Chapter 10 Vertical and Horizontal Fighting
Things came to a situation that He Yingqin couldn't control himself, and at this time, He Yingqin also had to admit that he was born in this era and was destined to become a supporting role, because except for Chiang Kai-shek, no one could control this government at all.
The pledge meeting that he was preparing to implement suddenly was messed up by Liu Yuan, and he didn't have the courage to participate in it, and he walked in a gray way. This can be said to be a huge shame for He Yingqin.
So since he came back from the oath meeting, He Yingqin has been in a state of suffering from gains and losses, and now all he thinks about is what to do after Chiang Kai-shek's death and what to do if Chiang Kai-shek does not die. He originally thought that he would not be able to control the Nanjing government by himself, but with the support of Wang Jingwei, it was easy to say anything.
But he really thinks highly of Wang Jingwei, with the further expansion of Chiang Kai-shek's power, Wang Jingwei's influence is getting smaller and smaller, and this time although Wang Jingwei supported himself at the Central Committee meeting, he has not taken actual action, which makes He Yingqin very uncomfortable.
There is also today's incident, he didn't stand up and support He Jinhan, which made the alliance between the two very poor, especially Liu Yuan slapped He Jinhan's face at the oath meeting, which was definitely a huge blow to He Jinhan, He Yingqin didn't even have to think about it, now He Jinhan must be scolding himself in secret.
None of this is the saddest, Xue Yue's Central Army, Yang Yongtai's Xinchuan Army, and the Southwest Army of the Southwest Special Administrative Region have all made public statements in support of Soong Meiling's negotiation in Xi'an. And Yu Jishi, who originally received his own order to advance, and other old students of the first phase of Huangpu didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, and stopped moving forward halfway through.
Song Meiling left, and took Kong Xiangxi away, and now it is Song Ziwen who is organizing the financial work in the central government, and the ghosts know that Song Ziwen is temporarily helping Kong Xiangxi to organize the work, and he asked him for money, but he didn't have a penny.
I looked for it several times, and at first Song Ziwen talked to him well, but later he was cheeky to ask for money, and Zhang Jingjiang spat at him fiercely. Song Ziwen contacted the rich businessmen who supported him, hoping that they would make political contributions, but the real consortiums all supported Chiang Kai-shek, and he didn't want a penny.
At this time, He Yingqin felt that Liu Yuan was really terrible, and when he was shouting to suppress bandits at the meeting, he had already cut off his military and financial rights. Let yourself become a tiger with only one mouth left.
The United States and Germany openly supported Chiang Kai-shek and hoped that the central government would negotiate, but Britain did not say anything about what it seemed to be preparing in Tibet this time, and Japan was also in full swing in the northeast and did not say a word about this incident at all.
But the attitude of the Japanese was very clear, they did not want Chiang Kai-shek to return to China like this, and they would send troops at a critical time.
Although He Yingqin himself was weak, he was not a person willing to be a traitor, and he believed that although Liu Yuan commanded the Northeast Army and the Central Army to fight against the Japanese, he won a great victory.
On the whole, the gap between China and Japan is still very large, otherwise there would not be a situation where the troops did not have artillery shells, although the most rearly relied on aircraft raids, so that the Japanese army's supporting navy was completely annihilated, but the country has no strength to fight again.
Therefore, He Yingqin did not agree with the tough attitude adopted by Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Yuan towards Japan, but he was not a traitor, and now Japan has rapidly encroached on the three northeastern provinces in these days, and almost lost all the three eastern provinces. But at this time, because of Chiang Kai-shek's affairs, the Northeast was selectively forgotten, because the Japanese did not say that they occupied the three eastern provinces at all, they only sent troops to protect the railways everywhere, and at the same time did not engage in airfield battles, because there were no troops in the Northeast at all.
At the same time, the Japanese also learned to be obedient, and did not do any propaganda from beginning to end, nor did they change the local government organization, so that many people still thought that the Northeast was under the control of the Nationalist Government.
He Yingqin originally thought that as long as he controlled Whampoa, he could lead his troops to resist Japan's continued Northern Expedition, gain reliance on his relationship with Japan, and make the Japanese give up continuing the offensive.
But all this is so unrealistic, the Central Committee has appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of the thieves, but the meeting is not over yet, Song Meiling broke in and scolded all the people who supported him, and Liu Yuan, as a member of the Central Executive Committee, did not participate in this meeting at all, so that many lords and factions have an excuse, that is, this appointment is not legal at all, so it is difficult to continue the transfer of troops.
Because Liu Yuan, the chief of staff, did not give orders to various places at all, and Liu Yuan had already announced an order before the meeting was held, and no one was allowed to move troops without the orders of the principal and the general staff.
In desperation, He Yingqin made a compromise for the first time in the Xi'an Incident, he promised Song Meiling not to launch any attack within a week, which was an excuse for Song Meiling to attack him, and at the same time to seek an opportunity to raise military funds.
Just when everything was at a loss, the guards told themselves that the chief of staff wanted to see them.
"Fuguo, this incident has really increased the face of our Whampoa soldiers." He Yingqin pulled Liu Yuan into the room, although he was very unhappy, but he had a smile on his face.
For He Yingqin, Liu Yuan is very clear, Liu Yuan knows very well that although He Yingqin cheated Chiang Kai-shek in the Xi'an Incident, but after the incident, Chiang Kai-shek thought that He Yingqin had maintained his face to a certain extent, and there was not much to pursue at all, and since then, He Yingqin's position is still on the rise.
