Chapter 5 Governing the Southwest Section 2 Talking About Wang (3)
"Fourth brother, he doesn't want to do it... Then forget it, hum, the villain swaying from side to side, we have misjudged the person." Chen Bijun poured himself a glass of water hatefully, and suddenly shouted outside: "Ma Zhang, put the teacup away." Ma Zhang walked in lightly and quickly put away Zhuang Jihua's cup.
"I've thrown it away, I've thrown it away, I don't want this cup." Zhang Ma agreed and turned around and left the living room. Chen Bijun was still uneasy and still chattered.
"Fourth brother, I think Zhuang Jihua can't stop and can't count on him. I still have a conversation with Yu Han. Zhang Fakui and the others, and there is also Guangxi, and Liu Wenhui can also consider that he owns Xikang territory." Speaking of this, she remembered the influence of Zhuang Jihua on the Sichuan generals, and felt annoyed: "This Zhuang Jihua really doesn't get into the country. If you hadn't promoted him, he would have been promoted to the colonel so quickly and could be sent to Guangxi. This ungrateful thing."
Wang Jingwei smiled bitterly when he heard this. Apart from these two things, he could no longer find any intersection with Zhuang Jihua. But now, Zhuang Jihua has blocked the local forces in the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
Since he arrived in Chongqing, he has had many contacts with Sichuan generals in private. Before Liu Xiang died, he had visited Chengdu many times, but the reaction he received disappointed him. In the past, if Sichuan generals had two cores - Liu Xiang and Zhuang Jihua, once Liu Xiang left, Zhuang Jihua was left. They were obviously close to Zhuang Jihua. This time, the Sichuan generals recommended Zhuang Jihua to rule Sichuan. Unfortunately, Zhuang Jihua did not listen to him, and even if he had conflicts with Chiang Kai-shek, he would not be willing to support him.
"Sir, the wife's words are right. Zhuang Jihua can't count on you anymore," Zeng Zhongming also immediately expressed his support: "When we still have a solution, Yu Hanmou is in Guangdong and Zhang Fakui is in Anhui, they both hold heavy troops, Yu Hanmou has the territory of Guangdong, and there are also people. Long Yun, although Long Yun has left Yunnan, his power is still there. His two sons did not go out with the 58th Army, but stayed in Yunnan. He still has a strong influence on Yunnan."
Zeng Zhongming did not mention Liu Wenhui. In his opinion, Liu Wenhui had been tied to a chariot by Zhuang Jihua. This time, he strongly recommended Zhuang Jihua as the chairman of Sichuan Province. Liu Wenhui ranked only after Tian Songyao, and Liu Wenhui is a shareholder of Sichuan Development Company. He could not violate Zhuang Jihua's opinion.
"Sir, I am willing to go to Guangdong and convince Yu Hanmou." Tao Xisheng stood up and volunteered.
Wang Jingwei was silent, and his heart was filled with loss. This loss not only came from Zhuang Jihua, but also from Chen Gongbo. Unlike Zhuang Jihua, Chen Gongbo has always been his right-hand man and has followed him since the Guangzhou period. Although the two had disputes during this period, there were no fundamental differences. But today Chen Gongbo has always adhered to his point of view and opposed negotiations with the Japanese alone, which shocked him a lot.
"Fourth brother, don't hesitate anymore," Chen Bijun shouted anxiously: "This opportunity is once a lifetime. Whether Chiang Kai-shek can be removed from office is here. What are you hesitating about such a good opportunity?"
Wang Jingwei turned around and looked up and said, "The peace movement is a very difficult road, and the risks are very high. We must be extremely careful. There are some reasons for the concerns of the public blog. Tell Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping that the negotiations with the Japanese must clearly explain the withdrawal issue, which is related to the legitimacy of our actions. As for the country, Yu Hanmou, Guangdong and Zhang Fakui from Anhui, please come and have a closer talk with them. Xisheng, you go back to Wuhan to contact Long Yun, and as for Liu Wenhui, I will send someone else to contact us."
"Okay, just do it like this," Chen Bijun clapped and said, "Just let them, is it whether we sell our country or they ruin our country? I will go to Guangdong tomorrow."
