Chapter 278: Disagreement

The specific internal information of this trade conference was not known to the outside world, because no written records were left at that time. Naturally, it would not enter any historical text in writing.

But some meticulous scholars still found a few words from the vast pile of information, which recorded sensational obscure words, narrating the dark side of a past history.

The unknown gray area is a huge shadow over everyone's heads. Between the lines, it's all about money, power, war and killing.

In order to create a stable and harmonious internal social system, these greedy capital merchants chose a smooth road paved with corpses and wreckage.

The militarization of the national economy is underway quietly, the production of merchant ships has begun to stop, and the production of civilian vehicles is the same. Everyone is gathering their working capital and preparing to participate in a new round of financial wars.

Following the already formulated steps, all members of the Hualian Trade Promotion Association began to closely unite under the auspices of Liu Haoran. The gathering of sand forms a tower and the land is a mountain. The huge amount of funds gathered will be used to purchase iron ore, scrap steel and grain from all over the world.

Especially in the United States, this emerging industrial overlord, although lagging behind traditional Western powers in cutting-edge technology fields, it has suffocating strength in industrial production capacity.

Especially in the two major areas of steel production and food production, overcapacity has put the United States in an extremely difficult situation. Once the economic crisis breaks out in full swing, they may not hesitate to accept any order.

Moreover, Hualian is not the original Red Gate organization in time and space, and did not launch a cruel and bloody massacre on ordinary students on June 4th of a certain year, so it will not cause collective hatred in the Western world, nor will there be any technology blockade of such so-called cultural discrimination.

On the marble-paved stairs, people rolled in their heads, just at the entrance outside the door, the Canglong flag was flying in the wind, and the cold dragon head symbol exuded a cold will.

On June 4, 1928, Zhang Zuolin, the king of Northeast China, died in a conspiracy to assassinate when he retreated outside the pass.

In order to decide the cause of the Northern Expedition and turn around to sort out internal conflicts, Jiang Ruiyuan was eager to discuss the unification process with Zhang Hanqing. Even if it was nominal ownership, it was OK. The ** government no longer had the potential to continue fighting, not to mention that the three northeastern provinces are currently Japan's sphere of influence, which is not easy to touch.

Throughout the summer and autumn, the top leaders of the Northeast Army and the ** Army were dealing with this. They had to withstand the pressure from the great powers, especially the political interference from Japan and the Soviet Union, and the likely military invasion that followed.

After that, Jiang Ruiyuan and Zhang Hanqing even sent letters frequently, and the messengers kept sending messages. Jiang understood and sympathized with Zhang. Young Master Zhang also began to consider finding a backer. He knew that he was not a political player, so he planned to play with others first.

In the winter of 1928, the Nanjing National Government sent Zhang Qun, Wu Tiecheng and Song Dazhang to Shenyang to discuss the great cause of "changing flags in the Northeast" with Zhang Hanqing.

After Zhang, Wu and Song stayed at the Bank of Communications, the "pro-Japanese faction" wanted to take sabotage actions and detain them. After urgent consultation, it was decided that Wu and Song would go straight to the young marshal's mansion overnight to meet Zhang Xueliang.

During the secret talks that night, both sides were "heart-to-heart" and the three big fools explained some of Zhang Hanqing's doubts and strengthened his determination to "change flags in the Northeast".

Zhang Shaoshang's emotional intelligence is OK, but his political IQ is really bad. He could not control some arrogant soldiers and generals at this time, so he had to go with the flow and half-supported to board the pirate ship of the ** Army.

Jiang Ruiyuan is also a good person, taking advantage of the conflicts between the United States, Britain and Japan to push the United States and Britain to put pressure on Japan. With the support of the ** government, public opinion against Japan's division of China has also risen.

By November, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka had to admit that the change of flags in the Northeast was "China's internal affairs."

Later, Jiang Ruiyuan told Hu Ruoyu, the representative of Zhang Hanqing to Nanjing, that in order not to make Zhang Hanqing embarrassed, the Northeast diplomacy was handled by the central government, and agreed that the "internal affairs" of the Northeast were still responsible for the current staff and would not be changed. Major personnel matters, Zhang Hanqing first requested the commission and then appointed by the central government.

