Chapter 119: One Mixed Association Changes to Another

The predecessors of the Zhejiang Governor's Office came and went.

The stone lion at the door and the walls can also be seen in the battle. Seven or eight masons on the left are repairing the holes. This is the scar left by Jiang Zhiqing leading the Huzhou gang vanguard team with more than 100 people. Now the number one thug under Chen Qimei has plundered back to Shanghai, but asked the Zhejiang Governor's Office to spend money to repair it.

Tao Chengzhang, the new Zhejiang Governor, changed his dress and his fake braid to revolve in his rebellion that night, was thrown into the brazier. After hundreds of years of restraint, he felt much more relaxed. After Huang Huagang's failure, he fled far away from Southeast Asia. He did not return to Zhejiang until the Wuchang Uprising was shot with gunshots and ran between Shanghai and Zhejiang.

Hubei was tied. After Xiaocangshan defeated a town in Beiyang, the siege of Nanjing was the biggest battle at present. Seeing that Nanjing was about to conquer, he most wanted to promote the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, so he set up a fundraising bureau in Shanghai, hoping to do his best to do his best for the **. Although he was determined to unite the Southern Army in various southern armies to fight the north as soon as possible, it was not easy to attack north. The most important problem was that a strong commander-in-chief was needed.

Now there are only a handful of people in the south who can have such ability. Huang Keqiang defeated Hubei. Alas... even many people in the association began to disbelief of his military capabilities. Cai Songpo was too far away in Yunnan, Li Liejun and Xu Guqing surrounded Nanjing. The young man in the upper reaches who had a hundred thousand National Defense Forces and had great military achievements was not from the Communist Party. The Restoration Association was no matter what, it was one of the Tongmenghui. Rascally electing him would definitely trigger a war of words. In that case, he might have internal friction before the Northern Expedition began, so he came here from Shanghai because there was a powerful man here.

The Restoration Association was a great hero who took over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so many people knew him, and he could hear greetings along the way, but he didn't have the time to greet him. After asking about the location, he hurried to the Military Affairs Department.

The fierce battle in Nanjing was about to be decided, and the Military Affairs Department was also extremely busy. The Zhejiang military staff were busy in the liberation meeting after a few days in the military uniform. But beside this busy scene, Jiang Fangzhen, who was shaved with his head and wearing Zhili military uniform, held the book with relish and ignored the scene before him, and even raised his eyelids.

Tao Chengzhang frowned. This person's arrogance is famous all over the world. After bringing back the saber given by the Japanese Emperor with the first place at the Japanese Hokkien School, he turned around and scolded the Japanese wolfish ambition. He also said that the two worst things that Chinese learn from Japan are politics and military. After this incident was exposed by the newspaper, it was said that it also aroused the anger of the Japanese Senate Council. As a result, he patted his butt and went to Germany. He also served as the company commander under a general named Hindenburg of the German Guard Division for several years.

After returning to China, he went to Fengjun first, and later transferred to the Imperial Guards to serve as a staff officer a few days ago. Looking at his current appearance, he obviously had an "old problem" again. With the deep "friendly" background between the Society and Japan, Tao Chengzhang felt at a loss as to whether he could be persuaded to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, so he could only grit his teeth and call out: "Brother Baili."

"Brother Huanqing?" The two had had a relationship in Japan, so Jiang Fangzhen immediately recognized the famous leader of the Resurrection Association, put down the book and smiled: "What wind blows you?"

"It's not for you, Brother Baili."

"For me?" Jiang Fangzhen looked around and smiled, "Huanqing was not trying to make me happy, right? Now Jiangsu and Zhejiang are cleared, and four people attack Nanjing. Liberation is just around the corner. Baili is still thinking about going home to farm, so why do you want me to do?"

Jiang Fangzhen had a hint of resentment in his speech. After hearing that after the Wuchang Uprising, he immediately went south secretly and joined the Zhejiang Army. He wanted to do something, but he didn't expect that even the most important Nanjing War would leave him outside, but instead let those party members who didn't know anything fight in front of him. He had said this many times to Zhejiang Governor Tang Shouqian, but he was either Gu Zuoyan or asked him to help him in political affairs, so he had long wanted to go back to the north.

