Text Chapter 213: Everyone supports the Federation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As Zhao Zeyong feared, it is not that easy to get senior members of the Kuomintang to accept federalism.  After reaching an agreement with Zhao Zeyong, Song Ziwen returned to Nanjing and had a verbal battle with the Confucian scholars in Congress. He needed to convince everyone and he needed to gain allies.  In Song Ziwen's view, as long as the elders and other members of the executive committee agree with Zhao Zeyong's idea, then China's immediate implementation of the limited federal system is equivalent to being reasonable and legal, because these elders and other members are nominally and legally  Representing the people.  It is appropriate to let Song Ziwen do these things. Even though he is still young, he is also a veteran of the Kuomintang.  When Sun Yat-sen's revolution had no visible results, his father sent him to Sun Yat-sen's side as his secretary. He worked there for so many years, and his party experience was longer than that of many old guys.  And he was also someone who had been with Sun Yat-sen for a long time, with a very deep background, not to mention the Jiangsu and Zhejiang plutocrats and the British and American forces behind him.  However, Zhao Zeyong did not let Song Ziwen fight alone. He also frequently took action and sent envoys to contact various warlords. If it was suitable for Song Ziwen to lobby those politicians, then it would be more suitable for Zhao Zeyong to persuade the warlords.  It happened that Gu Pinzhen came back, so he simply gave him a mission and asked Gu Pinzhen to lobby Feng Yuxiang.  Gu Pinzhen is a resolute revolutionary with no ambition or selfishness. She has enough prestige within the party and is also a veteran figure.  At the same time, Gu Pinzhen is a relatively simple soldier. Let him deal with the seemingly rough Feng Yuxiang, but he can win the other party's trust.  Ask Cen Chunxuan to take the trouble to go to Shanxi. He once served as an official in Shanxi for a long time and did a lot of good things for Shanxi people. He founded Shanxi University. His prestige in Shanxi still exists, and there are also some old people.  The relationship can be used, so it is appropriate for him to talk to Yan Xishan.  At least Yan Xishan, an old man, did not dare to deceive Cen Chunxuan, an old bureaucrat.  Because I did too much to save my face and it¡¯s hard to explain.  In addition to Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, among the great warlords in China, there is another one worth winning over, and that is Zhang Xueliang from the Northeast.  After Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing, Zhang Xueliang went through various struggles, including killing veterans of the Northeast Army, and finally frightened the thoughtful officers, gained a foothold in the Northeast Army, and became a veritable young marshal.  It can be seen that this person still has the ability and means.  Enterprising.  It's a pity that he seems to be too timid, more bookish, and less reckless like his father. Otherwise, he could have ignored his father's revenge and handed over the Northeast to the Japanese. In fact, regardless of his status as a warlord, Zhang Xueliang and his father  Zhang Zuolin has a pretty good relationship and should be regarded as a filial son.  Who should be sent to contact Zhang Xueliang? Zhao Zeyong sent Li Zongren.  In the United Provincial Army, Li Zongren had contact with Zhang Xueliang, but it was not a good contact. Li Zongren beat Zhang Xueliang away in Zhengzhou.  But isn¡¯t there an old saying in China that if you don¡¯t fight, you won¡¯t get to know each other, so it¡¯s appropriate for Li Zongren to go.  In fact, the most critical thing is Li Zongren's character among the officers in the United Provinces.  He is a rare person with strong political and military abilities.  Historically, he could be the leader of the Gui clan, while Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong could only be the second eldest.  This shows that he is outstanding, at least he is quite good at understanding people.  Of course, Zhao Zeyong sent Li Zongren to the Northeast not because Li Zongren had shown force in front of Zhang Xueliang and asked him to scare Zhang Xueliang, but because Li Zongren had the ability to make his defeated generals settle their old grudges with him. I believe Zhang Xueliang would be more accepting if he went there.  .  Of course, sending an officer to the Northeast has implicit military implications, which Zhang Xueliang had to consider.  After all, before the Northern Expedition, he was on the opposite side of the current Nanjing government. Now that the entire world is nominally ruled by the Nanjing government, Zhang Xueliang has to think carefully about how to deal with the Northeast. Historically, it is very unfortunate that they did not choose to separate the Northeast as their own king.  If you are wise, you probably won't do anything stupid now.  