Section 2 Set sail (4)

After seeing off Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, Zhuang Jihua and Zeng Kuoqing went to the 24th Army to visit Liu Wenhui. On the way, Zhuang Jihua recalled Zeng Kuoqing's information about Liu Wenhui. Liu Wenhui was known as a Taoist of Duobao. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy and made a late fortune among the three giants of Baoding in Sichuan. He has been hiding in the Xu Prefecture on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan. After defeating the Battle of Yasukawa initiated by Yang Sen in 1922, he became an important force in Sichuan Province. In 1928, with the support of Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, he replaced Liu Xiang as the chairman of Sichuan Province. Then he secretly cooperated with Liu Xiang and seized a large number of territory in the Battle of Shangxia and East Sichuan and the Battle of North Road, and occupied 81 counties in Sichuan. Zeng Kuoqing had great ambitions for his comments, and was actually insidious and cunning.

Liu Wenhui seemed to be no surprise at their arrival. When Zhuang Jihua asked him to cooperate in investigating Sichuan resources and ensure the safety of the resource exploration team, Liu Wenhui waved his hand and assured him.

"This is absolutely no problem. Developing Sichuan resources is beneficial to us Sichuan people. It is our duty to ensure that their work is our unshirkable." Liu Wenhui patted his chest and said, "Cultural Revolution, don't worry, there will be no accidents in my defense zone. The one who dares to find trouble for the exploration team is to cause trouble for me. I will twist his head off as a ball."

Zhuang Jihua's entry into Sichuan attracted the attention of all forces in Sichuan, and Liu Wenhui was no exception. He had already discussed with his aides, and no matter what Zhuang Jihua came to do, as long as he found a subordinate, he could agree to anything. Liu Wenhui had been in the wrong team in the previous civil wars, and Chiang Kai-shek would definitely be dissatisfied with him. Zhuang Jihua was Chiang's confidant general. If he could establish a good relationship with him, he would ease his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek through him.

"Thank you, Chairman Liu, I am very grateful." Zhuang Jihua certainly expressed his gratitude to the other party.

With this guarantee, even if the first task Zhuang Jihua came is completed, the rest will be what Liu Wenhui wants.\\\\\\ Zhuang Jihua will not mention it on his own initiative.

Liu Wenhui did not disappoint Zhuang Jihua. As expected, he quickly mentioned the current situation, but his surprise Zhuang Jihua.

"In the Cultural Revolution, I heard that all the students in Nanjing in Peking were making trouble. The Japanese occupied the Northeast, so the central government ignored it?" Liu Wenhui asked.

Liu Wenhui is indeed more ambitious than Liu Xiang. No wonder he supports Hu Ruoyu in Yunnan and Wang Jialie in Guizhou. Zhuang Jihua thought in his heart: "It's not that he doesn't care, but the central government judges that the current time for a full-scale war with Japan is not yet ripe. Chairman Liu, please think. There is a Communist Party in the country that causes chaos, and local forces are not completely harmonious with the central government. How to fight this battle? Therefore, the central government hopes that European and American powers will intervene and asks the League of Nations to adjust."

Liu Wenhui felt a little contempt, but he praised: "Yes, the central government is very concerned about it, but the Communist Party of China is a tinea scabies. The real key lies in local forces. Take Sichuan as an example. Don't think that I am the chairman of the province. But my government orders can only be effective in my defense zone. I can't control other people's defense zones. A country should have a unified government order and military order, and a province should be the same."

This old boy is a little far away, but I don’t answer this, which makes you anxious. Zhuang Jihua smiled in his heart: “Chairman Liu’s view is superman. Only when military and political orders are unified can the country gather all its strength to defend against the enemy. If the military and political leaders in various places have the chairman’s understanding of this, the country will be safe and the people will have lived and worked in peace and contentment.”

"The super-sense of insight? I don't dare to take it. In fact, no one knows the truth, but no one can let it go. Let's talk about Sichuan. There are two powerful slaps (that is, more than ten companies) that can't count them. There are dozens of forces of all sizes. How can the people not suffer?" Liu Wenhui sighed heavily, and then said: "In the Cultural Revolution, you have been abroad and have seen the world. Tell me, how can you unify the Sichuan government orders and let the people live a good life?"

It's worthy of being a hero and sinister.=It turns out that this is waiting for me. Zhuang Jihua cursed in his heart, but his face looked solemn and embarrassed: "Well, this..., I can't say this, so I'll ask Chairman Liu for advice."

"Oh, what's wrong with this?" Liu Wenhui pretended not to understand, and treated the bad as bad, and kicked the ball back directly: "Although it's not a formal conversation, it doesn't mean anyone, it's just a discussion between us."

"In this way, then I will express a little humble opinion." Zhuang Jihua pretended to refuse and said: "The best way is to retain one's power, just like Yan Xishan, Shanxi and Long Yun, Yunnan. If you can't do this, you can cooperate with each other, such as Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, one person manages the army and the other person manages the people. If you can't do it, then set up a joint meeting, cut the army, eliminate the disaster of war, and try to make peace the most important."

