Chapter 124 The farce ends
After Sun Yixian abandoned the shore and boarded the ship, he immediately ordered Li Liejun's troops in the Northern Expedition Army to "return to fight against the thieves", and sent another telegram to Jiang Ruiyuan on the 18th: "It's urgent, I hope to come quickly."
Although Jiang Ruiyuan was a man who studied since childhood, he was full of martial arts and ambition, and his social circle was very chaotic and incredible. He could become sworn brothers with military and political officials like Chen Qimei, or become business partners with Dai Jitao, who scolded Yuan Shikai. On the one hand, he made friends with two overlords in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and joined the Qing Gang. On the other hand, he followed Sun Yixian to fight for his political ideals.
After receiving the telegram from Sun Yixian, Jiang Ruiyuan arranged his two sons Jingguo and Weiguo to his friend Zhang Jingjiang, and returned to the center of the storm without hesitation. When Jiang Ruiyuan boarded the Yongfeng ship, he was entrusted with full authority and commanded the navy to fight. He performed extremely well. When Sun Yixian was in trouble, Jiang Ruiyuan gave up his past grudges and boarded the Yongfeng ship, and worked hard to accompany him. How could he not move Sun Yixian? So he led him as a confidant. After this battle, Jiang Ruiyuan held his head high and entered the top leadership of the Kuomintang.
On the Yongfeng ship, Jiang Ruiyuan, as a political upstart, also noticed a lower-level officer named Ye Yiwei for the first time. The other party's spirit and temperament amaze him. Many excellent people can subconsciously feel the difference between each other, which is the sense of being a strong person.
On June 27, the blue sky was as clear as the hot summer, and the heat blew on the undulating sea. It was originally a relaxed and freehand feeling, but unfortunately, the person standing on the deck was full of chill and sweating frequently.
Sun Yixian stood on the platform with his hands on his back and stood still. His pair of eagle eyes glared at the twenty-five so-called representatives of public opinion below. His hatred for the Guangdong army and his anger towards Ye Ju and Chen Jiongming did not decline at all even after these days. This was the most unbearable humiliation he had suffered since he became a very great president.
Although the dignified "Xinhai Yuanmaster" was self-proclaimed, it was also a well-known name. Now, all face has been lost. The head of the military government was actually driven out of the garrison by his "subordinates". This humiliation was something that Sun Yixian could not bear.
Guangzhou citizens were afraid that Sun Yat-sen would fire again, so they selected these 25 people as representatives of public opinion today, and Wu Chaoshu would board the ship to see Sun Yixian. Representatives from all walks of life were beneficial to the deck, and they all stood around. Wu Chaoshu reported first, the main purpose was to hope that Sun Yixian's warship would not fire in the city.
However, Sun Yixian stood firm and watched the representatives not speak. In this situation, the representatives of all gentry all bowed their heads and said tremblingly: "The President came to the south to love the people as if they were red, and the people would not say anything else. This incident caused great losses to the mall. I sincerely care about the people's difficulties and don't start fighting again." They all have family businesses in Guangzhou. If Sun Yixian continues to do this, no one will be worried?
The representative of the Shantuan General Office, a high-ranking person surnamed Liang, even asked the president to express his opinions. Then, there was a representative of the hospital, Fan, who bowed and begged, hoping that Sun Yixian, as the president, could understand the suffering of the business people, and always ask not to...
Sun Yixian remained silent and still looked cold. The representatives of the general business association were already rude and dared not speak out. Huang, the representative of the General Business Association, complained that the mall was decayed after the fire, and the chaos had caused public security and looting happened frequently. In the shops in Xiaodongmen, about 800 merchants lost more than 800,000 yuan, which was just a tangible loss.
As for those intangible losses that are difficult to count, I don’t know how many of them are. That’s why these representatives can’t wait to grudge Sun Yixian, as the president, to be able to respect the people’s difficulties and give in a little, and do not fire any more to maintain the crisis and benefit the local government.
But when the representatives spoke, Sun's eyes were not turning, but instead showed an angry look. After the representatives finished speaking, he spoke, saying, "If Chen arrives in the province this morning, I will fire this morning; if he returns to the province tonight, I will fire tonight." In fact, it means to force the people and the business community to make choices and not support Chen Jiongming anymore.
The main problem is to ask Guangzhou citizens not to ask Chen Jiongming to return to Guangdong to preside over the meeting, otherwise Sun Dapao would really start running. This intimidation seems useless, but in fact it has a deep meaning.
First of all, Sun Yixian is a person with good face. He was driven away in such a shame and had no time to say anything in a scene. It was definitely not in line with his personality needs. Therefore, his first requirement for residents of Guangdong Province was to ask everyone to see him off, and he should be polite and respectful. He even directly proposed that Guangzhou should give Sun Yixian a farewell that suits the presidential status.
Secondly, since the Northern Expedition Army was required to leave the country, the "Guangdong government" should pay the allocation fee, and even pay Sun Yixian himself one million yuan of "election fees". In fact, it is to raise the military expenses required for the Northern Expedition, and hope to make the last one in the prosperous Guangdong before leaving.
The last and most critical point is that the Northern Expedition Army now has no base and the north and south are about to negotiate, so we must discuss and cut out a region for the Northern Expedition Army to cultivate. Sun Yixian's point of view through Jiang Ruiyuan's attention to some wealthy places in Jiangxi.
Sun Yixian basically did not get the desired answer. Chen Jiongming and Ye Ju couldn't agree. Why should you let the Guangdong army clean up the poop that Sun Yixian pulled out by himself? The territory of Jiangxi is even more irrelevant. Chen Jiongming is the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, not the commander-in-chief of the Gan Army, and can still be the lord of the people of Jiangxi?
