Volume 3 Aftermath 141 The Past of Yuegui - Digging the Foot of the Wall

(Some words written earlier: Alas, someone in the family has quarreled in the past two days, which makes people upset, and they have no intention of coding words.) This is the most annoying.

To declare, some readers don't like the plot of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, etc., and I will try to write as little as possible, after all, I don't like it either. In this book, there may be unrealistic plots, but the Guogong controversy will not affect the plot development of this book.

I don't know how to say it, look! It's the first time I've written such a long novel, and I'm a little surprised to think about it. There will inevitably be some mistakes, so please bear with me.

The following sections are written about the dispute between Guangdong and Guangxi, and those who don't like it should ignore it directly!

The fourth volume of the story will focus on the Coolidge boom in the United States, so let's sort out our thoughts and update it as much as possible these days! As for the recommended voting subscription, forget it, I'm embarrassed to say it.

Terrible September! ）

The time goes back half a year, March 1920. Zhangzhou, Fujian. It was a bright spring.

In China, which is full of trouble, it seems to be a pure land. A middle-aged man with a calm bearing and a military uniform was walking down the tattered and tidy streets with a long beard and a green robe of the same age, talking from time to time. They were smiling and the conversation was in a good atmosphere.

They are Chen Jiongming, the commander of the Guangdong Army, and Situ Meideng, the boss of the Zhi Gong Party. Very early, the two met when they were against the Qing Dynasty, and they also received a deep friendship.

"Jingcun, you practice model county here, the effect is good! It would be nice if everyone was like you and had this kind of mind. Stuart said.

"It's just a little bit of a stretch. Since this place has been brought down, it must be managed well. Speaking of which, I have a lot of support from Gizan you. Chen Jiongming smiled lightly and shook his head, "Alas, Guidian is fighting in Guangdong, and it will bring disaster to the township, when we can fight back to our hometown." ”

In mid-December 1917, Zhu Qinglan, then governor of Guangdong Province, handed over Chen Jiongming's 12th battalion guard army and reorganized it into the "Guangdong Army for Aiding Fujian and Protecting the Law", marching to Fujian to resist the offensive of Fujian Governor Li Houji. At a certain level, it was also squeezed out by Guidian and other southwestern warlords.

Chen Jiongming concurrently served as the superintendent of Hui Chaomei, set up a local fund-raising bureau, set up a bomb factory and other facilities in Shanwei, and assisted the locals in building roads, developing economic education, and reforming bad habits.

In 1918, after Chen led his army into Zhangzhou, and after an armistice with the Beiyang Army in Fujian, Chen Jiongming began to practice his political ideal of local autonomy in Zhangzhou.

The Zhi Gong Party and Meihua Company have been paying close attention to Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army, and have been providing financial support to Chen Jiongming since he was expelled from Guangdong.

At Chen Jiongming's request, the Meihua Company invested in some small factories in Shantou, Zhangzhou, and other places on the border of Guangdong and Fujian, which was a bit of a way to cooperate with Chen Jiongming's exemplary construction, but in fact, it also made some money.

This is not the first time that Situ Meiden has come to visit Chen Jiongming, and every time he comes to this old friend, he will bring great help to Chen Jiongming.

What made Chen Jiongming secretly grateful was that when the Guangdong army was in the most difficult time, it relied on the weapons funds funded by his old friend Situ Meiden several times to survive. After more than two years of "nourishment," the Cantonese army not only did not disband, but its size expanded slightly, and it was able to maintain the level of 20,000 people.

Knowing that Situ Meiden had something to discuss, Chen Jiongming and the two walked into an ordinary courtyard after a little circle. The courtyard is not big, and it is a little incompatible with Chen Jiongming's identity, but Situ Meiden admires Chen Jiongming's simple style.

"Are my lads alright? Do you need it handy? Situ Meiden asked with a smile.

