Chang Ruiqing said nothing, and his fingers unconsciously hit the table, but his mind was as clear as water.

In history, Okamura Yasuji really regarded himself as a supporter of Sun Yat-sen! However, his real purpose was nothing more than to stir up disputes in China!

Historically, the Japanese spared no effort to support those who were in distress with the central government, even if the central government fell into the hands of the Fengtian warlords supported by Japan! Sun Chuanfang, the overlord of the five provinces, rose up with the support of Okamura Yasuji. Later, the Japanese even supported the Guangdong-Guangzhou military que, which was under the banner of anti-Japanese war, to launch an incident to oppose Jiang J, the central government of Nanjing.

Shi………………………………………. Now, although they support Duan Qirui’s military unification on the surface, they may have spared no effort in private to stumbling over Prime Minister Duan and support warlords under various banners to engage in separatist rule? I wonder if Guangzhou has ever received support from Japan?

Seeing Chang Ruiqing hesitating, Okamura Yanji looked sincere and lowered his voice: "Actually, we also know that Brother Yaoru has contacts with Guangdong, but this is nothing. There is no Beiyang forces here in Fujian who do not secretly connect to the southwest. Zang Zhiping, Tang Guomo, Wang Qi, Yao Jianping, and even Li Hou are basically all over the place!"

"Oh, is that?" Chang Ruiqing showed a surprised expression on his face.

In fact, he knew all these things that the various Chinese sects in this era were intertwined with each other, and there was no loyalty or righteousness. Everything depends on interests. There are many people in the Beiyang who secretly connect to the southwest, and there are also many people in the Kuomintang colluding with Beiyang, and even Duan Qirui.

Xu Shuzheng, after the failure of the Zhi-An War, did he still hook up with Sun Yat-sen and set up a triangular alliance to oppose Wu Peifu?

Okamura Yasuji smiled and continued word by word: "As long as General Yaoru is willing to turn to Mr. Sun, the empire will have a way to let you sit on the throne of the number one person in Fujian!"

Chang Ruiqing just smiled but didn't answer. Being the number one person in Fujian was indeed his next goal, but it was too early to openly surrender to Sun Yat-sen. The Beiyang Anhui faction is not exhausted at present, and he has an arrangement related to international affairs that requires the central government to use the platform, so they cannot be treated as a traitor to fight!

Seeing Chang Ruiqing's performance, Okamura Yasuji was slightly disappointed: "General Yaoru, can't you let go of the friendship of the former master?" Chang Ruiqing nodded and sighed: "Hsiu Zhenggong has the kindness of knowing the people. If he publicly rebels against the central government, he may be despised by the world? So, Mr. Okamura should not mention the matter of publicly seeking refuge in Guangzhou." Okamura's smile remained the same. He had heard that there was something in Chang Ruiqing's words. Chang Ruiqing refused to rebel publicly, not to go.

Being a loyal minister in Beiyang! He smiled and nodded: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't force it. However, the empire still hopes to carry out comprehensive cooperation with General Yaoru, such as providing excellent and cheap military weapons for the Diyan Mixed Brigade, providing general with rich experience military advisers, and providing loans for the development of resources in northwestern Fujian. These are the good intentions of the Japanese Empire. I hope that when the general becomes a leader in China in the future, he can become the defender of Sino-Japanese friendship and East Asian peace..."

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and nodded. He knew that he could not refuse the "good intentions" of Okamura's Neji Okamura, now he was just a small Beiyang warlord. Although he had more than 10,000 troops in his hand and a few small money, he was still vulnerable in the face of Japanese imperialism! He didn't even need the other party to take action directly, so that the strength he had finally accumulated could be wiped out! However, the "cooperation" with Japan could not be carried out without reservation. It would be fine to buy some arms, but the military adviser must be prepared like a thief, otherwise the Fengtian warlords would be not far from him!

North of the Pass, Suiyuan.

The Mongolian border guards from the brigade rushed down from the army and came to Suiyuan, a famous city in northern Selangor. Although it was already June, the weather in Suiyuan was still very cool. The cool breeze blowing from the Mongolian Plateau made the soldiers who were riding the tank trucks all the way feel energetic.

