Chapter 31: Unexpected Assessment (5)
That night, the official residence of Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing. It was already past 10 o'clock, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was wearing pajamas, was still pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. Chiang Kai-shek is a person who is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and he is very particular about his daily life and diet. He was already asleep, and was woken up by Zhang Zhizhong of Laiyuan, who sent a telegram in the form of an urgent telegram unlike before, and after reading the telegram with some unhappiness, he immediately lost his sleepiness and immediately asked people to find Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei.
There are two copies of the telegram, one is the list of personnel appointed after the expansion of the security brigade, and this matter can be handled completely according to Song Zhewu's wishes, and he will not disagree, and the report is only for the preparation of individual cases. The key was the second telegram, which made him a little suspicious.
The content of this telegram was also divided into two parts, and in the first part of the telegram, Zhang Zhizhong reported to him Song Zhewu's own account of the reasons for the formation of the troops, and specifically mentioned the issue of this telegram. Chiang Kai-shek had a very deep understanding of the book. When he was studying in Japan, he knew that there were many people in the military and political circles who had fanatical ambitions for China, from low-level officers to high-level elites. He said that sooner or later there would be a life-and-death battle that would determine the fortunes of the country, and he was convinced of this. But he is not optimistic about China now, even though he is the leader of the country. He believes that the gap between China and China is too great, and it is not a gap in any one aspect, but in all aspects of politics, military, economy, education, and social structure. The gap between the two is not just 10 or 20 years, but 30 to 50 years. He believes that only by burying its head in development for 30 to 50 years can China have the strength to fight a war with China. At present, we can only endure and retreat from the constant provocations of Yue himself, and we must not give him a handle and let him find an excuse for starting a war. Therefore, let him lose face in front of the Chinese people, and the Jinan tragedy was cited as a great shame, and he endured it. It's just that as the leader of the country, he can and can't say many things.
Now he only wants to actually unify the military power of the whole country as soon as possible, and then quickly integrate it, so that a truly unified China will make him have some scruples. What is hateful is that as soon as the old warlords were defeated, a new batch of more powerful warlords appeared. What made him even more angry was that they disregarded the general interests of the country and the nation, and even went so far as to have eyebrows with foreign forces. When the Second Northern Expedition hit Hebei, he gave a guarantee to this Yan Baichuan that as long as the Jin Sui army captured Baoding, he would guarantee that he would occupy Beiping and Tianjin peacefully. If he wasn't afraid that he would cause any more trouble, Hebei would never have completely handed over to him Yan Baichuan. There is also that Feng Huanzhang, who is still linked to Soviet Russia, although he knows that Feng Huanzhang is just using Soviet Russia to increase the cost of confrontation with himself.
Chiang Kai-shek's gaze swept over the telegram on the table again, this Song Wenge is not simple, and he sees his own wolf ambition so clearly, and there are very few politicians in [***], and even among those politicians in the central government, there are very few people who can have such vision. What is commendable is that he is not only thinking, but also starting to do it, but in the end he is still young, with his own strength, how can he resist the power of the whole country with only 100,000 people.
The second part of the telegram is Song Zhewu's analysis of the domestic situation, and his views on the Gui system, the Jin Sui Army, and the Northwest Army are almost the same as his, which cannot help but surprise him very much. Especially the way to deal with Bai Chongxi made him suspicious. When he first saw it, he almost immediately believed that someone had leaked the content of that day's meeting to Song Zhewu, which made him so angry that he actually stretched out his hand to him! At that time, he decided to clean up the Gui family and solve this Song Zhewu first. But after thinking about it, I dispelled this thought. The people who attended the meeting that day can be said to be his confidants, and they will never leak the content of the meeting, even He Jingzhi, who is half-hearted to him. And none of these people noticed in advance that this young man nestled in the ravine of Taihang Mountain. What's more, if someone leaked it to this Song Zhewu, he would never dare to show off in front of Zhang Zhizhong. If no one leaks it to him, then this Song Wenge will be terrible. Just by thinking of the way to release Tang Shengzhi, a hungry wolf, this Song Wenge is very courageous, and he believes that neither Yan Baichuan nor Feng Huanzhang will and dare not do this.
