Chapter 123: Wuhan Oath
The war is not as simple as imagined, we have to consider the route of marching, the route of retreat, and of course, the most important thing is the supply of materials, after all, this operation is not the same as in the past, Wang Jingwei will not give himself a little support in the back, and the place he is going to is mostly the principal's territory, and it is really not easy to get supplies.
The world may have forgotten a person's name a long time ago, his name is Chen Qiang, an outstanding student of the second phase of Huangpu, after Liu Yuan, the second president of Huangpu, but because this guy is not best at commanding operations, even the principal has forgotten this outstanding student in the past.
But Liu Yuan did not forget that this guy was in Liu Yuan's team, and he became a quartermaster when he left, he was honest and sincere, and he had no selfish intentions, and what was commendable was that he had unique insights and talents in material transportation and logistics.
But even so, when Liu Yuan was preparing to go east to Nanjing, he also frightened Chen Qiang, it was completely hostile, where did his own supplies come from?
Counting the 50,000 student army, even if these 50,000 people eat cabbage every day, it is an astronomical amount, and the government used to manage logistics, so he didn't feel such a big pressure, but when he was in charge, Chen Qiang's hair almost didn't turn white.
Fortunately, although the Liu consortium withdrew the superficial assets in the Chiang Kai-shek area, a large amount of funds still existed, and some even secretly stored a lot of materials.
Liu Yuan and Chen Qiang discussed several times, and after the end, Liu Yuan decided to set up a supply point near the important city he believed, and a telegram was sent out, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were busy. And Chen Qiang had to take the train to the east with his voucher a day earlier.
I waited for more than ten days, and it was the middle of June before Chen Qiang sent a telegram, and everything was ready only for the east wind.
Wang Jingwei also felt very sad that the Tenth Army was not left in Wuhan, originally thought that Yu Jishi could solve Liu Yuan at once, but he thought of letting Liu Yuan come to fight back, not only did he run back to Nanjing alone, but even he had to face the 50,000 army, for what is 50,000, the ghost knows that Liu Yuan came from such a big appeal, I heard that he was going to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, almost every day there were soldiers from other armies, trekking in, Liu Yuan had to temporarily expand several establishments for this purpose, on the surface it was 50,000 people, Wang Jingwei estimated that there were 80,000 people.
For this reason, Wang Jingwei did not sleep well for several nights, first, he was afraid of Liu Yuan's revenge and pulled himself down from the throne in Wuhan, and second, he was afraid that Liu Yuan would reconcile with Chiang Kai-shek and suddenly give himself a fatal blow, then Chiang Kai-shek's April 12 coup d'état would be considered a complete success.
In desperation, Wang Jingwei, coupled with the persuasion of his wife, although he did not personally go to Liu Yuan to admit his mistake, he also wrote a statement, admitting that the punishment of Liu Yuan issued that day was wrong, and that the Wuhan Revolutionary Government was willing to withdraw the punishment for Liu Yuan, and was willing to provide Liu Yuan with materials to help him in his crusade.
Wang Jingwei's trip is undoubtedly a big mouth to slap himself in the face, but since Wang Jingwei entered politics, he has done a lot of things to slap himself in the face, and he has become accustomed to it. However, Liu Yuan would not ask Wang Jingwei for help no matter what.
After receiving Chen Qiang's telegram, Liu Yuan immediately summoned everyone and told everyone that he was going to hold a pledge meeting. If it were in the past, everyone would definitely advise Liu Yuan to think twice, after all, in such a long-distance battle, he didn't even have his own rear, once he fell into the encirclement of the enemy, it would be a complete hard battle, and his own people fought his own people, which really made many people uncomfortable.
But Liu Yuan has said several times that this trip is not to fight against his own people, one is to save the principal, drive away those villains of the right, and see if the principal can be saved, and the other is to save the leftist elite and water and fire, they are the essence of the Great Revolution and cannot be so killed.
On June 16, a very smooth day, in Wuhan, God gave a rare sunny day, Liu Yuan stood on the high platform temporarily built by the soldiers, looking at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the stage, as well as the people who temporarily participated in his own troops, Liu Yuan was full of pride for a while, and it seemed that he was going to make a name for himself in China this time.
"Jiang Zhongzheng, the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, is a loyal revolutionary aspirant, with a passionate soul. Less, go east to Japan and explore the road to a strong country. Successful in learning, returning to the country thousands of miles, following the will of the prime minister, fighting in the north and south, destroying the merchant group, and rebelling in Guangdong, it is a heroic man for a while.
Huangpu has success, led the army to the Northern Expedition, inherited the will of the prime minister, waved the army to the Northern War, had a million divisions, swallowed the United States, collapsed the enemy in a snap of his fingers, and the reunification of the Republic of China was just around the corner.
However, today's headmaster, surrounded by philistines, who do despicable policies, slaughter revolutionaries, make a trip to the country, and make a place of recovery, full of wailing, loyal and righteous people, burying bones in the wilderness, and people's hearts are cold.
Today's disciple Liu Yuan, who can't bear to be confused by flattery, stigmatized history, according to the three-foot life, with an army of a hundred battles, without the edict of brocade clothes, doing loyal and righteous deeds, saving the country and saving the people, slaughtering traitors in front of the city, and saving the country from fire and water. I hope that the principal will be considerate of the students' visit.
The blood of the leftist revolutionaries had not yet been exhausted, and Liu Yuan finally gave his own life, which made Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing very angry, and declared that he would teach himself a good lesson to this unfilial student who did not know the height of the earth.
The army finally set off, the Tenth Army and the Student Army plus many temporary troops, there were more than 100,000 people, which Chiang Kai-shek did not expect, and Wang Jingwei did not expect that this young soldier would have such great influence.
In fact, they forgot a point, Liu Yuan once helped the Nationalist Government establish a militia organization in Guangzhou, with the development of the army, many veterans in the army are veterans who were trained by Liu Yuan back then, and almost every officer of the army has been trained by Liu Yuan in rotation, all when Liu Yuan raised his arms and shouted, there was a whole set of troops to come, although many of the team weapons are very backward, but they are all veterans of the battlefield, as long as they go through unified training, they can go to the battlefield, Liu Yuan knows this better than anyone else.
At this time, Liu Yuan also had to expand the troops, the Tenth Army was expanded into the Tenth Group Army, under the jurisdiction of two armies plus an independent division, an artillery regiment, and a cavalry regiment, although Liu Yuan did not like the cavalry organization very much, but Liu Yuan also had to admit that in China's backward land, the cavalry still has his unique advantages.
With so many troops, Liu Yuan can't issue the latest weapons to everyone, so he can only temporarily let many soldiers use the weapons in their hands, but Liu Yuan will change everyone's clothes in the near future, so the Tenth Army has more than 100,000 people on the military column and set off in a mighty way, as for how far the road ahead, Liu Yuan himself is not very clear.
