From the recovery to the present, more than a year has passed, although more than a year seems to be a little short, but it is enough to make Anhui earth-shaking changes.

Just like Fu Xiuming said earlier, the nine strictly trained infantry divisions, although they are still a little inferior in actual combat experience, it is easy to use these forces to sweep away the alliance's strength in the country.

Especially now...

After the Battle of Cihu River, the relationship between the Kuomintang led by Yan Shao and the League in Nanjing was very tense. Of course, there was a lot of friction between them, especially at the junction of the Nationalist Socialist Party and the League, where there were often many conflicts, and sometimes even firefights...

There are not only Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, but also Jiangxi and other provinces...

There's no way, who told these provinces to be serious, in fact, they are all alliances...

Since the relationship between the National Socialist Party and the League has reached this point of misery, several other provinces naturally have no reason to be polite to Yan Shao.

But then again, although the League controls a lot of provinces, even compared with Beiyang, and it also has a lot of influence in some other provinces that are not controlled by the League, but the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army controlled by the League is really poor, and the equipment is also bad, so this conflict is generally the upper hand of the National Socialist Party, and there are few chances of being at the bottom.

However, due to the fact that the alliance would control a large number of provinces, plus more than 100,000 civilian troops still staying in Nanjing, even if there were already nine divisions plus one regiment. In the eyes of the outside world, the Kuomintang is still the third most powerful force after Beiyang and the League—————— although in Yan Shao's view, he only needs to dispatch one or two divisions to capture Nanjing, which is garrisoned by more than 100,000 people...

It's just that something happens later. But it changed that...

Money...

Ahem, maybe it's a bit of a philistine, but it's true...

When there were more than 200,000 people's troops in Nanjing, the League was almost unable to support it, although Yan Shao later helped the League reduce the burden of 80,000 or 90,000, but the burden of the League was still very large. In addition, Yuan Shikai has also become the president, and he can be regarded as the legitimate leader of this country. It seems that it is a bit undesirable to continue to keep so many troops in Nanjing.

Therefore, after Sun Yat-sen left Nanjing, Huang Xing was responsible for the main task of the Nanjing Garrison, that is, to dismiss the more than 100,000 civilian troops stationed in Nanjing.

The more than 100,000 civilian troops were dismissed. In the eyes of the people of the League, it was simply a self-defeating martial arts, but Huang Xing knew very well that if he did not do this, the people's army in Nanjing would mutini sooner or later. Because they simply don't have the money to pay these people's salaries. Not even their food and clothing can be solved.

It may not be much at first, but if it continues to procrastinate...

It's easy to get into big problems...

Therefore, under the accusations of both the People's Army and the Alliance, Huang Xing finally dismissed the Nationalist Army in Nanjing, and only one Eighth Division remained in Nanjing. That is, the troops that really held out in Nanjing for the longest time during the Second Revolution, and it can be said that if this unit had not held out for less than a month, the so-called Second Revolution would have been a joke at all.

On the other hand, after losing more than 100,000 people's troops in Nanjing, the strength of the League was inevitably affected.

The current Anhui military government. In other words, the National Socialist Party is already the second most powerful force in the country. Moreover, after the promotion of the identity card, household registration and reserve system, the gap between the National Socialist Party, which has a huge reserve force, and Beiyang is only in the standing force and chassis.

"Military government, discipline government, constitutional government." These three steps proposed by Yan Shao at the beginning, Fu Xiuming and others naturally remember them clearly...

With the current strength of the Kuomintang, it only needs to wait for a while before it can officially carry out this step of military administration.

————————————————————

At the meeting, Li Liang, Fu Xiuming and others also reported many things, most of which were some progress in the past, and these progress was also very encouraging to everyone present.

In particular, the progress of the arsenal, with a theoretical production capacity of 1,000 rifles per day, has fully met the needs of the National Socialist Party. The Kuomintang was finally able to get out of the embarrassing situation of importing ordnance from the outside world.

