Chapter 312: Taizu's Overall View
Regarding the meaning revealed by Yan Laoxi in the car, Fu Zuoyi, who got off the car and arranged for the old commander and his group to enter the guesthouse, told Deng Chenggong truthfully. [Queen of Training]
He did this to show his attitude that since he joined the Militia Corps, he must put the interests of the Militia Corps first in everything. Secondly, he hopes that the old commander will express his meaning and can be recognized by Deng Chenggong.
At least he felt that even if the Militia Corps took over Jin Province and promoted another person to serve as the chairman of the military government of Jin Province, it would not be appropriate for Yan Laoxi, who really joined the Militia Corps. In a sense, Yan Laoxi, who was in power in the Three Jins, still had many supporters among the people. If this were not the case, how could Yan Laoxi, who withdrew from the Three Jins, persist to this day?
Deng Chenggong did not express any meaning when Fu Zuoyi informed him, but simply asked: "Brother Fu, if he had served as the commander-in-chief of the militia today, would you agree to hand over the Jin Provincial Department after liberation to him?"
Fu Zuoyi didn't understand what Deng Chenggong meant, but thought for a moment: "If he was really willing to hand over military power and really wanted to do something practical for the people of the Three Jins, then I would hand over Jin Province to him. At least in my opinion, no one is more suitable for the chairman of the Jin Provincial Military Government after the liberation."
After hearing Fu Zuoyi's words, Deng Chenggong seemed to have no displeasure. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since Brother Fu has the same meaning, what do you think you will deal with this matter as much as possible? In short, I will try my best to solve this matter, so you can rest assured. I won't make it too difficult for you to do! Haha!"
Although he did not express his true intentions, Fu Zuoyi still understood that Deng Chenggong did not seem to be worried about Yan Laoxi's position as the chairman of the military government of Jin Province after liberating the post-liberation of Jin Province. On the other hand, he could even deal with the Japanese who were stationed in Jin Province. If Yan Laoxi really dared to betray him by then, wouldn't it be easy to deal with him who had no military power?
Thinking about this, Fu Zuoyi felt that he might have attached too much importance to the friendship he owed this old commander, and he had lost the most basic judgment of being a general. With the current ability of the militia corps, he was indeed not afraid of others going back on his word. Moreover, the prestige of the commander-in-chief in various troops in front of him was not something that anyone could overthrow if he wanted to overthrow it.
It can be said that as long as Deng Chenggong does not die, the militia corps will not be able to take it away, whether it is him or others. Perhaps it is precisely because of the support of these people and grassroots soldiers that Deng Chenggong can seem so confident about them who are in charge of one side!
Of course, a small and sumptuous feast was held that night to entertain this famous veteran in China. At the banquet, Deng Chenggong also said that it was not suitable to talk about official affairs at this time. The specific question should be whether to wait until the arrival of Taizu tomorrow, and the three parties would sit down and talk in detail.
When Yan Laoxi heard that the President of the People's Party, Taizu would come tomorrow, he felt a little nervous. He knew very well that the Kuomintang's current power in Jin Province could be said to be pitiful. In addition to the most powerful militia corps, the remaining troops of the Jin army led by him were close to the People's Party guerrilla armed forces that were more and more frequent in Jin Province.
Thinking of the relationship between the People's Party and the Militia Corps, Yan Laoxi suddenly felt that he might not be able to do this time, "not seeking control of the army but only seeking power" and the idea was about to fail. At this time, Deng Chenggong said that he would talk to the chairman of the People's Party about the situation in Jin Province. I think he intended to hand over the ownership of Jin Province to the People's Party, which is not a good signal for Yan Laoxi.
He was a little unhappy and was still involved in the People's Party. After thinking it through, he felt that he was right this time. If he came here for a while, Jinsheng would not have anything to do. From the originally agreed second-party talks to the current third-party talks, the Taizu, who was different from the National Party, came. It seems that it is still a bit difficult to negotiate a satisfactory result in this matter!
Fortunately, Yan Laoxi asked himself that the War of Resistance started, and he helped the People's Party a lot. Although Chairman Chiang intended to suppress him, since the People's Party's armed forces entered Jin Province, he has not obeyed the Chairman's instructions too much for consideration of the situation in Jin Province. So much so that he has sold some favors in the minds of the top leaders of the People's Party.
With these causes that have been made before, I think there will be no big trouble to pick back the fruit that originally belonged to me this time! Yan Laoxi, who comforted himself, was no longer happy at the banquet. Soon after everyone had a little fun, they went back to their room to rest and wait for tomorrow's negotiations on the ownership of Jin Province. The final result would be that their side would take Jin Province, which is really unknown!
But after returning to the room and calming down, Yan Laoxi felt a little confused. In fact, not only about the People's Party, but also his understanding of Deng Chenggong seemed to be a bit too simple. He said that his current strength is far superior to that of the National Party, but in some matters, even if the National Party takes the initiative to provoke, he will be more tolerant.
Sometimes, they give away weapons and ammunition for free, and make friends with some domestic warlord forces. It seems that as long as you don’t provoke the militia corps and act straight and straight, the militia corps will treat you sincerely. Deng Chenggong seems to have no desire for power at all. This makes Yan Laoxi very unable to see through what Deng Chenggong thought.
Logically speaking, the militia corps with five provinces and millions of troops have influence in China exceeds the peak period of the Northeast Army. If he really wanted to establish his own business, it is still unknown whether the country would be decided by the National Party in the future. But Deng Chenggong has been suppressing his resolute efforts to join any factional disputes, nor is he willing to form a political party by himself. More of them are doing things to revive people's livelihood and revitalize the economy.
