai-shek of Gu Shoufu's confession, but should have informed Wang Jingwei's special envoys Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping of the secret negotiations with the Japanese army and the signing of the "Chongguangtang Secret Treaty". But after thinking about it, I laughed, history has changed so much, and I am not sure whether Wang Jingwei will surrender to the enemy, how can I know whether Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping will sign the "Chongguangtang Secret Treaty" with the Japanese army? There is no evidence, that is, he said that Chiang Kai-shek would believe it? It was not only Chiang Kai-shek, but everyone else too, who would have thought that the vice president of the Kuomintang would defect?

Liu Yimin, who was depressed, knew that the next thing must be exactly the same as in history, no matter how much he wanted, it would be in vain, and some garbage would always be eliminated by history. People's fate is chosen by themselves, and no one can do anything about it. The most crucial thing at the moment is to launch a winter offensive to defeat the heavy encirclement and suppression that the little devils are about to launch, and to win development space and time for the Shandong base area. When the production of munitions is on the right track, the newly expanded troops have completed their training, and there are enough soldiers to supplement the main force, they are still afraid of little devils and birds

Liu Yimin immediately ordered the main forces to end their rest and recuperate and enter a state of readiness. The special combat teams that were originally assigned to fight in three directions were withdrawn to Jinan for emergency replenishment and recuperation.

On December 29, Wang Jingwei published a telegram and openly surrendered to the enemy.

Liu Yimin was furious, and immediately called Jingjing and "Wen Wei Po" reporter Huang Wei to publish a conversation entitled "The Number One Traitor Wang Jingwei".

Liu Yimin pointed out: "Wang Jingwei, vice president of the Kuomintang, ran away and went to Hanoi. What was he doing in Hanoi? He went to wagging his tail and begging for mercy from the Japanese invaders, betraying the country to seek glory, and he went to be a traitor.

Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been fought, there have been many traitors of all kinds in China. In the northeast, there are the puppet Manchukuo emperor Puyi and his lackeys, in Beiping there are Wang Kemin, Qi Kuiyuan and their lackeys, and in Nanjing there are Liang Hongzhi and his lackeys. There are other traitors, such as Yin Rugeng, Zhao Qi, Ma Liang, and so on, who were shot by the Northern Army. These traitors, big and small, have a common problem, that is, they themselves are the remnants of warlords or shameless politicians, shameless literati, and even some hooligans and gangsters. Although such traitors also worked hard for their Japanese masters, the Japanese looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts because they had bad personal conduct, extremely poor social image, had no appeal, and could not play the role of the Japanese army's dream. So, the Japanese army aimed at Wang Jingwei, the first place, 18-year-old who went to Japan to study, one of the founders of the League, the spiritual leader of the Kuomintang, who does not smoke, does not gamble, and has a good image, and directed this ugly drama of Wang Jingwei's escape. Trying to support Wang Jingwei as the emperor and confront our anti-Japanese army and people. ”

Huang Wei asked: "General Liu, among these traitors you mentioned, the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Pu Yi turned out to be the Manchu Emperor, and he should not belong to the warlord remnants, nor to the shameless politicians, literati and hooligans. He must have played a role in deceiving the people and assisting the Japanese invasion, right? ”

Liu Yimin pouted: "What kind of thing is Pu Yi?" It's just the last emperor who is barely breathing. He just wants to be a hooligan and doesn't have that ability, and an impotence patient still wants to use the power of the Japanese to sell the country for glory and restore the feudal monarchy, which is simply a fool's dream. Miss reporter, I can boldly predict that Pu Yi and his traitorous royal family members who surrendered to the Japanese will inevitably become prisoners awaiting trial. ”

Jingjing and Huang Wei are both yellow flower girls, and when they heard Liu Yimin say that Pu Yi was an impotence patient, no one knew what it meant, and it took a long time to understand, and they immediately blushed and bowed their heads to record.

