After eliminating the two armies of Hong Zhaolin and Lin Hu and occupying Chaoshan, the first army of the East Road thieves rested in Jieyang for 10 days. It was used to restore the physical strength of officers and soldiers and to reorganize more than 10,000 prisoners. After a rough selection, about 10,000 men were broken up and integrated into the troops, with an average of 2,500 men per brigade. After the completion of the initial reorganization, the total strength of the First Army is close to 30,000, and the four brigades under its jurisdiction each have three regiments of about 6,000 men, which is actually close to the establishment of divisions.

On January 15, 1923, Chen Jiongming sent a telegram to the field, and the troops withdrew from Guangzhou to defend the Huizhou base area, and some of them retreated to the Shaoguan area in the north, so as to liaise with Sun Chuanfang's troops sent by Wu Peifu to aid Fujian and have arrived in Jiangxi. From June 15, 1922, when Chen Jiongming sent a telegram to invite Sun Yat-sen to go to the wilderness, to January 15, 1923, when Chen Jiongming himself telegraphed to go to the wilderness, it was only seven months, and it was only five full months since he returned to Guangzhou on August 15.

Historically, Chen Jiongming's lower field was just a trick of retreating, after getting the support of the northern direct family and the British authorities in Hong Kong, he instigated his subordinates to rebel again in May 1923, and in 1925, after Chiang Kai-shek's first Eastern Crusade, he sent a telegram to the field again, and then rebelled, and finally after Chiang Kai-shek's Second Eastern Crusade, Chen Jiongming, who caused trouble, finally withdrew from the military stage, but Chen Jiongming, who lost his strength, was still unwilling to be lonely, and united Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang in Hong Kong to establish the China Zhi Gong Party. Until the 21st century, it is still one of the vases in Chinese mainland, which is really glorious!

However, in this time and space, due to Luo Yaoguo's irresponsible butterfly effect, Chen Jiongming's favorite generals Hong Baozi and Lin Hu have been exhausted, and only Ye Ju and Yang Kunru's four brigades who retreated to Huizhou have more than 10,000 troops. Ye and Yang are both Chen Jiongming's Dongjiang hometowns, Ye Ju is a native of Huiyang County, graduated from the Jiangben School, and once served in the warlord Long Jiguang's department, after the fall of Long Jiguang, he took refuge in Chen Jiongming and became his number one backbone of Xinfu, and served as the chief of staff after Chen Jiongming's rebellion. Yang Kunru was born in the green forest, is a native of Boluo County, Guangdong, his bandit troops were incorporated by the Gui warlords, stationed in Chaoshan, in 1918 went to southern Fujian to seek refuge with Chen Jiongming, and was trusted all the way up, and was also one of Chen Jiongming's henchmen, who contributed a lot in the 6.16 rebellion.

On January 15, Chen Jiongming sent a telegram to the publication, and then the Yunnan and Guizhou armies entered Guangzhou, who would have thought that the Yunnan and Guizhou armies were worse than Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army, the Yunnan army was a lost dog, and the Gui army was like a bandit, especially after the Gui army Shen Hongying's division entered Guangzhou, he actually launched a mutiny, and detained Wei Bangping, the commander of the third division of the Guangdong army who rebelled and submitted to Sun Yat-sen, and at the same time, Wei Bangping's third division of the Guangdong army was also disarmed by Liu Zhenhuan of the Gui army! Being troubled by the Yunnan and Guizhou armies, Sun Yat-sen's plan to return to Guangzhou had to be postponed.

"!" Chiang Kai-shek's signboard-like shouting and scolding resounded through the military headquarters of the First Army, and Luo Yaoguo, who was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek to discuss matters, could be heard from a distance in the corridor.

