462 rushed to take the exam, picked nine peaches, begged for tickets, and begged for subscriptions

"So, you're ready?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at his good student Maggie. I saw that his breathing was slightly short, and his eyes showed a bit of fanaticism. Luo Yaoguo was a little stunned. Looks like another person who is about to be lost by power

"Okay, everything is ready...... Mai Qi Dorjee's tone trembled slightly: "We have bought off a group of Tibetan army officers who are dissatisfied with the Buddha. As long as General Liu Ziqian's army approached Qamdo, the Buddha would definitely order the Tibetan army to go to the Qamdo area to set up defenses. When the time comes...... He launched a mutiny and returned to Lhasa to control the Potala Palace. At the same time, we will also send assassins to kill the Living Buddha of Rezhen, and let the Living Buddha of Danjilin be the regent and preside over the overall situation. My father will be the chief Gelen, and the student will be the commander-in-chief of the Tibetan army. ”

"Oh, then Tibet will be the world of your Maggie." Luo Yaoguo just glanced at Maggie Dorjee coldly.

"No, no...... Everything is only the teacher's head. Tibet will always be a part of China, and we will send him to you as soon as the new Lai Lama is elected. Maggie Dorjee was swept away by Luo Yaoguo's cold eyes, and unconsciously shuddered, and hurriedly confessed.

"Hehe......" Luo Yaoguo just sneered: "It doesn't matter if Tibet is the world of your Maggie's family, I trust you." When the time comes, I will order Liu Wenhui to station the main force in Qamdo, send a regiment to Yadong, and a regiment to Ali. There are no garrisons in any other places, just let your Magi's family manage it. From now on, the Han system will be in the east of Qamdo, and the west of Qamdo will still be the same, Liu Wenhui must not interfere in civil affairs, what do you think? ”

In just a few words, the territory of Tibet, as well as the millions of serfs living on it, were all promised to Maiqi Renci and Maiqi Dorjee, the father and son who seemed to be a bit of a hero. As for how the father and son would manage this territory and how they would treat their fellow clansmen, Luo Yaoguo didn't bother to think about it. As for promoting social progress in Tibet and liberating millions of serfs...... Then wait for the 14th D Lai to think about it yourself when he grows up and becomes pro-government. Luo Yaoguo just brought the 14th Lai Lai, who didn't know where he was, to Wuhan and raised him in his own home.

Maybe the happiness came too suddenly, Maggie and his son were stunned for a moment before they both reacted. hurriedly leaned over and saluted, respectfully not even daring to look at Luo Yaoguo, for fear that this "assistant commander" who controlled the glory and wealth of their family would take Tibet back if he was unhappy.

Beijing, Tieshi Hutong, Ministry of War of the Central Government.

"Brother Yuting, Mr. Zhou. We Chinese always talk about decency, our own decency, and the decency of the country. You can't make the world's powers laugh, can you? For example, in this peace talks with Japan, our own family members should always speak the same language, so that we can negotiate with little Japan, right? And how can you Feng Department and GCD ...... Can't get into a dispute over a little thing? The ministers of Britain, France, and the United States have already said that if the peace talks cannot be held as scheduled because of our reasons, they will have to lift the sanctions against Japan. When the time comes, both of you will not be able to get off the stage."

It was Wu Peifu who said this. These days, there has been no progress in the "peace talks" between China and the Bong faction, and the two sides have been arguing over issues such as turf, customs, and the Northeast Free Trade Zone, and they have not budged an inch. As a result, peace talks with Japan have been delayed again and again...... In the end, Britain, the United States and France, which intervened, approached Premier Zeng Qi and put pressure on him. Zeng Qi had no choice but to ask Wu Peifu, an "old-timer", to come forward and put a "head wine" in the War Department. Zhang Zuolin, the big boss of the Feng department, and Zhou E, the actual head of Zhong G, were invited to come, and everyone sat down and had a good talk.

