As Chen Zikun expected, Sun Chuanfang had already made up his mind to oppose Feng, and when he was attacking, when the Feng faction was at its strongest, this person's courage and courage can be seen.

"I coincide with Xin Shuai, the so-called prosperity must decline, Fengzhang expansion is too rapid, the lone army goes deep into the south of the Yangtze River, the main force is beyond the reach of the whip, at this time to launch a war to drive Feng, will be able to win the support of all the people, and surrender the army without a fight." Chan said.

Chen Yi laughed: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, when I came, I also said that Kun Shuai and Zhang Xueliang are sworn brothers, I'm afraid it's not easy to convince, Xin Shuai said don't worry too much, Chen Kunwu is a real hero, the public and private are clear, and he must be indispensable for big things." ”

Chen Zikun also laughed heartily, and went to the study with Chen Yi to have a secret conversation with Chief of General Staff Yan.

The next day, Chen Zikun sent Yan Su to Hangzhou to attend a secret military meeting, and on the same day borrowed one million yuan from Huijin Bank, ordering the army to prepare for mobilization, mobilization and deployment, and prepare for the autumn exercises.

At the same time, a secret order was sent to Shanghai, and in the Nantai restaurant, the lights were lit up all night to discuss secretly, and in the Lujiazui warehouse in Pudong, the sealed firearms and ammunition were transported to Zhabei by boat and secretly sent to the Jingwu Society.

……

Shanghai Longhua Garrison Headquarters, Xing Shilian is processing official documents, gentry from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly bail Nong Jinsun and Jingwuhui students, he was about to approve the use of seals, there was a noise of gongs and drums outside, and someone shouted: "The superintendent has arrived." ”

Xing Shilian smiled bitterly and got up to greet him, now Yang Yuting's pomp is as big as Zhang Laoshuai, with guards and gongs and drums in and out, the guards are equipped with Qinglong Yanyue knife and Zhangba snake spear, and the scarlet tooth flag is embroidered with the word "Yang", majestic and indispensable, Zhang Xueliang was angry with him and went back to Beijing.

Jiangsu Governor Yang Yuting entered the signing room, sat unceremoniously in Xing Shilian's seat, picked up the documents on the table casually, glanced at them twice, and said categorically: "Nong Jinsun can't be released!" ”

"Supervision, Zhang Jian, Yu Qiaqing, and many well-known figures in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles jointly signed a guarantee, and there is no evidence to say it, so I'm afraid it's not good if you don't let people go."

Yang Yuting said: "The Jingwu Society has now become Chen Zikun's industry, he hides soldiers from the people, when I don't know, killing Nong Jinsun is to cut off his wings in Shanghai." ”

Xing Shilian was taken aback: "Kill Nong Jinsun? No, please think twice. ”

Yang Yuting said indifferently: "Kill and kill, I have an army of 100,000, and I am afraid that the sky will not change?" ”

Xing Shilian had no choice but to order the adjutant to do it, and in the name of the martial law headquarters, he was charged with inciting workers and students, and directly sentenced Nong Jinsun and the arrested members of the Jingwu Association to death without trial.

Yang Yuting was satisfied, and gave Xing Shilian a face-to-face lecture: "Shanghai is rich in the local area, regardless of industrial and commercial taxes, the opium tax alone is several million a year, and this money is enough to support the people of the two divisions, but now they all think of us as snakes, why, you are too merciful, implement iron-fisted rule, ban newspapers, arrest and incite rebellion leaders, catch one and shoot one, and manage and protect peace, such as that Du Yuesheng, who takes tens of thousands of yuan a month to fool things around, isn't this nonsense!" ”

Xing Shilian said: "After being taught, I will do it with my humble duties, and send military police to arrest all the dishonest people." ”

While chatting, the staff officer came in, and his heels were together: "Sun Chuanfang announced the power!" ”

Xing Shilian hurriedly took it and presented it to Yang Yuting, Yang Yuting took it with one hand, looked at it at a glance, slapped it on the table and said: "Sun Chuanfang and we have torn their faces, I think he is itchy and underbeaten, and my 100,000 army will soon go to Zhejiang." ”

After a while, the staff officer sent two more telegrams, one from Bai Baoshan, commander of the First Division of the Jiangsu Army, and Wu Peifu, who was dormant in Hubei, both of which responded to Sun Chuanfang and demanded that the Feng army withdraw from Shanghai and Jiangsu.