"Why should Jiegong be like this? It's not worth it to be angry for those lost dogs. Chief of Staff He Yingqin was worried that Chiang Kai-shek would ruin the plan drawn up in advance, so he persuaded him bitterly on the side, saw Luo Yaoguo walking in, and hurriedly greeted: "Fuwen is here, Jiegong, let's listen to Fuwen's opinion, right?" He's your most trusted subordinate. ”

Since the Battle of Wusong Mountain, Chiang Kai-shek has put the high hat of "the most trusted subordinate" on Luo Yaoguo's head, no matter what the facts are, Luo Yaoguo must always be labeled as Chiang Ji.

"Is Jie Gong angry with Shen Hongying?" Luo Yaoguo walked over with a smile. "Jiegong, don't scold Shen Hongying for being despicable and shameless in front of us, and when you really catch him in the future, you will be soft-hearted."

"Hmph, you kid is always doing nonsense, how can I be like you?" Chiang Kai-shek knew that Luo Yaoguo was referring to Hong Baozi, Hong Baozi was caught by Luo Yaoguo's soldiers yesterday, Luo Yaoguo was not as good at talking as Chiang Kai-shek, and immediately ordered Wang Bao to take people to torture and serve in eighteen ways, torture Baozi insincerely, and finally handed over one million family properties, only to exchange a life. After Chiang Kai-shek learned about this, he summoned Luo Yaoguo and severely criticized him, which made Luo Yaoguo ashamed, and finally took out 600,000 yuan to sponsor the thief's military expenses, and Chiang Kai-shek was a little angry. Naturally, the remaining 400,000 Luo Yaoguo couldn't be swallowed alone, so he took 100,000 himself, and let the officers and soldiers of the 15th Brigade share the rest.

"Jiegong, what the auxiliary text said makes sense, I heard that Shen Hongying has a lot of wealth, and taking it out to sponsor the revolution can also alleviate his sins." He Yingqin is from Guizhou, and the warlords there have always been cruel, and it is common to kill them after they are caught, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Luo Yaoguo extorting a little money.

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said that he would not argue with the two anymore. "What to do if you catch Shen Hongying, let's wait until we get caught, we still have to discuss how to catch it."

"Jiegong, I thought that Shen Hongying was not busy first, and what we have to solve now is Ye Ju and Yang Kunru." Luo Yaoguo said.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said: "Chen Jiongming has already gone into the wilderness, Ye Ju and Yang Kunru are not to worry about the two little minions, is it not easy for us to arrest them?" However, if Shen Hongying, a bandit, can't be eliminated in time, I'm afraid that the place will be corrupted. ”

"Jiegong, do everything to eliminate evil, otherwise it is easy to resurge! Now that Yang Kunru's subordinates are panicked and have no fighting spirit, it is a good opportunity for us to eliminate them. Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "After eliminating Yang Kunru, we have an army of 40,000, plus 10,000 people from the 1st Guangdong Division, more than 10,000 people from Zhu Yizhi of the Yunnan Army, and we are still afraid of Shen Hongying's 10,000 guns?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Shen Hongying crossed the river for a long time, but Chen Jiongming is the head snake in Guangdong, and the Dongjiang River is his nest, and if we don't get rid of him, the trouble will definitely not be small in the future. He Yingqin's tone was full of fierceness.

Chiang Kai-shek listened to the persuasion of the two, was silent, and only spoke for a while: "Huizhou is known as a natural danger, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack. ”

"Jiegong, the battle of Huizhou is easy to win." Luo Yaoguo smiled mysteriously and said, "The fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside. ”

"Do you have a way?" Chiang Kai-shek's eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

"I don't have a way, but my uncle must have, as long as our army is pressing, there will definitely be people in Huizhou City who want to get off Chen Jiongming's broken ship, my uncle is honest, as long as he comes forward, there will always be people who believe it."

Luo Yaoguo put his plan together, and Chiang Kai-shek was moved by the consequences. "It's still a good way to supplement the text, I'll call Brother Yichen to come here from Chaozhou to discuss, by the way, if Yang Kun gets his wish, do we want it or not?"

