As Cao Kun's direct army was defeated and retreated until it was driven out of the border between Zhili and Henan, there were many Anhui troops who were willing to accept the reorganization, such as Zhang Wensheng, the overseer of Anhui, Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian, etc., and the national defense army looked down on the world, and the type of overwhelming people became more and more obvious. The good war situation gave Wang Maoru great determination and motivation, and he made up his mind to inherit Yuan Shikai's legacy, truly form the squadron into a national 6th army, and continue to promote army reform and eliminate the warlord system.

Zhang Wensheng, the overseer of Anhui, announced that he was willing to accept the restructuring of the national defense force, and the Dingwu Army in Anhui warmly welcomed the restructuring, and Chen Guangyuan, the neighboring overseer of Jiangxi, also hesitated a little when he saw this.

Jiangxi Province is in an awkward position, with Fujian under Li Houji of the Anhui system to the east, Anhui of Zhang Wensheng of the Anhui system on the back, the upper Yangtze River defense area of the five brigades of Wu Guangxin of the Anhui system in the northwest, the Guangdong Revolutionary Government that has just been established in the south, and the two lakes directly related to Wu Peifu to the west. In addition, Jiangxi Province is very barren, Chen Guangyuan is basically in the middle of trying to survive, but now he is surrounded by enemies, if he has no eyes, I am afraid that he will not be far from the wilderness in the future.

Chen Guangyuan could also take advantage of Li Chun's alliance with the three governors of the Yangtze River to show off his might, but now that the Zhiwan War is over, the National Defense Army has taken the opportunity to occupy Beijing, Zhili, Henan and other places, and Duan Qirui, the boss of the Anhui system, has stated that the Anhui system will accept the reorganization of the National Defense Force, and the three governors of the Yangtze River will fall apart. Hubei was occupied by Cao Zhi, and Jiangsu was occupied by the National Defense Forces, and since then he has been isolated. Either join Cao Zhi, or accept the reorganization of the National Defense Force, or there is a possibility that he will go south to join the Guangdong Revolutionary Government. Of course, joining the government of the South inevitably involves being attacked from all sides. After all, the direct line, the Anhui line, and the National Defense Force are all still from the Beiyang family, and if they join the Southern Revolutionary Government. It's a mutiny over there, and it will definitely end badly.

The coast guard of the National Defense Force marched west along the Yangtze River, and after passing through Jiujiang in Jiangxi, they shelled the direct army of Jiujiang, and the fierce artillery sound even reached the city of Nanchang. Chen Guangyuan was frightened, feeling that he couldn't wait, if he waited any longer, he would be swallowed up sooner or later.

Just after receiving a telegram in the Overseer's Mansion that Jiangsu was reorganized into two divisions, Chen Guangyuan, the overseer of Jiangxi, immediately contacted Wang Zhanyuan, the former overseer of Hubei, who had stepped down, and asked him for advice.

Wang Zhanyuan was originally the overseer of Hubei. The five Hubei 6th Army under his command were mixed into a brigade, and if he hadn't suffered by himself, he would not have been taken advantage of by Wu Peifu. Chen Guangyuan consulted with him, obviously distrusting Cao Zhi, Wang Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Instead of cheapening Cao Zhi, it is better to follow the generalissimo Shangwu as soon as possible, and give you a good reward in the future." Look at Xiushuai's attitude, I will definitely not forget you in the future. Jiangxi will continue to be controlled by you. Who occupies the central government is not occupied, Wu Yu is stubborn and can't tolerate people, although Wang Maoru is young, he has the capacity to accommodate people. You see how he treats Yuan Dagong, it can be seen that he is nostalgic for Yuan Gong's love for him, which shows that this person values kindness and righteousness. So who is Wu Yu? There is no room for sand in the eyes. Even his brother-in-law dared to shoot, if he was with this person, wouldn't he be picked up like a grandson in the future? Wang Zhanyuan sighed: "Look at how he treats me, I treat jade like a brother, and jade treats me like a mustard." ”

Chen Guangyuan thought about it. felt that what Wang Zhanyuan said was reasonable, so he sent a telegram to express his acceptance of the reorganization of the National Defense Force. There was also an intrinsic reason for his willingness to accept integration. That is, Chen Guangyuan's harsh taxation in Jiangxi caused dissatisfaction among the people in Jiangxi, and from time to time someone secretly ran to Wuchang to assassinate him. Chen Guangyuan feared that one day he would lose his military power, and his life would be in danger without the protection of soldiers.

That is, after Zhili, Jiangsu, and Shandong, Jiangxi is also willing to accept the reorganization. After the rest of the original Anhui territory expressed its willingness to accept the reorganization, including Chen Guangyuan, there were also Zhang Wensheng in Anhui, Li Houji in Fujian, Lu Yongxiang in Zhejiang, He Fenglin in Shanghai, and even Yan Xishan in Shanxi, who had just repelled Zhang Zuolin's Northwest Army, also mixed in and said that they would accept the reorganization. It is just to say that others are willing to accept the reorganization in order to maintain military power, but this Yan Xishan is a rich man, and he will never allow others to touch his own one-third of an acre, and he proposed to accept the reorganization in order to mix and mix, muddy the waters, and make Wang Maoru's reorganization even more chaotic and difficult to succeed.

