The third part of the Bloody and Fire War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing and Tenth

Under the urging of the war, all kinds of work are complicated, but each of them is related to the victory or defeat of the war, and the slightest delay may cause heavy losses to the front. //。 He Siyuan didn't dare to slack off at all, he was so busy every day that his feet didn't stick to the ground, and he ate and slept in the office.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, He Siyuan's wife and children were not in Shandong, but in Tianjin, the Italian concession, the Japanese once asked Italy to hand over He Siyuan's wife and daughter to them as allies, and the Italian government complied.

This angered Ho Siyuan, who, on the one hand, protested to Italy through the Nationalist Government, and on the other hand, ordered the arrest of all Italians in Shandong, whether priests or merchants, and then sent a letter to the Italian consul in Tianjin, who would be buried with him if his wife and daughter were harmed.

Ho's threats and protests from the Nationalist government, as well as international pressure, made the Italian government back down, and Mussolini ordered negotiations with the Japanese, who were forced to send his wife and daughter back to Tianjin, who then let them leave Tianjin and travel to Chongqing via Hong Kong. Still in Chongqing, he simply calls his office home.

When Xuanxia's father saw He Siyuan, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, the night market outside the provincial government was gradually noisy, and the weather had gradually begun to cool down.

"General Xuan, you've been waiting for a long time, are you here for Hao Pengju's matter?" He Siyuan asked straight to the point, while motioning, ask Xuanxia's father to sit down together.

The dinner was not rich, one meat, one vegetable, one soup, two bowls of white rice, Xuanxia's father was not polite, sat opposite He Siyuan, and waited for more than three hours, he was already hungry. During the three hours of waiting, he carefully recalled the telegrams from the central authorities and Chongqing, both of which estimated that the negotiations would be difficult, especially the telegram from Chongqing, in which Zhou Enlai reminded him that it was necessary to fully unite the centrist people in Shandong, especially the provincial governor He Siyuan, who had great influence in Shandong.

"Yes," Xuanxia's father did not shy away from it, and directly cut to the topic: "Chairman He, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is very good now, but it will take time for complete victory, the Japanese army is increasing its troops in North China, and at this moment the Kuomintang is drawing troops from North China to coerce our anti-Japanese base areas, this kind of practice of ignoring the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War and making the relatives and enemies happy should be stopped immediately, Chairman He, our party hopes that you can exert your influence to calm down the situation and jointly resist Japan." ”

He Siyuan just took two bites, put down the chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Xuanxia's father and said, "General Xuan, I don't understand a little, why did your party take in a person like Hao Pengju?" I've been in Shandong for almost ten years, and Hao Pengju is one of the most shameless soldiers I've ever seen. ”

Xuanxia's father shook his head and said: "The essence of the Hao Pengju incident is that the Kuomintang wants to annex local troops, look at people like Pang Bingxun, Sun Liangcheng, and Wu Huawen, they were deprived of military power, the troops were reorganized, and General Hao Pengju was just protecting himself. The problem now is that the Kuomintang is trying to take this opportunity to provoke a civil war, and how unfortunate are the people of Shandong, who have just broken away from the iron heel of Japan and are plunged into war again. ”

He Siyuan frowned slightly, his words were a bit strong, and he solemnly looked at Xuanxia's father: "Sun Liangcheng, Pang Bingxun, Wu Huawen, generals, anyway, let the people of Shandong reduce the war, this is a merit to the country, but this merit cannot offset their crime of surrendering to the Japanese army and acting as accomplices of the Japanese aggression, the country has been very lenient to them, only relieved them of their military power, and did not judge them." But what about Hao Pengju? You see, I think the article is very well written and goes to the bone. ”

He Siyuan handed the "Shandong Minbao" at hand to Xuanxia's father, this article was written by Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua not only in the Central Daily, Yuzhou Evening News, but also in Shandong Minbao, Shandong Daily, let them publish the articles they wrote.

In this article, Zhuang Jihua clearly pointed out that the real root cause of Hao Pengju's defection was that he wanted to use the forces in his hands to blackmail the country, gain greater power, realize the separation of warlords, and continue to enslave and endanger the people.

This article resonated with He Siyuan, who before the war, was easy to deal with with warlords, knew their habits, and regarded military power as their life, as for what country or nationality, it was not in their consideration.

Xuanxia's father was in trouble, Hao Pengju's reputation was too bad, Zhuang Jihua said that his five surnames were slaves, these puppet army generals, during the surrender to the enemy, assisted the Japanese army to enter and suppress the anti-Japanese base areas of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and spared no effort, like Wu Huawen assisted the Japanese army to create a no-man's land, and the Kuomintang took them to open the knife, and really found the right target.