Last year, Situ Meideng brought Chen Jiongming a batch of arms and some military personnel to help the Cantonese army train soldiers. In order to strengthen Chen Jiongming's military strength, the Zhi Gong Party successively sent 100 low-level non-commissioned officers to the Guangdong army, which greatly enriched Chen Jiongming's originally thin Guangdong army.

Some of these military personnel have also been trained in a safety consulting company and have command ability at the platoon and company level. Taking into account the su zhì of the squadron, these non-commissioned officers who returned from abroad should be able to take on higher-level positions.

Chen Jiongming also relied more and more on these non-commissioned officers, in his opinion, those non-commissioned officers sent by the Zhi Gong Party were young and vigorous, flexible, and better than domestic officers, and more importantly, they did not have bad habits such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs, and if they were cultivated, they could serve as the backbone of the Guangdong army in the future.

"Good. They are all very good, skilled in business, and have helped me a lot, and they are all rare seeds in the army. In particular, the staff officer system that they are preparing to establish is very good, which will greatly enhance the combat capability of our army. Chen Jiongming was full of praise.

As a matter of fact, the staff system in the Cantonese army is now of a very low level, but it also has its advantages in dealing with the domestic warlords who are in a hurry.

Zhangzhou was poor and weak, and it was not difficult to recruit soldiers, but the lack of well-trained military cadres gave him a headache. However, since secretly introducing a group of military instructors from Nanyang, he is now much more relaxed and can concentrate on planning the strategy of the Guangdong army.

"There is also the ammunition provided by the old brother before, the quality is also good, and the officers and soldiers like it very much, much better than those old copper sets. I would like to thank you here, brother. Chen Jiongming said with a smile.

In the past two years, Situ Meiden and Chen Jiongming have moved more and more frequently, and the cooperation between the Zhi Gong Dang and Chen Jiongming has also deepened, and the relationship between the two sides has also become closer. At least in terms of manpower and material resources, the Cantonese army can maintain its current level without the support of Situ Meideng and the Zhi Gong Party......

Chen Jiongming knew that the Nanyang Zhi Gong Party represented by Situ Meideng had reached a relatively unanimous view on many issues, and there was a tendency to get closer and closer.

"We secretly trained our troops in Nanyang, and after we introduced a group of officers from Germany, the army improved very quickly. In order to gain experience, some seeds were secretly sent back to China to participate in the following Cantonese-Guizhou War. This time, my brother is ready to help you with a hand. You also know that the peace on the side of Zhangzhou was immediately broken! "Stuart got straight to the point. That's one of the purposes of his coming today.

"I can't ask for it! Now that the Gui family wants to dominate Guangdong, the Gui army and the Dian army have a dirty quarrel and have already started fighting. There are also many generals in the army who are clamoring to fight back, which makes me annoyed. With more than 100,000 Gui troops on the other side, I am not sure of victory! Chen Jiongming said, "Moreover, I had a falling out with Sun Wen, there were many complaints in the army, and some people also left the army. Fortunately, there are people you brought, and Sun Wen's people are quiet when they leave. ”

After speaking, he sighed faintly. Relying on the barren Chaoshan of Zhangzhou, to maintain this Cantonese army that grandma does not hurt and grandpa does not love, Chen Jiongming is haggard. The bitterness in this is difficult to convey to outsiders. Now the Zhi Gong Party has become the biggest support of the Guangdong army, at least in terms of funds and ammunition materials, the Guangdong army is temporarily inseparable from the Zhi Gong Party, and now there are many non-commissioned officers of the Zhi Gong Party in the army, and the influence of the Zhi Gong Party on the Guangdong Army is getting bigger and bigger.

In this regard, Chen Jiongming knows very well that the cooperation between the two sides is happy and there has been no conflict. Compared with Sun Wen and his Kuomintang, who commanded indiscriminately orders, Situ Meideng and the Zhi Gong Dang were much more pragmatic and often considered the interests of the Cantonese army.

