Jin Zhao put away his smile and said with a serious face, "Our conditions are, first, the Central Army will all withdraw from Fujian, and Fujian will be garrisoned by the 19th Route Army after accepting the reorganization, and without the permission of the 19th Route Army, the Central Army shall not send a single soldier into Fujian." Second, the 19th Route Army is responsible for the reorganization of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe, and the Fujian Provincial Political Axe is willing to obey the leadership of the Central Political Axe, but Fujian implements autonomy, and the Central Political Axe shall not interfere with the Fujian Provincial Political Axe People**. Third, our 19th Route Army raised troops only to resist and save the country, and the central government must not prevent the 19th Route Army from sending troops north to resist for various reasons! And the 19th Route Army must not be transferred to participate in the civil war, including the suppression of the Red Army! These three are our bottom line, as long as the principal agrees to us these three conditions, everything else is easy to discuss! ”

Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help frowning, he really didn't expect Jin Zhao's appetite to be so big, if he agreed to this condition, it would be equivalent to giving up the entire Fujian Province to Jin Zhao. At that time, a new type of warlord -- a Fujian warlord -- will appear in China, and there will be another province in the whole country that is not under the jurisdiction of the central government, Fujian Province. Lao Jiang would not agree to such conditions, and now Lao Jiang is still thinking about how to eliminate these local warlords all day long, so he naturally doesn't want another one to pop up. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhong shook his head decisively and said, "Meng Bo, these conditions of yours are too harsh, and according to the conditions you proposed, you will be able to take advantage of the benefits, as if the central government will not get any benefits!" ”

Jin Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "Teacher's words are wrong!" First of all, this is not a condition I proposed, but the unanimous opinion of the current main generals of our 19th Route Army! First of all, we will automatically abolish the political axe of the people's revolution in Fujian Province and form an autonomous province that is subject to the leadership of the central political axe, and we will not allow Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, and other parties and factions that oppose the central political axe to engage in activities against the central political axe in Fujian. Second, although we will not participate in the civil war, we will always support the central government, and we will not directly send troops to fight against the Red Army or other local warlords who oppose the central government, but we will also not secretly contact or openly support these forces that oppose the central government's political axe to carry out activities against the central government. Third, if the central government accepts our conditions, then the central army that entered Fujian can leave Fujian safely, including the captured soldiers, and we will return all of them. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Zhizhong's mouth, and he said unhappily, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"Students don't dare!" Jin Zhao hurriedly said, "The students are just speaking from the truth, now the two divisions of Commander Wei Lihuang have been surrounded, and they are about to run out of ammunition and food, and they will be subjected to indiscriminate bombardment by our air force every day. On the southern Fujian side, Commander Weng Zhaoyuan has gathered 40,000 troops to go south, and Commander Jiang Dingwen only has one division left, and his troops are thin, so I am afraid that he can only retreat to Xiamen all the way. ”

Zhang Zhizhong snorted coldly and said, "Meng Bo, I guess you don't know yet!" The principal has once again mobilized ten divisions of troops to reinforce Fujian! With your talent, after the reorganization of the 19th Route Army, you are at least a division commander, and even the principal intends to let you serve as the commander of the 19th Army after the reorganization, and then you will be the first person worthy of all Whampoa students, which shows the importance of the principal to you. But once you insist on going your own way and the Central Army enters Fujian in a big way, do you think you can stop the massive attack of the million-strong Central Army? When the time comes, the army will be defeated and captured, even I won't be able to save you, Meng Bo wake up! Don't make a mistake and hate it for eternity! At this time, Hu Zongnan, who was known as the first protégé of the Son of Huangpu Heaven, was only the commander of the First Division, and it was not until 1936 that he was promoted to the commander of the First Army, becoming the first person to be promoted to the commander of the Huangpu Academy.

In the face of Zhang Zhizhong's painstaking persuasion, Jin Zhao remained unmoved, and said with a smile, "Don't scare students, teachers, students have always been timid!" However, as far as the students know, the principal only sent the 11th Division and the 67th Division into Fujian for reinforcements, and although the central army had a million people, the principal had to use it to suppress the red and prevent the warlords from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Zhang Zhizhong really didn't expect that Jin Zhao had already known that the Central Army that had entered Fujian for reinforcements only had two divisions. The lie was exposed, Zhang Zhizhong smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Even if there are only 11th and 67th divisions, do you think that with the bandits in Wuyi Mountain, they can stop it?" At most, these two divisions will be able to rush to Yanping in five days, and then they will join forces with Wei Lihuang, and the Wuyi Mountain bandit army will be destroyed in an instant, and then Wei Lihuang will lead 60,000 people to march eastward, plus I still have tens of thousands of troops in Fuzhou, that is, a whole army of more than 100,000 troops, do you think that with the 20,000 or 30,000 troops in your hands, you can stop the 100,000 troops of the Central Army? ”

Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "I can't stop it, but I dare to bet with you, teacher!" Not to mention five days, even if it is fifteen days, the reinforcements of the Central Army will not want to rush to Yanping. And this time is enough for us to annihilate Wei Lihuang's department! ”

