The 23rd Lushan Talks

Huang Huan was sent by the Kuomintang to study in Germany, and disappeared after returning to China, and later learned that he went to Yan'an, and scolded Chiang Kai-shek at that time for being a 'white-eyed wolf'.

It was Jiang Linren who followed Chiang Kai-shek's side all the year round and would respond on the spot: "Principal Rui has a good eye and a good talent, and Huang Huancheng will definitely be able to make miraculous achievements on the battlefield of resistance against Japan." ”

"That's it! What are you doing with the old past? Come and eat chicken. Mrs. Jiang Song Meiling played a round on the side: "This chicken, it is the soldiers of Lin Ren's guard battalion who are fighting very fresh in the mountains." Song Meiling said as she sandwiched a chicken leg for Zhou Enlai, and then a chicken leg for Chiang Kai-shek. Everyone also joined the two sentences and moved their chopsticks one after another.

Zhou Enlai looked at the chicken leg and couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "It seems that Mrs. Jiang knows our mind very well!" ”

"Come on! Where does this begin? Chiang Kai-shek asked without confusion.

Zhou Enlai smiled: "Don't you see Mrs. Jiang dividing chicken?" ”

"The two chicken legs represent the Kuomintang and **, and the chicken body represents our thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Only by the joint resistance of the two parties can the entire nation be sustained, and the generals under the chairman of the committee will destroy the Japanese invaders on our great rivers and mountains. ”

Everyone laughed with a piece of chicken, but Chiang Kai-shek only smiled slightly, and said no more. Lin Ren, who was with Chiang Kai-shek, knew that the 'principal' did not smile on weekdays, and it was rare to be able to eat at the same table with his subordinates and hostile political parties today. During the banquet, Zhou Enlai also praised Mrs. Jiang's superb cooking skills many times, and everyone was chatting and laughing about some things in Whampoa. During this period, Chen Bui came and handed a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, who quietly read the telegram and joined the banquet.

In fact, the content of the telegram is the battle of the Shaofan National Youth League on the 13507 Heights and Shaofan's analysis of the Pingjin war situation, hoping that the chairman of the committee will make up his mind to resist Japan as soon as possible.

After the dismissal, Zhou Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek once again sat separately from the host and guest, and then talked at night. LIU Zhizhao; Chiang Ching-kuo; Huang Huancheng and others left, and Liu Zhizhao was invited by Chiang Ching-kuo to his study for talks, but Liu Zhizhao has always been cautious in handling things, and because of the current awkward relationship with the Kuomintang, he politely declined. However, Huang Huancheng was upright in his heart, and he also thought about it, and followed Jiang Linren and Liu Feng to Lin Ren's room to talk at night.

Jiang Linren poured a cup of coffee for Huang Huancheng and handed it to Huancheng: "It's been nearly four years since Nanjing was in a hurry in 33 years, and I really want to study in Germany with our classmates!" ”

Liu Feng: "Yes! Shaofan; Zhiyu and the others went to the United States and we returned to China, and the memories of the four years still seem to be in front of us. ”

"In the past, when I returned to China, I never thought that we would face each other with swords! I didn't expect to be in the same room! Huang Huancheng said with a deep sigh: "In a sense, we still have to thank the Japanese, if they hadn't fired the first shot of the invasion of China on the 7th, we might still be fighting to the death on the battlefield." ”

Liu Feng stood up and looked at the photos Lin Ren took when he was in Whampoa: "I really want to meet Shaofan and them!" I heard that his National Youth League is impressive. ”

Jiang Linren took a sip of coffee and said while taking out a cigarette from his pocket: "I am not satisfied with you saying that I admire Shaofan in my heart." It is not easy for this kid to have the courage to go from having no guns and no food to a 30,000-strong all-German armament army! I heard that one of the positions of his regiment has now become the target of the Japanese army in Pingjin? ”

Huang Huancheng said with a smile: "The ninth phase of Huangpu has many talents! If you have the opportunity, be sure to get together. ”

"Looks like there's not much of a chance!" Liu Feng said: "Our 31st Division will be transferred to Shandong, and once the war starts, there will be no chance." ”

Huang Huancheng smiled and said: "Back then, the ten of us went abroad for further study, and today we have our own merits. I hope that we will all show up and contribute to the motherland in the future anti-Japanese plan. ”

Jiang Linren also sighed at this time and said: "You guys are fine, you can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and I will be miserable to accompany the principal every day." ”

Liu Feng smiled: "You are satisfied!" How majestic is the Chinese military police guard battalion! With your current equipment, I guess it's just a fight that Shaofan's National Youth League has. ”

"That fart." Lin Ren said: "Our Chinese military police are like the blue and white porcelain in the principal's house, and if you are afraid of breaking it, you are afraid of taking it out, and you are afraid of robbing it, so we train in the camp all day long." ”

Liu Feng said: "You want to go to the front line, but there are people who don't want to go up." ”

"Who?" Lin Ren asked.

