As soon as Wendelou was relieved, Chen Yannian immediately rushed to Ji Jiashan's villa, and the soldiers outside the villa tried to prevent him from entering the villa, and [***] and Feng Jupo, who happened to live nearby, also came, [***] was the acting propaganda minister, and Feng Jupo was the secretary of the Kuomintang Workers' Department.

In Ji Jiashan's villa, there is also his translator Zhang Tailei, Chen Yannian gave Ji Jiashan a detailed introduction to the situation he currently has, and when he introduced the situation, Zhou Enlai also arrived, and he grasped the situation in more detail.

After listening to the introduction of the two, Zhang Tailei immediately shouted: "This is betrayal!" It's a rebellion! We must fight back immediately! ”

"Fight back is sure, but what exactly should we do now?" Chen Yannian is not so excited now, he has been thinking about this since last night.

"We can secretly gather the members of the Central Committee in Zhaoqing, rely on the Ye Ting Reading Force Regiment stationed there, and then convene the Central Committee and order a crusade against Chiang Kai-shek in the name of the Central Committee." [***] put forward his plan with a serious look.

"Comrade Enlai, you know the situation of the First Army best, how much do you estimate that our party's strength in the First Army remains?" Chen Yannian asked.

"Although party representatives at all levels have been detained, the officers at all levels of two regiments in the first division are all members of our party or the Communist Youth League, and these two regiments are ours, and the influence of our party in other units is still there, and it is impossible to eliminate it in a short period of time." Zhou Enlai is very confident in the background of the two regiments: "But we must fight back, Comrade Tailei is right, this is a rebellion, a betrayal of the revolution, and it cannot be tolerated." ”

"Oh, there's something like that." This is an unexpected joy, everyone present showed surprise, [***] excitedly drew in the air with their hands: "Then it is more certain, we can elect Wang Jingwei as the leader, with him to come forward to call for, Li Jishen and Li Zongren of Guangxi may fall to us, as long as these two people fall to us, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide will stand on our side, so that the pacification of Chiang Kai-shek will be controlled by eighty percent." ”

"Launch another workers' strike and organize 50,000 striking workers and members of peasant associations in provinces and Hong Kong to join the army." Chen Yannian added that now everyone is focused on Ji Jiashan, as long as Ji Jiashan makes up his mind, this strategy can be implemented immediately.

Ji Jiashan hesitated, he was very angry when he first found out that the army was surrounding his residence, but now he hesitated again. A counterattack would mean a complete break with Chiang Kai-shek, first of all, contrary to Moscow's instructions, to which Bubnov had conveyed to unite Chiang Kai-shek and cooperate with him to the end; This opinion could not have been Bubnov's, it must have been Stalin's, and at a critical moment in the Comintern's controversy between Stalin and Zinoviev, if he had made a complete break with Chiang Kai-shek at this time, it would have meant that the failure of Soviet Russia's China policy in the early stage could not be borne by Stalin, and this responsibility could not have been borne by Stalin, and he had to bear it Ji Jiashan, and secondly, he had made a promise to the Comintern when he drove out Borodin, and now he was about to break with the leftist leaders recognized by the Comintern in just a few months, and he could not afford this political responsibility.

"Can't fight back, we should negotiate with him and hear what he wants?" In the expectant eyes of everyone, Ji Jiashan finally spoke, but as soon as he said this, the four faces that were full of hope just now immediately turned into disappointment.

"Why can't you fight back?" [***] took the case and looked at Ji Jiashan angrily.

"Chiang Kai-shek is a man with a short temper, this is probably his impulse, he has not completely slipped to the side of the right, and he can still be saved." Ji Jiashan explained.

Zhou Enlai felt very absurd, Chiang Kai-shek had obviously raised the banner of counter-revolution and wanted to oppose Soviet Russia and oppose [***], but Soviet Russian advisers were defending him.

"Adviser Ji, Chiang Kai-shek is now the most dangerous figure in the New Right, he is different from the Xishan Conference faction, he controls the army, and if he is not resolutely eliminated, he may swing the knife again at any time." Zhou Enlai reminded.

