Republic of China game

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and said, "That's right. If Jiang Baili agrees to Wu Peifu first, it will be difficult. Yunong, you go and prepare some gifts, how about I visit tomorrow?"

Dai Li smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be too late tomorrow. General Baili heard that you and Wu Peifu are going to recruit him, so he hid back to his hometown Haining."

Uh, is that waiting for Luo Yaoguo and Yang Yunshi to visit the thatched cottage?interesting.Luo Yaoguo smiled, and said again: "Alright then, let's go to Haining to invite him out of the mountain."

……

Jiang Baili is not a soldier at heart, but a scholar.So later generations can call him a military scientist rather than a military strategist.He has only led soldiers for a few months in his life, and he has never commanded a battle, let alone a war.

However, his reputation is indeed very great, because he is a double student of Japanese and German military academies.It is said that the non-commissioned officer in Japan also won the first place and won the saber bestowed by the Emperor of Japan.In Germany, it was also appreciated by Hindenburg and Mao Qi.

In addition, there is another thing that made him famous, that is, he once committed suicide.Or commit suicide in front of all the students in Baoding Military Academy!Uh, it's still suicide!Either they clamored to commit suicide like some generals in the Republic of China period, or they refused to kill no matter what.She really took a pistol and slammed into her heart with a "bang" and almost killed her, but in the end she saved her life and hugged the beauty back. It was Ms. Jiang Zuomei, a Japanese female nurse.

For several years, I lived in seclusion and set up a New Moon Poetry Club with my friends Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi to study literature and art at home and abroad.For Jiang Baili, if he can always indulge in literature and art like this, maybe it would be more appropriate to be a real scholar and poet?However, now that the country is in crisis, how can a military scientist stay out of it, and how can he resist the temptation to go into battle and fight for the country?

When he learned that Wu Peifu would send someone to recruit him, he was already ready to leave the mountain.Unexpectedly, almost at the same time, Luo Yaoguo, the leader of the "young and strong" army of the Kuomintang (that's what Luo Yaoguo was said in the boring tabloids), actually wanted to ask him to plan for it.Now General Jiang Baili is a little troubled, isn't this happiness coming too fast?Who should contribute to it?Therefore, General Baili decided to go back to his hometown and think about it quietly, whether to board the Kuomintang ship or enter Wu Peifu's door?

General Jiang Baili's hometown is Haining, Zhejiang, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River next to Shanghai, which is quiet and beautiful.Back in his hometown, Jiang Baili went back to his dilapidated old house to study behind closed doors. Except for two or three close friends, those gentry and rich merchants from Haining who came to visit, thanked all the guests.It's really a taste of seclusion.

However, Jiang Baili had to see this day's visitor, because he was probably the "Master" that Jiang Baili had been waiting for for a long time.

The visitors were very young, wearing the Kuomintang lieutenant general's uniform, with a few humble smiles on their faces.Beside him was an older lieutenant colonel officer, tall, thin, and very handsome, with some worthless gifts in his hands.

"Junior Luo Yaoguo, I have met Mr. Baili." It was Luo Yaoguo who came, he smiled slightly, and gave Jiang Baili a military salute, saying: "It is really a great fortune to meet a famous senior general who is famous all over the world."

"Please sit down." Jiang Baili smiled slightly and said, "I am famous, but I am not a general. ah!"

"That's because the younger generation has a good chance. It's really not worth mentioning that I can achieve something with a little drive and luck." Luo Yaoguo said with a humble face, "The younger generation was ordered to enter Sichuan this time to pacify the country from the Republic of China. It’s a fertile place that has been chaotic since then. It’s just that the juniors feel that they have little talent and learning, and it’s hard for them to take on big responsibilities. It’s unavoidable that they have failed the Prime Minister’s entrustment and delayed the country’s major affairs. Therefore, they want to invite Mr. Baili to be born, hoping to help me with his great talents.”

