After Lin Changming personally served as the president of Southeast University, he began to contact the U.S. Consul in Fuzhou to discuss specific matters, such as how many professors the United States can provide, and how much funding the United States can provide. After all, it costs a lot of money to run a university, although Chen Jingyun himself has some money now, but these are all needed to maintain the development of the national army and fight wars, and he will have to talk about it later, so if it is tens of thousands of yuan, it is easy to say, but Chen Jingyun will definitely not be out if there is more.

Lin Changming couldn't get much money from Chen Jingyun, on the one hand, he persuaded Faler to ask for money from the United States, and on the other hand, he also planned to unite the gentry and wealthy people in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces who were interested in running schools to donate money.

People who are interested in running a school in these years are generally of good moral character, but they dare to donate all their net worth for the sake of their posthumous name. After discussing it, these people felt that if they wanted to set up such a comprehensive surname university, it would be better to combine several large-scale normal schools in Zhejiang, so that the foundation of teachers and students would be much better.

As a result, a Southeast University aimed at integrating higher education in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces is almost completed, but it has to be said that in order to facilitate the running of the school and use the education funds allocated by the Zhejiang military and political axe, the address of the Southeast University did not choose Fuzhou, but chose Hangzhou.

Chen Jingyun doesn't care about this, for him, for the National Army, there is no difference between the two military and political axes of Fujian and Zhejiang, they can only manage internal affairs, and as long as this university is built in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, it will be his Chen Jingyun's university.

When Chen Jingyun was busy with medicine, setting up various R&D departments and laboratories, and wanting to set up a Southeast University, the domestic situation has not calmed down.

On October 6, the 3rd Division of the Nationalist Army engaged in a fierce battle with Long Jiguang's troops near Xujia Village in Guangzhou, and then the 2nd Regiment of the Guard Division suddenly came in from the flank and completely defeated the front of Long Jiguang's headquarters, which caused a chain reaction at once. Then the 2nd Regiment of the Guards Division and the 31st and 32nd Regiments of the 3rd Division joined together to defeat Long Jiguang's main force in Baishi Town, and also surrounded and eliminated a regiment of the enemy.

Long Jiguang didn't have time to scold, so he hurriedly gathered the remnants of the army to organize the second line of defense, but at this time, traces of the Gui army appeared behind Long Jiguang, and there was a large-scale exchange of fire between the Gui army and Long Jiguang's troops.

Faced with a flank attack from the east and west, Long Jiguang could not go to heaven or enter the ground, so he could only organize troops to enter the city of Guangzhou to resist stubbornly.

However, at this time, Shen Gang sent a big gift to Long Jiguang, and let go of a small opening on the southeast line, although Long Jiguang didn't know why Shen Gang did this, but it would be a death to continue to stay in Guangzhou City, and even if he was ambushed, it would be a death to rush out, and it would be better to rush out and talk about it, so Long Jiguang simply brought more than 10,000 remnants to break through from the southeast.

The reason why Shen Gang did this was not his intention, but the instructions from Fuzhou, to be precise, Chen Jingyun's instructions, this is a very important reason is that if Long Jiguang continues to resist, it will take a lot of time to clean up and destroy Long Jiguang's troops one by one in the city, and the casualties will be very large, which is not what Chen Jingyun wants to see.

In addition, now the Gui army has arrived on the edge of Guangzhou, and has occupied the western part of Guangdong. If Long Jiguang is eliminated, then it can be expected that the National Army and the Gui Army will have a certain conflict, although Chen Jingyun did not know that Yuan Shikai was already wooing Lu Rongting, but in order to plan for the future, Chen Jingyun still arranged a first move.

If Long Jiguang is released, as long as Long Jiguang does not occupy Guangzhou, then there will not be much threat to the national army, but if Long Jiguang is put in western Guangdong, such as Zhanjiang and other places, then it will be a big trouble for Lu Rongting in Guangxi.

Although Chen Jingyun didn't know what Yuan Shikai and Lu Rongting were thinking, he had always been very steady, and when he invited Lu Rongting to come to Guangdong, he had already prevented this kind of thing from happening today, and it was not in the interests of the Nationalist Army to completely destroy Long Jiguang, and it was in the interests of the Nationalist Army to drive Long Jiguang to western Guangdong, or even to Guangxi.

Based on this thought, Chen Jingyun secretly instructed Shen Gang to let Long Jiguang live, and this Long Jiguang was like a mourning dog, with more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers, he was not qualified to consider what Chen Jingyun's intention was, he could only obediently follow the path left by Chen Jingyun.

"Division, now Long Jiguang's troops have almost gone, and now our troops have completely controlled Guangzhou City!" Yu Shaoying said: "Look, can you report to Fuzhou!" ”

Shen Gang nodded and said: "This good news is naturally to be written, rest assured, everyone is even fighting hard, I will remember this credit, and I will not miss any of it!" As he spoke, Shen Gang glanced at the many regimental and battalion generals below, so many days of fighting had indeed exhausted these people, especially the battalion commanders of the few battalions below, who had not had a good rest for several days!

