Hengyang, Hunan, the 3rd Division of the Beiyang Army.

The division guards lined up in four neat rows at the entrance of the division, blew the trumpets and held the five-color national flag of the Beiyang. All the guard soldiers stood quietly on the rifles made by Gongxian. A major officer holding a Western command knife walked around in front of the team.

The main entrance of the division headquarters has been greatly opened, and a number of Beiyang Army officers in neat military uniforms and local celebrities in Hengyang wearing long suits are waiting in the door. A banner is also hung at the entrance of the division department, with the words welcoming the Chinese GCD leader Mr. Mao ZD!

It seems that Mr. Mao Zd is much more glorious than the same period in history. He actually made the dignified Beiyang Army Commander Wu Peifu so serious and welcomed his arrival with great fanfare.

At this time, Master Wu did not wait at his division, but instead condescended to surrender to the nobles, and took several chief officials of the Third Division to greet Xiangjiang Wharf outside Hengyang City. Outside the division, there were also a group of people watching the fun, pointing to the banner and making comments.

"Who is this Mao ZD? It sounds familiar, but I can't remember who it is?"

"Hey, look at your memory. When I was arresting the rioters a while ago, wasn't this Mao Zd on the list? Governor Zhang offered a reward of 500 to take him!"

"Haha, what's this? In Changsha, Governor Zhang offered a reward to take him, and in Hengyang, Commander Wu regarded him as a guest of honor. Isn't Commander Wu the Commander Zhang all from the Northern Army?"

"It's all because of Duan Qirui in Beijing's unfair rewards and punishments. This time, he attacked the southwest, and Commander Wu made great contributions. He attacked Xiangyang, went to Changsha, and occupied Hengyang... It was all the credits of Master Wu! In terms of rewards, the governor of Hunan should be given to him. Even if he didn't give him a governor, at least he should be given to him? But Duan Qirui gave all the governor and governor to Zhang Jingyao. Can Wu Peifu be satisfied? Look, our Hunan may be in chaos again!"

"It shouldn't be true? Didn't Sun Dapao say that he wants to 'union of provinces and peaceful reunification'."

"What is 'unilateral autonomy'? It's just an excuse, but it's just a warlord separatist! As for 'peaceful reunification', it's even more a joke. These warlords have all separatist, how can they be unified without using weapons? Still peaceful? Haha, I think it's just a Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! At that time, the Beijing government will be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Below are the heroes competing for the world, and the world is in chaos..."

"I think so. I heard that Guangdong is in chaos now. Sun Dapao's soldiers are fiercely attacking the Gui army occupying western Guangdong, and have sent ships to transport the law guardian army to land on Hainan Island... He doesn't engage in peaceful reunification in Guangdong, but he still wants to peaceful reunification of China? What a big joke!"

"Oh, you said that if Sun Dapao unified Guangdong and Guangxi, will he attack our Hunan next? I heard that Grandma Tan will be here in Guangzhou these two days."

"It probably won't be possible? Grandma Tan and Sun Dapao didn't seem to be together. Why did he help Grandma Tan offend Beiyang?"

"But what if the soldiers from Beiyang in Hunan fight by themselves..."

"Beiyang fights Beiyang? Not so?"

"It's hard to say, that Mao Zd came to Hengyang to provoke Commander Wu to attack Governor Zhang..."

What if the people hadn't had their eyes bright? Our revolutionary pioneer Sun Yat-sen and the Chang's revolutionary revolutionary had no idea that they could hide it from the people here in Hunan.

In fact, it was not the ordinary people who saw through the plot of the revolutionaries. Wu Peifu, the scholar-in-chief of the Third Division, also had a clear mind! But the problem is that he, the third division of the Beiyang Army, received only about 40% of the military salary in the past three months! Three% of them were paid by the Beijing Government Army Department, and one hundred% were found by the old general of the Zhili Army Cao Kun. However, Cao Kun was also in a tight position. Tianjin's commercial tax was originally a copy of the Zhili Army Office, but now they all returned to the central government, and the management of the Beijing-Han Railway has become increasingly strict. I have no way to make some money by pointing to the railway. I don't know how long it will last for Cao Kun's help?

