..or...

Bai Wenmo and Li Liejun were originally the governors of Anhui and Jiangxi. They fled to Japan with Sun Yat-sen because of their second failure. So after releasing the wanted order and being appointed as the governors of Anhui and Jiangxi, they set off for both places to serve. Dozens of retired Japanese army officers were also set off with them. [This chapter is provided by... for you]

The first mission of Bai Wenmo and Li Liejun was to convene the old subordinates who were disbanded in the second ** in the two places. The same was true for Huang Xing, who was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu and Chen Qimei, who was appointed as the governor of the Shanghai Army again.

After all, in this special era, nothing is better for guns, especially Sun Yat-sen and others. Although they have not yet understood the truth and reputation of "policy comes from guns", they have also deeply realized that without sufficient military power, nothing can be done...

Fortunately, although all the troops belonging to the Kuomintang were disbanded during the second period, because the Kuomintang and social forces later announced that the Kuomintang had been announced, except for Lei Zhenchun's unit of the 7th Division of the Beiyang Army, who was stationed in Jiangsu to continue to be responsible for suppressing the Kuomintang's defeated troops, almost all the remaining Beiyang Army rushed to the Hubei battlefield. Therefore, after the defeat, except for the heavy losses of the Jiangsu defeated troops, the defeated troops in Anhui and Jiangxi did not suffer any losses after the defeat.

There is also Shanghai. Because Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East, the situation there is quite complicated, so after the Shanghai army was defeated, the Beiyang Army had no choice but to deal with these defeated troops. Moreover, Chen Qimei was not leading any regular troops at the time, and many of them were even just lower-ranking figures with guns. Such figures hid for a while after the defeat, and the Beiyang Army entering Shanghai had no choice but to deal with them.

So after the Kuomintang was established again, in addition to Huang Xing's troubles in convening his old subordinates, Bai Wenmo, Li Liejun and Chen Qimei all successfully summoned many old subordinates.

Of course, these "old subordinates" were already a group of miscellaneous cards before they became the defeated generals, and after becoming the "remnants", their combat effectiveness was even more unoptimistic.

So after Bai Wenmo and others gathered the four infantry divisions, they gave these people to the group of Japanese officers who came with them, hoping that they could come up with some ways to make these defeated troops more useful.

Those Japanese officers were not polite. After all, their purpose in coming to China was to train a "useable" army for the Kuomintang. However, the old weapons supported by the Japanese were still on the way at this time, and only these Japanese officers and funds returned with Sun Yat-sen and others. Fortunately, these defeated troops had some weapons, although they were only Martini, old máo, and even Hanyang made few, but it would be enough if it was just used for training. Anyway, it would not take much time for the Japanese to transport the arms to Shanghai and Nanjing. Of course, there was no need to think about artillery, after all, the Japanese were very nervous, so after plundering the arsenal, they only supported some of them with friendly support. Many of them were the Krupp-made seven-and-a-half-half-pound field cannons seized by the Japanese from the Qing army in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. It was also considered that the items returned to the original owner?

——————————

At the headquarters of the Kuomintang and also in the Jiangsu Governor's Office, Sun Yat-sen faced Huang Xingdao, who had just walked in and was pouring water with a teapot.

"Keqiang, how did the old subordinates gather?"

Although the two had a great conflict over the second failure, after the Kuomintang was established again, due to the continuous development of the matter, the relationship between the two people became much better.

In this case, Liao Zhongkai and Jiang Zhiqing and others who have joined Sun Yat-sen are naturally happy to see each other. After all, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing are both banner figures of the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang. Even if these two figures fall, they will bring endless losses to the Kuomintang.

Hearing Sun Yat-sen's question, Huang Xing smiled bitterly after taking a sip of tea.

"The situation is not optimistic. After the defeat, many troops were defeated in the countryside. Later, although the Beiyang Army's attention was attracted by Yan Guang's uprising, the Lei Zhenchun troops who were left behind were constantly clearing out the defeated defeated soldiers, and..." When he said this, Huang Xing hesitated for a moment. "I always feel that the people of Nanjing do not seem to welcome us very much..."

