Chapter 947: To add insult to injury
readx;
The cool autumn breeze blows the land south of the Yangtze River, and the grass and trees all over the mountains begin to wither. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe scarcity slowly increased, and every morning, you could see the crystal dew swaying and rolling on the trembling branches and leaves.
The city of Nanchang seems to be withering with the advent of autumn, and the originally neat and refreshing old streets are full of unkempt and ragged refugees from the north, and thousands of refugees bring their families with them. Huddled under the eaves of the dwellings, piles of old and young who could no longer distinguish their true faces were wrapped tightly under damp and tattered quilts, and refugees without quilts huddled together in twos and threes. Lying horizontally in the autumn wind, the pitiful rice taken out by the well-wishers was snatched up in the blink of an eye by the hungry victims who swarmed up and full of green light, and the rice grains and soup residues were sprinkled on the ground. It will attract a group of refugees to scramble to lick and arrive.
More than 10 kilometers south of the old Nanchang, is the flood of victims, overcrowded, all the social order has been disrupted, Jiangnan Group and the old Nanchang government, chamber of commerce built in front of each disaster relief porridge shed, waiting in line to receive rice porridge refugees for several miles, see the order of the military police and the old Nanchang people frightened, but extremely sad.
Compared with all parts of Jiangxi, the more than 300,000 victims who can escape to Lao Nanchang are extremely lucky, at least the Jiangnan Group under General An Yi and the Lao Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, which is kind and charitable, can ensure that every disaster victim has two bowls of gruel every day. Sick suffering folks. There is a roving medical team from Gangnam Hospital of Fraternity.
The citizens of old Nanchang, intellectuals, nearly one million workers, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade of the Anjia Army generously donated cash, food, quilts, and clothes to feed and clothe hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, so that they could survive, and the number of people who died every day was only 50, and these people who died in other places were given a thin coffin by the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce and put into the ground for peace.
Under the leadership of Zhou Chong'an and Lao Shoudao, the responsible persons at all levels of the Jiangnan Group inspected one porridge shed after another every day, and repeatedly instructed that not a single disaster-stricken villager who had been displaced to old Nanchang should be allowed to starve to death and freeze to death. The officers and soldiers of the garrison of the An Jia Army, with a kind attitude, divided the victims into large groups according to their places of origin, and lived in batches into the warehouses and freight yards with shed roofs vacated by the major factories and firms under the Jiangnan Group, and hundreds of thousands of victims were finally able to struggle to survive, and they were grateful to the soldiers of the An Jiajun, Mr. Lao, the boss of the Jiangnan Group, several great benevolent presidents of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, and the kind old Nanchang people.
With the increasing floods, more and more refugees have left their homes and are rolling south.
Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other big cities are overcrowded, and the streets are stinky. There were dead bodies lying on the side of the road everywhere, and the city of Suzhou even violently looted grain stores and shops. More than 400 people were killed and injured.
All signs indicate that the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China was an eventful year of many disasters and difficulties for the Chinese nation.
In the beautiful Lulu of Lushan Mountains, Song Ziwen, vice president of the State Council and Minister of Finance, Kong Xiangxi, Minister of Industry, Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, party and government officials, Huang Guo, interim chairman of the Beiping Political Branch, He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs who returned from Sichuan, and Yang Yongtai, who became a scapegoat because of his bad relations with the An Yi clique and was relegated to Wuhan as secretary general, gathered together to discuss how to deal with the complicated current situation, the flow of refugees, the crisis in North China, the crisis on the Sino-Burmese border, and others. The confrontation between the two Guangxi and the Fujian rebellion and other important militaristic matters.
On 17 August, Feng Yuxiang sent a telegram to the wilderness and went to Mount Tai again to live in seclusion and study, the situation in North China was slightly stable, and under the pressure of the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Song Zheyuan Army, and the Japanese army, the anti-Japanese alliance government led by Feng Yuxiang finally collapsed. Feng Yuxiang mustered up Yu Yong and tried his best to gather the 60,000 old troops again. Running to the east and west, they have taken refuge in the Central Army, the Jin Army and even the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army that has been in North China for more than ten years, and the famous Northwest Army has since become a historical term, leaving Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu's two teams with the full support of the first people, but also under the siege of ten times their own armies, tired of running for their lives, and the day is not safe. At this point, Chiang Kai-shek finally completely removed the big stone in the Re and Cha areas of North China, and once again defeated his political opponent Feng Yuxiang cleanly, and the situation in North China gradually stabilized.
However, the sudden hostility between China and Britain and the ensuing "confrontation between the armies on the Sino-Burmese border and the riots of ethnic minorities" prompted the ambitious and eyeing Japanese to become restless again, and there were abnormal movements of Japanese troops along the Great Wall and in the Recha and Chacha areas.
