Section 45: Moving the Capital (2)

Jiang Xianyun hesitated for a moment. He did not believe Chiang Kai-shek's words very much. Although Chiang Kai-shek invited some troops to return to the first army after the Battle of Wuchang, it was hard to say whether it was his expedient approach.

His hesitation made Chiang Kai-shek see, but Chiang Kai-shek didn't care. It could be seen that Jiang Xianyun's temper has not been willing to call him the principal since now.

"You will be here these two days. I won't be in Wuhan for too long. Then we will go back to Jiangxi together." After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek patted his shoulder intimately.

"Yes." Jiang Xianyun replied.

Wang Shihe came in and reported: "The principal, the president and the chief physician are here, do you want to meet?"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua on the bed and said, "Of course I have to see them. I will go to see them and don't hinder the rest of the Cultural Revolution."

Zhuang Jihua couldn't speak, but thought that Chiang Kai-shek's purpose today would definitely not be to see how simple he was. It was just that he knew too little about the outside world and could not judge Chiang Kai-shek's purpose. Now he could only judge that he could win people's hearts, at least he could bribe him and Jiang Xianyun, but his purpose might be lost.

After Chiang Kai-shek left, Jiang Xianyun did not follow him, but walked to the window silently, opened the blinds, letting the winter sunlight shine, and then stood there looking out the window in a daze.

Zhuang Jihua knew Jiang Xianyun's thoughts. He wanted to go to the battlefield but could not bring soldiers, which made him very painful, but Zhuang Jihua could not help him. In fact, he only guessed that Jiang Xianyun's idea was more complicated. After the Zhongshan ship, Jiang Xianyun had deep suspicion of Chiang Kai-shek, but the latter always valued him very much. Even when he knew that he was a member of the **, he appointed him as a confidential staff officer. He took great care of his daily work and life, and all this could touch him, but his beliefs required him to keep a distance from Chiang Kai-shek.

"Wu... Mountain." Zhuang Jihua called softly.

Jiang Xianyun turned around and saw that he and Zhuang Jihua were the only ones in the house. The young nurse was not inside, so she walked to Zhuang Jihua's window a few steps: "Don't talk too much, I'm fine."

"Be careful." Zhuang Jihua said two simple words, and was sweating again.

Jiang Xianyun nodded and said softly: "I understand, don't worry. OK, don't talk anymore."

But Zhuang Jihua's words shocked Jiang Xianyun. In recent years, Zhuang Jihua's accuracy in predicting the development of the incident made him impressed. He also made him be careful in this situation. This shows that he is not optimistic about the current political situation at all, which shocked Jiang Xianyun.

Suddenly, Zhuang Jihua opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xianyun with some expectations, with a hint of hesitation.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Jiang Xianyun realized that Zhuang Jihua had something to explain, and it was likely to be risky.

"Follow him and influence him." Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a long time before he whispered in Jiang Xianyun's ear: "When he and your party send the sound tube and the coordinator."

Jiang Xianyun is not the best candidate, the best candidate is Zhou Enlai. But Zhuang Jihua didn't see him after being injured, and now he can't find a better candidate.

Jiang Xianyun understood that Zhuang Jihua actually never trusted Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards the country, or was always worried that Chiang Kai-shek would go wrong in the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Jiang Xianyun's vision was complicated to project on Zhuang Jihua, and the latter was also looking at him in a complicated manner.

Although he was not completely clear about Zhuang Jihua's intentions, Jiang Xianyun nodded and said, "Okay. I understand, I will do my best. But... forget it, we will talk after your injury heals."

Jiang Xianyun's question was, since you didn't believe in Chiang Kai-shek, why did you still follow Chiang Kai-shek? Jiang Xianyun thought of what the drunk Zhuang Jihua said that night, "I dare not," "Su Si", "can't escape...". Jiang Xianyun felt once again that mystery was full of mystery.

Zhuang Jihua guessed that Chiang Kai-shek's purpose in coming to the hospital was not just to see Zhuang Jihua. He did have a decision in his heart that he couldn't make it firmly and wanted to ask Zhuang Jihua for his opinions, but seeing Zhuang Jihua's appearance, he did not say it in the end.

After returning to the temporary headquarters, Deng Yanda and Chen Gongbo were still waiting for him in the headquarters. Deng Yanda was the commander of the siege of Wuchang, and Chen Gongbo was the one who stayed in Wuhan to deal with Tang Shengzhi, but Chen Gongbo's mind seemed not to be on this.

After Chiang Kai-shek exchanged a few greetings with them, the topic turned to the current situation.

"Tang Mengxiao wants to be the chairman of Hubei Province, and also wants to expand his army and expand his troops into four armies." Deng Yanda said undeniably.

"That's right, the revolutionary situation is developing very quickly. Nanchang has only been resolutely recovered for a few days. Liu Xiang, the commander of the 21st Army, suddenly issued a telegram yesterday. Today, he received telegrams from Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others, announcing his appointment as commander of the army we gave him. There was only Yang Sen and Liu Cunhou left in Sichuan at once." Chen Gongbo said with some emotion. These people had already contacted the Northern Expedition Army and had already approved the army number to them, but they had been slow to announce their appointment. Knowing that the war in Jiangxi was clear, Wu Peifu's main force was completely annihilated, and after Sun Chuanfang was defeated, he announced his appointment.