He Siyuan sighed: "The dispute between the two parties has been going on for a long time, when will it be a head if it goes on like this, General Xuan, frankly speaking, I have no hostility towards GCD, I have cooperated with your party's guerrillas many times behind enemy lines before." But this time it was your mistake, and Hao Pengju should be handed over to the Nationalist Government for trial as soon as possible, so I am willing to mediate this dispute with the Shandong gentry. ”

Xuanxia's father said that if Hao Pengju was handed over, there was still a need for mediation, Zhuang Jihua had already made a condition to hand over Hao Pengju, and everything else was easy to say.

From He Siyuan, he returned disappointed, the office of the Eighth Route Army in the Jiangbei Theater was not in Jinan, it was still in Shangqiu, but Xuanxia's father took a team, built a temporary office in Jinan, and rented a small courtyard outside the headquarters.

The office has only nine staff members, one telegrapher, one dispatcher, two staff members and four security guards. After returning, Xuanxia's father quickly drafted a telegram to report Zhuang Jihua's conditions to Chongqing and Taihang Mountain, and also reported He Siyuan's attitude.

The telegram from Chongqing soon returned, and Zhou Enlai clearly told him in the telegram that it was impossible to return Hao Pengju, but that he could make concessions on other matters, and at the same time reminded him that while declaring the policy of our party, he would fully enlist the support of the local middle forces in Shandong, and that he would negotiate with Chen Lifu in Chongqing.

Soon after, a telegram from Taihang Mountain also arrived, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army telegraphed to him that the Jiaodong troops had made preparations to advance westward, and if Zhuang Jihua insisted on using force, the Jiaodong troops would march west to support Chen Su's troops; Chen G's troops in Dezhou have broken away from Dezhou and moved closer to southern Hebei, and Luo Rhuan will lead the southern Hebei troops to march east to deter the Kuomintang army in Texas.

After reading the telegram, Xuanxia's father did not feel at ease, the two troops of Luo Rhuan and Chen G combined were only 70,000 or 80,000, but there were hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops gathered on the line from Dezhou to Shijiazhuang, including armored units such as the First Mechanized Group Army and the Fifth Group Army.

Xuanxia's father was thinking about how to open up the situation, and the telegram from Taihang Mountain arrived again, telling him that Chen G had been sent to Jinan at night, and at the same time, Chen Y, the commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army in Linqu, was also rushing to Jinan. Xuanxia's father understands the purpose of the central government's arrangement, Chen G and Zhuang Jihua have a good personal relationship, and the central government hopes that his arrival will have some effect.

Chen Y showed superhuman united front skills in the Huangqiao Operation, not only winning a military victory and eliminating Han Deqin's 89th Army, but also achieving a political victory. After entering Shandong, Chen Y also gave full play to his talents, united a large number of local gentry, and played an important role in opening up the anti-Japanese base area in Shandong.

Xuanxia's father immediately convened a staff meeting, at which the central decision was read out, and the staff prepared a room for Chen Y Chen G and his entourage, and he took the guards out again to visit Miao Handong, a famous place in Shandong, Miao Handong is the largest flour merchant in Shandong, but he is not only a businessman, but also the founder of Shandong Yucai School, the honorary principal, he himself has learned from the East and the West, is the earliest student in Shandong, and enjoys a high reputation in the industrial and commercial circles of Shandong. Instead, he chose to close his door and thank the guests, secretly supported the anti-Japanese resistance, and provided a large amount of food and money to the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Army.

But such a pro-** person still disappointed Xuanxia's father, Miao Handong's views are not much different from He Siyuan's, the only good thing is that he is willing to mediate and resolve the current critical situation without mentioning any preconditions.

Just when he was discussing with Miao Handong, He Siyuan walked into Zhuang Jihua's office, Zhuang Jihua's office is now free, and most of the things on the table have been packed up.

"Chairman He, is there something wrong with coming so late?"

Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised by He Siyuan's arrival, he instinctively thought that something big must have happened there, and He Siyuan's face was also gloomy.

"Commander Zhuang, do you really want to attack the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army?"

When Zhuang Jihua heard this, he just stood up and sat back in his seat, and he quickly thought about He Siyuan's purpose here, is it to be a lobbyist or to find out for **?

"The law and discipline of the country cannot be broken, and Hao Pengju must be punished by the law of the country, otherwise there will be many people who will follow the example in the future, and there is no room for change in this matter." Zhuang Jihua's tone was not revealed at all, and he was still stern.

He Siyuan sighed: "This Hao Pengju is really a rat, and he has stirred up the good situation of the Anti-Japanese War." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him, still judging his purpose for coming here so late, He Siyuan sighed again: "Commander Zhuang, just now General Xuanxia's father came to me, and I also proposed to hand over Hao Pengju, and the others can be negotiated, but it seems that they are unwilling." Commander Zhuang, at this time, if you want to transfer troops to suppress the Communists, what should the Japanese army in North China do? ”

Zhuang Jihua still couldn't judge He Siyuan's purpose, He Siyuan had a pro-communist reputation in the Kuomintang, and if he wanted to come out to make peace at this time, he had to spend time convincing them.

"Commander Zhuang, after General Xuan left, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that it was better to focus on the overall situation and negotiate a settlement between the two sides."
