Chapter 471: Unification of the country (4)
In the ninth year of the Republic of China, on January 15, 1920, a secret meeting was held in the Nanjing Office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the former Qing Dynasty Jiangsu Weaving House.
Wang Zhenyu summoned Yang Wangui and Hao Bing, the heads of the military police and security, to Nanjing, so the meeting was actually attended by only five people, Wang Zhenyu, Zhao Hengti, Yang Wangui, Hao Bing, and Wang Yaqiao, deputy director of the State Security Bureau and head of the Jiangnan Station.
Wang Yaqiao, who currently holds the rank of lieutenant general, sent a dozen documents to Wang Zhenyu at the beginning of the meeting and whispered: "Marshal, this is the evidence of collusion between the top level of the Kuomintang and the Japanese collected by the Jiangnan Station of the National Security Bureau. The time, the place, and the people are all clear. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yaqiao is very proud, the efficiency of the intelligence network he leads is the first in the national security system, but the shortcomings are also obvious, he uses everyone in the three religions and nine streams.
Wang Zhenyu flipped through it casually, didn't say anything, playing politics to his level, whether there is evidence or not, whether it is true or not, whether it is true or not, is actually meaningless, it is something that will appear according to needs. There was only one thing he had to consider, the possible consequences of taking measures against the Kuomintang on his own.
Sun Wen can represent the Kuomintang, but the Kuomintang is not equal to Sun Wen. Over the past 20 years, almost all the anti-Manchu and ** revolutionary factions have been inextricably linked with the Kuomintang, and even within the Youth Army, there are seven or eight out of ten people who have ties with the Kuomintang. In other words, if, according to the original idea, Wang Zhenyu gave an order and uprooted the Kuomintang by force, then it is very likely that many people under his command will have sympathy for the Kuomintang.
So Wang Zhenyu was not in a hurry to make a decision, he leaned back in his chair and did not speak.
Zhao Hengti seemed to see the contradiction in Wang Zhenyu's heart, and he asked tentatively: "Wen Zheng, I'm afraid it's still inappropriate for us to arrest all the Kuomintang, it is easy to be understood as a military coup, I see if we can reduce the first evil and threaten not to be investigated!" ”
Wang Zhenyu thought about it and nodded: "This idea is okay, I don't know how Lao Yang and Lao Hao are here?" After all, the first evil is not very easy to deal with. ”
Yang Wangui and Hao Bing glanced at each other, and then Yang Wangui spoke: "We have studied with Deputy Director Wang for three days, and there are roughly two plans, one is to create an accident, end the target's life, and let him preserve his reputation; the second is to disarm the National Government Guard, which is then subject to arrests by the gendarmerie; The third is the arrest carried out by the National Government Guard. ”
Wang Zhenyu thought for a while and said, "You have studied this for three days, don't the second and third articles contradict each other?" And if you create an accident, will there be bad consequences, have you considered it? But it's not impossible to think about it, but I don't know what kind of accident can take care of everyone's face and make this cancer disappear? ”
There was silence in the room for a while, Sun Wen's identity is indeed too embarrassing, if you don't clean up and continue, let it go on is not good for the construction of the new federation, and it is not good for everyone to clean up, it was the traitor who led you back then, what are you who were led by the traitor. So not only Wang Zhenyu, but many of the generals involved in this plan hope to give Sun Wen an honorary death, and the rest will not be pursued.
Wang Zhenyu shook his head: "It's not proper, it's not proper, Sun Wen is going to die or die at this time, you think about it again, the arrest operation is still with the National Government Guards, in addition, remove Sun Wen from the arrest list, I hope that after a series of arrests, he will take the initiative to resign as chairman of the National Government, and it is best to remove the post of Kuomintang leader at the same time, this matter will be implemented by you, and the specific matters will be arranged by Secretary General Zhao, just don't make mistakes, this time I don't want anyone to escape to Japan." ”
Zhao Hengti, Yang Wangui, Hao Bing, and Wang Yaqiao immediately got up to ensure the completion of the task. After Wang Yaqiao motioned for the four of them to retreat, he had to worry about another very important matter.
Since the establishment of the Chinese Federation is the establishment of the Federal Republic of China, the post of Federal President must be established. It's not that I'm not interested in being the president, but I'm very interested, but first, he's too young, and second, it's not easy to be the first president of this transitional period! After thinking about it, Wang Zhenyu didn't come up with an idea.
In addition, the national flag, the national emblem, the national anthem, government agencies, and the composition of the personnel all need to be worried.
Wang Zhenyu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that he didn't want to, he thought about everything by himself, so what did he do with such a big group of people? Take a shower and sleep.