Liu Yimin continued: "The fundamental reason why Wang Jingwei dared to respond to the call of his Japanese master and betray the country and the nation was that he was frightened by Japan's aggression, thinking that the disparity in strength between China and Japan would lead to the defeat and death of the War of Resistance. Therefore, he conspired with the Japanese and committed treason to the enemy. According to me, Wang Jingwei is a short-sighted person who loses the name of his intelligence. They only saw the strength of the Japanese invaders in front of them, and could not see the war potential of China's vast land and large population; We only see the temporary victory of the Japanese aggressors, and we cannot see the reality that our army is getting stronger and stronger the more we fight, the people are gradually awakening, and all parties are closely united; We can only see the aggression and expansion of fascism, and we cannot see the rolling tide of anti-aggression, anti-colonialism, struggle for independence, and struggle for freedom that is emerging in the world. It is precisely because of this that Wang Jingwei, a weak-willed and power-hungry guy, will throw himself into the arms of the Japanese invaders. As a matter of fact, Wang Ching-wei did not know that the main reason why the Japanese Government readjusted its China policy and changed the total destruction of China to the pretext of subduing the Chinese Government and playing the pretext of peace talks was not for the sake of good-neighborliness and friendship, for the sake of common defense against communism, and for the sake of economic cooperation, but because the Japanese rulers had already realized that it was impossible for them to defeat China, and that the longer the war dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Japan. In the end, there was only one way waiting for the Japanese, and that was to surrender unconditionally. ”

Liu Yimin paused slightly, glanced out the window, and seemed to think again. But he quickly retracted his gaze and said, "This is by no means my false words and threats, but the truth." Let me give you just a simple example. At the beginning of the war, when the Japanese army carried out the Pingjin operation, a brigade dared to pursue and even defeat a division, and there were only 8 Japanese soldiers stationed in a county town. At that time, as soon as they heard that the Japanese were coming, whether it was the army or the people, they fled as soon as they heard the news. Now look at it again, the little devils in North China don't say that a few people occupy a county town, and a few divisions and regiments are gathered together, and they don't dare to attack easily. Why? Because the weapons and equipment of our army have improved from the capture, the soldiers have gained experience in real combat, and the masses have united and know how to deal with the devils. Let me give you another example, at the beginning of the war, our country had three million troops, and after a year and a half of fighting, our army suffered heavy losses, but it still had three million troops. The Japanese army, 17 divisions before the war, has now expanded several times, and the total strength has greatly increased, but after a battle of Wuhan, it failed to form a squadron to eliminate a division. This shows that our army, from the general command to the grassroots units, has learned war from war. In the future, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to fight such a large-scale war as the Battle of Wuhan, they cannot afford to fight, and even if they do, they may not be able to win. ”

Jingjing likes Liu Yimin to the core, she likes to listen to Liu Yimin's heroic voice the most, and likes to see Liu Yimin's demeanor and bearing pointing out the country. It's a pity that Liu Yimin is divorced and married again, and the object is still not her. When she is free, she is often alone and silently weeps. Therefore, when Liu Yimin stopped to look for a cigarette to smoke, he quickly poured Liu Yimin a glass of water, and blamed him for being disobedient and smoking is harmful to his health.

Liu Yimin smiled slightly and continued: "Wang Jingwei misjudged the situation, he must think that as long as he plays the banner of peace, he can win the approval of the whole country. This is Wang Jingwei's wishful thinking, he is too naïve, sitting in the office all day long, empty-headed, and thinking that he is very smart. We asked him, have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever seen the Japanese army slaughter villages and destroy households? Do you know how deep the hatred between the Chinese people and the Japanese army is? It is precisely because countless soldiers shed blood and sacrificed themselves on the front line that Wang Jingwei was able to hide in the rear and talk loudly and advocate peace talks. If his family were also in the occupied area, his son was shot dead, and his daughter and wife were raped and killed, would he still advocate peace talks? In the final analysis, this kind of person is missing a lesson, that is, a lesson in fighting the Japanese army face to face. ”

