"What are our Northern Expeditions doing? Are we fighting for their territory?" Zhang Fakui said angrily: "Is the Hanyang Arsenal a national or private? I don't understand why some troops of the same Northern Expedition Army are treated better than other troops? If this continues, just return to Guangdong!"

The generals present reacted differently to Zhang Fakui's words. Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi's faces changed at the same time, but Chiang Kai-shek's expression flashed. Tang Shengzhi was angry, while Wang Tianpei and other generals showed their approval and appreciation.

"The output of the Hanyang Arsenal cannot meet the supply of all our troops. In addition, due to the destruction of Wu Peifu, even the first army of our Eighth Army cannot meet the monthly output. It is not that I intentionally refuse to give it!" Tang Shengzhi was also very angry. After his troops entered Hanyang, he took over the Hanyang Arsenal. All the weapons and equipment produced by the Arsenal were transported to the Eighth Army by him. No bullet was given to the other troops: "If you don't believe it, you can ask He Jian and Liu Zuolong!"

Tang Shengzhi stood up angrily: "I, Tang Mengxiao, have never had selfish intentions in participating in the Northern Expedition? I didn't expect you to be so suspicious. Commander-in-chief, I will go back to Hunan and the Eighth Army will be given to you for command!"

After saying that, he grabbed his hat and was about to leave. The Eighth Army generals stood up almost at the same time. Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Keyu hurriedly held him down: "Meng Xiao, don't be excited, don't be excited, the Eighth Army cannot live without you."

"Xiang Hua, you sit down too." Chen Keyu ordered, and Zhang Fakui sat down unconvincedly.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and Chiang Kai-shek thought nervously, this problem was difficult to deal with. Zhang Fakui also included him in his accusation. After a while, Chiang Kai-shek said: "The Hanyang Arsenal cannot be managed by that army. We are a soldier who manages the factory. If it is not managed well, it will be handed over to the Military Control Commission. The ammunition produced is distributed uniformly by the Military Control Commission." After that, he felt that it was necessary to appease Tang Shengzhi and not force him too much, otherwise it would be unfavorable to the future. So he changed his smile and said: "General Meng Xiao, there is too much monks and less porridge, and this is impossible. However, I will urge the Military Commission to approve the expansion of the Eighth Army as soon as possible. You can draw up an expansion plan and report it."

After giving a candy with a stick, Tang Shengzhi accepted it in a depressed manner. He made up his mind to support a factory manager and rob it secretly if he couldn't take it openly.

When the generals here heard that Chiang Kai-shek had let go of the issue of expansion, they couldn't help but exchanged glances. They were all thinking about whether their troops could be expanded and several armies and divisions could be expanded. The atmosphere in the conference room began to become a little relaxed.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek did not fail to notice, but he pretended not to see it. His idea was to use expansion to win over and restrain the armies so that they would not be completely pulled away by others.

The meeting was almost over, but Chen Mingshu was turbulent again: "The commander-in-chief appointed me as the commander of Wuhan garrison is trusted in me, but I still have to ask, how to treat the workers' and peasants' movement?"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly: "Zhenru, what do you mean?"

"The government has given instructions on the workers and peasants' movement. When the Northern Expedition began, the commander-in-chief issued an order in Guangzhou saying that strikes were not allowed during the war, but in just a few days, there were several strikes in Wuhan. Moreover, I heard that the situation in rural Hunan was particularly chaotic, and some farmers' associations randomly searched their homes and arrested people. If this was the case around Wuhan, what should I do?" Chen Mingshu asked.

After saying a few ummy words, Chiang Kai-shek said disapprovingly: "It is not reliable to hearsay. As for the strike, it is better to follow Guangzhou. Li Renchao (i.e. Li Jishen) handled it well in Guangzhou. Now the important thing is military. Everything must be concessions to ensure military victory. It is not good for workers and peasants to get up, and it is not good for them to get up and control them. This..., you must grasp it well. Only by being moderate."

Chen Mingshu still couldn't figure it out. But now he had to do this. Is it appropriate? Chen Mingshu decided to take a look first.

In general, Chiang Kai-shek was still very satisfied with his trip to Wuhan. Tang Shengzhi was suppressed by him, and Wuhan was not handed over to the Eighth Army. The Fourth Army had initially differentiated, and the attitudes of Zhang Fakui and Chen Mingshu had subtle differences. More importantly, it eliminated the possibility of the Fourth Army joining forces with Tang Shengzhi.

However, on his way back to Nanchang, he received a telegram from the Joint Conference and Borotin informing the Joint Conference that the decision would not move the capital for the time being. It was obvious that Deng Yanda's trip to Guangzhou had not reached his goal.

Borotin's intentions for Chiang Kai-shek were as insightful as it was. Wuhan was more suitable as a revolutionary center than Guangzhou. There is no doubt about this, but Borotin believed that moving at this time would encourage Chiang Kai-shek's arrogance and be detrimental to suppress Chiang.

