----------------------------

For his son or daughter, Chen Jingyun himself does not make much difference, all he cares about is whether Dong Bai's family is safe and whether the child is safe, so after he knew that the mother and son were safe, the joy on his face obviously appeared.

But Bai Chunlin on the side was not only concerned about the safety of his sister, but also more concerned about whether the child he gave birth to was a boy or a girl, so he even rushed in front of Chen Jingyun and asked the doctor with expectation: "Is it a boy or a girl?" ā€

The doctor didn't buy it, but replied directly: "It's a boy!" ā€

"Boy? It's true? After hearing the news, Bai Chunlin was even happier than Chen Jingyun, and even couldn't help but think of the scene of waiting for his nephew to grow up slowly, and then being selected by Chen Jingyun as his successor, which would be of great benefit to himself and the entire Bai family. He could even imagine the pomp and circumstance of the Bai family when it became the top family in China.

Regarding Bai Chunlin's fantasy, Chen Jingyun didn't have the heart to take care of it, he stepped forward and said, "Is it okay inside?" ā€

The doctor replied, "Don't worry, nothing has happened, Madame is now very tired and has fallen asleep, and Dr. Smit is doing the aftermath work inside!" ā€

Chen Jingyun nodded: "That's good, that's good!" ā€

After learning that the mother and son were safe, the entire Chen Mansion was spread with festive colors, and Yu Shifeng on the side also stepped forward to congratulate at that time: "Congratulations to the handsome man!" ā€

Chen Jingyun also nodded with a smile: "Joy, joy!" Well, I told everyone to toss all night, so go to bed early! By the way, send a telegram to Fuzhou and tell your mother the good news! ā€

Although he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yu because of Dong Bai's affairs, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between mother and son, it did not reach the point of not getting along with each other in old age, and Chen Jingyun sometimes took the initiative to greet Chen Yu in order to maintain his apparent filial piety. He knew that Chen Yu's family was extremely concerned about the issue of his offspring, and he was also extremely concerned about the child in Dong Bai's womb, otherwise he would not have sent those old mothers over, and he also brought the doctor with him, and he still had to inform her of the news as soon as possible.

"My subordinates understand! Later, I will send someone to the telegraph office overnight, and the old lady will know early in the morning! Yu Shifeng said so, but at this time, his mind was also a little confused. Now that Dong Bai has given birth to a son, then it is Chen Jingyun's eldest son, although this news can make Chen Jingyun and Chen Yu happy, but the lady over there in Nanjing is afraid that she will not be happy.

As the director of Chen Jingyun's secretariat, he and Chen Cai are the people with the closest personal relationship with Chen Jingyun in the national army system, and he basically knows all kinds of dirty things about Chen Jingyun, and even participates in them, so he also knows about Chen Jingyun's private affairs, the source of Dong Bai's identity, and even the conflict with Chen Yu's before and after.

This time, I'm afraid that there will be another turmoil in the marshal's inner house! I hope that a few ladies and old ladies don't get the sin on him, he has already experienced it for a while, after Lin Yun learned that Chen Jingyun raised a Dong Bai clan outside, although he didn't dare to say anything to Chen Jingyun, but he beat the few people who followed Chen Jingyun all day long, especially Chen Cai, who secretly arranged a private meeting between the two, was not looked at by Lin Yun for a while, and even Yu Shifeng, the secretary general, was affected. This time, he was reluctant to get involved in Chen Jingyun's inner house affairs.

Chen Jingyun waited outside for another half an hour, and Dr. Smit walked out with a tired face, Dong Bai's birth was certainly tired, but as the midwife's chief doctor, he couldn't easily get there, it was already a tired whole day.

As soon as he came out, Chen Jingyun walked up: "Doctor Mister, this time thanks to you!" ā€

Dr. Mister is a Scotsman in his 40s, and although his medical skills are not the top priority today, he is also one of the best Western doctors in China, especially in internal medicine. When Chen Jingyun wanted to establish a new hospital in Fuzhou, he hired a number of foreign doctors with high salaries, and Dr. Smit also jumped from a hospital in Shanghai to Fuzhou New Hospital as the director of internal medicine, and later Chen Jingyun invited him to be his personal doctor. Because of Chen Jingyun's identity and the high salary offered, he was also moved, so he followed Chen Jingyun and became his personal doctor.

