    At the beginning, the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army were just doing small business. As Yan Xishan's monitoring of Datong became weaker and weaker, they gradually became bolder. In the past, they had to go through the intermediary of Shanxi merchants, but later they started to contact the Datong Party directly.  , slowly making a lot of money.  Unknowingly, Yan Xishan's two major supports, the Shanxi merchants and the military officer corps, were tied to the financial chariot of the Datong Party without knowing it. Even he himself did not have that awareness, because he himself was also involved in this economic and trade situation.  I made a lot of money from it.  On the surface, the economy in the Shanxi-Suiyuan region is booming, and everyone from top to bottom has gained unimaginable wealth. However, once the Datong Party withdraws from it, this prosperous economy will collapse in an instant, plunging the Shanxi-Suiyuan Clan into an abyss.  But before that, the Datong Party still needs to rely on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Clan to recruit more workers and talents into the Northwest Soviet Area.  At the beginning, the Datong Party spent money to buy idle workers from Yan Xishan. Later, when workers in Shanxi heard that the working environment and income were better at the Datong Party, some of them quietly went to the Northwest Soviet Area.  Although Yan Xishan was very unhappy about this, there was nothing the Datong Party could do about it, because this was a spontaneous action by the workers. Not only did the Datong Party never interfere with it, but they kept spending money to buy people from him.  In addition to workers, the demand for intellectuals is also increasing day by day, especially the new intellectuals from Peking University and Tsinghua University. After the underground intelligence station of the Datong Party was re-established, a major task of the Peking Station was to transport patriotic intellectuals to the northwest Soviet area.  Peiping is thousands of miles away from the Northwest Soviet Area. When secret transfers are usually carried out, some omissions and losses will inevitably occur. Now that the Datong Party has extended its tentacles into Shanxi, it has immediately shortened the transfer distance for patriotic intellectuals. All the Peking Station needs to do is find a way to transfer the personnel  Send it to Shanxi, and the rest of the journey will be smooth.  While the strength of the Northwest Soviet Area continued to expand, Yan Xishan was also actively expanding his army and preparing for war.  On the one hand, it is to cope with the upcoming all-out war between China and Japan, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the Datong Party.  Just when he thought his strength was no longer what it used to be, news of the merger of the Datong Party and the Northeast Army came, which shocked him for a moment and made him restless.  As one of the neighbors of the Northeast Army, Yan Xishan is always on guard against Zhang Xueliang. The intelligence department has always been very concerned about the situation of the Northeast Army.  As early as the end of the Battle of Wuqi Town last year, the song "On the Songhua River" completely disrupted the morale of the Northeast Army. At that time, Yan Xishan was so happy that he couldn't help clapping his hands.  You must know that since the Datong Party was driven out of western Jiangxi, he has been paying attention to the Central Army's subsequent encirclement and suppression of the Datong Party. At the same time, he also noticed that the Central Army drove the Datong Party everywhere.  At the same time, the local warlords were disintegrated and digested, and the Hunan and Guizhou cliques were destroyed in this way.  When the Datong Party was driven to the northwest region, Yan Xishan was once afraid that the Datong Party would invade his territory. When the Chairman wanted to come in to suppress the bandits, it would be a troublesome question whether he should be allowed in or not.  Fortunately, after entering Wuqi Town, the Datong Party burst into new vitality like a phoenix rising from the ashes.  A beautiful battle of annihilation was fought, leaving all forces unable to figure out what was going on.  What¡¯s even better is that after the battle of Wuqi Town, the song "On the Songhua River" was sung, and the psychological attack method can be described as ruthless.  Just one song completely destroyed the morale of the Northeastern Army and gave them a short respite.  After the chaos in the Northeast Army, Yan Xishan no longer worried about them entering his territory in the name of suppressing bandits, but he still paid close attention to the situation of the Northeast Army.  What happened next was exactly as he expected.  Splits began to appear within the Northeastern Army. There were many conflicts between the young faction and the veteran faction, and eventually internal fighting broke out.  Even Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army, unfortunately died in this conflict.  Seeing that the Northeast Army was about to fall apart, Yan Xishan was planning to annex part of the Northeast Army troops. Unexpectedly, the Datong Party intervened at this time. Not only did it single-handedly reverse the trend of the Northeast Army's disintegration, it also established an alliance with Zhang Xueliang to form a new Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.  , with bold words to fight back to the Northeast and expel the invaders.  Faced with the "Declaration to Complaints to Compatriots across the Country to Resist Japan" jointly issued by the Datong Party and the Northeastern Army, Yan Xishan is now on pins and needles, because in the statement, in addition to calling on all forces across the country to stop the civil war and fight unitedly, the Volunteer Army actually borrowed from his Shanxi-Sui Army.  Dao, hoping to use Dao Jinsui to fight back to the Northeast.  Although Yan Xishan had been very close to the Datong Party during this period, it was only limited to business cooperation. He really did not expect that the Datong Party would want to borrow help from him at this time. There was no sign ahead.  Without even thinking about it, Yan Xishan directly felt that this was the Datong Party trying to force him to go to the palace. In a sense, the "Declaration to the Compatriots in the Country to Resist Japan" was also a kind of alliance letter, calling on everyone to join Datong.  