This is Chiang Kai-shek's way of employing people, you have done things that are sorry for me, I still reuse you, trust you, and let you dedicate your life to me in guilt.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's attitude was very respectful, "Teacher, what are you talking about, the student went to Chongqing and has violated discipline." ”
He Yingqin listened to Liu Yuan's words, his face immediately darkened, he couldn't figure out why Yu Jishi and others suddenly didn't listen to the transfer, it turned out that it was all because of Liu Yuan's trip to Chongqing. "You are not small, you actually left your post without permission, I don't know that the principal of Lu Dao has always been very strict with our Whampoa soldiers?"
"That's to treat those little guys in the second and third phases, who do you think of me Liu Yuan? When the principal asked, I said that I missed my old buddy in the first phase, and the principal punished me to stand for two hours at most. Liu Yuan said with a smile.
"You guy," He Yingqin shook his head and said, "It's all the principal who spoils you and cultivates your proud temperament, which is not a good thing, let's say, my chief of staff, what's the matter." ”
"The students are here to persuade the teacher, after all, the students have been favored by you many times back then, and they can't see the teacher walk into the abyss." Liu Yuan didn't want to hide anything, so he said bluntly to He Yingqin.
He Yingqin looked at Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan's eyes were very respectful, there was no winner in the political struggle at all, that kind of joy, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. Thinking of this, the anger gathered in He Yingqin's heart disappeared.
Tell me your opinion, He Yingqin nodded and said, no matter what, since he promised Song Meiling to negotiate on behalf of the Central Committee, he has already begun to compromise on behalf of himself, and he is also looking for a way out for himself, which He Yingqin understands better than anyone else, and it is also a smart place as a politician.
"In the direction of Xi'an, there are Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and 30,000 Red Party troops, if our teachers go on an expedition and they rely on the ground to fight, they have too many advantages over us, and the Red Party and Zhang Xueliang came together because of the Xi'an Incident, but in the final analysis, the strength of the representatives of the two sides is different, if we don't force them, they will slowly separate, and if our Central Army desperately presses, it will be unfavorable to them.
And how many troops can the teacher command now, I don't think it will exceed 100,000. These troops couldn't take Xi'an, so the students persuaded the teacher to let go.
Liu Yuan's words were very sincere. But He Yingqin still shook his head, and now that the arrow is on the bow, he has to send it.
"I have mobilized more than a million troops, which is enough to deal with the county, so you don't have to bother." He Yingqin is very clear. If Liu Yuan had raised these things at the Central Committee meeting, he would definitely have chosen to detain him, but he didn't say it, but chose to do it, and now many troops have been mobilized.
Seeing He Yingqin's stubborn appearance, Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "Why should the instructor bother? How many of your million-strong troops are still on the march? Hu Zongnan has stopped, Yu Jishi doesn't understand at all, Qiu Qingquan They estimate that you can't even contact the radio, and now, can you take out a penny for military expenses? The Japanese are not good proprietors, pointing at them to pay money, there is not much hope, and although the central government has been concealing it, at least one province in the northeast has been encroached upon, and I think it won't be hidden for long. ”
He Yingqin sat on the chair tiredly, since Liu Yuan dared to say this to himself, so it showed that the main central forces he had mobilized had fallen to him, so it was a good trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
Seeing that He Yingqin had been shaken, Liu Yuan continued, "The teacher doesn't have to be discouraged, this crusade still has to be carried out, otherwise Xi'an will think that we are too weak and ask for a price." Therefore, we must fight for peace."
"To promote peace with war, to promote peace with war, in the final analysis, we still have to negotiate with them, and the majesty of the central authorities will not exist." He Yingqin objected.
"As long as the principal returns, we can immediately dispose of Zhang Xueliang and incorporate the Red Party's troops, so that the dignity of the principal will continue to exist."
"Absorb the Red Party, will they be co-opted by us?" He Yingqin looked at Liu Yuan puzzled.
"The Japanese made a move on the Northeast again, and Zhang Xueliang issued an order of non-resistance to the troops left behind, and it was even publicized that it was the principal who said that this guy had not learned anything else, and he had learned to pit people by then. However, the Japanese invasion of Northeast China gave us an opportunity, that is, the contradictions between the Chinese nation and the Japanese rose again, and the Red Party had to unite with us again. ”
He Yingqin was silent for a long time, and even smoked a cigarette at the end, he knew that most of his plans had been hit by Liu Yuan's laughter, but now that the matter has come to an end, he can only compromise.
"The crusade in Xi'an needs a batch of supplies." He Yingqin's face was very ugly, it was a joke to say, he didn't even have supplies and was actually mentioning the bandits.
"I'm sorry, teacher, you know that I am helping the Central Army to form elite troops, 300,000 elite troops, and I have no money." Liu Yuan said with a smile. At this time, He Yingqin reflected that he thought that Liu Yuan had no direct troops, but under Liu Yuan's hands, there was an elite army, more than 300,000 troops, and he didn't know about this matter until now.
Seeing He Yingqin's disbelieving expression, Liu Yuan said lightly, "All the officers who participated in the formation of the unit have signed the confidentiality regulations, and only a few people such as me and the principal know about it. ”
He Yingqin secretly scolded in his heart, these two masters and apprentices are not good people, they are both foxes. He Yingqin estimated that this unit would definitely be used to fight against Japan.
