The Yunnan Gui army disappeared in three days, so that from Yanjing to Hong Kong, from Yunnan to Fujian, the jaws of all the forces fell to the ground, and the recovery of Guangzhou made Xu Chongzhi, who stayed in Shantou, unable to sit still, before the Yunnan Gui army held the richest territory in Guangzhou, and now the Yunnan Gui army disappeared, and the income left behind made all the forces red, Xu Chongzhi immediately telegraphed the Guangdong army Yang Jinlong, Tan Shuqing, and Xu Ji's department to enter Guangzhou one after another, and then he hurriedly reached an agreement with Chen Jiongming's remaining troops to appoint Yang Kunru as the commander of the Sixth Army of the Guangdong Army, and turned Huizhou into its defensive territory, Xiong slightly became the commander of the Fifth Army, designated Meixian as its defensive area, and finally issued a proclamation, announcing that Chaoshan would be handed over to the Guangdong army under Lin Hu, Hong Zhaolin, and Ye Jusuo, and at the same time release all the Chen officers who had been captured during the Eastern Expedition, and then hurriedly returned to Guangzhou.

But he didn't expect that Yang Kunru returned to Huizhou but was resolutely opposed by Luo Fengxiang, the former Yang Kunru's old department, after the original Huizhou defenders surrendered, the base camp was reorganized into two divisions according to the conditions at the time of surrender: the eighth division, division commander Luo Fengxiang; Ninth Division, division commander Zhong Ziting. After Luo Fengxiang learned that Xu Chongzhi allowed Yang Kunru to return to Huizhou, he immediately sent a telegram to Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai and Xu Chongzhi, saying that he would resolutely not work with Yang Kunru and oppose Yang Kunru's return to Huizhou.

Xu Chongzhi couldn't help but be furious after receiving Luo Fengxiang's telegram, he ordered Mo Xiong and Liang Shifeng to lead the troops to escort Yang Kunru back to Huizhou, Luo Fengxiang was helpless, so he had to lead his troops to leave Huizhou and migrate to Shilong, before leaving, he was still mobilizing Zhong Ziting to go with him, but Zhong Ziting thought that although he betrayed the country Yang Kunru, but there was no way to do it, Yang Kunru should be able to forgive them, and the whole army moved to Shilong, where to eat. After Luo Fengxiang left, Zhong Ziting sent a telegram to welcome Yang Kunru and expressed his willingness to accept Yang Kunru's command. After escorting Yang Kunru back to Huizhou, Xu Chongzhi ordered Mo Xiong's troops to move to Dongguan.

In the face of Xu Chongzhi's strength, Li Fulin, Zhu Peide, and Tan Yankai, who originally intended to enter Guangzhou to share the pie, retreated one after another, and withdrew the army back to the original defensive area, only Li Jishen did not believe in evil and insisted on sending the army into Guangzhou, Xu Chongzhi returned to Guangzhou and criticized Li Jishen at the Military Commission, and at this time, the news of Fan Shisheng's defeat came from Guangxi, Xu Chongzhi immediately proposed that Li Jishen lead the army to enter Guizhou again, and at the same time, Guangxi Li Zongren also called to ask the base camp to send Li Jishen reinforcements, In private, Li Zongren's telegram to Li Jishen said that he only believed in Li Jishen, and that the other armies trusted him from time to time, and under internal and external pressure, Li Jishen had no choice but to lead his army to evacuate Guangzhou and enter Wuzhou, Guangxi. In order to express his "apology", Xu Chongzhi left Chen Mingshu's brigade in the western suburbs of Guangzhou.

On 30 May, the third day after Xu Chongzhi returned to Guangzhou, a unit was waiting outside the city to enter the city in Lianshan County, Beijiang.

Waiting at the gate of the city were two young officers, one with the rank of major and the other with the rank of captain, and the major shouted to the middle-aged man standing in front of him with the rank of general: "Zhuang Jihua is here to greet General Xiong on the order of the base camp, and welcome the Jianguo Sichuan army to Guangdong. After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, the captain continued: "Yang Jianfeng, who is lowly and lowly, is here to greet General Xiong on the order of Zhu Peide, commander-in-chief of the Jianguo Yunnan Army, and welcome the Jianguo Sichuan Army into the city. ”

Xiong Kewu looked at the two young people in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, his dignified general had fallen to such a point once upon a time, and he was greeted by only two young officers, who supervised hundreds of thousands of armor in Sichuan back then, and hugged everywhere he went, and now the scene...