Wang Jingwei's second wishful thinking was that he could use local forces to set up a separate government for negotiations with Japan. This is also Wang Jingwei's wishful thinking. After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, Chairman Chiang made a speech in Lushan, saying that there was no distinction between north and south, and no distinction between old and young, all of whom had the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. Since then, the whole of China has formed a situation of unity to resist Japan. In today's China, there is no difference between the central army and the local army, and they are all Chinese anti-Japanese armies. The Eighth Route Army crisscrossed behind enemy lines and achieved great results. The Jin Sui army held on to Shanxi and experienced fierce battles. Since the Gui Army entered the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been fully displayed, and General Li Zongren has become a world-famous strategist and a famous anti-Japanese general. The Seventh Army of Steel is famous and majestic, standing in Dabie Mountain, which discourages the Japanese army. The Sichuan army defended Teng County and became famous in the first battle. Before Chairman Liu Xiang died of illness, he left behind the last words of the magnificent mountains and rivers that the devil would not leave China for a day, and the Sichuan army would not return to Sichuan for a day. When it comes to Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou, and Brother Chuanjun, which of the entire Chinese people does not praise and which does not praise? The Yunnan army defended Xuzhou, and the army commander and below fought with the Japanese army, and the spirit of sacrifice could show the sun and the moon. Chairman Long Yun and Commander-in-Chief Lu Han were both wise men who were dedicated to the War of Resistance and loyal to the country. There is also the Guangdong Army, since the 19th Route Army Anti-Japanese War, the Guangdong Army has been standing at the forefront of the Anti-Japanese War. The Songhu Anti-Japanese War and the Battle of Wuhan, which battle lacked the heroic and good soldiers of the Guangdong army? Now, the Japanese invaders have occupied Guangzhou, and the Fourth War Zone is preparing to attack the Japanese army anytime and anywhere to recover the famous city in the south. Even the Guizhou army, which was relatively weak, never lagged behind in the resistance against Japan. In the Battle of Nanjing, the Guizhou Army was the last force to leave the city. Their tenacity and their struggle are all in the hearts of the Chinese people. In such a situation, will Wang Jingwei's attempt to unite local forces to form a government succeed? Then again, which turtle son dares to run with Wang Jingwei, the first thing Lao Tzu does not let him go and waits for him is the fate of Yin Rugeng and Ma Liang."

Wang Jingwei's third wishful thinking was to rely on the support of the Japanese to integrate the puppet Provisional Government of the Republic of China in North China and the puppet Restoration Government in Nanjing, and establish a brand-new, nationwide traitor government, and then under the protection of the Japanese bayonets, under the banner of peace and national salvation, recruit rebels, increase strength, confront the Nationalist Government, help the Japanese eliminate the squadron, and realize his traitor proposition of peaceful salvation. This point must be taken seriously by the Government and the armed forces. Wang Jingwei is a person, he has no other skills, but he is good at demagoguery. is obviously going to be a traitor, but in the name of restoring national sovereignty, preserving the northern provinces, and preventing the Communist Party**. Let the fuck fart he said so nicely, let the Japanese withdraw from China now and show everyone to see if the Japanese have the sincerity of peace. If there is, then ask the Japanese to announce the abolition of the puppet Manchukuo, the abolition of the puppet Mengsui autonomous government, the abolition of the traitor government in North China and Central China, the withdrawal of all Japanese troops from China, and the compensation for China's war losses. I forgive Wang Jingwei for not being able to do it, and I will talk about my attitude towards the war here, that is, if the Japanese invaders do not surrender one day, our army will not stop fighting until they reach the point where they surrender unconditionally and compensate our country for the war losses. Anyone who makes peace with the Japanese army is a traitor, and our army will kill him, and will never tolerate it, no matter who it is, as long as you want to be a traitor, you must think about my words, and think about the fate of the traitors who were shot by our army."

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin slowly calmed down, and said with a straight face: "Wang Jingwei ran away, it's a bad thing and a good thing." To say bad things means that his defection to the enemy and treason has brought us a very bad influence, after all, he is a dignified vice president of the Kuomintang, and he has a great influence at home and abroad, and he has a certain demagoguery. When it comes to good things, it means that Wang Jingwei ran away, was loyal and traitorous, eliminated the biggest traitor in my country, and eliminated hidden dangers. Personally, I don't think it's terrible for Wang Jingwei to run away, but what is terrible is what kind of attitude we take toward traitorous acts. On behalf of the military and the people of Shandong, I strongly demand that the Nationalist Government declare Wang Jingwei the number one traitor and his wife Chen Bijun the number one female traitor, expel him from the Kuomintang, remove him from all his posts, and arrest him all over the world. They can also ask the French authorities in Vietnam through diplomatic channels to extradite Wang Chingwei and his entourage back to China to stand trial. The Nationalist Government should also issue a reward order, no matter who the country or whom, whoever kills Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan. Let Wang Jingwei have nowhere to hide, no nest to sleep, no pot to eat, panic like a lost dog, the end of the road, self-destruction"

