Chiang Kai-shek felt a little dry in his throat and said to Chen Guofu: "Guofu, how is the work of Ma Hongkui that I have entrusted you to do?" You can also introduce it in front of everyone. ”

Chen Guofu was very uneasy about Chiang Kai-shek's heavy use of this Dai Li, who looked like a sheep, and he already felt that this Dai Li, who would exert a lot of effort on him, was threatening the Investigation Section of the Central Party Department, which was being set up by Xu Enzeng, the head of the General Affairs Section of the Organization Department of the Central Committee. This investigation bureau was set up by Chen Guofu to expand the power of the Central Party Department, and Xu En, who studied in the United States, once boasted that he would definitely make it the same organization as the US FBI, and this matter had already been approved by Chiang Kai-shek, but Chen Guofu had high hopes for this organization, which was about to be made public.

Chen Guofu knew that if he did not come up with something significant at this time, he would be very disappointed by Chiang Kai-shek and would be very detrimental to the future development of his institution.

Chen Guofu stood up and said: "Chairman, the work concerning Ma Hongkui is progressing very smoothly, and I have sent someone to Qingdao with a letter from the chairman to find Ma Hongkui's father, Ma Fuxiang, the current mayor of Qingdao Special City. ”

On the night Ma Fuxiang received the letter, he went north to Zhengzhou to find Ma Hongkui, who was stationed there, and according to Ma Fuxiang's telegram, he asked the chairman to rest assured that Ma Hongkui had absolutely nothing to do with the Central Committee and the chairman, and Ma Hongkui did not order Kang Yushu to go to Taiyuan, which was Kang Yushu's personal behavior and had absolutely nothing to do with Ma Hongkui. In addition, Ma Fuxiang also said that he wanted to ask the chairman to transfer Ma Hongkui's 11 th Army south as soon as possible, and said that he would live in Ma Hongkui's army before the 11 th Army left Henan. ”

"Good! Ma Yunting is very knowledgeable. Dai Jitao couldn't help but praise.

Ma Fuxiang said that "Ma Hongkui has absolutely nothing to oppose the Central Committee and the Chairman of the National People's Committee," and he blamed Kang Yushu for going to Taiyuan to contact Yan Xishan, and no one present believed it, not even Chiang Kai-shek. However, Ma Fuxiang's request to transfer Ma Hongkui's 11th Army to the south was to reassure Chiang Kai-shek that the 11th Army transferred south was not only far away from Yan Xishan's forces, but must also be surrounded by the Central Army, which was equivalent to handing over Ma Hongkui to Chiang Kai-shek. Moreover, he stayed in the Eleventh Army just to watch Ma Hongkui, so there would be no accidents. With this telegram from Ma Fuxiang, it can be said that Ma Hongkui's troops have also solved it.

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't suppress his excitement, but he still deliberately covered it up, just nodded and said: "Ji Tao is right, Ma Yunting understands the general situation, takes the overall situation into account, and is very discerning. ”

Turning his head to He Yingqin, he said: "Just do what Ma Yunting wants, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will issue an order ordering Ma Hongkui's 11th Army to transfer south to Xuzhou." ”

After thinking for a while, he said: "After the Eleventh Army arrived in Xuzhou, it was expanded into the Fifteenth Route Army and Ma Hongkui was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fifteenth Route Army. ”

He also said to Yang Yongtai: "Today, Changqing went to President Tan and told him what I meant, saying that during the period when Ma Fuxiang was acting mayor of Qingdao, he properly handled the foreign-related incident of the yarn factory, and made outstanding contributions, and suggested that Ma Fuxiang be removed from the post of mayor of Qingdao Special City, and appointed him as the chairman of Anhui Province, and then he was immediately called to take office. ”

Everyone understands what Chiang Kai-shek meant, that is, he wants to reward the father and son. It's just that this reward is a bit big, and it is a bit unexpected to give such a big gift to the father and son at once. In particular, the post of chairman of Anhui Province is even more inappropriate.

