Zhang Xueji looked at Wang Zhenyu dumbfounded, he is not a fool, let alone a political imbecile, most of the people who can be sent by Sun Yat-sen to set the white wolf are very powerful characters, at least it is not a problem to observe words and feelings.

Zhang Xueji's conclusion about Wang Zhenyu's sentence just now was that Wang Zhenyu was blackmailing for benefits, and he made it clear that he wanted the territory of Guangdong. Zhang Xueji can't be the master, although the territory of Guangdong is not in the hands of Sun Yat-sen, but it cannot be said to be in the hands of Long Jiguang, the overseer of Guangdong, because there is a problem of actual control.

One of the simplest examples, although Long Jiguang is known as the overseer of Guangdong, in fact, the total number of his troops is only about 15,000 people, and because there are too many opponents in Guangdong and Liliang is too big, these armies are honestly shrunk in the Pearl River Delta region with Guangzhou as the center. And Sun Yat-sen was indeed a person of prestige, in Guangdong, all kinds of miscellaneous shili recognized this golden signboard, and even in Guangzhou, the powerful merchant groups also supported Sun Yat-sen (of course, they still "rebelled" later). This made Long Jiguang, a Yunnan man, helpless, and he had nothing to do except for the money he had gained a lot in Guangzhou, and the army had not been expanded in the past few years, and he was still a group of Yunnan soldiers. It's not that Cantonese people don't want to be soldiers, it's that Long Jiguang doesn't trust them, and he doesn't want to use them.

The most tragic thing is not the underground order, in Huizhou, in Meizhou, in the Chaoshan area, the Cantonese army led by Chen Jiongming and a large number of his brothers is entrenched there, looking at Long Jiguang in Guangzhou. Like a tiger grinding its teeth, as long as Long Jiguang showed a flaw, they would pounce fiercely and bite hard.

This is the situation in Guangdong, although Zhang Xueji knows a limited amount, but he also knows that this is a place where Mr. Sun must fight, and it is impossible to give this place to Wang Zhenyu.

But the task still has to be completed, in Zhang Xueji's view, Wang Zhenyu's willingness to mention the conditions itself is a huge progress, at least one thing can be determined, Wang Zhenyu will not work for Lao Yuan, and he may even ask for Lao Yuan's life. So as long as there is an agreement on the basic point of anti-Yuan, then it is easy to say. Zhang Xueji's wishful thinking is to pull people into the gang first, as for the conditions can be discussed, exchanged, or even not fulfilled, anyway, the Chinese Revolutionary Party Zuihou can't fulfill a lot of promises, there are more debts and no worries, more lice don't bite, so I don't care about another one.

What Wang Dashuai said is extremely true, it is the wish of our generation to shed blood for the interests of the nation and the country, but the funds are still indispensable, and Mr. Sun also agrees. You may not know that Mr. Sun is now in Japan, and he is trying to raise military expenses by collecting donations from overseas Chinese and international friends, so if the marshal has any specific requests, you can mention them, and I will tell Mr. Sun here. ”

Wang Zhenyu glanced at Zhang Xueji and thought, international friends, I'm afraid it includes the Japanese Black Dragon Society. These Japanese have always bet on both ends, with only one goal, that is, not to let any faction have the strength to complete the reunification of China. The Western powers also acquiesced to this, but later in 1927, Britain had lost its dominance over Shijie, and was also infringed upon by Japan in China's interests, so it had to acquiesce to the Kuomintang to complete the unification of China with the situation of the Northern Expedition, in order to curb Japan's aggressive expansion. However, there is one thing that Wang Zhenyu is clear, that is, at that time, in order to gain the support of Japan, Sun Yat-sen even did not hesitate to promise Japanese friends that as long as Japan is willing to help him oppose Yuan, then China will only have 18 provinces according to historical tradition. Since Sun Cannon's cannons can even be sent to the Northeast, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places in exchange for support, then a mere Guangzhou is naturally not a problem, of course, this is also a premise, you must have enough strength, otherwise Sun Yat-sen is not as reliable as what he holds.

Wang Zhenyu smiled: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of every hot-blooded man to serve the country." Where can I ask for anything here? It's just that this march and war is by no means child's play, and it really needs a lot of material support, and this really needs the support and help of revolutionaries. ”

Zhang Xueji felt that Wang Zhenyu was about to fall into the trap, and was about to speak, but he heard Wang Zhenyu say: "But Brother Xueji, please forgive me, Wang has to sue here, the insider is unwell today, and Wang must go back to take care of it." As for mutual assistance and cooperation, my side has carte blanche to entrust my Secretary-General, Mr. Yang Yongtai Yang, to talk with you, just seek common ground while reserving differences, but we must be sincere, after all, what we want to cooperate with now is a very risky matter, and we can't make the slightest joke. ”