In order to stabilize these Northeastern men, Jiang Ruiyuan was helpless. In his already embarrassed fiscal budget, he allowed 10 million yuan of military salary to the Feng army every month.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Instead of letting these guys "reliance on their own", it is better to use this little money to buy the other party's logistics system.

Only after mastering the supply can one truly master an army. Jiang Ruiyuan, who has been well versed in the way of the ruler for many years, has such confidence. As long as you operate well in supply, differentiate and win over, suppress and eliminate it, it will be a natural thing.

This 10 million grant is not so easy to obtain.

During the "Double Tenth Festival" in 1928, Zhang Hanqing held a grand military parade in Beidaying to test and show his military strength.

During the military parade, he wore a new army dress, a French flat-top military cap, a knife belt woven with gold silk on his waist and a gift knife. The hilt and scabbard were inlaid with gold flowers, drooping golden silk slits, and his heroic hair and radiant spirit. He was indeed a rare beauty.

In December, Zhang Hanqing once again accelerated the pace of changing flags. On December 5, he arrested Tao Shangming, who was responsible for handling negotiations with Japan, and Zhao Xinbo, a pro-Japanese backbone, fled to Dalian.

On the 26th, the Political Conference of the ** Party Central Committee decided to appoint Zhang Hanqing as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces, and passed the list of members of the three eastern provinces and Rehe Provincial Governments, which will be published after the flag is changed.

On December 29, 1928, Zhang Hanqing, as the supreme commander of the Fengtian Army, issued a telegram to the world on this day, resolutely announced that he would "according to the Three Principles of the People and obey the ** government", and changed the red, yellow, blue, black and five-color flags of the former Beijing government to the blue sky and white sun flags of the Nanjing National Government in the northeast, and announced that he would support the political actions of the National Government. This was the "Northeast Change of Banners" that shocked China and the foreign countries.

On December 29th, the flag-changing ceremony was held in the Fengtian Provincial Government Auditorium in a fierce and cold wind. Zhang Hanqing was wearing a dark yellow Zhongshan suit, and the oath committee member Fang Benren was wearing a long robe and amid the warm military music, everyone bowed three times to the party flag and the Premier's portrait.

After Fang Benren read the will, he immediately took the position of oath supervisor and was awarded the title of the Chief and Deputy Commander of the Northeast and the Minister of the Committee and the Minister of the Northeast Committee. The Chief and Deputy Commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the Chairman of the Four Provincial Governments of Fengji Heire were raised to recite the oath with the members of the following members.

Fang Benren delivered a speech on behalf of the ** government: "Today, the oath ceremony will be held for the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the members of the four provincial governments of Fengji Heire. This is a successful and the national unification can be commemorated."

Afterwards, Zhang Hanqing gave an answer. After the speech, Zhang Hanqing delivered an impromptu speech. In order to make it look better, he pretended to be a country and the people: "Why did we change our banner? In fact, we followed the practice of an advanced country. At first, a certain side also controlled the power of warlords, hindered the central government's rule, and the country became weak. Later, warlords realized and returned the major policies to the central government and became prosperous and strong. Today, we don't want to divide the power of the central government and return the power to the central government in order to seek true unity of China."

After the meeting, Zhang Hanqing issued a telegram to the whole country, and the telegram said: "We should rely on the will of the Grand Marshal of the Elderly, strive to unify and implement peace. We have announced from now on that we will abide by the Three Principles of the People, obey the National Government, and change the flag."

On the same day, the Nanjing Government of ** responded to Zhang Hanqing and others: "Complete unification, defend border defense, and work together to achieve the prosperity of ** freedom and equality, and have high hopes."

After the opponent's play was finished, tears also flowed, and the two conveniently started a substantial political transaction.

Two days later, the Nanjing ** government officially approved the appointment of Zhang Hanqing as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin as the deputy commander.

Not only that, a large number of original bureaucrats of the Fengtian Army were appointed, with nominal political power belonging to the central government, but in fact, they still maintained de facto local separatism.

Zhai Wenxuan and eleven others were members of the Fengtian Provincial Government, Zhai Wenxuan as chairman. Zhang Zuoxiang and eleven others were members of the Jilin Provincial Government, Zhang Zuoxiang as chairman. Chang Yinhuai and eleven others were members of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government, and Chang Yinhuai as chairman. Tang Yulin and Jin Dingchen and six others were members of the Rehe Provincial Government, and Tang Yulin as chairman.

