At the same time as Zhou Elai, Qu Ming and Ma Hongkui were negotiating, Ma Fuxiang also secretly met with the bearded calligrapher Yu Youren in another courtyard of the Metropolitan Administration.

"Mr. Youren, can you give me a letter of approval, is Premier Sun's illness serious?" The obese Dutong Ma Fuxiang leaned on a wide sofa, while Yu Youren sat opposite him, and the two talked about things while drinking tea, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than that of Zhou Elai.

"Ugh." Yu Youren shook his head and stroked his beard, did not answer, only sighed.

Seeing the bearded expression, Ma Fuxiang naturally knew how serious the prime minister's condition was. He frowned and said: "If Premier Sun is here, the Kuomintang has the backbone, and naturally everything will be fine, but one day his old man is gone, I am afraid that he will have to follow the old road of Beiyang." Then Ma Fuxiang asked: "Will the prime minister take over from the prince in the future?" "The son is Sun Ke, who is now the mayor of Guangzhou, and the official is not small, but the Republic of China is a troubled era, and a mayor who has nothing to do with the barrel of a gun is of little use.

"Son Zhesheng? Hehe, it won't. Yu Youren waved his hand and said, "We don't want the father to die and the son to succeed." ”

Ma Fuxiang said with some regret: "The old one died and the little one did it, what a good system!" Why don't you Kuomintang use it? Our five horses in the northwest are going to do this, and Zhang Yushuai looks like he wants the young marshal to take over. It's good, convincing, and stable. "What Ma Fuxiang said also makes sense, Sun Yat-sen has a lot of students, and there is only one son, if he can really pass on his son, the Kuomintang can also have a boss, although this level is worse, but compared with a bunch of small bosses fighting there to live and die, it seems to be stronger.

"Hehe, we can't do it there, besides, Zhesheng doesn't approve of the prime minister's three major policies, and he doesn't have a good relationship with GCD people. At present, the prime minister has arranged for a four-member presidium and a nine-member military commission, which will be collectively led in the future. Yu Youren stroked his beard while introducing Mr. Nakayama's "aftermath". Sun Yat-sen racked his brains for this "aftermath", and in order to maintain the unity of the party, he also took the initiative to alienate the GCD people, which greatly discounted the fighting and revolutionary surnames of the Kuomintang, and even the revolutionary enthusiasm of the whole of South China was gradually extinguished.

"Young Master Sun has a bad relationship with the GCD people? What's going on? Ma Fuxiang also did not like GCD because he knew that GCD would not allow him to believe in Allah. Although Lao Ma is a mild Muslim, he still believes in Allah.

"It's hard for us to say this, it's hard to say." Yu Youren doesn't know much. It is only known that in June, rightists in the Kuomintang proposed a "impeachment [***] case", and Sun Ke participated in it. Since the signing of the "Outline of Sino-Russian Suspense Issues" between the Soviet Union and Yanjing Zhengaxe at the end of May, and Li Dazhao, who is a member of the Kuomintang, petitioned Yanjing Zhengaxe to support the Soviet garrison in Outer Mongolia and support the self-determination of the Outer Mongolian people, the right wing of the Kuomintang Party has launched a new round of attack on GCD.

Ma Fuxiang also heard some clues from Yu Youren's words, it seems that now the struggle between the two factions in the Kuomintang is fierce, and it seems that Sun Yat-sen seems that the Kuomintang is inevitably going to split, so it is even more impossible to offend the rising star GCD.

"Mr. Youren, are you sure that the new army will attack Yanjing this time?" Ma Fuxiang turned the topic to the march into Yanjing.

"Well, sure. This time, we agreed with Zhang Yuting and Duan Zhi to start together, and we now have a territory of five and a half provinces and more than 200,000 troops! Zhang Yuting's soldiers are no less than 250,000, plus Lu Zijia's 70,000 and northern Shaanxi's 40,000, our three parties have more than 600,000 available soldiers! So I still advise General Yunting to stand with us. Speaking of the next big war, Yu Youren is full of confidence, the current Kuomintang can be described as a strong army, although there is a danger of splitting, but that is after the death of Mr. Zhongshan, now Mr. Zhongshan is a sentence of 10,000 sentences.

Ma Fuxiang didn't think much about it and waved his hand and said: "The feud of the Northwest Hui Han Dynasty, you don't know that Mr. Youren is not unaware, you are against the central government, and I want to say the opposite, that is, the Hui rebellion." In this way, even if you go eastward, I will cooperate with what I can, and I will not interfere with those who are inconvenient to cooperate. That's all right, right? "Over the years, he has been committed to ethnic unity and national unity in the northwest, and to avoid the conflict between the Hui and Han countries as much as possible. And he has always wanted to blur back to Han, claiming to be ** and not **. So he didn't want to get involved in the war against the Han central political axe.

"Okay. General Yunting can provide us with convenience, and we are very satisfied. On behalf of Mr. Nakayama, I would like to thank the general. When Yu Youren saw that the task was completed, he no longer persuaded Ma Fuxiang to send troops.

The next time, Zhou Elai and Qu Ming also met Ma Fuxiang, and held a new round of negotiations with Ma Fuxiang, Ma Fuxiang agreed to borrow the road to GCD, but demanded that GCD not enter the city along the way, and not spread Marxist ideas to Mongolian farmers and herdsmen. Zhou Elai did not raise any objection to this, and the mission of disseminating Marxist ideas to Mongolian farmers and herdsmen will be undertaken by the Mongolian GCD represented by Comrade Wulfu, which is not the focus of the Northwest New Army's work at present, and the goal of the Northwest New Army is now only Yanjing City.