And so many days of hard fighting is not today, so although they are tired, these generals are also crying and happy, some people have already calculated that they should be able to rise in rank after this battle, and some people are thinking that it will be difficult to climb up in the original unit of the third division, but it is not said that the eighth division and the ninth division should be built, and it should not be a long problem to be a regiment commander when the time comes.

And this Long Jiguang is embarrassed, the military uniform on his body is stained with dust, and his face is dirty, let's say it, even if he was beaten with more than 20,000 people, only more than 10,000 people remained, and he was driven out of Guangzhou City by the National Army, but how to say it, he still has more than 10,000 people, and it is impossible to make such a mess. But he Long Jiguang was unlucky, when he withdrew from the city, his headquarters was discovered by the national army somehow, and then it didn't take long for the cannonball to smash over, which still made Long Jiguang, who had been with soldiers for many years, really experience the shelling for the first time, and fell again when he fled for his life in embarrassment, so it became like this.

However, Long Jiguang is not a person with a habit of cleanliness, he is dirty on his body, it doesn't matter, he is more concerned about his troops now, looking at the soldiers who are all dejected when they walk by, Long Jiguang is still in the mood to care about whether the military uniform on his body is dirty or not.

"Have you gathered it all up and counted it up?" Long Jiguang asked the adjutant,

The adjutant was also dirty, and his face was full of haggard expression: "From last night's breakthrough to now, we have gathered about 8,000 people, but the number has been completely disrupted!" And all the baggage and heavy weapons are lost! ”

Long Jiguang naturally knew these things, since the main force outside Guangzhou City was defeated by the Nationalist Army two days ago, the back road was cut off by the Gui Army, originally thought that he could only resist in Guangzhou City, but he found that there was a hole in the southeast direction to escape, at that time he didn't think about it in a hurry, anyway, staying in Guangzhou City will be a death sooner or later, it is better to escape. He didn't know that this opening was deliberately set aside by Shen Gang, and he was still scared when he broke through. As for the shelling of his headquarters, it was a complete accident.

Long Jiguang didn't bother to take care of it, and said directly: "Take the map!" "Although it is said that he broke through from the city of Guangzhou, but now he wants to go there Long Jiguang is also at a loss.

I looked at the map many times, and then the officers under my hands also talked nonsense, some said that they wanted to go directly to the east, copy the back road of the national army, as soon as they heard this suggestion, Long Jiguang directly raised his foot and kicked the man over, the east is so easy to go, if such a large group of people want to go to eastern Guangdong, they can hide it from the national army, and when the national army reacts, not to mention the rest, as soon as the third division is pressed, he will die. As for continuing east into Fujian, forget it, don't look for death, it's the base camp of the National Army, with a guard division and a fifth division, as well as a large number of garrison regiments and recruits.

Some people also say that they want to go to northern Guangdong, such as Zhaoqing, where the terrain is dangerous and it is not a big problem to defend it in the future, but Zhaoqing is close to Hunan, and in the future, it will face the Guangxi Gui Army, the National Army, and Hunan's tripartite attack, and sooner or later it will be a dead end.

Long Jiguang thought about it for a long time before he determined the direction of the future: "Let's go to western Guangdong!" ”

This place in western Guangdong has always been under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong military and political axe, and then the Gui army went east by the way and also accepted some cities and counties, but the rule of the Gui army in western Guangdong is extremely weak, so that Long Jiguang can also have an opportunity to go to western Guangdong, if it is well managed, and at the same time far away from Guangzhou, there may not be no possibility of a comeback.

If it really doesn't work, he Long Jiguang also thought of the last way to retreat, that is, to simply go to Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island.

Based on this idea, Long Jiguang's troops quickly bypassed the Gui Army and the Nationalist Army, and then rushed all the way to the west of Guangdong.

As soon as Long Jiguang left, the Nationalist Army quickly completely controlled the city of Guangzhou, but at this time, the Gui army had also arrived outside the city of Guangzhou, although the two are still in an alliance relationship now, and there is no conflict for the time being, but if it goes on for a long time, trouble will happen sooner or later. Therefore, Shen Gang made an appointment to meet with the leader of the Gui army this time, and finally the two sides agreed to form a temporary alliance to clear out the remaining rebels and bandits and maintain law and order in Guangdong. Moreover, in order to avoid the outbreak of military conflict, the Gui army took the initiative to retreat fifty miles back and did not set foot in the city of Guangzhou.

After taking control of Guangzhou City, Chen Jingyun immediately issued a telegram, saying that the rebellion in Guangzhou City had been put down. At this time, Hu Hanmin, who had been hiding in the Shamian Concession for more than half a month, also stood up, originally wanting to continue to serve as the governor of Guangdong, but at that time Gui Jun strongly opposed it, although Chen Jingyun had the heart to support him, but public opinion in society generally did not have a good impression of Hu Hanmin, and some wealthy businessmen and gentry in Guangzhou published an open letter in the newspaper, demanding that Hu Hanmin and Chen Jiongming get out of Guangdong.
