Chapter 455 Three important military and political tasks
Chapter 455 Three important tasks of military and political affairs
An Yi came to the three-story western-style building where Chiang Kai-shek lived and worked and reported in. He found that Dai Jitao, Cai Yuanpei, Wu Zhihui and Chen Guofu were sitting on the semicircular sofa in the conference room. An Yi greeted them politely and stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
Mi Chu listened quietly to the instructions.
Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Jitao looked at each other and smiled, and gestured with satisfaction to An Yi to sit on the empty sofa beside him: "Sit down first. The important memorial ceremony has been successfully completed. Military affairs, government affairs and party affairs must all get back on track quickly.
From today on, you must not only shoulder the mission of a revolutionary soldier, but also participate in various important tasks such as politics and propaganda as a revolutionary party member, for which you must be fully prepared."
Wu Zhihui, who is known as a political madman, saw An Yi's surprised look, shook his head and smiled: "An Yi, now you still don't understand how hard your principal has cultivated you?"
"Thank you, principal! The students will do their best, but... apart from having a brief knowledge of military affairs, the students know nothing about party and government affairs. They are afraid of failing the expectations of the principal and seniors."
An Yicheng stood up in fear. Chiang Kai-shek's decision was too sudden for him, and he was not mentally prepared enough.
Chen Guofu smiled and said: "Don't be modest. During the military parade in Hankou that day, the rebellious Guangxi general Hu Zongduo publicly jumped out to attack under someone's prior instruction. Wasn't it because of your few words that he turned into a big red face?
You even asked a few questions that were righteous and serious, covering all aspects of military and civil affairs. The implication of being smart and responsive is profound. Even Li Delin almost didn't get off the ground. How can you still say that you know nothing about government and party affairs?
Furthermore, under your painstaking management, all the industries in the small Nanchang County have flourished, the population has skyrocketed, and the total amount of taxes has been nearly twice that of Nanchang City. The scene of prosperity, peace and contentment has been widely praised by all walks of life across the country. This is not a political achievement.
What is it?
You have to change your mind. Don't always think that you are just a general leading troops. Now that the country is unified, everything is waiting for improvement. Party government, military government and civil government are inseparable. In addition to the military aspect, sooner or later you will have to shoulder other responsibilities.
It’s a heavy burden, now is the time to start working hard.”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded and raised his hand to signal An Yi to sit down: "An Yi, you have not let me down. After two years of arduous Northern Expedition, you stood out from thousands of Huangpu students. It was hard-won! You are outstanding in the military.
You have made great achievements and have the talent for politics. This is not only my personal opinion, but also the evaluation of you by many seniors in the Central Party Committee and the Central Government.
Before leaving, Mr. Jing rushed from Shanghai to Nanjing to discuss with us. Mr. Jing said that it is not easy to cultivate reserve talents in the years of war and iron horses. I suggest that you exercise more. We all agree with Mr. Jing. From today on
, you must shoulder the mission of political propaganda and represent myself and the entire revolution.
Military officers and soldiers, publicize the revolutionary truth of the Three People's Principles to people and students from all walks of life in Beijing and Tianjin. In light of the current important tasks of the central government and the party, tell everyone the importance and urgency of dismantling the army, developing the economy, supporting people's livelihood, and reducing taxes and service.
And spread and carry forward our Huangpu spirit widely."
An Yi immediately realized what a group of bosses needed him to do. From the bottom of his heart, An Yi also hoped that as many as three million troops across the country under the banner of the revolutionary army would be disbanded in large numbers to reduce the heavy burden on the people everywhere, so he puffed up his chest and
He agreed immediately: "Thank you to the principal and seniors for their cultivation. Students will obey!"
Chiang Kai-shek and others nodded happily. The elegant Cai Yuanpei leaned out slightly and said kindly to An Yi: "General An, hundreds of representatives of students from various colleges and universities in Peiping have been waiting in the reception hall of the Yingbin Building in front for a long time. Students
We all hope to meet you and communicate with you, a famous general of the Northern Expedition who has made great achievements in the war. No matter how hard we try to persuade you, we can't persuade you to leave. It seems that the general needs to go there in person.
Teachers and students at the Nanjing Military Academy all said that the general was very eloquent and had a very high level of class and speech. No matter how complex the issue was, the general could explain it in simple and profound terms. This was very commendable. I hope the general can also make students from universities in Beijing and Tianjin feel that
Satisfied, let young people appreciate the style of Huangpu's young soldiers."
"Sir, you are so complimentary! An Yi really doesn't have a few drops of ink in his stomach. He can barely cope with talking about marching and fighting and discussing military tactics. If An Yi is allowed to communicate with elites from universities in Beijing and Tianjin, maybe An Yi can learn every idiom and allusion.
Yi was dejected and refused to come to Taiwan." An Yi blushed and looked quite restrained.
Cai Yuanpei and others laughed, and Chiang Kai-shek also gave a rare grin. Wu Zhihui said nonchalantly: "An Yi, with your military attainments and eloquence, how can you be frightened by a group of delicate and powerless students?
Is it a success?
Even big warlords like Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang and tens of thousands of reactionary troops have changed their minds towards you. All walks of life in the country talk about your every achievement and disaster relief act. You are still afraid of the rain of bullets and life and death.
What?
You graduated from Huangpu with honors and wrote several excellent military textbooks during the two-year expedition, which were adopted by the Huangpu Military Academy. These have long been known to the military and civilians across the country. Who dares to say that your cultural attainments are not enough? There is a saying.