"Enlai and Runzhi are right, we should and must fight back." Ji Jiashan's attitude made Chen Yannian very surprised and annoyed, he blushed and said loudly: "If we don't even fight back against such a counter-revolutionary act, what kind of revolutionaries are we!" ”

"The Chinese revolution at this stage is a national revolution and is led by the Kuomintang, which Comrade Stalin and the Comintern have long instructed, and Chiang Kai-shek is the leftist leader of the Kuomintang recognized by the Comintern, and he has only recently been elected honorary chairman at the Congress of the Comintern. Ji Jiashan knew that this decision would not be accepted by Comrade [***], so he had no choice but to use the signs of the Comintern and Stalin to strengthen himself.

"At that time, we were deceived by him," Zhou Enlai said: "During the Second Eastern Crusade, when he asked me for the list of our organization, this symptom appeared, but it did not attract our attention, and then he deliberately provoked the Northern Expedition with the intention of attacking our party, which was a symptom of his fall to the right." ”

Just then, the guards came in to report that martial law had been lifted outside, that the troops were withdrawing, and that the weapons of the guards had been returned. Ji Jiashan was encouraged: "You see, he has realized his mistakes, if we educate and make some concessions, we can save him back." ”

"I don't agree with your judgment, Chiang Kai-shek is playing tricks and trying to deceive us!" Chen Yannian also stood up and said loudly.

"Comrade Bublov is in Guangzhou, we can ask him for instructions." Ji Jiashan could not convince Chen Yannian, they had to hand over the contradictions, Bublov's status in the party was much higher than his, and Ji Jiashan's responsibility to make decisions was much smaller.

The lifting of the encirclement of the advisory group and the return of the weapons of the guards were the result of negotiations between Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide, and after the two of them left the Wang Mansion, they went directly to the mint to meet Chiang Kai-shek.

When he saw Chiang Kai-shek, Tan Yankai said in an old-fashioned tone: "The prime minister died only a year ago, and left a will to unite with Russia to help the peasants and workers. ”

"Zhongzheng doesn't dare, this matter is indeed hidden, and I have to deal with it with the wit." Chiang Kai-shek repeated the abnormal transfer of the Zhongshan ship to the two of them.

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide exchanged glances with each other, and Zhu Peide asked, "Then why are you surrounding the adviser's station?" ”

"There is someone behind Li Zhilong, and this person is Ji Jiashan." Chiang Kai-shek replied, and then snorted angrily: "Chairman Wang should dismiss Ji Jiashan from his post, let Soviet Russia recall Ji Jiashan, and invite back Borodin Adviser and Gallen Adviser." ”

"In any case, the advisory group should not be surrounded, and the guards should not be disarmed." After Ji Jiashan reported what he wanted, Tan Yankai had a bottom in his heart, so he made further requests.

"I'm just in case." Chiang Kai-shek argued that Zhuang Jihua, Chen Lifu, and Feng Yi did not show up at this time, and after Chiang Kai-shek determined the strategy, Feng Yi found an excuse to go out, and Zhuang Jihua did not sleep, and he and Chen Lifu together placed all kinds of information fed back by the intelligence department.

"Lifu, I made a mistake, I shouldn't have introduced Feng Yi to the principal." Zhuang Jihua sighed and said to Chen Lifu.

"Why?" Chen Lifu was a little strange, in his opinion Feng Wei was resourceful, and soon after he came, he came up with several brilliant ideas for Chiang Kai-shek.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "He can make the principal miserable this time, this time the principal will either soar or never recover, he is betting on the principal." ”

After thinking about it, Chen Lifu felt that Zhuang Jihua was right, the main reason for Chiang Kai-shek's decision was Feng Yi's judgment, and now it can be said that Feng Yi's judgment was wrong, but if he did it intentionally, Chen Lifu broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Zhuang Jihua glanced at Chen Lifu: "Lifu, I have an idea that I need your support." ”

"Say it." Chen Lifu seemed to know what he wanted to do.

"Spy on Feng Wei and see who he sees and what he says." Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "If there is a result, report it to the principal, you don't deal with it, not for anything else, at least let the principal know in his heart." ”

"Okay, I'll do that." Chen Lifu nodded in agreement.