Zhang Xueji felt depressed, like phlegm in his throat but he couldn't spit it out and had to swallow it back nauseously, if he was uncomfortable, he wanted to retire? You Wang Zhenyu should be professional if you find an excuse. But if you think about it carefully, this is also the proper meaning, if you talk to Wang Zhenyu directly, then there is no room for maneuver. Therefore, Zhang Xueji could only get up and nod with the host: "My brother and sister are not in good health, so naturally I have to take care of one or two, and I wish you a speedy recovery, and I will reach an agreement with Mr. Yang Yongtai on specific cooperation matters as soon as possible, please rest assured that Dashuai is also in charge." ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded and left, and Yang Yongtai also said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, according to the meaning of the marshal, our secretariat has arranged for you to rest in the VIP room on the ninth floor of the newly completed Yuanjiang Hotel, and tonight's meeting will also be arranged to be held in the reception room of the Yuanjiang Hotel." ”

Zhang Xueji naturally expressed Xiexie very politely, and then followed the reception staff to the Yuanjiang Hotel by car.

Yuanjiang Hotel is built with full reference to the layout of Shanghai Huizhong Hotel, but covers an area of 3,000 square meters and a construction area of 27,000 square meters. The ten-storey brick and wood hybrid structure has a total height of 49 meters. The exterior is in the Renaissance style of architecture. The exterior wall is made of white bricks, inlaid with red bricks as the waistline. Doors and windows have rounded arches and flat arches. The main entrance is a turnstile door. There is a garden on the roof, and a baroque pavilion is built on the east and west sides of the garden, and in summer and autumn, you can sit in the pavilion on the east side and watch the tide of the Yuan River. The pavilion is connected to a semicircular wall at the northeast corner of the building, making the building more upright and luxurious. The hotel has 300 rooms, each with sanitary facilities, but almost half of the rooms here are rented by military and political dignitaries and wealthy businessmen and celebrities from the local government of Hunan and Guizhou for a long time. There is a staircase with wooden handrails and a delicate carving. On the ground floor is a large dining room that can accommodate more than 500 people at the same time. The hall is surrounded by teak wood parapets and a flat ceiling decorated with plaster carvings. In normal times, the hall is isolated by a screen, and the screen is removed to form a large auditorium, which can be used for large gatherings.

Yang Yongtai is not interested in watching this now, he still has some thoughts about Wang Zhenyu arranging for him to talk about this matter. First, I was moved, such an important thing was handed over to him, that is a trust; Second, this matter is very confidential, and the quality of handling directly determines his position in the heart of the handsome, so his heart is also heavy.

Yang Yongtai took out his pocket watch and looked at it, there were still five or six hours before the evening meeting, he still decided to exchange opinions with the marshal, so that he could grasp the bottom line when negotiating.

When Yang Yongtai walked into the living room of Wang Zhenyu's mansion, he found that Da Shuai and Ye Zuwen were already sitting on the sofa, as if they knew that they would come and were waiting for him.

And Wang Zhenyu watched Yang Yongtai walk in with a blank face, and said to Ye Zuwen in a hahadaxiao manner: "Father-in-law, I judged correctly, I said that Changqing will definitely come to me." You lost, and according to the agreement, your vineyard in Hongjiang is now mine. ”

Ye Zuwen suddenly touched his head and smiled: "Your way, you must have calculated that Changqing would come to make a bet with me, Wenzheng, you are also handsome, how can you be such a scoundrel?" ”

Yang Yongtai looked at the pair of Weng sons-in-law, as if he was gambling with himself, but it didn't matter, as long as the two of them were in a good mood, his errand would probably be much easier......

"Changqing, no matter how we talk about the issue of Guangdong, there is a basic point that we must grasp, and we must take Guangzhou, otherwise Guangxi's development will be very dangerous in the future. If we can't control the mouth of the Youjiang River, and only rely on the railway to go to Fangcheng Port, that place will not be comparable to the wharf in Guangzhou. And Guangzhou's taxes are also a huge subsidy for our finances, so we must take Guangzhou," Ye Zuwen put forward his views from the perspective of a businessman.

Wang Zhenyu didn't say anything, he looked at the map and said: "Heyuan, Meizhou, Chaoshan are all given to them, Fujian is also given to them, as long as we are stuck in Huizhou, Guangzhou will have no problem." Of course, we will not take it in vain, we can give the Fujian People's Army 10,000 guns, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, and recognize Sun Yat-sen as the leader of this national defense movement. There is no need to talk about more, all they can give is to help us defeat Long Jiguang and take Guangzhou through the party under their name. I have a way to deal with these parties, and without their cooperation, I can take Guangzhou, but it may take some more time and twists and turns. As for whether Huizhou has to talk about the results, it will not be too late for us to talk about it then. ”

Yang Yongtai nodded, after listening to the words of Da Shuai and Old Man Ye, he had a rough idea of this negotiation, but he still expressed a worry: "Da Shuai, what if Sun Wen and they don't follow the agreement with us?" ”

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "What does it matter, I don't plan to settle the agreement, we in China are talking about strength, and these agreements are only needed by the weak......"

Yang Yongtai also smiled when he heard it......
