This is the second day of bombardment by the Guardian Fleet!
The shelling of the ships on the sea was not intense, but only intermittently, and there was no intention to launch an attack on Haikou.
But this had a huge psychological impact on Long Jiguang's army.
The National Revolutionary Army controls the sea superiority and has the ability to launch an attack on Haikou at any time!
There was already some chaos. Some of his subordinates kept suggesting that Long Jiguang give up Haikou as soon as possible. Long Jiguang was helpless. Even if he gave up Haikou, where could he go?
A place surrounded by the sea is like a prison that locks itself tightly here!
Gui Guangtang came back yesterday, and the news he brought back made Long Jiguang despair: he can go to the countryside, but his troops and property cannot be taken away!
Wang Hengyue, Wang Hengyue is trying to push himself to death!
The only hope now is that the natives of Nassau can hold back the pace of the revolutionary army.
Another burst of dull gunfire came, making Long Jiguang shiver involuntarily. "Governor, haven't you made a decision yet?" Gui Guangtang walked in in a hurry: "The National Revolutionary Army has already arrived.
With signs of movement towards Haikou, their fastest troops can reach the sea within a day."
Long Jiguang opened the window and tried his best to keep his head calm: "Guangtang, do you want to discuss it with Wang Hengyue? I don't need the army, but those properties are what I have accumulated through hard work!
"
"Governor!" Seeing that Long Jiguang was still so greedy for property at this time, Gui Guangtang sighed: "At times like this, life is more important than anything else! Wang Hengyue has made it very clear, except for you in the future
You can’t take away anything else that is necessary for life!”
Long Jiguang opened his mouth. Although no words came out, his face was full of unwillingness.
After working hard for so many years, my rights are lost in an instant. Do I have to lose my wealth as well?
At this point, Gui Guangtang could stop caring about Long Jiguang, but he still wanted to make one last effort to repay Long Jiguang's kindness in promoting him: "Governor, stop thinking about wealth.
, we have no place to escape. As long as Wang Hengyue is willing, the cannons on his warships can blast this place to pieces! But why didn't he do that? Just threaten the shelling there? Because he didn't want this place to be destroyed by man-made war!"
"Governor's envoy, governor's envoy! Something bad happened. The entire third brigade surrendered to the National Revolutionary Army!" This sudden news shocked Long Jiguang's body and he almost fell down.
"Did you see it? The army no longer wants to fight"... Gui Guangtang took a step forward: "This is just the beginning. Soon more soldiers will surrender. By that time, nothing can be undone!"
Long Jiguang let out a long sigh.
At this time, there really is no better choice. "Guangtang, go make arrangements and tell Wang Hengyue that I am willing to step down." Gui Guangtang breathed out. He finally waited for what he wanted to hear, "Master
,master"
Long Jiguang's aunts and wives rushed in swarm. They overheard at the door and when they all rushed in, they all looked pale and cried as if it was the end of the world: "Master, what should we do?"
"
"Master, don't let those things of mine fall into the hands of the [revolutionary] party!"
Long Jiguang's head seemed to explode, and he suddenly shouted hysterically: "Get out, get out of here, everyone, get out of here!"
On July 18, 1918, the former governor of Guangdong, Long Jiguang, announced his resignation.
In fact, this so-called "going to the wild" is a bit absurd. Two years ago, he was kicked out of Guangdong and has been living in Qiongzhou ever since. To put it bluntly, he has no official title at all now. The so-called "going to the wild" is just that.
Just listen to some Hapai!
However, Wang Hengyue also gave him enough face. Shortly after Long Jiguang announced his "retirement", Wang Hengyue immediately announced that he would protect the lives of Long Jiguang and his family, and would send warships to Guangdong first. Regardless of Long Jiguang's plans next time
Wherever Guang wants to go, the military government will not stop him.
On July 19, the leading troops of the National Revolutionary Army entered Haikou.
On the 20th, Wang Hengyue, the generalissimo of the French military government, arrived at Hai.!
Long Jiguang and other military and political personnel from Guiguangtang welcomed Wang Hengyue's arrival.
Wang Hengyue did not show the complacency of a winner. When he saw Long Jiguang, he just said lightly: "Brother Zicheng, thank you for your hard work. On behalf of the military government, I would like to thank Brother Zicheng for your cooperation!" "Great Marshal, thank you for your hard work!"
Great marshal, hard work." Long Jiguang said naa.
Welcoming him to his previous official office, Long Jiguang said with too much helplessness: "Generalissimo, I leave this to you. The list of personnel will be sent soon. I hope the generalissimo can treat me well."
Those subordinates." "I will." Wang Hengyue smiled faintly.
