Chapter 370: Layout of the Jin Banknote Turmoil (11)
That night, Chiang Kai-shek, who had been silent for several days, finally issued a series of orders, which finally brought an end to the uproar of the Jin banknote turmoil.
In the Shanxi region under the current control of the Fourth Route Army, the Taiyuan Administration was established, and the director of the Administration was recommended by Song Zhewu and submitted to the Central Political Axe for approval. The Taiyuan Administration is still governed by Shanxi Province, but all government affairs of the Taiyuan Administration are decided by the Taiyuan Administration; The establishment of Datong, Jinnan two offices, under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Provincial Government.
The chairman of Shanxi Provincial Political Axe is still Shang Zhen, but the location of Shanxi Provincial Political Axe needs to be moved to Linfen; Shanxi Provincial Bank was handed over to the Taiyuan Administration for operation, and Shanxi Provincial Government Axe was no longer allowed to issue Jin banknotes and any banknotes; All the property of Shanxi Provincial Government Axe within the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Administration shall be owned by Taiyuan Administration and shall be at its disposal.
Li Peiji was appointed to continue to serve as the chairman of the Suiyuan Provincial Political Axe, and Fu Zuoyi was appointed as the commander of the Suiyuan garrison; The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province was established, Bai Yunti was appointed as the chairman of the provincial political axe, Jing Yuexiu was the commander of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Provincial Garrison, and the location of the provincial political axe was Baotou.
In addition to the mineral resources tax, all the fiscal and tax revenues of the Taiyuan Administration, Suiyuan, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Provinces are at the disposal of the local political axe, and the Taiyuan Administration, Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province, and Outer Mongolia Autonomous Province are all under the control of the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, and the domestic finance and taxation can be uniformly transferred by the Northern Frontier Governor's Office.
At the same time, the Ministry of Military Affairs formally agreed to the Fourth Route Army to add the numbers of the 10th, 11th, and 12th armies.
Obviously, because Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang were unable to solve the problem of Jin money, Chiang Kai-shek could not take the "things" that had just been handed over to Zhang Xueliang and immediately ask for them back from Zhang Xueliang, but after Zhang Xueliang made his statement clear, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to the demands of the people in Shanxi in order to calm down public opinion as soon as possible.
However, Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that the reason why the Jin banknote issue was so big even made him, the supreme leader of the Republic of China, a little discouraged, and it must be Song Zhewu behind it. Chiang Kai-shek was not only disgusted by Song Zhewu's move to blackmail the will of the people and the central government, but could even be said to be very angry. It's just that now he can't make any clear expression of his displeasure, let alone make any relieving moves.
This is because Chiang Kai-shek believed that Soviet Russia would never give up on its laurels in Outer Mongolia and would definitely stir up trouble in Outer Mongolia, where Song Zhewu and his Fourth Route Army needed to deal with it. In Outer Mongolia, not to mention that the national political axe whip is beyond his reach, what is more important is that his main task now is to solve the "red bandits" who are making trouble in various places as soon as possible, especially the Vermilion Red Army in Jiangxi The sooner the better it is, otherwise it will become a big trouble for the party-state, and in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, the Vermilion Red Army is his greatest threat, and compared with the Vermilion Red Army, all local warlord forces are insignificant.
Moreover, he has introduced Zhang Xueliang into the customs to contain Song Zhewu, naturally he never wants to see Zhang Xueliang dominate in North China, Zhang Xueliang also needs someone to restrain him, of course, this person is none other than Song Zhewu.
However, if it comes to power and strategy, Chiang Kai-shek has the means, Chiang Kai-shek will not swallow this breath so easily, Song Zhewu did this, and it just adds content to the contradiction between Zhang Xueliang and Song Zhewu, such a good opportunity, Chiang Kai-shek will never let go easily.
Although Chiang Kai-shek had to agree to Song Zhewu's several demands in order to solve the Jin banknote matter, he could not all follow his Song Zhewu's wishes.
Regarding Song Zhewu's request to hand over all the assets of Shanxi Province's political axe to him, Chiang Kai-shek only partially satisfied Song Zhewu, so that he could be regarded as having an explanation for Zhang Xueliang and Shang Zhen, so that these two would not be dissatisfied with him Jiang Zhongzheng.
Suiyuan is already under the absolute control of Song Zhewu, after this Jin money turmoil, Chiang Kai-shek estimated that Zhang Xueliang would probably not dare to let go of Suiyuan, and he wanted him to open this mouth with Song Zhewu, he couldn't say, after all, Song Zhewu had helped him. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek did not consult Zhang Xueliang, and directly announced the appointments of Li Peiji, Fu Zuoyi, and Bai Yunti.
The reason why Chiang Kai-shek is like this is because Li Peiji is Shang Zhen's old department, and Shang Zhen was appointed by Zhang Xueliang, Song Zhewu and Shang Zhen are not on good terms, and Li Peiji cannot be of the same mind as Song Zhewu, and it is inevitable to be inclined to Zhang Xueliang. This made Zhang Xueliang easy to accept, and Song Zhewu couldn't say anything, after all, he also got the jurisdiction of Suiyuan.
As for the appointment of Fu Zuoyi as commander of the Suiyuan garrison, Chiang Kai-shek was also based on the same considerations, and the matter between Zhang Xueliang and Fu Zuoyi was known to all Chinese.
