I stayed with the research team every day and worked hard on military science and technology and production processes. I didn't leave the science and technology park and returned to my home in Tianhai Pavilion until the evening.

"Master, you are back." Uncle Wu, the housekeeper, is a tall and thin old man, about fifty years old, with a quiet face very scholarly. When he was young, he participated in the imperial examination held in the county, but unfortunately he failed the exam, but he is indeed a scholar.

"Where is Yin Yin?" Zhong Yang asked tiredly after slapping the collar on the suit.

Zhang Yinyin is now in a semi-cohabitation relationship with Zhong Yang, but neither of them has revealed this matter. As servants, Uncle Wu and others are even less likely to interfere. The situation is so awkward and stalemate.

Regarding the question from the owner Zhong Yang, Uncle Wu also lowered his head and replied: "Ms. Zhang has not yet fallen asleep and is at the bar." The rules in the mansion are a bit strict. Even if a plate is not broken, they will be dragged out to feed the dog. However, as a servant, you must also understand what you can manage and what you should not ask.

"Well, help me prepare some snacks first and bring them to the bar." After taking off the suit jacket and handing them to the servant who stood by Hou, Zhong Yang went to the bar alone.

"Yes, I understand." He didn't ask Zhong Yang what he liked to eat. As the butler, he already knew this well.

Located in a space on the west side of the villa, walking through the corridor located in the extension, you will enter a dimly lit private diner. The entire villa is mainly based on European style, and the interior is similar to the layout and decoration. It has a private tavern and bar, as well as some daily life and entertainment facilities.

With a warm mood, sometimes it is good to experience the lifestyle of European aristocrats. Anyway, Zhong Yang does not want to indulge in this, so it should be okay.

Zhang Yinyin's beautiful shadow leaned slightly, leaning against the bar made of nanmu, a precious wine. Her already gorgeous and pretty face now has a charming blush, like a peach and apricot. Her phoenix eyes are blurred, and she obviously drank a lot. Since the internal contradictions of the ** Party have become superficial, her mental state has been a little low.

In order to create an elegant and light atmosphere, the entire tavern is mainly imitated wood products, with mild colors and low-dark colors, reflecting the warm and low-key theme. The wood that has been treated with flame retardant may cause fire, which makes people feel relieved. Russia imported Larix pine and processed and customized anticorrosion wood of various specifications.

The wooden products used in various architectural decorations, such as pavilions and courtyard wooden fences, wooden chairs and wooden pillars, not only highlight the nobleness, but also has a simple and simple gorgeous beauty in the low-key manner, which is very visually impactful. The bar and wine cabinet are all made of pure solid wood, which allows people to slowly relax their body and mind and gain tranquility at first sight.

Looking for a stool next to Yiren, Zhong Yang sat down naturally, and his arms slightly touched the beautiful woman's shoulders: "Have you rested yet?" He took the red wine placed on the right, poured himself a glass of it, and drank it with Zhang Yinyin.

Amid Zhong Yang's soft cry, Zhang Yinyin also came to her senses: "Are you back?" Rubbing her hazy eyes, she asked softly. If she weren't the one who knew, she would have thought they were already a young couple, but in fact they were not far away.

"Well, I just came back from the park." Because there are endless things to do every day, he no longer has the leisure time as he used to be, and he has no time to be with his lover. However, despite this, the relationship between the two has not changed, but has slowly settled down in the increasingly ordinary life.

Perhaps, this is what is called love.

Zhong Yang didn't think about it, Zhang Yinyin didn't say it. All the reasons were condensed in the quiet happiness and peace of mind. Love was not necessarily the burning of passion, but also as warm as water, with a gushing stream of sweet springs.

Looking at Zhang Yinyin's somewhat low mood, Zhong Yang felt helpless. He sighed, then hugged her shoulders and embraced the beauty in his arms: "Everything will pass, you don't have to think too much." Feeling the fragrance and softness coming from Shi's arms, Zhong Yang comforted her softly.

Zhang Yinyin actually understood that the dream of striving for it was instantly destroyed, and this feeling was really bad. When he joined the ** Party, he had the belief of saving the country, but his eyes were actually the face of politicians fighting for power and profit. Under the rule of the ** Party, Guangdong Province was almost in ruins, and its original wealth had long disappeared.

