Chapter 602: The Great Arrival
Chapter 602 is coming
Tang Qiuli knew the mission and arduousness of this trip to Shaanxi and Gansu, in the eyes of the CCP, I am afraid that in addition to Chairman Chiang, China's biggest new warlord, the KMT and the CCP have fought a bloody war for ten years, and there are deep grievances, the CCP's ideals and political ambitions will never be willing to be subservient, once there is an opportunity, this is a terrible force, containing huge energy, in any case, the purpose of this trip is to find an ally, not to set up an enemy.
Turning over the "Plan for the Reorganization of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China" drawn up by the senior staff of the Military Commission, sure enough, as mentioned in history, the Chinese Communist Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National ** Army, with the commander-in-chief Zhu De, the former commander-in-chief of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, and Peng Dehuai, the deputy commander-in-chief, with three divisions and six brigades, namely the famous 115th Division, 120th Division, and 129th Division in history, that is, the basic team of millions of troops later. It can be appointed by the Eighth Route Army itself, and it can be reported to the Military Commission for the record.
The state government is responsible for supplying the equipment and material supplies of the three divisions, and the demarcated future combat area of the Eighth Route Army is precisely the area of North China, within the jurisdiction of his own Yellow River Valley Theater, Tang Qiuli shook his head while watching, the old man is inevitably a little childish, how to say that it is also the largest opposition party, just giving such a small establishment, obviously restricting the development of the Chinese Communists.
The abacus is good, but the CCP is not something you can limit, as long as they open up northern Shaanxi, within a year's effort, tens of thousands of people will become hundreds of thousands, there is a fundamental conflict here, the CCP's development area is in North China, and it will inevitably compete with itself for military resources and material resources, and this is also one of Chairman Jiang's ruthless hands to release the CCP.
Tang Qiuli thought of this, quite a headache, the overall resources of the theater are so much, if you avoid conflict, it is impossible, after all, if the CCP wants to develop, he does not have a very good way to avoid these things from happening, so he can only go with the flow.
On this night, Tang Qiuli did not sleep soundly, a force that wants to gain power in the future is about to enter the stage of history, and it will not only change the strategic pattern of North China, but also have a far-reaching impact, and he cannot but consider it in many ways.
In the morning, he held a meeting, at which Tang Qiuli decided to form an advance team, led by Mei Ting, with Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, as his deputy, to rush to northern Shaanxi in advance, to make a forward station for himself, and also to contact the CCP first, so as not to suddenly go to northern Shaanxi with such an identity. It seems a little abrupt, there is no more suitable person than Mei Ting to do this, the identity is there, the vice chairman's wife, a well-known golden signboard.
And he has to stay in Nanjing for a few days, since the CCP is a move released by Chairman Jiang to deal with himself, all the expenses are naturally responsible for the government, and he is not stupid enough to pay out of his own pocket, if he doesn't get these together, he goes empty-handed, obviously he is not sincere enough, and he writes empty checks, Tang Qiuli knows the efficiency of some departments of the state government, especially when it comes to paying out of pocket, he is not staring at it, and it is really hard to say when it will be in place.
Mei Ting and Shen Jun left Nanjing on the same day, returned to the army, organized the advance team, and in the next few days, Tang Qiuli ran between various departments of the national government, implementing all the equipment and material supplies allocated to the CCP one by one.
Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, Mei Ting, who had arrived in northern Shaanxi, sent a telegram, a qiēshun lì, Tong guò and the preliminary negotiations of the leaders of the Communist Party of China, a basic agreement has been reached, all walks of life in Yan'an, welcome Vice Chairman Tang at any time, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but admire, "Mei Ting did a beautiful job"
On the same day, the Executive Yuan issued a letter of appointment, appointing Li Honggang, commander of the Shandong Local Garrison Command, as chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, with full authority to manage the administrative affairs of the whole province of Shandong, and appointing Yuan Jinghao, commander of the Shaanxi Garrison Command, as chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, with full authority to manage the administrative affairs of the whole province of Shandong. Tang Qiuli, vice chairman of the Military Commission and commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command, is also chairman of the Henan Provincial Government.
The appointment of the Executive Yuan means that the territory of Shaanxi and Henan provinces, which Yan Xishan covets, and the territory of Shandong Province that Li Zongren is worried about, have officially fallen into the hands of Tang Qiuli, and in addition, there are also things that make Li Zongren and Yan Xishan extremely depressed, and the Military Commission issued an order to abolish the Xuzhou Theater, the Gui Army and the Sichuan Army were transferred south to the Songhu region, and the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government was concurrently served by Feng Jiwu, deputy commander of the independent division and commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Yan Xishan was in charge of military affairs and served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Valley Theater.
Tang Qiuli was not happy about appointing Feng Jiwu as chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government, which was obviously another move by Chairman Jiang, provoking Yan Xishan to oppose himself and transferring Yan Xishan's anger to himself.
