Chapter 0135 coup (thirteen)

Youth Party!After listening to Yang Yuting's speech, these three words immediately appeared in the minds of the representatives of the KMT and the Communist Party in the venue.It is obvious that Fengjun has now colluded with the right-wing political party Youth Party!This is another event that has never happened in time and space. At that time, the Youth Party colluded with the direct warlord Sun Chuanfang and set up a military academy in Nanjing to follow the example of Huangpu.But now Sun Chuanfang has already left the field and returned home as an apartment.The Youth Party naturally wanted to find another partner to cooperate with. Obviously, their views just gave the Feng faction an excuse to launch a counter-revolutionary civil war, so the two factions of counter-revolutionaries naturally combined.

After Yang Yuting finished his speech, it was Xu Shuzheng's turn to speak out. This is the national hero who recovered Outer Mongolia. Now he will not let go of the opportunity to show his patriotism. What's more, they kept questioning Feng Yuxiang and the Communist Party, saying: "May I ask General Huanzhang and the lords of the Communist Party, is Mongolia still China's territory? General Huanzhang, you must say that you are patriotic now, so I would like to ask you. Now Soviet Union Russia occupied our Mongolia. After you came to power, are you going to send troops to crusade and recover the lost land? Even if you have no power for the time being, should you issue a statement now to condemn the atrocities of Soviet Russia and show that China has indisputable sovereignty over Mongolia? As far as I know, it seems that General Feng has never said anything similar, and there are still rumors that General Feng will recognize the Kullen government after being elected as the leader of the coalition government! It's also good to clear our confusion, let us see whether General Feng is really patriotic or fake patriotism."

The speeches of Yang Yuting and Xu Shuzheng immediately drove Feng Yuxiang to a dead end, and now all eyes are on Feng Yuxiang, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.Feng Yuxiang's face turned blue, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes were wide open, and he looked furious.

However, Feng Yuxiang did not make a fool of himself after all, because the leader of the Communist Party, Chen Duxiu, announced the adjournment in time.All representatives and journalists are invited to have lunch first, and then continue the meeting in the afternoon.

The KMT and the Communist Party and General Feng Yuxiang are allies, so it is natural to have dinner in the same restaurant, and discuss the coping strategy in the afternoon by the way.

"We hope that the Kuomintang can issue a statement to refute the enemy's lies." Zhou Enlai spoke first, and straightforwardly put forward the request of the Communist Party: "Now only the Kuomintang can come forward to defuse the enemy's attack on us, and this is in line with the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party. The three major policies are what the Prime Minister has always advocated."

Liao Zhongkai and Zou Lu looked at each other, and then fell silent.This question is too difficult. If you say the wrong thing, you may have to expel Sun Yat-sen from the party.The Kuomintang is full of contradictions and compromises on this issue. The Kuomintang is unwilling to give up on the issue of Russia, the Republic, and Mongolia, and the result is what it is now.

Zhou Enlai's thick eyebrows were tightly knit together.The weakness and vacillation of the Kuomintang leftists and the vacillation of the Communist Party have long been foreseen, but they did not expect them to be so weak that they would immediately waver when the enemy attacked.Zhou turned his head and looked at Luo Yaoguo who was eating sullenly: "General Fuwen, tell me, what should I do this afternoon?"

"Oh, this one?" Luo Yaoguo said in his heart that he still couldn't escape, and this Zhou Enlai was also the same, why did he have to find himself?Isn't he a weak and vacillating petty bourgeoisie?Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo shook his head embarrassingly: "Why don't we vote directly in the afternoon? Anyway, the combined votes of both of us are enough, and the Feng family has already collected our money, so we shouldn't regret it." As for avoiding voting directly Luo Yaoguo didn't care what impression this question would leave on the reporters.

"Yes, yes, yes. Supplementary text's suggestion is good, vote directly in the afternoon, anyway, General Huanzhang will always be the chairman." Liao Zhongkai rarely agreed with Luo Yaoguo.After all, under the current situation, it is absolutely infeasible to express your opinion casually.It's not that they are afraid of being seized by the enemy to attack the Kuomintang. Anyway, the Kuomintang is not very popular in the north now, but that they are afraid of being seized by opponents in the party to attack themselves.

Seeing the faces of the left and right factions of the Kuomintang, Zhou Enlai felt nauseous. He never thought that even the leftists, who had always been regarded as progressive, could not stand the test and would surrender to the enemy.

