Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wind Rises in Southern Hebei (11)

Lu Zuo said happily: "Please tell Fang, as long as it is not too much, I think the chairman will definitely agree." ”

Han Fuyu said solemnly: "First, the Hebei security army immediately released the captured people and guns, and promised not to enter the Henan territory. Second, it is necessary to transfer Shi Jingting out of the 20th Division as soon as possible, he is now purging the 20th Division's loyal people, and in time, I cannot guarantee control of the 20th Division. Third, unless the old brethren of the Northwest Army come to fight me, I will not fight them. Henan and Shaanxi provinces are connected, and once the situation changes, Henan will surely be the battlefield of the two armies, and I ask that Henan be transferred to another province to be the chairman of the province, and Hebei, Shandong, and Anhui can do so. As long as the chairman agrees to these three conditions, I will absolutely obey the chairman's command, and I will never have two thoughts from now on. Han Fuyu said categorically, and moved his arm vigorously.

After listening to Han Fuyu's conditions, Lu Zuo thought to himself: "These three conditions are not excessive, and the rule of becoming the provincial chairman in another place is that Han Fuyu himself does not mention it, and probably the chairman will do it. This first condition is the best, and it is estimated that the chairman of the committee will spend at most 200,000 or 300,000 oceans to appease that Song Zhewu. The most difficult thing is this second condition, transferring Shi Jingting without Feng Yuxiang's nod can't be done at all, if Feng Yuxiang wants to agree, the chairman must offer a suitable price, and Feng Yuxiang will never agree if the bid is lower. Thinking about it again, he negotiated Han Fuyu, but it was a great achievement, although Han Fuyu had prerequisites, the chairman of the committee would not care. As for how to deal with Feng Yuxiang, let the chairman worry about it himself. Thinking of this, Lu Zuo stood up and said, "Xiang Fang, I'll go and send a report to the chairman, and your brother will wait for good news!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Nanjing, Lin Wei was the first to report to Chiang Kai-shek with Song Zhewu's telegram, and since Laiyuan returned, he was responsible for the liaison with Song Zhewu. Not long after Lin Wei arrived, Shang Zhen's telegram also arrived. To be exact, it was not Shang Zhen's telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, he just forwarded the telegram sent to him by Song Zhewu and the telegram he sent to Han Fuyu, and he did not say a word. The meaning is very clear, that is, to tell Chiang Kai-shek: "I am only the nominal chief of Song Zhewu, and how to solve this matter depends on you, the big boss, nodding and making a decision." ”

Yang Yongtai was also called quickly, and after reading the telegram, Yang Yongtai asked with some puzzlement: "Where did the 26th Brigade and the 55th Division come from in Henan?" Yang Yongtai can be said to be Chiang Kai-shek's chief of staff, a civilian official who gives advice to Chiang Kai-shek, and he is not very clear about these specific military matters. Lin Wei, the chief of staff, was clear, and explained to Yang Yongtai: "Mr. Changqing doesn't know that the name of the Northwest Army is downsizing, but it is actually an expansion. The personnel who have been laid off are only laid off from the old and weak, and the rest are organized into separate units, but they have not been reported, and naturally there are no official numbers, and these numbers are all self-appointed. Henan's Shi Yousan and Han Fuyu did even more excessively, and they were basically elite soldiers after being downsized. Other powerful factions are also similar, and they are all playing tricks with the central government. ”

"So these two teams are elite soldiers! One annihilation, one defeat, this Song Wenge is really not simple, now it seems that the chairman is still far-sighted! Yang Yongtai duly patted Chiang Kai-shek on the back. Lin Wei followed Yang Yongtai and said: "Mr. Changqing is right, the chairman is still wise, and it is indeed a clever move to hold this Song Wenge." With this Song Wenge here, now we are alive in the whole game of chess. Wooing Song Zhewu, Lin Wei made the greatest effort, and then said a little proudly: "This Song Wenge is indeed not simple, judging from the telegram, the 26th Brigade should have fallen into his trap and was ambushed by him." But this 55th Division was defeated head-on, and there was no possibility of tricks, which was rare. ”

