On March 22, 1918, the extraordinary extraordinary session of the Extraordinary National Assembly was officially convened!

There was no suspense about the outcome of the vote, and the extraordinary Congress passed the "Amendment to the Military and Political Axe Organization Act" by a vote of 99 to 25, changing the system of one-man generalissimo to the system of seven-member president.

The "legal grandson" was a huge success!

Sun Yat-sen's generalissimo rights were deprived.

Sun Yat-sen, Wang Hengyue, Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi, Cheng Biguang, Lin Baoyi, Cen Chunxuan, and Mo Rongxin were elected presidents.

Sun Yat-sen was so angry that he proposed his resignation from the post of generalissimo to the Extraordinary National Assembly on the same day, and announced his resignation on the same day.

In fact, he knew very well that although he was also one of the seven presidents, he had actually been deprived of his rights.

The power of the military and political axe is firmly in the hands of Wang Hengyue!

The next day, without resigning from the post of president of the military and political axe, Sun Yat-sen, together with Zhu Zhixin and other revolutionaries, left Guangzhou with a gloomy mood and went to Shanghai.

Sun Yat-sen was driven away by Wang Hengyue!

On the day of Sun Yat-sen's departure, Wang Hengyue again asked for a meeting, at which he said: "Sun Wen is one of the seven presidents, shouldering heavy responsibilities, but because of dissatisfaction, he left without resignation, ignoring the revolutionary cause and the Northern Expedition. A meeting is convened today to discuss this matter! ”

It is easy for a discerning person to see that this time, Wang Hengyue is going to completely deprive Sun Yat-sen from the military and political axe!

The resolution proceeded very quickly, almost unanimously in favor of the removal of Sun Wenjun from the post of president of the political axe.

Wang Hengyue then nominated Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, to be the seventh president to be replaced, and this resolution was subsequently passed by 90 votes and 34 votes.

Among the seven presidents of the entire military and political axe, Wang Hengyue and Jiang Baili are all in the [***] system, Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi, and Cheng Biguang have also become members of Wang Hengyue's forces, and Mo Rongxin tried his best to tie Wang Hengyue, which means that five of the seven presidents have become members of Wang Hengyue's group!

The next topic was to discuss the Northern Expedition.

Wang Hengyue first proposed that if he wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, he must first seek the unification of the military orders and the establishment of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi. Whether it is the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guizhou Army, the Gui Army, or the Guangdong Army, they must obey a unified command and complete the unified structure before the Northern Expedition can be carried out.

"The title of [***] has followed me and my officers and soldiers for many years, and we have a deep affection for it." Wang Hengyue said slowly:

"But now that we have joined the military and political axe, we must obey the command of the military and political axe, and from now on"

Wang Hengyue's expression seemed to be a little heavy: "From now on, the title of Ding [***] no longer exists. Our army is fighting for the national revolution and working hard for the national revolution, so all the armies under the military and political axe have been renamed the 'National Revolutionary Army'! ”

National Revolutionary Army!

In Wang Hengyue's plan, the National Revolutionary Army will first take the previous Ding[***] as the main force, and be attached to the elite of the Yunnan Army, the Guizhou Army, the Gui Army and the Guangdong Army, and organize it into 18 main divisions and six mixed brigades to participate in the Northern Expedition.

During the same period, troops were actively recruited in various localities, and 20 to 25 reserve divisions were formed from the survival of the fittest from the old armies in various localities.

The General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army was established. Wang Hengyue is the generalissimo of the army, navy and air force, and Jiang Baili is the chief of the general staff.

A generalissimo Sun Yat-sen is gone, and a new generalissimo Wang Hengyue has appeared!

At this time, Wang Hengyue had a new identity:

The first president of the seven-member presidential group of the revolutionary army and political axe, and the generalissimo of the army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army!

The Northern Expedition is already in full swing

"This is Major General Jun Zheng Axe who joined the army, acting adjutant general of the headquarters of the Guangdong Army in aiding Fujian, chief of staff of the second detachment, commander of the twelfth army of the Guangdong army, counselor of the headquarters of the Guangdong army, and general Luo Yiqun, commander of the Guangzhou military police."

The long list of titles almost stunned Wang Hengyue.

The only thing I know is that this person is Sun Yat-sen's henchman!

"General Luo, please sit, please sit," Wang Hengyue said politely, in fact, it is clear that there is no need to guess, since Sun Yat-sen was driven away by himself, Luo Yiqun, these officers of the Cantonese army, Sun Yat-sen's iron core is full of resentment towards himself.

Luo Yiqun and these people were quite loyal to Sun Yat-sen.

During the first bombardment of the Canton Governor's Office, Sun Yat-sen secretly ordered the naval ships stationed in the province to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered the land troops under the command of the Generalissimo's Office to respond immediately after hearing the naval fire. Luo Yiqun secretly contacted Huang Mingtang's troops, Wei Bangping's troops, and Lin Hu's Liang Hongkai battalion stationed around Guangzhou, and agreed to launch an attack on Chen Bingkun's Overseer Office at the same time. Liang Hongkai said that after hearing the sound of artillery, he was willing to lead the whole battalion to attack the Su Shi'an Artillery Regiment of the Gui Army, and asked Luo Yiqun to lead the artillery trainees to loot the artillery, and drive into the Niuwangmiao position to cover the infantry into the city.

