September 5, 1923

Fulin County is located in Yunnan, near Baise in Guangxi. At this time, in the county yamen of Fulin County, a group of people were discussing fiercely inside.

Sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man named Lin Qing, the leader of these people, this organization did not have a specific name, it was formed by the militia groups of several surrounding towns and villages, in order to fight against the oppression of the Yunnan system. At this time, Lin Qing's face was full of sadness, and he had just received the news that a division of the Dian army was preparing to encircle and suppress them. Although there were several thousand of them, they lacked the training and weapons to hold the place. The people in the house were the leaders of several militia groups, united in a heart for the people, but they didn't expect that before they could make any achievements, the Dian army would come to encircle and suppress them.

This is Tang Jiyao afraid of following in the footsteps of the old Gui family, thinking that Chen Shao has not developed from a small security group to the top force in the country now. Tang Jiyao just learned that several militia groups had gathered together and were ready to learn from Chen Shao to focus on the people and develop the people's livelihood. At first, Tang Jiyao thought that Chen Shao had sent someone to make trouble, but after a careful investigation, he found that he was too sensitive. Although Tang Jiyao was very confident in his Yunnan lineage, he was also very jealous of Chen Shao's Gui lineage. Moreover, the territory of the other party is not much smaller than its own, and it has developed a large number of industries, a large number of products are exported abroad, and it produces its own weapons and equipment, and there is a lot of surplus to sell to other warlords. For this old neighbor, Tang Jiyao can be said to have trouble sleeping, and often in his dreams, Chen Shao attacked the Yunnan system in a big way, and he looked cornered. He had the intention to strike first, but in the face of such a strong victory over the two provinces of Guangdong, he always lacked a belief in victory. And the organization in Fulin County became a response to Tang Jiyao's lack of confidence in himself, and all threats must be nip in the bud.

In the yamen of Fulin County, Lin Qing listened to the discussion, and couldn't help but speak in the back: "Have you discussed the results, is it to fight or to ask for help?" ”

"Brother Lin, I mean to fight directly with the Dian family." A young man stood up and said.

"No, how to fight, this time there is a division, not to mention tens of thousands of people, well-equipped, with our thousands of people, the weapons are not complete, how to fight."

"Yes, even if we can fight, we don't have many people left, and there is more than one division in the Yunnan system, there are still many ordinary people behind us, we can't afford to fight."

"You can't force it, if the Dian family is angry with the people, then we will all be sinners."

"No, it's good that many of them in the Yunnan family are our Yunnan people."

"I don't believe that he dared to risk the world's disapproval and make a move against Baixin." At this time, Lin Qing also spoke.

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do?"

"Continue to ask the Gui family for help, it would be better if they directly sent troops to take Yunnan." Lin Qing.

"We have sought the Gui Department several times, but the other party still refuses, I don't think it will have much effect."

"Let's try, tell us the truth, see that everyone is for the sake of the people, and give us a little help." Lin Qing shook his head and said helplessly.

"I can only resign myself to fate, I'll go and prepare to inform the Gui family." After the man finished speaking, he walked out of the yamen directly.

Lin Qingyou opened his mouth and said: "We can't all count on the Gui system and organize troops to build a position outside the city to block the Yunnan system. ”

"It can only be like this, we can't afford to lose, it's a big deal to explain more than 100 catties here, and my subordinates and I are on the front line." At this time, a big man with a rough face said. This person's name is Da Niu, and he has been in Guangxi for a while before.

"Let's all go down and prepare!"

The man who said he was going to the Gui department, after running out of the yamen, ran straight to an electrical appliance store on the corner, a place that only he knew, because his identity was an intelligence agent in Chen Shao's military intelligence bureau. In a short time, a telegram was sent.

At this time, the spies of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the China Commercial Bureau had spread all over the world, and now many of the members in them were slowly cultivated. The personnel are all picked out by the children in the orphanage, and they are all dead set on Chen Shao, and Chen Shao has also played many secret chess pieces all over the world under the careful planning of James and more than a hundred senior spies, which is an absolute secret Except for Chen Shao and James and other spies, no one else knows about it.

At this time, in a small town nearly 100 kilometers away from Fulin County, one of the Yunnan divisions who came to exterminate Lin Qing was resting here at this time. The commander of the Yunnan division is called Li Yanping, an old subordinate of Tang Jiyao, born as a bandit, participated in the war against Yuan, and last year's war against Gu Pinzhen, he has made a lot of contributions to the founding of the country, and this year Tang Jiyao promoted him to be the division commander. Now he can be described as high-spirited, a major general, division commander, and a general. He also has a quirk, that is, he doesn't like others to call him division commander, but directly calls him a general. According to his words, it is no longer the time to be a mixed robe brother in the past, and he can be regarded as a regular army commander and a general, and he must behave like a general.

