560 Zhang Xueliang's choice

The news that the Chinese government wanted to establish the Chinese Soviet Republic once again caused an uproar in the Kuomintang region, and Hu Hanmin, chairman of the Nationalist Government, performed one after another at mass rallies, insisting that the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China was the sole legitimate government representing China and was supported by most of the regions and people of China, while the Beijing government was illegal and invalid!

Xie Zhibu Lu and others activated the propaganda machine controlled by the Nationalist Government and vigorously attacked Zhongg

This decision is only the first step in slandering and spreading rumors that the establishment of a Soviet government is only the first step, and then they will annex Soviet China to the Soviet Union and turn the Chinese people into slaves of the Soviet Union! The Kuomintang Youth Department and the Youth Party organized students to take to the streets to protest in front of the Wuhan office of the North-South Exchange Association of China and G, and then the wave of protests swept through the entire Kuomintang region, including Xi'an and Taiyuan, which were deeply affected by the GCD.

Peng Pai, chairman of the board of directors of the Southern Exchange Association, had no choice but to make a statement, declaring that the Beijing government would strictly abide by the constitutional procedures, and that any major matters involving the change of the state system and the formulation or revision of the constitution would be voted on by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and that the results of the vote of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference would be respected on whether or not the Republic of China would be abolished and the Soviet state would be established. At the same time, Peng Pai also called on people of all factions in the south to remain calm, respect the constitution and the system of political consultation, and not fall into the trap of some bad people with ulterior motives!

However, after these statements, the wave of protests in various places intensified, and there were even people who did not know the truth in the procession and put up slogans of the unification of the Central Plains of the Northern Expedition! The Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan, which were under the control of the Kuomintang, simply passed a resolution authorizing the Nationalist Government to use force to safeguard the national system and national unity!

However, the presidium meeting of the Kuomintang rejected the proposal passed by the Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan by a vote of 3 to 2, and it is worth mentioning that in this vote, both Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo voted against it at the same time! And the votes in favor were Luo Yiqun and Xu Chongzhi. Hu Hanmin, on the other hand, reluctantly voted against Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo's suggestion that the war situation in the Northeast was about to deteriorate and that the Nationalist Government was unable to fight on both sides! A reactionary civil war was thus nipped in the bud.

However, the negotiations between the Gumin government and the Chinese and the Chinese and the Chinese and the Chinese and the Chinese

Even after obtaining the consent of the Kuomintang Presidium, he was willing to provide the equipment of five light infantry divisions to the Central G as "tolls", but Gu Shunzhang refused to give in a step, and instead put forward a request for the Nationalist Government to end the training and return the government to the people for democratic elections: "Mr. Gu, now Liaoxi is in an emergency, and saving the troops is like fighting fire!" We have made concessions several times, and we have shown sufficient sincerity, and we hope to get a positive response from your party, but we still do not see it to this day. After Yang Yongtai proposed a new plan again, he was rejected by Gu Shunzhang without hesitation, his face was full of frustration and helplessness.

"Mr. Yang's words are wrong." A hint of pride slipped across Gu Shunzhang's face: "Our party has made great sacrifices in the three-month battle of western Liaoning, and has also shown strong combat effectiveness, but it has not achieved a greater victory because the weapons and equipment are too simple. Therefore, the task of recovering the lost territory in the northeast can be completely accomplished by our army, and if we really have the sincerity to resist Japan, it is better to provide us with the equipment and salaries of the 20 reorganized divisions, and then we can fight against the Japanese invaders. ”

"We ......" Yang Yongtai froze... Below: "Your party's demands are too much, and they are completely vexatious!" At this point, he shook his head: "Is this okay, our National Revolutionary Army does not go north through your party's territory, as long as we agree that we will transport the arms to Tianjin to arm the Northeast Army, and then transfer the Northeast Army out of the customs to fight, this is always okay?" ”

