"Support Mr. Sun Yat-sen?" Ma Hongkui had heard the real meaning from Zhou Enlai's words.Now there are more armed forces claiming to support Mr. Zhongshan, but this does not mean obeying the leadership of Mr. Zhongshan or the Kuomintang.Ma Hongkui smiled and said: "We also support Mr. Zhongshan's proposition. In this sense, we are friendly forces. The conflict in July was completely a misunderstanding. I hope you can accept this explanation."

The battle in July was entirely due to Ma Buqing’s cavalry showing their prowess. These Muslims from the bitter cold of Qinghai really believed that after death, they could go to the paradise with many beautiful women, beautiful clothes and delicious food, so the battle was a One is not afraid of death, and the other is not afraid of suffering.In contrast, Ma Hongkui's Ningma is a pile of tofu, so Ma Fuxiang, Ma Hongkui and his son couldn't be tough in the negotiations with the Communist Party.

Now that Zhou Enlai has recovered his demeanor, he nodded slightly and said: "We can accept your ministry's explanation, but we hope that you can take practical actions to show that you support Mr. Zhongshan."

"Practical action? Oh, my father and I have already applied to the bearded man to join the Kuomintang." Ma Hongkui thought for a while and added: "If your party allows members to believe in Allah, we can also join the Communist Party."

"We want to take practical actions to overthrow the reactionary government." Zhou Enlai shook his head and said: "We will march to Beijing next month to overthrow the reactionary government. Take action to overthrow the reactionary government and drive out the great powers!"

"What?" Ma Hongkui was taken aback. The other party wanted to attack Beijing, and also brought his family into the gang. The risk of this matter was too great, and it had already exceeded the Ma family's ability to bear it.Ma Hongkui shook his head resolutely and said: "Our Ma family has been loyal to the central government for generations to maintain the stability of the Northwest. How can we do such a thing? No, absolutely not."

Zhou Enlai nodded calmly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to join us in the revolution, but don't stop us from revolution. We hope you can let us pass by and help us purchase supplies along the way, and keep secrets from Beijing. .”

"This matter is very important. Mr. Zhou, please allow me to discuss it with my father. How about I give you an answer in a few days?" Ma Hongkui did not dare to make a decision on the excuse, and said he would ask Ma Fuxiang for instructions.

After Ma Hongkui and Bao Shumian left, Qu Ming frowned and asked Zhou Enlai, "Enlai, do you think Ma Fuxiang will agree to excuse me?"

Zhou Enlai smiled and replied: "He dare not not excuse us. If he doesn't excuse us, we will attack Suiyuan. If he excuses us, we will attack Wu Peifu. Hehe, how do you think these warlords will choose?"

"I'd rather he didn't make excuses." Qu Ming shook his head and said, "We're going across Suiyuan to fight Chahar now. It's a desperate battle with no rear. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous!" This is Mao Zedong's opinion. Qu Ming is now clearly standing with Mao Zedong.

Zhou Enlai stood up heavily and paced the room.The Battle of Yulin River exposed many problems of the Northwest New Army. After all, this army is a newly formed army, and almost 100% of the recruits are recruits. Even many regiment and battalion commanders are on the battlefield for the first time. The combat experience is extremely lacking, and the opponent is unexpectedly tough.Although the battle ended in a draw, the Kuomintang officers in the new army had some fear of the northwestern horses, thinking that if they marched into Suiyuan, it would take half a year for the new army to defeat the horses and gain a foothold. Here's the chance.Therefore, Yu Youren and Deng Yanda suggested to the Soviet adviser Pavlov and General Galen to ask Ma Fuxiang for an excuse, and obtained the support of the Soviet adviser.However, Mao Zedong firmly opposed to changing the plan. He believed that he would rather not enter Beijing than give up the Suiyuan plan. Suiyuan has a vast territory, close to the Soviet Union and connected to northern Shaanxi is the best development direction.

"Xin, marching into Beijing is an instruction from the Central Committee and the Communist International. As a member of the Communist Party, we must obey it unconditionally." Zhou Enlai said in a very serious tone, "We must do everything possible to complete the tasks entrusted by the party. Do you understand that the implementation of the party’s resolutions will be affected by the proposition of the party? Although the plan to march into Beijing and open up a base area in Chahar has certain risks, the benefits are also huge. Chahar is connected to Outer Mongolia and Beijing, and we occupy Once there, the aid from the Soviet Union can flow into Beijing continuously, and we can form a large number of revolutionary troops in Chahar, and we can also use Chahar as a base to march into the Northeast and completely dig out the Japanese imperialists in China. A ticking time bomb!"

