Chapter VIII The Bewildering Way, Section 1, Dormant (3)
Huang Shaowan and Feng Gui mentioned that Chiang Kai-shek's attitude changed, but Zhuang Jihua's sword attack came so quickly and his actions were so ruthless that he directly cut his heart...
Feng Gui and Huang Shaofa both heard Gong Xiuhua's words, and their faces changed, but their moods were very different. Huang Shaofa's eyes at Zhuang Jihua were full of worry, but Feng Gui felt thoughtful.
Zhuang Jihua took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then asked: "Who will take over Zaitian?"
"Yu Dawei." Gong Xiuhua paused and added: "I served as the deputy director of the Military Service Department in Tian, and the minister is Lu Zhonglin. This department was expanded from the Military Service Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs and is a new institution. It is under the jurisdiction of the Executive Yuan."
Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything more. Now he wanted to set up a sword to rush to Chongqing and figure out the situation. What exactly did Chiang Kai-shek want? Should he cut power or just want to control the factory and mine in Guizhou and prevent it from falling into the hands of Sichuan Development Company; there are also four "development companies, China's most important military-industrial enterprise, Chiang Kai-shek plans to deal with it.
There are also financial banks controlled by Zhang Jingjiang. The four major banks in the banking industry have already occupied a strong share of one-third of the Chinese financial industry and can compete with the four state-owned banks. If Chiang Kai-shek wants to touch him, he will definitely not let these four banks go.
From the Year of the Chou to the present, whether he is in Chongqing or not, the Southwest Development Team is in control. However, with Li Zhilong's resignation, although he can still influence the Southwest Development Team in a short period of time, the Southwest Development Team is no longer under his control.
"Let's go, the Cultural Revolution, let's talk about what's going on when you have something to go back." Huang Shaofa sighed. Zhuang Jihua's experience made him feel a little sad. If even Zhuang Jihua would be suspicious of Chiang Kai-shek, how could he be able to transcend? It would be disappointing to think about it.
When he returned to Wuhua Mountain, Zhuang Jihua ordered to pack up his luggage. He contacted the Air Force and he flew to Chongqing by plane, while others returned to Chongqing by car via Panzhihua.
Gong Xiuhua began to call the air force all over the world, but unexpectedly, all the planes in Yunnan were placed under the command of Chennard, but Chennard told Gong Xiuhua that there was no plane to Chongqing at present. Zhuang Jihua was furious when he heard this, and ignored Chennard and directly contacted the Air Force Command to ask them for a happy plane.
Qian Dajun was quite friendly and agreed to the letter, and decided to send a special plane from Chongqing to pick up Zhuang Jihua and his party.
"This Chennard is a dog. Before the wall has fallen, he began to ignore people. Don't let me meet him in the future. I have to beat him up to find teeth." Wu Ziniu muttered. Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, but Gong Xiuhua said softly: "Forget it, go out first and let him be quiet."
Zhuang Jihua was grateful. Wu Ziniu was not as rough as he looked. His words were more comforting. He fully understood the impact of Li Zhilong's resignation and was worried that Zhuang Jihua would react fiercely, but now it is not the time to do such a move.
After Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu left, Zhuang Jihua could not calm down. Chongqing must have had a big upset now. Although he did not deliberately recruit people, the people who went out of the Southwest Development Team had already been marked with the Zhuang system. Among these people, only Hong Junqi entered the senior management. Other positions were not high, but they were distributed in various departments of the party, government and military in the three southwest provinces. Through them, Zhuang Jihua controlled the power of the party, government and military in the three southwest provinces. Now these people are bound to be impacted.
It seemed that everyone realized the situation was serious. Everyone packed their clothes silently and actually had nothing to clean up. Most of the greetings were not opened. The personal things were collected in a few minutes, and then they hid in the room or sneaked to another yard. The yard where Zhuang Jihua was was left with Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu. The two of them were smoking speechlessly.
"Cheng Chiang really wants to attack the commander?" Wu Ziniu asked in a low voice.
Gong Xiuhua shook her head, and she sniffed the cigarette butt at her feet: "Cheng Chiang shouldn't take a heavy hand, at least there is no sign of this at the moment. For Chiang Chiang, this risk is too great. Don't look at the commander's concessions, once the commander touches the commander's bottom line, the commander will definitely fight back. At that time, Chiang Chiang will be in trouble."
"This old Jiang" Wu Ziniu shook his head: "The commander has followed him since Guangzhou. I won't talk about how much effort he has put into him over the years. He gave him 500 million US dollars at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. He asked for weapons and equipment, and the Sichuan Development Company's products were allocated to him. What else should he do? He really dared to do to the commander. I killed him."
"Don't do anything randomly," Gong Xiuhua shouted impatiently: "The matter has not reached that point. With the commander's prestige, Chiang Kai-shek dared not do anything now. Do you think the commander is not guarding him. If he dares to move the commander, Deng Xihou and the others will not agree, the people of Chongqing and Sichuan will not agree, the experts and professors of the Southwest Development Team will not agree, and the soldiers in the army will not agree. The whole country will be in chaos, and Chiang Kai-shek will not dare to take this risk."
