The publication of the "Sun Wen Yuefei Declaration" and the "Joint Statement of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" immediately caused the greatest shock in China. If the most powerful weapon for Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang to fight against the Beiyang government in the past few years was the Congress and the "Provisional Constitution". Then now, Sun Yat-sen completely threw away his last disguise and went to the military and political line! If the previous "unilateral autonomy and peaceful reunification" were the last glimmer of hope for democratic constitutionalism in China, or the "literati-doctor" class, then now, their hope has completely transformed into disappointment, and a feeling of being abandoned and betrayed. Opposition to the cooperation between the National Government and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has also suddenly become louder. The gentry of China seems to have united around the Beiyang government overnight, preparing to flood the National Government that Fujian and Guangdong with articles or spit.

In fact, in history, when Sun Yat-sen was preparing to cooperate with GCD and the Soviet Union, the mainstream society in China was also full of opposition, and even within the Kuomintang, there were more opponents than supporters. However, in this time and space, the situation was slightly different.

Those who opposed the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in history, such as Xie Chi, Zou Lu, Hu Hanmin, etc., probably understood the actual situation of "Fujian's implementation of GCism", felt that those methods were completely within their acceptable range, and saw the benefits of cooperation between the two parties, so they did not publicly sing a counter-tune with Sun Yat-sen.

However, other more powerful figures from the Kuomintang or the Southwest side raised the banner of opposing Sun Yat-sen at this time. Chen Jiongming, who was negotiating with Liang Qichao in Shanghai, resolutely issued a telegram on the day he saw these two statements, and announced the establishment of a China Zhigong Party, which aims to promote local autonomy and implement democratic constitutionalism. It soon received responses and joining from powerful factions such as Sichuan Governor Xiong Kewu, Yunnan Governor Tang Jiyao, Guizhou Governor Liu Shixian, and Guangdong and Guangxi Inspection Commander Lu Rongting.

The Beijing government also seized the opportunity to extend an olive branch to these original opposition parties, and appointed Tang Jiyao as the inspector of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and also granted a short Guangdong governor to Chen Jiongming, and the Fujian governor to Sa Zhenbing, who left Mawei and went north after the confluence of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It was considered that the Fujian people had governed Fujian.

As for the military siege, everything is ready, and the east wind is already in the face of the east wind. This east wind is the loan from the great powers' syndicate. After the Beiyang government announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and tore up the Sino-Russian New Testament, British Minister Eston moved into the Consulate General in Tianjin, and negotiated with the senior members of HSBC and McGalley Bank to use the Beijing-Hankou Railway and the commercial tax mortgage loans between Beijing and Tianjin. It was just a matter of being organized for a long time, but there was no further information.

It turned out that the National Government jointly organized by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party issued a power immediately as soon as it was listed. It announced that any unequal treaties and loan contracts signed by the Beiyang government and the imperialist countries in the future will be invalid! The National Government does not recognize them and will not be responsible for repayment! And those British banks are all "private institutions", and their senior teams serve shareholders, not for the imperial government! For such transactions that may be borrowed or paid, they must think twice.

The British banks refused to borrow money, so the Beiyang government naturally had no money to pay the troops below. The Beiyang soldiers did not want to get the money and of course they refused to fight.

The Kuomintang and the Communist Party on the other side seemed to have no intention of expeditioning the Central Plains, but were busy sorting out their internal affairs.

The first thing is to establish the government. Chen Duxiu from Zhongg became the prime minister of the National Government as he wished! The vice premier was Xie Chi of the Kuomintang. Li Dazhao stayed behind by Chang Ruiqing and did not return to Beijing. Instead, he stayed in Guangdong and became the Minister of Labor of the National Government. It seems that he would not be killed by Zhang Yushuai like in history. The famous reporter Shao Piaoping in history also joined the National Government and became the Minister of Propaganda.

