On April 10, Zhu Peide, the special envoy dispatched by the central government, arrived at Xufu with more than ten confidants. An Yi led dozens of generals from the Fifth Army Headquarters to Luzhou to greet him in person. From Luzhou to Xufu, he lived in Guanying Street in the east of the city.
Liu Mansion.
Zhu Peide liked this courtyard with a brick-concrete structure very much. There were two towering ancient camphor trees in the spacious courtyard. The bluestone-carved well platform and gardens were well-proportioned and unique in shape. It formed a courtyard surrounded by wind and fire walls with typical southern Sichuan style.
In the independent courtyard, every door and window is made of precious wood. It is beautiful in style, cleverly arranged, carefully crafted, simple and elegant, giving people a clean, refreshing, quiet and comfortable feeling.
"Uncle De, if you like this house, I will give it to you." An Yi walked beside Zhu Peide and smiled.
Zhu Peide shook his head: "If you want to keep everything you like, I'm afraid your heart will be full of material desires, and you will no longer be able to be enlightened, calm, and upright, that's it, that's it!"
An Yi knew that Zhu Peide had a close relationship with Lao Shoudao and Song Jian, and was greatly influenced by the Taoist thought of inaction. They pursued tranquility and far-reaching, and were indifferent and clear-minded. Therefore, he did not talk about it anymore and turned the topic to the situation in Yunnan:
"Uncle De, Yi Gong (Li Hongxiang, nicknamed Yi Ting) arrived here a week ago and talked with his nephew at length all night. Yi Gong is a kind-hearted elder, and he is afraid that his nephew will attack Kunming and fight against the tough-minded Long Yun.
If a fierce battle breaks out and the scenic spots and historic sites in Spring City are damaged, as well as the altars and jars, just repeatedly ask my nephew's Fifth Army to press forward step by step and maintain military pressure.
The nephew felt that Duke Yi had worked hard and agreed to him, letting Huanqi's garrison division, Hutou's 44th Division, and Brother Zhu's 17th Division slowly drive towards Chuncheng and Shizhen Division from Zhaotong on the middle road and Wuding on the west road.
The third division follows Hu Ruoyu's division and presses from the east. The two divisions led by Zhang Cundang are serving as reserves. At present, except for Hu Ruoyu's division which has been fighting with Long Yun's division from time to time, the other divisions have basically not encountered any decent
resistance.
Last night, Yi Gong called his nephew and said that he had successfully contacted all walks of life to hold a meeting in Kunming city. Lu Han, who had been awarded the post of director of the Yunnan Provincial Appeasement Office, attended the meeting to congratulate him. The other two division commanders also expressed their support for the central leadership. Yi Gong's
At the end of the message, he also asked when Uncle De will arrive? It is estimated that all walks of life in Yunnan have reached a preliminary consensus that Uncle De is urgently awaiting his return to take charge."
Zhu Peide came to sit down at the stone table under the tree, took the tea cup from the orderly, and motioned for An Yi, Zhao Rui, and Ding Zhicheng to sit down as well:
"The situation in Yunnan is quite complicated. Although various ministries and all walks of life have initially formed a consensus, they are still in a confusing situation of supporting their own troops and separatist forces. Occupying Kunming does not mean occupying the entire Yunnan. Even if I become the chairman of Yunnan Province, I will not be able to defeat one or two
The province will be truly unified within this year, and what will happen next is very complicated!"
Zhao Rui said with a smile: "Uncle De, as long as Long Yun is transferred to Nanjing and appointed as the General of the Military Staff, Uncle De's resistance will disappear. At the same time, there will be support from Brother Shi Zhen's Western Guizhou Army in the east, and we will be in the north.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps stationed in southern Sichuan came to their aid, but who among the Yunnan Army dared to go against the trend?"
"Brother Xiangyun, what will happen if Long Yun doesn't respect orders?" Major General Adjutant Zhu Shijie asked with a smile.
Zhao Rui glanced at the relaxed and smiling An Yi, turned to Zhu Shijie, and replied calmly: "In that case, there is only one way, fight! Beat him until he is convinced. Zhaotong is currently under the control of our army, and Long Yun's entire family is here
During our protection, according to the commander's wishes, we did not restrict the freedom of anyone in the Long family, protected their property, and allowed them to travel to and from Kunming. I believe Long Yun should also be aware of this.
