Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

Three days later, Jing Yuzhou was transferred to Mount Li, so it would be inconvenient to tell Mu Bingci what happened to Xingyuan.Mu Bingci was thinking about how to get into Lishan, and Yang Yuan came to his door.

Yang Yuanting said directly: "Regarding the alliance between your two armies, the superior gave me instructions and agreed to accept the southern army under your command to join forces to fight against Japan. There is no basis for saying it. You must participate in our operation this time to count as two. The military is officially allied."

Mu Bingci guessed that it was related to what Jing Yuzhou said, so Shunying asked, "What action?"

Yang Yuandao: "Admonishment." He fixed his eyes on Mu Bingci, staring fiercely at the slight expression on Mu Bingci's face, and deliberately slowed down his speech speed to test. "Three days later, Mr. Jiang Chengbo, chairman of the national government, will come to Xi'an to discuss the alliance treaty with our army leaders. Our army has set up defenses and will put Mr. Jiang under house arrest to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations."

Mu Bing said in his heart that this was the purpose of Jing Yuzhou's transfer to Lishan, why Yang Yuan's cronies had to be used.But he asked in his mouth: "Since Mr. Jiang is here to discuss cooperation, why do you need military advice? Isn't this destroying the cooperation between the two militaries?"

Yang Yuandao: "Although Mr. Jiang said that he came to form an alliance this time, it was because of the trend of domestic voices and the pressure of public opinion from all sides. If Mr. Jiang is not sincere, the alliance will not be successful. In addition, the two armies cooperate, but only one side can issue orders. Our army is worried that Mr. Jiang will be uncertain and his attitude will waver repeatedly. These two factors will affect the final combat effectiveness. In order to avoid defeat, we The army must ensure that Mr. Jiang is sincere, and he will not go back on his word."

Mu Bing remarked that the allied forces were worried that Jiang Chengbo would cheat the alliance and seize the opportunity to seize the leading military power, or used this as an excuse to lure out the allied forces and wipe them out.However, a few days ago, I clearly heard Yang Yuan say that the surnamed Jiang would not survive the next year, and the plan of the Allied Army should be to avoid future troubles forever. How can he, Mu Bingci, be exonerated from the crime of treason against the government?Having been charged with this crime, the Southern Army would have no way out from the Nationalist Government. Even if the League would not get the Central Army, the Southern Army would still be in its pocket.

This is a move that kills two birds with one stone.

Mu Bingci sneered in his heart.Is this when he is stupid?

If Jiang Chengbo was captured, how could the Central Army ignore it?Jiang Chengyan will definitely lead his troops to attack the northwest. At that time, he is afraid that the allied forces will not succeed in stealing chickens, and instead will provoke a chaotic war with the central army.In this way, it will only benefit the Japanese forces who are watching from the sidelines.The Confederate move was simply stupid.

But right now, Mu Bingci had to agree.If Yang Yuan's request is rejected, then the false alliance will not be implemented, and Yang Yuan will become wary of him, cutting off his chance to rescue Jiang Chengbo.In fact, Jiang Chengbo's life and death had nothing to do with Mu Bingci, not to mention that Jiang's family led Mu's Northern Expedition, which made Mu pay the price of family ruin and death.But Mu Bingci knows in his heart that Jiang Chengbo's life is still valuable in the current domestic situation.

It has to be said that Jiang Chengbo did have governance skills. In just a few years, he won the support of various forces, making the Nanjing government more stable than when Tan Feng was in power.What's more, Jiang Chengyan assisted in governing the army and incorporated Tan Feng's central army for his own use. Not only did he not encounter obstacles, he even mobilized the positive outlook of the central army.If Jiang Chengbo was killed in the Central District of the Tongmenghui, the Central Army and the Tongmenghui would fight with each other, and the Japanese side would have been watching them for a long time, taking advantage of the time.With Mu Bingci's vengeance at the head, Jiang Chengbo's life still needs to be protected.

Seeing that he was silent, Yang Yuan said with a faint smile on his face: "If Commander Mu needs to think about it, you still have two days. But I have shown you my sincerity. If Commander Mu refuses to form an alliance, you are afraid that the city of Xi'an will I can't get out."

Mu Bingci didn't know what Yang Yuan meant.He confided the whole strategy of the Tongmenghui. If the so-called alliance cannot be won, it is time to kill people and silence them. How could it be possible to let the tiger go back to the mountain.From Yang Yuan's point of view, Mu Bingci had no right to make his own decision, so he had to be forced to agree.Mu Bingci said that this is fine, as he has his own intentions in getting involved in the Lishan operation.

Three days later, Jiang Chengbo's special plane arrived in Xi'an.Jiang Chengyan, the highest military officer of the Nanjing government, accompanied him, and he brought no more than a hundred guards on this trip.Sun Bicheng, the top leader of the Tongmenghui, came to greet him at the airport, led Jiang Chengbo and his party into Lishan Xingyuan, and set the meeting place here.

