Chapter 969 The shortcomings and strategies of Zhuzi
Li Jishen came. During this period, Li Jishen was in Fujian with Chen Mingshu, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and others to discuss the establishment of the revolutionary government of the Republic of China, and sent people to delineate the national border with the Red Army and sign an anti-Chiang and anti-Japanese military agreement. When things were busy, Li Jishen came from Li Jishen
From the urgent telegram sent by Zong Ren, he learned that An Yi, shouldering the mission of the Nanjing central government and Chiang Kai-shek, would secretly arrive in Liuzhou to mediate on November 2. After repeated thinking, Li Jishen decided to fly from Zhangzhou, Fujian to Guangzhou, and then from Guangzhou
Arrive at Liuzhou.
When the plane arrived over Guiping, night had already fallen. Fortunately, the pilot was an experienced flight captain in the Guangdong Army Aviation Force. He had shuttled back and forth between Guangdong and Guangxi every month for two years, and finally flew Li Jishen to Liuzhou Bailian very smoothly.
At the airport, it was already 8:10 pm when we arrived.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the luxury box on the second floor of the Guixiang Building of "Dragon City Hotel" was bustling with activity. Li Jishen, who had taken a quick shower and put on a dark blue cloud gauze robe, was in the room of the three Guangxi giants Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Xuchu and his nephew An Yi.
Surrounded by people, he sat down reservedly.
Secretary Ye, who was behind Li Jishen, felt very cordial when he saw An Yi, whom he had not seen for a long time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Li Jishen, Li Zongren and others to greet each other, he quietly chatted with An Yi for a while.
An Yi seized the time and asked Secretary Ye, who had a beautiful mustache, to find out the reason for Li Jishen's visit. Secretary Ye looked nervously at Li Jishen, who was talking, and whispered in An Yi's ear. An Yi's heart suddenly
Knowing that, he nodded, affectionately led him to the table next to him, introduced him to Ye Cheng, Zhan Dao, Shen Fengdao and other accompanying brothers. He then apologized to the brothers and returned to sit at the main table where a group of Guangxi clan bosses were sitting.
Down.
"Come here, why are you hiding so far away? Boy, sit here!" Li Jishen saw An Yi sitting opposite with a slight smile, scolded him dissatisfied, and then pointed to the empty chair next to him.
Amidst the kind laughter of Li Zongren and others, An Yi got up and walked over obediently. After thanking him, he slowly sat down and looked at Li Jishen with a playful smile:
"It would be great if you, old man, came half a day early. In the afternoon, Duke De, General Jiansheng, and General Yi March led my nephew to visit Liuhou Temple. If you, old man, were here at that time, my nephew would definitely ask you to compose a poem right away. It would be good, too.
Distract the attention of the generals and cover up my nephew's ignorance."
Everyone heard it interestingly and burst into laughter.
Li Jishen, who was somewhat confused, quickly turned to Li Zongren. Li Zongren hurriedly told Li Jishen briefly the interesting conversation between Bai Chongxi and An Yi in the afternoon. Li Jishen smiled and shook his head, raised his hand and pointed at An Yi, and said to everyone regretfully:
"When this kid first entered Huangpu, many of our instructors knew that he lacked a basic foundation in Chinese studies. His talk was neither big nor small, which was contrary to common sense. He didn't even understand basic titles and common social etiquette. But this kid was smart and quickly adapted to it.
, has done particularly well in recent years, and has made great achievements in the research and innovation of military theory. He has written several books that have been translated by Germans and used as professional teaching materials. However, it would really be difficult for him to recite poems and compose poems.
.”
Only then did Huang Xuchu and a group of civil servants realize that An Yi really didn't mean to shirk that afternoon. I really don't understand how such a person could create so many popular songs? Bai Chongxi laughed: "General An is a practical person.
That's good, as a soldier, you don't need so much romance."
Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu joined in and raised their glasses to toast Li Jishen.
After eating some food and chatting with each other for a while, Li Jishen asked An Yi, who was toasting, to put down his cup first: "Didn't your Southern Sichuan Radio Station say that after attending the Central Administrative Conference, you would go directly to Nanchang to visit the victims and provide guidance on resettlement and repatriation matters?
