"Wu Tingfang, Minister of Military and Political Axe Foreign Affairs, Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Finance, and Cheng Biguang, Chief of the Navy, have arrived!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Hengyue hurriedly stood up and went to the door to greet him: "Welcome to the three presidents!" ”

These three people were originally entrusted by the Guangzhou military and political axe to negotiate with Wang Hengyue, and there was no need for the three commanders to come forward in person, but I don't know why, Wang Hengyue just asked these three people by name.

"Don't dare to drive the patrol envoys."

"Which one of the people of Lao." Wang Hengyue welcomed the three of them in with a smile, invited them to sit down, and ordered tea: "Wang Hengyue has always admired the three chiefs. Mr. Wu studied in the United Kingdom at his own expense, studied law at London College, and obtained a doctorate and barrister qualification, becoming the first doctor of law in modern China. General Tang served as Consul General in Seoul, North Korea, Consul General in North Korea, Representative of the North and South Parliament, and the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China, and made great contributions to China's sovereignty and diplomatic interests."

He was like a treasure to the three people, and then changed his words: "As for President Cheng, Hengyue admires it even more." When the Sino-Chinese War broke out, the Cantonese ships were retained as a reserve. Commander Cheng sent a letter to Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, requesting that he lead the Cantonese ships to fight on the front line. Li Hongzhang allowed it, so the three ships were incorporated into the Beiyang Fleet to participate in the war. Commander Cheng was ordered to lead the ships to escort the army eastward and engage the enemy ships in the ocean of Dadonggou. Chief Cheng Li commanded the battle on the Guang C ship, his abdomen was injured, his underwear was stained with blood, and he still fought to the death and did not retreat, such a singing and crying act, Hengyue really admired it in his heart! ”

When Wang Hengyue said this, he really revealed his true feelings, and he didn't make it at all.

Wu Tingfang and the three of them glanced at each other, where did this southwest tour envoy have half of the legendary warlord habits?

"Drink tea, drink tea." Wang Hengyue picked up the tea bowl: "This is Guangxi's Qili fragrant tea, I specially asked someone to get it for me to entertain the three chiefs." ”

Seeing that his surname was easy-going, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but quip: "Serve tea to send guests, serve tea to send guests, isn't our butt hot yet, and the patrol envoy is going to drive us away?" ”

Wang Hengyue smiled "haha": "I can't invite the three chiefs when I usually invite them, how can there be any reason to rush?" I sincerely invited the three chiefs to taste tea, in order to buy this tea, good guy, used my monthly salary, my wife may not be able to scold me in Sichuan. ”

Wu Tingfang and the three of them laughed together, and Tang Shaoyi was a little curious: "Could it be that the patrol envoy also receives a salary?" ”

"Lead, why don't you get it?" Wang Hengyue said inexplicably: "I have to take care of so many things, both military and economic, I am really the busiest one, I can't just do things without money, right?" ”

Tang Shaoyi said with a smile: "I didn't mean that, this southwest is the territory of the patrol envoys, and the patrol envoys can have whatever they want, so why bother to get a salary?" ”

When Wang Hengyue heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "It's different, this is different, I'll tell you the truth, I have money, but it's not mine, it's public, I want to treat the government's money as my own, who else can obey me in the future?" ”

Wu Tingfang and the three of them nodded slightly.

Regardless of whether this Wang Hengyue is telling the truth or not, it is already quite good that he can say this anyway.

After chatting there for a while, Wu Tingfang turned the topic to business: "Patrol envoy, about our coming"

"Chief Wu, don't talk about negotiations, don't talk about negotiations." Wang Hengyue hurriedly interrupted him: "There is nothing to talk about in this negotiation, you have your position, and I have my opinion." Anyway, I won't give in, and I don't think your generalissimo Sun will give in either, so what time is there to waste? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Wu Tingfang said with some displeasure: "Could it be that the patrol envoy asked us to come for fun?" ”

"How dare I." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "I invited the three of them here to let the three of them help me come up with ideas, how to do these two Guang in the future." ”

The three were shocked!

It's okay if you don't negotiate, but Wang Hengyue's meaning is as if even Guangdong is already his territory!

Wang Hengyue didn't care about the expressions of the three people, and said to himself: "I think, Liangguang must restore the original economic order, Lu Rongting is doing this here, and now it is a mess, and it is very difficult to recover." There is also foreign relations, the war in Europe is about to end, the great powers have gasped, free their hands, and it is time to set their eyes on China again. In addition, what I want to do most is the navy, and Guangdong is managed by me, and the first thing I want to do is to develop the navy. If the navy can't be strong, the country won't be strong, but what should this navy do has to be given me advice by Chief Cheng! ”

He said so many words in one breath, Wu Tingfang and the three of them were completely confused. What is this? In the eyes of this patrol envoy, Guangdong is already his? These three of them have also become his subordinates?

