Chapter 123 Jiang Ruiyuan
In a Chinese-style residence in Paris New Village, Shanghai, the lights of the old era seemed a little dim, with a slightly yellowed bright color reflected on the exquisite mahogany furniture. Two slender shadows were dragged to the ground and stretched to a distance.
"Brother Ruiyuan, I'm here this time, I want to see what you mean." First, I poured a glass of soju for the handsome man in front of me, and then said tentatively. Hearing this tone, he was Liu Jinyang, president of Xinghua News Agency.
"Oh, what can you do if you don't listen to me?"
This gentleman refers to Sun Yixian.
This handsome man is Jiang Ruiyuan, a person who can be called brothers with Sun Yixian, has a precise eye and rational analysis of the current situation. He is about thirty years old this year, and he is romantic by nature and spends money like soil. Last year, he just married a 15-year-old beautiful lady.
The whole body exudes a courageous and heroic temperament. The plump and handsome white face can be described as a face like a jade. The eyes are bright red phoenix eyes, the nose is straight, and the corners of the mouth with moderate thickness are slightly raised. The overall temperament is very masculine, with a proud and firm look, and the expression and demeanor can be described as ambition.
In short, Jiang Ruiyuan in front of him is really a first-class handsome man. He has been familiar with the scriptures since he was a child, and his appearance and temperament are very oriental. Just like the son-in-law in ancient times, his sharp phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows are indeed the finest of oriental men's appearance, and it is a fatal attraction to young women.
But for Liu Jinyang, what he paid attention to was the courage and talent of this person. Since he joined the core circle of the Presidential Palace, he met this man named Jiang Ruiyuan through various relationships. With a little contact, he lamented the other party's mind and materials. If this person, as Zhong Yang said, is a super hero, who is a hero in the world.
"Why bother Brother Ruiyuan? Mr. Ruiyuan is now in a difficult situation. If not, how can a person's loyalty and talent be demonstrated?" Liu Jinyang's words were undoubtedly a heart-wrenching word for a leader. But for Jiang Ruiyuan, who is still in the lower rank, it was a kind of good word.
At that time, the chaos in Guangzhou was frequent. Since Liu Jinyang held the core meeting of the last ancient Chinese conference, he brought a group of people to Shanghai in a high-profile manner. Both Sun Yixian and Hu Hanmin knew about this itinerary and agreed.
The cause of the incident was due to previous actions. As early as the beginning, taking advantage of Deng Keng's death, Wei Bangping's neutrality, and Hong Zhaolin's escape from Shanghai Mingzhe to protect himself. Sun Yixian achieved the purpose of dismembering most of Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army, leaving the other party isolated and helpless, so he had to retreat to Huizhou.
The Northern Expedition Army was like a divine help under the leadership of Sun Yixian. Less than a week after Deng Keng's death, the Northern Expedition Army completed most of the assembly and unified operations, and divided the labor and cooperation and worked together to attack Guangzhou, which caught Chen Jiongming off guard.
Sun Yixian was reborn as Sun Wu, Zhuge was reborn, and he was defeated and fought, forcing Chen Jiongming to step down in one fell swoop, and then he couldn't wait to start planning the Northern Expedition. At this moment, Jiang Ruiyuan, a subordinate of Xu Chongzhi of the Guangdong Army and served as the Chief of Staff of the Second Army, sincerely spoke to Sun Yixian: "Wait, it is not appropriate to fight the Northern Expedition at this time. Although Chen was dismissed, he still had enough appeal for his deployment, and our soldiers may not really accept it.
The 1st and 2nd Division in Guangzhou City have not yet been withdrawn, and the Chen army in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River still has strength. In this operation, we have taken all the initiative and must not be missed. Times will not come again. If we do not take this opportunity to wipe out the Chen army in one fell swoop, and when he transfers Ye Ju back to Guangxi, the situation will be gone and it will be too late to regret it. I think we should immediately attack Shilong and Huizhou to completely defeat Chen Jiongming, and then return to the army to annihilate Ye Ju, so that Guangdong can truly become the territory of our ** party."
