The Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China finally reached a consensus on the fourth day of the meeting. Chiang Kai-shek gained control of the power of the party, government and military as he wished. The first thing after completing all the work was to issue an announcement in the form of a resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and veto it.
The "Eight Proposals" put forward by Zhang Xueliang during the Xi'an Incident.
Two days later, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China quickly passed the "Eradication of Red Disaster". The main contents include: 1. Completely abolishing the Red Army and other armed forces under disguised names, and unifying the military order establishment of the national armed forces; 2. Completely abolishing the so-called Soviet government, and all
Destroy unified organizations and political power; third, fundamentally stop Red propaganda; fourth, fundamentally stop class struggle.
The series of resolutions of the Third Session of the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China meant that there was no room for coordination between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. People from all walks of life in the country, who had been eagerly hoping to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world, once again fell into hesitation and confusion.
The only thing that can bring comfort to the people across the country is a series of achievements in national construction. Following the opening of the long-distance telephone network in the southwestern provinces, the long-distance telephone project from Xufu to Chongqing to Xi'an was completed and put into use; the Neijiang-Chongqing section of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is progressing smoothly; Kunming
Wireless communication with Nanjing, Shanghai, and Xi'an has been successfully realized; the highway network in the counties in western Hubei and the highway network in Chongqing have been basically completed, with a construction and expansion mileage of more than 7,000 kilometers, from Wuhan to Changsha, from Wuhan to Yichang, from Yichang to Chongqing, and from Chongqing to
The opening of six national highways including Qijiang has brought vitality to the economic development of more than 70 counties along the way.
The only remaining important resolution that brought the greatest reputation to the Communist Party government and Chiang Kai-shek was the solemn announcement by the newly elected President of the Communist Party of China, Chiang Kai-shek, at the closing ceremony:
From now on, free speech and free speech, gather talents to strengthen the country's economic construction and national defense, and pardon terrorists to give them a chance to rehabilitate themselves.
This announcement undoubtedly allowed people from all walks of life across the country to see the good hope of stopping the civil war and uniting as one. It was also a rare enlightened move since the establishment of the Communist Party of China government. Chinese and foreign newspapers regarded this announcement as a symbol of the Communist Party of China government and the Communist Party of China.
The new president of the Communist Party of China, Chiang Kai-shek, sent a signal of sincerity to all political parties across the country, thus praising the enlightened progress of the Communist Party of China and the Nanjing government. Chiang Kai-shek's dominance quickly became more stable.
Under the seemingly festive situation, the sharp contradiction between the Communist government and the Communist Party has been greatly weakened, but the underground war between the Communist army and the Communist military spy agencies has become fiercer:
On the second day after the meeting, the Communist Party Central Committee and the Nanjing Central Government organized tens of thousands of representatives from all walks of life in Nanjing to jointly hold a ceremony to commemorate the martyrs of Xi'an; Liu Zhi and Shang Zhen held a public trial in Zhengzhou to "*
Seven major spies, including the traitor Zhao Longtian, captured in the "Japanese Secret Service Case" were sentenced to death; two armed escorted Japanese freighters were killed late at night on the 23rd due to "rainy, heavy fog, high waves and strong winds"
A violent collision occurred in the waters near Wenzhou and then sank. Among them, the Nichirin "Nanjin Maru" cargo ship carrying a large amount of gold and silver from Guangzhou was the most important. Thirty-seven crew members and dozens of armed escorts on the two ships were missing.*
The Communist Party of China speculated that the materials and crew members of the two ships had perished at the bottom of the sea. The next morning, after receiving the emergency report, the Japanese Navy quickly dispatched four warships and rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred as quickly as possible through the rain and waves. The Japanese Navy was stationed in Shanghai.
The consular official in Hangzhou quickly delivered a speech, deeply mourning the victims, and sternly warned the Nanjing government and any force not to attempt to obstruct the search and alert operations of the Japanese warships, and to interfere with the "normal rescue" operations of the Japanese salvage ships, otherwise they will be
Consider it a provocation to war.
