Chapter Eighty-Five, Chaotic 1936 Continued 1.
Jiang Qiang continued to clean up the spies of the returning regiment and the Central Union in Xishui County. Within a few days, the team has reached more than 100 people, and the armed forces of those landlords were severely attacked, Jiang Qiang also broke through the small soil city of six landlords, and killed more than 80 landlords and family members who committed heinous crimes. At this time, the people of Xishui thought that the Red Party was back, and they came out to greet the troops one by one, and when they inquired about the troops in Hongkou District, Shanghai, they were excited and didn't know what to do.
Because they know that as long as the army in Shanghai arrives here, their good days will come, because the army in Shanghai will not withdraw, as soon as the troops arrive in Xishui County, those policemen have already opened the door, Jiang Qiang's first thing is to surround the secret service department of the Central Union, and then take over the county government, prison, police station, finance bureau and other important departments of the government, those agents of the Central Union as long as they have blood debts are all shot, without any ambiguity, and in the end, except for a few civilians, the rest of the people in the Central Union have been killed, Jiang Qiang also hated the spies of the Central Union, and he didn't even think about pulling them all out and shooting them, and the county magistrate, the director of the Finance Bureau, and the officials of the police department were also within the scope of the shooting.
In one day, a small county town in Xishui shot nearly 500 criminals and extremists, and Jiang Qiang told those officials who had done evil in the most brutal way that it was not that they did not report it, but that the time had not yet come, and that the chairman of the committee had also heard about the situation in Guizhou in Nanjing, so he called Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang said unceremoniously, those spies were not unjustly killed, and you should transfer all the people of the Central Committee back, right? Where is it useless for the Shanghainese to take the lead, and there is also the fact that these people of the Central Union are simply outrageous, they simply do not regard the common people as human beings, where is the Central Union at this time still withdrawn, without the protection of the army and the police, that is, a group of toothless tigers, as soon as they leave the county seat, they will shoot black guns at people, this occasion is staged in various places in Guizhou, most of which were done by people from the Red Party.
Jiang Qiang's troops have controlled the entire Zunyi area, more than 200 landlords have been arrested, and more than 5,000 have returned to their hometowns, all of whom have been sent to Burma to do hard labor, at this time Jiang Qiang is to control Zunyi, which is also the size of Guizhou's officials frightened, Wang Huimin gathered all those Red Party people together and arranged for them to set up a police station in Zunyi to become policemen, Jiang Qiang also called Bai Chongxi and said, send your Red Party prisoners in Guangxi to Zunyi, I don't want the army in Shanghai to go to Guangxi, It took Guangxi 10 days to send all the more than 4,000 prisoners to Zunyi, and then Yunnan also sent nearly 200 prisoners, and Jiang Qiang turned all these people into police, and the Zunyi region has jurisdiction over a city and 13 counties, namely, Zunyi City, Zunyi County, Xishui County, Chishui County, Renhuai County, Tongzi County, Meitan County, Fenggang County, Yuqing County, Suiyang County, Daozhen County, Zheng'an County, and Wuchuan County. All managed by Sichuan, Zunyi is only allowed to have the presence of police, where to transfer 100 cadres from Shanghai to start managing Zunyi, so that the month-long Zunyi turmoil even if it is temporarily over, at this time Wang Jialie also came to Zunyi, visited Jiang Qiang, the two talked for an afternoon, no one knew the content, the next day Wang Jialie returned to Guiyang.
Jiang Qiang came to Renhe County today to visit Boss Hua of Moutai, and after discussing with Boss Hua about Moutai's investment, the government of Hongkou District of Shanghai invested 100 million US dollars, accounting for 70 percent, the Guiyang Provincial Government accounted for 20 percent, and Boss Hua himself accounted for 10 percent. Tang Juwu and Boss Hua signed a contract accompanied by reporters, and at this time, the chairman of the committee knew why these people in Hongkou District, Shanghai, occupied Zunyi, and they were for this Moutai.
Wang Huimin said, our organization wants to thank you, what do you want, Jiang Qiang said, ask your leaders to write another picture of Qinyuan Spring, snow, just give it to me, Wang Huimin said, it's as simple as that, Jiang Qiang said, I still don't understand me after being my sister for so long, eh, I'm too a failure to be a brother, Jiang Qiang has transformed the county seat of Zunyi, invested more than 50 million yuan here in Zunyi, and transferred 500 tractors to come over, and Zunyi has also undergone earth-shaking changes at this time.