After all, these Beiyang soldiers are mercenaries, and everyone works hard for money. If they don’t have money, they will not have morale. Even if they are elite troops like the Third Division, if they are not supported by money, they will still not be able to fight tough battles! If they are troops that are stocked later, they will not be fine. At worst, they will suffer some hardships, at most they will have to eat some empty quotas. Life will be a little harder, but they will always be able to pass. However, the Third Division is on the front line and has to go to the battlefield to fight desperately at any time. If this is the case, 30% of the salary and 40% of the salary will continue. If the Southern Army really fights, everything will be over.

For this reason, the telegram that Wu Xiucai urged for salary flew to the Army Department of Tieshizi Hutong in Beijing like snowflakes, but there was no reply. In desperation, in early March, he personally went to Changsha, wanting to ask for some money from Zhang Jingyao. However, Zhang Jingyao's territory was all captured by the Third Division, but now Wu Peifu said in front that he was also helping Zhang Jingyao to protect the country.

But the Grand General Zhang was a life-long master. He refused to pay for it. He kept crying with Wu Peifu in front of him. He said that his general was a big son but he had not saved up and had caused a lot of deficits. At present, he had not used his tickets or IOUs in his pocket. He was also powerless to help Wu Peifu...

After returning from Changsha, Wu Daxiucai's heart was almost cold. He was thinking about whether to give up the job. Someone who claimed to be a Chinese GCD messenger suddenly came and sent a handwritten letter from Zhongg Chairman Chen Duxiu. He said that he could help him contact local forces in Hunan and support him to replace Zhang Jingyao and serve as the governor of Hunan! If Wu Peifu intends to cooperate, Zhongg will also send their Central Bureau member Mao Zd to Hengyang to interview him.

Although Wu Peifu lives in Hengyang, he always pays attention to the world. He has known clearly what the Chinese GCD came from and what background it has. He also understands very well that although the painting cakes he gave were a bit big, they are not talking nonsense... After all, Chang Ruiqing, the secretary of the Zhongg Southern Bureau, won the entire Fujian Province with the status of a mixed brigade commander? How many tricks are there? Even if Wu Peifu didn't see it at that time, he has long thought about it clearly now!

That's why today he used such a big show to welcome Mao Zd and Chairman Mao, who looked like a scholar.

...

Mao Zd is sitting now in the reception room of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army, where there are almost no decorations. He just hangs five-color national flags on the walls, and there is also a full picture of the Republic of China. The hospitality is just a cup of tea.

Of course, his public name for coming to Hengyang was not "Union of Wu and Zhang". Instead, he promoted "Union of Provincial Autonomy" and was preparing to participate in the election of members of the Hunan constituency of the Federation of Provincial Parliament. So just now at the Hengyang Wharf, at the gate of the Third Division. When facing the elders and fellow villagers of Hunan Province and journalists who came from the provincial capital Changsha, Member Mao talked about the benefits of "Union of Provincial Autonomy" and promised everyone that once he was elected as a member of the Federation of Provincial Parliament, he would definitely win the greatest autonomy rights for Hunan.

But now, when only he and Wu Peifu are left in this living room, it is time to get straight to the topic.

Mao Zd put down the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly at Wu Peifu: "Teacher Wu, since you have decided to cooperate with our party, I might as well give you a glimpse. In fact, this time, the one who supports you as the governor of Hunan is not just our Chinese gcd."

"Oh, who else?" Wu Peifu said calmly.

An extremely confident smile appeared on Mao Zd's face: "And Mr. Sun Yat-sen!"

A hint of surprise slipped across Wu Peifu's face, but it quickly covered it up: "Isn't Mr. Sun's support Tan Zu'an?"

Mao zd smiled and waved his hand: "Let Tan Wei Princess Xiang, you Beiyang will give up? At that time, the battle between the north and the south will probably restart. Wouldn't the 'unilateral autonomy and peaceful reunification' advocated by Mr. Sun and our party be shattered again?"

