Zhang Zhizhong saw that Chiang Kai-shek had made up his mind to take the Gui system, and the rest was a military issue, and the specific difficulties had to be raised and resolved as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhizhong saw that He Yingqin and Lin Wei were silent, and there were only three of them who knew about military affairs here, so he no longer hesitated at the moment: "Chairman of the Committee, since we want to solve the problem of the Gui family, my opinion is that once we start to do it at the same time, we must do it at the same time." There are now two departments of Liao Lei and Li Pinxian in North China, with a total of more than 100,000 people, and there are three departments of Shang Zhen, Zhang Yinwu and Fu Zuoyi in Hebei, with a total of 100,000 people. Although the chairman of the committee was sure that the Jin Sui army would not participate, he could not be unguarded, so it seemed that 200,000 troops were needed to guarantee it. There are more than 100,000 people in Central China, such as Xia Wei and Ye Qi, and there are at least 150,000 troops to solve them, and a total of 350,000 is needed in the two places, and there is still a gap of 50,000 even if our troops are all used. We do not have an absolute advantage in Central China, and I am afraid that we will not be able to solve the problem in a short time. ”

Chiang Kai-shek observed the demeanor of the people and knew that they basically agreed to use force against the Gui family, but they were still a little worried, so he said with a smile: "Wen Bai is extremely worried, once we start, North China and Central China must do it at the same time, so that our troops are a little stretched, and the Central Army will vigorously expand its army, but it will take time, and we will not have time to wait." However, I can tell you that Bai Chongxi in North China does not require us to use a single soldier. This is Yue Jun's suggestion, you come to tell you. ”

Zhang Qun and Chiang Kai-shek were classmates studying abroad, and the two had a very close relationship. Zhang Qun saw that everyone was listening intently and deliberately sold a pass, so he stopped and didn't say anything. Song Ziwen couldn't bear the surname, and urged Zhang Qun: "I said Mr. Zhang, your idea should really work, and you don't need to use the Central Army, then you can really be called a strategist and win a thousand miles, you should say it quickly." ”

Zhang Qun said with a smile: "I don't deserve Minister Song's praise like this, although you don't need to use a single soldier, but you need money, and Minister Song is bleeding again." "Do you want to give Bai Chongxi money and ask him to hand over the troops? Don't say that Bai Chongxi won't agree, even if he agrees, it's a huge amount of money to buy! Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhang Qun satisfied his vanity and continued: "Bai Chongxi's troops in North China are all troops that incorporated Tang Shengzhi last year, Li Pinxian and Liao Lei are Tang Shengzhi's generals, and most of the troops are Sanxiang children, and they have long wanted to return to Hunan, and their military morale is already a little unstable. Three months ago, in accordance with the instructions of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, I sent a letter to Tang Shengzhi, who was still in charge at that time, asking him to return to China and go out of the mountains and reorganize his old department. Although Tang Shengzhi has not yet expressed his position, he has returned to China and now lives in the Shanghai concession. ”

Chiang Kai-shek took over the conversation: "The reason why Tang Shengzhi didn't express his position was mainly because he still had concerns, afraid that I was just using him." When he came back from the book, it means that he has already been tempted. Yue Jun, did Liu Wendao go to Nanjing? ”

Liu Wendao had been working with Tang Shengzhi before, and was a political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy. Liu Wendao graduated from the Faculty of Political Economy of Waseda University in Tokyo and received a doctorate in law from the University of Paris. He returned to China in the summer of 1925. He served as an advisor to the Changsha Provincial Governor's Office and went to Guangzhou in May 1926. He served as Tang Shengzhi's representative in Guangdong and a political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy. During the Northern Expedition, he served as director of the Political Department and party representative of the former enemy General Headquarters of the 8th Army of the National Revolutionary Army under Tang Shengzhi, and is currently the deputy director of the General Political Department of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army.

"I arrived in Nanjing last night." Zhang Qun replied.

"You asked Liu Wendao to go to Shanghai to find Tang Mengxiao, and asked Ziwen to give him 300,000 oceans and hand it over to Tang Mengxiao, just say that I gave him the funds to convene the old department. In addition, tell him that as soon as he enters Bai Chongxi's military camp in Hebei, I will appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Route Army. Lifu, you arranged for the provincial party headquarters to spread the news of the central government's support for Tang Shengzhi's return to the army in Beiping, and first mobilized the emotions of those Hunan people. ”

Everyone in the room, only Yang Yongtai and Zhang Qun knew about it, and the others heard it for the first time, so they couldn't help but say that this was a clever move, as long as Tang Shengzhi's old ministry knew that Chiang Kai-shek supported Tang Shengzhi, they would immediately expel Bai Chongxi and welcome Tang Shengzhi, and at that time, it was difficult to say whether Bai Chongxi could leave Hebei alive. If at the beginning, everyone was still suspicious about the crusade against the Gui family, but now there is nothing. The seemingly powerful Gui family was actually dealt with by the wise chairman of the committee for 300,000 oceans, and everyone was overjoyed.

