Chapter 626: How much does a pound of face cost?

At noon on December 30, 1931, An Yi left Xufu in southern Sichuan on the orders of the Central Military Commission and returned to the capital Nanjing to attend the special meeting of the Central Committee held at the end of the year.

After Chiang Kai-shek resigned from power and returned to Fenghua Xikou, Lin Sen got his wish and became the chairman of the government. Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke, who had been running around for many years, took control of the party and government power respectively. Only the General Headquarters and the disintegrated Military Commission, which were disbanded by Chiang Kai-shek, were left.

An empty shelf.

Despite this, Zhu Peide, a member of the Central Committee and Governor of Yunnan Province, An Yi, an alternate member of the Central Committee and deputy director of the Military Staff Headquarters, and others had to attend the Central Committee meeting to maintain the legitimacy of the Nanjing Republic of China government, otherwise they would be criticized in public opinion.

People make excuses and use them to criticize.

Zhu Peide's private jet, like An Yi's, is a six-seat German Junkers transport aircraft. It was given to Zhu Peide by An Yi as a gift for his return to his hometown and his 43rd birthday. Zhu Peide also took this opportunity to start building his own private jet.

Our own aviation force, because the Minjiang Airport in Xufu (formerly Caiba Airport, Caiba Village has been officially renamed Minjiang Village due to the increase in population) is being expanded at this time, and is located in the west of Xufu City and the Minjiang Bridge in the east of the airport.

At

The First Bridge of the Yangtze River in the east of the city and the Jinsha River Bridge across the Jinsha River in the south of the city are under construction at the same time. It will take half a year to have an aviation school and the airport of the aviation brigade of the Southern Sichuan Garrison Command to be completed and put into use. At present, Zhu Peide's 38th Army and Yunnan

Eighty pilots and ground staff carefully selected by the Provincial Security Command are studying at the aviation school in Gancheng, western Hunan. The eight brothers who fly and maintain aircraft for Zhu Peide are temporarily transferred from the aviation school by An Yi.

After Zhu Peide was busy organizing the ministries of the Yunnan government, he first tried his best to restore the Yunnan Lecture Hall in Kunming City, but he still sent more than 300 young officers and soldiers under his command to the Army Sergeant School in old Nanchang for training.

From this bit by bit, we can see the close relationship between An Yi and Zhu Peide, and the inseparable brotherhood between An Jiajun and the brothers in the Yunnan Army.

There is an interesting thing that not only Zhu Peide is confused about, but also Shi Zhen, commander of the 43rd Army of Western Guizhou and Zhang Hongluan of the 44th Army of Western Hunan, who are closely connected by mountains and rivers and are as close as brothers to An Yi's subordinates. They still can't figure it out.

Know the specific number of Anjiajun.

Starting from August this year, the Central Military Commission ordered that all the garrison headquarters in the country be unified into security headquarters, and the garrison force was renamed the security force. Only the southern Sichuan region under An Yi's jurisdiction remained indifferent and still used the illegal name of the garrison headquarters.

When security forces from various provinces and places put on gray or black uniforms, An Yi's security guards

The troops are still the same as the regular divisions of the Central Army, wearing yellow-green uniforms. When training, fighting, and working, they wear camouflage uniforms with increasingly advanced production and design, coupled with newly developed green thickened canvas belts, pendants and camouflage

Soft hats and canvas uppers of high-top rubber shoes are also made of camouflage cloth. Only the newly formed police force uses black uniforms.

As a result of this unintentional intervention, Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang and others in central Sichuan did not know how many regular troops there were in An Yi's southern Sichuan area. Walking on the streets or on the roads in the wild, all they could see were regular officers and soldiers.

Even the engineering corps, which has more than 50,000 people, is dressed like the regular army. The engineering corps of the Anjia Army

In addition to not being equipped with light and heavy machine guns and artillery, it is equipped with machine guns, rifles, and pistols. It has more military transport vehicles than Yin Jinan's 24th Army regular division. Outsiders are even more confused about how many troops have been assembled in southern Sichuan.

Worried outsiders generally predict that An Yi's garrison in southern Sichuan will not be less than 130,000.

Another very important reason why An Yi is rushing back to Nanjing this time is that thousands of new and used vehicles purchased by Zhang Xi from the United States will arrive one after another. The first batch of 1,000 vehicles will pass through the Yangtze River within three days. Poyang Lake was unloaded at the old Nanchang pier to facilitate the unified assembly of Jiangnan Automobile Factory, and then unified sales by Jiangnan Group. Thousands of various cars that were later shipped due to Chiang Kai-shek's resignation and Song Ziwen's resignation, An Yi urgently called Zhang Xi not It needs to be broken down and shipped directly, and it must be transported to the country as quickly as possible. An Yi wants to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to openly import without paying a penny of tax. Instead of paying these millions of taxes to a weak and powerless agency, Wang Jingwei, who is bloated and has his own agenda, is not as direct and effective as An Yi himself controlling it to benefit the people in the hands of the Sun Ke government.