In the past, I might not have felt anything wrong. I lived in such a political environment, and what I saw and thought every day was dominated by omnipresent ideological propaganda. I could only see what the ambitious people wanted her to see, and only hear what the superiors wanted her to hear. Not only was it closed down to build in rule, but even thoughts were also.

Advocating personality cults and distorted human ethics, and requiring subordinates to obey superiors, this kind of life has only changed now. In Nansha, Zhang Yinyin looked at everything in the world with her own eyes and sought out the answers with her own thoughts.

"Uncle Wu, this is the pastry that the master wants." The young maid was holding a porcelain plate in her hand, covering it with a metal dining cover. The butler Uncle Wu first opened it and looked at it. He confirmed that the head of the family prefers to eat crispy layers, and then nodded with satisfaction.

This Cantonese Thousand Layer Crisp is a well-known local delicacy in Guangdong Province. For pastries, Zhong Yang prefers more Chinese pastries. He wraps the dough with water and oil into the pastry dough or solid oil, and then repeatedly presses, folds, forms and bakes, and has multiple layers and a crispy and loose taste.

Seeing Zhong Yang and Zhang Yinyin leaning against each other, the housekeeper was also very sensible and did not let the maid go in and disturb her. Instead, he chose to wait outside the door so that the two inside could spend more time together.

In 1926, the situation in China was not calm. **The party’s civil strife was in full swing, but the chaos in the north was also ignited. The dark clouds of war gathered over the capital.

As early as the autumn of 1924, Feng Huanzhang, a slave from the nine surnames, launched a coup in Beijing with the support of the Soviet Union, overthrew the "election-bribery" president Cao Kun, and then invited Sun Yixian to go north. When Sun arrived in Beijing, Feng Yuxiang had already agreed with Zhang Zuolin to accept Duan Qirui's entry into Beijing as the "temporary rule" president, and abolished Cao Kun's constitution, terminated the "provisional contract" and abolished the parliament.

For this matter, Sun advocated the convening of a national meeting of elected people, while Duan Qirui advocated the convening of a post-disaster meeting composed of military, political, commercial and academic powers. Because the two sides failed to reach a consensus, the after-disaster meeting was not officially held until February 1, 1925.

But Sun Yixian couldn't wait for a long time. On March 12, Sun died of illness in Beijing. On July 1, 1925, under the auspices of Wang Zhaoming, the ** Party appointed Jiang Ruiyuan as the head coach and paraded at the Northern Expedition oath ceremony at the East School Field in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou established a formal ** government, and in October, an anti-Feng War broke out in the north. In April 1926, the anti-Feng War failed. Zhang Zuolin and Fengtian army occupied Beijing and united with Wu Peifu, and Duan Qirui stepped down. Feng Huanzhang was once again like a dog that was lost, betrayed his relatives and had no choice but to retreat.

But this man didn't give up and went to the Soviet Union to "study further" by himself, holding the thick legs of the polar bear godfather, trying to make a comeback.

In January, he was forced to turn on the power to step down from the field under the joint attack of Feng and Zhijun, and went to the Soviet Union for inspection. He had returned to China in mid-August and was immediately appointed as a member of the ** Government and a member of the Military Commission by the Guangzhou ** Government. With the help of the Soviet Union and Red Gate in the country, he swore an oath to take action in Wuyuan, Suiyuan on September 17, and took office as commander-in-chief of the National Army Coalition, and officially announced that all soldiers would join the Chinese ** Party and join the National **.

In addition, according to the requirements of the Guangzhou National Government, and at the suggestion of Li Shouchang and other domestic disciples of the Red Sect, the strategic policy of "solidifying Gansu and supporting Shaanxi, joining Jin and Henan" was formulated. He then led his troops to participate in the Northern Expedition, and went to Gansu and Shaanxi to lift the siege of Xi'an in November.

When the ** Party** regime launched the Northern Expedition, Duan Qirui had already stepped down. At that time, the Beiyang government was controlled by the Fengtian warlords headed by Zhang Zuolin. The Zhitian warlord Wu Peifu became a vassal, occupying the two lakes, the three provinces of Henan, Hebei, and Shaanxi, and controlling the Beijing-Han Railway. Sun Chuanfang, the rising star of the Zhitian warlord, occupied the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the ** party could only live in Guangdong.