"The guys at both ends of the rat, no matter they are, as long as they don't threaten Wuhan from the west, so that we can rest assured to the Northern Expedition." Deng Yanda smiled and said, "Yang Sen's place is probably soon. Zhu De has gone to his place. The two of them were former friends of the Yunnan Army, and Zhu De is confident to pull him over. In addition, the famous Sichuan Army general Liu Bocheng has also entered Sichuan, and it will be not long before they will have news. These warlords will be eliminated sooner or later."

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "It is better to appease these people. Our main enemies are Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang. Zhang Zuolin in the north may also be in trouble."

"Oh, does the Commander-in-Chief have any information?" Deng Yanda asked.

"Not yet," Chiang Kai-shek did not say the information in his hand: "I just infer that there was a hot mass south of the Yangtze River. Zhang Zuolin in the north could not have reacted without any reaction. But he wanted to react, and the most worried thing might be Wu Peifu who was trapped in Luoyang. Haha."

Chiang Kai-shek was very happy and his words were a little funny. Deng Yanda and Chen Gongbo both smiled knowingly.

"After Wuchang is over, the matter in Hubei Province needs to be resolved. The Prime Minister once said during his lifetime that there are two most suitable places in China as the capital. First, Nanjing is Nanjing and second, Wuhan. Now that Nanjing has not been restored, Wuhan is naturally our choice, so I think the National Government should move the capital to Wuhan as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek put forward the plan he prepared. He was unwilling to hand over Hubei to Tang Shengzhi, and moving the National Government to Wuhan would not only suppress Tang Shengzhi and facilitate control. For him, he would kill two birds with one stone.

Deng Yanda and Chen Gongbo were very surprised. They did not expect Chiang Kai-shek to propose the move to Wuhan now. Then both of them understood Chiang Kai-shek's intention, but they only saw one aspect, suppressing Tang Shengzhi.

They have no good feelings for Tang Shengzhi, Deng Yanda and Chen Gongbo. They all think that he is a speculative revolution, but they also think that they should unite him and gradually transform him.

"Relocation is a major event and must be approved by the Central Committee." Deng Yanda hesitated and said that he did not object to the capital relocation itself. Guangzhou was too far from the center of China, which was not conducive to promoting the revolution. However, he instinctively believed that when Chiang Kai-shek proposed to move the capital at this time, he was afraid that the Central Committee of Guangzhou and Borotin would not agree easily.

Deng Yanda had a lot of contact with Guangzhou and knew more about the background of the reinstatement of Wang. The root cause was that after the Zhongshan ship, some people in the Kuomintang were dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's overall control of the power of the party, government and military, and ** was full of doubts about Chiang Kai-shek. The two groups joined forces to divide the power in Chiang Kai-shek's hands, but Chiang Kai-shek would not easily hand over the power in his hands.

"Yes, yes, so I would like to invite you to go back to Guangzhou to attend the joint meeting of the Central Committee and local party departments, and to say what I mean and convince them to move to Wuhan as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said that the convening of this joint meeting was against his wishes. The main topic of this joint meeting was to restore Wang Jingwei, and more profoundly, to amend the organizational regulations of the General Command to bring back the party power and the regime from Chiang Kai-shek. The promoter behind this meeting was Borotin, who knew these Chiang Kai-shek well.

Deng Yanda thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to go back, but the joint meeting will start tomorrow. I'm just leaving now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

Deng Yanda's original intention was to refuse tactfully, but he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek had prepared: "It's okay, I'll send you a plane to take you back."

Deng Yanda nodded helplessly and accepted the task: "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye and go back and prepare. What else should the commander-in-chief explain?"

Chiang Kai-shek took out a letter and said, "This is a letter I wrote to the contact meeting. Please read it at the meeting."

The letter was not banned, and Deng Yanda took it and opened it in front of Chiang Kai-shek. It wrote Chiang Kai-shek's various reasons for moving the capital. The most important sentences were: "…Wuchang defeated the situation and the party should seek development quickly. The Party and government agencies of China and Italy remained in Guangzhou; and the Executive Committee was moved to Wuchang for convenience. Otherwise, the government would stay in Guangdong and the Party headquarters of the Central Committee would move Hubei to Hubei to develop the party affairs..." At the end, Chiang Kai-shek warned: "The government and the central government should move from remote Guangzhou to China's hinterland with the development of the revolution. Only in this way can the results of the Northern Expedition be consolidated, the confidence of the people can be encouraged, and the revolution can continue to develop."

After watching it, Deng Yanda nodded to Chiang Kai-shek and said, "I will definitely read it at the meeting and will try my best to convince the meeting to make a decision to satisfy the commander-in-chief."

After saying that, he got up and left. Chen Gongbo also planned to say goodbye when he saw this. He felt a little boring, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't say a word to him at all.

"Gongbo, don't leave, let's talk again." Seeing that Chen Gongbo was about to leave, Chiang Kai-shek immediately tried to keep him.
