At night, the two guards on duty in the Wende Building chatted boringly in the dim light, the Wende Building guards were established after the assassination of Liao Zhongkai, and belonged to the jurisdiction of the Internal Security Bureau, but the biggest thing since its establishment was that Zhuang Jihua broke into the Wende Building last time, and there was nothing to do for a long time, and the guards inevitably slacked off and did not notice the slight footsteps outside the building. Until there was a pounding knock on the door.

After the guard went out, he could faintly see several people in military uniforms standing faintly outside the fence gate, led by a large-brimmed hat.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Navy Bureau, if you have an urgent matter, find Director Li Zhilong." Someone came and said outside the door.

The guard used the flashlight to shine out, and the strong light made the two people in front of him raise their hands to block them.

"What's the photo, I'm Ouyang Chrome, open the door quickly." Ouyang Chrome shouted impatiently.

The guard muttered, "It's so late." ”

As soon as he opened the door, he was immediately forced by two soldiers, Ouyang Chrome and Chen Zhaoying walked up with five or six soldiers, the guards were startled, and they were about to scream, and then they were covered by a pair of big hands covering their mouths.

"Brother, it's none of your business, we're just doing what we're told, and we'll be done in a while." The soldier who held him down said to him in a low voice.

He was then gagged and escorted into the guardhouse, and when he entered the door, he found that his other companion was also gagged, crouched in the corner with his hands tied behind his back, and their guns were also on the table, and both of them saw anxiety and shame in each other's eyes.

After a while, they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, followed by an angry voice: "Ouyang Chromium, you are a fake order, I want to see the principal's warrant." ”

"Ouyang Chrome, you are responsible for what you do."

"Li Zhilong, Director Li, be quiet, don't disturb people's sleep," Ouyang Ran's voice contained smugness: "Without the principal's warrant, how dare I arrest you." ”

Through the cracks, the guards saw Li Zhilong, the usually very energetic director of the Navy Bureau, wearing underwear and being escorted downstairs by several soldiers.

The sound faded away, and several soldiers untied the ropes that bound the two of them, and left without saying a word, and the two guards looked at each other and silently put their guns at their waists.

"You look at it, I'll inform Secretary Chen."

The atmosphere in Chen Yannian's office was dull, and all the responsible persons at home were summoned here to hold an emergency meeting, but from the beginning of the meeting to the present, no one knew what was going on, fortunately, the phone was not broken, Chen Yannian made a few phone calls to understand the situation, except that he knew that the Soviet Russian advisory group was also surrounded, and the provincial and Hong Kong strike pickets were surrounded by troops, nothing else was known.

"What did Wang Jingwei say?" As soon as Chen Yannian put down the phone, Deng Zhongxia asked anxiously.

"He doesn't know." Chen Yannian said sullenly.

The troops of the 1st Army and the 2nd Division who captured Li Zhilong and surrounded Wendelou were all the troops of the 2nd Division, and the reaction from all other places was the troops of the 2nd Division, and the workers' pickets were unwilling to surrender their guns and had already confronted the army.

Chen Yannian snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, looked up and asked Zhou Enlai: "Before you come back, did He Yingqin from Chaoshan have any abnormal behavior?" ”

Zhou Enlai only returned to Canton this afternoon, and only after his return did he learn that he had asked Chiang Kai-shek to explain Li Haoyi's distribution of leaflets; Zhou Enlai thought about it and said with certainty: "No, there is no abnormality at all." ”

Seeing that everyone's suspicious eyes did not leave, Enlai explained: "If Chiang Kai-shek wants to target our party, then Chiang Xianyun and Jin Fozhuang will definitely be dismissed from their posts first, and two regiments in the first army are controlled by our party."

"Won't Chiang Kai-shek arrest them after they have been launched?" Mr. Huang disagreed.

"The officers at all levels of these two regiments are all members of the Communist Youth League and the Communist Youth League, and the backbone soldiers are also inclined to our party, unless they are surrounded and disarmed, these two regiments are ours." Zhou Enlai said very firmly: "But to do such a thing, there must be a transfer of the army, and before the party left, there was no sign of the army being moved." ”

"Then why is Chiang Kai-shek? Surround the advisory group, surround Wende Building, what does he want to do, rebel?! Yang Kuangan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't find any traces of this in the political axe beforehand.

