Chapter 47 Ye Jianying's "contribution"

The train from De'an to Nanchang was no longer available, so the uprising troops of the 25th Division had to walk towards Nanchang overnight.Marching in the moon field, although there is no scorching sun to glaring back, but the road can not be seen clearly, and there are many mosquitoes. When they arrived in Nanchang City, everyone was covered in sweat, and they were so thirsty that they wanted to spit out fire. At this time, it was dawn on August 2, and the sky had just dawned.Nie Rongzhen sat on the side of the road panting.Platoon Leader Li bought a big watermelon from a fellow villager and happily gave it to Nie Rongzhen.Nie Rongzhen, who was so hungry and thirsty, cut the melon in half and ate it with big mouthfuls. He ate more than half of it in a short while, and it really worked. The fatigue of the journey and the hot weather disappeared immediately.In Nanchang City, he found Zhou Enlai at the Women's Vocational Middle School and reported the situation to him.

Zhou Enlai was very happy: "Great, the operation was a success! I didn't expect it to be so smooth, and most of the 25th Division was pulled out." Zhou Enlai briefly talked about the uprising in Nanchang. "What's the next step?" Nie Rongzhen asked. Zhou Enlai still stated his original plan: "According to the scheduled plan, the troops will immediately go south, capture Guangdong, obtain Haikou, in order to obtain international aid, and then hold the second Northern Expedition." Zhou Shidi and Li Shuoxun also came. Zhou Enlai shook hands with them one by one, and especially said to Li Shuoxun, "Hey, you have also joined the army!"

The Front Committee decided to organize the uprising troops into the 25th Division, with Zhou Shidi as the division commander, and Li Shuoxun as the division party representative and director of the political department.The original 73rd Regiment and 75th Regiment did not change their establishment, and allocated 700 to 800 young people who participated in the uprising to the 25th Division, transferred some party members as backbones, and reorganized the 74th Division with the original 74th Reconnaissance Company. group.Nie Rongzhen is the representative of the 11th Army Party. Zhou Enlai suddenly asked Nie Rongzhen: "Do you know how Zhang Fakui is doing now?" A degree - the revolutionary career has trained him to grasp the ability to measure.

Nie Rongzhen said: "I heard from Jianying that Zhang Fakui was there when he jumped out of the car. Zhang Fakui ran in a hurry and threw all his things in the car. You and Li Hanhun, you blame me, I blame you. Everyone present laughed. " Zhou Enlai was thoughtful: "Where is Jianying now?" Zhang Fakui, who fled back to Jiujiang in embarrassment, threw a stool and smashed the table, venting his hatred: "Ye Ting and He Long openly rebelled, and Yu Gongyi's personal relationship is unforgivable! They took away an army and nearly two divisions!" Li Hanhun also sighed at the side: "This Ye Ting and He Long are simply revenge!"

Zhu Huiri simply said: "Commander-in-chief, I thought it was not too late to send troops to pursue them immediately, we can't take advantage of them like this!" Zhang Fakui's mood gradually calmed down: "If you want to say that Ye and He Zhi rebelled, the small is not small, and the big is not big." Li Hanhun patted his chest with his cattail fan: "I didn't expect my teacher to let him take nine out of ten!" Zhang Fakui thought about it and said: "Because the Fourth Army and the Eleventh Army killed more than 10,000 people in the Second Northern Expedition, the Communist Party used the soldiers' homesickness and used the slogan of returning to Guangdong to recuperate to incite them to go back to Guangdong. Or else Why would the soldiers go with them! It’s also our fault that we don’t manage the army strictly. I have asked the central government for punishment, and the central government has responded, asking us to deal with the rebels severely.”

Indeed, the Wuhan Nationalist Government sent an urgent telegram on August 2, with strong words: According to a report by Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army of the Fourth Army, He Long, commander of the 20th Army, and Ye Ting, commander of the 24th Division, were ordered by the Communist Party to plan to attack Nanchang. , and ask for punishment and other words.Zha has recently incited the Communist Party everywhere in an attempt to sabotage the national revolution.Ye Ting is the dead party of the Communist Party, and all the rioters of the party are among them; He Long was born in the green forest, and the Communist Party said that he wanted to kill people and rob money, so he chose him.The joint rebellion this time, the so-called gathering of snakes and scorpions in one cave, the people of Nanchang, who were tortured by this, really feel deeply sorry.He Long and Ye Ting immediately deprived him of his military post and punished him for treason.When Zhang Fakui first arrived in Jiujiang, when there was an accident, he should be excused from his comments, and he should immediately supervise his troops, and rush to suppress them, so as to find the culprit, and take down all the Communist Party members who instigate chaos and rebellion, so as to eliminate the harm to the people. .Zhang Fakui's troops attacked and suppressed the rebels, and it was hard to guarantee that they would flee to various places and cause disturbance.Zhu Peide, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Front Army, ordered to garrison troops in various places in eastern Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi, strictly enclosing them, and not letting them escape; Curb chaos.This order.

Zhang Fakui is a figure who is well versed in military strategy and has also "sit on the fence" politically.After he received the National Government's order to send troops to suppress, he did not act immediately.His mood is quite complicated. Although Wang Jingwei respected him face to face, he also heard Wang Jingwei discuss it on other occasions, saying, "Chiang Kai-shek slaughtered the Communist Party, Zhu Peide sent the Communist Party away, and Zhang Fakui was the only one who took in the Communist Party!" , Ye Ting rebelled openly regardless of his feelings. He should have made a clean break with him and encircled and wiped them out according to the order of the Nationalist Government; but his name was listed on the list of the Military Commission, and he also took a seat in the seven-member presidium; The pistols, binoculars on the table, and the guards standing behind were all returned as "gifts" from the Communist Party. How could he be so heartless?Besides, Wang Jingwei, how long he can support the building of the Republic of China is hard to say; Wang Jingwei is incomparable with Chiang Kai-shek. With a white face and a good mouth, if you want money but no money, you want guns but no guns, you will tremble when you are in a hurry, and you will chase after the "rebels" of the Communist Party, or not?Can you win after chasing it?Zhang Fakui's heart fluttered.