Although this Song Zhewu clearly stated that he supports the central government and supports him, we cannot only look at what he says, but also how he acts, and all this needs time to prove. This Song Wenge is definitely a sharp double-edged sword, and if used well, it can be invincible and kill opponents; If you don't use it well, you may cut yourself. As for how to win over Song Zhewu, he is very hesitant now.
Soon, Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei came in one after the other. Chiang Kai-shek's summoning people late at night rarely happened, and they both knew the living habits of the chairman, and the two looked at each other, trying to find the answer in each other's eyes, and the two pairs of eyes quickly turned away in disappointment.
Chiang Kai-shek saw the demeanor of both of them, and pointed to the telegram on the table: "There are two telegrams sent back by Wen Bai from Laiyuan, you can take a look first." Chiang Kai-shek continued to pace slowly in the room with a blank face.
The two of them only glanced at the telegram of the personnel appointment and put it aside, and they already knew about the expansion. But after reading the second telegram, both of them opened their mouths in surprise and broke out in a cold sweat, because of the sweat, Yang Yongtai's glasses even slipped to the lower end of the bridge of his nose, they thought that their chairman wanted to track down who leaked secrets.
Looking at the nervous expressions of the two, Chiang Kai-shek knew that these two people had the same idea as he had at the beginning, but his mood relaxed, returned to his place and sat down, and said lightly: "Don't think about leaks, the people who attended the meeting that day, I trusted, and that would never happen." Wen Bai has a good impression of this Song Wenge, and I want to hear your opinions. ”
Both of them know that Zhang Zhizhong has been following Chiang Kai-shek since the early days of the establishment of Whampoa, and he is not greedy for merit, not authoritarian, and has absolutely no ambitions, such a person is the most reassuring and trusted person by Chiang Kai-shek. If Zhang Zhizhong said this, it would be really difficult for the two of them to say anything. The two looked at each other, but neither said a word.
Chiang Kai-shek found the problem in his words, coughed lightly, and said: "Don't worry, Wenbai is a good and honest person, but honest people are easy to be deceived, and I just want to hear your views now." ”
Chiang Kai-shek said this, and the two knew that it would be impossible not to express their position, so Yang Yongtai thought for a while and said: "Since the chairman of the committee is sure that it is not a leak, then this young man is a talent, and he is a great talent, and it is rare for him to have such a sober understanding of the current situation at a young age." The analysis of the Gui faction, the Jin Sui Army, and the Northwest Army is very reasonable, and in particular, the method of dealing with the Bai Chongxi Department of the Gui faction is exactly the same as the plan of the chairman of the committee. Such talents must be collected by the central authorities at all costs and must never be used by others. ”
Lin Wei saw Chiang Kai-shek looking at him, knew that it was time to speak, thought for a while and said: "I agree with Mr. Changqing's opinion, this Song Zhewu can be civil and martial, not only can see the general trend of the current situation clearly, he can train the troops so strong in two years, he is a rare military talent, if it is not in our central military system, it must be our great enemy, and he must be pulled over." Judging from the telegrams sent back by Wen Bai in the past few days, this Song Zhewu still has his heart set on the central government, and as long as the chairman of the committee shows him kindness, he will have a great grasp of this side. Again, it is whether to transfer him out of Laiyuan and arrange a more suitable position for him. ”
Chiang Kai-shek understood what the two meant, both of them thought that Song Zhewu must be stopped, and both recognized that Song Zhewu was a talent, but Yang Yongtai's words had another meaning of prevention. That is, such a person must not be used by others, and if he votes for Yan Baichuan and Feng Huanzhang, it is indeed a very terrible thing. However, Chiang Kai-shek was not worried that this Song Wenge would leave him, and he did not believe that such a smart person would join other camps with no future. Judging by what this young man has done, he is idealistic, ambitious, and of course ambitious. He Jiang has never been afraid of ambitious people, he is only afraid of people who are not ambitious. It is easy to be ambitious and ambitious, I believe that this Song Wenge must know very well that only he, Jiang someone, can meet his wishes and even realize his ideals, Yan Baichuan and Feng Huanzhang do not have this ability, nor do they have this vision. If this Song Wenge is a mediocre person, he really needs to increase investment now, but the key is that this young man is a smart person. Chiang Kai-shek, who originally wanted to give Song Zhewu some more benefits, changed his mind after listening to the words of Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei. If Song Zhewu knew that he was smart but was mistaken by being smart, he would definitely slap himself twice, and it was two hard slaps!