While Zhou Enlai, Qu Ming and Ma Hongkui were negotiating, Ma Fuxiang also secretly met with bearded calligrapher Yu Youren in another courtyard of the Metropolitan Administration.

"Mr. Youren, can you give me a letter as to whether Premier Sun's illness is serious or not?" Ma Fuxiang, the obese governor, leaned on a large sofa, and Yu Youren sat opposite him. People talked about things while drinking tea, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than that of Zhou Enlai.

"Oh." Yu Youren shook his head and stroked his beard, but he sighed without answering.

Seeing the expression of the bearded man, Ma Fuxiang naturally knew how serious the prime minister's condition was.He frowned and said: "If Prime Minister Sun is here and the Kuomintang has the backbone, everything will be fine, but if one day he is gone, I'm afraid we will go the old way of Beiyang." Then Ma Fuxiang asked again: "Prime Minister Will the son take over in the future?" The son is Sun Ke, who is now the mayor of Guangzhou, and the official is not small, but the Republic of China is in troubled times, and a mayor who has nothing to do with guns is of little use.

"Master Zhesheng? Haha, no way." Yu Youren waved his hand and said, "It's not like father and son succeeding in our place."

Ma Fuxiang said with some regret: "When the old one dies, the young one will do it. What a good system! Why doesn't your KMT use it? Our Northwest Five Horses are planning to do this, and Zhang Yushuai seems to want a young marshal to take over. That's great. , able to convince the masses, and stable.” What Ma Fuxiang said also made sense. Sun Yat-sen had a lot of students, but only one son. The boss seems to be stronger than beating life and death there.

"Hehe, we can't do it there. Besides, Zhesheng doesn't agree with the prime minister's three major policies, and has a bad relationship with the Communists. Now the prime minister has arranged a four-member presidium and a nine-member military committee, and collective leadership will be required in the future." While stroking his beard, Yu Youren introduced Mr. Zhongshan's "funeral affairs".Sun Yat-sen racked his brains for this "funeral matter", and in order to maintain the unity of the party, he took the initiative to alienate the Communists, which greatly reduced the combativeness and revolutionary nature of the Kuomintang, and even the revolutionary enthusiasm of the entire southern China is gradually weakening. Extinguished signs.

"Young Master Sun has a bad relationship with the communists? What's the matter?" Ma Fuxiang also doesn't like the Communist Party, because he knows that the Communist Party does not allow people to believe in Allah.Although Lao Ma is a moderate Muslim, he still believes in the existence of Allah.

"It's hard for us to say, it's hard to say." Yu Youren didn't know much about it.I only know that in June, the rightists in the Kuomintang proposed a "Case of Impeaching the Communist Party", and Sun Ke participated in it.Since the Soviet Union and the Beijing government signed the "Outline of Sino-Russian Suspenseful Issues" at the end of May, and Li Dazhao, a member of the Kuomintang, petitioned the Beijing government to support the Soviet Union's garrison in Outer Mongolia and the self-determination of the people of Outer Mongolia, the right wing of the Kuomintang Party has launched a campaign against the Communist Party. In the new round of attacks, Sun Ke is on the right side of the Kuomintang in these incidents. Of course, there are not many leftists in Guangzhou in this time and space.

Ma Fuxiang also heard some clues from Yu Youren's words. It seems that the two factions in the Kuomintang are now fighting fiercely. It seems to Sun Yat-sen that the Kuomintang will inevitably split.

"Mr. Youren, are you sure that the new army will attack Beijing this time?" Ma Fuxiang changed the topic to marching into Beijing again.

"Well, I'm sure. This time we have agreed with Zhang Yuting and Duan Zhi to fight together. We now have territory in five and a half provinces and more than 20 troops! Zhang Yuting's soldiers are no less than 25, plus Lu Zijia’s 60 troops, Northern Shaanxi’s [-] soldiers, we have more than [-] soldiers available! So I still advise General Yunting to stand with us.” Speaking of the upcoming battle, Yu Youren was full of confidence, The current KMT can be said to have a strong army and horses. Although there is a danger of splitting, that is after the death of Mr. Zhongshan. Now Mr. Zhongshan is worth ten thousand sentences.