As soon as Liu Yimin's speech was published, it aroused tremendous repercussions in China. Originally, after Wang Jingwei published his telegram, the whole country was shocked, and various democratic parties and organizations rebelled and issued statements one after another, condemning Wang Jingwei's treasonous acts. ** The Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also issued a statement condemning Wang Jingwei for defecting to the enemy and treason. Chiang Kai-shek took into account the serious consequences of Wang Jingwei's escape, and took several measures, one was to send people to persuade Wang Jingwei, asking him not to go along with the Japanese in any case, and that it was best to return to Chongqing, and if he did not want to return, he could go abroad for recuperation, but Wang Jingwei refused. The second is to instruct Dai Li to send people to monitor Wang Jingwei and the rest of the party to avoid greater losses. The third is to send someone to persuade Long Yun, who has an ambiguous attitude, to persuade him not to respond to Wang Jingwei. The people who went to persuade even warned Long Yun that he dared to follow Wang Jingwei as a traitor and killed him within two hours. Fourth, the news was tightly sealed, hoping that Wang Jingwei would be able to find his way back. As a result, Wang Jingwei must have surrendered to the enemy, and even publicly released a glamorous telegram. By this time, Chiang Kai-shek had no way out.

Liu Yimin's speech has the heaviest weight among all the talks, resolutions, and statements condemning Wang Jingwei, and his analysis of Wang Jingwei is also the most thorough. Chiang Kai-shek could not say some things, such as Wang Jingwei's efforts to win over local forces, and could only do his work quietly. As soon as Liu Yimin's speech came out, he made the matter clear, not only praising the merits of various local forces in participating in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression over the past year, but also striking the mountain and shaking the tiger, which played a deterrent role.

When Chiang Kai-shek saw Liu Yimin say, "Which turtle son dares to run with Wang Jingwei, Lao Tzu will be the first to not let him go", he used a pen to draw three times in a row, and also specially noted: "The big hero and the big hero are a thousand words at a critical time"

After reading the entire article, Chiang Kai-shek summoned his confidential secretary Chen Bui and asked him to arrange for it to be published in full in the Central Daily, and to be printed and distributed as an important document to local governors and generals at and above the brigade level for study.

On the afternoon of New Year's Day in 1939, Chiang Kai-shek convened a regular meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and passed a resolution to expel Wang Jingwei from the party and remove him from all positions. However, in consideration of saving Wang Jingwei, Chiang Kai-shek did not issue a wanted warrant.

Liu Yimin's talk is tantamount to forcing the representatives of local forces to express their positions, and no one should want to get away with it at this time. Sure enough, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, Zhang Fakui, and Deng Xihou issued statements one after another, severely condemning Wang Jingwei for defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, supporting General Liu Yimin's initiative, and demanding that the Nationalist Government declare Wang Jingwei the number one traitor and Chen Bijun the number one female traitor, issue a wanted warrant and a reward order, and be sure to kill Wang Jingwei and his wife. In the end, all the generals and local governors at and above the division commander level who felt that it was necessary to express their stance issued a telegram condemning Wang Jingwei and responding to General Liu Yimin's initiative.

Long Yun really wanted to respond to Wang Jingwei, otherwise he would not have chartered a plane to let Wang Jingwei escape from Hanoi. But now the situation has changed dramatically, Chiang Kai-shek is quietly sending people to explain the interests and threats, Liu Yimin is publicly naming and forcing him to make a statement, on the surface, Liu Yimin listed the local armed forces and their leaders, and said that the Dian army and his exploits are great, but Long Yun knows in his heart that this is Liu Yimin beating him, and everyone else is a foil. If he doesn't express his position, he will become Wang Jingwei's second.

