"Okay, okay, okay." Yan Xishan said three good words when he saw this cooperation plan that was obviously beneficial to Shanxi: "It seems that Mr. Zhongshan is really helping us in Shanxi. But, brother Fuwen, there are no outsiders here." , can you tell me exactly what their purpose is?" The "they" in Yan Xishan's mouth naturally refers to the Communist Party.

"Beijing." Luo Yaoguo said two words softly.

Yan Xishan nodded thoughtfully, and murmured, "Don't tell me Mr. Zhongshan has no idea about Beijing?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, although Mr. Zhongshan said so in front of him, but as a leader, his behavior is always unpredictable: "Yan Gong, if the Prime Minister intends to go north, he will have to invite Shanxi will help you a lot."

"Of course, that's of course." Yan Xishan naturally agreed with all his heart. As for whether he is reliable or not, only God knows.

In history, Mr. Zhongshan also intended to go north. Hu Jinyi, the governor of Henan Province, supported Mr. Zhongshan at that time. extend.Therefore, it is necessary to make some preparations in advance for the possible northward travel.If Zhang Feng was willing to live outside the customs, and Feng Yuxiang and the Communist Party in Beijing were willing to respect Mr. Sun Yat-sen, this result would be the most ideal.Uh, but Luo Yaoguo also felt that this ending was a dream.

Chapter 0064

The tall pagoda is reflected on the Yanhe River, and the majestic mountains are covered with a light red layer by the afterglow of the setting sun. A group of young men and women riding donkeys are quietly walking towards The ancient city.This city is Yan'an, the famous red capital of China in the future, and the place where thousands of leftist youths yearn for.

"Xiaoying, finally arrived in Yan'an, how do you feel?" Luo Yaoguo turned his head and asked Qu Ying who was following behind him.

Qu Ying suffered a lot of bumps along the way, and her spirit was a little sluggish. When she finally arrived at her destination, she smiled a little: "Brother Fuwen, this is Yan'an? Why don't I feel excited at all?" Luo Yaoguo I made a bet with her on the way, saying that as long as the communists arrive in Yan'an, they will be in high spirits and have the courage and determination to overcome all difficulties!

"No? Natalie, do you have any special feelings?" Luo Yaoguo looked back at his concubine, Natalie's condition is not good, uh, she was blown by the wind and sand in northern Shaanxi for a few days, is there anything she can do? Taking a shower, this Polish beauty looks a little dirty.

Natalie also had a tired look on her face, she managed to pull herself together to answer Luo Yaoguo, she said: "Honey, I just want to take a good bath right now, and then have a good sleep, sleeping alone!" Due to the long journey, Natalie was extremely tired. Since the night before yesterday, she had declared a "strike" and refused to serve Luo Yaoguo.

"I think it's very good here? The mountains are so high and the ditch is so deep. We can't even see this kind of scenery in the south." Ma Jiaoli is also very tired and misses the comfortable city life, but Compared with Natalie, she is obviously more "dedicated" and very good at pleasing men.

"Old man, are you alright?" Luo Yaoguo stopped talking about the three listless women, but cared about the situation of the bearded calligrapher.

Yu Youren is a native of Guanzhong, and northern Shaanxi is half of his hometown. After setting foot on the land of northern Shaanxi, his old man's spirit improved tremendously.The calligrapher stroked his beard and said cheerfully: "As for Fuwen, don't think that Guanzhong is a little barren now, but that's because the development is not in place. There is coal and oil underground in northern Shaanxi, and the people in northern Shaanxi It’s hard work, as long as there is a stable environment, you can recuperate, and then the government has good measures, I believe it will develop very quickly.”

"Oil?" Being reminded by Yu Youyi, Luo Yaoguo thought of another problem, as if there are no large oil fields in South China?And the Northeast is not under control. Uh, it seems that we have to learn from Germany to make synthetic gasoline, and I don’t know how much investment it will take!It's really not easy to fight for a day.

"Well, there is an oil mine in Yan'an, which was discovered in the Qing Dynasty." Yu Youren still knew the situation in Shaanxi quite well. In the Northwest Military Plan, Yang Huchen was the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and Yu Youren was the governor of Shaanxi.

"Third brother, is that General Hu Chen coming out of the city to welcome us?" Wu Ziliang's donkey was the first to walk, so he was the first to notice a large group of people holding banners, slogans, gongs and drums at the gate of the city. The leader was a big man from northern Shaanxi wearing a gray military uniform. From a distance, he stood like an iron tower at the gate of Yan'an. He was probably General Yang Huchen.