Dai Jitao pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman of the Committee, Ma Fuxiang has indeed made great contributions, and it is also very appropriate for the Chairman to expand the 11th Army into the 15th Route Army, but can the chairman of this province postpone the appointment?" As a result of the chairman's strategic planning, the current situation is very favorable to us, and even if Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang really dare to use force against the central authorities, their chances of victory will be almost none. Once the war is over, many important positions need to be adjusted, whether to wait until then to arrange Ma Fuxiang. ”

The meaning that Dai Jitao wants to express is very clear, since he promised to expand Ma Hongkui's troops, this price is enough, Ma Hongkui will not be unwilling, and it will be redundant to give Ma Fuxiang another provincial chairman. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek needed a lot of official positions in order to win over and buy the generals of the anti-Chiang coalition army, but there were only a few provincial chairmen who could be placed at will, and now they were in short supply, so it was too rash to give them to Ma Fuxiang so easily.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could understand Dai Jitao's words, and said with a slight smile: "Ji Tao rest assured, once we defeat Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, we will have at least ten vacancies of provincial chairmen." Moreover, the position of chairman of this province is not for everyone. ”

Chiang Kai-shek means that I still have a place to give away, and the remaining generals of the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army don't say that there are not many people who are worth his capital to win over, even if there is, the provinces that Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang now occupy are also enough for him to settle.

Chen Guofu continued: "In addition, I also sent someone to contact Liu Zhenhua, and Liu Zhenhua's attitude is very clear, although he has a lot of opinions on the chairman's deployment of disarmament, he is opposed to using force to confront the central government. It's just that the generals under him are inclined to use force, and sending Chu Jingwei to Taiyuan is also a last resort. He also said that once Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and others decided to confront the central government by force, he had no choice but to go abroad to investigate. ”

Chiang Kai-shek bowed his head and thought for a while and said: "Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong army was very strong before the Second Zhifeng War, with more than 100,000 people, but since the siege of Xi'an failed and re-annexed to Feng Yuxiang, it caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates. Last year, we defeated Feng Yuxiang, and he switched to Yan Xishan. ”

Now his control over his troops is not as good as before, which can be seen from the fact that the only two army commanders under his subordinates have sent personnel to Taiyuan separately, but Liu Xueya has this idea is already very good. And if he goes abroad, his troops will be looser and more beneficial to us. In this way, if you send someone to give him 50,000 yuan and subsidize him to go abroad, you will say what I said, and when he returns to China, I will still reuse him. ”

"Have you had any contact with the two army commanders under Liu Xueya?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Chen Guofu again.

"Yes, Wan Xuancai has an arrogant attitude and is unmoved; Liu Zhenhua's younger brother Liu Maoen's attitude was a little ambiguous, but his attitude was not clear. ”

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek only listened carefully and did not express his opinions, he had no choice but to go on to give a detailed account of his contacts with Sun Dianying, Yue Xiangru, Jin Shuren, Liu Guitang, Liu Chunrong, Jing Yuexiu, and others. It's just that there is no gain in these people.

After listening, Chiang Kai-shek praised: "Very good! I'm still relieved that Guofu is doing things, and that's enough. Since Wan Xuancai is unwilling to get on my Jiang Zhongzheng's ship, let him drown. Liu Maoen's work can be done, but you don't have to worry about his business anymore. ”

Chiang Kai-shek ignored Chen Guofu, who was a little stunned, and said to He Yingqin: "Liu Maoen and Cixiu are classmates of Baoding Military Academy, and the two got along very well when they were in Baoding. ”

Chiang Kai-shek stopped Chen Guofu, who was still about to explain, and said: "Sun Dianying, Yue Xiangru, Liu Guitang, and Liu Chunrong are mostly bandits, and they are completely untrustworthy. ”

