Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 602 The arrival of the great emperor

Tang Qiuli knew the mission and arduousness of this westward journey to Shaanxi and Gansu. In the eyes of the Communist Party, he was probably the largest new warlord in China besides Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party had fought bloody battles for ten years and had deep grievances.

The ideals and political ambitions of the Communist Party of China will never be willing to be inferior to others. Once given the opportunity, this is a terrifying force that contains huge energy. In any case, the purpose of this trip is to find an ally, and

It's not about making enemies.

Looking through the "Plan on the Reorganization of the Kuomintang Red Army" drawn up by the senior advisers of the Military Commission, it turns out that, as history has said, the Kuomintang Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the Kuomintang Red Army. The commander-in-chief was Zhu De, the former commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Red Army, and the deputy commander-in-chief.

For Peng Dehuai, he had jurisdiction over three divisions and six brigades, which was a famous one in history.

The 15th Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division were the basic team of millions of troops in the future. The plan also stipulated that commanders at the division commander and brigade commander levels need to submit to the Military Commission for approval, regiment level and regiment level

The following officers can be appointed by the Eighth Route Army on their own, and they can be reported to the Military Commission for record.

The national government is responsible for supplying the equipment and supplies of the three divisions, and the designated future combat area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is exactly the North China area, within the jurisdiction of its own Yellow River Basin War Zone. Tang Qiuli shook his head as he looked at it. The old man was a little a bit a bit confused.

Xiaojiazi is angry. After all, it is the largest opposition party. It only gives such a small establishment, which is obviously restricting the development of the country.

The abacus is good, but you can't limit it. As long as they leave northern Shaanxi, tens of thousands of people will turn into hundreds of thousands in less than a year. There is a fundamental conflict here,**

The country's development area is in North China, and it must compete with itself for troops and material resources. This is also one of Chairman Chiang's ruthless measures to free the Communist Party.

Tang Qiuli was troubled when he thought of this. The overall resources in the war zone were only so few. It was impossible to avoid conflicts. After all, the country wanted to develop. He had no very good way to avoid these things from happening. He could only go smoothly.

Its natural.

That night, Tang Qiuli did not sleep well. A force that would gain political power in the future was about to enter the stage of history. It would not only change the strategic pattern of North China, but would also have far-reaching consequences. He had to consider many aspects.

.

In the morning, he held a meeting. At the meeting, Tang Qiuli decided to form an advance team, led by Mei Ting, with Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, as his deputy, to rush to northern Shaanxi in advance to act as a front for himself, and also to contact the government first.

I want to contact her, so as not to suddenly go to northern Shaanxi with my status like this. It seems a bit abrupt. There is no more suitable candidate for this matter than Mei Ting. Her status is there, the wife of the Vice Chairman, a resounding gold-lettered signboard.

And I still have to stay in Nanjing for a few days. Since the attack was a move used by Chairman Chiang to deal with me, the government will naturally be responsible for all the expenses. I am not stupid enough to pay for it out of my own pocket.

Going empty-handed is obviously a lack of sincerity and writing a bad check. Tang Qiuli knows the efficiency of certain departments of the government, especially when it comes to pocket money. It's hard to say when it will be done if he doesn't keep an eye on it.

Mei Ting and Shen Jun left Nanjing that day, returned to the army, and organized an advance team. In the next few days, Tang Qiuli rushed between various departments of the government to implement all the equipment and supplies allocated to the army one by one.

Thanks to his personal supervision, various departments did not dare to argue. Soon, everything needed was prepared and shipped to Xi'an in advance.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief and sent a telegram from Mei Ting, who had arrived in northern Shaanxi, saying that everything was going well. After preliminary negotiations with the leaders of the Communist Party of China, a basic agreement had been reached. All walks of life in Yan'an welcome Vice Chairman Tang to visit at any time. Tang Qiuli

I couldn't help but admire, "Mei Ting did a beautiful job."

The general national defense mobilization meeting in Nanjing is also coming to an end. After a few days of turmoil, a basic agreement was signed. All princes have more or less contributed some blood. Chairman Chiang is quite satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. This can be seen from the cheerful expression on his face.

, it can be seen that on the same day, the Executive Yuan issued an appointment letter appointing Shandong local police

Li Honggang, commander of the Shaanxi Garrison Command, is appointed as chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, with full authority to manage the government affairs of the entire province. Yuan Jinghao, commander of the Shaanxi Garrison Command, is appointed as chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, with full authority to manage the government affairs of Shaanxi Province. Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Yellow River Basin Theater Command

The commander-in-chief Tang Qiuli is also the chairman of the Henan Provincial Government.

The appointment of the Executive Yuan means that the territory in Shaanxi and Henan provinces that Yan Xishan coveted, and the territory in Shandong Province that Li Zongren is concerned about, have officially fallen into the hands of Tang Qiuli. In addition, Li Zongren and Yan Xishan are extremely worried.

Depressing things, Military Commission

The committee issued an order to cancel the Xuzhou Theater, and the Gui Army and Sichuan Army were transferred south to the Songhu area. The Shanxi Provincial Government was chaired by Feng Jiwu, deputy commander of the ** Division and commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps. Yan Xishan was in charge of military affairs and was appointed as the Yellow River Basin

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Theater.

