Volume III Aftermath 145 passes slightly southwest

"Is this credible? What kind of personality is he, the most indulgent, letting his own temperament and not caring about others. So don't promise him. At least in three or five years, we must not let him know Guangdong, let alone give him the opportunity to get involved in the Guangdong army, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future. Refusing him now is just a verbal affair, and if we let him come back, it will be a war of arms, and then our efforts will be in vain. ”

Stuart Meden cut the railway. In his opinion, Sun Wen ignored Guangdong's poor finances and was bent on the Northern Expedition, which was nothing but destruction and destruction. The so-called Three People's Principles, even he himself shouted slogans, and never seriously implemented them.

Situ Meiden's stern warning made Chen Jiongming have to pay attention. Although Situ Meiden does not have outstanding financial management skills, his deputy Wu Chaoshu became the vice minister of finance after giving up his lawyer's office, and he has a group of financial advisers of Meihua Company, and under the planning of those professionals, he is gradually rectifying Guangdong's financial system.

For the Guangdong-Guizhou War, the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company spent nearly 15 million on the Guangdong army. 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 Britain and the United States, etc., all of which are contributed by the American and Chinese companies behind the scenes.

After moving to Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming carried out a large-scale clean-up of the government, replacing his own men in the armed systems such as the army and public security, while key departments such as finance, taxation, and transportation fell into the hands of the Zhi Gong Dang and the Meihua Company, and carved up the Guangdong regime with one article and one force.

After more than ten years of exploitation by the Beiyang and Guizhou departments, Guangdong's finances were only an empty shell, and Chen Jiongming had no money, so he could only rely on the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company. Use the strong economic strength and financial management ability of Meihua Company to tide over the difficulties.

The matter of Sun Wen's return to Guangdong is related to the situation in Guangdong Province in the future, and it is a matter of great importance, and Chen Jiongming is not easy to be arbitrary. At the insistence of Situ Meideng, he pushed the boat down the river and decided to ignore Sun Wen and concentrate on building a model province in Guangdong.

As for the voices opposing Sun Wen's return to Guangdong, they were shouted by the enthusiastic parliamentarians in the province.

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

Among the fugitives from the Gui family, there is a special unit. He is the Li Zongren Department entrenched in Xinhui, and in the war, Li Zongren's Department watched from the wall.

After Lu Rongting's defeat, the old Gui department returned to Guangxi one after another, and Li Zongren intercepted and collected the stragglers halfway, and was very busy, and the number soon swelled to about 4,000 people.

The reason why Li Zongren had the audacity to incorporate the old Gui department in Xinhui was because he had the support of the Zhi Gong Party. Under Situ Meideng's arrangement, under Situ Meideng's arrangement, the Guangdong army handed over more than 5,000 prisoners of the Mingui army to Li Zongren's department, along with a large number of weapons. The Cantonese army, which was busy taking over power in various places, selectively ignored the "remnants" of this Gui army.

In this regard, Chen Jiongming acquiesced, but asked Li Zongren to leave Guangdong as much as possible. With this rich "dowry", Li Zongren returned to Guangxi in style and quickly took over the Guangxi regime.

Because Lu Rongting had emptied the Gui army, Guangxi, which was empty of troops, was like a ripe persimmon to Li Zongren?????, who had a heavy army.

With Chen Jiongming's entry into Guangzhou, his descendants successively occupied the rich Pearl River Delta. It is not suitable for the Fifth Division of the Second Army of the Guangdong Army to continue to entrench itself in Guangzhou.

A 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 jubilant, the Fifth Division quietly left the Guangzhou garrison and embarked on the journey of conquest again.

Guangzhou Huangpu Wharf, it's dusk again. The desertion caused by the war was busy again, and a passenger liner was moored in the harbor, which was the ship of the Southern Star Steamship Company that had come to transport the Fifth Division.

"Ah Yong, I want to have a drink with you. I didn't expect you guys to leave so soon. Zhang Fakui looked at the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division who were busy boarding the ship, and said regretfully to Situ Yong beside him. In the battle of storming Guangzhou, the two hit it off at first sight and had the same temper, and at this moment, seeing that Situ Yong was leaving, Zhang Fakui was a little reluctant.

"If you don't leave, you'll be abandoned. Besides, we still have a task, unlike you who can live in Guangzhou with peace of mind. Situ Yong said with a smile.

Zhang Fakui was a student of Chen Jiongming when he was teaching in the army primary school, and he had the friendship of teachers and students, so he was highly used. Situ Yong admired Zhang Fakui's bravery, and when he landed in Guangzhou, Zhang Fakui rushed to Guangzhou City with the "soft-footed crabs" of the Fourth Division with a little news, and fought side by side with the Fifth Division to liberate Guangzhou. Parting at this moment, cherishing each other.

"Alright! I'm gone, and you'll have good news from us in a few days. Situ Yong said excitedly. After saying that, he saluted, turned around and got on the boat.

In the Guangdong-Yunnan army and the Gui faction lost in the struggle for power in Guangzhou, although in response to Sun Wen's call, in the city of Guangzhou for a few days, but unfortunately a few days later, Lu Rongting was attacked.

After Chen Jiongming returned to Guangzhou, he completely disbanded the Yunnan army in Guangdong. However, the cunning and shrewd Tang Jiyao still maintained a strong army in Yunnan, and his foundation was not injured, so he hurried back to Yunnan, ready to take advantage of the emptiness of Guangxi to make a profit.

Tang Jiyao was about to move, sent troops to attack Gui, and pointed to Nanning. Halfway through, it suddenly came that the Cantonese army had landed from Fangcheng! After a two-day sea journey, Zhang Chengdong led the Fifth Division to land at Fangchenggang in the Beibu Gulf and occupy Fangcheng without bloodshed.