Zhang Zhizhong shook his head with a smile and said, "Meng Bo, you are too confident!" With those bandits in Wuyi Mountain, do you think you can really block the two divisions of the Central Army for half a month? ”

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "The teacher always said that the Wuyi Mountain Reading Division was a bandit, but this bandit army only dispatched 5,000 people, and it blocked the two divisions of the Central Army in Yanping, and the onslaught of more than 20,000 people lasted for several days. And there are more than 15,000 soldiers and horses hidden in the vast mountains of northwest Fujian, waiting for the 11th and 67th divisions to throw themselves into the net! When I say fifteen days, I still overestimate the combat effectiveness of the 11th Division! Maybe they won't be able to catch up with Yanping City at all! ”

Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help frowning, Zhang Zhizhong knew about Wei Lihuang's attack on Yanping. He thought that the main force of the Wuyi Mountain bandit army in Yanping City was already there, but listening to Jin Zhao's meaning, there were still 15,000 main forces in Wuyi Mountain that had not been dispatched! If the combat effectiveness of these people is the same as that of the bandit army in Yanping, it will indeed be difficult for the 11th and 67th Divisions to reach Yanping. But Zhang Zhizhong couldn't hold the truth of Jin Zhao's words, but looking at Jin Zhao's confident expression, it didn't seem to be lying! Zhang Zhizhong hesitated for a moment and then said, "Meng Bo, the conditions you put forward are too harsh, I can't be the master!" You have to ask the principal. As for the 19th Route Army's acceptance of the reorganization of the central authorities, we can talk about it slowly. ”

Jin Zhao shook his head and said, "Teacher, students can't be the master of this matter, and the acting commander-in-chief of the Nineteenth Route Army, Chief Shen Guanghan, has already issued a strict order. Unless the Central Committee accepts our conditions in full, military operations will never be stopped! Jin Zhao naturally saw at once that this was Zhang Zhizhong's strategy to delay the army, so he decisively refused. Although Jin Zhao has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, compared with the millions of troops in the central government, it is not half a star. The reason why he was able to achieve a series of victories in the early stage was somewhat fluke, if it was clear that the carriage and horse artillery, the fight of famous knives and guns, it would not be easy for Jin Zhao to win, so Jin Zhao couldn't wait to hope that Lao Jiang could bow his head quickly. Zhang Zhizhong personally came to negotiate, Jin Zhao was very excited, but Jin Zhao would never give in, let alone fall for Zhang Zhizhong's plan to delay the army, once the reinforcements of the Central Army arrived, the outcome was really unpredictable, even if he could win, he would pay a greater price, Jin Zhao was naturally unwilling to do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Jin Zhao to reject his proposal so decisively, as for the reason given by Jin Zhao, Zhang Zhizhong directly regarded it as a fart, who didn't know that Shen Guanghan was just a puppet, and now the real power of the Nineteenth Route Army was completely in the hands of Jin Zhao and Weng Zhaoyuan. "Meng Bo, since you have decided to negotiate with the Central Committee and accept the reorganization of the Central Committee, your and our armies will no longer be in a hostile state, and this military operation should naturally be stopped!" Zhang Zhizhong still did not give up, and then persuaded him.

Jin Zhao naturally did not want to refute Zhang Zhizhong's face, but before the central government agreed to the conditions, Jin Zhao would never stop attacking. So Jin Zhao then said in Zhang Zhizhong, "The teacher's order, the student dare not disobey." It's just that the students alone can't make the decision, so be it! I will do my best to persuade Commander-in-Chief Shen to achieve an armistice first, and then to negotiate. ”

Zhang Zhizhong's face couldn't help but change, but Jin Zhao didn't explicitly refuse himself after all, so although Zhang Zhizhong was angry, he didn't want to have a seizure in person, he just coughed dryly, and temporarily exposed the topic, "Meng Bo! I will consult the principal on your terms. It's just that these conditions are too harsh, and I'm afraid it's hard for the principal to agree! ”

Jin Zhao said with a wry smile, "The teacher doesn't know, and we are also forced to be helpless!" Therefore, in front of the principal, I hope that the teacher will have a few kind words. But our conditions cannot be changed. If the principal insists on sending troops to exterminate us, as a last resort, we can only retreat to western Fujian and drill into the mountains to become the king of the mountain! Zhang Zhizhong wanted Jin Zhao to lower his conditions, but Jin Zhao's words warned Zhang Zhizhong that if the central government did not agree, the 19th Route Army would stubbornly resist to the end, and as a last resort, he would retreat to western Fujian and join the Red Army, or even take refuge in the Red Army. Jin Zhao naturally did not really defect to the Red Army, but just used it to threaten Zhang Zhizhong.

With Zhang Zhizhong's shrewdness, it was naturally impossible not to understand Jin Zhao's meaning, Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile, "Meng Bo said that it was funny, as long as you sincerely surrender to the central government, the principal can still be blamed in the past." As for your conditions, I will report to the principal immediately, and I will ask the principal to decide. Then a few people exchanged a few more pleasantries, Zhang Zhizhong got up and said goodbye, Jin Zhao and Xie Jinyuan kept Zhang Zhizhong to eat, but Zhang Zhizhong, who was worried, did not agree, and hurried back to Fuzhou.