He Yingqin also swept away the decadence just now, sat up straight and said: "Chairman Gao Ming, Bai Chongxi must be in a catastrophe this time, since North China does not need us to do it, we have absolutely the right grasp of solving Xia Wei, Ye Qi and other departments in Central China in a short time." Is it up to Director Lin to arrange for an action plan now? ”

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and motioned for Lin Wei, who stood up, to sit down. "Weiwen can arrange to formulate a battle plan, but there is one more thing you must know, in fact, in Central China, we don't have to make a big move, Yu Zuobai, the veteran of the Gui family, has secretly returned to the central government, and has already said that the main force of the Gui department in Wuhan is in the Seventh Army, Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui. This is something to consider when making a battle plan. ”

The means of dealing with Bai Chongxi just now have already surprised everyone, and in a quiet moment, Chiang Kai-shek has done Central China again, and everyone admires Chiang Kai-shek's skillful skills in their hearts, and even He Yingqin, who has always looked down on Chiang Kai-shek's military command ability, thinks that in terms of political skills, he is far inferior to Chiang Kai-shek.

In the midst of everyone's praise, Chiang Kai-shek continued: "Respect, Weiwen, we must grasp two key points in formulating the battle plan: First, we must guard against the Northwest Army fishing in troubled waters. Second, it is necessary to ensure that the Central Army controls the three towns of Wuhan, and the Wuhan Arsenal can definitely fall into the hands of others. ”

Chen Lifu, who had not spoken, said at this time: "The chairman of the committee used Tang Shengzhi to deal with Bai Chongxi, a real and clever move, which is really clever. However, please ask the chairman to think that among the heads of various factions in China, there are two people who Lifu thinks cannot be believed: one is Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and the other is Tang Shengzhi. Both of them are brain-rebellious and will never be sincerely used by the chairman. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded approvingly: "What Lifu said is very true, but don't worry, Tang Shengzhi is obedient, otherwise he will be the next one to clean up." ”

Seeing that everyone had no problems, Chiang Kai-shek said again: "The matter of the Gui family is so decided, and there is another issue for everyone to discuss." Just now, Wen Bai said that there are more than 100,000 people in the departments of Shangzhen, Zhang Yinwu, and Fu Zuoyi in Hebei, but this number is inaccurate. Zhang Yinwu and Fu Zuoyi have a total of more than 70,000 people, but Shang Zhen is not only the 40,000 people of the 32nd Army, Shang Zhen also set up a security headquarters in Hebei, and Lifu will come to inform you about the situation. ”

Chen Lifu cleared his throat and said loudly: "This security commander is called Song Zhewu, and his name is Wenge. The department was originally a supplementary brigade of the warlord Zhang Zongchang, and it was put into the Shang Zhen Department during the Second Northern Expedition last year, but Yan Xishan did not agree to incorporate it into the 32nd Army, and Shang Zhen could not, so he had to give him a 'Hebei Security Reading Mixed Brigade Number', which was transferred to Laiyuan in August last year. Once annihilated more than 1,000 bandits, Shang Zhen reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Military Affairs gave him the rank of major general. ”

Hearing this, He Yingqin remembered that he had also consulted Chiang Kai-shek on this matter. It's just a brigade.

Chen Lifu continued: "There are now six infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one baggage regiment and one cavalry regiment. Seeing that the establishment of the nine regiments did not arouse everyone's ideas, Chen Lifu continued: "Song Zhewu graduated from the Dresden Infantry School in Germany, and his troop establishment is basically modeled on the German army, with nearly 8,000 infantry regiments. ”

Eight thousand, and everyone was amazed. You must know that many domestic troops have only one division of 1,000 people, that is to say, Song Zhewu has nine divisions! You can form two armies.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Chen Lifu said in his heart that there was something that surprised you even more, and continued: "His cavalry regiment is a super-large regiment, with more than 20,000 horses. "More than 20,000 people! Everyone was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lifu threw another bombshell: "Moreover, there are more than 30,000 recruits in the security brigade who are currently training. ”

Everyone gasped, obediently, this adds up to 100,000 people! The shell of a security brigade can hold so many people.

