"Okay! That's it! ”

Hearing Huang Baopei's proposal, Lenin's face was relieved. At present, the Ordnance Soviets in Petrograd have in their hands many arsenals and arsenals left over from the Tsarist government, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, but what is lacking is funding. Since the Chinese people are willing to pay on credit, they have fallen into the hands of Lenin. He paused slightly, exchanged glances with Trotsky, and then asked: "How much is the Chinese G going to recruit" to aid the Russian Red Army? As far as I know, tens of thousands of Chinese laborers have been evacuated from the front to the vicinity of Petrograd, without food and clothing, and in a very difficult situation...... Diplomats from the Chinese government also turned a blind eye to them.

When Huang Baopei heard this, he couldn't help frowning. The Beiyang government is also too irresponsible, how can tens of thousands of compatriots be allowed to fend for themselves in chaotic Russia! At this moment, Zhang Guotao's voice rang in his ears: "Comrade Zhisheng, this is a good opportunity for us to recruit troops... If it weren't for the lack of food and clothing, these laborers would probably not want to be soldiers, right? Let's take this opportunity to recruit a little more, and it's better to recruit them all! ”

Zhang Guotao spoke in Chinese, and no one at the scene could understand except for the excited temporary translator Natalie, who could no longer find her direction. Huang Baopei also replied in Chinese: "But what about the funds? If you want to recruit an army of tens of thousands of people, why do you need millions? We only have less than 10,000 taels of gold in our hands! That was to maintain our activities in Russia for the next few years, and to recruit and train the Red Brigade death squads. I think we are still waiting, but Comrade Zuo Min said in the telegram that he would soon send us a sum of money and officers to come over. ”

Zhang Guotao looked at Huang Baopei, the great opportunity is in front of him, this person doesn't know how to seize it quickly! He couldn't help but complain: "Comrade Zhisheng! Who is more powerful than tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers and dozens of Red Brigade daredevils? At the moment, people are willing to provide weapons, ammunition and supplies, so we just need to pay some money......... And you can take it back later, what a great opportunity! Besides, there are not millions of them, so you should be recruiting soldiers in China? Those people are desperate, maybe they can go with us as long as they can have something to eat! You should know how important the gun is! ”

Huang Baopei was stunned, and after careful calculation, he also felt that Zhang Guotao's words were reasonable, but the gun could be out of power! Thinking of this, he also nodded and said to Lenin: "Comrade Lenin, your construction is very good, we will do our best to start recruiting troops among the workers of the Chinese countries near Petrograd!" Lenin smiled, pointed to a middle-aged man with a goatee and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and said: "This is Comrade Trotsky's current temporary responsibility for the military work of the Bolshevik Party, and you can discuss the specific matters of the Red Army to aid Russia, and he will provide you with help as much as he can." ”

After talking about the big matter of "aiding the Russian Red Army", Huang Baopei sighed lightly, changed his words, and talked about Mongolia again. This was specifically instructed by Chang Ruiqing to be made to Lenin in a secret telegram, and the Bolshevik Party now had considerable influence in the Provisional Government, and without their nod, the Provisional Government would not have been able to take any measures in Mongolia.

"Comrade Lenin, I would like to ask the Russian comrades for a small favor from the preparatory committee of our party.

Lenin was also in a good mood, and waved his hand with a smile: "The affairs of the comrades of China are our affairs, and if you want us to help, just ask!" Huang Baopei smiled and said, "I don't know if Comrade Lenin has heard of the "Mongolian abolition bill" issued by the Provisional Senate of the People's Republic of China?" Lenin was stunned and said strangely: "Is there such a thing? But what does this have to do with us?

The government of China is a bourgeois government, and the GCD of China does not have a seat in the provisional Senate, right? Huang Baopei leaned forward slightly and said to Lenin: "But the [Zhong] ** team that is preparing to march into Mongolia has our strength in it!" Moreover, Mongolia is also an inseparable part of China, and our GCD has just set up a local party organization in Mongolia, so Comrade Zuo Min does not want the Russian Provisional Government to interfere in the withdrawal of Mongolia, I wonder if the Russian comrades can help with this? ”

"Alright! Since Comrade Zuo Min insists, then we will help with this! After a moment's thought, Lenin waved his hand very loudly, and agreed to this small request from the Chinese side......