"Where should Sichuan take the approach now?" Liu Wenhui forced another sentence.

"Chairman Liu, I really dare not say this." Zhuang Jihua begged for mercy. He knew in his heart that if the transformation he said here was slightly beneficial to Liu Wenhui, the other party would definitely make great publicity, which would affect the attitudes of Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou and others: "My identity is different. Once it is spread, it will be regarded as the central government's opinion. If the principal blames it, I can't afford to be guilty."

Liu Wenhui's intentions were pointed out by Zhuang Jihua, but he just laughed: "Be careful in the Cultural Revolution. This is my confidant here and I will not spread it. But you are not wrong, you have different identities, so be cautious."

As he said that, he stood up and walked to Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua also stood up: "We are quite destined to be together. Since we are here today, don't leave. I ordered a table of dishes in Rongxing Tower. We drink and chat, and then we go to see the show. You may have never seen this Sichuan show, but it has a unique taste."

When he came, he was prepared in this way. Zhuang Jihua didn't refuse, but just smiled and said, "In this way, I will follow the guests."

In addition to Liu Wenhui, there were several generals and staff accompanying him at the dinner table. Liu Wenhui introduced to Zhuang Jihua one by one that one of the dark-skinned middle-aged men caught his attention. He was rough and elegant, with a bookish atmosphere. Liu Wenhui introduced that his name was Ren Naiqiang and he was currently an inspector of Sichuan-Kang District.

"Chairman Liu, I remember that it seemed that the National Government agreed to establish a province in Xikang in 17th year of the Republic of China. Why hasn't the Xikang Provincial Government been established yet?" After three rounds of wine, Zhuang Jihua asked curiously.

The Xikang province was established in the Qing Dynasty, but before it was implemented, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, so it was left unresolved. The country then fell into war. The **** Lama sent troops to the southern part of Kang District in 1914. Later, under the mediation of the British, he transferred from Kang District to more than ten counties including Changdu, and the war was finally settled. In 1928, the Nanjing National Government officially passed a resolution to establish a province in Xikang, but Liu Wenhui, the actual occupier of Xikang, did not take action for a long time.

"Xikang Province's affairs are complicated, so I don't have time to do that." Liu Wenhui said indifferently.

Leng Yindong, who was sitting there, raised his wine glass and said, "What are you doing if you build a province without shit? The people in Nanjing are just messing around and drinking."

Perhaps this is the reason why Liu Wenhui was reluctant to take action for a long time, Zhuang Jihua raised his wine glass with a faint smile.

"Teacher Leng's words are wrong," said the black Ren Naiqiang: "It is unnecessary to establish a province in Xikang, but Xikang is definitely not a barren land. In my opinion, Xikang is a rich land with various resources. As long as it can be developed, even if Xikang cannot catch up with Suzhou and Hangzhou, it will never be worse than Chengdu and Chongqing."

Zhuang Jihua looked at Ren Naiqiang and judged in his heart whether Liu Wenhui arranged for him to say this on purpose. Liu Wenhui smiled at the right time: "In the Cultural Revolution, if you want to understand Xikang, you may belong to Mr. Ren. Although he is a scholar, he is very brave. He dares to walk to inspect more than 20 counties on the border of Kang-Diandong alone."

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua was surprised. You should know that it would be very difficult to explore the area even in peacetime. Moreover, in this war-torn era, I didn't expect that this person who was not good-looking could do such a feat: "Shi Jing, Shi Jing, Mr. Leng, have you ever inspected the mineral resources in the Xikang area?"

When Zhuang Jihua asked about this question, he was secretly yelling that Panzhihua was on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan as he knew. Xikang had disappeared in his era and merged into Sichuan. The border of Sichuan and Yunnan may be the border of Kang and Yunnan.

"Learn a little, after all, I'm not a geological expert," Ren Naiqiang said honestly: "However, there are many small mines near Xichang, which produce iron ore and silver ore. In addition, there are gold mines, iron ore and marble in Mianning and other places. However, their mining technology is very backward. In addition, the timber storage in Xikang is very rich and almost no development is developed."

Zhuang Jihua's brain was buzzing, and his eyes were so excited that he could not take any time. But before he could speak, Ren Naiqiang said: "But the transportation in Xikang area is very inconvenient, and it is very difficult to develop on a large scale. Moreover, the local ethnic groups have some prejudice against the Han people and ethnic conflicts are relatively sharp, so to develop these resources, there must be strong support from the garrison. "Mr. Ren, I want to invite you to join the Resources Committee. I can request Nanjing to appoint you as the highest person in charge of the Xikang area." Zhuang Jihua, regardless of Liu Wenhui's presence, immediately began to poach people: "If you are not satisfied, you can open the conditions."

The Party and the country are not without people, but the Party and the country are full of talents. Talents can be found anywhere.
