246 All the way to the west, the secret that I don't know
Hearing the persuasion of the guards at the gate, Zhang Huzi shook his head again and again, but when he thought about it, he could only talk to such a character now, and immediately said angrily: "Someone framed me, I want to see Xu Shichang." Seeing a generation of heroes and dragons trapped in the shallows, Wang Youlin sighed and persuaded: "General, don't worry, things will be clear, you can report the situation to President Xu." Zhang Huzi, who had no way to retreat, finally nodded helplessly, stabilized his feelings a little, and went back to write a letter.
A few days later, Zhang Huzi sent a telegram to the whole country, expressing his obedience to all the commands of the Jixian government. He handed over military power and served as deputy army chief in the cabinet.
For two months after returning from Siberia, Zhao Yun stayed in the county town of Yixing in the south of the Yangtze River. Anyway, the Western Expeditionary Army in Siberia is still absorbing various White Russians and building shelves, and Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang are also pinching the top with three fingers to deal with those warlords in the southwest. Even if you go back, you can't help much, so it's better to live in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River first, firstly, to avoid wasting time running back and forth, and secondly, to use the unique climate of the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with Siberia, where the north wind is blowing, the small town in the south of the Yangtze River is like being put in a greenhouse, which is too nourishing. Yixing, a small county town after Zhao Yun several years of care, although the city is small, but the city has all kinds of facilities, you can buy what you want, and if you don't have it for the time being, you can also send a plane to Shanghai, Nanjing to purchase, in Zhao Yun's own words, "there is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", it is really not blowing.
Zhao Yun's small life is extremely nourishing, and the only thing that is unhappy is that there is still no progress in the negotiations of the "Luda". This time, the Japanese did not know why, but in the face of the big stick of "economic sanctions" wielded by China, they still turned a blind eye to Huaxia's request for negotiations, as if they were ready for war. And Huaxia seems to have no action except shouting slogans and demonstrations, only the high-level leaders of Jixian County, who know the details, are full of worries about the upcoming Sino-Japanese battle.
At the same time, they were full of indignation against Soviet Russia, and ninety percent of the people in the northern and southern governments were opposed to fighting against Soviet Russia, believing that they should devote their national strength to dealing with Japan at the moment, and should not make enemies on both sides, and even provided supplies to White Russia, the enemy of Soviet Russia, and even complained about it.
However, the arrival of Zhang Huzi also brought a lot of exciting news, which made the real high-level in China realize the true face of Soviet Russia.
After World War I, the Chinese people who wanted to improve their international image and regain the concessions were treated unfairly at the Paris Peace Conference, and they were questioning the "Fourteen Points" of US President Wilson, the "first good man in the world", such as "justice triumphs over might" and "national self-determination." The Russian government, which had just stabilized its regime, seized this historical opportunity and issued the "Galakhan Declaration" to China, which declared that the Russian government was willing to return to the Chinese people "all the things that the tsarist government had plundered independently from the Chinese people or that had been plundered together with the Japanese and the Entente countries": the return of the China Eastern Railway, all concessions to the mines, forests, gold mines, and other industries free of charge; Waiver of Gengzi indemnity; "Abolish a qiē privilege"; Waiver of consular jurisdiction, etc.
On September 27, 1920, after the Jixian County Government of the Republic of China was indifferent, a similar statement was issued for the second time, and once again declared:
The treaties concluded between the successive Russian governments and China were null and void, giving up the territory of China and the Russian concession in China, and returning to China forever and without compensation.
It can be said that upon hearing this news, all the Chinese people could not feel disgusted with this new government, especially after comparing it with the "Paris Peace Conference," which felt very "wonderful."
However, Zhang Huzi got different information, because in 1922, Siberia had basically fallen into the hands of White Russia, and in order to negotiate with the Jixian government, the representatives of Soviet Russia could only choose to reach Tianjin by sea and then go to Jixian. But the Belarusian people were not stupid, they had long been waiting in Tianjin, even Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and after the Soviet Russian representatives got the news, they chose another dangerous path. Bought Japanese merchants, pretended to be returning White Russian nobles, went ashore from Vladivostok, and then passed through the three eastern provinces and entered Jixian County.
If it weren't for Zhang Huzi setting up a card in 1922 to check the internal spies, and coincidentally found out these "spies" with high noses and blue eyes, no matter how smart Zhao Yun was, he would never have imagined that the Soviet Russian government was so ill-intentioned, doing the work of repairing plank roads in the open and Chen Cang in the dark. Swallowing Mongolia is only the first step, the next step is to swallow Western Xinjiang, then Tibet, to surround China in three directions, northeast and west, and then choose the opportunity to eat. At this time, Soviet Russia had just stabilized the situation, and it was already planning the trend of encroachment, which was really frightening.
After receiving this secret instruction from Soviet Russia to the Soviet Russian representative in China, who was negotiating with the Jixian government, Zhao Yun no longer had the last bit of guilt in his heart about carrying out the "hamster operation".
