Chang Ruiqing didn't say a word, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, but his mind was as clear as water.

This Okamura Ninji really regarded himself as a supporter of Sun Yat-sen in history! However, the real purpose is nothing more than to stir up disputes in China!

Historically, the "Japan" himself spared no effort to support those who were in difficulty with the "Central" central government, even if the "Central" central regime fell into the hands of the warlords who were supported by the "Japan"! Sun Chuanfang, the overlord of the five provinces of the year, rose with the support of this Okamura Ningji. Later, the Japanese themselves even supported the Liangguang Army under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance to launch an incident against Chiang J of the Central Committee of Nanjing

Shi ..............., and now, although they support Duan Qirui's unification by force on the surface, but in private, I am afraid that they are sparing no effort to stumble on Duan Da's general manager and support the warlords under various banners to engage in secession, right? I don't know if Guangzhou has received the support of Japan?

Seeing Chang Ruiqing hesitating, Okamura Ningji looked sincere, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, we also know that Brother Yaoru has dealings with Guangdong, but this is nothing. There is no Beiyang force here in Fujian that does not secretly connect to the southwest, Zang Zhiping, Tang Guomo, Wang Qi, Yao Jianping, and even Li Houji himself are stepping on both ends! ”

"Oh, really?" Chang Ruiqing had a surprised expression on his face.

In fact, he knows all these things that the various factions in China in this era are inherently intertwined, and there is no loyalty to speak of, and everything is based on interests. There are many people in Beiyang who secretly connect to the southwest, and there are also many people in the Kuomintang who are colluding with Beiyang, even Duan Qirui,

Xu Shuzheng, after the defeat of the Zhiwan War, didn't he hook up with Sun Yat-sen and make a triangular alliance (and Zhang Zuoshuang) to oppose Wu Peifu?

Okamura Ningji smiled, and continued word by word: "As long as General Yaoru is willing to switch to Mr. Sun, then the empire will have a way to let you sit on the throne of the first person in Fujian!" ”

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and didn't answer. Becoming the first person in Fujian is indeed his next goal, but it is too early to openly join Sun Yat-sen. At present, the gas of the Beiyang Anhui system is not exhausted, and they still have an arrangement related to international affairs that needs to be used on the platform of the central government, so they can't be treated as a traitor to ask for it!

Seeing Chang Ruiqing's expression, Okamura Ningji was slightly disappointed: "General Yaoru, can't you let go of the friendship of the old master?" Chang Ruiqing nodded and sighed: "Xu Zhenggong has the grace of knowing the situation in the next, and if he openly rebels against the central government, I am afraid that he will be spurned by the world, right?" Therefore, Mr. Okamura should not mention the matter of publicly defecting to Guangzhou. Okamura Ningji's smile was still the same, he had already heard what Chang Ruiqing said, Chang Ruiqing was unwilling to rebel openly, not to be a loyal minister of Beiyang! He smiled and nodded: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and contemptible people don't force it." However, the empire still hopes to carry out comprehensive cooperation with General Yaoru, such as providing sophisticated and cheap ordnance for the 1st Mixed Brigade, providing military advisers with rich experience for the general, and providing loans for the development of resources in northwest Fujian, all of which are the good intentions of the Japanese Empire, and hopes that when the general becomes the leader of the Chinese country in the future, he can become the defender of Sino-Japanese friendship and peace in East Asia......

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and nodded. He knew that he couldn't refuse these "good intentions" of Okamura Ninji, and at the moment he was just a small Beiyang warlord, although he had more than 10,000 troops in his hands and a few small money, he was still vulnerable in the face of Japanese imperialism! You don't even need the other party to make a direct move, you can make these strengths that you have managed to save up go up in smoke! However, the "cooperation" with the Japanese cannot be carried out without reservation, and it is just a matter of buying some arms, and the military adviser must be on guard like a thief, otherwise the fate of the warlord will not be far from him!

Saibei, Suiyuan.

The Mongolian border guards of the brigade rushed down from the top of the military column and came to the famous city of Suiyuan, although it was already June, but the weather in Suiyuan was still very cool, and the cool breeze blowing from the Mongolian plateau made the soldiers who sat all the way in the stuffy tanker feel refreshed.