The two henchmen took this beat, and Chiang Kai-shek was secretly complacent in his heart! It's not that he is boasting, but if he were a different person, he really wouldn't pay attention to Song Zhewu, who hid in the ravine of Taihang Mountain, neither showing the mountains nor dew. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "You two don't pat my ass, in the final analysis, there is such a situation now, it is all Changqing's strategy!" 'Settle the Gui line by force; economic solutions to the Northwest Army; Use political tactics to solve the Jin Sui army. Changqing's method has already paid off. The military salaries paid to the Northwest Army are all paid according to the downsized troop posts, and they are never in arrears. It's just that it is not handed over to the troops, but directly to Feng Huanzhang, and he wants to pay his troops that are not recognized by the central government, and he can only fight the idea of these military salaries issued by the central government. At present, none of the troops with the number can get the full salary, and their military morale is no longer stable, but with his many years of prestige, most of his subordinates do not dare to move. But he is narrow-minded and can't tolerate Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan and others who betrayed him back then, which gives us a chance. Shi Yousan has always looked forward to Han Fuyu's horse, and pulled Han Fuyu over, and Shi Yousan also came over, these two are the most capable people under Feng Huanzhang, as long as they throw themselves to the center, Feng Huanzhang will not worry, at least when we solve the Gui system, there is no need to be distracted. The representative of Li Zongren's faction is at Feng Huanzhang in Zhengzhou, and Zhong Hui (Shao Lizi's character Zhonghui) is also there, it's ridiculous that he is still waiting for the price to sell! Lu Zuo is in Kaifeng, but Han Fuyu is still hesitating, but Wen Ge defeated his so-called 55th Division in one fell swoop, I think he should be sober; The use of political tactics against Yan Xishan was also effective, and Ying Bai (黄郛字膺白, then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Axe) sent back news from Taiyuan that Yan Baichuan had promised to support the central government and crusade against the Gui faction. Yan Baichuan was suspicious, and now that Wen Ge was by his side, he would never dare to act rashly; In terms of the Gui family, Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng are not inferior to Yan Baichuan in cunning, and they are no less brave than Feng Huanzhang, which is really a big trouble for the party and the state. As the saying goes, 'A goose does not fly without a head.'" 'I'm going to knock out the heads of these local factions first!' Originally, I wanted to wait for Tang Mengxiao to clean them up after he succeeded in North China, but Li Delin actually instructed the Wuhan Political Branch to make a resolution to remove Lu Diping, who was appointed by the central government, from the post of chairman of Hunan Province on February 19, on the grounds of "sneaking ordnance and conspiracy to sabotage," and succeed him Jian. and sent the 52nd Division Ye Qi Division and the 15th Division Xia Wei Division from Hubei to Hunan Province and drove away Lu Diping. The appointment and dismissal of the chairman of a province appointed by the central government without permission is no different from a rebellion! Li Delin, who was the chairman of the Wuhan Military Branch, even said that he didn't know about it, and he didn't know why he ran to the Shanghai Concession to hide? This is clearly a thief with a weak heart, and he is afraid that the central government will investigate it. It is true that it is still possible to do evil in heaven, but it is impossible for people to live if they do evil. Don't wait for the affairs of the Gui family, I will instruct Tang Mengxiao to enter Beiping as soon as possible. Changqing, although Yue Jun initiated the rebellion in Wuhan, if you handle it specifically, you must also tell Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui to step up preparations and respond to the central government's rebellion at any time. ”

Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei are both central officials and confidants of Chiang Kai-shek, so they are naturally very clear about these things. The reason why Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi dared to remove Hunan Provincial Chairman Lu Diping in the name of the Wuhan Military Branch was because Chiang Kai-shek had been vigorously supporting Lu Diping and confronting the Gui faction. They wanted to use the dismissal of Lu Diping to see whether Chiang Kai-shek wanted to force the Gui faction to completely disarm, or whether he wanted to force them to leave the Chinese political arena. But what none of them expected was that Chiang Kai-shek wanted their lives. Chiang Kai-shek had already ordered Liu Xing, commander of the 27th Army, and Hao Mengling, commander of the 54th Division, stationed in Hebei, to be shot on the spot as soon as Bai Chongxi was captured.

