Chapter 4 Nanjing
The trip to Guangdong, especially the signing of the tripartite alliance agreement between Guangdong, Guizhou and Xue, was a rare opportunity for both Ouyang Yun and Xuebing. This means that the cadet has truly become a warlord from a military collective.
At this time, if you compare the situation in China with the situation of the late Han Dynasty, you will find that there are many similarities between the two. Lao Jiang is like Cao Cao who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, while Chen Jitang is a bit like Yuan Shao, and as for the Gui family and Han Fuqu and other powerful forces, they are like Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others.
In Dongshan, Fujian Province in December, the weather was refreshing and pleasant, Ouyang Yun, Chen Jitang, Li and Bai stood on a huge seaside reef under the sanitation of many guards.
Adjacent to Chaozhou in Guangdong, Dongshan County is made up of 33 islands, 143 nautical miles from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and only 210 nautical miles from Hong Kong. After thoroughly figuring out the geographical location of Dongshan, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but be a little worried, once the Cadet Division and the little devils started fighting in North China, how would Dongshan County face the threat from the sea and the air? Taiwan is too close to Dongshan, and the little devils are currently the hegemon of the Pacific Ocean, and they have aircraft carriers, so it seems too easy to strike at the little Dongshan. The reason why Chen Jitang agreed to his conditions so generously is probably because of this.
"Ouyang, your mood doesn't look high?" Seeing Ouyang Yun frowning, Li Zongren said.
With a wry smile, Ouyang Yun said: "The distance between Dongshan and Taiwan is too close, and the little devil has strong ships and guns, and there are even aircraft carriers. As long as there is a war, Dongshan will definitely not be able to hold out for a day. When the time comes, where will I put the seeds? How can you make my emotions high in such a situation? β
Chen Jitang said: "It's true that the little devil ship is strong and sharp, and our Guangdong army is not vegetarian. Ouyang, since we have formed an alliance, you can rest assured that our Guangdong army will definitely not sit back and watch Dongshan fall. β
Bai Chongxi said: "Yes, the original intention of our alliance is to resist Japan, if we can't even keep our own territory, then what qualifications do we have to talk about it." Although rest assured, although we in Guangxi are a little far away from Dongshan, if the Japanese really dare to send troops to Dongshan, our Gui army will definitely not stand idly by. β
Li Zongren said: "Of our three systems, only the Guangdong army has a navy, and it is not possible to attack at sea, so it should not be a problem to defend on the shore. Although the Japanese have aircraft carriers, the number of aircraft is also limited, and it should not be a problem for us to defend them alone. β
Chen Jitang: "When it comes to aircraft carriers, I have always wanted to buy one, but unfortunately, the technology of aircraft carriers is in the hands of the European and American powers, and Japan has always been eyeing us and China, and it is impossible to sell it to us......
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Ouyang Yun was moved when he heard it. From the perspective of future generations, the current aircraft carrier technology is not mysterious, but it costs a lot of money, and there are many requirements for some special technical personnel, so although he had a plan to build an aircraft early on, he never thought of building an aircraft carrier. He looked at Chen Jitang and said, "Commander-in-Chief Chen, you're not joking, are you?" The cost of aircraft carriers is not comparable to that of ordinary ships. Moreover, plus the aircraft and auxiliary ships, this cost ......" He shook his head without finishing his words.
Chen Jitang didn't know if Lu Dao was provoked by his words, or if he really had this intention, so he replied loudly: "I know that the cost of the Lu Dao aircraft carrier is extremely high, but as long as it can be beneficial to the Japanese cause, I will not hesitate to go bankrupt." Ouyang, listen to what you mean, can you get an aircraft carrier? β
His words were impassioned and awe-inspiring, Li, Bai, and Ouyang listened to it, but they didn't have any expressions, Ouyang Yun said: "I am not ten percent sure, but you can give it a try." β
Chen Jitang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little excited. He was about to ask for some details, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, Ouyang Yun's body flickered, and he fell headlong!
"There are assassins!" Chen Jitang was startled, and shouted loudly while looking towards the gunshot: "Guard, guard!" Li Zongren was closer to Ouyang Yun, and at this time he squatted down to carefully look for the wound, and Bai Chongxi also began to command his subordinates to come to protect and arrest the murderer.
Bai Tassel and Liu Zheliang quickly surrounded them with a few wolf tooth warriors. There were few of them, and they didn't dare to divert to hunt down the murderer, and they were even more afraid that this murderer was sent by Chen, Li, and Bai, so seeing that Ouyang Yun's life and death were unknown, they rushed up to protect him as soon as possible.
Due to the protection of the body armor, Ouyang Yun was naturally fine, seeing that Li Zongren was searching for wounds for himself and ripped off the military uniform on his chest, he smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief Li, don't worry, I'm fine." With that, he sat up.
Li Zongren was taken aback, he obviously saw the bullet hit him in the chest, but how could he be safe?
Seeing that Ouyang Yun was fine, everyone present was relieved, and at the same time, except for the white tassels, the eyes of the others looking at him were full of surprise.