That's right, this is how he felt when he went outside to summon his old subordinates.

Whenever Huang Xing took people outside, he could always see the repulsive and complicated eyes in the eyes of the people...

But when he heard this, Sun Yat-sen, who was sitting in the seat, was stunned. *Reader: No ads, full text, fast update*

"How could it be? Keqiang, it's not that you weren't wrong."

That’s right, after all, Jiangsu is one of the provinces with the strongest atmosphere in China. Later, the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang established their careers in Nanjing, and Nanjing became the foundation of the Kuomintang, but...

"Today, the Kuomintang reappears. I'm afraid Nanjing will fight again soon..."

Looking at the Kuomintang headquarters not far away, a middle-aged man dressed as a teacher said to his companion next to him with such a wry smile.

As one of the provinces with the strongest atmosphere, the people of Nanjing naturally had a deep affection for the Kuomintang, but after the second visit, this simple favoritism began to become complicated.

You should know that before the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party showed its power, Yuan Shikai always regarded the Kuomintang as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his heart. Now Yuan Shikai invited the Kuomintang that he expelled from China and appointed Bai Wenmo and Huang Xing and other Kuomintang backbones as the governors of the three provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui. The reason for this is clearly understood by those with a little knowledge...

From a strategic perspective, it is understandable to use the Kuomintang to restrain the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The problem is...

Seeing that the three provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, which were like the words, suddenly became the territory of the Kuomintang, would the Kuomintang and the Social Army give up?

That's right, the banner of the Guoshe Army was indeed "only to fight against the Yuan family" when the uprising was defeated, but now Qianjiang has been defeated. Although the Beiyang Army in Wuhan still has a lot of strength, it is obviously no longer the opponent of the Guoshe Army after the increase of troops. As long as the Guoshe Army can defeat the gathering Beiyang Army in Wuhan, the entire south will naturally be allowed to gallop. At this time, the territory of the three provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui was occupied by the unpowered Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang was still invited back by Yuan Shikai to deal with it? How could the legendary leader of the Guoshe Party Yan Guang give up?

Unify the country...

As long as you can defeat Yuan Shikai and the Kuomintang, there will be no other power in the country. By then, it will be impossible for Yan Guang to become an emperor...

So now the residents of Nanjing have a very complicated mentality about the return of the Kuomintang. They are happy about their return and are worried that their return will bring war to Nanjing. For the residents of Nanjing, they have experienced the cruel war more than two months ago and do not want to experience it again...

This is why Huang Xing felt that the people were rejecting them when he was outside, because the people in Nanjing were very worried that the return of Huang Xing and others would lead to another battle. You know, the naval fleet brought by Liu Guanxiong was bombarded at Nanjing City for more than a month, otherwise Nanjing would not have been almost destroyed in that battle.

Now that the Kuomintang is back, if the Kuomintang and social forces are at the city again...

Not to mention a month, even a week is something that the people in Nanjing cannot bear.

——————————

"This is difficult..."

Although Sun Yat-sen did not believe Huang Xing's feelings, because of Huang Xing's insistence, Sun Yat-sen still called a local Kuomintang member from Nanjing from outside. After learning about the true attitude of the people in Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen sat in his seat and kept smiling bitterly.

Now Sun Yat-sen feels like when he was a second time, he firmly believed that the people would support him, but in the end he was all supporting Yuan Shikai...

“No wonder…”

After hearing the story of the local Kuomintang member, Huang Xing nodded.

"No wonder when I was looking for my old subordinates, the local people's reaction was so cold. So that's it..."

When Huang Xing was searching for his old subordinates, although he did find many old subordinates, he also touched a lot of walls. This is why he only found one division after many times. Moreover, this division was still not satisfied with the organization, with only four infantry regiments. Although the original Soviet army did not seem to have an artillery regiment, and the cavalry regiment only had an eighth division...

