178th Dawn of Peaceful Reunification
"Drive Zhang Lianwu ...... Song Yun (Cheng Qian), Kai-shek, Huisheng, what do you think of this method? β
Sun Yat-sen sat on a circle chair and looked down at the plan for "driving Zhang Lianwu" that Chang Ruiqing had just sent. There was still a cup of *coffee on the table, but it was long gone.
Cheng Qian shook his head slightly, and was the first to express his opinion: "Sir, that 'Wu' should be the new commander of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army, Wu Peifu, right?" What good is it for us to help him drive Zhang and urge him to be the overseer of Hunan? β
Sun Yat-sen glanced at Cheng Qian and smiled faintly: "After the matter is completed, you will become the governor of Hunan Province!" We and Wu Ziyu are bounded by Hengyang, and the north including Hengyang is under his rule, and the south is under the jurisdiction of you, the governor of Hunan. β
"That's good." A hint of joy flashed on Cheng Qian's face, and he nodded: "It's just that Wu Ziyu is the backbone of the Beiyang lineage, will he cooperate with us to drive Zhang?" β
Jiang Jshi on the side snorted coldly: "Now the backbone of Beiyang's lineage is the army participating in the war, followed by the Anhui line, Wu Ziyu's direct line is probably only suffering from poverty, and he has worked hard to defeat half of Hunan, but the overseer and the governor have not caught any of them." Originally, he was expecting to get a Guangxi overseer after conquering Liangguang, but now that there is a truce between the north and the south, his overseers have also been in the soup...... There is also intelligence that his third division can only get 30% of its salary in February! There are not many empty quotas in this division, and the three-percent salary is almost the real three-percentage. If he doesn't hurry up and find a way to get a piece of territory, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the team will disperse. β
"Then he can't go and eat empty quotas too? Wouldn't it be enough to eat if you cut off a little soldier? "Xie Zhi started with assassination, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs. That's why I asked.
Jiang Jshi smiled coldly: "When I was paid, I felt that there were many soldiers, but when I was fighting, I was only afraid that there would be fewer soldiers!" His Wu Ziyu's third division has been fighting at the front all the time, how dare he eat empty quotas like troops hiding in the rear? β
"But how are we going to get rid of Zhang?" Xie Zhi was still at a loss, he looked at Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, you can't send troops to fight, right?" Can we even have reunification in Guangdong? β
Sun Yat-sen sneered, and handed Chang Ruiqing's Jianyi book in his hand to Xie Zhi: "Huisheng, read it for yourself...... Chang Ruiqing wanted to use the method of the local forces in Fujian to deal with him a while ago to deal with Zhang Jingyao. He wanted to use public opinion and mass movements to drive Zhang away, and he also suggested that we mobilize well-known people of Hunan origin in Beijing to petition the Beiyang government to expel Zhang. I think this method has a certain feasibility, at least it can create some trouble for the Beiyang government in Hunan. In order to win time for us to unify Guangdong. β
At this time, Cheng Qian suddenly asked again: "But what benefits can Chang Ruiqing get from it?" β
Sun Yat-sen just shook his head: "I don't understand, I don't understand this either......"
His gaze turned to Jiang Jshi. When Jiang Jshi was in Fujian, he had already worshiped Chang Ruiqing, Bai Chongxi and Wang Yaqiao, so he must know more, right? Jiang J Shi met Sun Yat-sen's gaze. After pondering, he said: "Sir, Chang Yaoru is now on the opposite side of Beiyang, if he can instigate a storm in Hunan to overthrow Zhang Yongwu, the two lines of Beiyang and Anhui will definitely be further divided, and if Beiyang is split, it will always be good for him, right?" β
Sun Yat-sen frowned: "That's all?" Isn't there anything else to do? β
Jiang Jishi shook his head and said nothing.
Sun Yat-sen said coldly: "He is a master who has no profit and can't afford to be early, how can he not have some direct benefits?" But...... His territory does not border Hunan, and the territory is always obtained by us. This is ...... It's worth a try! β
As he spoke, he instructed Cheng Qian: "Song Yun, our strategy to drive Zhang Lianwu must be hidden from Tan Zu'an, he is the number one celebrity in Hunan." He is indispensable for launching celebrities in Beijing and Hunan to expel Zhang. He will be in Guangzhou in the next two days, and you will be responsible for discussing with him the matter of launching the 'expulsion movement'. β
"Yes, sir."