And with the increase in Chen Jingyun's power, he has now become the two major political giants in China, which is also a good thing for Dr. Smit, after all, he is the personal doctor of the leader of a country, which is enough for him to brag in front of his peers. Compared with his previous status, he is much better now, and at the same time, Chen Jingyun and Chen Jingyun's family are not sick every day, and he has a lot of free time, so he also hung up the name of the president of Nanjing New Hospital and devoted himself to studying medical skills. In the past year, Chen Jingyun's wife Lin Yun and Dong Bai's outer room have been pregnant, and he has focused his research on midwifery and fetal protection, and even discussed caesarean section with a number of skilled surgeons to prevent dystocia, this time Dong Bai's was about to give birth, he went from Nanjing to Shanghai in advance, and invited two doctors who have already had experience in caesarean section to come together to prepare a set of alternate caesarean section plan, but now the risk of caesarean section is too high, even after the operation is successful, Most pregnant women also die from postoperative infections, and the mortality rate is absolutely more than half, so it is best not to do without it. Fortunately, although it was almost difficult to give birth, Dong Bai's survived after all, and the mother and child were safe, which made the surgical caesarean section plan prepared by Dr. Smit useless.

After talking to Dr. Smit a few more times, seeing that his face showed obvious exhaustion, Chen Jingyun did not leave him, so he let him go to rest first.

Then Chen Jingyun walked into the room and saw that Dong Baishi in the room was asleep, and a nurse next to him was holding a child. Chen Jingyun walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and stroked Dong Bai's hand, didn't speak, just looked at it. After a while, he turned to look at the child, now the child is asleep like his mother, Chen Jingyun didn't dare to reach out to hug directly, he has never held a baby for most of his life, and he heard that holding a child is a lot of exquisite, and if you are not careful, you will hurt the child, so he just resisted the impulse in his heart, and then looked down at the child's face, well, the nose is a little small, the mouth is also very small, the ears are also very small, and the half-exposed little hand is even smaller, as if a slight touch will hurt him.

At this time, a nurse in her thirties said lightly: "Do you want to hug him?" ā€

Chen Jingyun hesitated in his heart, and then asked, "How do you hold this?" ā€

The nurse obviously saw Chen Jingyun's nervousness, and then softly explained a few words of precautions to Chen Jingyun, and then held the child in his arms, the sleeping child seemed to feel the change, at this time suddenly opened his eyes, the small black eyes did not have any impurities, the eyeballs looked motionless, and they did not blink for a long time.

Chen Jingyun looked at the child in his arms and smiled lightly: "Hey, see clearly, I'm your father!" ā€

The next time in Fuzhou, the sky was not still bright, Chen Yu's got up early, yesterday she received a telegram saying that Dong Bai's in Shanghai was going to give birth, although she didn't have a good impression of that Dong Bai's, and even once thought that she was the culprit who caused the breakdown of the relationship between herself and her son Chen Jingyun, but her stomach always came to the Chen family's flesh and blood, so it caused a very strange occasion, Chen Yu's had no good impression of Dong Bai's, but she had great expectations for the child in her belly, In the past three days, he sent all kinds of precious tonic medicines to Shanghai, not for Dong Bai's family, but for the unborn child.

After getting Dong Bai's birth yesterday, she was also rarely nervous, and recited the Buddha in the Buddhist hall for a whole day, but there was no news during the day, and there was still no news until more than ten o'clock in the evening.

"It's already been a day and a night, and I should have been born last night, so there's no news yet!" Chen Yu muttered in his heart, and then asked an old woman next to him: "Ah Cui, who is waiting in the telegraph room?" ā€

Ah Cui on the side is only slightly younger than Dong Bai's age, but she was the maid she brought from her mother's house back then, and immediately said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The old lady can rest assured that the telegraph room is my family's three boys, and she will come back as soon as there is news!" ā€

Not long after he finished saying this, a family member in his twenties trotted in from the courtyard gate in the distance, and then walked quickly in front of Chen Yu's side: "Old lady, there is news from Shanghai!" ā€

"Oh, finally the news!" Chen Yu's face was happy.

The third son of Ah Cui immediately unfolded the telegram in his hand: "Old lady, please look, this is the telegram I just got, it says that the third lady has given birth safely at noon last night, and the mother and child are safe!" ā€

"Really?" Chen Yushi took the telegram, and then looked at it carefully, the telegram was not long, and Chen Yushi naturally read it at a glance. "Good! It's a boy, my old Chen family has a descendant! Chen Yu's face was full of joy: "It's not in vain that I treat her well, and it really made a great contribution to my Chen family!" ā€

Chen Yu's family naturally forgot that she didn't let Dong Bai's family go back to Fuzhou in the first place!