"Do you want to transfer the Northeast Army out of the customs?" Gu Shunzhang smiled coldly: "The Northeast Army lost a full 50,000 people in the Battle of Liaoxi!" But have you ever given a penny of pension? Ever restocked with a bullet, a rifle? Our aircraft factories, tank factories, and shipyards are all huge, far surpassing Japan's! However, the Northeast Army's air force and armored cavalry brigade's request to provide planes and tanks was categorically refused! What's more, our navy also took over the Northeast Army Navy and incorporated them directly into our Beiyang Fleet! If we want to transfer the Northeast Army out of the customs, we should pay off these accounts first. ”

Gu Shunzhang's situation is the truth, and the one who ordered the suspension of military salary subsidies and arms supplies to the Northeast Army was actually Luo Yaoguo, who had just returned to Wuhan as chief of staff! Perhaps because he felt that the outcome of the next Northeast war was unpredictable, after recommending An Sihua as the commander of the theater, Luo Yaoguo returned to Wuhan. And his first order after arriving at the General Staff to work was to cut off all supplies and salaries for the Northeast Army! This move is really a bit puzzling, Luo Yaoguo doesn't seem to want to win Zhang Xueliang at all, and even intends to push him to the middle g.

"That's going to be difficult." Yang Yongtai leaned back in his chair and sighed, and Wu Chong, chairman of the "North-South Foundation" who accompanied him to the negotiations, immediately took over the topic: "Mr. Gu1 If everyone does not give in, the negotiations will inevitably drag on indefinitely, which will have an extremely adverse impact on the Northeast War of Resistance. ”

Gu Shunzhang shook his head slightly: "We have made major concessions, and we also hope that Guixi will come out from the position of the country and the nation and agree to our request." ”

The negotiations reached an impasse again, Yang Yongtai was a little helpless, and Gu Shunzhang had no choice, so the two sides had to adjourn again. When Yang Yongtai returned to the palace of Shuncheng County, he received a report that Chen Duxiu had arrived in Tianjin with his campaign team.

After half a month of preparation, Chen Duxiu's Chinese GCIST League has raised tens of thousands of yuan in campaign funds and has also set up a full set of campaign teams. Although when everything was ready, the news came that China was ready to abolish the Republic of China and establish the Chinese Soviet Republic, Chen Duxiu still did not intend to give up, and he stated that if China and G wanted to establish a Soviet Republic, then he would come to run for the post of chairman of the Central Government of the Soviet Republic! We must see this election through to the end.

"Hehe, this Chen Duxiu's temper is stubborn, and he has to choose to the end at this time... Not bad, not bad. Yang Yongtai still sighed a little bit at this time when he was frustrated at the negotiation table, and he kept nodding with a round face and a smile: "Gongwei." He glanced back at Wu Chong beside him: "Can the Northeast Army guarantee Chen Duxiu's safety?" ”

"General Guo Maochen is supporting us, and there should be no problem with him patting his chest."

Wu Zhong replied: "However, Zhang Xuehao seems to be a little annoyed by the auxiliary marshal for suspending the Northeast Army's military salaries and the supply of weapons and ammunition, and there is intelligence that the Chinese side is also desperately trying to win them over. ”

Yang Yongtai thought for a moment and nodded noncommittally, Luo Yaoguo's intention may be to force the Northeast Army, which can eat and not fight, into the camp of the Central G? The current economy of China and G has been extremely difficult, and if more than 100,000 people eat, it will be a good thing.

"How's the pro-democracy community in Beijing getting in touch? Will Mrs. Sun see us? Yang Yongtai asked again.

Wu Zhong smiled bitterly: "According to the report of our informant beside Mrs. Sun, she seems to be already a secret party member of Zhongg, and it is estimated that she will not meet with us, and even if she does, she will not be together." ”

Yang Yongtai's face suddenly became serious, Song Qingling's status is very special, she is Sun Yat-sen's widow, and she must be able to represent Sun Yat-sen's last wishes. If she openly joins the Central G, the Kuomintang Central Committee in Wuhan can naturally accuse her of "betrayal". But now she is secretly joining, ostensibly the widow of Sun Yat-sen, the "mother of the nation" of the Kuomintang, and the lethality of criticizing and attacking the Kuomintang is extraordinary!