Sun Yat-sen stood up with his hands on the edge of the circle chair, and glanced at the three people in the room with blazing eyes: "There is one more thing I want to tell you, I plan to appoint Chen Jingcun as the representative of the Protector Military Government." Go to Shanghai and negotiate with the Beiyang government on the peaceful reunification plan of 'inter-provincial autonomy'! β
Several people in the room were stunned when they heard this, and Jiang Jishi said in a low voice: "Sir, haven't you always opposed local autonomy?" β
Sun Yat-sen smiled coldly: "Yes, I am still against local autonomy now!" β
β¦β¦
At the beginning of February 1918, the civil war, which had lasted for more than half a year, seemed to have the dawn of peace.
Just one month after Feng Guozhang, the president of the Beiyang government, issued an armistice order, Sun Yat-sen, the nominal leader of the southwestern side, also issued a "peace telegram" entitled "Peaceful Reunification through the Autonomy of the United Provinces." As soon as this telegram came out. It shook the entire China in an instant. The chaotic situation and atmosphere since the Great War of the North and South were shaken away, and it also gave an illusory hope to the celebrities and gentry who were obsessed with local autonomy and peaceful reunification.
These celebrities and gentry also held the right of public opinion in China in this era, so as soon as this telegram came out, newspapers of all sizes in the north and south began to applaud it as soon as possible.
At the same time, almost all the provincial governors and overseers of China were also applauding Sun Yat-sen's telegram advocating the autonomy of the provinces. For the remainder of February, almost every day, the leaders of the self-respecting army issued telegrams in favor of inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification.
The people of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other big cities seem to have long been tired of the endless warlord civil wars, and they resolutely support any method of "peaceful reunification." In late February, the people of these three cities "spontaneously" organized a huge march and gave a loud applause to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's proposal for "inter-provincial autonomy." And the Kuomintang, which had just completed its reorganization, attracted a large number of supporters to join.
But all these jubilant people don't seem to notice a single fact. At the same time that Sun Yat-sen announced the telegram of "inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification". The Guangdong Army and the Fourth Division of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong have completed their reorganization and transformed into the "Protector Army" firmly controlled by Sun Yat-sen. Subsequently, Sun Yat-sen ordered the Gui Army stationed in Guangdong to accept the reorganization of the Protector Military Government. After being categorically rejected by Lu Rongting, Lin Hu, Shen Hongying and others, Sun Yat-sen ordered a war against the Gui army!
Moreover. Sun Yat-sen also announced the implementation of military administration in the whole province of Guangdong under the pretext of driving Gui, which opened the prelude to the implementation of military dictatorship in Guangdong!
At this time, Chang Ruiqing had already ended his trip to Guangzhou. With a "secret agreement" reached with Sun Yat-sen and a huge arms purchase contract issued by the Armaments Department of the French Protector Military Government, he returned to the Mawei Military Port in Fuzhou on the gunboat Yongfeng of the French Protector Navy.
By the way. Commander Chang, who suppressed the local autonomy forces in Fujian with an iron fist and took the lead in implementing military dictatorship, was the first of all the warlords in the country to send a telegram to respond to Sun Yat-sen's proposal of "inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification." In addition, Wang Shouchang, director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Foreign Affairs, was sent to Shanghai to attend the North-South peace talks on his behalf.
But. Fujian's military administration shows no signs of relaxation!
Chang Ruiqing had already planned that after he returned to Fujian, he would immediately start using the "permanent tenant and permanent rest method" to start Fujian's land reform, and strive to completely solve the land contradictions in Fujian Province within one year. Fujian will be thoroughly built into the most consolidated "revolutionary" life base.
However, our Changda Revolution family never thought of it again. When he announced the good governance of this land reform at the headquarters of the Preparatory Committee of the Central Government in Fuzhou, he heard a Hunan accent shouting "opposition" loudly.
Chang Ruiqing followed the voice and looked over, and saw a familiar face looking at him expressionlessly. Isn't that person the great leader of another time and space, Mao Taizu? Didn't he lead some Xinmin Society in Hunan to propagate GCISM? How did you get to Fuzhou?