Due to Sun Yixian's fishing in the lake and his lack of knowing how to manage the local area, Guangdong was already in a semi-desolate state. Moreover, Jiang Ruiyuan, as the military pillar of the ** Party, became an unpopular figure in Guangdong Province, and the Huangpu Group also suffered from all sides of exclusion.

In such a situation, how to obtain support and go north is the only way out. Because of this historical background, Jiang Ruiyuan accepted Liu Haoran's suggestion and discussed a specific agreement with Chen Ze on the transfer of the Southeast. In this matter, Jiang Ruiyuan did not have much room for choice.

The Yunnan Dian Army, Guangxi Gui Army, and the Southern Army hidden deep in the Nansha, together with the opposition within the ** Party, he almost fell into a dead end in internal and external trouble. Guangzhou, which was plundered by Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan, could not support the ** Party's 80,000 army.

Sun Yixian died too early, and Jiang's status and qualifications within the party were still weak and it was difficult to convince the public. He even had to surrender to Wang Zhaoming and maintain superficial harmony. In fact, in the secret, the relationship between the military and political factions was not friendly. Although he would not become an ugly bandit, he was still far from "comrades".

Because of this, Jiang Ruiyuan had to reach a deal with Chen Ze in exchange for the strength of the Northern Expedition. Arms, financial aid, and food supply were all things that Jiang Ruiyuan could not obtain. Without these material foundations, even if he had any plans, he could only helplessly.

In the original history, without the existence of Tianyu Group and the coalition government, Jiang Ruiyuan relied on his superb diplomatic means and power-making intent to win over Li Zongren and a large number of people from the business group who were originally suppressed, which solved the economic and material problems. But in fact, he still often faced the embarrassment of financial shortage.

With Zhong Yang's appearance, Guangdong's business gang members have a better choice and will no longer join Jiang Ruiyuan's command. As for Li Zongren, he is indeed still a leader in the new Guangxi clan, but he is the battle sequence of the Southern Army and has no friendship with Jiang Ruiyuan at all.

During this period, the Beiyang warlords' direct troops had about 300,000 troops, controlling the provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Henan and other provinces and the Baoding area of ​​Zhili. The Sun Chuanfang army, which had divided the direct troops from the same sect, had about 200,000 troops, and was heavily entrenched in the five provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu.

As for the Fengtian army, Zhang Zuolin's army had an army of 350,000, and occupied the three northeastern provinces, Rehe, Chahar, Beijing, Tianjin and Shandong. Wu and Zhang colluded to control the Beiyang government and attacked the National Army in the north, towards Nankou, Duolun and other places. In the south, Wu Peifu increased his troops into Hunan, attempting to unite the warlords in the southwest to attack the Guangdong base.

It’s hard to say that the biggest enemies of the ** Party are Sun Chuanfang and Tang Jiyao. The former is looking at the southeast, waiting for an opportunity to take action in Jiangxi and Fujian, while the latter has always been hostile to the ** government. He was the most favorable supporter of Chen Jiongming's alliance with provincial autonomy at the time. He can be said to be a politically dying enemy.

The private meeting between Chen Ze and Jiang Ruiyuan was never seen in any of the historical books. There were not many people accompanying him at that time, and they were all in the top management in the future, so they were even more secretive about this matter.

According to the future history, only a few scholars have explored some of the truth in the dark. Among them, the famous historian and the heir of the Pangda Media Empire, Chi Wei, had thought of reporting this matter. However, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs invited him to have a night of coffee, he never mentioned this matter again after he came back.

As the son of Jie Minghong, this is the case, let alone the rest of the people?

Regarding the strength of the eight troops of the ** Army, the real main force is the Huangpu Student Army. Once the war breaks out, these future officers will gradually grow under the smelting of war and even become the cornerstone of the entire ** Party. Those miscellaneous troops will only be included and eliminated.

From this, we can see the difference in strength between Jiang Ruiyuan and Wang Zhaoming. The rulers who have achieved hegemony have almost no civil servants, and this is even more so by the founding kings.