As for Comrade Mao, because of Chang Ruiqing's opposition, he did not become the peasant minister of the National Government as he wished. However, he took on a more important mission - party building! Chen Duxiu, who became the prime minister, naturally had a lot of things to do and no longer had the energy to manage party affairs. This burden fell on Mao, who is the Minister of the Central Organization of the Central G. It is estimated that it will not take long for him to be the chairman of the Party of China! While taking charge of party affairs, Mao also had to take into account the work of the coal mine workers' uprising in Anyuan. After the establishment of the National Government, he was almost Guangzhou, and Anyuan ran away from both ends. He was very busy.

The Minister of Farmers of the National Government and Chairman of the China Fisheries and Farmers Association was appointed to Pan Yucheng. By the way, he, a big landlord and big capitalist, is now a glorious Chinese GCD member! Well, this kind of thing seems to be nothing strange to our Changda Revolutionary, and he will be seen a lot in later generations!

Zhang Junmai, another general of Chang Ruiqing's civil service system, served as the governor of Fujian, but he did not join the G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National G-China National

As for other ministers of the National Government and the Guangdong Governor, they were all appointed by the Kuomintang figures, including the Guangdong Governor Hu Hanmin, the Finance Minister Liao Zhongkai, the Education Minister Zou Lu, the Industry and Commerce Minister Deng Zeru, and the Transportation Minister is also a veteran of the Kuomintang Shi Ying.

In addition to establishing the National Government, another major event for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is to form the National Revolutionary Army! This army was formed based on the original Law Guardian Army and the Fujian Army. The highest command organization is the Revolutionary Military Commission, with a total of ten members, namely Sun Yat-sen, Chang Ruiqing, Chen Duxiu, Xu Chongzhi, Wang Yaqiao, Jiang JShi, Hu Hanmin, Bai Chongxi, Zhu Peide, and Zhou Elai who was carrying huge sums of money on his way back to China!

Chang Ruiqing's current position is the vice chairman and army minister, as well as the principal of the Central Military Academy! The campus of this Central Military Academy is outside Guangzhou City, inside the former Huangpu Army Primary School on Changzhou Island, which is almost the historical Whampoa Military Academy! The vice principal of the military academy is Jiang JShi, the deputy chief of the Army. In addition, the deputy chief of the military committee, Xu Chongzhi and Bai Chongxi respectively were appointed.

At noon that day, Jiang JShi quickly walked into the office of the Chief General of the Army Department of Chang Ruiqing. Over the past period of time, they have been probably the hardest-working figures in China! The Army Department is mainly responsible for military and political affairs for the expansion of troops. The task of the General Staff is to train the troops and formulate combat plans after the expansion of a large number of troops. The current general combat ideas of the National Revolutionary Army were formulated by Chang Ruiqing. They are not elite military ideology, nor are they firepower winning, or the tactics of the sea of ​​people!

Preparation to maximize the advantages of the National Government in mobilization and organization, and form an unprecedented revolutionary army, relying on a large number of people to overwhelm the opponent! However, it is much more complicated to realize the human wave tactics. This involves the establishment of a national mobilization system. The establishment of a large number of shelf troops, the recruitment and training of tens of thousands of officers and non-commissioned officers, as well as the production, procurement and reserve of various military supplies. Chang Ruiqing, as the actual manager of this huge revolutionary army, is unprecedented in the current heavy responsibility and pressure.

Fortunately, the military component of the Kuomintang system is much purer than in history, and the former guardian army did not have much of the warlords. Moreover, the generals of the Kuomintang, led by Xu Chongzhi, Jiang JShi and Zhu Peide, were also aware of the critical situation at the moment, and they were able to unite with Chang Ruiqing and put their main thoughts on military construction. Therefore, the construction of the entire National Revolutionary Army was progressing smoothly as planned.

Chang Ruiqing was looking at a report on the "Dian-Guangxi Alliance" sent by Ren Yijiang, director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Army, and heard Jiang JShi's Ningbo Mandarin yelling at the door: "Mom Xipi! These Guangxi guys are really ignorant of the current affairs!"