Liu Feng said: "Who else is not Chen Zeen, the commander of the 12th Division." ”

"Zenn?" Huan Cheng slapped the armrest of the sofa in surprise and said, "What's wrong with that guy?" ”

"Him! Now he is the commander of the garrison in Nanjing, and the 12th Division was supposed to be transferred to Taiyuan, but somehow he stayed in Nanjing, and people in the circle said that his father was afraid that his son would go to the front and did something from it. Liu Feng said: "I heard that he is about to marry the daughter of Jin Juyi, the chairman of the Jin Group, so he refuses to go to the battlefield." ”

"Gentle Township Hero Mound!" Huang Huan became a Taoist.

"Phew!" Lin Ren said: "He is also a hero, it is simply a shame on us Huangpu people." ”

Moreover, Zhou Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek talked for a long time in the study, and Zhou Enlai analyzed the current world situation very thoroughly, compared Japan's national strength with China, and talked about the Soviet Union; The United States summed up one point after the national strength, that is, the alliance war of the world will start sooner or later.

Chiang Kai-shek listened with admiration and said: "The world's major wars must be caused by local battles, and it seems that the Sino-Japanese War is one of the local wars." ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Enlai said: "We can't rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves, and we can't wait for the world war to start before we in China will die." So we have to fight independently. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "What you say is reasonable, what you say is reasonable." Once it is dead, there is no point in talking about the world alliance. ”

Zhou Enlai was a veteran diplomat, and when he saw that Chiang Kai-shek also had the heart to resist Japan, he said: "After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, many people in our country thought that the Japanese front-line troops had exceeded their authority, and it was not the intention of Japan itself. Seeing that the Lugou Bridge Incident was a premeditated and long-term military operation, we must not allow the Japanese non-expansion faction to gain the upper hand. ”

"Come on! I think you're right, we can't afford to indulge Japan. Chiang Kai-shek nodded in agreement with Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Enlai stood up and said, "The chairman is wise!" Zhou Enlai said that he knew that the chairman had time and habits to rest and that it was inconvenient to disturb him when it was already late in the sky.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Enlai, rest assured, I will mobilize the whole country to unite to resist Japan and never compromise with the Japanese." ”

Zhou Enlai said: "Okay! As soon as our ** Red Army is reorganized, it will immediately go to the front line of resistance against Japan. ”

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "Enlai! What would be the situation if you and I had been separated from China back then? ”

Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "Now that the Japanese invaded, didn't you and I go to the national disaster together and walk together again?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled when he heard this, and from time to time he remembered the time of the Northern Expedition, but he felt a sense of guilt in his heart. The two cherished each other and said goodbye. Chiang Kai-shek said that it was difficult to walk on the mountain at night, and he must send a squad from the guard battalion to escort Zhou Enlai and Huang Huancheng; Liu Zhizhao.

After Zhou Enlai left, Chiang Kai-shek was in high spirits and had no sleep, so he made an exception and did not rest on time. Alone in the study, he thought about Zhou Enlai's words and the general trend of Sino-Japanese relations, and he had a new understanding of the war. Overnight, he sent a telegram to the camp directors and generals of all localities to express their determination to resist Japan, ordered all localities to be ready to go to the anti-Japanese front line at any time, and at the same time summoned Li Zongren to Lushan to discuss the anti-Japanese plan, and also ordered Song Zheyuan to swear to defend Lugou Bridge and Wanping to prepare for the war of resistance.

The next day, the camps and troops in various places telegraphed back to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that he would obey the orders of the central authorities, work with one heart with Germany, and reorganize the troops overnight and prepare to leave at any time. Chiang Kai-shek immediately delivered a speech in Lushan to mobilize the people of the whole country to resist Japan, and the so-called land is not divided into north and south, and people regardless of age have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. This is the famous Lushan speech.