A formal parliament is scheduled for five days later.

It was severe cold in the northwest at the beginning of January, and the mountain wind was as violent as a tiger roaring.Before dawn, several houses in Xingyuan were lit up one after another.Jiang Chengyan had just woken up, the warm carbon in the room drove away the bone-biting cold, he was only wearing close-fitting single clothes, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing in the door, and someone quietly entered the room.Jiang Chengyan was cleaning his hands on the wooden shelf, without turning his head, he asked, "How is it, have you seen Bingci?"

The person who came was Lu Chaosheng from the Blue Shirts Club.He closed the door casually and walked over to Jiang Chengyan. "No. Mr. Mu is not in Xingyuan, nor is Yang Yuan, the leader of the Allied Army. Mr. Mu may have returned to Beiping, and it may not be as the spies said—" Lu Chaosheng paused, "The Alliance has instigated rebellion. "

Jiang Chengyan hung the hand towel on the wooden shelf, and said in a waned way: "If Bingci turns against me, I have a way to save his life. But if he falls into the hands of the League, it will be fine when they can use him, and when they run out of use , so what? No one is kind and kind for the sake of the supreme power in the country."

Lu Chaosheng pondered: "Yang Yuan and the others wanted to seize the right to lead the army, but they didn't dare to fight head-on with the Central Army, so they wanted to use the guise of joining forces to fight against the Japanese to lure Mr. Mu's Southern Army to attack the Central Army. They would take advantage of the fisherman. If so If the plan fails, the Allied Army will not suffer any losses, but the Mu family and the Central Army will either lose both, or we will lose the huge wing of the Southern Army, and our military strength will be greatly weakened."

Jiang Chengyan sneered: "The alliance will have a good plan. Sun Bicheng is used to selling miserably, shouting slogans in major newspapers every day, and labeling himself as a righteous and lonely hero. Look at who are the people who responded to his call? These people are real mobs, whose only belief is to take advantage of others and enjoy privileges. They don't think about it, since they are involved in this muddy water of fighting for power and profit, where is the so-called justice and what is for the people? Isn't it all about insane selfish desires to seek fortune? On this point, my eldest brother is like this, and so is Sun Bicheng."

Lu Chaosheng heard him criticize Jiang Chengbo directly, knowing that he did not agree with the trip to Xi'an, and it was indeed a risk.It's just that Jiang Chengbo insisted on going his own way, which made Jiang Chengyan very passive.He couldn't help saying: "Mr. Chairman is indeed too careless when he came to Xi'an this time. But the matter has come to this point, we must be vigilant at all times, and we must not put Mr. Chairman in danger."

Jiang Chengyan shook his head and sighed, and snorted coldly: "He wants to put himself in a dangerous situation, how can I manage it? Knowing that Sun Bicheng is going to deal with him, he packed himself up and sent him up. The front ordered me to suppress the Allied Army three times." , to the point of death, now that he wants to discuss cooperation with the Allied Forces, what does he think of me? I am that vicious dog who can't be restrained, and I am the victim of his ups and downs. Even if I have the heart to fulfill his hegemony, this The wind direction of the grass on the wall will force me to cut off the arm of the southern army sooner or later. Bing Ci is becoming more and more unstable in this situation. This time, if Bing Ci is really moved by Yang Yuan in the Xi'an talks, send a message to your people immediately Give it to him, just say it's my idea, let him stand on his own in Peiping. This is his best way out."

Lu Chaosheng naturally knew that Jiang Chengyan and Jiang Chengbo had more than one quarrel about whether to come to Xi'an or not.According to Jiang Chengyan's plan, continue to encircle and suppress the Tongmenghui, and the civil strife can be quelled within two years.Take the opportunity to equip the strength of the government army, and strive to recuperate before going to war with Japan.Originally, Jiang Chengbo had always followed this line of thinking. However, the voices of the domestic people became louder and they called for unanimity to the outside world. In the past two years, Jiang Chengbo was very worried and began to care about his reputation.

The more you are at the peak of power, the more frightened you are, and you are afraid of climbing high and falling seriously.No one can afford such a failure, and Jiang Chengbo is no exception.Therefore, he turned around and pretended to be magnanimous, and frequently showed his goodwill to the League. All the sewage from the previous strict death order was poured on the top military officer Jiang Chengyan.It was Jiang Chengyan who was eager to consolidate his position, it was Jiang Chengyan who ruled out dissidents, and Jiang Chengyan recited all the notorious things.

Jiang Chengyan expected such a thing to happen, when the ten-year period should have come, the crimes he had borne when he left office, but now he was covered with stickiness.

If it's just like this, it's fine, look at Jiang Chengbo's every move, and when he wins over the Tongmenghui, he will smear Jiang Chengyan in black.If Jiang Chengyan cared about the so-called reputation, as Fan Xilin said before, longing for the reputation of the official history books, then he could only cling to Jiang Chengbo and try to clean up his crimes, and he would be firmly in Jiang Chengbo's hands throughout his life.Why isn't this sculpting of the human heart uncanny?