"yes, yes. We are all Chinese, how can we hurt our peace for a little profit? Yang Yongtai didn't know what was going on and received an invitation, and then he took over with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Zhou, look down...... This time, your party's power expansion is enough. Shandong got thirty-four counties north of the Yellow River, and now Zhang Yushuai is willing to take Chahar out to settle Feng Huanzhang. Who this Feng Huanzhang is now, we all know in our hearts. Therefore, your Red Army should withdraw from Zhili and Manchuria, and Beijing will still be under the joint management of Wu Yushuai's Third Division, the Feng Army, and the Red Army, and the thousands of people of our Kuomintang will be withdrawn and the quota will be given to your party. ”

"What?" Zhou Elai was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Yang Yongtai, who was white and chubby, with a smile on his face. Xin said: "It seems that Sun Yat-sen will not return to Beijing." In this way, Beijing's status will inevitably decline, and Wuhan will faintly have the status of the second capital...... The next step may be to merge the central government with the national government. ”

Zhang Zuolin touched his beard: "The old man didn't have a white beard before he entered Beijing, and it's only been a few years...... It's already an old man with a gray beard, and he doesn't know how many years he still has to live. I really can't figure it out, why did you GCD sharpen your head and drill into this trap? Or not...... Our Feng army also withdrew from Beijing, and gave the 5,000 garrison quota to you Zhong G, Duan Zhi Lao now has no soldiers and no generals, and I am in charge of giving you the quota of the Anhui system, plus the quota of the Kuomintang. Your Red Army has 20,000 troops stationed in Beijing, Wu Yushuai's Third Division is also 20,000, and the rest of the Red Army has withdrawn from Zhili. Mr. Zhou, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhou Elai raised his eyebrows, the main force of the Red Army withdrew from Zhili, and Beijing was jointly managed by the Red Army and Wu Peifu's army. This is within the acceptable range of China G. Besides, more than 100,000 Red Army can't always be stationed in Zhili, not to mention anything else, the Kuomintang army in the south and the youth army in the west are not very friendly. As for the more than 10,000 Red Army troops of Zhang Guotao and Ye Ting in the northeast, the cat did not eat or drink in the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the contradiction between the two people was too great...... It's better to go back. Thinking of this, Zhou Elai didn't continue to dwell on this issue: "Okay, our party will also take a step back, and all the Red Army in Zhili will withdraw except for 20,000 people." The Red Army in the northeast also withdrew. ”

"Good, good...... That's right. How can we Chinese not step down for such a trivial matter? Wu Peifu was overjoyed when he heard this, his last bit of capital, the third division of 20,000 people, finally had a small territory this time.

"Brother E, the matter of the garrison has been negotiated, and now it's time to talk about customs." Zeng Qi approached Zhou E with a smiling face.

There are two main aspects of customs affairs, one is the Northeast Free Trade Zone. I don't know how this term came up with it? In short, Zhang Zuolin proposed such a thing. In addition, several provinces in the customs area were established as an independent customs territory, which was jointly administered by the Central G, Yan Xishan, and Feng departments, and all customs revenues were at the disposal of the coalition government. In addition, salt taxes are also paid in all provinces under the jurisdiction of the coalition government. These two revenues constitute the main source of finance for the coalition government. However, the land endowment, commercial tax, and centigold in various places are "self-collected and self-financed".

However, under this plan, the four northeastern provinces will still have ultra-low tariffs, and tax revenues will not go to the coalition government...... As a result, the coalition government's revenues were immediately reduced by more than half, and the market in the north was suddenly much smaller. It is also very unfavorable to the economic construction and development of heavy industry in China and G, so Zhou Elai will not let go.

