said in the previous episode: This question made Zhang Zhizhong very embarrassed and made him realize it suddenly. Why did they receive such treatment when they arrived at , Peking ? It turned out that the secret of going to Fenghua before he came to Peking had been learned by the CCP. He secretly admired the high efficiency of the CCP’s intelligence work.
The Central Intelligence Department has indeed obtained accurate information in this regard. In mid- and late March, the Shanghai Intelligence System obtained the content of Zhang Zhizhong's conversation with Xikou and Chiang Kai-shek . As soon as Jiang saw Zhang, he asked: Are you here to force me to leave? I will never leave, I will not be threatened in my life.
Zhang Zhizhong asked Chiang Kai-shek to pay attention to the lessons learned from military and political failures in the past, and now we should not be stubborn to the end and make mistakes again and again. If the peace talks are successful, you can still save some strength.
Chiang Kai-shek replied: I admit my mistakes in the past, but now there is no hope for peace, and the Communist Party is basically insincere. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi must fail. Chiang Kai-shek also called the Guizhou faction a usurpation movement and criticized the Americans for opposing him. Chiang Kai-shek said: Not only can he not cooperate with the Guangxi clan, but Zhang Zhizhong and others are Chiang's direct descendants, and they cannot participate in the Guangxi clan peace movement.

Zhang Zhizhong answered: The Guangxi clique is part of the Kuomintang in any case. Today's peace movement of the Guangxi clique is still helping President Chiang. If Li Zongren leaves and the Communist army drives across the river, what will the president? Zhang Zhizhong also said: Chen Cheng , Tang Enbo said that it is a scam that the Kuomintang army can continue to fight. Therefore, today the president should help the Guangxi clique and not restrain it. We should still participate in the Nanjing government peace talks movement. If the Guangxi clique is successful, it will be the success of the party and the president. Finally, Zhang Zhizhong advised Chiang Kai-shek to leave Fenghua to benefit the Nanjing government and hold peace talks with the CCP. Jiang promised to fully consider it. However, he also said that he would never go to the United States.

Li Kenong immediately reported to Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai after receiving the information about Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Zhizhong's secret talks in Xikou, Zhejiang. The Central Committee decided: I should warn Zhang Zhizhong's activities. Zhang Zhizhong knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly explained to Zhou Enlai: This was his last resort. When he was in Nanjing, in order to understand Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards peace talks, he went to Fenghua to meet Chiang Kai-shek on March 3. Before coming to Peking, Zhang Zhizhong had a peaceful talk case. Considering such a major event, Chiang Kai-shek had to nod, so he went to Fenghua Xikou again on March 29.
Zhou Enlai did not care much about himself. After listening to Zhang Zhizhong's explanation, he talked about other issues.
In the first half of April, representatives of both sides held extensive negotiations. We mainly exchanged opinions on the issue of war criminals and exchanged views with the People's Liberation Army on the issue of crossing the river. During this period, Li Kenong further grasped the inside story of the Kuomintang government on the issue of peace talks, which made the CCP delegation take the initiative in the negotiations.
First of all, the Central Intelligence Department learned that Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren were consistent in preventing the People's Liberation Army from crossing the river. Chiang Kai-shek planned to govern the river, and Li Zongren hoped that the Communist army would not cross the river during the negotiations.
Second, the Central Intelligence Department learned that Chiang Kai-shek was trying his best to limit Li Zongren's peace talks. According to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee and the Central Political Conference held meetings in Guangzhou, strictly restricting the power of the Zhang Zhizhong peace talks delegation. Except for dividing the river and governing one point, all other conditions must be approved by the Zhongchanghui and Zhongzhenghui.
The Central Standing Committee of the Kuomintang also discussed issues such as continuing to fight, wartime barriers, and retaining the last base.
Third, the Central Intelligence Department learned: the current situation and political trends of the leader of the Guangxi clique.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi have considered achieving local peace. However, due to internal and external factors, there is currently no determination to achieve local peace.
The US government and Chiang Kai-shek at Xikou are two major pressures to stop Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's local peace plans. The former uses temptation, while the latter uses threats.
Tang Enbo was directly commanded by Xikou, and Gu Zhutong not only obeyed Li Zongren's Nanjing government, but also the Kuomintang spies stepped up their activities. The power of the Nanjing Guangxi clique was not enough to respond and was in extreme contradiction and wavering.
Gu Zhutong
Fourth, the Central Intelligence Department learned that the United States is putting pressure to prevent the Kuomintang government from surrendering. Stu Leiden , recently warned the representatives of the Kuomintang government that if the National Government breaks up peace and peace with independence, the United States will continue to support the Kuomintang to the greatest extent with moral relations. If the Kuomintang accepts peace like the CCP’s surrender because of its temporary strength, the United States will stop supporting Li Zongren.
During the negotiations, Li Kenong also passed Jin Shan, the adviser to the Kuomintang delegation, directly grasped all the secrets of the delegation, so that the CCP delegation knew the movements of its negotiating opponents and always held the initiative on the negotiating table.
The story of this episode is over, and the story of Li Kenong will continue to be told tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to leave messages and comments in the comment area.
