Chen Xuan was really convinced by Han Xu this time, and the plans he made were basically forced out, such as the Northeast, Nanyang, and Zhejiang, and even the first battle of Songjiang this time was to protect his foundation in Shanghai.

If, according to Han Xu's plan, we do not fall into the whirlpool of extremely fierce political struggles in Shanghai and Nanjing, the Baath Party will have a lot of time to reap the greatest benefits during the period when others are vying for power and profit, and then the Baath Party's forces in the south will be united, and it will be much more convenient for both development planning and defense.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't dare to go to the Beiyang Army, but with the Yangtze River natural insurance, Chen Xuan really didn't want to break his wrist with Yuan Datou.

Since he had decided, Chen Xuan sent a secret telegram to Jiang Fangzhen, Li Jinxu and Han Sanlin as soon as possible, and sent the plan for the Northeast to Cai Yuanpei, Li Luqing and others respectively, and called Du Yuesheng to tell him the overall plan and let his subordinates cooperate with each other.

In Songjiang, the temporary headquarters of the revolutionary army, Chen Xuan summoned a meeting of officers above the group level and told him the idea of the Northern Expedition, so that everyone could pick up the gaps.

In this battle of Songjiang, the revolutionary army suffered more than 800 casualties and more than 1,000 minor injuries, which can be said to be heavy casualties, but fortunately, they completely annihilated the green battalion that came from the provisional 23rd Concord, captured more than 2,200 new troops, more than 1,300 green battalions, killed more than 1,300 people on the spot, and the others fled without a trace.

In addition, 37 cannons, more than 120 machine guns, and countless other materials were captured.

Chen Xuan set a three-day reorganization time, eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, and left it to Zhang Jingyun and others to arrange, and directly opened it after three days.

"Yiyang, the Guangzhou Uprising broke out, good guy, Xiao Jin's kid basically took Guangzhou without bloodshed, the governor of Liangguang **Qi and several Manchurian generals have now fled to Huizhou, and are trying to find a way to counterattack, most of the warships in Fujian have also sailed over, and this kid has suffered!"

Du Yuesheng gloated.

Chen Xuan also knew that the counteroffensive of these Manchu officials was basically useless, but it was not without benefits for Chen Xuan, at least it could delay Xiao Jin's march into Fujian and create opportunities for the Baath Party.

Chen Xuan took the telegram and looked at it, as Du Yuesheng said, Xiao Jin's Guangzhou Uprising and Chen Xuan's Hangzhou Uprising were the same, and they also launched a surprise attack at night, but for some reason, they didn't take **Qi and those Manchurian generals together.

However, this kid is much more ruthless than Chen Xuan, a lot of Manchurians in Guangzhou have been killed, and the rest have taken away their property and left them to fend for themselves, and Chen Xuan still bought tickets to the capital for these hardcore crops in Hangzhou.

Now Chen Xuan is really not bad for money, he made a lot of money in Hangzhou, and there are many businessmen and gentry along the way, and he defeated Ai Zhongqi in Songjiang and made another money, Chen Xuan has asked Gu Weijun to contact the Germans and prepare to buy a few warships.

Three French warships with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons in the Nanyang have been put in place, and there are a few more, Chen Xuan's naval dream has already taken shape, and the shipyard in the Nanyang is said to be able to produce 5-6,000 tons of ironclad cargo ships, which also saves Zhenhua a lot of money.

"Wait for the news of the Guangzhou Uprising to come over, and send them a congratulatory telegram too, now the Manchus should be crazy, hahaha。。。。。。"

On November 3, Chen Xuan launched the Northern Expedition in Songjiang, counting the crimes committed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the land of China in the past 200 years, and criticizing a series of unequal treaties signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As soon as the electricity came out, the whole country shook, countless southern cities were electrified to support, the revolutionary uprising was set off again, and one city after another declared autonomy in this tide, and the Manchus took care of one thing and lost the other.

And Chen Xuan, as the first to announce the Northern Expedition, also achieved great prestige.

Just as the public's eyes were on Songjiang to see if Chen Xuan was just talking, Chen Xuan paraded in Songjiang with great fanfare, and issued a declaration of the Northern Expedition written by Han Xu, and really led the troops north.

Chen Xuan surrendered and rebelled, and there were basically no decent battles along the way, but the troops were getting bigger and bigger, and now with the expansion of Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Xuan and others, the arms warehouse in Chuansha that had been accumulated for several years was about to be emptied.

Other factories were greatly affected by the war, but the munitions industry was becoming more and more prosperous, and the machine building bureau in Zhejiang began to operate at full capacity after the engineers in Zhenhua were upgraded.

When the eyes of the whole country are looking at Chen Xuan's jokes, Chen Xuan's military operation is unbelievably smooth, Chen Xuan's army has not yet arrived, many cities have already sent envoys to contact, Jiang Fangzhen, Li Jinxu and Han Sanlin are also progressing smoothly, Han Sanlin is the most fierce, less than half a month, has entered Fujian.