"It's not a way for us to do this, I see that I will go to see Chiang Kai-shek and ask him face to face, why did he do this?" Zhou Enlai stood up and said.

"That's fine." Chen Yannian agreed, and frowned again when he looked outside the building.

"I'm still the director of the political department of the First Army, and they won't stop me." Zhou En.

"Well, be careful. Just make a call back after asking. Chen Yannian said that this was to let him not come back before the matter subsided, Zhou Enlai nodded clearly, he didn't look at his beloved wife on the side, and left without looking back.

"Stop!"

Zhou Enlai was greeted by a scolding as soon as he came out of Wende Building, he stood firmly in place, looking at the officer opposite, the officer came forward, and said as he walked: "Go back, you are not allowed to go out." ”

"I am Zhou Enlai, director of the Political Department of the First Army," Zhou Enlai asked coldly: "Report your name and unit number?" ”

When the officer heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted him: "Report to Director Zhou, the commander of the XXX Company of the XX Battalion of the 11th Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division, Wang Yunke, the second phase of Huangpu." ”

"Company Commander Wang, what's going on today?" Zhou Enlai asked in a different tone.

"[***] instigated a naval rebellion, and we were ordered to put down the rebellion." Wang Yunke replied loudly.

"Rebellion?" Zhou Enlai, who learned the news, was shocked, but he knew that this must be nothing, and it was impossible for him, the secretary of the military committee, not to know about such a thing.

Zhou Enlai's mood became heavier, what he feared most finally happened, Chiang Kai-shek completely fell to the right, at this time he remembered that the man said that others have a knife and you should at least take a stick, but now this stick is too far away; He was so stupid how could he deceive Chiang Kai-shek, if this was the result of the destruction of the [***] Guangdong District Committee and the loss of the party, he would not dare to think about it anymore.

"I want to see Principal Jiang, where is he now?" Zhou Enlai decided to meet Chiang Kai-shek first and ask about the situation.

"The Headmaster is at the Mint." Wang Yunke replied.

Zhou Enlai nodded, got into the car with a heavy heart, and several of his guards followed suit.

After the operation began, everything went smoothly to Chiang Kai-shek's surprise, most of the soldiers of the Zhongshan ship were sleeping, Chen Jiji successfully captured the captain Zhang Tong, and when Li Zhilong was also caught at home, the officers of the command were smiling, but Chiang Kai-shek's heart sank little by little.

Whether it was a preparation for a rebellion or an attempted rebellion, they could not have been unprepared; Chiang Kai-shek began to realize that he had been fooled, but he never figured out what the problem was, and now he had no way back but to keep going.

Chiang Kai-shek met with Zhou Enlai in a complicated mood, and Zhou Enlai looked cold, and when he met, he asked Chiang Kai-shek what happened? Why surround Man Tak House? Why should the pickets be disarmed? Why besiege the Soviet Russian adviser residence? Why was Lee Zhilong arrested? Did his actions be approved by the military council?

In the face of Zhou Enlai's series of questions, Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth and resisted: "Li Zhilong conspired to instigate a naval rebellion, and my order to arrest him was to surround Wende Building and the workers' pickets to prevent accidents." ”

"And what about the Russian advisers?" Zhou Enlai asked with a calm face.

"Without Ji Jiashan's support, would Li Zhilong dare?" When it comes to Ji Jiashan, Chiang Kai-shek is angry, he will not fight in one place, he gritted his teeth when he said these three words.

"How the Zhongshan ship was mobilized and who gave the order, it is easy to find out, but President Chiang, you mobilized the army without authorization and surrounded the Wen [***] District Committee and the Soviet Russian adviser station, which is a betrayal of the Prime Minister's three major policies, and now I ask you on behalf of [***] to cancel the siege of Wende Building and the workers' pickets." With the participation of Soviet and Russian advisers? Zhou Enlai was not sure whether this was really the case, and he first proposed to lift the siege and give his comrades time to retreat.

"I can't accept such a request until things are fully figured out." Chiang Kai-shek refused.