After An Yi arrived in Nanjing, he said goodbye to Gong Qian, Ye Qing, and Zi Xin who had returned home satisfied with the sight of the mountains and rivers in the southwest of the motherland. After joking and joking with Zi Xin, who had lost her beauty due to airsickness again, he let Chen Yu After driving them back, he led Shen Fengdao into another car and drove directly to Zhu Peide's mansion by Xuanwu Lake.

Zhu Peide was known for his hard work and hard work in the Nanjing government. After he returned to Yunnan at the beginning of the year and took office as the provincial chairman, his mansion was still preserved. No one dared to provoke him easily. A squad of confidant guards were stationed in Nanjing. When they had nothing to do, they would go to Houzai Lane to meet him. The brothers from An Yi's office and the military station had a small gathering, and they had a very harmonious relationship with each other. Therefore, the guards of the Zhu Mansion saw the familiar military license plate from a distance, opened the door early, saluted An Yi, and respectfully informed Yi Gong I went to a meeting early in the morning and should be back soon. Please invite An Yi and the two of them to the living room to have tea and wait.

An Yi smiled and waved his hand and said that his brother didn't need to go to so much trouble. He got out of the car and walked to the stone table next to the purple bamboo forest, and sat down casually. The deft guards quickly served him tea. An Yi and Shen Feng said After chatting for a while about the special meeting of the Central Committee that was going to be held tomorrow morning, we heard the sound of a car driving into the courtyard. As soon as the car stopped, Zhu Peide, wearing a military uniform, got out of the car door, followed by his long-lost brother Zhan Huanqi.

An Yi and Shen Fengdao's eyes lit up, and they hurried forward to salute and greet each other with spring breeze. Zhu Peide laughed with a red face. He was a little thinner but his mental state was much better than before, so he heard An Yi's salute and He was very happy with the compliment and even turned around to show An Yi whether he was energetic or not.

After greeting each other for a while, they sat down and drank some tea. Zhu Peide did not say too many polite words and went through the details of the current central government:

The just-concluded First Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a resolution to appoint Lin Sen as Chairman of the National Government, Sun Ke as President of the Executive Yuan, and Chen Mingshu as deputy; Zhang Ji as President of the Legislative Yuan, and Qin Zhen as deputy; Wu Chaoshu as President of the Judicial Yuan, He appointed Dai Chuanxian as the dean of the Examination Yuan and Liu Luyin as his deputy; appointed Yu Youren as the dean of the Supervisory Yuan and Ding Weifen as his deputy. He also recommended Chiang Zhongzheng, who had been out of office, Wang Zhaoming, who was in the limelight, and Hu Hanmin as the deputy. The Standing Committee of the Central Political Conference also elected Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Zhongzheng, Yu Youren, Ye Chuqian, Gu Mengyu, Ju Zheng, Sun Ke, Chen Guofu, Zhu Peide and others as members of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee. Li Wenfan was specially appointed as Minister of the Interior , Chen Youren is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, He Yingqin is the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Chen Shaokuan is the Minister of the Navy, Chen Mingshu is also the Minister of Transportation, Zhu Jiahua is the Minister of Education, Luo Wenqian is the Minister of Justice and Administration, Huang Hanliang is the Minister of Finance, and Chen Gongbo is the Ministry of Industry Ministers, Ye Gongchuo is the Minister of Railways, Shi Qingyang is the chairman of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, and Liu Ruiheng is the chairman of the Anti-Smoking Committee. An Yi's uncle Li Jishen is specially appointed as the chief of staff and training director, and Tang Shengzhi is the president of the Military Senate.

In order to balance the forces of all parties, the Central Standing Committee also recommended Wu Tiecheng, Shao Yuanchong, Zhang Zhiben, and Zhou Qigang as chairman of the Organization, Propaganda, Popular Movement, and Overseas Party Affairs Committee.

However, on the surface, the current Nanjing government seems to have unlimited glory. The Kuomintang elders and political leaders such as Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke unite to govern the country in the name of justice. However, in fact, because there is no money in the treasury to repay the debt, the government

It is difficult to implement and carry out affairs, Dai Chuanxian

(Dai Jitao), Yu Youren and other elders were not in a good mood when they saw the chaos. As soon as the meeting was over, they immediately took leave and went to Shanghai to recuperate. Other officials who supported Chiang Kai-shek also dispersed for one reason or another. Sun Ke and Wang Jingwei just wanted to write a bad check.

It's difficult, let alone controlling the army.

When An Yi heard this, he asked with a smile: "Since the situation is so bad, why should we hold a meeting? Wouldn't it be better to save some money and do practical things?"

"You don't understand this. The more this happens, the more Wang Zhaoming and the others have to hold meetings to declare their leadership and presence." Zhu Peide said with a smile: "If it weren't for the deep friendship between brother Zi Chao (Lin Sen) and the others, they would call again and again.

