Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Chiang Kai-shek's grand plan to cut down the vassals was a game carefully planned by Chiang Kai-shek for a long time. Seeing that the achievements have been completed, all the princes on the chopping board fled away one after another.

Not daring to give up, Chiang Kai-shek immediately summoned Yang Yongtai and Yang Wei to discuss the follow-up plan. Yang Wei's answer was straightforward, and he said in a steady voice: "Principal, since we can't cut down the vassal with words, we can only treat each other with force." .”

After hearing Yang Wei's plan, Yang Yongtai shouted without hesitation: "Mr. Jiang, absolutely not!"

Yang Yongtai was invited into Chiang Kai-shek's command as the chief of staff. Since Yang Wei was favored by Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Yongtai had a lot of opinions on him, but the reason why Yang Yongtai obstructed Yang Wei's plan was not just out of selfishness One's own heart must be reasonable.

Yang Yongtai looked at Chiang Kai-shek solemnly, and said earnestly: "Principal, the Northern Expedition took many years just to prepare, and it took two full years on the official battlefield. It took many twists and turns to win it narrowly. Now the war has just ended. It is the time when everything is waiting to be rejuvenated, and if troubles are provoked again, it will be of no benefit to the soldiers or the people, and it will be easier for other countries to take advantage of the opportunity when the national strength is weak."

Chiang Kai-shek didn't understand what Yang Yongtai meant. Moreover, the Northern Expedition started from Guangdong, and attacked from south to north in one direction. There were helping forces in all directions, but now looking around, all directions are organized If the various forces that are enraged are sent together, the lonely and lonely Nanjing will be like a solitary boat on the vast ocean, and if it is not done, it will be silent in the long river of history.

Regarding Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Yongtai's worries, Yang Wei looked disapproving, smiled calmly and waved his hands: "Principal, don't worry, although there are so many powerful forces coming today, you only need to find their weaknesses and cut off their lifelines. Naturally, the overall situation can be regained."

Yang Wei listed Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, and Yan Xishan separately. These three are the three most important obstacles on the road to Chiang Kai-shek's real control of power and the completion of the reduction of feudal vassals. These three have different personalities, but they can be broken one by one.

Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army with strong troops and horses, has the most approachable personality. He is a Christian and loves learning very much. The occurrence of the defection incident shows that this person is the most easily shaken among the four. If you want to win Feng Yuxiang over, you only need to do what you like and start with the economy, because the Northwest Army led by Feng Yuxiang is stationed in the In the poverty-stricken areas of the Northwest, military expenditures are often a problem. If they provide financial help, everything else is still negotiable.

In addition, Yan Xishan's happiness and anger are not shown in his "color" on weekdays, he is very savvy, but it is best to make small calculations, in Yang Wei's view, he is really short-sighted, otherwise he would not be in the editor At the repatriation meeting, he easily became the spokesperson for the concept of Chiang Kai-shek's central reorganization area. It can be seen that he did not consider the consequences of the matter at all. This person is very opportunistic and extremely greedy for fame. If you take a side-by-side attack on the serious consequences of confronting the central government, you will definitely be able to win them into your own camp.

After these two people, Li Zongren was left, who was also the most difficult one among the three.The Guangxi army controlled by Li Zongren is still relatively abundant, and it is unrealistic to fight against it with a silver bullet offensive. However, the generals in his army are bold and reckless, and committing "chaos" is nothing to them. It can be seen from the sonorous reprimand of the army commander to Chiang Kai-shek at the military parade at the beginning, political means are also difficult to be effective, the most important thing is that its foundation is deep, and the land of the two lakes is the closest to Nanjing. There is no chance of winning, and it is more likely to be controlled.

But it was precisely because Li Zongren was the greatest threat to Nanjing that he was about to attack him. Although it was a dangerous move, he had to go.

After hearing Yang Wei's analysis, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but tremble. Back then, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army formally controlled the area of ​​the two lakes, then went down the river from the two lakes, and finally went straight to Nanjing. This historical allusion is familiar to Chiang Kai-shek. Isn't it a serious problem of his?

Yang Wei continued with a serious face: "The Guangxi faction is the first to bear the brunt of the enemy's key point, and it is inevitable to fight to break it."

Such bold theories made Yang Yongtai jump his feet anxiously, and couldn't help interjecting: "Principal, it is not an easy task to break through Li Zongren's Guangxi faction. Think about it, as a representative of the Guangxi faction, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are not good at fighting. Their military distribution stretches thousands of miles from south to north, and Li Jishen is in charge of the world in Guangdong and Guangxi. Li Jishen, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi are wearing a pair of trousers. Such a military belt runs through, and the two lakes and Guangdong go north The direct access to Shanhaiguan is the territory of the Guangxi Clan, so it is really inappropriate for us to mobilize troops from Nanjing."

As Yang Yongtai said, the military zone controlled by Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Li Jishen stretches like a long snake. If Chiang Kai-shek sends troops to attack at this time, he is really guilty, not to mention that many forces are watching. Chiang Kai-shek never wants to experience such a thing as his own movements, electrification and going to the field again in his life.

Chiang Kai-shek involuntarily turned his attention to Yang Wei. Through these smart ideas put forward by Yang Wei, Chiang Kai-shek's trust in Yang Wei was greatly improved, and on the contrary, Yang Wei's opinion was more important than Yang Yongtai.

The understanding Yang Wei smiled lightly, without the slightest nervousness on his face. Compared with Yang Yongtai's expression, he said slowly and calmly: "Although the strength of the Gui family is like a long snake formation, , but it is not a steel formation, if you want to capture and kill the forces of the Gui family, you only need to behead their heads, cut off their tails, and then go straight to their stomachs, as long as their forces are scattered and disintegrated, even Panlong is no problem!"

Hearing Yang Wei's impassioned words, Chiang Kai-shek was immediately excited, but after thinking about it for a while, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

The hands-on method has been prepared, but there seems to be something missing other than that. Chiang Kai-shek tapped the table with his slender fingers impatiently, and sighed: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng a little."

Yang Wei immediately understood what Chiang Kai-shek meant, and said loudly: "Since the principal wants to do something, there will naturally be a legitimate reason."

Chiang Kai-shek frowned and looked at Yang Wei suspiciously: "It sounds like you have already thought of a countermeasure?"

Yang Wei patted his chest and vowed: "Principal, please rest assured, within a week, Yang Wei will find a suitable reason for the principal to fight."