As soon as he said this, Wu Peifu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sun Yat-sen and GCD's thoughts could be seen through by anyone with a little brain... Fortunately, Mao ZD could still say it seriously, and just telling lies to this ability. It seems that he will definitely be an amazing person in the future.

Seeing Wu Peifu's expression, Mao Zd also smiled: "No matter what, Mr. Sun and our party do not agree with Princess Tan Weixiang. Please do not doubt this."

Wu Peifu smiled faintly: "Talk about it, that Tan Zu'an really wants to establish Hunan Autonomy... How about letting him become a governor?"

Mao zd slowly shook his head: "Mr. Sun belongs to Mr. Cheng Songgong."

"Cheng Songyun?" Wu Peifu's face moved and nodded slightly: "This is probably Mr. Sun's condition? Then what are the conditions for the noble party?"

Mao zd smiled, raised his right hand and pointed at Wu Peifu and said, "It's yourselves."

Wu Peifu was stunned and looked at Maozd with some hesitation. Maozd explained solemnly: "Chairman Chen of our party hopes that Teacher Wu, you can join us and become a member of our China GCD!"

This condition was actually Mao Zd's own decision. Chen Duxiu and Chang Ruiqing never thought that Wu Peifu would join the G-China National G-China, and they did not expect that Wu Peifu, a direct backbone like Wu Peifu, would turn to the people (our Chang's revolutionary always thought he could represent the people). However, Mao Zd still planned to try his best to win over Master Wu who seemed full of patriotism. At least in his opinion, Wu Peifu looked more like a revolutionary than Chang Ruiqing.

However, Wu Peifu's reaction asked back: "Is Mr. Zuo Min a comrade of your party? There seems to be no name for this hero on the list of Central Committee members announced by your party."

Mao zd focused his attention and replied with great certainty: "Comrade Zuomin is of course a member of our party, and he is also the actual leader of our party! It's just that his identity is too sensitive, so it is not convenient for this name to appear on the list of members of our party's Central Committee."

This is not what Mao zd said nonsense, he has indeed consulted Chen Duxiu on this issue privately. What Mao zd told Wu Peifu now was the original words Chen Duxiu told him that day.

Wu Peifu smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Zuomin is the leader of your party, Peifu is willing to join China GCD! It's just... Can you be lucky enough to meet Mr. Zuomin?"

Mao Zd frowned and thought to himself that I can't even see this Zuo Grand Leader! What's more, you? He smiled bitterly and said to Wu Peifu: "To be honest, I'm the same as General Ziyu, and I want to see Comrade Zuo Min but I can't do it!"

Wu Peifu was stunned, his face was already cold. To put it bluntly, the GCD is just a small party that has just opened for a while. The reason why it can make the world look at them is that everyone thinks they are an amazing force. Isn’t it because it is exposed to the light of the Red Brigade and Comrade Zuo Min who also scares imperialism? But now the member of the Central Bureau of the Central G G said that he had never seen Zuo Min. Can this not make people doubt it? Do you believe me, Wu Peifu, or does it have nothing to do with the Red Brigade at all?

Mao zd saw Wu Peifu's doubts at a glance, and he smiled. He said, "General Ziyu, Comrade Zuo Min's current position determines that he must be cautious and not easily expose himself. In fact, except for the core personnel of their Red Brigade, there are not many people who have actually met Zuo Min. Even if General Ziyu meets him, it is difficult to tell the truth or false, right? Why not do this? Let's arrange for Comrade Meng Li, the chief of staff of the Red Brigade, to meet you. Oh, it's the famous red eunuch!"

Now Wu Peifu was finally satisfied. He smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I, Wu Peifu, have been a member of China's GCD from now on. However, my brothers are also sensitive, so it's best to join this party in secret."

Mao zd clapped his hands and laughed: "Natural, natural. Then let's discuss how to invite Zhang Jingyao out of Hunan!"

When Wu Peifu heard the words to drive Zhang Jingyao away, his eyebrows were furrowed. To be honest, he wanted to do it very much, and in order for his third division to have a reliable source of income, he also had to be the governor, but he did not want to be an enemy of the entire Beiyang system.