The Battle of Qiongzhou went very smoothly. Except for some sporadic battles, there were basically no obstacles. In addition to the strong military strength, a series of previous policies towards the local area also played a big role.
This may be regarded as a drill before the Northern Expedition. Even after the Northern Expedition begins, military and political affairs can be carried out simultaneously in this way.
Sitting down in the official office, Long Jiguang, who was still a little unwilling, said: "Generalissimo, I have completely handed over Qiongzhou to you, but..."
"You are talking about your huge fortune, right?" Wang Hengyue helped him continue: "Brother Zicheng, although treasures make people excited, sometimes they can bring disasters to people. Brother Zicheng is in Guangdong
Taking away tens of millions of property, the Cantonese people are very dissatisfied. Now that Brother Zicheng has lost his army, or there will be many people coveting your family property, what will Brother Zicheng do to protect them? So I am
help you."
Long Jiguang smiled bitterly, how could anyone in the world be so helpful?
Wang Yiyue smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zicheng, leaving your property may reduce the hatred of Cantonese people towards you, and I can also make arrangements for brother Zicheng. Of course, there is no need to worry about brother Zicheng's future life. I have already made arrangements.
Order, Brother Zicheng and his family can take away 50,000 yuan of property. In addition, this is my wish."
A check was placed in front of Long Jiguang. Long Jiguang glanced at it and saw that it was a check for 20,000 yuan.
"Brother Zicheng, this is a trivial matter, not respectful.,…
Wang Hengyue's words sounded like great irony. Wang Hengyue obtained Long Jiguang's tens of millions of property without any effort, but his reward was only 20,000 yuan. "Thank you, thank you, Marshal.
"Long Jiguangwei stood up tremblingly.
"Come here, send Mr. Long to Guangdong!" Wang Hengyue sat there and said quietly. Long Jiguang is gone, just like all Wang Hengyue's previous enemies. Wang Hengyue has faced countless enemies of this kind in these years.
, Long Jiguang is just another of his victims.
Haikou fell into Wang Hengyue's hands, and the entire Qiongzhou also fell into Wang Hengyue's hands." The "Battle of Prelude to the Northern Expedition" was fought cleanly.
What made Wang Hengyue even more excited was that his navy had received a rare test, although such a test did not appear to be that valuable.
The development of the navy must be strictly implemented! Once you have a powerful fleet, many dreams can be realized.
Military is a means. Obtaining Qiongzhou does not mean that it is completely yours. The subsequent governance will be a greater test.
Nasu is dead, but there must still be many people like Nasu. And this must be left to Gui Guangtang.
Gui Guangtang is not a qualified soldier or chief of staff, but he is definitely a qualified official. He has the ability to govern Qiongzhou well. Wang Hengyue is convinced of this!
"It is said that Haikou Zhengzheng is a bottomless cave. From then on, five dragons soared into the sky and set off waves into the sea. Therefore, Haikou is known as the place where the five dragons entered." Standing in front of the window, Gui Guangtang pointed in front and said:
"Haikou City is located in the north of Qiongzhou, bordering the Qiongzhou Strait to the north, and facing Haian, Guangdong, eighteen miles away. Sea transportation is very convenient. Grand Marshal, I hope the supplies I need will be shipped as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Civil Affairs Envoy." Wang Hengyue called him jokingly: "I have ordered that all the supplies you need be shipped from Guangdong immediately. Whatever you need here, I will satisfy you. I will leave it for you.
I will leave the strength of the two regiments to Qiongzhou to you!" Gui Guangtang nodded: "Governing Qiongzhou cannot rely solely on force. In addition to the army, I also hope to send an additional group of policemen to make Qiongzhou
Get it into a normal orbit as soon as possible." "As usual, I will give you whatever you want!" A whistle sounded on the sea. It seemed that the ship carrying Long Jiguang and the first batch of soldiers returning to Guangdong set sail. Wang Hengyue
He muttered: "Guangtang, my Northern Expedition is about to begin. In addition to development, Qiongzhou must also try its best to assist the Northern Expedition. I will leave tomorrow, so I'll leave it to you." After saying that, he walked out and saw A Le.
He was waiting for him at the door. When he saw the Generalissimo coming out, Ah Le hurriedly greeted him: "Generalissimo, I want to be a soldier!" "Oh, what about your mother?" Wang Hengyue asked with a smile.
"My grandma is in good health. After Nasu's death, we will no longer be bullied. I told my grandma and she agreed to my joining the army!" A Le said happily: "My grandma said that the generalissimo
You are a good man, and I will give you military service."
Wang Hengyue patted his body: "Okay, I promise you, you can be my personal guard for the time being!"
"Yes, thank you Generalissimo, Ale will be the Generalissimo's personal guard from now on!"!