These familiar names still stayed in their previous positions, and there was no sign of moving their butts. Jiang Ruiyuan also knew that Zhang Hanqing could not make any decision in this matter. These people called him the Young Marshal, and he was the Young Marshal. If the interests of these people were violated, the playboy would probably die tomorrow under the "Japanese aggravation".

At this time, tens of thousands of red flags made secretly in advance were fluttering in the wind in Fengtian City, and five-color red flags of yellow, blue, white and black fell down. National flags were hung in various agencies, schools, shops, and residences, and several soldiers with one hundred people were each holding a national flag and patrolling the city.

At this point, the work of changing flags and changing flags in various parts of the three northeastern provinces was basically over, and the government of ** achieved formal unity. From then on, the work of changing flags and changing flags was basically over. In all parts of the three northeastern provinces, the red, yellow, blue, white and black five-color flags of the Republic of China period were lowered, and the government of ** achieved formal unity.

Japan actually didn't care much about this so-called unification at this time. The fundamental reason for their interests in China was the economic circle established in the Manchuria and Mongolia region.

As long as they still enjoy complete privileges within this range, they do not care about the changes in China's political situation. Jiang Ruiyuan also understands this mentality, so he dares to do such a thing. Even if something goes wrong, the victory or defeat will only affect the Fengtian army and have nothing to do with the ** army.

The political changes that occurred in northern China also involved the hearts of the people in the south. The Fengtian Army also joined the party membership of the ** Party. In name, the only groups that were separated from this political circle were Hualian and Hongmen.

Hongmen is still rioting, big-name players, and fighting everywhere. Although it is very annoying, Jiang Ruiyuan doesn't really care much about this group of traitors now.

His eyes began to look at the terrifyingly silent Hualian. The terrifying mark of the original remains deep in his heart. He was actually not willing to touch such an opponent. Even his adviser Yang Yongtai believed that Hualian should be put to the last place to deal with it.

Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is now at the peak of the royal aura. The ** government has chosen the capital in this wealthy place, approaching the most important grain-producing area in Jiangnan. With the prosperous economy and far away from the peeping of the northern powers, it does have the capital to fight for the world.

The talented and stubborn Jiang Ruiyuan does have the aura of a master. His superb political skills, talents and vision are both outstanding, but he only lacks courage.

A tall figure appeared in the middle of the open hall door. His footsteps were steady, and his boots hit the marble floor made a rhythmic and dull sound, immediately pressing over the chaotic "buzzing" sound of people talking to each other in the hall.

The sunlight shone diagonally from the window at the end of the corridor, forming a strong and dazzling white halo on the back of the visitor's body, making his whole appearance look more majestic.

This is not a pretending gesture, but a non-conscious thing about Jiang Ruiyuan, which is entirely due to the strong aura emitted by nature. This is the instinct that only a person with the highest power will naturally emerge when he looks down on the world and looks down on all living beings.

"Yunnong, can there be an echo in the southeast?" Jiang Ruiyuan looked at a gentle and handsome young man. Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to imagine that this person was Dai Li, the intelligence leader with a gloomy temperament. As the first person under Jiang Ruiyuan's subordinate in charge of spy work, he had a frightening power within the party and the country.

Dai Li, who looked calm, shook his head and then replied: "The committee member has no result in the discussion, and the other party is unwilling to accept any form of unity."

In order to complete the cause of national reunification and maintain a generally stable social environment, Jiang Ruiyuan had to choose the fastest way to achieve results. This is actually the joint provincial autonomy advocated by Chen Jiongming and Tang Jiyao, at least first breaking away from the military field in terms of conflict modes.

After all, political disputes will not kill people. At present, China can no longer continue to consume internally. As the ruler of the entire country, Jiang Ruiyuan deeply felt the emptiness of the treasury and the lack of national strength.

"Chengqing, what do you think about this?" Jiang Ruiyuan looked at Yang Yongtai who was standing aside calmly, wearing a pair of far-framed glasses, and his elegant aura naturally revealed, making people feel good.