Yang Huchen, in history, will be renamed Hucheng during the defense of Xi'an.He was a figure who changed the direction of Chinese history at a critical moment, and he was also the person Lao Jiang hated the most in his life.In this time and space, he seems to be a key person at a critical moment, otherwise Luo Yaoguo would not have come to meet him specially, he is a key link in the Northwest military plan.The planned Northwest New Army would be formed on his territory, while his Shaanxi Army would also be expanded, and then go south to capture Guanzhong.

General Huchen has a very strong character, which can't be seen from his appearance. The somewhat fair-looking General Yang was the last general in the Shanxi Jingguo Army to lower the banner of Dharma protection.Not long ago, Yu Youren took Mr. Zhongshan's letter and ordered him to feign surrender to the Beiyang government in order to preserve his strength and territory. Then he became the guardian envoy of northern Shaanxi under the operation of Yu Youren.

Seeing Yu Youren and the others, General Hu Chen hurried forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed Yu Youren, and carefully helped him off the donkey: "You are welcome to come back and lead us!"

"Hehe, Hu Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are so energetic." Yu Youren loved Yang Huchen, a tiger general, from the bottom of his heart. When he served in the Jingguo Allied Forces in Shaanxi, Yang was his most capable general. In the next few years, the two of them will probably continue to work together: "Hu Chen, let me introduce you, this is Luo Yaoguo, the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Department, General Luo Fuwen."

"Oh, General Fuwen, I have admired your name for a long time." Yang Huchen casually cupped his hands at Luo Yaoguo, obviously not taking this deputy chief of staff seriously at all.

Luo Yaoguo nodded at Yang Huchen in embarrassment, and cupped his hands and said, "I have heard about General Yang's name for a long time, and this time I came to northern Shaanxi to discuss important matters with the general on behalf of Mr. Zhongshan."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since it was sent by Mr. Zhongshan, feel free to make any requests. But before that, please come to my place first, and have a little light meal." Hearing that Luo Yaoguo represented Mr. Zhongshan, Yang Huchen's tone was a little softer, and he didn't look at it. The face of the monk should also look at the face of the Buddha.In fact, in the various armies in China at that time, the chief of staff had very little authority, and the deputy chief of staff was even more of an insignificant role. A powerful staff department like the Generalissimo's General Staff Department of Mr. Sun Yat-sen had completely exceeded Yang Huchen's comprehension.

Yang Huchen's so-called "light meal" was even richer than Yan Laoxi's banquet. After the meal, General Huchen reported the situation of the troops to Yu Youren in his headquarters, and Luo Yaoguo had the honor to listen to it. Ear, when Yang Huchen's troops retreated into northern Shaanxi, there was only one regiment left. These days, under the care of Jing Yuexiu, the strength has recovered to about one brigade, with about 3000 men and guns. In addition, Jing Yuexiu has 8000 troops people.This is the full strength of the Kuomintang in the Northwest, which has been almost ignored by the Guangdong side.

"General Huchen, is it easy to recruit troops in northern Shaanxi?" What Luo Yaoguo was most worried about was the difficulty of recruiting troops in northern Shaanxi, and he couldn't gather [-] troops, so it would be hard to explain.

"Hehe, General Fuwen was joking. It's not easy to recruit soldiers. Does it depend on whether you have foreign money? The land in the northwest is barren and the people are tough. The source of soldiers is the best, and the military salary is not high. There are three foreign dollars a month." Soldiers can be recruited." Yang Huchen thought to himself that this guy from Guangxi doesn't seem to know anything about Northwest China, so he regards this place as Guangdong with beautiful mountains and rivers, right?

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and asked again: "General Huchen, we don't seem to have seen many people along the way? Let me tell you the truth, this time our party and the Communist Party will cooperate to set up a new army of about 3 people in northern Shaanxi. Can so many soldiers be recruited?"

Hearing that he was going to recruit an army, Yang Huchen's spirit was also slightly shocked. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhongshan's career to have such a big improvement. It seems that there is hope for the revolution? General Fuwen, don't worry, the source of troops There has never been a shortage in the Northwest. As long as the funds are in place, if you can’t recruit people in northern Shaanxi, you can still be closed. There is also Gansu. In short, people are not a problem. Our Northwest is no better than your south. Poor people who are miserable have no way out, and they have no capital to do business. There is no one to hire people to work, and there is not much harvest from farming. Serving as a soldier and eating food is the best way out. A good man should not be a soldier. There is no such saying in our Northwest.”