Looking at the troops behind him, Xiong Kewu said to Zhuang Jihua and Yang Jianfeng in a complicated mood: "Thank you to the princes of the base camp, and thank you to Commander Zhu." Then he said to his lieutenant, "Go into the city." ”

After receiving Sun Yat-sen's letter, Xiong Kewu hesitated for a long time at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and arriving in Guangzhou meant sending people under the fence and needing to see people's faces, but not in Guangzhou, Tang Jiyao in Yunnan Province stationed heavy troops on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou. Besides, even if he doesn't swallow it, Guizhou is barren and it is impossible to feed so many people.

With Sun Yat-sen seriously ill in Yanjing, Tang Jiyao telegraphed to declare his intention to go to Guangzhou to take over as generalissimo, Xiong Kewu was immediately keenly aware of the danger, Tang Jiyao would definitely not leave his own troops to peep into his lair when he went to Guangzhou, so he must first take himself before leaving, he immediately led the troops to leave the Yunnan-Guizhou border, and entered Guangdong along the Guizhou-Guizhou border through southern Hunan.

Before entering Guangdong, Xiong Kewu hesitated again, Sun Yat-sen is dead, will the current base camp still accept him? He couldn't make up his mind, so he sent Yu Peili to Guangzhou, but when Liu Yang's rebellion had been revealed, Liao Zhongkai warmly received Yu Peili in line with the plan to win more forces and grasp the greater plan, and asked him to go back and tell Xiong Kewu, please send troops immediately, join forces with Zhu Peide, and participate in the counterinsurgency, after Yu Peili went back to report to Xiong Kewu, Xiong Kewu realized that this was an opportunity, in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan army is not weak, and the cost of pacifying Yang Ximin in the base camp must not be small, if they are both defeated, they will join by choosing the best, Wouldn't it be greater to get benefits, but he didn't expect that Yang Ximin would be finished in just three days, tens of thousands of heroes would be wiped out, and he would also be beaten by chickens and eggs.

Knowing that he should have happily joined the counterinsurgency in the first place, and would not have ended up as lonely as he is today, Xiong Kewu couldn't help but complain to himself in his heart. But who knew that Yang Ximin would lose so quickly, is this still the Yang Ximin he knows? At the beginning, he fought inseparably with the Sichuan army led by himself in Sichuan, and finally drove them back to Yunnan. Alas, people are not as good as heaven, but heaven does not help me; Xiong Kewu comforted himself in his heart again.

Xiong Kewu entered Lianshan in Guangdong under this mood of suffering from gains and losses. He didn't notice that the young major who greeted him at the city gate had been watching him, his staff, his army.

Zhuang Jihua came to Lianshan on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek and Liao Zhongkai for the purpose of observing Xiong Kewu and at the same time contacting Xiong Bu officials to see what their reactions were, especially their ideological dynamics. The reason why Zhuang Jihua was sent was because Chiang Kai-shek was very suspicious of Xiong Kewu's purpose in coming to Guangdong.

During the Eastern Expedition to conquer Xingning, Lin Hu's headquarters seized Xiong Kewu's deputy Dan Maoxin's letter to Lin Hu, and when Liu Yang's rebellion was quelled, Xiong Kewu's letter to Yang Ximin's headquarters was seized.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had mastered these signs, strongly refused to accept Xiong Kewu, but Liao Zhongkai believed that the prime minister had agreed to accept Xiong Kewu, and Xiong Kewu led his troops to Guangdong. Chiang Kai-shek finally compromised, but he recommended Zhuang Jihua to be the representative of the base camp and go to greet him, Liao Zhongkai felt a little contemptuous at first, but important high-ranking figures were reluctant to leave Guangzhou at this time, and unimportant low-ranking figures, they didn't believe his judgment, thinking about it, Liao Zhongkai finally chose Zhuang Jihua's ability. Since Lianshan was Zhu Peide's defense area, according to the usual practice, he should also send a representative, but he was trying to get a piece of the pie in Guangzhou, and he had no heart to deal with it, so he simply ordered the supreme commander of the army stationed in Lianshan to be his representative.

When Xiong Kewu entered Lianshan, the base camp was in the middle of the camp, and Sun's wife, Soong Ching-ling, returned to Guangzhou and still lived here, and the members of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Guangzhou gathered together today. Song Qingling had not fully recovered from the blow of Sun Yat-sen's death, and she calmly looked at Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai, Xu Chongzhi, Chiang Kai-shek, Song Ziwen and others sitting in front.

