Chapter 180: It's going to change
After the agreement was signed, the Red Army gradually retreated, and Jin Zhao led his troops back to Xianyou, to Jin Zhao's satisfaction, the Reading Brigade did not fight with the Red Army from beginning to end.
At the station of the Reading Brigade in Xianyou City, there were bursts of earth-shaking shouts of killing on the field, and the officers and soldiers of the Reading Brigade were sweating and training on the field. Jin Zhao looked at the hot scene on the field and nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Shouqing, do you think my soldiers of the Reading Force Brigade are worthy of a battle?" ”
Wang Geng, who was standing beside Jin Zhao, couldn't help frowning when he heard Jin Zhao's words. Wang Geng was dismissed from his position as the head of the tax police regiment because of the fact that the tax police regiment went north to protest without authorization, and he has been idle at home. Jin Zhao did not forget this top student of the West Point Military Academy, so he wrote a letter asking Wang Geng to come to Fujian to help him train his troops. Because when he was in Shanghai, Jin Zhao had a life-saving grace for Jin Zhao, and he came to Fujian in the spirit of repaying his kindness. Jin Zhao asked Wang Geng to help him train soldiers and officers. Wang Geng also worked carefully, and after a preliminary understanding of the Reading Brigade, he formulated a specific training plan, and then after some discussion and modification, it was promoted throughout the brigade, and now it has begun to show results.
Although Wang Geng didn't know why Jin Zhao suddenly asked this, he still nodded and said, "It can be called the elite of China!" ”
"Oh!" Jin Zhao raised his eyebrows and then asked, "How is it compared to the Tax Police Corps?" ”
Wang Geng's heart hurts, the tax police corps has always been a piece of Wang Geng's heart, he worked hard to train the elite soldiers, but in the end he cheapened Lao Jiang in vain, whenever he thought of this, Wang Geng was angry in his heart, maybe he should not have obeyed Lao Jiang's orders and withdrew the troops, if he only disobeyed Lao Jiang's orders and brought the troops to Rehe to participate in the War of Resistance, the Battle of Rehe may not have ended up like this! However, if Wang Geng brought his troops to Rehe, it is unknown how Lao Jiang would deal with the Tax Police Corps. Wang Gengqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded and said, "Although there are shortcomings, they are not the same." ”
Jin Zhao just nodded with satisfaction and did not speak. At this time, Wang Geng suddenly asked, "Soldier, murder weapon!" The saint had to use it as a last resort. I don't know how Meng Boxiang uses this elite army! In fact, Wang Geng didn't tell the truth, although the training time of the Reading Force Brigade was still short at this time, its combat effectiveness had indeed faintly surpassed that of the Tax Police Corps, even with the most elite Sun Liren's Fourth Regiment, it can only be said that it has its own merits. Of course, Wang Geng would not have thought that this was because there were a large number of system fighters as the backbone in the Reading Brigade, so that they could form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time. However, what Wang Geng is most concerned about now is whether the purpose of Jin Zhao's training of such an army is to divide one side and become a warlord like some people, or to resist the war. Now Wang Geng regrets a little in his heart, is it right to help Jin Zhao train his troops.
Jin Zhao didn't seem to notice the change in Wang Geng's mood, and still looked at the situation on the battlefield with great concern, "What is the duty of a soldier?" Without waiting for Wang Geng to answer, Jin Zhao continued, "The duty of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country and resist foreign humiliation!" ”
It seemed that Jin Zhao had expected this answer, but Wang Geng didn't feel the slightest relief, and just said lightly, "I'm afraid that your principal won't think so?" ”
Jin Zhao finally turned his head and smiled at Wang Geng, "In my principal's heart, red is always the biggest threat, and he is not in the mood to resist until he exterminates it." However, the world is impermanent, and some things are beyond his control! Brother Shouqing, Fujian is about to change, and you and I will be useful at that time! After Jin Zhao finished speaking, he smiled and patted Wang Geng's shoulder, then turned around and walked forward.
Hearing Jin Zhao's words, Wang Geng's heart was shocked, what did Jin Zhao mean when he said that Fujian was going to change? Could it be that there will be great changes in Fujian in the near future? With huge doubts, Wang Geng caught up with Jin Zhao in front of him, wanting to learn more from Jin Zhao's mouth, but Jin Zhao didn't give him this opportunity, and led the topic elsewhere very casually, Wang Geng knew that Jin Zhao didn't want to tell himself, so he didn't ask himself boringly.
In fact, Jin Zhao has just received an important piece of information, just yesterday, that is, on November 10, 1933, Chen Mingshu and Huang Qixiang secretly rushed to Fuzhou accompanied by Jiang Guangnai. Jin Zhao knew that the Fujian incident was just around the corner, and he didn't have much time to prepare.
