Shijiè The trend of various countries is changing, the trend of the Republic of China is also changing, the biggest change is the national financial system, the large-scale strong promotion of the yuan, the ban on silver dollar transactions, the ban on other currency transactions make the people a little uncomfortable, but let the country's economy accelerate the rise. In the first three months of the 10th year of the Republic of China, the national economy began to recover gradually, except for the five provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi, which were stagnant economically due to the war, the other provinces gradually recovered their vitality. After last year's Great Han Dynasty, at the beginning of spring this year, heavy rains fell in northern China, and China, which has suffered many disasters, is facing disaster again.

Sun Liwen was in the rain in the north, and the "" novel chapter that arrived in Beijing in the north was updated the fastest. Originally, the Hu Han people (Note 4) Jianyì Sun Liwen had to be grand and grand when he went north, but this time it was Wang Maoru's cooperation with Sun Wen, bypassing President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng, so once Ruguo was openly exposed, it would lead to the destruction of the negotiations. After comprehensive consideration, Sun Liwen secretly went north with only four henchmen, namely Hu Hanren, general staff member and political director of the Army Command, Wang Zhaoming, adviser to the Guangdong government, Jiang Weiguang, director of the Operations Section, and Lin Xiumei, Sun Liwen's chief of guard.

In fact, among the four people of Hu Hanren, Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Weiguang and Lin Xiumei, Ruguo is ranked last according to the trust ranking, Jiang Weiguang is undoubtedly ranked last, and he is not even as valued as Sun Liwen's chief of guard, Lin Xiumei.

After listening to Zhang Kuian's advice, Jiang Weiguang's heart also became lively, Ruguo Sun Liwen accepted the conditions of cooperation with Wang Maoru, where will these military personnel go? It's better to plan ahead. Sun Liwen remained in Guangzhou with Liao Zhongkai, a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang Party, who was responsible for taking over the work of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government in an all-round way. What they are worried about is that the contradiction with Chen Jiongming is getting deeper and deeper. Eventually, it will lead to a military conflict, but the KMT Méiyou army can only rely on fooling others to help the KMT fight. Once the warlord betrayed. The Kuomintang had to flee in the wilderness, just like Sun Liwen repeatedly went to Shanghai and Japan to take refuge.

Zhang Kuian and méiyou went north with Sun Liwen and his party, and after persuading Sun Liwen to move north to spy with Wang Maoru, he stayed behind and continued to carry out the task of wooing. He hoped that Nénggou and Chen Jiongming would have a detailed discussion again and say that Chen Jiongming would support national reunification.

Chen Jiongming was a pure soldier whom Wang Maoru admired, and he advocated inter-provincial autonomy, that is, the formation of the federal government of China following the example of the US federal system. Committed to peaceful reunification. Chen Jiongming was a man who did not like the party army, so although Sun Liwen trusted him very much, he handed over all the troops to him. He also appointed Chen Jiongming as Commander of the Guangdong Army and Minister of the Army of the Southern Revolutionary Government. However, the contradiction between Chen Jiongming and Sun Liwen is also getting deeper and deeper, that is, Sun Liwen is the very big president, and he also insists on opposing it, and protests by not attending Sun Liwen's inauguration ceremony.

It stands to reason that Sun Liwen's character is concerned. Chen Jiong, who doesn't give face, should have been kicked out a long time ago. However, Chen Jiongming's nearly 20,000 Cantonese troops were also the reason why the Kuomintang did not dare to turn against them.

In charge of receiving Zhang Kuian, Chen Jiongming's confidant chief of staff Deng Keng and deputy chief of staff Li Jishen, Deng Keng was a strict person, cold and warm-hearted, and the Guangdong army was established thanks to this person, and his status in the Guangdong army was no less than that of Chen Jiongming. Deng Keng saw Zhang Kuian and said, "Mr. Dingguo, Commander Chen is negotiating with British businessmen, how about I take you to visit the Cantonese military camp?" ”

Zhang Kuian smiled: "That's what I mean. ”

The Cantonese army overcame Guangdong with all one breath, but the Cantonese army was not strong. There is a shortage of ammunition and ordnance, and there is a shortage of military salaries and food. Therefore, although Zhang Kuian saw the most elite first division of the Guangdong army, he still saw a group of soldiers wearing patches, holding old rifles, and it was not even possible to guarantee the uniform model of guns for the soldiers of a company. Even the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division, the most elite of the Cantonese Army, was mostly equipped with weapons supported by the Wehrmacht. The commander of the regiment, Deng Yanda, graduated from the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and was an officer of the northern faction. In order to show Zhang Kuian the strongest Cantonese army, Deng Yanda asked the soldiers to show them shooting, marching, stabbing and military appearance.

It's just that after Zhang Kuian and others watched the performance of the elite soldiers of the Guangdong Army, Xia Ming, the chief of the guard, said something in Zhang Kuian's ear, Zhang Kuian smiled, and the officer of the Guangdong Army over there said angrily: "Why are you laughing?" My elite Cantonese army can't be described as a tiger? ”

However, the Mandarin of the Cantonese army officers stumped Zhang Kuian and other northerners present, some people said that the sky is not afraid of the earth, and they are afraid that the Cantonese will be Mandarin, but the "Tiger Ben Scholar" did not hear clearly, Zhang Kuian heard the death of "Humeng's death" and was startled, because the Northeast dialect describes people "Tiger" means that this person is stupid, Zhang Kuian scratched his head and said how he scolded Ziji's subordinates are stupid?

