If the previous meeting between Zhang Xueji and Wang Zhenyu was a meeting of gentlemen, then the conversation in the third conference room of Yuanjiang Hotel is a meeting of villains.

Zhang Xueji is now looking at Yang Yongtai with an angry face, he really can't imagine that there are such greedy people on Shijie.

"Brother Xueji, don't think that our request is excessive, not only did we not ask you for anything, but we also have to send the army to take corn for you, so the conditions are already very generous" Yang Yongtai teased Zhang Xueji in a lazy tone.

Zhang Xueji finally couldn't bear to slap the table, "Joke, you want the whole of Guangdong?" Do you know the significance of Guangdong to Mr. Sun and our party? You really have too much appetite, and you are not afraid of indigestion after eating. There is also southern Hunan, where Comrade Lin Xiumei of our party has been stationed for many years, and his revolutionary qualifications are even higher than that of Wang Dashuai (when he was a division commander, your marshal was still a brigade commander of the People's Army), I think it is unreasonable for you to ask them to attack Jiangxi as soon as the war starts, and I hope that in front of Yuan Thief, everyone had better unite and not calculate against each other, let alone the idea of attacking the territory of the brother troops. ”

Yang Yongtai fastened the button of the suit on his body and said, "Brother Xueji, don't be so angry, do you know where this table came from?" ”

Zhang Xueji glanced at Yang Yongtai with disgust: "I don't care where you came from, don't talk about the topic." ”

Yang Yongtai shook his head and said: "This is the conference table produced by Jingzhou Furniture Factory, which is made of haode nanmu, so I'm not afraid that you will shoot it, but I'm very worried about whether your hands will hurt?" ”

This pun immediately made Zhang Xueji wake up: Yes, now the situation is stronger than people, and his side needs the support of Wang Zhenyu and others, and the support of the local government of Xianggui, otherwise how will Mr. Sun Yat-sen achieve a leading position in the future national defense movement? What's the use of being angry here now, at most, people will tear their faces and not talk to you, it seems that the current Wang Zhenyu and the local government of Xianggui are all under the name of Xiong Xiling, who has gone into the wild, in the eyes of the world.

Zhang Xueji is also a bull, he immediately stopped being angry, he sat down with a wry smile: "Brother Changqing, didn't Wang Shuai also say it this morning, since we are talking about cooperation now, then we need to share common ground while reserving differences, and many things must be negotiated and tolerated with each other, don't you say?" ”

Zhang Xueji is soft, and the next thing is much easier to talk about......

Yang Yongtai firmly grasped the initiative in the negotiations: "In fact, there is nothing to fight for in Guangdong Province, Long Jiguang and his army are nesting there, as far as I know, the army of Mr. Chen Jiongming of your party may not be able to help them." We have no interest in the Heyuan, Meizhou, and Chaoshan areas in northern Guangdong, which are actually controlled by your party, all we want is to eliminate Long Jiguang and have an outlet to the sea at the same time, after all, so many people always need to do business to maintain their meals. Therefore, on the issue of Guangzhou, we hope that there will not be too much friction and dispute between the two sides, and of course on the issue of Fujian, we will also have the power to support General Xu Chongzhi of your party to wag the most resolute struggle against the Beiyang Army entrenched in Fuzhou. What do you say, Brother Xueji? ”

Zhang Xueji was extremely depressed at the moment, the whole negotiation was completely dominated by Yang Yongtai in front of him, and he lacked strength to support himself except for agreeing to relay the relevant content. However, the words of support for Fujian still attracted Zhang Xueji's attention, and he asked softly: "I don't know what kind of support Brother Changqing said?" It won't be spiritual and verbal support! ”

"How is that possible, we are different from you Mr. Sun, we have a territory and an army, and we can take out real things, so we don't need to write blank checks. Since it is support, it must be substantial support, not to mention more, 5,000 Hanyang-made, 200,000 bullets, how about it? Yang Yongtai directly set out the conditions.

Zhang Xueji was dumbfounded after hearing this condition, what was the most lacking during the Republic of China, arms! How did the Chinese become poor, like Africans today, with precious wealth in exchange for arms, and then use it to kill each other.

But where there is arms, there is an army, there is territory, there is power, there is money. Zhang Xueji was immediately moved, Yang Yongtai must be right about one thing, Guangzhou is still in the hands of Long Jiguang, and they can't take it back by Chen Jiongming alone. And Fujian is also under the control of Beiyang, if Xu Chongzhi and they can get assistance, maybe they can take it back, and it is not impossible to transfer troops from Fujian to defeat Long Jiguang and recapture Guangzhou together with the Cantonese army in northern Guangdong. Zhang Xueji put Wang Zhenyu and Long Jiguang in one position in his heart, it is best for these two warlords to fight you to the death in Guangzhou, half a catty and eight taels, and Mr. Sun will clean up Fujian and then go back to clean up these two goods. With a plan in mind, Zhang Xueji said, "Okay, I'll report to Mr. Sun first." When we have news, we will continue to talk about ......"

In the manor of Umeya Yoshizhuang in Yokohama, Japan, in the early morning, Sun Yat-sen, who was sleeping under a mosquito net, was woken up by his secretary Song Qingling: "Sir, the urgent call from Shanghai needs to be dealt with by you." ”

That is, Song Qingling, if someone else wakes up Sun Yat-sen at this time, he will be scolded sharply.

