1928, June 8, night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Jishen, the commander of the Cantonese army who was far away in Guangzhou, received a telegram from a communist instructor sending more than 500 wounded soldiers of the Cantonese army, and pondered for a long time in astonishment, only then did he realize that his actions had angered his former Whampoa colleague Zheng Yi, and in annoyance, he immediately called his adjutant Long Feiqun and asked him to inform his generals to come to a meeting to discuss the matter of raising troops in southern Jiangnan.

Long Feiqun knew that Li Jishen was facing a lot of pressure during this time, and his general Miao Peinan ignored Li Jishen's every dissuasion and appeasement, and resolutely sent a telegram with Deng Longguang, Xue Yue, Wu Qiwei, Li Hansoul, etc., announcing the Northern Expedition, leading the former Fourth Army of the Iron Army, and completely throwing himself into the arms of Lao Jiang.

Under these circumstances, Li Jishen had to reorganize the Fourth Army and personally assume the post of commander.

Li Jishen's old opponent, Zhang Fakui, who had to be electrified in the field because of the Zhang Huang incident and the joint attack with Li Jishen and Huang Shaohong, was ready to move in Hong Kong and frequently contacted the generals of the Guangdong army in an attempt to make a comeback.

At present, the four armies of the Gui Army and the Hunan Army led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are still stuck in the front line of southern Henan and northern Hubei, and on the grounds of lack of food and equipment and equipment, they have delayed going north to participate in the war, triggering continuous attacks by various groups of the Northern Expedition and the Nanjing Government of the Kuomintang.

What's even worse is that the generals of the Guangdong Army, Chen Jitang, Xiang Hanping, Yu Hanmou and others, who were originally obedient to Li Jishen's words, also began to become restless under the pull of Lao Jiang, and showed signs of self-respect in supporting the army.

After Zhan Xuchu, the commander of the newly formed Third Division, who was deeply trusted by Li Jishen, led the remnants to retreat to Shaoguan, he couldn't sleep day and night, feeling guilty, and sent telegrams three times within a week asking for his resignation, and although no one said the biggest reason, Li Jishen and all the Guangdong troops knew what was going on -- the deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel and the second regiment of the fifth brigade of the new third division, who was captured by the communist instructor, was Li Jishen's own nephew!

Many things were mixed together, which made Li Jishen, a Guizhou giant, anxious, and worried day and night that he would be squeezed out by the military and political circles in Guangdong Province because of this, after all, his hometown was not Guangdong Province, but Cangwu of Guizhou Province. Although Li Jishen started his career in the First Division of the Guangdong Army led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and he started as an adjutant general and chief of staff, and has come to this day step by step, few generals regard Li Jishen as their own in the extremely xenophobic military circles of Guangdong Province.

Therefore, Long Feiqun, who has always been far-sighted and cautious, was deeply worried about Li Jishen's current situation, and was also very cautious about Li Jishen's orders issued under his annoyance, he did not obey the order and left immediately, and after making a new cup of tea for Li Jishen, he sat down opposite Li Jishen's desk and advised in a low voice:

"It is not necessarily a bad thing for the Communist Party instructor to send more than 500 wounded soldiers of our army to Gan County, if Ren Gong is angry about this, wouldn't he fall for the communist bandit Zheng Yi?"

"At this time, as long as we can grasp the direction of public opinion, dispatch a medical team to Ganzhou in a timely manner, and then take more than 500 injured officers and soldiers back to Shaoguan to recuperate after the situation settles down, we will be able to turn passivity into initiative, and all we need to pay is a sum of military funds and a batch of medicines."

Li Ji thought for a while, and then calmed down: "It's okay, this matter will be handed over to the Quartermaster Department of the Headquarters, and the Political Department will be ordered to fully cooperate, solicit doctors from major hospitals in Guangzhou with great fanfare, and at the same time create public opinion, let the Political Department name and criticize the bad behavior of Zheng Yi, the Communist Party's instructor and teacher, and it is best to let all Chinese and English newspapers in Hong Kong participate in the report." ”

"Yes! I'll go to the headquarters. Long Feiqun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait!"

Li Jishen called Long Feiqun: "Call Ganzhou, let the negotiation team go to Yudu again, comfort the captured officers and soldiers of our newly formed Third Division, and then probe the attitude of the Communist Army's top brass, but we must adhere to one principle: we must never agree to any non-centrific demands put forward by the Communist Army, and would rather pay more ransom than give them a single bullet!" ”

"No one knows if these bullets will fall on our heads in the future! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

Long Feiqun nodded and turned to leave.

Li Ji took a deep breath, and finally felt more comfortable.

At this time, Li Jishen did not know that the news of his fanfare condemning the communist general Zheng Yi had not reached the southern Jiangxi region, and although the newspapers in Guangzhou made a big fuss, criticizing and slandering the communist troops in every possible way, the newspapers in Hong Kong and Shanghai basically narrated the facts, did not make any comments, and at the same time took up very little space.

Because at this moment, all the eyes of all circles at home and abroad are attracted to the fierce battle on both sides of the Yellow River where millions of troops are confronted.

……

……

June 10th, early in the morning.

The caravan led by Shangguan Yong and Master Deyun left Tingzhou and returned to Putian along the way they came, and the forty-five wagons on the return journey were loaded with Tingzhou native products and precious timber. No one knew that in a box under the souvenirs and timber, there was a sea of up to 700,000 yuan.

Twelve days later, the caravan set out from Putian again, bringing 3 million rounds of ammunition of various types and the remaining 20,000 pairs of military shoes for the instructor.

The entire trade road connecting the southeastern coastal areas of Fujian and Tingzhou in western Fujian is completely the credit of Master Deyun, the ninth uncle of Shangguan Yong, and there are also the three major families of Putian behind the scenes.

With the support of Li Jishen, Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai, who were stationed in Fuzhou, basically controlled the military and political power in Fujian Province, and are now constantly recruiting troops and buying horses, rapidly expanding, and the number of troops has suddenly increased to 25,000.

Today, most of northern Fujian has been controlled by Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai's troops, while local warlords in Fujian Province are cowering in Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places, and are simply unable to confront Cai Tingkai's troops.

Zhang Zhenxin's Second Division, stationed in Zhangzhou, was nominally a member of the Huangpu First Division, but in fact it was still a warlord army that supported its own troops and divided one side, and the entire southern Fujian region was full of bandits, and the major forces were intrigued with each other, each doing its own thing, dividing and merging, and attacking each other, and it was simply unable to take care of the remote western Fujian, so that no armed force in the western Fujian region, including Ninghua, Shanghang, Qingliu, Yong'an, and other places, could pose a threat to the instructors.

After sending Guan Yong and his entourage, Zheng Yi finally put down the work at hand, he needed to rush to Ningdu and Yudu as soon as possible, there were still many things waiting for Zheng Yi to do.

Just as Zheng Yi called the guards and was about to leave immediately, two mysterious figures came to visit.

Zheng Yi was pleasantly surprised when he heard the name of the person who came, and without saying a word, he immediately took Wang Huchen and Zhang Yao and strode out.
