On this day, Chen Xuan was arranging the follow-up arrival of the army in Nanjing, and after the arrival of the reinforcements in Anhui in a few days, the number of Feng troops was as high as an astonishing 100,000.

After Chen Xuan incorporated the troops of Lu Yongxiang and Yang Shande, the number of troops also reached 80,000, and the improvised field of the Nanjing Northern Expeditionary military aircraft was gradually established, and it could be put into use when the airport was solidified.

Feng Guozhang's army also has planes, although there are not many, but it also caused a lot of trouble for Chen Xuan, the Flying Tigers need to take off from Suzhou to help Chen Xuan, because the road is long, so there is not much time for air combat, so it is comparable to Feng Guozhang's plane.

Air battles between the two armies occur almost every day, Feng Guozhang's planes are made in all countries, Europe, and the United States, and the performance is not bad, and the battlefield is the place where the soldiers grow the fastest, after several days of air battles, not only the pilots' flying skills have been greatly improved, but the soldiers of the two armies are no longer so afraid of planes because they have seen a lot, and even have studied some effective methods of evasion.

"Dashuai, Daxi, Daxi! Wuchang won, Wuchang won! ”

Chen Xuan was still checking the information of the troops, and Chen Guofu had already run in happily with a telegram.

"What?!"

"Wuchang has been taken, and Commander Jiang Fangzhen not only took Wuchang City at eight o'clock this morning, but also took control of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant!"

"This! How is this fought? ”

Chen Xuan was a little stunned, there were seventy or eighty thousand elites on his side, as well as the air force and armored vehicles to help, and there was no way to take Feng Guozhang so far, I couldn't imagine that Jiang Fangzhen had achieved such a big result with more than 10,000 ordinary troops, how could this make Chen Xuan and the others not surprised!

Li Qingquan didn't wait for Chen Guofu to answer, snatched the telegram in his hand and quickly browsed it.

"Wizard! The instructor is really a genius, and the student is convinced! ”

Li Qingquan admired and envied his face, he was also from the escort team, so he has always called Jiang Fangzhen, who served as an instructor in the escort team, as a general instructor.

It turned out that after Wuchang was taken by Li Lizhu, Sun Chuanfang returned to Hubei with his troops, and Jiang Fangzhen continued to recruit new soldiers in Jiujiang on the surface, sweating profusely every day, but secretly transferred most of the officers with actual combat experience to secretly enter Wuchang.

Wuchang has always been the focus of attention of the Baath Party, and the party member base is also very strong, among these party members, the gentry, big landlords, and big businessmen are definitely not a few, and they all have their own strength and territory.

These officers dispatched by Jiang Fangzhen were scattered and stationed in various parts of Wuchang, took over the guards of the families of the powerful figures in these places, and even incorporated the bandits in Wuchang around Wuchang for closed training, and these officers blossomed all over Wuchang, and there were few of them exposed with the cover of these local powerful figures.

As a result, Jiang Fangzhen was training troops in Jiujiang with great fanfare, and the men and horses sent out were not idle, and they were all conducting targeted training, and the special operations brigade belonging to Jiang Fangzhen's Central China Theater was also secretly sent to the vicinity of the mansions of Wang Zhanyuan and other high-ranking Beiyang generals to monitor Wang Zhanyuan and others' every move.

And Sun Chuanfang is stationed in the Huangshi camp, there is no way to take him, the power of the special brigade in a specific environment is no less than a strong regular army, but in front of the large army, it is a little helpless, and it is thanks to the outside world that Chen Xuan's special operations brigade is not clear to the outside world, otherwise it is not so easy to control Wang Zhanyuan and others.

February 16, 1916, Jiujiang Daying.

Jiang Fangzhen gathered an army of 50,000 troops, swore an oath in Jiujiang with great fanfare, invited celebrities from all over the world, and held a grand press conference.

"Commander Jiang Fangzhen, it is said that the president has now abolished the imperial system and restored the presidential system, and as far as we know, the Northern Expeditionary Army launched the Northern Expedition because of the restoration of the imperial system, and now that the imperial system is gone, is there still a need for the Northern Expedition for Commander Jiang's army?"

As soon as the press conference began, Beiyang's official mouthpiece, the Beiyang Times, began to attack Jiang Fangzhen.

"Mr. reporter, as you said, our Baath Party's army is because of Yuan in the capital to restore the imperial system, turn back the wheel of history, and want to continue to enslave our Chinese nation This is the Northern Expedition, and now all walks of life in the country are excited, and Yuan is under the strong military power of our Baxing Party, so I have to give up the idea of being the emperor, if not, you and I are slaves!"

Jiang Fangzhen's words automatically ignored the opposition of Xiao Jin and Beiyang, this is to take the first credit of the Northern Expedition into the arms of the Baxing Party - who called the first person to launch the Northern Expedition was Chen Xuan, the leader of the Baath Party, this first merit is really well deserved.

"As for the abolition of the imperial system under pressure, Mr. Reporter, and all those present, do you believe me? Since the beginning of Xinhai, our various parties have fought to overthrow corruption. In the decaying Manchu Qing Dynasty, how many enlightened gentry abandoned their homes and businesses, and how many aspiring young people shed their blood on the battlefield, and here, don't forget, Yuan was the vanguard of the suppression of the revolution.

