Hearing Chang Ruiqing say this, the smile on Sun Yat-sen's face couldn't be hidden, as if he had seen the throne in Beijing beckoning to him!

He slapped his face: "This time, Beiyang wants us to send troops north to resist Russia, presumably those overseers and provincial governors can't stop our army, right?" What about when our army marches into Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Shanghai? Isn't it time to clean up all those warlords? ”

Chang Ruiqing couldn't help laughing: "Of course we want to clean up, but for different warlords, we can also adopt different methods." For example, Granny Tan in Hunan has neither strength nor backing, and his autonomy in Hunan is not very good, so I think it is better to invite him to Guangzhou to be the dean of the examination! Hunan Province from the 214th in the Central to the north to resist the Russian Seven is too insidious! Directly under the central government, the implementation of military and political rule! The qiē system refers to Fujian and Guangdong, the Hunan army in Hunan, and the Yunnan army with three divisions are also adapted according to the standards of the National Revolutionary Army! Organized into the Eleventh Army.

Zhejiang, Shanghai, Lu Zijia and He Fenglin have a good schedule during this time, and they don't mean to be embarrassed by us. It is better to appoint them as chairman and commander of security in Zhejiang Province and mayor and commander of security in Shanghai...... The Fourth and Tenth Divisions of Beiyang can be reorganized into the new Second Army, and Zhejiang and Shanghai can refer to Sichuan and implement autonomy first, but the customs duties of the Jiangxi Customs must be handed over to the central government! The New Second Army can also be controlled by Lu and He, and let them continue to be at ease in Zhejiang and Shanghai for a while. It also gives some hope to the other warlords of the Beiyang system.

As for Jiangxi, it's just a poor province! Chen Guangyuan is only a soldier of one division, and he has no strength. Wait until Hunan and Zhejiang are all calmed down. Send someone to send him a check for 3.5 million yuan, and let him go to the field to hand over the military power by himself! ”

Sun Yat-sen looked at Chang Ruiqing and said lightly: "I am not worried about Hunan and Jiangxi...... With the appeal of Cheng Songyun and Li Xiehe, plus the strength of the three armies, it is definitely handy. But where Lu Zijia ...... Brother Yaoru, he is your in-law, and the 214th north to resist Russia is too insidious! It's better for you to solve it. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded. Sun Yat-sen continued: "If the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang can be taken. In addition, the existing Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, which are about to be defeated...... The territory of the national government has swelled to nine provinces at once! ”

"It's ten provinces!" Chang Ruiqing reminded with a smile: "Liaoning is almost our territory." ”

Sun Yat-sen frowned, and his tone was already solemn: "Yes." There is also Liaoning...... But Brother Yaoru, there is no problem for us to expand our territory in the name of resisting Russia, as long as we can drive the Russians out! Otherwise, we'll do it. I'm afraid that it will attract the criticism of the world! ”

Chang Ruiqing looked at Sun Yat-sen quietly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the words of "people in the world criticize", and finally smiled faintly, and his tone was stern: "Sir, the battle against Russia is really a must-win!" Don't look at the menacing Russian army, there is actually nothing remarkable...... Because it was just the private soldiers of the two Russian ** lords, that was the capital of Semenov and Horvat, and they were reluctant to throw these funds on Chinese soil! And this time they are alone in the depths, the rear is empty, and the logistics are not good. It's all about intimidating us. Or the idea of defeating us. If their rear is unstable, or if their supplies are difficult to maintain, they will definitely retreat without a fight, and then let Commander-in-Chief Chiang command the army to cover the killing, and they can easily achieve a great victory. ”

Sun Yat-sen stood up and patted Chang Ruiqing on the shoulder. said with a smile: "Brother Yaoru, then speaking of which, you must have a way to make the rear of Belarus unstable and poorly paid?" ”

Chang Ruiqing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "The method is already there, and the subordinates will ask the General Staff to issue it to the Northeast Anti-Russian Army Command in the name of guidance." Listen or not. It's a matter for Commander-in-Chief Chiang. ”

After the guidance of the General Headquarters of the Military Commission and the General Headquarters of the Anti-Russian Army in Northeast China arrived, the commander-in-chief Chiang probably didn't even look at it, and threw it directly into the wastebasket. It's not because he doesn't pay attention to Chang Ruiqing's opinion, but Jiang Jishi is really busy now, and he is too busy to think about anti-Russian things!

