The journey starts from the Titanic

They are all outstanding people for a while.But how to say?Now it is not hundreds of years ago. With so many external forces, how easy is it to unify force?

Doing the best is nothing more than Yuan Shikai.Can Yuan Shikai bring hope to this country?Therefore, the simple reunification by force, if there is no economic and political cooperation, the best result will be nothing more than a bunch of small warlords under the big warlords.

In the Zhiwan War just finished in the north, there was our company's arms. With the support of our arms, he readily mobilized troops to Beijing to create a favorable opportunity for you to return to Guangzhou."

"Why not choose Wu Peifu? He is very strong!" Chen Jiongming said.

"He is Guan Gong, Guan Gong can fight, and often wins, but in the end he fails. Wu Peifu is a arrogant person, superstitious of force, and we don’t like him. He is directly in the Four World Wars, and the future will be turbulent, which is not suitable. Invest in construction. And the model county you promote in Zhangzhou fits our philosophy well, so I have the opportunity to persuade the top leaders of the party to cooperate with you."

Situ Meideng said.

"Don't worry! After the event is over, most of our people will withdraw to Nanyang, and will not interfere with your rule in Guangdong, let alone oppose the construction of your model province. Our direction is the same. On the contrary, we will provide A lot of funds to build Guangdong."

Situ Meideng put his heart in his stomach.Chen Jiongming felt the sincerity of the other party.At least the other party has no political ambitions and will not pose a threat to Chen Jiongming.He was full of admiration for the Zhi Gong Dang daring to take food from foreigners in Nanyang.

After receiving strong support from the Zhi Gong Party, Chen Jiongming was confident in regaining power in Guangzhou.Then he and Situ Meideng discussed how to build a model province in Guangdong for a long time.On behalf of Meihua Company, Stuart Meideng expressed that it would vigorously cooperate with Chen Jiongming in economic construction.

Finally, Situ Meideng remembered an important question."Once everything is done, Sun Wen will definitely return to Guangzhou. You have to be cautious about how to deal with it. I hope you will be resolute. It is not what you and I want to see if someone takes over the nest."

"Don't worry! I have my own measures." Chen Jiongming nodded, feeling that the other party himself would reject Sun Wen himself.Thinking about the grievances between Daozhi Gongtang and Sun Wen, he immediately let go.

With a package of promised transactions, Situ Meiden visited some famous people in Guangzhou after a short stay in Zhangzhou, creating favorable conditions for the Guangdong army to return to Guangdong.

After Situ Meideng left, Chen Jiongming thought for a long time.He found his confidant Deng Keng and told him Situ Meideng had come.

"Mom! Big brother, this time we are going to exhale. After regaining the whole province, we must build well, and we must not let those guys come and make trouble." Deng Kengjian said excitedly.

I asked Chen Jiongming if he had any harsh conditions for signing.

"That's not the case. They just made an IOU. In this regard, they are quite good at being human." Chen Jiongming said.

"That's good. When we call back to Guangdong and gritted our teeth, we can pay back the money we owe them in a few years." Deng Keng said.

"By the way, when Jizan was leaving, remind me that Sun Wen will definitely come back after we take down Guangdong. How shall we treat him then?" Chen Jiongming frowned.

"Mr. Sun, how do you say? Forget it, since they are all separated, let's go their own way! But I ask if I have a clear conscience." Deng Keng sighed.

Deng Keng is the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army and the No. 2 figure in the Guangdong Army. Chen Jiongming must agree with the other party on this issue, otherwise there will be civil unrest.

"Good conscience!" Chen Jiongming smiled and made up his mind.Then Chen Jiongming ordered Deng Keng to strengthen the training of the troops.For a time, the Cantonese army recruited troops to buy horses, and it was so lively that Deng Keng, the chief of staff, kept busy.

Speaking of which, Deng Keng is also a tragedy.Historically, after the Guangdong army fought back to Guangdong, Deng Keng was assassinated in Guangzhou in accordance with Chen Jiongming's order.However, Sun Wen accused Chen Jiongming of doing it. In fact, the Kuomintang was even more suspicious. It is still a mystery.However, the Kuomintang that has "destroyed the history of Taoism" cannot be convinced.