Zunyi is located in the slope area of the transition from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Hunan hills and the Sichuan Basin, with large undulating terrain and complex landform types. The altitude is generally 800~1300 meters, and it is on the second step of the national terrain. The area of Pingba and river valley basins in Zunyi accounts for 6.57%, hills account for 28.35%, and mountains account for 65.08%. The Da Lou Mountain Range stretches from southwest to northeast, becomes a natural barrier, is the watershed of the north and south water systems in the city, and clearly divides Zunyi City into two large areas in the landform: Shannan is one of the main bodies of the Guizhou Plateau, mainly in the low and middle hills and wide valley basins, the general cultivated land is relatively concentrated and contiguous, the land utilization rate is high, and it is the main production area of grain and oil crops.
From the edge of the Wujiang River valley to the Da Lou Mountains, the three-level plateau can be clearly seen: the lowest level is 1000~1200 meters above sea level, the middle level is 1300~1350 meters, and the highest level is 1500~1600 meters. The northern part of the mountain is dominated by the middle mountain valley, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the vertical difference of the mountains is obvious, and the cultivated land is relatively scattered. The south area accounts for 37.6% of the total area of Zunyi, and the north area accounts for 62.4%. According to the genesis, the types of Zunyi landforms can be divided into three categories: dissolution landform area, erosion structure landform area and erosion landform area. Among them, dissolution and erosion tectonic landforms (karst landforms) are the most widely distributed, accounting for about 75% of the land area of Zunyi City. The lowest altitude in Zunyi is at the confluence of Xishui River and Chishui River at the junction of Chishui City and Hejiang County of Sichuan Province, with an altitude of 221 meters; The highest place is Niujiaozhai in Baizhiba Qinba Nature Reserve in Tongzi County, with an altitude of 2,227 meters, and it is the highest peak of the Daloushan Mountain Range.
The Da Lou Mountain Range forms the main skeleton of the city's topography. This mountain range starts from Bijie in the west and extends to Sichuan Province in the northeast, which is not only the watershed of the Wujiang River system and the Chishui River, but also the boundary mountain between the Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. It spans a section in the middle of the city, showing an arc that protrudes to the south and the east, with an altitude of 1500~2000 meters, and the relative height difference is more than 500 meters. The famous Loushan Pass, on the backbone of the main vein of the Loushan Mountain, the east and west sides are the small Jianshan towering, the momentum is magnificent, the ancients called this pass "ten thousand peaks insert into the sky, the middle pass through the first line", it is very dangerous, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight. The pass is 1,226 meters above sea level, and the north-south elevation difference is 400 meters.
At this time, the University Games also ended successfully, Shanghai's college student group won the first place, Sichuan ranked second, the next University Games was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia, Shanghai sponsored 100 million US dollars to Ma Hongkui for the construction of gymnasiums and sports cities, and all cities in Ningxia held large-scale celebrations.
There is also the first batch of Moutai Distillery liquor is also in the packaging, Moutai liquor quality is crystal clear and transparent, slightly yellow, the sauce fragrance is prominent, intoxicating, open cup does not drink, the aroma is tangy, drink freely, full of fragrance, empty cup after drinking, the fragrance is greater, and it lasts for a long time. The taste is elegant and delicate, the wine is full and mellow, the aftertaste is long, and the thatch is endless. Moutai liquor is pure, transparent, mellow and lush, and is formed by the fusion of three special flavors: sauce aroma, cellar bottom aroma, and mellow sweetness.
At this time, the German government also retaliated against the government of Hongkou District, Shanghai, that is, all the personnel involved in military research were withdrawn to Germany and all contacts with Hongkou District. Jiang Qiang did not pay any attention to the German government's approach and did not express his position at all, and at this time, the Red Party had already issued a proposal that it would no longer oppose the chairman, but unite with the chairman to resist Japan.
After the "September 18 Incident" in 1931, the Japanese imperialist aggression against China continued to deepen, and China's political situation was also very complicated. In the war between the Nanjing government and the Gui, the chairman of the National People's Congress dealt a heavy blow to the Xingui faction, which was in full swing, and weakened the Xingui faction from a political faction that could influence the whole country to a powerful local faction. Subsequently, in the Central Plains War, he defeated other powerful factions within the Nanjing government, such as Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army and Yan Xishan of the Jin Sui Army, and so on, consolidating his reputation and political position of the Nanjing government and the central government of Nanjing. Taking advantage of the objective factor of the Northeast Army's loss of base areas after the "September 18 Incident," the chairman gradually encroached on and controlled the Northeast Army, and penetrated its influence into the southwestern provinces by encircling and suppressing the Red Party. The chairman's central military system's step-by-step attack on the local powerful factions and the attack of the invading Japanese army on the local powerful factions have aroused a strong backlash from the powerful factions in various localities.