All that's needed is an opportunity...

A good opportunity to launch...

"But will that opportunity come at all?" After the meeting, Yan Shao and Caterina returned to the manor by car together. After returning to the manor, Yan Shao, who fell on the bed, clasped his hands behind his head and thought carefully in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, Song Jiaoren was killed more than a month later, although there is no public opinion in history about who killed him, but his death did trigger the so-called second revolution, which may be a good opportunity..."

The second revolution, this Yan Shao is naturally impossible to forget, because this incident can be said to have been written about in history—————— but then again, this so-called 'revolution' happened is really a bit nonsensical.

Leaving aside the reasons for this revolution and so on, in fact, the great second revolution lasted less than a month. From the begging of Yuan in mid-July to the escape of Huang Xing and others from Nanjing in August, it took less than a month to complete the battle.

The reason why this revolution lasted for almost two months in history was entirely because after Huang Xing and others abandoned their troops and fled Nanjing, the officers and soldiers of the original Eighth Division revolted again on August 11, and finally held out until September 1...

As for the teasing of Chen Qimei in Shanghai, I won't mention it, the dignified Shanghai military governor has fought so many times that he hasn't even beaten down a manufacturing bureau—————— although the current Shanghai military governor is Li Xiehe.

Incidentally, the officers of the 8th Division at that time were reluctant to raise troops, because in their opinion, the odds of victory were too low, and there was basically no possibility of victory. But in order to be able to raise troops to fight Yuan. Sun Yat-sen sent Zhu Zhuowen from Shanghai with 20,000 yuan to Nanjing to buy several battalion and company commanders of the Eighth Division, and told them to declare independence after killing the division commander and brigade commander. It's a bit of a practice...

————————————————————

Lying on the bed like this, Yan Shao was thinking about whether he could take advantage of Song Jiaoren's incident as an opportunity?

"But now that history has been changed by me, Yuan Shikai or Sun Yat-sen, will they still send someone to assassinate that guy like in history?"

Thinking of this, Yan Shao had a headache.

Song Jiaoren's words, Yan Shao also met before.

Although because of the First World War of Cihu River, Yan Shao's Anhui military government and allies would be very bad. But Anhui's success is well-known both domestically and internationally. Song Jiaoren is also a well-known idealist, and he has a strong interest in Anhui's success, so at the end of the 12th year. Song Jiaoren ignored the opposition of others in the League—————— cough, it seems that it should be called the Kuomintang at this time.

Anyway, in order to go to Anhui to see the actual situation, Song Jiaoren ran to Anhui despite the opposition of others in the party.

years before. Although Song Jiaoren has also been to Anhui. But at that time, Anhui was not much different from other provinces in China, they were all like that, lifeless, without a trace of life.

However, after coming to Anhui again after many years, he found that Anhui was indeed as rumored by the outside world, with earth-shaking changes, and the changes were almost unimaginable to Song Jiaoren.

Naturally, he also had some contact with some local celebrities.

On the other hand. Although the relationship with the Kuomintang was very bad, after all, it had not yet reached the point of direct war. In addition, Song Jiaoren also has a great reputation in China, and people came to Anhui in person, so it is a little unreasonable for Yan Shao not to meet him.

What's more, Yan Shao also has a strong interest in the founder of the Kuomintang, and he really wants to see what this guy is like...

The three giants of the League (Kuomintang), Huang Xing, Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing and Yan Shao have already met, and he is a very face-saving old man, Sun Yat-sen's words, Yan Shao feels that it seems that there is no possibility, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to meet Song Jiaoren.

Having said that, at Yan Shao's time, Song Jiaoren's reputation was much smaller than that of Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen, and even in the textbooks, Yan Shao didn't seem to have much impression of Song Jiaoren—————— perhaps because Yan Shao was not very attentive when he was studying.

It was precisely because of these curiosity that after Song Jiaoren made a request to meet, Yan Shao immediately allowed it.