Having said that, Gong Xiuhua still looked inside the house with concern. Zhuang Jihua never spoke up and did not call them in. He must have a way to deal with Gong Xiuhua's understanding of Zhuang Jihua. But what troubled him was that he was unwilling to not not create a government crisis, nor would he shake the prestige of the National Government. In this way, the methods he could take were extremely limited and might not even be effective.
The sky gradually became dark, and the followers hiding outside looked out at the gate of the yard in groups of three or three. Gong Xiuhua waved his hand and told them to leave by themselves and not disturb them here.
"Is there anything to eat?" Zhuang Jihua's voice came from behind. Gong Xiuhua turned around and saw him standing at the door. She sighed softly and knew that he had found a way to deal with it. Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu did not ask Zhuang Jihua how he would deal with the crisis.
Just as Zhuang Jihua was having supper, Feng Gui came over staggeringly, pushed open the door and saw Zhuang Jihua having dinner. He stretched out his head to look at the food on the table, and couldn't help but smile:
"Well, steam pot chicken, ham, braised vegetarian belly, it's good, quite rich." Feng Gui's smile was filled with comfort and reassurance.
"Embroidered paintings, add a bowl." Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything: "The wine at noon has not yet subsided, so I won't drink tonight. Brother Wuchang, please do whatever you want."
"How can I not drink alcohol?" Feng Gui took out a can of wine from his arms like a magic trick, and opened the seal and said, "This is Kweichow Moutai for twenty years. Today you have a good time."
"Oh, twenty years of Maotai" Zhuang Jihua reached out to pick up the wine bottle. This wine bottle was not a glass wine bottle, but a traditional ceramic jar, a yellow clay pot with the words Maotai written on it. The whole wine jar was quaint. Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, and immediately poured it on himself and Feng Gui, and a strong aroma of wine immediately spread throughout the house.
Zhuang Jihua closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if intoxicated by the strong fragrance of wine. After a while, he opened his eyes and greeted Wu Ziniu excitedly: "Wu Ziniu, you have a good taste, bring a cup."
Unexpectedly, Wu Ziniu shook his head firmly: "Commander, from today on I won't drink. Commander, you'd better drink less. Mr. Feng, please forgive me for your responsibility."
After saying that, Wu Ziniu opened the door and went out. Zhuang Jihua was stunned. Feng Gui smiled slightly, but began to re-evaluate Wu Ziniu. From the beginning of getting the news, Wu Ziniu quietly raised Zhuang Jihua's defense level, Shi Shaoxian
The alert has been upgraded to the wartime level, and now their dangers are not only coming from Ganzigong and the Central Commission for Discipline.
Gong Xiuhua took the wine jar from Zhuang Jihua. This action shows that she doesn't want Zhuang Jihua to drink too much. After drinking two glasses of wine, Zhuang Jihua looked at Feng Gui and smiled: "Time is so aging. Brother Wuchang has become more and more steady over the years, and he is no longer as unruly as a genius in northern Jiangsu back then."
"There's no way" Feng Gui was breathing alcohol in his mouth, and he felt a little proud. He sneaked into Chiang Kai-shek and guided him to launch the Zhongshan ship, but this also became a turning point in his career. From then on, he slowly left the center of power and gradually became a mediocre bureaucrat in the officialdom of Nanjing. His ambition was not realized. It was not until he was sent to Chongqing that his gradually quiet ambition was rekindled in the vigorous social reform.
"For so many years, there are so many things, it's not okay to be calm." Feng Gui sighed: "Cultural Revolution, aren't you the same? If you want to change this before, I'm afraid you won't say anything, and the biggest thing is to be poisoned, but can you ignore it now? Can you leave?"
Zhuang Jihua was silent. Indeed, he could not ignore it, nor could he leave. He had to make efforts to restore the unfavorable situation for himself and for those who followed him.
"After I went back to the Cultural Revolution, I checked all the speeches of the Chairman and all the instructions of the Party Committee in recent months. The conclusion I came to was that the Chairman had not made up his mind yet. Although he removed Li Zhilong, it was not enough to say that he was going to touch you. So you still have a chance to get it back, but I think it would be better not to make such an attempt." Suddenly, Feng Gui's expression became very serious. The drunkenness disappeared without a trace.
"Why?" Zhuang Jihua asked quietly while playing with the wine glass. Since he came back, he has been waiting for Feng Gui's arrival. In terms of talent, there have been many gatherings around him, such as Wang Guobin, a war-going general like Xia Yanglin, a government expert like Li Zhilong, and a financial talent like Mei Yuntian, but lacks a conspirator. Zhang Jingjiang is not such a conspirator like Feng Gui. He is not even a politician. He just has more experience than others. "Cultural Revolution, did you find that?" Feng Gui did not answer, but continued, "Your power is too scattered and too concentrated." He paused when he said this.
