The 203rd Middle Road War IV A misunderstanding
Probably after rubbing mahjong all night, Zhang Zuolin looked a little tired at the moment, and his voice became a little hoarse, he looked at Yang Yuting and said slowly: "Neighbor Ge, do you think it will be that the Japanese are dissatisfied with our attitude on the issue of Mongolian independence?" So you want someone else to replace us? β
Yang Yuting was stunned: "Others? Who could it be? Could it be Wu Ziyu? He shook his head and said, "Unlikely, right?" He is much tougher than us on foreign issues, the military song marshal of "Looking North at Manchuria" knows, right? If this patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces is given to him, he will have to take back the Kanto Prefecture, right? β
Zhang Zuolin smiled coldly: "Neighbor Ge, although you are a think tank in our army, and you are a good hand at managing the military and politics, you still don't have enough control over people's hearts!" Those superficial high-profile are not the misunderstandings of the 203rd Middle Road War, even if he Wu Peifu has the intention to recover the Kwantung Prefecture, what can he do? Don't you and I have this in mind? The question is whether it can be done and whether it has the strength...... There is also the shape of shΓ¬ forced! The shape of Wu Peifu and the shape of Beiyang are all obvious...... That's a dead end! There is no way out for him Wu Peifu to stay in the Central Plains, and only by going out can he create a new situation! For the sake of this new situation, what promises can not be made to the Japanese? β
Being analyzed by Zhang Zuolin like this, Yang Yuting also became nervous, he gasped, looked at Zhang Dashuai and said, "Dashuai, what should we do?" If the Japanese want to join forces with Wu Peifu and Wang Tingzhen, our little strength will not be able to bear it! Saying that, he suddenly gritted his teeth: "Why don't we consider taking refuge in Sun Dacang?" He has promised you a vice chairman of the National Government and commander of the security of the three eastern provinces! β
"This ......" Zhang Zuolin stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back. The two upside-down eyebrows were also twisted together. A "fake Beiyang" like him has no feelings for the Beiyang system, and in his opinion, there is no difference between defecting to Sun Yat-sen and defecting to Beiyang. He was not unmoved by the conditions of the misunderstanding of the 203rd Middle East Road War brought by Sun Ke, but it was not in his original plan to change his name and take refuge immediately. Although the situation in Beiyang is indeed a bit unavoidable, Sun Yat-sen's forces are still far away in Fujian and Guangdong, and now they seem to be planning to attack Guangxi, and possibly Yunnan and Guizhou...... But it's still far from Beijing! At least for the next few years. Fengjun still has to be in the company of the behemoth of Beiyang. Although this behemoth can't clean up Sun Yat-sen's National Revolutionary Army, isn't it a matter of every second to bulldoze the Feng Army?
But now, it seems that there are already people in Beiyang who have the idea of fighting the Northeast! The two divisions of Wu Peifu and Wang Tingzhen are about to go to the northeast...... And if you come, you won't go again! If you count the "hairpin general" Meng Enyuan in Beiyang (because he picked up the hairpin dropped by the Queen Mother of the West and became the standard). Beiyang has three divisions outside the pass, one of which is said to be the most capable third division in Beiyang, with the 27th, 28th and 29th divisions of the Feng army. It's no match for others! What's even more troublesome is that Japan's attitude is also a bit intriguing!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ooze a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a long sigh: "With Sun Yat-sen's support, the pressure on Beiyang may be able to offset somewhat, but what about the Japanese?" What are the Japanese up to date with? β
Yang Yuting snorted coldly: "Dashuai, no matter what the Japanese have in mind, we can't sit still!" Even if you want to lose, you will lose vigorously! β
Zhang Zuolin stopped and turned his head to look at Yang Yuting. Yang Yuting's face was pale, and he said eloquently: "After all, the northeast is the territory of our Chinese!" I don't think the Japanese would have dared to occupy it openly, otherwise they wouldn't have had to make so many small moves...... So we still have to deal with Beiyang! And the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army is like this. It's good to be stronger than our Feng army, but it doesn't have an overwhelming advantage. We are inferior to others in field warfare, but if the main forces of the 27th and 28th divisions are shrunk to Mukden, and we rely on the strong city to defend it, we may not be able to support the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army! Even if you lose in the end. We can be regarded as holding back their main force in Beiyang, and in the future, Sun Cannon will win the world, and he will always treat the marshal as a prince, right? β
