"From now on, Shanghai will regard Brother Jiang as the commander-in-chief and general of the Jiangnan Republican Army stationed in Shanghai." Chen Tianhua emphasized:

"Please rest assured that Chen Yingshi will never appear in Shanghai politics again from now on, and will never hinder your rule!"

Jiang Zunliang took a deep look at Chen Tianhua. Although this man was young, his murderous spirit was truly rare in the world.

"Did you kill Chen Yingshi?" he asked in horror.

"He is ruthless, but I can't be unjust! I won't kill him, I just ask him to electrify him, leave this place, and go abroad." Chen Tianhua said calmly:

"Of course, if he doesn't want to live, I won't and can't stop him either."

There are words in the words, indicating that the brotherhood between them will be gone from now on. It can be said that from now on, the robe will be cut off.

Jiang Zunliang nodded slightly, this condition was in line with his wishes.

"Thank you, Marshal. What about the Li Mansion in Zhejiang Province?"

"That is Chen's family matter. Of course Tianhua hopes to resolve it internally." Chen Tianhua only stated a principle, but did not elaborate on the specifics.

"That's good. I sincerely hope that the situation in Zhejiang Province, and even the situation between the north and the south, can be stabilized as soon as possible." Jiang Zunliang smiled lightly and flattered.

Chen Tianhua just nodded without saying anything.

…

The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

At the foot of Tiangong Mountain in Longyan Prefecture, there is the Shanghai Army Camp.

The entire army has been besieged like an iron barrel by Song Xiaoniu's Tiger and Ben troops for more than 20 days. From the first day, there was no water or food, and there was no logistical supplement. More than 10,000 troops only relied on killing horses to satisfy their hunger.

What made the Shanghai army officers even more desperate was that the Guangdong army had collapsed across the board. After being severely damaged by most of the army, the navy and army retreated back to Guangdong Province.

If Chen Tianhua's military order had not been issued first and the Southern troops were not allowed to cross the border in pursuit, Generals Song Xiaoniu and Chen Er would have been eager to pursue them and destroy the remaining Cantonese troops.

Now, the entire Fujian region is being rebuilt and reorganized after the war. The Gan army led by Chen Ersuo has been ordered to withdraw to the garrison in Gan Province.

Most of the main forces of the East China Sea Fleet have withdrawn to the Chongming base one after another, leaving only a few large troop carriers, logistics supply ships, etc., and five large escort cruisers in Funing Port.

They were all waiting for the order from the Tiger Army to retreat.

Today is the ultimatum day given by the Huben Army to the Shanghai Army.

At present, the Shanghai army is in a desperate situation with no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. Breaking out of the encirclement is equivalent to losing one's life.

In desperation, the Shanghai army had long been disheartened. Most of the soldiers had mutinied a few days ago, opened the camp gates to welcome the Confederate army, and surrendered.

In the camp, there are currently only Chen Qimei's handsome tent, dozens of his personal guards, deputy Geng Zhongming, and a concubine who accompanied the army from Shanghai.

When Geng Zhongming arrived at Song Xiaoniu's headquarters for negotiation, what he got was this sentence:

"Generalissimo Chen Tianhua has issued an order. Chen Yingshi must submit a handwritten letter of surrender, electrify the whole country and leave the country, and then leave the country!"

But is Chen Qimei willing to accept such an ending?

When he returned to his handsome palace, he had completely calmed down. Scenes of the past years flashed before his eyes, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

With a look of extreme pain flashing across his eyes, he pulled out his Browning pistol and slowly wiped it.

"Master...Master...many Confederate officers and soldiers came to the camp gate and blocked the door, not allowing anyone to go in or out!"

The concubine appeared at the door of the palace with a pale face and panic.

"I know!" Chen Qimei raised her head and looked at the concubine with a ferocious face, her expression was strange, and her hands could not help but tremble slightly.

"Master, you...what are you going to do?"

The concubine looked at Chen Qimei with a look of extreme horror on her face.

"Bang bang...bang..."

Three shots were fired in succession.

As several guards rushed into the palace, their eyes were bright red, and the concubine was shot twice in the abdomen. She fell on the carpet in front of the desk, twitching slightly and died.

Chen Qimei was leaning on the desk, with a blood hole in her temple, blood flowing freely, and smoke still coming from the muzzle of Browning's gun.

"The governor is dead, the governor committed suicide!"

"..."

A few minutes later, Song Xiaoniu led a group of Southern Army generals, as well as Geng Zhongming and others, into the palace.

Geng Zhongming looked sad, while Song Xiaoniu looked at himself calmly, and then let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Damn it, this suffocating hard worker can finally explain himself to the commander.

"Wash Governor Chen's body clean, buy a good coffin, put it in it, and then return to Shanghai with the army."

"As you command!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

During the twenty days of siege, the Confederate army officers and soldiers were doing nothing in the field all day long, and they were even more tired than fighting.

Now it's good, I can go back to the court.

…

night.

Hangzhou Fucheng is under martial law throughout the city.

The Li Mansion on the south bank of the West Lake is densely covered with internal and external guards.

Dongyuan Academy.

Li Cunzhi was circling anxiously indoors. In the large living room, an incandescent lamp was lit in the room. Maybe it was because of the low voltage, so the light seemed a little dim.

The dim light reflected on Li Cunzhi's face, making his originally majestic face look a bit ferocious and old.

Chen Tianhua himself led thousands of elite secret agents and took the Yangtze River fleet back to Chongming. He immediately marched to Shanghai and used both hard and soft methods to force Jiang Zunliang to surrender.

With a snap of his fingers, he had conquered Shanghai.

The only ones left are the Zhejiang Army in Zhejiang.

Most of the Zhejiang army is now concentrated around Hangzhou Prefecture, with only a small number of guards left in other prefectures.

Chen Tianhua's successor troops, Zeng Xin's cavalry division, are rushing to various prefectures in a sweeping manner, and under the orders of the Jiangnan Republican Army Headquarters, they are taking over the garrison in various places.

Those local garrison troops were frightened when faced with the arrival of powerful cavalry. They obediently opened the city gates, disarmed and accepted reorganization.

The three-party coalition forces of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong were defeated in Fujian by Chen Tianhua's main southern army. Among them, more than 28,000 Zhejiang troops led by Shibuya and Ding Jiu were completely wiped out.

As a result, the number of troops defending the city in Hangzhou was only 20,000. Even if the militia were organized into 40,000 troops, it would still not be enough for Chen Tianhua.

It is reported that Luo Longyun's ever-victorious army alone has 40,000 soldiers who have come from the Central Plains battlefield, and they are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles.

And Chen Tianhua's cavalry division from Fujian, plus the special agent group, as well as the Jiangsu Provincial Army, the East China Sea Fleet, the Yangtze River Fleet...

Thinking of this, Li Cunzhi felt dizzy, and there was a lawsuit on his forehead.

As for Mr. Yuan in the north, I heard that the main force of 200,000 in the Zhili area was all pinned down by the Northeast Army in the Shanhaiguan and Chengde Prefecture areas.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianhua made a brilliant move and adjusted the layout smoothly. After this combination of punches, the situation suddenly became clear.

In less than two months, the so-called internal strife and foreign troubles were eliminated, and even the Japanese did not dare to act rashly.

Countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Germany are increasingly leaning towards Chen Tianhua.

My own thoughts of using force to counter him, forcing him to step down or negotiate, are ultimately difficult to achieve.