Yan Xishan, who regards Shanxi as his own private property, is not willing to give up the territory that he has worked hard for many years, and he will definitely not give up, Tang Qiuli is secretly distressed, Yan Xishan made a small move, isn't he distracted, the old man's trick is enough to damage, he immediately ordered Feng Jiwu to resolutely resign from the appointment of the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government, the reason is very good, and the Japanese army is in a tense confrontation, the war is frequent, and he cannot perform the duties of the chairman.
Tang Qiuli just made a gesture to Yan Xishan, let him rest assured, this was not his original intention, and at the same time, he also told Chairman Jiang, I know your intentions, don't be fooled, although Tang Qiuli dreams of taking Shanxi, but at this time, it is by no means the best time, and it is not easy to resolve Chairman Jiang's move, Nanjing's affairs have been completed, and you can leave here tomorrow to complete the mission of Qincha.
On the night before leaving, Dai Li's sudden visit, as usual, was a top hat to cover his head, a coat to hide his face, to hide his whereabouts, as soon as he saw Tang Qiuli, Dai Li's gratitude, unable to tell in words, he was already where Chairman Jiang was, knowing that a qiē, dreams are about to come true, this deep and ruthless head of agents, can't help but be a little overexcited.
vowed to repay the love of the vice chairman, Tang Qiuli only told him, this is the result of your brother Yunong's own efforts, Qiuli does not dare to be greedy for heavenly merit for himself, it's just that there is information about the Japanese in the future, I hope that the independent division can also get a copy, Dai Li was very relieved, originally thought that Tang Qiuli was going to put forward some harsh requirements, but the result was beyond his expectations, this is a matter of duty, not embarrassed him at all, and agreed.
On February 20, Tang Qiuli and his entourage took a special plane, left Nanjing, and rushed to Dingbian, his itinerary was to Dingbian first, and from Dingbian to Yan'an, the distance was very close, and the safety was also guaranteed, and besides, he had not visited his parents and father-in-law for a long time, which could be regarded as a balance between public and private.
Dingbian, than the last time I came back, there have been greater changes, so that Tang Qiuli is extremely satisfied, the city in a virtuous circle of state, rapid development, has become the economic pillar of the independent division, especially the development of all kinds of military enterprises, for the independent division of equipment improvement, up to play a decisive role, Wang Xu's equipment research institute, has moved from Huangya Cave to Dingbian.
He could only stay in Dingbian for one day, and he took advantage of this day to convene a joint meeting attended by the responsible persons of various departments and garrison areas of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone; at the meeting, in addition to listening to the reports of various departments, he handed over an important task to the garrison area, and within one year, a reserve force of more than 100,000 people was formed in Dingbian, which was strictly trained, and the instructors could be sent by the field troops and the Dingbian Military Academy, and after one year, they would become an army and be formally incorporated into the combat sequence of an independent division.
After the meeting, it was already evening, he hurried to visit his father-in-law's family, and then, at home, Meimei ate an authentic Northeast style meal made by his mother, Mei Xue, this girl, did not leave him an inch, and followed back to the house, it may be that his mother saw the clue, facing his mother's inquiring gaze, Tang Qiuli had no time to explain, thinking that he would leave tomorrow, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, he secretly sighed bitterly, and felt a little melancholy in his heart.
On 22 February, Tang Qiuli left Dingbian and rushed to Yan'an via Wuqi, accompanied by more than 1,000 guards and attachés, and a long convoy of troops.
The convoy passed the security guard, you can see a lot of slogans along the way, are welcoming themselves, it seems that the CCP has made a lot of efforts in this regard, probably this place in northern Shaanxi, before this, I have never seen a car what it is, the place where it passes, the people in the villages and towns along the way, look at the Western scenery, see the excitement of the road, Tang Qiuli's luxury lineup, has become a topic of conversation among the local people for many years.
The convoy entered Yan'an City, so that Tang Qiuli, who was deeply affected by the history of later generations, was very surprised, Yan'an at this time, far from the prosperity a few years later, not to mention the red capital, the first holy place of the Communists, the place of worship of hot-blooded youth, young people from all over the country, flocking here like a tide, seeking the truth of anti-Japanese salvation.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, Yan'an was a border fortress, in order to prevent the Mongolian Plateau from going south to the cavalry of an important military town, after the Ming Dynasty, gradually declined, the city is not big, the area is several miles square, but more than 1,000 households, the caves under the loess cliff and the tile houses on the street are intertwined, a main street, potholes and bumps, nearly 100 shops on both sides of the street, business is dull.
Although after more than a year of operation and recovery by the Communist Party of China, the extremely thin family foundation and lack of financial resources have not fundamentally changed the appearance of Yan'an, but Tang Qiuli still saw something different from the crowd beating gongs and drums and welcoming them.
