Chapter 308: The Kuomintang's Northern Expedition

With Feng Yuxiang's electrification, the entire city of Beijing changed hands. This strange situation made foreign ambassadors stunned, China is a strange country, and the capital of a country can be easily occupied by local forces. This is unthinkable in Western countries.

But now that the capital of a country has changed hands, in the West, it can affect the whole country's major affairs, and even affect the world. To know. The world was not at all peaceful at this time. World War I was in full swing. Millions of Allied and Entente armies strangled together and crushed the so-called civilized world of the West. Especially with the large-scale use of tanks and aircraft, the contest of forces between the two sides has become a contest of technology. Now on the battlefield, because the British are one step ahead of other countries, their tank technology is the most mature on the entire battlefield, but Germany, with its excellent technology and rigorous character, has introduced a new type of tank whose performance is not inferior to that of British tanks, and now some of them have been put into the battlefield and have achieved great results. This made Britain feel the crisis and once again look for allies around the world, with Japan and the United States being the focus of its wooing.

As another new type of troops, the aircraft has more stringent requirements for technology, which is very obvious on the battlefield, but limited to the technology of this period, the combat radius of the aircraft and the number of ammunition carried are really limited, so that the application of the aircraft on the battlefield is very extensive, after all, the structure of the aircraft is simple, and it is unstable, and it is impossible to fully grasp the air supremacy. Moreover, in the confrontation of aircraft, Germany's technological superiority began to emerge continuously, which made Britain, France and other countries aware of the crisis.

Zhangzhou County, Fujian.

A group of thousands of soldiers quickly rushed into Zhangzhou County and immediately surrounded the station of the security regiment. A 1,500-strong security regiment in Zhangzhou became a prisoner of others in their sleep.

"Report to the army commander, the security regiment of the Beiyang Army has been completely disarmed by our party army. The key departments of the entire county have also been controlled. "As the head of the first regiment of the party army, and the only regiment commander of the party army now, He Yingqin can be regarded as a high authority. Of course, he knows that his current power comes from the man in front of him, so he still has great respect for Chiang Kai-shek.

"Very good, you immediately lead the forces to radiate near Zhangzhou, and strive to destroy all the resistance of the enemy in the vicinity in the shortest possible time." Chiang Kai-shek said in a deep voice. As for Chiang Kai-shek's military ability, the historical comments are very low, saying that he is an unpopular commander-in-chief, but he still likes to command blindly. Many of the disasters of the Chinese revolution were caused by his blind command. But how could Chiang Kai-shek, who had been able to dominate China for so many years, be a mediocre talent, even if he was not a grand strategist, there was no problem with only one regiment-sized authority. Chiang Kai-shek, who had tried the sweet taste of military power, would not let go of the power in his hands at all.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" He Yingqin said loudly.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, because with the cooperation of the revolutionaries, their first landing operation had been successfully realized. Now that Zhangzhou, an important town in southern Fujian, had fallen into their hands, Chiang Kai-shek believed that it would not be long before he could complete the occupation of the entire southern part of Fujian.

"Report to the commander, Mr. Sun's telegram!" This operation was mainly a military operation, and there were revolutionaries lurking in Zhangzhou, so there was no problem in taking Zhangzhou, which had no military commanders.

"Give it to me." Chiang Kai-shek said with a frown. Then quickly turn out the telegram of the intelligence officer. When he opened it, his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

"Chen Jiongming, he is really good at grabbing fruits! However, this Zhangzhou was brought down by my Chiang Kai-shek, and it is not so easy for you to come and grab the fruit! Chiang Kai-shek said gloomily.

It turned out that the telegram said that Chen Jiongming was coming to Zhangzhou, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would be able to pick him up. After negotiations, Chen Jiongming had agreed to join the Kuomintang and assist the Kuomintang in forming a party army. Of course, he also put forward the condition, that is, to establish a Cantonese army. Chen Jiongming was still angry that his Cantonese army was defeated by the Gui faction, and wanted to use the power of the Kuomintang to regain his position. Sun Wen thought about this for a long time, and finally agreed. After contact with Chen Jiongming, Sun Wen can generally judge what kind of person Chen Jiongming is, he is no different from other warlords in China, he is a selfish warlord. Such people can be used, but not relied upon. This cooperation can be said to be everyone's needs.

"Come on, go and select the able-bodied people among all the captured Beiyang Army soldiers and organize them into the second regiment of the party army, and the others will continue to be imprisoned!" A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth. Don't you Chen Jiongming want to be a soldier! I'll give it to you, but don't think about it. This Fujian is already a small population. It's good to be able to make walnuts and dates. This can be regarded as a means for Chiang Kai-shek to confront Chen Jiongming! After all, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and Chen Jiongming was a decision made by Sun Wen and other high-level officials, although Chiang Kai-shek's identity arrived. However, after all, he was alone, and one person could not decide the affairs of the entire Kuomintang, so he could only obey the instructions of the Kuomintang leadership. It's just that the specific implementation depends on the means of his army commander Jiang.

