The whole army marched south at a speed of 60 kilometers a day, and by 5 November, news came that Lu Dayou and Lin Fengxiang's troops had given Ye Mingchen a great gift on 1 November, that is, the afternoon of the day the Democratic Republic of South Vietnam was proclaimed, and easily took Fuzhou.

On 15 November, Wang Feng led the main force into Fuzhou City, and so far, all the central and northern parts of Fujian fell into the hands of the Democratic League.

Five days later, surrounded by the East China Sea Fleet, the Portuguese Governor in Macao, Gemales, led the defenders of 500 and all the Portuguese to surrender with a white flag, this is no way, if you don't surrender, you will die, the Portuguese play only two roles in world history, one is to bully the weak and weak, such as the Indians in South America, the indigenous people of Southeast Asia and the black Africans, and the other is to be sneaky and sneaky, and can only eat some leftovers behind the powers.

Let the Portuguese fight hard with the Democratic Alliance, and give him ten dares not dare, not to mention that Macao, because of its discriminatory colonial rule, was already brewing an uprising at the moment of the arrival of the East China Sea Fleet.

With regard to Portuguese nationals stationed in Macao, Chen Laoda, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, adheres to the consistent foreign policy of the Democratic Alliance Forces, and those who are willing to stay in the country can stay in the country after being disarmed, and the safety of life and property will be protected by the Democratic Alliance Forces. No compensation will be paid for land and property.

More than 2,000 Portuguese, led by Gemalão, began to be transported to Hong Kong one after another with their personal property the next day. There were less than three hundred Portuguese willing to stay.

Three more days passed. After fierce fighting, the West Route Army spent a day and a night to conquer Shaoguan, according to the battle report that came, the battle was extremely fierce, the city of Shaoguan was bombarded into a pile of debris by artillery fire, and then through a short period of street fighting to occupy the whole city of Shaoguan, it was a battle, the Democratic Alliance army was seriously wounded and killed 1,312 people, and the defending enemy was killed nearly 15,000!

Thereupon. Wang Feng immediately ordered the East Route Army to garrison Shaoguan to rest and recuperate, and personally led the main force to divide the troops south, conquering Putian, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Chaozhou all the way, stationed in Huizhou, and conquering Longyan, Jiaying Prefecture (now Meizhou, Guangdong) and Heyuan on the other road, and by December 10, they would join forces in Huizhou, only 130 kilometers away from Guangzhou.

After capturing Huizhou and Shaoguan, the Democratic Alliance forces must stop. It needs to replenish food, weapons and ammunition, and it also needs to be sent to the Western Route Army, and a large area of land has been obtained in a short period of time, which needs to be initially digested and rectified. For example, meeting with representatives from all walks of life and enlightened gentlemen, cracking down on the power of the bully squire clan, and raiding the house. The extermination of the race, the pacification of the appeasement. The reuse of the reuse has set off a storm in Fujian and northern Guangdong.

Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao were very busy. The sky above Guangzhou City seems to be shrouded in a layer of clouds, which is so suffocating that people can't breathe.

In addition to Bao Ling, Pa Xiali, Jing Yihua, Ye Mingchen, and Wu Chongyao, there were also the Governor of Macao, Lieutenant General Genui, the plenipotentiary envoy of the Second French Empire in Indochina, Lieutenant General Nguyen Boyi, the minister of the Nguyen Dynasty, the general Li Tingli, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian, Lu Yansun, and the former Guangdong bureaucrat and the representatives of the 13 industrial and commercial banks, who had become officials of the republic, numbered more than 100 people.

"Everyone!" Ye Mingchen arched his hand: "The speed of the march of the Democratic League Army, the advantage of the soldiers, beyond the expectations of all of us, now the important towns in northern Guangdong are lost, there is no barrier in Guangzhou, the Democratic League Army Le Ma Huizhou Shaoguan, the naval fleet forcibly occupies Macao, has shown a trend of land and water, my South Vietnamese Democratic Republic is facing a life-and-death crisis, I Ye someone in the name of the president, please be sure to contribute your words and suggestions, money and efforts, and jointly save our new democratic republic!" ”

Ye Mingchen's words were sonorous and powerful, but there were not many voices that echoed him, before he saw the Democratic Alliance, just hearing about it, coupled with the smear and scandalization of the Qing Dynasty, a considerable number of businessmen from the Thirteen Lines didn't think how powerful the Democratic Alliance Army was, they just thought it was a shit luck, but they were really beaten to the doorstep, they were scared and frightened, and they had to consider the consequences of continuing to support Ye Mingchen, and whether it was necessary to go against the Democratic Alliance.

"Humph!" Wu Chongyao swept his eyes coldly, and said angrily: "I know that some people have retreated in their hearts, but I must warn some people who are not strong-willed, our government will severely punish any rebellious behavior, now, in my capacity as the prime minister of the government, I propose to His Excellency the President to promulgate a state of emergency law, citizens have the obligation to unconditionally support the country in fighting foreign enemies, but any act of collaborating with the enemy or passive non-cooperation will be regarded as rebellion, and all will be arrested and punished, and the specific terms will be submitted to His Excellency the President tomorrow!" ”

"Accurate!" Ye Mingchen was like an emperor, spitting out a quasi-word.

There was an immediate whisper below, and it was obvious that many people were very dissatisfied with Wu Chongyao's high-pressure situation.

Wu Chongyao's words softened slightly, and said: "At an extraordinary moment, you should do extraordinary things, once the crisis is resolved, the government will immediately declare an exit from the state of emergency, everyone, don't think that the government's methods are harsh, I can tell you very responsibly, if the city of Guangzhou is broken, you will be miserable, you will be exterminated by the Democratic League, your wife and daughter will be divided by the Democratic League, I am by no means intimidating, the Democratic Alliance will break northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, will such things happen less?"

At this critical moment, we need to join hands to join hands to Wu Someone, who is not only the head of Jardine Matheson, but also the prime minister of the government, should play an exemplary role, I donate 100,000 taels of silver to the government in my personal name! ”

Wu Chongyao beckoned, and an entourage handed over a stack of silver tickets, all of which were one thousand, one hundred neatly, and after showing them below, he personally put them into the donation box.

"Okay, Mr. Wu is brave and loyal, the country has such a pillar, why worry that the Democratic Alliance will not retreat? Everyone applauds and welcomes! Bao Ling was the first to applaud.

"Papa~~" The applause in the hall was like thunder, but the faces of many people changed, which clearly showed the rhythm of forced donations.

Sure enough, as soon as the applause stopped, Wu Chongyao set his sights on Lu Jiguang, the shopkeeper of Guangli Bank, who ranked second in the thirteen lines.

Lu Jiguang is about 60 years old, an old guy, serving as vice premier of the government, and Wu Chongyao are tied to the same boat, and immediately shouted: "The old man donated 100,000 taels!" ”

"I, Pan Zhengwei, donate 100,000 taels on behalf of Tongfu Xing!"

"I will also donate 100,000 taels!"

All of a sudden, there was a constant call for pledges, but it was clear to the small and medium-sized businessmen that all the big businessmen who were actively pledging were the big businessmen headed by the thirteen merchants, who held important positions in the government and had a vested interest in the new regime.

However, the small and medium-sized businessmen are not well-known, their family assets are not rich, and even if they are invited to the government, they hold some irrelevant positions, and they are reluctant to donate according to their conscience.

But in such a situation, it was not possible not to donate, so I had to grit my teeth one after another, ranging from 50,000 taels to 10,000 taels, and was forced to donate. (To be continued......)
