Chapter 481: Mixed fish and dragons in Shanghai (1)
Chapter 481 A mixed bag of good and bad people in Shanghai (1)
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the banquets and gift-giving among relatives and friends are extremely busy. An Yi, a military officer who is highly regarded by Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek and many senior military officers, is also known as an upstart in the industrial and commercial circles and has numerous connections with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols.
The tangled relationship has become the hottest trend in Nanjing.
Although he is still recuperating, An Yi is welcomed and sent to and fro every day, and many brothers from Huangpu come to deepen their relationship in preparation for the future. As a result, An Yi has to take the initiative to ask Commander-in-Chief almost every two days.
Report and ask for instructions once, for fear of creating a hidden danger of forming a clique for selfish reasons.
On the 27th, Chiang Kai-shek, who had just finished the National Army Reorganization Conference for two days, boarded the train bound for Shanghai with his wife full of heart. They went to attend the wedding of his sworn brother Jiang Dingwen on the 28th, and met with the people who were active in the Shanghai Concession.
Party leaders with different political views and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang plutocrats held secret talks to ensure the smooth progress of the Nanjing government's centralized rule.
An Yi's box was arranged in the front compartment of Chiang Kai-shek's luxury box. Uneasy about An Yi's health, Gong Qian specifically asked for leave from the Party Headquarters and went to Shanghai with An Yi to relax. She said that she was familiar with Shanghai and would be there by then.
Customized several sets of clothes for An Yi, and accompanied An Yi around to serve as An Yi's guide.
After the assassination, the adjutant Shen Fengdao and the captain of the bodyguard Lin Yaodong, who were inseparable from An Yi, gathered in the box. The two adjacent boxes were also occupied by An Yi's Twelve Iron Guards and Gong Qian's bodyguards, who came from Jiangxi Taoism and were neither good at martial arts nor marksmanship.
It was occupied by Wan Zongjian, a young Taoist priest.
The train continued eastbound after a brief stop at Zhenjiang Station. Gong Qian and An Yi talked about the just-concluded disarmament and deployment conference. Both of them had a negative attitude towards the outcome of the conference.
The national reorganization meeting, which included representatives of Zhang Xueliang's ministry at the end of last year, was held for twenty-five days. During the meeting, the major forces argued fiercely and criticized each other. Only halfway through the meeting, Feng Yuxiang was secretly linked to Chiang Kai-shek.
The friendly Yan Xishan was so angry that he pretended to be sick and quit the meeting. The confident Yan Xishan was not to be outdone, and even went to Zhenjiang to visit the Jinshan Temple, the former residence of monk Fa Hai. Chiang Kai-shek appeared to be very conciliatory and helped to mediate the conflicts, but in fact he watched from the other side to try to win over the differences.
As a result, most of the representatives present agreed with Yan Xishan's deployment plan, forcing Feng Yuxiang to return to the meeting. On the 17th, they unanimously adopted the "National Revolutionary Army Recruitment Procedure Outline", "Implementation Regulations", and "Compilation Procedures".
Formal legal documents such as the "Principles of Demobilization and Demobilization" have successfully brought the power to organize, appoint and remove officers, military deployment, training and education rights to the central government. For the first time, the country's military has been unified under the central government in the form of law.
.
Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren's group are very dissatisfied, but they have no choice. With the general trend of the whole country opposing separatism and civil war, revitalizing the economy and supporting people's livelihood, no one dares to risk being accused by the world of being a "new warlord" who "supports military separatism and separatism to divide the country."
The political risk of “confronting the central government”.
During the meeting, Feng Yuxiang also made a huge mistake. He yelled at the Kuomintang veteran Hu Hanmin who was asking questions, and mocked the incompetent Hu Hanmin who showed off his Northern Expedition military exploits. Li Zong
Ren Ye also echoed the sentiments. Hu Hanmin was originally a tough and straightforward person. Sun Yat-sen wanted to give him face in the Kuomintang. He was very disgusted by Feng Yuxiang's ridicule and rebuttal. Commander-in-chief Chiang saw the opportunity and immediately
In the evening, he led Zhang Jingjiang, Dai Jitao, and Chen Guofu to visit Hu Hanmin and ask for his opinions on the reorganization meeting. Hu Hanmin, who was originally wavering, immediately expressed his support for Chiang Kai-shek's reorganization plan. In order to suppress the rebellious and arrogant Feng Yuxiang, he warned Feng Yuxiang, who had ulterior motives.
