Section 30 Zhongshan Ship (11)

After seeing Wu Chaoshu come in, Feng Gui did not get up, but just nodded to him. Wu Chaoshu didn't care and sat straight opposite him.

"The time is ripe." The first sentence Feng Gui said made Wu Chaoshu's face look excited.

"That's great, he's going to move?" Wu Chaoshu picked up the wine pot and poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it all in one go.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, I still need to give him some pressure and you need to do it." Feng Gui said softly.

"How to let it go?" Wu Chaoshu asked.

"Everyone knows about your banquet for the Russians today. Tomorrow, you will invite the people from the principal's office and his adjutant to the table. You will say that..." Feng Gui's voice became even lower.

"You are not going to come forward yet?" Wu Chaoshu asked strangely.

"This step is very critical. If I can't come forward, he will doubt it." Feng Gui said calmly.

Wu Chaoshu closed his eyes and quickly left the plan again in his heart. He felt unsure. He said a little uneasy: "I feel unsure, will he believe it?"

"Maybe it may not, but this opportunity is rare, try it." Feng Gui said with a expressionless face: "There will be a ship carrying weapons in the Soviet Union to Huangpu tomorrow. With this condition, it can increase our chances of winning by three points, and the rest can only be left to fate."

Wu Chaoshu trembled all over and felt a little sad. He planned for so long, but his chances of winning were still so small..., for a while, he was unwilling to give in and drinks a sip of wine in a sip: "Can't you wait any longer? We may only have this chance."

Feng Gui was silent, staring at the picture of the ladies on the wall blankly, and after a long time, he said: "We don't have much time left. Feng Yuxiang won't be able to hold on for long. Once Feng Yuxiang is defeated, the Soviets will turn to support him in the Northern Expedition, and the conflict between him and Ji Jiashan will fade, so we must try it. Even if I have calculated that this matter will not be successful, it will not have much impact on both of us. All judgments are made by him. We just guide him. As long as we don't show up, we will have a chance in the future."

Wu Chaoshu looked at him solemnly, finally nodded, then stood up and left without saying a word. Feng Gui picked up the wine in front of him and toasted him in an open position opposite, and then drank it all in one go.

The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the heroes will never return once they leave.

Their plan was not perfect. In the most critical link, the reasons for prompting Chiang Kai-shek to take action were insufficient.

But an accident helped them a lot.

The public security situation on the water surface of Guangzhou is very poor. Water bandits and sea robbers often rob passing ships. The composition of these water bandits is very complicated. Some are scattered soldiers, some are gang members. There are also part-time fishermen. Usually merchant ships and passenger ships are their targets. They gather when committing crimes. After the case, they either hide in Hong Kong or hide in Macau. All previous governments in Guangdong were unable to eradicate these people. They had to strengthen patrols in key waters and send warships to escort important ships. Just as the plot of gathering virtuous deeds entered the final stage, a group of water bandits robbed the Ding'an ship from Shanghai to Guangzhou. The ship was moored upstream of Huangpu waiting for rescue. This made Kong Qingjun, director of the General Office of the Whampoa Military Academy, order the Whampoa Military Academy.

Send ships to protect the Whampoa Military Academy, but there is no ship to be sent. So I contacted the Military Academy's Office in Guangzhou, and Ouyang Zhong, the director of the Guangzhou Office, personally went to the Navy Bureau to negotiate. Since Li Zhilong was not in the Navy Bureau, Zou Yi, the head of the Navy Operations Section, had to promise to send two warships to Huangpu and be dispatched by the Whampoa Military Academy. However, Zou Yi's life must be approved by the Director Li Zhilong. Ouyang Zhong went to Wende Tower to find Li Zhilong, but Li Zhilong was still not at home. Only his wife Pan Huiqin was there, Ouyang Zhong had to leave a letter, saying that he was ordered by Principal Jiang to send two warships to Huangpu. After hearing the order of the principal, he left Zou Yi's letter. After Li Zhilong came back, he read Ouyang Zhong's letter from Zou Yi and ordered the Zhongshan ship to Huangpu.

After the Zhongshan ship arrived in Huangpu, Captain Zhang Tong went to the military academy to report that the military academy secretary Ji Fang sent an adjutant Huang Zhenwu to contact him, and then reported to the education chief Deng Yanda. Deng Yanda had not heard of this before, but at this moment he heard that he was at Chiang Kai-shek's order, so he ordered the Zhongshan ship to stay in Huangpu and wait for the order.