On the 13th, Cai Tingkai flew from Zhangzhou to Fuzhou. Jiang Guangnai first introduced to Cai Tingkai the plan agreed in Hong Kong to oppose Chiang's resistance, and then said to Cai Tingkai from the bottom of his heart, "Xianchu, the time has come. We must carry out resistance, but we must resist revolution. If the Nanjing political axe cannot lead us to resist, our China will eventually become a colony of the capital, and there will be no return! I have now promised my father. ”
Cai Tingkai didn't feel sudden about the decision of the Hong Kong conference to overthrow Jiang, but he didn't expect that Jiang Guangnai, who has always been cautious, would agree so readily, so he turned to Chen Mingshu and said, "What does Zhengong want us to do?" With regard to finances, what is the certainty of the military? ”
Chen Mingshu saw that Cai Tingkai was a little timid, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, "In the revolutionary era of Mr. Zhongshan, he was unarmed and could still succeed, and the revolution could not be counted as success or failure. ”
Cai Tingkai knew that Chen Mingshu and others had already made up their minds, "Success or failure is not enough." But how to get started is a big question. ”
Jiang Guangnai interjected, "Now it has been decided to jointly organize a joint political axe with all parties, Li Rengong (Li Jishen) and Xu Qian also agree." ”
Although Cai Tingkai was very dissatisfied with Chen Mingshu's hasty move, he had a premonition that it would be difficult for the incident to succeed. However, seeing that the incident had already been caused, like an arrow on the wind, he had no choice but to send it, and immediately said, "If this is indeed the case, you should explain it to the generals and ask for opinions, so that you can pool your wisdom, strengthen your will, and unify your pace." ”
Chen Mingshu and Jiang Guangnai were relieved to see Cai Tingkai's clear expression, and hoped that he would convey the spirit of the Hong Kong Conference to the generals of the 19th Route Army as soon as possible, eliminate all interference, and be prepared to oppose Chiang's move.
Beginning in November, representatives of various parties responding to the Fujian incident rushed to Fuzhou one after another, and preparations for the incident were in full swing. As the main military leader of Fujian, Cai Tingkai felt a heavy responsibility, and immediately summoned five division commanders, Shen Guanghan, Mao Weishou, Ou Shounian, Zhang Yan, and Tan Qixiu, as well as Jin Zhao, commander of the Reading Brigade, Yun Yinglin, commander of the Majiang Fortress, Huang Qiang, chief of staff of the General Headquarters, Deng Shizeng, chief of staff of the Appeasement Office, and other high-ranking generals to attend the military conference in Fuzhou. In order to unify the thinking of the generals of the 19th Route Army, prepare for war.
At the meeting, Cai Tingkai first announced the decision of the Hong Kong Conference, that is, to hold an anti-Chiang resistance incident with the backing of the 19th Route Army, unite various anti-Chiang forces, and establish a new political axe. Unexpectedly, after 918, after the invasion and the loss of the country, Mr. Jiang was not heartbroken. Insist on engaging in his set of external and internal first. In the 128th Songhu War of Resistance, the officers and soldiers of our 19th Route were born and died, fought bloodily, not only for meritorious service but without reward, but also to be sent to the poor and isolated Fujian Xinjiang to fight with the Red Army. Our 19th Route Army is the vanguard of the resistance, and if we want to maintain the glorious history of the 19th Route Army, we can only be determined to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, and if we do not oppose Chiang, we will eventually be wiped out by the Nanjing political axe. ”
In this military meeting of senior generals, Jin Zhao's position was the lowest, so at the beginning of the meeting, Jin Zhao just listened carefully and never spoke, but secretly observed the reactions of the generals.
At this time, Ou Shounian proposed that the 19th Route Army in Fujian alone was not enough to succeed, and that Chen Jitang, Li Zongren and other troops in Liangguang should be contacted to jointly do things in order to succeed.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Cai Tingkai had to say that he had already contacted Liangguang, and as long as Fujian made a move, Liangguang would inevitably raise troops to respond. But Jin Zhao noticed that Cai Tingkai was worried, and knew that Cai Tingkai did not tell the truth, and linked to the fact that Liangguang did not respond to the Fujian Incident in history, Jin Zhao guessed that this was just a beautiful lie made up by Cai Tingkai in order to stabilize the morale of the army! In fact, Chen Mingshu and others did contact Chen Jitang and Li Zongren, but in the end they failed, but Chen Mingshu and others naively believed that these people were just wavering, and the current old Jiang said that he was constantly compromising and had lost the support of the people, and as long as the 19th Route Army raised an incident in Fujian, warlords from all over the country would inevitably respond.
The tree flag fell to Jiang, this is a major matter related to the success or failure of the 19th Route Army. However, most of the generals attending the meeting were silent and ambiguous. Shen Guanghan, Ou Shounian, and Tan Qixiu just said that military orders are like mountains, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and they will convey them according to the orders after they go back, and be prepared to deal with them. However, Mao Weishou, Huang Qiang, Zhang Yan, Deng Shizeng and others always smiled and did not speak, and did not express their position on the anti-Jiang matter. The fundamental reason why the generals had such an ambiguous attitude was that they had already felt that Chen Mingshu's anti-Chiang resistance incident would be difficult to succeed in, and they were unwilling to take this risk and lose their own future and even their lives. But these people don't know Lao Jiang too well, even if they take refuge in Lao Chiang, it is impossible to gain Lao Chiang's trust, after the failure of the Fujian Incident in history, these people were dismissed from their posts and sent abroad to inspect the military.
Jin Zhao, who took all this into his eyes, couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, no wonder the Fujian incident in history was defeated so quickly, just look at these generals of the 19th Route Army who have their own ghosts. And Cai Tingkai was also very dissatisfied with the negligence of his subordinates, so he had the heart to rectify the generals, but Cai Tingkai also knew that the so-called accumulation was difficult to return, and there was no time to rectify it in a hurry, so he could only wait for the slow rectification in the future.
Jin Zhao originally wanted to make it clear that he supported Cai Tingkai, but after seeing the public's reaction, Jin Zhao changed his mind. These people have their own ghosts, maybe someone has already secretly contacted Lao Jiang to find a way back! As soon as Jin Zhao expressed his position during the day, maybe Lao Jiang would know about it at night, which was not conducive to Jin Zhao's overall plan, so in the end Jin Zhao just expressed his willingness to obey military orders.