"What the hell does this woman want! She returned the letter given to her by the presidium, and she did not read Mrs. Chiang's handwritten letter, and followed the GCD wholeheartedly, but on face she regarded herself as the leader of the left wing of the Kuomintang. Yang Yongtai smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Song Qingling is really worth 100,000 troops, with her waving the flag to the CPPCC and shouting at the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, most of the relevant resolutions of the Soviet Republic can be passed smoothly.

Wu Zhong also understood the reason for Yang Yongtai's distress, and their mission in Beijing this time seemed to be an excuse to negotiate with China and G, but in fact it was to contact the democratic parties and make trouble for China and G. However, there is a great god Song Qingling in the CPPCC, and Yang Yongtai and Wu Chong tried all kinds of ways but did not achieve much success.

"Song Qingling is already a person from Zhongg" Yang Yongtai crossed his arms, frowned and pondered, obviously thinking of something new: "Will Zhang Xueliang also secretly join Zhongg?"

Gongwei went to call Wuhan and asked them if they still wanted to win over Zhang Xueliang, reminding them that without Zhang Xueliang's support, there would be no need for me to stay in Beijing anymore. ”

Wu Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, from Yang Yongtai's tone, he heard that he had the intention of ending his trip to Beijing and giving up continuing to make trouble for Zhongg, after thinking about it, Wu Chong still couldn't help but agree: "Will the presidium give up Zhang Xueliang?" ”

"Maybe." Yang Yongtai: "If Zhang Xueliang's 150,000 army takes refuge in us, it is indeed not easy to arrange, it will definitely not be able to fight, if it is not 50 or 60 million a year, it will not be enough, and the Northeast Army has long been infiltrated by the Japanese and GCD like a sieve." 150,000 people ..............., and they can't prevent it, so they still hit the GCD to be clean. ”

Wu Zhong now understood that Zhang Xueliang's 150,000 troops were a force against the Central G, but only a trouble for the Kuomintang. Rather than take this trouble back, it's better to kick GCD.

After the telegram went out, it was not until the next day that a reply was received from Wuhan, and the Kuomintang presidium agreed with Yang Yongtai to end his work in Beijing. As for Zhang Xueliang's work, there was no word on the presidium's telegram, and it seemed that he was really planning to give up.

Yatsu, the official residence of Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang, the security commander of the three eastern provinces, who had been driven out of the northeast, was just walking around irritably in his study. He was just wearing a bamboo robe. After returning from the defeat in the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang rarely wore military uniforms anymore, and he didn't go to the barracks much, looking completely discouraged. And the body is getting thinner, and when the narrow body is worn, it seems that it can float up when the wind blows.

At this time, Guo Songling was next to a chair under his buttocks, just looking at his students, as if he was waiting for him to make a decision. Zhou E, who came to China G, has been in Tianjin in the past few days, and visited Zhang Xueliang in succession, persuading him to join GCD, and also gave him a high position as a member of the Politburo and vice chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission! However, the Kuomintang side was surprisingly cold, not only did it not send people to promise high-ranking officials, but this cut off the weapons, ammunition and military supplies of the Northeast Army! Completely closed the door to wooing. It seems that the Northeast Army has no second way to go...... Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling have been discussing repeatedly for days that the Kuomintang is strong, and most of the final winners in this troubled era belong to them. Guo Songling has carefully studied the system of the Chinese G, and now this is a political system that is particularly conducive to fighting, and it can tap out the last bit of strength of the entire society for war. As long as the jurisdiction of China G has one-fifth of the financial and material resources of the national control area, it is enough to compete for the country! In other words, as long as China G gets the Northeast, it is possible to win the final victory. And now that the Kuomintang is in trouble in the northeast, the door to success seems to be opening to the center!