Chiang Kai-shek put his hands behind his back and paced slowly on the ground, as if to everyone, as if he was caring for himself: "Sun Dianying, the great thief of Tangling, is shameless, when he was stationed in Hebei, he actually stole and dug up the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi, because the incident occurred in Hebei, the central political axe was handed over to Yan Xishan to set up a military tribunal in Beiping to try the case, I wanted to take out Sun Dianying, a bandit, but this tomb robber has many outlaws who kill people and goods, and someone actually took the initiative to come out for Sun Dianying, I don't know for what reason, Yan Xishan finally concluded the case in a hasty manner. ”

"Now there are a lot of rumors in the society, saying that the reason why Sun Dianying was not prosecuted in the Tanglin case is mainly because Sun Dianying bribed many dignitaries in the party and state with stolen treasures, including me Jiang Zhongzheng and his wife, as well as Jingzhi, Ziwen, Kong Yongzhi, and even the dean of supervision. This is simply nonsense, not to mention the case tried by Yan Xishan, if Jiang Zhongzheng really took bribes, how could Yan Xishan pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to slander me. ”

"How can I, Jiang Zhongzheng, be bribed by a bandit? Don't talk about him Sun Dianying, no one can buy me, the reason is that I, Jiang Zhongzheng, offer too high a price, and no one can afford it. What I Jiang Zhongzheng wants is the Republic of China in Jingning, where the people are rich, who can give me this? Such a prosperous era is what I Jiang Zhongzheng will strive for all my life, how can a few pieces of gold, silver and jewelry move me Jiang Zhongzheng. If anyone can do it, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, don't have to buy it, I will give him this position. ”

"Don't say that Madame won't accept bribes from others, even if I respect Zhizhi and Ziwen, I dare to protect it. Let's just say respectfully, the dignified Minister of Military Affairs, the sofa in his house is still in use with a hole, presumably even the [***] person who advocates selfless dedication is nothing more than that, right? ”

"Therefore, in order to quell these rumors, Sun Dianying's work should not be done for the time being."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Chiang Kai-shek didn't want Sun Dianying, and there was still this level of consideration.

Regarding Sun Dianying's treasure theft case, there are many rumors in society, such as Sun Dianying gave Qianlong's Nine Dragons Sword to Chiang Kai-shek, Cixi's night pearl to Song Meiling, etc., and there are even rumors about He Yingqin, Song Ziwen, Yan Xishan, Shang Zhen and other high-ranking officials, but most of these high-ranking Kuomintang officials do not believe that Chiang Kai-shek will accept bribes. Everyone knew that Chiang Kai-shek was annoyed by these rumors, and this was Chiang Kai-shek looking for an opportunity to clear himself.

These people have known Chiang Kai-shek for a long time, and they all know that although Chiang Kai-shek's life in Shanghai was a little disorderly in his early years, since he arrived in Guangzhou, Chiang Kai-shek, who was bent on accomplishing a great cause that will go down in history, has been extremely strict with himself, even to the point of being a little demanding, and it is absolutely impossible to accept bribes, especially the stolen goods from tomb robbing.

Zhang Qun first said: "For these rumors, the chairman of the committee does not have to care, if Sun Dianying is said to be bribed, first of all, he will also give bribes to Yan Xishan, Shang Zhen and other people from the Jin Suijun, and now Sun Dianying has been colluding with Yan Xishan is a clear proof, if Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and Sun Dianying really start a war with the central government, these rumors will be destroyed immediately." ”

Wu Zhihui also said: "Sun Dianying, a tomb robber, is indeed hateful, digging people's graves has always been despised, and stealing and digging up the emperor's tomb is even more heinous, he is destroying our history and culture." It would indeed be a shame for such a tomb robber to remain in the army of the central political axe. Fortunately, he and Yan Xishan are connected, and the rumors will disappear soon. ”

The two of them took the lead, and everyone present also condemned Sun Dianying.

When everyone calmed down a little, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stopped talking about Sun Dianying without any boundaries, but said: "About Jing Yuexiu and Jin Shuren......"