The relationship between the Shin-Katsura and Japan in the early days was complicated. In all the anti-chairman wars, the Xingui faction accepted a large number of Japanese weapons and Japanese military instructors, and was denounced as pro-Japanese by public opinion circles. However, Bai Chongxi, the leader of the Xingui faction, defended himself on the grounds of "riding and shooting in Hufu" and "hitting others in the mouth with other people's fists". In 1936, Li Zongren, the leader of the Xingui faction, publicly published the "Scorched Earth War of Resistance", attacking the "inaction" of the chairman of the Central Committee at that time, causing China to enter a state of "immortality and lifelessness", and claiming that the whole of China must "scorched earth war of resistance". Although Li Zongren's move contained strong dissatisfaction with Japan's aggression, it also had the intention of attacking the chairman of the NPC Central Committee for constantly pressing on local powerful factions. Subsequently, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi published articles on several occasions, attacking the chairman of the Central Committee for its inaction against Japan, and claiming that the local powerful factions were willing to jointly send troops to resist Japan. At the same time, the Xingui faction also secretly echoed the Red Party and attacked the chairman in the name of resisting Japan. However, the Central Committee of the Nanjing Government insisted that "if we want to fight abroad, we must first secure the interior," insisting that only after reunifying the whole country can we go all out to counter Japan's aggression. The chairman of the NPC committee also sent people to lobby Chen Jitang, a political ally of the Xingui faction, in an attempt to get Chen Jitang's cooperation and eliminate the Xingui faction in one fell swoop.
At the end of 1935, Chen Jitang sent people to Nanjing to report on his work. The chairman of the NPC committee revealed to him the principles and policies for resolving the new Gui system, and demanded Chen Jitang's cooperation, and at the same time expelled all anti-chairman forces in Guangdong. When Chen Jitang learned about it, he was very suspicious, believing that once the new Gui faction failed, the Yue faction would not be able to avoid the fate of being swallowed up by the chairman. Therefore, he took the initiative to contact the Xingui system and oppose the Nanjing government together.
On May 12, 1936, Hu Hanmin, a veteran of the Nanjing government, an anti-chairman faction, and the nominal leader of the Cantonese faction (the real power belonged to Chen Jitang), died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Taking advantage of Hu Hanmin's death, the chairman of the NPC National Committee immediately announced five proposals: First, abolish the semi-independent status of the two Guangzhous; second, to send someone to replace Hu Hanmin's position in the Guangdong Provincial Government and reorganize the Guangdong Provincial Government; Third, the original Cantonese figures were willing to work in Nanjing at will, and were unwilling to be funded by the central government to go overseas for investigation; Fourth, the commanders of all divisions of the Guangdong Army are uniformly appointed by the Military Commission; Fifth, the Guangdong currency will be abolished and the legal tender will be unified. These five proposals are intended to bring power in Guangdong back to the central government. As soon as the five suggestions came out, they immediately caused a strong backlash from Chen Jitang. Chen Jitang was unwilling to sit still, and immediately contacted the Xingui faction and decided to jointly send troops to the north to counterattack the chairman of the committee.
In mid-September, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee mobilized troops to prepare for the armed settlement of the two provinces. The Guangdong and Guizhou armies, on the other hand, dispatched 300,000 troops, more than 100 aircraft, and more than 20 inland river ships to attack Hunan first. But at that time, He Jian had already thrown himself into the central government, and worked with the central army to prevent the two armies of Guangdong and Guangxi. The two armies of Guangdong and Guizhou were suspended in southern Hunan and did not advance again. The chairman of the NPC National Committee has been cultivating anti-Chen forces in Guangdong for many years. As soon as the two Guangxi were in trouble, Yu Hanmou, commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, secretly contacted the chairman of the committee, and then issued a telegram announcing his return to the central authorities. The chairman of the committee promised that after the reversal, the strength of the Guangdong army was greatly damaged. The three leaders of the new Gui faction hurriedly met with Chen Jitang to discuss, unify the military and government, finance, and arrange the already unstable Guangdong army on the inner line, while the Gui army on the outer line.
