Chapter 1215 Sincerity and Respect

Chiang Kai-shek warmly received his old friends Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying and his entourage, and the two sides did not have much politeness, took a short rest, and then held talks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Enlai's negotiation plan was not much different from Chiang Kai-shek's estimate, and it was full of sincerity under Zhou Enlai's gentle explanation, but Zhou Enlai, on behalf of the Central Committee, strictly rejected the expressions such as "incorporation" and "surrender" mentioned in the negotiation clauses.

**The plan proposed by the central government is: first, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region will become an entire administrative region and cannot be divided; Second, the number of the Red Army after reorganization must reach more than 40,000; Third, the three divisions of the Red Army must have a general headquarters; Fourth, military adjutants and political training personnel cannot be sent to units at all levels of the Red Army; Fifth, the Red Army School must complete the current period before it can be completed; Sixth, the Red Army's defensive areas must be increased.

After Zhou Enlai introduced the plan, he politely asked Chiang Kai-shek: "What does Jiegong think?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek behaved very mildly, even showing further compromise and open-mindedness: "These are small and easy to solve. ** Participation in the National Convention and the National Defence Conference in a few months; The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Administrative Region can be the whole, but the government agencies are not military institutions, and the central government must have jurisdiction, otherwise it is not a unified country, but it can be appointed by people from the ***** Nanjing government, and ** people can be appointed as deputy positions; We have agreed to the reorganization of the Red Army, and we will never send people to sabotage the management and construction of the first army. In addition, we will try to solve the quota for food assistance, and the specific problems can be resolved one by one in tomorrow's negotiations. ”

Ye Jianying, who was sitting opposite An Yi, was stunned for a moment after listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, and then nodded slightly with Zhou Enlai, who looked over, as if he did not expect that in less than an hour of negotiation, the major differences between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on the scale of the Red Army were resolved.

The negotiations went so smoothly throughout the afternoon that He Jinhan and Zhang Chong didn't even have a chance to show their eloquence. Since An Yi was in charge of the military aspect, since the Red Army sincerely expressed its obedience to the unified leadership of the central government and Chairman Chiang, the three military schools run by him would end after the completion of the current period, and the Red Army did not insist on the establishment of 60,000 officers and men, which was 10,000 lower than the 50,000 that Chiang Kai-shek could accept, there was no need for An Yi to make the rhetoric prepared in advance.

Now that the big military problem has been resolved, there is nothing to do with An Yi in the remaining details, and Zhang Chong and He Jinhan are responsible for the specific consultations, and the dignified members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission and the deputy chief of the general staff will not deign to talk about the specific details.

The negotiation of specific details takes much more time than the determination of the general direction, and once the main direction is determined, all that remains is to bargain over the details, calculate with each other, and compromise with each other.

**After thanking the parties, they took the lead in proposing to adjourn the meeting, and each of them prepared to continue consultations on specific issues tomorrow.

Chiang Kai-shek warmly invited Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying to dinner, saying that old friends had not seen each other for many years, and they must reminisce about the past, and asked Zhou Enlai's opinion on the current situation at home and abroad.

The personable Zhou Enlai readily agreed, and after a while, everyone was ready, took a cruise across the West Lake, and went to the Majestic Hotel on the east coast.

Neither side drank much wine during the banquet, Chiang Kai-shek did not drink alcohol in the first place, and Ye Jianying, who was dignified and elegant, was also a Confucian general, and like most Cantonese generals, he did not drink much, so he was more cautious in such an important meeting. Chen Cheng on this side had just recovered from stomach bleeding, and he stayed away from the wine, Zhang Chong, Chen Bui, He Jinhan and others saw that the two chiefs at the main table had not drunk, so naturally they did not dare to mention the wine, so no one touched the four bottles of aged cellar on the two tables, and they all politely whispered thanks to the attendants who sent the juice drinks.

In the face of sumptuous dishes and cups of drink, everyone sat upright and waited for Chiang Kai-shek's speech.

Chiang Kai-shek looked around and didn't move, looked at An Yi with a smile, An Yi stood up and walked out of the elegant room, and in a blink of an eye, he and his adjutant Shen Fengdao brought four bottles of muddy yellow ceramic wine bottles without trademarks, Shen Fengdao handed the two bottles to He Jinhan and asked him to take care of the guests at his table, He Jinhan grabbed Shen Fengdao and asked him to sit down too, Shen Feng shook his head apologetically and politely declined.

