Chapter 55 Jinling City is broken, and Wang Feng should also go
It was a warm and strange ceremony to enter the city, which ended by almost noon.
Wang Feng has already hung up the sign of the governor of the iron-blooded military government in the yamen of the former governor of Liangjiang, and the notice of Anmin with his name has been posted all over the city.
And Xu Minghao, with the support of the Southern Army and the Zhen Army, hung up the signboard of the governor of the provisional government in the small camp, and there was a situation of one city and two governors in Jinling City for a while.
In this regard, Wang Feng was not annoyed, and explained to others that he was in charge of military affairs, while Xu Minghao was in charge of civil affairs.
But when it comes to the use of money, he pushes it to Xu Minghao, and he also says that the military and the government are separated, you must know that he only left Xu Minghao and them only 200,000 taels of scraps, and he also colluded with Zhang Renjun to modify all the books, so that people have nowhere to check.
He was just busy expanding the army, strengthening training, and incorporating guerrilla forces in various parts of Gangbuk Province. From time to time, he also repaid with the celebrities and gentry in Jiangbei.
When the representatives of the ten states gathered in Shenhai, only the king and the governor were here, and they were still peaceful. When asked, he only said that he was a soldier and only cared about fighting wars and ignoring politics.
In addition, the ordnance of the Jiangfang Army, the military reserves of Jinling City, and the 6th Army Academy in Jinling City were all in his hands, and he had no intention of sharing the profits.
Within ten days, his iron-blooded army had been officially expanded into the first division of the 6th Army, with two brigades and four infantry regiments, as well as a teaching regiment, an artillery regiment, a baggage regiment, and an engineer regiment and cavalry regiment.
Almost all the weapons in the entire Jinling City were concentrated in his division, and the number of troops swelled to more than 19,000 at once.
The town army and the southern army, which are full of thoughts, still have how many guns have entered the city, and how many guns are still there now!
Xu Minghao's governor is a little lacking in confidence.
Jinling's recovery also prompted the imperial court to take its last breath.
Newspapers run by the English in the north all published editorials arguing that the recovery of Jinling City marked the real formation of a confrontation between the north and the south, and the existence of the imperial court had become a joke completely.
The following is the peace talks between the powerful factions in the north and the Kuomintang in the south.
The accompanying photos of these editorials are often of Mr. Sun waving on the boat and Wang Feng riding on a horse and saluting.
At this time, under the auspices of Hu Hansan, representatives of the eighteen states and provinces that had recovered or became independent came to Jinling City in June and began the preparatory meeting of the provisional government.
At the same time, Mr. Sun, Song Jiaoren, Huang Kegong and others in Shenhai were also engaged in fierce debates over the organizational form of the provisional government.
Song Jiaoren strongly recommended the adoption of a responsible cabinet system, and the gentleman categorically decided to adopt the system under his strong demand. The organizational form has also been finalized!
At the preparatory meeting of the provincial representatives in Jinling City, three principles were also discussed and decided: 1. Organize a provisional government and elect a provisional general system, which should be decided by one vote for each province; 2. Adopt the Gregorian era; 3. Hold peace talks with Yuan Shiren in the north.
With the recovery of Jinling City, the situation in the south finally began to take shape.
What is most lacking when your army grows to 20,000 men? There is no doubt that it is a cadre!
At that time, Jinling City could be described in one word, "chaos".
Under the organization of the figures of the League, the troops of the various states and highways that came to support the 6 continued to include the Eastern Guangdong Army, the Western Guizhou Army, etc., plus all kinds of death squads and vanguards of the People's Army.
They didn't catch up with the battle of recovering Jinling, but they all regarded themselves as heroes of the republic, and in Jinling City, these chaotic teams reached nearly 100,000 in 6.
Wang Feng didn't care about the food and salary of these people, and he didn't care what others said about him or what they thought of him.
These days, his mind has been focused on two things, one is to establish the camp school of the first division of the 6th Army. With the teachers of the former No. 4 Middle School of the 6th Army as the backbone, the teaching force received from the Armament School, the Survey School, the 6th Army Primary School, etc.
Rectify into a large-scale cultivation institution. Officers are selected from the army and first undergo a six-month training period.
It's not that Wang Feng doesn't know that the composition of his army is quite complicated, and what he is most concerned about now is how to consolidate the army and how to make this army completely available to him? There was always a huge shadow of the Confederate over his head. The transfer of officers was only the first step in his plan.
