"Captain Lin, have all your people arrived?" When they met, Ge Yunfei was not polite. "My men have all arrived, and they are currently scattered and stationed in the inns in the city!" According to the plan drawn up in advance, Lin Qiang led 300 special combat personnel to Guangzhou to carry out special tasks. "Very good, there is a house on Sanyuanli Road, let your people gather in the courtyard tomorrow night and stand by, and no one is allowed to go out without ordering, understand?" "Subordinates obey!" After Lin Qiang left, the guards brought in the head of the Guangzhou intelligence station.

"Report to the chief executive, after receiving the instructions of Director Shan, we began to secretly investigate Mo Xinrong and Yang Yongtai, this is all their materials." The head of the Guangzhou intelligence station handed over the materials to Ge Yunfei. Ge Yunfei didn't look at the materials and said: "Your people continue to stare at Mo Xinrong, a week later, Mo Xinrong will receive an order from the War Department to hold a military meeting, and during this time, you can't relax on all the surveillance objects!" "Subordinates obey orders!" After the intelligence station chief left, Ge Yunfei checked the materials sent, and Yang Yongtai, director of the Guangdong Finance Department, was embarrassed by Mo Xinrong, and had been trying to replace Chen Jiongming in his attempt to peep into the post of provincial governor.

Due to the instability of Liangguang during the Yuan Shikai period, its officialdom was full of miasma and many hidden dangers. Many former Qing officials occupied important positions, especially the vices brought about by the old officialdom, which were particularly prominent in Guangdong. The government has a headache for Guangdong's political arena, and before Ge Yunfei set off from the city, President Duan Qirui hoped that Ge Yunfei would use his strength to rectify the unhealthy trends in Guangdong officialdom. After thinking about it, Ge Yunfei decided to take Mo Xinrong and Yang Yongtai first to deter Xiaoxiao. According to the secret investigation of the Guangdong intelligence station, Yang Yongtai, the director of the finance department, has a lot of influence and has always been opposed to the Beiyang government.

When Ge Yunfei was secretly planning that night, in Mo Xinrong's official residence, Yang Yongtai and his in-laws Shen Hongfei were also secretly discussing. Yang Yongtai served as a member of parliament for 12 years and was an advocate of a constitutional monarchy. This person was influenced by Western education and studied law at the Beijing College of Political Science and Law. After graduation, he returned to Guangzhou and worked as a reporter and editor of Guangzhou Daily. Soon, Yang Yongtai became famous on both sides of the Pearl River for his fluent writing, quick thinking, profound ideas, and active thinking. With his qualifications and talents, Yang Yongtai entered the political arena.

All ambitious people are not willing to be lonely, and after the constitutional monarchy disappeared, Yang Yongtai was disappointed and returned to his hometown of Guangdong, where he has been engaged in anti-Yuan activities. After Mo Xinrong served as the overseer of Guangdong, Yang Yongtai took refuge in him. The government issued a decree on the separation of military and government, and Mo Xinrong recommended Yang Yongtai as the governor of Guangdong Province, but the government did accidentally appoint Chen Jiongming as the governor and let him be the director of the Guangdong Department of Finance. Mo Xinrong and Chen Jiongming are incompatible, and Yang Yongtai has been aiming at his position, and the two naturally have a closer relationship in order to bring down Chen Jiongming.

Last year, Miao Min made trouble, and it was his idea to let Mo Xinrong send troops to suppress it, intending to make trouble for Chen Jiongming. Shen Hongying and Mo Xinrong are in-laws, so they naturally wear a pair of pants. Shen Hongying was born in the green forest, and he can only speak well when he looks like a person, but this person has a murderous nature, which forms a huge contrast with his elegant appearance, Mo Xinrong is very appreciative of his similar smell, and he personally led the troops to suppress the Miao people last year. Yang Yongtai took a sip of wine and said, "Duan Qirui is just a martial artist with mediocre qualifications. This person is firmly in the position of president, all thanks to Ge Yunfei's assistance. ”

Although Ge Yunfei is strong, the political situation in Lingnan is not something he can control. Ge Yunfei was born as a businessman, and although he had been a county magistrate in Zhoucun for several years, he lacked experience in officialdom. Ge Yunfei started by accumulating wealth, and then built a fierce army, this person is indeed extraordinary in military affairs, as evidenced by the victory over the invincible Japanese army. Commander Mo, I know you're not satisfied with your current position, but don't make a mistake. Now that the war is over, Ge Yunfei will vigorously rectify military discipline, if he grabs the handle, no one can save you. ”

"What Mr. Yang said is reasonable, Ge Yunfei deployed heavy troops to the north and west of the Yangtze River. Originally, there were only three divisions in the Guangdong Military Region and two divisions in Guangxi, but we were actually asked to lay off three divisions. But there is no way, and we dare not oppose the military order. "Mo Xinrong is very depressed." Ge Yunfei's creation of a powerful fighter force and an unprecedented tank force is indeed extraordinary. But he relied on money, and money can make the devil grind. ”

Shen Hongying said: "What Mr. Yang said makes sense, in the future, Mr. Yang will be the governor of the province, Commander Mo will be in charge of the army, and Guangdong will still be our world, so it is our plan to gather wealth in the future." With money, you can quickly pull up the team, and with Mr. Qian Yang as the governor, it will be just around the corner. "Commander Mo, since the War Department has asked for disarmament, you can reduce it. The state government demanded that the retrenched officers and soldiers be properly resettled, so they handed over the hot potato to Chen Jiongming. "It's okay, if the soldiers make trouble, why don't I do it!" Yang Yongtai continued.