"Haven't you already taken over the Zhongshan ship?" Zhou En said: "Li Zhilong and Zhang Tong were also arrested by you, why do you still surround Wendelou and the workers' pickets?" ”

"It's still unclear who else is involved, and when it is clear, the siege will be lifted." Chiang Kai-shek didn't know what to do with it, and he didn't dare to budge now.

When Zhou Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek had a heated argument, the vanguard of the 20th Division outside the city rushed to Slender Dog Ridge after a forcible march of four hours under the leadership of Zhuang Jihua.

When he arrived at the mint, Zhou Enlai was holding on to Chiang Kai-shek, and no one would budge. Hearing Zhuang Jihua's report, Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, and then let him in.

"Report to the principal, the 24th Regiment of the vanguard of the 20th Division led by the students has arrived at Slender Dog Ridge, and the students have come to ask for instructions." After entering the door, Zhuang Jihua reported loudly to Chiang Kai-shek.

"So fast." Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised: "Your regiment is stationed in Slender Dog Ridge, and there is no need to enter the city again." ”

"Yes."

promised to agree, but Zhuang Jihua stood still and did not move. Chiang Kai-shek saw that he didn't leave, and after thinking about it, he understood that he had something to say.

"Just tell me what you think?"

"The students don't have an idea, they just want to ask, what the hell is going on? Why are [***] members being detained? I asked Division Commander Qian, and he also wondered, although the troops came, but... Thoughts fluctuate a lot. Zhuang Jihua carefully chose the wording, of course he knew that the Zhongshan ship incident would inevitably happen, and all the hard work he had paid was in vain; Chiang Kai-shek was faced with a choice, and he was also faced with a choice.

Zhuang Jihua was thinking along the way, whether to remind [***], must launch a counterattack, now the possibility of counterattacking to defeat Chiang Kai-shek is very big, miss this opportunity, there will be no chance in the future. But after entering the city, he decided to improvise, he thought that this was the only way, because whether to fight back or not was not up to [***], the decision was in the hands of Soviet Russian advisers, and further in the hands of the Comintern, and he could not control what the Comintern thought. Adaptable, easy to advance and retreat; [***] counterattack, he can cooperate; On the other hand, he is safe.

In this only historical event he is familiar with, the history books seem to say that Chiang Kai-shek finally succeeded because of the implementation of the policy of compromise and concession, but now that he is a butterfly, will history change? Zhuang Jihua didn't know, he had to wait.

Chiang Kai-shek also knew that the seizure of [***] members in the army would inevitably cause chaos in the army, but due to the urgency of time, he could not elaborate on the fact that the thinking of the 20th Division fluctuated greatly, and I am afraid that He Yingqin's thinking fluctuated even more, and there were more [***] members there.

"Ji Jiashan colluded with Li Zhilong, conspired to plot a naval rebellion, kidnapped Principal Ben, and now they have all been arrested." Chiang Kai-shek simply said to Zhuang Jihua: "The purpose of detaining [***] members of the army is to prevent accidents. ”

Zhuang Jihua agreed loudly: "The student understands. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhuang Jihua's actions surprised Chiang Kai-shek, he knew Zhuang Jihua, and thought that Zhuang Jihua would definitely move out again, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the basis of the national revolution, and the Kuomintang and [***] were the two cornerstones of the national revolution to persuade himself, but he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to say nothing.

Just as Zhuang Jihua was about to walk out of the door, Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth to stop him.

"Cultural Revolution, you wait," Zhuang Jihua stopped and turned to look at Chiang Kai-shek: "Please instruct the principal." ”

"Don't go back to your company, stay here and listen to my transfer, don't go back, stay and serve as my temporary assistant, and send someone to tell Xiong Shouyun that he is in charge of Slender Dog Ridge." After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek said that he felt that there were too many doubts in this matter, and he needed someone to help him analyze and analyze it, and in addition, he also needed someone to help him clean up such a big disaster, although he did not admit it, but he already knew in his heart that the rebellion did not exist.

Zhuang Jihua was silent and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Enlai watched coldly, from their answers, he knew that Chaoshan must be the same, [***] all the members were detained, but he didn't know what the situation of the two regiments was, and he saw a glimmer of hope in the gloom, Zhuang Jihua came back, he came back at this time, and it was definitely not just for the task.
