For a whole month, although the Confederate army forced the enemy back hundreds of miles, the actual results achieved were very few.

We fought for a whole month and occupied a lot of territory, but we did not eliminate much of the enemy's effective strength.

It seems that the enemy has become cunning and they are playing mobile warfare with the Confederate army.

The winter months are approaching soon, and the weather is gradually getting colder.

In the early morning, when Chen Tianhua walked out of the warm tent, the biting cold wind made him shiver. The flying pigeons behind him hurriedly came over to cover him with furs.

Chen Tianhua rubbed his hands and asked, "How are the soldiers feeling? In such a cold weather, don't freeze your body!"

Fei Ge smiled and said: "Commander, please rest assured. It's not like you don't know the equipment of our Southern Army. A few days ago, gloves, hoods, brand-new cotton-padded jackets, and quilts have been distributed. Now our soldiers, except

two eyes outside

, the rest are covered tightly, it will freeze there. Besides, we are in the Qinmeng Mountains. On this mountain, there are endless trees for warmth. Although the weather is indeed quite bitter, it is not good for us.

It doesn’t have any impact at all.”

Chen Tianhua nodded happily. His investment in the army has always been quite generous.

"Commander, this kind of weather is actually more favorable to us. I see, it's hard to say how much combat strength the enemy opposite us has left. Why don't we take this opportunity to fight that son of a bitch!"

Chen Tianhua smiled, stamped his feet, jumped on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"We continued to fight forward, but the depression was too deep. I was worried about what happened in the Jiangnan area. I was forcing them to take action and exposed their ugly faces so that I could make up my mind."

Oh, Fei Ge finally understood. It turned out that the beating of Zhang Huaizhi was not serious. The purpose was to make the enemies in Jiangnan jump out and show themselves.

…

Late October, Shanghai City God Temple Hall of Fame.

In Private Room 001 on the second floor, eight special guests were welcomed, a total of six men and two women.

In the inner wing of the private room, a carved screen stood against the door, and Chen Qimei and Guangdong representative Zhang Zhiqun sat opposite each other by the window.

Ye Mingyan and Zhang Zhiqun's personal secretary, Miss Liu, were at the side table, while two of Zhang Zhiqun's entourages were standing guard outside the room, as were Chen Qimei's two bodyguards.

In fact, this is Chen Qimei's territory. There is no need for bodyguards. This is just a show.

The waiter brought the top-quality West Lake Longjing tea to the table. Chen Qimei signaled that she wanted to talk about something and not to interrupt.

The waiter exited knowingly and closed the door gently.

Ye Mingyan guest-starred as a waiter, personally holding a pot and pouring tea.

She has a special status today. She is not only the intermediary between representatives from Guangdong and Shanghai, but also Chen Qimei's temporary female secretary.

The best West Lake Longjing, the tea soup is light in color, pleasantly green, and has a quiet flavor.

Zhang Zhiqun picked up the cup, blew lightly, sipped the tea, and said calmly in Cantonese:

"Mr. Yingshi, in terms of cooperation between Guangdong and Shanghai, progress has been slow in the past two years, and some detours have been taken. This has offended the general. Please forgive me, Mr. Yingshi!"

"Oh, General Counselor, there is no need to say more. This misunderstanding and grievance is nothing to mention! As the saying goes, 'If you don't fight, you won't know each other, and you will know your strength when you go a long way!' We brothers are also working hard for the sake of national justice and the great cause of the country!"

Chen Qimei's opening remarks during the meeting were very high-sounding.

"Good! Mr. Yingshi said it very well. We are all wise people and should put aside our past grudges and move forward together for the sake of national rejuvenation!"

Zhang Zhiqun was in high spirits. He raised his tea cup and said: "I propose that we use tea instead of wine as our common goal and work together to cheers!"

"Cheers! Let's work together!"

After drinking tea, Zhang Zhiqun put down the empty cup, looked at Chen Qimei with a smile and said:

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's look forward to the future. Let's get straight to the point and just talk about the present and the future. How about that?"