June 1, 1917, Fengtai Daying.

More than 12,000 officers and soldiers stood straight in the playground and watched the five-color national flag of the Republic of China fluttering on the main platform. These officers and men came from the newly formed and trained 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Participating Army and the 16th Mixed Brigade that had just been transferred from Pukou.

These officers and men were arranged in a phalanx according to different branches of the army. Heavy weapons were at the forefront of the ranks, and sixteen mountain and field cannons reflected dazzling light in the sun. And the Mongolian war horses were all held by the cavalry, and they were all neatly arranged. All the soldiers in the audience, whether they were from the newly formed First Brigade of the Participating Army or the veterans of the old 16th Mixed Brigade, seemed to know that today was a big scene of great significance, and they all stood there with bated breath, waiting for the review.

The two brigade commanders, Feng Yuxiang and Gao Sansheng, were also fully clothed and pressed the command knife at the front of the team. They all looked solemn and solemn. In particular, Feng Yuxiang, who was "assigned" to Mongolia, although he knew that there was no return date for going to Biansei, he still pretended to be iron and blood there with a stiff face, as if he was going to Mongolia to ask for a horse leather shroud this time.

A dozen riders from afar galloped into the playground. At the front is Xu Shuzheng, who is dressed in a military uniform and has a stern expression. According to the propaganda of the newspapers outside, he was the initiator of the "restoration of Outer Mongolia", from the Senate to the bill to remove the rule of law, to send troops to recover Outer Mongolia, he single-handedly promoted!

If he can recover Outer Mongolia this time, he will undoubtedly be the first to take the lead!

However, what the outside world doesn't know is that this Deputy Minister Xu Da is relatively reckless in handling domestic affairs, but he is still very careful in foreign affairs! For example, this time to send troops to Mongolia, even if Japan had already expressed its support, Britain and France pretended to be deaf and dumb, Xu Shuzheng still did not recklessly issue the order to send troops.

It was not until last evening that Cao Rushuang, Minister of Foreign Affairs, took a secret telegram sent by Liu Jingren, the Chinese minister to Russia, to Duan Qirui's Mansion in Fuxue Hutong, bringing the news that the Russian Provisional Government was unable to interfere in the Mongolian incident because of the opposition of the Engineer Soviet. That's why there is today's grand swearing-in parade!

Xu Shuzheng's horse came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the temporary "Lord" table, followed by Fu Liangzuo, Qu Tongfeng and other senior officers, who also had straight uniforms and flashing medals.

Xu Shuzheng jumped off the horse and walked quickly onto the "Lord" table, and the eyes of more than 10,000 people stared at him tightly, watching him stand still on the "Lord" table.

"Today, for the Republic of China and all of us, it is a day of great significance!" Xu Shuzheng's eyes were solemn, and he announced loudly: "Because, today our 1st Brigade of the Central Army and the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Army will form the Mongolian Border Guard!" Then he will go north to Mongolia and recover this land that has been controlled by the Russian invaders since the Republic of China! This is a national battle for our [China] team to recover the land and drive out the invaders of the great powers! Even if you die in battle, it is supreme glory to sacrifice your life for the country! ”

He turned his head to look at the new Mongolian commander Fu Liangzuo and the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian border guards, Qu Tongfeng, nodded heavily, and took a rolled flag from the adjutant behind him, then handed it to Qu Tongfeng with both hands, and said loudly: "General Weiqing, this is the military flag of the Mongolian border guards, I hope this flag can fly in the sky over the Mongolian steppe forever!" Qu Tongfeng solemnly saluted Xu Shuzheng, took the flag and unfurled it in the wind. A military flag with black letters on a red background fluttered in the sky above the Fengtai camp playground! The four big characters of "Yongzhen Saibei" on it were forever imprinted in the hearts of 12,000 athletes in an instant.

And this moment will probably remain in the annals of history forever......

Fujian, Longyan.

On the large playground of the 31st Mixed Brigade, the neat footsteps stirred up a cloud of dust.

Groups of soldiers lined up in a company phalanx, first of which marched, and then marched neatly in front of a group of uniformed officers. Each soldier was fully equipped, in blue-gray uniforms, carrying backpacks and cloth shoes with mille-soles on his feet, carrying rifles made in Gongxian or Hanyang with bayonets, and without squinting, he rumbled forward according to the officer's command.