Just talking about making money, Yan Laoxi thought that others said that he was good at doing business. But looking at Deng Chenggong's industrial and commercial layout in the militia, Yan Laoxi felt that he was too far behind. From Deng Chengyi, he took out his old capital, and even paid it to you, he was convinced. Deng Chenggong's business is even more important than political!
There is also the militia corps who treated the People's Party in the first place. When the War of Resistance broke out, it was logical that the People's Party was very weak among the domestic warlord factions. Even the Jinsui Army that withdrew from Taiyuan at that time might be inferior to that. But Deng Chenggong was in love with the army of this party. He not only borrowed territory to develop the other party, but also always gave guns, cannons and supplies. He could never forget to give the People's Party a good deal if there was anything good.
This made Yan Laoxi wonder if Deng Chenggong, who didn't know the background, would be a chess piece arranged by the People's Party in advance. But now thinking about it, it seems unlikely. But why was Deng Chenggong so enthusiastic about the People's Party? This made Yan Laoxi really want to be unable to do so!
But no matter what he was thinking, he would have to grab the territory of Jinsheng no matter what. In his words, Jinsheng is his old man's home, his homeland and his roots. As long as he is alive, he will not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. Without the strength to drive away the Japanese, he will not let the Japanese calm down. If the People's Party really wants to get rid of the fire this time, don't blame him for turning against others.
But he guessed the beginning, but couldn't guess the end. The next day, Taizu and his group arrived in Shijiazhuang, and Deng Chenggong also went to the station to pick up the train himself. Yan Laoxi, who wanted the People's Party not to interfere in the matter, naturally lowered his posture and followed Deng Chenggong to pick up the train at the station.
Back at the militia corps, Taizu and Yan Laoxi chatted with him for a few polite words, and then he was a little tired and wanted to take a break for a while. This also means that the meeting, which was originally scheduled for noon, was postponed until the afternoon.
Taizu said he needed to rest when he was tired, so Yan Laoxi naturally didn't say much, so he quickly left the room where Taizu stayed with his entourage. But when his people left, Taizu quickly asked someone to inform Deng Chenggong, hoping to hold a simple meeting with Deng Chenggong before the afternoon talks. At least he had to know why Yan Laoxi came here.
Deng Chenggong received a notice from his subordinates and quickly walked into Taizu's room. After learning about Taizu's true intention, Deng Chenggong quickly revealed the purpose of Yan Laoxi. In fact, Deng Chenggong did not have much desire for the territory of Jin Province.
In addition, the Datong front line already belongs to the Militia Corps, not much more than Jin Province, and less Jin Province will not cause much harm to the Militia Corps. He only hopes that a little bit. Whether it is Yan Laoxi or the People's Party ruling Jin Province, they must ensure that they will not cause trouble to the rear of the militia column. This is what Deng Chenggong hopes to see.
In the past, he felt that Yan Laoxi had close contacts with the Kuomintang. If he chose to stand on the side of the Kuomintang, he would stand on the side of the Kuomintang. He was worried that the Kuomintang would cause monsters to drive away the Japanese in the future and discuss the establishment of the country. When Deng Chenggong met with Taizu and General Zhu, he decided to hand over all the territory of Jin Province except Taitong to the People's Party to control. At least in terms of character, Deng Chenggong felt that the promises made by Taizu and General Zhu were much more reliable than that chairman and General Yan Laoxi.
Deng Chenggong said the original ending of this matter and the original considerations without reservation. The reason for his doing this was that he did not want to. He had any suspicion about his cooperation with the People's Party. This honest attitude made Taizu feel very satisfied.
After listening to Deng Chenggong's opinion, Taizu expressed his opinion on behalf of the People's Party: "Success, in fact, I and the boss also guessed on the way here. At this time, Old Xi of Yan visited you. But unexpectedly, this time he was so willing to invest so much. He would rather not have military power than take back the ruling power of Jin Province.
In fact, our People's Party has no objection to this matter. At least one thing, we are consistent with you, that is, as long as you fight the Japanese sincerely and seek benefits for the people, they are all our friends. At this time, Yan Laoxi chose to give up his military power and be willing to seek the government management power of Jin Province. I think he was forced to be impatient by the Chairman's method.
Therefore, our People's Party also feels that as long as it governs, it does not threaten the passage between our northern Shaanxi base and the two liberated areas, we will be happy to see Jin Province liberation as soon as possible.
Besides, when we just took over Nanhe and Sandong, our People's Party's military and government urgently need time to improve and rectify. Therefore, even if we control Jin Province now, we can only end up being greedy but may be stolen. Moreover, some time ago, the veterans of our troops suffered relatively high casualties. The newly expanded troops have all declined.
Therefore, even if we want to recover Jin Province, I am afraid that the protagonist still needs your militia corps to sing. Just as you said just now, we will be relieved to hand over your militia corps. As long as Yan Laoxi does not want to regain military power, then we do not oppose him as the future chairman of the Jin Provincial Military Government."
After listening to what Taizu said, Deng Chenggong was truly relieved. It seems that the Taizu in front of him was still the Taizu in his memory, and his heart for the country and the people was really useless.
If the Kuomintang today could have such a real sense of suspicion and unite to the outside world. I am afraid that the Japanese were kicked out of the country a few years ago, and they would not have fallen to the present, and the Japanese would have occupied half of China. In this alone, his choice to deepen cooperation with the People's Party is better than the one who cooperated with the Kuomintang! (To be continued.
