Section 77 Suppressing the rebellion (1)
The Shimin Earth Factory in the State Council, the Grand Marshal's Headquarters.
"Bang" "It's too much." Hu Hanmin clapped heavily on the table and four words popped out from the cracks of his teeth.
"Brother Haibin, did he really say that?" The person who spoke was Hu Hanmin's cousin Hu Yisheng, who still had a look of surprise on his face.
"Well, his original words were to ask the deputy general to order the student army to fight for three days first, and I won't fight back within three days." Zou Lu smiled bitterly. He originally did not agree with the fight against the rebellion by force, so when Hu Hanmin expressed his hope that he would go to Hong Kong to persuade Yang Ximin, he agreed without any hesitation. In his opinion, Hu Hanmin is very sincere and the benefits he promised is not low. As long as Yang Ximin does not rebel, Hu Hanmin can reorganize the base camp according to his wishes. With such conditions, Yang Ximin not only refused to accept it, but also spoke wildly. Now his mission has completely failed, and it is impossible to avoid fighting the rebellion by force.
"Zhantang, I said I didn't need to send someone to go, this is to bring shame to myself." Liao Zhongkai said coldly. When Yang Ximin first revealed his rebellion, he strongly advocated the transfer of the Eastern Expedition Army back to quell the rebellion, but Hu Hanmin refused, hoping to convince Yang Ximin to solve the problem without using force.
Liao Zhongkai made Hu Hanmin even more ashamed. He sat there in a complicated mood, angry, regretful, and all kinds of feelings were intertwined. Seeing that Hu Hanmin was a little embarrassed, Hu Yisheng said: "What's the use of talking about these now? Let's talk about what to do in the future."
"I still say the same thing, Ji Jieshi and Ru came back to suppress the rebellion and completely resolve the Gui army." Liao Zhongkai was very angry. The troops in the Eastern Expedition have now been rested and have high morale. They can completely solve the Gui army and completely eliminate this cancer.
"Gui Army? Can it be solved separately? Liu Zhenhuan and Yang Ximin are still different." Zou Lu and Liu Zhenhuan had a good relationship, especially when Zou Lu was in charge of Sun Yat-sen University two years ago, there was a lack of funds and the provincial government was helpless. It was Liu Zhenhuan who gave up several taxes to help Zou Lu overcome the difficulties. Now seeing that Liao Zhongkai even had to match Liu Zhenhuan, Zou Lu wanted to plead for him.
"It's all birds of a feather. It's all the same." Liao Zhongkai insisted. He didn't plan to give in any further. Since the Gui army entered Guangzhou, it took prostitutes, gambling, selling opium, and disrupting the finances, Guangzhou citizens have long hated them, especially because they intercepted taxes. Now the Guangdong Finance and Taxation Bureau is basically an empty arsenal. Now they are using the excuse that the base camp has Soviet aid to further embezzle the taxes belonging to the Finance and Taxation Bureau. It has reached the point where it is not possible to eliminate them.
Hu Hanmin felt that what Zou Lu said was still reasonable, especially after the compromise plan he proposed failed, he could not completely adopt Liao Zhongkai's proposal, otherwise it would be a huge blow to his prestige.
"Zhongkai, I think Haibin makes sense. You can put Liu Zhenhuan aside first and knock Yang Ximin off first."
Liao Zhongkai looked at Hu Hanmin excitedly. He didn't understand what happened to Hu Hanmin. Zou Lu was a scholar. He only saw Liu Zhenhuan treat him well, but he didn't see Liu Zhenhuan treating Guangzhou, but Hu Hanmin shouldn't do this.
"Zhantang. Liu Zhenhuan is as bad as Yang Ximin. He has put them in the same position. Isn't Guangzhou cleaner? What's there to hesitate to do?"
"Doesn't it be a way to deal with it separately reduce resistance and increase your confidence in victory? I'm just thinking about the overall situation." Hu Hanmin still insisted.
"Zhantang, I don't want to say anything more. Now that the rebellion is quenched, it is already an arrow that cannot be delayed anymore. I suggest convening a central meeting, which will be decided by the meeting." Liao Zhongkai felt that there would be no result if he continued to argue like this, so he simply held a meeting. He was confident that he would win the support of most people at the meeting.
"Okay, I agree, it will be opened tomorrow." Hu Hanmin also felt that it was meaningless to continue fighting. No one knew how much time Yang Ximin would give them, so let the meeting make a decision.
In order to please Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei even changed the Prime Minister's last words at the Chiang Kai-shek Supervisory Office meeting, saying that the Prime Minister was still chanting: "Huangpu, Huangpu." But when I was sitting early, I learned from the newspaper that the Prime Minister said "peace, struggle, and save China." Even so, Chiang Kai-shek was still very grateful to Wang Jingwei for his praise and reciprocity. He also took time to accompany Wang Jingwei to visit the famous places and historical sites in Chaozhou. The two of them laughed and got along very happily during the whole process.
However, Chiang Kai-shek was also clear about Wang Jingwei's purpose. After Zhuang Jihua arrived, he reported to Chiang Kai-shek about his judgment on Wang Jingwei's purpose of coming to Chaozhou. After two days of observation, Chiang Kai-shek affirmed Zhuang Jihua's judgment, but he also determined that Wang Jingwei was more beneficial to him than Hu Hanmin.