? Why are you so free and suddenly come to Guangxi as a guest? "
An Yi said with a smile: "My nephew is worried about business matters. I wonder if the three sets of production equipment provided by the Xufu Arsenal to General Yi Xing are useful? Also, since this year, my nephew's Sichuan South Enterprise Group and De Gong's
The smelting company's business is getting bigger and bigger, and my nephew always thinks of Duke De and General Jiansheng in his heart. Taking advantage of the benefits of being a general, he came here to express his gratitude and deepen the relationship with each other."
Li Jishen looked at the proud smiling faces of Li Zongren and the others, turned to An Yi and asked, "Is it that simple? If you come here to express your gratitude, you must bring some tokens of gratitude."
Huang Xuchu quickly explained: "Mr. Ren, Brother An brought a very rich gift this time. Sixty pairs of 'Eagle Brand' eight-fold military telescopes produced by Xufu Precision Instrument Factory, and three 350cc two-wheeled motorcycles produced by South Sichuan Machinery Factory.
He also generously gave us a set of "Zhongzheng Type-1" submachine gun design drawings and a set of "32-year-old new grenade" production technical data from the newly built Liuzhou Arsenal. We are all very grateful for such a heavy gift!
"
Li Jishen was very surprised. He didn't expect An Yi to be so generous to Guangxi, but he didn't know that Yan Xishan and Liu Wenhui received more gifts than Guangxi. He was very pleased when he heard this, nodded frequently, and praised An Yi:
"Well done. It seems that you have learned from your father-in-law's business ethics. Your father-in-law is famous for his generosity and loyalty. I hope you will support the development of industry and commerce in Guangxi in the future. Exchange your needs and work together to make progress."
The way to development.”
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for the tip!"
An Yi nodded, and then asked with deep meaning: "By the way, weren't you still in Zhangzhou, Fujian yesterday, discussing the overall situation with Chen Shuming, Jiang Guangding, and Chen Youren? How come you have time to come to Liuzhou?"
"Eh!? How did you know? Did Chiang Kai-shek tell you?" Li Jishen immediately became alert.
An Yi smiled: "My nephew has been in southern Sichuan for the past few days. He has been so busy organizing the leadership team of the Xufu camp and the Xufu municipal government. Where can I find time to contact Chairman Chiang? Besides, according to our uncle-nephew relationship,
, and the good relationship with the 19th Route Army
Cooperation, Chairman Chiang would not tell me such confidential information. My nephew got the information from his own channels, and also knew that Mr. Huang Fusheng, a member of the Central Committee, had secretly arrived in Hong Kong yesterday afternoon and was probably meeting with Hu Jintao at the moment.
Mr. Hanmin is toasting and drinking."
The three of them, Li Zongren, looked at each other with solemn expressions, and then they all looked at Li Jishen.
Li Jishen seemed very shocked. If Huang Fusheng, the representative sent by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, had really met with Hu Hanmin in Hong Kong, it would indicate that Hu Hanmin, who had always been opposed to Fujian independence, would probably make a decision that would make the alliance of Li Jishen and Chen Shuming
The government has made even more unfavorable major decisions.
"Is your information accurate?" Li Jishen asked worriedly.
An Yi nodded: "Uncle Shi knows Dai Yunong from the Fuxing Society, right?"
"You mean, Dai Li, the deputy director of the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau that He Guiyan is in charge of?" Li Jishen finally understood.
An Yi replied seriously: "It's him. Dai Li has a good personal relationship with his nephew. This morning he sent a telegram from Hong Kong to his nephew, asking his nephew to introduce him to Chen Biao, the chairman of Baode Company in Hong Kong. He wants to rent a Baode company.
I took a cargo ship from a German company to transport a batch of supplies to Shanghai. I also told Xiao Xiao about meeting Mr. Huang Fusheng.
My nephew, Uncle Shi, must have met Chen Biao, who is the boss of Hong Kong's largest civil society, the Hongxing Society. He is from Lincun, an eastern suburb of Guangzhou. When my nephew was still working as a clerk in his father-in-law's Taichang Trading Company, he and Chen Biao were co-workers.
, he went to Xufu to attend the expo last month, I entertained him well and made a few business deals."
Li Jishen let out a long sigh: "I understand! Lao Jiang is really doing everything he can... Tell me about your Xufu camp. The benefits Lao Jiang has given you this time are not small. Wang Zhaoming actually insisted on passing Xufu.
Did you get any bribe from you to upgrade the government to a city?"
An Yi replied with a smile: "Bribery? That doesn't mean...this Yellow River disaster, my nephew and all walks of life in southern Sichuan have made huge contributions. The central government will not fail to see it. Another thing, the central government still owes my nephew a debt."
