Almost everyone knows that Tang Shaoyi served as the first prime minister of the cabinet, but I'm afraid not many people know that Tang Shaoyi later served as a county magistrate, and the prime minister became a county magistrate.

"Mr. Shaochuan, there are three aspects of the Southwest Rebellion, one is military, one is economic, and the other is diplomacy, and these three are intertwined. Mr. will shoulder the burden of the three on his shoulders, first stabilize the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and then build a defense line in the direction of the plateau and Burma, and take back all the land that has been swallowed up by the British over the years, especially the so-called Makmahon Line must be abolished, and as for Jiangxinpo and other areas, it must also be taken back. ”

When Tang Shaoyi heard this, his face was also awe-inspiring, to be honest, although he agreed to go to the southwest without hesitation, he inevitably had some thoughts in his heart. After all, he and Zhang Tinglan are not closely related, and the world knows that the only person who is really suitable for the post of prime minister is Wang Yongjiang, who is just a transitional figure.

Giving him the chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee is just a good name, let him retire to the second line for retirement, but now when I hear what Zhang Tinglan means, this position is not an empty title. It is a great task to deal with the chaotic situation in the southwest, especially in the direction of the plateau and Burma.

Tang Shaoyi also hurriedly said: "Humble words, this matter is very important, I'm afraid I can't afford it alone!" ”

"Mr. Shaochuan is welcome, although it will be a little troublesome, but behind Burma and the plateau are just the British, we have already met once, if the British still want to be embarrassed, let's fight. Speaking of which, I don't believe that this kind of declining country can compete with us. As long as we grasp the situation, we can hope for a peaceful solution. If you can't fight, try not to fight, at least for three years, don't fight. ”

After Zhang Tinglan explained clearly, Tang Shaoyi also knew that the responsibility was heavy, so he immediately resigned from the post of prime minister of the cabinet and immediately went to the southwest.

Of course, the Southwest Military and Political Commission has the overall military and political power in the southwest, and can even handle some foreign affairs, just like a small government. Zhang Tinglan can't rest assured that Tang Shaoyi will be left alone. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan appointed Chang Yinhuai as the general staff member to assist Tang Shaoyi, and at the same time appointed Zhang Lan as the secretary general, and transferred Wan Fulin to Sichuan as the minister of military affairs.

Basically, there are a few of them. It can not only help Tang Shaoyi deal with government affairs, but also form constraints. And the cabinet members will also undergo a complete reshuffle. After such a long observation. Who is available and who is not, Zhang Tinglan has already seen it clearly.

At the same time, in order to balance the interests of all parties, Zhang Tinglan has already brewed a new cabinet list. Among them, the prime minister of the cabinet is undoubtedly Wang Yongjiang, Defense Minister Yang Yuting, and Foreign Minister Gu Weijun. Minister of Education Zeng Youyi, Minister of Public Security Su Liangzhen, and Governor of the Central Bank Wang Shuhan, all of whom are old people from the Feng family. In addition, a large number of non-affiliated personnel were used.

Among them, the first to bear the brunt is the Minister of Finance Cao Rulin, the famous burning of Zhao's house back then, all of a sudden nailed Cao Rulin to the pillar of shame of the traitor, carefully calculated, it is just a generation. In addition, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Cao Rulin at least kept a trace of the evening.

And the most important point is that it was also affected by the students' movements, and the use of Cao Rulin also showed Zhang Tinglan's attitude towards the student movement. In addition, the Minister of Justice handed over to Wang Chonghui, who was also a member of the first Tang Shaoyi cabinet, and after the death of Lao Yuan, he worked in Beijing for many years, and also received the reuse of Wu Peifu, and he was also a member of the Beiyang family.

arranged for these two people to enter the cabinet, obviously to take care of Lao Beiyang's emotions. In addition to them, Zhang Tinglan also appointed Chen Jiongming as Minister of Transportation, Tan Yanmin as Minister of Civil Affairs, and Wu Liande as Minister of Health.

Among these three people, Chen Jiongming and Tan Yanmin are representatives of the Southern Kuomintang and warlords, while Wu Liande is an epidemic prevention expert.

In addition, Yan Xishan and Chu Mingyuan were also reused because of their outstanding performance in the land reform, Yan Xishan was promoted to Minister of Commerce, and Chu Mingyuan was appointed Minister of Reclamation.

The general framework of the cabinet was determined, and arrangements were also made on the parliamentary side, with Liang Qichao serving as the speaker of the Senate, and Cen Chunxuan serving as the speaker of the House of Representatives.

In addition, in order to maintain the independence of the army, Zhang Tinglan set up a military committee, according to the constitution, the president is the supreme commander of the three armed forces, so Li Yuanhong's face has to be taken care of, so the chairman of the military committee is still Li Yuanhong, but the executive vice chairman fell to Zhang Tinglan's head, Sun Anhu also served as vice chairman, and Jiang Baili served as chief of general staff.

In addition, the Supreme Academy of Sciences was also established, and the first president fell to Kuang Rongguang, and a large number of experts accumulated in the three eastern provinces over the years were also selected.

After the complete reshuffle of the cabinet, the representation was wider and more efficient, and Zhang Tinglan's control over the military and government was also to the extent that water could not be spilled.

