Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh three chiefs
…Wu Suofang, chief of foreign affairs of the military government, Tang Shaoyi, chief of finance, and Cheng Wengguang, chief of navy, have arrived!" Hearing this voice, Wang Hengyue stood up in a hurry and went to the door to greet him: "Welcome to the three chiefs!"
These three people were originally entrusted by the Sanzhou Military Government to negotiate with Wang Hengyue. Originally, there was no need for the three chiefs to come forward in person, but for some reason, Wang Hengyue chose to name these three people.
"I don't dare to bother the patrol envoy." "Who are you?" Wang Hengyue welcomed the three people in with a smile and asked them to sit down.
Ordered to serve tea: "Wang Hengyue has always admired the three chiefs. Chief Wu studied in the UK at his own expense, studied law at the London College, obtained a doctorate and barrister qualifications, and became China's first doctor of law in modern times. Chief Tang was stationed in North Korea
Consul in Seoul, Consul General in North Korea, Representative of the North at the North-South Peace Conference, and the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China. He has made great contributions to our country's sovereignty and diplomatic interests." He knew the three people very well, and then changed the subject: "As for Mr. Cheng, Heng
Yue was even more impressed. The Sino-Japanese war broke out, and the Cantonese ships were kept as reserve forces. Chief Cheng wrote to the Governor of Zhili,
Li Hongzhang, the Minister of Beiyang, requested to lead the Cantonese warships to fight on the front line. Li Hongzhang agreed, so the three ships were incorporated into the Beiyang Fleet to participate in the war. Commander-in-Chief Cheng was ordered to lead the escort army eastward and engage the enemy ships on the Dadonggou ocean. Commander-in-Chief Cheng immediately
Heng Yue, who was commanding the battle on board the Guang Bing ship, was injured in the abdomen and his underwear was stained with blood, but he still refused to retreat. Heng Yue really admired such a tragic act!"
When Wang Yuyue said this, he was really sincere and there was no pretense at all.
Wu Tingfang and the other three looked at each other. How could this southwest patrol envoy have any of the legendary warlord habits?
"Drink tea, drink tea." Wang Hengyue picked up the tea bowl: "This is Qili Fragrant Tea from Guangxi. I specially asked someone to get it for me to entertain the three chiefs...
Seeing his easy-going nature, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but joked: "Serve tea to see guests off, serve tea to see guests off, isn't it because our butts are still hot, and the patrol officer is going to drive us away?"
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "I usually can't invite the three chiefs to come, so how can I rush? I sincerely invite the three chiefs to taste tea. In order to buy this tea, my dear, it cost me one
With a monthly salary, my wife might scold me in Sichuan."
Wu Tingfang and the three of them laughed together, and Tang Shaoyi was a little curious: "Do patrol envoys also receive salary?" "Yes, why not?" Wang Hengyue said inexplicably: "I have to take care of so many things, both military and economic.
You are really the busiest one, you can't just do things for free, right?" Tang Shaoyi smiled and said: "That's not what I meant, the southwest is the territory of the patrol envoys. The patrol envoys can have whatever they want, so why bother to get it?
Is the salary so troublesome?" Wang Hengyue waved his hands after hearing this: "It's different, this is different. Let me tell you the truth, I have money, but it's not mine, it's the public's. I want to treat the public's money as my own.
If you lose your own money, who else can convince me in the future?" Wu Tingfang and the other three were slightly concerned.
Regardless of whether Wang Hengyue is telling the truth or lies, it is already quite good for him to say this anyway.
After chatting there for a while, Wu Tingfang turned the topic to more serious matters: "Inspector, regarding our visit this time..."
"General Manager Wu, don't talk about the negotiations, don't talk about the negotiations." Wang Hengyue hurriedly interrupted him: "There is nothing to talk about in this negotiation. You have your position, and I have mine.
Anyway, I won’t give in, and I don’t think your Marshal Sun will give in either. Instead of doing this, why are you wasting your time?”
The three of them looked at each other, and Wu Tingfang said with some displeasure: "Did the patrol officer ask us to have fun?"
"How dare I." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "I invited three people here because I want them to help me come up with ideas on what to do between Guangdong and Guangdong in the future.
The three of them were shocked!
It would be fine if they didn’t negotiate, but Wang Hengyue’s intention was as if even Guangdong was already his territory!
Wang Hengyue ignored the expressions of the three people and said to himself: "I think Guangdong and Guangxi must restore the original economic order. What Lu Rongting did here has made it a mess and it will be very difficult to restore it. There are also external issues
Relations, this European war is about to be over. After the great powers have taken a breath and freed up their hands, it is time to set their sights on China again. What I want to do most is the navy. Guangdong will be managed by me.
The first thing to do is to develop the navy. If the navy cannot become strong, this country will not be strong either. But what should I do with the navy? I need General Manager Cheng to give me some advice!"
He said so many words in one breath that Wu Tingfang and the other three were completely confused. What does this mean? In the eyes of this patrol envoy, Guangdong is already his? The three of them have also become his subordinates?
"Inspection envoy." Tang Shaoyi finally couldn't help but said: "The revolutionary military government in Guangzhou is still there, and Mr. Sun is the recommended general marshal. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to speak like this, right?"