The appointment of Bai Yunti as the chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province did not appoint Jing Yuexiu as vice chairman as requested by Song Zhewu, and this move was to tell Jing Yuexiu that I, Jiang Zhongzheng, were the supreme leader of China, and only what I said counted. is also to give Song Zhewu a warning, and it is better to play less tricks with me Jiang Zhongzheng.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek happily put Song Zhewu a few ways, or did not forget to give Song Zhewu a few sweet dates to taste, this is also Chiang Kai-shek's consistent style, for Song Zhewu like him for the time being, he can't kick away for the time being, both soft and hard hands must be used, not only to show his authority, but also to show grace.
He Yingqin had already mentioned the numbers of the three armies that Song Zhewu wanted to him several times, but he kept suppressing them and did not give them, but this time he had to approve them. Although Jing Yuexiu's vice chairman did not give it, he gave Jing Yuexiu a garrison commander.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to hand over the administrative power of the Taiyuan Administration, Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province, and Outer Mongolia Autonomous Province to Song Zhewu's Northern Frontier Governor's Office for control, and the fiscal and tax revenues of these places were also owned by the local government.
When Chiang Kai-shek was in Song Zhewu's crusade against the Gui family, he personally promised Song Zhewu on the Snake Mountain in Wuhan, 'Song Zhewu's so-called preparations for the War of Resistance against Japan, but he Jiang Zhongzheng has no money left over to him, but Shanxi's local finances and taxes can be used for him to expand armaments and wars'.
The provincial chairmen of Suiyuan and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Provinces are not Song Zhewu's people, but if they are under Song Zhewu's control, these two people will inevitably deviate from Song Zhewu, and even hinder them everywhere. Moreover, in these places, in addition to the Taiyuan Administration, the annual fiscal and tax revenues of the remaining three places are pitiful, and that little money is not only unsightly for him Jiang Zhongzheng, but also for him Song Zhewu, it will not be of much help to him Song Zhewu, but it is better to do this to show his generosity.
After this arrangement, Chiang Kai-shek's resentment against Song Zhewu finally vented a little, and his self-esteem was slightly satisfied.
Knowing these orders issued by Chiang Kai-shek, Song Zhewu couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that this was because Jin Qian and his own actions to fight for control of Shanxi made Chiang Kai-shek angry with himself. But he does have something unspeakable, it is good not to have other places in Shanxi, he must not do without the complete arsenal and very good industrial foundation in Taiyuan, otherwise everything needs him to start from the investment.
Although Song Zhewu was very helpless about Chiang Kai-shek's appointment of Li Peiji and Bai Yunti as provincial chairmen, Song Zhewu was confident that he still had a way to deal with these two "unarmed" people.
The only thing that made him very unhappy was that Chiang Kai-shek appointed Fu Zuoyi as the commander of the Suiyuan garrison, and Fu Zuoyi's stay in Suiyuan would make him very uneasy, and he must divide the troops to prepare for Fu Zuoyi, which would contain him a lot of strength.
However, there was also something that made Song Zhewu happy, that is, Chiang Kai-shek handed over to him the finances and taxes of the Taiyuan Administration, Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province, and Outer Mongolia Autonomous Province. Except for the Taiyuan Administration, the finances and taxes of these places are very small, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province and the Outer Mongolia Autonomous Province have never received the political axe of the Nanjing Central Committee in the past, so it is naturally not a big deal to hand it over to Song Zhewu.
Moreover, even the current finance and taxation of the Taiyuan Administration is not much, and during the Yan Xishan period, the finance and tax of Shanxi Province was only 20 million, which depends on whether the year is good or not, because agricultural tax accounts for a large proportion in Shanxi. At present, according to the information provided by Qiu Zengyi, the finance and taxation of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Administration account for only one-third of the whole province of Shanxi, that is, about six or seven million per year.
He believed that as long as he gained a foothold in Shanxi, Shanxi's industry and commerce would grow rapidly under the drive of his Xinghua, not to mention that private industry and commerce would develop by leaps and bounds, and one or two years later, just his Xinghua would bring huge financial and tax revenues to the Taiyuan Administration, and at that time, I believe that Chiang Kai-shek would regret his intestines.
Of course, military enterprises cannot pay taxes, and this has to be the same as in the Yan Xishan period, which can reduce the chance of leaking secrets.
Although these orders of Chiang Kai-shek were mixed for Song Zhewu, he had no time to be annoyed, and after Chiang Kai-shek issued these orders, he kicked the ball to him again, and he must immediately start the action to restore the value of the Jin banknotes, otherwise he will lose his trust in the people of Shanxi, which is very detrimental to his long-term development in Shanxi.
Song Zhewu immediately sent a telegram back to Nanjing, saying that he fully accepted the orders of the central political axe, and at the same time reported to the central authorities for approval, appointing He Qigong as director of the Taiyuan Administrative Office, Jing Yuexiu as commander of the 10th Army of the Fourth Route Army and director of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Provincial Government Affairs Department, Zhou Yaoming as commander of the 11th Army of the Fourth Route Army, and Wang Bi as commander of the 12th Army of the Fourth Route Army.
Then, Jia Jiying, Zhao Pilian, He Qigong, Kong Wei, Wang Xinggang, Sun Jiahui and others were summoned overnight to discuss the matter of receiving the property of the Shanxi Provincial Bank and the Shanxi Provincial Political Axe in the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Administration, as well as the action plan for restoring the value of the Jin banknotes.
Song Zhewu's Jin banknote turmoil was not just to restore the value of the Jin banknote, but also to fight for control of the Taiyuan region through the Jin banknote incident. Of course, he had already gotten that.
There is another purpose that Song Zhewu can't say to most people, that is, he also needs money now, and he still wants to secretly make a lot of money under the aura of righteous and awe-inspiring rescue of Jin banknotes......
