"Where the hell did the governor go?"

In the governor's palace, the officer with the telegram grabbed a servant by the collar and shouted loudly.

However, after glancing at the two bars on his shoulder, the servant who was being pulled by his collar only knocked his hand off quite calmly, and then asked in a rather inflated tone.

"What do you do? Is there anything to do with the Governor? ”

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, seeing that Yan Guang's rank was about to be on par with the emperor, he, the colonel of the army, was naturally not taken very seriously―――――― although this servant was only the original servant in Li Yuanhong's mansion after the Guoshe Army occupied Wuchang.

This colonel was in a hurry, and when he heard the servant say this, he was naturally furious, not to mention that he was still a dignified colonel, although he did not lead the troops, but if he was delegated, it would be more than enough to be a regimental commander.

And he, a colonel, is more than enough to get a positive third grade if he is placed in the front Qing Dynasty, although he is a seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister, but you can't fucking be higher than me, right?

It's just that just when the colonel was about to give the servant a fist, an officer on the side saw that the matter was stiff and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"What a fuss, what a fuss."

This time it was a brigadier general who came over, although he was from the Air Force, but seeing that the rank of this brigadier general was one line higher than his own, the colonel finally put down his fist.

And the servant, looking at the colonel's big fist, was afraid that he would beat himself, so the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, and the servant obediently closed his mouth.

The servant's attitude The brigadier general also saw it in his eyes just now, although he also felt that this kid was underbeaten, but now that he was so honest, this brigadier general naturally wouldn't say anything, so he turned his head to the colonel.

"You said you were looking for the governor, is there anything wrong?"

But after listening to the brigadier general's words, the colonel scratched his head and said.

"This ......... I'm sorry, but I had to be the first to notify the Governor of this matter, so..."

The colonel smiled apologetically at the brigadier general.

"So..."

The brigadier general groaned.

As a soldier, he still knows the secrecy regulations, and naturally knows some things that only a limited number of people can know. And a lot of times, knowing things you shouldn't know can be a hassle.

The brigadier general is not worried that this colonel will be fake, after all, there is a strict deployment in the Governor's Palace, and the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Military Defense Bureau, and the Guards, almost all those who want to enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion have to undergo strict scrutiny, and those with problems cannot enter at all.

As for whether the colonel dares to search? I searched several times when Zhu Qinglan came last time, what is a little colonel?

So after just a moment of silence, the brigadier general opened his mouth to the colonel.

"I remember that the governor seemed to have gone out to greet someone at noon today, and now he should be at the dock in Wuchang..."

"That's it."

After nodding, the colonel saluted the brigadier general, thanked him, and ran towards the outside of the governor's mansion.

And looking at the colonel's back, the brigadier general was there thinking curiously.

"Must be the first thing the Governor knows? What could it be? ”

Although it is better to know the rules of secrecy and know many things or not to know, sometimes, people always can't restrain their curiosity. What's more, according to the meaning of the officer just now, the first person to know this news must be the governor, and the follow-up does not matter, which also shows that...

Thinking of this, the brigadier general thought for a moment.

And after having a goal, the colonel naturally went directly to the dock in a carriage.

――――――――――

On the dock, Jiang Baili had just gotten off the boat when he was startled by Cai Yi.

Fortunately, Jiang Baili is not as thin and weak as Cai Yi, otherwise wouldn't he be scared to a nervous breakdown?

After adjusting their mentality, Jiang Baili, Cai Ye and Yan Guang exchanged pleasantries on the dock.

It was at this time that the army colonel who had just been looking for in the Governor's Mansion finally arrived at the docks.

"Governor, Governor!!"

Seeing Yan Guangzheng and Cai Ye talking to a man on the dock, the colonel waved a telegram in his hand and wanted to come over.

It's just that unlike when he was in the Governor's Palace, the colonel hadn't walked a few steps before he was stopped by several people.

"Please show your ID."

Standing in front of the colonel, a member of the Military Defense Bureau wearing a pure black military uniform said coldly.

The other guards and MIA personnel did not wait for the colonel's response, but searched his body carefully―――――― even some more private places.

The colonel was naturally very helpless about this, especially when he searched the private place, and even goosebumps rose. It's just that he also knows that this is a normal procedure, so he can only cry with a face, and he was touched all over his body by several big men in front of everyone―――――― fortunately he is not a woman, otherwise I am afraid he will not be able to get married.

