Chapter 182: The Fujian Incident Breaks Out
After a burst of clouds and rain, Jin Zhao lay down satisfied, but there was always a trace of worry between his eyebrows. Jin Zhao reached out and picked up a box of cigarettes placed next to the bed, took out one and lit it, and inhaled it silently.
After experiencing some wind and rain, Zhou Ping's little bird Yiren lay in Jin Zhao's arms. With Zhou Ping's cleverness, he naturally saw the worried look on Jin Zhao's face, so he asked cautiously, "I heard that you have just been promoted to division commander, this is a good thing!" Why do you still look unhappy? β
Jin Zhao glanced at Zhou Ping and said angrily, "Woman's opinion! Good thing? Hum! Jiang, Cai and others were not empowered, and they tried in vain to ** the principal. Now it seems to be calm, but it is full of dangers, if we are not careful, we will all fall into a situation of no return, let alone the division commander at that time, it would be good to be able to save this little life. β
"Ahh Zhou Ping couldn't help but exclaim, "Wouldn't it?" So what do we do? Zhou Ping's panic was naturally pretended, in fact, she had already secretly transmitted Fujian's intelligence back to Nanjing. It's just that now Zhou Ping can't get rid of Jin Zhao's attitude, so he is still cautious in front of Jin Zhao for fear of revealing his identity, but he doesn't know that Jin Zhao has already noticed her identity and sent someone to secretly monitor her, and Jin Zhao can be said to know everything about her every move.
Jin Zhao sighed helplessly, then briefly explained his worries to Zhou Ping, and finally asserted that the Nineteenth Route Army would be defeated. Zhou Ping was immediately stunned after hearing this, and only after a long time did he ask tentatively, "Then let's take the troops to Nanjing!" Why bother to give Jiang, Cai and others a burial. β
"You think I want to!" Jin Zhao threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, then lit another one and continued, "I only have the strength of a brigade in my hand now, and the main force of the Nineteenth Route Army alone has five divisions, plus local militia groups and other troops, with a total strength of more than 100,000. I don't know if the principal still trusts me. Speaking of this, Jin Zhao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"So what do we do now?" Zhou Ping hurriedly asked.
"I don't know!" Jin Zhao said with a look of annoyance, "Now I can only take one step at a time!" β
Zhou Ping also wanted to persuade Jin Zhao to join Lao Jiang, but he was afraid that this would arouse Jin Zhao's suspicion, so as to expose his identity, and finally opened his mouth and did not speak. Jin Zhao glanced at Zhou Ping and saw that she no longer spoke, just lying there in a daze. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, Jin Zhao didn't say anything anymore, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, turned his head and fell asleep.
Jin Zhao's expectation was good, Lao Jiang was not a fool, he had long been aware of the instability of the 19th Route Army, and had always secretly paid attention to the movements of the 19th Route Army in Fujian. After Chen Mingshu and others decided to launch the Min Mutiny, Lao Jiang quickly got the news, and after getting the news, Lao Jiang was naturally furious, but he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
In Lao Jiang's mind, Chen Mingshu is not an idle person, but a military politician with political skills. After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Ning Han**, many people in the Congress at that time could not see the situation clearly and were waiting and watching. But Chen Mingshu was able to resolutely support Jiang Touning, and once won the trust of Lao Jiang. Before and after the 918 Incident, the domestic political situation was full of ups and downs, but Chen Mingshu made full use of the contradictions between Ning and Guangdong, left and right, and once acted as the president of the Executive Yuan, and finally forced Lao Jiang Xiaye and Sun Ke to form a cabinet and serve as the vice president of the Executive Yuan. Not only that, Chen Mingshu also used the 19th Route Army and some progressive literati he made friends with as political capital, put forward the idea of stopping the suppression of bandits and unanimously resisting, and became a rising political force in the party.
And it is this person who has political ambitions and has a certain influence in the party, and now he has hooked up with the third party and Li Jishen and others to unite against him, and Lao Jiang, who feels a huge threat, naturally has to pay attention. So Lao Jiang began to secretly plot to sabotage the Fujian Incident, so that the Fujian Incident was stillborn.
Shortly after the Hong Kong meeting, Chen Mingshu had just arrived in Fuzhou. Lao Jiang invited Lin Sen, chairman of the Congress Party, to mediate. Lin Sen had a personal relationship with Chen Mingshu, so he rushed to Fuzhou to reconcile on the pretext of returning to Fujian to visit relatives. Lin Sen met with Chen Mingshu, Jiang Guangnai, and others in Fujian, and strongly persuaded Chen Mingshu to serve in Nanjing, so as to cancel his plan to make trouble in Fujian and avoid the suffering of cannibalism. Chen Mingshu politely refused, saying that he was against Jiang and unswerving! Seeing that the advice was ineffective, Lin Sen could only return to Nanjing in disappointment.
In addition, Lao Jiang also sent Huang Shaohong, one of the three giants of the former Gui family, to the south to win over Chen Jitang in Guangdong and Li Zongren in Guangxi, hoping that they would support the central government after the Fujian Mutiny. At this time, Huang Shaohong had gradually broken away from the Gui family and threw himself into Lao Jiang. After Huang Shaohong's activities, Chen Jitang and Li Zongren both said that they would not support the Fujian incident.
