Just as the situation in Hunan was getting worse day by day, Long Jiguang, the overseer of Guangdong, was not having a good time.

Long Jiguang, the word Zicheng (Zichen), Yunnan Mengziren, Yi nationality, Tusi origin. His father Long Rulin was 32 years old when he died, and his concubine Ma was the eldest son of the Ma family, and the second son Yuguang and the third son Jiguang were born to the Li family. According to feudal regulations, the second son Yuguang inherited the position of Tusi of Draft. After the death of Nagen Tusi, there was a dispute within the Tusi and killed each other, so the clansmen supported the position of Nagen Tusi as the charge d'affaires of Nagen Tusi. The three brothers of the Long family, with different personalities, are fond of astronomy, geography and poetry; Yuguang loves to raise birds and grow flowers; Only Jiguang likes to play with knives and guns, and he is strong in martial arts. Seeing that the two elder brothers already had jobs and he had no positions, Ji Guang had the idea of usurping the power of Nagen Tusi, and attempted to kill the eldest brother twice. Unwilling to kill each other, he left home and went to Kunming to take the examination, and then conveyed it to Beijing to find another backer. Jiguang obtained the position of Nagen Tusi. At that time, it was the Guangxu period when various places held a large group exercise, and Long Jiguang also held a group exercise in his hometown, because he led his troops to participate in the suppression of the anti-Qing struggle of the people in southern Yunnan, and assisted the Qing soldiers to suppress the "Yi Rebellion" in Yunnan. He was appointed as the head of the regiment of Quang Nam County, and at the same time was able to recruit troops in Wenshan, Mengzi, Jianshui, Jinping, Pingbian and Gejiu, and Shili expanded rapidly.

In 1903, the political situation in Guangxi was **, and the Youyong rebellion was surging. Long Jiguang led 5,000 soldiers to serve Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, and was appointed as the governor of Youjiang Province in Guangxi because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Hui Party. In December 1907, Sun Yat-sen led the Zhennanguan Uprising, and Long Jiguang led his troops to suppress it with Lu Rongting's troops, and dyed the top ribbon feathers on his head with the blood of revolutionaries, and was promoted to the governor of Guangxi for his merits. The following year, he sent troops to help suppress the Hekou Uprising, and soon the Dragon was expanded to 30 patrol battalions with more than 16,000 soldiers, known as the "Ji Army". In 1911, he was transferred to the post of Governor of the Guangdong Land Route and Deputy Commander of the Guards. From then on, Long Jiguang began to develop Shili in Guangdong, and his team continued to grow, becoming a dominant and prominent warlord during the warlord division and melee.

After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Long Jiguang was forced to declare the independence of Guangdong, but it didn't matter, in the next second revolution, the great warlord drove into Guangzhou with his 15,000 men and horses, and directly drove out the revolutionaries Hu Hanmin and Chen Jiongming. Yuan Shikai was naturally entrusted with the important task of actually entrusting the Guangdong overseer, but the jurisdiction of this overseer was only half of the territory of today's Guangdong, and as far east as Huizhou was, and then Chen Jiongming's territory of the Cantonese army. However, Long Jiguang didn't care about this, because at the moment the most oily and watery territory in Guangdong is the provincial capital of Guangzhou, as for those poor places, the revolutionaries can take them if they want, and they don't have to pay for it themselves anyway.

Guangdong can be said to be the base camp and money bag of Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Revolutionary Party, and Long Jiguang, a benevolent brother, squatted here so ignorantly, isn't this a way to break his life? In 1913, Yuan Shikai removed Chen Jiongming's Guangdong governor and the rank of lieutenant general and general, and made Long Jiguang the Guangdong Xuanfu envoy and led the army to crusade against Chen Jiongming. Long led his army to Guangdong, dissolved the parliament of Guangdong, and was able to rule in Guangdong for about three years. During this period, he slaughtered revolutionaries, opened gambling games, and harassed the people, which was very appreciated by Yuan Shikai, and he appointed General Zhenwu to supervise the military affairs of Guangdong, and married his niece to Long's ninth son, Long Xiangqian. It can be said that as a native of Yunnan, Long Jiguang has become a key button for the spontaneous unity of Guangdong people.

No matter what festivals any Cantonese people had in the past, they are absolutely unanimous on the issue of expelling Long Jiguang, and there is no way that Long Jiguang is too harmful. This is probably also a characteristic of human beings, as long as they are not in their own homes, they will not pay attention to principles in life, and they will take destruction as their own responsibility when they attain the Tao, no wonder the officials of the local governments of the United States imperialism in later generations are not appointed by superiors but elected by the localities, which makes some sense.

After Yuan was proclaimed emperor, Long Jiguang immediately supported him and was awarded the title of first-class prince and county king. His eldest brother Jinguang was awarded the rank of General Linwu, and his second brother Yuguang was appointed as the envoy of Guanghui Town.

If such a person is put in the history textbooks of later generations, he will not study well since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will be reactionary every day, and he will be the enemy of the people.

Now Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are under the order of Marshal Wang Zhenyu, chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the National Socialist Party, the supreme command of the Youth Army, to eliminate Long Jiguang.

However, the order was issued at the end of December, but Li Zongren's Third Army was slow to press Wuzhou and not move, and Bai Chongxi, who had been highly nervous before, had an opinion about his sworn brother.

But Li Zongren has his own hardships, which are Wang Zhenyu's senior senator by his side, Chen Shao, head of the Organization Department of the National Socialist Party.