Xia Ming is a native of Shaanxi, Shaanxi people have a straightforward personality and are dull and don't like to speak, and once he speaks, he is absolutely straightforward, plus he is young and vigorous, and his temper is also anxious, so he showed a disdainful expression and attitude and said: "Lu Lian, on jingshén, on equipment, on logistics, on fighting, the Guangdong army is not as good as the national defense army." ”

Deng Yanda was unconvinced: "Then compare with each other, where is the Guangdong army inferior?" ”

Zhang Kuian smiled: "Although I am not in the army, my chief of guard has been in the army, let him come and say." At this time, a young soldier wearing a national defense army uniform beside Zhang Kuian saluted a military salute and said: "I am Minister Zhang's chief of guard, Xia Ming, a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, graduated from the Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer College, and served in the army for two years, so I will briefly introduce the differences between the Guangdong Army and the National Defense Army that I have seen." Let's talk about training first, the training of the Wehrmacht is accurate to the minute and second, and Sergeant Qingchu sees what kind of training he is responsible for in Shimeshijiān in a month. But I just asked the soldiers, and the soldiers don't even know tomorrow's training plan, yes or no? ”

Deng Yanda's face turned slightly red and embarrassed, and Li Jishen said: "Indeed, I heard that the Wehrmacht was born out of the German Army and the Japanese Army? ”

Xia Ming said: "At the beginning of the establishment of the National Defense Force, all the codes of conduct and training plans were all formulated by Xiushuai himself, and the training models and methods were original to Xiushuai. In the later period, the German instructors and Japanese instructors only tinkered with the training syllabus of Xiushuai, so it is completely absurd to say that the Wehrmacht was born out of the German and Japanese armies. Let's talk about jingshén, who is fighting for whom and why are our soldiers fighting from officers to soldiers, the future of the Wehrmacht is shime-like, where are the Wehrmacht soldiers buried after their deaths, who will pay their respects, and Ziji's parents are supported by méiyou. However, even the officers in the Guangdong army are very few, and the jingshén theory of the noble army is the Three People's Doctrine, ruguo, everyone does not believe it, I can order an officer at will, and see if he can understand the shime called the Three People's Doctrine. Xia Ming looked at the Cantonese army officers with a disdainful smile, and several Cantonese army officers suddenly blushed with anger, eager to roll up their sleeves and beat him.

Zhang Kuian originally asked Xia Ming to analyze a little and frustrate the spirit of Deng Keng and the others, but he didn't expect Xia Ming, the chief of the guard, to be so stubborn, and directly said that the Yue army was useless, and quickly interrupted his speech, and said with a smile: "Even under such unfavorable circumstances, the Yue army can still defeat the Gui army with a weak victory, which is a commendable move." The officer of the Cantonese Army turned slightly pale at this time, and it was meaningless to continue to visit the Cantonese Army, just as the secretary reported that the British businessmen had left, Chen Jiongming was about to meet Zhang Kuian, Deng Keng turned to smile and said: "Mr. Dingguo, Commander Chen is invited." ”

Everyone seemed to be talking and laughing and walked towards Chen Jiongming's living room, Yun Lishan patted Xia Ming's shoulder on the side, and laughed quietly: "Little fellow, you really deserve to be our Shaanxi baby, you are ruthless enough." Xia Ming sighed, his temper was so upright, it really cost him his life to let him speak tactfully.

The British businessman Chen met with was Charles. Reidman, general manager of Guangzhou, the largest British foreign company in China, the largest share of British sales in China is arms, the British sell arms with one hand and opium with the other, opium is sold to the Chinese people, and arms are sold to the Chinese people. Chen Jiongming secretly instructed the taxes from all parts of Guangdong to be handed over to the military, and led the Kuomintang to have no soldiers and no money, but Chen Jiongming was carrying a small treasury. However, his small treasury is not reserved for Ziji, the army, disaster relief in various parts of Guangdong, all need this small treasury to take out money. The main reason why Chen Jiongming intercepted taxes was that he did not support Sun Yat-sen's Northern Expedition, and he hoped that the money of the Cantonese people would be spent on the construction of Guangdong, and he did not want the Northern Expedition that Méiyou wanted.

Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, Northern Yijing Unification, Why Northern Expedition? Relying on the strength of Guangdong Province and the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, the huge national defense force, Chen Jiongming beat his hometown to pieces and contributed to the Northern Expedition of Laoshzi.

In fact, Chen Jiongming's own contribution to Guangdong Province far exceeded that of the Kuomintang Party, which was in charge of the people of Guangdong, and spent the resources of a province on the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition protects the Dharma and then the Northern Expedition, and the people of Guangdong Province get half of the benefits, but they are getting poorer and poorer. Later, after the Zhejiang people dominated the People's Party, they rejected and cracked down on officials from the Cantonese family, and Guangdong Province also received the development of people's livelihood and civil affairs. On the contrary, in the short four years that Chen Jiongming, a native of Guangdong, presided over Guangdong, he made great contributions to Guangdong Province, stabilized the economy, unified the administration, established a modern police system, repaired roads to build people's livelihood, and established a number of primary and secondary schools in various parts of Guangdong.

This time, Chen Jiongming did business with the British, which was to prepare to further arm the army, at least the weapons and ammunition of the army soldiers should be replenished. Guangdong's arsenal can only simply repair the ordnance, and because it is in the hands of the Kuomintang, it has made a mistake to Chen Jiong.

This is the second time Zhang Kuian has met Chen Jiongming, the last time the two sides reached a shime agreement, they simply climbed up to Guānxi, this time Zhang Kuian sincerely wanted to talk to Chen Jiongming about the reorganization.

Note 4: Hu Hanren is the original elder of the People's Party, one of Sun Liwen's think tanks, and Wang Zhaoming Guānxi is very good, but because of his support for Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Weiguang was overpowered in the later period (to be continued. )
