Chapter 132 The Overlord of the Party Five
Chang Ruiqing spent the whole day in the army today, talked with officers at all levels under his command for a day, and gave out more than 100,000 yuan of red envelopes to win people's hearts. This is also impossible. Who made the current situation complicated? The only thing he can rely on is this army?
As soon as he returned to the garrison in Longyan City, he saw Xu Zuyifei, a senior adviser from the 31st Mixed Brigade, greeting him like a look.
"Brig Commander, Brigade Commander! There is a secret telegram coming in Fuzhou City!"
Chang Ruiqing took off the stirrup and got off the horse. He took a folder with the words "top secret" from the other party. He frowned and asked casually: "What happened?" During this period, some unexpected news always came, which made him feel a little psychologically shady.
Xu Zuyi hesitated for a moment. According to regulations, this top-secret telegram was not what he should have read... But in the end he took a step forward and leaned into Chang Ruiqing's ear and whispered: "It's news from Fuxing Society. They have received the goods and the people have left Fuzhou safely. However, it seems that there is some small trouble. The owner seems to have already known who the suspect is."
Xu Zuyi said a lot of code words, and he didn't know what it meant. However, after hearing this, Chang Ruiqing let out a sigh. The goods refer to the huge 3.5 million yuan invested by Li Houji in Bank of China! Now he has arrived at the secret account of Fuxing Society in the Shanghai Branch of the Bank of China. As for the plan, they should have boarded the ship to Shanghai. As for the small trouble, it should refer to Li Houji's family looking for the missing Wu Yan'er... This is nothing at all. As soon as Li Houji dies, his family will have no support. Even if he knows that the money is hacked by himself, he will have no choice!
However, Chang Ruiqing's good mood did not last long. Xu Zuyi seemed to be a trick, and took out another document and handed it to Chang Ruiqing: "Braft Commander. This is a secret telegram from Guangdong!"
Chang Ruiqing opened the folder and glanced quickly, his face became solemn. After a moment of silence, he turned to Xu Zuyi and said, "Notify the officers above the regiment to have a meeting!" It seems that this is another quite surprising news, most likely not good news!
In the conference room, Chang Ruiqing had a tense face and sat in the presidency position, watching the important cadres under his command coming one by one. Even Long Qingxiang, the commander of the Northwest Fujian brigade who was attached to Chang Ruiqing, came from his home in Yongding County and rode wildly for more than an hour.
It was not until everyone arrived that Chang Ruiqing patted a telegram on the table: "Sun Yat-sen has appointed Mo Qingyu as the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army aiding Fujian in the name of the Grand Marshal of the Guangzhou Military Government, and Zang Zhiping as the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Army. Moreover, Zang Zhiping has already issued a telegram to take office... Everyone, what do you think about this news?"
Several people looked at each other, and Bai Chongxi said first: "Didn't Mo Qingyu hook up with Beiyang early in the morning? Mr. Sun also knew it, why did he send him to help Fujian? He was thinking..."
I want to kill someone with a knife! Grandma, this revolutionary pioneer's method is much better than what is written in history books...
Chang Ruiqing looked at the expressions of the Baoding officers under his command with a tense face. His group was based on Baoding classmates from southern provinces. These people participated in the student army during the Revolution of 1911. Sun Yat-sen was the "old master" of the big guy, and everyone was somewhat inclined toward Sun Yat-sen... If they were asked to choose between Sun Yat-sen and himself, the result would be very unoptimistic!
He coldly answered Bai Chongxi's question: "Mr. Sun wants to kill two birds with one stone! He knew that Mo Qingyu secretly communicated with Beiyang, so the Beiyang side would definitely use Mo Qingyu to eliminate Zang Zhiping... And we are also a believer of Mr. Sun. We also have a Beiyang sign, and we took this opportunity to pay the weapons of Mo Qingyu's army. In this way, Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi's army could easily capture the territory of eastern Guangdong."
"Then the revolutionary situation in Fujian and Guangdong is going to be great..." Hearing Chang Ruiqing's analysis, Zhang Zhizhong, who was the leader of the 6th regiment of the 31st Mixed Brigade, blurted out, and his face couldn't be concealed. Chang Ruiqing glanced at him coldly, squeezed out a few smiles and nodded: "Yes, it's great!"