The death of his confidant, coupled with numerous slanders, made Chen Jiongming discouraged.It was easy to get in. The Cantonese army drove away the troops from other provinces. In order to contend for the power of Guangzhou, Sun Wen again bought the Dian army and the Gui army attacked Guangzhou. In order to avoid the war from destroying the city of Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming took the initiative to retreat to Dongguan, and was never recovered....

The Zhi Gong Dang’s US-China Security Corps in western Guangdong was also quietly expanded to 2,000 people. It was well-equipped and rigorous in military discipline. It implicitly controlled the Leizhou Peninsula. It could not only cut off the Gui army’s return route, but also wield the army to cross the sea and attack Hainan.

With the support of Meihua Company, Li Zongren, a general who has always been optimistic about Situ Nan, also secretly expanded his troops, faintly self-reliant.

After Situ Meideng contacted some related households in Guangzhou, he rushed to Jiangmen in central Guangdong and Leizhou Peninsula in western Guangdong without stopping.

As he threaded needles in his back, a big net against the Guangxi warlords was gradually unfolding.At the same time, through the sea, Nanyang military personnel and a large number of armaments are quietly moving north, secretly equipped to the hands of designated troops.

Just when Chen Jiongming and Situ Meiden conspired to seize the power of Guangdong, Sun Wen in Shanghai ordered an embarrassing situation.

The revolution is a treat for dinner and money is needed, but he is in an awkward position, watching the Song family's industry flourish step by step, he feels a little worried.

Just because of his marriage to Song Er, Song Jiashu died early and he became an unpopular person in the Song family.Fortunately, Jiang Ji Financial's speculative business under him is good, and if he can do a good job occasionally, his life will certainly not be difficult.

After losing Chen Jiongming's army, he almost became a polished commander again, but Xu Chongzhi pulled out more than 3,000 troops from the Guangdong army and is now stationed in southern Fujian, which made him gratified.It is a pity that they can't afford military expenses. Xu Chongzhi's troops can only survive tenaciously with a strong revolutionary spirit.

Sun Wen didn't know that after parting ways with Chen Jiongming, the situation in Guangdong has undergone amazing changes.The Guangdong army, which he identified as a rebel army, has been reorganized and expanded to 60,000 people, and it is well-equipped and has everything.

Chen Jiongming was compiled into two armies.He personally served as commander and commander of the First Army, and Deng Keng was the chief of staff and commander of the First Division of the Guangdong Army.The faithful buddies Ye Ju, Xie Yi, and Chen Changxiu served as the commanders of the second, third, and fourth divisions respectively.

The commander of the Second Army was Zhang Chengdong from Nanyang.Zhang Chengdong came on a ship of the Southern Star Shipping Company with a large amount of ammunition. For the sake of this ammunition, the lieutenant generals can only secretly admire him.

There were also 300 generals and generals who came along, almost gathering the best of the army.What's more, these elites in the military also brought their own mentors and instructors, 15 Germans with rich experience after World War I.

According to the agreement between Situ Meideng and Chen Jiongming, the Chinese children of Nanyang were concentrated in the newly formed 5th Division of the Guangdong Army, and this future essence of Nanyang Chinese military force was placed under the command of Zhang Chengdong.

The US-China Security Corps buried by the Zhi Gong Party in western Guangdong also secretly received a designation and was named the US-China Independent Corps.

Zhang Chengdong is better at special operations in the dense forests of Southeast Asia, and now he is going to command an army upright, although his opponent is a gang of opium-sucking mobs, he starts to feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, he brought a staff team, which is full of German staff who are born to fight and the elites who have been sent to military academies of various countries in recent years by the Zhi Gong Party.After coming from Nanyang, the little Zhangzhou became lively.

In April, when the Guangxi-Dian warlords were scumbags and had no time to take care of them, Chen Jiongming sent troops to Chaoshan and easily took Chaozhou Shantou.It began to conscript local troops while secretly receiving Nanyang munitions.

Since Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army lacked technical arms, artillery, machine gunners and other technical arms could only be served by sergeants sent by Nanyang.Chen Jiongming selected some clever youths to follow Nanyang instructors to learn artillery, machine guns, armored vehicles, aircraft and other technologies.

In May, the first 500 men of the Nanyang Army under the 5th Division came ashore from Shantou secretly by the Southern Star Steamship Company.After several secret troop movements, the number reached 3,000.