Li Xiaolong, who was sitting next to Zhang Chong, had already stood up and saluted respectfully to Shen Fengdao, who was wearing a major general's uniform: "Adjutant Shen......"

"Mr. Li, please take a seat, you're welcome! I am in military affairs and cannot accompany me, please forgive me. Shen Fengdao politely returned the salute and turned to leave.

Li Xiaolong shook his head and sat down very regretfully, and Zhou Enlai's bodyguard, Long Feihu, asked in a low voice who this was? Li Xiaolong whispered a few words in his ear, Long Feihu's eyebrows shook, his face was full of shock, and then turned into deep regret.

At that time, there was laughter on the main table, An Yi personally poured wine for Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying, Zhou Enlai happily said that such a good Moutai is rare and very grateful, Chiang Kai-shek also nodded frequently, and seemed to like the unique mellow fragrance of Moutai.

An Yi smiled politely, and finally came to Chiang Kai-shek's side: "Principal, come a little, not much, just a little, how can it be meaningful, Brother Cixiu's stomach bleeding is not good, seeing his old friends Director Zhou and General Ye, don't you also sacrifice your life to accompany you......"

The two tables looked at Chiang Kai-shek together, and saw Chiang Kai-shek, who had never drunk alcohol, smiling and nodding, all of them were surprised, An Yi happily poured Chiang Kai-shek a small half a cup, returned to his place, and unceremoniously poured himself full.

Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying glanced at each other with a smile, but their hearts were not so relaxed on their faces, they knew that Hangzhou did not have this kind of excellent Moutai liquor that seemed ordinary on the outside but was definitely cellared for more than 20 years, this kind of superb Moutai liquor was only made by the century-old liquor shop in Huairen, Guizhou, and the Moutai liquor that won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition was produced by that time-honored brand. With the exception of disinfectant alcohol, which was used to heal the wounded and sick, it all went into the stomachs of the hungry officers and soldiers, so both of them knew how valuable this unique, seemingly rough bottle was, and how rare the wine it contained.

Now An Yi took out four bottles of Moutai at once, so that the guests could see An Yi's attention and sincerity. The well-informed and experienced Zhou and Ye thought more, why did An Yi go alone with Moutai instead of the equally well-known Xufu Wuliangye under his rule? Why not the famous wine of Nanchang that has risen with the prestige of An Jiajun? Is there something else in this? Again, the two saw Chiang Kai-shek's respect and love for An Yi, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek, who was high up and not angry and self-righteous and never drank alcohol, I am afraid that few people in China dared to learn An Yi's way of persuading alcohol, but An Yi was as relaxed as treating his elders at his own table.

Chiang Kai-shek had already stood up politely, paused for a moment to look around, and gave a short and warm greeting with a smile, and the guests and hosts happily raised their wine glasses and wished each other in a harmonious atmosphere.

The banquet that followed was lighthearted, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't talk much, but he was also full of emotion when he recalled a certain episode of the original Huangpu and the two Eastern Crusades.

An Yi looked at the kind and kind Director Zhou, and his heart was also full of feelings, this mature and elegant, personable beautiful man, can always use a frank and relaxed word at some time to lead the whole banquet atmosphere well, giving people a pleasant feeling like a spring breeze, sincere and easy-going smile, outstanding demeanor, everywhere overflowing with his unique and deep mature charm.

An Yi quietly waited for everyone to eat, and felt that the time had come, so he raised his wine glass and respectfully toasted Director Zhou with the gift of a student:

"Director Zhou, ten years, An Yi from time to time thinks of Director Zhou's kind care when he was in Huangpu, the friendship is deep beyond words, I wish Director Zhou a smooth career, good health, An Yi first to respect!"

Everyone knew that the banquet was coming, so they stopped and looked at An Yi with a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek symbolically wiped his mouth with a white napkin, looked at An Yi with a smile, and nodded slightly.

