There is another point that Chen Xuan did not expect, when Chen Xuan returned to China, the tanks and self-propelled artillery and other weapons placed in the port of Pudong were originally used to scare President Yuan, but I did not expect that these consuls in Western countries had a keen sense of smell and took a fancy to this weapon, and put forward their intention to purchase and cooperate one by one.

So Chen Xuan quickly sent a telegram to Ma Junwu in Nanyang, asking him to return to China and participate in this business negotiation with Zhao Xuechu to see what he was short of.

Jiang Zhiqing's plan to buy arms also went smoothly, it seems that Xiao Jin did make a fortune in Annan, and the large order of 300,000 taels of gold not only helped Chen Xuan clear many weapons stocks, but also finally relieved the finances.

These powerful factions in the south saw that Chen Xuan's weapons were indeed worth the money, the quality was not inferior to foreign countries, but the price was much cheaper, so they sent orders to Chen Xuan one after another, so that Chen Xuan made a lot of money, and even sent some unused weapons and ammunition stocks in Nanyang to Shanghai with Ma Junwu and handed them over to the warlords of all parties.

Yang Du was even more anxious, the stronger the strength of the powerful faction in the south, the greater the resistance to President Yuan's defeat of them, President Yuan had already sent telegrams several times to urge, so he didn't dare to be reserved.

The conditions given were that Zhejiang and Jilin would be returned to the Baath Party, and Pudong and south of Dangtu County (the Ma'anshan Industrial Base in Anhui) were also the sphere of influence of the Ba'ath Party, and Beiyang promised not to enter, and even issued a large number of orders for military supplies.

However, no agreement was reached, because Chen Xuan demanded that the Beiyang Army not be allowed to set foot in Shanghai and use Shanghai as a buffer zone, otherwise it would be regarded as a provocation, but how could President Yuan be willing to give up the cornucopia of Shanghai, although the Pudong Development Zone of the Baath Party has some interests, but the old Shanghai is still the leader of the national economy, and the benefits generated every year are enough to make people blush, and it is no problem to raise a few troops at will.

As a result, the negotiations reached a stalemate.

Tensions between the North and the South also triggered a reaction from Lian Yan, and a large number of wealthy businessmen and large landowners in China, as well as wealthy officials from Zhishi, began to pour into Shanghai, Nanyang, or Annam, and a large amount of wealth flowed out, making the domestic economy even worse.

Yang Du could no longer withstand the pressure, and promised that the Beiyang Army would take Suzhou as the boundary and no longer go south, but Shanghai must be governed by the Beiyang government. The government appointed officials and promised that Zhenhua Group could freely do business in the country and local government. There will be no trouble in the government.

In fact, the last one is useless, the outflow of domestic capital, the economy is about to collapse, if Zhenhua withdraws, then President Yuan really wants to die.

When the dust settled, Chen Xuan didn't dare to stay in Shanghai.

Today's Shanghai is the territory of Chen Qimei of the revolutionary party, Chen Xuan's verbal agreement is certain, which is equivalent to selling his eldest brother, and it can't be said to be sold, that is, when Chen Qimei was in danger, Chen Xuan did not provide the most powerful help.

So Chen Xuan took his guards out of Shanghai overnight and went to the northeast, as for the negotiation of cooperation with European and American countries, let Gu Weijun, Zhao Xuechu and Ma Junwu and the three of them grind, and now they know best what the Baath Party needs, he has no face to see the big brother who has always been very good to him.

"What do you think if Brother Qimei knew that we sold him?"

Du Yuesheng also went to the Northeast with Chen Xuan this time, firstly, to accept President Yuan's promise to Jilin, and secondly, to leave Shanghai quickly, and the provincial people didn't know what to say when they saw Chen Qimei.

"We didn't betray him!"

Chen Xuan was cheering himself up, but his voice was a little unconfident.

"No?"

"Nope! Absolutely not, you see, we are Baathist, they are nationals. The party is not a family, right? ”

"That's right! My brother still has to settle accounts. ”

"Yes, we can't drag our entire cause of the Baath Party into this unwinnable war for the sake of Shanghai alone, right?"

"Of course, there is a concession in Shanghai, and Beiyang does not dare to fight, no matter how much it is fought, it is also his own brothers who fight for property behind closed doors, and Nanyang is different, if we fail, will the millions of people we get to Nanyang still have a way to live?"

Du Yuesheng and Chen Xuan comforted each other on the boat, it made sense at first glance, but slowly they couldn't go on, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly together.

Chen Xuan has always claimed to be affectionate, but he really doesn't dare to compare with Chen Qimei, Chen Xuan's affection is divided, and Chen Qimei, three religions and nine streams, there is nothing that he can't talk to, people in Shanghai mention Chen Qimei, even his enemies will give a thumbs up, saying that he is a man.

"Ah Sheng, mobilize us in the nation. The people of the party, no matter what, want to save at least the life of the eldest brother, this time we are really helpless, even their own Xiao Jin is not optimistic about this revolution, we really can't participate in this big gamble! ”

"I have arranged this a long time ago, if it is impossible, they will not hesitate to kidnap his big brother Mei, and they will not let him be in danger, and President Yuan also knows the relationship between you and his big brother, so he will not dare to do anything 。。。。。。 black hand"

The two suddenly felt bored, no matter how they arranged and made excuses, they still couldn't convince themselves, and gradually lost their voices.

