When the queen faced Chiang Kai-shek's question, Zhuang Jihua's answer was to follow the plan.

Zhuang Jihua explained his plan in detail: "First, gather troops and supplies to Dongjiang with great fanfare, and send a small group of troops to harass Fujian, forcing Sun Chuanfang to move south, risk losing Zhejiang and the Yongfu ship; after the momentum was caused, the Grand Marshal's Office came forward to ask Fujian to return the Yongfu ship and release the captured personnel. At the same time, the main force secretly moved towards Wuhua and Xingning. After Yang Ximin's rebellion was exposed, he immediately returned to Guangzhou and extinguished the rebellion with lightning speed."

"Although Sun Chuanfang could not command Yangshuzhuang, the fleet of Yangshuzhuang was stationed in Fujian after all, and had close ties with Fujian. Without touching Sun Chuanfang's fundamental interests, Sun Chuanfang could tolerate Yangshuzhuang obeying Duan Rui's orders and using Fujian to harass Guangdong. However, if this harassment reaches the point of triggering a war between Fujian and Guangdong, especially when the pressure of the Fengtian clan is increasing, will Sun Chuanfang still be willing? I think the conclusion is certain, so he will inevitably force Yangshuzhuang to make a gentle attitude, such as releasing the Yongfu ship and the captured personnel, which will achieve our goal."

Before meeting Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua was wondering if Chiang Kai-shek had a solution, otherwise why Chiang Kai-shek arrived two days later? When the Meixian Qing Army Association learned to fight with Sun Wenzhi, Chiang Kai-shek rushed back to Meixian almost immediately after learning about the situation.

Sure enough, after listening to his analysis, Chiang Kai-shek smiled with satisfaction. Zhuang Jihua's countermeasures were very close to what he wanted. Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's smile, Zhuang Jihua felt that he had guessed it. He said tentatively:

"This is a simple point of view of the student, for the principal's reference."

"It is beyond my expectations that you can think of this. Cultural Revolution. You did not disappoint my expectations, but I still have to test you. How to put pressure on Fujian? How to do it in detail?" Zhuang Jihua's performance was beyond his expectations. In his heart, he became more and more satisfied with Zhuang Jihua. When he received a telegram from Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua only proposed an analysis of the incident and did not provide a response strategy. The response strategy he came up with after discussing with Director Zhou and others. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jihua's response strategy was similar to theirs.

"The students thought they could launch a small-scale attack in the direction of Yongding and Longyan, and the Songbai Pass could go out to the south to test it in the direction of Xiazhai." Zhuang Jihua really didn't think about what to do, so he thought about it before he proposed the plan.

"Well, what if our attack is frustrated? You should know that the enemies in this area not only have Zhou Yinren's troops, but also Hong Zhaolin's troops are also quite strong, and the enemy forces are strong." Chiang Kai-shek quietly denied Zhuang Jihua's suggestions.

Zhuang Jihua admitted that Chiang Kai-shek was right, and lowered his head and thought to the meeting and said: "Then you can only attack Shanghang from Jiaoling Dam in the direction."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head slightly: "It's still too unrestrained. Don't just think about your own strength. You must know that once our troops are sent out, no matter how many, Duan Rui has achieved his goal."

Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's words, Zhuang Jihua suddenly thought of the battle for hegemony in the past life of the United States and the Soviet Union. The two sides basically did not fight directly, but fought through agents. It seemed that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to put pressure on Sun Chuanfang through other forces. Zhuang Jihua's brain teasers were working quickly, thinking about what powers could be borrowed. After measuring the forces around him, he remembered the Fujian Civilian Army that Xu Chongzhi once mentioned.

"Does the principal mean to rely on the power of the Fujian Civil Army?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, we sent troops to Fujian, the scale is difficult to control. It's okay if we win. If we lose, it will encourage Zhou Yinren and Chen Jiongming's ambitions. Supporting the civilian army to do not only can help us hold up a group of people who support us. It can also make the other party feel that the civilian army is our pioneer, and this will also achieve the goal of threatening Fujian."

It is impossible not to say that Chiang Kai-shek's countermeasures are even more brilliant, killing two birds with one stone, or even killing three birds with one stone. However, Zhuang Jihua immediately thought of why Chiang Kai-shek said this to him and wanted to show his cleverness in front of him. Zhuang Jihua was suspicious, but he said a classic line in an admirable tone: "The principal is wise."

