Zhuang Jihua's expression was tired under the light, although the mud marks on his body were clearly visible after tidying up, and the soil on the riding boots was not wiped clean, Chiang Kai-shek was a little moved in his heart, and he was worthy of his cultivation of him.

"After such a long journey, let the troops rest well and recover their strength as soon as possible, you can also tidy up, and then come back, it will be dirty." Chiang Kai-shek's love is beyond words.

"Yes, thank you, Principal!" Zhuang Jihua saluted Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai and then turned around and went out to resettle the troops.

After Zhuang Jihua's back disappeared, Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to look at Zhou Enlai, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, Zhou Enlai knew that he was demonstrating to himself, and he said quietly: "I want to see Li Zhilong." ”

"No, no one can see him until the interrogation is over." Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was tough.

"Li Zhilong is the key to this incident, and his interrogation should be carried out by the national political axe, not unilaterally by you." Zhou Enlai protested.

"I'll leave it to you, can you still find out the results?" Chiang Kai-shek said coldly: "Last time, your people distributed leaflets against me, Chen Yannian told the Cultural Revolution that you would deal with it seriously, but there has been no result so far, Li Zhilong handed it over to you.... Chiang Kai-shek let out two contemptuous noises from his nostrils.

Hearing this, Zhou Enlai suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table: "We have dealt with it a long time ago, and I came back from Chaoshan to inform you about this." ”

Chiang Kai-shek picked it up suspiciously, and there was a line of big red letters on it: "On Comrade Li Haoyi's punishment decision", the following is a brief description of Li Haoyi's wrong behavior, and the last paragraph is: "...... In view of the fact that Comrade Li Haoyi's erroneous behavior seriously affected the unity of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and undermined the party's policies, after discussion by the district party committee, Comrade Li Haoyi was removed from the post of secretary of the Youth League Committee of Sun Yat-sen University, and he was left in the party for one year to see the after-effects. ”

The following is the year and month, from the time point of view of the third day of the incident, which made Chiang Kai-shek a little surprised, he thought that Chen Yannian was saying that Zhuang Jihua was young and fell for him, but he didn't expect that [***] really dealt with it, and the action was very fast, and the disposal was also very heavy.

"Why did you come to inform me? Because you are my subordinate, it shows that your heart is weak. Chiang Kai-shek began to use strong words, he didn't know the purpose of [***] asking Zhou Enlai to report, but now he had to put the basin on [***] head and fight for his legal name.

Zhou Enlai laughed angrily, but he couldn't just walk away like this, Chiang Kai-shek didn't give the order to massacre Wendelou now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't give the order later, he had to buy time for his comrades.

…….

…….

After Zhuang Jihua went out, he found Chen Lifu to understand the whole story, and at this time Chen Lifu also felt that things were not quite right, this did not look like a rebellion, he told Zhuang Jihua and his questions, and then asked worriedly.

"Cultural Revolution, I was a little confused at first, how I looked at it at the beginning, it looked like a rebellion, but now..."

"Lifu, don't think about it, the principal can do whatever he says, now it's a rebellion and a rebellion, it's not a rebellion and a rebellion."

Zhuang Jihua's words surprised Chen Lifu, and he nodded sensibly: "Yes, yes, this is a rebellion, fortunately, the principal was wise and found out in time." ”

Zhuang Jihua is in a very complicated mood now, he doesn't know how much Chiang Kai-shek wants to do this, the history books say that Chiang Kai-shek finally maintained the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but now it is a little different, otherwise he can agree to some of Zhou Enlai's conditions, such as withdrawing from the Wende Building, it is completely unnecessary to surround the Wende Building, there is no armed except for the [***] Guangdong District Committee.

Back in the room, Zhou Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek were still at a stalemate, Zhuang Jihua quietly found a corner to listen to their quarrel, he didn't dare to intervene now, and the slightest carelessness in the crisis would immediately be wiped out.

The sky is gradually white, dawn is just around the corner, Wang Jingwei is restless at home, he received Chen Yannian's call yesterday and immediately sent someone out to check, but soon found that his home was also surrounded, which made him furious, he called Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek just lightly told him that someone was plotting a rebellion, the matter was hasty, and he had to deal with it continuously, and then hung up the phone and never answered his phone again.