His headquarters was moved from Yingkou to Mukden City on November 6, the day before President Feng Guozhang announced the "United Resistance against Russia" telegram. After entering this Zhang Zuolin's lair, he began to talk about the dove occupying the magpie's nest! On the one hand, he made friends with the generals of the Feng Army, sprinkled a lot of money and made wishes for officials, and on the other hand, in the name of reorganizing the Feng Army to resist the Russian army, he often stuffed people in the ranks, most of whom were his students at the Whampoa Military Academy.

In addition, it is to intensify its collusion with the forces of Japanese imperialism! The Japanese consul general in Mukden, Nanataro Yada, is now Jiang Jshi's political adviser, and it turns out that Xu Shuzheng's adviser Kenji Dohihara also went to Mukden to be Lao Chiang's military adviser! There are also some Japanese businessmen and military officers here in the northeast, who are guests of his anti-Russian army headquarters.

In the end, he was busy piecing together his own staff team. Zhang Jingjiang, his "revolutionary mentor" in Shanghai, Wang Bailing, his classmate at the Baoding Military Academy and the Zhenwu School of the Japanese Army, Zhang Qun, a Japanese general in the Kuomintang, and Dai Jitao, a talented Kuomintang who once served as a secretary by Sun Yat-sen's side, were all invited to Fengtian by his side. In addition to dealing with various people and things every day, he is to discuss and plot with these cronies and staff.

On November 12, as soon as he sent Yata Shiataro out of the door, he saw Wang Bailing walking in, looking at him with a smile, and holding a telegram in his hand.

Jiang Jshi smiled: "Maoru, sit down." I'm in a rough situation here, and you're very busy, aren't you? What's not going on? Wang Bailing said with a smile: "It's a European thing, the world war is over!" Germany had just signed an armistice at the Compiègne Forest, and the Allies had been defeated! ”

Jiang Jishi took the telegram from Wang Bailing's hand, glanced at it twice, and put the telegram aside. From the news of the November Revolution in Germany two days ago, he knew that Germany had lost the war, but in his opinion, this matter had nothing to do with China. He picked up a copy of Wen Jiàn on his desk and handed it to Wang Bailing and said, "Maoru, this is a report sent by Tang Jiu, the acting commander of the Independent Division of the Northeast Anti-Russian Army. His army was attacked by Wu Peifu's troops in Beiyang last month. Suffering heavy losses, he could not gain a foothold in the territory of Jilin Province, so he had to retreat to the territory of Russia...... It seems that you, the commander of an independent division, will not be able to do it. ”

Wang Bailing smiled indifferently: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, this army is originally the team of the Red Brigade, and I may not be able to command it if it is given it." Besides, I'm under Brother Kai-shek now, am I still afraid that I won't have a soldier? ”

Jiang Jishi pinched his brows and smiled bitterly: "I, the commander-in-chief, am also an empty head. The master of Fengjun is still the Zhang Yuting who was detained by Xu Youzheng! He is the legitimate security commander of the three eastern provinces, and I, the commander of the Northeast Anti-Russian Army, is only temporary. ”

Wang Bailing nodded silently, not embarrassed by the situation Jiang Jshi is in now. He couldn't have been clearer. Although it looks quite beautiful on the surface, the division commanders and brigade commanders of the Feng army also praised him, and the Japanese seem to support him very much. But Jiang J Shi doesn't have the strength to be genuine! The graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy he stuffed into the Fengjun were only low-ranking officers. I don't have much power at all. As for the two troops that were being brought in from the south one after another, they were not his private soldiers of Jiang Jshi, one was the National Revolutionary Army under the firm control of the Military Committee, and the other was the semi-private army of the Guangxi warlords.

Jiang Jishi sighed again: "Originally, I wanted to take that independent division over and bring it to you, so it can be regarded as a bit of strength." But I didn't expect Chang Yaoru to refuse to give me even this bit of strength! It seems that if you want to open up the situation, you can only start with Fengjun! With that, he stood up, walked to Wang Bailing's side, pressed his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Maoru, I want you to go to Harbin to see Xu Youzheng!" ”

"Xu Youzheng?" Wang Bailing raised his head. looked at Jiang J Shi suspiciously: "Brother J Shi, what do you mean?"

