68. The First National Congress of the Kuomintang
The news of Mr. Nakayama's illness could not be concealed, and due to the unsatisfactory recovery after surgery, Mr. Nakayama was forced to stop working and recuperate in bed for nearly a month, and the planned First National Congress of the Kuomintang in January 1924 was postponed. Of course, the ostensible reason was that the southwestern war was still going on, and that the prime minister and the Kuomintang were now focusing their main efforts on the southwest rather than on the conference.
"Is the message confirmed?" The source of the GCD was Tan Pingshan, a veteran of the Kuomintang, and when they heard that Mr. Zhongshan was terminally ill, all the members of the Central Bureau present were shocked!
"Sure, it was Hu Zhantang who told me personally, and he just had surgery on the 30th of last month." Tan Pingshan's expression was extremely solemn, although he is now a GCD, his feelings for Mr. Zhongshan are still very deep.
Chen Duxiu nodded lightly and asked, "Is it convenient for us to visit Mr. Zhongshan now?" "There seems to be some problems with regard to the cooperation between the two parties, and the right wing of the Kuomintang has obviously been active during this period, and there seems to have been a change in the appointment of members of the Central Executive Committee and the various ministries of the Central Committee. Thinking of this, Chen Duxiu glanced up at [***]. "Runyuki, what do you think?"
[***] smoked one cigarette in a pone, and his brows were twisted. "Chairman, Mr. Zhongshan is sick at this time, which is very unfavorable to us, and it is very likely that the Kuomintang will turn to the right, especially in the southwest, and now there is good news. After taking the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou, the Kuomintang will have a territory of five and a half provinces! It has become the most powerful faction in China. And Chiang Kai-shek's prestige will also increase. I am afraid that he will get a high status in the First National Congress of the Kuomintang this time. ”
Due to Long Yun's defeat, Tang Jiyao lost 30,000 troops at once, and what was even more terrifying was that the signs of anti-Tang within the Dian army began to appear again. After Lingyun's victory, Yang Ximin, who was trapped in Nanning, also went to the wilderness by electricity, and personally ran to the door of the Generalissimo Mansion in Guangzhou to kneel down and plead guilty! As for Liu Zhenhuan, he became the commander-in-chief of Guangxi as he wished, but all the troops under his command were reorganized into the Gui Second Division and the Gui Third Division, of which the commander of the Gui Second Division appointed Xia Wei, the Gui Third Division appointed Li Shunen as the division commander, Yang Ximin's Yunnan army and the Yunnan officers and soldiers captured in the Battle of Lingyun were selected to be elite and incorporated into Wang Jun and Fan Shisheng's troops, and the two directly governed Yunnan armies have now expanded to 15,000 people. After some rectification, the Kuomintang troops in Guangxi now had 10 divisions and two armies, plus three artillery regiments, totaling more than 115,000 troops. And Tang Jiyao's total strength is less than 40,000, and the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou are already in danger.
In late December, Chiang Kai-shek, who had completed the reorganization of his troops, divided his troops into two routes, and attacked Yunnan with Zhu Peide under the command of two Yunnan Army Corps, plus three Guangdong Army divisions and an artillery regiment. Bai Chongxi led five divisions and another artillery regiment to attack Guizhou. Chiang Kai-shek himself sat in Guangxi to purge the local forces that did not obey the Kuomintang.
"What if you take more provinces? As long as we take Yanjing, we can set off a new ** of the Chinese revolution, and we are not afraid that the Kuomintang will not bow its head when the time comes! "Comrade Marin of the Comintern has always been able to muster up a low morale, but now his mood is very heavy. Because, Comrade Lenin's life was at its last moment, and Trotsky seemed to have little hope of becoming his successor.
"Runzhi, you don't want to participate in the first day of the Kuomintang, the Northwest New Army will ask you, there is the future of our party!" Chen Duxiu now seems to know the important surname of the armed forces, and repeatedly told Mao ZD to grasp the troops after he went to northern Shaanxi.
Mao Zd nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Chairman of the National Committee, I will definitely build a new army for the party." As long as we have this army, and then take Suiyuan, we will have a foothold and the capital to dominate the world. Speaking of the word capital, Mao ZD glanced at Marin meaningfully, as if to remind him that this army is the capital of GCD, and there can be no mistakes.
It seems that the post-Zhongshan era is just around the corner. In the 20s of the 20th century, the term cancer was basically synonymous with death. As the news of Mr. Nakayama's imminent death spreads all over the country, heroes from all walks of life smell the opportunities and dangers, and everyone is planning for the new era that is about to come. Among them was Sun Yat-sen himself.
In the Generalissimo's Mansion in Guangzhou, Mr. Zhongshan's hospital room was now filled with important figures in the Kuomintang. Today, Chiang Kai-shek rushed back from Guangxi, and as soon as the old Chiang got the bad news that Mr. Zhongshan was suffering from cancer, he was no longer in the mood to command the troops, and after letting An Yi temporarily take his post, he hurried back to Guangzhou.