Ma Fuxiang waved his hands without thinking too much: "It's not like you don't know about the Han family feud in the Northwest, Mr. Youren. It's okay for you to oppose the central government. But if I say the opposite, it's rebellion back home. How about you just go eastward?" If I can cooperate, I will cooperate, and if it is not convenient for me to cooperate, I will not obstruct it. Is this the head office?" He has been committed to the national unity and national unity in the Northwest these years, avoiding conflicts between Hui and Han as much as possible.And I have always wanted to blur Hui Han, claiming to be Han instead of Hui.So he didn't want to participate in the war against the Han central government.

"Okay. General Yunting can provide us with convenience, we are very satisfied. On behalf of Mr. Zhongshan, I thank the general." Seeing that the task was completed, Yu Youren stopped persuading Ma Fuxiang to send troops.

The next day, Zhou Enlai and Qu Ming also met Ma Fuxiang, and held a new round of negotiations with Ma Fuxiang. Ma Fuxiang agreed to borrow the route to the Communist Party, but asked the Communist Party not to enter the city along the way, and not to spread Marxist ideas to Mongolian farmers and herdsmen.Zhou Enlai did not raise any objections to this. The mission of spreading Marxism to the Mongolian farmers and herdsmen will be undertaken by the Mongolian Communists represented by Comrade Ulanhu. It is not the current focus of the Northwest New Army. The goal of the Northwest New Army is now Only the city of Beijing.

At the end of August, Zhou Enlai and others successfully returned to Yan'an, the red capital at the foot of Pagoda Mountain, after completing their mission.Zhou Enlai and Qu Ming, who had just returned to Wangjialing, where the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party was stationed, were dragged by Qu Ying to the smoky conference room before they had time to catch their breath.

As soon as Zhang Guotao arrived, he clashed with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the Northwest Bureau. The reason was whether to retain the northern Shaanxi base and the strategy of the Northwest New Army after the eastward expedition.Zhang Guotao's opinion is to abandon northern Shaanxi, concentrate all forces on the eastward expedition, strive to capture Chahar, Zhili, Beijing, Shandong, and Henan, and then unite with the progressive warlords in Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Shaanxi to form a coalition government with the Kuomintang, and prevent the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui from the Anhui Department participated.This opinion represented the meaning of the Central Committee and the Communist International, so Zhang Guotao did not do persuasion education, so he forced Mao Zedong and others to obey.

Of course, Mao Zedong could not agree to this almost absurd adventure plan. His idea was to defend the northern Shaanxi base with the third division and help Yang Huchen capture Guanzhong.With 2 people, the main force of the Northwest New Army, they marched eastward to capture Chahar, and then waited for an opportunity to advance to Beijing and Zhili.After taking control of Beijing, hold a political consultative conference attended by all parties to discuss the formation of a coalition government. No party will be excluded, but the Kuomintang and all patriotic generals must be united.

When Zhou Enlai walked into the smoky conference room, Zhang Guotao was emphasizing his views on behalf of the Central Committee and the International. He waved his arms and said: "Comrades, the Party Central Committee and the Third International believe that the climax of the Chinese revolution is coming soon." , this climax is the prelude to the climax of the world revolution. We Chinese Communists have the obligation to walk in the forefront of the world revolution and contribute all our energy and life to the climax of the world revolution! The all-out Eastern Expedition proposed by the Party Central Committee and the Third International The plan was made in consideration of the imminent climax, the imminent awakening of the Chinese people, and the imminent death of imperialism, and it is completely correct and beyond doubt." Well, of course, Zhang Guotao himself did not believe it, because For this reason, he also quarreled with Marin, the representative of the Third International, in Guangzhou.

Mao Zedong took a deep breath, then got up to refute, he said: "Our current strength is still very weak, the key to the success of this Eastern Expedition is entirely whether the scuffle between the enemies will give us a chance. It is a mistake of opportunism to pin the future of the revolution on such an opportunity! The base area in northern Shaanxi is the hard work of our party comrades and the foundation of our party. As long as we have this land in hand, our Eastern Expedition will suffer After some setbacks, there will still be a day of comeback. So I firmly request to keep a powerful part in northern Shaanxi, and help General Yang Huchen seize Guanzhong." Mao Zedong had seen Zhou Enlai come in at this time, and he knew Zhou Enlai's importance. If If Zhang Guotao wants to implement his proposition, he must get Zhou's support. Otherwise, Zhang Guotao has no foundation in the army, and he will not be able to command the Northwest New Army at all: "Enlai, tell me a few words, let's talk about northern Shaanxi." Do you want to keep the base area?"