Chen Lifu saw that everyone was stimulated enough, and he no longer sold Guanzi: "This unit is well-equipped, all the rifles are military standards, machine guns, and all kinds of artillery are Western-style. And the number is huge, there is a machine gun in a squad, and the platoon is armed with 60-mm mortars. In particular, Shang Zhen, who was well-trained, ignored the central government's order that local governments were not allowed to run military academies with any surnames, and modeled Huangpu on the example of running a "Peiping Political and Military School" in Beiping, and the instructors were all from the Baoding Military Academy. A month ago, the cadets of this military academy defeated the troops of the 32 Army in a confrontation exercise. Speaking of this, Chen Lifu strengthened his tone: "However, 5 days ago, they were defeated by the security brigade in the confrontation exercise. In particular, in the stabbing confrontation, the security brigade fought 100 against 200 people, and the result was that the security brigade completely annihilated 200 people at the cost of more than 50 casualties. ”

In everyone's surprise, Chiang Kai-shek took over Chen Lifu's words: "When I studied in Yueben in my early years, I knew that the army was fierce and fierce, and now if I fight with the veterans of the army, this is basically the result." In other words, this security brigade is indeed well-trained, and its combat effectiveness has even reached the level of a military force. Such a force cannot be ignored by any means. Such a unit was discovered only 20 days ago by the Hebei Provincial Party Department, a non-intelligence organ, and it seems that we should step up our intelligence work. I'll give you a breath today, I've put Dai Li in charge of setting up an 'investigative communications team' and starting intelligence work. What everyone here did not expect was that the group led by Dai Li, nine years later, in 1938, would develop into the famous Military Statistical Survey Bureau-Military Command.

Out of professional sensitivity, Song Ziwen asked puzzledly: "The 100,000 people who are so well equipped need a huge amount of funds, and Yan Laoxi has always been at odds with Shangzhen, so it is impossible to give him this money." Hebei's finance and taxation have always been small, Tianjin and Beiping, the two major Hebei finance and taxation families, were given by Lao Xi to his henchmen Zhang Yinwu and Fu Zuoyi, and Shang Zhen could not come up with such a large amount of money.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned and said, "What Ziwen said is that Yan Baichuan would never give Shang Zhen this money, and he probably doesn't know that he still has such a strong army in name." Shang Zhen has always been inclined to the central government, and he has long had the heart of self-reliance, saying that Shang Zhen is also a good official who is diligent in government and loves the people, and has been in charge of Hebei for half a year, providing relief to the victims and resuming production, and Hebei's little fiscal and tax revenue has long been used up. Now there is a 'rural construction demonstration county' in Dingxian County, and it is said that it is still a patchwork of 500,000 yuan. But this Song Zhewu is rich, he has opened many factories, and they are all very profitable, and the Xiangxue noodles that came out recently were made by them, and he paid for the army by himself. Those who are willing to pay for themselves can be punished for this point. There is only one purpose, that is, to plot wrongdoing, or at least to be ambitious. He hid in the ravine from which he came from, and buried himself in military training without showing his face, in order to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and quickly find out this person's attitude toward the central authorities. ”

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's aide-de-camp of the guards came in to report that Xu En, director of the Investigation Department of the Central Party Department, had an important matter outside the door to report to Secretary General Chen. Chen Lifu got up to go out, but Chiang Kai-shek stopped him and instructed the adjutant to let Xu Enzeng come in to report. When Xu Enzeng came in, he first saluted Chiang Kai-shek, and then took out a telegram and handed it to Chen Lifu. Chen Lifu quickly read the telegram, immediately had a smile on his face, and handed the telegram to Chiang Kai-shek. The telegram was sent by the Laiyuan County Party Department, and Secretary General Chen was a distant relative of Chen Lifu, so he could contact Chen Lifu directly without going through the provincial party headquarters. The contents of the telegram were: Song Yi expressed his attitude, believed in Sanming and righteousness, supported the Central Committee, resolutely obeyed the leadership of Chairman Chiang, and was willing to join the party with the whole brigade.

"Good!" Chiang Kai-shek's frowning brow stretched out, and a smile appeared on his face. Soon restrained his smile and asked Chen Lifu: "Lifu, how are you going to handle this matter?" Chen Lifu replied respectfully: "This matter is important, I will go to Laiyuan in person." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "Don't let you go, this Song Zhewu hid in the ravine just because he didn't want to attract the attention of the outside world, Yan Baichuan is afraid that he is still in the dark now, as soon as you go, it will immediately alarm Yan Baichuan and cause trouble." Chen Lifu thought about it, he was the secretary general of the Central Party Department, and he went to the ravine where he came from to meet a small security commander, which would definitely attract the attention of others, in case Yan Laoxi also went to woo Song Zhewu, it would be to make trouble for himself.

Chiang Kai-shek stood up, slowly started more on the ground, and after a few turns, Chiang Kai-shek said to Chen Lifu: "Let Lu Zuo go to Laiyuan to handle this matter as an inspector." You wrote a letter with your own handwriting, exhorted and encouraged him, and handed it to Lu Zuo to bring to Song Zhewu. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhang Zhizhong: "Wenbai, I have to trouble you to go to Laiyuan." Seeing that he was on point, Zhang Zhizhong hurriedly stood up: "Chairman of the committee, please speak." Chiang Kai-shek said slowly: "You hide your identity and go to Laiyuan as Lu Zuo's attaché to see if this security brigade is really so powerful." ”