"Comrade Yaoru (Mao ZD doesn't know that Chang Ruiqing is the lawless Zuomin)! I am not in favor of using the two methods of 'permanent tenant and eternal rest' to resolve the land contradiction in Fujian's rural areas. Mao Zd looked at Chang Ruiqing, who was stunned, and said lightly: "Because these two methods protect the interests of the landlord class to the greatest extent, they are a concession from the party to the landlord class!" It is a method of reconciling the sharp confrontation between the tenants and gentry in the rural areas of China, and it is a method of reconciliation, not a method of Marxism! It is to avoid the land revolution in the rural areas of China, not to mobilize the vast number of poor middle peasants to rise up and ...... life."
"Runzhi!" Before Mao ZD's words were finished, he was interrupted by Chen Duxiu. Chen Da Xi glared at Mao Zd with a gloomy face, and explained to Chang Ruiqing with a smile on his face: "Yaoru, this Comrade Mao Runzhi's ideas are a bit radical, I have already criticized him, don't take it to heart." β
Chang Ruiqing stood up. walked up to Mao ZD, smiled and held his hand: "Comrade Runzhi, I've admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect you to come to Fujian, it's really good." By the way, what's the situation in Hunan? I heard about the anti-imperialist struggle a while ago. Changsha is very fierce! β
Mao ZD frowned and said: "It's a pity that the workers and peasants were not really mobilized, and the movement was made to be anticlimactic, and Zhang Jingyao settled accounts after the autumn and drove our backbone out of Hunan." β
Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Failure is the mother of success! Comrade Runzhi, this time I discussed with Mr. Sun in Guangzhou the issue of Hunan's revolution, and Mr. Sun decided to launch a campaign to expel Zhang Jingyao from Hunan! Comrade Runzhi, you are now a well-known revolutionist in Hunan, so why don't you preside over the movement on behalf of our party? β
Mao ZD was slightly stunned, and looked at Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and Shao Piaoping. He just raised the "land reform issue" in fact, he discussed it with the three of them, and he picked the lead, and the other three people cooperated and acted for Chang Ruiqing. The purpose is not to really overturn Chang Ruiqing's land reform policy, they also know that that is completely unrealistic. Their original intention was to want a few towns to carry out the "Mao-style land reform" pilot, and at the same time to learn from the experience of the rural work of China and G. As a result, Chang Ruiqing ignored Mao Zd's questioning at all, but directly switched the topic to drive Zhang Yun.
However, driving Zhang 'Yun' to move is also a topic that Mao Zd is interested in, after all, he was driven to Fujian by Zhang Jingyao from Hunan not long ago, and it is not our Mao Da's temper to have revenge! Moreover, Mao ZD also keenly felt that Chang Ruiqing's proposal to expel Zhang must have been carefully considered, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind the expulsion.
Mao ZD thought about it for a while, and then he had already guessed a rough idea. He smiled slightly: "Comrade Yaoru, who will come to Zhuxiang after we drive Zhang Jingyao away?" It can't be Granny Tan, right? β
Chang Ruiqing smiled and asked, "Is Tan Weigong bad?" β
Mao ZD groaned for a moment and laughed: "The faint lord of the troubled times." The mediocre ministers who rule the world, except for being able to write a good hand, can do eight articles, it is not very useful. β
Chang Ruiqing nodded: "What Comrade Runzhi said is extremely true, after the success of this expulsion, it is true that Princess Tan Wei will not be allowed to Xiang, what Mr. Sun means is to let Princess Cheng Song Xiang." Comrade Runzhi. What do you think of Song Gong? β
Mao ZD shook his head and smiled: "Impossible, impossible." If Granny Tan is in charge of Xiang, Beiyang is still acceptable. If Song Gong is allowed to be the overseer of Hunan, I am afraid that the Great War between the North and the South will reopen! At present, Mr. Sun has just proposed 'inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification', should he not go back on his word so quickly? β
Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded: "Comrade Runzhi really has extraordinary insights!" Let's talk about it. After we succeed in driving Zhang, who will be the overseer of Hunan? β
Mao Zd thought for a while, then laughed, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "I understand, I understand, Mr. Sun is going to join Wu upside down!" After the success of driving Zhang, the main Hunan is Wu Peifu of the direct line of Beiyang! What a clever plan, what a clever plan! This Mr. Sun's current strategic skills are really rising, and he has taken two wonderful moves in a row, and now the two systems of Beiyang and Anhui have not completely torn their faces? When Beiyang united, it may not be the opponent of Fujian and Guangdong, and it will be divided in the future. Defeating them isn't just a matter of getting your hands dirty! Good! I took the task of driving Zhang, but ......"
