When Wang Hengyue, the President of the National Government, arrived here, he was greeted by a roar of mountains and tsunamis!
The shouts of "Long live the President! Long live the Northern Expeditionary Army! Long live the National Government" resounded throughout the city![]
This was the craziest time in Yimou. The military and civilians in Nanjing welcomed the arrival of the president with their enthusiasm.
In the Northern Expedition, complete victory is already at hand.
The most exciting moment is coming!
The crazy crowd was still partying there, and in the Nanjing Provisional Presidential Palace, a meeting on the final victory of the Northern Expedition was being held urgently.
"Currently, only Hebei and Shandong are controlled by the Beiyang government." Jiang Baili sat there and said: "Shandong Governor Tian Zhongyu has started peace talks with us. At the same time, our army has deployed six divisions in Shandong.
Threatening Tian Zhongyu with force, I believe that within a few days, Tian Zhongyu will choose to surrender under our oppression!
Beiyang's resistance in Hebei is still tenacious. The Zhili and Anhui cliques once again stood together and tried to confront us with force with all nine divisions. However, the top wanted to fight, but the bottom did not. The current Beiyang army has followed
With the successive defeats on the battlefield, the determination to resist has become very weak, and some troops have even contacted us alone!"
"I want to add fire to them!" Wang Hengyue said decisively: "I don't want to continue to fight the civil war. I want to solve the problem of unifying the country in a peaceful way, but that doesn't mean I don't dare to fight. One sentence
Talks need to be carried out, and fights need to be prepared!”
As he spoke, he looked around at the generals: "I have ordered two artillery divisions and a flying squadron to be brought up to continue to exert strong pressure on Hebei, forcing them to accept our request. All ministries must also step up preparations. Once the peace talks fail, they must
Use the shortest time to achieve the greatest victory. The country cannot continue to be divided like this!"
No one had any doubts about final victory.
The only question is how to achieve final victory, peacefully or by force.
Jiang Baili continued: "But there is still another problem, which is the Northeast issue. Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast currently has an ambiguous attitude. While he continues to nominally support the leadership of the Beiyang government, he ignores Beiyang's request to quickly enter the customs. And in the
After entering Beijing, it is also debatable what attitude we will adopt toward the Northeast."
Wang Hengyue smiled: "Zhang Zuolin is waiting for us there. He wants to see what method we will use to obtain Beijing. Don't worry about the Northeast issue for the time being. I will handle it."
Jiang Baili nodded.
He knew Wang Hengyue very well. When he said such words, it showed that he had regrets about solving the problem.
Beijing.
Bili put down the book he was reading and looked outside.
It's raining, and the pattering rain is falling from the sky little by little, washing Beijing.
This historic city will soon change hands.
The streets of Beijing have been very chaotic recently. The Northern Expeditionary Army has entered Hebei. Although the battle has not happened yet, God knows when the sound of artillery will sound in Beijing.
Recently there have been many rumors saying that Shandong Governor Tian Zhongyu is ready to surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army. If Shandong falls into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army again, then the Beiyang government will only have Hebei in its hands.
Using the land of Hebei to fight against the entire "China", how should we fight this battle?
Everyone can see that Wang Hengyue's pace of unifying China is unstoppable, but why do those in the Beiyang government refuse to admit it or admit defeat?
Is this stubbornness, or is it the courage of those in power who have military backgrounds?
No one can tell clearly.
Dai Li was in a very happy mood at this time!
Being able to work independently proves the president's trust in him, and once Beijing's regime changes smoothly, his future will become bright.
Flyers appeared in Beijing almost every day, all using the slogans of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which made the already panic-stricken Beijing even more chaotic.
And all of this is Dai Li's contribution.
Information about Beijing is being continuously sent to the hands of the president. For example, the resignation of Xu Shichang, such as the mobilization of the Northern Army.
Dai Li established his own intelligence agency in Beijing in the shortest possible time.
Of course, Dai Li also knew very well that the reason why his work in Beijing was so smooth was inseparable from the help of the president.
Although the president told himself that the intelligence system in Beijing was relatively weak, this weakness was only relative. Yu Lei had already established an intelligence network in Beijing before.
Maybe it was the president's order, maybe Yu Lei wanted to continue to win over him, this intelligence network gave him a lot of help overtly and covertly.