Zhou Enlai stood up happily with a smile, gestured slightly to An Yi, who was looking at him, raised his head and dried it up, put down the cup and waited for the applause to stop before slowly sitting down, looking at An Yi kindly, and smiled meaningfully: "General An, thank you!" ”

"Director Zhou is polite, if you want to say a lot, no one here can compare to Director Zhou, An Yi bets that everyone drinks one by one, and in the end only Director Zhou can walk back by himself. If Director Zhou is gone, An Yi will toast Director Zhou for two more glasses to show his admiration! ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he motioned to the attendant to fill it for Director Zhou and pour himself a cup.

Everyone listened to it interestingly, and applauded one after another, thinking that it was An Yi's kind words and compliments, only Ye Jianying and others knew Zhou Enlai's bottomless amount of alcohol, so they were very interested in An Yi's words, and they all wanted to hear how Director Zhou responded.

Chiang Kai-shek heard the meaning of An Yi's words, looked at An Yi, and asked puzzledly: "Why are you so sure?" ”

An Yi replied respectfully: "Back to the principal, Director Zhou is full of energy, breathing long, gait steady, demeanor calm and restrained, every move is a model for students to learn, students exercise almost every day, study every day, but I am afraid that they will not be able to reach the height of Director Zhou in their lifetime." Therefore, students know Director Zhou massively. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was slightly surprised, he knew that An Yi had been following the martial arts master Shen Fengdao to learn martial arts, and he had achieved a small success after eight years of perseverance, and when he heard An Yi say this, he immediately realized that Zhou Enlai had a double cultivation of civil and military skills, and he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile to Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Enlai's surprise was even greater, what he admired was not An Yi's eyes, but the supreme master Shen Adjutant Shen behind An Yi who was always overlooked, just a photo when he boarded the ship before the banquet, Shen Fengdao's bottomless eyes and unfathomable martial arts bearing, left a very deep impression on Zhou Enlai. He knew that An Yi had been reminded by Shen Fengdao to say this, so he stood up very chic and smiled brightly, and touched An Yi two more glasses in a round of applause.

"What wine! I'm afraid this wine is not easy to come by, right? It shows the kindness of President Jiang, General An and all of you, Enlai is deeply grateful, thank you! ”

The applause rang out again, and Director Zhou sat down calmly.

"Friends come and have good wine, not to mention our old director of Whampoa? Ha ha! This wine is precious, 20 years of cellaring, I heard that now there are less than 200 bottles left in the entire Huairen County, An Yi and Guizhou Vice Chairman Shi Zhen are good friends, he knows that I drink well, during the Spring Festival, I sent two boxes of this wine, a total of twenty-four bottles, there is not much left, hehe! An Yi replied happily, with a sincere smile and no intention of showing off.

Everyone exclaimed, thinking: Damn! Cow......

An Yi then saluted Ye Jianying again, the same three cups, extremely enthusiastic. Ye Jianying knew that An Yi had a good amount of wine, so he didn't return the salute after sitting down, after all, the wine power of twenty-year-old Moutai is not covered, and the heavy responsibility of thousands of miles is on his shoulders, and he can't be sloppy.

An Yi whispered a few words to Chiang Kai-shek, and with Chiang Kai-shek's consent, he began to string the table, walked between Li Xiaolong and Long Feihu, and happily toasted each person at the table, without any shelf, just like the normal food and drink banquet in the army, which was relaxed and pleasant.

Chiang Kai-shek, Zhou Enlai, and Ye Jianying were still talking cordially, and Chen Cheng, Chen Bui and others listened with a smile and were very happy with each other. After a while, everyone saw Shen Fengdao come in with four bottles of precious Moutai wine and hand them to An Yi, An Yi grabbed Shen Fengdao and asked him to stay with him, and He Jinhan, Jiang Xiaozhen and others immediately burst into bursts of cheerful laughter.

Director Zhou and Chiang Kai-shek glanced at each other, and seeing Chiang Kai-shek shaking his head helplessly, Director Zhou smiled slightly: "It's touching to be so gracious!" Principal, General An's sincerity and heroism reminded Enlai of many past events during the Eastern Crusade, and on the night of the defeat of Huizhou City, didn't we also raise a glass to celebrate, full of pride? The past is vivid, and the deep friendship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time was incomparably precious! ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded frequently: "Yes, yes!" It's precious, and I still remember it vividly......"