Although the troops had not yet withdrawn from the city of Canton in the afternoon, martial law was lifted everywhere, and all the weapons of the Soviet Russian adviser guards and workers' pickets were returned, and the tense atmosphere in the city was greatly eased. It was under this circumstance that Bublov came to see Chiang Kai-shek.

Bublov received the report in the morning, and before noon he convened a joint meeting of the advisory group and the delegation, and Wang Jingwei sent Chen Gongbo and Chen Yannian from the [***] side to attend the meeting; after taking into account the situation in all aspects, Bublov already had a basic judgment in his heart, but before making a final decision, he had to talk to Chiang Kai-shek face to face.

Chiang Kai-shek still respected Bublov so much, heard that he was coming, made an exception to greet him in front of the gate, and as soon as Bublov's car stopped, Chiang Kai-shek stepped forward and opened the door for him with his own hands, and after getting out of the car, Bublov's first words were: "General Chiang, I want to know if you are to people or to Russia?" ”

"To people." Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and knew that there was a door, and throughout the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to the mint, and everyone made it clear that they did not approve of the split of the Communist Party and did not support the destruction of the three major policies, which made Chiang Kai-shek even more determined Zhuang Jihua's strategy.

"I am a believer in the Prime Minister and support the three major policies, but I can't accept Adviser Ji, we cooperated very well when Adviser Borodin and Gallen were there before, I don't know why your country recalled him, I beg you to report to the Third International, ask Adviser Bao and Adviser Gallen to come back, and let Ji Jiashan and Roga Juefu go back." Chiang Kai-shek then complained, and then he went through Ji Jiashan's absurd claims on the Northern Expedition, and he had different opinions, and Ji Jiashan suppressed himself in the distribution of Soviet aid materials, and now it has developed to the extent of colluding with Li Zhilong to prepare to kidnap him.

Bublov looked at the excited Chiang Kai-shek and felt more assured, and when Chiang Kai-shek stopped for a while, he said: "It seems that Comrade Ji Jiashan can no longer stay in China, General Chiang, I can agree to your request, and suggest that the Comintern recall Ji Jiashan and Luo Jia Juefu and others, and let Comrade Borodin and Gallen return to Guangzhou." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed, he knew that he was going to win, and under the excitement, his voice was a little stalked: "Comrade Bu, it would be great if I could do this, I know that I am a person who acts impulsively and sometimes recklessly, but I am a revolutionary, a student of the premier......." ”

In his opinion, the main reason for Chiang Kai-shek's overreaction was that the working methods of the Soviet advisers were problematic, simple and rude, did not take into account the personal feelings of the Chinese generals, and seriously violated the instructions of the Comintern that Soviet and Russian advisers should not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Nationalist affairs, let alone directly assume specific leadership posts. The main thing is that Chiang Kai-shek is an important weapon for Stalin against Zinoviev at present, and Stalin will not agree to abandon this weapon now. Therefore, as an important assistant to Stalin, Bublov certainly did not allow China to have an unfavorable outcome for Stalin.

Bublov's decision made Wang Jingwei very angry, after Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide went back, Wang Jingwei was already determined to use force to quell the rebellion, he persuaded Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide, Tan Yankai was also ready to go to Shaoguan to transfer troops, after hesitation, Zhu Peide also decided to listen to Wang Jingwei, he was also ready to return to the army, but at this time came the news that Bublov and Chiang Kai-shek had reached an agreement, so everything died down.

After seeing Bublov's car leave, Chiang Kai-shek felt extremely tired, he has been in a high degree of tension for the past two days, the comparison of strength is not as Feng Wei expected, Chiang Kai-shek knows that he seems to be strong and weak, he has a tense relationship with Li Jishen, the second most powerful faction in Guangdong, Li Zongren in Guangxi has a close relationship with Li Jishen, the combined strength of these two people has exceeded the first army, not to mention that Tan Yankai of the second army, Zhu Peide of the third army and he have accumulated a lot of contradictions in the distribution of military expenses and materials aided by Soviet Russia. If you cooperate again, Chiang Kai-shek will not dare to think about the consequences.

Gambling, complete gambling, and now that he was about to win, Chiang Kai-shek slowly returned to the room, and he sat there for a while before waving his hand to his subordinates around him: "Look at what I do, what I should do and what I do, the matter is not completely over." ”