After Zhou Enlai knew the reason for the dispute between the two sides, he immediately sided with Mao Zedong. In his opinion, the Central Committee and the Third International had overly optimistic estimates of the situation of the Chinese revolution. It might not be a problem to seize Chahar in the Eastern Expedition, but It is not easy to enter Beijing and take Zhili, let alone Shandong and Henan.Thinking of this, Zhou Enlai said with a serious expression: "Comrades, my opinion is that northern Shaanxi still needs to be preserved. There is no contradiction between our preservation of northern Shaanxi and the eastward expedition to Beijing."

"But in this way, our troops will be dispersed." At this time, General Pavlov, the Soviet adviser, interjected: "We only have three divisions in total. If we divide one division, it will lose one-third of our troops. This will affect the results of our Eastern Expedition."

Zhou Enlai smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "There are two keys to our victory in this Eastern Expedition. One is that the melee between warlords will give us this opportunity. The other is suddenness. Comrade Pavlov, do you know that from Yan'an to Beijing is thousands of kilometers away, and it will take more than a month to march along the way. During this time, if there is no army bluffing in northern Shaanxi, the enemy will wonder: Where did the revolutionary army in northern Shaanxi go? Is Beijing coming? If Wu Peifu is well-armed at the entrances of the Great Wall, even if I have one more division, it will be difficult for me to break through and enter Beijing. On the contrary, if he is unguarded, we can attack suddenly to achieve our goal."

Zhou Enlai cleverly took a detour, combining the suddenness of the battle with the suddenness of the battle, and all the comrades who opposed the stay in northern Shaanxi were actually persuaded by him.As a result, the meeting passed a resolution to form a new Northwest Bureau with Mao Zedong as the secretary, lead the Third Division of the Northwest New Army to stay in northern Shaanxi, and be responsible for helping Yang Huchen attack Guanzhong.With Zhou Enlai as the political commissar of the East Route Army of the Northwest New Army, he led the Eastern Expedition together with Zhang Guotao, the special commissioner of the Central Committee.The Eastern Route Army secretly left Yan'an for the Yulin area on September 9. After the battle between Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin started, the Eastern Expedition officially began, and they would secretly raid Chahar through Suiyuan.

Chapter 0099 red star sparkling (three)

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" With a long whistle, the long-lost guest is ushered in Guangzhou Port in the morning light. It is the symbol of Sino-Soviet friendship—the cargo ship Lenin.This [-]-ton cruise ship has been busy on the route from Vladivostok to Guangzhou for more than a year, transporting ships of Soviet machinery and equipment, industrial raw materials, and key components to China to help China's heavy industry construction, and at the same time carrying A large amount of Chinese agricultural products and light industrial products returned to the Soviet Union to improve the tight domestic supply.Today is the last time that the Lenin transported Soviet industrial equipment into Guangzhou Port. The machinery and equipment in the Sino-Soviet construction aid agreement reached more than a year ago have already arrived in Guangzhou. In addition, there are special steel products worth millions of gold rubles. , alloys, copper, chemical raw materials and other raw materials urgently needed by the Kuomintang military factories arrived, which greatly supported the Kuomintang's Northern Expedition.

Among the people walking down the ship's hanging ladder was a fat, white, middle-aged man with round eyes.He is the new chief engineer of the Armament Department, Major General Lu Ming. His efficient work over the past year has won him the respect of his colleagues in the Armament Department. He is well-deserved as the chief engineer of the Major General.However, Major General Lu is still a little afraid of people gossiping, uh, saying that he used his sister's beauty to flatter Luo Yaoguo, the deputy chief of staff.

"Is there really no one saying that?" Lu Ming asked his younger sister Lu Xiaobei in a low voice. Today, only she and Lu Ming's German wife Fanny came to greet her at the pier, but no senior officials from the Kuomintang came forward. This is obviously a problem!

"Brother! Fuwen and I are in free love! Well, I have the freedom to be obedient." Xiaobei's face flushed slightly when she said this: "Brother, should you go back to the ministry to explain your work or go home first?"

Xiaobei and Fanny came to pick up the ship today as personnel from the Armament Department. They are now the German secretary of the Armament Department, responsible for translating German technical materials and providing German experts (some from the Third International, and some from Krupp) Sent) as an interpreter, and by the way, also responsible for doing odd jobs and picking up people at the pier.