"Brother E, what calculations are our various factions making at the moment, everyone knows it in their hearts, and I don't know it." Zeng Qi gently turned the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "To be fair, Yushuai's Feng family is also in a dilemma, the Japanese have penetrated deeply in the Northeast and have great power, it is unimaginable that you have not experienced it personally." If this will, we will insist on taking back the tariff autonomy of the Northeast...... I'm afraid that the Japanese will tear their faces and fight us to the end. When the time comes, will you go and ask them to send troops again? Who will this Northeast fight to belong? When this meat gets into the wolf's mouth, will it still be spit out? ”

Zhou Elai nodded noncommittally. Zeng Qi smiled and continued to enlighten: "To be honest, after this round of Sino-Japanese war. The people of the whole country have already realized the combat effectiveness of the Red Army, and your Red Army is only inferior in weapons and equipment, and the Japanese army is much worse than you when it comes to not being afraid of death or hardship. I believe that as long as you have half of the heavy weapons of the Japanese army, you will definitely be able to defeat them, why don't you endure for a few years, why don't you wait until the heavy industry in Baotou has a small success, and then cancel the Northeast Free Trade Zone? When the time comes, it will be a war with the Japanese, and we will have nothing to fear."

Zhou Elai took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this is the only way to do it now...... Let's take back the tariff autonomy in the customs first, and the tariffs in the northeast will be a few years away. However, we must hurry up and do the construction of a coastal defense fortress at Dagukou, otherwise as long as we have a conflict with the Japanese, they will be able to land from Tianjin and drive straight into Beijing, which is tantamount to opening the country wide. ”

……

On June 1, the 17th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese Foreign Minister Baron Kishigero Bihara arrived in Beijing as a special envoy of the Japanese government. This day coincided with the announcement of the results of the "referendum" in Outer Mongolia. As expected, more than 98 percent of adult citizens in Mongolia chose the Republic of China as their homeland.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations on your country finally getting Mongolia." As soon as Kishigero Bihara saw Wang Jingwei who came to greet him at the train station, he was busy saying hello, although his tone was full of sour vinegar.

Wang Jingwei shook hands with Biyuan and smiled politely: "This is also a blessing for your country." If it had not been for your country's defeat of the Soviet Union in the Second Russo-Japanese War, the Mongolian question would not have been so easy to solve. ”

Kishigero Bihara smiled faintly: "Fortunately, this time a little misunderstanding between our two countries did not affect your referendum. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit. ”

Wang Jingwei's expression was also indifferent, and he just politely made a gesture of surprise, and invited the coin into the car parked on the side of the platform. When the accompanying adjutant closed the car door, Wang Jingwei sighed lightly and spoke fluent Japanese: "This battle is really a lose-loser, the photos taken by the war reporters in Jinan are too tragic, and the corpses are everywhere...... The whole battlefield is full of dead men, and this kind of war is really not beneficial to our two countries at all."

Kishigero Bihara twisted his beard with a very serious expression: "I'm here to end this senseless war." The price we both paid for this war was too heavy. Speaking of this war, he, the foreign minister, also used to strongly support it, but he poked out such a big basket. If it weren't for the fear of pain, I would have found a place where no one was seppuku a long time ago.

Wang Jingwei nodded solemnly: "It would be great if it could be like that." It's just that...... Our country was not the losing side in this war, so reparations are absolutely impossible. ”

"Oh."

"Of course, we will not ask your country for compensation, although ...... Our losses are also enormous. ”

"As promised."

"In addition, we are willing to redeem the assets belonging to the Japanese side in Qingdao at a fair price and recover the Qingdao concession."

"This is something that our country can consider." Kishigero Bihara twisted his beard and nodded.

"In that case, how about the negotiations between us that are considered to be successful?"

"Oh?"

Kishigero Bihara tilted his head slightly: "So, can an armistice agreement between our two countries be reached?" We can accept all of the above conditions. ”

Wang Jingwei shook his head slowly: "That's not it. It's just that the rest of the negotiations have nothing to do with me, and Zhou Elai of the Chinese GCD and Zhang Xueliang of Fengjun will put forward their conditions. This is the current China, and Mr. Bihara must have known it for a long time, right? Wang Jingwei stopped and sighed slightly: "They want a lot more than us, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

Kishigero Bihara looked at Wang Jingwei and said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a gentle guy, but it's a pity that he is no longer the main figure in the Kuomintang......

