Chapter 219: Expedition Abroad

"Good! Since everyone is not opposed, then let the commander-in-chief decide! Weng Zhaoyuan said, and his eyes finally fell on Jin Zhao's body.

Looking at Weng Zhaoyuan's encouraging eyes, Jin Zhao made up his mind, and then stood up and said, "That's good! Then the matter is settled! However, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and these people are still temporarily detained. Our top priority at present is to invite the Central Army out of Fujian as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Jin Zhao continued, "Immediately issue a telegram and accept the orders of the central authorities, but now that the situation in Fujian is unstable, it is not appropriate for the troops to be reorganized immediately, and the reorganization will be carried out after the situation in Fujian is stable." In addition, the Chinese people were invited to go to Fuzhou in person, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang was asked to lead the Central Army to evacuate Fujian as soon as possible in accordance with the agreement. ”

"Good!" Xie Jinyuan nodded and said, "I'll rush to Fuzhou to meet Commander Zhang immediately." ”

Jin Zhao continued, "Everyone, please rush back to the army as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

After everyone left, Weng Zhaoyuan looked at Jin Zhao and said earnestly, "Meng Bo! Fujian will be handed over to you later, don't forget your oath to resist and save the country! Weng Zhaoyuan is really worried that Jin Zhao, who is a young man, will be complacent, proud and indulgent, so that he will become a thousand years of hatred and mislead the country and the people!

Jin Zhao snapped and stood upright, gave a solemn military salute to Weng Zhaoyuan, and said loudly, "Please rest assured, old chief!" As a soldier, Meng Bo should take it as his responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, and he will never lose his true character as a soldier! As a Chinese person, I will never dare to forget the 100-year history of humiliation imposed on our country by imperialism over the past 100 years, and it will not be long before I will let the people of the world see the supreme and resolute spirit of our Chinese nation! ”

The reason why Jin Zhao said this was because Jin Zhao understood Weng Zhaoyuan's worries. Back then, "Nine? 18. "The incident broke out. Weng Zhaoyuan's attention was directed to the white mountains and black waters. Then came the news that Zhang Xueliang did not resist, and Weng Zhaoyuan was very angry. said: "There is a gun in hand, why not resist?" Even if the resistance fails, it will not lose the true character of a soldier! Zhang Xueliang is not a soldier with strong and outstanding cultivation; Even if the Chinese nation has the greatest and most rigid spirit, how can it be found from a young master who is covered with morphine needle holes. Jin Zhao is telling Weng Zhaoyuan that he is a real soldier, and he is by no means a rich young master like Zhang Xueliang.

Weng Zhaoyuan nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted Jin Zhao's shoulder and said, "En! I believe you! With that, he turned around and left.

Jin Zhao looked at the back of Weng Zhaoyuan leaving, and suddenly felt that the pressure on his body increased in vain, making Jin Zhao feel out of breath. Jin Zhao, who understands the trend of history, naturally does not want to see history running according to the original trajectory, Jin Zhao understands that this pressure is the burden of national rejuvenation, and this burden cannot help but press on the shoulders of Jin Zhao alone, but on the shoulders of the whole Chinese people.

On March 10, Jiang Dingwen led the Central Army to leave Xiamen, but Jin Zhao did not take over Xiamen, and according to the original agreement, the Central Political Axe had set Xiamen as a special administrative city, separated from Fujian Province, and was directly under the leadership of the Central Political Axe. After Jiang Dingwen evacuated Xiamen, Xiamen's defense was taken over by the newly organized First Brigade of the Marine Corps, and Lin Guogeng, former commander of the Xiamen Navy's key port, was appointed commander of the Xiamen garrison and concurrently commander of the First Brigade.

