Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-]: Great Arrival

Tang Qiuli knew the mission and arduousness of this westward trip to Shaanxi and Gansu. In the eyes of the CCP, he was probably the biggest new warlord in China besides Chairman Jiang. His ideals and political ambitions will never be content to be subordinated to others. Once given the opportunity, this is a terrifying force with enormous energy. In any case, the purpose of this trip is to find an ally, not to establish enemy.

Opened the "About the Reorganization Plan of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China" drawn up by the senior officers of the Military Commission. Sure enough, as history stated, the Chinese Communist Party was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Peng Dehuai has jurisdiction over three divisions and six brigades, namely the famous [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and [-]th Division in history, which are the basic team of millions of troops later. The plan also stipulates that division commanders and brigade commanders Commanders at the first level need to report to the Military Commission for approval. Officers at the regiment level and below can be appointed by the Eighth Route Army themselves, and they can be reported to the Military Commission for the record.

The national government is responsible for supplying the equipment funds and supplies of the three divisions, and the designated future combat area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is the North China area, within the jurisdiction of his own Yellow River Basin theater. Tang Qiuli shook his head while watching. The petty family is angry, and it is the largest opposition party, so it is obviously restricting the development of the CCP with such a small establishment.

The abacus is good, but the CCP is not something you can limit. As long as they drive out of northern Shaanxi, within a year, tens of thousands of people will become tens of thousands of people. There is a fundamental conflict here. The development of the CCP The area is in North China, so it is inevitable to compete with itself for military and material resources. This is also one of the ruthless hands that Chairman Jiang released the CCP. [

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli felt quite a headache. The overall resources in the theater are so small. It is impossible to avoid conflicts. After all, the CCP wants to develop, and he has no good way to avoid these things from happening. He can only go with the flow nature.

That night, Tang Qiuli did not sleep well. A force that will gain power in the future is about to step onto the stage of history. It will not only change the strategic structure of North China, but will also have a far-reaching impact. He has to consider many aspects .

In the morning, he held a meeting. At the meeting, Tang Qiuli decided to form an advance team, led by Mei Ting, with the investigation director Shen Jun as his deputy, to go to northern Shaanxi in advance to make a stand for himself, and also to contact the CCP first. In case I have such an identity, I suddenly go to northern Shaanxi.It seemed a bit abrupt, and there was no more suitable person than Mei Ting for this matter. The identity was right there, the wife of the vice chairman, a resounding gold-lettered signboard.

And I have to stay in Nanjing for a few days. Since the CCP is a move released by Generalissimo Jiang to deal with him, all the expenses will naturally be borne by the government. I am not stupid enough to pay for it out of my own pocket. Go, obviously lack of sincerity, write a bad check, but Tang Qiuli knows the efficiency of certain departments of the government, especially when it comes to pocketing, and he is not here to watch, when it will be in place, it is really hard to say.

Mei Ting and Shen Jun left Nanjing on the same day, returned to the army, and organized an advance team. In the next few days, Tang Qiuli ran between various departments of the government to implement all the equipment and supplies allocated to the CCP one by one, and also Thanks to his personal supervision, all departments did not dare to argue, and soon, everything needed was ready and shipped to Xi'an in advance.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. Mei Ting, who had already arrived in northern Shaanxi, sent a telegram saying that everything was going well. After preliminary negotiations with the leaders of the Communist Party of China, a basic agreement had been reached. Admired, "Mei Ting did a beautiful job!"

The general mobilization meeting in Nanjing was also coming to an end. After a few days of quarrels, a basic agreement was signed, and the princes from all walks of life were more or less bloody. Chairman Jiang was quite satisfied with the results of the meeting. This can be seen from his happy expression , it can be seen that on the same day, the Executive Yuan issued a letter of appointment, appointing Li Honggang, the commander of the Shandong Local Garrison Command, as the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, with full powers to manage the government affairs of Shandong Province, and Yuan Jinghao, the commander of the Shaanxi Garrison Command, was appointed as the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government Tang Qiuli, who has full power to manage the government affairs of Shaanxi Province, the vice chairman of the Military Commission, and the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command, concurrently serves as the chairman of the Henan Provincial Government.

The appointment of the Executive Yuan means that the lands in Shaanxi and Henan provinces that Yan Xishan covets, and the lands in Shandong Province that Li Zongren misses, officially fall into the hands of Tang Qiuli. Depressing things, the Military Commission issued an order to revoke the Xuzhou theater, the Guangxi army and the Sichuan army were transferred to the Songhu area, the chairman of the Shanxi provincial government, the deputy commander of the independent division, Feng Jiwu, the commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Yan Xishan in charge of the military. He served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater.