According to the news from ahead, Longyun retreated to the south, and the preservation strength was planning to come back to the next mountain.
Annan and Shangli of the Republic of China, otherwise the meeting will be wiped out without mercy. At that time, he just wants to surrender. I am afraid there is no capital. "
Zhu Peide and Zhu Shijie looked at each other. Based on the established strategies of the Central Committee and Commander Jiang, they both adopted the hard and hard of Long Yun, and the strategy of forcing Huai Rou to make every effort to negotiate peaceful negotiations.
Treating Long Yun with such a tough attitude made Zhu Peide unexpectedly, and he was quite concerned.
An Yi saw Zhu Peide's mind, put down the tea cup, and told his thoughts truthfully: "Uncle De don't have to worry. On the issue of Longyun, our fifth legion is still very cautious.
In the end, the tattoo is opposite, and the solution that is not the other way! "
An Yi put away his smile and solemnly continued to explain: "Long Yun's young Xi Xi and strong personality, the conquest of the year has made him accumulate rich experience. From last year, the whole person seemed to be aware of it.
The information we have mastered, Long Yun opened Yunnan Lecture Hall last year to train his own troops, and purchased a large number of new weapons and equipment forces from the French in Annan to enhance the combat power. The large airport built was completed at the beginning of the year.
It is estimated that the eight planes purchased by the two countries will soon arrive.
In August last year, Long Yun changed the old system and implemented an enlightened policy. He invited the people of Xianda, Yunnan, to participate in politics and politics from all walks of life.
The commander of the commander leads to the old enemy Li Yan, Li Yan, and the Gui Army, Long Yun's policy strategy and the political power basis may be initially established. Secondly, under the persuasion of a group of think tanks, Long Yun began to pay attention to education, increase teachers' wages, and expand continuously.
The newly built five schools have made him win a better reputation among literati. If it wasn't for Dongzheng Guangxi to drag his hind legs, 'Lighting Services and the People ’s livelihood', the policy of benefiting the people who won the hearts of most workers and peasants
It can be seen that Long Yun has transformed from a pure warlord to a local military and political leader with military and political integrity, and is in a critical rise and change period.
Five years of development, it is difficult to shake him again.
Commander Jiang and the major members of the Central Ministry estimated that it was precisely that it would be because of this that it would take the negative impact of politically and the danger of dishonesty in the local area.
The warlords of the soldiers separated by one side. "
Zhu Peide nodded: "Before leaving Nanjing, the commander -in -chief and the president of the Fifth Hospital also repeatedly analyzed the situation in Yunnan with me and discussed the issue of the establishment of the new government. Although no one talked about the political achievements and progress of Longyun's government in Yunnan, I am
I still hear the same anxiety from the general commander's words, and from the eager mood of the president of the Fifth Hospital, I realized that the central government is bound to be in Yunnan.
The speed is so fast, the attitude is so tough, and the position is so firm.
It seems that you are right. The ideological realm of Long Zhizhou (characterized by Long Yun) has indeed improved a lot. The comparison before and after is like a completely different person! Unfortunately, he also has a fatal weakness. He is suspicious by nature and loves great achievements, which leads to the loss of all his generals.
Suffering from oppression and alienation, he was disturbed by the civil strife after the defeat in the Eastern Expedition, and then insisted on going his own way and restarting the civil war.
Since God has given us such a fleeting opportunity, allowing us to hold high the banner of righteousness and advance rapidly, breaking the decades-long isolation of Yunnan with an army of righteousness several times greater, then we must firmly
Hold it firmly...Long Yun may regret it at this moment."
Everyone nodded in unison, Zhu Shijie still asked An Yi worriedly: "Brother Xian, how did Long Yun react to the soldiers approaching the border?"
"He urgently built three lines of defense outside the city of Kunming. More than 20,000 troops in the army and 50,000 civilians were recruited. They worked day and night, leaving the soldiers and civilians exhausted and complaining. The wise men from all walks of life who originally supported his administration also
We are all deeply disappointed, Long Yun made another wrong move."
