October 2, 1917.

Guangzhou.

In the conference room of the Generalissimo's Mansion next to Huangpu Park, several generals in strict military uniforms were looking at it over and over with a copy of the top-secret document marked with top secret. Everyone's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, as if they were thinking about something.

Sun Yat-sen, the generalissimo of the Guangzhou Military Government, sat on the seat at the top, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, drinking without raising his head, and not saying a word.

Several officers below had already finished reading the text and began to talk and stood up.

“…… With 1 million yuan of military spending, plus 800,000 rounds of ammunition, 3,000 rifles, and 200 water machine guns, you want to change Zhangzhou and Xiamen? His Chang Ruiqing's abacus is very fine! ”

"But now that the surname Lu and the surname Tang are colluding to force us to remove Mr. Sun's generalissimo, will we be able to stay in Guangzhou at that time? I think it's better to strike first and seize Guangdong with the support of Chang Ruiqing! ”

"Who's going to deal with it on the Northern Army's side? At present, they have captured most of Hunan Province, if we fight with the Gui army at this time, I am afraid that all Hunan will be captured by the Northern Army! Without the barrier of Hunan, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold even if we seize Guangdong, right? ”

"It is precisely because the Northern Army is about to seize Hunan that we must control Guangdong in our hands! Otherwise, once Lu Rongting defects to the Northern Army and betrays the Protector, we will be finished! ”

"That's right! We can't pin our hopes on an old warlord like Lu Rongting, we must have our own reliable territory and army! ”

"Only by seizing Liangguang and then convening an extraordinary congress to elect Mr. Sun as the president can our revolution hope to win!"

After the discussion, the opinion of supporting the "United Nations and the Crown" to seize the territory of the two Guangxi provinces gradually prevailed. Most of the generals in this room are from the Cantonese army, and most of them are Cantonese, and these people have long been dissatisfied with their hometown being occupied by Guangxi warlords, and of course they don't want to let go of this good opportunity to seize Guangdong in one fell swoop!

Sun Yat-sen also gently put down the text in his hand, which was Chang Ruiqing's plan to support him to seize Liangguang. In this plan, Chang Ruiqing proposed a plan to subsidize the Guangdong army with weapons, ammunition and military expenses in exchange for Zhangzhou and Xiamen. And at the end of this plan. He also put forward a plan to negotiate peace with the Northern Army after Sun Yat-sen took control of Guangzhou, and Chang Ruiqing could convene an extraordinary congress in Guangzhou and elect himself as the president. A situation of coexistence between the two governments of the north and the south has been formed. Then he proposed a peace agreement between the north and the south, using his very large president as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the Beiyang government's recognition of the restoration of the provisional treaty, and the appointment of figures from the party side of the "Revolution" to several important posts, such as the envoy of the two Guangzhou, the overseer of Guangdong, the overseer of Guangxi, the governor of Guangdong, and the governor of Guangxi......

Sun Yat-sen frowned. Slowly set his eyes on Chen Jiongming: "Jingcun, do you think Chang Ruiqing's plan is not feasible?" ”

When everyone was discussing just now, the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese army did not say a word, and his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was quite hesitant. Hear Sun Yat-sen's question. He just shook his head slowly: "Sir, I don't know if you have noticed what Chang Ruiqing has done in Fujian during this time?" ”

Sun Yat-sen glanced at Chen Jiongming: "Are you talking about the assassination of Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang?" Jin Xiaofeng had already explained to me that Chang Ruiqing didn't know anything about it, and it wasn't instructed by him. ”

Chen Jiongming shook his head, his face full of solemnity: "The assassination of comrades Xu and Wang is just a trivial matter, but Chang Ruiqing's strategy to govern Fujian is a big event!" ”

"A strategy to govern Fujian?" Sun Yat-sen was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Is there any problem?" ”

Chen Jiongming nodded: "The turmoil that happened in Fujian during this period of time is very weird, and there seems to be an invisible hand behind it. Its purpose is to weaken the power of the local squires in Fujian to the greatest extent! Meanwhile. Chang Ruiqing also vigorously co-opted the local frustrated scholars in Fujian, and used them to build township government and rural education system...... Recently, he has been preparing to exterminate bandits in various parts of Fujian on a large scale and rectify the gangs in Fujian Province, and his ultimate goal may be to completely control Fujian Province in his hands and turn it into a consolidated rear for him to compete for world domination! ”