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became relaxed, and Chang Ruiqing's confidants whispered to each other, mostly smiling... It seems that Chang Ruiqing is definitely not the only one among the members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party here?
Chang Ruiqing turned his head to look at Lu Yixuan: "Zixiu, what do you think? How should we deal with this situation?" This person is Lu Yongxiang's cousin, so he shouldn't be so inclined to the revolutionary party, right?
When Lu Yixuan heard this, he scratched the back of his head and smiled, "How else can I deal with it? Just follow the path arranged by Mr. Sun. Anyway, Mo Qingyu has always been in contact with us, so he will definitely not be careful of us. He just took the opportunity to pay off his weapons. Beiyang said that Mo's troops are difficult to measure, so it's better to give up the weapons first... I guess Mr. Duan Zhi and Xu Youzheng won't really care about him, the Guangdong guy."
Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly: "Who will contact Mo Qingyu again? It would be better to send him to Fujian."
Lu Yixuan sneered and patted his chest: "I'll go! I'm Lu Zijia's cousin, Mo Qingyu has to flatter him."
"Okay, then I'll let Brother Zixiu go." Chang Ruiqing smiled with satisfaction. He originally meant that. Then he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the people in the room, and put all their expressions into his eyes. He looked like a smile, including his confidant Wang Junhao. He sighed in his heart, and also made a smile like a spring breeze.
"Now arrange the task, Jiansheng." Chang Ruiqing pointed Bai Chongxi's name: "Mo Qingyu's army will give you the first way to solve it, and you must be prepared to eliminate them all!"
"Yes!" Bai Chongxi stood at attention and replied loudly.
Chang Ruiqing turned to Wang Junhao again: "Reflect on yourself, your second route is ready to enter northern Fujian. In the name of the 2nd Regiment of the 31st Mixed Brigade... take Cai Huichen (Cai Zhonghu)'s artillery regiment with you, and the main force will first drive to Shaxian to station."
Wang Junhao also stood up with a solemn look on his face and took the order. Finally, Chang Ruiqing bowed to Long Qingxiang again: "I'll ask Brother Lan Yuan for the defense of the six counties in northwestern Fujian. If the brothers can take Fuzhou or Zhangxia as they wish, this Longyan Guardian is Brother Lan Yuan!"
Long Qingxiang was overjoyed when he heard this and hugged Chang Ruiqing: "Please rest assured brother Yaoru, there is an old man in northwest Fujian, keeping the rear of Yaoru brothers foolproof!"
Chang Ruiqing looked at him and said lightly: "Northwest Fujian will be your world sooner or later. Pay attention and don't let any force squeeze in, do you understand?"
Long Qingxiang was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what Chang Ruiqing meant, the brigade commander Chang had already stood up and prepared to leave: "Brothers, our future and destiny are here. In the future, whether we are in Beiyang or joining the revolutionary party, if we want to make a name for ourselves, we must speak with our strength! Everyone do it well!"
...
With a snap, Sun Yat-sen placed two letters of appointment on his desk.
These two letters of appointment were issued in the name of the Grand Marshal of the Guangzhou Military Government. One was appointed Chen Jiongming as the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army and the garrison of Hui Chaojia. The other was appointed Jiang JShi as the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army. Both appointments were issued by Lu Rongting, the inspector of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Chen Bing, the governor of Guangdong!
Of course, it is not now, but it will be publicly released after Sun Yat-sen successfully acquired the territory of 15 counties in eastern Guangdong. The revolutionary party’s arrangement in Fujian is fully realized! Because at that time, the force that Sun Yat-sen could use on the surface will include Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi’s 20th Battalion of Guangdong and Li Liejun’s Yunnan Army, Zang Zhiping’s mixed brigade, and a large number of civilian troops in Guangdong and Fujian. In terms of total military force, there will probably be more than Lu Rongting’s Gui army!
At that time, it should be let Lu Rongting know who is the real master of the Southwest.
Sitting opposite Sun Yat-sen were Chen Jiongming and Jiang JShi. One was Sun Yat-sen's old comrade. He once served as the Minister of Civil Affairs in Guangdong (equivalent to the governor, and ranked below the governor of Hu Hanmin at that time). Now Sun Yat-sen's number one confidant. The other was Jiang JShi, who made great contributions to the revolutionary party in this turmoil in Fujian.