Chang Ruiqing shook his head and stood up with a bitter smile. He happened to see Jiang JShi walking into the door with a gloomy face. Chang Ruiqing nodded to him slightly: "What's wrong? All the lobbyists sent to Guangxi have been driven back?"

Jiang JShi pulled a chair and sat opposite Chang Ruiqing, picked up the documents on the desk, glanced slightly, and sneered: "No wonder these Guangxi monkeys are so tough. It turns out that Tang Jiyao, the ambitious man, is supporting them! Yaoru. See if we should send troops to the west to eliminate the disasters such as Lu Rongting and Tan Haoming, and establish authority by the way, let those people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan see how powerful our National Revolutionary Army is?"

Chang Ruiqing just smiled undeniably at Jiang JShi's words. He still has a full understanding of his current position. His prestige in the National Revolutionary Army cannot be compared with that in the Fujian Army before. The Fujian Army was a private soldier established by himself, while the National Revolutionary Army was jointly organized with Sun Yat-sen. Those old people from the Kuomintang system in it were convinced by him and only then would they be devils! Therefore, his first priority is to establish prestige, and the best way for soldiers to establish their authority is to win battles!

From this perspective, advancing to Guangxi is really an opportunity to establish prestige, but the premise must be a complete victory! If he suffers a defeat, his vice chairman of the Military Commission might be the end, right? It is not so easy to ensure victory. Although Chen Jiongming's 25,000 Guangdong troops in history defeated the Gui army, which was known as 100,000 without much effort. But that was based on the large number of main forces of the Gui army. At present, the representatives sent by the National Government to lobby the Gui army were all disappointed.

Moreover, the other end of Beiyang is also planning to fight south. The three divisions of their participating troops and Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade have already entered Hunan! If the Eighth Division, which was originally in Hunan, retreated to the Third Division, the Seventh Division, and the Twelfth Division in Jiangxi, Beiyang can now use troops to attack Guangdong at any time, and the Central Army alone has as many as seven divisions and one Mixed Brigade! Although the military pay in Beiyang is not settled now, it should not be possible to fight a big battle, but who can guarantee that the Beijing government will not be able to raise money?

In addition, this time, the Fourth Army of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou seem to have become a force. If they lead their troops into Guangxi, the Sichuan Army will not say that the Second Army of Yunnan and Guizhou will inevitably come out to help Guangxi, and the current Yunnan Army is still a powerful force!

With the above reasons combined, our Changda Military strategists inevitably had to act cautiously. Just as he was thinking about how to find an excuse to postpone the battle of attacking Guangxi, he heard Jiang JShi's Ningbo Mandarin sound again.

"Yaoru, I just came back from my husband's office. My husband was furious about Guangxi's affairs! I've already started to attack Guangxi..."

Chang Ruiqing's evaluation of Chiang Kai-shek's ability to figure out Sun Yat-sen's thoughts is equivalent to a worm in Sun Yat-sen's belly! Since sending troops to Guangxi was his "expected order", Chang Ruiqing had to obey... Anyway, this great revolutionary has not been alive for a few years. Chang Ruiqing does not plan to be Chen Jiongming's second place.

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang JShi and slowly discussed with him the matter of sending troops to Guangxi.

The current National Revolutionary Army has already been equipped with a large number, with 8 armies and 24 divisions! However, all divisions are unsatisfied divisions, with less than 5,000 people, and both officers and soldiers are short of training. The artillery equipment is even less than pitiful. All division-level units do not have direct artillery, and only the army's direct troops have an artillery battalion equipped with eight 75mm wild mountain cannons. In addition, there is an artillery division directly under the Military Commission. It is equipped with 72 75mm caliber Japanese mountain cannons, with Cai Zhonghu of Chang Ruiqing system as the division commander.

However, such strength is more than enough to deal with the Gui army expanded from the patrol battalion in Lu Rongting. Even if Tang Jiyao and Liu Shixian send reinforcements, they should be able to deal with it. The only trouble is the main force of the Beiyang Army, which is stationed in the two lakes. Will they watch the main force of the National Revolutionary Army's expedition to Guangxi in the west?