This was the first military parade after the 31st Mixed Brigade completed another large-scale expansion. Although it is still a brigade on the surface, there is a full division of troops in the shell of this brigade! Moreover, in accordance with the standards of the Beiyang Army, two "road" and four regiments were formed, plus artillery,

One regiment of wheels, one battalion of cavalry and one battalion of engineers, with a total strength of more than 12,000 people!

By the way, in this expansion, Chang Ruiqing also "created zào" and invented the temporary establishment of "road", which was set above the regiment and below the brigade. Two regiments under the jurisdiction of one road are actually the establishment of infantry brigades. Bai Chongxi and Wang Junhao were both appointed as the "commander-in-chief of the road", Bai Chongxi was the first road, and Wang Junhao was the second road.

The source of troops for this large-scale expansion comes from the redundant personnel of the People's Army in Northwest Fujian after its reorganization.

Because Long Qingyu, the leader of the largest people's army in northwest Fujian, and Wang Qi, the commander of the 11th Mixed Brigade of the only regular army in Fujian, were both bought by Chang Ruiqing. Therefore, the local tyrants and inferior gentry in northwest Fujian were powerless to resist, and they all obediently accepted the reorganization...... Of course, Chang Ruiqing finally took a small step and allowed each Hakka tulou to keep a minimum self-defense force in case of bandits.

In the end, after some layoffs, most of the people's army in the six counties of northwest Fujian was organized into the independent brigade of northwest Fujian, and a small part was incorporated into the first mixed brigade. And these two troops can actually be regarded as Chang Ruiqing's armed forces, and even the 11th Mixed Brigade stationed on the ground in northwest Fujian can be regarded as Chang Ruiqing's allies. If you count the factor of the first mixed brigade overnumber, Chang Ruiqing's side already has almost four brigades of armament at the moment! Definitely the most powerful warlord in Fujian, at least in terms of numbers.

Although there is a cloud in the art of war, "the military is fine, not too much", but judging from Chang Ruiqing's experience in the army (including military academies) for many years, it is completely empty words. The same outfit, the same training, the same source of soldiers, and the same society, even the officers are not much different. Why can you train elite soldiers yourself, but others can't? Therefore, Chang Ruiqing does not plan to take the route of elite soldiers, he absolutely believes that there is power in numbers!

Looking at this army that he had run single-handedly, Chang Ruiqing also showed a somewhat smug smile on his face, and he secretly calculated the next big plan to seize Fujian Province in his heart.

The plan to assassinate Li Houji has been prepared by Jiang Jishi, Ren Yijiang and Zhao Xianger. In principle, it was to use the signboard of the "Revolution" to implement the secret*, and Jiang Jshi was responsible for mobilizing the "Revolution" party's forces in Fujian to organize the killer group...... Chang Ruiqing also secretly ordered Wang Yaqiao in Shanghai to find a way to hire gunmen from the rivers and lakes to participate in the operation, and in the end, he was able to piece together more than 100 people! The weapons used are five huā eight doors, there are some rifles and pistols of various models, and a few homemade bombs and smoke bombs are also prepared, which is completely the style of the "Revolution" party!

Moreover, the Gaoyi Department of the People's Army stationed in Quanzhou has already been contacted with Xu Chongzhi's handwritten letter and 100,000 oceans. As soon as Li Houji died, Gao Yi would raise troops in Quanzhou to support the envoy of Zhangxia Town, and Zang Zhiping, the commander of the 14th Mixed Brigade, would be the overseer of Fujian. It gave people the false impression that Zang Zhiping colluded with the "Revolution" to order the party to murder Li Houji and seize the Fujian overseer. And Chang Ruiqing will also send someone to contact Zang Zhiping and Tang Guoqian in Fuzhou as soon as possible to test the bids in these two aspects.