Although China G wants a lot, it doesn't have to negotiate with Japan in everything. For example, with regard to "negotiated tariffs," Britain, the United States, and France happily revised the "Treaty of Nanjing," the "Wangxia Treaty," and the "Whampoa Treaty," deleting all the clauses in them that undermined China's tariff autonomy. This was not only because the three of them now supported the Kuomintang, but also because of the Middle East Road and the Battle of Shandong. Such a country, which has taught both Japan and Russia a lesson, is of course entitled to take back its tariff autonomy. As for the withdrawal of the Japanese garrison from Tianjin and the permission to build forts at Dagukou, the two related to the Treaty of Xincho, and Japan also made concessions in the negotiations. After all, the Feng department also won the "Free Trade Zone of the Three Eastern Provinces" for them. In fact, with the Japanese occupation of the Kanto Prefecture and the control of the South Manchurian railway line, they did not need this "free trade zone" at all to dump goods into the Northeast through smuggling.

Therefore, the negotiations on the Sino-Japanese armistice agreement actually did not go through several rounds of confrontation before an agreement was finally reached. On 11 June, Japan's chief negotiator, Kishigero Bihara, signed the "Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement" with China's chief negotiator Wang Jingwei at the Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, and the Sino-Japanese Shandong War, which lasted more than two months, finally came to an end.

……

"1. The complete withdrawal of Japanese troops from Shandong Province in China. The property of the Japanese Government in Qingdao was redeemed by the Nationalist Government of China at a fair price.

2. The complete withdrawal of Japanese troops from the province of Zhili in China. The Japanese concession of Tianjin was retained.

3. China may build a defensive fortress in the area of Dagukou in Zhili, but the caliber of the cannons shall not exceed 16 inches.

Fourth, China stopped paying Gengzi indemnity to Japan.

5. Japan agrees that China will fully withdraw its tariff autonomy, and that all contents of the Sino-Japanese treaties that undermine China's tariff autonomy shall become invalid with immediate effect.

6. China and Japan promise each other that they will never again infringe on each other's territory and rights and interests.

7. The dispute between China and Japan over the Kwantung Prefecture Concession and the South Manchurian Railway shall be settled through negotiations.

8. Japan waives all claims for compensation in connection with the Jinan incident. ”

In the well-decorated office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, which belonged to Luo Yaoguo, Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo sat silently opposite each other. Natalie stood behind Luo Yaoguo, holding the telegram she had just received about the contents of the "Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement", and in a sweet and greasy voice, she read the main articles of the armistice agreement one by one.

"Alas...... Or let them get their way. Chiang Kai-shek's face was slightly pale, his brows furrowed tightly, and he seemed very dissatisfied with these armistice terms.

Luo Yaoguo shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "It's okay this way, they can resist the Japanese invasion for us, and we can also do other things with peace of mind, such as expanding to the west or south." ”

"Do you still think Japan will invade Tohoku?" Chiang Kai-shek had a disdainful expression on his face and smiled coldly: "I think Japan will not dare to provoke us after this lesson, and we will ...... It's time to think about Anne. Only when you settle down can your westward expansion and southward expansion be realized, otherwise hundreds of thousands of GCD Red Army and National Army are holding back behind us, and we can't move."

"Anne?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of anger. I don't know what kind of blood feud this He Zhong G had in his previous life? Why do you always want to deal with these people?

"Brother Fuwen, with the high efficiency and unity of China and G, coupled with the resources of the north, I estimate that it will not take a few years for them to develop heavy industry. At that time, it will be a big disaster, and now is the time when they are the weakest, there is no need for us to take action at all, as long as the Youth Army joins forces with Yan Xishan in Shanxi, most of them can be wiped out."

In this time and space, Chiang Kai-shek is not the kind of person who has the final say, but only one of the five bigwigs of the Kuomintang. And now Sun Yat-sen doesn't want to break with GCD, so he can only come to Luo Yaoguo, who controls the intelligence bureau and Wang Zizhi's force.

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "Jiegong, if we really attack Zhong G now, I'm afraid that this trouble will be even more difficult to clean up." Let's let them develop, maybe they will end up with us in the future? ”