Chen Jiongming, who was supported by the Zhi Gong Party, was not without reason, and it was also agreed by Situ Nan. Looking at China, there are countless warlords, but only two of them are really hard at farming, one is Yan Xishan in the north and the other is Chen Jiongming in the south.

Chen Jiongming has little ambition and has no idea of becoming a king or hegemon, and his greatest wish is local autonomy, quietly nesting in Guangdong, building the place well, and realizing his ideals.

Although he had followed Sun Wen, in essence, the two had too many differences to get along. Sun has prestige, but he has no strength, so he has to rely on other people's troops, and Chen Jiongming naturally becomes the force he relies on the most.

Later generations thought that Chen Jiongming betrayed and betrayed Sun Wen, but it sounds reasonable, but it is not. After all, the army is Chen's, not surnamed Sun, but just temporarily borrowing Sun's name.

Just like the Foxconn foundry, although it produces Apple mobile phones, Foxconn does not belong to Apple, and maybe Foxconn will cooperate with Samsung again in the next moment.

In Situ Nan's view, Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army is in such an embarrassing situation, so the Zhi Gong Party has always wanted to promote Chen Jiongming's cooperation with the Zhi Gong Party, self-reliance, and play its own brand. Otherwise, it will be a pity to be used and thrown away like history, and it will end up as no one is a ghost or a ghost.

"Jingcun, last time you separated from Sun Wen, he didn't embarrass you, right?" Situ Meiden asked with a smile, and nodded again, "Good morning to disperse, now we can also cooperate more deeply." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a few words of being scolded, I'm used to it. Compared with him, it's always someone else who is wrong. I didn't say anything last time Xu Chongzhi took 2,000 people from me, and I didn't leave anyone in the army who was willing to go with him. Alas, how to say it? Sun Wen and I are easy to say, but we all have our own ideas, he has his stubbornness, and I also have insistence, but after all, we can't get along, and it's better to separate amicably. ”

Chen Jiongming sighed faintly. Silent. Last year, during a strategic discussion on the Guangdong army, Chen Jiongming accidentally mentioned the plan of inter-provincial autonomy, which was bitterly scolded by Sun Wen. After criticizing Chen Jiongming, Sun Wen also asked the Guangdong army to go on a northern expedition to crusade against the Beiyang warlords in Jiangxi, but Chen Jiongming refused. The reason is that the Cantonese army is now nesting on the border of Guangdong and Fujian, and it is not easy to retain a little strength, and it is absolutely impossible to consume it with a powerful enemy.

After falling out with Sun Wen, some generals in the Cantonese army who favored Sun Wen accelerated the pace of seeking the Cantonese army, trying to overthrow Chen Jiongming and promote Xu Chongzhi, who was loyal to Sun Wen, to the leader of the Cantonese army. So Chen Jiongming invited those dissenting generals away. The details of this are difficult to mention with the envoy Situ Meiden, but after that, Chen Jiongming alienated himself from the fingerprint party, decided to be independent, and cooperated closely with the Zhi Gong Party.

Situ Meiden saw that Chen Jiongming didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he was silently thinking about his own thoughts.

However, looking at what the Kuomintang has done in the past few years, it is eager for quick success and quick gain, and has no long-term plan, and many times it is the leaders who pat their heads and act rashly.

Situ Nan Nan Deng slowly felt that as early as a few years ago, Situ Nan's evaluation of them was really right. With the rapid development of the Meihua Company and the Zhi Gong Party in the past few years, Situ Meideng's vision has also been much higher, and he has somewhat looked down on Sun Wen's approach, and he has also actively dug into the corner of the other party's wall - the Yue Army.

In these years, when you come out to mix, you have to rely on your strength, and it is not possible to shout slogans to make others work hard. It would be nice if Jing Cun also joined the Zhi Gong Party.

Thinking of this, Situ Meiden looked at Chen Jiongming with some expectations. However, Chen was a small warlord after all, and when the words came to his lips, Situ Meiden swallowed them back.