Jin Zhao knew that the reason why the central authorities insisted on not handing over Xiamen to Fujian was because of himself. For the 19th Route Army, it was said that the political axe was extremely hostile, and after the Fujian Revolution, the Fujian people's political axe became the banner of resistance, which made the political axe extremely uneasy. Later, the 19th Route Army negotiated an armistice with the central government, and the side came forward to oppose it and supported Lao Jiang to quell the rebellion by force, but Lao Jiang did not fall for the little devil. Seeing that the peace talks between the two sides could not be sabotaged, the little devil proposed that Xiamen be set up as a special administrative city under the direct leadership of the central political axe, because he said that he had a concession in Xiamen and a public concession on Gulangyu Island. The little devils are afraid that Xiamen will fall into the hands of the new Fujian political axe, which will affect Yueben's interests in Fujian. Because the little devil knew that both Weng Zhaoyuan and Jin Zhao were extreme anti-Japanese elements, especially Jin Zhao, who had openly supported non-governmental anti-Japanese organizations and boycotted the goods in the five counties of Xianyou under his control for a year, and was squeezed out of the market of the five counties of Xianyou in less than a year, and most of the local Yueqiao were also expelled from the anti-Japanese groups.

And Britain, France and other countries, under the prodding of the little devils, stepped forward to prevent Xiamen from being handed over to the new Fujian political axe. Lao Jiang naturally did not want the territory in Jin Zhao's hands to be too large, and in the future he would form a trend of not falling behind, and even Fuzhou was unwilling to hand it over to Jin Zhao, but Jin Zhao's attitude was tough, and in the end, both sides took a step back, and Xiamen was set as a special city, and all Fujian after Xiamen was handed over to the newly established Fujian political axe.

On March 15, Zhang Zhizhong and Wei Lihuang led the Central Army to evacuate Fuzhou. Jin Zhao led his troops to take over the defense of Fuzhou and began to set up the political axe of Fujian Province, so that the central army was completely withdrawn from Fujian Province.

After the withdrawal of the Central Army, Jin Zhao began to rectify the military administration in Fujian. On the evening of March 17, Jin Zhao held a banquet in Fuzhou to entertain the middle and senior generals of the army. At the banquet, Jin Zhao frequently toasted to Shen Guanghan and others, and when he was almost drunk, Jin Zhao pretended to be drunk and said to Shen Guanghan, Ou Shounian and others, "In order to resist the great cause of saving the country, I decided to set up a mechanized army in Fujian that imitated Europe and the United States, but I didn't know much about it, I only knew that Germany was once known as the first army in the world, so I decided to send Commander Shen, Division Commander District, Division Commander Zhang, and Division Commander Tan to lead a team to Germany to inspect the military and prepare for the establishment of a new army!" I don't know what the four of them think? ”

As soon as Jin Zhao's voice fell, Shen Guanghan and the others' faces became extremely ugly, Zhang Yanteng stood up suddenly, pointed at Jin Zhao and said angrily, "Jin Zhao, what do you mean by this, we are the army commander and division commander appointed by the central political axe, what right do you have to let us go abroad for inspection!" "Originally, these people have been under house arrest for so long, and they are holding their breath in their hearts, but now they have ended up with such a result, which is unacceptable to anyone.

Jin Zhao smiled indifferently, "Master Zhang, don't be excited, of course I don't have this right!" Wouldn't it be time to ask for your opinions? ”

Tan Qixiu pressed Zhang Yan to his seat, and said with a smile, "Commander-in-chief, forgive me, Master Zhang drank too much and lost his words after drinking." ”

Jin Zhao smiled and said, "I know that you must have opinions, but I think you also know that although we have reached an agreement with the central government now, we have completely offended my principal to death, and with my understanding of them, he will definitely not let us go so easily!" It's just that now the principal is bent on suppressing bandits, and he can't take care of us. But once the headmaster frees up his hands, then we will be in big trouble, so I am so anxious to prepare to form a new army and strengthen my own strength. You are all my predecessors, proficient in military affairs, and have a high prestige in the army, you are the best candidates to go to Europe for inspection, and when you come back in the future, you will be responsible for the reorganization of the new army, and I dare not disagree! Of course, I'm just asking for your opinions, and if you don't agree, I'll have to think of another way! (To be continued.) )