The party established the anti-Japanese united front.  ? ?? Normally, when the Datong Party proposes such an alliance slogan, everyone will only regard it as a joke, because the Datong Party is too weak, so weak that almost no warlord can take it seriously. It is simply a dream to lead the anti-Japanese united front with such a weak posture.  .  But now, the Datong Party is no longer what it used to be. It has occupied the four northwest provinces in less than a year. It has hundreds of thousands of troops in its hands, all of whom are veterans of hundreds of battles. Its combat effectiveness is second to none. This has been demonstrated to the world in the Northwest Encirclement and Suppression Campaign.  Absolutely overwhelming strength.  The current Datong Party not only has the largest military strength in the country, but also has an extremely good economic foundation. Yan Xishan is fully aware of this. Since the Datong Party entered Shanxi and Suizhou, the economy of Jinsui has grown at an almost rapid rate.  I envy all the forces around me.  With money, people and organization, facing such a behemoth, Yan Xishan's pressure is much greater than that of Chang Kaishen who is far away in Jiangnan.  Although Yan Xishan¡¯s military strength has more than doubled during this period, he still does not have much confidence when facing the newly formed Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. The more he understands the current strength of the Datong Party, the less he wants to conflict with the Datong Party head-on.  But there are some conflicts that he cannot avoid if he wants to. Now the Datong Party bluntly borrows a road from him, and it is in the name of resisting Japan. Should he borrow this road or not?  Instinctively, Yan Xishan did not want to borrow the road. A fool also knew that Liu Bei borrowed money from Jingzhou and never repaid it. When the troops of the Datong Party entered Shanxi, they should not be driven out in the future. As for the ability of the Datong Party to take root, he  But I understand it very well.  But if he refuses, he doesn¡¯t know if the Datong Party will take other actions against him, just like it did against the Northeast Army.  Although the Datong Party now holds high the anti-Japanese banner and seems to be China's only conscience, from his own perspective, Yan Xishan simply does not believe that there is no ulterior motives in the merger of the Northeast Army into the Datong Party.  You must know that "On the Songhua River" that initially disrupted the morale of the Northeast Army came from the Datong Party. A song could spread so quickly. No one was behind the scenes, and even if he were killed, he wouldn't believe it.  Since the source of the chaos in the Northeastern Army came from the Datong Party, is it possible that the culprit that ultimately led to the near disintegration of the Northeastern Army was the Datong Party? Yan Xishan thinks it is very likely.  Looking at the events before and after the Northeast Army merged into the Datong Party, we can basically find the presence of the Datong Party. Yan Xishan does not believe that the merger of the two armies will be as harmonious as it appears on the surface. The truth should be that the Datong Party merged the Northeast Army, not the Northeast Army.  The two armies established an alliance.  Considering this, Yan Xishan was even more afraid to give the Datong Party an excuse. The Jinsui Army was a family fortune he had worked hard to build for decades, how could he be willing to hand it over to others.  Therefore, when faced with the "Declaration to Compatriots across the Country to Resist Japan" issued by the Datong Party, Yan Xishan chose silence like most people. What surprised him was that the Datong Party, which had always actively persuaded him to join the anti-Japanese united front, did not this time  Someone was sent to ask why he remained silent. Such an uncharacteristic situation made him worried that the Datong Party was preparing another conspiracy.  Just after the "Declaration" was released, underground parties across the country organized large or small anti-Japanese demonstrations, and continued to expand after the "Double Ten Massacre" occurred, sweeping almost half of China.  Faced with such a high anti-Japanese sentiment among the people, Yan Xishan couldn't help but feel afraid. If these students and workers were completely in trouble, life for warlords like them would not be easy.  But what surprised him was that while anti-Japanese demonstrations were held across the country, only his province of Shanxi and Suizhou was calm without any disturbance.  Logically speaking, the Datong Party is all over the Jinsui area and should be the most violent, but now it is calm as if nothing happened, which makes Yan Xishan even more uneasy, always feeling like he is being plotted against.  At this time, he could not go directly to Xi Zhongxun, the person in charge of the Datong Party in Taiyuan. This Datong Party member is now more and more like a businessman. Not only does he wear gold and silver like a nouveau riche, but he is also more interested in jade, jade, antique calligraphy and painting, etc.  The more you understand, the more you don¡¯t know, you think it¡¯s a rich man who came out of nowhere, and no one believes him when he says he¡¯s from the Datong Party.  In addition to his daily work, Xi Zhongxun visited every house, just like a celebrity in the countryside, and often kept in touch with Shanxi businessmen.  At first, Yan Xishan sent people to monitor him for a period of time. Later, he found out that Xi Zhongxun only talked about some business dealings and romantic nights, and almost did not involve any political issues. He was relieved for the time being, but he still paid attention to Xi Zhongxun from time to time.  Xun's contacts with Shanxi merchants.  Before the "Declaration" came out, Yan Xishan also liked to contact his fellow countryman and explore the tone of the Datong Party. However, after remaining silent, he never took the initiative to see Xi Zhongxun. He was mainly afraid of Xi Zhongxun asking.  Why did he remain silent.    Originally, he thought that after choosing silence, Xi Zhongxun would come to him on behalf of the Datong Party, but he did not expect that the Datong Party would also play silence like him. If you don¡¯t come to me, I won¡¯t go to you. Watch the end.  Who can't keep calm?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