On the third day after the shipwreck incident, Yin Rugeng, the traitor leader in North China, held a Communist "Communist Rally" in Tianjin, shouting for North China's autonomy, recognizing the "Manchukuo" Communist Party, and encouraging all walks of life in North China to "join hands with the Communist Party".
"Co-prosperity and economic development, and the realization of Sino-Japanese cooperative mineral mining and railway construction throughout North China as soon as possible"; traitor armed forces in the Shanhaiguan area launched frequent attacks on the Chinese garrison and police, killing and wounding more than 20 Chinese garrison, police and customs anti-smuggling personnel;
***All members of the North China Chamber of Commerce Council strongly condemned the Nanjing government and demanded that the Nanjing government "hand over the murderer who assassinated Mr. Hou Wuliang, director of the China-Japan Joint Development Association and president of the Peking Chamber of Commerce." The head of the Peking Secret Service also immediately issued a "stern warning."
, saying that if the subsequent assassinations are not properly resolved and compensated, the Japanese army will retaliate a hundredfold.
The chaotic situation seemed to have no impact on An Yi. In the successive meetings of the Central Executive Committee and the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, An Yi calmly re-appointed himself as the Central Executive Committee and Deputy Chief of the General Staff. An Yi also quickly fulfilled his duties.
My own power and responsibility entered my role, and I began to make adjustments to the relevant departments under my leadership. Everything was done in an orderly manner, quietly and calmly.
Compared with major personnel changes such as Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Li Pinxian taking office as the commander-in-chief, deputy commander, and chief of staff of the Fifth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army respectively, Wang Chonghui officially replacing Zhang Qun as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Zhang Qun being transferred to the Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, An Yi's return did not trigger
Regardless of any debate or propaganda, almost all Chinese and foreign newspapers believe that An Yi's return is a matter of course and is just a normal decision after the change of the core power of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. An Yi has held these two positions before. Originally, according to outside estimates,
, "The King of Diligence" An Yi should receive a higher position and honor.
What the outside world doesn't know is that An Yi has indeed gained greater power. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China and deputy chief of the general staff, An Yi's power has been greatly strengthened: he assists the chairman of the Military Commission in formulating overall military strategic plans and is responsible for the general staff.
The leader of the important military intelligence agency, the Fourth Department of the Ministry, oversees the training of new recruits and the training of the entire army. He serves as the chief supervisory committee of the Army Organization Committee and is responsible for supervising the review of military equipment and military expenditure budgets.
The outside world did not understand that An Yi held three seemingly nominal supervisory positions, and did not pay due attention to it. Many newspapers did not even bother to mention it, but all the generals in the army paid attention to it:
All military units, including the Central Army, not only require An Yi's signature for mobilization and garrisoning, but also must obtain An Yi's signature for equipment replacement and replenishment, troop replenishment, expansion of various ministries, military expenditure applications, etc., otherwise it will be regarded as
There's no point hanging yourself in a hurry.
The underlying reason is that half of this year's national military expenditure budget has to rely on An Yi's mediation and borrowing from everywhere; half of the national military's weapons and equipment needs to be borne by An Yi's arsenal;
The province's recruitment of new soldiers and pre-allocation of training are also fully responsible for the deputy chief of staff, An Yi.
Because of this, An Yi, who holds real power, has quickly become more popular in the army. He is more awe-inspiring than many high-ranking military and political officials. Anyone who dares to offend An Yi will probably be killed with one shot and one bullet.
It is difficult for any soldier to obtain supplies. If he has the ability, he will do the same as various local warlords and get them himself.
On the afternoon of March 9th, An Yi, who had attended the grand awarding ceremony, put away the first-class Baoding Medal and took off his majestic general uniform. He was too late to attend the National Boy Scout School Performance held the next day and rushed to Liuhe Camp.