Suiyuan here does not refer to the Suiyuan Special Administrative Region, but refers to the Suiyuan City located in the middle of the Hetao Plain, the climatic conditions here are relatively good in the north of the Saibei, and there are a lot of productions, and it is located in the middle of the six league flags of Inner Mongolia, so it is the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the current Republic of China in the military and political center of the Saibei.

At present, the Suiyuan capital is concurrently served by Cai Chengxun, the commander of the Beiyang First Division, which is a banner division, which is the troops recruited by the Manchu court from the Eight Banners around Beijing, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined...... However, the current force on the Outer Mongolian side is even weaker, and with the civil strife in Russia, Kulen is already in chaos, and it is rare for the "border" to be stable, but at this time, the central government in Beijing actually sent an army to recover Outer Mongolia!

Looking at the steady stream of soldiers and rice weight coming down from the train, Cai Chengxun, the capital of Suiyuan, felt a little incredible. What kind of medicine did these guys take? It's good to stay in the pass, and I actually want to go to the kind of place where birds don't to find guilt.

He saw a dozen soldiers in gray soldier's clothes walking towards him, and the officer in the middle was surprisingly tall, with a gloomy and terrifying face. Cai Chengxun recognized this person as Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Central Army. He hurriedly strode up and hugged Feng Yuxiang: "Brother Huan*, it's good that you're here, someone has finally cleaned up that group of Xiaoxiao in Outer Mongolia this time!" ”

Feng Yuxiang reluctantly showed a smile, and also clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Huchen, recovering the land is originally a matter for us and other soldiers, and my brother has long wanted to come." By the way, can Suiyuan recruit people here? At least ** thousand people, and the same number of Luo Luo brothers' 16th mixed brigade is only one of them, and there is also the 1st Brigade of the participating army in Rehe in the east to occupy Eastern Mongolia, and the two add up, with a total strength of 145,000 people! Looking at so many soldiers, can the problem of logistics supply be solved in Suiyuan, Rehe, and Outer Mongolia? ”

Of course, he knew that Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng in Beijing didn't like him, so he was ready to settle down in Outer Mongolia for a long time! And to stay in Outer Mongolia for a long time, the most important thing is naturally logistics, his 16th mixed brigade of seven or eight thousand brothers, a little hardship is nothing, but there must be no food, right?

Cai Chengxun frowned slightly, took Feng Yuxiang's hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the station, in fact, he had just arrived in Suiyuan, and his understanding of the situation here was relatively limited, so he could only briefly introduce it now: "The population here in Suiyuan is not too small, and those alliance flags in Inner Mongolia are also quite deferential, and there is no problem in recruiting a thousand people." However, if you want to raise 10,000 troops in a territory like Inner and Outer Mongolia, I'm afraid it's not very realistic, those Inner Mongolia alliance flags are all poor to death, and they haven't paid a penny of taxes since the Republic of China! As for Outer Mongolia, it is even poorer, and the population is small, not to mention that the place is so large, the number of people should be less than 1 million, which is not as good as those counties in the south. Therefore, the supply can only depend on the mainland, and it is better to take Chahar to Kulun to build a railway, which will be foolproof. ”

Feng Yuxiang smiled bitterly, there are less than 1 million people, and he can't afford to raise his own mixed brigade!

If you want to grow and grow, there is no way! As for the Kuzhang Railway, it is already a cliché, and some officials proposed it at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but where did the money come from? I can't count on this thing at all, it seems that I have to find a way out!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the south again and sighed softly.

At this time, in Fujian and Guangdong, which are located on the southern edge of the mainland of China, there is an undercurrent surging under the seemingly calm atmosphere. There is intrigue and all kinds of behind-the-scenes deals on all sides. You want to accumulate enough chips to gamble before the Civil War resumes.

In the Generalissimo's Mansion in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of the Revolution, known as the Generalissimo, was walking around in a bored manner. His great cause of protecting the Dharma and the military government in Guangzhou have now reached a somewhat bleak point. Lu Rongting was busy making a behind-the-scenes deal with the north to maintain the separatist situation, and Tang Jiyao only knew how to expand his territory to Sichuan, and no one paid much attention to the generalissimo. However, what annoyed Sun Yat-sen was not these, but his henchman Chen Jiongming was always a little forward-looking when he got things done.

