Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Personal Representative from the South

As the saying goes, the meeting between Tian Cishan and Chen Zikun broke up unhappily, and the personal representative of Chairman Wang of the Guangzhou Nationalist Government was quite angry, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Chen Zikun and left on the spot.

Chen Zikun didn't take it seriously at all, but asked Zhao Yufeng to greet Tian Cishan well.

"Mr. Tian is very angry, get some food to eat, it's really not possible to find two girls to vent his anger for him, it's not easy to abandon his family and children who do revolution, come to our land, you have to be treated." Chan said.

Zhao Yufeng took the order, but Yan Su said: "Marshal, you rejected Wang Zhaoming so bluntly, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate, if the general situation is unclear today, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is like a bamboo, it is this Chairman Wang who can't seize the world." ”

Chen Zikun said disdainfully: "Come on, he can also take over the world?" Does it depend on being handsome? I have seen him in Beijing, and he is not as good as a human king, maybe the Kuomintang can take over the world, but it will never be Wang Jingwei. ”

Yan Su said: "Why is the marshal so convinced? ”

Chen Zikun said: "Based on his attitude towards me, when I was in Beijing, Wang Zhaoming was lukewarm, kept his distance, and seemed to dislike my identity, but now he wrote a letter to order me to do this and that, so I don't understand the world, how can I convince the world." ”

As she was talking, the female secretary Liu Ting came in and said, "Supervisor, there is a guest who asks to see, this is his business card." ”

When Chen Zikun saw the name on the business card, he stood up: "Please!" ”

It didn't take much effort to come in a man in his thirties, with a mustache, a civilized stick, and a lofty spirit, and when he saw Chen Zikun, he smiled and said: "Kunwu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, your changes are really earth-shaking, and I don't dare to admit it." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Brother Chuanxian, don't come to harm, farewell to Beijing, your demeanor is even more dignified." ”

When Yan Su heard this name, he said strangely: "Sir, but he scolded Yuan Shikai in the "Civil Rights Daily", there is a high theory of 'a million splendid articles, but it is not as good as a Mauser', and Dai Chuanxian, who has been Sun Wen's secretary? ”

Dai Jitao hugged his fists very calmly and said: "Contemptible Dai Jitao, member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, and member of the Standing Committee. ”

Yan Su looked at Chen Zikun, and said in his heart that there were powerful people in Guangzhou again, and this time he didn't know who the force was represented.

Chen Zikun smiled and asked Dai Jitao to sit down, poured tea and handed cigarettes, and talked about the matter of supporting the coffin of Mr. Sun Wen in Beijing at the beginning of last year, and couldn't help sighing: "After the first prime minister left, the party no longer has a family, which is really embarrassing." ”

Dai Ji Taoqi said: "Of course our party has a family, it seems that Kunwu Xian brother is not very well-informed, the chairman of the national government is Wang Zhaoming, who combines the power of the party, government and army. ”

Chen Zikun said: "I naturally know, but I think Wang Zhaoming is not worthy of the big responsibility, so many respected comrades in the party, how can it not be his turn to be the chairman, hehe, Brother Chuanxian, I am in the party, but I am not in Guangzhou, so I speak presumptuously." ”

Dai Jitao said: "What you said is not true, after the death of the first prime minister, in terms of qualifications, there is only Hu Hanmin, and Hu is a ready-made acting generalissimo, but the post of chairman was handed over to Wang Zhaoming, who has never held an important administrative position, which is really a surprise to people of insight in the party." ”

Chen Zikun said: "But why? Could it be that there are more people who support Wang Zhaoming? ”

"No, no, the key is the support of two people, whether other comrades support it or not, it's just a floating cloud." Dai Jitao made a fool of himself and shook his head.

"Which two?"

"One is the Soviet Russian ambassador to China, the other is the chief general adviser of Soviet Russia, Borodin, these two people have long been looking for the prime minister's successor arrangement, Hu Hanmin has an upright personality, very old qualifications, and may be difficult to control, while Wang Zhaoming has a gentle personality, lacks ideas, is easy to manipulate, coupled with the split in the party, Xu Chongzhisu and Hu Hanmin are not on good terms, Liao Zhongkai is pro-Russian, naturally there is no objection, Tan Yanmin and Zhu Peide have nothing to do, so Wang Zhaoming naturally became the chairman."

Chen Zikun said: "The Russians turned their hands into clouds and turned their hands into rain, and they actually controlled our party, and the prime minister Quanxia knew that he would definitely not rest assured that he would hand over the power to Wang Zhaoming, which is not the same as handing over the party to the Russians." ”

"But who can fight?" Dai Jitao sighed, "Soviet Russia is isolated in the world, so they want to cultivate an ally, they have contacted Beiyang Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, and us, the first prime minister was far-sighted, and worked out the policy plan of the United Russia and the Communist Party, which is really a clever move, Soviet Russia has provided us with unprecedented wealth, the Ordnance of the Whampoa Military Academy is all Russian rifles, all the funds are rubles, the consultants are all Russians, in the port of Guangzhou, there are the most Russian cargo ships, Moscow also established Sun Yat-sen University, and Guangzhou has sent hundreds of people ......to study abroad."

Chen Zikun listened to Dai Jitao's narration, his face was cloudy, originally he pinned half of his hopes on the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, but after Sun Wen's death, Wang Zhaoming took power, which made him have a trace of worry, and now listening to Dai Jitao's words, the Nationalist Government has clearly been infiltrated by the Russians, and Yuan Shikai's 21 articles are not so ruthless.