Jiang Baili waved his hand and said with a smile: "What great talent do I have? I have studied the progress of your Kuomintang over the years in my spare time, and every step seems to have been carefully planned. Not only did the heroes of the world be counted, but even the great powers They all said, "With such a great talent, do you still need me?"

Chapter 0163 Please Auspicious Lord

An invitation to Mr. Xiangrui was rejected as expected, but Luo Yaoguo did not intend to give up, which was expected.If Jiang Baili didn't put on airs and just followed him away, then there would be a ghost!

After leaving Jiang Baili's house, Luo Yaoguo took his entourage around.Now the Kuomintang has been training politics in Zhejiang for several months.Perhaps it was because the Kuomintang in this time and space had not been thoroughly "transformed", or it might be because the storm of the Great Revolution had not swept across the land of southern China.Anyway, Luo Yaoguo didn't see any appearance of "political training" in Xiashi Town, Haining County and the surrounding villages.Except for groups of children bouncing home from school with schoolbags sewn from coarse cloth.There is not even a shadow of the other Kuomintang rural improvement policies.

Looking at the smoke-filled cottages in the distance, Luo Yaoguo seemed to inadvertently ask, "Yunong, who are the mayors and township chiefs in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions?"

Dai Li was slightly taken aback.But he quickly reacted and replied: "Aren't those gentlemen maintaining it!"

Due to the effect of an irresponsible big butterfly in this time and space, the Kuomintang was in a better situation at the beginning of the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, so it basically ignored "helping workers and peasants".The Kuomintang did not carry out any peasant movement in its ruled area, nor did it allow others to lead the peasants in violent struggles.Naturally, those country gentry did not lose their authority and influence because of the storm of the Great Revolution, and their rule was still unbreakable.

Luo Yaoguo nodded and asked again: "Is the situation in the countryside okay these past few months?"

"It's not too bad." Dai Li replied without hesitation: "After all, there is no war now, and there is no warlord's apportionment collection. The profit of the land is also much higher.”

"That's right." Luo Yaoguo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Rural areas, peasants, agriculture, the three rural issues are the culprits of the Kuomintang. In history, the Kuomintang's rule collapsed because of its inability to solve the three rural issues.The Communist Party also won the support of the vast number of poor and lower-middle peasants because of the Agrarian Revolution, and was able to develop and grow, and finally overthrew the rule of the Kuomintang.It can be said that the failure of the Kuomintang is the failure of their rural policy, and the failure of the Kuomintang's rural policy is actually determined by the nature of the Kuomintang.

If it is said that the Kuomintang does not want to do a good job in the countryside, it is wronging them. At least in this time and space, those high-ranking Kuomintang leaders have formulated a lot of rural policies of various kinds.However, except for a six-year education that was supported by the gentry and was implemented relatively smoothly, other policies that would harm the interests of the landlords and gentry, such as rent reduction and interest reduction, could not be promoted at all, let alone land reform.

There are more than 1000 counties in more than ten southern provinces ruled by the Kuomintang, tens of thousands of townships and towns, and nearly one million villages!And the officials that the Kuomintang can send are only at the county level, and then down to the townships, towns, and villages, basically the original gentry rule. It is simply unrealistic for you to ask them to reduce rent and interest, let alone Not to mention land reform.Moreover, it does not mean that the national government can implement land reform and solve rural problems by sending officials regardless of the cost.Because if the south, which is now ruled by the Kuomintang, wants to carry out land reform, at least hundreds of millions of acres of land must be redistributed!If the government is to pay the price, it is estimated that at least tens of billions of silver dollars will be required!There are also millions of civil servants to handle these things and pay them salaries, which may cost seven or eight billion a year!With the current financial resources of the national government, it is simply impossible to complete it, so the only way to solve the land conflict is probably the Communist Party's agrarian revolution, right?

And if there is an agrarian revolution, how can we raise enough funds and enough energy to develop heavy industry and resist future Japanese invasions?Even now, 100% of the talents who can be used in industry are from the propertied class, and they are all objects to be eliminated!Ha ha, this question is really unsolvable!I wonder how Mao Zedong solved this problem?