Yang Yuting couldn't sit still, Bai Baoshan rebelled, the back road was unstable, coupled with Wu Peifu's appeal, it seems that this anti-Feng action came extremely violently.

Xing Shilian said: "Supervision, the situation is not good, Feng Yuxiang in the northwest has always been dissatisfied with our occupation of Beijing and Zhili, this time with Sun Chuanfang's incident, he will definitely insert a knife in the back of our army, and there is also a Chen Zikun, but this time he did not send electricity, the biting dog did not bark, he did not make a sound, but it was more dangerous, Jiangdong Chen Kunwu, the best at surprise soldiers." ”

Yang Yuting paced back and forth, and suddenly stopped: "Without further ado, I will return to Nanjing immediately to command, and you stay in Shanghai to strictly prevent Sun Chuanfang from advancing north." After saying that, he hurriedly went out, a roar came from the sky, the soldiers all looked up, Yang Yuting and Xing Shilian also looked up, only to see a plane passing over the headquarters, and there were bombs hanging under the wings.

"It's not good, it's the plane of the Jiangdong Army!" Yang Yuting got into the car headlong, and the guards with the glaive knife and snake spear jumped into the truck in a hurry, and the gongs, drums, and suona were gone.

Xing Shilian had no master, and suddenly received a report that a battalion of the gendarmerie in Zhabei had been disarmed.

"Who disarmed, make it clear." Xing Shilian asked.

"It is said to be the plainclothes team of the Jiangdong Army." The adjutant also looked panicked.

Xing Shilian broke out in a cold sweat, and as expected, Chen Zikun attacked Shanghai and secretly pulled the troops over.

The phone rang at an inopportune time, and the adjutant answered, listened and handed over the receiver: "Commander, Chen Dashuai called." ”

Xing Shilian took the earpiece and heard Chen Zikun's enthusiastic voice: "Commander Xing, our department has arrived in Shanghai, and we will be able to meet soon." ”

"Kunshuai, when did you arrive, why don't you say hello in advance." Xing Shilian was sweating profusely, and the phone calls came, indicating that the other party was really in Shanghai.

Chen Zikun suddenly changed his tone and said: "I came with troops to ask for the guilt, read it in Han Qing's face, I will give you a day to withdraw from Shanghai, I will not pursue you, if you resist stubbornly, hum, you also know my methods." ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Xing Shilian sat for a while, and finally made a decision, he will not accept the order of the monarch outside, his qualifications are not much lower than Yang Yuting, there is no need to listen to his death order, Fengjun can fight to Shanghai, it is completely shit luck, and now it is embattled, rather than relying on not leaving, it is better to go with thirty-six plans to save strength, and not worry about not having the opportunity to come to Shanghai again.

"Pass my order, all the departments quickly assemble and retreat south!" Xing Shilian thought for a while, and added: "Send a telegram, abolish the martial law headquarters, withdraw from Shanghai peacefully, and let those people in the cell go, there is no point in recreating and killing at this time." ”

After the various units of the Feng army were stationed in Shanghai, the military discipline was scattered, and all kinds of evil were done, the officials were busy marrying their wives, and the soldiers were drinking, gambling, and fighting, and the combat effectiveness was rapidly declining.

……

In the prison of the garrison headquarters, Nong Jinsun sat in a narrow single cell, his eyes slightly closed, and he said something: "Yuan Jia, I didn't expect to be able to go to prison if I practiced martial arts, so I came down to accompany you, old brother." ”

With a bang, the big iron door opened, and a noisy footstep sounded, Nong Jinsun stood up and tidied up his clothes, knowing that his time had come.

