The moment the Kai-shek Mansion came out, An Yi no longer had time to take care of it, ※, item, the heavy affairs of the Disaster Relief Federation were all handed over to Chen Yu, the assistant of Chang Xun, and Liu Hao was officially promoted to the head of the Nanjing Intelligence Station, taking over the work in Chen Yu's hands and devoting himself to it.

An Yi plunged into the fourth section of the office banquet given to him by the staff department, and led Shi Pufang's staff team to begin to sort out and analyze the piles of various documents, intelligence, disaster reports and the civil war reports of the Sichuan-Guizhou warlords transferred from the second hall.

On 7 May, the incident in which the Guangshui Iron Bridge, which was blown up after the Northwest Army withdrew from Guangshui, Hubei, was finally proved to be the work of the Northwest Army after the joint investigation of the Investigation Bureau of the Central Party Department, the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and the Espionage Office. On 9 May, the Gui army under the command of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi was invincible all the way, and the troops were divided into three routes, and hit the Sanshui line outside the city of Guangzhou.

Just when Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were playing triumphant songs, Cai Tingcuo, who was stationed in Fujian, led his new army to attack Xu Jingtang, and several fierce battles beat the Xu Jingtang troops who were fluctuating in military spirit to flee north in panic, and at the same time, the three divisions commanded by He Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, who went south from Hunan, conquered Quanzhou in northern Guizhou and pounced on Guilin, and the Gui army was shaken by the enemy's abdomen. At the same time, Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui, who were jointly transported by the navy of the central government and major shipping companies, also entered the mouth of the Pearl River at this moment, and Li Mingrui, who was appointed as the commander of the 15th Division, carried the letter of appointment from the supervision of the Guangxi Provincial Public Office in his arms, and led the division under his command to fight a hundred battles in the Dongjiang area where the Gui army was stationed.

Feng Yuxiangwang began to see that the Gui army had won one victory after another, and seeing that the capture of Guangzhou was imminent, and the situation in the south was about to change dramatically, he immediately telegraphed to denounce Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and **, in order to achieve a state of mutual cooperation between the north and the south, and began to gather troops on the Hubei-Henan border, preparing to attack Wuhan.

At this critical moment, Tang Shengzhi, who saw the opportunity, sent a high-profile telegram to the whole country, assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Fifth Route Army appointed by the Central Military Commission, led two catties under his command, and another catty of the army, and the division drove to Lunan to peep into the front line of Zhengzhou and Kaifeng. Liao Lei was dismissed because of his close relationship with Bai Chongxi, and in desperation, he went south to Hong Kong by boat, transferred to Guangxi, and finally left the Hunan army that he had struggled for more than ten years, and officially returned to become the general of the Gui army, while another Guangxi army commander Li Pinxian was "unfortunately" suddenly infected and admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for recuperation, Tang Shengzhi immediately replaced Liao Lei's position with Liu Xing, and he personally served as the commander of the Eighth Army, waving his army south, ready to attack Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, which was embattled internally and externally.

Feng Yuxiang, who had just put on a combat posture, saw that the situation was not good, and had to urgently withdraw to the army on the front line in southern Henan. Shrink the formation and turn offense into defense.

Chiang Kai-shek saw Feng Yuxiang's plan, and without hesitation, he ordered Liu Zhi to lead his troops to repair the Guangshui Iron Bridge, and put on a posture of imminent attack on the north to attack Henan, and it took only one and a half days to transport five divisions to the line from Guangshui to Wusheng Pass, and the clouds of war instantly shrouded the land of southern Henan.

Seeing this, the generals of the Northwest Army shouted in unison, Feng Yuxiang was worried that his subordinates would be divided and annihilated, so he hurriedly ordered Han Fuqu to blow up the Wushengguan Railway Longdao, and then led all the troops to retreat west. Although Han Fuqu blew up the pass, the Sixth Army under his command was assembled in Luoyang and was no longer willing to drive further westward. The reason is that Commander-in-Chief Chiang has secretly promised that after the defeat of Feng Yuxiang, the chairman of Henan Province will be the Han Concubine Qu, who has resolutely devoted himself to the revolution and made great contributions, and sent the first phase of 2 million in advance to subsidize military expenses to ensure that the officers and men of the Han Ministry will not worry about food and drink after defecting to the Central Committee.

At present, coupled with the famine in the northwest, there is a danger of starvation and loss of head at any time when entering Shaanxi, after a little hesitation, Han Fuqu, who has long wanted to be the governor of a province, made the right choice, and since then betrayed the old marshal Feng Yuxiang, who always wears a second-class military uniform all year round, and Feng Yuxiang is still in the dark at this time.