"Oh?" Sun Yat-sen picked up the teacup on the table and drank it. Tea. The wind on his face was light: "Is his method good?" Shall we learn as well? ”

"Sir!" Chen Jiongming slapped the table: "He's a military dictatorship!" Now Fujian's parliamentary system has completely lost its effectiveness, and all officials at all levels, from the provincial government to the local level, are up to him. The Fujian Army is the only one who obeys the order of Chang Ruiqing, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of the "people" republic? If we do what he did. Isn't it even more dictatorial than the Beiyang government**? Are we too embarrassed to fly the banner of Dharma protector? ”

Sun Yat-sen smiled: "Competing for survival, what's the hurry?" I don't really want to learn from Chang Ruiqing to engage in dictatorship, and now we are discussing whether it is feasible to drive Gui from Lianchang, competition, what is your opinion? ”

Chen Jiongming sighed softly. He didn't understand what Sun Yat-sen's plan was. In the past two years, this "revolutionary" family has become more and more inclined to **dictatorship! Now that he sees that Chang Ruiqing is gradually establishing a military dictatorship in the Fujian Army and Fujian Province, he is naturally very envious, and he can't wait to "take Chang as a teacher" and directly copy the "Fujian Army Regulations" to the Guangdong Army!

As for the current problem of "Lianchang driving Gui", in fact, it is also of the same nature! The Gui and Yunnan factions were indeed making small moves behind their backs, wanting to negotiate peace with the Northern Army and drive Sun Yat-sen out of power. However, the "small move" of the people is to contact and win over the members of the National Assembly in Guangzhou, and to pass a resolution in the Provisional National Assembly to revise the "Outline of the Organization of the Government of the Republic of China", which is completely in line with the "Provisional Constitution" and the "People's" constitutional government.

On the contrary, Sun Yat-sen's attempt to overthrow Gui by force was the most complete betrayal of the "Dharma Protector Movement" and the "Provisional Covenant"! Such an act is no worse than Duan Qirui's abolition of the "Provisional Covenant Law" and the dispersal of the National Assembly!

He straightened his complexion, stood up, and said to Sun Yat-sen with a cold face: "Sir, I don't approve of driving Gui by force!" Now, although the Gui faction has united with some members of Congress to oppose us, they are still fighting against us within the scope of the "Provisional Covenant Law"! Since we take the protection of the Dharma as a call, we should set an example to abide by the "Covenant Law", how can we take the lead in destroying the "Covenant" by force? If we want to seize territory, we should also target Fujian, which is ruled by Chang Ruiqing! Crusade against his military dictatorship in Fujian to save the people of Fujian in dire straits! ”

A room full of Cantonese army generals were shocked, Chang Ruiqing's Fujian Army had three divisions, with a total strength of nearly 40,000! The Cantonese army now has no more than 30 battalions, with a total strength of less than 15,000...... People have a threefold advantage. And there are also two divisions of Zhejiang and Shanghai Beiyang elite as the backing! Now that he doesn't come to fight Guangdong, he is already burning high incense, how can the Guangdong army send it to the door by himself?

Sun Yat-sen glanced at Chen Jiongming coldly. Are you really going to fight Fujian? I'm afraid I still want to use this as an excuse to make the "Lianchang Gui" yellow, right? His eyes fell on Xu Chongzhi, deputy commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, and Xu Chongzhi looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and said nothing. Then Sun Yat-sen looked at Deng Keng again, and the newly released chief of staff of the Cantonese army also refused to express his position.

For a moment, the scene in the conference room became awkward. I don't know how long it took, but a voice with a Zhejiang accent rang out: "We must not attack Fujian!" ”

The crowd followed the voice. It turned out to be Jiang Jshi, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army stationed in Fujian, who had returned to Guangzhou from Xiamen this morning on a naval warship. As soon as he got off the ship, he was taken to Sun Yat-sen's Generalissimo Mansion to attend the meeting.