Request, I have just returned to Kunming for two days and my heart has not stabilized yet. How can I fly to Nanjing again? It’s nothing for me to come. At best, it is just to prop up the facade and let the provincial officials

After seeing the example and setting an example, the military leaders had to come in person, but you, nephew, are different. Wang Zhaoming and Sun Zhesheng (Sun Ke) had spoken privately before summoning Liu Jingfu of the Kaifeng camp and the directors of other camps.

It doesn’t matter if the generals holding heavy troops are not present, General An Yi must be invited to attend, you didn’t expect this, right? Now your An Yi’s status and influence have made all parties look up to him, haha!”

An Yi asked a little strangely: "Wang Zhaoming and Sun Zhesheng's nephew have only met a few times. They just said hello and nodded to each other. From the time they met to the present, they have not spoken more than ten sentences in total. Furthermore,

"My nephew is neither a high-ranking member of the party nor the commander of an army. He is just a nominal alternate member of the Central Committee and deputy chief of staff. How can my nephew He De be worthy of being condescended to be summoned by the new leader of the country?"

"Do you really don't know or are you just pretending to be confused?" Zhu Peide looked sideways at An Yi displeased.

An Yi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "Is it because they are interested in the wealth of our Jiangxi Industrial and Commercial Bank that Wang Zhaoming and the others want to borrow money?"

Zhu Peide put his hands on his hands and laughed: "You guys, you still have the same bad temper, haha! That's it! I just got off the plane this morning, and Brother Lin, Wang Zhaoming, Sun Zhesheng and more than a dozen Central Committee officials arrived at the airport

Welcomed me and pulled me into Ding’s house without saying anything.

The Qiao Party Headquarters greeted me politely, first asked about the situation in Yunnan and then congratulated me, and then complained to me, saying that Brother Jieshi's predecessors, Finance Minister Song, Mr. Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi), the Minister of Economic Affairs, and others also resigned, leaving a group of people behind.

Ass caused by bad debts

The new government has a big problem. Not only does it have no money in the national treasury, but it also owes more than 40 million yuan in debt. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols are arrogant. Not only do they not support the new government, some people even go to the door to ask for debts in a roundabout way. They asked me how the financial situation in Yunnan is and whether it can be done.

Support the Central Committee 1 and 2?

Of course, I complained endlessly, and even took out the two million yuan promised by the central government to support the stable development of Yunnan, and asked the new Finance Minister Huang Hanliang when he would cash it for me in Yunnan. The whole room was immediately filled with sighs, and everyone had a sad face, haha...

"

Everyone laughed heartily, and Zhu Peide continued: "Wang Zhaoming is a veteran after all! Not only was he not unhappy at all, but he praised Yunnan's economic construction and development, talking about you, my nephew.

…”

"Hey, what does this have to do with me?" An Yi was surprised.

Zhu Peide sighed: "Yes, at first I thought it had nothing to do with you. In my heart, I thought that the all-round cooperation between our father and son had been discovered by Wang Zhaoming. Who knew that was not the case at all? He praised you for being unified.

You have made outstanding contributions to Southwest China and compared you to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing

, the evaluation given could not be higher, and then he said helplessly that your great achievements have not received the recognition they deserve, your brilliant talents have not been given a stage, and your ingenuity has not been showcased. Then he changed his voice and made a loud suggestion.

I recommend you for the position of training director, and I won’t let you manage it.

Brother Ren Chao, the chief of staff of Wanji, is so tired of taking the concurrent position, and he also said that he would recommend you as a member of the Central Executive Committee at the next meeting. Brother Lin and Sun Zhesheng echoed incessantly and praised you endlessly. After praising you, Finance Minister Huang Hanliang

Quietly ask me how many shares I still have in Jiangxi Industrial and Commercial Bank of China? I

Only then did I realize that the purpose of promoting you so much was to borrow money from you! I said that those shares had been transferred to the Feng family in Shanghai a long time ago, but I didn’t say whether you transferred them or not, and how much was left in your hands! Xian

Nephew, it seems that now you, the God of Wealth, have more face than this old guy like me! Haha..."

An Yi saw Zhu Peide succeeding like this. He laughed instead of being angry and shook his head frequently: "It's damn stupid, I say, the telegram urged me so urgently...Uncle De, you also know that if my nephew is willing to be the training director, as early as one day

Years ago, Uncle He (He Yaozu) strongly recommended Principal Jiang for his advice, so I took him in. The man named Wang first used a false name to deceive me, thinking that I would help him because he wanted to give me face. How ridiculous!

This grandson is so damn naive. I’m afraid it’s more accurate to say he’s thick and dark. Now I value strength rather than face. How much does face cost per pound? Looking around, aren’t the large number of elders who followed the former Prime Minister alive now?

Do you have to be dejected? Wang Zhaoming claims to be the successor of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, why don’t you give face to these founders? You want to lie to me, Wang Jingwei, a traitor, will never be able to do it in this life, haha!"

The brothers laughed heartily, but Zhu Peide frowned and warned with some displeasure: "My dear nephew, please be careful with your words. Even if you look down on him, Wang Zhaoming, you shouldn't call him a traitor hated by all people! This word

It’s really a lack of consideration, you have to pay attention to it in the future!”
