The plan to reduce the vassal state was a game that Chiang Kai-shek had carefully planned for a long time. Seeing that the work was done, he was just waiting for the knife to fall, but the princes on the chopping board fled one after another. This made Chiang Kai-shek feel sad and angry. Could it be that reducing the vassal state can only be empty talk?

Chiang Kai-shek, who did not dare to give up, immediately summoned Yang Yongtai and Yang Wei to discuss the follow-up plan. Yang Wei's answer was straightforward. He said calmly and solemnly: "Principal, since you can't use literature to weaken the vassal, then you can only use force to deal with it."

. ”

After hearing Yang Wei's plan, Yang Yongtai shouted without thinking: "Mr. Jiang, you must not do this!"

Yang Yongtai was invited to serve under Chiang Kai-shek as chief of staff. Since Yang Wei was favored by Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Yongtai had a lot of opinions about this person. However, the reason why Yang Yongtai obstructed Yang Wei's plan was not just selfish.

There must be a rationale behind one's own heart.

Yang Yongtai looked at Chiang Kai-shek solemnly and said earnestly: "Principal, the preparation for the Northern Expedition took many years, and it took another two years on the official battlefield. It took many twists and turns to successfully win the war. Now the war has just ended.

It is a time when everything is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If we stir up trouble again, it will be of no benefit to either the military or the people, and it will be more likely to give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of the weakness when the country's national power is scarce."

Tempered Blood Mountains and Rivers 206

How could Chiang Kai-shek not understand what Yang Yongtai meant? Moreover, the Northern Expedition started from Guangdong and attacked in one direction from south to north. There were supporting armies on all sides. But now, looking around, all directions were organized.

If the various forces that have angered are mobilized together with weapons and weapons, the isolated Nanjing will be like a lonely boat on the vast ocean, and it may become silent in the long river of history.

Regarding the concerns of Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Yongtai, Yang Wei looked disapproving. He smiled and waved his hands calmly and said: "Principal, don't worry. Although there are many forces coming with overwhelming force, as long as you find their shortcomings and cut off their lifeblood,

Naturally, we can regain the overall situation."

Yang Wei separated out Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan. These three people were the three most important obstacles on the way for Chiang Kai-shek to truly take power and complete the reduction of the vassal state. These three people had different personalities, but they could be overcome one by one.

Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army with strong troops and horses, has the most approachable personality, is a Christian, and is very fond of learning. He also has strict discipline on his troops. However, he has two shortcomings. The first is that the political direction is unclear.

The defection incident occurred. It can be seen that this person is one of the four

The easiest thing to shake is that if you want to win over Feng Yuxiang, you only need to do what he likes and start from the economic point of view, because the Northwest Army led by Feng Yuxiang is stationed in poor areas in the northwest, and military expenses are often a problem.

If you can help, I think everything else is easily negotiable.

In addition to this, Yan Xishan is usually very happy and angry, and is more scheming than appearance. He is very shrewd, but it is best to make small calculations. In Yang Wei's opinion, he is a bit short-sighted, otherwise he would not be writing.

At the demobilization conference, he easily became the spokesperson for Chiang Kai-shek’s concept of central deployment areas.

It can be seen that he has not considered the consequences of the matter at all. This person is opportunistic and extremely greedy for fame. This is the shortcoming of Qi Ren. As long as he is given some sweetness politically and then sidesteps the serious consequences of confronting the central government, he will definitely be able to

To win him over to his own camp.

After these two people, the only one left is Li Zongren, who is also the most troublesome among the three. The Guangxi army controlled by Li Zongren is relatively rich, and it is unrealistic to use a silver bullet offensive to fight against it.

, and the generals in their army are so bold that they commit "chaos" and it is completely unthinkable for them.

It is nothing, as can be seen from the sonorous reprimand of Chiang Kai-shek by his army commander during the military parade. Political means are also difficult to work. The most important thing is that its foundation is deep, and the two lakes are the closest to Nanjing. If

Not only do you have no chance of winning if you act lightly, but you are even more likely to be controlled.

But it was precisely because Li Zongren posed the greatest threat to Nanjing that he was about to take action. Although it was a risky move, he had to make it.

After listening to Yang Wei's analysis, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but tremble. Back then, Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army officially controlled the two lakes area, then moved down the river from the two lakes, and finally took Nanjing. Such historical allusions were familiar to Chiang Kai-shek. How could Li Zongren, who now controls Hunan and Hubei,

Isn't it a big worry for him?

Yang Wei continued with a serious look on his face: "The Gui system is the first and most important enemy to attack, and a battle is inevitable to defeat it."

Such bold theories made Yang Yongtai jump with anxiety. He couldn't help but interject: "Principal, it is not easy to break Li Zongren's Gui clique. Think about it. As a representative of the Gui clique,

Neither Li Zongren nor Bai Chongxi were good friends. Their military distribution ranged from the south to the south.

It stretches thousands of miles to the 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 it. From the two lakes and Guangxi to the north to Shanhaiguan, they are all the territory of the Guangxi clique. We will move from Nanjing

Soldiers are really inappropriate."

As Yang Yongtai said, the military zone controlled by Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Li Jishen is like a long snake. If Chiang Kai-shek is allowed to send troops at this time, he would really feel guilty, not to mention that many forces are watching eagerly.

Chiang Kai-shek did not want to experience this kind of thing again in his life, such as following his own movements and electrifying the field.

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but turn his attention to Yang Wei. Through these clever ideas proposed by Yang Wei, Chiang Kai-shek's trust in Yang Wei was greatly increased, and instead he regarded Yang Wei's opinions as more important than Yang Yongtai.

Yang Wei, who understood deeply, smiled calmly, without any nervousness on his face. Compared with Yang Yongtai's expression, it was a world of difference. He said slowly and calmly: "Although the Gui family is as powerful as a long snake array,

, but it is not an iron formation. If you want to capture the Gui clan forces, you only need to behead them, cut off their tails, and then take out their bellies. You only need to disperse and disintegrate their forces, even Panlong!"

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

The methods of doing things have been prepared, but apart from that there seems to be something missing. Chiang Kai-shek tapped the table with his slender fingers impatiently, and sighed: "Everything is ready, all I need is a little east wind."

Yang Wei immediately understood the implication of Chiang Kai-shek's words and said loudly: "Since the principal wants to take action, there will naturally be a legitimate reason."

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