Dai Jitao sighed for a long time: "Liao Zhongkai was assassinated, Xu Chongzhi was forced to leave, Hu Hanmin was sent to Moscow, and Guangzhou became the world of Soviet Russia, which is really sighing." With that, he lay on the couch and made a desperate look.

Chen Zikun said: "Isn't there anyone who fights against Wang? ”

"Yes!" Dai Jitao sat up straight, his eyes blazing, "There are still many people of insight in the party, and they can't bear to see the fruits of the revolution stolen by the Russians, a group of party members held the fourth plenary meeting of the party's first Central Executive Committee in Beijing, and decided to cancel the party membership of **-party members in the Kuomintang, remove Borodin from his adviser position, and punish Wang Zhaoming. ”

Chen Zikun was in awe: "Brother Chuanxian, the rise and fall of our party depends on you." ”

Dai Jitao said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, just a literati, didn't your chief of staff say it just now, a million splendid articles are not as good as a Mauser, there are still some revolutionary soldiers in my party who adhere to the Three People's Principles and the Prime Minister's plan, your sworn brother, Jiang Zhiqing, now his name is Chiang Kai-shek, and he is one of the leaders." ”

"Oh, I've heard that Brother Jiang has become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy for a long time, I don't know what is going on now?" Chen Zikun was quite interested, his intelligence channels were very limited, especially about the revolutionary Guangzhou regime, he knew very little, and now he should talk to Dai Jitao to know that the Kuomintang's internal struggle was no less severe than that of Beiyang.

Dai Jitao said: "Quelling the rebellion of the Guangzhou merchant group, eliminating the warlords of Yunnan and Gui, and the eastern expedition to Chen Jiongming are all the work of Jiang Gong, but unfortunately the Russians have always distrusted him, especially unwilling to control the military power, in order to weaken the strength of Brother Jiang, Borodin and others have done their best to set up a youth military association in the Whampoa Military Academy to confront the school, stop the Northern Expedition, remove Brother Jiang from the post of commander of the Guangzhou garrison, anti-Jiang leaflets spread everywhere, Brother Jiang to Wang Zhaoming bitterly Chen revolutionary power can not fall into the hands of outsiders, Wang turned around and told the Russians, Brother Jiang felt that there was an enemy on all sides, Elbow and armpit troubles, limited to the encirclement, only struggle for a decisive battle, survival in death. ”

Chen Zikun was silent, looking at Yan Su, who shook his head slightly, the fierce struggle for power and profit in Guangzhou was far beyond their imagination.

In mid-March, Li Zhilong, the acting director of the navy, wanted to take advantage of Brother Jiang's Zhongshan ship to Huangpu on the way to hijack him, sail straight to Vladivostok, the matter was revealed, Brother Jiang took decisive measures, declared martial law, arrested Li Zhilong, encircled and suppressed the pickets of the provincial and Hong Kong strike committees, and monitored the Russian advisers' residences, which reversed the decline in one fell swoop. ”

Chen Zikun and Yan Su listened attentively, and only when they heard this did they say, "How can the Russians give up? ”

"Isn't it, Wang Zhaoming was furious, but the Russians, who were thieves, were afraid that their plan to control China would come to naught, so they retreated first, withdrew some of their arrogant advisers, and dissolved the Young Soldiers' Federation in Huangpu.

Speaking of this, Dai Jitao took out a folding fan and shook it: "Now, Wang Zhaoming has taken a leave of absence, the chairmanship is represented by Tan Yanhong, and Brother Jiang has been appointed commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, and the fruits of the revolution have been preserved." ”

Chen Zikun high-fived and praised: "Brother Jiang's thunderous methods are admirable, the achievements of the Prime Minister's revolution for decades have not been stolen by outsiders, but I don't know that Brother Chuanxian is here just to tell his younger brother about Guangzhou?" ”

With a "snap", Dai Jitao closed the folding fan and said: "Our own brothers, not to mention those imaginary, on July 1, the Guangzhou National Government issued a mobilization order for the Northern Expedition, and the troops were divided into three routes, taking Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and the people in various places have suffered from the warlords for a long time, and the revolutionary army is like a great drought, and it will be like a bamboo, and it will be victorious, and the Kunwu virtuous brother has issued a revolutionary declaration, so naturally it is not included in the conquest, but it is just ......"

"Just what?" Chen Zikun said with a smile, he had already guessed what Dai Jitao was going to say, it was nothing more than asking him to send troops to help him and earn political capital and military advantages, just like that Tian Cishan.

"Brother Jiang is afraid that Brother Kunwu's revolutionary remarks will arouse the suspicion of the surrounding warlords and lead to a siege, and my Northern Expeditionary Army is thousands of miles away and cannot rush to help in time, so Brother Yu, I came to send something, it must be useful."

As he spoke, Dai Jitao took out an envelope from his arms, put it on the coffee table and slowly pushed it over.

Chen Zikun picked it up and looked at it, it was a bill of exchange, the corners of his mouth curled, he took it out and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp.

Yan Su saw Chen Zikun's surprised appearance, took the bill of exchange over and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Dai Jitao cocked Erlang's legs, holding a teacup and blowing hot air, which was beautiful.

On the bill of exchange, the words "one hundred thousand yuan" are impressively printed.