"Patrol Envoy." Tang Shaoyi finally couldn't help but say: "The political axe of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army is still there, and Mr. Sun is the generalissimo recommended by the public, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to talk like this, right?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Wang Hengyue was disapproving: "Sun Wen is the generalissimo, no one obeys him, I think the three commanders also have opinions about him." What do you mean by our own people calling back and forth? It is better to settle down and develop the place and strengthen the country, which is the top priority. ”

Cheng Biguang, who had not spoken, muttered: "The words of the patrol envoy are also reasonable, but if the name is not right, it is not good, the Guangzhou military and political axe was jointly established by the provinces, and the generalissimo was also elected by everyone, so please also think twice about the envoy's words." ”

Wang Hengyue said with a smile:

"Elected by the provinces? I don't think so, the quorum of this Congress is not enough, and we can only get an extraordinary political axe and a very big president, so how can everyone elect it? ”

Cheng Biguang was silent. In fact, before coming to Nanning this time, I had already had a very unpleasant relationship with Sun Wen and others.

Last year, Cen Chunxuan, Li Liejun and others organized provincial federations to seek the unification of various provinces to protect the law. Cen and Tang wanted to replace the power of the military and political axes with the federation, and were ready to compromise with Yanjing and seek peace. In January of this year, the regulations were promulgated and the inaugural meeting was held. Cheng Biguang played a positive role in promoting the establishment of this association. However, as soon as the regulations were announced, they were opposed by the Kuomintang and scolded by Zhang Taiyan, who called him "Li Wanyong's second."

For this kind of abuse, Cheng Biguang felt very aggrieved.

I think that at the beginning, when Sun Wen was protecting the Fa, he was the first to stand up and support it. At that time, the First Fleet of the Navy had large cruisers and was the main force of the Navy. The warships of the First Fleet that went south to protect the Dharma successively included eight warships, including Haichen, Haiqi, and Yongfeng, and a total of 10 warships including Chuyu and Yongxiang, which were originally stationed in Guangzhou. On the way south of the fleet, Duan Qirui called Sa Zhenbing and Liu Guanxiong to persuade him to return to the north, but he ignored it. This action of the navy increased the momentum of the protector of the law and also greatly shocked the Beiyang warlords.

He still remembers that after his First Fleet arrived in Guangdong, it was welcomed by all walks of life, and at the same time, members of Congress went south one after another. This was followed by the election of Sun Yat-sen as the generalissimo by the extraordinary session of the National Assembly, and the proclamation of the military and political axe was established.

But how long has it been since he became "Li Wanyong's second"?

So who is Li Wanyong? He was a political figure in the last years of the Joseon Dynasty, actively participated in the elimination of the Korean Empire and the promotion of the merger of Korea, and was regarded by North and South Korea as a pro-Japanese faction and traitor, and was one of the five thieves of Yisi, the seven thieves of Dingwei, and the thief of Gengxu.

He first echoed Sun Wen's protector, but he was compared to the Korean thieves by those people!

Cheng Biguang's face could not hide from Wang Hengyue. Cheng Biguang was wronged, but why wasn't Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi like this? The three chiefs worked together to persuade Sun Wen not to bombard the Overseer's Military Administration, but Sun Wen reprimanded the three of them instead, could the three of them have no other thoughts in their hearts?

He just wanted to take the opportunity of the grievances of the three chief ministers to pull the three of them to his side.

To talk about it, Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi are both from diplomatic backgrounds, and they can't talk about them, so they just get straight to the point and talk about what kind of judgment? Just get them straight to the point!

"I have an opinion about Sun Wen, and I can't hide this from the three of them." Wang Hengyue cleared his throat and said, "So Sun Wen has the Kuomintang, and I have the Kuomintang Socialist Party." Sun Wen has the military and political axe of Guangzhou, and I have the Southwest Patrol Embassy, and everyone has the same status, so why do I have to listen to his blind command? ”

He also said the words: "Why hasn't Hunan won or lost until now?" On the contrary, under the attack of the Beiyang Army, the coalition forces retreated again and again? It's simple, because you don't have that strength. You don't, I do! I dare to fight with the Beiyang Army, and I am sure that I will win them. But why don't I fight? is the same as what President Cheng said, if the name is not right, it is not good. I took my Ding[***] to the battlefield, did they listen to me, or did I listen to the military and political axe? ”

The meaning of the words is already very clear, his Wang Hengyue's strength is much stronger than Sun Yat-sen, but he just doesn't want to listen to those arrangements from Guangzhou!

"The patrol envoy means" Wu Tingfang vaguely guessed something.

Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "What I mean couldn't be simpler, the Guangzhou military and political axe should be reorganized, find more capable people to lead, complete the Northern Expedition, unify China, and build a republic in four ways!" ”

For the first time, Wang Hengyue put forward the term "four republics".

The three of them glanced at each other.

In fact, in Guangzhou, there were already many people who were dissatisfied with Sun Yat-sen, and they called for the end of the generalissimo system and the change to a joint presidential system, but as for how many presidents there were, it was not yet determined.

Especially after Wang Hengyue obtained Guangxi, everyone was in danger, and this idea was also temporarily shelved.

But now listening to Wang Hengyue's words, he didn't take the Guangzhou military and political axe in his eyes at all, and even he had already regarded himself as the first person to lead the two Guangzhous!

His military strength is clearly put in front of everyone!