"That's good! That's good! That's it, we're done. Let me find out with the general. Mr. Zhongshan now has as many as fifteen reliable troops in his hands! After Guangxi is settled, it is estimated that two The Tenth Division can also get it. And we have already contacted Fengzhang and Zhelu, and the three parties will fight together before the end of next year. The new army in northern Shaanxi will be a surprise army. It will leave Suiyuan and go east to Chaha Copy Beijing." Luo Yaoguo paused and said, "General Hu Chen's troops will also expand to about [-] people. When the time comes, we will go south to Guanzhong with Master Jing. We will find a way to deal with the funds, weapons and ammunition. How much is the general still short of?" Come up with a figure in a few days. In addition, the cadres of the Northwest New Army will go to northern Shaanxi soon, and I hope the general can give you convenience."

"There is such a thing! So the revolution is really going to succeed?" Hearing Luo Yaoguo's plan, Yang Huchen's face was full of excitement: "Please general Fuwen report to the Prime Minister after returning, and I, Yang Huchen, will definitely cooperate fully. "

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile and said, "General Huchen, there is one more thing I want to explain to you. This Northwest New Army is co-organized by our Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the military expenses are assisted by Soviet Russia. Therefore, the Communist Party members in the new army There will be more. But please rest assured that the Communist Party will not interfere in the civil affairs of northern Shaanxi, nor will it seize territory in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi will be handed over to Ran Weng, General and Master Jing.”

"The Communist Party?" Yang Huchen didn't seem to know much about this party, but since he was cooperating with Mr. Zhongshan, he couldn't be wrong.Thinking of this, General Huchen patted his chest and said: "Since I am Mr. Zhongshan's friend, I, Yang, will naturally not treat them badly. General Fuwen, please rest assured. As long as the Communist Party does not interfere with our Shaanxi affairs, the establishment of the army and the recruitment of soldiers I, Yang Huchen, will help them find a way."

With Yang Huchen's cooperation, it is estimated that the Northwest New Army plan can be implemented smoothly.It seems that Luo Yaoguo has changed beyond recognition at this point in history.The Kuomintang now has a solid territory and has begun "political training", while the Communist Party turned its attention to armed struggle early and began to build its own army.Maybe we can enter Beijing in 24 or 25, but what kind of situation will it be?Coalition Government or Soviets of Engineers and Soldiers?

Chapter 0065 Southwest War ([-])

While Luo Yaoguo was going north to gain territory and troops for the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek was also fighting for territory for the Kuomintang in the southwest.A Southwest War that didn't exist in another time and space was instigated by butterfly wings.

The fuse of this war was the civil war in Guangxi. The two sides in the civil war in Guangxi were Yang Ximin, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, and Liu Zhenhuan, the governor of Guangxi.The war between Yang and Liu broke out in September 1923 at the instigation of Chiang Kai-shek.Commander-in-Chief Yang Ximin of Guangxi and Governor Liu Zhenhuan used to have a good relationship, and their relationship was very harmonious until they came to Guangxi.However, after Lu Rongting was expelled from Guangxi, the conflict between the Yunnan and Guangxi armies became more and more serious.It turned out that when they were in Guangdong, Yang and Liu had to hug each other to keep warm because they were surrounded by a group of Cantonese.But now that he has obtained Guangxi Province and started to be his own master, the question of who will be the boss and who will be the second child will immediately come to the fore.

Yang Ximin of the Yunnan Army has an army of more than 1 troops, and it seems that he should be the boss.However, Liu Zhenhuan of the Gui Army is the leader of Guangxi, and the bandits and militias in Guangxi are willing to fight with him, so Liu Zhenhuan's force has expanded to more than 1 people in a short time, which is comparable to Yang Ximin.At this time, Chiang Kai-shek sent He Chengjun, who was transferred from Fujian, to tell Liu Zhenhuan the story of the people of Guizhou governing Guizhou.How powerful is He Chengjun's mouth!How could Liu Zhenhuan withstand him being fooled by his ears every day?So, Liu Zhenhuan began to report to Mr. Zhongshan, saying bad things about Yang Ximin.And these small reports somehow went around Zhu Peide and Fan Shisheng before reaching Yang Ximin's.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ximin naturally had to think about countermeasures, so he asked his confidant commander Hu Sishun to discuss.

