Was there a way out to be a "farming" warlord in the Republic of China era? Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the one he was about to meet. The field is not easy to plant, at least it is difficult for you to plant better than Yan Laoxi. This man who ruled Shanxi for 38 years, before the Central Plains War, had always been known as a "peace warlord", devoted himself to "farming" and economic development, and basically did not participate in the warlord melee, but what happened in the end? In Luo Yaoguo's previous life, he had heard the story of "five hundred colleagues, becoming benevolent in the fire". This time in Shanxi, Luo Yaoguo not only talked about business with Yan Laoxi, but also wanted to meet Yan Huiqing, who was still a little girl.

After attending the opening ceremony of the Whampoa Military Academy, Luo Yaoguo accompanied Mr. Zhongshan to attend the opening ceremony of the military and political cadre school led by GCD. There are about 200 revolutionary youths here with lofty ideals for the liberation of all mankind, and under the leadership of a cadre of Soviet advisers and GCD political instructors, they are highly ambitious, full of spirit, and neatly lined up, which is obviously much better than the Whampoa Military Academy students led by the Kuomintang alone. Seeing that Mr. Zhongshan nodded frequently, Comrade Zhongzheng frowned, it seems that the group of first-term students of the Whampoa Military Academy will soon be unlucky. In fact, Luo Yaoguo could see that the students of the Military and Political School were not much stronger than those in Huangpu, but there were fewer people, so the queue was easy to train.

On the occasion of the opening ceremony of the two schools, Yu Youren sent a telegram from Yanjing, informing him that President Cao Kun had appointed General Yang Hucheng as the envoy of northern Shaanxi. President Cao Da was very pleased that General Yang had mobilized many members of the Shaanxi National Assembly to come to Beijing to support him, and decided not to pursue the relationship between General Yang and Mr. Zhongshan. Although President Cao Kun came from the wrong way, he still wanted to do this job very well, and was unwilling to provoke a war against northern Shaanxi for no reason, and besides, no one among the division commanders and brigade commanders under President Cao wanted to go to northern Shaanxi to defend it, and everyone was more interested in Shanghai and Zhejiang.

"Fuwen, what do you think of Yanjing?" In the garden of the Generalissimo's Palace, two big men are walking side by side, one of them is the protagonist, and the other is Chiang Kai-shek. The two of them had just reported to Mr. Nakayama on the progress of the Northwest Military Plan. Mr. Zhongshan instructed that, if possible, the new army from the northwest should be allowed to enter Yanjing City.

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly and said: "Jiegong, the Prime Minister's words have their own deep meaning, we are believers in the Prime Minister, just implement them well." ”

"Alas, I'm worried that GCD will set up its own political axe after entering Yanjing and not take the prime minister seriously." Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were always on the central power, and he still couldn't jump out of the box.

"Jiegong, Yanjing is a place of right and wrong, and the throne of the central government is also tight, if you go in and continue to sell the country for glory, then you will be spurned by the people of the whole country, if all unequal treaties are abolished, I am afraid that this seat will not be able to sit still." Luo Yaoguo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that only GCD has the courage to pull the emperor off the horse, and neither we nor Fengzhang dare." ”

Chiang Kai-shek snorted lightly and stopped talking, apparently his views on this issue were completely inconsistent with those of Mr. Nakayama.

When Luo Yaoguo saw Lao Jiang's expression, he also smiled slightly, and stopped persuading. He knew that this Yanjing City was not so easy to enter, in history, Zhang Feng bought Feng Christ to defect, Yanjing was in the hands of Feng Yuxiang, GCD could not start a war with Feng Yuxiang, if he wanted to enter Beijing, he could only govern with Feng Yuxiang in the same city. Feng was later persecuted by all parties, and it was like a crater in Yanjing, and it is estimated that someone is willing to sit on the volcano with him, right? And the name of the center is not easy to take, you are reluctant to let go of Yanjing and the center, so you don't want to move. It's dangerous to think about, now the GCD is not Mao ZD in charge, but a group of Soviet advisers who don't understand China's national conditions and a few big nerds.

After sending the depressed old Jiang back to the General Staff Office Building, Luo Yaoguo drove to the GCD station in Beiguan, Guangzhou. Probably in order to teach the cadets of the military and political cadre schools nearby, the GCD also moved the central station to Beiguan, Guangzhou. Unlike the revolutionary atmosphere in Guangzhou in the past, due to the promulgation of the discipline and government orders, Guangzhou is now very calm, there are no demonstrations, but commerce and trade are developing rapidly.

The GCD Central Committee was holding a meeting at this time, and the topic of discussion was also about the Northwest New Army. The conference room was filled with smoke, and most of the committee members were accustomed to smoking and thinking about problems, especially Mao ZD. As the party's military secretary and the general political commissar of the Northwest New Army, the burden on his shoulders is not insignificant, and the questions to be pondered are simply myriad.