Zhuang Jihua and Gong Xiupao seem to be a time for them to think, and then they said: "When you talk about concentration, your power is mainly concentrated in Chongqing. Although the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are under your control, you actually only control one-third. Of course, it is the most important third. When you control the three provinces of the southwest rely more on your prestige. The prestige you have accumulated over the years has a huge flaw. Once the chairman wants to move you, you can only rely on your prestige to fight back, but this will weaken your prestige, so your counterattack will weaken your prestige. And this is your biggest and most powerful weapon."
"When it comes to concentration, your people are mainly concentrated in the Southwest Development Team and Chongqing, and the chairman is now increasingly unable to tolerate this. The team was named the Southwest Development Team to cover up the preparation for the anti-Japanese war. Now that the War of Resistance has entered its fifth year, it is no longer applicable to the use of the Southwest Development Team, and there are more and more conflicts with the central power. So sooner or later, the chairman will move him. You might as well take this opportunity to give up and take the opportunity to start a new job."
"Where can we start the stove?" Zhuang Jihua asked calmly.
"Five War Zone." Feng Gui spit out three words without hesitation. His eyes were staring at Zhuang Jihua, but there was no expression on Zhuang Jihua's face. Feng Gui continued: "The commander of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren, is the political opponent of the Chairman of the Guizhou Clan. There are many elite soldiers now. The Chairman will never want to be controlled by the Guangxi Clan for a long time. This is what God left for you."
The last sentence made Zhuang Jihua feel a strange feeling. A scene from Longzhong suddenly surged in his mind. What God left for you? Zhuge Liang seemed to be saying to Liu Bei.
"After you arrive at the Fifth War Zone, you can adjust the personnel composition of the Fifth War Zone at will. You can take this opportunity to transfer your people to the Fifth War Zone, and then set off from here to counterattack and install your people in the recaptured area."
"I'm afraid it's difficult," Zhuang Jihua sighed slightly: "The Chairman will not easily agree to a counterattack, and he will not provoke a conflict with the Guangxi clique until he has cleaned up me."
This sigh made Feng Gui smile. He grabbed Zhuang Jihua's mind. Zhuang Jihua had realized that he had to disappear in military and political terms for a while and also chose the area to re-exit the mountain, that is, the Fifth War Zone, but it was just a matter of how to obtain the Fifth War Zone. He said excitedly: "It's good that there is such a possibility, but it's just a matter of time. So after you go back, you don't want to compete for the Southwest Development Team or the military power. You will accept any position if the Chairman gives you, and then go to the northwest, stay in Xi'an, and often meet Hu Zongnan. No matter what the Chairman does, don't go back to Chongqing. It's better to take Li Zhilong away."
Zhuang Jihua thought, and gradually smiled on his face. Feng Gui is worthy of being a conspiracy expert. Hu Zongnan was supported by Chiang Kai-shek, and an important piece that restrained him and Chen Cheng. If he had closer to Hu Zongnan, Chen Cheng would probably be restless and Chiang Kai-shek would also feel uneasy.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang Jihua took the wine jar from Gong Xiuhua and filled it with Feng Gui and his wine glass: "If I can control the fifth zone, I hope Mr. will come and help me at that time."
Feng Gui showed a sincere smile on his face. This was his main purpose today. He drank the wine in a sip, lit up the bottom of the glass, and said with a big smile: "I wish you, I dare not invite you."
Zhuang Jihua also drank a toast and the two looked at each other and laughed. The stone in Gong Xiuhua's heart fell to the ground. She could not have a good impression of Feng Gui or a disgust, but she saw his plan tonight. Feng Gui must have realized that Chen Lifu had accumulated over the years, if he had not been concerned about Zhuang Jihua, he would have replaced him. Now he expressed his attitude to Zhuang Jihua and sought a way out for himself. This person's knowledge was considered to be super-satisfied.
After seeing Feng Gui away, Gong Xiuhua cleaned up and said with a smile: "Feng Gui is also a clever person. He can even guess Jiang Jiang's thoughts from a distance.
”
"Don't you," Zhuang Jihua said seriously: "This person is well-educated in Chinese and Western learning, especially good at conspiracy and tricks. He can see things that ordinary people cannot see, but his personality is a bit arrogant. He has been better in the past two years, and he was really crazy in Guangzhou back then."
"Are you really going to do what he said?" Gong Xiuhua asked.
"What he thought was a little different from mine." Zhuang Jihua didn't say it explicitly: "Let's talk about it after seeing the chairman." He calmed down at this point: "Maybe his initial proposal was better, forget it, let's talk about it when seeing the principal."
Gong Xiuhua understood that Zhuang Jihua was wandering between the social reform in the northwest and simply resting. The reason why he was unable to make up his mind was Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.