Suiyuan here does not refer to the Suiyuan Special Administrative Region, but to Suiyuan City located in the middle of the Hetao Plain. The climatic conditions here are relatively good in the northern part of the Suiyuan, and there are many productions. They are also located in the middle of the Six Alliance Banners of Inner Mongolia, so it is the center of the military and political center of the Qing Dynasty and the current Republic of China in the northern part of the Suiyuan.

The current Suiyuan Tutor is Cai Chengxun, the commander of the Beiyang First Division. The Beiyang First Division was a bannerman division, which was the troops recruited by the Qing court among the Eight Banners around Beijing. The combat effectiveness can be imagined... However, the military force in Outer Mongolia is even weaker, and the Russian domestic chaos is in chaos, and Kulun is already in chaos. It is rare to be stable on the "border". But at this time, the central government of Beijing actually sent troops to recover Outer Mongolia!

Looking at the soldiers and Touzhong who were coming off the train, Suiyuan governor Cai Chengxun felt a little incredible. What medicine did these guys take? They didn't stay in the pass, but they actually wanted to go to places where birds don't poop to find trouble.

He saw more than a dozen soldiers wearing gray soldiers' clothes walking towards him. The officer in the middle was surprisingly tall and looked a little gloomy. Cai Chengxun recognized that this person was Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the CSKA. He hurriedly strode forward and hugged Feng Yuxiang: "Brother Huan*, it's good that you're here. Someone finally went to clean up the gangsters in Outer Mongolia this time!"

Feng Yuxiang reluctantly smiled a little, and then bowed his fists and said, "Brother Huchen, regaining the country is the responsibility of our soldiers. Brothers have long wanted to come. By the way, can Suiyuan recruit people? At least 1,000 people, and the same number of Luoluo brothers' 16th mixed brigade is only one of them. On the east side, there is also the 1st Brigade of the participating troops to occupy Eastern Mongolia. The two add up, and the total strength is 14,500,000! You see so many soldiers, can the problem of logistics supply be solved in Suiyuan, Rehe and Outer Mongolia?"

Of course, he knew Duan Qirui from Beijing. Xu Shuzheng didn't like him, so he was ready to settle down in Outer Mongolia for a long time! And to stay in Outer Mongolia for a long time, the most important thing is naturally the logistics supply. His 16th Mixed Brigade's seven or eight thousand brothers are nothing to suffer, but they can't live without food, right?

Cai Chengxun frowned slightly, took Feng Yuxiang's hand and walked slowly outside the station. In fact, he had just arrived in Suiyuan, and had a limited understanding of the situation here. Now he can only briefly introduce it: "The population here is not too small, and the alliance flags in Inner Mongolia are quite respectful, and there is no problem in recruiting 8,000 people. However, it is probably not very realistic to raise 10,000 troops from territories like Inner Mongolia, and it is very poor. All the alliance flags in Inner Mongolia are so poor that they have never paid a penny tax since the Yuan Dynasty! As for Outer Mongolia, it is even poorer and has a small population. Although the area is so large, the number of people should be less than 1 million, which is not as good as those better counties in the south. Therefore, the supply can only rely on the mainland. It is best to go to Chahar to Kulun to build a railway, which is foolproof."

Feng Yuxiang smiled bitterly. There were less than 1 million people, so he couldn't afford to support his own mixed voyage!

If you want to grow and grow, you will have no way! As for the Kuzhang Railway, it is already a cliché. In the late Qing Dynasty, officials proposed it, but where did you get the money? I can't count on this matter at all. It seems that I have to find a way out!

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked south again, and sighed softly.

At this time, in Fujian and Guangdong, which are located on the southern edge of mainland China, there is an undercurrent undercurrent under the seemingly calm atmosphere. All parties are intrigue and making various behind-the-scenes transactions. They want to accumulate enough chips to bet before the northern and southern battles reopen.