Li Hanhun resigned at some point, and the adjutant reported: Chief of Staff Ye Jianying has returned. "Please, please." Zhang Fakui was worrying that there was no one to plan with him, so he came to "Gao Can" and politely let him into the hall. "Have you read Chairman Wang's telegram? He wants me to go straight to Nanchang along the South Pollution Line." Ye Jianying didn't dare to take the liberty to make an idea, so he first asked Zhang Fakui about his plan.In fact, Ye Jianying's heart beats like a drum: Zhu Huiri has always been a "main faction". If according to his opinion, Zhang Fakui really wants to lead his troops to pursue the rebel army, the rebel army will face the danger of pinching back and forth, and the consequences will be unimaginable.He wanted to do everything possible to stabilize Zhang Fakui and give up the idea of ​​chasing him.

Zhang Fakui didn't want to hide it from Ye Jianying: "I won't talk about He Long, but Xiyi (Ye Ting) betrayed me. It was beyond my expectations. In all fairness, when did I treat him badly? Since he was unkind to me, I had no choice but to say no Righteousness, according to Chairman Wang's order, I will lead my troops to attack him. Jianying, you know, I don't want to do this kind of brother-in-law fight." Although Zhang Fakui made a strong vow, Ye Jianying still saw him from the subtleties. Doubts abound. Ye Jianying said: "At this time of year, those who sit on the sidelines often make money, and those who bear the brunt lose. No one wants to be a pawn."

Zhang Fakui is as bright as dark. Ye Jianying: "Going south to Guangdong is not only your and my long-cherished wish, but also the mood of the majority of the Second Front Army. Now, Tang Shengzhi said to transfer troops from Hunan and Hubei to attack Nanchang; Zhu Peide said to take command of the troops from Wuhan by detour to Ji'an. In my opinion, these are all on paper. Think about it, it will take time for the soldiers from Hunan and Hubei to be transferred to Nanchang; it will not be overnight for Zhu Peide to go from Wuhan to Ji'an. In this way, a few soldiers and horses, is it not empty talk? Only the commander-in-chief can do it. Troops. The boss took the 6 regiments in his hands to fight Ye and He, and the number of victories was too small."

Zhang Fakui loved to listen to Ye Jianying's overall analysis, and listened attentively. "In my opinion, the boss still sent troops, just bluffing. Although Chen Mingshu, who was originally entrenched in Guangzhou, was opposed to Li Jishen, his troops have now retreated to Chaoshan, and Guangdong is still Li Jishen's world. According to reliable information, Ye and He's troops will Go south to take Guangdong directly; if Ye and He enter Guangdong, Li Jishen will definitely send troops to fight. And once a fight starts, he will be unable to hold back. At that time, we can raise the banner of reinforcements and take the opportunity to pull the troops into Guangdong. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and profiting from it. Doing this, even Wang and Tang Xinhuan, will not hurt my vitality anymore. It is better than chasing after Ye and He's buttocks and hurting both of them." Zhang Fakui listened intently, while thinking.His not-too-tall body trembled with joy: "Jianying, you are so right, it's settled like this." He closed his eyes, thought about the specific implementation steps, and opened his eyes again to ask Ye Jianying: " It is this teaching group that is more difficult to manage.” The predecessor of the teaching group was the Wuhan branch of the Central Military and Political School, and they rushed to Jiujiang after the Nanchang Uprising.Zhang Fakui once lectured these students, saying that Ye and He had already rebelled, and anyone who wanted to go to them could be given travel expenses, but he hoped that the true believers of the Three People's Principles would follow him.Some students want to leave, while others want to stay. As soon as the students who wanted to leave set off on the road, they saw Zhu Peide's and Zhang Fakui's soldiers were arresting and killing people everywhere, and they retreated.Zhang Fakui was hesitant about how to deal with the teaching group.He knew that almost all the communists in the teaching group had run away, and those who did not run away were those who were loyal to him.But now Zhu Peide is more vicious than him, and if he catches someone, he will beheaded.If this group of people were taken in, they were afraid of conflicting with Zhu Peide and losing face in front of the national government. "Stay, of course you should stay." Ye Jianying said decisively.What he worried about was the suffering of the communists in the teaching group who had not yet left. "Stay? Where should I put it?" Zhang Fakui was still hesitating. "Merged with the Fourth Corps Officers' Training Corps." "What if Zhu Peide asks more questions?" "Just say it has been disbanded and tell him not to pursue it; even if he finds out that there are these student soldiers in the Fourth Army's officer teaching regiment in the future, he will not dare to directly trouble you." "Head Xie of the Fourth Army Teaching Corps has repeatedly offered to resign. Who will fill this vacancy and help them through this extraordinary period?" "I've already talked to Xie Yingbai. He said that the teaching group is not easy to manage. Since he doesn't want to be the head of the group, I'll come." "You?" Zhang Fakui's overwhelmed and bent eyebrows suddenly straightened, and his voice was as high as a stone: "Great, I'm relieved if you come to do it." After the teaching group arrived in Nanchang, the Jiangxi warlord Zhu Peide always looked down on him, and there were many side issues, but they were all resolved by Ye Jianying, the new head of the teaching group.The officers and soldiers of the teaching regiment also respected this Northern Expedition general very much.It was also in this year that Ye Jianying found her soulmate and married Zeng Xianzhi, a female soldier of the teaching group.