The Assassin had been discovered, a young man with a body of water. He obviously came from the waterway, and when he shot him, he hid behind a reef that was only more than sixty meters away from the huge reef where Ouyang Yun and the others were standing. When a shot hit the target, he was conceited and thought the mission had been accomplished, so he threw the gun into the sea and jumped down.
More than 30 guards of the two armies of Guangdong and Guizhou fired at the water where he escaped, but they did not even catch a single fish, so they had no choice but to search for symbolism on the beach.
This assassination was obviously premeditated, and seeing that Ouyang Yun had nothing to do, the hanging hearts of Bai Tassel and the others fell into their stomachs. Bai Tassel ordered the wolf-toothed warriors to surround Ouyang Yun and them, and Liu Zheliang said to Li Zongren: "Commander-in-Chief Li, our division is invulnerable. β
Rumors about Ouyang Yun's invulnerability had long spread all over the country with the name of the "Anti-Japanese Twin Heroes", but how could a wise man like Li Zongren easily believe this strange theory. Now listening to Liu Zheliang's house, a few people know that the rumors are true, Chen Jitang believes these things the most, and he called out at that time and said: "Ouyang, are you really invulnerable?" Any tips? Li and Bai looked at Ouyang Yun with a curious expression.
Blaming Liu Zheliang for talking too much in his heart, Ouyang Yun glared at him and said with a smile: "What's the secret, it's just luck, just now I happened to turn sideways, and the bullet flew past my chest." As he spoke, he also tore off the clothes that were torn by Li Zongren and showed them them.
His explanation was a bit far-fetched, and Chen Jitang was skeptical because he didn't witness it with his own eyes. Li Zongren witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, knowing that he didn't turn around, the bullet really hit his chest, and he looked at him suspiciously, Li Zongren didn't expose it on the spot, changed the topic and said angrily: "Who is so bold to come up with such a despicable means." If something really happens to Ouyang, then we won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! β
Bai Chongxi sneered and said, "Who else can there be, it must be someone from the Nanjing faction." Hmph, he's the last person you want to see us form an alliance with. β
Chen Jitang said hatefully: "Lao Bai is right, it seems that I have to let my subordinates strengthen their vigilance during this time." β
The original plan of several people was to go to Dongshan County to have a look again, and Chen Jitang came forward to ask the county magistrate and security commander of Dongshan County to come out and have a look with Ouyang Yun. Now that this kind of thing has happened, the commander of the guard battalion under Chen Jitang feels that Dongshan is not safe anymore and suggests returning where he is.
Three days later, Ouyang Yun and his entourage, accompanied by Hu Hanmin and Xiang Hanping, who were representatives of the Guangdong government and businessmen, left Guangzhou and embarked on the journey back to their hometowns. They were followed by a reinforced battalion of the advance force of the Cantonese army, who would go to Chahar to accept the exchange of soldiers and divisions from the middle school in the agreement to the Cantonese army in North China.
Because of the unexpected situation encountered on the beach in Dongshan County, Bai Tassel and Liu Zheliang were particularly careful along the way, no matter where Ouyang Yun went, there were at least two wolf tooth warriors walking with him, even if they went to the toilet, they would follow him one after the other, so that Ouyang Yun, who was free and easy by nature, was tired of it, and almost went crazy several times.
"I'm urinating, you go outside and wait."
"The owner, the white shopkeeper has explained, we must not leave you one step."
"It's a toilet and there's no one in it."
"Just in case, we have to stick to our posts."
"Die!"
"Boss, you shot me, and I want to keep you safe......"
"Okay, okay, let's go back, I can't pee!"
In front of others, he took out the guy to open the gate and release the water, Ouyang Yun really couldn't do it. So there was a later plot, and he got up again just after returning to his seat before his butt touched his seat.
White tassel: "Boss, why are you going?" β
Ouyang Yun's face was gloomy: "Pee!" β
Hu Hanmin was surprised and asked, "Didn't you already go there just now?" β
Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes: "I didn't pull it out just now, it's okay, right?" β
Hu Hanmin: "Ah! Xiang Hanping: "........." white tassel: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Huang, you follow." β
Ouyang Yun was paralyzed on the ground, almost tearful and satisfied: "Miss, please spare me, in front of them, I am really, really ......"
"Poof!" Hu Hanmin couldn't help laughing. The white tassel is crying and laughing.
Fortunately, the passenger flow on the train at this time was scarce, and there would be no difficulty in the future generations, so with Xiao Zhang or Xiao Huang as the leader, Ouyang Yun was sandwiched in the middle, and the three of them went to the toilet again. However, Ouyang Yun's luck was not good this time, and by the time he got there, the toilet had already been occupied. So, a few minutes later, Bai Tassel and the others waited left and right for Ouyang Yun and them to come back, and they were anxious to go over to take a look, but they only stood up and heard Ouyang Yun's scream: "Oh my God! I'm going to leakβ"