Under the double persecution of Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi, and under the imminent imminent movement of Yan Xishan in the north, Feng Yuxiang, commander of the Northwest Army, frequently ordered Han Fuqu to blow up the Wushengguan Railway Pass to stop the Central Army from going north, but because it blocked the lifeline of the North-South Railway, "a large number of disaster relief materials from the central government could not be transported northward" finally attracted unanimous condemnation from the whole country, especially the people in the northwest who have always supported Feng Yuxiang, and looked forward to food and medicine assistance from the south, and as a result, the railway was bombed into a war. The only hope of survival was cut off, and it was successively transferred to the opposite side of Feng Yuxiang, and the Northwest Army, which was already fluctuating, was quickly divided because of this.

At this point, Chiang Kai-shek still showed his broad-mindedness to the whole people with a high profile, and called Feng Yuxiang at both ends, euphemistically persuading him to come to Beijing to take up his post, so as to eliminate the scourge of war and give the people a stable environment for survival and development, but secretly mobilized Fang Zhenwu's four divisions to the west of Xuzhou, and pressed Henan step by step. This greatly disappointed the centrists in the party, who had hoped to reach a consensus through peace negotiations, and gradually turned to Chiang Kai-shek, thus leaving Feng Yuxiang isolated on all sides.

Hu Hanmin, who had always had a good relationship with Feng Yuxiang, even denounced Feng Yuxiang at an enlarged meeting of the Central Party Headquarters, saying that Feng Yuxiang was a hypocrite who had done more evil than Chen Jiongming and the Gui warlords, that he was a disguised ruler who ignored party discipline and state law, and that he was the main culprit in causing the famine of tens of millions of people in the northwest.

On the 14th, Liu Zhenhua, a general under Feng Yuxiang, also telegraphed the whole country at this juncture, asking Feng Yuxiang to go abroad for inspection, which actually meant to let Feng Yuxiang go into the wilderness.

In the following days, An Yi was very busy, analyzing and predicting intelligence, establishing and improving the intelligence network, striving for more military funds and equipment from the central government for the 44th Army and Shi Zhen's Department, purchasing and transporting disaster relief materials, calling Ou Yaoting in the United States to ask for negotiations with relevant US parties to purchase wheat and corn, and dispatching intelligence personnel and military technicians. Ask An Yi why he sighs so much? An Yi replied that it was difficult to say a word, telling everyone that as long as they watched and thought more, they would soon sigh like themselves.

"The report, Director Chen, who was transferred from the post of director of the Ordnance Industry Administration to the deputy director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, asked to see him." Shen Fengdao entered the door and came to An Yi's side and whispered.

"Please!"

An Yi hurriedly stood up and went to the mountain. Welcoming Chen Yi, the current deputy minister of military affairs and acting minister of military affairs, into the office to say a few words, An Yi drove the staff officers around him out of the office, closed the door and returned to Chen Yi to sit down, and asked respectfully: "What advice does Chief Chen have here?" ”

Chen Yi smiled slightly, looked at the polite An Yi and replied in a low voice: "I am ordered by the special meeting of the Military Commission to ask General An to take up the post of chief of appeasement on the border of Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan, and concurrently serve as the director of the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan Disaster Relief and Resettlement Committee. ”

An Yi was surprised and hurriedly stood up: "Chief Chen's words are serious! How can the juniors be worthy of the chief's pound, "Please, word?" If it is said that if you lead the troops to the battlefield of Kang Zhan, the younger generation will definitely feel lucky and quickly rush to the first, but this position of the governor of the border of Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan is not something that the younger generation can do with ignorant young people with shallow qualifications. ”

"An Yi, why did you kid come with me like this? Could it be that General Jingzhi temporarily acted as Minister of Military Affairs and removed you from the post of deputy commander and chief of staff of the Third Army in the past few days, and you held a grudge against me because of this? Chen Yi couldn't help but sink her face.

An Yi hurriedly sat down and kept waving his hand: "Senior, don't misunderstand!" The juniors know that the seniors have been arguing with Chief He for a long time about this, and the juniors are too late to be grateful, how can they be on guard against the seniors? The juniors just told the truth, and they didn't dare to do those things that slap their swollen faces and make them fat because of the trust of the principal and the seniors.