Zhang Zuolin looked at this think tank who gave him random ideas, and nodded heavily: "Yes!" Neighbor, you have a point! Whether it's Beiyang or Japanese devils, don't think about taking this Fengtian City away from Lao Tzu! "Speaking of which. He seemed to feel a little weak-hearted, and added: "Neighbor Ge, you go to the Japanese Consulate General again and tell SΓΉ Yada, just say that I, Zhang Zuolin, am very moved by Sun Yat-sen's conditions for wooing, and I am ready to lead Liaoning and Heilongjiang to change banners as soon as there is any trouble!" Ask them what the Japanese have to say? β
β¦β¦
Of course, the Japanese were taken aback by Zhang Zuolin's strange idea that he wanted to lead the territory of the two provinces, and that tens of thousands of Fengjun would change banners and take refuge with Sun Yat-sen. In fact, it was not only the Japanese who were surprised, even Sun Yat-sen, who gave Zhang Zuolin the price code of the Northeast Security Commander and Vice Chairman of the Nationalist Government, was also stunned by Zhang Zuolin's reply! Although the other party also added the words "waiting for the opportunity" to the reply, it still made our Sun Da revolutionary feel overjoyed.
After receiving the secret telegram from Sun Ke, Sun Yat-sen immediately convened a special meeting of the Military Commission and reported the great news to the members of the Military Commission. The expressions on the faces of the members of the Central Military Commission after hearing the news were all surprised and surprised.
Sun Yat-sen said to everyone with a disdainful face: "Everyone, it seems that Beiyang's current square inch has been completely messed up, and even a faint move!" Transferred two central elite divisions out of the customs to deal with the Red Brigade, hehe, do you really think that everyone else is a fool? Can't see their plot? Now it's okay, Zhang Yuting has seen through their tricks and is ready to stand on the side of the revolutionary team! Our revolutionary cause looks like it will soon be victorious! β
Of course, Sun Yat-sen's complexion today is surprisingly good, and he is full of anger when he speaks, and he really can't see that he hasn't lived for a few years!
Chang Ruiqing heard the news, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He has been busy with the affairs of the Western Expedition during this time, and the hundreds of thousands of recruits have now been replenished into the army. The Western Expeditionary Army has also been formed, with three armies and nine divisions, a total of 150,000 troops!
The plan for the western expedition was also done, and the 150,000 troops were divided into two routes, and he and Bai Chongxi, Xu Tingyao, Zhang Zhizhong and others commanded the second army and the fourth army to form the North Route Army, and marched west along the Xixi River; The Third Army formed the Southern Route Army alone, commanded by Deng Keng, the commander of the Third Army, and marched north from Qinzhou, Guangdong, to threaten Nanning in order to attract the main force of the Gui Army. So that the Northern Route Army can more easily sweep Guidong and Guibei. In the end, the armies of the north and south met under the city of Nanning, surrounded Lu Rongting's Gui army in the city, and besieged but did not attack. In order to attract reinforcements sent by Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to the decisive battle under the city of Nanning.
At the same time, Lan Tianwei has also brought a huge amount of money to western Hubei to gather troops inclined to the national government. Mainly the former Central Ninth Division (Li Tiancai Division) and the Western Hubei People's Army (many of them are students and old ones of Lan Tianwei). These troops will temporarily abandon their base areas in the mountainous areas of western Hubei and move westward. In the name of aiding Xiong and Tang, he attacked the Dian army and the Guizhou army, and Sun Yat-sen would also send his henchman Xie Zhi to Chengdu with a letter of appointment appointing Xiong Kewu as the overseer and governor of Sichuan to persuade Xiong Kewu to raise troops to drive out the Tang. In addition, Gu Pinzhen of the Yunnan Army (Cai Yi's cronies, Comrade Zhu D's boss) and Wang Wenhua (He Yingqin's brother-in-law) of the Guizhou Army also arranged lobbyists to win over. If nothing else, after the collapse of the Gui army, the two armies of Yunnan and Guizhou will soon fall apart under internal and external attacks, and the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou will naturally be owned by the Nationalist Government.
