Chapter 118: Rushing to Fujian

"Tuanza! What to do with this matter! Xu Wenqiang, who had just arrived, looked at Jin Zhao and asked.

"Report truthfully to the military department!" Jin Zhao said casually, "As for the corpses of these little devils, cut off their heads and throw them into the field to feed the dogs!" As soon as he thought that he would send someone to assassinate him, Jin Zhao was angry and didn't fight anywhere. Thinking that there would definitely be little devils who would come to collect the corpses later, Jin Zhao deliberately ordered someone to cut off their heads, just to disgust those little devils.

Jin Zhao knew in his heart that the little devil knew that the Hongkou explosion was related to him, and the reason why he didn't poke it out was that there might be no definite evidence, and secondly, the little devil had already achieved his goal, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches. That's why he secretly sent someone to assassinate him.

Jin Zhao sighed helplessly, and said secretly in his heart, "Little devil! Lao Tzu has temporarily written down the hatred of this shot, and one day Lao Tzu will let you repay it a thousand times and a hundred times. Jin Zhao naturally knew about his assassination, and after reporting it to the military department, the military department would definitely report to Nanjing Political Axe, but Lao Jiang finally sent the little devils away, and naturally he didn't want to cause trouble, so this matter naturally came to an end. Although Jin Zhao is a master who refuses to suffer, but now that the troops are being drawn, Jin Zhao naturally has no time to take revenge on the little devils, so this feud can only be written down temporarily, anyway, there will be time to clean them up in the future.

Then Jin Zhao ordered the troops to continue to march towards Zhenjiang as if nothing happened, but Jin Zhao's original car was almost beaten into a hornet's nest, and Jin Zhao had to change the car from the new. There is not only the military headquarters of the 19th Route Army and the Beijing-Shanghai garrison commander's office, but there is more than one car. After Lao Chiang came to power, as soon as the Songhu Armistice Agreement was signed, Chen Mingshu was sent abroad by Lao Chiang to investigate. As soon as Chen Mingshu, the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, left, the Governor's Office was abolished, and all the personnel of the Governor's Office were transferred to the Fujian Appeasement Office and went to Fujian with the 19th Route Army. Jin Zhao's reading group was the last batch of the headquarters to open, and now there are still a few cars in Jin Zhao's hands that can be deployed.

Jin Zhao, who had just gotten into the car, was no longer in the mood to laugh with Liu Feifei at this time, and he always had a gloomy face and nothing to say all the way.

It is worth mentioning that after Lao Jiang received the news of Jin Zhao's assassination, as Jin Zhao expected, Lao Jiang, who didn't want to make trouble, suppressed the matter, and just sent a telegram to Jin Zhao, and Hao Sheng comforted him. However, Lao Jiang told Dai Li to send a few capable men to Jin Zhao's side to protect Jin Zhao's safety, which was actually surveillance. After Jin Zhao got the news, he originally had prejudices against Lao Chiang, but naturally he was even more disgusted with Lao Chiang, and began to speed up the implementation of his great cause of opposing Chiang.

At the beginning of July, Jin Zhao led the reading group to Fujian and temporarily stationed in Fuzhou.

However, Jin Zhao's reading group did not stay in Fuzhou for long, and received a new task and was transferred to Zhangzhou to reorganize Zhang Zhen's 49th Division.

At this time, Fujian was nominally a unified province, but in fact it was in a situation of fragmentation. At this time, Fang Shengtao, chairman of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe, was a typical bureaucratic politician, who only knew about corruption and enjoyment, and was also a big smoker, who did not care about local government affairs.

However, the local warlords and mercenaries were self-respecting and went their own way, and Fang Shengtao's decree could actually only reach a dozen counties near Fuzhou, such as Lianjiang, Minhou, and Yongtai.

In terms of the army, there is only one central army stationed in Fujian Province, that is, the 49th Division of Zhang Zhen, the "King of Southern Fujian", who seized southern Fujian, but this Zhang Zhen is really not a descendant of Lao Jiang, who has been stationed in Fujian for several years and has already developed into a local warlord. In addition to Zhang Zhen's department, there are many miscellaneous troops in Fujian. Among them, the following units are slightly stronger.

The 56th Division of Liu Heding's Division, centered on Jian'ou, seized the northern Fujian region; Zhou Zhixiong's Reading Brigade, centered on Shao Wu, seized the northwest region of Fujian; Chen Guohui's Reading Brigade, centered on Xianyou, seized the southeast Fujian region; The newly formed second division of the Lu Xingbang Division, centered on Youxi, is called the central Fujian region; Chen Qi's brigade centered on Fu'an occupied the eastern Fujian region.

Among them, the bandit armed Lu Xingbang Department of Lulin is the most powerful, controlling almost 25 counties, setting up cards to collect taxes, setting up their own arsenals, and manufacturing weapons, just like the emperor of the soil. Chen Guohui's military discipline was the worst, and in the area under his jurisdiction, he forcibly levied exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, forced peasants to grow opium, harassed businessmen from time to time, and even often used the means of kidnapping people and extorting money, kidnapping overseas Chinese and their relatives, and squeezing money.

After Cai Tingkai arrived in Fujian, in order to completely control the military and political power in Fujian, he inevitably had to attack these warlords. And Cai Tingkai's first target was Zhang Zhen, the king of southern Fujian.

Zhang Zhen's 49th Division was originally the only central army that Lao Chiang had planted in Fujian in order to contain the naval faction, but at this time Zhang Zhen had developed into a local warlord army. Before the 19th Route Army arrived in Fujian, the Red Army had attacked Zhangzhou, and Zhang Zhen's troops had lost almost half of it. Therefore, on the grounds that Zhang Zhen's troops had failed in the battle, the military discipline was poor, and the people were dissatisfied, Cai Tingkai ordered the reorganization and downsizing, and reduced the original two brigades and six regiments to two brigades and four regiments. At the same time, Cai Tingkai sent Jin Zhao's reading group to Zhangzhou to supervise the reorganization of Zhang Zhen's department.

Before Jin Zhao led the Reading Force Regiment, Cai Tingkai, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army and commander of the 19th Army, personally summoned Jin Zhao to the military headquarters to arrange tasks.

Jin Zhao asked, "Junzao!" What if Zhang Zhen refuses to reorganize! ”

"Humph!" Cai Tingkai snorted coldly, "Then completely eliminate them for the crime of disobeying military orders, and keeping this kind of army with corrupt military discipline is also the scourge of the party-state!" Don't worry, as soon as the fire is fired, I will immediately send the 61st Division to support your department. ”

Jin Zhao immediately stood upright, saluted Cai Tingkai with a military salute, and said loudly, "Please rest assured, my reading force group will guarantee to complete the task." ”

Cai Tingkai nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down and prepare to go right away!" ”

Jin Zhao immediately turned around and left the military headquarters, although Zhang Zhen had a division of troops, but after a big battle with the Red Army, he lost more than half, and now there are only three or four thousand people, even if he relies on pulling strong Ding and forcibly pulling up a team of several thousand people, but the combat effectiveness can not be restored in a while and a half. At this time, the Jin Zhao Reading Regiment, after this period of rest and replenishment, has reached more than 2,000 troops, and it is well-equipped, and there are system officers recruited by Jin Zhao through the system as the backbone, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not comparable to a third-rate army like Zhang Zhen, so Jin Zhao really didn't take this king of southern Fujian in his eyes.