This is a well-established saying. Since you are no longer kind, you are simply not kind to the end. You must never give the enemy time to recover, beat the dog and put down the wrong ones. This is what you should do now. Although it is very disharmonious on the moral level, from a military and political perspective, it is necessary to do so.
But sometimes the sinister and sometimes the indecisive Sun Yixian has had an old habit of moodiness here. He thought it was inappropriate: "I went back to Guangdong, but I didn't stop him. I withdrew from my post. I accepted it happily. When I entered Guangzhou, I took the initiative to withdraw. At this time, I started to chase and kill him. What does the public view of me and what does public opinion think of me? I, Sun Yat-sen, aren't I the warlords who fight and kill for personal territory? What's the point of my attack on the north?"
But the problem is that the people in Guangdong and Guangxi like Chen Jiongming. The Northern Expedition was no longer popular, and they still didn't use force to open a bloody road to shock the enemy. Didn't they think about caring about the opinions of the people now? Unfortunately, Sun Yixian is the boss here, and his words count.
In the end, Sun Yixian not only did not adopt Jiang Ruiyuan's opinion, but instead sent Wu Chaoshu to Huizhou to welcome Chen Jiongming back to Guangzhou, and also called Chen Jiongming to take charge of the Northern Expedition as the head of the army. Chen Jiongming called back in a submissive tone, but he still refused to take charge of the Northern Expedition. He only asked Sun Yixian for leave when he asked him to return to Guangzhou to perform his duties as head of the army, but no longer refused.
When Sun Yixian saw it, he began to be intoxicated by his "trick of "suppressing people with virtue". He thought that as long as Chen Jiongming did not restrain himself from the Northern Expedition, there was no need to deal with the other party. Hello, I, everyone,
Then, Sun Yixian began to designate Zhao, Yang, Luo, Gao, Lei, Qin, Lian and Wuzhou as the defense areas of Chen's army. He sent Ye Ju to command it in the name of Guangdong-Guangxi Border Defense Supervision, and Guangzhou was stationed by the Third Division. The Chen generals were happy to receive the order.
At this point, Sun Yixian felt that the defense was stable and the food and grass were ready, so he ordered the Northern Expedition Army to concentrate in Shaoguan, Nanxiong, Renhua and diverted to Jiangxi North Expedition. The Northern Expedition Army took a detour without passing through Guangzhou, and moved from Sanshui to the North River, and went straight to the North River through Qingyuan to Shaoguan. After receiving the order, all the Northern Expedition Army concentrated in Shaoguan in less than two weeks.
On May 4, 1922, Sun Yixian and Hu Hanming, Xu Chongzhi and others went from Guangzhou to Shaoguan. Taking advantage of the Zhi-Feng War, they issued the General Attack Order of the Northern Expedition. This time, Zhang Zuolin of the Fengtian faction unit joined forces with the Anhui faction and Sun Yixian to attack the Zhi-Feng faction. Unfortunately, after a moment of gesture, news came that the Fengtian army was defeated by the Liangcheng City. Zhang Zuolin ran back to the northeast.
But Sun Yixian had money in his pocket and had soldiers at this time, so he didn't care whether Zhang Zuolin was defeated or undefeated, and continued to order everyone to advance north. The Northern Expedition Army successively captured Nan'an, Xincheng, Chongyi, Xinfeng, Qiannan, Longnan and other counties in half a month, and was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. Sun Yixian was immersed in the longing for victory.
Among the proud generals of the Northern Expedition Army, only one was depressed. After expressing the feelings of "a woman's kindness" and "a man is not worthy of being with someone", he went to Shanghai alone. "If you don't listen to me, you will suffer a loss in front of you. I will not be embarrassed by you." With such a sigh, this sharp-eyed person also telegraphed Chen Jiongming, but in the end he found it uncomfortable and reused. In the end, he ran back to his hometown alone helplessly.