The Zhongshan Ship incident and the subsequent sorting of party affairs case dealt a heavy blow. Almost all the resolutions passed by the Second Plenary Session of the Central Committee were not conducive to the **. Neither Boroting nor the ** were satisfied with this situation. After the Second Plenary Session of the Central Committee, Chiang Kai-shek's dominance gradually formed within the Kuomintang, which also made some people in the Kuomintang feel dissatisfied. Among these people, Sun Ke, Gu Mengyu, and Xu Qian. Boroting was very clear about these situations, so he cleverly arranged the two factions and gradually moved closer, which led to the convening of the joint meeting. Boroting's ultimate goal was to restore the political situation before the Zhongshan Ship, with Wang Jingwei in charge, Chiang Kai-shek in charge of the army, and ** and the left-wingers of the Kuomintang jointly controlled the central government.

After Deng Yanda read Chiang Kai-shek's letter at the joint meeting, although Zhang Jingjiang tried his best to persuade him, Tan Yankai, who was carefully selected by Chiang Kai-shek, remained silent. Although Tan Yankai was smooth, he was also quite infected under this high situation. He planned to do this according to his own ideas.

He believed that the issue of moving the capital should not be discussed before the military operation was over. Guangdong, as the source of the revolution, is not very consolidated at present. The resilient provinces can be temporarily managed by the party departments of each province, so that there will be no major chaos.

As soon as Tan Yankai remained silent, Zhang Jingjiang was unable to hold his hands alone. The Congress rejected Chiang Kai-shek's proposal to move the capital without debate. Later, Xu Qian's "Resolution on Convening the National Assembly" and Tan Yankai's "Resolution on Development of the National Government" were unanimously passed. In the latter resolution, it was clearly stated: "The location of the National Government should be determined based on the location of its main work. Now the main work of the National Government is to consolidate the foundation of the revolutionary forces of each province. This main work is most suitable for the first time to be implemented by Guangdong Province, so the National Government is still temporarily located in Guangzhou."

When Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram, he was on his way back to Jiangxi. He was a little confused and angry. He shook his head and sighed and said to Jiang Xianyun: "The Northern Expedition has reached a point where there is progress and no retreat. Wu Peifu survived and Sun Chuanfang was defeated in a row. If he doesn't keep pace with the times, when will he wait!"

"Maybe the representatives have other opinions." Jiang Xianyun said tactfully that Jiang Xianyun agreed with Chiang Kai-shek's view on this issue. The development of the Northern Expedition to this level is not a matter of consolidating the source of the country, but how to take advantage of the victory to cover the whole country. The Guangzhou representatives have a little short-sighted vision. But Jiang Xianyun is worried about his identity and cannot speak so thoroughly.

"Have another opinion? Humph, I think they have another opinion." Chiang Kai-shek hummed contemptuously, but he still didn't plan to give up just like that.

"Wushan, record." Chiang Kai-shek was always very polite to Jiang Xianyun. If someone had to change him in front of him, there would be only the last two words left.

"It has been several months since the Northern Expedition. The two lakes were restored, and Wu fled northward; the Sun family was frightened by the great victory in Nanchang. The people were all dying when they passed by. I hope that the revolution would become more and more intense. The central government moved north to meet the expectations of the people. Second, the northward migration was particularly important for consolidating the Xinfu area. Third, the central government did not station in Wuhan, and the situation in Wuhan required the central government to send personnel to direct leadership. Based on these three points, the central government believed that the central government should move to Wuhan as soon as possible, otherwise Wuhan might not belong to the central government."

"This telegram was sent to Bo Luoting, Tan Yankai, and Zhang Jingjiang." Chiang Kai-shek added after he finished speaking.

After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, Borotin thought about it repeatedly and felt that Chiang Kai-shek's words made some sense. At least Chiang Kai-shek did not hide anything. He was not in Wuhan, he was in Jiangxi, and after the central government moved to Wuhan, he was still not under his control.

Then he remembered Tinida's letter, and Tinida analyzed the situation in Wuhan in the letter, believing that the National Revolutionary Army came to Wuhan but did not have a central political organization. The Kuomintang Provincial Executive Committee lacked the power and ability to handle political affairs appropriately. Therefore, the central government should move to Wuhan as soon as possible, otherwise Tang Shengzhi would dominate everything in Wuhan, and Tang Shengzhi was by no means a revolutionary, worse than Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek still had some beliefs, but he had no at all. Whoever gave the price was sold to whom. Only after the central government moved to Wuhan could suppress Tang Shengzhi, and then use Tang to restrain Chiang, and promote Wang and Jiang to re-cooperate.

Borotin decided to change the course and agreed to move the capital in Wuhan. However, the joint meeting had just rejected the movement of the capital, so the change was undoubtedly a slap in his mouth. So he decided to use tricks to ignore Chiang Kai-shek's telegram for the time being. After the joint meeting ended, a political meeting would be held, and then the decision would be made to move the capital.

The conference was running on the track designed by Borotin. The last day should pass a proposal to welcome Wang Jingwei's reinstatement, which is also what Chiang Kai-shek said. "Comrade Wang Jingwei is an outstanding member of our party and the leader of our party. In the early stage, he was sick, and now he is cured. I suggest that this conference send a telegram to agree to Mr. Wang to cancel the leave and welcome him back to reinstate his post."

As soon as Gu Mengyu finished speaking, Zhang Jingjiang immediately expressed his objection: "We don't know Mr. Wang's physical condition, but after Mr. Wang left, the government and the Party Central Committee changed, and it is inappropriate to reinstate his post."

Xu Qian stood up and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with the Northern Expedition. The commander-in-chief is responsible for the war. He does not have so much energy to lead politics. This aspect can be left to Mr. Wang."
