Chapter 337 Protecting the Overseas Chinese Fleet, Five-color National Flag!
"send troops!"
Holding the telegram from Beiyang in his hand, Wang Hengyue answered without any hesitation.
This is a telegram from Duan Qirui from Beiyang.
When Sun Wen established a military government in Guangzhou, the main force of his navy entered Guangzhou under the command of Cheng Biguang, which greatly weakened the strength of the Beiyang Navy.
After Beiyang decided to "arm the troops to protect them", Duan Qirui sent a secret message. In view of the weak navy, there were certain difficulties in protecting overseas Chinese, and asked Guangzhou if they could dispatch one or two ships to Vladivostok to strengthen the force to protect overseas Chinese.
"Send troops!" Wang Hengyue said firmly.
Jiang Zhongzheng was hesitant: "Generalissimo, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and our fleet is ready to go. If Duan Qirui does this at this time, I am afraid that he is deliberately trying to weaken our strength!"
"Duan Qirui has this intention, but what he thinks more about is to sincerely protect the overseas Chinese!" Wang Hengyue said calmly: "Beiyang has already sent troops to protect the overseas Chinese [first published on Baidu Tieba]. Do we, the people of the world, call ourselves '**
Do people who call them "terrorists" turn a blind eye? If we can't even protect our own overseas Chinese, how can we have the face to call them "** people" and how can we promote **?"
Chiang Zhongzheng was still worried: "But what if the ship we dispatch is seized by Beiyang?"
"It was seized by Beiyang, and it was still our [Chinese] ship." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "The [Chinese] people seized the [Chinese] ship, what's the big deal? Something happened in Russia now, and in Russia
Those [Chinese] people are eagerly waiting for us to save them. If we can't even do this, even if we gain national power, we are not worthy of governing this country!"
Jiang Baili said on the side: "Beiyang is under great pressure now. It has to deal with the Russians and the Japanese. At this time, it is time to help them. I support Heng Shuai's sending troops!"
"Deploy the 'Hai Rong', the 'Hai Xi' cruiser and the 'Yong Feng' destroyer." Wang Hengyue thought for a moment: "Call Zhang Xiaoyue in!"
Then he named it: "To Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin, who patrolled the three eastern provinces, our military government decided to dispatch three ships including the 'Hairong' to protect the overseas Chinese, hoping to provide supplies along the way and work together for the dignity of the country."
struggle."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Xiaoyue strode in. Wang Hengyue briefly introduced the situation to him and then said: "Zhang Xiaoyue, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, and all three battleships will be handed over to you!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoyue answered without any hesitation.
On August 19, 1918, on the day of receiving the request from Beiyang, Wang Hengyue, the Grand Marshal of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army, made a decisive decision to dispatch the cruiser "Yongfeng" "Hai Xi"
The destroyer sent troops to protect the overseas Chinese with Zhang Xiaoyue as the commander-in-chief of the overseas Chinese protection fleet!
The north and south of China are closely united under a common goal through the efforts of both parties!
At the same time, when the Beiyang government sent troops to Russia, in order to strengthen the defense of the Sino-Russian border river, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced that it would station three small gunboats including the "Jiangheng Xiao", "Lijie Xiao" and "Lisui" on the Yangtze River and the "Lichuan"
Armed tugboats were transferred to the northeast to expand the "Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang Defense Fleet".
This is a river fleet with a very shallow draft, but it must rush to the northeast by sea. To this end, it is towed and escorted by the sea transport ship "Jing'an". The fleet is commanded by Gan Lian, the captain of "Jing'an".
In order to safeguard national interests and rise in the sea, the Chinese Beiyang gave up almost all their naval assets!
In the south, the escort fleet is also racing against time to move towards Vladivostok.
Beijing.
"Wang Hengyue has sent troops!" Xu Shuzheng hurriedly walked in, holding a telegram in his hand: "Wang Hengyue organized the escort fleet with three ships including the 'Hairong', and quickly headed north to reinforce Russia!"
"Okay!" Duan Qirui pounded the table hard: "The order is that wherever the southern escort fleet passes by, full supply must be provided. Give them whatever they want!"
Xu Shuzheng nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that Wang Hengyue would actually dispatch the fleet. We took out all the navy's wealth and he also gave away more than half of his family's fortune. It's rare."
"You have never seen Wang Hengyue, and I have never seen him either, but I know what kind of person he is!"
Duan Qirui pointed at himself and then at Xu Shuzheng: "He was in the south. A Leshan incident and a Hashimoto incident made a big fuss. He almost had a fight with the Japanese. This person has a strong sense of nationality.
That!"
"Is it possible to take this opportunity to bring him over?" Xu Shuzheng thought for a moment and asked.
Duan Qirui laughed "haha": "Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. As long as the conditions are ripe, he will definitely go to the Northern Expedition and will definitely drive me out of office. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely drive him out of office."
Yes. But that is our own internal matter. It doesn’t matter if our family members fight behind closed doors and get bloody heads. But if outsiders come to bully us, that’s not okay!”
You can handle your own affairs by yourself, and you can’t do it if outsiders bully you! It’s that simple!