Chen Jiongming looked at Jiang Jishi coldly: "What's not to do?" ”

Jiang Jishi looked at Chen Jiongming without showing weakness, and said in a cold tone: "Chang Yao is a member of the Revolutionary Party and a believer of Mr.!" How can we put on the betrayal of Mr. Gui warlords not crusade. Instead, take your own comrades under the knife? ”

Chen Jiongming said coldly: "What kind of comrade is he?" It's just a warlord who opportunizes his life! Don't forget how the two comrades, Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang, died! ”

Jiang Jshi snorted lightly: "How they died, it's still an unsolved case, but many of our comrades in Guangdong have been hunted down and killed by the Gui warlords!" Based on this alone, we should crusade against the Gui family! ”

"That's right! We should crusade against the Gui family and avenge our dead comrades! ”

"Crusade against the Gui family and turn Guangdong into the world of Cantonese people!"

Jiang Jshi's words fell, and some Cantonese generals in the room echoed them. In fact, they are not unaware that the "joint standing to seek laurels" violates the "Provisional Covenant Law", but in front of the real thing. The Provisional Statute and the Provisional Diet are naturally nothing to mention!

Chen Jiongming's face was red and white for a while. He looked at Xu Chongzhi. Xu Chongzhi sighed: "Competing for storage, it's better to listen to Mr., with the territory of Guangdong, you don't have to send people to the fence in the future......"

Deng Keng, who was beside him, also chimed in: "Yes, the financial resources of Guangdong Province can support at least six or seven divisions!" With so many troops, it is possible for our ideals to be realized. ”

Chen Jiongming stood up suddenly. Stamped his feet: "This is your ideal!" Not my ideal! He turned his head to look at Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, if you must join forces to ask for Gui." Then I had to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the Cantonese army! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room was as silent as death. All eyes were on Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen frowned, thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's okay!" The commander-in-chief of the Cantonese army will be replaced by you! ”

……

If it is said that Chen Jiongming's loss of the post of commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army will have a huge impact on the future life of the "China" revolution. At this moment, thousands of miles away in Helsinki, Chang Ruiqing's butterfly effect has finally begun to affect the process of the world's revolution!

At this time, in the dead of night in Helsinki, in a room in the first building of the Haganiea Stadium in the center of the city, the lights were brilliant, and the rustle of paper and pen was endless, and Lenin, the great leader of the Russian Bolsheviks, continued his brilliant masterpiece "The State and the Revolution" in this room.

And downstairs in this building, there is also the corridor outside the room where Lenin lived. At this moment, a dozen Orientals in ill-fitting suits were dangling, their eyes looking around vigilantly, and a few of them were reaching for their bulging waists from time to time.

A dilapidated four-wheeled carriage rumbled across the quiet Haganecalia Arena and came to a halt under the building where Lenin lived.

A few Oriental people under the building immediately approached and saluted a young man who also had an Oriental face who had jumped out of the carriage.

This person is none other than Zhang Guotao, a former deputy political commissar of the "Red Army Aiding Russia", and now he has another position -- Chief of the Guards of Comrade Lenin!

I don't know what the reason is, but the Russian Bolsheviks in this period do not seem to trust the Russians very much, but they trust the Russian minorities, and even some foreign revolutionaries involved in the Russian Revolution! Historically, Lenin's defenders during the October Revolution were composed of Chinese workers in Russia! After that, Lenin used the Latvian Guard for a long time.

And in this time and space, shortly after Huang Baopei and Zhang Guotao proposed to Stalin to send some reliable Chinese comrades to Helsinki to defend Lenin. The Central Committee of the Bolsheviks quickly gave its approval. A crack detachment led by Zhang Guotao then took the train to Helsinki and became a loyal defender of Comrade Lenin......

