Cicada Moving

Chapter 758 The Aftertaste (2)

  January 1, 1937.

Jinling is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, the streets are full of people celebrating the Gregorian New Year, and even red lanterns are hung outside the courtyard of the Secret Service.

 In a peaceful atmosphere, Zuo Zhong and Teacher Jianyi sat in the director's office, drinking tea and discussing work.

“Shen Zhi, is there anything unusual happening there? This matter must not go wrong. As you know, the leader attaches great importance to the young marshal.”

Lao Dai put the tea cup on the coffee table, turned his head and said something, his eyes glanced at the disciple who was only half sitting down and smiled slightly.

It is comfortable to deal with smart people. Of course, Zuo Zhong is not the only one of his confidants in the secret service, but he is the most sensible one.

If other people were appreciated by the leader, their tails would have been raised to the sky, and they would not respect themselves as much as before.

 How you do it is not important.

 What matters is attitude.

 Besides, after Zuo Zhong heard Lao Dai's instructions, he immediately leaned forward and respectfully reported the situation and his arrangements.

“Teacher, we have not restricted the young marshal’s movements these days. Except that he cannot leave Jinling, everything is done according to his wishes.

In addition to playing cards and ball, eating and sleeping at Minister Song's residence every day, he spends the rest of his time wandering around in a car.

 When traveling, there were two guard cars accompanying us, one from the police department and one from us. A total of 8 guards carrying short guns were responsible for protection.

According to students' observations, the young marshal did not show any fear. He ate when he needed to, slept when he needed to, and played when he needed to. He was very calm. "

 At this point, Zuo Zhong hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, I heard that there was a fierce quarrel among the senior officials on how to handle this matter.

Some people think that the government should keep its promise and let Zhang go back, while others think that the tiger should not be let go and the young commander should be punished.

I don’t know what the Chairman’s opinion is. In addition, if our Secret Service needs to do some auxiliary work, please tell me clearly. "

  “No need.”

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and gave the answer with a sinister look on his face: "Zhang will definitely not be able to leave. If he is not dealt with, where will the dignity of the government be.

Even though his wife and people from all walks of life have repeatedly interceded for him, the leader has made up his mind and must use Zhang to warn those who have ulterior motives.

The specific solution is to set up a temporary military court, with Li Liexun as the presiding judge, and conduct a closed trial of the young marshal.

 And just today, the Chairman of the Generalissimo appointed Li Liexun as the second-level Army General. You should know what this arrangement means.

 Okay, it’s enough for our people to do surveillance work, and others will do the other work. Now there are many people who want to kill Zhang. "

He sneered as he spoke. Others didn’t know that Minister He might be dreaming that the young marshal would die immediately.

Who were the organizers of the Chang'an military remonstrance is currently a mystery, but He's reaction was so quick, which is indeed very suspicious.

Once the young marshal reveals his accomplices, no matter how senior or successful that person is, no one can escape the responsibility they bear.

 “Okay, teacher.”

Zuo Zhong pretended to suddenly realize it, but in his heart he was filled with contempt for the bald man's dishonesty, and he even sneered at the bald man's despicable methods.

 Li Liexun is a veteran figure within the Kuomintang. He participated in the Revolution of 1911, the Second Revolution, the War to Protect the Law and the Northern Expedition.

It does have a lot of prestige among the government and the military. At the same time, it is a staunch advocate of war against Japan. It advocates united resistance against Japan and unified resistance to aggression.

So Bald Tou asked Li Liexun to try the young marshal. At first glance, it seemed very fair and even beneficial to the young marshal. However, this was not the case.

Baldhead’s intentions are not unscrupulous. Yes, Li Liexun was anti-Japanese, but he also opposed the military remonstrance campaign launched by the Northeast Army.

After the Chang'an Incident broke out, this person sent a message to publicly reprimand the young marshal. The words he used were extremely violent and could be said to be very unpleasant.

　　Why should I be a son if my father's revenge is not avenged and it leads to civil strife?

 Repaying kindness with vengeance and threatening the commander-in-chief, how can one become a general?

 Cause all countries are in an uproar and look sideways, wondering why they are human beings.

 In short, Li Liexun's thoughts were very stubborn. As an old man who had lived through the feudal era, he still retained the pedantic thoughts of loyalty to the emperor in his heart.

He believes that the commander-in-chief should listen to him in everything. Even if he knows that the commander-in-chief is wrong, he can only give advice but cannot use force to coerce him.

Even if the bald man made countless mistakes, if the young commander launched military remonstrance, it would be treason, and he should be severely punished by national laws and military regulations.

More interestingly, according to the requirements of the national government and the Military Commission for military trials, the military rank of the presiding judge must not be lower than the military rank of the defendant.

  In other words, Li Liejun, the second-level general, was picked up for nothing, otherwise he might not be able to get a gold star in a few years.

For the so-called face of the bald man, the civil service system that was finally implemented was destroyed. Is it worth it? Maybe it is worth it.

Zuo Zhong went through a lot of information in his mind, and suddenly wanted to understand one thing, and that was why the young marshal insisted on coming to Jinling.

 Some people think this is naive,

 Some people think this is stupid.

These views are wrong. The young commander who can clear out the older generation of forces in the Northeast Army and become the new commander-in-chief is naturally indispensable.

He came to Jinling this time for only one thing - to safeguard the dignity of the government and Baldhead, and to prevent the country from falling back into a state of division and separatism.