"I understand your kindness, I am a woman who does not understand national affairs very well, and after Mr. left, I have been in poor health, I still have to rest for a while, you are all Mr.'s right-hand man, Mr. is gone, what to do He has also said before, and it is listed to discuss it."

"The prime minister did not designate an heir, originally Zhantang was the acting generalissimo, and he should take over after the prime minister's death, but the party comrades have different opinions." Wu Chaoshu said embarrassedly.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Song Qingling did not dare to express his opinions easily, and said softly: "There is a party constitution, and it should be done in accordance with the party constitution." ”

"Madame is right, the prime minister created this party and formulated the party constitution, and we, as the prime minister's students, should act in accordance with the party constitution." Chiang Kai-shek knew what these people were thinking, and he knew why they were in a difficult situation, and he understood that no matter what, it was not his turn to take Sun Yat-sen's place.

"Did the prime minister have any specific instructions for the establishment of the National Axe before his death?" Hu Hanmin asked, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, originally he was the acting generalissimo, after Sun Yat-sen's death, he should naturally take over the throne, but he didn't expect that Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai, Xu Chongzhi and others just didn't mention this, although Zou Lu and Wu Chaoshu had the heart to help, but their strength was too small.

After the recovery of Guangzhou, Song Qingling had already held two meetings before his return, but the candidate to succeed the premier could not be determined, and Zou Lu proposed that Hu Hanmin replace the generalissimo, but it could not be passed when the vote was made at the plenary session of the Central Committee, so the code on Hu Hanmin's head could not be taken down.

The Kuomintang knew that Sun Yat-sen's successor was no more than three people: Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and Liao Zhongkai; Especially the first two, Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei were both one of the founders of the Kuomintang, Hu Hanmin served as acting generalissimo when Sun Yat-sen went north, and led the Eastern Crusade and the Rebellion during his tenure; As for Wang Jingwei, he is the drafter of the prime minister's will and the idol of many young people; The qualifications of the two are inseparable; The only difference between the two is that their political views are very different, Wang Jingwei is a strong supporter of the three major policies; Hu Hanmin has [***] quite a lot of complaints, and he is quite wary of [***].

The three major focuses in the city of Guangzhou: the finance and taxation left by the Yunnan Guijun, the establishment of the national political axe, and the successor of Sun Yat-sen; It attracted all the attention of the various factions in Guangzhou, and the first question was good to say, whose soldiers were in Guangzhou would take the taxes left by the Yunnan Gui army; The other two issues are the focus of Guangzhou. Running around for contacts and dark room transactions, Guangzhou's political life was suddenly enriched.

On the same day, the British patrol Ai Fusheng touched the two mustaches on his mouth, and his brown eyes looked coldly at the more than 1,000 protesters outside the patrol room, "A group of filthy pigs." "The order of the world created by the Anglo-Saxons is unchallengeable, and there is only one way for these barbarians to understand this." Bell... The phone on the desk rang, and Ai Fusheng left the window and grabbed the phone, "yes, sir, yes." I'll teach them a lesson. After saying that, he put down the phone, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, picked up his hat and put it on his almost bald head, and then put on his police uniform, and walked out of his office with his usual pride.

The Indian patrol officer with a thick turban on his head at the door of the patrol room was nervously raising his gun to aim at the demonstrators outside the door, and Ivotson walked behind these Indians and a strong sour smell broke into his brain through the olfactory system, but the extremely excited cranial nerves did not send the previous disgust signal, but sent another signal, bloodthirsty. Just like the jackals and vultures on the African savannah, a kind of born yearning for blood.

"ready," all muzzles raised upwards.

“fire”

Flames erupted from the muzzles of the guns, the crowd of protesters fell down again, and the rest scattered in panic.

Ai Fusheng smiled coldly.

This is the way to talk to these inferior people.

Let them remember that this is the world of the Anglo-Saxons.

Filthy barbarians should be ruled by noble whites.

Blood will tell them, and blood will make them understand that the interests of the British Empire are inviolable.

But Ai Fusheng does not know, all Westerners do not know, Chinese have never been afraid of death, Chinese believe in sacrificing life for righteousness, Chinese believe in keeping Dan heart and sweat green, Chinese believe in although tens of millions of people go to me; A hundred years of humiliation have long been dry wood on Chinese soil.

The sound of gunfire on the banks of the Huangpu River quickly spread throughout China, blood did not frighten the Chinese, more Chinese stood up, and the tide of the Great Revolution swept across the land of China.