Chang Ruiqing's psychological price is not the Fujian overseer, nor is he the governor of Fujian, although his strength is not weak at the moment, he does not have the strength to turn his face with the entire Beiyang. If he seizes Fuzhou City and becomes the superintendent and governor of the province, he will clearly tell the whole world that he will get rid of Li Houji! Therefore, the overseers and governors are all reserved for Beiyang old-timers like Zang Zhiping and Tang Guoqian. It is enough to have a Yuexi town guard yourself...... First of all, including the six counties in northwest Fujian and Zhangzhou, Xiamen and other places in southwest Fujian, we will be the king of half a province in a down-to-earth manner. Then let's look at the situation, the current history has gone on a fork in the road! I am afraid that my little knowledge of history will not be very useful in the future.

Lenin has already supported his own Zhongg to set up the so-called "Red Army to Aid Russia", and I don't know if this force is considered his own flag? On the other side of the Beiyang, the Northern Expedition to Mongolia was also started ahead of schedule, and the 16th Mixed Brigade of the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang was also incorporated into the Mongolian Border Guards.

Jiang Jshi also came to the playground at this moment, right next to Chang Ruiqing.

His face sank like water, just staring at the team in front of him, paying attention to every tiny detail of them, and what appeared in his eyes was incomparable envy and eagerness, wishing that he was the master of this army!

He had just arrived from his residence in Longyan, and he still had a handwritten letter from Chen Jiongming in his pocket.

Sun Yat-sen, with the help of the Protector War and the governor of Guangdong Province, Zhu Qinglan, obtained the 20th battalion of the Cantonese army, which was now stationed in the eastern part of Guangdong, on the territory of Mo Qingyu, the envoy of Huichaojia Town. Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi are the chief and deputy commanders of this freshly baked Guangdong army, and their current calculations are different from history, no longer to march into Fujian, but to seek the territory of 15 counties in eastern Guangdong under the jurisdiction of Huichaojia Town Guard. It happened that Chang Ruiqing intentionally or unintentionally informed the party of Mo Qingyu's desire to defect to the Beiyang government some time ago, so there was this handwritten letter from Chen Jiongming.

Chang Ruiqing suddenly noticed Jiang Tuo's arrival, turned his head and smiled at him: "Brother Kai-shek, which gust of wind blew you here!" By the way, Brother Kai-shek is our predecessor in Baoding, a high-achieving student studying in Japan, why don't you give advice to the brother's team and see if there is anything that can be improved? ”

Jiang Jishi seemed to be awakened by Chang Ruiqing's words, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, nodded and said, "Very good, very good, it is not easy to bring out such a team in such a short period of time." If you want to go to the next level, you can't reach it overnight. If anything...... It's just that there is still a lack of a camp academy, and the middle and senior officers of the 31st Mixed Brigade are good, and most of them are from Baoding. But the junior officers are not good, they are all temporarily promoted in the ranks. ”

This opinion is very pertinent, Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly, and was about to say a few modest words, and by the way, he also wanted to ask Jiang Jishi how to do a military academy. This is the famous principal of the Whampoa Military Academy in history, although the military literacy of those students in the first five phases of Whampoa is mediocre, but from the perspective of short-term training classes, it is good to be able to teach like that! It's time for me to build such a military school.

But Jiang Jshi took a few steps forward, came to Chang Ruiqing's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yaoru, take one step to speak, brothers have important matters to discuss." ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jiang Jishi, who had a solemn face, nodded, and the two of them arrived at a corner of the playground.

"Brother Yaoru, this is a handwritten letter from General Chen Jingcun, commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army aiding Fujian." Saying that, Jiang Jishi took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "Chen Jingcun already has a comprehensive plan to seize Zhanxian County in eastern Guangdong, and he wants Brother Yaoru to cooperate with one or two." ”

"Oh? Is that so? Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, opened the letter well and took out the letter paper, read it at a glance and ten lines, and then carefully reviewed it. Chen Jiongming's letter is not long, except for some clichés, it is a comprehensive plan to seek eastern Guangdong and western Fujian!

According to this plan..., Chang Ruiqing was to be responsible for using his connections in Beiyang to seduce Mo Qingyu to defect, while Chen Jiongming, Xu Chongzhi's Yue army and Li Liejun's Dian army, as well as the 11th here in Fujian

The first part of the mixed brigade will attack from east to west, nip this "rebellion" in the bud, and seize the territory of 15 counties that originally belonged to Mo Qingyu.

At the same time, Jiang Jshi will also command the [Revolutionary] forces lurking in Fuzhou to cooperate with Chang Ruiqing to assassinate Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian (to be continued