Zhang Guotao, who got out of the carriage, looked around, and asked the young man who looked like a small leader next to him in a low voice: "Fuqing." How's it going? ”

The man named Fuqing was a Chinese native surnamed Li, and he was one of the first batch of Chinese workers to join the "Red Army Aiding Russia". He said to Zhang Guotao respectfully: "The old man has written a lot of things again, and he is waiting for you to help him send them." ”

Zhang Guotao looked at him and shook his head slightly: "What old man?" Call Comrade Lenin! Soon he will be the president of the Russians! ”

Li Fuqing smiled. He approached Zhang Guotao and asked, "Comrade Zhang, is there any news from Petrograd?" ”

Zhang Guotao snorted coldly: "What news do you need?" Isn't it all in the newspapers? Factories in Petrograd are closing, prices are skyrocketing, and food is in desperate shortage! The situation is worse than it was in July, and who is still going to support the Provisional Government now? ”

So saying, he walked briskly into the building. Walk towards the floor where Lenin was.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked." Hearing the hurried footsteps outside, Lenin knew that it was Zhang Guotao, the head of his "Central National Guard", who had arrived. In addition to serving as the captain of Lenin's guard, Zhang Guotao also served as a messenger, helping Lenin send his written works to Petrograd.

Zhang Guotao now knew a lot of Russian, and when he heard Lenin's call, he quickly pushed the door and walked in, and saw Lenin writing behind his desk.

"Comrade Lenin, this is a telegram sent to you by Comrade Chen Duxiu, Chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the Central G. Zhang Guotao took out a copy of the newspaper from his pocket. Both hands were handed to Lenin.

"Oh?" Lenin was slightly stunned. Hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, took the telegram and looked at it: "Comrade China wants to hire some engineers and technicians who are proficient in metallurgy and military manufacturing? What do you want to do? ”

"I want to open two factories." Zhang Guotao explained in blunt Russian: "Although these two factories were invested by the bourgeois warlords of China, they are secretly controlled by our comrades and will become an important stronghold of the revolution of China in the future." ”

"I see." Lenin smiled faintly and nodded without asking anything more: "When we have mastered Petrograd, you can recruit yourself." I believe that the bourgeois intellectuals will be happy to leave Russia. ”

"Mastering Petrograd? What do you mean......" Speaking of this, Zhang Guotao seemed to remember something. Busy stopped...... That was a secret of the Bolshevik Party, and his identity was not suitable to be inquired into!

Lenin also did not mean to reveal the secrets of the party to him. Instead, while sorting out the manuscripts on the table, he asked with a smile: "Comrade Zhang, if our revolution is victorious and we take power in Russia, can I invite your President Chen and Comrade Zuo Min to Petrograd as guests?" ”

"Okay, I'll tell them both what you mean." Zhang Guotao replied.

Lenin nodded, handed the sorted manuscript to Zhang Guotao, and said, "How is your support for the Russian Red Army?" How many comrades have been recruited? ”

"It's more than 10,000!" Zhang Guotao's expression was a little excited, that is a full 10,000 elites, and it can be regarded as a big warlord in China!

"Okay, there are quite a few of them." Lenin also smiled: "You telegraphed back to Comrade Sù Chen and Comrade Zuo that after our victory, we are ready to expand the number of this army to 50,000!" Let them fight back from Mongolia, knock down Beijing all the way, and establish Soviet power in China! ”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Guotao's face could not be concealed, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, then on behalf of Comrade Chen Duxiu, Comrade Li Dazhao, and Comrade Zuo Min, I would like to thank you and the Russian comrades for their kindness!" ”

Lenin nodded with satisfaction, touched his chin, and said: "Last time I was in Petrograd, I heard your Comrade Huang Baopei introduce that you have many allies in the bourgeois government of China? ”

Zhang Guotao nodded: "That's right, our Comrade Zuo Min of Zhongg also has an identity as the bourgeois government of China...... Big bureaucrats! Very status! ”

The smile on Lenin's face brightened a little, and he hurriedly asked: "Can Comrade Zuo Min exert his influence in the bourgeois government of China, let the bourgeois government of China recognize Soviet Russia after the victory of the revolution, and prevent imperialism from using the territory of China to interfere in Russia...... I think Comrade Zuo Min will understand that this is very important for the nascent Soviet Russia, and only when we succeed in stabilizing power can we provide a great deal of assistance to the life of the "China" revolution! ”