He didn't know that in history, it was he and Chen Jiongming, Tang Jiyao and others who founded the Zhi Gong Party, and this party had a lot of dirt with the Jiang Ji Kuomintang who inherited Sun Wenyu's bowl, and finally got involved with the Red Party.

And Chen Jiongming personally became a tragedy and was condemned as a rebellious minister and thief. In particular, the so-called shelling of the presidential palace made Chen Jiongming the target of everyone's punishment.

In fact, among the people's ** valves, Chen is the cleanest one. The so-called bombardment of Sun's presidential palace incident was caused by Sun Wen's disgraceful role and his failure to fulfill his promise to step down.

Chen Jiongming's subordinates wanted to take Sun Wen away, and informed Sun Wen in advance. Sun refused to leave. persuaded hard, but still refused to leave. So someone in the Cantonese army mentioned that he would open a cannon to scare him.

As a result, three shots were fired, the first two were empty guns, and the last one was a real guy. However, the muzzle of the cannon had already fallen open, and the hair did not hurt a single one.

However, seeing that the other party is really here, it is still important to save his life, and Sun Wen immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet when he heard the sound of cannons. Before leaving, he ordered the guards to hold on, but clashed with the army outside.

Originally, it was just a farce where both sides knew the plot, and it should be over here. But the actors of a certain party are more involved in the play, perhaps because they feel that they have lost face, and they decide to add a play to get back on the scene.

Sun Wen fled to the warship (props that had been prepared earlier) and ordered the shelling of Guangzhou. The captain objected, how could the dignified navy shell the civilian area?

Sun was furious, rolled up his sleeves, personally operated artillery, and bombarded the civilian area indiscriminately, resulting in more than 100 civilians killed and injured, and countless houses collapsed.

As for the enemy troops, it was not a wounded one. Because people know that venting is venting, the shelling of army batteries will be counterattacked, and small lives may not be guaranteed, unlike shelling civilian areas as freely, and it is very safe.

If there is a drama to add to this history, it is that someone later traveled thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage to a warship. In fact, I lost the money and wanted to run away and take refuge. It is the same experience of the fallen people at the end of the world, so that they cherish each other. A certain was also accepted as a confidant, and finally rose to prominence.

Historically, because of the bombardment of Guangzhou City, Sun Wen took over a mortal enmity with the Cantonese army and became persona non grata in Guangzhou. A few years later, when he died in Beijing, the whole country mourned, but the people of his hometown of Guangdong were very happy, and even opposed Sun Wen's state funeral, which was really an endless bad debt.

It is certain that Sun Wen will not be liked in Guangdong, because this is a merchant city, and Sun Wen's unscrupulous violent revolution is contrary to the commercial tradition of Guangzhou.

However, the Meihua Company and the Nanyang Chinese businessmen attached to the Zhi Gong Party had a large amount of investment in Guangdong, and they needed a powerful agent to help their own interests, so Situ Meiden couldn't help but try hard to win over Chen Jiongming. Once Sun Wen is allowed to control Guangdong Province, it will be a disaster for Meihua Company.

Situ Nan had discussed this topic with the top brass of the Zhi Gong Party, and decided to give his full support to Chen Jiongming, let Chen Jiongming stand on his own, and block the infiltration of Sun Wen and his Kuomintang into Guangdong.

With this purpose in mind, Situ Meiden once again found Chen Jiongming, and this time he brought the greatest sincerity of the Zhi Gong Party.

"Jingcun, this is the list this time, with this batch of arms, I believe you will defeat the Gui army and the Dian army and recover Guangzhou." Stuart said.

"This is a great opportunity! We're all looking at you! Situ Meiden added.

Chen Jiongming glanced at it, and his eyes jumped out-

30,000 Medan imitation Mauser 98 rifles, 200 Maxine machine guns, 500 Mauser pistols (box guns), 100 40 or 60 caliber mortars, 30 75 caliber mountain guns, 5 105 howitzers! There are countless supplies of ammunition of all kinds.