"There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate." Wang Hengyue didn't take it seriously! "Sun Wen is the general, and no one accepts him. I think the three chiefs also have opinions on him. You said that we were beaten back and forth by our own people.
What's the point? It's better to settle down, develop the local area and strengthen the country. This is the top priority."
Cheng Biguang, who had been silent all this time, pondered and said: "What the patrol envoy said makes sense, but if the name is not correct, it will not make sense. After all, the Guangzhou Military Government was established with the joint consent of all provinces, and the generalissimo was also elected by everyone, so we also invite the patrol envoy.
Think before you speak." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Elected by the provinces? I don't think so. The quorum of the Congress is not enough, so we can only have an extraordinary government and an extraordinary president. How can it be elected by everyone?"
Cheng Biguang remained silent.
In fact, before coming to Nanning this time, I had already been very unhappy with Sun Wen and others.
Last year, Cen Chunxuan, Li Liejun and others organized a provincial federation to seek the unification of all provinces. Cen and Tang wanted to use the federation to replace the powers of the military government and were prepared to compromise with the Beijing government and seek peace. In January this year, regulations were announced.
A founding meeting was held. Cheng Biguang played an active role in promoting the establishment of the meeting. However, once the regulations were announced, they were opposed by the Kuomintang and scolded by Zhang Taiyan, who called them "Li Wanyong second."
Cheng Biguang felt very aggrieved by this kind of abuse.
I think back then, when Sun Wen came to protect the Dharma, he was the first to stand up and support him. At that time, the First Fleet of the Navy had larger cruisers and was the main force of the navy. The warships of the First Fleet that went south to protect the Dharma included Haichen, Haiqi, and so on.
Yongfeng and other eight ships, together with Chuyu and Yongxiang, which were originally stationed in Guangzhou, totaled ten ships. On the way south, Duan Qirui sent troops to calm down the ice. Liu Guanxiong called you to persuade you to return north, but he ignored the navy's request.
This action increased the momentum of the Dharma Protector and greatly shocked the Beiyang warlords.
He still remembered that after his First Fleet arrived in Guangdong, it was welcomed by all walks of life, and members of Congress immediately went south. Only then did the Extraordinary Congress elect Sun Yat-sen as Grand Marshal, and the military government was declared established.
But how long did it take for him to become "Lee Wanyong's second best"?
So who is Lee Wanyong? He was a political figure in the last years of the Joseon Dynasty. He actively participated in the quiet destruction of the Korean Empire and promoted the merger of Japan and South Korea. He was regarded by North Korea and South Korea as a pro-Japanese faction and a traitor. He was one of the five thieves of Eulsi and the seventh thieves of Jeongwei.
, one of the thieves of the Gengxu Kingdom.
I first responded to Protector Sun Wen, but those people compared me to a North Korean traitor!
Cheng Biguang's expression could not be concealed from Wang Hengyue. Cheng Biguang had been wronged, so why not Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi? The three chiefs together urged Sun Wen not to bombard the Warlord's Office, but Sun Wen instead scolded the three of them.
, can the three of them not have any other thoughts in their minds?
He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the three chief executives being wronged to draw them to his side.
To put it bluntly, Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi both had diplomacy backgrounds. I couldn't compete with them, so I just got straight to the point, which one was talking about? I just wanted to win them over directly!
"I have opinions about Sun Wen, and I can't hide this from the three of them even if I want to." Wang Hengyue cleared his throat and said: "So Sun Wen has the Kuomintang, and I have the National Socialist Party. Sun Wen has the Guangzhou Military Government, and I have
There is a patrol mission in the southwest, and everyone has the same status. Why do I have to listen to his blind orders?" He also opened up: "Why has the victory in Hunan not been determined yet? Instead, in Beiyang
Under the attack of the Beiyang Army, the coalition forces retreated continuously? It's simple, because you don't have that strength. You don't have that strength, but I do! I dare to fight the Beiyang Army, and I am sure I can win them. But why don't I fight? It's the same as what Commander Cheng said
, If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. I went to the battlefield with my determination. Do they listen to me, or do I listen to the military government?" The meaning of the words is very clear. His strength, Wang Hengyue, is far greater.
Stronger than Sun Yat-sen, but he just didn't want to listen to Guangzhou's arrangements!
"What the inspector means is" Wu Tingfang vaguely guessed something.
Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "What I mean couldn't be simpler. The Guangzhou military government should be reorganized, find more capable people to lead, complete the Northern Expedition, unify China, and build a republic!"
Wang Hengyue first proposed the term "four republics".
The three of them looked at each other.
In fact, in Guangzhou, there were already many people who were dissatisfied with Sun Yat-sen and demanded that the general marshal system be ended and replaced by a joint president system. However, the number of presidents has not yet been determined.
Especially after Wang Hengyue acquired Guangxi, everyone was in danger, so this idea was temporarily shelved.
But now listening to Wang Hengyue's words, he doesn't take the Guangzhou military government seriously at all, and he has even regarded himself as the first person to lead Guangdong and Guangxi!
His military strength was clearly displayed in front of everyone!!