Tao Chengzhang heard a little and smiled and said, "I'm here to invite Brother Baili to come out. Nanjing is about to be revived. After taking Nanjing, the Soviet-Zhejiang-Shanghai-Shanghai coalition forces are going north to Xuzhou. Seeing that the Northern Expedition is about to be imminent, today I specially invite Brother Baili to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition."

Commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition? Jiang Fangzhen curled his lips contemptuously: "Brother Huanqing, can you decide this? You convinced people like Shanghai Governor Chen Yingshi and Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan? Do you know what kind of army is in Beiyang? If you want to succeed in the Northern Expedition, you need at least 100,000 elite troops. If you can take out 100,000 military expenses, Baili is willing to try it."

Tao Chengzhang's face froze and he laughed dryly: "It's true that Brother Baili has lived in the north for a long time, but you don't have to increase your ambitions, right? Chengzhang knew that Beiyang was a strong army, but he still failed in Hubei? Since Hubei can do it, why can't we fight in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai?"

Jiang Fangzhen said without hesitation, "Who can you compare with Yang Qiu in Hubei? Seeing that he gave up betting against Feng Huafu head-on, he can see that this person is extraordinary. The eight towns in his hand were the first in the Southern Army. Before the war, he purchased so many heavy machine guns and light machine and fast cannons. How could it be compared with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai? If he hadn't led Hubei to delay the two towns and three assisted Beiyang Army, Nanjing would have the chance to attack?"

"Brother Baili doesn't need to inspire me to be the first in the Southern Army of the Eight Towns and is known as the Flying Tiger. I admit this, but I, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, may not lose to them. Not to mention that Xu Guqing's ninth town has revolted, and the Zhejiang New Army is also a long-term training army. With so many passionate men, can't we fight?"

"Listen to Huanqing's meaning." Jiang Fangzhen's hand holding the book froze: "......The number of veteran soldiers in the Northern Expedition is not enough, so we have to let the new recruits take over?"

"What's wrong?" Tao Chengzhang didn't notice his expression change. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Fangzhen throwing the book hard on the table and said coldly: "Hot blood? Can passionate blood be more powerful than machine gun bayonets? Can the Beiyang insidious tactics? How many Chinese men have to sacrifice for your passion?" These loud questions made the staff room silent. Everyone stopped their lives, looking at the first of the three heroes of Lu Shi, with both admiration and disdain in their eyes, and more of a confusion about modern warfare.

Jiang Fangzhen never cared about how many pairs of eyes were around, otherwise he would not have scolded Japan back then, nor would he care about Tao Chengzhang's already dark face, and said with a heartache: "The ten new and four elders are a word summarized by the German Army after the end of the Franco-Prussian War. It means that recruits who are hasty to fight. Even if they can defeat the enemy, only four out of ten people can come back. So after that, the German Army forcibly stipulated the 24-week training regulations for recruits, and established a national training system from young to young people. It is necessary to let the recruits understand what war is and teach them the ability to survive by defeating the enemy.

Since you just mentioned Hubei, have you analyzed how Yang Qiu did it? After flying to block Wusheng Pass, he immediately launched a northward advance to recruit veterans to train troops. He only released the checkpoint when it was almost done. Before leaving, he deliberately set up an ambush to severely damage the morale of Beiyang. When Feng Huafu divided his troops, he did not pull the Hankou recruits and the Fourth Hunan Division up. Why? Because pulling the recruits up under Feng Huafu's pressure would only cause greater losses, so he simply set up defenses layer by layer to exchange for time. Unfortunately, he met someone who had never even fought and almost ruined the good situation..."

Tao Chengzhang was originally straightforward. When he was in Japan, he scolded Chen Qimei for eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling in front of Sun Yat-sen. Not long ago, he even scolded him for leading the Huzhou Gang to cause trouble and usurp the post of Shanghai Governor. The two of them formed a deep bond. So when they heard this, they stood up: "Brother Baili was unwilling to lead the army to the northern expedition, so why do you have to find so many excuses? I thought the three masters of Lu Shi were so great, and today it seems that they were just showing off their verbalism."

His temperament made Jiang Fang laugh and said, "Cai Songpo is also a three-strong man, why don't you look for him? Zhang Xiaozhun is coming back soon, and he can also command troops. But if I want me to take charge of the army, I will give 100,000 veterans and tens of millions of military funds first. All troops must obey the orders. If you can do it, you may not be able to try it."