Wang Jingwei was already sick, and under the anger, his condition worsened, Chen Bijun hurriedly found medicine for him and let him rest in bed, Wang Jingwei wanted to go out to see, Chen Bijun resolutely refused to let him go, and told him that the sky could not fall, and the situation would naturally be clear tomorrow. Zeng Zhongming, who lived in Wang's mansion, also did not agree with Wang Jingwei to go out, and he told Wang Jingwei that the situation outside was unknown now, and he should not come forward.

The first to arrive at Wang's Mansion was Chen Gongbo, Chen Gongbo was the director of the Political Training Department of the Military Commission, that is, the director of the General Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army, Chen Gongbo was in the morning when the guards reported to him that martial law was under siege in Dongshan, and the Soviet Russian adviser station was besieged before he found out that something had happened, and called the national political axe, and the staff on duty told him that everything was normal, which made him suspicious, but he called Wang Jingwei but found that the phone did not work, which shocked him.

Chen Gongbo hurried to Wang's Mansion, and on the road saw that it was the troops of the Second Division who were under martial law, and he was still a little comforted in his heart, the First Army claimed that it was impossible for the party army to defect.

"Martial law outside, does Mr. Wang know? What the hell is going on with the stationing of Soviet and Russian advisers in this way? As soon as he saw Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo asked hurriedly.

"Chiang Kai-shek said [***] to start a rebellion." Wang Jingwei said with a pale face.

"[***] Start a rebellion!?" Chen Gongbo was stunned, and then shouted: "Impossible! ”

"It's impossible, but that's what he said." Wang Jingwei said angrily, his face flushed with a flush: "He didn't report to me beforehand, I called, and he didn't answer, what is he going to do!" ”

"Zhaoming, don't get excited, you can't be excited." Chen Bijun shouted.

"Okay, I'm not excited, not excited. You don't have to make a fuss either. Wang Jingwei waved his hand, and then said to Chen Gongbo: "You tell me about the situation outside." ”

Chen Gongbo told Wang Jingwei everything he saw along the way, and while the two were talking, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide also came, and Tan Yankai brought a letter from Chiang Kai-shek, which Chiang Kai-shek entrusted him to hand over to Wang Jingwei. In the letter, Chiang Kai-shek still said that [***] attempted to rebel, and he had to deal with it urgently, asking Wang Jingwei for forgiveness and so on.

Tan Yankai said worriedly: "Chiang Kai-shek has occupied the mint, Li Zhilong, the director of the Navy Bureau, has been arrested, and all party representatives in the First Army, whether they are [***] or not, have been dismissed and detained. ”

Wang Jingwei was even more indignant: "I am the chairman of the National Political Axe, the chairman of the Military Commission, and he did this without my consent, what is it if he is not a rebellion?" ”

Wang Jingwei struggled to get out of bed, but a wave of dizziness made him fall on the bed.

"I think he's just a little nervous, thinking about it all day, I think we'd better go again, ask him what he wants, and then talk." Zhu Peide said to Tan Yankai.

Tan Yankai thought about it and nodded: "Then let's do it first." However, if we are detained, we will have to trouble Gongbo to inform Lu Yong'an (i.e. Lu Diping) for me, so that he can prepare in case of emergency. ”

"Yes, also inform Huang Yuqiu (i.e. Huang Shi) for me." Zhu Peide stood up and said.

Wang Jingwei was even more annoyed, he grabbed the long shirt and struggled to get out of bed: "I'll go with you." ”

"How can you go out like this?" Chen Bijun hurriedly supported him and anxiously dissuaded.

"Chairman Wang can't go, let's go." Tan Yankai also did not approve of Wang Jingwei going, and there was no buffer room for him to go.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, I am the chairman of the Kuomintang, and my history and status in the party are not something that Chiang Kai-shek can reverse." Wang Jingwei said and lay on the bed again.

Chen Gongbo stood up and said to Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide: "You can go with confidence, and the matter of informing the army is on me." ”

Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide had just left, Song Ziwen and Li Jishen had arrived again, and Wang Jingwei had become even more cautious after the excitement just now, so Chen Gongbo had to hastily tell them what happened.