If you just let the younger generation take the post of director of the disaster relief and resettlement committee, the younger generation gritted their teeth and brought a little more private money to western Hubei to make up the money, and if the younger generation is allowed to take the title of the governor of the border of the three provinces and grasp the military and political power in the border areas of the three provinces of Hunan and Hubei, I am afraid that the younger generation will be killed, and the little good reputation that comes back from the rain of bullets and bullets will be gone! ”

Chen Yi pointed at the panicked An Yi and laughed, and it took a while to stop laughing, nodded and said: "Actually, we all know your concerns, and we all understand that after General Zhang Xianghua and Zhang Benzi were reappointed as the commander of the Fourth Division, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Western Expedition to Gui Army to collect more than 10,000 soldiers, and now with the gradual increase of troops in his hands, there is a trend of resurgence, it is not easy to command!"

However, this cannot be blamed on General Xiang Hua, let alone the inaction of the central government, who said that all armies and divisions are unwilling to accept officers and soldiers who do not understand the language? Rather than letting the grass go out and causing harm to the two lakes, it is better to let the Fourth Division under General Xiang Hua's command have similar customs and basically the same language.

However, some people reported to me that the 16th Division of Yin Jinan and the 2nd Division of the 44th Army of Xiangxi were not authentic, and they disarmed all the weapons and equipment of the prisoners, and quietly purchased them from friendly forces at a price of 20 yuan per long gun, 15 yuan per short gun, and 100 yuan per machine gun. ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "It seems that there is really no impermeable wall in the world!" The purpose is to collect these disorganized and old and inferior weapons, and send them to the Jiangnan Factory to be dismantled and repaired, replace the barrels, and classify them into storage after maintenance, so as to provide some high-quality and inexpensive equipment for the provincial security forces on the second line. Letting those workers who have been trained in the factory have something to do is also a contribution to the army, right? ”

Chen Yi smiled again, pointed at An Yi and said, "I'm afraid you kid has also made a lot of money from it, right?" The Military Commission has no opinion on this, it has been promised before the Western Expedition that the seizure will be handled by the ministries themselves, so no one can look down on you, but you have embarrassed General Xiang Hua, he collected more than 10,000 Gui Army prisoners More than sixty percent of them have no weapons, according to the proposal of the commander-in-chief and the consent of the Military Commission, General Xiang Hua will next lead his troops to clear out the He Long Department entrenched in the mountains of Hunan and Hubei, but the soldiers under his command are quite short of weapons and ammunition, and called me three times to ask me to solve problems for the officers and men of the Fourth Division, But now the main energy and most of the supplies of the central government are giving priority to satisfying the armies and divisions on the Hubei-Henan border and the Longhai frontline, and it is very difficult for me to do it! ”

An Yi was slightly stunned, I don't know what Chen Yi wanted to achieve by saying so much? An Yi knew that the reason why Zhang Benqing suppressed He Long's Red Army was that He Long was promoted to the commander of the 20th year of the National Revolutionary Army at the end of the first phase of the Northern Expedition, which was the result of Zhang Ben's recommendation, and later continued to attack the direct warlord troops in Henan, and He Long's 20 years were also fighting bravely under the command of Zhang Ben, the commander of the front army, so it is understandable that Zhang Ben was ordered to face He Long in line with the practice of untying the bell and having to tie the bell, but An Yi didn't know if Chen Yi wanted to solve the equipment problem for Zhang Ben's headquarters or for other reasons, Therefore, it is only possible to ask truthfully:

"Senior, the junior is confused for a while, can you be more direct, otherwise the junior really doesn't know what to do!"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The Fourth Division is stationed in Jingxiang, and you know many of their division commanders and regimental commanders and have a good relationship with each other. ”

An Yi was so frightened that he jumped up and refused loudly: "Uncle Chen, you can spare the little nephew!" The little nephew can't do it, he definitely can't do it! Think about it, old man, when General Xiang Hua was the deputy commander after the Northern Expedition"

My nephew is an engineer battalion commander, how do you let my little nephew command Xiang Hua's seniors? Also, if the little nephew's one hundred and fifty catties Uncle Chen can afford it, even if he cuts it with a knife and sells it, he can buy as many guns and ammunition as he sells and send it to the Fourth Division! ”

Chen Yi couldn't help laughing, his beard shook with laughter, and it took a while to hold back his laughter, wipe away the tears from laughter and ask, "You really don't want to take office?" ”

"I don't want to! You can't go if you kill your little nephew! ”

"Okay, then I'll report your words to the commander-in-chief truthfully, it's up to the commander-in-chief to decide, and I can't control it!"

"Uncle Xie Chen! Little nephew to send you! ”

"You save it, it's just a floor away, you send a fart?"