Then Chen Jiongming transferred the troops that were originally trained by Nanyang instructors in the Guangdong Army into the Fifth Division and added a few new recruits. This special team took shape, and a glorious history began.

Chapter 143

For those Western-style Nanyang factions, some old people in the Cantonese army have doubts.However, after seeing the instructors sent by Nanyang and showing some hands, most of the doubts were eliminated.

In fact, most of the soldiers were either Cantonese or Fujianese. The soldiers who returned from Nanyang were originally migrant workers who could not survive abroad. Therefore, the same background quickly brought them into one another, and the relationship between them became more and more of them. Get close.

Chen Jiongming's heart was secretly let go.Now the Guangxi-Dian army is fighting for the power of Guangzhou. The situation is favorable to the Guangdong army. What Chen Jiongming is most worried about is the internal conflict in the army.

In August, the battle between Guangxi and Yunnan for the power of Guangdong was finally determined. The Dian army was driven out of Guangdong, and the Guangxi clique took over the power of Guangzhou. Since then, the military government of Guangzhou defending France that Sun Wen concocted has come to an end.

Tang Jiyao, Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi and other politicians announced their withdrawal from the Guangzhou military government. Because Wu Tingfang and Situ Meideng had long been linked, when he left Guangzhou, he brought a large number of letters and documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance to Hong Kong, and at the same time abducted 1.8 million yuan. Guan Yu temporarily settled down, waiting for the Guangdong army to return to Guangzhou.

Along with Wu Tingfang is Tang Shaoyi. Because of Situ Nan's relationship, Gu Weijun got close to the Zhigong Party, and naturally, as Gu Weijun's father-in-law, Tang Shaoyi also came with the Zhigong Party.

The Guangxi Clan had long heard of Chen Jiongming's aggressive expansion of troops in Fujian and Guangdong.During this time, news of Chen Jiongming's aggressive recruitment in Zhangzhou, Chaoshan, spread to Guangzhou from time to time, and the battle between Guangdong and Guangxi was inevitable.

The Gui army, who defeated the Dian army and dominated Guangdong, was full of morale and attempted to use the power of victory to defeat Chen Jiongming.

Although he knew that Chen Jiongming was fierce, he didn't take it seriously.The original Cantonese army of Chen Jiongming had only 20,000 people, short clothes and little food. After being separated from Sun Wen, he was dragged away by a part of the army. It would be good if he could restore his original level.

On August 11, Guangzhou issued the crusade order, appointing Shen Hongying as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Guangdong, the middle road was the Guijun Liu Zhilu division, the right was the Zhejiang army Lu Gongwang division, the left was the Yunnan army’s Shengtao division, and the three-way attacked the Guangdong army.

It was a very hot Wednesday, it was an August summer.The Cantonese army has changed its shotguns for a long time. Now it’s not what it used to be. Just waiting for them to come here. Chen Jiongming walked to the headquarters and found Chief of Staff Deng Keng, Second Army Commander Zhang Chengdong and a group of big and small generals with serious expressions in their eyes. Constantly excited.

"Commander, Cen Chunxuan has issued an order to discuss Min. He is coming towards us." Chief of Staff Deng Keng said to Chen Jiongming excitedly.

Chen Jiongming smiled slightly, as if he had expected it.He turned his head and looked at Zhang Chengdong, the commander of the Second Army with a cold face.

"Fight! Commander! Everyone is waiting anxiously." Zhang Chengdong said.For the organization to spend so much manpower and material resources to arm the Cantonese army, if he can't defeat Lu Rongting's opium soldiers, he really has no face to return to Nanyang.

During this period, as he learned about the domestic warlord forces, he found that his previous worries were unnecessary.According to the conservative estimate of the German consultant, the strength of his Fifth Division is at least as strong as the three divisions of the Guangxi Department. With the addition of aircraft, artillery, armored vehicles and company, it is no problem to defeat the 10th Division.However, because he is a newcomer, he makes as few comments as possible.

The next day, Chen Jiongming held an oath-taking meeting in Zhangzhou and put forward the slogan "Cantonese governing Guangdong" and led the wandering soldiers from western Guangdong to crusade against the Guangxi army that controls Guangzhou.