In the conference room of the Ancient Chinese Society, different photos were frequently converted on the slides, and the information mentioned by Zhou Hua, which gave everyone present an intuitive understanding of the current situation.
"Sun Yixian is now leading the fleet to retreat to Huangpu. The Changzhou Fort is still in the hands of the Northern Expedition Army, which can be used to cover the fleet. From the current situation, according to the opinion of the General Staff, the Sun Army will use Huangpu as the base and convene civilian troops in nearby places and organize them into marines. When the Northern Expedition Army returns to Guangdong, each army will be covered by the fleet and attack the provincial capital as a plan to regain Guangzhou. If it fails, the other party will arrange a retreat as soon as the end of June. We have received the news that he has secretly obtained the guarantee that Ye Ju will let him leave the country safely."
Holding the teaching stick in his hand, Zhou Hua stood on the podium for detailed intelligence analysis and reports. In the incident of bombarding Guangzhou City a few days ago, because the industry under the Guwen Society was not in that area, fortunately it was not directly affected. However, the security situation in a city deteriorated, and the time for plundering and injuring people increased, and the task of Xuantie Security Company was greatly aggravated.
Chen Ze was angry for a year, obviously Sun Yixian's actions touched his moral bottom line: "Xu Chongzhi's army has now been expelled into Ganzhou, Jiangxi, with a population of less than 4,000. The key is that most of the Guangdong soldiers are dedicated to Commander-in-Chief Chen. As for Li Liejun and Li Fulin, they have personally agreed that they would not join the vortex of Guangdong chaos, so as not to kill each other."
Chen Jiongming now fully supports Li Yuanhong as president because of the autonomy of the province. Once Guangdong is peaceful and unification is within the jurisdiction, this is the expectation of the people of Guangdong Province. Ye Ju also publicly promised to do his best to make all this come true as soon as possible. Navy Commander Wen Shude was no longer willing to work with Sun Yixian because of the previous incident of being forced by the party.
"The biggest problem now is that Sun Yixian still holds control of the navy. He not only attacks civilian troops in four townships outside Guangzhou, bandits and hooligans, take the opportunity to carry out activities and harm the people in the villages. He also ordered warships to cut off rice and coal everywhere for supply and support." Finance Minister Huang Shaoguang had to complain.
"Military army has begun to appear in places such as Xiaohuli and Shaluowan. As for the coal and rice we ordered from Vietnam and Jiangxi, they have also been intercepted."
Although losing this thing is nothing, it has a bad impact in the long run. As for the so-called "civilian army", Zhong Yang was even more disgusted: "I will instruct Wang Liwen to deal with the hidden dangers in military affairs. In short, Nansha is our Nansha, and no one can shake our foundation."
Sun Yixian relied on his own to the navy and was unscrupulous and domineering here, which also made Zhong Yang feel the importance of developing the navy. However, for the time being, he was not afraid of the broken ships under Sun Yixian's men, and the shore defense cannons were enough to greet them. However, it was better to have less than more things. After all, the impact would be bad.
In view of the precedent of Chen Ce, the commander of the Sun Fleet, leading the militia army to loot Jiangmen, Zhong Yang was unwilling to have such a situation in Nansha. The significance of the existence of the militia in Nansha is used to protect his legitimate rights and interests from infringement.
However, other places are not as lucky as Nansha. The Guangdong army is too small to deploy defenses everywhere, not to mention that they have to concentrate on making necessary precautions for the actions that the Northern Expedition Army will take. Therefore, except for the relatively stable urban area of Guangzhou, the rest of the places are more or less harassed by the Sun-subsidiary army. Some places are even burned, killed, looted and looted.
The internal affairs achievements Chen Jiongming made after returning to Guangdong were destroyed by Sun Yixian. The advocate of the Three Principles of the People was the persecutor of the Guangdong people, especially when Sun left Guangzhou in the future, the scene of people cheering and celebrating each other. I don’t know how ironic it was.
The Northern Expedition Army was ordered to return to the army to attack Guangdong. As soon as they entered the country, the Guangdong army in the Northern Expedition Army turned against each other. Most of the soldiers were originally locals. For no reason, why should their own people beat their own people? In the Northern Expedition Army, most of them were sympathetic to Chen Jiongming, especially Huang Dawei and Li Fulin's troops, surrendered one after another. After the war, they surrendered. Deng Keng's old subordinates led by Liang Hongkai were all under the command of Ye Ju. Chen Jiayou of the Hunan Army defeated Xie Wenbing in Lechang and retreated to Guangxi. In the Xijiang River, Guan Guoxiong, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Guangdong Army stationed in Wuzhou, declared that he would invite Sun to step down and stop the Yunnan Army from opening the Russo team into Guangdong.
The Northern Expedition Army returned to attack Guangdong, and the battle of Weng Yuan was the most intense, with the death toll on both sides probably exceeding a thousand. In other battles, Ye Ju adopted the strategy of recruiting and surrendering, the number of casualties on both sides was very minor, and the danger of scattered soldiers and raiding and destroying local people was greatly reduced. Those who were willing to withdraw their troops could get severance payments from Ye Qiu's hand, so why not do it?
Under such circumstances, not many soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were willing to work hard for Sun Yixian. The Northern Expedition Army, which had no combat power and no intention of fighting, had to retreat. After staying on the Yongfeng ship for 55 days, Sun Yixian saw that he could not shake the Guangdong army, so he had to take Jiang Ruiyuan, Hu Hanmin and others to fake Hong Kong and return to Shanghai.
It failed again, and Sun Yixian could no longer count how many times he had been expelled. In the chaotic times, it was not enough to have ambition and fame, but also to have brains and strength. Unfortunately, it was not until he was old that Sun Yixian truly understood...