"Enlai, I think this is the way to go." Before Zhou Enlai could refute the Kuomintang's statement of surrender, Chen Duxiu actually agreed: "Oh, this problem is too difficult to deal with. It is logical that today we should declare that Mongolia is China. Don’t we just have a part of it? Then we’ll win this conference, but—” Chen Duxiu realized that he had made a slip of the tongue when he said this, sighed and shook his head.

Fortunately, the Soviet representatives did not show up at today's meeting. Perhaps they had already expected this embarrassing situation.Most of these guys are also old foxes. In this case, silence is golden, so don't talk too much, or the consequences of letting Stalin get caught will be very serious.

The representatives of the Soviet Union were not there, and the Communist Party was just talking about Chen Duxiu.Now that he made his statement, Zhou Enlai knew it was wrong, so he couldn't speak out to stop him. This is the discipline of the party.

"Ah!" It was Feng Yuxiang who sighed, and he was quite moved by Chen Duxiu's remarks. If he could make a statement that Mongolia's sovereignty should be returned to China, what political capital would it be!But it cannot be said now, if it is said, it will lose the support of Soviet Russia, and it will violate the three major policies of the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, and everything will be over.

The afternoon meeting was carried on in a dead scene.First, Liao Zhongkai, the representative of the Kuomintang, announced the start of the election of the chairman of the coalition government, and nominated General Feng Yuxiang as a candidate. The Kuomintang represented thirteen provinces (regions) in the south to support Feng Yuxiang.Just a few words to deal with the matter.Immediately afterwards, Chen Duxiu, the leader of the Communist Party, announced that the Communist Party also supported General Feng Yuxiang, and supported Feng Yuxiang as chairman on behalf of Chahar and northern Shaanxi.Later, Lu Zhonglin, the representative of General Feng Yuxiang, also supported his boss as the chairman of the coalition government on behalf of Jingzhao and half of Zhili.So far, a total of [-] provinces (regions) have supported Feng Yuxiang as the chairman, and the number of votes has exceeded half.

"Our Fengjun can also support Feng Huanzhang this time, but we ask General Huanzhang to declare Mongolia as an inalienable territory of China as soon as possible, with the heart of the people of Anguo." It doesn't sound good, but Yang Yuting finally supported Feng Yuxiang on behalf of Hei, Ji, Liao, Re and half of Zhili.

"On behalf of Shandong, I oppose Feng Yuxiang's appointment as the chairman of the coalition government! Unless he can immediately declare Outer Mongolia as Chinese territory! And cut off all ties with the Soviet Union!" Xu Shuzheng was really looking for death, and he didn't look at Feng Yuxiang's eyes that were already burning. How dare you say such a thing!This is Feng Yuxiang's territory!

"We in Henan and Shaanxi also oppose Feng Yuxiang's appointment as the chairman of the coalition government." Wu Peifu's representative Zhang Qiqiu also expressed his opposition.Now Shaanxi Governor Liu Zhenhua has returned to Wu Peifu's command. With the addition of Wu Xintian in Hanzhong, Wu Peifu's power can be considered to have half of northern Shaanxi.

After several major players in the Chinese political arena had expressed their positions, it was the turn of the Northwest heroes and representatives of Tibet to vote.Representatives of Suiyuan Ma Fuxiang and Xinjiang Yang Zengxin supported Feng Yuxiang, while representatives of Gansu and Qinghai opposed it.In the end, there was a lama who was confused about the direction and came up to vote. He was the representative of the [-]th Dalai Lama in Tibet. I don’t know why he came to Beijing to participate in this farce-like meeting?It is estimated that it was written by the British, and they wanted to highlight the aggressive ambitions of Soviet Russia.The lama also did not speak, and he voted against it accompanied by Fan Hai, a Tibetan official from the Kuomintang.

In this way, Feng Yuxiang won the support of most parts of the country and was successfully elected as the chairman of the coalition government of various factions. Chen Duxiu was appointed as the vice chairman, but Liao Zhongkai of the Kuomintang repeatedly declined the position of vice chairman.Then Feng Yuxiang appointed the ministers of the coalition government. Among them, the Minister of the Army appointed Sun Yue, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Army, the Minister of the Navy appointed Li Zhilong from the Communist Party, and the Aviation Supervisor appointed Ma Fuxiang, the commander of Suiyuan.Most of the civil servants were the leaders of the Communist Party. Li Dazhao was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lin Boqu was the Minister of Agriculture and Industry, Dong Biwu was the Minister of Finance, Wu Yuzhang, the Minister of Justice, Yang Angong, the Minister of Propaganda, and so on.