"Oh, I wanted to work in an old place like Nanjing, so we could do a little bit more, but I didn't expect that the local people would have such an attitude. It's really..."

Compared with Beiyang and Guoshe, the Kuomintang really wants no soldiers and no money. Some of them are just a little bit of the people's hearts. Now even the people's hearts are quite thin, which really hit Sun Yat-sen a big blow.

However, seeing Sun Yat-sen's discouraged look, Huang Xing advised him.

"Yixian doesn't have to do this. Although the people in Nanjing do not support us now, as long as we can do hard work, the people here will definitely support us again..." Huang Xing also thought of the tax exemption order issued by Yan Guang, Sichuan. If the Kuomintang can implement this policy in Jiangsu and other places, I believe that it will take a long time to regain the lost hearts of the people. It's a pity...

"No money..."

Although the Kuomintang had funds supported by the Japanese at this time, the amount of funds was too small after all, and it was only enough to barely maintain the daily expenses of the Kuomintang. Especially after the four infantry divisions were established, it felt like they were unable to make ends meet. Want to implement a tax exemption policy? This is naturally a good idea, but unfortunately the Kuomintang's finances could not support them at all...

Just as Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were smiling bitterly, Sun Yat-sen's new adjutant Jiang Zhiqing suddenly walked in.

"Sir, Mr. Ke, the news just passed by, seems to be happening abnormally in Hunan."

"oh?"

Hearing Jiang Zhiqing's words, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing turned to look over.

I have to say that when he was young, "Principal Jiang" was still very handsome, at least not as big bald as the later "Principal Jiang" Principal Jiang. This is why Sun Yat-sen agreed immediately after Chen Qimei recommended "Principal Jiang" as Sun Yat-sen's adjutant. After all, at first glance, Jiang Zhiqing's appearance was quite passed.

(ps: There is another saying, which is the reward for Chiang Kai-shek's assassination of Tao Chengzhang...

However, although Chen Qimei is the murderer, Sun's words are not accurate yet, so they will not be adopted here...)

After seeing Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing over, Chiang Kai-shek, who had dressed up as a cultivator, shot Tao Chengzhang alone and left behind such a good sentence as "Sacred Gun Cultivator Jiang Zhiqing", was not nervous, but just took out a telegram.

"This is a telegram from the Beiyang side..."

Although Beiyang and the Kuomintang are not ally, their relationship has been greatly eased. In addition, Beiyang also hopes that the Kuomintang can restrain part of the power of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so they are still in communication with the Kuomintang in terms of information about the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

The telegram in Chiang Kai-shek's hand was just sent by the Beiyang side.

"Is it in Hunan?"

Huang Xing frowned when he heard Chiang Kai-shek's words, and then looked at Chiang Kai-shek.

"What happened there in Tan Yankai?"

Chiang Kai-shek first put the telegram on the table in front of the two, and then explained the contents of the telegram to the two.

"According to Beiyang intelligence, Tan Yankai from Hunan is deploying a division of the Hunan-Jiangxi border..." As he said that, Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing. "……It seems like there is something different..."

Hearing this, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing looked at each other.

"What is Tan Yankai trying to do?"

"I don't know, but that guy wasn't attacking Wei Xiaru, right?"

This is not impossible. After all, Tan Yankai has defected to the Kuomintang army and has joined the Kuomintang party and has become one of the officials of the Kuomintang party. Now the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang party is so complicated. If Tan Yankai really gets Yan Guang's instructions and wants to take the lead in Li Liejun...

Just based on a miscellaneous infantry division that Li Liejun just pieced together in Jiangxi, it is absolutely impossible for Tan Yankai to be an opponent of the Hunan Army. You should know that the combat effectiveness of the Hunan Army is different. In modern times, there was even a saying that "the army cannot be formed without Hunan."

If Tan Yankai really wants to take action, it would be impossible for Tan Yankai to fight from Jiangxi to Anhui just by Li Liejun's miscellaneous infantry division...