Jiang Jishi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "As long as Zhang Yuting is in one day, he is the leader of the old bandits in the Feng army, and we are all fools who want to really control the Feng army, unless he, the big brother of the Feng army, does not exist!" ”

Wang Bailing stood up immediately: "Brother J Shi." What are you doing? ”

Jiang Jishi grabbed his hand, said calmly, and said coldly: "Xu Youzheng is trapped in Harbin now, and Beiyang is now in a situation of waiting for destruction, I think he will not be reconciled!" I can give him a chance, as long as he helps me kill Zhang Yuting! ”

"What! What the! Wang Bailing's eyes widened and he looked at his old friend. Jiang Jishi's face was already gloomy and a little terrifying, and he went down word by word: "Maoru, you go and sue Xu Youzheng, I have no interest in leaving his four divisions in Harbin!" I just want Zhang Yuting's life, as long as he is willing to make it convenient, I will also give him a convenience and let his people go back to Guannei! ”

"Brother J Shi, are you serious!?" Wang Bailing asked in a trembling voice.

Jiang Jshi nodded coldly: "Seriously!" Maoru, you go and tell Xu Youzheng, I can let two divisions of Beiyang soldiers enter the customs first, and then he will give me Zhang Yuting's life, and I will let the last two divisions of Beiyang soldiers go. ”

Wang Bailing took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay!" I'll go to Harbin now, but if Xu Youzheng's Fourth Division enters the Guanguan, it will be troublesome over there."

Jiang Jishi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "That's also Chang Yaoru's trouble!" ”

Chang Ruiqing returned to his mansion at the foot of Guanyin Mountain briskly, although he was still trying his best to maintain a reserved appearance on his face, but he still couldn't hide that smile.

His younger brother Chang Ruiyuan, Miss Lu Si and Wu Yan'er stood in front of him. Chang Ruiyuan no longer has the demeanor he had when he was a little hearer, and he already has a bit of a big man who can call the wind and rain in his gestures. In fact, with the strong rise of Chang Ruiqing and the national government and the continuous retreat of Beiyang, Chang Ruiyuan's status in Shanghai's black and white roads is naturally rising, and his old man Huang Jinrong also gathered disciples a while ago, and burned Chang Ruiyuan's apprenticeship sticker in public, saying that he wanted to be commensurate with his brother! As for his father-in-law, Lao Taishan Lu Yongxiang, he spared no effort to promote him, even if he openly married Wu Yan'er into the door, the father and daughter of the Lu family only regarded this as no such thing. This time, in the name of Chang Ruiyuan, a major general of the Zhejiang army, was appointed to Guangzhou to contact the Nationalist Government about the change of banner.

Seeing his brother looking at himself, Chang Ruiyuan imitated the appearance of the big bosses of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, holding a cigar between his fingers and clasping his fists and saluting: "Big brother." Don't come unharmed. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded at his younger brother, smiled at the two younger brothers-in-law, and took his younger brother's hand and walked in the direction of the study. After entering the study, he said to Chang Ruiyuan: "What conditions does Lu Zijia propose?" ”

Chang Ruiyuan found a chair and sat down, cocked Erlang's legs, and said to Chang Ruiqing with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the two pieces of land in Zhejiang and Shanghai will be ruled by him and He Fenglin." There is also the National Revolutionary Army that cannot be stationed in Zhejiang for a long time. As for Shanghai, my father-in-law and He Fenglin did not say that they would not allow our National Revolutionary Army to be stationed, but the foreign devils in Shanghai had privately expressed to me that they would not allow the National Revolutionary Army to be stationed. In exchange, they agreed to hand over the customs surplus of the Jiang Customs to the Nationalist Government. But the tax revenue of the Jiang Customs must be used to repay China's foreign arrears on a priority basis, big brother, you see"

Chang Ruiqing nodded. At present, the Nationalist Government has shown a strong nationalist and reddening tendency, and of course it does not please the imperialists very much! It is not surprising that they do not want the National Revolutionary Army to be stationed in Shanghai, and it is even more normal that they are unwilling to give up the interests of the Jianghai Customs. It's just that now is not the time to tear up your face with these foreign devils right away! Although that day will not be far away.