Wu Peifu's thoughts were already expected by Chang Ruiqing and Mao Zd. Before Mao Zd left Fuzhou, they had already discussed a solution.

At this time, Mao Zd smiled and said, "General Ziyu, the purpose of our joint efforts to drive Zhang in Hunan is not to provoke a full-scale war with Beiyang, which is not in the interests of our and Mr. Sun. Of course, we do not want General Ziyu to fight against the entire Beiyang because of driving Zhang! Our plan is to turn drive Zhang into Hunan's own business, which has nothing to do with Beijing and other parts of the country."

Wu Peifu was slightly stunned and asked back, "Is this possible?"

Mao zd smiled and said, "Of course it's possible! Did General Ziyu forget about the matter of the joint provincial autonomy? What is the joint provincial autonomy? It means to implement local autonomy as the unit, and solve your own affairs by yourself. If I remember correctly, Zhang Jingyao seems to be one of the few princes in the country who has not expressed his support for the joint provincial autonomy?"

Wu Peifu smiled contemptuously: "Why is he pursuing the military power of the entire Hunan Province? He did not suppress the military power of the entire Hunan gentry, nor did he be admired by the people supported by Hunan's gentry. If Hunan's Federation of Federations was autonomy, it would probably be better than his supervisor. Why? Are you planning to play the card of Hunan's joint autonomy in the north-south peace talks?"

Mao zd laughed: "General Ziyu said so much, we are going to defeat Zhang with the autonomy of the Federation of Provincial People."

Wu Peifu shook his head: "Duan Zhiquan probably won't agree, right?"

Mao zd said lightly: "Then we will find a way to promote this matter, so that the Beiyang government will agree to implement joint-provincial autonomy in Hunan. For example, we and the representatives of the Kuomintang can propose a peaceful reunification of Hunan through joint-provincial autonomy in the North-South peace talks, and resolve the current conflicts in Hunan.

At the same time, Mr. Sun can also put his attitude higher, saying that neither the Kuomintang nor Tan Yankai will participate in this Hunan Provincial Senate election, so that only our GCD and Liang Qichao's progressive party will run. It would be fine if he was afraid of the Kuomintang, but if even our GCD, then his progressive party would not be opened. If it really doesn't work, I will draft another telegram to analyze the situation in Beiyang for Mr. Duan Zhi, and keep him in mind that he agreed to open the election in Hunan!"

He smiled slightly and said, "At the same time, General Ziyu can also actively participate in the election of the Hunan Provincial Senate. On the one hand, he publicly issued a telegram to support the solution of Hunan problem by the joint provincial autonomy; on the other hand, he joined the Progressive Party, contacted the gentry in Hengyang, and tried to gain more candidates. We will also arrange some gentry celebrities who tend to favor the Kuomintang and Tan Yankai to join General Ziyu and let them participate in the election in the name of the Progressive Party. Moreover, the Hengyang area is now controlled by General Ziyu's Third Division, and some territories in southern and western Hunan are controlled by the Hunan Army, which tends to protect the law military government. The elections on these territories can be fully manipulated. Even in Changsha, Yueyang, and Xiangtan, General Ziyu can exert any influence..."

Wu Peifu seemed to understand what Mao ZD meant. It seemed that the other party wanted to use normal "democratic procedures" to drive Zhang. If those pro-KMTs and GCD who risked the name of the Progressive Party could control the Hunan Provincial Senate, they could naturally choose Zhang Jingyao's military commander and choose themselves as military commander! By then, it would be legitimate to take over Changsha. If Zhang Jingyao refused to give way, there would be nothing wrong with him even sending troops to fight, and Beiyang could not regard himself as a traitor.

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu stopped hesitating. He let out a heavy sigh and replied loudly: "Okay! Everything will be done according to the meaning of Mr. Mao and GCD. I will then order someone to draft a power to support the peaceful reunification of Hunan by the method of joint provincial autonomy!" (To be continued...)
