Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations

In the dining room of the Banxi Mansion, the four of them sat quietly and were silent for a while.

Zhang Zuolin's condition was that "Wu Ziyu and Duan Zhi obey the central government". To be honest, that's a bit demanding. What kind of people are Wu Peifu and Duan Qirui? Asking them to obey a center organized by redbeard bandits is a bit of a stretch of old face.

Chen Jiongming's original plan was to have the Zhi, Anhui, and Feng families jointly organize the central government, with Duan Qirui as president, Wu Peifu as deputy, and Zhang Zuolin as premier. The new policy axe implements a responsible cabinet, that is, the central government is still in charge of Zhang Zuolin. Duan and Wu are just in the name of a name, so that the faces of the two departments of Zhi and Anhui will have a place to rest, and the great unity of Beiyang will be solid. I didn't expect ...... Zhang Zuolin actually clung to the name of the central government, and insisted that Wu Peifu and Duan Qirui bow their heads and be small.

Zhang Xueliang smiled and leaned over to Chen Jiongming, breaking the silence: "Gong Jing, I don't know if you, Yushuai and Zhilao have considered that our central political axe is now justified." It is a legitimate central committee elected by the Political Consultative Conference of various factions. ”

"But...... Yushuai and Zhilao were both against it at the time. Chen Jiongming glanced at Zhang Xueliang, still frowned, and shook his head in disapproval.

Zhang Xueliang still smiled: "But the Kuomintang voted in favor, or voted on behalf of the thirteen southern provinces (regions)!" Jing Gong, if we don't want this justifiable central government now, and form another one, are you sure to persuade Mr. Sun Yat-sen to vote in favor again? At present, the Kuomintang, GCD, and Kuomintang leftists such as Feng Yuxiang and Hu Jingyi control a total of 16 provinces (regions). If the political consultative conference of various factions is held again, I am afraid that the elected president should be Sun Yat-sen, right? ”

Chen Jiongming's eyes were deep and he glanced at Zhang Xueliang. The heart said that this young marshal did not seem to be as the outside world said, a gentleman who only knew how to linger in pure wine and beauties. The lofty arguments are quite insightful, and the current Central Committee is indeed recognized by the Kuomintang. No matter how inconsistent this process is with the procedures of the Ming Cook Constitution, it is always Sun Dacang who nods in approval. Therefore, Sun Wen only closed the door in Wuhan to "be the emperor", and he still did not dare to call himself the central government to the outside world. If the three departments of Zhi, Anhui, and Feng want to set up another central committee now, with the surname of Sun Wen, I am afraid that they will not let go of such an opportunity, and then China will have to come up with two central political axes to sing against each other.

Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled slightly, and also echoed: "Mr. Jingcun, don't underestimate the restraining effect of the central name on the Kuomintang. For example, the "Canton Secret Treaty" is an illegal treaty that has not been approved by the central government...... The Central Committee can declare it null and void! In this way, the strength of the Kuomintang will be greatly reduced. ”

As soon as Banxi's words came out, the faces of the Zhang family father and son and Chen Jiongming, who were seated, suddenly changed. The "Secret Treaty of Guangzhou" is almost the basis for the ruling of the southern country's political axe, and the foundation of the annual fiscal revenue of more than one billion yuan and the rapid development of southern industry and commerce is actually "tariff autonomy." If the "Secret Treaty" is invalid, then there will naturally be no southern customs territory, and there will be no tariff autonomy, and the fledgling heavy industry in the south will be crushed by the influx of imported products in the blink of an eye, right? But...... Will the Kuomintang still recognize the central government's political axe at that time? They could have set up a separate central government, so that they could justifiably continue to maintain the current tariff policy. But at the same time, it will also mean a split between the north and the south...... A war between the North and the South! What does this mean by myself?

"Yu Shuai, Mr. Jing Cun, what do you think the current balance of power between the north and the south is?" Banxi looked at the stunned three, smiled and asked.