Fortunately, although the search is meticulous, there are only so many places where a person can hide things. What's more, there were no human bombs at this time, so in less than a minute, the colonel was searched all over.

"Please come over."

After handing the papers back to the colonel, the man from the Military Defense Bureau just nodded at him.

Receiving the papers, the colonel smiled helplessly.

After so many things, by now, the excitement and joy when he just received the telegram were gone, and now all that was left in the colonel's heart was to hand over the telegram and the news to Yan Guang.

And after what happened just now, Yan Guang and Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and others on the dock also noticed the colonel, so when he saw the colonel walking in front of him, Yan Guang asked with some confusion.

"What's the matter?"

This colonel is from the telecommunications department, so Yan Guangzhi often sees him. Of course, ordinary ordinary trivial matters do not need to be conveyed by the colonel of the telecommunications department, after all, there are many things to deal with, but since he is here today, could it be that there is something big?

Just when Yan Guang was thinking this, the colonel of the Army Telecommunications Department had already come over.

"Governor, this is a telegram just sent back from Nanjing!"

"Oh? Wang Yaowu sent it back? ”

Yan Guangzhi didn't notice the word Nanjing that the colonel deliberately emphasized when he spoke, but he just thought that Wang Yaowu and they were still on the front line in Nanjing, so he thought that they were sent back on the front line.

It's just that...

After hurriedly opening the telegram, Yan Guang first carefully read the contents of the telegram. The first time, although it was unbelievable, Yan Guang's eyes were already full of ecstasy, and by the second time, Yan Guang had already laughed "haha".

Seeing that Yan Guang received the telegram, he suddenly smiled so happily and ......... is so rampant, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and others on the side are naturally extremely curious.

Of course, Jiang Baili knew that although he was invited by Yan Guang, he was only a guest after all, so he couldn't take the initiative to ask anything at this time, after all, what if Yan Guang got a secret? What's more, Jiang Baili doesn't know much about Yan Guang's personality―――――― although he heard that Yan Guang did a lot of good things when he was in Beiping, but he doesn't know his face, who knows how Yan Guang himself is? Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he was also very good to the people after he came to power, but after the establishment of the dynasty, he made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, which was ......... Hey, huh?

So at this time, Jiang Baili could only keep his mouth shut and make up his mind, if Yan Guang wanted to say it, let him say it, and if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask himself.

However, although Jiang Baili was cautious enough, Cai Ye did not have so many worries about him.

This is also because although Cai Ye has not been in contact with Yan Guang for a long time, it can be seen that Yan Guang is an easy-going person, especially with a good temper, even if he asks any taboo questions, usually Yan Guang will not lose his temper. Of course, if he really provokes him and is hated by Yan Guang―――――― he is very resentful...

Because he knew Yan Guang's temper very well, seeing Yan Guang smiling so happily, Cai Ye also asked casually on the side.

"Brother Yan, what are you so happy about?"

As Cai Ye thought, after listening to Cai Yi's words, Yan Guang really didn't care, just said very casually.

"Nothing, just saw a piece of good news."

Saying that, Yan Guang handed the telegram in his hand to Cai Yi.

"Brother Songpo, you and Brother Baili should also take a look."

After speaking, Yan Guang laughed again.

Since Yan Guang had already said that it didn't matter, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili naturally wouldn't have any worries, so after getting Yan Guang's permission, the two of them had already taken the telegram and read it.

Just for the first time, the two of them were already stunned by what was on the telegram...

“……… On April 6, 1914, after the Kuomintang defenders lost the land of Saner, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and other leaders, with the help of the Imperial Secretariat, fled Nanjing to Shanghai on a Chinese ship, accompanied by nearly 1,000 people, almost filled three ships. In addition, after Sun Yat-sen and others fled to Shanghai, most of the defenders in the city only resisted for half an hour before surrendering, more than 13,000 people surrendered, and thousands more left the city.

The rest are not very important words, mainly to say that after taking Nanjing, Wang Yaowu took out those means to calm the people, and at the same time was invited to participate in the banquet held by the German consul, at which the consuls of Britain, France and other countries did not attend, but later the British consul held a banquet to invite Wang Yaowu Yunyun...

