January 1, 1937.
Jinling was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, the streets were full of people celebrating the Gregorian New Year, and even red lanterns were hung outside the courtyard of the Secret Service.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Zuo Zhong and Teacher Bianyi sat in the director's office, drinking tea and discussing work.
"Shen Zhong, is there anything unusual happening at Zhang's place? This matter must not go wrong. As you know, the leader attaches great importance to the young marshal."
Lao Dai put the tea cup on the coffee table, turned his head and said something, his eyes glanced at the disciple who was only half sitting down and smiled slightly.
It is comfortable to deal with smart people. Of course, Zuo Zhong is not the only one of his confidants in the Secret Service, but he is the most sensible one.
If other people had been appreciated by the leader, their tails would have been raised to the sky. How could they respect themselves as always?
The method is not important;
What matters is attitude.
Besides, after Zuo Zhong heard Lao Dai's instructions, he immediately leaned forward and respectfully reported the situation and his arrangements.
"Teacher, we have not restricted the young marshal's movements these days. Except that he cannot leave Jinling, everything is done according to his wishes.
Apart from playing cards and ball, eating and sleeping at Minister Song's mansion every day, he spent the rest of his time wandering around in a car.
There were two security vehicles accompanying us during the trip, one from the police department and one from us. A total of 8 guards carrying short guns were responsible for protection.
According to students' observations, the young marshal did not show any fear. He ate when he needed to, slept when he needed to, and played when he needed to. He was very calm. "
Having said this, Zuo Zhong hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, I heard that there was a fierce quarrel among the senior officials on how to handle this matter.
Some people think that the government should keep its promise and let Zhang go back. Others think that the tiger should not be let go and the young commander should be punished.
I don’t know what the chairman’s opinion is. In addition, if our secret service needs to do some auxiliary work, please tell me clearly, teacher. "
"No need."
Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and gave the answer with a sinister look on his face: "Zhang will definitely not be able to leave. If he is not dealt with, where will the dignity of the government be.
Even though his wife and people from all walks of life have repeatedly interceded for him, the leader has made up his mind and must use Zhang to warn those who have ulterior motives.
The specific solution is to set up a temporary military court, with Li Liexun as the presiding judge, and conduct a closed trial of the young marshal.
And just today, the Chairman of the Generalissimo appointed Li Liexun as the second-level Army General. You should know what this arrangement means.
Okay, it's enough for our people to do a good job of surveillance, and others will do the other work. Now there are many people who want to kill Zhang. "
He sneered as he spoke. Others didn't know that Minister He might be dreaming that the young marshal would die immediately.
It is currently a mystery who are the organizers of the Chang'an military remonstrance, but He's reaction is so quick, it is indeed very suspicious.
Once the young marshal reveals his accomplice, no matter how senior he is or how much credit he has, no one can escape the responsibility he should bear.
"Okay, teacher."
Zuo Zhong pretended to suddenly realize it, but in his heart he despised the bald head for not keeping his word, and even sneered at the bald head's despicable methods.
Li Liexun is a veteran figure within the Kuomintang. He participated in the Revolution of 1911, the Second Revolution, the War to Protect the Law, and the Northern Expedition.
He did have considerable prestige among the government and the military. He was also a firm militant against Japan, advocating joint resistance against Japan and unified resistance to aggression.
Therefore, the bald man asked Li Liexun to try the young marshal. At first glance, it seemed very fair and even beneficial to the young marshal. However, this was not the case.
The bald man's intentions were not without sinister intentions. Yes, Li Liexun was anti-Japanese, but he also opposed the military remonstrance campaign launched by the Northeast Army.
After the Chang'an Incident broke out, this person sent a message to publicly reprimand the young marshal. The words he used were extremely violent and could be said to be very unpleasant.
Why should I be a son if my father's unavenged hatred leads to civil strife?
Repaying kindness with grievance and threatening the coach, why should I be a general?
As a result, all countries were in an uproar and looked sideways, wondering why they were human beings.
In short, Li Liexun's thoughts are very stubborn. As an old man who has lived through the feudal era, his pedantic thoughts of loyalty to the emperor still remain in his heart.
He believed that everything should be obeyed by the commander-in-chief. Even if he knew that the commander-in-chief was wrong, he could only give advice but could not use force to coerce him.
Even if the bald man made countless mistakes, if the young commander launched a military remonstrance, it would be treason, and he should be severely punished by national laws and military regulations.
What’s even more interesting is that in accordance with the requirements of the military trial jointly issued by the national government and the Military Commission, the military rank of the presiding judge must not be lower than the military rank of the defendant.
In other words, Li Liejun, the second-level general, was picked up for nothing, otherwise he might not be able to get a gold star in a few years.
For the so-called face of the bald man, the Quanxu system that was finally implemented was destroyed. Is it worth it? Maybe it is.
Zuo Zhong went through a lot of information in his mind and suddenly figured out one thing, which was why the young marshal insisted on coming to Aurous Hill.
Some people think this is childish,
Others think this is stupid.
These views are wrong. To be able to clear out the older generation of forces in the Northeast Army and become the new commander-in-chief, the young commander-in-chief certainly has a lot of abilities.
He came to Jinling this time for only one thing - to safeguard the dignity of the government and the bald head, and to prevent the country from falling back into a state of division and separatism.
Since the demise of the previous dynasty, domestic warlords have been fighting for a long time. After the establishment of the national government, the overall situation has been stabilized, and many warlords still remain semi-independent.