An Yi shook his head with a smile, and continued: "Because of this, we have become more determined to implement tougher policies. Strictly speaking, Long Yun is a warrior, and a strong-willed warrior. For someone like him,
, we can only confront each other tit for tat, not blindly flatter him, be more ruthless than him,
Only by being harder and more determined can we break his will in one fell swoop. Even if he escapes outside the country, we must chase him and fight him. Otherwise, there will be endless hidden dangers in the future. Only in this way can we eliminate this problem in Yunnan to the greatest extent possible.
The largest force, deterring all powerful people in Yunnan, so that Uncle De will not be so tired in the future."
Everyone smiled knowingly, and Zhao Rui asked Zhu Peide: "Uncle De, what number did the central government give Uncle De?"
Zhu Peide hesitated for a moment: "It has been initially decided to retain the two designations of Yunnan's 38th and 39th Army. The number of the 38th Army is in my hands. Huanqi's Garrison Division will be renamed to the First Division, and Shigui's 17th Division will be incorporated into it.
The Thirty-eighth Army was renamed the Second Division, and the remaining portion was recruited separately.
Lu Han was promoted to commander of the 39th Army, and Zhu Xu was promoted to deputy commander and chief of staff, responsible for the defense of the western Yunnan region. The other two divisions, Zhang Fengchun and Zhang Chong, were merged into the 39th Army; Hu Ruoyu was promoted to provincial security commander... I feel wronged.
You guys, Shigui's 17th Division has always belonged to the Fifth Army, but now I have taken it back."
An Yi smiled slightly: "Uncle De, don't say that. It's too late for me to be happy for you. Brother Zhu's 17th Division still retains many Yunnan officers and soldiers, which is the backbone of the 38th Army of the Yunnan Army. This is
The juniors and brothers have been mentally prepared for a long time, we only need to take over the designation of the Seventeenth Division, and there will be no problem in forming a full Seventeenth Division within ten days, there is no need to worry about it!"
All the brothers expressed the same meaning one after another. Zhu Peide smiled a little reluctantly, looked around at the generals, stood up and grabbed An Yi's hand, and seemed to be very interested in asking An Yi and Zhao Rui to accompany him for a walk by the river.
An Yi readily agreed, gave Ding Zhicheng and other brothers a few words, and then accompanied Zhu Peide and Zhao Rui, and walked out of the courtyard to the riverside. They gazed at the confluence of the three rivers in Hejiangmen, feeling agitated and filled with emotion.
Zhu Peide stopped and said worriedly: "Xiao Yi, nephew Zhao Xian, there were too many soldiers just now, so it is inconvenient to say some things, but I feel bad if I don't say them!"
"Tell me, Uncle De, what is it that makes you so embarrassed?"
An Yi had a premonition of something, and his heart sank, but he still had a relaxed smile on his face. The shrewd Zhao Rui stared at Zhu Peide's eyes for a moment, turned to An Yi, and then lowered his head slightly.
Zhu Peide sighed: "If my prediction is correct, I am afraid that the designation of the 17th Division will be taken back by the Central Committee, and the designation of the Fifth Army. After the Central Plains War, the other four armies will all be withdrawn, leaving only the Suppression Army.
I am very worried that after Yunnan is pacified, the Fifth Army Corps will also be abolished accordingly.
Before I left Nanjing, I heard some voices with ulterior motives, saying that the Fifth Army Corps was too powerful and would be difficult to control in the future. The night before I left, Chief Ge quietly came to my house to see me off, and he drank wine until he said goodbye.
, he sadly told me that He Jingzhi and Yang Yongtai, both civil and military, submitted a report to the Commander-in-Chief on the Fifth Army respectively.
The core content of the secret report of the regiment involves the hidden dangers of the continued existence of the Fifth Corps. Deputy Chief Ge also quietly revealed that Mr. Guofu did not express any opinions or speak out against it. Secretary-General Chen Zuyan, who is in charge of party affairs, proposed to strengthen the Fifth Corps.
It seems that the legion’s party affairs construction and supervision have really fulfilled my Taoist brother’s words, and their achievements have shocked the Lord!”
An Yi and Zhao Rui looked at each other, feeling their hearts slowly sinking coldly.