"Min Gong, the current situation is always unfavorable to us. There are people surnamed Liu in the court, and Bai Chongxi from Guangxi is now the deputy chief of staff and a celebrity around Chiang Kai-shek, and Mr. Zhongshan only listens to Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi. "Hu Sishun told the boss about the unfavorable situation he had imagined out of his own imagination: "Our Yunnan Zhu Yizhi is an honest man, how can we win against Bai Chongxi? I ​​think the status of our Yunnan Army with Mr. Zhongshan is getting worse day by day. Why don't you consider Lian Shuai (Tang Jiyao)'s proposal?"

It turned out that Liu Zhenhuan's small report was not all groundless, Yang Ximin and Tang Jiyao from Yunnan really had some contacts.In fact, Yang Ximin was originally Tang Jiyao's subordinate, but he followed Gu Pinzhen against Tang Jiyao two years ago and drove Tang Jiyao from his position as the governor of Yunnan. , regain power.At that time, Yang Ximin was leading troops in Guizhou, because he was afraid of being liquidated by Tang Jiyao, he had to lead his troops to join Mr. Zhongshan.

"Lian Shuai is not very easy to get along with." Thinking of Tang Jiyao's tricky hands, Yang Ximin felt chills down his spine: "How about I go to Guangzhou in person and explain the matter clearly to Mr. Zhongshan?"

Hu Sishun sneered and said: "Mr. Zhongshan is not the Mr. Zhongshan in the past. Since he was sent back to Guangdong, he has been tightening his military power. Now not only the military salary is paid to the regiment level, but also the transfer of a battalion requires the general staff of Lao Shizi." The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs! In this way, we army commanders and commanders are not empty-handed? It’s fine that those Cantonese are his nephews, why should we Yunnan people be subjected to such birdishness!”

"It's not good to be so hasty about this matter. You and I are the ones who betrayed the Lianjun, and Mr. Zhongshan didn't let us down." Yang Ximin didn't know that he had fallen into Chiang Kai-shek's calculations, and he was still hesitant.

Hu Sishun was determined to defect to the old lord, but since most of the troops were under the control of Yang Ximin, if he didn't pull Yang into the water, he might become a poor army commander.So, in order to pull Yang Ximin into the water, Commander Hu turned his head and came up with a clever plan: "Mr. Min, why don't we test Mr. Zhongshan and see how he treats us? How?"

"What kind of heuristic?" Yang Ximin seemed interested.

"We can declare a crusade on the grounds of Liu Zhenhuan's betrayal of the revolution. If Mr. Zhongshan values ​​us, he will naturally order to appease us. Then we will go down the donkey and continue the revolution with him." Hu Sishun didn't say another result, hum, another One result, of course, is that Mr. Zhongshan sent a large army to crusade, so Yang Ximin turned to Tang Jiyao and relied on Tang's assistance to fight against Mr. Zhongshan.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Under Hu Sishun's bewitching, Yang Ximin finally made up his mind to do something that he regretted for the rest of his life.

As soon as Yang Ximin's crusade order came out, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Generalissimo's Office immediately ordered Yang to be removed from his post and other posts, and ordered him to go to Guangzhou to explain the reason to the Generalissimo's Office immediately.Later, Liu Zhenhuan of Guilin also announced a crusade against Yang Ximin, saying that he had colluded with Tang Jiyao of Yunnan in an attempt to attack Guangdong, and the Generalissimo's Office did not take any punishment for Liu Zhenhuan's actions.This is tantamount to admitting Liu Zhenhuan's accusation against Yang Ximin in a disguised form!When things got to this point, Yang Ximin had no way out except to complain secretly, so he had to send an envoy to Kunming to ask Tang Jiyao for help.

Tang Jiyao and Yan Xishan are classmates, both graduated from the sixth Japanese non-commissioned officer class. Both of them are experts in internal affairs, and they are not good at fighting.But, Yan Laoxi has benefited Shanxi all these years, devoted himself to the economy, and did not participate in the melee of warlords. He is a model among warlords.And Tang Jiyao is a soft persimmon without self-knowledge. He is obviously a soft persimmon, but he thinks he is very hard. He wholeheartedly fights civil war and expands everywhere. However, a soft persimmon is always a soft persimmon. Tang Jiyao expands and expands. However, many of his brothers died in battle.So much so that it was overthrown in 1921 by Gu Pinzhen, who took advantage of the war weariness of the troops to launch a mutiny. It was not until the second year that he returned to Yunnan with the support of Long Yun and other old generals to regain power.