Jiang JShi sat on the chair, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He raised his head and was about to say something, when he heard a report from a duck voice outside the door. It was Meng Li, the chief of staff of the Red Brigade. This Red Brigade is a relatively special existence within the National Government system and has not yet been merged into the system of the Intelligence Bureau of the Army Department... This lawless organization, even if Chang Ruiqing was willing to let go, the Military Commission of the National Government would not dare to accept it. After taking it, it would not really recruit the imperialist interference army to Guangzhou? Therefore, this organization is not clearly located there. It is directly commanded by Chang Ruiqing. As for the activities of the Red Brigade, it comes from the shares of Bank of China and Zhong** Industrial Corporation. These properties are not included in the names of the Fujian Army and the Fujian Provincial Government, but are held by a special foundation and directly controlled by Chang Ruiqing!

After entering the office, Meng Li nodded slightly at Chang Ruiqing and Jiang JShi, and then quietly found a chair to sit down. Jiang JShi smiled awkwardly and was about to get up and say goodbye. Chang Ruiqing waved his hand: "Brother Jieshi, let's listen together." As he said that, he winked at Meng Li.

Meng Li took out a document from his bag he carried with him and handed it to Chang Ruiqing, whispering: "Yaogong, it's news from Manchuria. Next Monday, a train full of 1,200 tons of ammunition and a small amount of firearms will set off from Vladivostok. He drove through the Middle East Railway to Chita in Russia to help the White Army there. It is reported that these ammunitions are part of the arms purchased by Belarus from Japan! Do we want to..."

Jiang JShi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know much about the layout of the Red Brigade in Manchuria, nor did he know the agreement between Chang Ruiqing and the Soviet Union in this regard. He hurriedly asked Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, what's going on? We also have people in the northeast?"

Chang Ruiqing nodded, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Jieshi, look at this too." Then he handed over the document in his hand: "Wu Yuxun and Guo Maochen were hosting in Manchuria, recruiting some bandits, and some people from the Dahan Restoration Association also joined us. The total force is about 1,500, and there are about 1,000 guns at the moment. It is not necessarily enough to attack a county town, but it is probably not difficult to rob a train? I just don't know if the train will cause any big trouble to our Beijing government after robbing the train?"

"Big trouble?" Jiang JShi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned to understand what Chang Ruiqing meant. He smiled and waved his hand: "It must be troublesome to rob an arms train, but it will not cause the Beiyang government to be in chaos. After all, the Russians are now phoenixes with hair loss, and Britain, the United States and France do not take them for a while. The money should be collected when Japanese arms were transported to Vladivostok. It has little to do with them if they are robbed on the ground in China. If Brother Yaoru wants to make things worse and make the Beiyang government exhausted, it is best to rob people! Especially the British, American and French expatriates, if they can kidnap dozens of them, it may be a big mess in Beiyang, and I can also be assured to lead troops to pacify Guangxi!"

With a bang, Chang Ruiqing slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Brother Jieshi's method is better, kidnap hostages!" He attacked Meng Li: "All countries have been evacuating overseas Chinese from Russia during this period. You ask Manchuria to inquire whether anyone has evacuated to Vladivostok via the Middle East Road. You must find a way to rob dozens of hostages, and European and Americans... It is best to find the right time to take hostages and robbing arms together! There is a big robbery on the Middle East Road!"

At this time, Chang Ruiqing had already remembered the Lincheng train robbery that happened in 1923 in history! Was it because more than 20 foreign hostages were kidnapped by Shandong bandits, and a huge chaos occurred. The Beiyang government even stopped all the important matters and tried its best to resolve the robbery. In the end, although the hostage crisis was resolved, Shandong Governor Tanaka Yu also stepped down. I wonder if this time, can also oust the Heilongjiang or Jilin governor be replaced by Wu Peifu... (To be continued...)