After the appointment arrived, Luo Yiqun took more than 10 artillery cadets and other officers to open a room at the Shahe Xiwhipting Hotel that night, pretending to play mahjong for recreation, and was ready to act when he heard the sound of artillery, but he still didn't hear it until dawn. Luo Yiqun then took a carriage to the Generalissimo's Mansion to inquire about the situation. Only then did I learn that Sun Yat-sen did not board the warship last night, but personally went to the mainstay battery to direct the artillery, but these cannons were old cannons cast by Peng Yulin, the minister of coastal defense of Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty 30 years ago, to resist the French army. Sun Yat-sen, as he was tired, returned to the marshal's mansion to rest, and arranged for the relevant personnel and troops to be rescheduled.

So there was the second bombardment of the Guangdong Military Supervision Bureau.

It's a bit reassuring for such a person to stay in the [***] sequence.

But this is nothing, I was ready to deal with this group of people, and firmly grasp the rights of [***]-National Revolutionary Army in my own hands!

"What instructions do you have for the generalissimo summons?" Luo Yiqun asked as soon as he sat down.

"I heard that General Luo has worked hard and worked hard for the revolutionary cause, and I have specially invited General Luo here today to discuss the Northern Expedition."

Hearing this, Luo Yiqun smiled faintly: "Everything is arranged by the generalissimo, what else do you need to ask me for?" ”

The bad tone did not make Wang Hengyue angry: "If you want to ask, you want to ask, the Northern Expedition will start soon, I don't know if General Luo has any opinions?" ”

"The generalissimo has a lot in mind, and I really don't have any opinion." Luo Yiqun said.

Wang Hengyue smiled: "It seems that General Luo has an opinion in his stomach, but this is nothing, everyone is for the revolution." But I have a thought, why is our army inferior to the army of foreigners? For example, Germany, why is such a country able to sweep Europe? And the British and French armies, why have they been able to hold out until now? ”

Luo Yiqun didn't understand what Wang Hengyue meant.

Wang Hengyue sighed and said: "If you want to make a country strong, you must first understand the people who are stronger than yourself, so I want to ask General Luo to go abroad to investigate, of course, this fee is all paid by me personally!" ”

Luo Yiqun instantly understood that Wang Hengyue was going to drive himself away in the name of going abroad for investigation!

Before he could speak, Wang Hengyue continued: "One person's strength is limited after all, because I am going to organize an inspection group, General Luo is the head of the group, Wei Bangping, Liang Hongkai and others are all members of the group, and General Luo will take them to Europe for a good investigation." ”

As he spoke, he took out a list and handed it to Luo Yiqun: "General Luo, please take a look, what's wrong?" ”

Luo Yiqun took it and took a general look, and the list listed the surnames of thirty-seven people, who were sent to the United States, Britain, and France, and these thirty-seven people, all of whom were followers of Sun Yat-sen, and all of them held officer positions in the Guangdong army.

Wang Hengyue, this is going to catch it all!

Luo Yiqun sneered: "Investigation? No wonder the day before yesterday the two divisions were determined [***]"

"National Revolutionary Army." Wang Hengyue corrected his statement.

"National Revolutionary Army" Luo Yiqun laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I am also a member of the National Revolutionary Army, if I don't obey orders, it will be sabotaging the revolution, right?" The generalissimo transferred the strength of two divisions into Canton, so that if we refuse to carry out the inspection order, then we must solve it by force! ”

"General Luo has thought too much, this time it's just an investigation, and I will still entrust you with important tasks when you come back." Wang Hengyue smiled slightly and said:

"As for the two divisions entering Guangzhou, it is also to maintain order in Guangzhou, and there is no other meaning."

Luo Yiqun glanced at the map hanging on the wall.

On it, it was marked with a red and blue pen, which was specially marked by the generalissimo in front of him to show himself.

The red ones are Wang Hengyue's troops, the blue ones are the troops loyal to Sun Yat-sen, the red ones have surrounded the blue ones, and what is even more worrying is that there are more red ones on the periphery.

In addition to accepting Wang Hengyue's "investigation" order, there is no other way to choose, otherwise it will take less than two hours for Wang Hengyue to solve these blue problems.

Luo Yiqun suddenly asked, "Is the generalissimo really about the Northern Expedition?" Instead of acting? ”

"Yes, I'm really going on the Northern Expedition." Wang Hengyue's face became serious: "If the Northern Expedition can't succeed for one day, I won't collect troops for a day, this is the resolution of the military and political axe, and it is also my personal determination!" ”

"I hope the Generalissimo will do what he says." Luo Yiqun stood up: "Since the generalissimo no longer needs us, and we will not continue to stay here with a cheeky face, we will go abroad to 'investigate', hoping to hear the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition overseas!" ”

Wang Hengyue also stood up: "The ship to go overseas has been arranged, and it will leave tomorrow, and I have also informed the other members of the inspection team, please General Luo go back and prepare for it, and board the ship as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yiqun walked out with heavy steps.

Guangzhou has been Wang Hengyue's since then, and the military and political axe is also his, the Northern Expedition? He will definitely go on a northern expedition, because his goal is not only in these places!