The car drove slowly down the winding mountain road, in front of it was the car of the Guards Battalion, and there was another car behind it, Zhou Enlai, and they sat in one of the cars, except for Huang Huancheng; Liu Zhizhao is a driver and a member of the **.

Liu Zhizhao said: "Is the director the principal ......?"

"No!" Zhou Enlai said: "He is very determined to resist Japan. ”

Huang Huancheng said with a smile: "The director is out of the horse and everything is even. ”

Zhou Enlai was still a little worried: "But there are still difficulties in the reorganization of the Red Army. Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's appearance, he is not very clear about all kinds of things in the reorganization of the Red Army! ”

"That's natural." Liu Zhizhao said: "The Nanjing side is deliberately endangering our Red Army, especially Chen Zeen in that delegation, who is not a big official, and he still makes us difficult everywhere. ”

"Zenn!" Huan Cheng said: "This kid! ”

"How do you know each other?" Zhou Enlai said.

"Very cooked! He was one of the people who studied in Germany with us, his father was Chen Li, the chairman of the National Industrial and Commercial Bank, and he had an uncle who was a senator from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, named Chen Yi, who was very influential in Nanjing, and sometimes the principal had to give them three points to the Chen family. So as soon as he returned to China in 33, he was the commander of the 1st Division of the 12th Army. Huang Huancheng smiled coldly: "Hmph! This kid didn't fight a few battles, he rose to the top quite quickly, and now he is the commander of the Nanjing garrison. ”

"This kid!" Liu Zhizhao gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "China will be finished with this kind of person." ”

Zhou Enlai said: "Is there no one in your group who can compare with him. ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhizhao and Huang Huancheng said in unison: "Shen-Shao-Fan-." ”

"Shen Shaofan!" Zhou Enlai said thoughtfully.

"Not bad! Shaofan's family has been a soldier for generations, his uncle and father are all students of the father of the country, in terms of qualifications, Chen Zeen has no fight at all, when it comes to the army, Zeen has 10,000 horses, and Shaofan has 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals. "Huan Cheng Dao.

Zhou Enlai said: "The most important thing is that he has a benevolent heart. ”

"Also, when I was a student, Shen Shaofan and Chen Zeen were not right." Huang Huancheng said with a smile: "As long as Shen Shaofan joins the Kuomintang delegation, we will have a fight." ”

On July 10, 1937, Nanjing Qingyu Tingfeng Building (a famous brothel by the Qinhuai River in Nanjing at that time).

"Fight! That Shen Shaofan wants to fight with me, he is not humiliating himself. Chen Zeen sat at the round table and drank drunk, hugging the two kiln sisters who were showing off their branches left and right, and said arrogantly: "Then Shen Shaofan wants to fight with me, but there is no way." ”

"Division Commander Chen, I heard that the chairman of the committee has called Song Zheyuan, as long as the war in Pingjin is stable, he will take over the defense line of the National Youth League, order the National Youth League to move from Pingjin to Nanjing, and also order Shen Shaofan to be a member of the Kuomintang-Communist Cooperation Negotiators!" An officer in military uniform said.

"Hehe...... Chen Zeen smiled and hugged the waist of a kiln sister beside him and said: "Shen Shaofan is not afraid, he is in the party-state, isn't it his old man who helps him support him!" His old man and his two older brothers are now out of reach in India! ”

The officer said again: "But once he joins in, we will be in trouble for those things." ”

"Phew!" Chen Zeen slapped the table and said, "Fucking dare, Lao Tzu fucked him." As he spoke, he took out his pistol and threw it on the table, and the frightened kiln sisters screamed.

Chen Zeen looked at these kiln sisters and hugged them with a smile and said, "Oh! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Uncle, I hurt you tonight. ”

The officers at the table burst out laughing. One of them said: "Commander Chen! I envy you! Immediately marrying the daughter of the Jin family can be so romantic, I heard that the daughter of the Jin family is a great beauty! ”

"Beauty is beauty, but she doesn't understand sex. It's not as sensible as these kiln sisters. Chen Zeen laughed and hugged Sister Yao is kiss on the face, and Sister Yao put on a charming posture that caused everyone to swallow their saliva, and some even hugged Sister Yao next to them into the room.
