Chapter 100 Expansion (6) Sending troops to Jiujiang

Jiujiang, the Yangtze River from Wuchang along the southeast down, here turned a bend, along the northeast up. Between Wuhan, Jiujiang and Anqing, it forms an inverted triangle, and Jiujiang is the point below. Needless to say, the strategic location of Jiujiang can be described as the throat of the Yangtze River. There is a Wuchang stuck between Anqing and Wuchang, which is really called like a fish in the throat.

If there is no assassination, Fang Jianxiong also plans to let Leng Yu play a water bandit. Now that Fang Jianxiong has been shot, he can calmly put his hat on the head of the alliance, first smear and stink, and solve it by force. In fact, this is not to blame Fang Jianxiong, Sun Wu has indeed lived in Jiujiang temporarily since Wuchang left. Whether Li Liejun supported Sun Wu to carry out the assassination is no longer the point, the point is that Fang Jianxiong has an excuse.

Fight terrorism!

The uproar of the poster circles continued to revolve around the three cases of Thorn Tao, Thorn Fang, and Thorn Yuan, among which the most concerned was the Tao Chengzhang case. Some old things are found and thrown in the newspaper to earn eyeballs. There is a speculation that Tao Chengzhang's death is roughly related to Sun Bu, as the initiator of the two anti-Sun movements, Tao Chengzhang's death is naturally associated with a lot.

Ironically, the origin of the Rebellion was a donation from the Nishien Cabinet of Japan to Sun. Sun did not inform Tao Chengzhang and Zhang Taiyan of this amount, and later Bei Yihui instigated the matter, which led to the split of the alliance.

Li Liejun, who was labeled as a terrorist, naturally refused to wait for death. Li Liejun telegraphed to the provinces, saying that Fang's rhetoric was a crime to be added, and that Sun Wu was excluded by Fang's family. Exiled in Jiujiang, the Fang clan still refused to stop, and imposed charges to put him to death. At the same time, it also said in a telegram that any attack on the Jiangxi military government would provoke the strongest counterattack. I hope that Wuchang will maintain restraint and not do things that are happy for relatives and enemies.

This is all a superficial thing, in fact, Jiujiang at the moment. It is in the midst of high pressure before the storm.

Li Liejun was not the governor of Jiangxi at this time, and led his troops to garrison Jiujiang, after learning that the national defense army was electrified. invited Sun Wu as soon as possible. "Yaoqing, you hurry up and leave Jiujiang to go to Shanghai, and then go to Japan to avoid the limelight first."

"I'm not going. Fang Jianxiong is a fake revolutionary and a real warlord, and I want to stay and expose his true colors. Sun Wu stiffened his neck, looking completely unconvinced.

"Yaoqing, if you stay in Jiujiang, you will give Fang Jianxiong an excuse to send troops, don't you understand?" Li Liejun persuaded bitterly that although Sun Wu had not participated in the assassination of Fang Jianxiong, he knew about it. Fang Jianxiong has no good impression in the minds of the hardliners in the Alliance. Chen Qimei, Huang Xing, Li Liejun. The other party's opinion of Jianxiong is not good. Especially after Fang Jianxiong did not recognize the new government and did something to unify the military and government, Li Liejun regarded Fang Jianxiong as a reactionary warlord.

This is a very strange phenomenon, as long as there are political differences, there is only black and white. In fact, Li Liejun may not be clear. What do you hate about Fang Jianxiong? What is there to criticize about this warlord? It's a pity that he didn't calmly think about it, and follow the current.

Li Liejun, who was very hard-mouthed, was actually very worried about Fang Jianxiong's possible military attack. The formal prominence of the Wehrmacht is in itself a clear indication of ambition. The Beiyang Army, as the benchmark of the strongest army in China, did not please the Wehrmacht in front of it. It can even be said to be a complete defeat. Jiujiang is just a Jiangxi First Division, with more than 8,000 people, and Li Liejun really has no confidence in his heart against Fang Jianxiong, who has tens of thousands of strong soldiers.

Expecting Nanchang to send troops to rescue is something you can't even think about. In parallel history, Li Liejun led his troops to aid Hubei, but there were only more than 3,000 people. Is it true that Jiangxi Province can only send such a small number of soldiers? More soldiers, stay and defend the territory. Looking at the provinces under the command of the Nanjing Provisional Government, in the later period, Nanjing gathered 200,000 people's troops from all walks of life, what was the actual combat effectiveness? To put it mildly, the generals of the provincial people's armies sent to Nanjing were excluded, and the soldiers were unwilling to be asked for by the various departments. Because of these soldiers, the entire city of Nanjing is engaged in a miasma. The Provisional Government could not pay the salaries, and the provinces did not pay a dime. Screaming that there is no money, in fact, the governors of the provinces are desperately expanding their armies. Those who shouted loudly about the Northern Expedition were often the slowest in action, or even did not act.

Although Sun Wu was not convinced, he still accepted Li Liejun's construction and got on the boat overnight and left for Shanghai. Li Liejun was righteous enough to personally escort a British passenger liner. The steamer disappeared into the night, and Ouyang Wu came up with a sentence: "He should be handed over to Fang Fuguo!" ”

Li Liejun's face was as pale as iron, with one hand on his waist and the other hand on his gun, he looked at Jiang Liudong and sighed: "I can't do it." ”

Ouyang Wu wanted to speak and stopped, but finally closed his mouth and left with a calm face without saying a word.

With the experience of the Beiyang Army, no one in the provinces today is willing to face the fierce man of Jianxiong. Li Liejun's move is undoubtedly suspected of pushing the whole of Jiangxi into the whirlpool of war against the national defense forces.