"Since that's the case, I will fly back to Wuhan tomorrow," Tao Xisheng also stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Wang Jingwei called him and said seriously: "You must explain clearly to Zhou Fohai when you go back, the withdrawal time. Manchukuo, compensation, these three issues must be clearly discussed. You must form text. The Japanese representative must sign and agree, otherwise you would rather terminate the negotiations."
"I understand, please don't worry, sir, we are not traitors, but seeking peace. We cannot give in to these three points." Tao Xisheng nodded and replied very seriously. He knew the weight of these three points, and traitors and peace are on the three points.
After they all left, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun were speechless. Wang Jingwei returned to the study room upstairs. Chen Bijun asked Zhang Ma to cook some lotus seed soup, then poured a cup of tea and brought it to the study room.
Before she could speak, Wang Jingwei spoke first: "You shouldn't be like that of Gongbo, his concerns are reasonable."
Chen Bijun put the teacup in front of Wang Jingwei: "I'm just angry. Chen Gongbo is not as excited as before. He used to do it just by saying that he can do it. Now, he is completely different from the two. I don't know what happened to him in the past two years."
"Oh, China has changed a lot today that has not been in a thousand years. With people who think too much like public opinion, they will naturally think more and be careful. In fact, this is not a bad thing." Wang Jingwei said calmly. In this study, he felt very calm. In the past, he was the same. Whenever his thoughts were irritated, he would come to the study room to take a moment and quickly return to peace. It was the same today.
"How can you keep abreast of the big things? Mother-in-law and mother." Chen Bijun's eyebrows were full of disdain: "Is Gongbo old?"
"Will I be older?" Wang Jingwei smiled faintly: "In fact, what Gongbo and Zhuang Wenge proposed make sense. The Japanese are indeed fickle. What if the Japanese change their minds after we react? How should we deal with it?"
"Fourth brother, you are here again. The Japanese are as unbearable as they say," said Chen Bijun: "Interactions between countries are about credibility. If they change their minds, we will change too. At worst, we will drag them away from politics from now on, and we will go back to our hometown in Nanyang together."
Speaking of this, she looked at Wang Jingwei's face and saw his calm expression, she continued: "Actually, Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to have a peace talk, but the Japanese were unwilling to talk to him. Since this is the case, we can only take this responsibility. Don't look at Chiang Kai-shek's slogans, gcd, Feng Yuxiang and others have a higher tone. Why? Isn't it just to borrow the anti-Japanese brand to try to make a comeback? Without this brand, Feng Yuxiang would have to disappear from politics in a few years and study in Taishan, and gcd would have to be driven to the Soviet Union in a few years. Humph, it's ridiculous, good people do bad people, we do it, but who is really worried about the country? I dare say it's us, the road is far away and the horsepower will be seen over time, the fourth brother. Don't hesitate, just go on and go."
"Oh," Wang Jingwei sighed. Seeing that he was moved, Chen Bijun continued to say, "Second Brother, why have we always been at a disadvantage in the past decades of fighting with Chiang Kai-shek? But what about Chiang Kai-shek? From the Zhongshan ship to the Central Plains War, what did he do? The Zhongshan ship decisively dispatched troops to surround the consultant office. In the 18th year of the Republic of China, he decisively placed Li Renchao under house arrest and cut off Li Zongren Bai Chongxi's arm; in the 20th year of the Republic of China, he took the blame for the world and put Hu Zhantang under house arrest. In the 19th year of the Republic of China, he took the blame for the world and put Hu Zhantang under house arrest. In the 19th year of the Republic of China, he took the lead in house arrest and defeated the Gui clique; in house arrest, Hu Zhantang under house arrest, and won the victory of the dispute over the law. And we, if we think about everything, we are afraid of everything, and everything is lost. Fourth Brother, we can't do this anymore. If we continue like this, we will never overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's rule."
After thinking about it, Wang Jingwei felt more and more that Chen Bijun was right. In recent years, Chiang Kai-shek's power has become stronger and stronger, and his behavior has become more unscrupulous. It seems that it is time to change his course.