In the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen, the revolutionary pioneer who was known as the Grand Marshal, was walking around in annoyance. His great cause of protecting the law and the military government in Guangzhou had reached a bleak point. Lu Rongting was busy reaching a behind-the-scenes deal with the north to maintain the separatist situation, while Tang Jiyao only knew how to expand his territory to Sichuan, and no one paid much attention to the Grand Marshal. However, it was not these that made Sun Yat-sen bored, but his confidant Chen Jiongming always looked forward to the matter when doing things.

He took a few steps and picked up a folding fan from the table, shook it a few times, threw it aside, sighing, "What are you waiting for this Chen Jingcun! Do you have to wait until Mo Qingyu raises the flag of rebellion before he can take action? Why don't he understand the principle of starting first?"

Standing opposite Sun Yat-sen in the office were his confidant Hu Hanmin and Xie Chi. Hu Hanmin had just arrived from Chen Xuanming's station in Meixian County, and the news that Chen Jiongming had to continue waiting for was brought by him. He touched the round glasses on his nose and sighed: "Sir, Chen Jingcun said that he had contacted Chang Ruiqing, from northwest Fujian, the other party was trying every means to incite Mo Qingyu to rebel through Chang Ruiqing's matchmaking. The one with the surname Mo was already

After hooking up with Lu Yongxiang, he was Duan Qirui's internally appointed inspector of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of Guangdong, who was most enthusiastic about attacking the southwest." Sun Yat-sen sighed: "Then we must seize the time to seize the territory of eastern Guangdong. If Lu Yongxiang's 10th Division really arrives in Fujian, the situation will take a sharp turn! Even Chang Ruiqing, who has contact with us, Zang Zhiping will become his pawn in attacking Guangdong! Even Lu Rongting will betray us in order to protect ourselves."

Hu Hanmin's expression also became serious when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Xie Chi, who looked like a small businessman. He was the head of the Sichuan Kuomintang Industrial Group. He has followed Sun Yat-sen since 1914 and has gained the trust of Sun. He is currently serving as the senator of the Grand Marshal's Office and acting secretary-general. He is considered Sun's think tank.

Xie Chi took two steps forward and walked to Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, the key at the moment is not eastern Guangdong, but Fujian! If there is a problem in Fujian, eastern Guangdong and even the entire Guangdong are our things!" "What can happen in Fujian?" Sun Yat-sen turned his head and looked at Xie Chi. Xie Chi smiled and said, "Of course it has turned Chang Ruiqing into a barrier to Guangdong!" "You mean..." Sun Yat-sen asked.

"If Chang Ruiqing wants to enter Fuzhou, as long as he becomes the lord of Fuzhou, there will be no place for him in Beiyang! Moreover, this person is not weak and his wrist is very clever, which is enough to become a barrier to our east." Sun Yat-sen clapped his face: "Good way! Beiyang cannot tolerate him, so he has to use it for us. With him in front of him, Lu Yongxiang will have no way to advance from Fujian, and we will be foolproof in eastern Guangdong!" He turned to Hu Hanmin and said, "Go to generate electricity for Chen Jingcun and order him to take action as soon as possible. He must seize the old county in eastern Guangdong within July! He then sent Jiang JShi to make sure that Chang Ruiqing would enter Fuzhou.

Hu Hanmin turned around and left after receiving the instructions. Xie Chi wanted to say goodbye, but Sun Yat-sen called him down. Sun Yat-sen sat back behind the desk, picked up the paper and wrote a text message, and handed it to Xie Chi, "This is my handwritten letter to Gao Yi, let Lin Zichao go to Quanzhou and hand it over to Gao Yi." Fujian, Longyan, guarding the yamen.

As soon as he returned to Longyan, Chang Ruiqing plunged into official business. Although there were only six counties in the territory, there were not many troubles at all.

First, the troops of Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao and Long Qingran were dispatched in turn during this period and caught the bandits in the mountains in the northwest of Yue. There were always dozens of big and small battles, and many bandits were eliminated, but the public security situation in northwest of Fujian did not improve at all. The bandits who escaped the pursuit seemed to have exploded and started to move more and more. They came down from the mountain every few days, either besieging the earthen building or blocking the road to rob, causing the local tyrants and evil gentry in the six counties in northwest of Fujian to "request troops," which is really annoying.