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo's body trembled slightly.Sighing, he said to Dai Li: "Let's go, let's go to the guest house of Haining County Government to rest for one night, and we will continue to invite Jiang Baili tomorrow."

……

When they saw Jiang Baili again, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer. Jiang Baili set up a table, two chairs, and a pot of fragrant tea in his yard, entertaining Luo Yaoguo to drink tea and chat.It looks like a pair of father and two are at Lala's house with nothing to do.

Jiang Baili looked at Luo Yaoguo and asked, "General Fuwen, I want to hear your analysis of the situation in the Central Plains."

Taking the teacup on the table, Luo Yaoguo took a sip, and said with a smile: "The situation in the Central Plains is of course a big war is imminent. Presumably, Mr. Baili won't be fooled by Zhang Yuting and Wu Ziyu's peaceful high-profile, right?"

Jiang Baili nodded lightly, and asked again: "Will Wu Ziyu have a chance to make it back?"

"What do you think?" Luo Yaoguo smiled and asked back: "If you plan for Wu Ziyu, what advice would you give him?"

Jiang Baili also smiled and said: "I want to hear about General Fuwen's solution. There is always a solution, right? As the chief of staff, there is always something we can do, right?"

Luo Yaoguo slightly turned the teacup in his hand, and pondered for a while: "Combining with Yan Baichuan and Duan Zhi, and then inviting Feng Yuxiang back to form a major alliance against Feng Yuxiang, there may be a chance, but can Yushuai and Feng Yuxiang reconcile? And joining Feng Yuxiang is tantamount to uniting Oh, can Mr. Duan Zhi, a pro-Japanese faction, agree?"

"Isn't it okay to unite the Kuomintang?" Jiang Baili frowned slightly, and he asked: "If Zhang unifies the north, it may not be good for your development in the south, right?"

Luo Yaoguo's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, why did Jiang Baili become Wu Peifu's lobbyist again?Could it be that he accepted Wu Peifu's offer?

Luo Yaoguo hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Feng Zhang is capable of defeating Wu Ziyu, Duan Zhilao, and Yan Baichuan, but they cannot defeat the Communist Party, so they will not be able to unify the north, nor will they interfere with our development in the south. .”

"The Communist Party?" Jiang Baili felt a little unbelievable, he smiled and said, "Haven't they already been defeated and went to Suiyuan?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and sighed: "The Communist Party has only suffered a temporary setback, and it will soon make a comeback. It is simply unrealistic to completely defeat them, because their power comes from the bottom of Chinese society, the poorest and most desperate thousands of people. Thousands of toiling masses. Only the radical revolutionary policy of the Communist Party can give hope to those people.”

"Your theory is the same as theirs, but wouldn't this society be completely chaotic? Wouldn't it be even more hopeless?" Jiang Baili sighed softly, and said again: "I have seen it in the south in the past few months. Some changes, you fought back the tariffs and many concessions, and started to build heavy industry, isn’t that great? Then they should be able to see hope, right?”

"But in places you haven't seen, the people at the bottom are still living a miserable life in the dark, where the warlords unscrupulously search for the people's fat and anointment, set up clever names, impose taxes, and collect several crops of land taxes a year. In addition to these reactionary The warlords also forced the peasants to plant opium, manufacture drugs, and poisoned their fellow citizens to extract money to raise military expenses for their civil war! If these warlords are not defeated, what hope and future does the country have?" Luo Yaoguo looked at Jiang Baili and said: "Don't you want to join me in defeating them and saving the Li people there?"

Jiang Baili nodded: "I think so. But you can defeat them and pacify Sichuan without me, so what difference does it make if I go or not?"