It's just that what Yan Shao didn't expect was that as soon as he met Song Jiaoren, this guy expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation in Anhui to Yan Shao.

According to him, Anhui's development is indeed ahead of the country, but in Anhui's local council, it has almost become an ornament. Almost everything is done by the military junta or the National Socialist Party, and the parliament has no power at all, which is completely the style of an authoritarian government, and it is not at all in line with democracy or something...

Obviously, after meeting those local celebrities, these celebrities told him about the current situation in Anhui.

Basically, that meeting has always been Song Jiaoren, and this meeting also gave Yan Shao a certain understanding of Song Jiaoren—————— just like the perception of him in later generations, he is indeed an idealist...

Yan Shao is also very helpless about this kind of person, because this kind of person will never abandon the thoughts in his heart before he is completely knocked down by the cruel reality, and in history, before this person has time to see the cruel reality, he has been sent underground by a bullet that I don't know who shot it...

And this kind of people are also very troublesome, because their ideals are basically impossible to realize, but they always like to create some trouble for people who do practical things.

But for this kind of person, Yan Shao will not be disgusted...

is also because of this, although if Song Jiaoren is really like in history, he was shot with a black gun by someone who didn't know who sent Lu Dao, Yan Shao would never remind him and would not save him, but let him send someone to make up for a shot or something...

Forget it...

————————————————————————

"What's the headache?"

After seeing Yan Shao lying on the bed, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning and sighing, after taking off her coat, Caterina sat on the edge of the bed and said with some curiosity.

Hearing Katarina's words, Yan Shao also sobered up from his hard thoughts. "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something...", Yan Shao grabbed the waist-length red hair behind Katarina, and played with it so thinly.

"I have a headache..."

Seeing that Yan Shao didn't want to talk about this matter in detail, Katerina didn't continue to ask, but just lay down with it, and then lay down in Yan Shao's arms.

Lowering his head, looking at Katarina's bewitching appearance, which was almost no different from ten years ago, Yan Shao's mood also calmed down a lot.

"It's been ten years..."Indeed, almost 10 years have passed since Yan Shao traveled to this era.

10 years, and now Yan Shao is 30 years old...

"Forget it, I don't want to..."Holding Caterina in his arms, Yan Shao shook his head. If Song Jiaoren's guy really doesn't know who killed Lu Dao, then I'll see if there is any chance to use it at that time, and if that guy is lucky enough not to die, then I'll see if there are any other opportunities..."

"Once, I want to solve the two obstacles of the Kuomintang and Beiyang at one time, and then there is a war..."

"With this unprecedented war, I'm sure I'll be able to get what I want..."

Thinking so, he kissed Caterina on the cheek, and Yan Shao's mood was much happier.

And after seeing that Yan Shao finally relaxed, Katarina's face also showed a hint of relief, 10 years have made them a real family, although Caterina often likes to hit Yan Shao, just like at the beginning, but she still likes to see Yan Shao happy.

It's just that at this time, neither Yan Shao nor Katerina knows what to do, and some things are not that if they don't find others, others won't find them.

Let alone...

It's not like they're doing nothing, either.

While Yan Shao and Caterina were sleeping in their arms, outside a house in the Shanghai Concession, some mysterious guy knocked on the wooden door there.

"This is it...", in an eerie tone, one of the ordinary-looking guys said to his partner, holding a piece of paper with the address written on it.

"That's right, this is it...", nodding, the partner standing next to him said seriously. According to the above words, someone once saw him appear here..."

While the two men were talking to each other, the door to the house suddenly opened, and a very young man walked out of it. "Who are you looking for?" Looking at the two people standing outside, the young man asked with both a little strange and a little wary.

At the same time, the two men turned their eyes to the young man. "Excuse me, does Mr. Li Guoyun live here?" said this, and the ordinary-looking man at the head looked at the young man with a smile. (To be continued......)