Yang Yongtai is Jiang Ruiyuan's chief think tank. When he was just starting out, he discussed the general trend of the world and offered a brilliant plan to "reduce the vassal state" for Jiang Ruiyuan's "three-part world", and was happy that Jiang Ruiyuan danced and sang.

As long as the measures are taken appropriately and this plan is appointed, China can be nominally unified in less than three years.

Yang Yongtai, who lived in Shanghai, saw very clearly the "great trend of the world". He saw that after the successful Northern Expedition, although Jiang Ruiyuan pacified the Beiyang warlords, there were many factions within the party, especially the powerful local factions, which was no different from the local warlords back then.

It is obvious that the powerful factions of Yan, Feng and Gui were obstacles to Jiang Ruiyuan's monopoly of the central government's power. Yang Yongtai cited the feudal emperors in history to cut off the power of the vassal states to strengthen centralization and concluded that there was only one way to solve the problem "reduce the vassal states".

What Yang Yongtai saw was expressing Jiang Ruiyuan's concerns. When Xiong Shihui persuaded him to enter the shogunate, Yang Yongtai asked Xiong to convey his trick to "reducing the vassal state" to Chiang Kai-shek.

At this point, Jiang Ruiyuan began to strictly follow this strategic model and carry out specific implementation work. This first step has been achieved. With his contemplation of people's hearts and measurement of the current situation, the ** government finally forced the landing of the Fengtian army trapped outside the pass.

The Northeast changed its flag, and the ** army, which regarded itself as the central government, solved this problem by spending a little money and a few appointment letters, without having to consume a lot of energy to carry out conquests and battles.

With such brilliant achievements, Jiang Ruiyuan was even more convinced of Yang Yongtai's plan to reduce the power of power.

Yang Yongtai received strict old-style education since childhood and systematic Western education. He graduated from the Beijing Law and Political College. He also studied in Japan, so he "has both good at literature and affairs, and is good at martial arts. He understands legislation and is also good at administration." He has been observing "big affairs in the world" for a long time.

When recalling the past, both of them were very moved. Yang Yongtai had the wisdom of Kong Ming, but he failed to meet a wise master. He wasted his talent and wasted half of his life.

Jiang Ruiyuan is actually a former strategist, and now the leader of the human race, his status changes, and many strategic details. He no longer has much spare time to ponder one by one. He urgently needs a strategist with vision and strategy.

Then there was the fateful encounter between the two, and the beginning of the wise ruler and the wise minister always brought unforgettable memories.

In the first match with Jiang Ruiyuan, he had already published his own grand sketch:

"Commander-in-Chief Jiang, in my opinion, today, Li Jishen is bound by two lakes. Bai Chongxi has incorporated three armies of Tang Shengzhi's remnants, dominating one side, and having one of the three parts of the world. If they collude with Feng and Yan, Nanjing will not be able to gain a foothold. Fortunately, the political enemy of the Guangdong clan Yu Zuobai can destroy Li Jishen's platform, and Tang Shengzhi can also take back the remnants to force Bai Chongxi to resign and bribe Feng Yuxiang's generals Han Fuju and Shi Yousan, so it will be difficult for Li Jishen and Bai Chongxi to disintegrate. If Chen Mingshu and Chen Jitang are bribed to tie the tiger and detain Li Jishen in Changsha, then the one part of the southern clan can become the three parts of the commander-in-chief."

Yang Yongtai summarized his "reducing the vassal states" as: using economic methods to dismantle Feng Yuxiang's second army, using political methods to solve Yan Xishan's third army, using military methods to solve Li Jishen's fourth army, and using diplomatic methods to deal with Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army.

A few words made Jiang Ruiyuan's heart brighter. His most troublesome way to deal with the problem of warlords in various places was revealed by Yang Yongtai in several words.

However, when dealing with Hualian matters, Jiang Ruiyuan encountered unsolvable resistance. Even the resourceful Yang Yongtai just smiled bitterly and said that the strategy was not omnipotent.

"Commissioner, Hualian is different from other forces, and their development model is hard to understand." Yang Yongtai was also puzzled by the political force that has been developing in the southeast coastal areas.

In addition, the negotiations on the change of flags ended unhappily, and he also began to pay attention to this seemingly loose local regime...