The Guangxi clique also suggested that the central government convene the Third National Congress as soon as possible to put greater political pressure on new warlords such as Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren.
Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren soon received the news and secretly regretted it. Although they were unwilling to reduce their own troops, they had to raise their hands under the eyes of the Central Party Committee, the Central Government, and the Central Supervisory Commission.
The resolution was passed. But the resolution was passed, so what?
Implementation was a big problem. Feng Yuxiang dropped his harsh words before leaving: "We have just finished the war and it is not the time to disarm. Let's rest for a while before reorganizing!" Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi immediately agreed, so everyone understood in their hearts.
"Taking a break" is probably a long way off.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang is not as pessimistic as everyone else. In fact, he has long known that this will be the result, but what he wants is to take the absolute initiative in legal principles, occupy the highest point of political public opinion and ideological morality, and firmly grasp
The "Flag of Justice" has achieved its goal. With a definite legal text, he has no worries about how far the various princes with ambitious ambitions to compete for the world can go. He has even learned about the upcoming series of events in the Guangxi clique.
separatist plan, and already has
He has developed a set of political, military, economic and propaganda countermeasures. What he is now worried about is the seizure of power by the "restructuring faction" with huge political influence within the party, led by Wang Jingwei, Sun Ke and others. Therefore, no matter how busy he is, he will
Must come in person
He took a trip to Shanghai to meet with the reorganizationists to gauge the trend. At the same time, he further seized the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, which played a decisive role in the political situation, and firmly controlled the entire financial power in his own hands. In his view, no one can do anything without money.
Make waves.
"Tuk tuk..."
The box door rang twice, and An Yi and Gong Qian stopped talking. Lin Yaodong quickly stood up and opened the door. When he saw Chen Lifu, he immediately welcomed him in politely. Chen Lifu smiled and nodded to everyone, and told An Yi that the principal had invited An Yi.
When Yi heard this, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately stood up, took the silver-gray suit jacket from Gong Qian, put it on, straightened his tie, and followed Chen Lifu to Chiang Kai-shek's box.
Song Meiling saw An Yi in a suit and leather shoes for the first time. Her eyes lit up. She stood up and looked at her carefully. She praised: "I didn't expect you to be so handsome in a suit. You look good! Don't always wear military uniforms in the future."
How nice it is to put on a suit, I will be fascinated by a lot of girls when I think about Shanghai!"
"The teacher's wife praised me. The student is a soldier and should wear a military uniform. If he hadn't been attending a wedding this time, the student wouldn't have bought this outfit at the last minute. In fact, the student thinks the Chinese tunic suit is also very good-looking." An Yi said with a smile.
Chiang Kai-shek put down the document, glanced at An Yi, and nodded repeatedly: "You look good in a suit. Please prepare two more suits. You can wear them for external exchanges and private gatherings... Sit down!"
"yes."
An Yi politely asked Song Meiling to sit down first, and then respectfully went to sit down next to Chen Lifu opposite Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek took a sip of water and whispered: "I just remembered something. When you arrive in Shanghai, you call Major General Lao Shoudao in Old Nanchang. You must deliver the 2,000 rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition produced by the arsenal on the fifth of next month.
, twenty-four doors eighty-two
Mortars, two thousand mortar shells, and fifty-four light machine guns were quietly handed over to the headquarters military station in Nanchang and assisted in the escort. In two days, I will instruct Director Yu of the Munitions Administration to deduct six months from the special account for the arsenal.
One hundred thousand payment, this is the list."
An Yi took the list and watched it again, and a little stunned: "Principal, this is the equipment of the main group! Where can I send it?"
"I want to say to you, don't surprise this trip to other departments and the garrison along the way. You notify the Ganzhong Security Forces to assist in sending the goods to the Tingxiang County of Xiangdong.
Just come back, don't say secret, you must strictly keep secret! By the way, I remember the commander of the Security Guard of Xia Jian, is it a brave general from your model camp? "Chiang Kai -shek asked.
"Yes, Xia Jian's guy is a general, but he is unwilling to study. The students asked him to enter the military academy several times.
. "An Yi laughed.
Chiang Kai -shek nodded: "I have seen him twice. He is a practical young man. Since he has served as commander of the Ganzhong Security, there have been no confusion and redness in more than a dozen counties in Nanchang.
It was also out of our Huangpu army. When the Jiangxi bandits finished the situation stable, let him improve. "
"The student thanks to the principal for him." An Yi thanked him quickly.