"Hehehe, Kai-shek, don't cry, I'm not dead!" Mr. Nakayama's voice doesn't seem to be so loud for a long time, and looking at his face again, it is completely white and ruddy, and his spirit is unusually full.
During this time, various bigwigs of the Kuomintang sent a lot of supplements to Mr. Zhongshan, and he couldn't finish eating, including the thousand-year-old ginseng soup sent by Luo Yaoguo himself, uh, this seems to have a very good effect. After Mr. Nakayama drank it, he became what he is now.
Chiang Kai-shek raised his head to look at the appearance of the boss, and said in his heart: "It seems that in this room, except for Luo Yaoguo, Mr. Zhongshan is more energetic, he really has cancer?" And not something else? Like gallstones? ”
"When Zhongzheng heard that the prime minister was ill, he was terrified, so he ......" said, and Lao Jiang's tears flowed down as if the thread had been broken.
Sun Yat-sen got up from his chair, walked up to Chiang Kai-shek, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Kai-shek, my foolish brother can be regarded as a brush with death this time, and he has seen through many problems. In the future, the affairs of the Kuomintang will depend on you and all comrades to unite and struggle, and Sun Wen will support you behind your back. ”
"Prime Minister, what are you?" Everyone blurted out in unison. Listening to Sun Yat-sen's meaning, he seemed to have the idea of retiring.
"The Kuomintang can't live without me." Before everyone was about to open their mouths to persuade them, Mr. Nakayama said this first. "Without me, you will not unite and struggle, but will fight each other, fight for power and profit, and the good Kuomintang will be cut off, right?" Mr. Nakayama glanced at everyone with two unusually bright eyes, and said over and over again, "So, now that I am in great trouble, I will retreat." And then I'll leave the work to you. These days, I'm lying in a hospital bed thinking a lot of questions, and I'm thinking, if I die this time, what will happen to the KMT? What will happen to the National Revolution? Is there really any one of you who can carry on my business? Zhantang, tell me, is there any? ”
"Alas, if only the competition wasn't so confused." Hu Hanmin sighed, now he is still a little self-aware.
"Kai-shek, can you do it?" Mr. Zhongshan turned his head and asked Chiang Kai-shek again.
Lao Jiang's ability is not inferior to Sun Yat-sen, but this prestige is too far away, thinking of this, Lao Jiang also shook his head helplessly and said: "Zhongzheng can't take on this big responsibility." ”
"Zhaoming, what about you?" Sun Yat-sen asked again.
Now Chen Bijun didn't come, so Wang Jingwei still knew how many catties and taels he had. "Students don't have the prestige to serve the public, nor do they have the ability to lead them." That's basically it.
"Ru Wei, I won't ask you, look at your current mental head, I really don't know who is sick. Alas, if you quit that, you might be able to do something. Looking at Xu Chongzhi, who was drowsy on the side, Mr. Zhongshan felt extremely disappointed, this Xu Chongzhi's prestige was much higher than that of Chiang Kai-shek, especially the old brothers of the Guangdong army were convinced, and their ability was not worse than Chiang Kai-shek, but the enthusiasm of this revolution was really too poor.
"Now that the Kuomintang is here, it is still a party, and if I am not there one day, maybe it will be torn apart in a blink of an eye. So I'm going to retire now, and I'm going to let the power of the Kuomintang smoothly transition into the hands of the new leadership in my lifetime, and I'm going to watch you go through it. "Mr. Nakayama didn't know that he could live for a long time, and as a doctor of low level, he estimated that if he was lucky, he would probably live for two or three years, so he had to think about the future of the Kuomintang." Zhantang, Zhaoming, Kai-shek, Ru Wei, now the Kuomintang except for me, is to respect the four of you. Therefore, I have decided that the four of you will form the presidium of the Kuomintang, and that all major issues involving major state affairs will be implemented only by the four of you reaching an agreement, and if you cannot reach an agreement, I will make the final decision.
Now I have decided to set up the post of chairman of the Kuomintang, to be responsible for the party's regular affairs. In addition, the Generalissimo's Office will also be changed to a national political axe after the First National Congress, and the chairman is also an exhibition hall. There are executive yuan and military committee under the national political axe, and the executive yuan is responsible for the regular management of the political axe. Kai-shek, Ru Wei, the military council is led by the two of you, and is responsible for managing the army. Kai-shek, you will do it, chairman, and you will be the deputy. In addition, Zhan Tang, Zhao Ming, Fu Wen, Yi Zhi, Song Yun, Yi Chen, and Xia Ru are all committee members. Moreover, the chairman of the committee is only the convener of the military committee, not the decision-maker, and all important decisions involving the military must be decided by a vote of the nine members. Important policy decisions include the appointment and dismissal of officers at and above the division level and the formulation of military budgets.
In addition, the list of members of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang and the responsible persons of the various party departments should also be reconsidered, and your presidium should discuss it. This is the first test of your ability to govern, and I hope you will not let me down. ”