"Nonsense, if I could take out these, I would go up by myself." Tao Chengzhang said that, and then walked out. At this time, Zhejiang Governor Tang Shouqian walked in with a young officer wearing a sandy yellow khaki uniform.

The unique military uniform attracted a moment of gaze. Tang Shouqian saw Jiang Fangzhen and immediately pointed to the young man behind him and smiled, "Baili, I have brought you an old friend."

Old friend? Jiang Fangzhen swept away the young man, and the latter saluted with his feet: "Qiu Heng, a trainee in the General Logistics Department of the National Defense Forces, has met Mr. Baili."

He was talking about the National Defense Force just now, but he didn't expect that the other person would come in front of him. Tao Chengzhang, who was about to leave, stopped secretly in surprise. Jiang Fangzhen was even more confused. He thought for a while and asked, "Is it Yue Peng who asked you to come?"

"No," the second lieutenant took out a letter and said: "It was the commander and the chief of staff who asked me to meet Mr. Baili. This is the handwritten letter from the chief of staff to you."

"Song Ziqing? Isn't he afraid of me scolding me?" Jiang Fangzhen said to himself and opened the letter and smiled bitterly, "When is Baili so popular?" Tao Chengzhang stepped forward and saw that in addition to the old reminiscence words of recruitment, the letter also specifically stated that Yang Qiu invited him to serve as the chief teacher of Hubei Army University and suddenly thought to himself that it was not good. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu sent someone as soon as he was rejected, and from the words just now, Jiang Fangzhen obviously admired the National Defense Forces very much.

Although he was scolded just now, those words were correct when he thought about it carefully. The Soviet-Zhejiang-Shanghai-Shanghai coalition seemed to have strong forces, but after fighting for so long, he had not taken Nanjing. Instead, he asked for help from Li Liejun, Jiangxi and Hu Hanmin, Guangdong. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness is different, let alone how to be willing to do it with Jiang Fangzhen's arrogant personality.

Jiang Fangzhen put the letter in his pocket, looked at Tang Shouqian and asked, "What the governor meant is that he would like to let me go to Hubei?"

Tang Shouqian had long wanted to send this great god away. To put it bluntly, it was difficult to arrange it. The official too much novel could not pass, and the official too high could not control it. Moreover, the price offered by Yang Qiu this time is really unstoppable. A full preparation for the Zhejiang Army, which lacks military equipment, is simply a timely help. But he couldn't ask someone to leave in person, and smiled and said, "Baili should make his own decision. It would be better to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the great man when he went there."

When Tao Chengzhang heard this, he hurriedly said, "How can the governor say this? Brother Baili is a rare talent. It is a great blessing to be able to come to Zhejiang. How can you give up and push it out?"

Tang Shouqian was speechless, but Jiang Fangzhen actually wanted to go back to the north, so it would be okay to invite Hubei to come and have a look. Anyway, he really didn't want to see the chaos in Jiangsu and Zhejiang anymore, so he simply asked: "Governor, Baili only asked one thing. Besides this letter, what else did Yang Qiu bring?"

"Well..." Tang Shouqian rubbed his hands and laughed dryly before he finished speaking. Second Lieutenant Qiu Heng saluted: "Report to Mr. Baili, the commander asked me to bring 24 cannons, 4,000 rifles, 100,000 bullets and three machine guns to help the Zhejiang Army. I hope I can take Nanjing as soon as possible to discuss the Northern Expedition."

"A mixed association and another person... I'm really willing to do it." Jiang Fangzhen murmured to himself, and asked the second lieutenant: "Your standing posture is very standard, is it Yue Peng or Song Ziqing trained?"

"It's the commander"

After Jiang Fangzhen asked, he didn't agree or not. He turned around and returned to the small room next door. He quickly picked up his suitcase and walked out. Tao Chengzhang was so anxious that he went to see Tang Shouqian when he saw that he had no reaction. After seeing that he stopped him and said, "Brother Baili, are you really going to Hubei?"

Jiang Fangzhen glanced at the lieutenant with a straight posture and was very straightforward: "I'm going to go, not to reminisce about the past, but to curse people."