Nanjing's Lin Yun knew the news was not too late, she knew the news just after breakfast, but although she was a little uncomfortable, she didn't lose her temper or anything, but Luo Li hid in the room after knowing the news and scolded a few words like a fox, and then cried sadly, Dong Bai and Lin Yun were pregnant successively, but she was not pregnant until now, she was not pregnant with Chen Jingyun for more than two years, but she has been with Chen Jingyun for more than two years. Since Lin Yun became pregnant, she has been by Chen Jingyun's side most nights, but she just didn't get pregnant. She herself has quietly seen the doctor and taken a lot of medicines, but it just didn't work, which made her helpless and sad at the same time.

The reactions of these people in the house are not what Chen Jingyun cares about, now he is by Dong Bai's side, holding a small bowl of porridge in his hand, Dong Bai's is still lying on the bed, although his face is still pale, but the whole person looks much better than last night, which makes Chen Jingyun feel a lot more relieved, and Dr. Mister also said: "As long as you rest for a while, you can return to normal!" ā€

Chen Jingyun fed Dong Bai's one bite at a time, Dong Bai's ate in small bites, and only after half a day did he eat a bowl of porridge.

After putting down the bowl, Chen Jingyun walked to the other side of the bed, looked at the sleeping child next to Dong Bai's, and said, "What do you say is a good name for him?" ā€

Dong Bai looked at Chen Jingyun and touched the child's face with his fingers, and also smiled, Chen Jingyun's appearance was the first time she saw it, among Chen Jingyun's several women, she was the most favored one, Chen Jingyun had never been too pretentious when she was by Chen Jingyun's side, but today this is the first time she has seen it, is this what her father looks like.

Seeing that Dong Bai didn't answer, Chen Jingyun raised his head: "What name do you want to give him?" ā€

Dong Baishi replied at this time: "Didn't you think of a name?" ā€

Chen Jingyun smiled: "I thought about a few before, but I felt that it was not good, and after thinking about it, I still let you decide!" ā€

Dong Baishi pondered for a moment and said: "In the Chen family, your generation is a respectful generation, and the next generation is a Chinese generation. Do you think it's good to take a heavenly character? ā€

"Chen Huatian" Chen Jingyun silently recited this name in his heart, this is a very ordinary name, and it sounds smooth.

This will Dong Bai said: "I hope he can become a man like you when he grows up!" ā€

"Well, that's the name!" Chen Jingyun once again turned his gaze back to the face of the child beside Dong Bai's side: "Chen Huatian, this is your name!" ā€

When Chen Jingyun accompanied Dong Bai and his newborn son in Shanghai, the domestic situation did not stop because of Chen Jingyun's private internal affairs, but became more and more intense.

After seizing Yizhang, an important transportation artery in southern Hunan, the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Nationalist Army immediately moved north, and finally arrived at the city of Chenzhou, Hunan on 25 July, and at this time, the 10th Division of the Nationalist Army from Ganzhou also arrived, and after the two divisions combined, they quickly launched an attack on Chenzhou.

Two days earlier, Lu Rongting's Fifth Army had captured Yongzhou in southwestern Hunan, and then the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Hengyang and all the way to Shaoyang.

Tang Jiyao's Seventh Army had also occupied Huaihua in the western part of Hunan, and then marched eastward.

In this way, in the southern and southwestern regions of Hunan, there are respectively the First Mixed Brigade of the Nationalist Army, the Tenth Division of the Nationalist Army, the two divisions of the Fifth Army of the Gui Army, and two brigades, and two divisions of Tang Jiyao's Seventh Army, and the total strength of this part has reached more than 60,000 people. Originally, it was only two divisions of Hunan Province that were responsible for the defense of the southern and southwestern parts of Hunan Province, and they were scattered in Chenzhou, Yongzhou, and Huaihua in Hunan, as well as in Shaoyang and Hengyang. As Yongzhou and Huaihua fell into the hands of the Gui and Dian armies, the two defeated Hunan Provincial Army retreated to the Hengyang and Shaoyang areas. Fortunately, before the war, Yang Shande had already sent the 7th Brigade of the 4th Division south to Hengyang, preparing to reinforce the Hunan Provincial Army there.