So, with the cooperation of various factors, a normal warship dispatch finally evolved into the Zhongshan ship incident that affected the development of modern history.

On the afternoon of the 19th, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek returned home, Chen Jieru came forward and asked, "Are you going to Huangpu today?"

"Yes, what are you asking about this?" Chiang Kai-shek was surprised. Chen Jie was so playful that he rarely asked about these things.

"Go with Mr. Wang?" Chen Jieru did not answer Chiang Kai-shek's question first, but continued to ask.

"No, he didn't ask me." Chiang Kai-shek didn't care, and replied casually.

"But Mrs. Wang said that her husband wanted to go with you, and asked you to board the boat at which dock." Chen Jieru then expressed her doubts. Chen Bijun looked down on Chiang Kai-shek and was arrogant in front of Chen Jieru. Chen Jieru was very disgusted with her.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned and looked at Chen Jieru, and Chen Jieru added: "Mrs. Wang called five or six times today, and they all asked the same thing. When did she care about you like this? I think you'd better not go to Huangpu today, and don't go."

In the past, Chen Jieru didn't care about politics, and occasionally asked because of curiosity, but Chiang Kai-shek's two assassinations in Guangzhou scared her, and therefore gradually began to pay attention to Chiang Kai-shek's affairs. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek's recent troubles could not be hidden from her.

"No, we have to have a meeting tonight." Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said after thinking about it.

"Then let's reschedule, I'll call them." Chen Jieru said and went to make a call. Shortly after the call, Chiang Kai-shek was changing his clothes and the phone rang again.

Chen Jieru picked up the phone, heard a word and said, "You wait a moment." After that, she handed the phone to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek took the phone and it was Li Zhilong who called it.

"Principal, I am Li Zhilong. The Soviet consultant proposed to visit the Zhongshan ship. If the principal has nothing to do, I will order the Zhongshan ship to return to Guangzhou." Li Zhilong's voice was enthusiastic. After he agreed to Zhuang Jihua, he had been paying attention, hoping to restore his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. Now he has a chance, of course he is unwilling to give up.

"Drive back? Drive back if you drive back, drive back. Where is the Zhongshan ship now?" Chiang Kai-shek asked casually.

"I'm in Huangpu, I went yesterday." Li Zhilong was obviously stunned on the phone. Wasn't it Chiang Kai-shek's order? Why didn't he know. But he didn't allow him to ask more, "Oh, then you can drive back." Chiang Kai-shek hung up the phone after saying that.

The Zhongshan ship went to Huangpu and went to Huangpu without my order. What happened? I didn’t tell me. I came back but asked me for instructions. Why? The more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more wrong he felt that the vague worry in the past few days was gradually becoming possible.

"Today, you don't go there, just stay at home." Chen Jieru looked at Chiang Kai-shek in contemplativeness, and she was also scared.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek was full of doubts, Chen Lifu came in from outside. He was here to send out the intelligence summary. Chiang Kai-shek temporarily put down his doubts and greeted him intimately. After Chen Lifu sat down, he wanted to speak but stopped. Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised and asked him what was wrong.

"Uncle San, are you going to Russia?" Chen Lifu surprised Chiang Kai-shek as soon as he spoke.

"Things are not." Chiang Kai-shek denied it completely.

"But I heard that you are going to Russia. The boat ticket and passport are ready, and you will leave in the next few days." Seeing Chiang Kai-shek denying it, Chen Lifu immediately felt something was wrong.

"Where did you hear it?" The doubts emerged from Chiang Kai-shek's mind again.

"Where did Wu Chaoshu, he said he invited Soviet Russian consultants to dinner yesterday, and the Soviet consultants revealed the ground during the meal." Chen Lifu replied.

Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly frightened. He thought about it and called Hu Jingan in and said to him: "Please come by Mr. Feng."

Feng Gui lived at Chiang Kai-shek's home. Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he lived with the guards on the other side of the villa. After a while, Feng Gui came. After listening to the situation introduced by Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Lifu, he was extremely excited. He never expected that his original concerns would be compensated by such coincidence. It was simply perfect. He strongly suppressed his emotions, pretended to ponder for a moment and thought about the words before saying to Chiang Kai-shek: "It seems that some people want to go to Shishi and follow the principal's measures to deal with Wang Dongcheng!"