Chiang Kai-shek felt a little proud. Indeed, he said this to Zhuang Jihua just to show off in front of Zhuang Jihua, but this idea was not entirely his, but the result of discussion. After receiving the analysis of Zhuang Jihua, he convened his subordinates to discuss. At the meeting, he agreed with Zhuang Jihua's judgment, but had differences on how many troops he sent to attack Fujian. No matter how many of them were, it was inappropriate. Finally, Director Zhou suggested whether he could think of a solution on the Fujian Civilian Army. This suggestion opened up everyone's thinking. After a discussion, he came up with such a plan that was best of both worlds.

However, in general, Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with Zhuang Jihua's work. Not only did he find Xu Chongzhi's weaknesses, but he made smooth progress in the work of Xu's ministry, but he also handled such emergencies very appropriately.

However, Zhuang Jihua saw a hidden danger in this matter, that is, the lack of intelligence. If it were not for newspaper reports, he would have no way to find Sun Chuanfang's intelligence. It extends to Jiangxi, Wuhan, and the north in the future, and there was no shortage of timely intelligence; the entire intelligence system has not been established yet, at least not in the school army, and from the Yongfu ship incident, the Grand Marshal's Office also has no professional intelligence system. In the long run, it is the top priority to establish an intelligence system.

When Zhuang Jihua thought of this, his face was a little anxious. Chiang Kai-shek immediately noticed: "What are you thinking about in the Cultural Revolution?"

"Students are thinking about the Intelligence Department. The Yongfu Ship incident once again reminds the importance of intelligence. The students' inference this time are based on the news in the newspaper. There is no definite intelligence, especially about Sun Chuanfang's intelligence. The principal must immediately start to establish an intelligence system in Jiangnan."

"Well, yes, do you have any specific ideas?" Chiang Kai-shek agreed with Zhuang Jihua's view.

"The key is that people can enter the upper class of Zhejiang. But students don't know much about people in this area, and although they have ideas, they have nowhere to use them."

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Chiang Kai-shek also felt that this problem was difficult to solve. He was also considering this issue. He wanted to seek someone's opinions, but this person is still in Shanghai.

"It's okay if you don't hurry. The principal handed me such a serious person.

No, wouldn’t you be ashamed of the trust of the principal? It would be great if Junshan was there, there were more people than me.” Zhuang Jihua patted Chiang Kai-shek’s flattery.

"Ha, you're pleading for He Zhonghan for a long time." Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "Okay, I'll transfer him here and serve as an assistant to you, and you can also make meritorious service."

—

"Yes, thank you for the principal." Chiang Kai-shek believed that Zhuang Jihua was considering his friendship with He Zhonghan at this time, so he pleaded for He Zhonghan. In fact, Zhuang Jihua wanted He Zhonghan to come, but there were deeper reasons.

The Yongfu ship was robbed and shocked the Grand Marshal's Office. Hu Hanmin issued a telegram asking Beijing Duan Rui to order Yangshuzhuang to return the robbed warships and personnel equipment to maintain the anti-direct alliance advocated by the first Prime Minister. However, Xu Chongzhi and Chiang Kai-shek, who were in Dongjiang, sent a murderous telegram to the Fujian governor Zhou Yinren. All the robbed equipment and personnel were immediately returned, otherwise the Eastern Expedition Army would come to Fujian to retrieve it themselves.

At the end of 4, Xu Chongzhi convened the Fujian Civilian Army Song Yuanyuan, Zhang Zhen and others to convene the Fujian Revolutionary Army Alliance Conference. Song Yuanyuan, Zhang Zhen and other civilian generals expressed their compliance with the orders of the Guangzhou Marshal's Office and continued to fight against rebellion in the east.

After the meeting, Xu Chongzhi proposed to act as Grand Marshal Hu Hanmin to increase the transfer of troops. The Gui Army, Hunan Army, and the First Division of the Guangdong Army arrived in Dongjiang, and at the same time allocated 100 military expenses and 300 ammunitions. At the same time, Fang Shengtao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Army. Song Yuanyuan's troops were in southern Fujian and Zhang Zhen's troops increased their activities in northwestern Fujian. The Second Division of the Army defeated the troops of the Fujian Army Lai Shihuang in Dapu, and Wang Ruozhou's troops were in Baisong Pass. He was ready to attack Fujian at any time.

The border war between Fujian and Guangdong was densely covered with clouds, and the Guangdong army was in a hurry. Zhou Yinren sent several telegrams to Hangzhou a day, urging Sun Chuanfang to transfer the two Fujian army divisions transferred to Hangzhou back to Fujian. After receiving the telegram, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but scold Zhou Yinren for not understanding the truth. Zhejiang faced increasing pressure on the local Fengtian faction. He was transferred back to Fujian. What should he do if Zhejiang was transferred back? The three Fujians could not catch up with Zhejiang.