However, the Hunan Provincial Army, which was insufficient and too scattered, could not resist the southern coalition army that was several times its own, and the 5,000 defenders of Chenzhou only held for less than three days, and they had already shown signs of collapse, and Yang Shande was not a pedantic person, and soon ordered the sixth brigade of Chuzhou to retreat northward, and he was ready to gather his forces and rely on Hengyang to block the southern coalition army in the south.

The situation in the southern part of Hunan was critical, but Yang Shande did not dare to continue to draw the main force from Changsha and Xiangtan to reinforce it. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare.

Among the southern coalition forces attacking southern Hunan, the only ones that could really be valued by Yang Shande were the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 10th Division of the National Army, and the rest of the Gui Army and the Dian Army were not taken into his eyes, even if there were tens of thousands of troops, it was not to be feared. Because he thought that even Shaoyang was lost, but Hengyang could be defended. As long as he can hold it for a month or two, after he defeats the Nationalist troops from Pingxiang in Jiangxi Province in Changsha and Xiangtan, then he will be able to send the main force south to reinforce it.

In view of the many battles between the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army, although the senior generals within the Beiyang Army were uncomfortable, they also recognized the reality clearly, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army was not much weaker than that of the Beiyang Army. If you really fight, it is impossible to win as easily as the local troops in other provinces.

For this reason, Yang Shande's strategy was almost always arranged according to the advance of the Nationalist Army, and he had already preliminarily discovered that it was only a brigade under Lin Chengkun of the Fourth Army of the Nationalist Army that attacked from Pingxiang. This point of strength is far weaker than the 1st division and 1st brigade attacking from the south, Yang Shande is planning to defeat this mixed brigade of the national army in the north first, and then mobilize the main force to go south to Hengyang for reinforcements, and then fight to the death with the 10th division and the 1st mixed brigade of the national army.

When the war in Hunan was boiling, the Sixth Army under Tang Jiyao was also fighting in Sichuan, due to the end of the confrontation with the Gui Army, Tang Jiyao transferred a large number of troops and materials from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to reinforce the Sixth Army, and also attracted several local small Sichuan warlords, and then launched a new large-scale campaign in Sichuan with a sweeping situation, and the Sichuan warlords who were supported by Yuan Shikai launched several large-scale battles, with many casualties on both sides, although the Sixth Army has won a lot of territory, However, due to the considerable damage, especially the large consumption of weapons and ammunition, Chen Jingyun had to ask for help again, wanting the Generalissimo of Nanjing to give some weapons and ammunition support.

Chen Jingyun didn't think about it for too long, but sent him some guns and ammunition, although the number was not much, but it could also slightly alleviate the predicament of the Yunnan army.

Great wars broke out in Hunan and Sichuan one after another, while the southern Jiangsu region was still maintaining a general calm under the tense situation, and both the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army were mobilizing troops on a large scale at this time, and the direction of mobilizing troops was in the Anhui region, and by the end of July, the Ninth Division, the Eighth Division, the Fifth Division, and the Fifth Mixed Brigade under the Nationalist Army had completed their initial assembly in Wuhu. At the same time, the headquarters of the Third Army has also arrived in Shanghai, and the Third and Eleventh Divisions have arrived in Shanghai by sea several times. After these two armies of the Third Army did not arrive, they quickly switched guards with the First and Fourth Divisions of the First Army, with the Third Division stationed in Taizhou and the Eleventh Division stationed in Shanghai. The 1st and 4th Divisions were preparing to be mobilized to the Wuhu area as the second echelon to cross the river and attack Anhui.

Naturally, the large-scale troop mobilization between the two sides was not carried out openly, but in secret, and the troop mobilization of the Nationalist Army took a detour in order to avoid Beiyang reconnaissance. At the same time, the Nationalist Air Force also stepped up air patrols, and Wu Shizhong replaced the captain of the 2nd Combat Squadron of the 1st Wing with Huang Feihang, and at the same time urgently transferred the D5A fighters that had just left the Fuzhou Aircraft Factory and added them to the 7th Combat Squadron, making the number of D5A fighters a lot more.

Subsequently, the Air Force also achieved a lot of successes, and even achieved the record of shooting down three Beiyang Army planes within two consecutive days. As a result, the reconnaissance activities of the Beiyang Army Air Force were greatly reduced, and the Air Force was in a joint operations meeting, and finally it would not be pointed at and scolded by Chen Yi's army generals.
