"Shang Zhen should be detained in Tianjin!" Tao Rong opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Tao Rong knew that Song Zhewu had always respected Shang Zhen, so she couldn't help but glance at Song Zhewu.

Tao Rong didn't expect that the internal trouble of the Jin Suijun would be so bad! He and Chiang Kai-shek have not yet torn their faces, and they have to meet each other internally. At this time, if Shang Zhen was forced to rebel, with the help of He Chengjun, the owner of the Northern Parallel Battalion, Zhang Yinwu and Fu Zuoyi might not be able to bargain.

Seeing Tao Rong's surprised look, Zhao Pilian smiled proudly and said: "Beiping not only has Qiyu's 32nd Army, but also He Chengjun's Central Army, which is naturally not easy to do, only in Tianjin's Fu Yisheng's territory." ”

Song Zhewu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to do this, right?" After all, Chairman Shang Zhen is the chairman of Hebei Province appointed by the central government of Nanjing, and he will be given authority to arrest without an order from Nanjing, unless Chairman Yan turns his face with Chiang Kai-shek now and wants to fight with Chiang Kai-shek. Moreover, because of He Chengjun's reasons, if he can't be arrested, it will completely push Chairman Shang and the 32nd Army to Nanjing. ”

Zhao Pilian nodded and said, "Although Yisheng is older than Wen Ge, his vision and knowledge are not as good as Wen Ge. Chairman Yan also thinks like Wen Ge, he has already sent a telegram to reprimand Fu Yisheng, the chaos is coming, and we must maintain unity within the Jin Sui Army. ”

In fact, Song Zhewu also wanted to see Zhang Yinwu and Fu Zuoyi fight with Shang Zhen, so as to trigger a conflict between Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan early. If Chiang Kai-shek had successfully settled Yan Xishan, the Great War of the Central Plains, which had suffered heavy casualties, might have been avoided. But there is another possibility, that is, Yan Xishan is not ready at this time, and once he does not support, he will inevitably turn to Feng Yuxiang for help. Feng Yuxiang hated Chiang Kai-shek to the core, and would never let go of the opportunity for the two families to join forces, and would inevitably assist Yan Xishan in fighting Chiang Kai-shek, because relying on the two of them alone did not have an advantage over the Central Army, and they would inevitably take a defensive position.

What Yan Xishan is most afraid of now is not the Northwest Army, it is the Song Zhewu in front of him, Zhao Pilian successfully said that Song Zhewu was moved this time, which is a great contribution to Yan Xishan. Zhao Pilian was happy in his heart, and inevitably drank a few more glasses, but at this time, his face was ruddy, his spirit was a little excited, and his words were more, and he said with a smile: "Actually, Fu Yisheng is not to blame, but Qi Yu is to blame for doing too much." Since Qiyu came to Hebei to take charge, he has been very close to Chiang Kai-shek, but he has become more and more estranged from Chairman Yan, and Chiang Kai-shek has secretly promised Qiyu that he will hand over the position of chairman of Shanxi Province to Qiyu. Therefore, Fu Yisheng has to make this decision. ”

"No, it won't! Jin Suijun, you can obey Shang Zhen's orders. Tao Rong was more and more surprised the more he listened, he never thought that there were people in the Jin Sui Army who were co-opted by Chiang Kai-shek, and this person turned out to be an old and senior Jin Sui army general like Shang Zhen.

"Of course not!" Zhao Pilian pursed his lips and said: "Chiang Kai-shek thinks that if Chairman Yan goes to the field, before the complete reorganization of the Jin Sui army, it is best to have a person who can control the generals of the Jin Sui army and is very obedient to command the Jin Sui army, act as a transitional figure, and play a buffer role. In this way, the generals of the Jin Sui army could be temporarily appeased, so that Chiang Kai-shek could slowly and steadily reorganize. However, Chiang Kai-shek miscalculated this time, and the Jin Sui Army was by no means different from the Northwest Army, let alone the Gui system. ”

Zhao Pilian picked up the chopsticks, dipped the wine on the table and said: "Although the head of the Gui family is Li Zongren, there are also Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong, in the Gui family, Li Zongren can't say anything, many things have to look at Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong's faces, this Chief of Staff Tao should be very clear." ”

Tao Rong nodded slightly and didn't speak. In fact, Tao Rong, who has been in the Gui Department for many years, knows very well what Zhao Pilian said about Li, Bai, and Huang, and sometimes it is not just Li Zongren who wants to see the faces of Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong, if these two people disagree on something, Li Zongren can't even do it. Once, Li Zongren promoted an officer to be the battalion commander, because he didn't greet Bai Chongxi in advance, this person didn't become the battalion commander in the end.