Yang Yongtai saw that Chiang Kai-shek was a little angry, so he changed the topic: "Wen Ge said in the telegram that he had seized a lot of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in Zengjiazhai, although he did not explicitly say that it was obtained by Sun Dianying's tomb robbery, but it was pointed out that the leader of the bandits was Sun Dianying's subordinates, which clearly told us that this was a thief." Did the chairman of the committee ask Wen Ge to hand over these ancient books, calligraphy and paintings? Yang Yongtai heard that Chiang Kai-shek's words just now were no longer called 'Song Wenge', but Wenge. This shows that Chiang Kai-shek has accepted this Song Zhewu, although it is not yet trust, at least appreciation, so he also quickly changed his title.

As soon as Yang Yongtai changed the topic, Chiang Kai-shek also understood that Yang Yongtai was vaguely reminding him that there were too many things to say today, and some things could only be understood, not spoken, and could not be said in the mouth of the leader.

Chiang Kai-shek, who understood it, said to Yang Yongtai: "Ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, are the essence of our Chinese nation's thousands of years of inheritance, and they are all our treasures abroad, and they must be properly kept. In addition, you have to give me a copy of the roster, and you have to tell the people below that I, Jiang Zhongzheng, are staring at these national treasures, who dares to risk the condemnation of the world, don't blame me Jiang for being unsympathetic. ”

Yang Yongtai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with the words of the chairman, these cultural relics were preserved. Yang Yongtai is a literati, and he naturally has a soft spot for these rare books, famous calligraphy and paintings, and knows that their true value is by no means measurable by money. Therefore, he rushed to Song Zhewu and did not swallow it privately, but handed it over to him, and he was inexplicably grateful to him. Since then, Yang Yongtai has been silently helping Song Zhewu within the scope of his ability.

At this time, the attendant sent another telegram, and after Chiang Kai-shek read it, he did not have any expression, but handed it to Yang Yongtai, and paced the ground with his hands behind his back.

After reading the telegram, Yang Yongtai handed it to Lin Wei, and he lowered his head and pondered. Lin Wei thought about it after reading it and said, "Chairman of the Committee, this Han Fuyu's offer is too high. First of all, Wenge will ask for 1 million, and we might as well directly help him form a brigade of 7,000 people if we pay 1 million. The latter two conditions are more difficult, as long as we agree, we have to nod Feng Yuxiang. ”

Chiang Kai-shek only nodded at Lin Wei's words, but was noncommittal.

Yang Yongtai saw Chiang Kai-shek's gaze glancing at him, knowing that this was asking his opinion, he wanted to help Song Zhewu, but he felt that it was not very easy to say, so he said vaguely: "These three things, in addition to Wen Ge's one million, the other two things are difficult to say; It's easy to say. "Oh," Chiang Kai-shek and Lin Wei were both a little surprised almost at the same time.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Yongtai was a little excited, after all, the chairman didn't expect it, he said a little proudly: "This second condition and the third condition are actually one condition, if Shi Jingting wants to leave the 20th Division, he must be given a better position, and without a provincial chairman in his capacity, Feng Yuxiang will not agree." Han Fuyu wants to change places to become the provincial chairman, but there are people in those three places, and it is a little difficult to do. But I thought it would be enough to move out of one place, and I could give Shi Jingting the position of provincial chairman first, and then use him to replace Shi Jingting after Han Fuyu came over. It's just, what should Wenge do? The Chairman is also invited to decide. ”

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek felt that the last two conditions were the most difficult to do, and since Yang Yongtai had made a good suggestion, he thought that this matter had been resolved.