The person who left was Jiang Ruiyuan, who was 35 years old at the time and was a rising star in the Sun Northern Expedition Army camp. However, in his prime, he had already shown political sensitivity beyond ordinary people. The subsequent development of the situation basically confirmed his judgment.
On May 8, Ye Ju refused to obey the orders and led his more than 50 battalions of Nanning soldiers to Zhaoqing and headed straight to Guangzhou. In fact, it was not considered disobeying the orders. Comrade Ye's boss was Chen Jiongming, and he also said words like "You Sun Dapao" many times in public. How could such a person listen to the orders of the Presidential Palace?
Sun Yixian, who was in Shaoguan, sent a telegram to Wei Bangping, commander of the 3rd Division of the Guangzhou Garrison Commander, without the order of the Northern Expedition Base Camp, and no troops were allowed to enter Guangzhou. This order was almost like waste paper. Wei Bangping was a neutral man. As a professional fence-bearer, he was definitely unreliable. On May 18, Ye Ju's troops shouted "clear the king's side" and the slogan "extinguish the slut" poured into Guangzhou. Wei Bangping did not resist at all. The two of them were originally in the same group, and Ye Ju was crowded with people and powerful, and they were coming in full force.
Chen Jiongming failed to let Wei Bangping work for him. What's so good about you, Sun Yixian, and you can make this fence-bearer return to your heart? What's even more ridiculous is that on the 20th, Ye Ju and others publicly called Sun Yat-sen to call Sun Yat-sen, asking Chen Jiongming to regain his post. Wei Bangping, the big-headed ghost, also signed in the telegram. Seeing this situation, even if Sun Yixian considers himself high, he knows that Wei Bangping is not a thing.
Faced with the dilemma of Guangzhou changing hands in a flash, the left-behind Party members Wang Jingwei and Ma Junwu hurried to Huizhou to meet Chen Jiongming and ask for an explanation. Chen Jiongming immediately said: "For the sake of party friendship and personality, I will never oppose Mr. Zhongshan, and I will also bear full responsibility for the actions of my subordinates." Wang and Ma reported Chen's attitude to Sun Sun Yixian.
So many troops gathered around Guangzhou, and they were in a panic in an instant. That was not all. Ye Ju's army also went to the Ministry of Finance to ask Minister of Finance Liao Zhongkai for the salary every day. For the sake of the Northern Expedition, the Presidential Palace did secretly deduct a lot. Liao Zhongkai, who had no money, was too troubled. He asked Sun Yixian to return to Guangzhou temporarily to deter him. Otherwise, if this kind of trouble continues, it would be so polite. Hu Hanmin strongly advised Sun Yixian not to go back: "It's too dangerous. If Chen Jiongming turns against you, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After thinking about it over and over again, Sun Yixian believed that, from Chen's attitude in the report, Chen Jiongming would not break up, and secondly, he believed that if Chen did not turn against him, with his identity as the president, he could shock the lawless Ye Ju. If the incident could be temporarily calmed down, it would ensure that the morale of the Northern Expedition Army would not be affected. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen arranged for Hu Hanmin to stay in Shaoguan and bring his personal guard back to Guangzhou.
Before returning to Guangzhou, on May 27, Sun Yixian ordered: "Chen Jiongming is the chief of the army to handle military affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi, and all military troops in Guangdong and Guangxi are under control and dispatch." This order is actually to restore Chen Jiongming's position as commander of Guangdong. The meaning is very clear: I have restored your power, and you should use your power to order your subordinates to withdraw their troops.
Chen Jiongming, who had been full of anger for a long time, refused to comment on the appointment, just said, "Don't worry, I have already let Ye retreat." But the problem is that Chen Jiongming can no longer control the troops below. The Northern Expedition Army's approach was clearly not a slap in the face, but a stomping on the Guangdong Army in the face. Who can bear this matter on whom?
After Sun Yixian arrived in Guangzhou, he wanted to summon Ye Ju and other senior officers, ask them to take the overall situation into consideration and withdraw the defense area, but Ye Ju had already left Guangzhou the day before and left a group of middle and lower-level officers. Sun Yixian was not a direct commander, so he could not be assigned at all. He hurriedly sent three telegrams to Chen Jiongming in Huizhou, and was furious: "These soldiers are all your subordinates, so you should come over and discipline them."