When Chen Xuan caught up with Qi Baicheng, he had already arrived in Suzhou, and now the new army green battalion in Suzhou has been wiped out, and Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, also received a letter from Zhou Shumo, the governor of Heilongjiang, to understand the current situation in Heilongjiang, and surrendered under the persuasion of Zhang Jian.

When Chen Xuan entered the city, Cheng Dequan led the officials and gentry of Suzhou to wait for Chen Xuan at the gate of the city.

"Is this a torment for the younger generation, how can the younger generation dare to work as pure as the public?"

Without waiting for Cheng Dequan to give a salute, Chen Xuan saluted him.

"Dashuai is now in Weijiahai, the Northeast has great merit in fighting the epidemic, how many lives have been saved, and he has invested heavily in barren land such as Heilongjiang, how many Chinese people have been fed, and now Zhejiang is also changing with each passing day under the governance of Dashuai, and his subordinates are tigers and wolves with strict military discipline, how can they not be greeted by old age?"

"Pure as the public reputation, Heilongjiang governance, has its own Mr. Yuanpei in charge, Zhejiang's affairs, but also Mr. Bo Xun's efforts, what is the merit of the younger generation? If the seniors don't give up, just call me Yiyang! ”

Chen Xuan hurriedly resigned, Cheng Dequan saw that Chen Xuan was not arrogant, and Chen Xuan's previous reputation was not bad, and he was also very happy about this junior, how many people in their twenties can achieve today's achievements, how many people have been there in the past?

So he pulled Chen Xuan and introduced the people who came to greet him one by one, Chen Xuan naturally greeted them one by one, and when he arrived at Zhang Jian, he saluted respectfully, and everyone thought it was because the two had known each other for a long time, and the two did not explain.

After the banquet, Chen Xuan went to Zhang Jian's residence to visit, and his family led Chen Xuan to Zhang Jian's study.

"Why are you so confused, is the Northern Expedition so easy to fight? Now that Yuan Weiting has come out of the mountain, the hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops are no longer a plate of scattered sand, and your army of less than 20,000 is just hitting a stone with an egg! ”

As soon as Chen Xuan sat down, Zhang Jian scolded his head and face.

"Also, you can't go to Nanjing, now that several major forces are competing, it is a matter of time before the uprising succeeds, with your pitiful prestige, it is useless to go, and even if you don't go, it won't have much impact, it's yours, not a single point!"

"Father-in-law, I'm not going to Nanjing."

"You still want to go on the Northern Expedition?"

"Huh?"

Chen Xuan was a little hesitant, he knew that Zhang Jian was a well-known patriotic businessman, but he was also one of the bigwigs of the constitutionalists, and he really didn't know whether to say some things or not.

"Huh? You can't even trust the old man?! ”

Zhang Jian was furious.

Chen Xuan had no choice, so he could only bet that his father-in-law would not betray himself, so he told Zhang Jian about Han Xu's plan as it was.

After Zhang Jian listened, he stood up and paced back and forth in the study, and only after a long time did he speak:

"This Han Xu is a great talent, his plan is very feasible, I originally wanted to block you from entering Nanjing, but I didn't expect you to figure it out a long time ago, giving up the credit for the recovery of Shanghai and Nanjing is indeed a wonderful move, you not only have face, but also got the lining, you can rest assured, Tongzhou, Taizhou and Yangzhou These places I talk about still work, when the time comes, you send someone to take over!"

"No, father-in-law, we won't touch these places in Tongzhou and Yangzhou, as you always said, Yuan Weiting's hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops are not what we can do now, too much division of troops will only make us defend everywhere and everywhere can not be prevented, our plan is to use the Yangtze River to resist Beiyang, and when our strength grows, we will launch the real Northern Expedition, and the power of the Baath Party is still very weak, even if it has the ability to block the Beiyang Army, there are not enough talents to govern the place, When the time comes, the common people will only be afraid that they will be disappointed in us. ”

"Do you think this revolution will fail?"

Zhang Jian's brows furrowed.

"This is inevitable, you look at it, the alliance will not look at the current development of the wind and fire, it seems to be strong, but it is actually a plate of scattered sand, when it comes to interests, these powerful factions will listen to them, even with Mr. Sun's prestige, it is impossible to subdue these people, when Yuan Weiting's million-strong army is crushed, who will resist? Therefore, the father-in-law should transfer the industry as soon as possible, either to Suzhou or to Hangzhou, otherwise after a few big battles, I am afraid that there will be nothing! ”

"You kid is no one but your Baath Party, you can't look down on anyone?"

"Father-in-law, this is the original intention and purpose of the establishment of the Baath Party, as well as the development of the past few years, you can take a good look, my son-in-law sincerely hopes that you can join our Baath Party, and now we are too short of people with high moral standing like you!"

Chen Xuan said and handed Zhang Jian a copy of the information that had been prepared a long time ago, the more Zhang Jian looked at it, the more moved he became, and after Zhang Jian read it carefully, Chen Xuan took the information back and lit a fire to burn the information to ashes.