Feng Gui's words made Chiang Kai-shek feel like he was seeing the sun. By connecting everything, he could get a reasonable explanation. When the Zhongshan ship went to Huangpu, he wanted to go to Huangpu for a meeting. In Huangpu, he kidnapped him onto the Zhongshan ship and then sent him to the Soviet ship. This is why Chen Bijun repeatedly confirmed whether he would go to Huangpu. After he was sure that he would not go to Huangpu, he thought that the conspiracy was exposed, so Li Zhilong deliberately asked him for instructions to transfer back to the Zhongshan ship, which was to eliminate the evidence.

After Chiang Kai-shek figured it out, he was shocked and angry, and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Niang Xipi! Wang Jingwei is going to use the knife. Niang Xipi!"

Feng Gui took the opportunity to say: "Principal, we cannot sit still and wait for death."

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand. He was very confused now. Feng Gui was a little anxious. He opened his mouth and said, "If you stop, you will suffer from it, Principal!"

Chiang Kai-shek knew Feng Gui's meaning, and after he figured it out, his first reaction was to mobilize troops, but then he denied this idea. The main force of the first army was in Chaoshan. Although the Second Division was in Guangzhou and Shilong had the newly established 20th Division, Li Jishen's troops also had two regiments in Guangzhou. Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide's troops were close at hand. If he really wanted to fight, he might not win. More importantly, he had been promoting revolution. Therefore, the whole army was deeply influenced by revolutionary ideas. If he could not stand the law, the army's thoughts would definitely fall into chaos, and the members of the open and dark were bound to rise up and cause chaos.

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and felt that he could not do it. He sighed and said in extreme pain: "Let's go to Shantou. Afeng, if you stay in Guangzhou, they will not be able to deal with the wife."

Feng Gui was shocked: "The principal must not go to Shantou, he cannot escape!"

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a while and finally said, "I'll go first, Lifu will go with me."

Chiang Kai-shek didn't want Chen Lifu to stay in Guangzhou. He was worried that Chen Lifu would be implicated. Feng Gui was so angry that he stamped his feet. He shouted at Chiang Kai-shek: "You have gone to Shantou, can you still come back?"

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was in a state of confusion and didn't care about thinking: "Although I discovered their conspiracy, others don't know that if I mobilize troops and rebel, they will have more reasons."

"It's better to stay here and wait for them to come. Shantou is definitely not a safe haven." Feng Gui refused to let him go. He didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek was so weak that he didn't dare to resist even if he put his knife on his neck.

Chen Lifu also said: "Why do we leave? Uncle San, why do they have to deal with you for so many years? Is it wrong to insist on the Prime Minister's idea? Even if they are dealing with them, they are wrong. Is it right to be a senior official?"

Chen Lifu's words touched Chiang Kai-shek. He stopped and thought repeatedly. Feng Gui and Chen Lifu did not speak anymore. They sat aside and quietly waited for Chiang Kai-shek's decision.

After swallowing the last trace of sunset in the night, Chiang Kai-shek stood up and said, "Call Liu Zhi."

Feng Gui was ecstatic. Of course he knew what this meant. Chiang Kai-shek would never have asked Liu Zhi to have tea. He hurried to the phone and picked up the phone. His hands were shaking slightly.

More than an hour later, Liu Zhi rushed to Chiang Kai-shek's house in Dongshan. As soon as he entered the door, Chiang Kai-shek said to him: "** Conspiracy to launch a rebellion, I want to quell the rebellion. Are you willing to go with me?"

Liu Zhi was shocked and did not even think about it carefully and immediately replied: "The officers and soldiers of the Second Division will always follow the principal and be loyal to the principal. I, Liu Zhi, are willing to be the principal."

"Okay!" Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "You go back to the army now, immediately martial law, arrest all the local officials in the army, transfer the troops into the city at 10 o'clock in the night, first surrounded the workers' pickets, sent troops to take over the Zhongshan ship, surrounded the Soviet consultant station, and all their guards were disarmed, Wende Tower,..., surrounded Wende Tower,..., occupied Guanyin Mountain with a regiment and established a position. The command center was located in the Mint."

After Liu Zhi left, Chiang Kai-shek said to Chen Lifu again: "Immediately send a report to He Yingqin and order him to seize all the troops in the army and the troops enter combat readiness. In addition, Qian Dajun of the 20th Division was ordered to seize the troops of the troops, and the troops immediately moved closer to Guangzhou. All telegrams were urgently 100,000."

Then Chiang Kai-shek called Ouyang Chuang and Chen Zhaoying and ordered them to carry out the task of arresting Li Zhilong.