However, just when Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were still worried about Tan Yankai's Hunan Army, the Hunan Army, which had already received some heavy equipment from the Guoshe Army, was only stationed on the Hunan-Jiangxi border.

Originally, this Hunan Army was to be moved to Hubei, and sent troops from Changsha to restrain some of the Beiyang forces through water. However, after the Qianjiang Battle, it was discovered that the Beiyang was not as strong as the his army, and the Kuomintang was invited back by Yuan Shikai, Yan Guang asked Tan Yankai's Hunan Army to be deployed on the Hunan-Jiangxi border to be responsible for guarding against the various actions of the Kuomintang.

Of course, if the war in Wuhan goes well, Tan Yankai's Hunan Army is likely to become the vanguard of entering Jiangxi...

The 36mén 75mm caliber light field gun and 18mén 105mm light howitzer just sent by the Guoshe Army. However, the soldiers of the Hunan Army did not doubt whether they could fight from Hunan to Anhui...

——————————

That is when Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were full of worries, Cai E and Yan Guang had already watched the scenery of Chengdu and Chongqing.

Not long after Cai E's Yunnan army arrived in Jingzhou, it took a boat to Qianjiang to prepare to implement the most critical battle in the Wuhan. As long as the Wuhan battle was successful and all the main forces of the Beiyang Army could be driven back to the north, the entire south would be the world where the Guoshe Army could gallop.

By then, the Kuomintang, which had only 4 divisions, would naturally be no problem.

Although... if you want to deal with the Kuomintang, you always need some appropriate excuses, but if you want to find excuses, you can always find them. Even if you don’t have excuses, it is not difficult to create a few excuses.

And the reason why excuses become excuses is because anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an excuse, so it is called an excuse.

So at that time, as long as the excuses found are slightly better, it is enough. After all, as long as the Kuomintang can be settled and the entire south can be occupied, even if it is a "false" excuse, no one can do anything to Yan Guang.

In order to achieve the great goal of occupying the south, Sichuan Arsenal is currently constantly producing the required ammunition. For example, the artillery troops that the Kuomintang army relies most heavily on, all the ammunitions required can be prepared in only half a month...

In addition to the Guoshe Army gathered in Qianjiang, Sun Daoren in Fujian and Zhu Rui from Zhejiang were also preparing. Of course, these two guys are fence-skinned goods. If you want them to work hard, you will definitely not have to think about it. However, when the outcome of the Wuhan Battle has been decided, they can be responsible for tackling the Kuomintang troops...

"But Brother Yan, since the Japanese have intervened, it is better to be more careful when doing things..."

Because there were also many people's relationships within the Kuomintang, the news that the Japanese supported the Kuomintang quickly spread to Yan Guang, and Yan Guang did not have much taboos to Cai E, so Cai E also learned about the news that the Japanese supported the Kuomintang very quickly.

It is precisely because of this that Cai E persuaded Yan Guang to be careful when acting.

After all, Cai E also studied in Japan and knew how great the ambitions of the Japanese were.

If Yan Guang was not careful enough, if the Japanese found an excuse, the Japanese might send troops to intervene in China's civil war.

However, after hearing Cai E's words, Yan Guang smiled casually.

"My Chief of Staff, don't worry. When the British have not returned to Europe all their attention, let alone excuses. Even if we really touch the interests of the Japanese, the Japanese will not send troops to intervene. After all, the British are still in China now..."

That's right, after all, the European war is still unknown how many years it will take to break out. Even if the Japanese intervene, they cannot blatantly. Moreover, when the British do not want to participate in the European war, they turn the Japanese into a wolf that is enough to devour their interests in China...

Therefore, even if the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party offends the interests of the Japanese, the Japanese cannot do anything.

As for Cai E's chief of staff? After being confirmed to join the Guoshe Army, Cai E has officially served as the Chief of Staff of the Guoshe Army. Cai E's Yunnan Army is also being reorganized and will be incorporated into the Guoshe Army's sequence after the war in Wuhan is over.