A banquet was held to entertain five hundred Boy Scouts from southern Sichuan and Yunnan who were stationed here, and they spent a pleasant night with their children.
The next day, An Yi accompanied Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage and flew to Lushan to attend a special meeting of Central Army generals, inspect the conditions of the Lushan training camp, and prepare for talks with Communist representatives in late March.
An Yi was in charge of military reorganization affairs, and together with Zhang Qun and others in charge of the military affairs, he made suggestions for the negotiations between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai.
After the Xi'an Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began normal contact again. The CCP delegation, represented by Zhou Enlai, held six meetings and negotiations with *** negotiators Gu Zhutong and Zhang Chong in Xi'an and Lintong respectively.
During this period, Zhou Enlai, as the former director of the *** Department of Huangpu Military Academy, talked with Huangpu graduates many times, and asked the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to send Chen Geng, a first-term student of Huangpu, to Xi'an to jointly do the work of the Huangpu generals, so as to facilitate the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
went smoothly.
The contents of the conversation between Zhou Enlai and the Huangpu generals were all delivered to Chiang Kai-shek without exception. As the deputy chief of staff in charge of military intelligence, An Yi naturally understood clearly. Even many private meetings that Chiang Kai-shek did not understand, An Yi also
Get secret information.
During the preliminary negotiations, Zhang Chong kindly proposed that the main force of the Red Army could be organized into four divisions and sixteen regiments, and another two unarmed infantry divisions, with a total army strength of 60,000. In order to achieve the expected goals of the peace talks, Yixin
Zhang Chong, who wanted to promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, also suggested that the CCP would best do Chiang Kai-shek's ideological work through Chiang Ching-kuo in the Soviet Union.
However, Chiang Kai-shek rejected Zhang Chong's opinion. On March 8, he sent He Zhonghan, who had committed a crime and had made meritorious service, to Xi'an to assist Zhang Chong. Together with Gu Zhutong, who had received Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, he negotiated again with Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying, members of the CCP delegation.
After fierce bargaining, the two parties finally formed an "eight-point agreement". Among them, the contents of An Yi's affairs are:
The title of the Red Army was cancelled, and it was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army. It was subject to the unified command of the Nationalist Government's Military Commission and Chiang Kai-shek. It was staffed, supplied and supplemented, and treated the same as the Communist Party. Its personnel at all levels were appointed by themselves and submitted to the Military Commission for appointment.
Political training work is liaised by personnel sent by the Military Commission. Its troops are organized into three national defense divisions, including the 6th Brigade, 12th Regiment and other directly subordinate engineering, artillery, communications, baggage and other troops. Above the three defense divisions, there is a certain route army
General Headquarters...
However, the content of this agreement was changed due to the eagerness of He Zhonghan to change it to "The Red Army was reorganized into three divisions with a total of 30,000 people. The political training personnel were sent by the Nanjing government, and deputies at all levels were also appointed by the Nanjing government.
The "elected system" was abolished, "elected ***" was changed to "local ***," and an important clause in the agreement was even deleted that required Ma Bufang's troops to stop attacking the Red Army's Western Route Army.
How could Zhou Enlai agree to such harsh conditions? He believed that continuing negotiations with Gu and He in Xi'an was of no practical significance, and demanded a direct interview with Chiang Kai-shek in order to fundamentally solve the problem.
Zhou Enlai quickly met with Zhang Chong and proposed that the "March 8th Agreement" be sent directly to Chiang Kai-shek. He rejected He Zhonghan's proposal, but said that the two parties' policy of cooperating against Japan and supporting Chairman Chiang would not be shaken by the He Zhonghan case.
Because of this, after repeated thinking, Chiang Kai-shek decided to hold talks with Zhou Enlai to resolve this issue as soon as possible. An Yi was also drawn in and was about to meet Director Zhou, the former Whampoa Military Academy's *** department, whom he had not seen for ten years.