Later, Yuan gave up his previous position because he was forced to join the revolutionary camp for various reasons, and the whole country cheered, thinking that the country was saved, the nation was saved, Mr. Zhongshan and Mr. Chen Xuan of our Renaissance Party did not hesitate to give up everything in their hands, and unanimously supported Yuan as the president, and supported it with all their might!

But in less than a year, Yuan disbanded the meeting, wanting to fight for his independence. The provinces tried their best to oppose the layoffs and the proclamation of the emperor, but Mr. Chen Xuan of our Baath Party still spared no effort to mediate for the sake of the country and the nation to avoid chaos and war!

However, what is our President Yuan Da doing, he has been in power for several years, signing the "21 Articles" with the Japanese and Japanese to lose power and humiliate the country, betraying the interests of the country and the nation, the outbreak of the European war, and the Japanese invasion of our Shandong, so that the Lu compatriots are under the iron hooves of the Japanese and wailing. Yin, as the head of the country, he even ignored the aggression of the Japanese and the Japanese, and as the state power, he didn't dare to say a word, which makes my Chinese sons and daughters deal with themselves!

And what have we done in the Ba'ath Party over the years? In the South Seas to expand the territory, over the years there are no less than 10 million people alive, the plague in the northeast, the Qing government. Mr. Chen Xuan, who was worth tens of millions of dollars at that time, braved the hardships and dangers, went to Harbin in person, advanced and retreated with his compatriots in Harbin City, and the factory pushed away countless orders and tried his best to produce anti-epidemic equipment, and there were more than one million living people! made Zhenhua Group almost bankrupt!

Mongolia is far from the mainland, some ambitious countries occupy Mongolia, want to cut our land out, Mr. Chen Xuan appointed Zhou Shumo, who is already more than half a hundred years old, and his own brother Commander Sun Zhiheng, to go to Mongolia, drive away these ambitious forces, and nationalize Mongolia, if you have been to Mongolia, you should know that Mongolia is not what it used to be, not only the people live and work in peace and contentment, but also the industrial economic strength has increased greatly! Our Baath Party also drove out all the Japanese forces in Northeast China, took back the Northeast Railway, and even defeated the Japanese Third Fleet in Nanyang, forcing to death the commander of the Japanese Vice Admiral, whose major general's staff and tens of thousands of Japanese troops are still in our prisoner of war camps! In the past few years, no disaster has occurred in the country, and our Baath Party has still spared no effort to provide disaster relief! The places under the Ba'ath Party are also changing with each passing day!

What has President Yuan Da done in the capital that is beneficial to the country and the nation? What did those princes and high-ranking officials in Beiyang do? The so-called can be one or the other, the country and the nation want to stand tall in the world and be respected by the global powers, can Yuan someone do it? ”

The reporters of the "Beiyang Times" were speechless after a series of rhetorical questions from Jiang Fangzhen, and the reporters from Japan and Russia were even more pale, but they were helpless.

It was only at this time that the representatives of celebrities from all walks of life who attended the meeting suddenly discovered that Chen Xuan and the Baath Party led by him had done so many great things over the years, and the party members of the Baath Party may not be as powerful as the people. The party, not even the old League, is inferior, but what they do is incomparable to that of any party, let alone a regime like Beiyang that has the interest of a warlord.

The applause and cheers in the square were endless for a long time, and countless aspiring young people listened to it with enthusiasm, and there was an endless stream of people who wanted to join the army to serve, and the Baath Party also took advantage of this to launch a national public opinion offensive.

In fact, Jiang Fangzhen's Chinese is not exaggerated, but already a little conservative, Chen Xuan's plan over the years is not only that, so many schools have been built in China to cultivate talents, and even a relatively good industrial system has been formed, the navy can win the war, and even European countries have imported weapons to China, but in a few years, who can imagine this situation!

With Jiang Fangzhen's sonorous and powerful order, the endless Northern Expeditionary army began to board the ship with high morale and sailed towards Hubei one by one.

Sun Chuanfang's Huangshi garrison was only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when he heard that Jiang Fangzhen's army was pressing the border, and there was a powerful navy to help, he couldn't sit still, no matter how proud he was, he didn't dare to take Jiang Fangzhen's well-equipped army lightly.

So while reinforcing the fortifications and the Jiangfang fort, a telegram asking for help flew into the general's palace of King Zhanyuan of Wuchang.

"Commander, now that Jiang Wei is leading the army north, although Commander Sun can fight well and strategize, but after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to send reinforcements."

Wang Zhanyuan's staff said.

"But Wuchang's main force is sent out, won't it be empty of defense!"

Wang Zhanyuan was a little difficult to choose.

"The commander doesn't have to worry, the army of Xiao Jin's rebels in Annan is still in Guangxi, and there is Hunan in between, when Cai Yi will purge the various warlords in Sichuan is still unknown, and there are also our friendly troops in Shaanxi to share the pressure, and Huangshi is only a day's journey from Wuchang, although Jiang Fangzhen is known as an army of 50,000, but most of them are new troops, many have not experienced the battle formation, and they are not the elite opponents of Beiyang, the commander only needs to leave thousands of military horses, and the main force is dispatched to level the rabble of Jiang Rebellious in one fell swoop, even if Wuchang changes, You can also come back quickly! ”