At this time, with the return of Soong Ziwen and his entourage, the largest opposition Hu Hanmin clique and the warlords of Liangguang and Guangxi concentrated their firepower to criticize Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, strongly demanded that the central government publish the entire contents of the "Sino-British Loan Agreement on Cotton Grain Loans," and repeatedly appealed to the whole society: Demand that the central government, Chiang Kai-shek, and He Yingqin publish the full text of the contents of the "Honghu Agreement" and the "He-Mei Agreement" in North China, which humiliated the country, otherwise. The two Guangxi generals quickly convened the "National Congress of the Kuomintang Central Committee" to deliberate and approve the establishment of the Guangzhou Central Government.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was gathering dozens of divisions to encircle and suppress the Red Army, was exhausted and anxious, and spent every day in lengthy meetings, "news and war of words" for China and foreign countries, and frequent political declarations.
The main force of the Red Army, which had lost to the central Soviet area of Fujian, took this opportunity to make a sudden attack, beating Liu Heding's division of the Kuomintang Central Army in the direction of Fujian, and within half a day, discarding the county seat of Lianping and eight important towns and towns one after another; In the direction of Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan, He Longbu, who had defeated Liu Xiang's Fourth Division, quickly went north, and successively attacked Changyang, Yidu and Songzi in western Hubei Province, and after collecting all the spoils, he lost his trace again; The Huang Han Division, which was entrenched in the Sichuan-Hunan border area, first joined hands with the He Long Division and successfully defeated the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army. Later, with astonishing degree and courage, he attacked Fengdu, and in only three and a half hours, he completely annihilated the Fengdu garrison of Liu Xiang's department, looted all the materials in the city, and quickly escaped into the mountains and mountains of the Enshi area, and in just one month, the department has rapidly grown to more than 13,000 people.
At this time, refugees from the Central Plains and Huaibei fled south like a tide to make a living, and by the end of August, the number had reached more than 6 million.
Because the disaster relief efforts of old Nanchang over the past few years have become famous all over the world, millions of desperate refugees, with the last glimmer of hope for survival, poured into the Nanchang area like a swarm of locusts. Relatively speaking, the situation of the experienced and prepared old Nanchang is better, Nanchang City is already overcrowded, full of dangers, corpses and feces are all over the streets, and it is impossible to clean up.
What is even more terrifying is that the intelligence department has already seen a pervasive number of ** people appear in the ranks of the refugees, if the propaganda and agitation of the first class causes large-scale public anger and riots, not only the extremely important strategic city of Nanchang will not be guaranteed, but also dozens of divisions and tens of millions of military spending, and it will take several years to form such a great cause of suppressing the Communist Party, which will be seriously damaged, and it is very likely that the success will fall short because of the difficulties of the refugees.
Chiang Kai-shek's urgent military and political core meeting. It lasted four and a half hours. Two decisions were made at the meeting: He Yingqin and Huang E rushed to North China again to skillfully negotiate with the Japanese. It is imperative that the Japanese stop their small movements and keep the situation in North China stable; Xu Yuanquan, Liu Zhenhua, and Chen Jiji, commanders-in-chief of the Henan-Hubei-Anhui Suppression of Bandits, were ordered to be responsible for clearing out the Helong and Huanghan divisions in western Hubei respectively, as well as the Ye Jinbo troops in eastern Hubei and the Shenze Minbu Red Army in southern Hunan.
However, in the face of the thorny China-Myanmar border crisis and the refugee crisis, the conference has been unable to come up with an effective solution. The participants looked heavy, the pressure increased dramatically, and they were silent and helpless.
In the end, it was Chiang Kai-shek's think tank Yang Yongtai who took the initiative to stand up and earnestly suggested: "The commission, now it seems that only one person can share the worries of the party-state and the commission." Although his subordinates were reluctant to mention his name, at this critical moment related to the rise and fall of the party-state, he had to serve the party-state loyally and put aside personal emotional grievances. This person is General An Yi, who is highly respected and respected by the people. His subordinates implored the commission to summon General An Yi again. At present, there is only General An Yi. The only one who can win the trust and support of millions of refugees is General An Yi, who has the strength to help the people, and "a pure heart that worries about the country and the people." ā
Kong Xiangxi gave Yang Yongtai a roll of his eyes, thinking that you, Yang Yongtai, are so ill-intentioned. By this time. He did not forget to win the trust of the chairman of the committee by being generous to others, and did not forget to weaken the economic strength of Anyi Group again for grandiose reasons.
The Chen brothers glanced at each other and did not say a word, both of them knew in their hearts that Yang Yongtai's opinion was the best strategy at present, but the two were unwilling to echo the opinion of the leader of the political science department, let alone help the political opponent carry the sedan chair in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
He Yingqin pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and with an admiring smile, he nodded to Yang Yongtai frequently.
