The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 396

Some people are in high spirits, and some have sallow complexions and vacillating steps. They are clearly divided into two factions.Energetic were the soldiers of the Fifth Division, and the sluggish Fourth Division troops.

Most of the soldiers of the Fifth Division have experience of crossing the ocean, so a short one-day sea journey is nothing, but the Fourth Division who has never been to sea is uncomfortable.

"Commander Zhang, the situation is urgent. Our troops will not wait for you. We will enter the city first. Your troops will take a rest and follow in right away! Situ Yong, commander of the first battalion of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army, faces the haggard Fourth Division. Zhang Fakui, commander of the first battalion of the second regiment, said.

"Okay! We'll come right after a half-hour rest." Zhang Fakui gritted his teeth.The other party is the elite of the Fifth Division, so he can't be ashamed of the fourth division's trump card. Unfortunately, now his subordinates have become soft-footed crabs, and they can only watch Situ Yong with the soldiers of the Fifth Division and leave.

At the beginning of the night, a group of troops suddenly appeared in the city of Guangzhou. They quickly occupied and surrounded the Guangxi troops stranded in Guangzhou, and added machine guns to the opposing camp.

The Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce also participated in this operation, sending troops to participate in the siege of the Guangxi army.

"The Cantonese army is back!" I don't know who shouted loudly, and the whole city knew it after a while.

The Guijun No. 1000, who was surrounded by the camp, immediately collapsed after learning that the Guangdong army had entered the city.I have launched several assaults to no avail, and after falling into the camp a few mortar shells, I had to surrender.

Afterwards, the fourth division Zhang Fakui's division also controlled strategic locations such as the government and the National Assembly, captured Cen Chunxuan and other Guangxi political minds, and rescued some congressmen arrested by Cen Chunxuan and Lu Rongting.

The next morning, another 5,000 troops of the Second Army of the Guangdong Army landed in Guangzhou, occupied Nansha, Nanhai, Foshan, Shunde and other places, and took over the local government.Unfortunately, a group of unscrupulous people who tried to fish in troubled waters were severely beaten.

A few days later, when Chen Jiongming entered Guangzhou City proudly, the whole city was boiling.Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi and others also rushed back to Guangzhou from Hong Kong to discuss the reorganization of the Guangzhou regime.

With the prestige of a great victory, Chen Jiongming played the banner of inter-provincial autonomy, implemented autonomy in 92 counties in the province, and completed the implementation of elected county heads and county councilors.Draft the "Draft Constitution of Guangdong Province" and improve the legal system.He delegated this important task to Wu Tingfang, a doctor of law.

At the same time, Chen Duxiu was invited to Guangdong to preside over the overall education, establish public education, implement free education, and develop private education.In the city, Guangzhou City, the first city in the history of Chinese cities, was established, and the director of finance, public security, public works, education, public and health was established.

The municipal memorial library, the first park, the public children's playground, the public stadium, the art school, the holding of sports games, art exhibitions, the installation of street lights, and the construction of new-style residential quarters.

A large number of institutions such as the Guangdong General Chamber of Commerce, the Guangdong Economic Investigation Bureau, and the Stock Exchange were established to introduce Western financial systems to develop Guangdong's financial industry.

Chen Jiongming's various achievements in Guangzhou are enviable. It seems that an American-style constitutional government is about to be born in China.After Situ Nan received all the information from Guangzhou, he was a little excited, a little curious, and a little nervous.Not only Chen Jiongming himself is experimenting, but Situ Nan is also experimenting.He telegraphed Situ Meideng and Lin Yimin.

"This is a rare and far-reaching attempt. It deserves our utmost kindness to treat it, just like caring for a seedling."

Chen Jiongming also plans to issue a smoking ban to crack down on the opium business.However, Situ Meideng was not able to establish a firm foothold in time, and slowly persuaded him.

It is shocking that Chen Jiongming and the Guangdong army will have a complete victory. His proposed inter-provincial autonomy and a series of reforms actively carried out in Guangdong show that the Guangdong army has no intention of fighting for hegemony. The warlords around here are relieved.Many people don't understand why the Gui army, which has been in Guangdong and Guangxi for many years, was suddenly defeated.

The hotness of Guangzhou was very popular with some people. Before Sun Wen and his party members who had been desperate to get back to Shanghai, there was news that Chen Jiongming and his Guangdong army had sent their supernatural powers back to Guangzhou.

Lenovo’s previous nastyness with each other, Sun Wen realized that he had been tricked by others, but unfortunately, if he was not impatient, could he blame others?

