Chapter 638: Military and Political Minister He Yingqin!

Nanjing Presidential Palace:

Jiang Zhong is sitting in a chair, dressed in a gray robe, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and there is also a thick pile of newspapers on the table in front of him.

The content in the newspaper is all about the robbery of Du's enterprise's arms and weapons in Jinan on the way to the northeast.

Even if it was him, he was also a headache. He had already agreed to Zhang Zongchang's request and sent troops to Shandong to assist him in the military defense of Shandong, but he did not expect such a thing to happen at the critical moment.

Others can't see through it, but Jiang can see it clearly. Although Zhang Zongchang insisted that he did not do the incident and did it at all.

What an unknowing one!

Jiang Zhongzheng only felt funny. This Zong Chang played tricks on his head, but he didn't know that everything he did was so obvious. Any smart person would definitely not take his words seriously. In his defense zone, he didn't know that such a major thing happened under his jurisdiction? Isn't this when he is a three-year-old child to cheat?

Opposite him sat a very handsome man, about thirty years old, energetic and his eyes were very bright.

This person is Jiang Zhongzheng's confidant, He Yingqin, the current Minister of Military Affairs, and the second person in the Republic of China after Chiang Kai-shek.

Jiang Zhongzheng glanced at the newspaper in front of him, couldn't help sneering and said slowly, "This Zongchang is very good. The idea actually hit the two princes in Shanghai and Northeast China."

He Yingqin listened, smiled and said, "The principal's words are not good for what the students see!"

"Uh?" Jiang Zhongzheng put down the teacup in his hand and said curiously, "Yes, let's talk about your opinion."

"Yes!" He Yingqin answered and said, "In this incident, I'm afraid that even Zhang Zongchang did not expect that it would develop into such a situation. As students think, Zongchang must have secretly tracked and monitored this batch of arms and must have sent a heart and abdomen team to do it, while Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang had to do it the next day. When you get the news, and even know the location of the incident, you even know that it is Xuanzhangtun in Yucheng. You can think about what the connection is. Obviously, at the first time, Du Haisheng learned the whole process of the matter and informed Zhang Xueliang, who was far away in the northeast.

"In response, does it mean that all this is a scene directed by two people together?"

Jiang Zhongzheng withdrew his smiling eyes, his face became solemn, and asked.

He Yingqin shook his head and said, "Of course not. If the students speculate that there is no such tacit understanding between Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang, they all know that General Zhang loves soldiers like a son. What's more, in this attack, the whole army was destroyed by the elite brigade, more than 500 people. Although not many, it is not a small number, more What's more, these soldiers are still elites who have experienced hundreds of battles?

After a pause, he said, "I think it is Du Haisheng's intelligence network in Jinan that played a huge role in this incident. Yu Nong once said that it is very likely that Du Haisheng has an intelligence agency responsible for intelligence search in various parts of the Republic of China, but he secretly investigated for a year and did not master any of it. In order to avoid shocking the snake, he temporarily stopped acting, and this incident can leak information in a very short time, which must be inseparable from Du Haisheng's huge intelligence network, and Zhang Zongchang's poor handling of follow-up matters is also the main reason for the current situation.

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded and said thoughtfully, "It makes sense, but even if Du Haisheng has a huge intelligence network, he will definitely not get such accurate information in such a short time. According to the news from Shanghai, a few months ago, Zhang Zongchang Going south to Shanghai, he wanted to attend Du Haisheng's wedding and was angry about the military purchase, but he didn't expect that Du Haisheng hated Zhang Zongchang's character. He didn't meet him, but asked his former friend Sun Chuanfang to inquire about it. As for the details, there was no way to know, but Sun Chuanfang met Zhang Zongchang for the second time less than an hour later. Zhang Zongchang's face was gloomy. He hurriedly left Shanghai with his family and guards. Soon after, this happened. As far as I can see, it must be that Sun Chuanfang unintentionally leaked the arms business of the two sides, and Du Haisheng had already expected that his attitude would anger Zhang Zongchang, so he escorted weapons and ammunition in the third regiment. When he was in Shanghai, he contacted Jinan and closely monitored everything in Jinan.

What kind of person Jiang Zhong is. As the president of the Republic of China, he has the ambition to unify the whole Republic of China. Naturally, he will not ignore the movements of those local warlords. His intelligences are also all over the Republic of China. In fact, from the moment Zhang Zongchang left Jinan, even every move in Shanghai, it was in his love. In the monitoring of the reporting personnel.

He knows these things, and it is natural for granted.

However, his speculation based on the information obtained is closer to reality.