Zhang Zuolin's eyes circled a few times, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Now the strength of any family in the north is not as good as the Kuomintang, but the concentration of the total strength of all factions in the north still has an advantage over the Kuomintang." It's just that...... Feng Yuxiang is now a member of the Kuomintang, and the GCD has joined forces with the Kuomintang, and the two of them have an army of 300,000, plus at least 500,000 troops of the Kuomintang, which is as much as 800,000! Even if our three alliances are counted, there are not as many of them as there are Jin Yan! ”

Banxi sneered: "What if GCD and Feng Yuxiang parted ways with the Kuomintang? Not to mention that they went to war with the Kuomintang, even if they remained neutral. Will we have the strength to fight? ”

Zhang Zuolin frowned, thought about it in his heart, and still shook his head: "Impossible." Even if the KMT and GCD break up, GCD will not remain neutral. They are now eyeing Shanxi, and if we fight with the Kuomintang, they will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob them. Besides, Feng Huanzhang and his gang of younger brothers are simply masters who recognize money but not people, and it is not difficult to buy them with the financial resources of the Kuomintang. ”

"Then defeat GCD first! Defeat Feng Yuxiang again, and finally fight with the Kuomintang! Banxi sneered and said, "Does Yushuai have a clever plan to deal with GCD now?" ”

Bannishi's words seem to be all nonsense, against GCD! This is something that even such a powerful force as the Kuomintang is not sure to do, so now I have to coax them. Just rely on these strengths? 150,000 Red Army! plus Feng Yuxiang's 150,000 troops. Even if the Feng, Zhi, Anhui, and Jin coalition forces are together, they may not be opponents. Moreover, there are 500,000 troops of the Kuomintang in the south, and I don't know when they will fight.

Zhang Zuolin just smiled bitterly: "If we let a few of us go all out to defeat GCD, we may have a chance of winning, but ...... And Feng Huanzhang and the Kuomintang! ”

"What if there is a way to make Feng Yuxiang and the Kuomintang see death and not save them? In that case, are Yu Shuai and Mr. Jingcun sure to win? Sakanishi Rihachiro's eyes, which were hidden behind the lenses, flashed with a strange light at this time, glanced at the three of them, and said coldly: "The affairs of the world must always emphasize a righteous name, if the righteousness is in the hands of the central government, the Kuomintang and Feng Yuxiang will not dare to act rashly even if they have the advantage of strength." Once GCD loses its righteousness, no matter how tenacious they are, they will decay because of their unrighteousness and lack of help! Now this righteous name is...... Middle Road! ”

……

Zhangjiakou, a famous city of Saishang more than 100 kilometers away from Yanjing, has now completely recovered from last year's war. Even more so than ever. Today, Zhangjiakou has become an important commercial port for north-south trade, and the streets of the city are lined with rows of shops and silver horns. Goods from Inner Mongolia and even the Soviet Union would pass through here to sell to the entire Chinese mainland market, and merchants who also had to trade with these GCDs could only trade in Zhangjiakou.

In front of the Chahadu Office in Zhangjiakou.

The guards of the Metropolitan Administration formed a neat four-column horizontal line in front of the gate, holding high the five-color national flag and the party flag in the blue sky and white. All the guards stood in silence with rifles on their shoulders. A petty officer with a box cannon was walking around the front of the line.

The gate of the Metropolitan Administration is also rarely open today, Hu Jingyi, Deng Yanda, the brigade commanders, Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangnai, Yue Weijun, Tian Yuhao and others led a group of officials to wait in the Yuanmen.

In the past, even Guo Songling and Yang Yuting came to Zhangjiakou to inspect and did not put on such a pomp to greet them. After all, Hu Jingyi and Deng Yanda are now also heroes who dominate one side. With tens of thousands of soldiers, it was difficult for the Zhang family and the father and son in Yanjing City to sleep peacefully. And today's display of such a guard of honor is actually to welcome the two major generals who rushed from Wuhan -- Wang Zhongyi (Wang Bao) and Ye Ting.

Wang Zhongyi is Luo Yaoguo's eldest brother Wang Bao, and now he is known as Wang Zhongyi, which sounds a little more literate. Ye Ting was the commander-in-chief of the former Red Fourth Front Army, and was expelled from the party by Zhang Guotao as a scapegoat because of his defeat last year, and returned to Wuhan to find an errand as an instructor at the Central Military Academy. This time, Wang Zhongyi proposed to take him to the Northeast to fight the world together, Luo Yaoguo thought about it and agreed, after all, this person is also a generation of famous generals, with him participating in the command, the "Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army" that rebelled in the name of the Red Army should be better off in the next five years, right?