The August 1922 directive read: "It is impermissible to draw direct instructions from the General Declaration of 1919-1920 in negotiations with Huaxia." In this sentence, it has been proved that Soviet Russia is trying to delay time at all, as long as China and Belarus turn their faces, then it can involve a lot of energy and soldiers in Belarus, and it will not be able to march westward. The negotiation is a clear move, and there is another trick in the secret, the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Army, which is still surviving, still retains the signboard of the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Republic, but the area under its jurisdiction is no longer comparable to before, but after receiving the order, it began to move around again.
The Far East Secretariat first found the Jixian County Government, but the "Three Kings" naturally refused. After being rejected, he was referred to find Wu Peifu in the south and Feng Yu who was depressed, the former still refused, and the latter was hesitant for a while, but seeing that the south had been unified and the north was also sharpening its knives, he finally chose to hibernate. In the middle, I also found Chen Jiongming, who firmly believed in the autonomy of the United Provinces, but the result was naturally that the Tao was different and did not conspire with each other. After that, they went to the liaison stations in Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places, and found Sun Cannon, who was preparing to raise troops again, but Sun Cannon's "energy" was already the weakest. Jiangnan is Zhao Yun's base camp, and Zhu Xi, known as one of the "Three Kings" in the south, has never moved his team. Therefore, as soon as Soviet Russia made some signs on the territory of southern Jiangsu, it was snuffed out by Zhu Xi and his gang.
The Soviet Russian army was in a panic in the face of the increasingly large western expeditionary army, the Japanese were pinned down in the Far East, and the other side was at war with the Chinese people, and the internal strife was endless, but the weakest of the three Huaxia, seemed to be divided into two governments, the north and the south, but the troops did not move, the water did not sound, and the head was bored.
But good days always pass quickly, one morning in March, Zhao Yun got up early rarely, made a reply to the important text reported yesterday, and handed it to Shao Lao Er, who was eating breakfast there while thinking about what to eat at noon today, when Farrell Tucker, the head of the European part, came to the door.
Opened the video conversation carried by the camp, "Good morning, master......" Farel Tucker respectfully performed a European standard aristocratic etiquette to Zhao Yun.
"Good morning, Farrell Tucker, will I do your business well?"
"It's almost done, master, do you need to hear my report now?"
"Well, let's listen to it...... Zhao Yun took a bite of tofu flowers, chewed a mouthful of fritters and said vaguely.
"Master, you asked me to divide and disintegrate the Wrangel White Army in the Far East, so I went to find out the composition of this army. Wrangel's White Russian Army, in fact, was a White Guard wandering in Europe, on the shores of the Black Sea and the Don River valley in the south, when the Russian Empire was dissolved, many high-ranking generals under the Tsar and Kerensky fled here when Ukraine became independent. Its troops consisted mainly of Cossack cavalry. Their chief, Wrangel, was a member of an old German family of barons. In 1910 he graduated from the Russian Academy of General Staff. In 1902, he joined the Russian army. He participated in the Russo-Japanese War and the World War, and served as a cavalry commander. Russia fled to the Crimea after the October Socialist Revolution. In August 1918, he participated in the "Volunteer Army" formed by Denikin, and successively served as the commander of the cavalry division, the commander of the army, the commander of the White Guards in the Caucasus, and the commander of the "Volunteer Army". Due to a power struggle with Denikin, he was expelled from the country. ”
"Well, go on......" Zhao Yun nodded, Wrangel was mentioned in the previous Far East intelligence. At that time, Zhao Yun also instructed Farel Tucker to "control zhì", and his direct officers Kutebov and Miller.
I have heard that Wrangel did not give up access to power, and in April 1920 Denikin became commander-in-chief of the "South Russian Armed Forces" with the support of the Entente, and established a landlord-bourgeois military dictatorship in the regions where he entrenched. He led the White Guards from the Don River to the south and north, invaded Moscow in a big way, and almost captured Moscow, but was defeated by the Red Army in October~November. After the failure of the attack on Moscow and the crushing of the White Guards in the North Caucasus, Deng led his troops to retreat into the Crimean Peninsula, and Wrangel replaced Denikin as commander-in-chief of the Crimean "Russian army" under the pretext that Denikin needed to recuperate. In order to buy hearts and minds, Wrangel allowed his troops to rob openly**, allowing soldiers to "evenly distribute" the proceeds of robbery. He also often brought captives to their companions for execution, and then gave those who had witnessed the killing to choose between joining the White Guards and being executed. On November 28, 1920, the Russian Red Army launched a general offensive on the Crimean Peninsula, the "old nest" of Wrangel's White Guards. In just a week, Wrangel's troops were forced to the Bay of Feodosia on the shores of the Black Sea. Under the escort of the Entente fleet, Wrangel led 145,000 White Guards and their families to flee Turkey en masse by boat....... "Falel Tucker is worthy of being a monk, belonging to the kind of person who is very talented in storytelling.
In Farrel Tucker's subdued and frustrated narration, Zhao Yun gradually gained a deeper understanding of the difficulty of destroying the country of Tsarist Russia.
It is said that after Wrangel fled, he established the "Russian Military Alliance" in Paris, France, and ordered all White Russians to keep their weapons and be ready to counterattack Soviet Russia at any time. So for Soviet Russia, Wrangel was the most dangerous enemy abroad.
