Yang Wei's few words can be described as golden words, directly speaking to Chiang Kai-shek's mind.

Although the Northern Expedition was successful, Hunan and Hubei were controlled by Li Zongren. When Chiang Kai-shek went to Wuhan, he witnessed Li Zongren's rebellion during the military parade. His military commanders openly expressed their views on the central government during the Northern Expedition on the military parade stage.

The rising tide of opinions affecting the military has exposed its counterintuitive intentions without any obstruction.

Guangdong and Guangxi are Li Jishen's territory. Although Li Jishen's lifeline is in Guangzhou and belongs to the Guangdong Army, he is inextricably linked with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. It can be said that they are allies wearing a pair of pants.

At the same time, Bai Chongxi has taken advantage of the situation and entered North China with the intention of controlling the overall situation in North China. These three forces alone are enough to divide the world into three parts.

Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan would not give up. As early as in the aftermath meeting, because Chiang Kai-shek assigned the provinces of Hebei and Chalha and the cities of Ping and Tianjin to Yan Xishan, he only got the positions of Mayor of Peiping Special City and Chongwenmen Taxation Bureau.

Feng Yuxiang was naturally dissatisfied. Although he did not express his dissatisfaction directly because of his face, he was ill and excused himself from the aftermath meeting. Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 201

As for Yan Xishan, who doesn't like to show off his appearance, he is even more skilled in scheming. If the situation is about to break out, the city of Nanjing will naturally not be saved.

This was Chiang Kai-shek's worry. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was thirsty for talents, otherwise he would not have recruited Yang Yongtai, who was not even politically stable, as a consultant.

After listening to Yang Wei's words, Yang Yongtai also nodded very appreciatively. It can be said that Yang Wei's judgment of the current situation is almost the same as his own. From Yang Wei's evaluation of these party and state elders, we can also infer Yang Wei's attitude. Naturally,

On Chiang Kai-shek's side.

After expressing his appreciation, Yang Yongtai then asked: "Since Captain Yang understands the situation so well, what do you think about it?"

Yang Wei squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment: "There are now 300 divisions in the country, and the total number of soldiers is 2.2 million. Their military resources and military expenditures are all paid by the state. It must be not a small amount of money."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chiang Kai-shek struck a chord in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek nodded sadly and said, "That's right. The monthly military expenditure alone in the army reaches a huge amount of 60 million."

Everyone understands the concept of 60 million. All the expenses of these professional soldiers are supported by the party-state. The cost is so high that it is by no means a long-term solution. There is only one solution. Although no one has spoken, but

The answer has already appeared in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Yongtai and Yang Wei.

From Yang Yongtai's point of view, when talking about disarmament, the first person to bear the brunt is Feng Yuxiang, who has hundreds of thousands of Northwest troops, and his performance at the aftermath meeting gave a legitimate reason for the move to disarmament and reduce vassal states.

Yang Yongtai's plan was exactly what Chiang Kai-shek wanted. Feng Yuxiang, who had six provinces but was not satisfied, had already made Chiang Kai-shek aware of the crisis. However, before Chiang Kai-shek could express his views, Yang Wei said softly: "Counselor Yang's plan is indeed right.

, however with this

Something seems inappropriate. On the one hand, the Northwest Army is powerful and must not act rashly. On the other hand, other parties are observing the situation and waiting for opportunities. If Feng Yuxiang is "forced" to rebel, it may cause

Many parties took advantage of the situation to cause "chaos"."

Feng Yuxiang is a friendly person, he has always been uninhibited and unrestrained when he likes, and he is also a sweet-tempered person. However, it is also the temperament of this kind of sweet-tempered person that is the most difficult to control.

It can be seen from this incident that Yang Wei's reminder made Chiang Kai-shek alert. He frowned slightly and looked at Yang Wei and said: "So, according to Captain Yang's opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

Yang Wei pondered and said: "Since it is disarmament, there can be no differences between favoring one over the other, let alone deciding the world with one statement. In my humble opinion, it is better to put this matter on the table and discuss it together."

Yang Wei's suggestion is to push the problem to everyone. Disarmament is inevitable. As for the method of disarmament, it depends on everyone's brainstorming. Even if there is any uneven division of labor, it is everyone's problem. Chiang Kai-shek can only control the formation and command.

Regardless of the intrigues or secret fights, Principal Jiang cannot be blamed for them.

After hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek was full of praise and clapped his hands repeatedly: "Captain Yang is indeed very smart and strategist. He is worthy of being a top student at the Virginia Military Institute!"

With this method of getting the best of both worlds without harming himself, Chiang Kai-shek was naturally proud. Although Yang Yongtai's proposal was rejected, his face remained calm. After hearing Yang Wei's suggestion, he immediately said hurriedly: "

Captain Yang’s method is indeed wonderful. In this case, why not immediately set up a committee to take charge of this matter."

With two young men like Yang Yongtai and Yang Wei beside him, Chiang Kai-shek immediately calmed down and said with high spirits: "Okay! Immediately send a telegram to establish a demobilization committee and submit the disarmament matter to the Fifth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the Kuomintang for discussion. Li Zongren will

, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan serve as counter-signers!"

Chiang Kai-shek acted vigorously and resolutely, and a demobilization committee was quickly established. As deputy commissioners of the committee, Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan were in a relatively relaxed mood. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek's previous attempts to disarm and resign were a trivial matter, so naturally there was no need for a demobilization committee this time.

Can be taken seriously by them.

However, when the Fifth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the Kuomintang was officially held, Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others discovered that the meeting convened by Chiang Kai-shek was not as easy to fool as before. In the serious atmosphere, Chiang Kai-shek was the first to mention

The question of the abolition of local political subdivisions has arisen.

The local political branch was a stumbling block that should not be underestimated on Chiang Kai-shek's road to reducing the vassal state. Once the local political branch was abolished, it meant that local power would be returned to the central government and the collective would obey the central government's dispatch. Although this is a familiar slogan, it really wants to be implemented.

At that time, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said that the political branch had been conducting local management for a long time. If it was suddenly removed, it would easily cause errors and affect work problems. At least it would take a while to buffer.

Chiang Kai-shek read countless people, how could you not hear the hidden and counter-intuitive elements in it? It was just a copy of the delaying strategy, but this time Chiang Kai-shek was no longer so easy to deal with, and he saw the man who had just sat on the throne of the "Chairman" of the National Government.

Chiang Kai-shek raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Each branch will give four months to rectify, and all branches will be canceled until the end of the year!" Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 201

Although this method of reducing the vassal state is subject to everyone's discussion, in the first step, Chiang Kai-shek must have no room for compromise and take a decisive step forward. Only by expressing his attitude and position can they understand that reducing the vassal state is

An unquestionable decision.