"You are right. We cannot look back on this way. The peace talks must continue. As long as the Japanese agree to withdraw their troops, they do not require us to recognize Manchukuo and not compensate for military expenses, they can sign a treaty." Wang Jingwei looked up at Chen Bijun, and saw that she was about to question again, solemnly explained: "Bijun, these three things cannot be changed at all. This is our basic condition and the key to our future understanding."
Chen Bijun hesitated and finally nodded. Wang Jingwei said again: "You go to Guangdong and Anhui this time, don't use Yu Hanmou to do something with Yu Hanmou, Zhang Fakui and others said that we have sent people to contact the Japanese, and only ask them if they can support the peace movement under these three conditions, especially Yu Hanmou's attitude. Guangdong he occupied is very important to us, and we cannot go to the occupied areas to form a government."
"Don't worry, fourth brother, I won't give them the trump card at once," she said this and asked, "Do you want this to Zhang Fakui?"
Chen Bijun asked this because Zhang Fakui was also a loyal follower of Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo was Wang Jingwei's left hand, and Zhang Fakui was his right hand. After the Communist Party was divided, Zhang Fakui always followed Wang Jingwei to fight against Chiang Kai-shek several times, and the four armies were finally wiped out.
"You must be honest, Xianghua is a warrior after all, and the warriors are born with peace. Besides, all the troops in his hands were given to him by Chiang Kai-shek. It is hard to say whether the troops under his hands listen to him. You forgot that he was very hesitant at the time when the communist party was divided. Isn't it just because there are many GCD personnel in his troops?"
Chen Bijun was relieved now, and Wang Jingwei was not shaken. She smiled and said, "It's still the fourth brother who is considerate." Suddenly, she heard a slight movement outside the door, and she immediately asked sternly: "Who is outside?"
As he said that, he went to open the door, but Zhang Ma's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, sir, the lotus seed soup is ready."
Chen Bijun opened the door, and Zhang Ma held the plate. The two bowls of lotus seed soup inside the plate were steaming. Zhang Ma stood there with her eyebrows down and her eyes were glad to see. A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Bijun's eyes: "I will knock on the door in the future."
"Yes, madam." Zhang's mother was about to come in as she said, and Chen Bijun took the plate: "You go and leave it to me."
"Yes, madam." Zhang Ma handed her the plate and turned to go downstairs.
"What?" Wang Jingwei asked.
"Nothing," Chen Bijun put the plate on the table, brought a bowl to Wang Jingwei, and then said, "Hurry, while it's hot, it will be cold later."
After saying that, she picked up a bowl herself, stirred the dense lotus seeds with a spoon, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "This mother Zhang is still not as good as the original Mrs. Liu, but unfortunately she doesn't want to come to Chongqing."
"She won't have any problems, right?" Wang Jingwei asked suspiciously.
"It shouldn't be there, I asked someone to check it." Chen Bijun was very confident. She asked the Chongqing Police Station and the Zhongtong Zhongren, but she didn't expect that in the evening of that day, Zhang's mother went out to buy the Zhang Yuzhou Evening News and the Central Daily News for them. This was the habit of Wang Jingwei and his wife. On nights without guests, both of them read newspapers in the living room.
Soon a report about Zhuang Jihua going to Wang Mansion today appeared in the office of the Military Intelligence Bureau Chongqing Station Station, and then sent it to Dai Li's desk in Wuhan. Dai Li immediately went to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence after reading it.
"Let him go," Chiang Kai-shek just said lightly after hearing Dai Li's report: "Wang Jingwei is the vice president of our party. As long as it is not out of line, we still have to unite in the war of resistance."
Dai Li didn't say anything, but just stood there silently; after a while, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "After returning from the Cultural Revolution, he only visited Vice President Wang, and Deng Zesheng seemed to be in Chongqing."
Dai Li heard that Chiang Kai-shek didn't care about the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Wang Jingwei, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to care about what Wang Jingwei was doing. He seemed to be more concerned about Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda's relationship.
"When Senior Zhuang arrived in Chongqing, Director Deng and Minister Chen went to Qijiang and presided over the completion ceremony of the fourth phase of the Qijiang Steel Plant with Deputy Director Jiang. It is said that when he returned to Chongqing today, he should have arrived at the development team. Senior Zhuang probably has met Director Deng."