He took a few steps and picked up a folding fan from the table and shook it a few times, then threw it aside, and sighed: "What are you waiting for this Chen Jingcun!" Does he have to wait until Mo Qingyu raises the flag of rebellion before he is willing to do it? The principle of striking first is strong, why doesn't he understand it! ”

Standing opposite Sun Yat-sen in the office were his henchmen Hu Hanmin and Xie Zhi. Hu Hanmin had just rushed over from Chen Mingming's station in Meixian County, and the news that Chen Jiongming was still waiting for was brought by him. He touched the round glasses on his nose and sighed: "Sir, Chen Jingcun said that he has contacted Chang Ruiqing in northwest Fujian, and the other party is trying to encourage Mo Qingyu to rebel and connect with Chang Ruiqing, and the surname Mo has already hooked up with Lu Yongxiang, he is Duan Qirui's internal envoy to the two Guangxi patrols and the Guangdong overseer, and he is the most enthusiastic about attacking the southwest." Sun Yat-sen sighed: "Then we have to seize the time to seize the territory of eastern Guangdong, if Lu Yongxiang's 10th Division really arrives in Fujian, the situation will take a sharp turn!" Even Chang Ruiqing and Zang Zhiping, who are in contact with us, will become his pawns in attacking Guangdong! Even Lu Rongting will betray us in order to protect himself. ”

Hu Hanmin's face also became solemn when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Xie Zhi, who looked like a small businessman, he was the head of the Sichuan Kuomintang Industrial Group, and he had followed Sun Yat-sen since 1914 and won Sun's trust. At present, the official worships the generalissimo's office senator and acting secretary general, and is regarded as Sun's think tank.

Xie Zhi took two steps forward and walked up to Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, the key at present is not eastern Guangdong, but Fujian!" If there is a problem in Fujian, eastern Guangdong and even the whole of Guangdong will be in our pocket! "What can happen to Fujian?" Sun Yat-sen turned his head and looked at Xie Zhi. Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, Chang Ruiqing has become a barrier in Guangdong!" "What do you mean......" Sun Yat-sen asked.

"If you want Chang Ruiqing to enter Fuzhou, as long as he becomes the lord of Fuzhou, there will be no place for him in Beiyang! Moreover, this man's strength is not weak, and his skills are also skillful, which is enough to become a barrier to our east. Sun Yat-sen slapped his face: "Good way!" Beiyang can't tolerate him, so he has no choice but to use it for us, with him in front, Lu Yongxiang will have no way to march from Fujian, and we will be foolproof in eastern Guangdong! He turned back to Hu Hanmin and said, "Go and send a power generation to Chen Jingcun, and order him to do his best, and he must seize the old county in eastern Guangdong within July!" Then telegraphed Jiang Jshi that it was necessary to promote Chang Ruiqing to enter Fuzhou.

Hu Hanmin was instructed to turn around and leave, and Xie Zhi also wanted to leave, but was called down by Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen sat back at the desk, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a short message, and then handed it to Xie Zhidao: "This is my handwritten letter to Gao Yi, let Lin Zichao (Lin Sen) personally go to Quanzhou and hand over the letter to Gao Yi." "Fujian, Longyan. The town guards the yamen.

As soon as he returned to Longyan, Chang Ruiqing plunged into official business. Although there are only six prefectures, there are many troubles of all kinds.

First of all, the bandits, Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao, and Long Qingyang's troops took turns during this time, and they caught and sought the bandits in the mountains in the northwest of Yue. There are always dozens of big and small battles, and the bandits have eliminated a lot, but the public order situation in northwest Fujian has not improved in the slightest, and those bandits who have escaped the pursuit seem to have blown up their hair, and they have intensified their activities, and they have come down from the mountains at two ends in three days, either besieging the tulou or blocking the road and robbing them, so that the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the six counties of northwest Fujian have been "asking for troops,..., which is really tireless.