"Really? Oh, then I don't worry, I thought they would look down on me and even come to pick me up at the pier." Lu Ming threw all the big and small bags to his sister, then picked up his wife's waist and walked out of the pier to prepare Call a car to go home.

"Darling, why is your mind smaller than the eye of a needle? People are very busy with work, so they don't have time to pick you up at the pier." Fanny whispered softly in her husband's ear.

"Well, very busy? Do they have anything to do?" Lu Ming didn't know that the Chinese soldiers were about to fight, and he didn't know that the Kuomintang Central Committee had been fighting for the past two days.

"Today is September 9th, and the Central Committee of the Kuomintang held a meeting. They have had meetings every day for the past two days and they have been arguing." Lu Xiaobei murmured while dragging a large bag: "Minister Luo and several vice ministers, the factories of the arsenal and the steel factory The chiefs are all members of the Central Executive Committee, and they have been meeting every day for the past two days, and after the meeting, they will still be arguing in the department, which is really annoying."

"What! Luo Yiqun, a good guy, still quarrels?" Lu Ming felt a little unbelievable.

"Well, why are you arguing about the "Case of Impeaching the Communist Party?" Fanny replied for Xiao Bei.

"Impeachment of the Communist Party"!This notorious Kuomintang internal motion was blocked by Mr. Zhongshan in another time and space, but in this time and space, because Mr. Zhongshan was ill and recuperating, he didn't have much energy to deal with internal affairs of the party, so the motion was passed now!In the current Kuomintang Central Executive Committee, rightists account for the majority, while the number of leftist executive committees is small, and a considerable number of them are not in Guangzhou.Luo Yaoguo's uncle, Luo Yiqun, had the highest position on the leftist executive committee in Guangzhou, but he was powerless to prevent the passage of this bill.On the afternoon when Lu Ming and the last batch of Soviet construction aid arrived, the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang passed the reactionary "Impeachment of the Communist Party" and expelled a large number of Kuomintang members who had the status of Communist Party members from the party!

On the night when the impeachment was passed, the Communist Party leaders Chen Duxiu and Qu Qiubai went to Qinglu in Baiyun Mountain to lodge a solemn protest to Mr. Zhongshan.During this period of time, in order to recover from his illness, Mr. Zhongshan has not taken time to meet with the leaders of the Communist Party, but now that the right wing of the Kuomintang has made such a big disturbance, Mr. Zhongshan can't do without an explanation.

In the plainly furnished living room in Qinglu, Chen Duxiu used his loud voice to protest against the Kuomintang, and even threatened to form a Red Army!Yes, it is the Red Army. The real applicable name of the Northwest New Army is the Red Army.

"I personally have no opinion on your party's establishment of the Red Army. The Northwest New Army is originally your party's armed force, and it is okay to call it the Red Army. However, I hope that your party can announce the victory after the Zhifeng War, so as not to prevent Wu Peifu from Stop the war with Zhang Zuolin and deal with you." Mr. Zhongshan said with a smile while drinking anti-cancer green tea while sitting in a dilapidated armchair.

"What?" Chen Duxiu was just talking about the establishment of the Red Army, but Mr. Zhongshan was so reasonable: "You mean, you support changing the name of the Northwest New Army to the Red Army?"

"Yes, you can understand it that way. I think that since the Northwest New Army is the armed forces of your party, it is inappropriate to continue to wear the signboard of the Kuomintang. It should be restored to its original colors at an appropriate time." Mr. Zhongshan smiled slightly, and then Said: "I suggest after the Zhifeng war is over, or after you take Chahar."

"Then after we announce the establishment of the Red Army, what about the cooperation between the two parties?" Qu Qiubai asked from the side.

Mr. Zhongshan smiled and said: "The cooperation between the two parties can still continue? Doesn't your party have an army now, and we can still cooperate very well? Is there any difference between you calling the Red Army and the Northwest New Army?"

Chen Duxiu nodded and said, "What about the cadres of your party in the Northwest New Army?"

"If your party wants to keep them, and they themselves are willing to continue serving the Red Army, I have no objection. Otherwise, we can recall them." Mr. Zhongshan drank a sip of green tea to moisten his throat and said: "I wish you the best of luck here. You Red Army flags are victorious, and you will be determined in Beijing as soon as possible."