Sure enough, the Northeast he went to last was the first to report good news. Li Zongren was a soldier. He chose the style of a soldier and did not beat around the bush with Zhang Xueliang. Of course, if he wanted to play tricks, Li Zongren would do it, otherwise Zhao Zeyong would not send him.  Li Zongren went straight to the point and stated Zhao Zeyong's federalism vision, saying that Zhao Zeyong hoped that Northeast China would join the federation, but considering the Northeast's special position of being isolated from the main body of China for a long time, Northeast China should be allowed to maintain a considerable degree of autonomy.  The powers of Northeastern autonomy include taxation power, judicial power, and even military power. For the time being, what has to be paid is only nominal sovereignty.  That is to say, the Northeast needs to renounce its independence and obey the leadership of the Nanjing government, which means that Zhang Xueliang needs to change his banner.  But he also pointed out that this is only a stop-gap measure. Ultimately, Northeast China must be completely integrated into the country's main body of government, and its privileges must be abolished sooner or later. The reason why Northeast China is allowed to maintain a certain degree of autonomy is because it takes into account the reality of seeking truth from facts, but it guarantees that the five  Northeast China's independent status will not be affected during this year.  ??Then there is Feng Yuxiang. Gu Pinzhen is actually not as thick and thin as Feng Yuxiang in terms of Wanxinsi.Under Xiang's deception, Gu Pinzhen believed that Feng Yuxiang was indeed very hard-working.  The northwest is poor. Henan and Hebei without Beijing and Tianjin are not rich provinces. There is only one Shandong, which is barely enough. But at this time, it was divided piece by piece. Both sides of the Qingdao and Jiaoji railways were guarded by Japanese soldiers.  On both sides of the Pudong-Pujiang Railway were Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, and even Jinan was under the control of the Central Army. The Northwest Army could only control some remote areas. Even Sun Liangcheng's office could only be in Texas and not in Jinan.  Zhao Zeyong understood through the telegram Gu Pinzhen sent back to Zhao Zeyong that Gu Pinzhen was no better than Feng Yuxiang and would definitely suffer.  But the old man said that suffering is a blessing.  Now we have to suffer a loss, otherwise how could we lure a short-sighted guy like Feng Yuxiang to take the bait.  So Zhao Zeyong called back to express his understanding of the difficulties of the Northwest Army, and at the same time promised to provide the Northeast Army with an annual aid of 10 million within five years, and not to siphon off any taxes from the area controlled by the Northwest Army.  As the saying goes, please put yourself in an urn. Once you are in an urn, it will not be too late to deal with you slowly.  Feng Yuxiang learned that he could get 10 million for free every year, and he was not like Jiang Jieshi who wanted to take away his tax power. Of course, he could also divide the government reasonably and legally. As for Zhao Zeyong, he said that sooner or later, he would take back the power of autonomy, and five  The central government will begin to implement centralization measures in the next year, but Feng Yuxiang selectively ignores them.  Huh, without strength, it's hard to take over anyone's power, but this guy sees things through.  But Yan Xishan has been reluctant to express his position, even though Cen Chunxuan has given him many guarantees.  His current status will be high rather than low, and the benefits he will receive will be more or less. However, this guy does not express his position. He only entertains him with good food and drinks, but does not discuss federal issues with Cen Chunxuan.  Cen Chunxuan is not in a hurry. They are all old foxes, and no one will lose to the other in the competition of patience.  Zhao Zeyong understands people like Yan Xishan. If you don¡¯t see a rabbit, you won¡¯t fly. If you see a rabbit, you won¡¯t necessarily fly. This kind of person is the most annoying.  However, it is precisely because Yan Xishan is this kind of person that he was able to sit firmly in Shanxi during the Yuan Shikai period, the Beiyang period, and the Nanjing period, and was known as the roly-poly.  But it is precisely because he is this kind of person that he will never have the opportunity to go further and will die of old age in Shanxi.  A person who is not decisive cannot accomplish anything great.     All right.  Before Yan Xishan could take action, Zhao Zeyong took action first.  A high-profile call for all walks of life in China to unite and organize a new government as soon as possible, a democratic government.  This call was made as early as a month ago when he held a meeting in Wuhan.  It's an old talk again, but as for the Federation, it's not mentioned at all.  "If Zhao Zeyong didn't mention it, someone would naturally mention it. Song Ziwen jointly proposed it with more than a dozen elders in Nanjing.  To realize the legacy of former Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen and establish a federal government in China.  Zhao Zeyong pretended to support it, and then Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang successively sent calls to support federalism.  For a time, a momentum was created in China for everyone to support the federation.  The only suspense now is who will come out to form this federal government.  Of course, Zhao Zeyong will not refuse this opportunity, which means that he can rule China, which means that his power will finally reach its peak fifteen years after coming to this world.  Who can refuse the temptation of power? Compared with some warlords, Zhao Zeyong can be said to be very indifferent to fame and fortune, but he has transformed and transformed into a political figure.  For a politician, power is his soul. Have you ever seen those veteran cadres who were high-spirited and energetic when they were in office? Once they retire, they suddenly seem to be old. Politicians who have lost their power are equivalent to losing their souls.  "If he didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power, would Zhao Zeyong have to conspire with Song Ziwen? Would he have to go to all the trouble to hook up with the warlords?  "After I come to power, I will eradicate all stubborn diseases, corruption, corruption, barbarism, dictatorship, go to hell. I will be able to benefit the motherland, and I feel honored that I can contribute to the prosperity of the motherland. Maybe I am the only one  Coming to power myself is the luckiest thing for this country. If the country needs me to give up power one day, I will not hesitate and will not be greedy. I am the only one who can do this. Jiang Jingshi can't do it, Wang Jingwei can't do it, and the social environment of the Republic of China  No one who grew up under this situation can do it. I am the only one who is most suitable." Zhao Zeyong thought so, and no one was sure whether his idea was to find a reason for himself to seek national weapons.  But one question is, who can guarantee that Zhao Zeyong will get this opportunity, and who can make Zhao Zeyong ascend to the throne in Nanjing.  You must know that Song Ziwen can win over a group of congressmen to support the federation, but it is impossible to convince all congressmen, or even to win over the majority of congressmen to support the federation.  Without the support of the majority of congressmen, Zhao Zeyong will not be able to smoothly come to power.  Of course, he can use force. Anyway, now that Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and even Zhang Xueliang are supporting him, it seems that it will not be difficult to use force.  But if Zhao Zeyong wants to passIf Zhao Zeyong came to power by force, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.  It is so easy to raise troops into Nanjing. The Allied Provincial Army does not need many, one hundred thousand is enough.  But this is really not what Zhao Zeyong wants. Regardless of whether he has any small thoughts, he recognizes the civilized way. He feels it is a shame that he came to power violently.  He recognized the glorious revolution like the British.  Moreover, what he wants to establish is a democratic regime, and he has no selfish motives at all.  To establish a democratic regime through force?  This is really ironic.  In order to build this federation, Zhao Zeyong sent Li Zongren to the northeast and Gu Pinzhen to the northwest. But his most capable general, Wang Chongyang, who was the most spiritual and capable in political activities and conspiracy, Zhao Zeyong naturally could not use or waste this talent.  Wang Chongyang is the right candidate to deal with those old congressmen and politicians in Nanjing.  Zhao Zeyong would not simply believe that Song Ziwen¡¯s idealism could convince those old bureaucrats who had been in officialdom for most of their lives, so it was Song Ziwen in name, but Wang Chongyang was the one who really played the role behind the scenes.  But Wang Chongyang did not take action immediately. Instead, he watched coldly in the dark as Song Ziwen ran for the Federation, running into obstacles time and time again, in vain.  It was not until Zhao Zeyong issued a call and Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang announced their support that Wang Chongyang began to take action.  Because Wang Chongyang needed an opportunity, this opportunity was created by Zhao Zeyong. Powerful figures in the country all supported the federation's momentum, and he wanted to take advantage of the general trend to carry out his big plans.  After many years of experience, Wang Chongyang has become well versed in the ways of strategizing. The so-called strategy is not to push forward by force, but to take advantage of the situation.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