In the course of active readjustment by the central authorities, the southwest is gradually becoming stable. On this day, Jiang Baili suddenly found Zhang Tinglan, and he said with a smile: "Humble words, this is the list of some warlords in the southwest, according to Jihua, these people need to enter the National Defense University to study, and only after passing the training can they be re-appointed as officers." ”

Zhang Tinglan also took a look at the list, there are Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Pan Wenhua, Yang Sen, Long Yun, Lu Han, Wang Jialie, etc., all of them are in the history of the Republic of China, leaving names of people, Zhang Tinglan After reading it, he suddenly picked up the pen and added three more names in Zuihou, one is Wang Mingzhang, one is Fan Shaozeng, and the other is Liu Mingzhao.

Jiang Baili looked at it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, of course he didn't know that Zhang Tinglan had the memory of later generations, in Jiang Baili's opinion, this guy must have arranged a large number of lines and eyes and ears in the southwest, it is precisely because of this that the situation in the southwest is clear, and even who can use it knows clearly.

Zhang Tinglan didn't need to explain too much, he said with a smile like no one: "I can stand out in the troubled times." As long as these people are taught well, they may become the backbone of the national defense force, but they must change the habits of the old warlords, otherwise it will easily affect the atmosphere of the army. ”

"Don't worry, I'll send the toughest instructors, and I'll arrange a few Germans to make sure there won't be a problem." Jiang Baili said: "Not long ago, Feng Yuxiang sent a telegram to the field, and the troops in the northwest were leaderless, what do you think should be done?" ”

After Feng Yuxiang withdrew from Sichuan, he still wanted to continue to control the northwest, but at this time Qin Wei and Rong Zhen had already led the army westward. Lao Feng didn't have the courage to fight, but at this time, the paratroopers showed their might in southern Sichuan, and after knowing the situation, Feng Yuxiang was immediately frightened, and Zuihou didn't have the heart to compete with the national defense army at all.

He was also afraid that Zhang Tinglan would settle accounts after the autumn, so he immediately called on the field to go abroad to investigate, and to put it bluntly, he took refuge. Zhang Tinglan didn't stop him, Feng Yuxiang, this guy, was too deep, Zhang Tinglan didn't want to use him, so he could only let him go.

As for the Northwest Army, in fact, there are some good and bad, in the War of Resistance, the officers and men of the Northwest Army fought bloodily, and made great contributions, on the whole, the Northwest Army's War of Resistance was far better than that of the Central Army, which was also a very helpless scene in the history of the War of Resistance. Perhaps they all know that they carry the original sin of civil war in their bodies.

Including the Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, and the people and horses of the Gui system, all of them are like this, as for the center that is really well-equipped and the pride of the sky, it often stages a farce.

Gui Yongqing took a well-equipped 27th Army, and he fled after guarding Lanfeng for less than a day, and another Huang Jie was even more amazing, and he didn't see the shadow of the enemy army, so he also fled. Compared to the Sichuan army soldiers who died in Teng County, these two are just two piles of shit,

Their incompetence was defeated, and they ordered to dig up the mouth of the garden, and within a few days, 890,000 Henan people died, and then there were endless disasters, and the Japanese lost only about 1,000 at most. As for the Wenxi fire in Changsha, it was a sad farce, and the enemy was still one or two hundred miles away. As a result, the people who made the burning of the castle ignored the problem that fires could also occur in the city.

As a result, Changsha was completely burned in a fire, and even the wounded and family members of the army died in the fire. This kind of scorched earth war of resistance, if it comes back a few times, I am afraid that China will die. If the Central Army could take out one-tenth of its ruthlessness to its own people and use it on the battlefield of the War of Resistance, it would not have been occupied by Japan.

Of course, among the ragtag army, there are also some problematic elements, and on the whole, compared to a certain organization that has surrendered to the vice president, it is really respectable.

"Brother Baili, the Northwest Army also refers to the way of the southwest and accepts the reorganization, among which Zhang Zizhong, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Song Zheyuan, Huang Weigang, Sun Lianzhong, He Jifeng, Ji Hongchang, Han Fuyu and others can be hired as appropriate."

Jiang Baili saw that Zhang Tinglan already had a case, so he didn't say anything, and immediately made arrangements, and now that the southwest and northwest were under control, the area actually controlled by the national defense force had increased by more than one-third, so there was an urgent need to expand the army.

After discussions between the Ministry of Defense and the Military Council, the Zuihou army was expanded by 15 divisions, bringing the total number of the defense force to more than 550,000. At the same time, the officers will also undergo a complete reshuffle, and after the training of these newly recruited generals, they will be enriched into some units under the absolute control of the original Feng army.

At the same time, some officers were drawn from these units to fill the troops in the northwest and southwest, which not only expanded the sphere of influence of Zhang Tinglan's lineage, but also limited the situation in which the Feng family was dominant, which was equivalent to diluting the army and breaking the situation of officers holding together.

After the rapid development of the army's work, another task was also placed in front of him: Wang Yongjiang, who had just assumed the post of premier of the cabinet, sent Zhang Tinglan a letter of immigration, saying that he wanted to increase the number of immigrants from the interior by 1 million in the northwest, establish a cantonment corps, and strengthen control over the frontier.