But now, the big cake in the southwest has not yet entered the mouth, and the potato in the northeast, which is only a little hot, has been sent up by itself. Should the Nationalist Government take a bite or ignore it? What about giving up this great opportunity?
"Mr. Sun, General Wu Peifu, who was sent out by Beiyang this time, is actually a secret member of our party and a believer of Mr. Sun. Our Party believes that allowing General Wu to seize the territory of a province in the northeast is very beneficial to the cause of the national revolution. Can we mediate the conflict between Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin? Let them work together for the national revolution? β
It was Chen Duxiu, the premier of the Nationalist Government, who was very busy these days for the land reform in Guangdong, the expansion of the National Revolutionary Army, and the mediation of the Sino-Russian (Soviet-Russian) alliance, and he was often absent from meetings of the Military Commission. If he hadn't heard that great news would be announced at today's meeting, he wouldn't have attended. I didn't expect Sun Yat-sen to say this great news. It was actually because of Wu Peifu and their exit from the customs that Zhang Zuolin, the emperor of the Northeast Soil, started to take refuge in the National Government! But Wu Peifu is already a secret party member of the Central G, and now Zhang Zuolin also wants to join the revolution, so aren't they revolutionary comrades? And these two revolutionary comrades seem to be trying to kill each other in order to grab territory, and this time things are really chaotic enough.
Sun Yat-sen snorted, smiled and nodded: "It seems that there is such a thing, hehe, there are still many revolutionary comrades in our country!" He glanced at Chang Ruiqing, who lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he was contemplative: "Comrade Yaoru, what do you think?" How should we mediate the conflict between Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu? β
Chang Ruiqing shook his head when he heard this: "Abnormal, too abnormal...... How could Beiyang send two divisions to deal with the Red Brigade of a few thousand men? If you send out one more division, you will need to pay millions more soldiers! And the defense of Kannai will also be even more empty. In addition, the Japanese are also abnormal, why would they agree to so many Beiyang troops entering the Northeast? Wu Peifu should have no friendship with them, and it is impossible for the Japanese to support Wu Peifu's position as an overseer and governor in the Northeast for no reason, right? They should support Zhang Zuolin now! β
He clearly remembered that this period in history was the honeymoon period of "Japan-Zhang cooperation"! It was with the support of the Japanese that Zhang Zuolin defeated Meng Enyuan, the overseer of Jilin, to unify the three eastern provinces! How did it become that the Japanese and Wu Peifu cooperated to deal with Zhang Zuolin now? And that Wu Peifu's bones are so hard, can the Japanese not get the benefits from Zhang Zuolin, can they still get from Wu Peifu? There's really no reason for the Japanese to do that?
Sun Yat-sen listened to Chang Ruiqing's answer, frowned slightly, and then set his eyes on Jiang J Shi: "Comrade J Shi, what do you think?" β
Jiang Jishi's brows were also tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking hard: "Sir, the key now is not to mediate the contradiction between Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin, because neither of them really joined the revolution. We'd better take advantage of the contradictions between them and send our troops to the northeast! In this way, we can rely on our revolutionary army and integrate the two armies of Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu. and even the entire Northeast, and finally firmly control the Northeast in your hands! β
Sun Yat-sen shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" β
Jiang J stood up suddenly, and looked at Sun Yat-sen with blazing eyes: "Sir, have you forgotten the "Japan-Russia Secret Treaty"? The Japanese will soon attack White Russia in the Russian Far East...... In this way, Soviet Russia should be able to win the civil war very quickly, and they want to fight Japan with us, so they will definitely support us, and the Red Army will return when the time comes. With this revolutionary force, we should have the opportunity to take the Northeast into our hands. Saying that, he snapped and said loudly to Sun Yat-sen: "My subordinates are willing to go to the Northeast to preside over the situation in person." As long as Mr. asks his subordinates to take the First Army to the Northeast, within a year, his subordinates will definitely be able to hand over the entire Northeast to Mr. β
Sun Yat-sen pondered for a moment. glanced at Chang Ruiqing again: "Yaoru, what do you think?" Can Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese agree to let our tens of thousands of National Revolutionary Army go to Liaoning? β