This reorganization is first of all the separation of the military and the government, the military only starts the role of protecting the territory and the people, the politicians are only allowed to govern the civil affairs, not allowed to interfere in the military, and the financial power of the local government belongs to the central government for unified allocation. Others don't know, how can Wu Peifu not know, he was furious: "Are they crazy? Crazy? Do they know what integration is? What is integration? ”

Due to limited financial resources, Wang Maoru did not immediately start the reorganization of Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanxi and other provinces, but followed Yuan Shikai's example, and still retained the original supervision management system and supervision rule. And he also knows very well that these overseers are just Ye Gong and good dragons, and they all have their own calculations and calculations.

However, Wang Maoru's financial resources hindered the reorganization plan, and he had to stabilize his finances before he could continue the reorganization.

As a traveler, although he was high-spirited in the Republic of China and was enviable at a young age, he had to bear the responsibility of saving China's destiny. No one knows better than him what a cruel fate China will suffer in the next 20 years, and no one knows that China will not become a big country with a strong country and a weak people until a hundred years later. At this time, Wang Maoru is like a marathon runner, who has just run ten kilometers and is already a little tired, but he must grit his teeth and persevere. At this time, he has replaced the high-spirited Wu Peifu during the Republic of China, and what makes him stronger than Wu Peifu is that there is no big guy Cao Kun on his head who is always worried about being overturned.

Even though the Americans supported Wang Maoru behind their backs, the British opposed his troops entering Hunan and Hubei, and he had no choice but to watch his direct family flee back to Hubei to survive.

At a time when Sir Zhu Erdian, who had served as Minister to China for 15 years, was retiring due to his age, and the new Minister to China, Sir Eston, had just arrived in Beijing, Wang Maoru immediately held a grand welcoming ceremony for Sir Eston. Edomon's mission in China this time was complicated: on the one hand, to prevent China's reunification, on the other hand, to draw China into confrontation with Japan, on the other hand, to support Wu Peifu's warlord independence, and on the other hand, to ensure the legitimate interests of the British and the interests of British merchants. Eston also looked down on China before, and when he took the boat, Wang Maoru was still a small warlord in the northeast. It had been two months since he arrived in Beijing, and the romantic Sir Eston had taken his wife on a honeymoon trip to the Mediterranean for a month, which was long overdue.

Zhu Erdian, the former ambassador to China, learned the reason for Aiston's tardiness, and was so angry that he was reluctant to say anything to Aiston, which made Sir Edon's welcome ceremony very embarrassing. Wang Maoru has no good impression of Zhu Erdian, but he is very interested in the idealist Eston, Zhu Erdian is too cunning, this old guy has been China's ambassador to China for 25 years, he knows China well, and he is too dangerous to China.

At the end of Sir Edon's welcoming ceremony, Zhu Erdian left China in anger, both dissatisfied with Wang Maoru's refusal to cooperate with him, and dissatisfied with Eston's sabotage. After returning to England, Zhu Erdian continued to serve as a member of the British Parliament and impeached Eston for his work attitude, which led to Eston being criticized by the British queen and deepened Eston's hatred for him.

At this moment, Wang Maoru hurriedly attended the wedding of Liao Zhipeng, the secretary general of the president, gave Liao Zhipeng enough noodles, and gave Liao Zhipeng a house worth 4,000 oceans as a gift. He knew that Wang Maoru was a strong person, so he just wrote a note to Wang Maoru: "Jun Yi I introspect." Wang Maoru smiled slightly after reading it and handed it to Zang Hao, but Zang Hao didn't understand, Wang Maoru patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to understand." Zang Hao was depressed, and said in his heart that his battlefield was in front, not in front of Xiushuai as a follower.

After Liao Zhipeng's wedding, Wang Maoru received an urgent telegram from Harbin that Utkin, the special envoy of the Russian female tsar, came to Changchun by train, hoping to reach a consensus with Wang Maoru on the "Harbin Treaty". Wang Maoru was very strange, wasn't the "Harbin Entente" invalid when he withdrew to China? What does this mean in Tsarist Russia? He also showed enough in Beijing, so he flew back to Changchun.

Wang Maoru left Beijing, but let the big guys in Beiyang breathe a deep sigh, when this little was there, everyone felt too depressed, maybe it was because of the strong soldiers that gave people a sense of suffocation. Before leaving, Wang Maoru ordered the 21st Division to move to Guannei and temporarily stationed in Harbin. Although the transfer of troops into the museum weakened the military strength of the Central Plains on the one hand, it also strengthened the defense forces of the north on the other hand.

Wang Maoru knew very well that if China was in danger, then the danger must come from the north, whether it was the Russians or the Japanese. If China is in chaos, the Northeast will be in chaos first, and if China is lost, the Northeast will be lost first. The Japanese are eyeing Northeast China, and now they are gradually retreating from the sanctions imposed on the British in the midst of the competition with the British. The Japanese, on the other hand, were mad dogs, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would start a war of aggression against China in advance in order to divert domestic pressure, which was why he only transferred one regiment to the Central Plains. He is not Jiang Zhongzheng, Jiang Zhongzheng's idea of shutting down outside the country must first be at home is out of the ambition of the hero, and history has proved that this view is extremely wrong, not only lost the country, but also lost the hearts of the people. Because of this, Wang Maoru has a big knife on the outside, a small knife on the inside, a thunderous blow on the outside, and a small knife deep into the bone on the inside. To be continued.