On November 17, 1933, Li Jishen, the spiritual leader of the Fujian Incident, arrived in Fuzhou. Chen Youren, Xu Qian, Yu Xinqing and others also followed. Li Jishen's arrival means that the Fujian Incident has entered the countdown.
At this time, more than 130 representatives of various political parties gathered in Fuzhou in response to the Fujian Incident, which can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion.
On the 18th, Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu organized representatives of various parties to hold a joint meeting of representatives of various parties at the Shan Qi Gong Ancestral Hall. After some fierce debate, the meeting planned to convene the "Provisional People's Congress of China" on 20 November, and made a decision to organize the people's political axe.
At the same time, Lao Jiang, who learned the news, was furious and immediately issued a telegram, reprimanding Chen Mingshu for organizing the Socialist Party without permission and attempting to use the 19th Route Army to resist the Central Committee's mistake.
On the 19th, Chen Mingshu sent a telegram to Lao Jiang and the Nanjing political axe, strongly condemning Lao Chiang's domestic and foreign policies of suppressing the red and fearing it. It is clear that a coup d'Γ©tat is not something that can be provoked by others, nor can it be separated by a momentary misunderstanding. At the same time, he pointed out that the achievements of the 19th Route Army in resistance are due to the country, the facts are there, and they do not allow others to tarnish, and finally urged Lao Jiang to reflect on what he has done in the past seven or eight years in power, and what benefits he has done to the country and the nation. You claim to be a student of the former prime minister, but you have become the prime minister's biggest traitor, completely betraying the three righteousness of the prime minister. asked Lao Jiang to consciously advance and retreat before the people were angry.
Lao Jiang took Chen Mingshu's telegram, and scolded more than a dozen sentences angrily, Niang Xipi! Not only was the telegram torn to shreds, but a set of tea sets at hand was also damaged, and Huawei was covered with fragments. However, Lao Jiang quickly calmed down and knew that the matter had come to this point, and the Fujian incident was inevitable. So on the one hand, Lao Jiang began to actively mobilize troops and prepare for military encirclement and suppression, but on the other hand, he sent people to Fujian secretly, scattered gold and silver, and secretly bribed the generals of the 19th Route Army.
On November 20, 1933, Fuzhou, a historic city located on the coast of the East China Sea and across the sea from the treasure island of Taiwan, ushered in the most lively and glorious day in the more than 1,200 years since the founding of the city, with thousands of soldiers, students, workers, peasants, and businessmen, their faces filled with this high revolutionary enthusiasm, holding small colored flags, lined up in neat lines, from all directions, streets and alleys, mightily flocked to the public stadium at the foot of the mountain in the center of the city, a conference that shocked the world - "the Provisional People's Congress of China" It was being held here, and the Fujian Incident broke out!
Jin Zhao was fortunate to participate in the conference as a representative, looking at the crowd of people from all directions, Jin Zhao sighed a lot, and still couldn't help but think about those days in Huangpu, Guangzhou, the revolutionary atmosphere in Guangzhou at that time was even stronger than the current Fuzhou, but unfortunately the Great Revolution finally failed, countless Northern Expeditionary soldiers threw their heads, sprinkled blood in exchange for victory, but finally fulfilled Lao Jiang, the Beiyang warlords were **, were **. But more new warlords emerged, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Gui Army, the Yue Army, the Sichuan Army, and Jin Zhao couldn't count how many warlords there were in the country.
More than 100 delegates from 25 provinces and municipalities across the country and overseas Chinese attended the National Congress. After the meeting began, Li Jishen, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and other leaders of the Fujian Revolution spoke one after another, pushing the venue to the first place again and again. Unfortunately, Chen Mingshu, the actual leader of the Fujian Incident, was hospitalized due to overwork and was unable to attend the meeting.
After the speech, Huang Qixiang, chairman of the Congress, read out the "Declaration of the People's Rights of the Chinese People's Provisional Congress", which pointed out that the purpose of the National People's Congress is to save the country, protect the country, and seek the best reading power of China! Accordingly, it was proposed that the reading power of the country is the supreme principle of inviolability, that the people have the absolute right to equality, that all unequal treaties signed by imperialism are denied, that the imperialists force themselves to sign unequal treaties, that the first thing is to realize the autonomy of tariffs, to implement the calculation of land and to reward industrial construction, and that the people have the right and obligation to defend the country with arms, and to call on the revolutionary forces of the whole country to oppose the imperialist and anti-Nanjing political axe, and immediately organize the people's revolutionary political axe, the Nanjing political axe led by Lao Chiang.
At the same time, the congress unconditionally accepted the proposal to organize the people's revolutionary political axe, named the country the Republic of China, and displayed a newly designed national flag, the new national flag is red and blue, the upper half is red, the lower half is blue, representing the workers and peasants respectively, and the national flag is inlaid with a yellow five-pointed star in the middle, representing the great union of the productive people.
The meeting unanimously passed the bill on formulating a new national flag, and then held a flag-raising ceremony for the new national flag, and the officers and men of the 19th Route who were present took off the blue sky and white cockade on their military caps and threw them on the ground. When the national flag was raised, the audience was boiling, chanting "protect the rights of the people", "organize the people", "deny all ** treaties", "**imperialism! "**Lao Jiang!" "The **** Nanjing political axe" "** said this imperialism, recover the lost territory in the Northeast!" "Long live the Chinese people!"
Unlike most people's fanaticism, Jin Zhao always stared indifferently at the scene in front of him! (To be continued.) )