A large amount of money is overdue and they don't give their nephew any benefits. They are worried that his nephew will follow them every day to collect debts."
Everyone laughed again, but there was another emotion in their hearts - the upgrade of the Xu Mansion to a city and the establishment of the Xu Mansion Camp were not as simple as An Yi said. The upgrade of the Xu Mansion to a city was nothing more than that.
Sub-provinces directly under the central government
The only advantage of the first-class treatment is that Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui and his like will have no excuse to get involved in the Xufu in the future. From now on, the Anyi Group can legitimately govern the counties in southern Sichuan. But the establishment of the Xufu camp is different.
He became a ministerial-level military authority directly under the direct jurisdiction of Chairman of the Military Commission Chiang Kai-shek, which meant that An Yi once again gained Chiang Kai-shek's trust, and his political status and military power were upgraded to another level, and he was on an equal footing with the governors or chairman of each province.
In one fell swoop, An Yi entered the ranks of the feudal officials, and with An Yi holding the real power of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Central Military Commission, he became one of the core leaders of the central government and the army. He was no longer just a separatist warlord with money and territory.
.
Bai Chongxi shook his fan and smiled slightly: "Brother An, it's not easy! In just a few years, you have broken out into a vast world. I am gratified!"
An Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "General Jiansheng has given you the award! In fact, An Yi knows very well that without the respectful teachings of his predecessors and the strong support of allies from all sides in Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou, even if An Yi had three heads and six arms, he would not be where he is today.
Everything. In terms of qualifications, An Yi is just a junior; in terms of merits, everyone here is the hero of the country's unification and the Republic of China.
The founder of the new government; in terms of strength, except for money, no one is worse than An Yi. If we really want to say what An Yi is good at, it is just to be one step ahead in business, but in troubled times, you can't live well with more money.
, every time I think of the difficult situation of the country and the nation struggling to survive in the cracks, and think of the tens of millions of Chinese people outside the customs, An Yi tossing and turning, worried!
"At this time of life and death, we have the Japanese invaders in the north who are unceasingly interested in destroying us day and night, and the ferocious British imperialism in the south has been encroaching and dividing our country for decades. To put it bluntly, if a civil war breaks out at this time,
Under An Yi's command
I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. Where will there be any guarantee of survival by then? The top priority is to unite and seek common development, strengthen our military industry, purge our army, and make every effort to increase our war potential and reserves. This is the right thing to do.
Way!"
"Brother An's words may be humble, but they are truly heartfelt!" Li Zongren deeply felt the same. After many ups and downs, Li Zongren, who had made a comeback, knew what hard-earned means.
However, Li Jishen understood An Yi's true meaning from An Yi's emotion. In this way, he hinted that he should not cause trouble in Fujian, but that like An Yi, he should devote himself to development and at least maintain the leadership of the central government on the surface.
, recognize the central government’s ruling power, and turn its energy to the outside world, rather than becoming legally independent from the central government.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi clearly felt Li Jishen's displeasure. The Gui Clan is a united group that advances and retreats together. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Xuchu, the three actual helmsmen of the Gui Clan, are absolutely unwilling to do anything to apologize to fellow Gui Clan members.
The matter of Li Jishen in the camp. Another thing. Over the past year and more, the relationship between Guangdong and Guangxi has
Increasingly harmonious, Li Zongren's Gui Army and Chen Jitang's Guangdong Army have actually become allies. They are friendly forces with the 19th Route Army of Chen Shuming, Jiang Guangding, and Cai Tingkai, who are also from the Guangdong Army. Politically, they are all anti-Chiang and anti-Wang forces.
Even if the same camp does not support Fujian's independence, it will not make life easier for Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei.
However, the most basic principle is how to act, how to declare an attitude and a position in this complicated current situation, and what is most beneficial to Guangxi.
Seeing the silence, Bai Chongxi stood up and said loudly: "Brother An, everyone here today are all relatives and friends. The wine table is not a formal occasion. You can say whatever you want without any scruples, right? Brother An
Taking time out of your busy schedule this time
We are very grateful for coming to visit us. In addition to further discussions on deepening cooperation between you and us, it is also indispensable to talk about the impact of the general trend of the world on both you and us. It is rare that we meet at the right time.
Let’s just talk freely.”