Chiang Kai-shek, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked Yang Yongtai: "Changqing, when will those reporters come to Laiyuan?" ”
"They have arrived in Zhengzhou yesterday, and I will check the specific itinerary tomorrow." Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek did not answer their words, but asked about the reporters' itinerary, it was obvious that the chairman of the committee already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't say more.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and then said: "You tell the people of the Central Propaganda Department that you must arrive at Laiyuan at noon on the thirtieth day of the lunar month. Song Wenge is the elite of the party-state and the model of the people, and when this country is in difficulty, he must vigorously publicize it in order to boost morale and people's morale. You say hello to Jingzhi again, and our people along the way will ensure that the reporters arrive at Laiyuan on time at all costs. ”
"Weiwen." Chiang Kai-shek turned to Lin Wei and said solemnly: "You go to the Ministry of Military Affairs tomorrow, and if you want them to issue a letter of appointment according to this list, then you take the letter of appointment and fly to Beiping, show Shang Zhen the central government's appointment to the security brigade, and ask for his opinion." You also have to tell him that he is diligent in Hebei and cares about the people's livelihood, the central government knows the land, and I, Jiang someone, know the land in my heart, and he still has to take care of the land in Song Zhewu's department, and Song Zhewu's appointment is for him to announce the place. ”
Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei were a little surprised, their suggestion that Chiang Kai-shek was noncommittal, and let Lin Wei go to Laiyuan to pay it back, but the central government allocated salaries to Song Zhewu's ministry, why did Shang Zhen announce the appointment, isn't this a wedding dress for people? On the way out, Yang Yongtai had already figured out Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and under Lin Wei's repeated questioning, Yang Yongtai sighed deeply and said: "Chairman Gao Ming! Lin Wei had to ask again, an attendant chased him out and asked Lin Wei to go back to see the chairman, Yang Yongtai knew that this was the chairman of the committee and there was a confidential matter for Lin Wei, a person from Huang, Lu, Yi, and Zhejiang, to do it, so he didn't mind, got in the car and left.
Lin Wei returned to Chiang Kai-shek's study, and Chiang Kai-shek slowly and solemnly explained to Lin Wei: "After you arrive in Laiyuan, you have to talk to Song Zhewu alone to see what he wants from the central government, as long as he is not too demanding, you can agree to him on my behalf." After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek explained to Lin Wei: "The position of provincial chairman is no longer there, but you can tell him that he can pick one or two of the northern provinces in the future." Ignoring Lin Wei's somewhat surprised eyes, he continued: "You go to Dai Li's place immediately, go to a set of passwords, and give them to Song Wenge for him to use as a contact with the attendant room." ”
Lin Wei understands now, the chairman of the committee wants Song Zhewu to be a surprise soldier! Several provinces in the north are now in the hands of Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang, this is to tell Song Zhewu, if you want to get what you want, you have to help me, you can get what you need, I agree, it depends on whether you have the strength.
Lin Wei went to the attendant's room to find Dai Li, who graduated from the 6th phase of Whampoa, was waiting for him in the office, and Dai Li was only Chiang Kai-shek's attendant adjutant at this time. After Lin Wei got the password and signed for it, he hurried back to prepare for tomorrow's trip.