This time he accompanied Chen Xuan to the northeast to take over Jilin was Cheng Dequan, who was transferred back from the Malay Peninsula, Jilin originally had a set of administrative teams, and after the peace talks between the north and the south, he withdrew to Heilongjiang with Li Luqing, and Cheng Dequan also used his domestic connections to find many officials from the former Qing Dynasty to go with him as a supplement to the lack of officials.

This acceptance is not a blatant cooperation, but a double reed starring Beiyang and Chen Xuan's Nanyang faction, Chen Xuan attacked, and Beiyang retreated.

The same is true in Zhejiang, Yu Youren was still called back, and Jiang Fangzhen attacked Zhejiang from both sides of Shanghai and Fujian, Beiyang's power in Zhejiang is not large, even if they regret it, it is impossible to hold Zhejiang, and the reputation of the Baxing Party and Yu Youren in Zhejiang is good, so Chen Xuan is relieved to go to the Northeast with Cheng Dequan.

On July 8, Li Liejun first erected the banner of Yuan Daqi in Jiangxi, and the second revolution broke out.

Immediately, Nanjing organized a discussion of the Yuan Army Headquarters, Shanghai Supervisor Chen Qimei officially announced the establishment of a Yuan Army in Shanghai, Anhui Bai Wenwei, Hunan Tan Tinghong, Sichuan Xiong Kewu, and Guangzhou Chen Jiongming announced independence one after another. and did not recognize the leadership of President Yuan.

Jiangsu's Yuan army then went north, and engaged Feng Guozhang's second army of the Beiyang Army and Zhang Xun's Wuwei front army in the Xuzhou area, and the first battle was unfavorable, so they retreated to Nanjing, and Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xun's troops pursued the victory and launched a fierce battle with the Yuan army.

At the same time, Cheng Dequan successfully completed the handover of Jilin, Yu Youren completed the handover of Zhejiang, and Xiao Jin of Annan also ordered Li Zongren to be the general, and Wang Chonghui to be the governor, occupying Guangxi.

On July 28, Chen Qimei's Shanghai army repeatedly failed to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Huang Xing saw that the general trend had gone, so he left Nanjing and left, and the Shanghai concession authorities also forcibly disbanded Chen Qimei's headquarters.

On September 1, Zhang Xun's pigtail army captured Nanjing, and Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing took refuge in Japan.

What makes people laugh and cry is that after Zhang Xun captured Nanjing and Suzhou, he had to look at Shu and go south to recover Shanghai, Jiang Fangzhen had already prepared, and set up a battlefield in Kunshan, 10 armored vehicles rampage, and more than 30 vehicles loaded with artillery fired in unison, which made Zhang Xun's pigtail army run away with their heads and fled until Suzhou, and Feng Guozhang's army took over before stabilizing their footing.

The armored vehicles of the Nanyang Army once again made a name for themselves and attracted the attention of the whole world.

Xiao Jin of Annan immediately telegraphed to mediate, and Chen Xuan also accepted it as soon as he saw it, and responded by telegraphing in the name of the Baath Party, and for a while, Zhejiang, Fujian, Yunnan, Guangxi, Heilongjiang, and Jilin were telegraphed at the same time, demanding an armistice and peace talks.

President Yuan also knew that he would not be able to please himself if he continued to fight, so he got off the donkey and telegraphed to re-establish the cabinet in the capital at the end of September. All party officials were dissolved and the people were expelled. Member of the Party Membership.

"This is the prairie?"

Chen Xuan looked at the boundless green, grabbed the war horse that was panting rapidly, and asked Sun Zhiheng who was following up.

"Nature, this is the prairie, our prairie!"

Sun Zhiheng raised the horsewhip in his hand and said proudly.

In other words, Sun Zhiheng is really sad enough, he couldn't be promoted in Nanyang because he didn't fight, and he cried and shouted that he must go back to China despite his wife's opposition.

Who would have thought that the war in Nanyang would break out just after arriving in China, and after arriving in Suiyuan, Sun Zhiheng found that there was no war here, except for the extermination of horse bandits.

After the Mongolian nobles collided with Sun Zhiheng's army twice, they also became honest, Zhou Shumo lobbied around, and Li Luqing sent a commercial development team formed by Heilongjiang into Mongolia, bringing a large amount of grain, tea, and iron tools in exchange for fur, cattle, sheep and horses in the hands of herdsmen.

The caravan's prices were fair and honest, and its reputation soon spread in the prairie, and Sun Zhiheng also recruited herdsmen to work in Suiyuan, and built a city as a place to trade with herdsmen.

After gaining a foothold in Hulunbuir, he swung westward and went straight to Ulaanbaatar. Maozi did a fight, but old. Mao Zi's troops are too small, although he is brave in battle, but he can't withstand Sun Zhiheng's thunderous blow. Most of Maozi was captured, and a small part escaped to become horse bandits.

"Don't those Mongolian princes trouble you?"

Chen Xuan was a little strange.

"Find, three days and two ends of the search, at the beginning of the Zhou Lord (Zhou Shumo) was also careful to appease, but the effect was not great, once a few of my soldiers were beaten by these princes' family, how could I bear this breath, swept away more than a dozen Mongolian nobles in one go, collected their property grassland, distributed to these serfs, now they stopped, not only did not dare to hinder the governance of Lord Zhou, but also came to me from time to time to pay tribute - but don't worry, we all know your rules, we will not fall behind, it should be ours, It shouldn't be all of our confiscation. ”
