Chapter 87 Collusion in the Engagement Ceremony

Please collect, please votes from Sanjiang, and also recommend. Well, I have a lot of money, and I will pay for it. Today is the fourth update!

·······

Just when Wu Shi, Chang Ruiyuan and Zhang Wensheng were bargaining and discussing the big business of buying and selling the army, there was also a deal in the lounge on the second floor of St. Joseph's Cathedral.

Inside the room, there were two cups of fragrant tea. Chang Ruiqing and Jiang JShi sat opposite each other, holding the tea cup and chatting and laughing in a low voice.

Jiang JShi was straightforward and told his intentions as soon as he came up. He was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to join the party. He could join the revolutionary party or the Kuomintang, or even win-win cooperation. The condition is to use the power of the revolutionary party and the Kuomintang to help Chang Ruiqing gain a foothold in the south.

Seeing that the opponent showed his trump card as soon as he came up, Chang Ruiqing stopped beating around the bush. In fact, although he was a red revolutionary, he did not exclude the Kuomintang. Especially now, the Kuomintang's strength is in the rising period, and Sun Yat-sen will soon be able to use the Law Protection War to establish his own armed forces - the Guangdong Army is here. And the first target of this Guangdong Army in history is Fujian Province! If his soldiers really arrive in Fujian, they will most likely be sent by Li Houji to resist the Kuomintang's Guangdong Army's invasion. Maybe it will be a situation where both sides suffer losses.

And even if he lucky enough to defeat the Guangdong Army, the Guangxi Army, and the Yunnan Army? A large number of Beiyang giants are still waiting to be resettled. The governors in Guangdong and Guangxi are not his turn. They just send them to the ends of the world (Hainan Island) and other places to be a guard! This is a bit far from being awakened to the power of the world.

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing gently turned the teacup in his hand and said carefully: "It's easy to join the Democratic Party, but it's innocence. My brothers joined the Tongmenghui when they joined the Student Army in 1911 and became a believer of Mr. Sun early in the morning. My brothers also agreed with Mr. Sun's Three Principles of the People."

Jiang JShi smiled and said to himself: "I believe in everything! He is a socialist, a socialist, a Three Principles of the People, or a ‘pious’ Catholic, uh, he is such a genius!"

Chang Ruiqing paused and continued: "This battle between the north and the south, the Northern Army will launch at the same time in three aspects, namely Sichuan, Hunan, and the troops from Fujian to Guangdong. The main battlefield will be in Hunan. Duan Zhiquan's plan is to remove Tan Zu'an (Tan Yankai) from Hunan to serve as the governor, and to appoint Fu Qingjie (Fu Liangzuo), who is also from Hunan, as the governor, and to send northern troops into Hunan at the same time!"

Jiang JShi frowned slightly, and his face became solemn. At this time, Hunan did not belong to the southwest camp, but acted as a buffer between the two armies of the north and the south in the name of autonomy. For this reason, Lu Rongting, the inspector of Guangdong and Guangxi, had an agreement between Lu Rongting and Feng Guozhang, who had already become the president. Moreover, Hunan's governor Tan Yankai was not good at commanding troops, and Hunan's military strength was not strong, so it was impossible to resist the invasion of the Northern Army. Once the Beiyang side took action, the Guizhou and Yunnan armies in the southwest would inevitably go north to aid Hunan, and a war between the north and the south would inevitably be inevitable.........

For Sun Yat-sen's camp, such a situation is not a rare opportunity. On the one hand, the Guangxi warlords who ruled Guangdong and Guangxi felt the threat of the Northern Army and would inevitably strengthen cooperation with the Kuomintang and the revolutionary Party, which gave Sun Yat-sen the opportunity to organize the Guangdong Army. On the other hand, the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong under Li Liejun would inevitably be sent north by Lu Rongting, and might be able to create a piece of territory in Hunan! Of course, the premise of all this is that the southwest can win the battle of the North and South.

"But Brother Jie doesn't need to worry." Seeing Jiang JS, Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "I believe Brother Jie knows the situation in Beiyang, it's completely a mess... Duan Zhiquan's military unification is actually unpopular within Beiyang! Everyone knows that when the hills in the southwest are flattened, they will be reduced in the next place. Duan Zhi is the first to fight against foreign countries and then settle the country, which is really a taboo in military strategists."

Hearing Chang Ruiqing's words, Jiang JShi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The Beiyang is not in harmony, but how good is the southwest? Isn't it the same mess?"

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and nodded. The southwest was indeed messy, but when the enemy was in front of him, he would naturally be more united, while the heroes of Beiyang were busy grabbing territory. Who would be willing to take action seriously?

"Brother Yaoru, you are Xu Shuzheng's confidant. This time you should send troops to Hunan, right?" Jiang JShi thought for a while and said, "The situation in Hunan is complicated. The local soldiers are very strong. It is also a must-fight for the north and south to fight. I am afraid it will be difficult for Brother Yaoru to find a foothold, right?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled and waved his hand: "Brothers won't go to Hunan, I'm not hiding it. I think I'm going to Fujian this time! I wonder if Brother Jie has any way to help his brother build up his fortune?"

"Fujian?" Jiang JShi nodded slowly: "Zhiqing's righteous brother Xu Ruwei has some old friends in Fujian. There are also many followers of Mr. Sun in the Fujian Navy. If we combine our two families, we should be able to gain a foothold in Fujian. However......"

Chang Ruiqing looked at Jiang JShi sincerely and said word by word: "In order to help his brothers take Fujian, brothers help Xu Ru to win Guangdong! How about it?"

······

When Chang Ruiqing and Jiang JShi quietly left the lounge one after another and came to the church hall, many guests had already arrived. They were mainly famous gentry in Beijing and Tianjin, and Chang Ruiqing's cheap parents were smiling and greeting him.

The car Wang Ruonan was already in there, and a bunch of little loli went to the dressing room that was temporarily prepared by the church. Bishop Du Paul from the Catholic Church also walked into the church in a robe and a crown of the Frenchman, who was a big-bellied Frenchman from Schneider's foreign company. Chang Ruiqing walked over with a smile, exchanged greetings with the two Frenchman for a while, and finally exchanged business cards with Bloom's senior... The world war ended in 1918. I don't know if I could buy some discounted second-hand guns from the Frenchman?

As time was approaching noon, the real big shots in the Beiyang system finally began to show up. The first one to arrive was Zhang Wensheng, who probably sold the ten battalions he had originally wanted to be dismissed for a good price. His yellow face, full of smoke, was actually a bit rosy. He also had a lot of greetings and laughing when he saw Chang Ruiqing.

The next one was Xu Shuzheng. The Chief Xu, who was restored to his post, was obviously in a good mood. Perhaps the plan for "unification of force" was progressing well? He talked a lot more than usual, and he also pulled Chang Ruiqing into the corner to teach him the opportunity.