The second is the troubles in the team. Chang Ruiqing's mixed brigade soldiers were originally recruited in the north. The language of living habits was completely different from that in the south. The weather was fine when it was cool a few days ago, but now the weather is getting hot, and the team's diseases caused by the unacceptable environment have increased. For this reason, Chang Ruiqing had to send a special person to Xiamen to invite doctors to treat them. In addition, the newly recruited Fujian Hakka soldiers also gave Chang Ruiqing a headache.

What the Hakka people say sounds like a foreign language to the northerners, and they often like to join groups and most of them join gangs. They are probably used to being free in the civilian army. They are difficult to control themselves in the team, and they often use mutiny to threaten Shangguan! As a result, they annoyed the warlords of Chang Da, and publicly shot several people who took the lead in causing trouble, and then suppressed them... It seems that the team was expanding too quickly and it was not good. All kinds of people got in and had to find a way to rectify them.

Furthermore, the contact with Mo Qingyu was not going smoothly. This "reverse boy" was even more cunning than a fox. Chang Ruiqing sent Jin Yongyan to contact him several times, and asked for a handwritten letter from Lu Yongxiang to sign the official and make a wish, but the other party still didn't say anything!

Finally, the northwestern Fujian region did not know what official he, the governor, was regarded as. Some people came to the yamen to complain about the lawsuit every few days. Some sued officials, some shouted for justice, and all kinds of strange civil disputes.

In short, Chang Dajunque's head was three times wide. He was a Beiyang warlord, not Bao Qingtian, so why did he still have to go to the court to make a case?

There are a lot of things every day. Even a strong warlord like Chang Ruiqing, he only feels that there are bursts of excitement in front of him. It seems that "waking up the power of the world" is really not something that a person does! Only more than 10,000 troops in six counties will be as tired as dogs. If they really lead the whole of China, they will not be able to make ends meet. I don’t know how Prime Minister Zhou in history supported it?

Just as Chang Ruiqing was thinking about whether to invite Zhou Elai, who was studying in Europe, to help, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the office door. Then he saw the adjutant Yu Liu push the door open, and Wu Shi and Wu Zhongxi both stepped in with joy.

"Brother Yaoru, good news, good news! Li Houji has met Zhang Gongquan and promised to invest 3.5 million in Bank of China!"

Listening to Wu Shi's voice, Chang Rui raised his green eyebrows and a hint of joy slipped across his face. His sacrifice during this period was a bit big, and he just needed some money to fill it.

Wu Zhongxi continued: "Three million and five million yuan were transferred from Taiwan Bank in Japan. It will definitely be on the books of our Bank of China Fujian Branch before the end of June, and it will be transferred to the Shanghai Headquarters in early July."

"Okay! OK! OK! Time is just right!" Chang Ruiqing clapped his hands, stood up from behind the desk, and walked around the room excitedly, laughing as he walked: "This deal seems to be a big profit again, 200,000 silver bullets, a meat bullet, and more than one hundred hired outlaws can make more than 3 million in a row! Even if it can't get the territory of Zhangxia, it's worth it." Listening to Chang Ruiqing's words, Wu Shi smiled and looked at Chang Ruiqing with a strange look: "Why, do you really plan to give Wu Yan'er 350,000?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled deeply: "Xiang'er told me that this woman is interested in my second brother. After the matter is done, I will send her to Shanghai... Forget about silence, maybe there will be something to use her in the future."

Wu Shi and Wu Zhongxi looked at each other and nodded each other. Wu Shi said, "It's good that this is good. After all, she has made great contributions for us. And when she arrives in Shanghai, her social skills will definitely help Ruiyuan open up the situation." Chang Ruiqing smiled and said to Wu Shi: "Now everything is ready, so I'll just wait for the east wind of Sa Zhenbing. By the way, who will contact Zang Zhiping and Tang Guodu? Has anyone chosen?" Wu Shi replied with a smile: "Let Mr. Jin go there Zang Zhiping, and as for Tang Guomo, why don't you let Jiang JShi go there after finishing the matter? He and Tang Guomo are classmates in the first phase of Baoding." (To be continued
