Chapter 216 Resignation by Telegram
Yang Wei has prepared several traps for Li Zongren according to historical development. No matter how he avoids and guards, Li Zongren is destined to fall into Yang Wei's trap.w w. vm)
What happened next was just as Yang Wei learned from historical materials, Li Zongren quickly launched an attack on Hunan.
In fact, Li Zongren has been coveting Hunan for a long time, and Lu Diping, a thorn in his eyes that is not very secure in the place, has long been on Li Zongren's blacklist. He hopes to get rid of Lu Diping as soon as possible so that the two lakes, Guangdong and Guangxi can truly connect together. Naturally, Li Zongren cannot give up such a great opportunity.
At the same time, Lu Diping, who thought he was supported by the central government, became tough for the first time and fought against the Wuhan Political Branch. But just as he was waiting for Yang Wei to lend a helping hand, Li Zongren's generals had already led their troops into Hunan. In desperation, Lu Diping had to escape into Jiangxi.
And this is the famous Two Lakes Incident in history. According to the opening of the conference, the editorial meeting was only less than a month. The Bloody Mountains and Rivers 216
Li Zongren was very proud of his move, but he did not realize that so many reasons suddenly arose in such a short period of time. It was very likely that it was Chiang Kai-shek's plan to reduce the vassals. Li Zongren, who was proud, was immersed in joy. At this time, the two lakes and Guangdong were completely under the control of the Guangxi clique, and his wings that wanted to fight against Chiang Kai-shek became more full.
But good things didn't last long. Chiang Kai-shek was waiting for the moment when Li Zongren attacked Lu Diping. Now the time has come. Chiang Kai-shek began a counterattack without hesitation. On the grounds of political abuse of power and military abnormalities, he made great remarks on the striking of Li Zongren in newspapers in China.
The moment he received the newspaper, Li Zongren suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into Chiang Kai-shek's trap. Although he was in Nanjing at the time of the incident and all the actions were completely done by his subordinates, he could not escape the charge of political abusive power and military abnormalities. Now he has become the first person to blatantly confront the central government, and the situation is really not good.
Li Zongren, who was panicked, realized that Nanjing could not be kept for a long time. Since the two lakes incidents broke out, Li Zongren immediately fled to Shanghai to hide, at least he could not be detained by Chiang Kai-shek when the incident happened.
But what Li Zongren did not expect was that as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek's people immediately chased him. He Yingqin was sent to Shanghai. This shows that Chiang Kai-shek's attention to this matter was definitely beyond his imagination.
He Yingqin came here only one sentence, either the two lakes would be reorganized, otherwise the force would be taken immediately.
He Yingqin was not here to accompany Li Zongren to talk about the conditions. The sentence Chiang Kai-shek asked him to send him was very simple and there was no room for negotiation. Now, Li Zongren realized that Chiang Kai-shek was indeed ready to take action.
After He Yingqin was perfunctory, the first thing Li Zongren did was to ask Bai Chongxi for help.
Among the Guangxi clan, Bai Chongxi is the person Li Zongren trusts the most, and he is extremely smart and is known as Zhuge.
As soon as the phone was connected, Li Zongren first angrily scolded Chiang Kai-shek's cunning and treacherous deception, and then passionately claimed that he would not hesitate to fight against him. His anger was hard to express.
However, after expressing the separation, Li Zongren's answer was discouraged. Bai Chongxi's suggestion on this matter was to temporarily endure humiliation and accept it.
The reorganization of the two lakes? This is simply a life of Li Zongren. Just imagine that if the two lakes are reorganized, even if they can endure humiliation and accept it, their subordinates may not be able to agree. What's more, once the two lakes are reorganized according to Chiang Kai-shek's request, their territory in the two lakes may not be able to be saved. Wouldn't this give up your sphere of influence?
But there is another reason why Bai Chongxi's argument is that it is somewhat similar to Chiang Kai-shek. Although it is called a soldier who defeats others without fighting, it is actually a sign of inconsistency.
The Chiang army is as strong as the Guangxi clan. If it starts, neither side will be sure to win. Since Li Zongren called for help, of course he hoped that Bai Chongxi could lend a helping hand, but with Bai Chongxi's "nature", he would never send his troops to be cannon fodder.
After appeased Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi made another plan.
The reorganization of the two lakes was a last resort to retreat and advancement. Bai Chongxi knew very well that once Li Zongren was brought down, his status would inevitably be lost. If the Guangxi clique collapsed and Chiang Kai-shek controlled the overall situation, then no one present was present now.
After thinking about it, Bai Chongxi decided to transfer his troops back to Wuhan in the name of being a dispatcher. Only by controlling the geographical advantage can he have the strength to fight against Chiang Kai-shek. On the other hand, Bai Chongxi contacted Li Jishen. If Li Jishen, who owns Guangdong and Guangxi, could help, the Guangxi clique would naturally increase its strength. At that time, the loser was likely to be Chiang Kai-shek.
In his contact with Li Jishen, Bai Chongxi clearly stated that the Guangdong and Han ties were dependent on each other. If there was any mistake in Hunan and Hubei, Li Jishen was also a grasshopper on the same rope. The reason why these chopsticks were tied together was strong enough. I believe he did not need to explain too much.
Bai Chongxi's opinion, it doesn't matter who the world is. It's better for everyone to be quite strong, but the hegemony that holds the world must not be in the hands of those with outstanding strength, such as Chiang Kai-shek. Blood Tempering Mountains and Rivers 216
Plan and act without a sure battle is one of Bai Chongxi's principles. With such a wishful thinking, Bai Chongxi was not worried about Chiang Kai-shek's actions and could only end up closing the net.
On the other hand, Bai Chongxi had other plans. Feng Yuxiang was left with the unused chess piece. As long as he waited for the convening of the three Kuomintang National Congresses, Feng Yuxiang, who was unwilling to be inferior, would definitely cause some trouble. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was busy dealing with Feng Yuxiang, and his hands were in vain, which was a good time to take advantage of loopholes.
With three strategies, Bai Chongxi was calm and unhappy and just waited for the opportunity to take action. He believed that if he developed according to his own strategy, there would never be any mistakes.
However, Bai Chongxi forgot that there is a saying in this world that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Although he was ready, Li Zongren had a "chaos" at this moment. After learning about Bai Chongxi's attitude, Li Zongren did not expect Bai Chongxi to have other plans. He just thought that he wanted to leave the Lianghushe, and he was so sad that Li Zongren was furious and angry. At this critical moment, he simply gave up and issued a telephone call in Shanghai, resigning all positions such as the National Government Member and the Wuhan Political Branch "Chairman" and issued a statement saying that he refused to return to Nanjing.
Li Zongren's step completely disrupted Bai Chongxi's pace, especially after Li Zongren became angry and became angry, Li Zongren's subordinates became tough. Not only did they not accept the conditions for the reorganization of the two lakes, but they all claimed to refuse to remove Hunan.