The biggest difference between Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin is that Wang Jingwei has a weaker foundation. Hu Hanmin has long served as Sun Yat-sen's deputy and has a group of people under his command. Wang Jingwei went to France after the success of the National People in 1911. For a period of time, he traveled outside the core circle of the Kuomintang. More importantly, Wang Jingwei had never dealt with the army. Hu Hanmin had some support from the Guangdong Army, but Wang Jingwei did not. If he wanted to hold the army, he would have almost no one to choose outside of him.
After returning to the Administrative Office in the evening, Zhuang Jihua gave him a latest report on the situation in Guangzhou. In view of the current situation in Guangzhou, Zhuang Jihua asked the radio station located in Huangpu to send a report on the situation every day so that Chiang Kai-shek could understand the situation in Guangzhou in a timely manner.
"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhuang Jihua after reading the situation report.
"The order to suppress the rebellion may be issued soon, and we can prepare." Deng Wenyi successfully developed an intelligence officer in Shimin Land Factory. The level of this intelligence officer was not very high. He only learned about the failure of the peace talks after Zou Lu came back.
Zhuang Jihua immediately took out a map and opened it in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Today he did not go out with Chiang Kai-shek, just stayed in the Supervisory Office to fiddle with the map.
"Principal, this is the latest plan of the Gui army's military force."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and his face gradually became a little surprised as he looked: "Cultural Revolution, are you sure that's right? These should be confidential information, how did you get it?"
"Yang Ximin is too arrogant, but he never thought that not everyone is as confident as him. Fan Hanjie bribed the combat staff in his headquarters and easily got his combat deployment. After investigation, it was completely true." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and laughed again: "Principal, Yang Ximin is not afraid of leaking the secrets at all, so why are you worried about him?"
Chiang Kai-shek ignored Zhuang Jihua's joke, but shook his head and sighed: "Yang Ximin's fight from Yunnan to Guangdong is also considered a hero for a while, this time he's done it." Zhuang Jihua's lips curled, "What kind of hero is this? A reckless warrior. Chiang Kai-shek raised his head, and Zhuang Jihua hurriedly held his face upright.
"Tell me, if it were you, what would you plan to fight?"
Chiang Kai-shek's words were somewhat beyond Zhuang Jihua's expectations. Chiang Kai-shek had consulted his opinions before, but it was mainly political strategy. A few strategies had never asked him about specific tactics, and he did not intend to contribute to this industry. Political strategy strategies had the results of his previous life, and he would have been indifferent to it even if he thought about it again, so he would not have to worry about it.
Zhuang Jihua had never thought about the specific tactics now, so he honestly said: "The students had never thought about it." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly: "Then think about it now."
Zhuang Jihua was helpless. He knew Gui Jun's defense well and didn't have to look at the map. He quickly looked for Gui Jun's defensive loopholes in his mind.
Yang Ximin knew very well that his success was all about whether he could defeat the Eastern Expedition Army that returned to the army, so he arranged the main force Zhao Chengliang Division on the front line of Shilong Shitan and built the main position in Shougouling; he adopted a strategy of contraction defense against Tan Yankai of Beijiang and Li Jishen of Xijiang, and implemented defense based on Guanyin Mountain, which was mainly carried out by Liu Zhenhuan, the Gui Army, who had relatively weak combat power.
Yang Ximin's third army, Hu Sishun's troops, were still on the front line of Huizhou and did not retract back to Guangzhou in time, so his troops were somewhat insufficient. The entire deployment was heavy in front and the troops in Guangzhou were weak.
"This is a deployment that is more important than the front and less expensive. I will attack you. But where does the troops come from? Why does Yang Ximin like Chiang Kai-shek to use Shilong Shitan Shougouling as a battlefield? Another graduation exercise, tmd." If you want to graduate exercise, Zhuang Jihua's eyes lit up and he had an idea in his mind:
"If I were to fight, I would use my main force to attract the enemy's main force in the Shilong Stone Beach area, and then use surprise troops to land near the Liede Fort to attack the enemy's back. In this way, the front will inevitably collapse, and then divide the troops into two groups, the main force attacks Shougouling, and the other route will detour the city to attack Guanyin Mountain."
After listening to Zhuang Jihua's words, Chiang Kai-shek was satisfied, but his tone was still stern: "Send surprise troops? Where does the troops come from?"
"There are about 1,300 students in the military academy, 400 students, and a total force of about 1,800. We can now transfer troops back to the military academy in the name of students returning to school, so that we can gather about 3,000 troops in the military academy, and then these 3,000 people can be inserted into Yang Ximin's heart like a knife."
After listening to Zhuang Jihua's combat deployment, Chiang Kai-shek finally couldn't help but smile: "Very good, Cultural Revolution, I think you can lead a regiment."
At the base camp meeting held in Shimin Tuchang Factory, Liao Zhongkai had a fierce debate with Hu Hanmin. He clearly told Hu Hanmin not to place hope for Liu Zhenhuan. They were on the same boat. Without Liu Zhenhuan's support, Yang Ximin would not be so arrogant even if he would rebel. Liao Zhongkai's claim was supported by the officers led by Tan Pingshan. The Guangzhou District Committee was also worried about the situation in Guangzhou. After several discussions, it decided to promote the Kuomintang to quell the rebellion, and at the same time, it was secretly mobilized within the party, ready to support the fight against the rebellion at any time.
The real decision was Borotin. After Sun Yat-sen's death, Borotin's status in the base camp did not decline but rose. The resolution of the base camp would be difficult to pass without his support. What led to Borotin's determination was Galen. After the Eastern Expedition, Galen had extremely high confidence in the existing party army in the former school army, and he proved that the combat effectiveness of the party army could completely defeat Yang Ximin's double-sling soldiers.