However, these two people seemed to be a little disdainful. There was always a little disdain in their eyes when they looked at each other. Chen Jiongming always felt that letting a soldier from another province be the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army play the piano randomly, and there were many military talents in Guangdong... And Jiang JShi also looked down on Chen Jiongming, a soldier with a long shirt, and he had never studied military affairs at all. How could he be the commander-in-chief? Moreover, Chen Jiongming's situation was too small, and there was probably only Guangdong in his eyes?
However, Sun Yat-sen believed that the two people in front of him were rare talents. As long as they were willing to unite and cooperate, they had to obediently listen to their own words, there would definitely be hope for the revolutionary cause... Jiang JShi was still obedient, but Chen Jiongming was a little unbearable!
He deliberately ignored Chen Jiongming and said gently to Jiang JShi: "Comrade JShi, it is all your credit for Fujian to have such a situation! You did a good job. By the way, what do you think Chang Ruiqing will react after we have used it?"
Jiang JShi stood up and said excitedly: "Sir, I'm sorry, everything can only be achieved under the planning of Mr.
Sun Yat-sen nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Chen Jiongming with pride. Jiang JShi then said, "As for Chang Ruiqing, it depends on what we want him next."
Sun Yat-sen frowned: "The progress of Beiyang in Mongolia is extremely smooth, and the Russian Provisional Government has no response... It seems that Mongolia can be successfully withdrawn within this month. Next, Duan Qirui should go south again, right?" He was silent for a while: "The Beiyang goes south just two routes, Hunan and Fujian route... We and the Gui army should be responsible for the enemy along the way. Why not let us deal with the Fujian side and let the Gui army go to Hunan and fight with the Beiyang soldiers!"
Chen Jiongming, who was standing beside him, suddenly thought of something and said to Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, do you want us to help Chang Ruiqing defeat Tang Guomo's army?"
Sun Yat-sen smiled faintly and nodded: "When Mo Qingyu's team is finished, you will divide 10 battalions and let Xu Ruwei and Jiang JShi command to reinforce Zang Zhiping in Fujian, and ask Fang Shengtao to go together."
Chen Jiongming shook his head slowly: "Is this too cheap? Chang Ruiqing? Now that Zang Zhiping has defected to us, Tang Guomo is defeated again, Fujian Province will be the world of him and Wang Qi!"
"Jing Gong." Jiang JShi interrupted: "It is necessary to defeat Tang Guomo, otherwise Chang Ruiqing would be able to join forces with Tang Guomo to attack Zhangxia!"
Chen Jiongming was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "I understand. Chang Ruiqing is still an outsider..."
Sun Yat-sen smiled faintly: "As sooner or later he will be our revolutionary comrades, because there is no stage for him in Beiyang."
...
Sa Zhenbing was sitting in the car, thinking about the current situation in Fujian and the conditions offered by Tang Guomo to win over the navy - he was the governor of Fujian. Quanzhou was handed over to the Marine Corps to garrison... Although he did not get the expected Xiamen, the price was still ideal.
However, the situation in Fujian Province has been a bit complicated these days. Zang Zhiping has publicly surrendered to Sun Yat-sen and accepted the position of commander-in-chief of the Fujian Army. Gao Yi, the most powerful of the Fujian Civilian Army, also publicly expressed his support for Zang Zhiping. For this reason, the Yao Jianping Brigade stationed near Quanzhou has become a fuss with Gao Yi Brigade. Now it is the time to win or lose.
Chang Ruiqing and Wang Qi from northwestern Fujian formed an alliance. Although they had already issued a telegram to support Tang Guomo as the governor of Fujian, they did not obey Tang Guomo's orders to attack Zhangxia. Instead, they took the opportunity to extend their tentacles into northern Fujian and occupied the territory of several counties. They didn't know what strate they were fighting?
In addition, Sun Yat-sen also sent reinforcements to Zang Zhiping. Mo Qingyu, the governor of Huichaojia in Guangdong, personally led the troops. It is said that there are 15 battalions of Guangdong troops, and a total of more than 6,000 troops were gathered. In this way, Zang Zhiping's total strength was as high as 17,800, which was no less than Tang Guomo. It seems that Chang Ruiqing, northwest Fujian, and Wang Qi have now become the key force in controlling the situation in Fujian.
And Chang Ruiqing has been slow to move, what kind of ideology is he fighting?