"Of course, everything depends on you, General Counselor." Chen Qimei wanted to know the sincerity of the senior leaders of the Southern Party at this moment.

"The Southern Party and the Guangdong Army unanimously decided that as long as Mr. Yingshi is willing to support us, the Shanghai Army will be transformed into the Third Army of the Shanghai-Guangdong Allied Forces. Mr. Yingshi will be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Army Navy and Army. For the first time, he will provide military pay of one million taels of silver. A batch of

Arms, three warships were sent to the Shanghai military dock." After Zhang Zhiqun finished speaking, he turned to the female secretary and said in a low voice: "Secretary Liu..."

Secretary Liu took out a copy of the document from his briefcase and presented it to Chen Qimei. It had the official seals of the Southern Party and the Cantonese Army, as well as the autographs of the principal responsible persons.

Chen Qimei took the copy of the document with both hands and felt relieved after reading it. She was very grateful to the Guangdong party and the military for their generosity, which fully reflected the sincerity and determination of this cooperation.

One million taels of silver military pay, a batch of munitions, and three warships, these are what he urgently needs recently.

Since Chen Tianhua's Southern Army blocked Wusongkou, all overseas trade of the Shanghai Army has been severely cut off, and military pay and military expenditures have been stretched thin.

In addition to military spending, of course there are also arms.

Fortunately, Chen Tianhua has taken care of Shanghai flawlessly these years. In addition, Chen Qimei has also been quiet for a few years and is not as rampant as before. Mainly because she does not have the strength.

"I would like to thank the senior leaders of the Party and the Guangdong Army for their great love for the Shanghai Army and myself. I accept this condition!" Chen Qimei smiled with warm eyes.

"That's great. From now on, we in Guangdong and Shanghai are one family. Let me first introduce the general situation of the Guangdong army and the next action plan, and then listen to the governor's eloquent advice." Zhang Zhiqun.

He was in high spirits and the negotiation went very smoothly.

"The General Counsel is just joking! If I have any lofty opinions, please introduce them first, and then we will figure out how the Shanghai army can cooperate."

Zhang Zhiqun took a sip of tea, nodded and smiled, saying:

"Currently, the Guangdong army is divided into the navy and the army. The navy has more than 20 large and small ships, most of which are British-made small cruisers, battleships, offshore gunboats, etc."

"The Army has five integrated divisions, with about 80,000 combat troops, about 100,000 reserve troops, and 30,000 logistics troops."

"Next step, the Guangdong army is going to march to Fujian and Jiangxi first. We hope that you and the Zhejiang army will open a second battlefield from northern Fujian. In this way, the Guangdong and Shanghai armies will form a north-south pincer attack and force the Fujian army to surrender as soon as possible."

"After occupying Fujian, the coalition forces immediately launched attacks in Jiangxi, southern Hunan and other places. We also hope to attack from the north and the south, so that they can sweep across the southern region with lightning speed, leaving Chen Tianhua with no time to react."

Chen Qimei listened and kept nodding her head in agreement.

Now Chen Tianhua's main force is involved in the Central Plains battlefield and the southeastern Shandong battlefield. Once the south starts a war, he will not be able to escape from the north.

If Li Pinzhang's Zhejiang Army can also mobilize together, then the revolutionary situation in the south will be great.

"Mr. General Counselor, my Shanghai army currently has 20,000 regular troops, but I can quickly expand it to about 35,000 and use the territory of Zhejiang Province to attack northern Fujian. There is no problem. If the Zhejiang army participates, then

Better." Chen Qimei introduced the situation of the Shanghai army.

"Okay, this matter is settled. Negotiations with General Li Pinzhang of the Zhejiang Army are also underway at Gongchen Bridge in Hangzhou. I believe that the next step is to unite Guangdong, Shanghai and Zhejiang. The revolutionary situation will be great," Zhang Zhiqun said excitedly.

said.