Speaking of this, Mao ZD suddenly paused, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "But I am just a scholar, where can I have such appeal?" β
Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly, turned his head and looked at Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao: "Chen 'Lord' seat, Deputy Li's 'Lord' seat." The preparations for the first major of the Chinese G are almost there, right? When will it be successfully held? What position have you arranged for Comrade Runzhi? β
Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao knew that the other party did not plan to discuss the issue of land reform in Fujian anymore, so they were no longer reluctant. The current Zhongg is not supported by GC International, but raised by Chang RuiqinghuΔ...... Chen Duxiu smiled and took out a thick pile of official documents from his purse: "Comrade Yaoru, this is a topic that we want to discuss at the First National Congress, and there is a party constitution." The organizational methods of the Party, the list of Party delegates who participated in the First Congress, the list of members of the Central Committee of the Party, the list of members of the Central Bureau, the Southern Bureau, and the Northern Bureau, as well as the campaign plan for our Party to participate in the elections of the joint provincial councils. β
Chang Ruiqing took the thick pile of official documents and looked at it intently for a while. In fact, Chang Ruiqing had already learned about some of the contents of these texts through the agents of the GuΓ² Fuxing Society, but after he reprimanded Zhao Xiang'er, this woman did not report this information to him again, and I don't know if she ordered the spies to withdraw?
As for the party constitution and organizational methods proposed by Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and others to restrict themselves, Chang Ruiqing didn't care much. Because in his view, these methods only make GCD's decision-making more "democratic" and the way of struggle within the party is a little more modest. In addition, according to the design of Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, the current Zhongg will be a political party with public activities, and will form a campaign alliance with the Kuomintang to participate in the future "United Provincial Assembly" election!
In order to better prepare for the general election, the Central Committee will set up a Central Bureau in Shanghai with Comrade Chen Duxiu as the secretary as the supreme leadership organ of the Central Committee. In addition, there is Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Red Trade Union; Chang Ruiqing's younger brother Chang Ruiyuan was selected on behalf of his brother and was in charge of finance; There are also Shao Piaoping, who is in charge of publicity, and Mao Zd, who is in charge of the organization, and five other people will form the Central Bureau Committee.
China G will also set up three sub-bureaus under the Central Bureau: the Northern Bureau, the Southern Bureau and the European Bureau. He is responsible for the leadership and organization of GCD in the north, south and Europe of China. Among them, Li Dazhao was appointed as the secretary of the Northern Bureau, Chang Ruiqing was appointed as the secretary of the Southern Bureau, Zhang Guotao was appointed as the secretary of the European Bureau, and Zhou Elai, who led the student movement in Paris, was deputy.
To be honest, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao are indeed not masters of power struggles. He thought that by moving the headquarters of the Central Government to Shanghai, carrying out public activities, and not setting up any military committees, he would be able to restrain himself as a big warlord by following the route of the political party and government movements and the workers' movements...... As everyone knows, when they restricted themselves from controlling party affairs, they also gave the party one less opportunity to control the army!
As for the plan for the election of the "interprovincial council", they did it quite insightfully. Detailed arrangements were made for the selection of candidates, the campaign campaign momentum and propaganda, the co-optation and control of local forces, and the distribution of political territory with the Kuomintang. If the "inter-provincial parliament" really wants to be elected, the Central G is fully sure that it will be the second or third largest party in the parliament, although it is not comparable to Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang, but compared with the Anfu Club in the north and the research societies and comrades associations of Liang Qichao and Tang Hualong (all of which were split from the Progressive Party), I don't know how many times stronger.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, these plans are well done! It seems that the two of them are really great talents in political politics! Chang Ruiqing closed the text with a smile, and then turned his head to Mao ZD and said: "Comrade Runzhi, after the big one is over, you are the leader of the Central Committee of our party, and I, the secretary of the Southern Bureau, will ask you to take care of it!" With this title, it should be enough to preside over the movement, right? β
Mao ZD smiled faintly, of course he knew that he couldn't help Chang Ruiqing, a member of the Central Committee, but he knew the truth about the power coming out of the barrel of a gun! However, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao are still obsessed with the political party and the government, and they are unwilling to take the line of armed struggle to seize power...... I just don't know why the name of Comrade Zuo Min didn't appear in the list of leaders of the Central G? In fact, he is the best candidate for the book of the Central Bureau! (To be continued......)