The rise of the Cantonese Army made Sun Wen realize that this is a powerful force. He restrained his inner desires, and politely wrote to Chen Jiongming that he wanted to return to Guangzhou. He pretended to say: "The Cantonese matter is presided over by Chen Jun, but Zhongshan returned to Guangdong but responded. I was stunned the day before yesterday."

Let him come back?Now that the situation in Guangzhou has stabilized, is there going to be another storm?

Chen Jiongming frowned again.

Chapter 145

"Is this credible? What kind of personality is he, the most indulgent, letting his own temperament not take care of others. So you must not agree to him. At least three to five years can not let him get to Guangdong, let alone let him have the opportunity to get involved in Guangdong The army, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Rejecting him now is just verbal abuse. If we let him come back, it will be a military encounter. Our efforts will be wasted by then."

Situ Meideng categorically cut the railway.In his opinion, Sun Wen disregarded Guangdong's poor finances and was delusional about the Northern Expedition. In addition to sabotage, he still sabotaged and achieved nothing.The so-called Three People's Principles, even he himself was chanting slogans, and he never implemented it seriously.

Chen Jiongming had to pay attention to Situ Meideng's severe warning.Now the financial power of Guangdong Province is in the hands of Situ Meitang, a gang-born gangster. Although Situ Meitang does not have outstanding financial management skills, his deputy Wu Chaoshu has put down his legal affairs and became the deputy minister of finance. Under the planning of those professionals, the financial consultants of the Chinese company are gradually rectifying the financial system of Guangdong.

For the Guangdong-Guangxi War, Zhi Gong Dang and Mei Hua Company spent nearly 15 million on the Guangdong Army.Here, there are many things that cannot be measured by money, such as lobbying business groups to cooperate with the Guangdong army to liberate Guangzhou, dredging relations with the United Kingdom and the United States, etc., all of which are paid by Meihua.

After moving to Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming carried out a major clean-up of the government and replaced his own personnel in the armed forces such as the military and public security systems. Key departments such as finance, taxation, and transportation fell into the hands of the Zhigong Party and Meihua Company. Wu partitioned the Guangdong regime.

After more than ten years of exploitation by the Beiyang and Guangxi schools, Guangdong's finances are only empty shells. Chen Jiongming has no money and can only rely on Zhi Gong Dang and Meihua Company.Utilize the strong economic strength and financial management ability of Meihua to tide over the difficulties.

Sun Wen's return to Guangdong is related to the future situation in Guangdong Province, and it is of great importance. Chen Jiongming is not very arbitrary.With Situ Meideng's insistence, he followed the tide and decided to ignore Sun Wen and concentrate on building a model province in Guangdong.

As for the opposition to Sun Wen's return to Guangdong, the enthusiastic group of legislators in the province shouted.

The city of Guangzhou fell into the hands of the Cantonese army. The Gui family, who had no leader, was panicked. The other Gui army stranded in Guangdong fled back to Guangxi for fear that the Cantonese army would liquidate them.

Among the Gui family fleeing, there is a special unit.He was the Li Zongren tribe who was entrenched in the Xinhui. During the war, the Li Zongren tribe stood on the sidelines.

After Lu Rongting's failure, the old Gui family returned to Guangxi one after another. Li Zongren intercepted and gathered the scattered soldiers halfway. He was very busy, and the number quickly swelled to 4,000.

The reason why Li Zongren resolutely incorporated the old department of the Gui Family in the Xinhui was because he had the support of the Zhi Gong Party.Under the arrangement of Situ Meideng, under the arrangement of Situ Meideng, the Cantonese army handed over 5,000 captives of the Gui army to Li Zongren's department, and also had a large number of weapons.The Guangdong army, busy taking over the power in various places, selectively ignored the "remnants" of the Gui army.

In this regard, Chen Jiongming acquiesced, but asked Li Zongren to leave Guangdong as soon as possible.With this generous "dowry", Li Zongren returned to Guangxi beautifully and quickly took over the Guangxi government.

As Lu Rongting drew out the Guangxi army, Guangxi's empty-strength opponent Li Zongren, who is heavily armed, is a ripe persimmon.…

As Chen Jiongming entered Guangzhou, his direct line successively occupied the affluent Pearl River Delta.It is not suitable for the powerful force of the Fifth Division of the Second Army of the Guangdong Army to continue to occupy Guangzhou.

One week after entering Guangzhou, Zhang Chengdong offered to lead the Fifth Division to western Guangdong.Chen Jiongming readily agreed to this request.

When the city of Guangzhou was full of joy, the Fifth Division quietly left the Guangzhou station and embarked on a journey of war again.