Long Yun not only issued a statement condemning Wang Jingwei, but also wrote to Chiang Kai-shek an explanation of Wang Jingwei's passage to Kunming, and repeatedly reported that he would come to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek for review.

When Chiang Kai-shek whispered to Song Meiling at night, he kept praising Ni Hua's good eyesight and finding such a young talent with both ability and political integrity. If Liu Yimin wasn't **, he should have been given the rank of general immediately and let him command a war zone. Even if he is asked to be the executive president, it is estimated that he will do better than Kong Xiangxi.

Song Meiling took advantage of the situation to propose that Liu Yimin had divorced and married Ni Hua, although the wedding was simple and the family was not notified, but as a cousin and cousin-in-law, she could not lose her manners. The old lady is still there watching

Chiang Kai-shek was on the rise, so he told Song Meiling that he must give a heavy gift to satisfy Ni Hua and Liu Yimin.

Song Meiling was a little embarrassed, saying that Liu Yimin had won a lot of battles and won a lot, how many good things had been seized, how could he look at ordinary gifts?

Chiang Kai-shek laughed when he heard it, saying that his wife didn't understand the rules of **, and Liu Yimin couldn't take a penny no matter how much he seized. **There is discipline, and all seizures must be returned to the public. Don't look at that stupid boy who looks better than Pan An and is better than Zijian, and he is majestic and heroic, but he is actually a poor bastard, and a first-class soldier in ** has more money than him. There is only one reason why his wedding is simple, that is, he has no money in his pocket, so he picked up a beautiful woman who is talented and first-class in appearance as his daughter-in-law.

Song Meiling said that she would like to send them a sum of money directly, right?

Chiang Kai-shek said: "It is useless to send them money. Ni Hua is a stupid girl, she may want it. But Liu Yimin is different, he will hand over the money, and it will be cheap for nothing**, the Eighth Route Army. Besides, Liu Yimin is not very old and not small-minded, he is determined to work with **, what he wants is the country, not that little money. ”

Song Meiling was in trouble, and she didn't know what to send.

Chiang Kai-shek came up with the idea and said: "It's easy to give gifts." It is said that Liu Yimin is all-round in literature and martial arts, and he is very accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Yan Xishan once gave him a painting of Fu Shan. You might as well think of a way to do this, and remember that you have to be famous, otherwise you will hit a wall."

Song Meiling's brain immediately became lively, and she soon came up with a plan, that is, to organize famous calligraphers and painters to go to Shandong to condole, let them sketch and paint in Shandong, and give it to Liu Yimin.

However, Song Meiling raised another question, if Liu Yimin didn't want calligraphy and painting works, but handed them over to the army for unified management, wouldn't he even be able to leave his personal feelings?

Chiang Kai-shek laughed at Song Meiling for being stupid, what kind of character Liu Yimin is, he naturally won't ask for anything. Wouldn't it be okay for the painters to invite Ni Hua to appreciate and give it to Ni Hua? In addition, although Liu Yimin is divorced, he will never break up with his ex-wife, after all, he has two sons, which are his heart, and no one can cut that father-son relationship. It can not only be given to Ni Hua, but also to Liu Yimin's ex-wife and her son. If you use her two sons as materials to paint, Liu Yimin's ex-wife will naturally not refuse, she must carefully collect them, and Liu Yimin will know about it. can even paint Liu Yimin's confidantes, I heard that their appearance is no less than Ni Hua. What they received, Liu Yimin will also know. In addition, don't go out this time, just let Guo Moruo and them organize. Guo Moruo and ** wear a pair of pants, he is willing to do this. Remember, afterwards, it is the right opportunity for your old uncle to tell Ni Hua that this is her mother's gift.

The two of them began to calculate again.

On the afternoon of New Year's Day in 1939, Chiang Kai-shek presided over a meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang to study the disposition of Wang Jingwei Yandian. This time is different from history, not only Wang Jingwei was expelled from the party, all positions were revoked, but also decided to issue a wanted warrant and a reward order, and the resolution also clearly stipulated that Wang Jingwei was the number one traitor of the Republic of China, and Chen Bijun was the number one female traitor.