Also on this night, Chen Qimei also gave Jiang Zhiqing a ferry ticket and asked him to go to Japan to avoid the limelight. Most of the people of the League can't stay in the country, and the first choice of refuge is Japan.

In response to the statement issued by the Wuchang National Defense Force, the Nanjing Provisional Government quickly reacted and telegraphed the whole country. First of all, persuade Fang Jianxiong to exercise restraint and not to use his troops without permission. Secondly, he urged Jiangxi to do his best to take Sun Wu to justice. Finally, he once again appealed to the two provinces of Anhui and Hubei to take refuge under the banner of the Provisional Government. The Qing dynasty has not been extinguished, the revolution has not succeeded, and it is natural to be united.

In response to this electrification, the Wuchang side replied very politely by electrification. The provisional government was established at a critical period when the North and the South were discussing peace, and this move was undoubtedly suspected of exacerbating the antagonism between the North and the South. The root cause of this is that the establishment of the Provisional Government has no more than two purposes under the premise of the North-South Conference and the undetermined state system. One is a fait accompli that caused the Republic of China, and the other is a struggle for power. The two provinces of Hubei and Anhui will absolutely not recognize this kind of provisional government, which is likely to lead to the division of the north and the south. The two provinces recognized only a unified Republic of China, not the current provisional government. He then emphatically pointed out that the act of using assassination to achieve political goals and ignoring the innocent people in the market is despicable in nature and is outright terrorism. The Wehrmacht could absolutely not tolerate this approach to achieving the so-called victory of the revolution. Today you can drop bombs at your opponent, and tomorrow you can drop bombs at your comrades. Tao Chengzhang's death exposed the darkness and filth of this method to the eyes of people all over the world. Finally, the Wehrmacht Command solemnly declared: It will send two infantry divisions and a separate artillery brigade to Jiujiang to destroy the nest of terrorist organizations by force.

Wuchang, ferry terminal, a black sedan ashore, rushing to the headquarters of the Wehrmacht. In the car were the British consul Graham and the Japanese consul Matsumura. The two crossed the river together, but the purpose was different. Graham had a clear purpose, and Whitehall instructed that Fang Jianxiong, who once seemed to be anti-British, was essentially in awe of the British Empire, no different from ordinary warlords. As long as Fang Jianxiong supports Yuan Shikai as president, the British Empire can not blame the past. As for the procurement of river warships, it will not be discussed for the time being. This will not be discussed for the time being, it is because of Yuan Shikai, in fact, the British Empire does not care too much about the thousand-ton inland river warships. Knowing the content of Fang Jianxiong's call, Ge Fu was full of confidence in this trip. If Fang Jianxiong can carry out a military attack on Jiangxi, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the ongoing peace talks between the north and the south.

Matsumura's visit was somewhat infuriating, and the workers of the Hanyang Iron Works formed an association and launched a full-scale strike in response to Sheng Xuanhuai's signing of the "Sino-Japanese Joint Grass Contract of the Hanyeping Company" with Japan. Protest Sheng Xuanhuai's betrayal of national interests, well, the consciousness of the working class is high!

Japan is poor in resources, and leaving the pig iron of Hanyang Iron Works and the raw materials of Daye Iron Mine is a punch to the waist for Japanese iron and steel companies.

In parallel history, the time of Sino-Japanese co-hosting was January 29. This time and space has advanced, which can be regarded as another case of being messed up by Fang Jianxiong. After Sheng Xuanhuai was made a scapegoat by the Qing family, he first lived in Tianjin, and soon went to Japan. During his stay in Japan, this cooperation agreement was signed with Japan, and the news was widely publicized by the Japanese press.

The domestic reaction to this news was not strong, and the "Minli Daily" was just a small dried tofu page. Some tabloids in Shanghai hyped up this move because Sheng Xuan was afraid of revolution and worried that his property would be hacked, so he pulled the Japanese together. At the same time, he did not forget to point out that Hanyeping was originally a state-owned asset, which was embezzled by Sheng Xuanhuai and should be confiscated.

When Fang Jianxiong knew the news, he could be described as angry. During this period, Fang Jianxiong didn't have the confidence to argue with Little Japan. Not to mention fighting, the Japanese Third Fleet shelled Wuhu for several hours, and Fang Jianxiong had to go bankrupt.

But you can't do that either! So the yin move came out, Fang Jianxiong asked Li Muyan's military intelligence department to dispatch, the workers of the Hanyang factory went on strike, and all the skills were brought to Ma'anshan, and the work was going to start there anyway. Even if the Hanyang Iron Works completely wastes the long grass, it will not be able to cheapen Japan. Of course, this qiē method is temporary, and it can only be closed for a certain period of time.

Fang Jianxiong still regretted it in his heart, he knew that it would become like this, so he should have sent someone to tie up Sheng Xuanhuai's ticket and force him to hand over the Hanyang Iron Works. But then again, if you really do the kidnapping of tickets, your reputation will stink. This was not the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and Sino-Japanese relations were quite friendly.

Approaching the periphery of the Wehrmacht headquarters, the consulate's car was stopped. The Wehrmacht's faceless behavior, Ge Fu was also a little numb. In Hankow, all the shells have fallen, what is it to block the road for inspection? As a consul, Ge Fu vaguely felt that Whitehall's policy of supporting Yuan Shikai seemed to have to make some adjustments, and Fang Jianxiong should be properly supported, the forces of this warlord are all in the Yangtze River Valley.
