Xu Yongchang has been in Nanjing for more than ten days, and he came to Nanjing to plead with Chiang Kai-shek for Yan Xishan's comeback. It's just that Chiang Kai-shek still deeply hated Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang for initiating the Central Plains War, and never agreed to Xu Yongchang's request. However, he was very enthusiastic about Xu Yongchang, and rarely invited Xu Yongchang to a family banquet.

Dai Li, who was delicate, knew that Chiang Kai-shek valued Xu Yongchang very much, and replied very carefully: "Xu Yongchang has not left yet." These days, he visited and hosted banquets with President He, Minister Song, Secretary General Yang, Minister Chen, as well as Nanjing Mayor Wei Daoming, Legislator Zheng Yuxiu and his wife, and the content of the discussion was to lobby for Yan Xishan's comeback and ask them to help plead with the principal. ”

He Yingqin, Yang Yongtai, Song Ziwen, and Chen Guofu needless to say, they are all big names in the national political administration. However, this Wei Daoming was not simple, in 1925 after obtaining a doctorate in law from the University of Paris, he returned to China the following year to work as a lawyer, listed in Shanghai to practice, and soon began to participate in the affairs of the Kuomintang. In 1927, he became secretary general of the Ministry of Justice, and the following year the Ministry of Justice was reorganized and renamed the Ministry of Justice Administration, and at the age of 29, he became the first minister. In 1930, he became the mayor of Nanjing.

He was neither a native of Zhejiang, nor a relative of Chiang Kai-shek's old friends, but he was able to become the mayor of the capital of the national political axe in just a few years, which shows that he has outstanding ability and has won Chiang Kai-shek's trust and appreciation.

As for his wife Zheng Yuxiu, it is even more difficult.

During the Republic of China, the feminist movement that opposed the inferiority of men and women, advocated equality between men and women, and defended women's rights was on the rise, and a large number of outstanding female surnames with active ideas and talents and good looks emerged, such as Qiu Jin, Chen Chufen, He Xiangning and other prominent representatives. Among the many outstanding female surnames, there is a female surname that combines many "firsts", which is particularly eye-catching, and she is Zheng Yuxiu.

Zheng Yuxiu was once the first provincial-level female administrative officer during the political axe period of the Republic of China; the first female president of the district court and the director of the two judicial departments; the first unofficial female diplomatic envoy; The first female surname to participate in the drafting of the Draft Civil Code of the Republic of China; The first female lawyer in China to obtain a doctorate...... This is a leading female among women who has many "firsts" and can be said to be the first to open the atmosphere of the Republic of China.

These are not enough, Zheng Yuxiu has an even more glorious history, she once assassinated the Manchu regent with Wang Jingwei, Yuan Shikai and Liangbi; After World War I, under her threat, Lu Zhengxiang, the Manchu foreign minister, did not dare to go to Versailles to sign and betray Shandong, which is the so-called "Rose Branch Incident"; She also served as the president of Peking Women's Normal University; Since 27 years, he has successively served as the director of the Shanghai Trial Hall, a member of the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang, a member of the Jiangsu Political Committee, the director of the Jiangsu District Procuratorate, the president of the Shanghai Provisional Court and the president of the Shanghai Distribution Yuan, a member of the Kuomintang Legislative Committee, a member of the Construction Committee, and a series of important positions.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that with the establishment of the Nanjing Nationalist Legislative Yuan in 1928, in January of the following year, Zheng Yuxiu, Fu Bingchang, Jiao Yitang, Shi Shangkuan, and Lin Bin were appointed to form a civil law drafting committee to be responsible for the drafting of the civil law. It can be seen that Zheng Yuxiu's rich experience in legal practice and solid legal theory foundation were among the few in the Kuomintang at that time.

Chiang Kai-shek asked nonchalantly: "Do you know what they are talking about?" Chief He: What is their attitude towards Yan Baichuan's comeback? ”

"Chief He, Minister Song, Minister Chen, and Secretary General Yang are not clear about the content of the conversation with Xu Yongchang at home."

Dai Li peeked at Chiang Kai-shek, and said in his heart that with my current identity, how dare I place people around these people who are red and purple?

Chiang Kai-shek also found that his question was inappropriate, and then asked: "What is the attitude of Wei Daoming and Zheng Yuxiu to this?" ”

Xu Yongchang said to Wei Daoming and Zheng Yuxiu in the hotel that the country now requires the north to be stable and sure, and the country must have a way to deal with Shanxi, especially Shanxi itself has a way and strength. At present, the politics of Jinsui are obviously built on the basis of the army, and if the army cannot be unified, it will inevitably evolve into chaos and chaos. If you want to keep Shanxi out of chaos, you must keep the Jin Sui army out of chaos, and if you want to keep the Jin Sui army out of chaos, you must go out of Yan Xishan to be stable. ”

Dai Li saw that Chiang Kai-shek did not react, and said cautiously: "Xu Yongchang also said that Yan Xishan has deeply regretted launching the Central Plains War, and has made up his mind that he will never be the enemy of the Central Committee and the principal again in this life. He also said that the forces in Shanxi today are huge and complex, and with Yan Xishan in Shanxi, it is better able to balance the forces of all sides, and the chairman of the NPC National Committee can also have more choices and room for maneuver when dealing with local forces in the north. ”

Dai Li is still clear about who the current forces in Shanxi are, and other forces are easy to say, but He Yingqin and Song Ziwen and Lin Wei are all good friends with Song Zhewu, and even Zhang Qun and Yang Yongtai, the two leaders of the political science department, also have a good impression of Song Zhewu, Zhang Qun still does not forget to praise Song Zhewu in public from time to time, and has close contacts with Yu Qiaqing and Song Zhewu's father-in-law Li Yuanda. Each of these people is a figure that he can't afford to offend now.