"Comrades, let me first talk about the preliminary plans drawn up by our military secretariat. The secretariat suggested that the construction of the new army in the northwest should be carried out in a two-pronged manner, with cadres training in Guangzhou on the one hand, and the formation of the new army in the northwest starting in northern Shaanxi on the other. We can let the military cadres of the Kuomintang and our political cadres first put up the shelves of the troops, wait until our own military cadres are well trained, and then expand them, and strive to build a genuine revolutionary army within a year. [***] took a step while smoking a cigarette and recommended to the Central Committee the plan drawn up by the Military Department during this time.

At this time, the leaders of the GCD Central Committee in Guangzhou were mainly composed of Chen Duxiu, Mao Zd, Cai Hesen, Luo Zhanglong, and Tan Pingshan. Among them, Mao ZD, Cai Hesen, and Luo Zhanglong are all from Hunan, and Mao ZD is the leader, so at this time, Mao ZD is the de facto No. 2 person in GCD, and he is also an important military secretary.

"Comrade Runzhi is right." Cai Hesen stood up first and seconded. "The time frame for forming a revolutionary army within a year is a bit tight, and a two-pronged approach is the best choice. It's just that without our own military cadres, will we let the Kuomintang military cadres control the troops? ”

Tan Pingshan listened to Cai's question, shook his head indifferently and said with a smile: "I know the two comrades Xuesheng and Xiyi, they are loyal believers in the prime minister, and they also support the three major policies. Unlike other Kuomintang generals, they would not turn the New Army into their own private army. "Tan Pingshan is a veteran of the Kuomintang and a member of the Central Bureau of GCD, uh, he mixes well at both ends.

Chen Duxiu turned his head to look at the Soviet adviser General Pavlov sitting on the side, he was a military adviser to the Whampoa Military Academy in history, but now, the Whampoa Military Academy has a big butterfly that graduated from West Point, and a Chinese-German mixed-race military expert who is coaxing a cow, so the Soviet adviser is not very interested.

"Comrade Advisor, what do you think?" Chen Duxiu asked.

Pavlov did not know Chinese, and siblings Qu Ming and Qu Ying took turns acting as his translators. After listening to Qu Ming's translation, General Pavlov pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Comrade Mao Zd's suggestion can be considered, but we must also strengthen the leadership of the troops, such as the soldiers' committees, the party branches must be established in a timely manner, and the political commissars of each army must be in place in a timely manner, so that even if there are no party military cadres, they can fight." Historically, more than 30,000 military experts have worked for us in our wars with the White Army, and as long as there are enough political cadres, it is not a problem to use military experts from the old army. ”

"Okay, Runyuki, you get ready. When the Kuomintang negotiates with Shanxi and Yang Hucheng, we can bring people to enter first and start to form our own armed forces. Speaking of this, Chen Duxiu, who has never been interested in guns, was also a little fascinated, as if he saw tens of thousands of Red Army troops marching into Yanjing City with high spirits.

As soon as the GCD meeting ended, Luo Yaoguo's car was parked at the door of the Zhongg station.

"Where's Fuwen, welcome, welcome, how come you busy man have time to come to us?" At this time, the relationship between the two parties was in the honeymoon period, and Mao ZD was naturally very enthusiastic about Luo Yaoguo's arrival, and personally greeted him at the gate of the central station.

shook hands with Mao ZD, exchanged a few words, and the two walked into the building of the Central Station of China G side by side. As soon as he walked into the office of the Military Secretariat, Luo Yaoguo went straight to the point and explained his intentions. "Chairman, Yan Jing called, and the bearded man has won the official position of the envoy of the town of northern Shaanxi for General Hucheng. Moreover, the representatives of the bearded Weng and Yan Baichuan had already met. We can go to Taiyuan at any time to meet him and discuss the purchase of weapons and equipment. Is there anyone on the G side who wants to go with us? According to the usual practice, after negotiating with Yan Baichuan, you must pay a deposit of 20% first. So, you need to prepare $1 million. ”

"Good, good. This time, the matter of purchasing arms has been entrusted to General Fuwen, and our party has complete trust in the general. We will arrange for the two siblings, Qu Ming and Qu Ying, to assist you. However, they will only manage the checks for you and will not be involved in the negotiations. Mao ZD pointed to Qu Ming and Qu Ying on the side and said with a smile.

Luo Yaoguo smiled at the two siblings, shook his hand and said, "It's okay, although Sheen and Xiaoying are good to participate in the negotiation with me, of course, they can't say that they are GCD, Yan Baichuan will not be able to accept it all of a sudden." If you are ready, you will leave the day after tomorrow, this time as compradors of Citibank in the United States. Take the train the day after tomorrow to the north, to Zhengding and meet with the representatives of the bearded Weng and Shanxi. ”