The car stopped at the entrance of the 10th Mixed Brigade Department in Fuzhou City. Tang Guomo came to him in a white long gown and smiled at the door, "Mr. Ding, I'm really hard for you to invite you here so late."
Sa Zhenbing got out of the car and nodded at Tang Guomo: "It's not a hard work. Fujian is now in such chaos. I, a Fujian child, should contribute to the stability of my hometown."
Tang Guomo laughed and welcomed Sa Zhenbing into his office. Sa Zhenbing saw a huge Fujian map hanging in the room, and a red arrow was extending from Fuzhou to Quanzhou. His heart moved. Is Tang Guomo going to launch an attack? Can his two brigades beat others? If he loses, he, the governor of Fujian, will be wasted!
When Tang Guomo saw him looking at the map, he smiled and pointed to the red arrow and said, "Ma Buyun brought two regiments to reinforce Yao Jianping. Gao Yi's thousands of people are about to be finished in a blink of an eye. Next, it's time to deal with Zang Zhiping!"
Sa Zhenbing couldn't help but frown his eyebrows. Although he was a navy, he didn't understand the war on land at all... Ma Buyun and Yao Jianping had four regiments, Gao Yi and Zang Zhiping also had four regiments, and Mo Qingyu brought ten battalions, which were almost three regiments. That was Zang Zhiping's seven regiments and Tang Guomo's four regiments, seven to four regiments, so Zang Zhiping was better than Tang Guomo!
Tang Guomo looked full of confidence and took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Sa Zhenbing: "This was sent by Xu Youzheng to his brothers. It turned out that Mo Qingyu, who sent aid to Zang, had already secretly surrendered to the central government! This time, he could turn against him in the last battle. In addition, Xu Youzheng's telegram was sent by Chang Ruiqing. Chang Ruiqing was promoted by Xu Youzheng and would not be disobedient... So this time, Xiamen was foolproof when attacking Zhangzhou! Ding Gong, please come here to contact Wang Kaishi (Wang Qi) with your face, and do not ask him to send troops together. As long as he can continue to maintain neutrality, it is enough. After Fujian is pacified, a seat of a Northeast Fujian governor can still be given to him."
After hearing his words, Sa Zhenbing breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go there myself... I didn't expect Xu Youzheng is really a person who is planning and winning thousands of miles away! First, it's Mongolia and Fujian. It seems that the chaos in Fujian will not last longer."
Tang Guomo smiled with satisfaction. It would be worth it if a guardian from Northeast Fujian could break up the alliance between Chang Ruiqing and Wang Qi. Once Zang Zhiping was finished, he would fight Chang Ruiqing in the future. As long as the navy and Wang Qi, the local snake, stood by his side, Chang Ruiqing would not be his opponent even if he controlled the entire western Fujian!
At this time, in the Chang Mansion in Fuzhou City, Jin Yongyan and Ren Yijiang, as well as Song Yuanyuan, the head of the Revolutionary Party in Fujian, also had a secret talk. After Li Houji was assassinated, Jiang JShi went to lobby Tang Guomo and then returned to Guangdong. Song Yuanyuan hid directly in Chang Ruiqing Mansion to avoid the limelight and made friends with Jin Yongyan who was in Fuzhou. Ren Yijiang had been in charge of the intelligence work of the Fuxing Society in Fuzhou. The three of them often gathered together to discuss the current situation and find the flaws of their opponents.
"The governor of Fujian is from Tang Guomo. The governor of Fujian gave Sa Zhenbing, and the commander of Zhangxia, the commander of Changfeng... Ma Buyun can most likely be the commander of the 10th Mixed Brigade. But what about Yao Jianping? His Fujian 1st Mixed Brigade took the lead in signing, but there was no benefit when he was in the face. I'm afraid he was unfair, right?"
Jin Yongyan took the information summary that Ren Yijiang had just sent, and then started to think about it.
"It's not just unfair!" Song Yuanyuan shook his palm fan and smiled, "Yao Jianping was the commander of the 14th regiment, and Tang Guomo was the commander of the 13th regiment, and they followed Li Houji into Fujian together. Now one is about to be the commander of the army, and the other is also the brigade commander, not even a fat guard. It's really a comparison of people, which is so annoying! Brother Xiaofeng, brother Yichen, do you see if there is any loophole in this place? "!~!