It is said that when Chen Shao took refuge in Wang Zhenyu, he had an ideal, that is, to command the three armies and raise the horse. However, because Wang Zhenyu did not urgently need military cadres at that time, he lacked political cadres. So Chen Shao became a civil official without paying attention, and first became the director of the construction committee in Kenshankou Town, Zhili County, Jingzhou, and was actually the mayor of the town. Subsequently, he was transferred to Anjiang Model City to serve as the first mayor and commander-in-chief of the construction headquarters. Later, he was involved with the army, but he went to the military academy to study, and took the opportunity to study at the Xiangxi Army Military Academy at that time to organize the National Rejuvenation Society. If you want to say that a person with the ability has the ability wherever he goes, Chen Shao, a person from Wang Xuemen, has done the above task properly.

In the end, when the National Socialist Party was formed, Chen Shao also became the head of the Organization Department and was still a civil official.

Originally, the military operation had nothing to do with this organization department, but this time the situation was somewhat special. Guangdong is not only a military issue, but also a very complicated political issue, and in Wang Zhenyu's view, he cannot solve it by relying on the two generals Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. Therefore, it has to be equipped with a senior senator, and the best candidate for Jihua is Yang Yongtai, but Tao Zhiyue's march into Hengyang is related to the overall situation, and Yang Yongtai's good steel has been used on the blade. Chen Shao's color is naturally used in Guangdong.

Chen Shaoke did not think about any question of quality, he was one of the Standing Committee members of the Central Committee of the Socialist Party, and his status in the party was much higher than that of Li Zongren, so he did not say anything polite after taking office. The first requirement was to have a well-fitting military uniform, and as for the military rank, he also took a little thought and personally wrote to Yang Wangui, chief of the General Staff. Yang Wangui, who couldn't cry or laugh, was naturally awarded the rank of major general in accordance with the standards of military-level cadres, and it seems that all the people in the youth army are only major generals except for Wang Zhenyu.

It doesn't matter, as long as Chen Shao is satisfied, he appears at the military headquarters of the Third Army every day in full dress, although he basically does not interfere in military affairs, it makes Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi feel very weird.

On January 3, when Li Zongren was about to send troops, Chen Shao suddenly spoke: "Commander Li, I suggest that you better stay put, there may be big changes in Guangdong recently." ”

Li Zongren knows what politeness is, don't look at Chen Shao is just a senator, this will be here He represents Wang Zhenyu Marshal.

Therefore, although Bai Chongxi was indignant about this, Li Zongren still decided to stand still.

Chen Shao is not without purpose, and the latest intelligence sent by the Guangzhou station of the Military Intelligence Bureau shows that Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who ostensibly promised to control Guangzhou by Wang Zhenyu, is ready to break his promise and gain weight.

Since November last year, the Chinese Revolutionary Party has been working in tandem with the Hui Party, militia groups, and merchant groups in various parts of Guangzhou to prepare to expel Long Jiguang by force after the outbreak of the Protectorate War.

The courage is commendable, but it cannot but be said that the revolutionaries at this time were really almost in a hurry. Before they could finish the liaison work, even the ants of Long Jiguang's family knew that they were going to have an accident, and Long Jiguang was angry and funny.

Around January 10, Chen Jiongming and Zhu Zhixin launched uprisings in Guangzhou and Huizhou respectively.

However, it was not all without gains, at least in areas outside Guangzhou, the armed forces of the revolutionary party set up a blockade to block the road, so that Long Jiguang, the overseer of Guangdong, was completely in name only, and the decree did not want to go beyond the actual control of the Jijun army by half a meter.

On 12 January, he first invited representatives from all walks of life at the Haizhu Island Maritime Police Station in Guangzhou to hold a meeting on the aftermath of Guangdong, in order to paralyze the revolutionaries in exchange for a temporary ceasefire between the two sides. After the military deployment was completed, Yan Qihan, the commander of Long's guard army, suddenly opened fire during the meeting, killing Tang Juedun and Tan Xuekui, representatives of the National Protector Army, on the spot, which was the "Haizhu Massacre". Long Jiguang later misrepresented the cause of the incident as a "verbal conflict between the two sides and shooting each other."

But Chen Shao didn't care about this tragedy, he was concerned about Long Jiguang's military operations, and sure enough, Long Jiguang's army soon armed the local areas in Guangdong with a thunderous momentum. The Chinese Revolutionary Party's side made a mistake in making decisions, which eventually led to the loss of the so-called 100,000 people's army, which they had always been proud of. And this result is what Chen Shao wants, he is not interested in giving Sun Yat-sen the opportunity to coexist with Wang Dashuai, the territory of Guangdong can only belong to Wang Dashuai, and the youth army will never do the thing of taking the chestnut in the fire and making wedding dresses for others.

Waiting for Long Jiguang to clear the field, Chen Shao ran over and said to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi: "Hurry up and do it, otherwise the wildfire will not burn out, and it will be our turn to have a headache when the spring breeze blows and is born again." ”

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's Third Army, Chen Shao personally led another huge contingent, four mixed detachments drawn from the Guangxi Local Security Corps, and more than 40 task forces organized by the Guangxi Provincial Party Department, totaling more than 8,000 people. Their task was to follow behind the army and take over the local civil affairs and defense of a county every time they took a county, which was also an invention that Wang Zhenyu stole from later generations. As for Weishenme's election from Guangxi, it still considered the issue of regionality, in order to alleviate the resistance of the local people. But now it seems that this worry is a bit unnecessary, look at the local people's enthusiasm for the youth army, you can know how much good Long Jiguang has done......