The sound of unlocking came and went, everyone in the cell was released, and a group of young people opened the cell door and shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle Nong! Uncle Nong! ”

Nong Jinsun looked fixedly: "Xiao Zheng, why are you here, you ...... Could it be a rebellion? ”

Zheng Zeru carried a rifle on his shoulder, waved his fist and said, "We drove Xing Shilian away." ”

A group of people lifted Nong Jinsun out on their shoulders, and the courtyard was a mess, full of discarded debris, and the disciples of the Jingwu Society were loaded with guns and cheered.

Chen Zikun wore a flight jacket and a leather flight cap and smiled at Nong Jinsun: "Uncle Nong, you have suffered, you are our hero." ”

Nong Jinsun's eyes were blurred with tears: "Yuan Jia, I really don't understand, what's going on in this world." ”

……

Chen Zikun flew to Shanghai single-handedly, and a phone call scared Xing Shilian and the 20th Division of the Feng Army away, and won himself the reputation of a "flying general", and at this time the offensive troops of the Zhejiang army were still on the way.

The next day, the troops of Chen Yisuo, the first division of the Zhejiang Army, arrived in Shanghai without blood, and met with Chen Zikun's troops, and the two armies shook hands and said that Chen Zikun had no ambitions for Shanghai, but was very worried about the current situation of the opium epidemic.

Chen Yi immediately stated that the great cause of anti-smoking is urgent, and the establishment of the anti-smoking law enforcement corps is imminent.

As a result, the Southeast Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps quickly resumed its establishment, and the news reached the ears of the opium dealers, all of whom were in awe of Du Yuesheng's long-term vision.

All walks of life in Shanghai held a celebratory ceremony to welcome Chen Zikun and Chen Yi to Shanghai, and the newspapers, which had been suppressed for a long time, published articles one after another, denouncing all kinds of evil deeds during the period of Feng Zhi's presiding, and calling Chen Zikun a hero's return.

The concession authorities expressed cautious neutrality towards Chan's arrival, and the English-language newspaper Zilin Xi Bao called Chan "an unfriendly general to the West." ”

But they can only complain, now Chen Zikun is proud, the Beijing provisional government can not control him at all, the note protesting Chen Zikun indiscriminately shooting and killing patrols in the concession is still pressed in the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the warlords of the five southeastern provinces have unanimously expressed their opposition to Duan Qirui.

Diplomats can only shrug their shoulders in this regard, China is such a mess, but the more chaotic it is, the more it is in the interests of Western countries.

Song Ziwen, a celebrity in Shanghai, held a reception in the French Concession Mansion, and invited Chen Zikun and Chen Yi, the commander of the Zhejiang Army, to participate, and the two happily went, during the banquet Song Ziwen and Chen Yi talked very happily, Miss Song San came to Chen Zikun with a glass of wine, and congratulated him in English: "Congratulations, general, you won the little guy." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Do you mean Zhang Xueliang, I didn't beat him, it was his father, Yang Yuting, Xing Shilian and others." ”

Song Meiling said: "Is there any difference, what I want to know is, what are you going to do next, it is said that the Feng army fell thousands of miles and was hit by Chen Tiaoyuan in Nanjing, and even Yang Yuting was almost captured alive, and now they have retreated to the front line of Xuzhou, and the whole Jiangsu is waiting for a vacancy, where is your Jiangdong army?" ”

Chen Zikun was very surprised, Miss Song San knew everything about military affairs, this was the latest military report, she even knew that this woman was not idle, so she accepted the contempt and said: "It is a great achievement for the Jiangdong Army to guard the door of the house." ”

Song Meiling looked at him puzzled: "Could it be that you work hard to make wedding clothes for others, and Jiangsu has them at your fingertips, so you don't take them?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "In the past two years, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have changed hands several times, fighting back and forth, only increasing the suffering of the people. ”

Song Meiling said: "Shanxi occupies a geographical advantage, so it can naturally divide one side, but Jiangdong is in the land of four wars, how to maintain an independent kingdom?" ”

"The best defense is offense, and I've proven that. ”

Song Meiling looked at Chen Zikun very seriously and said, "You are different from the little guy, you are a knight." ”

The two of them were talking in English as if no one was around, and in the eyes of others, it seemed that they were **, and no one would have imagined that what they were talking about was a military affair.

Song Ziwen and Chen Yi walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about, so speculative." ”