At this point, the first political consultative meeting of various factions in China is considered a success, and the Kuomintang has explained its policy of uniting Russia and the Communist Party, avoiding the breakdown of relations between the two parties and fighting like in history.From this perspective, this conference is still a conference of victory and a conference of unity.Although the sound of sharpening knives inside and outside Beijing has been earth-shattering, the specter of the counter-revolutionary coup has gradually revealed its ferocious features.

Chapter 0136 coup (fourteen)

When the representatives of various factions who came to the meeting slowly walked out of the venue to be interviewed by reporters, the Kuomintang delegation was discussing the operation of the coalition government and the southern revolution with the Communist Party leaders Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao on the second floor of the Yingbin Building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Crack! Crack!" Two crisp gunshots came from outside the window.

The representatives of the two factions were startled. Could it be that the counter-revolutionary coup has already begun?The cloud of a counter-revolutionary coup has long hung over Beijing, and even the most optimistic Communists have already felt the murderous intent.

"Enlai, you should go back to Xishan to take charge of the overall situation." Chen Duxiu frowned, "Mr. Zhongkai, the enemy's attack may have already begun. Under such circumstances, our two parties must unite as one."

"No, this gunshot is probably an assassination." Liao Zhongkai shook his head with the same solemn expression.The Kuomintang obviously has more experience in assassination. He analyzed: "The gunshot is the sound of a pistol, and it's just downstairs. I'm afraid it's—"

"It's not good, it's not good, Xu Shuzheng was beaten to death!" Qu Ming's voice came from outside the door.

"Xu Shuzheng?" Chen Duxiu shook his head puzzled, "Why did the enemy kill him?"

"Xion, what's going on?" Zhou Enlai grabbed Qu Ming who had hurried in from outside the door and asked, "Speak slowly, carefully, what's going on downstairs?" Crying, yelling, and exclamation sounded like a mess, and depending on the situation, it was indeed an assassination incident.

Qu Ming calmed down and said: "Just now when Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yuting were answering reporters' questions at the gate of the Yingbin Building, two gunshots were heard suddenly, and then there was chaos. When I ran over, I found that Xu Shuzheng had been shot twice and fell on the ground. In the pool of blood, there are vital points, one shot to the head and the other to the heart.” At this point, Qu Ming was still in shock, his face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

Zhou Enlai felt that the situation was serious. Xu Shuzheng was not an ordinary person. He was Duan Qirui's think tank. It was obvious that this assassination was a very serious conspiracy, and the target was the Communist Party and the coalition government.

"General Secretary (Chen Duxiu's new position at the Big Four)." Zhou Enlai said with some concern: "This incident will definitely become an excuse for the enemy to launch a counter-revolutionary coup. We must be prepared to fight back. I suggest that workers' pickets be assembled. Stand by, the Peasant Red Guards must be fully mobilized, and—” At this point Zhou Enlai suddenly turned his head to look at the Kuomintang people, and it was obvious that he had just remembered that he was negotiating with the Kuomintang, and some things could not be discussed in front of them of.

"Enlai, you go back to Xishan first, and I will be there soon." Chen Duxiu was also very nervous. This was the first major test for the Communists.After watching Zhou Enlai leave, Chen Duxiu said to Liao Zhongkai: "Mr. Zhongkai, now is a critical moment for the cooperation between the two parties. I hope that your party will continue to support us and jointly meet the challenges."

Liao Zhongkai did not hesitate, but nodded firmly and replied: "We will always stand with your party, General Secretary Chen, please return to the command post, you are needed more there." Then four powerful hands firmly held together.

After sending away the Communists, the Kuomintang delegation immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Luo Yaoguo first suggested: "Mr. Liao, we should first find out what happened outside. By the way, we need to find out where Yang Yuting went." At this time, the noise downstairs had stopped, and it seemed that the crowd had dispersed. Maybe that Xu Shuzheng, who couldn't die any more, was dragged to the hospital to treat the dead as a doctor for the living.However, the impact of this incident has just begun.

"Okay." Liao Zhongkai nodded.Wan Yanhao and Jin Puxin saw Luo Yaoguo's wink and quietly left the meeting room to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Liao, tell Brother Zesheng to go to Baoding to contact Hu Jingyi." Luo Yaoguo didn't care about the secrecy and made another suggestion: "The most important thing now is to have an army in hand, or else it's the meat on the chopping board."

Liao Zhongkai hesitated for a moment and nodded, agreeing to Luo Yaoguo's suggestion: "Zhosheng, you should quickly find a way to meet Hu Jingyi in Baoding." Liao Zhongkai didn't say what to do after the meeting, and the leftists of the Kuomintang also had plans.