Tang Jiyao was extremely shocked and didn't know what to do for a while. For the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army, which had just defeated the elite Mo Rongxin of the Gui Department in Shantou within one day, Tang Jiyao was very jealous. Now that Leng Bu appeared under his nose from Guangzhou, thousands of miles away, where would he dare to attack Nanning?

It is absolutely impossible to fight against the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army, which has strong soldiers, in case of losing, Tang Jiyao's last bit of capital will be gone, and he will not even have a place to cry at that time.

It's just that, and the fight is in vain. Tang Jiyao finally had to sigh three times and withdraw! He decisively abandoned his attempt at Guangxi and retreated to Yunnan.

Due to the defeat of the elite of the Gui family in Lu Rongting's expedition to Guangdong, the Gui army stationed in Nanning was old, weak, sick and disabled, and was caught off guard by the Fifth Division that rushed from the sea, so they had to disarm and surrender.

The Fifth Division once again crossed the sea to completely destroy the rule of the Gui system in Guangxi, and at this time, Li Zongren's army, which 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.

Regarding Tang Jiyao's small actions in Yunnan, Zhang Chengdong wanted to give the other party an unforgettable lesson, but unfortunately Tang Jiyao's actions escaped too quickly, which made a group of belligerent soldiers very regretful. 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, which allowed Li Zongren to calmly absorb the old Gui department and reorganize the Guangxi regime.

Li Zongren rose to prominence in this Guangdong-Guizhou War, and seemed to have jumped from a small regimental commander to the new leader of the Gui army. In order to prevent Li Zongren from becoming dominant, the Fifth Division continued to be stationed in Nanning to suppress the Guangxi army, the Zhi Gong Party also implemented inter-provincial autonomy in Guangxi, the Meihua Company controlled Guangxi's finances, and Ma Junwu, a member of the Zhi Gong Party (who joined the Zhi Gong Party under the persuasion of Situ Meideng), became the governor of Guangxi, and Li Zongren became the commander of Guangxi, forming a three-legged trend.

When Xinhui recruited the remnants of the Gui Army, Li Zongren incorporated the model battalion that Lu Rongting had painstakingly cultivated, and the battalion commander Huang Shaohong defected to Li Zongren and became Li Zongren's right-hand man.

Li and Huang became the leaders of the Xingui faction, while the other giant, Xiao Zhuge Bai Chongxi, was captured in Shantou and incorporated into the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army.

The Fifth Division broke into a part and invaded the Leizhou Peninsula, occupying Hepu, Leizhou, and Gaozhou together with the US-China Security Corps, connecting western Guangdong and Guangxi, and also encircling Guangzhou Bay.

The French were nervous, and from time to time they would send warships out to give themselves a damper at sea.

Zhang Chengdong ignored the French and continued to control western Guangdong according to the original plan. In order to cope with the shortage of troops, the Fifth Division was divided and merged with the Meihua Security Regiment to form the Sixth Division of the Guangdong Army, and at the same time selected young and strong soldiers from the original Gui Army prisoners.

German Staff Adviser Max? Bauer served as the division commander, and Situ Yong, who had been trained before, was promoted to the commander of the first regiment of the sixth division. Bai Chongxi was selected by Situ Yong at a glance and became a battalion commander of the new Sixth Division. According to the plan, after the Sixth Division was repaired, it crossed the sea and landed in Hainan.

At this time, the rule of the Gui family on the mainland collapsed, and was uprooted by Li Zongren and Zhang Chengdong, and the Gui army entrenched on Hainan Island was like a helpless child, and the people were panicked.

Hainan is poor and weak, and the ammunition and materials have to be supplied to the mainland, and seeing that the Sixth Division of the Guangdong Army of the Guangdong Army on the opposite side is full of troops and horses, and it will come at any time, He Fuchang, the commander of the Gui Army Regiment in Qiongya, pondered whether to surrender.

In November 1920, the typhoon season had passed. The Qiongzhou Strait was rarely calm, and the Sixth Division of Situ Yong landed from Lingao Bopu, and the Gui Army was caught off guard, and had to surrender in the face of the surging advantage of the Sixth Division of the Guangdong Army. Under Situ Yong's order, Bai Chongxi led his army into Sanya, established political power in the local area, and began Xiao Zhuge to watch the sea for several years.

At this point, Hainan Island fell into the hands of the Zhi Gong Dang and the Meihua Company, and the Qiaoxing Company, which had been operating on the island for a long time, was already familiar with the situation on the island, cooperated with the Sixth Division to take over the Hainan political power, and at the same time transferred a large number of assets such as salt farms, banks, forestry farms, and fishing grounds into its own hands.

The 5th and 6th Divisions of the Guangdong Army swept through western Guangdong and Hainan, and related enterprises such as Meihua Company, Meihua Bank, Acorn International Company, Li's Tin Company, Qianyi Company, and Nanhua Grain Bank were stationed in the local area to control the local economic lifeline.

Objectively speaking, the economy of western Guangdong has been backward for a long time, and it is far from the rich Pearl River Delta region, and it belongs to a dispensable category on the territory of Guangdong, and has never been the center of gravity of Guangdong.

Chen Jiongming, the head of the Zhi Gong Party, is beyond the reach of the whip on the one hand, and secretly happy to see it on the other hand. In particular, after he was afraid that the Fifth Division would take the initiative to leave Guangzhou, he could rest assured that he would be able to put the rich Pearl River Delta region in order and fulfill his long-cherished wish -- the autonomy of the United Provinces.