In the final analysis, Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army no longer have the ability to survive as a force, and can only choose one between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to join, and the Central G has offered favorable conditions as a member of the Politburo and a vice chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission...... But the Kuomintang refused to bid! In this case, Zhang Xueliang will either go into the field and disband the Northeast Army, or he will have to make a revolution with GCD! This is also a bit of a force on Liangshan?

As soon as the front foot left, Zhang Xueliang summoned Guo Songling, and told him the generous conditions given by Zhong G as soon as they met. After the establishment of the Chinese Soviet Republic, the Northeast Army and the Navy were reorganized into the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and Zhang Xueliang joined the Central Committee and served as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Navy of the People's Republic of China and the Navy of Moreover, the officers in the Northeast Army who are unwilling to join the Central G can be free and immediately, and the Central G will never stop them.

This condition is really generous to the extreme, but Zhang Xueliang couldn't make up his mind for a long time, just dragged his steps, pacing in circles, and the atmosphere in the room was in this silence, which made people feel more and more suffocated and out of breath!

In the end, Guo Songling finally couldn't hold it anymore, stood up suddenly, and sighed long: "Han Qing! Now there is no other way out, why don't you go with GCD first! I see that these GCD people all seem to be doing big things, and I don't know how much stronger they are than those Kuomintang. Moreover, their doctrine is the truth, and in the end, the whole world is theirs, and our Northeast Army is just one step ahead. ”

Guo Songling's insincere words turned out to be hoarse later!

Zhang Xueliang slowly turned his head, and sighed before he could speak: "...... Take a step first, and you can't turn back after taking this step. How much territory is there now? Hehe, Naoli,

Beijing, Chahar, Suiyuan, northern Lubei, northern Shanxi, at most half of Rehe...... I don't know if I can receive thirty or forty million in a year? They have six route armies, and we have three route armies, and if they are all fully formed, it will be 450,000 troops! Together with the local troops, the navy, and the auxiliary forces, how can there be more than 500,000...... And there is a central government, and there are so many democrats......... How can you eat enough with these 30 or 40 million? ”

Guo Songling also complained in his heart, if those territories are in the hands of the Northeast Army, if the tariffs are not counted, it is 20 million a year, and it is still on the basis of tens of thousands of commercial taxes in Tianjin and Beijing. Right now...... Relying solely on the peasants to pay public grain, I really don't know what poverty has become! But now, there is no other way out, he has to squeeze out a smile: "Han Qing, the comrades of Zhongg are not afraid of difficulties, what are we afraid of?" Those who are afraid of hardship and poverty let them get out of the house as soon as possible, and we still have some savings in our hands, so we will share them with them...... The rest of those who are not afraid of hardship or poverty work together, and may be able to break a way to live. Moreover, now the Kuomintang is about to start a war with 10,000 Japanese troops in the northeast, and I estimate that it will take two or three years to determine the victory or defeat in this war. ”

Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth and nodded heavily: "That's right!" It's not that the G doesn't have a chance, the Kuomintang is now overly proud! thought that they could defeat the Japanese army of 10,000 by relying on their 200,000 or 300,000 troops in the northeast, plus the rabble of the Anti-Japanese Alliance! I think that the Northeast War of Resistance will ultimately rely on GCD, as long as the Northeast can be returned to GCD, plus the support of the Soviet people...... There must be a chance in the G. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xueliang had finally made up his mind, Guo Songling let out a long sigh, as if a stone had fallen to the ground. The confident Zhang Shaoshuai in front of him would never have thought at this time that Guo Songling was tired of fighting for power and profit, fighting and killing, and he just wanted to retire to the countryside and stop asking about the world at this time. Before retiring, being able to find a home for Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army can be regarded as worthy of the master and apprentice. Although it is not the most ideal ending, it is better than disarming and returning to the field? After all, Zhang Xueliang is still young, patriotic, and wants to contribute to the country and the nation, since the Kuomintang refuses to give him this opportunity, then join the GCD.

Zhang Xueliang also sighed, thinking of the Kuomintang who kicked him away and ignored him after using it, he couldn't help but want to see their unlucky appearance...... They should be out of luck soon?!