Chiang Kai-shek stopped and said indifferently: "Changqing's opinion is very good, I think so, isn't Shandong Provincial Chairman Chen Tiaoyuan always in poor health, so he will be removed from his post first, and Shi Jingting will temporarily take the post of Shandong Provincial Chairman." When Han Fuyu plays the banner of the central government, he will change his position, and let him go to Shandong at that time. As for Wen Ge's one million, just give him 300,000, don't say the reason, it's fine. ”

Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei both thought that Shi Jingting and Han Fuyu's decision was very good, but Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised by Song Zhewu's handling of the million! Seeing that the two were puzzled, Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "The meaning of Wen Ge's telegram is very clear, that is, the most thief, he did not explicitly say that he understands the difficulties of the central government, this Sun Dianying." Speaking of this, both Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei could feel Chiang Kai-shek's heavy tone. Chiang Kai-shek continued: "This Sun Dianying, we can't do anything about him for the time being, he still has more than 20,000 people in his hands, and in this eventful season, we can only put it down first." Chiang Kai-shek sighed and continued: "Don't talk about Wen Ge's one million, he doesn't care, since it is Sun Dianying's stolen goods, it will never only be ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, but also other gold, silver and jewelry, he only mentioned ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in his telegram, and the others were not mentioned at all, which means that he will not hand them over." However, the fact that he can hand in these ancient books and calligraphy shows that he is patriotic, which is rare. Moreover, I really like people like Wen Ge, everything is said in the open, although there are some small tricks hidden. If he hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known. Weiwen, if you send a telegram to Wen Ge, just say that I mean it, and let him release him immediately. Changqing, according to what you meant just now, you call Lu Zuo back and promise Han Fuyu. ”

The two agreed to stand up, and Lin Wei hesitated and said, "I'm a little worried? "Worried about what?" Yang Yongtai asked puzzled. Lin Wei hesitated and said, "I'm worried that Wen Ge won't let go of the gun and people." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "It's not worrying, it's a certain land, and no one will give it to anyone." Weapons and personnel, he will definitely intercept some land. Han Fuyu also did 'Bao Brigade' back then, even if it was his retribution. ”

In the later period of the Second Northern Expedition, the envoys of various countries stationed in Beiping requested Zhang Zuolin, and obtained the consent of Nanjing Zhengaxe, and the Bao Yulin Brigade of the Fengjun Army stayed in Yanjing when the Fengjun retreated, and guaranteed to return to Fengtian peacefully after that. After the Jin army entered the city to take over its defense, Bao Brigade returned to Fengtian via Tongzhou, but Tongzhou had been occupied by Feng's security division, so he had to turn back to Yanjing. After returning to Beijing, he was surrounded and disarmed by the Korean army in Nanyuan, and more than 1,000 people in the whole brigade were contained except for Bao himself. This incident aroused international attention, and the diplomatic missions of various countries blamed the Nanjing political axe for its untrustworthiness on the one hand, and on the other hand, pushed the envoys of Britain, the United States, France, and the four countries to negotiate with the ROK on their behalf, and Han Fuyu received the ministers of the four countries shirtless in a simple room, and refused to negotiate with them on the grounds that he had not received the instructions from the political axe. He also said that the surrender of the military weapons was purely China's internal affair, and foreigners had no right to interfere, and the envoys of the four countries were robbed by this and had no choice but to return home. When Nanjing Zhengaxe learned of this, he immediately telegraphed Feng Yuxiang to order Han Fa to return the firearms of Bao Brigade. Feng immediately replied to the telegram stating the merits of the "Bao Brigade Incident" and tactfully exonerated Han Fuyu. then telegraphed Han and ordered him to release the people and return the gun, and Han made a discount and only handed over 780 people belonging to the Northeast.

Sorry everyone, there was no update yesterday, I slept out of time!