But Fujian could not be lost without any last resort. Sun Chuanfang was a little worried. Since General Wu's defeat, the power of the Zhili clan has declined. He thought that after abandoning Qi Yuan, the Fengtian clan should be satisfied. Although he signed a peace agreement with them, is the agreement useful these days? He abides by the agreement and withdraws from Shanghai, but the Fengtian clan has no place to move at all. It seems that the Fengtian clan has no intention of stopping and must reorganize the army and prepare for war.

What Sun Chuanfang didn't understand was that from the previous news, Guangzhou's purpose was to destroy Chen Jiongming and recover Dongjiang; there was no plan to attack Fujian with the victory. Now things are beginning to change. All of this is a damn sea-raising ship, so he sent Zhou Yinren telegram asking him to tell Yangshuzhuang to return the Yongfu ship to Guangdong, otherwise they would let them leave Fujian; and also told Chen Jiongming to let his army restrain itself, and now is not the time to cause trouble.

After receiving the telegram, Zhou Yinren did not dare to disobey Sun Chuanfang's orders, but he did not have the strength to control Yangshuzhuang in Xiamen and Chen Jiongming in Fujian-Guangdong border.

In a room at the Queen's Hotel in Hong Kong, Duan Rui's representative Li Yanguo was smoking a cigar and said in a proud tone:

"Commander Yang, the governing government has imagined it very thoughtfully for you. Now there is only the Gui army left around Guangzhou. As long as the two of them raise the banner of righteousness in Guangzhou, they will definitely succeed." Then he lowered his voice and said, "The governing government agreed to appoint Commander Yang as the supervisor of Guangdong Military Affairs afterwards; Commander Liu is the supervisor of Guangxi Military Affairs and the governor of Guangxi. Commander Yang has no doubts now."

Yang Ximin touched the two beards on his lips, his eyes filled with contempt, and said in a disdainful tone: "There is no problem raising the flag, there is no need to make such a big noise. I have 30,000 troops in my hand. Humph, Grand Marshal's Mansion, I admit that he is the Grand Marshal's Mansion, I don't admit that it is just a ball. Brother Li, I can trust Duan Zhuzheng, but what about Grand Marshal Tang? If he doesn't admit it, will I be busy without the ball?"

Li Yanguo did not care about Yang Ximin's rudeness. He had been dealing with warlords over the years and knew the habits of these warlords very well. However, he did not agree with Yang Ximin's arrogance. The force controlled by the Grand Marshal's Office was not weak, especially the Huangpu School Army. It is said that this was a new force, which was built by Sun Wenxue's Soviet army. Before the war started, no one took this force into his eyes. However, surprisingly, it was this force that defeated the Chen family army that dominated Lingnan for eight years. When he met Chen Jiongming in Xiamen, he also met Hong Zhaolin. Although Hong Zhaolin was still so arrogant, he keenly paid attention to his loss, and his subordinates were still frightened when they mentioned the student army.

As for Yang Ximin's contempt for Duan Rui, he disagreed. It seems that Yang Ximin is just a martial artist, who does not understand the mystery of politics at all, and is not enough to accomplish great things. Thinking of this, he showed a slight contempt on his face, but he immediately realized that it was inappropriate, so he quickly sprayed out a cigar and covered his expression with the lingering smoke: "If the commander doesn't believe it, Commander Tang's representative will arrive tomorrow, and Commander Yang can ask him in person."

"Okay, as long as Tang Shuai doesn't object, I'll do this deal."

"But Commander Liu didn't come. What does he mean?" Li Yanguo bounced the cigar on the ashtray. He liked to do this very much. This was learned from former President Xu Shichang, but he always felt that he lacked something and never had the kind of demeanor of others.

"Brother, don't worry, Commander Liu and I are brothers wearing shorts. My words are his words, and his words are mine."

"That's good, but Commander Yang, Jingcun's request, you see...?"

"It's nothing. Dongjiang is his. Just give it back to him. I only want Guangzhou, Xijiang, Beijiang; Xianchen only needs Guangxi and Guangdong, he doesn't want any inch of territory."

"Okay," Li Yanguo put down the cigar, opened the wine kitchen, took out the bottle of red wine, pried open the bottle plug, poured half a cup into two cups, and then picked up a cup: "Commander Yang, I wish you success first."

Ding, when the two cups met together, Li Yanguo was filled with joy, but he did not expect that the trip to Hong Kong would be so smooth; as long as Yang Ximin started a rebellion in Guangzhou, whether it was successful or not, his first mission would be completed. The rest is to go to Guangzhou to see this city that has been redundant.
Chapter completed!