Sun Yat-sen and others would abandon the city and flee to Shanghai, which did not surprise Yan Guang, because this kind of thing has happened many times in history. For example, Huang Xing and Huang Laozi, during the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army successively took Hanyang and Hankou towns, and when the troops came to Wuchang City, Huang Xing suggested that he go to Nanjing, and later Jiang Yiwu and others in Wuchang did not agree, and some people even shouted at the meeting. "The head can be broken, but Wuchang cannot be lost." "Whoever dares to discard Wuchang again will be killed." In this case, there is no way, Mr. Huang has to go to Nanjing alone. (Later, a certain movie called the Xinhai Revolution said that Nanjing was fought under the leadership of Mr. Huang, which was purely gilded, and there was nothing to do with Mr. Huang when Nanjing was recovered.) ）

When it came to the Second Revolution, Old Man Huang was more decisive than when he was in Wuchang, and when he abandoned the towns of Hanyang and Hankou in Wuchang, Old Man Huang went to Nanjing. But when he was in Nanjing, the war had just been going on for a short time, and just because the battle situation was unfavorable, Old Man Huang left by himself...

And after Mr. Huang left, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Division in Nanjing City once again announced their reading power, and they held out alone in Nanjing City for more than a month, which is the reason why the Second Revolution lasted for two or three months, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be less than a month, and the so-called Second Revolution will be declared over.

Similarly, it is precisely because of the above two deeds that Yan Guang firmly believes that when the war situation is unfavorable, the Kuomintang in Nanjing will definitely find a chance to escape.

Of course, Sun Yat-sen would leave Nanjing on his own ship, which was also expected by Yan Guang. The reason is very simple, because the relationship between Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others' alliance (Kuomintang) and Yue himself is really good, especially Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and the Black Dragon Society, which is also a pivotal non-governmental organization in Yueben, has a very good relationship, and Toushan Man, Uchida Ryohei and others are close friends, in this case, Sun Yat-sen will definitely ask for help from himself, and he himself?

In other places, he will definitely make excuses, but in this matter, he will take it seriously, after all, the relationship between himself and Sun Yat-sen is too good. Moreover, keeping the Kuomintang card is also very useful to Yue himself. After all, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, especially their alliance will be very well-established in the south, maybe when will they be useful?

And Yan Guang, letting Sun Yat-sen go is also something that Yan Guang acquiesces in.

Otherwise, with the Sichuan Navy Division and the Beiyang Fleet, although the two together will not be able to fight against the Yueben Navy, if they just want to intercept Sun Yat-sen and his party―――――― Sun Yat-sen will definitely not be able to Nanjing.

And Yan Guang will let Sun Yat-sen and them leave, also because they are hot potatoes.

There is no way, Sun Yat-sen's prestige in the country is very high, quite high, of course, it is not as high as after the myth of the two parties in later generations, but it is not easy to move.

Even if Yan Guang can take down Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, what should he do? Acquittal? Or imprisonment or outright death? The former is better to just let them go to avoid trouble, and the latter two? No matter how you do it, it's a thankless task...

Therefore, when the siege troops attacked Nanjing, Yan Guang had already sent a telegram informing Wang Yaowu, Liu Guanxiong, and He Wenjun that if Sun Yat-sen and his entourage wanted to go, they should not be hindered whether they were taking the water road or the dry road, and let them leave as soon as possible, and it was best to leave China as soon as possible...

It was precisely because of such a telegram that when they saw the three passenger ships full of Kuomintang, He Wenjun and Liu Guanxiong let them go...

After reading the contents of the telegram, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili quickly understood why Yan Guang was so happy to laugh......... Laughing so wildly...

The reason is simple, because in China, Yan Guang no longer has any opponents. The rest of the warlords, big and small? Under the pressure of Yan Guang, he could only follow closely, and he definitely didn't dare to have the slightest idea of resisting.

Because after integrating the remnants of Beiyang's military strength, even if the remaining provincial overseers are all united, Yan Guang has an overwhelming advantage over them―――――― in fact, it is the same if Beiyang is not integrated...

Since Beiyang has been defeated, the Kuomintang has also been defeated, and the remaining warlords, big and small, are not Yan Guang's opponents, it is obvious that the future lord of China will definitely be Yan Guang. After understanding this, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili stepped forward to say hello.

And the people on the dock who learned the truth of the matter from Cai Yi and Jiang Baili's words of joy also came up one by one with smiling faces.

If he was talking about it, seeing so many orange peel faces grinning and smiling at himself around him, I am afraid that Yan Guang would feel disgusted, especially when many people in western Zhejiang were fighting with their grandfathers, and even grandfathers, but they still looked smiling.

But nowadays...