Tang Qiuli was not happy about the appointment of Feng Jiwu as Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government. This was obviously another move by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to provoke a confrontation between Yan Xishan and himself, and to pass Yan Xishan's anger onto himself. If

If hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are not dealt with, an empty-minded provincial government chairman will be of no use.

Yan Xishan, who regarded Shanxi as his private property, would not be willing to give up the territory he had worked hard for many years so easily. Tang Qiuli was secretly worried. Yan Xishan was making small moves, and he was distracted. The old man's move

He was so sinister that he immediately telegraphed Feng Jiwu and resolutely resigned from the appointment as chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government. The reason was very good. In the tense confrontation with the Japanese army and frequent wars, he was unable to perform his duties as chairman.

Tang Qiuli was just making a gesture to Yan Xishan to reassure him that this was not his intention. At the same time, he also told Chairman Jiang that I know your intentions and will not be fooled. Although Tang Qiuli dreamed of taking Shanxi,

However, this kind of moment is by no means the best time. After finally resolving Chairman Chiang's move, everything in Nanjing has been completed. You can leave here tomorrow to complete the mission of the imperial envoy.

The night before leaving, Dai Li suddenly arrived. As usual, he covered his head with a hat and his face with a coat, hiding his whereabouts. When he saw Tang Qiuli, Dai Li's gratitude could not be expressed in words. He was already with Chairman Chiang.

, knowing everything, his dream will come true. This deep and ruthless spy leader can't help but be a little over-excited.

Vowing to repay the Vice Chairman's love, Tang Qiuli only told him that this was the result of your own efforts, Brother Yu Nong. Qiu Li did not dare to take the credit for himself. However, in the future, if there was information from the Japanese, he hoped that **

The teacher could also get a share, which made Dai Li feel relieved. He originally thought that Tang Qiuli was going to make some harsh demands, but the result was beyond his expectation.

On February 20th, Tang Qiuli and his party took a special plane to leave Nanjing and rushed to Dingbian. His itinerary was to go to Dingbian first and then go to Yan'an from Dingbian. The distance was very short and safety was guaranteed. Furthermore, it was very easy.

I haven’t visited my parents and father-in-law for a long time. This can be regarded as a balance between business and private matters.

Dingbian has undergone greater changes than the last time he came back, which makes Tang Qiuli extremely satisfied. The city has developed rapidly in a virtuous cycle and has become the economic pillar of the army, especially various military and industrial enterprises.

The development of the army has played a decisive role in improving the equipment of the army. Wang Xu's equipment research institute has moved from Huangyadong to Dingbian.

He could only stay in Dingbian for one day. He used this day to convene a joint meeting attended by the heads of the departments of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and the guard area. At the meeting, in addition to listening to reports from each department, he handed over to the guard

An important task in the district is to form a reserve force of more than 100,000 people in Dingbian within one year. They will undergo strict training. Instructors can be sent from the field troops and Dingbian Military Academy. After one year, the army will be formed and formally incorporated into the ** division.

Sequence, this is a hard indicator.

After the meeting, it was already evening, and he took the time to visit his father-in-law's family. Later, at home, he had a delicious meal of authentic Northeastern style food cooked by his mother. Mei Xue, this girl, did not leave him even an inch, and followed him back home.

Maybe his mother saw the clues. Faced with his mother's probing eyes, Tang Qiuli had no time to explain. Thinking that he would leave tomorrow and not knowing when he would come back, he secretly sighed at the misfortune of his life and felt a little melancholy in his heart.

On February 22nd, Tang Qiuli left Dingbian and rushed to Yan'an via Wuqi. He was accompanied by more than a thousand guards and attachés, and the long motorcade was huge. Originally, he did not want to create such a scene.

, but this was Chairman Chiang's request, saying that it was to show his respect for the Communist Party. In Tang Qiuli's view, it contained more elements of demonstration and showing off.

The convoy passed the security guard, and many slogans could be seen along the way, all welcoming them. It seemed that ** had put a lot of effort into this aspect. Probably, in this place in northern Shaanxi, cars had never been seen before.

What was it? Wherever we passed, the people in the villages and towns along the way looked like they were looking at a Western scene. They walked along the road to watch the excitement. Tang Qiuli's luxurious lineup became a topic that the local people still talked about many years later.

The convoy entered the city of Yan'an, which surprised Tang Qiuli, who was deeply influenced by later history. Yan'an at this time was far from the prosperity it would have been a few years later, let alone the Red City, the holy land of Japanese people and passionate young people.

It is a place of worship where young people from all over the country flock here like a tide, seeking the truth of resisting Japan and saving the nation.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yan'an was a frontier fortress. It was an important military town to prevent the cavalry from going south from the Mongolian Plateau. After the Ming Dynasty, it gradually declined. The city is small, covering an area of ​​several miles, with only a thousand households, cave dwellings and cave dwellings under the loess cliffs.

The streets are lined with tile-roofed houses. The main street is bumpy and bumpy. There are nearly a hundred shops on both sides of the street, and the business is dull.

Although it took more than a year of operation and recovery, the extremely thin family background and lack of financial resources have not fundamentally changed the appearance of Yan'an. However, Tang Qiuli still stood out from the crowd of people beating gongs and drums and lined the streets to welcome him.

I saw the difference.