Chen Jiongming was very direct and replied: "I won't go back. Isn't it misleading to go back at this time?"
Sun Yixian was so angry that he judged others by himself. His inner thoughts were: "What kind of good people do you pretend to be? Ye Ju was transferred by you." But he never thought that he asked Liao Zhongkai to cut off the arms supply from the Shijing Arsenal and cut off the food and salary. If Ye Ju did not rebel, his subordinates would kill him and rebel.
Speaking of which, Ye Ju was very restrained and his constraints were quite successful. Otherwise, Sun Yixian would not have left Guangzhou City alive. Those tens of thousands of Northern Expedition Army and other base guerrilla troops could confront the main force of the Guangdong Army, which had been through many battles? Even the Huangpu Group may not have such a tone in the future.
After Sun Yixian returned to Guangzhou for more than ten days, Chen Jiongming and Ye Ju avoided it. The chaos in the city continued to increase, but it was really raining. On June 11, Xu Shichang stepped down, Li Yuanhong was restored to the president, and the old Congress was restored. In this way, the legitimacy of Sun Yat-sen, the president, was exposed. The only excuse for the Northern Expedition was gone, and he fell into a tragic death.
It is precisely because everything goes wrong and the unwilling mind of Sun Yixian looked at Chen Jiongming more and more disliked, and even made harsh words to make "the Chen family army all become mud fans." In fact, it can be seen from this that it is obvious that doing big things is cherished, greedy for small profits is forgotten, and not knowing how to judge the situation and see through the people's hearts is all revealed in this ambition hero.
Originally, we should say something good at this time, and everyone discussed it with kindness to discuss a suitable solution. Ye Ju and Chen Jiongming were not people who like to cause trouble, and this is Guangdong, and they absolutely do not want war on their own territory. But all of them were ruined by Sun Yixian's stubbornness. If you, Sun Dapao, speak wildly, Ye Ju wants to reconcile, and his subordinates cannot agree.
When it comes to ambition, Sun Yixian undoubtedly has, but it may not be possible to be true to his ability. Is there any successful experience from Xinhai to the present? Sun Yixian is simply the most typical long-term defeat in the history of the Republic of China, and he has been defeated repeatedly. If it weren't for his character of fighting repeatedly, coupled with the secret support of the Soviet Union and Japan, the ** Party would have been destroyed under such "wise" leadership.
What followed was the bombardment between each other. The cause of the Northern Expedition and the construction of the South were all shattered under the roar of these "cannons".
When it comes to talent and mind, Liu Jinyang cares more about the man in front of him. His vision and talent are both heroes for a while, and he also has the charm of being a leader. If he had not joined the ancient Chinese Society and had a very high position in his position and attitude, he might be willing to follow such a leader.
Liu Jinyang thought this way, but his face was filled with a calm smile. To this day, he has learned a calm mind from Zhong Yang. Although he was here to have a preliminary contact with Jiang Ruiyuan or even show kindness, in essence, he believed that this was just an investment. Therefore, he could face it with a peaceful mind.
But for Jiang Ruiyuan at this time, this was not the case. In his early years, he had struggled with a group of friends in Shanghai's financial market, and had been in glory and despair, and was used to the warmth and warmth of human feelings in the world. Now he is at a low point in his life, and his political frustration has made him feel a little overwhelmed.
Liu Jinyang's arrival was undoubtedly a beginning for him to regain his confidence. The other party not only brought a large amount of political donations, but was also willing to provide information and suggestions for himself. This is a timely helping, and he gained great favor from him.
Looking at the confident and calm young man in front of him, Jiang Ruiyuan seemed to think of the cynical self in the past. Although the two have completely different personalities, they are also very similar in their feelings. Because of this, Jiang Ruiyuan was full of gratitude for Liu Jinyang's actions and also sowed the seeds for their future friendship...