Zhao Pilian continued: "As for the Northwest Army, although it was a unit pulled up by Feng Huanzhang, almost all of the people who held the heavy troops were people he pulled up single-handedly, such as Lu Zhonglin, Liu Yufen, Zhang Zhijiang, Li Mingzhong, Song Zheyuan, Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan, Sun Lianzhong, Sun Liangcheng, Liu Ruming, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Zhao Dengyu, Zheng Dazhang, Ji Hongchang and other so-called front, middle and rear five tiger generals and others. Because these people were all picked up by Feng Huanzhang, Feng Huanzhang's parents have serious thoughts, and they beat and scolded these people at every turn, and they didn't give any face. Liu Yufen, Zhang Zhijiang, and Li Mingzhong are older, Feng Huanzhang is not good at being excessive, but he does not give them heavy power, and Li Mingzhong is even excluded from the army; Shi Yousan and Han Fuyu, who had grievances against Feng Huanzhang, could not withstand Chiang Kai-shek's wooing and defected to Feng Huanzhang. As for the other miscellaneous generals who were incorporated by him, they were mostly excluded, such as Yang Hucheng, Ma Hongkui and others also left him. The main reason is that Feng Huanzhang's surname is stubborn, he acts too toughly, and he doesn't know the truth that the steel is easy to break. His troops seem to be strong, but in fact, many generals from all walks of life are not only dissatisfied with Feng Huanzhang, but also have many contradictions with each other; But the Jin Suijun is different, although the generals at all levels of the Jin Suijun are also raised by Chairman Yan, but such as Fu Yisheng and others, Chairman Yan does not regard them as his sons and nephews, but asks for warmth and cares for them. I dare to say that except for people like Qiyu who later joined the Jin Sui Army, no one else would ever defect to Chairman Yan, because they all knew that they were outsiders wherever they went, and only the Jin Sui Army was their home. ”

Regarding Zhao Pilian's statement that Shang Zhen and Chiang Kai-shek would unite to replace Yan Xishan with Shang Zhen, although Song Zhewu heard it for the first time in this era, he knew about it in his previous life, but he didn't introduce much, but it was just that in August Yan Xishan took the initiative to resign from the post of chairman of Shanxi Province, and Chiang Kai-shek appointed Shang Zhen as chairman of Shanxi Province and transferred Xu Yongchang, chairman of Suiyuan Province, to be chairman of Hebei Province. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to take back the provincial power in Shanxi and Hebei in one step, he was afraid of causing a strong backlash from the Jin Suijun army and was afraid of provoking Yan Xishan more, so he transferred Shang Zhen, who was pro-Nanjing central political axe and was also the Jin Suijun, to serve as chairman of Shanxi Province.

Shang Zhen and Yan Xishan have a deep grudge, if Shang Zhen gets the right to Shanxi, he will take the initiative to gradually dig up Yan Xishan's foundation in Shanxi without his instructions. However, Chiang Kai-shek and Shang Zhen both ignored one point: Yan Xishan has been operating in Shanxi for more than 20 years, and the military and local areas have deep roots, and as long as he does not leave Shanxi, no one will be able to do anything to become the chairman of Shanxi Province.

Song Zhewu nodded and said: "Mr. Lutai is right, Chairman Yan is shrewd, he has been in charge of Shanxi for many years, and the implementation of the 'six politics and three things' is very popular with the people, and most of the Jin Suijun are from Shanxi, without the support of Chairman Yan, no one can go to Shanxi, which is not comparable to Li Zongren and Feng Yuxiang."

Song Zhewu's sentence about 'Jin Suijun is mostly from Shanxi' made Zhao Pilian, who was originally a little proud, feel excited, which is now the most taboo for Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan now doesn't want people to think that he only reuses Shanxi people, especially people from northern Jin. This is extremely unfavorable to win over Song Zhewu, a native of Hebei.

Zhao Pilian suddenly realized that he had said too much, so he hurriedly stopped talking and said to Song Zhewu: "Wen Ge, it's not that Chairman Yan doesn't trust you about the military academy, it's really that this matter is easy to cause misunderstanding, I think you should move the military academy to Laiyuan." ”

Moving the military academy to Laiyuan, so that he can actually master the military academy, Song Zhewu has been thinking about this for a long time, and even Fang Zhen's people have been sent to the military academy to secretly collect the political background of the cadets. Now is a good opportunity, just to take advantage of Yan Xishan to completely get this military academy into his hands, you must know that the lowest education among those cadets is a middle school graduate, and one-third of them have a university degree. Shang Zhen couldn't say anything about this reason, who asked him to tell Yan Xishan that it was his Song Zhewu's military academy. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Pilian said it, Song Zhewu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Song Zhewu was full of promises to these things that Yan Xishan was concerned about, Zhao Pilian felt that it was time to take out the last benefits that Yan Xishan gave to Song Zhewu, and said with a smile: "Wen Ge, I want to congratulate you!" ”

"Congratulations?" Song Zhewu was a little puzzled.

Zhao Pilian didn't speak: "I just took the leather bag behind him, took out a letter of appointment from it and handed it to Song Zhewu."

Song Zhewu resulted in a letter of appointment. This letter of appointment was issued by Yan Xishan, appointing Song Zhewu as the deputy commander-in-chief of the North Route Army of the Republic of China, and the signature was Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the North Route Army of the Republic of China.

Zhao Pilian explained with a smile: "This is Chiang Kai-shek asking Chairman Yan to urge Feng Yuxiang to go abroad, in order to let Chairman Yan buy some strength, appoint Chairman Yan as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, in charge of the military of the northern provinces. Originally, Chairman Yan thought that Wen Ge was outstanding in knowledge and courage, and he had long wanted Wen Ge to shoulder a greater burden, but the central government abolished the 'Third Group Army', and even Chairman Yan managed the various units of the Jin Sui Army in the capacity of chairman of a province. This time, Chiang Kai-shek gave Chairman Yan the post of commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, but it was the right time. At present, in addition to the Jin Sui Army and the Fourth Route Army, the armies of the northern provinces are also the Northwest Army, although the Northwest Army will not listen to Chairman Yan's command for the time being, but after all, we have this righteous name, and it is still a lot more convenient for us to act in the future. Wen Ge, the deputy commander-in-chief, is only below Chairman Yan and above 10,000 in the northern provinces. Even Zhiqing also wants Brother Wenge to take care of it. ”