What he is worried about now is not the imperialist forces, but the attitude of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium towards him. The current Nationalist Government has a lot of socialist elements, and it also has the title of a member of the Central Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and its own trade union forces led by his brother Wang Yaqiao are somewhat contradictory to these leaders of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebols. If these guys don't want to maintain a relationship with them, it's a bit of a headache. However, this worry did not show in his expression.

He smiled at Chang Ruiyuan and said, "Ruiyuan." If you go to Sue Lu Zijia, I can accept his request. Not only that, but I also want to add a little brother Xiaojia (Lu Yongxiang's son) is not too young, it's time to come out and do something big! The Military Council is preparing for the establishment of the Army University, and I want Brother Shinoka to go and gild it as well. It will be very useful in the future. You convey my thoughts to Lu Zijia and ask for his opinion. ”

Chang Ruiyuan is also a smart person, how can he not understand what his brother means? It seems that Chang Ruiqing wants to kill two birds with one stone, on the one hand, he takes Lu Xiaojia as a hostage in his hands. On the one hand, he is also preparing to promote Lu Xiaojia to win over Lu Yongxiang's forces for his own use, and his abacus is very shrewd.

Thinking of this, he smiled and patted his chest and said, "Big brother, my father-in-law is knowledgeable about current affairs. He will definitely be able to see your hard work, and he will not refuse to let Brother Shinoka come out and do something. However, Brother Xiaojia is a man of temperament, and he will ask his eldest brother to take care of him more when the time comes. ”

Chang Ruiqing naturally agreed, and then he chatted with his younger brother for a few more words before asking the housekeeper to arrange for the three of them to rest. And he, a busy man, has an important guest to meet before dinner, and that is Zhou Elai, who has just returned from the Northeast.

Zhou Elai visited secretly, and the place where the two met was also a hidden office in the Chang Mansion. When Chang Ruiqing walked into this office, Zhou Elai had already arrived, and he was chatting with Li Huang, the secretary he introduced to Chang Ruiqing. Seeing Chang Ruiqing coming in, the two of them were about to get up to greet him, but Chang Ruiqing smiled and waved his hand: "It's all your own people, what's polite?" ”

He pulled a chair and sat down in front of the two of them, frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Elai: "Comrade Xiangyu, there is one thing I want to discuss with you, an armed force controlled by our party retreated into Russia after being defeated by the Beiyang Army at the end of last month!" At the moment they have crossed the Russian Primorsky railway line and are marching along the Amur River. ”

Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing, a very ruthless guy, actually had a worried look on his face, was he worried about the safety of his wild and beautiful sister-in-law? Zhou Elai was confused by what he said, hasn't the Beiyang Army now retreated back to Harbin? Why didn't this armed "our party" return home, but advance towards the Amur River? Where do they want to go?

Chang Ruiqing sighed again: "Originally, this army had the opportunity to return to China, but some Russian comrades in this army were officers and soldiers of the former Soviet Russian Red Army who were dispersed, as well as comrades from the Russian GCD, and their opinion was that they wanted our force to stay in the Russian Far East and help the Russian revolution!" Comrade eLai, you also know the situation in the Russian Far East, and you have also read the text of the "Secret Treaty between Japan and Russia", do you think we should let this armed force stay in the Far East to help the Russian revolution? ”

Listening to Chang Ruiqing's words, Zhou Elai felt a little strange. He knew a little about the armament of this red brigade. However, the Red Brigade is not an organization led by Zhong G, and this army has nothing to do with Zhong G, it has always been Chang Ruiqing who controls it, why has it become "our party's arm" now? Moreover, he had to develop in the Far East, where the situation was extremely chaotic, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the vice chairman of the Standing Committee in front of him must be trying to use the brand of China G to engage in some kind of conspiracy and trickery in the Far East! But Zhou Elai has always had a very good relationship with Chang Ruiqing, and he is not the kind of revolutionary who is particularly principled and does not know how to be flexible at all. So he said to Chang Ruiqing with a solemn face: "Brother Yaoru, I think it is feasible to let them stay in the Far East to help the Russian revolution, I will go and talk to Comrade Yue Fei, the special envoy of the Russian G, I believe I can convince him." ”！！！