"Then I'll go to the mint too." After hearing this, Song Ziwen volunteered to go to the mint and ask Chiang Kai-shek what he wanted to do.

"You can't go, Chiang Kai-shek is very dissatisfied with you, the Minister of Finance, and has asked me to remove you more than once." Wang Jingwei said weakly, then looked at Li Jishen and asked, "Mr. Ren Chao, can you go to the army now?" ”

"There's no way around it today." Li Jishen is still so slow, unhurried and impatient: "Chiang Kai-shek sent people to control the telegraph office and telephone office, and there are also people watching from various ports and stations, and they will definitely not be able to leave." ”

Li Jishen was actually quite embarrassed in his heart, Wang Jiang cooperated to overwhelm these Cantonese soldiers, and now Wang Jiang turned against him, of course, he was happy to see it; But the result of Chiang Kai-shek's move will inevitably lead to the dominance of one person, either Chiang Kai-shek or Wang Jingwei, who is a little disgusted with Wang Jingwei being too close [***]; And if Chiang Kai-shek wins, although he can suppress [***], Chiang Kai-shek can be much more ruthless than Wang Jingwei, and I am afraid that the Cantonese army will not even be able to drink soup at that time. He had no choice but to wait and see.

Wang Jingwei couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard Li Jishen's words, it seems that he can't do it without his own army, Wang Jingwei wants Wang Maogong even more in his heart.

Song Ziwen suddenly said: "I think I asked Mrs. Liao to ask Chiang Kai-shek, it is impossible for Chiang Kai-shek not to give her face." ”

Wang Jingwei's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, let He Xiangning question Chiang Kai-shek, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide arrived at the mint, Zhou Enlai had already left, after Zhou Enlai left, Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yi, Chen Lifu, and Zhuang Jihua discussed what to do next in the manager's office.

Don't look at Chiang Kai-shek being so tough in front of Zhou Enlai, in fact, he is now riding a tiger, and the evidence of the rebellion has not been found, Xu Huan tried Li Zhilong, Li Zhilong said that the order to transfer ships was issued by Chiang Kai-shek, and Ouyang Zhong was sent to his house by Ouyang Zhong of the Guangzhou Office of the Military Academy, and then Ouyang Zhong was arrested, but Ouyang Zhong did not admit that he had been to Li Zhilong's house.

The trial couldn't go on here, Xu Huan asked for a sentence, Zhuang Jihua immediately objected, thinking that this was a big case, and he couldn't be sentenced, not only could he not be sentenced, but he also had to ensure Li Zhilong's safety, if he died in the mint, the principal would be difficult to tell. Chen Lifu and Feng Yi also thought that the punishment could not be moved, and Chiang Kai-shek impatiently sent Kong Qingyang of the Judge Advocate General to try Li Zhilong.

After they left, Zhuang Jihua saw that Chiang Kai-shek was now beginning to look for the next step, so he asked tentatively: "What kind of degree does the principal want to do?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at him silently, did not speak, Feng Wei said: "Now that I have torn my face, I will naturally do it to the end." ”

"In the end, Mr. Feng refers to a complete split of the Communist Party?" Zhuang Jihua asked Feng Yi, he was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yi, and although he retained respect in his words, he had no affection.

Feng Yi looked at Chiang Kai-shek and nodded, Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment and said, "What about after the division of the Communist Party?" ”

Feng Wei said: "After that, it is naturally the principal who leads everyone to continue the revolution. ”

"Mr. Feng said it very lightly, but have you thought about it, the three major policies were put forward by the prime minister, and now the Kuomintang will split, the first army has a military strength of about 40,000 people, but the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth armies have a total of about 50,000 troops, and Guangxi Li Zongren has 30,000 people, once these people oppose the division of the Communist Party, they will have more than 80,000 people, nearly double us, this is hard power; There is also soft power, if the president completely splits the Communist Party, it is equivalent to giving up the banner of the three major policies and giving up the premier, and Wang Jingwei is bound to publicly announce the rebellion of the president, and call on all armies and parties to quell the rebellion in the name of the premier, [***] will also take the opportunity to launch a workers' strike, and the first army is deeply affected by the premier's three major policies, which will inevitably cause confusion among the officers and soldiers, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. On both fronts, I think the open score is the best of our chances. ”

When Zhuang Jihua analyzed the strength of the two sides, Chiang Kai-shek's face sank like water, in fact, he thought about it, but he felt that the chances of winning were not great, so he didn't dare to make things absolutely dead, and now Zhuang Jihua's words made it clearer.