On October 13, the Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Nanjing Government resolved to abolish the Southwest Executive Department, and the Military Commission announced the removal of Chen Jitang from his post and replaced him with Yu Han. At the same time, in order to divide Yuegui, it was announced that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's positions remained unchanged. However, the new Gui faction was not fooled, and tried his best to support Chen Jitang, suggesting that Chen Jitang immediately grasp the money, food, weapons and reliable troops, retreat to western Guangdong, with his back to the Gui faction, and at the same time prepare to send the Gui army into Guangdong to stabilize the situation in Guangdong, but the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
On July 14, Yu Hanmou issued an ultimatum to Chen Jitang, asking Chen Jitang to leave Guangdong within 24 hours, and at the same time send troops to attack Guangzhou. Bai Chongxi immediately telegraphed to Chen Jitang that the situation was critical, and advised Chen Jitang to spare no money and use money and official positions as bait to quickly stabilize the morale of the army. However, only one day later, Chen Jitang's Guangdong Air Force, under the leadership of Commander Huang Guangrui, all went north to join the chairman, and Chen Jitang was already disheartened and determined to go into the wilderness, so he no longer paid attention to Bai Chongxi's proposal. On the 18th, after making proper arrangements for transitional government and military affairs, Chen Jitang went to Hong Kong and faded out of politics. Chen Jitang's closest confidant, Chen Hanguangshi, was ordered by Chen Jitang to enter Gui, and attached hundreds of thousands of yuan in military expenses. However, Chen Hanguangshi was unwilling to enter Gui and was absorbed by Yu Hanmou's department, so far, Chen Jitang's power in Guangdong was uprooted, except for hundreds of thousands of military expenses owned by the Xingui family, all of which were taken over by Yu Hanmou.
After Chen Jitang fell, the chairman of the NPC committee immediately threatened the Xingui faction, Gu Zhutong led Xue Yue and other troops to advance from Guizhou, Yu Hanmou's troops advanced from the Leizhou Peninsula, Chen Cheng's troops went up the Xijiang River, and He Jian's Hunan army spied on Guilin from the Hunan and Guizhou borders, and the situation of the Xingui system was critical. The Xingui department immediately mobilized the province's reserve troops to prepare for the battle with the militia system, and the formed army expanded its strength to 44 regiments, and there were still nearly 100,000 local militia regiments. A total of about 200,000 troops, according to the danger. At the same time, in order to win the support of public opinion, all Japanese instructors and advisers within the Gui Army were expelled. Because the Xingui faction is different from the Cantonese faction, a group organization with Li Bai and the others as the core was formed in the process of its formation, and the centripetal force was very stable, and the chairman's bribery and differentiation of the Xingui faction was unsuccessful, and there was actually no chairman of the committee voted by military and political figures within the Xingui faction. On October 15, the Nanjing government sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi would be transferred abroad, and they would be promoted and secretly demoted, but at the same time, Huang Shaohong, who originally belonged to the Xingui faction but had already been put in the chairmanship of the committee as early as the Central Plains War, was in charge of Guangxi, in an attempt to divide the Xingui faction. Li Bai and the others refused to take up their posts, while Huang Shaohong secretly communicated with the Gui family, and actually publicly expressed his unwillingness to take office. The Liangguang incident reached an impasse.
At this time, General Tang Juwu delivered a speech: Under the current situation of the great enemy, the people of the whole country should unite to jointly resist the foreign enemy, order all the troops to return to their original positions, and put the overall situation first, the governor of Guangxi Province is still Li Zongren, the chief of staff Bai Chongxi, all the Hunan troops have returned to Hunan, all the Nanjing government troops have returned to Jiangxi, Lai San Army Corps is not allowed to participate in any party's actions for the time being, Yu Hanmou, governor of Guangdong Province, has taken up the post of stepping up military training for the sake of the overall situation, and the pace of Japan's war of aggression against China is not far off.
At this time, those warlords and the Nanjing government were stupid, He Jian's army immediately withdrew all the troops as soon as Tang Juwu spoke, and Chen Chengbu did not withdraw to Nanchang in accordance with the deployment of the chairman, and a crisis came to naught, the chairman scolded Tang Juwu Niang Xipi in Nanjing for meddling in his affairs, and at this time, Tang Juwu explicitly asked the people of the two provinces to start expelling all the Japanese, the war is not far away, those people are all members of the Japanese special high school every minute, if you don't do it, The Burmese army has done it for you, and the deadline is one month without giving any reason, and there are other provinces that have to follow the order. The Nanjing government and the Japanese government were also dumbfounded, this was the threat, and the army of Liangguang had to do so when it was faced with a threat, and Yu Hanmou confiscated all the property of the Japanese even more, and all the Japanese could only take their belongings and drive them all to Hong Kong, and the warships in Shanghai were already cruising in the waters of Guangdong at this time, and Yu Hanmou made a lot of money in this operation, which is said to have more than 100 million US dollars.