Luo Yaoguo thought for a while and then suggested: "It depends on where Yang Yuting and the others go now. If they go to the train station to return to Tianjin, it means there is still time. If he goes to the Japanese legation, then we have to transfer immediately."

"You mean—" After listening to Luo Yaoguo's analysis, Liao Zhongkai shook his head to express his puzzlement.

"If he goes to Tianjin, it means that their power is not dominant in Beijing now, and they will fight from Tianjin. If he stays in Beijing and does not leave, but enters the Japanese legation, it means that they have bought enough in Beijing." Troops, I'm afraid we're about to start. Then we have to move quickly, I've already contacted the US Minister Shulman."

What Luo Yaoguo meant was to go to the US embassy for temporary shelter. If Yang Yuting had bought enough national army generals to attack Beijing, he would not touch the US embassy.

After listening to Luo Yaoguo's suggestion, Liao Zhongkai lowered his head and remained silent.Although he had known for a long time that Feng Yuxiang's army might change, but when this day came, he still couldn't accept it.

"Shouldn't you go to Xishan? It's good to help them out." Liao Zhongkai glanced at Luo Yaoguo, meaning that you, a "famous general" of the Kuomintang, should go forward and retreat with the Communist Party?

"Mr. Liao." Luo Yaoguo shook his head, he didn't want to get into this muddy water: "Even if there are any good suggestions, they won't listen to them now. If they are willing to listen, how could the situation be like this?"

Liao Zhongkai sighed, didn't say anything, but pushed the door out of the conference room and returned to his room.He didn't want to see the bloodshed of the Communists, but he couldn't solve the current predicament.He wanted the Kuomintang army in the south to launch the Northern Expedition to respond to the revolution in the north, but the telegrams he sent always fell into the sea.

Seeing Liao Zhongkai walk away without looking back, Luo Yaoguo didn't think much about immediately discussing the transfer with Zou Lu.Right now, there are no guards around the delegation, only Luo Yaoguo, Wanyanhao, Fanhai and a few others are armed.Therefore, if there is a change, it is impossible to get out. We can only take shelter in the embassy and leave after the situation subsides.But they can't leave now, because the coup has not yet started, and Feng Yuxiang has not lost power.So pack your luggage and wait quietly has become the only option now.

Not long after, Wan Yanhao and Jin Puxin ran back panting.As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Mr. Fu, Yang Yuting, Zhang Qizhen, and Zhao Daiwen have all gone to the Japanese legation. Now martial law has been imposed outside, and the workers' pickets have taken to the street with guns, but even the national army can't see it. The situation It's very wrong, let's go as soon as possible."

"We can't leave until the last moment." Liao Zhongkai did not know when he appeared at the gate of the meeting room, his face was pale and his eyes were red, as if he had just cried a lot: "Let's just wait here, although We can't advance and retreat together, but we can't run away without leaving our friends."

Probably due to the timely adoption of martial law by the Communist Party, until that night, the city of Beijing seemed very peaceful, as if everything was normal, but a little too quiet.Except for Deng Yanda, members of the Kuomintang delegation gathered in the Yingbin Building to wait for news.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Qu Ying from the Communist Party came to the Yingbin Building in a hurry, and there were about a dozen members of the workers' picket team with her.They seem to have come to protect the safety of the delegation.Qu Ying ordered their leader, a coachman in his forties named Xiangzi, to lead people to guard the entrances of the Yingbin Building.Then he ran to Luo Yaoguo's room alone.

"Woo, woo, woo—" Seeing Luo Yaoguo, Qu Ying threw herself into Luo Yaoguo's arms and cried bitterly: "We are going to fail, we are going to fail!" Well, it seemed that she had lost confidence in the revolution.

Luo Yaoguo stroked Xiaoying's beautiful hair and asked softly, "What's the matter? What happened?"

The Kuomintang delegation is now in contact with the General Staff in Guangzhou through the radio, but the news there is not timely, so he does not understand the current situation.

After crying for a while, Qu Ying pulled her head out of Luo Yaoguo's arms, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears and said, "Chahar's side has already started fighting. There are many enemies and fierce firepower. We The troops fought very hard. Moreover, there is also a problem in Beijing now. Feng Yuxiang's national army is not listening to the transfer, and only two regiments still listen to Feng Yuxiang. Now Beijing is defended by workers' pickets, and they all No training, no weapons except some battered rifles."

"Chahar is fighting?" Luo Yaoguo was secretly taken aback, he didn't expect Feng Jun's actions to be so fast: "Your army won't be fighting them head-on, right?"