Therefore, Dai Li did not dare to say Xu Yongchang's original words, but only vaguely replaced them with various forces. However, he believed that Chiang Kai-shek understood the meaning of his words.

After a moment of silence, Chiang Kai-shek said lightly to Dai Li: "Xu Cichen is willing to give up the position of provincial chairman to Yan Baichuan regardless of personal fame and fortune, which shows that he does not pursue fame and fortune, regardless of personal gains and losses. Yan Baichuan befriended Xu Cichen in this life, but he was very blessed. You go and tell Xu Cichen that I will see him again tomorrow. ”

Chiang Kai-shek glanced up at the floor clock, turned his head and asked Dai Li, "Is there anything else?" ”

Dai Li knew that there were still a few of Chiang Kai-shek's henchmen waiting outside, and this was Chiang Kai-shek's order to evict the guests. However, there was one more thing he thought was important that he didn't have time to say, and he was very uneasy. Therefore, he hesitated and did not leave immediately.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that Dai Li still had something to say, and said softly: "Yunong, between you and me, if you have anything to say, tell me directly, and I won't blame you if it's right or wrong." ”

Dai Li pondered for a while, and said cautiously: "In the past two years, students have taken the opportunity of the Fourth Route Army to expand the army and recruit students, and some people have been placed in the Fourth Route Army, but most of them have been dismissed by the Fourth Route Army Security Bureau under various names. ”

"Did they find out it was yours?"

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little gloomy, Dai Li hurriedly said, "No. ”

The students carefully analyzed that these people only had some vague identity history that aroused their suspicions. And as far as I know, there are also some people who are suspected of being communists who have also been dismissed. ”

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was a little disapproving, Dai Li continued: "This time, one of the student's subordinates has already settled down in Pang Bingxun's troops, and recently gained the trust of a communist hidden in Pang Bingxun's troops, and has also been developed into a party member, but the student and several other communists were secretly arrested by their security bureau. ”

"Good!" Chiang Kai-shek exclaimed.

Dai Li smiled bitterly and said: "But they were not tortured or interrogated, they were directly expelled from the military by the people of the Security Bureau, sent to the train and driven out of Shanxi." ”

Dai Li hesitated for a moment and said, "The students suspect that these communists have been identified by the people of the Fourth Route Army Security Bureau. ”

Chiang Kai-shek pondered solemnly for a while, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wen Ge is still loyal to the party-state, at least he has nothing to do with the communists and bandits, I can guarantee this." It's just that Wen Ge is a little pedantic, and he is very disgusted with the internal strife of the people, so he is unwilling to kill the bandits. As everyone knows, he still has too soft hands to govern the troubled times. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said coldly: "However, it is also good for him to tighten the fence like this, and it is still much better than those who let the communists mix with him." Gao Guizi was dragged away by the Communist Party almost a brigade! Zhao Bosheng, Dong Zhentang, Ji Zhentong, Huang Zhongyue and others of Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army also took advantage of Sun Lianzhong's absence to lead 17,000 officers and soldiers to join the Jiangxi Communists! Ji Hongchang of the 30th Division is also suspected of plotting against the Communist Party! What's more, there are even communists who have infiltrated the key departments of the party-state! ”

Dai Li knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek's remark that the communists had infiltrated the key departments of the party-state was accusing the Central Unified Investigation Bureau of infiltrating [***] agents Li Kenong and Hu Di.

In fact, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Dai Li knew that there was another Communist Party that played the most important role in this leak that was concealed by Xu Enzeng and Chen Lifu, that is, Xu Enzeng's confidential secretary Qian Zhuangfei.

It was Qian Zhuangfei who secretly deciphered the secret telegram sent by He Chengjun to Xu Enzeng, which allowed the senior leaders of the [***] Shanghai Provisional Central Committee to escape.

The agent turned out to be the confidential secretary of the investigation section chief, and such a family scandal made Xu Enzeng and Chen Lifu very worried, so the news was strictly sealed. Even, after arresting Qian Zhuangfei's wife, he was soon quietly released.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with the Central Investigation Bureau, Dai Li couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and this was a great opportunity for him to expand his investigation team. Although he was very happy in his heart, Dai Li's face did not dare to show the slightest expression.

Dai Li took the opportunity to say: "Principal, in order to collect detailed and reliable information, students want to set up semi-public offices in Beiping, Taiyuan, Jinan, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places......

Before Dai Li finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek had already understood Dai Li's thoughts, thought for a while and said: "Your communication investigation team is now subordinate to the chamber, and it is a little inconvenient to do things. In my opinion, He Jinhan, Zheng Jiemin, and Kang Ze are going to set up the Fuxing Society, and you can join this organization and set up a special agency for espionage activities in the Fuxing Society, with you as the director......"