When Chen Jiongming arrived in Zhangzhou, Chiang Kai-shek had already packed up the wealth of the entire Zhangzhou and took it away. Even if he couldn't take it away, he kept it privately. It was just a mess left for Chen Jiongming, looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled captive soldiers in the prisoner camp, Chen Jiongming's lungs almost exploded. How could such an inferior soldier become an army, no matter how great his ability Chen Jiongming was, he would not be able to train these crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Chiang Kai-shek!" Chen Jiongming roared word by word. But now he is also a tiger in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. No matter how much pain he felt in his heart, he could only choose to endure, after all, compared to Chiang Kai-shek, who had 3,000 party troops, he Chen Jiongming was nothing now.

"Get rid of all these people! Then he erected the name of General Ben. Recruit elite soldiers. Today's shame, the Japanese generals must get it back with interest. Chen Jiongming said to his only remaining extremely confidant.

On the same day, Chen Jiongming, the overseer of Guangdong in Yuan, issued a telegram in Zhangzhou County, Fujian Province, establishing a Guangdong army in southern Fujian, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the Liangguang and Guangxi systems.

Regarding Chen Jiongming's high profile, all forces are a little confused, thinking that Chen Jiongming is a fool when he is a princess. Is the current Liangguang something that he can fight against as a field general who has just established himself? The two Guangxi are now in alliance with the southwest, and the confrontation with the two Guangxi at this time is to confront the forces of the southwest and the two Guangzhous. Those who do not run rampant are not rampant.

Off the coast of Fujian, a merchant ship. The cabin was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was extremely dreary.

"Prime Minister, it's all my fault, I shouldn't believe people like Chen Jiongming at all!" Liao Zhongkai said in a deep voice. In the original plan, Chen Jiongming was to declare the independence of Zhangzhou, and then to announce the life of the north, so that the party army could pounce directly on Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province. It's a pity that Chen Jiongming didn't know what he thought, and he changed his mind as soon as he got to the shore. It's fast to turn your face and not turn the book. In this way, Sun Wen and the others cast a shadow on their hearts.

"Liao Zhongkai, now is not a question of who is right and who is wrong, the first thing to do now is to figure out Chen Jiongming's purpose in doing this. As a warlord, he would never make such a move for no reason, what is he doing this for, and what kind of impact will it have on our party army? Sun Wen said. He also agreed to invite Chen Jiongming. But now as soon as Chen Jiongming came ashore, he did not follow the negotiated steps, so that Sun Wen lost any certainty about the future.

"Prime Minister, will Chen Jiongming show goodwill to Beiyang again!" Wang Jingwei, who has been relatively silent at the venue, said.

"It's possible! Now the form of Beiyang in the north is not optimistic, the power in the south is empty, neither Duan Qirui nor Feng Guozhang wants to catch fire in the backyard, and for Chen Jiongming, who is capable and influential, he will definitely choose to win over. In this way, Chen Jiongming can easily lean on Beiyang's thigh. And his so-called confrontation with the Gui family is just an excuse, an excuse to win Beiyang's sympathy! Hu Hanmin said. His face turned ugly. The Kuomintang finally managed to achieve its writing achievements, but it was ruined by these damned warlords.

"So Chen Jiongming and we are enemies?" Liao Zhongkai said. The self-reproach in the words deepened. Liao Zhongkai's personality is somewhat similar to Sun Wen, both of them are revolutionary idealists, but he is weaker than Sun Wen's character, and his bookish anger is heavier. This gives him a suave feel.

"This is not necessarily, it always depends on whether Beiyang accepts his kindness! After all, before our move, Fujian was still the territory of Beiyang, and Chen Jiongming was an obvious disruptive behavior. In addition to Chen Jiongming's lack of soldiers and powers, the Beiyang government can easily drive him to work as a public servant as long as the security regiments around Zhangzhou are dispatched. Therefore, I think Chen Jiongming is gambling on the reaction of Beiyang with the results of our party and army. Hu Hanmin said. Hu Hanmin's personality is a little gloomy, but his perception of Liao Zhongkai is good. This may be the reason why gloomy people always like honest people who have no city in their hearts.

"Then let's let Zhongzheng transfer the army back and kill him!" Wang Jingwei looked at Sun Wen and said.

"Don't worry, our not the barren Fujian, but the richer Zhejiang. Now that Chen Jiongming is jumping up and down in Zhangzhou to attract the attention of all parties, our party army can just go north quickly, and constantly equip the strength of the party army in the battle. Sun Wen said. His words also set the tone for the meeting.

"Not bad! This way to the north, by capturing the strength of the Beiyang Security Corps, we are expanding the strength of our party army, once we wait until the first phase of the Huangpu Military Academy graduates, our party army can really become an elite force.