"An Yi is young and shallow, how can he dare to try his best? Haha..." An Yi stood up quickly, with a humble smile on his face, but he was so angry that he just wanted to scold me, wondering if you, Xiao Zhuge and Li Delin, had tipped off Uncle Shi.
Why did Li Jishen rush here from Fujian in such a hurry? Isn't this intentional to embarrass me? I haven't said a word to Chiang Kai-shek yet, but you are dealing with me in such a cunning and cunning way, and you are so beautiful in what you say, thank you for your work!
Li Zongren took An Yi to sit down and said kindly: "Brother An, you are so humble. How many people in the world have the ability to judge the situation and have the foresight of my brother? Brother An started from scratch and created the great business he has today. How many people in the world are there?
Is it possible?"
Li Jishen frowned, his eyes coldly roaming An Yi's face: "What? You have to ask me to beg you?"
An Yi quickly put away his smile: "What did Uncle Shi say? It's just...it's okay to lead troops to fight, but when it comes to three or four groups joining forces vertically and horizontally, my nephew's brains are not enough.
Used..."
"Haha! I was about to learn General An's opinions on combat. Someone... hang up the map!" Bai Chongxi sent someone to get the map before An Yi could react.
An Yi was stunned and shook his head repeatedly, thinking quickly in his mind. He felt that what Bai Chongxi was waiting for was his words, and he believed that privately, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren must be concerned about the situation in Fujian and the various measures taken by all parties to unite them.
The development direction and serious consequences have been repeatedly calculated and deduced, including how to compete with Chiang Kai-shek's conquest army militarily. Otherwise, Bai Chongxi would not have reacted so quickly and put himself on the chopping board in one sentence.
The two Gui Military Colonels quickly brought the map and nailed the huge southeast map to the snow-white wall with thumbtacks. The generals and colonels at the two tables stood up one after another. When they saw Bai Chongxi politely asking An Yi to "give him advice", they both
Slowly moving to the map, he surrounded several bosses of the Guangxi clan and the helpless An Yi, waiting attentively, hoping to see what clever plan An Yi, a famous general at home and abroad, had to come up with to deal with the central government's conquest.
An Yi looked at Li Jishen helplessly: "Uncle Shi, do you really want your nephew to show his shame?"
"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to beg you too?" Li Jishen glared at An Yi.
An Yi gritted his teeth, strode to the map, and asked the staff officer beside him for a thick charcoal pen. The staff officer quickly agreed and quickly sent a thick marker pen. An Yi took the pen and drew a line on the map.
Then he pointed the tip of the pen at Zhangzhou and drew a thick, winding line extending to Shantou. He turned around, returned the pen to the staff officer, and said loudly: "An Yi has finished speaking."
Everyone was surprised. There was nothing visible on the map except two long black lines, one horizontal and one vertical. They didn't know what kind of medicine An Yi was selling in the gourd.
Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu couldn't see Mingtang either, but Bai Chongxi kept staring at the map with a smile on his face, seemingly vaguely aware of An Yi's intentions.
Li Jishen became even more unhappy when he saw An Yi being so irresponsible: "What do you mean? What do these two lines represent? Is this how you, An Yi, have been fighting for so many years?"
An Yi said apologetically: "Uncle Shi, please don't be angry when I told you... This arc-shaped horizontal line connects Ninghua, Nanping, Gutian, and Ningde from west to east, which means that the 19th Route Army General
Near this line, the Central Army struggled to resist the conquest of Fujian. This straight line extending from Zhangzhou to Shantou is the escape route that my nephew drew in advance for Uncle Shi. The nephew did not draw the sea route.
By then, the navy loyal to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek will have blocked all the sea lanes of the Fujian troops. Even if they want to escape by water, they will have no choice but to get to Shantou. Shantou is not far from Hong Kong and can be easily solved by a small fishing boat.
In the past, when General Huang Jikuan and Shi Shu sent troops to encircle and suppress the August 1 Nanchang riots, it was from here that Zhou Enlai and others who were desperate fled to Hong Kong."
Everyone opened their mouths in shock. Li Jishen turned red with anger. He pointed at An Yi's nose and cursed, "It's not enough to make a fool of myself." He turned around and walked away angrily.
Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu hurriedly caught up, trying to persuade and comfort them all the way. Bai Chongxi suppressed his laughter and stood in front of An Yi. An Yi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Look, it's all your fault."
Bai Chongxi couldn't help it anymore and covered his mouth and laughed heartily. Ye Cheng couldn't help laughing even when he was a few people.