After being flattered by the people around him for a while, Yan Guang was really a little fluttery, and even those old faces with orange peel that were originally disgusting, as well as those sneers that were also disgusting after being matched with old faces, were not so disgusting in Yan Guang's eyes...

――――――――――

After learning the news of the defeat of the Kuomintang, not only the gentry and officials in the city, but also the officers and soldiers stationed in the city became excited. Many people even kicked up the guy in their hands and fired directly into the sky. If this kind of behavior is in peacetime, not to mention the commanders in the army, I am afraid that even the gendarmerie will come to teach them a lesson.

But now, at such a festive time, whether it is the commander of the army or the gendarmes who always have a straight face, one by one they have turned a blind eye...

It's like during the Chinese New Year, if it's in normal times, someone has nothing to do (no marriage and no business) to light firecrackers to play, there will definitely be people scolding, but if it's the New Year, even if someone sets off firecrackers in the morning, no matter how you scold in your heart, it's impossible to stop people, this kind of thing, even if the soldiers are firing guns into the sky, no one will stop them, even if they use Madsen and Makqin, not Mauser G98 and Browning―――――― of course, Those guys with 40mm runner-type grenade launchers who wanted to fire grenades into the sky were definitely stopped at the first time, and while stopping them, the surrounding soldiers also beat these guys together with the commander and the gendarmerie ...

Big brother, this is a grenade, this thing is thrown into the sky, in case it falls and hits somewhere―――――― it is definitely a sure thing, especially since there are so many houses around, and many people have come back after the war, if there is really that grenade without blinking, maybe it will be full of people, and according to the population of Wuchang, the probability of this kind of thing happening is really not small at all...

Not to mention those who wanted to fire grenades into the sky, they were beaten by their comrades-in-arms and gendarmerie around them, and they didn't even know their own mothers, and after the news of the defeat of the Kuomintang and their escape from Nanjing, or even from Shanghai, came out, the news went straight to the headlines of all newspapers.

The provincial overseers and consuls of various countries also approached Yan Guang one after another to express their congratulations...

Of course, the mentality of these people is somewhat complicated.

Those foreign devils are okay to say, although some of them are inclined to Beiyang, some are inclined to the Kuomintang, and only the Germans are inclined to Yan Guang. But in general, they still want China to remain in a stable state so that they can do business in China―――――― of course, if the country can be rotten all the time, weak, even weak, it would be better if they could sign any treaty at will.

But in general, the situation in China is stable, no matter who it is, it is good for everyone, and as for the situation is stable, surely in terms of arms?

In the past, there would definitely be a large order for the demand for arms, and there would definitely be a share of the provincial overseers, but the real big one was Yuan Shikai from Beiyang, after all, he was the only one who had the money to buy weapons, and Yan Guang?

Although Yan Guang also built the Sichuan Arsenal in Sichuan, it could provide armaments and ammunition for the Nationalist Army. However, after the establishment of the new political axe, a large-scale expansion of the army is absolutely inevitable, after all, the existing National Social Army only has 15 divisions, plus Beiyang is only more than 20, so the troops will definitely not be able to control the whole of China―――――― more than 20 divisions, and one province is not enough to divide it...

Therefore, the expansion of the army is an inevitable thing, at present, it is difficult to say how many troops Yan Guang will expand after taking power, but according to the number of China's population and territorial area, coupled with the threat of Russia and Yueben, this expansion will definitely not be a minority, so the foreign devils are quite assured―――――― not to mention that in the early stage of the European War, that is, before the First World War, eighty percent of the Chinese [***] fire market was German, until after the European War, the Germans could not transport the arms, and other European powers were not interested, China's arms market was only occupied by himself.

So there is no pressure on the Europeans in this regard at all, but opium...

What Europeans are most worried about today is what if opium is banned, as is the case with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although opium is no longer the main export to China, it is still very profitable.

Although Yan Guang did not ban the operation of opium in Sichuan during the Sichuan period, if one day Yan Guang really banned opium in China...

"God forbid, it's better for this to happen before the outbreak of the war in Europe, so that we can solve this problem, and if it happens later―――――― then we will have to be sorry for the opium dealers..."

As for the provincial overseers? They don't have as much sentimentality as foreign devils, but they also know one thing, when Beiyang and the Kuomintang are all gone, China will not have the power to stop Yan Guang.

I am afraid that the current China will be even more forbidden than at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they will no longer be the prestige of the Tu Emperor of the past...

(To be continued)