Chang Ruiqing still shook his head, and just when he wanted to say something, he saw Sun Yat-sen's secretary Dai Jitao hurriedly walking in, with a stern face, holding a briefcase in his hand, which was also marked with the words "top secret". He walked to Sun Yat-sen's side and whispered a few words in his ear, Sun Yat-sen frowned, and immediately opened the text folder. took out a thin telegraph newspaper, glanced at it, and said calmly: "The troops out of Beiyang are not two divisions, but four divisions!" Feng Huanzhang's 11th Division is also in the sequence of sending troops, but they are disguised as civilians and secretly go north! β
Before Sun Yat-sen's words fell, Chang Ruiqing was the first to shout: "Could it be that Beiyang is not going to deal with Zhang Zuolin." It's Tsarist Russia! They're going to take back the Eastern Railway! β
He had now vaguely guessed Beiyang's true intentions. They want to use the external system to control the interior, and use the foreign to defuse the threat of the national government to them! Now that nationalism is already very high in China, if Beiyang can recover the Russian concession in the Middle East Road and the northeast, and then sign an unequal treaty with Tsarist Russia, then they will be able to raise the banner of nationalism, and it will be difficult for the Nationalist Government to oppose them and gain the approval of the people...... At least in the eyes of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng. That's the way it is.
Chang Ruiqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since the goal of Beiyang is the Eastern Railway, then we can't go through this troubled water, even if they take the opportunity to clean up Zhang Zuolin, we can't oppose it, this is a matter of national righteousness, and every Chinese should support it......" He suppressed his voice again, Chinese Of course I want to support it, but why do the Japanese also support it?" Could it be because they intended to "betray" Tsarist Russia and unite Soviet Russia? Could it be that because the Japanese received more than 300,000 square kilometers of land from Soviet Russia, they no longer had the idea of attacking the northeast, but instead supported the Chinese central government to strengthen its power in the northeast? Such a thing, Chang Ruiqing didn't believe it even if he was killed! There must be a bigger conspiracy on the part of the Japanese!
He thought about it again, shook his head and said: "Beiyang dares to make a move against the remnants of Tsarist Russia in China, there must be Japan behind it!" They can now move troops outside the Kansai on a large scale, and it is unrealistic to do so without the support of Japan. And the Japanese must not have a good heart! Beiyang is probably going to suffer a loss this time! Don't look at the fact that Russia is now fighting a civil war, but White Russia still has the strength to defeat the four divisions of Beiyang......" As he spoke, he looked up at Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, what should we do then?" β
Sun Yat-sen smiled faintly, and just squeezed out four words from between his teeth: "Go north to resist Russia!" β
When Chang Ruiqing heard these four words, he couldn't help but think of another time and space, China's GCD's "going north to resist Japan"! Although the current national government is completely different from the situation of the Central G at that time, the idea of using the national crisis to open up the situation is exactly the same. But the northward resistance to Russia is imminent, should the westward expedition be carried out?
Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing looked at Sun Yat-sen, who had a solemn face, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to fight in the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou?" β
Sun Yat-sen said coldly: "Of course you have to fight!" And fast! Saying that, he paused again, and added: "But the means can be softer, you don't have to kill them all, you can be co-opted...... In the future, they will need to contribute to the north to resist Russia! β
Chang Ruiqing also snapped upright, gave a military salute to Sun Yat-sen, and said loudly: "My subordinates understand, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely solve the southwest problem before the start of the War of Resistance against Russia!" β
Sun Yat-sen nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. turned his gaze to Jiang J Shi again: "J Shi, you better stay in Guangzhou and make a plan to go north to resist Russia...... We must hold up this great banner of resistance against Russia! β
"My subordinates understand!" Jiang Jishi nodded heavily, and then asked, "Sir, how should we answer Zhang Yuting?" Do you want to sue him for the true intentions of Beiyang? β
Sun Yat-sen pondered for a while and shook his head slightly: "Don't sue him!" Let's just say that we will give him full support in leading the three northeastern provinces. In case Beiyang does something to him, we will send him reinforcements by sea and ask him to control Yingkou Port. βοΌοΌοΌ