There is a slang saying: Being an official is easier than teaching! It can be seen that being an official will naturally bring official prestige. Others can only look up to you. If you encounter embarrassing problems, you only need to show some official airs, and everything will be solved, right?
?”
Everyone was amused and smiled knowingly. An Yi understood the essence of Wu Zhihui's words and bowed gratefully to Wu Zhihui. Wu Zhihui nodded happily and loudly said that children can be taught.
Chiang Kai-shek picked up the tea cup to signal, and Chen Guofu immediately assigned a task to An Yi: "An Yi, according to repeated requests from all walks of life in Pingjin and various university societies, from today onwards, you will represent President Chiang, the revolutionary army and the central government on a tour to various universities.
In the speech, while introducing the major battles, everything must be centered around the following three centers:
First, spread the revolutionary spirit and carry forward the Three People's Principles; second, clarify the importance and urgency of disarmament, economic development, and assist workers and peasants; third, absorb talents for our central government as much as possible and encourage students to go south and join the world.
revolution.
Nowadays, the national cultural penetration rate is less than 8%, and college students who receive new ideas and new education are even rarer. Various groups and forces are eyeing young students from universities in Beijing and Tianjin, and they are eager to take them as their own right away, so you must make full use of yourself
We should use our influence to infect and persuade students to join our camp as much as possible.
As Mr. Sun Yat-sen said, whoever owns the youth owns the future, remember?"
An Yi nodded: "Remember! An Yi will definitely do his best for these three purposes, but the effect is really difficult to predict. If it doesn't work, I ask Minister Chen and the seniors to forgive me. After all, with such a large battle, An Yi
Yi has never experienced it before. Students are no better than lieutenants in the army. They have received many years of new education and have richer knowledge and their own outlook on life and the world. They can only communicate with each other on an equal footing and dare not force anything!"
"This is well said! As long as General An maintains a peaceful attitude and communicates with students on an equal footing as a peer, it is a success in itself. The students will definitely see an enlightened government and a brand-new society from General An.
This kind of understanding of the style of the revolutionary army is much better than shouting ten thousand slogans." Cai Yuanpei smiled approvingly.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "It's settled! Tomorrow morning, you need to attend the first day's disarmament and demobilization meeting as the chief of staff of the First Army's former enemy. You don't have to attend the subsequent meetings. Just go to various universities to give lectures and strive for
Within two days, create a voice for disarmament and let all the people form a consensus that only disarmament can revitalize the economy and support people's livelihood. This is your first priority.
You can go to the reception hall of the Yingbin Building in front to meet the student representatives now, and talk to Chinese and foreign reporters about the significance of disarmament. I believe you can grasp it well. Lifu and Kangze will provide you with all the information.
"
“Students understand!”
An Yi stood up, saluted and said goodbye, and strode away under the hopeful eyes of Chiang Kai-shek and a group of Central Committee officials. He took a deep breath when he walked out of the door, feeling that his chest and back were soaked with sweat.
Ten minutes later, An Yi, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Chen Lifu, Kang Ze and others, came to the living room, which immediately caused a sensation among hundreds of student representatives and dozens of reporters. Students rushed forward to shake hands with An Yi and greet him.
The reporters' cameras kept flashing, and a series of questions mixed with greetings and cheers echoed in the spacious hall.
More than 20 staff members finally stabilized the order. Hundreds of young men and women and reporters crowded in the middle of the hall, looking expectantly at An Yi who walked up to the temporary podium.
After An Yi stood still, he saw that except for seven or eight foreign reporters, most of them did not have stools and were standing. He quickly walked to the staff beside the rostrum and asked for some stools. The young staff saw that
The famous General An made the request so kindly, and was so moved that he agreed repeatedly. Soon, more than twenty benches were brought and placed neatly in the center of the hall.
Only then did the students and reporters know what An Yi had just said to the staff, and they all gave An Yi warm applause. Several foreign reporters also nodded frequently at An Yi's carefulness and courtesy. Many excited girls had bright eyes.
Staring at An Yi, I couldn't help but thank you loudly.
Kang Ze watched all this silently. When An Yi sat down after all the students and reporters sat down, he couldn't help but admire in his heart that he, his junior brother, could always do things that made people feel comfortable in subtle and inadvertent ways.
Winning universal favor and praise is an ability that makes Kang Ze envious but also benefits him a lot.
The meeting was hosted by Chen Lifu. After some polite remarks at the beginning, he took the initiative to give the right to speak to An Yi.
An Yi nodded slightly to He Jing, Ye Qing and other old friends in the press box, and said under the eager gaze of hundreds of students: "Thank you for coming. An Yi learned that you were still soaking in the hot spring bathhouse when you arrived.
When I came out, I was in a state of confusion and felt very ashamed. I guess my new brother-in-law felt the same way before he met his mother-in-law for the first time."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Ye Qing even laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. He told He Jing beside him that An Yi was getting thicker and thicker, and his character was getting more and more cunning. He came all the way from Shanghai.
He Jing laughed heartily when he suddenly heard a girl stand up and ask An Yi loudly if she had ever met her mother-in-law. An Yi blushed and confessed with a smile that she hadn't yet, which once again aroused laughter from the students and reporters in the hall.
Chen Lifu and Kang Ze also laughed from ear to ear, thinking that An Yi was really great. When they met student representatives from all walks of life for the first time, they quickly gained favor. In just a few words, they got closer to each other.