However, at this time, Li Yanping did not look like a division commander at all, he was gnawing on a roast chicken that he didn't know where to grab it from, and there was a wine jug next to him, and his military uniform was now crooked. Just as he was eating deliciously, one of his regimental commanders came over.

"Master, how does it taste, I bought this chicken for you."

Li Yanping put down the roast chicken in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, "Put your mother's fart, I don't know you yet!" It must have been snatched somewhere. ”

Hearing Li Yanping say this, the head of the regiment just smiled and did not answer.

Li Yanping: "You kid, how many times have I told you, we are now a regular army, not when we were bandits, pay attention to discipline, but for the sake of your filial piety, forget it this time." ”

"Master, I know that there won't be another next time."

"How are the brothers resting now?"

"Master, it's almost there."

"Continue to set off in half an hour, you go down first."

Li Yanping continued to eat again, and within a few minutes, a roast chicken was wiped out. Wiped his hands on the ground a few times, straightened his military uniform, and took another sip of wine. At this time, his guards led his horse over, and after Li Yanping got on the horse, he waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

On an uphill slope outside Fulin County, thousands of militia soldiers were digging trenches under the leadership of their regimental bulls. Da Niu's militia is one of the best equipped, and Da Niu, who had spent some time in Guangxi before, knew a regiment commander of the People's Army, and under the recommendation of this people's regiment commander, he also bought a lot of weapons and equipment, as well as three Type 92 heavy machine guns and five crooked light machine guns.

Da Niu is a farmer's son, who went to school for two years in Guangxi, and was going to apply for the military academy, but his father died of illness when he wrote from his family, and he had to come back to handle the funeral. After that, an incident happened that frustrated his original idea of going back to the military academy, and then he simply pulled up his own team and formed a militia group. Here's the thing, when he had just dealt with his father's funeral, a well-known bully landlord in the town came to ask for rent, and Da Niu stayed in Guangxi for a long time, ignoring the landlord at all, relying on his strong body, the landlord and several family members beat him on the spot. After that, things became bigger and bigger, and Da Niu could only publicize the policies there in Guangxi, and the response was great in Sili and Baxiang, and some young people also spontaneously organized themselves to resist the oppression of the landlords, and Da Niu was their leader.

Just when the landlord took dozens of family members to Da Niu's house to take revenge, Da Niu and others who were ambushed on the side were all captured. Later, the landlord's house was confiscated, and many bullying landlords in the town were arrested by them. With the money he collected, Da Niu contacted the regiment commander friend in Guangxi and asked him to help introduce him, and he wanted to buy weapons. Then things were much simpler, and with the weapons he bought, the bull quickly pulled up the team and took over the entire town. Seeing the great success in other towns of Fulin County, many people began to follow his example, and suddenly the entire Fulin County was occupied by the rebel militias, which also exterminated several criminal militias. In line with the meaning of the strength of the outnumbered people, several militia groups were combined and Lin Qing was elected as their leader. However, not long after the union, Tang Jiyao, who was far away in Kunming, received the news and immediately sent people to exterminate them.

At the same time, inside the Nanning base, Chen Shao was accompanying Xie Yuxin to lunch, and Xie Yuxin was still holding a baby in his arms, who looked to be only a few months old. This is the crystallization of the two of them, a little princess named Chen Yun.

However, the warm lunch was broken by Wang Jie, and seeing Wang Jie coming in a hurry, Chen Shao consciously said sorry to Xie Yuxin.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I have received a confidential telegram that must be submitted to the district chief immediately." Wang Jie also explained to Xie Yuxin with great interest.

"It's okay, you guys go get busy!" Xie Yuxin said indifferently, this is not the first time this kind of thing, she also knows that Chen Shao has a lot of things, and she is very happy to come back to eat with her every day. As an intellectual woman, she is 100% supportive of her husband's career, and it is impossible to cause him trouble.

walked to his office, took Wang Jie's telegram and read it, and then asked Wang Jie: "Du Yuming, the commander of the Baise garrison, is friends with that big bull?" ”

"District Chief, yes, their weapons and equipment were all bought by Du Yuming's recommendation before."

"I know about this, and I also gave them a seven-fold discount, and it is not easy for them."

"What does the mayor mean?"

"What I mean is simple, now that we've consumed the land we have, we're fully capable of expanding our territory. Moreover, now that a large group of basic officials can stand alone, they should also be given a bigger stage to display. ”

"District Chief, are we going to get started?" Wang Jie asked with some excitement.

"Well, this time we will make a big move, inform the military department, and come to the combat conference room for a meeting in an hour."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

After Wang Jie left, Chen Shao returned to the dinner table and accompanied Xie Yuxin to lunch.