Tang Jiyao, the militant who took back Yunnan, still did not recognize the fact that he was a soft persimmon. He immediately expanded the Yunnan Army under his command into the "Founding Army" and took office in the seven provinces of Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi. Commander-in-Chief!And at the end of 1922, the Sichuan and Guizhou coalition forces were reorganized.And in March 1923, using Liu Xianshi, who had failed in the civil strife in Guizhou, as a signboard, he sent his brother Tang Jiyu as the Southeast Xuanfu envoy and the former enemy commander of the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army, and led the army into Guizhou. On March 3, Yuan Zuming, governor of Guizhou, led his army to retreat into Sichuan, and Guizhou fell into the hands of Tang Jiyao again.After taking Guizhou Province, Tang Jiyao took Tang Jiyu as the aftermath supervisor of Guizhou and Liu Xianshi as the governor, divided Guizhou into five districts and ten sub-districts, and set up a garrison commander to exercise strict control.

Shortly thereafter, the Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan armies sent by Mr. Sun Yat-sen drove away Lu Rongting from Guangxi and became neighbors with Tang Jiyao.Tang Jiyao, who won Guizhou, faced the problem of being restrained by Guizhou and having no troops to invade other provinces.So he tried to recruit the old department to see if he could bring Yang Ximin back. In this case, Guangxi might also fall into Tang's hands.Thus, the flirting between Tang Jiyao and Yang Ximin began. Tang Jiyao offered Yang Ximin the price of the deputy commander-in-chief of the founding coalition forces and the supervisor of Guangxi, while Yang Ximin wanted to swing between Sun and Tang to achieve the goal of separatist Guangxi.As Mr. Sun Yat-sen gathered his military power step by step, Yang Ximin and Hu Sishun, who felt that they were in a bad situation, accelerated the pace of contact with Tang. Until October 1923, Yang Ximin, who was designed for Chiang Kai-shek, completely fell into Tang Jiyao's arms. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.

Chiang Kai-shek learned that Yang Ximin was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the founding coalition forces on the way to Guangxi. He personally led the army to Guangxi on the third day of school at the Whampoa Military Academy.According to Chiang Kai-shek's plan, Bai Chongxi led a total of three divisions, the Eighth, Eleventh, and Guiyi Divisions, to form the North Route Army, entered Guangxi from Wuzhou, and then marched northward to "reinforce" Liu Zhenhuan in Guilin.Zhu Peide led two Yunnan armies to advance northward from Qinzhou to Nanning.Chiang Kai-shek himself and An Yi led five divisions and two artillery regiments to Zhanjiang and Qinzhou to march into Guangxi.

Yang Ximin, who had betrayed Mr. Sun Yat-sen, did not sit still or passively wait for Tang Jiyao's reinforcements. Instead, he sent Hu Sishun's army to deal with Liu Zhenhuan who was entrenched in Guilin first.This Liu Zhenhuan has more than 1 people under his command, but there are not many who can really fight. This so-called "Gui Army" is just a hodgepodge of bandits and militias. It is completely different from the elite soldiers brought out by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, so Only then did Yang Ximin send Hu Sishun's army of more than 7000 people to drive them out.

According to Yang Ximin's calculations, Tang Jiyao got the news that he was going to defect first. Naturally, the reinforcements from Yunnan should be one step ahead of the crusade army from Guangdong. With Tang Jiyao's support, he still has a great hope of keeping Guangxi.However, Tang Jiyao was very ambitious and greedy, and the Jianguo army would definitely grab territory as soon as they entered the country. The best territories in Guangxi were Nanning, Liuzhou, and Guilin, so Yang Ximin planned to concentrate his forces to ensure that these three cities were not lost.

Chapter 0066 Southwest War ([-])

In the 20s, Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Province, was very close to Guangdong Province, only a few tens of kilometers away, that is, a day's journey!At that time, Qinzhou was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. The Generalissimo’s Office deployed the First Army and the Second Army directly under the Yunnan Army. General Zhu Peide, the Deputy Minister of Military and Political Affairs, went to Qinzhou in person in early October to command the two armies to attack. Guangxi is ready.

"Jiegong, General Zhu Yizhi has an urgent telegram." An Yi, who temporarily served as the chief of staff of the Guangxi Thieves Army, passed the telegram he had just received to Chiang Kai-shek.

Lao Jiang led eight divisions and two armies of nearly [-] troops to crusade against Guangxi this time. The battle plan was formulated by An Yi, a Chinese-German military strategist.According to An Yi's plan, the target of this crusade against Guangxi is not Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan, but Tang Jiyao, a self-righteous persimmon.Therefore, on the surface, only Zhu Peide and Bai Chongxi were the only army to seek the thieves. The five divisions led by Chiang Kai-shek and two artillery regiments were secretly dispatched.