It's another dusk at Huangpu Wharf in Guangzhou.The desolation caused by the war before has resumed its busyness again. There is a passenger ship berthed in the port. It was the ship of the Southern Star Shipping Company to transport the Fifth Division.

"A Yong, I want to have a nice drink with you. I didn't expect you to leave so soon." Zhang Fakui looked at the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division who were busy boarding, and said regretfully to Situ Yong beside him.During the storming of Guangzhou, the two met at once and fell in love with each other. At this moment, seeing Situ Yong was leaving, Zhang Fakui was a little bit disappointed.

"If you don't leave, you will be abandoned. Besides, we still have tasks. It's not like you can rest in Guangzhou and enjoy the blessings." Situ Yong smiled.

Zhang Fakui was a student of Chen Jiongming when he was teaching the Army Elementary School. He has the friendship between teachers and students, so he is highly used.Situ Yong somewhat admired Zhang Fakui's bravery. When he landed in Guangzhou, Zhang Fakui brought the "soft-footed crabs" from the Fourth Division to Guangzhou City and fought side by side with the Fifth Division and liberated Guangzhou.Parting at this moment, cherish each other.

"Alright! I'm leaving, you will receive good news from us in a few days." Situ Yong said excitedly.After saying a salute, turn on board.

In the battle between the Guangdong-Dian Army and the Guangxi Clique, he lost the battle for the power of Guangzhou. Although he responded to Sun Wen's call and spent a few days in Guangzhou, it was a pity that he was hit by Lu Rongting.

After Chen Jiongming fought back to Guangzhou, he completely disbanded the army in Guangdong and Yunnan.However, the cunning and savvy Tang Jiyao still maintained a strong force in Yunnan, and his foundation was not damaged. He hurried back to Yunnan, preparing to take advantage of Guangxi's emptiness.

Tang Jiyao was ready to move and sent troops to attack Osmanthus, pointing towards Nanning.Halfway through, it suddenly heard that the Cantonese army had landed from Fangcheng!After a two-day sea journey led by Zhang Chengdong, the Fifth Division landed from Fangcheng Port in the Beibu Gulf and occupied Fangcheng without blood.

Tang Jiyao was extremely shocked and didn't know what to do for a while.Tang Jiyao was jealous of the Fifth Division of the Cantonese Army that had just defeated the Guizhou elite Mo Rong's new division within a day in Shantou.Now he appeared under his nose from Guangzhou thousands of miles away, how could he dare to attack Nanning?

It is absolutely inevitable to fight against the powerful Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army. If he loses, Tang Jiyao will lose his last capital, and he will not even have a place to cry by then.

That's it, it's nothing more.Tang Jiyao finally had to sigh three times and withdraw!He decisively gave up his attempt to Guangxi and withdrew to Yunnan.

As the elites of the Gui family went to Guangdong with Lu Rongting and failed, the old, weak, sick and disabled Gui army stationed in Nanning was caught off guard by the Fifth Division, which was coming straight from the sea, and had to surrender.

The Fifth Division once again crossed the sea on an expedition to completely destroy the Guangxi rule. At this time, Li Zongren, who had returned to Guangxi by land, also attacked Guilin from the north, and cooperated with the Fifth Division, one south and one north, to firmly control the situation in Guangxi. .

Zhang Chengdong wanted to teach the other party an unforgettable lesson about Tang Jiyao's small actions in Yunnan, but it was a pity that Tang Jiyao escaped too fast, and it was a pity that he made a group of warlike soldiers.Because after that, there was no chance to fight for a long time.

The Fifth Division lived in Nanning and threatened Tang Jiyao not to interfere in Guangxi. This allowed Li Zongren to reorganize the Guangxi regime and reorganize the Guangxi regime.

Li Zongren suddenly emerged in the Guangdong-Guangxi War. From a small regimental commander, it seemed that he became the new leader of the Gui army.In order to prevent Li Zongren’s dominance, the Fifth Division continued to be stationed in Nanning and suppressed the Guangxi army. The Zhigong Party also implemented joint provincial autonomy in Guangxi. Meihua Company controlled Guangxi’s finances and the Zhigong party Ma Junwu (joined with the lobbying of Situ Meideng) Zhi Gong Party) became the governor of Guangxi and Li Zongren served as the commander of Guangxi, forming a three-legged trend.

When recruiting the remnants of the Gui army in Xinhui, Li Zongren incorporated the model camp that Lu Rongting painstakingly compiled and trained. Battalion Commander Huang Shaohong turned to Li Zongren and became Li Zongren's right-hand man.

The Li-Huang combination became the leader of the new Gui family, while another giant, Zhuge Bai Chongxi, was captured in Shantou and incorporated into the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army.