For Jiang Chengyan, he doesn't care about official recognition.But it's one thing not to care, but it's another thing not to let Jiang Chengbo risk his life.No matter how bad Jiang Chengbo is, the current domestic situation cannot withstand repeated changes of generals by one side.Regardless of the strong enemy surrounding them, the two forces bit each other's hairs. The Japanese took advantage of this opportunity to open fire.Jiang Chengbo wants to talk to Sun Bicheng, let him go.Just don't send your life here.

Jiang Chengyan said: "Brother, in order to show the sincerity of this meeting, the Central Army did not move at all. This is used to paralyze Sun Bicheng. Yang Yuan also knows that if there is chaos in Xi'an, the only one who can save the fire is the Southern Army on the border defense of Beiping. Instigate rebellion Bing Ci is a time-saving and labor-saving method. Chao Sheng, you inform your secret stake. If there is any change in Lishan, immediately send a telegram to order the No.17 Army from Hubei to attack Shaanxi. People like Sun Bicheng and Yang Yuan all care about Xinde Good reputation, this crime of provoking civil war, I see if they dare to take it!"

Lu Chaosheng responded: "The third master's plan must be effective. I'm afraid Sun Bicheng and others have also considered this point. If they instigated Mr. Mu and let the Southern Army fight against the [-]th Route Army, the crime of civil war will be dismissed." On Mr. Mu. Moreover, Sun Bicheng will still criticize in the newspapers, saying that it is because of the national government's ineffective governance and harsh subordinates that it forced the southern army to turn against them. Isn't that also helping the people of the Tongmenghui?"

Jiang Chengyan nodded: "That's why we must pay attention to Bing Ci's movements. We must not let him be used by the Tongmenghui to cheer for their efforts."

A few days later, Jiang Chengbo and Sun Bicheng had formal talks in Lishan. The two sides were in dispute over the leadership of the two armies.The meeting was discussed for two days, but they broke up unhappy and had to be postponed to the third day.It seems that if there is no result of the negotiation, both parties are not ready to give up.

In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind, and Jiang Chengbo hadn't rested yet, and was losing his temper in the house.He patted the table and scolded: "What is that muddy leg of Sun Bicheng? I have more people than him, and the gun is more advanced than him. What foundation does he have to dare to fight for the leadership? If it weren't for the workers and students who were deceived by his remarks , Protest again and again, I will definitely overturn his lair, and come here to be angry with him!"

Jiang Chengyan sat in a chair, calmly listening to Jiang Chengbo's scolding all night, gently tapped the circle of the chair with one hand, stared at the corner of the room divergently, and did not focus on listening to Jiang Chengbo's words .

Tired of scolding, Jiang Chengbo stopped to drink water, glared at Jiang Chengyan and said, "Chengyan, I've been talking for a long time, and you also have an opinion. It's meaningless to talk about it like this. That shameless Sun Bicheng is unprecedented. You Tell me, is it even more worthwhile for us to encircle and suppress by force?"

Jiang Chengyan withdrew his gaze, smiled at Jiang Chengbo, and said, "Brother always makes up his own mind, so why ask my opinion? This regime is yours. If you say peace talks, you can talk about peace. If you say fight, I will fight." .The problem now is that you don’t want to talk about it anymore, so we need to go back to Nanjing first to make plans. Now that you are in Sun Bicheng’s territory, you really don’t want to pick this time.”

Jiang Chengbo waved his hands irritably, and said, "Talk about it for another day tomorrow, if it still doesn't work, I'll leave now."

Jiang Chengyan thought, then Sun Bicheng is willing to let you go.There was no trace on his face: "Listen to brother."

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of people outside Xingyuan, followed by gunshots.The sound of hurried footsteps and shouts was mixed immediately, and someone from Jiang Chengbo's guards in the atrium shouted: "Quick! Escort the chairman down the mountain!" Then there was another burst of random shooting.

Jiang Chengbo's expression changed, and he was about to speak when the door was pushed open.Lu Chaosheng came in with a gust of wind, and said to Jiang Chengyan: "Third Master! The Allied Army has come in! Withdraw quickly!"

Just now, Jiang Chengyan's lazy expression suddenly subsided, his whole body was as tense as an arrow, his eyes were full of light, he got up to meet Lu Chaosheng and asked, "Is there any news about Bingci?"

Before Lu Chaosheng could answer, a rush of gunshots came from behind along with the cold wind.When one person strode into Jiang Chengbo's hall first, a familiar voice said arrogantly: "Why is Commander Jiang inquiring about me?"

Jiang Chengbo hastily turned his head and saw that it was Mu Bingci who came.

Jiang Chengyan blocked Jiang Chengbo behind him with one hand, faced the row of gunshots behind Mu Bingci, and faced Mu Bingci's elder.