Although the Kuomintang had retreated from the mainland, Sun Yat-sen's prestige within the party had risen instead of falling. After the founding of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, Sun Yat-sen became the old bean of the entire party.

"Little Song" Sun Yat-sen reluctantly sat up, and then looked at Song Qingling with a happy face: "Oh, it's from Ince, show it to me." ”

Song Qingling gently handed the telegram to Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen took the telegram very gracefully and read it carefully. After reading it, he said: "Well, Qingling, you work hard, invite Zhantang (Hu Hanmin) Ruwei (Xu Chongzhi) and Zhongkai (Liao Zhongkai, also known as Liao Yibai) over, and we want everyone to discuss this matter together." ”

After a while, Hu Hanmin, Xu Chongzhi, and Liao Zhongkai walked in together, and Sun Yat-sen directly handed the telegram to Hu Hanmin: "You see, this is the telegram sent back by Comrade Zhang Xueji, who was sent to Xiangxi to do Xiangxi to inspect and make Wang Zhenyu work. ”

Then Sun Yat-sen didn't say anything, stood up and leaned against the window with his hands behind his back and looked out of the window, Xu Chongzhi was still waiting for Hu Hanmin to finish reading, and then suddenly reached out and patted his left arm, and as a result, a mosquito that drank blood was glorious.

Hu Hanmin didn't speak after reading it, and handed it to Xu Chongzhi, who had just wiped the blood stains off his hands, and Xu Chongzhi just glanced at it twice and gave it to Liao Zhongkai.

As soon as Liao Zhongkai finished reading it, he shot the case, and said loudly and angrily: "Prime Minister (that's right, that's what it is called at this time), this, this, this Wang Zhenyu's ambition is not small, he actually wants the territory of Guangdong, it is simply the ambition of a wolf, given time, this son must be Yuan Shikai's second, we must not agree to his request, and we must not chill the hearts of the comrades who insist on resolutely fighting against Long Jiguang in Guangzhou." ”

Looking at the excited Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin said softly after exchanging glances with Xu Chongzhi: "Prime Minister, what Brother Zhongkai said is not unreasonable, Yuan Shikai will not hurt our roots, but this Wang Zhenyu is going to cut the meat directly from us." If Guangzhou is handed over to him, then we are likely to completely lose the territory of Guangdong, and this result may be much more serious than Long Jiguang's control of Guangzhou. So please think twice, the prime minister can't do anything with the tiger. ”

Sun Yat-sen slowly turned around at this time, and the moonlight shining on his face through the window made him look very peaceful.

"Did you bring this Wang Zhenyu's resume?"

Song Qingling hurriedly said, "Here, Prime Minister." ”

Sun Yat-sen took the information and looked at it carefully: "The most critical step in the promotion of heroes during the Xinhai Revolution was mentioned by Huang Keqiang, and it is impossible for a person from such a background to stand on Lao Yuan's side." ”

Then Sun Yat-sen looked at Xu Chongzhi and said, "Ruwei, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Xu Chongzhi is actually a relatively simple person, who only cares about many things, and in the eyes of many people, he belongs to the kind of revolutionary will that is depressed. It was rare for him to speak, but this time he was rarely moved: "Prime Minister, this time the matter is indeed a bit tricky, but in the final analysis, it is because we lack the army that is loyal to the party and the Prime Minister. After the Second Revolution, we lost the territory and army of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Fujian, and Guangdong, and the situation in Sichuan was also a mess. Looking at the whole country, if we launch a national defense movement against Yuan Shikai at this time, I am afraid that you can listen to the command of the Prime Minister that is the Guangdong army of the Jingcun (Chen Jiongming) brothers in northern Guangdong and the Fujian army in Fujian. At present, there are Lin Xiumei, Cheng Qian and other troops entrenched in southern Hunan in Hunan, but Cheng Qian, you know, he is as unwilling to swear allegiance to you as Huang Xing, so the reliability of this army will also be discounted. What we can do now is to obtain as much assistance as possible through various channels, including Japanese friends, and to strengthen the army loyal to the prime minister as soon as possible. ”

Then Xu Chongzhi stopped talking, just looked at Sun Yat-sen and the others. Sun Yat-sen saw that Xu Chongzhi, a good gentleman in the eyes of everyone, actually played with flavors, and could only cry and laugh and said: "That's right, that's right, then I want to ask, what good can you do for you?" ”

Xu Chongzhi touched his head and said, "Then I'll be blunt, Prime Minister." In fact, the place in Guangzhou is complicated and tight, relying on the Shili range of the British, all shili are mixed, even if we enter Guangzhou, it is also a situation where there is no money and no power, it is better to go all out to take Fuzhou first, and then gather Liliang in Fujian Province to recapture Guangzhou. However, at present, we have not much to do with Li Houji in Fuzhou, in the final analysis, our military liliang is too weak, and I think that Zhang Xueji's activities this time have been very successful, not only adding a support army for us, but also bringing in a batch of arms. 5,000 guns, 200,000 rounds of ammunition, that's good, look at how many weapons the Hanyang Arsenal makes in a year. ”

Sun Yat-sen ignored the surprised expressions of Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai, clapped his hands lightly and said, "So you agree with Luo!" ”

Xu Chongzhi shook his head and said: "Of course I agree, but since it is selling the territory of Guangdong, it is natural to sell it at a good price, five thousand guns are too cheap, at least double the number of bullets, and the bullets must be increased......"