Assuming that he, the culprit who imprisoned Baldhead, was not dealt with, what would those audacious warlords think?
Is it possible that if there is a conflict between the local government and the central government in the future, mutiny can be used to threaten the central government and the bald head?
Anyway, you don’t have to take any responsibility.
Isn't it?
The young marshal must have already known that if he followed the bald man to Aurous Hill, he might have to spend the rest of his life in an endless prison.
But for the sake of the country and the nation, he still chose to take this path. Zuo Zhong sighed secretly and asked Dai Chunfeng again.
"Teacher, what about the others?"
Dai Chunfeng understood who Zuo Zhong was referring to, and he leaned back on his chair and said with a half-smile: "Shen Zhong is talking about He Jingzhi, haha.
He organized a rebel army and attacked the rebels with great momentum, causing the leader to almost die in Chang'an. His behavior was extremely bad.
Let me test you. How do you think the chairman of the committee will deal with this person? I can safely say that this is a discussion between you and me, master and disciple.
Let me remind you, Minister He went to Qilu every day in the past few days to ask for an audience with the leader, but was rejected. There were rumors that his position as minister was in danger. "
Test yourself,
How to dispose of it?
Zuo Zhong was a little confused, and then an idea flashed in his mind. Instead of answering Dai Chunfeng's question directly, he told an allusion.
"Teacher, in the past Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had a fellow villager named Yong Chi. When Liu Bang was in decline, Yong Chi looked down on Liu Bang very much and humiliated him at every turn.
Because Yong Chi was a powerful man in Peixian County and very powerful, although Gaozu hated him with itch, he had no choice but to let him go.
In 209 BC, Liu Bang launched an army against the Qin Dynasty and led 3,000 of his disciples to capture Peixian County. He called himself Pei Gong. He held a large number of troops and was later granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an.
Just when the outside world thought that the powerful Liu Bang would teach Yong Chi a lesson, Liu Bang not only failed to avenge his personal revenge, but instead took him under his command.
He was also sent to garrison the Fengyi camp. However, Yong Chi had no idea of gratitude and immediately rebelled as soon as the Wei people came to recruit him.
This man offered Fengyi with both hands, and in turn guarded Fengyi for Wei. In a few years, Liu Bang became bigger and bigger, and Yongchi surrendered again.
Such a capricious villain actually achieved many military exploits by virtue of his achievements, so that Gaozu, who was in urgent need of employing people, could only hold his nose and appoint him. "
"Hahaha, Shen Zhi,"
Dai Chunfeng laughed heartily after hearing this and patted the coffee table with his right hand: "You have already mastered the samadhi of officialdom. You are really a formidable person.
Let me tell you next, after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang conferred more than 20 titles on Chang'an, and the rest of the people talked about it.
One day, Liu Bang saw many soldiers whispering, so he asked Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, what they were talking about. Zhang Liang said that they were obviously plotting rebellion.
Emperor Gaozu was extremely surprised and quickly asked why the soldiers wanted to rebel now that the world was settled. Is it because they were dissatisfied with themselves?
Zhang Liang shook his head and said that you were originally a commoner, and it was these people who helped you win the world, but you first granted the title to those you like.
Now the government is still counting merits. Not only are they afraid that you will not reward me, but they are also worried that you will investigate your previous mistakes, so they gather together to rebel.
Emperor Gaozu was shocked again and quickly asked Marquis Liu how to deal with the matter. Marquis Liu only said that you can reward Yong's teeth.
Later, Liu Bang hosted a banquet for the ministers and granted Yongchi the title of Marquis of Shifang on the spot. He also urged the prime minister to quickly determine the merits so that the titles could be divided as soon as possible.
When everyone saw this, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and they sighed repeatedly that even Yong Chi could be made a marquis, so what do they have to worry about.
At this point, the situation of the Western Han Dynasty was stable and a strong foundation was laid. This power strategy of "treating enemies kindly and strengthening the hearts of the people" was often imitated by later generations.
Therefore, the chairman of the committee will not do anything to the person named He, and will even give him a high position to calm the hearts of the people in the country. "
"A wise leader."
Zuo Chong pretended to admire him, but in fact he disapproved of it. Relying on tactics and tricks could only achieve temporary benefits, but not long-term.
The prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty was not due to Liu Bang's small tricks, but because of frivolous corvee and low taxes, and due to recuperation and inaction.
As for the current National Government, it wants to kill the national capitalists and farmers, even if the great ancestor is still alive, it will be in vain.
It's 1937, and it won't be long before the Japanese launch a full-scale invasion of China. The whole party is still fighting for power and profit.
When North China is lost, East China is lost, Central Plains is lost, and South China is lost, these insects may not realize the seriousness of the matter.
By then it will be too late. Peking, Songhu, and Jinling will lose battles one after another, and countless people will die in the flames of war.
Damn,
What a bunch of pig teammates.
Zuo Zhong felt that it was time to deploy backup forces in the city that was about to fall. At least the personnel and equipment should be well hidden, which would work wonders in wartime.
After pondering secretly for a while, he stood up and said goodbye to Lao Dai, preparing to summon all his old subordinates to discuss the corresponding arrangements.
Next, let’s get into the plot of the Anti-Japanese War. Today I flew to the northwest. I have been writing about it since I arrived at the hotel, and went to eat.