The second thing was to organize a detachment to go north, prepare to continue the Northern Expedition, and completely defeat the remnants of Zhang Da Braided in northern Jiangsu.
There are two main railway lines crisscrossed in North Jiangsu Road, as well as the canal and the salt of Huaibei, which must not be abandoned.
Moreover, North Jiangsu Province is also the gateway to Jinling City, and only by laying a foundation in North Jiangsu Province can he ensure that in the future, he can really seize the entire Huaizhou.
On this day, Zhang Jizhi quietly came to Jinling City to visit Wang Feng, and Wang Feng had been waiting for him for a long time.
"General Wang, this is the operating statement of the Iron and Blood Bank in January, please take a look."
Wang Feng didn't answer the report, but just smiled: "Old Ji, you are a senior, why are you so polite to me, a junior?" Once the Provisional Government is formed, it has been rumored that you will always be the Minister of Industry! Now that you have been wronged to help me in the bank, I already feel panicked! ”
Zhang Jizhi touched his gray beard, and just looked at Wang Feng with a smile. The outside world was very surprised by his high status and influence as an old man, but he was wronged by Wang Feng's staff.
But he felt that this step was not wrong. The whole of the southeast was under the control of the armed forces of the Hui Party.
These constitutionalist figures are empty-handed. Although he retreated into the background, Wang Feng now has 20,000 elite soldiers, and he is also inseparable from the Alliance.
He believes that this armed force can exert a certain influence, and in the changing situation of this era, with the armed forces, the political group has a foundation!
Another reason is that he is not very good for outsiders, he has been running an industry for so many years, but recently he has been quite a little ineffective, and his own business in Nantong is losing money.
He has always been used to the scene, and Wang Feng gave him a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, which is very subsidized to him now.
He also secretly admired Wang Feng's ability to make money, not only did he not take money from the bank when he beat Jinling, but he actually remitted more than 2 million silver dollars when he beat Jinling City, and he, the chairman of the bank, is now doing a good job.
He put down the report and said with a smile: "It's okay not to read it, anyway, now the iron-blooded banking business is thriving and very profitable." Chen Yingshi's military bills and bonds in Shenhai are all rejected on the market, and they are all using our bank bills, even if the silver dollar made by the commander of your portrait is now discounted to a piece and a half of foreign money. We don't have to worry about this money for a while! ”
Saying that, he changed the topic again: "When I entered Jinling City, I saw stragglers all over the street, still the commander's team, neatly dressed and well-equipped. When those troops saw the commander's patrol, they were in awe! In Jinling City, the prestige of the first division is the highest? ”
Wang Feng smiled: "What's the use of high prestige?" Now the accusations that my brother has received cannot be said. Just waiting for the Northern Expedition detachment to complete the training, the brothers went to Xuzhou and beat the drowt dog. Jinling City is such a messy place, I don't know how much trouble it will come in the future. Whoever loves it, who wants it! The brother still abdicated to make way for Xian. ”
Zhang Jizhi groaned for a while, and then looked at Wang Feng's expression.
Finally, he said, "General Wang, now you have reached this position. If you retreat, you may not be able to be a rich man safely..."
Wang Feng nodded: "There are more people who want my brother's life." ”
Zhang Jizhi smiled: "Now I can only move forward and not retreat." If the general is still so willing to fight, he will treat the name as a floating cloud. Little old man, it's not worth stealing as a general! In the name of this party, it is only harmful but not beneficial, and these strengths can be said to have been painstakingly managed by the general. ”
"But there is no advantage of the alliance, when the time comes, they want it, the general will give it or not? Of course, it is not that the general and the alliance are hostile, but now the party flow of this association is too mixed, and since the recovery, there are still people who make profits by selling the membership card of the alliance! People who are clean and self-conscious, and stay away from it. The little old man thought that this would be divided right around the corner! ”
"Why didn't the general set up his own banner and unite with some more promising political organization? The party can help, but it must not be relied on! ”
Speaking of which, it is Zhang Jizhi who is wooing Wang Feng.
Wang Feng also knew that they were in Shenhai, and that there were many constitutionalist figures in this party, and if there was Wang Feng's army, which would become the basis of their armed forces, their part of the political map of the early Republic of China would be indispensable.
Wang Feng was silent for a long time and finally said lightly: "Old Ji, there are a lot of things now, and my brother is very annoying!" There are some things that the brothers can't decide too early. ”
Zhang Jizhi is also a long-lived figure and is not moving. Smiled: "Good! The old man is here, and he has to talk to the general for a few days, and he can talk about things slowly! ”