 Since the demise of the previous dynasty, domestic warlords have been at war for a long time. After the establishment of the national government, the overall situation was stabilized, and many warlords still remained semi-independent. Assuming that he, the culprit who imprisoned Baldhead, was not dealt with, what would those audacious warlords think?

 Is it possible that if there is a conflict between the local government and the central government in the future, mutiny can be used to threaten the central government and the bald head?

 There is no need to bear any responsibility anyway,

  Isn’t it?

The young marshal must have already known that if he followed the bald man to Aurous Hill, he might have to spend the rest of his life in an endless prison.

 But for the sake of the country and the nation, he still chose to take this path. Zuo Zhong sighed secretly and asked Dai Chunfeng again.

 “Teacher, those other people.”

Dai Chunfeng understood who Zuo Chong was referring to, so he leaned back on his chair and said with a half-smile: "Shen Zhong is talking about He Jingzhi, haha.

He formed a rebel army and attacked the rebels with great momentum, causing the leader to almost die in Chang'an. His behavior was extremely bad.

Let me test you, how do you think the chairman of the committee will deal with this person? I can safely say that this is a discussion between you and me, master and disciple.

   Remind you that Minister He has been going to Qilu every day in the past few days to ask for an audience with the leader, but he has been refused. There are rumors that his ministerial position is in danger. "

 Test yourself,

 How to dispose of it?

Zuo Zhong was a little confused, and then an idea flashed in his mind. Instead of answering Dai Chunfeng's question directly, he told an allusion.

“Teacher, in the past Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had a fellow villager named Yong Chi. When Liu Bang was in decline, Yong Chi looked down on Liu Bang very much and humiliated him at every turn.

Since Yong Chi was a powerful man in Peixian County and very powerful, although Gaozu hated him with itch, he had no choice but to let him go.

In 209 BC, Liu Bang launched an army against the Qin Dynasty. He led three thousand of his disciples to capture Pei County and called himself Pei Gong. He held a large number of troops and was later granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an.

Just when the outside world thought that the powerful Liu Bang would teach Yong Chi a lesson, Liu Bang not only failed to avenge his personal revenge, but instead took him under his command.

And sent him to garrison the Fengyi camp. As a result, Yongchi had no idea of ​​gratitude. As soon as the Wei people came to recruit him, he immediately rebelled.

This man offered Fengyi with both hands, and in turn guarded Fengyi for Wei. Within a few years, Liu Bang became bigger and bigger, and Yongchi surrendered again.

Such a capricious villain, he actually made many military exploits, so that Gaozu, who was in urgent need of people, could only pinch his nose and use them. "

 “Hahaha, be careful,”

Dai Chunfeng laughed heartily after hearing this, and patted the coffee table with his right hand: "You have already mastered the samadhi of officialdom, you are really a formidable person.

 Let me tell you next, after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang conferred more than 20 meritorious titles in Chang'an, and the rest of the people talked a lot.

One day, Liu Bang saw many soldiers whispering, so he asked Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, what they were talking about. Zhang Liang said that they were obviously plotting rebellion.

Emperor Gaozu was extremely surprised and asked why the soldiers wanted to rebel now that the world was settled. Was it because they were dissatisfied with themselves?

 Zhang Liang shook his head and said that you were originally a commoner, and it was these people who helped you conquer the world, but the first people you granted were those you liked.

 Now the court is still counting merits. Not only are they afraid that you will not reward me, but they are also worried that you will pursue your previous mistakes, so they gather together to rebel.

Gaozu was shocked again and quickly asked Liu Hou how to deal with this matter. Liu Hou only said that you can reward Yong's teeth.

Liu Bang then hosted a banquet for the ministers and granted Yongchi the title of Marquis of Shifang on the spot. He also urged the prime minister to quickly determine the merits so that the titles could be divided as soon as possible.

When everyone saw this, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and they sighed repeatedly that even Yong Chi could be made a marquis, so what do they have to worry about.

At this point, the situation of the Western Han Dynasty was stable and a strong foundation was laid. This kind of power strategy of "treating enemies kindly and strengthening the hearts of the people" was often imitated by later generations.

 Therefore, the chairman of the committee will not do anything to the person named He, and will even give him a high position to calm the hearts of the people in the country. "

 “The leader is wise.”

Zuo Zhong pretended to admire him, but in fact he disapproved of him. Relying on tactics and tricks could only achieve temporary benefits but not long-term benefits.

 The prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty was not due to Liu Bang's small tricks, but because of frivolous corvee and low taxes, and due to recuperation and inaction.

As for the current National Government, it wants to kill the national capitalists and farmers, even if the emperor is still alive, it will be in vain.

It’s 1937, and it won’t be long before the Japanese launch a full-scale invasion of China. The whole party is still fighting for power and profit.

 When North China is lost, East China is lost, Central Plains is lost, and South China is lost, these insects may not realize the seriousness of the matter.

By then it will be too late. Beiping, Songhu, and Jinling will lose battles one after another, and countless people will die in the flames of war.

Damn it,

What a bunch of pig teammates.

Zuo Zhong felt that it was time to deploy backup forces in the cities that were about to fall. At least the personnel and equipment should be well hidden, which would work wonders in wartime.

After pondering secretly for a while, he stood up and said goodbye to Lao Dai, preparing to summon all his old subordinates to discuss the corresponding arrangements.

Let’s get into the plot of the Anti-Japanese War. Today I flew to the Northwest. I got to the hotel and have been writing until now. Then I went to eat.