Tang Qiuli was not happy about the appointment of Feng Jiwu as the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government. This was obviously another move by Generalissimo Jiang to provoke Yan Xishan and himself, and to transfer Yan Xishan's anger to himself. If the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are not dealt with, an empty provincial government chairman is of no use.

Yan Xishan, who regards Shanxi as his private property, is willing to easily give up the territory he has painstakingly managed for many years. He will definitely not let it go. It was shameful enough, and he immediately ordered Feng Jiwu to resign his appointment as the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government. The reason was very good. He was in a tense confrontation with the Japanese army and there were frequent wars, so he could not perform his duties as chairman.

Tang Qiuli was just making a gesture for Yan Xishan to reassure him that this was not his original intention. At the same time, he also told Generalissimo Jiang that I know your intentions and you are not fooled. Even though Tang Qiuli wanted to acquire Shanxi in his dreams, However, this kind of time is by no means the best time. After Chairman Jiang's move was finally resolved, all the affairs in Nanjing have been completed, and he can leave here tomorrow to complete the mission of the imperial envoy.

The night before his departure, Dai Li paid a surprise visit. As usual, he covered his head with a top hat and covered his face with a coat to hide his whereabouts. When he saw Tang Qiuli, Dai Li couldn't express his gratitude in words. He was already at the Generalissimo Jiang's place. , Knowing everything, the dream is about to come true, this deep and ruthless secret agent leader can't help being a little over excited.

Swearing to repay the vice chairman's love, Tang Qiuli only told him that this is the result of your brother Yu Nong's own efforts. Qiuli dare not covet heaven's merits for himself, but, in the future, there will be information from the Japanese, and he hopes that the independent division Dai Li was relieved that he could also get a copy. He originally thought that Tang Qiuli was going to make some harsh demands, but the result was beyond his expectation.

On February [-]th, Tang Qiuli and his party took a special plane and left Nanjing for Dingbian. His itinerary was to go to Dingbian first and then go to Yan'an from Dingbian. I haven't visited my parents and father-in-law for a long time, so this can be regarded as a balance between public and private.

Dingbian, compared to the last time he came back, has undergone greater changes, which makes Tang Qiuli very satisfied. The city is in a state of virtuous circle, and the rapid development has become the economic pillar of the independent division, especially the various military enterprises. Development plays a decisive role in improving the equipment of the independent division. Wang Xu's equipment research institute has been moved from Huangyadong to Dingbian.

He can only stay in Dingbian for one day. Using this day, he convened a joint meeting attended by the heads of various departments of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and the security zone. It is an important task in the district. Within one year, a reserve force of more than 10 people will be formed in Dingbian, and the training will be strict. The instructors can be sent by the field troops and the Dingbian Military Academy. One year later, they will form an army and be officially incorporated into the battle order of the independent division. , which is a hard indicator.

After the meeting was over, it was late in the evening, so he paid a quick visit to his father-in-law's family. Then, at home, he ate a delicious meal cooked by his mother in the Northeast. It may be that the mother saw the clues. Facing her mother's probing eyes, Tang Qiuli had no time to explain. Thinking of leaving tomorrow and not knowing when he would be able to return, he secretly lamented the pain of his life and felt a little melancholy in his heart.

On February 22, Tang Qiuli left Dingbian and rushed to Yan'an via Wuqi. There were more than a thousand guards and entourages accompanying him. The long motorcade was mighty and mighty. Originally, he didn't want to put on such a show, but This was Chairman Jiang's request, saying it was to show the importance he attached to the CCP. In Tang Qiuli's view, there were more elements of demonstration and showing off.

The convoy passed the security guards, and along the way, you can see many slogans, all of which welcome you. It seems that the CCP has made a lot of effort in this regard. Probably in northern Shaanxi, before this, I have never seen a car. Why? Things, where they passed by, the people in the villages and towns along the way, looking at the Western scenery, lined up to watch the excitement, and Tang Qiuli's luxurious lineup became a topic that the local people still talked about after many years. [

The convoy entered Yan'an City, which surprised Tang Qiuli, who was deeply influenced by the history of later generations. Yan'an at this time was far from the prosperity of a few years later, let alone the red city, the revolutionary holy place of the Communists, and the hot-blooded youth. The place of worship, young people from all over the country flock here like a tide, seeking the truth of resisting Japan and saving the nation.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, Yan'an was an important frontier fortress. It was an important military town to prevent the cavalry from the Mongolian Plateau going south. After the Ming Dynasty, it gradually declined. The tile-roofed houses on the street are intertwined, and a main street is bumpy and bumpy. There are nearly a hundred shops on both sides of the street, and the business is flat.

Although after more than a year of operation and recovery by the CCP, the extremely thin family background and lack of financial resources have not fundamentally changed the appearance of Yan'an. Out of the same place.