The second is the trouble in the team, Chang Ruiqing's mixed brigade soldiers were originally recruited in the north. The language of living habits is completely different from that of the south, a few days ago when the weather was cool, but now the weather is hot, and there are more diseases caused by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil on the team, so Chang Ruiqing had to send someone to Xiamen to invite a doctor to try to treat it. In addition, those newly recruited Fujian Hakka soldiers also gave Chang Ruiqing a headache. The words spoken by these Hakka people sound like a foreign language to the northerners, and they often like to hold groups, and most of them also participate in gangs, probably in the people's army, they are also used to it, and it is difficult to control the team, and they use mutiny to threaten Shangguan at every turn! As a result, he annoyed the warlord Changda, and publicly shot several people who took the lead in making trouble, and then suppressed it...... It seems that the team is expanding too quickly, and all kinds of people are mixed in, and we have to find a way to put it in order.

Moreover, the matter of contacting Mo Qingyu is not smooth, this "anti-bone boy" is more cunning than a fox, Chang Ruiqing sent Jin Yongyan to contact him in person a few times, and asked for a handwritten letter from Lu Yongxiang (of course he was very happy), but the other party still didn't have a word!

In the end, the people in northwest Fujian didn't know what kind of official he was to be the town guard, and some people came to the yamen to complain in three days. There are those who sue officials, there are those who cry out for grievances, and there are also all kinds of bizarre civil disputes.

In short, Chang Dajunque's head was made three times bigger. He is a Beiyang warlord, and he is not Bao Qingtian, why do you have to manage Shengtang to judge the case?

Every day is a lot of things, Rao is a strong warlord like Chang Ruiqing, and he only feels a burst of hair in front of him. It seems that "waking up to the power of the world" is really not something that one person does! There are only more than 10,000 troops in six counties, and they are as tired as dogs, if they really lead the whole of China, they can't take care of everything, and I don't know how the general manager of Zhou Da in history supported it?

Just when Chang Ruiqing was pondering whether to invite Zhou Elai, who was studying in Europe, back to help, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the office door. Then I saw the adjutant Yu Liu push the door open, and Wu Shi and Wu Zhongxi both stepped in with a happy face.

"Brother Yaoru, good news, good news! Li Houji has seen Zhang Gongquan and promised to invest 3.5 million yuan in the Bank of China! ”

Listening to Wu Shi's voice, Chang Ruiqing raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy slipped across his face. My huā sales during this period of time are a little bigger, and I need some windfall to fill it.

Wu Zhongxi continued: "The 3.5 million yuan transferred from the Bank of Taiwan will be able to reach the books of the Fujian branch of the Bank of China by the end of June, and will be remitted to the head office in Shanghai at the beginning of July (the head office of the Bank of China has been moved to Shanghai ahead of schedule). ”

"Good! Good! Good! The timing is just right! Chang Ruiqing slapped his face, stood up from behind his desk, and walked around the room excitedly, laughing as he walked: "This deal seems to be a big profit again, 200,000 silver bullets, a meat bullet, plus more than 100 hired outlaws, you can get more than 3 million at once!" Even if you can't get the Zhangxia site, it's worth it. Listening to Chang Ruiqing's words, Wu Shi just smiled, and looked at Chang Ruiqing with a strange look: "What, do you really plan to give Wu Yan'er 350,000?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled deeply: "Xiang'er told me that this woman is interesting to my second brother, and I will send her to Shanghai after the matter is completed...... Forget about the matter of extinguishing the mouth, maybe there will be a place to use her in the future. ”

Wu Shi and Wu Zhongxi glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and Wu Shi said: "That's fine, after all, she has made a great contribution to us." And when she arrives in Shanghai, she will definitely help Ruiyuan open up the situation with her communication skills. Chang Ruiqing smiled and said to Wu Shi: "Now everything is ready, just wait for Sa Zhenbing." By the way, who are Zang Zhiping and Tang Guoyu going to contact there? Has anyone chosen one? Wu Shi replied with a smile: "Zang Zhiping let Mr. Jin go, as for Tang Guomo, why don't you let Jiang Jishi go after finishing things?" He and Tang Guomo were classmates in the first phase of Baoding's crash course. (To be continued.)