At the end of August, Zhou Elai and others, who had completed their mission, successfully returned to Yan'an, the red capital at the foot of the pagoda mountain. Zhou Elai and Qu Ming, who had just returned to Wangjialing, the headquarters of the Northwest Bureau of GCD, were pulled by Qu Ying to the smoky conference room before they could catch their breath.

As soon as Zhang Guotao arrived, he clashed with Mao ZD and other leading comrades of the Northwest Bureau, and the reason was whether to retain the base area in northern Shaanxi and the strategy of the Northwest New Army after the Eastern Expedition. Zhang Guotao's opinion was to abandon northern Shaanxi, concentrate all his forces on the eastward crusade, strive to seize Chahar, Zhili, Yanjing, Shandong, and Henan, and then unite the progressive warlords of Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Shaanxi to form a joint political axe with the Kuomintang, and prevent Zhang Zuolin in the northeast and Duan Qirui of the Anhui system from participating. This opinion represents the meaning of the Central Committee and GC International, so Zhang Guotao did not do persuasion and education, so he forced Mao ZD and others to obey.

Mao Zd, of course, could not agree to this almost absurd risky plan, and his idea was to use the Third Division to defend the base area in northern Shaanxi and help Yang Huchen capture Guanzhong. With the main force of 22,000 people of the new army in the northwest, he marched east to capture Chahar, and then waited for an opportunity to advance to Yanjing and Zhili. After taking control of Yanjing, a political consultative conference was convened with the participation of all parties to discuss the matter of organizing a joint political axe, not excluding either side, but uniting the Kuomintang and all patriotic generals.

When Zhou Enlai walked into the smoky conference room, Zhang Guotao was emphasizing his views on behalf of the Central Committee and the International, and he waved his arm and said: "Comrades, the Party Central Committee and the Third International believe that the Chinese revolution is coming, and this is the prelude to the arrival of the world revolution. We Chinese GCD people have the obligation to walk in the forefront of the world revolution and contribute all our energy and whole life to the world revolution! The all-out crusade put forward by the Party Central Committee and the Third International was made precisely in view of the imminent arrival of this **, in view of the imminent awakening of the Chinese people, and the imminent imperialist situation in view of the general situation. Well, of course, Zhang Guotao himself did not believe it, and for this reason he quarreled with Ma Lin, the representative of the Third International, in Canton.

Mao ZD took a deep breath of cigarette, then got up and retorted, he said: "Our strength is still very weak, and the key to the success of this crusade is entirely whether the melee between the enemies will give us a chance, and we cannot pin the future of the revolution on such an opportunity, this is an opportunist mistake!" As long as we have this piece of land in hand, we will still be able to make a comeback even if we have some setbacks in our Eastern Crusade. Therefore, I insisted that the first force be kept in northern Shaanxi, and that General Yang Huchen be helped to capture Guanzhong. "Mao Zd has seen Zhou Elai walk in at this time, he knows that Zhou Elai's important surname, if Zhang Guotao wants to implement his ideas, he must get Zhou's support, otherwise Zhang Guotao has no foundation in the army, and he will not be able to command the Northwest New Army at all." Come, let's talk a few words, let's talk about whether the base area in northern Shaanxi should be preserved? ”

In his opinion, the Central Committee and the Third International were overly optimistic about the situation of the Chinese revolution, and it may not be a problem to seize Chahar in this crusade, but it is not easy to enter Yanjing and take Zhili, let alone Shandong and Henan. Thinking of this, Zhou Elai said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Comrades, my opinion is that northern Shaanxi still needs to be retained, and there is no contradiction between our retention of northern Shaanxi and the Eastern Expedition to Yanjing. ”

"But then our forces are scattered." At this time, General Pavlov, a Soviet adviser, interjected: "We have only three divisions in total, and if we divide one division, we will lose one-third of our troops, and this will affect the results of our Eastern Crusade." ”

Zhou Elai smiled slightly after hearing this: "There are two keys to our victory in this Eastern Crusade, one is that the melee between warlords will give us this opportunity. The second is a sudden surname. Comrade Pavlov, do you know that there is a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from Yan'an to Yanjing, and the march time along the way takes more than a month. If there is not a single army bluffing in northern Shaanxi during this time, the enemy will think: Where did the revolutionary army in northern Shaanxi go? Are you coming to Yanjing? If Wu Peifu is tightly guarded at all passes of the Great Wall, it will be difficult for me to break through and enter Yanjing even if I have one more division, on the contrary, if he is unguarded, we can suddenly attack to achieve our goal. ”

Zhou Elai skillfully took a detour, combining the retention of troops in northern Shaanxi with the sudden surname of the battle, and for a time the comrades who opposed the retention of troops in northern Shaanxi were actually persuaded by him. As a result, the meeting passed a resolution to form a new Northwest Bureau with Mao Zd as the secretary, leading the Third Division of the Northwest New Army to stay in northern Shaanxi, and to help Yang Huchen attack Guanzhong. Zhou Elai was the political commissar of the Eastern Route Army of the Northwest New Army, and led the Eastern Expedition together with Zhang Guotao, a special commissioner of the Central Committee. On September 2, the Eastern Route Army secretly left Yan'an for the Yulin area, and officially began the Eastern Crusade after the war between Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin began, and would secretly raid Chahar through Suiyuan.