"Don't." Luo Yaoguo said categorically: "The price of buying a brigade commander is definitely lower than buying a military commander, and there are still many places to use money in the future, so we can save a little bit." The idea of the department is to buy one of the four brigade commanders under Yang Kunru to be the internal response, and we should take Huizhou City together, and we will absorb the remaining three brigades. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded lightly and said, "Good! We'll buy a brigade commander! Hmm, this Yang Kunru has also done evil for many years, Fuwen, after catching Yang Kunru, I will hand it over to you, you have to educate him well. ”

"What Jiegong said is that the ministry must educate Yang Kunru well, so that he will be willing to sponsor the great cause of the revolution." Luo Yaoguo smiled wickedly at Chiang Kai-shek, and thought: "Old Chiang seems to have been brought bad by himself?" ”

A day later, Luo Yiqun, who had just been appointed by Sun Yat-sen as the supervisor of Chaomei, was invited to Jieyang, and after some discussion with Luo Yiqun, he decided to attack Luo Fengxiang, Yang Kunru's chief of staff and commander of the First Brigade. Luo Fengxiang is also a native of Boluo County, a fellow villager with Yang Kunru, graduated from the Guangdong Army Crash School, and is an old friend of Luo Yiqun. Chiang Kai-shek offered Luo Fengxiang a price of brigade commander and 200,000 oceans, and asked him to defect when the First Army attacked Huizhou, if he could capture Yang Kunru alive or force Yang Kunru away, Chiang Kai-shek could promote him as a division commander and govern two brigades, but the other two brigades and Huizhou must be handed over, and if he wanted territory, Chiang Kai-shek could recommend him to take troops to Xu Chongzhi in Fujian.

On the fourth day after sending off Luo Yiqun, the 30,000 troops of the First Army of the East Road Thieves completed their rest and reorganization, and officially set off for the Dongjiang area.

Knowing that Chiang Kai-shek's army was pressing the border, Yang Kunru and Ye Ju in Huizhou City also felt that something was wrong. At this time, Yang Kunru and Ye Ju also knew about the annihilation of Hong Zhaolin and Lin Hu's entire army, and even the 15,000 people of Hong and Lin were defeated, how could they dare to resist with their own 10,000 people? In fact, even Chen Jiongming himself did not dare to go to Huizhou to fall into the net after being electrified, but fled to Hong Kong for temporary refuge. Obviously, he doesn't have the slightest confidence in whether Huizhou can hold on.

"Brother Ruoqing, what did you say about Jing Shuai's callback?" In the study of Yang Kunru's mansion in Huizhou City, Yang Kunru, who was restless, finally waited for the backbone, Chen Jiongming's chief of staff, Ye Ju.

"Brother Dabo, this is a telegram from Jing Shuai, read it for yourself." Ye Ju lowered his head and sighed softly, and handed the message he had just translated to Yang Kunru.

"What? Jing Shuai, let's temporarily take refuge in Sun Cannon to maintain our strength! Yang Kunru threw the telegram manuscript on the desk. How do you maintain your strength after this? If the strength of Xiangchen and Yinqing is still there, maybe there is a way for us to form a group, and now that the 30,000 soldiers surnamed Jiang are coming to the city, will he allow us to preserve our strength? ”

"Brother Dabo, whether the surnamed Jiang will allow us to preserve our strength depends on whether the gun in our hands agrees. Now that the situation in Guangzhou is unstable, Shen Hongying is very likely to cause chaos, and Wu Dashuai also sent Fang Benren from Jiangxi to lead troops to aid Guangdong, as long as we hold on, things will definitely take a turn for the better. ”

"I hope so." Yang Kunru thought to himself: "Sun Chuanfang and Zhou Yinren, who were sent by Wu Dashuai to aid Fujian, are still in Jiangxi, and they haven't even touched the edge of Fujian, so this Fang Benren doesn't know if it's reliable." ”