"Report." Kong Zulu came in.
Under his name, Dai Li only has one simple word.
Kong Zulu is now more and more afraid of Dai Li, his immediate boss, and has completely lost the intimacy he had when he was in the action team. Since Dai*'s position has become higher and higher, he has become more and more difficult to get close to.
Although he is still very young, the coldness and cruelty in his body have become more and more like that of Yu Lei.
Kong Zulu stood there respectfully: "Now many people in Beijing want to leave. They..."
"I know this, and you don't need to report it. Dai Li interrupted him, and then snorted coldly in his nostrils: "Leave? Now that the entire [China] belongs to the National Government, where can they go?"
Zu Lu hurriedly said: "According to the latest information we have received, most people in the Beiyang government are also in favor of immediately stopping the armed confrontation with the Northern Expedition and starting peace talks. However, there are also people who strongly oppose it. In the meeting held by the Beiyang government today
, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Su Xuanzhen is one of them. He keeps saying that the president is the number one warlord today and the one who should be defeated the most."
"Su Xuanzhen?" Dai Li frowned. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
Kong Zulu was a veteran of intelligence work and immediately replied: "This Su Xuanzhen originally had a daughter named Su Yu who was once caught by Yu Lei. Later, because she was the daughter of the deputy chief of Beiyang Agriculture and Merchant, he took her into custody.
She was released. Su Xuanzhen is a veteran of Beiyang, so he has deep feelings for Beiyang. I heard that Director Yu still has some unclear relationship with his daughter."
Dai Li said "Oh": "Since Director Yu let his daughter go, he must have his reasons. Thanks to the help of Director Yu in Beijing, we can just scare Su Xuanxian."
Zulu responded and was about to leave when Dai Li suddenly stopped him: "Go and seal the telegram to the President and tell him about Su Xuanzhen."
After the Kong people agreed, they quickly responded.
Stationmaster Dai wanted to use this matter to undermine Yu Lei's prestige in the heart of the president. "Xiucai, you came just in time. I have a telegram here for you to read."
Taking the telegram from Hengshuai's hand, Yu Lei glanced at it hastily, and quietly put the telegram in front of the president: "There is such a thing, Su Xuanzhen and I's daughter is indeed a little unclean.
, Dai Li is right."
Wang Hengyue smiled: "You are still so smart, you know that there is no need to hide anything about these little things, and I don't care about these little details of your life.
But tell me, how should I reply to this telegram?"
"That's Hengshuai's business, we shouldn't worry about it." Yu Lei still said
o said calmly.
Wang Hengyue laughed: "You are such a stupid scholar, you did something yourself, and you still have to wipe your butt for me!"
I thought about it for a while, and then said: "Call Dai Li back. "I know, just concentrate on doing your own thing..."
A very simple call back. But this is telling Dai Li not to focus entirely on fighting for power and gain, but to do what you should do.
At the same time, this can also be seen as a warning to Dai Li: he is not qualified to fight for power yet!
Just like Yu Lei, it is very interesting to control Dai Li in his own hands.
This man is talented and ambitious. He has always regarded Yu Lei as the biggest obstacle on his way forward.
Although Wang Hengyue is now using Dai Li to balance Yu Lei's power, he doesn't want Dai Li to jump out so early...
After receiving a call back from the President, Dai Li broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
I was indeed too impatient. I overestimated the president's trust in me and underestimated the trust between the president and Yu Lei.
They have been fighting together since Rong County. The president has grown from a small team officer to his current position. Yu Lei has never left him for a moment.
And I am just a favored subordinate!
I felt a little dizzy and wanted to shake Yu Lei's position now.
He took a deep breath, sat down, and opened a diary. The diary was blank, and many pages had been torn out at the front. Dai Li picked up a pen and wrote on it: "Today is a very serious lesson.
It was unwise to try to attack Yu Lei when he had just barely gained a foothold. Yu Lei had followed the president for too long, and the trust and power he gained was beyond what he could match. He had to learn a profound lesson from it,
No rash action should be taken without the complete trust and full support of the president."
He finished writing the last word, read it, then tore the page out of the diary and lit a match to burn it.
Looking at the diary that gradually burned into ashes, Dai Li felt that he had taken another step forward.
People always have to make progress through constant setbacks.
People always have to climb up to the position they want step by step! (To be continued!)