On the morning of 17 January, Wang Jingwei's hair was combed very shiny and went out, although he lost his post as a government minister because of the assassination of Wang Zhenyu, but then relying on Sun Wen's trust, he continued to serve as secretary of the Secretariat of the Kuomintang and belonged to the Central Standing Committee. Therefore, he had a part in the preparations for the establishment of the new federation this time, and after he went out, he asked the driver to drive to the Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters in Nanjing, and the Kuomintang side's plan for the new federation had already entered the end of the discussion, and it was about to be finalized today, and it was a matter of the future, so Wang Jingwei naturally wanted to take an active part in it.
The morning meeting went very smoothly, and Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai, two guys who had always disagreed with each other, reached a rare agreement. The KMT's top brass unanimously agreed that it would play the role of Wang Zhenyu's opponent in the future, and that the KMT would have to shift its energy from the central to the local authorities and win elections in a number of provinces and cities, so as to lay the foundation for the future general elections to win the central government in one fell swoop. Wang Zhenyu is obviously influenced by the common law system, and actually intends to realize a parallel system of the central and provincial and municipal governments in civil affairs, elections, and tax issues.
According to this assumption, there will be three types of taxes in the future: central special tax, federal general tax, and local self-taxation. At the administrative level, it will also be divided into three levels: central, provincial and municipal (county). Taxes will also be distributed proportionally, in other words, the local government will have its own city council, provincial council, very **. Therefore, the top level of the Kuomintang immediately made adjustments in light of this situation, and it was necessary to focus its work on the localities in the future.
Wang Jingwei is not interested in this, in his opinion, no matter how much he tosses, the power of the local government cannot be greater than that of the central government, and what the KMT should really do now is to go all out to help Mr. Sun Wen complete the transition from the chairman of the national government to the first president of the federation, and because of Wang Zhenyu's age, it is easy to do this. Here is another talk about the future federal election system, Wang Zhenyu is obviously influenced by the Anglo-American system, people play the electoral system, that is to say, to support one person, this person is running for the top executive, and after being elected, he will naturally appoint his cronies to be in charge of various departments. In this way, the administrative officer and the administrative officer were completely separated, similar to the ancient officials and officials. The difference is only at the level of officials, no longer the designated system like the underworld boss, but the election system, Wang Jingwei firmly believes that under this system, the Kuomintang people who have seen the world will definitely have an advantage over feudal warlords like Wang Zhenyu.
Feudal warlords? In the face of power, the top echelons of the Kuomintang have long forgotten the fact that Wang Zhenyu's uncle and nephew were born in the League, and whoever hinders them from gaining power is ***.
The discussion didn't end until about one o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone had their own things to do in the afternoon, so they said goodbye one after another. Wang Jingwei planned to go to see Zhang Taiyan in the afternoon, because the Kuomintang's current forces are mainly concentrated in the Liangguang and Fujian regions, while Zhang Taiyan is still influential in the southeastern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. To deal with Wang Zhenyu, how can there be no Liberation Society? What's more, Wang Zhenyu suddenly attacked the Guangfu Society in order to form a new national government, but this feud seems to be nothing compared to the assassination of Tao Chengzhang by the Alliance, and it is a bit scratching his head when he thinks about it.
Wang Jingwei was about to get up and leave with Hu Hanmin, when suddenly a young man with a blank face shouted cordially: "May I ask if you are Mr. Wang Zhaoming Wang, who assassinated the regent?" I'm newly transferred to the party department, and I didn't think I'd really see a hero like you after hearing about it for a long time......"
Wang Jingwei didn't care about him, he was just a new party member, so he naturally let Hu Zhantang go first, and then chatted with the new party member for a while, encouraged him to work hard, and then walked out of the central party headquarters with his official bag. Then he didn't pay much attention and got into his own car, and after the car drove out of the party headquarters, Wang Jingwei suddenly found that the driver was not his driver. As soon as he felt that something was wrong, the driver with a raw face hit the steering wheel, and the car turned into the alley on the side of the main road, Wang Jingwei immediately understood that something was wrong, and he immediately pushed the car door and jumped out. The body is quite athletic, and he will stand firm as soon as he rolls with the trend. He didn't run away, though, because a dozen pistols were pointed at him. After a closer look, these people were actually military police, and a young lieutenant colonel officer showed a lazy smile: "Mr. Wang is good, let's go to the gendarmerie headquarters for a cup of tea, how about it?" ”
On the same day, at least 24 high-ranking Kuomintang cadres and 138 middle-level cadres were arrested, and no one resisted. When Sun Wen got up in the afternoon, he suddenly found that his backbone strength had almost disappeared in a nap.
Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai and others were not arrested for not participating in the conspiracy to cooperate with Japan, and Wang Zhenyu finally did not decide to make the Kuomintang history