"I'm going to bring ten divisions into Sichuan this time." Luo Yaoguo looked at Jiang Baili and said slowly, "Would I be able to pacify Sichuan without someone? Is there? Can Sichuan still be pacified? Wouldn’t those reactionary warlords continue to harm the people of Li and continue to hollow out the foundation of the country? I’m afraid that what this country gave to my soldiers is not as good as one percent of what it gave you? General Li, the tuition fees for your stay in Japan and Germany should have included the support of many people from Sichuan!"

Jiang Baili was startled when he heard the words, and thought that Luo Yaoguo's mouth could really fool him!He obviously wanted me to work for him, but he even said that I was going to study abroad with Hua Chuanmin's fat and anointment.But what he said is really reasonable, it seems that he should go to Sichuan.

"Okay!" Jiang Baili laughed and said, "General Fuwen really has extraordinary insights. Fang Zhen will go to Sichuan with you to see if there is anything that can help. Come back and set up the New Moon Club to study literature and art."

"It's a deal!" Luo Yaoguo breathed out lightly.The golden signboard of Xiangrui Gong has finally been obtained.

Chapter 0164 Hero Conference ([-])

On May 1925, 5, the hall of the Yamen of the Governor’s Office in Chengdu, Sichuan was full of guests. Heroes and heroes from all over Sichuan finally made up their minds after receiving the hero post from the "talking general" Yang Sen and Yang Zihui, and tried their best to avoid the Kuomintang reactionaries. The eyes and ears sneaked into Chengdu, came to Yang Sen's supervisory office, and became the guest of honor.

More than a dozen leading figures of the Sichuan warlords sat down around a large round table in the middle of the hall. The table was filled with rare mountain wines, but none of the princes present seemed to have much appetite.A few people sighed softly, they didn't look like heroes, but they were a bit of a bear.

The most dispirited one is Liu Xiang, the commander of the Third Army of the Sichuan Army known as the "Ba Gecko". Chengdu originally said that it was going to be his territory. Who knew that the Kuomintang repented after entering Chongqing and did not continue westward. He went into battle with Yang Sen, but gave him Ba County and Bishan as defense areas. As a result, his small soldiers were called "Ba Gekko" by others. It was really unlucky.

Yang Sen saw that the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic, so he opened his mouth first, and he said with a smile: "Brothers, I, Mr. Yang, invited everyone here today just to find a way for us Sichuanese to survive. What a coward! Now the commander-in-chief of the Beijing government has given orders, and I, Yang Sen, have been appointed to be the military governor, to lead everyone to expel the Kuomintang and turn Sichuan into the world of our Sichuan people!"

"Okay!" A foolish guy shouted: "What the commander-in-chief said is, how can we Sichuan heroes be so angry with these Cantonese people! At worst, let's make a big red mountain, let's talk about it after it's broken, it's really not good Let’s pull the line and take the team out of Sichuan to vote for Zhang Yushuai, it’s better than just sit and wait!”

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was "Yuan Baoer" Yuan Baochu who was speaking. He was the commander of Yang Sen's subordinates. He is just a pawn and cannot represent the majority of reactionary warlords.

Liu Xiang winked at Wang Lingji, the "Lingguan Wang" beside him, telling him to stand up and speak. "Lingguan Wang" is the instructor of the crash course, and both Liu Xiang and Yang Sen would call him teacher.So even if he said something wrong, Yang Sen didn't want to get angry, or else he didn't respect the teacher and value teaching, how could the boss of the crash department fight?

"Wang Lingguan" took a sip of the Xufu Laojiao, stood up, smiled and said: "Our Third Army of the Sichuan Army is no match for you now. There is only a piece of land the size of a palm. No matter how you scrape it, you can't support a soldier. Now all Relying on the subsidies given by the Kuomintang to eat, hehe, it’s a short mouth, so how can I bite back?”

Now if you want to oppose the Kuomintang, Liu Xiang's troops are on the front line. With his more than 1 guns, it will take a few days to carry them. You don't have to wait for Luo Yaoguo's army to arrive. A division of the direct Kuomintang army can also chop him up and throw him into the Yangtze River to feed the fish.