Fengtian.
Zhang Zuolin, who had just been appointed as the inspection envoy to the three eastern provinces, also received a telegram from Wang Hengyue at the same time.
"Yes! Wang Hengyue, the little bastard, did a beautiful job!"
Zhang Zuolin smiled and waved the telegram in his hand: "This little bastard really sent out a fleet!"
"Master Qi, this is a good opportunity for us!" His old brother Tang Yu Lin said at the side: "Wang Hengyue sent two cruisers and a destroyer in one go. That's a big guy. With these three ships
Our strength has greatly increased. If we advance, we can threaten Beijing. If we retreat, we can protect ourselves. Now that Wang Hengyue has sent them to our land, why not..."
Zhang Zuolin glanced at him and said, "Dahu, I want to ask you something."
"Master Qi, please tell me."
Zhang Zuolin said unhurriedly: "Dahu, a gangster broke into your house and insulted your sister and sister. A generous neighbor came to save you, but in the end, you knocked the neighbor down with one punch.
Do you think this is something people do?”
"Of course not, who wants to..." As soon as he said the words, Tang Yuqi suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Yes, of course this is not what humans do!" Zhang Zuolin opened his mouth and cursed: "I'm trying my best to save you, but you are stumbling for others. I, Old Zhang, can't do this! If it's on the battlefield,
The machine guns on both sides swiped suddenly, and everyone fought to the death. Either I chopped off Wang Hengyue's head, or Wang Hengyue chopped off my head. Everyone was happy.***, but now they are unanimously speaking to the outside world, and Wang Hengyue is fighting to the death.
Mobilize warships to help us at the risk of our lives, so we can do something evil to others? Word spread that I, Old Zhang, still want this face?"
"Yes, Master Qi, I was wrong!"
Only then did Zhang Zuolin stop cursing: "Pass my order, as soon as Wang Hengyue's fleet arrives, I will receive you as a distinguished guest. If anyone wants to have other ideas, don't blame me, Old Zhang, for being unkind!"
"yes!"
The national crisis hit, and the Chinese were bullied and killed. At this critical moment, Wang Hengyue, Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin, these warlords of all sizes, these warlords who were criticized by others, resolutely gave up their prejudices and hostility.
United together like never before.
Behind closed doors, they can beat each other to pieces, but in front of foreign enemies, they are a family!
Zhili, Anhui, Feng, and Southwest are just different factions. No matter what doctrine they are, they all have a common name: "China"!
"Dark", "corrupt" or "reactionary", no matter what you call these warlords, you can't cover up their brilliance in this matter.
If you can't even protect your own people, if you don't do anything even if your own people are bullied abroad, then what kind of ruler are you? And why should you lead this country? How can you protect your own people?
This was done by the Anhui clique, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, by the Zhili clique, which was full of contradictions, by the Feng clique, which coveted Beijing, and by the Southwest clique, which was at the critical moment of the Northern Expedition.
No matter who wins the victory in the future "China", it has become unimportant [first published on Baidu Tieba]. What is important is that these warlords announced to the world at this critical moment: "China" has the ability to protect itself.
people!
This [Baidu Tieba first release] is enough!
The news that Wang Hengyue dispatched a fleet to protect overseas Chinese spread throughout Guangzhou, throughout the country, and also reached Vladivostok.
The Chinese Consulate General in Vladivostok was filled with joy.
Here we come, our army has arrived, and now our fleet is about to arrive.
According to the order of the Beiyang Government, the Chinese Army stationed in Vladivostok accepts the command of the Navy. However, the captain of the "Jiankang" ship Lin Jianzhang is only a naval colonel and has insufficient qualifications to command the army. Not only that, due to his low military rank, Lin Jianzhang
It is also very inconvenient to communicate with the navies of various countries.
After discussions between the Navy Ministry and the Beiyang Government's War Office, President Feng Guozhang issued an order on August 3, appointing Lin Jianzhang as the acting admiral of the navy, with full authority to command China's army and navy forces stationed in Vladivostok. Subsequently, the army and navy were transferred.
Navy personnel, set up offices as offices.
Lin Jianzhang is the supreme commander, and Army Major General Yu Yuxi, who is studying in France, is the chief of staff. The office is also called the "Acting General Office" and is directly subordinate to the War Participation Office. On the 9th, Lin Jianzhang officially raised the flag in Vladivostok and took office. The "Acting General Office" is located in 〖中
〗Near Guojie, twenty sailors transferred from the "Jiankang" ship served as guards.
The Ministry of Navy also specially dispatched three officials including Navy Captain Zhou Zhaorui from China to Vladivostok to assist Lin Jianzhang in handling relevant diplomatic matters.
At the same time, Wang Hengyue in Guangzhou also issued an order that the escort fleet obey the command of Acting General Lin Jianzhang.
The three "Hairong" ships sailed towards Vladivostok at high speed, and they had nothing to do with civil war or doctrine. They only served the same purpose: the interests of the country and the nation, above all else!
At the highest point of the ship, a flag flutters in the wind: the five-color national flag of the Republic of China!!.