"At present, the bilateral relations between China and Britain and China and France have been finalized, but the contradictions between Yu Lao Maozi cannot be resolved, which is the reason why Ge Yunfei put heavy troops in the north. I judge that the government does not have the energy to deal with the political situation in the south for the time being, so we must do something. If there is a day when the world is in turmoil, it will be the day we come out. Shen Hongying said: "Mr. Yang's high arguments are incisive, come, toast to the early arrival of that day." But they never expected that a pair of sharp eyes had already stared at them, and the end was already doomed.

A few days later, Mo Xinrong summoned a meeting of officers above the group level to formally announce the army's disarmament plan. At the military meeting, Mo Xinrong pretended to be in front of the generals and said bitterly: "Brothers, the War Department has issued an order that the three divisions of the Guangdong Military Region, including the two divisions stationed in Guangxi, must be reduced by three divisions, and the military order must be carried out. All of you here are my old subordinates, and I can't help it, maybe I will have to return to my hometown soon. As for which division to keep, I don't know if I don't count, it's up to the War Department to decide, so you can do whatever you want. ”

When Mo Xinrong said that the provincial government would be responsible for the resettlement of the reduced officers and soldiers, it was even more chaotic below. Some protested, others scolded. At this time, in a bungalow not far from the military headquarters, Ge Yunfei glanced at his pocket watch and said, "Inform Lin Qiang that you can act." One of the guards picked up the phone. Soon, the commanding heights around the military district command were occupied by special operations snipers, and two military trucks were parked in front of the military district command.

The special combat personnel wore camouflage uniforms, steel helmets, and submachine guns in their hands. The sentry standing guard saw a group of tigers and wolves jumping out of the car one after another, and was captured at a loss. Lin Qiang commanded the special combat team members to quickly rush into the courtyard, and soon a guard company in the headquarters was disarmed, and when Lin Qiang walked into the conference hall, it took less than 5 minutes. The generals in the hall were immediately stunned when they saw a group of fierce soldiers rushing in in full armor. "Whoever resists will be killed!" The special operators shouted loudly, moved quickly and took a good position, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at everyone.

Lin Qiang entered the hall and walked straight to Mo Xinrong, "May I ask which part of you are, you are so bold!" "Commander Mo, we are a special operations unit directly under the Ministry of National Defense, and below us is Lin Qiang, the head of the special operations regiment, who is on the orders of the chief executive to carry out special tasks." The special combat team, including Lin Qiang, has already swept Lingnan, and Mo Xinrong sat on the ground when he heard it. Lin Qiang said to his subordinates: "Call the chief, the action is going well!" About a quarter of an hour later, Ge Yunfei walked into the hall. Ge Yunfei is no one, and his powerful aura makes many officers break out in a cold sweat.

"Subordinates meet Chief Ge!" Mo Xinrong's face was pale and weak. Ge Yunfei ignored Mo Xinrong and looked around at the generals and said, "Everyone is frightened, for the sake of the stability of Lingnan, this move is a last resort. Now I will announce the order: remove Mo Xinrong from all military positions. Since the Republic of China, Mo Xinrong has repeatedly used troops in Lingnan without authorization, seriously undermining the stability and unity of the two Guangzhou, and killing people at will, the facts are conclusive. Remembering that he fought bravely to defend the land in the Sino-French War and played an active role in the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty, his merits and crimes were offset, and he was ordered to return to his hometown to think about it. ”

"Shen Hongying, born as a bandit, has been killing for more than ten years, and he has committed many crimes. Shen Hongying, who was paralyzed on the ground, was pulled out and shot, and then several generals were pulled out and shot. All the generals were trembling with fear, and Ge Yunfei continued: "Everyone, don't be afraid, this move is to clean up a few black sheep. This time, the Ministry of National Defense issued a reduction order, but there will be no reduction in soldiers and officers. However, you will enter the military academy for two years of further study, and after two years, you will have to be assessed, and if you are not suitable for the army, it will depend on your own ability. ”

"In addition, I announce that the country will resettle the reduced soldiers, and we will build invalids farms in Taiwan and Hainan, and all of them will be properly resettled. If anyone wants to return to their hometown to find their own way, we also welcome and award a settling-in allowance. The generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Subsequently, Ge Yunfei announced that generals at all levels would return to their units and take control of the troops.

Two hours later, Ge Yunfei's figure appeared in the provincial capital, Yang Yongtai and dozens of other provincial government officials were handcuffed, and the governor Chen Jiongming was full of spring breeze, obviously very happy. "Chief Ge, this move is very happy!" "Governor Chen, I can only go so far, and I still have to rely on you in government affairs."

"Please tell President Duan that the officials will do their best to live up to their expectations!" Ge Yunfei walked up to Yang Yongtai and said, "Mr. Yang, Yang Du has a high opinion of you, but you actually got together with Mo Xinrong and others, it's sad and lamentable." It is not terrible for a person to have ambitions, but it is terrible to have a bad heart. You will undergo two years of transformation, and I hope you can change your mind and start anew. Mr. Yang, I suggest that after you get out of prison, you should do your learning, and don't get involved in officialdom again, even if it is my advice. ”

That night, firecrackers rang out in the city of Guangzhou, and there was no doubt how unpopular Mo Xinrong and others were. Ge Yunfei personally went out and played a deterrent role in the purge of the military and political circles of the two Guangzhous. The subsequent reshuffle of officials in the southern provinces has played a role in getting twice the result with half the effort. It stands to reason that this "arrogant" approach should be attacked by the media, but Ge Yunfei's actions won a lot of praise.