"So what do you say?" Feng Wei sneered in his heart that Chiang Kai-shek had already gone into the water, could you still pull him back.

"Mr. Feng said that he had torn his face, but in fact, the students thought that there was room for redemption." Zhuang Jihua suggested to Chiang Kai-shek: "A rebellion is still a rebellion, but it is necessary to separate Li Zhilong from [***], and Ji Jiashan from Soviet Russia; The rebellion was launched by Ji Jiashan at the instigation of Li Zhilong, and Ji Jiashan was because the principal opposed his northern strategy, so he instructed Li Zhilong to kidnap the principal. ”

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was clever, according to this, the premier's banner was not lost, and he could step down, and Wang Jingwei's prestige was less, and [***] could also be hit. Gradually, a smile appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face, and he said to Zhuang Jihua gently: "You have been running all night and have not rested, you go to rest first and sleep for a while." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face changed and fell in Feng Yi's eyes, Feng Wei knew that Chiang Kai-shek was moved, but at this moment he couldn't put forward any other strategy except for the strategy of doing it to the end, and Chiang Kai-shek did not accept his strategy for a long time, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek actually saw the disadvantages of completely splitting the Communist Party, but there was no good strategy for a while, so he had been hesitating. Feng Yi regretted in his heart that since Chiang Kai-shek had decided to follow Zhuang Jihua's strategy, it would be useless to talk about it.

Zhuang Jihua was just about to speak, Hu Jingan came in and reported that Deng Yanda wanted to see Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately stood up and greeted him. Deng Yanda saw Chiang Kai-shek personally greet him at the gate of the headquarters, and felt slightly strange in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek had never treated him with such high courtesy.

But this weirdness quickly disappeared, and as soon as he put down his saluting hand, he said: "Chen inherited to come to the school to arrest people but I refused, he led people to seize the Zhongshan ship, and seriously and Zhang Zhizhong were under martial law in the school, saying that it was on your orders?" Headmaster, what's wrong? Why? ”

"Someone is going to start a rebellion with the intention of kidnapping me, and I can't do it." Since Chiang Kai-shek decided not to divide the Communist Party, he wanted to separate [***] from the Zhongshan ship, and he could no longer say that [***] was going to launch a rebellion.

"Who's going to kidnap you?" Deng Yanda was a little surprised, and he looked at Chiang Kai-shek suspiciously.

"Li Zhilong, Ji Jiashan instructed Li Zhilong to try to kidnap me and go to Soviet Russia." Chiang Kai-shek replied.

"Li Zhilong?" Deng Yanda was even more surprised, this is one of the three heroes of Whampoa.

"Yes, the Zhongshan ship went out for no reason, and when I asked him, he said that it was on my order, but I didn't know at all, and then said that it was you who gave the order on the phone, but said that the call was not made by you, I also want to ask you, have you given this order?" Chiang Kai-shek began to switch from defense to offense.

"My orders?" Deng Yanda's heart tightened, thinking that Chiang Kai-shek was going to attack him: "I didn't know before the Zhongshan ship arrived at Whampoa. ”

"I think so, he can't justify himself." Chiang Kai-shek said calmly.

"Since Li Zhilong was instructed by Ji Jiashan, why did he surround Wende Building?" Deng Yanda did not wash away the joy of innocence, and still asked suspiciously.

"The situation is complicated, just in case." Chiang Kai-shek said.

"Then you withdraw from the siege, principal, the prime minister's three major policies cannot be destroyed, if you think that after the withdrawal of the siege, [***] will still harm you, I can stay as a hostage." Deng Yanda's attitude was very intense.

"Hmph, I'll be afraid of them," Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly: "When have I been afraid of Jiang since the revolution," he said without looking back behind him, "Tell Hui Dongsheng to lift the siege of Wende Building." Then he said to Deng Yanda: "I am a revolutionary soldier, not a bandit, and I do not engage in the act of kidnapping tickets." ”