Chiang Kai-shek sighed secretly, glanced around, and finally stopped on Song Ziwen's face: "Minister Song, what do you think of Mr. Changqing's opinion?" ā
Song Ziwen didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Very good!" I suggested that Mr. Changqing be sent to Syria for a trip, and I happened to hear that Dean Wang and Chairman Lin Sen also had this intention, and it might be better to go together. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, looking at the indifferent Song Ziwen and Yang Yongqin, who was suffocating and red-faced, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, thinking that if Yang Yongtai went to southern Sichuan, if he was lucky, he would come back with his tail between his tails.
He Yingqin, who is an old qualification, dares to offend anyone, that is, he does not dare to offend Song Ziwen, Chiang Kai-shek's uncle and God of Wealth, but seeing that Yang Yongtai is really pitiful, and he is unwilling to give up this opportunity to make Yang Yongtai owe himself favors, so he snorted, and when everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said kindly:
"Chair, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Changqing's suggestion is very correct, just send someone to southern Sichuan, eliminate the misunderstanding between the central government and southern Sichuan, and smoothly invite General An to preside over the overall disaster relief situation, which still needs to be further discussed.
Ying Qin rushed to Sichuan on the order of the commissioner to mediate the civil war in Sichuan, and the task of promoting the truce of all factions and unanimously suppressing the Communist Party was basically completed. For example, General An Yi's public enterprises in southern Sichuan quickly entered the artesian wells and Fushun areas of the central network and were assigned to the Xufu Prefecture, and successfully established the Bashu Salt Industry Corporation with the eight traditional local salt merchants to jointly mine and produce salt mines in southern Sichuan in the form of a joint-stock system. In the past few years, we have been able to organize the diversion of the victims in an orderly manner and resettle them in southern Sichuan, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and even in the southern Yunnan reclamation area, where General An is building a large number of buildings, which not only solves the problem of insufficient manpower in the frontier areas but also solves the big trouble for the party-state. ā
Everyone carefully considered He Yingqin's words, and Chiang Kai-shek urged with satisfaction: "Very good! Keiyuki continued. ā
He Yingqin nodded respectfully: "Obey!" Generally speaking, although I have had some unhappiness and misunderstandings with General An Yi, at the height of the interests of the party and the state, the goals are completely identical, and I believe that General An Yi will not refuse the call of the commission and the Central Committee, and will bravely shoulder the heavy burden.
Moreover, General An has political and administrative opinions about the Central Committee and misunderstanding of the Central Military Commission, but so far, apart from the temporary return of Brother Kanhou to replace him as deputy chief of staff, General An still retains the posts of member of the Central Military Commission, member of the Central Supervisory Commission, and deputy chief of staff of the Central Military Commission, and has issued orders three times to exterminate the Huang Han Department of the Sichuan-Hunan Red Army. It was also well executed, not only defeating the Huang Han army and driving it out of the Sichuan-Hunan region, but also recovering three remote counties that had been out of control for many years, and establishing effective government institutions. From this point of view, General An still puts the overall situation of the party and the state first. ā
Everyone pondered and nodded frequently. An Yi's strong patriotism and the Akagi that served the country and the nation are remembered by everyone, and it is undeniable.
Chiang Kai-shek saw that everyone's opinions were basically unanimous, and immediately stood up and announced loudly: "That's all for today's meeting, Ziwen and Yongzhi, you two will stay for a while, and Zu Yan will also stay together to talk about the construction of the party headquarters in southern Sichuan." ā
Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi glanced at each other and sat down again.
Chen Lifu smiled slightly, and when he saw Chiang Kai-shek going to add water, he sat down next to Kong Xiangxi and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yongzhi, it seems that we have to go." ā
Kong Xiangxi sighed helplessly: "If you don't go, what can you do to solve the current problem?" You also know An Yi's temper, if you want him to come back, it's not so easy, "By the way, have you received the invitation for the Commodity Expo and Key Project Bidding Meeting of the Four Southwest Provinces?" ā
"No! The younger brother is still wondering, it stands to reason that General An will not be so careless, let alone petty. Chen Lifu replied with a frown.
Song Ziwen put down the teacup and smiled coldly: "An Yi boy is playing a conspiracy, the major multinational groups in Europe and the United States received his invitation telegram a month ago, and several enterprise groups in Germany, Belgium, Sweden and France all expressed their readiness to accept the invitation, but he did not say a word to our central government, it was clearly a threat, if we were angry and ignored him." It will certainly make a fool of itself in the international community, and we cannot veto this economic revitalization strategy of the four southwestern provinces and regions by administrative order, and we are in a dilemma! An Yi's grandson is becoming more and more insidious