After listening, He Yingqin couldn't help nodding and quite agreeing with his words. Then he took a deep breath and said, "This Du Haisheng's ability should not be underestimated."

"I don't think so."

Jiang Zhongzheng shook his head and said, "This matter seems to be expected by Du Haisheng. However, I don't think this person can see through it. He has more than 300,000 soldiers, but he is only stationed in Shanghai. In recent years, no matter how the war in the Republic of China and how the warlords fight, he ignores it and puts it aside, as long as he doesn't touch him. One mu and three cents of land are easy to discuss and solve everything. Otherwise, I'm afraid the end will be similar to that of the Japanese military police. However, what I can't figure out is whether Du Haisheng wants to keep an acre of land in Shanghai all his life and remain neutral in everything.

This is exactly where he can't see through Du Haisheng. According to reason, he has more than 300,000 soldiers in his hand, and he has a very high popularity and mass base in Shanghai and even in the Republic of China. It is an absolute confidant of his Jiang, even compared with Zhang Xueliang in the northeast, Feng Yuxiang in the northwest, Yan Xishan, the king of Jin, Li Zongren in Guangxi, etc. It is a bigger threat, but the other party has been operating in Shanghai for more than a few years, but it has never expressed its position, does not choose its position, and has always pursued neutrality. Even if there is any action, it is only a normal change of defense between several armies, and then constantly expand the size of the army and expand its own power.

In this battle of the Central Plains, he tried his best to win over Zhang Xueliang, but in several conversations between the two, Jiang Zhongzheng vaguely recognized the other party's concerns. If he remained neutral and supported one side to choose to participate in the war, in that case, would Du Haisheng also change his original position and join the melee? After all, the army in his hand Team, even Zhang Xueliang is afraid of three points.

Moreover, Du Haisheng also has a huge advantage, which controls the lifeblood of the sales of arms and weapons in the Republic of China.

In Jiang Zhongzheng's view, whether it is Zhang Xueliang or Du Haisheng's faction, any statement and participation in the war will affect the final outcome of the war.

But once the political positions of the two sides are different, there will be a complete antagonism, that is to say, the Republic of China will be more chaotic, and the tilted balance that the original party participated in will be restored to balance in an instant.

This is also a headache for him.

"However, it seems that he can't sit still this time."

He Yingqin suddenly thought of something and replied coldly, which was very meaningful.

Jiang Zhongzheng also nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Peifu, an old man, has already made a statement, and Zhang Xueliang has also made a statement. If Zhang Zongchang can't handle this matter well, I'm afraid it will be in great trouble."

He Yingqin thought for a moment and said, "What should we do with this matter if the students ask questions that should not be asked?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Zhongzheng did not answer and asked rhetorical.

"From the student's point of opinion, it is not easy to prematurely refuse Zhang Zongchang's request to send troops. Let Chen Tioyuan's first army withdraw from Zaozhuang to Xuzhou, monitor Shandong, transfer the troops under Liu Zhi's jurisdiction to Xinzheng, Xuchang's front line, and cooperate with the rebel army to fight against Yan and Feng's troops to support the local war. The situation. If Zhang Zongchang can solve this matter perfectly, we can continue to enter Shandong under the banner of supporting Shandong. If not, we can leave Chen Diaoyuan to continue to guard Xuzhou, and most of the rest will form a encirclement of Sun Dianfang and Shi Yousan from Shandong and Anhui.

"Wonderful, it's a good idea."

After listening to He Yingqin's strategy, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help smiling and agreeing.

"How should Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang respond to it?"

After a while, Jiang Zhongzheng said again.

Du Haisheng, a new Shanghai, really gives him a headache. He not only loses the most important source of local finance, but also looks across the river from his army, which is always a hidden danger. Recently, Du Haisheng has changed the army in Shanghai, and even changed the Security Command and the Defense and Security Bureau into a regular army. For him, this series of actions did not mean to stimulate his great nerves.

He has considered before that if the Central Plains war is over, when his army rests, he will consider encircling and suppressing the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion in Shanghai.

It's just that it's not the right time.

He Yingqin heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "Students think that tomorrow, we can express our position through the radio and newspapers, and express our strong condemnation of this incident. Didn't Du Haisheng sing with Zhang Xueliang and Wu Peifu and threaten to reserve the right to military strikes against the perpetrators? Then let's do the same. At that time Let's see how they deal with it."

When Jiang Zhong heard this, he also nodded and said, "Well, that's it. In the past few days, warlords all over the Republic of China have set an example. I, the president of the Republic of China, can't be ignored."

With that, he said, "Go and tell Xiaonong and ask him to draft a statement. After I review it, I will see the newspaper tomorrow."