On July 4, 1926, in order to fulfill the wishes of the party leader Sun Yixian, the Party Central Committee of the ** Party held an interim plenary meeting in Guangzhou and passed the "Northern Expedition Declaration of the ** Army", which stated the reasons for carrying out the Northern Expedition to overthrow the Beiyang government.

Shortly afterwards, Jiang Ruiyuan became the commander-in-chief, Li Jishen was the chief of staff of the general command, Bai Chongxi was the acting chief of staff of the deputy chief of staff, Deng Yanda was the director of the political department, and Guo Moruo was the deputy director of the political department.

He Yingqin, Tan Yankai, Zhu Peide, Li Jishen, Li Fulin, Cheng Qian, Tang Shengzhi and other rising stars have all begun to officially appear on the stage of history and serve as commanders of the 1st to 8th Army respectively.

Miao Bin, Li Fuchun, Zhu Kejing, Liao Qianwu, Li Langru, Lin Boqu, Huang Shaohong, and Liu Wendao were assigned to the party representatives or deputy party representatives of the 1st to 8th Army. Among these people, the disciples of Hongmen reached half, which proved that the Soviet Union still had an inefficient influence in the army.

Except for the 8th Army stationed in Hengshan, Anren area, and the 7th Army stationed in Guangxi, the other six armies were stationed in Guangdong. At the suggestion of the Soviet military adviser headed by V.K. Buluheer, the General Command of the ** Army formulated a strategic policy of concentrating troops and defeating them in accordance with the comparison of military forces between the enemy and us and the contradiction between the warlords.

First, the old opponent Wu Peifu army was eliminated, then Sun Chuanfang army was eliminated, and finally Zhang Zuolin army was eliminated. The main force was deployed to march into Hunan and Hubei, and most of the 1st Army were guarded against Fujian in Shantou, Meixian, Guangdong, and one part of the 1st and 4th Army and most of the 5th Army remained in Guangzhou.

At this point, the entire strategic decision was not very wrong. But in fact, just like Zhuge Liang's six trips to Qishan, he was pure arrogance and helplessness.

The reason why they are arrogant is that the strength of the two does not have an overwhelming advantage on the other side, and there is no other meaning except to aggravate China's internal friction. The reason why they are helpless is that the leadership has the same choice. Whether it is personal wealth or the political demands of the entire group, the Northern Expedition is a necessary measure.

A correct strategy without fundamental strength as support is nothing more than a false idea and it is difficult to get the desired future.

The military conference had just ended, and the mobilization order had been issued, and the entire battle sequence of the ** Party was running rapidly. Because Li Zongren could no longer surrender to the ** Party, at this time, the three military giants became Jiang Ruiyuan, Feng Huanzhang and Bai Chongxi.

In terms of prestige, Huang Shaohong was more suitable, but due to his personal personality, he was destined to be a think tank like military advisor and was unable to take on the heavy responsibility of commander.

After discussing the specific matters of cooperation, Jiang Ruiyuan also dragged his tired body back to his residence in Changzhou Fortress. His black hair began to appear white hair, and various difficulties made him exhausted. Looking at his shy and lovely wife Chen Jieru, a knowing smile appeared on his handsome face.

The energy and IQ required to deal with warlords and politicians like Feng Huanzhang every day is not something that ordinary people can deal with. It is necessary to win over subordinates, maintain the morale of the army, and instigate the real-powerful officers who are in charge of hostile forces, and take care of all interests. These are all necessary. Without power and intent, it is difficult to stabilize the situation.

It is hard to compete with Jiang Ruiyuan, who only seeks power and bureaucratic wisdom, but seeks all over the north and south of China. His talent, extraordinary ambitions and outstanding vision are all the best choices in the world. Unfortunately, his luck is not good, and God did not give him enough opportunities. The mess left by the Jiannu court is not a situation that can be saved by manpower.

If Zhong Yang did not have a gold finger like a smart factory, it would be destined to be extremely difficult to save China's fortune in this era.

But history has no if.

Two people walking on different paths can hardly cooperate even if they appreciate each other. In essence, Jiang Ruiyuan, as a mortal, still holds the wishes of emperors and generals, and longs for achievements and power. However, Zhong Yang is more like a cold seeker in his heart, looking at everything in the world indifferently.

Under the dark starry sky, what kind of future will China have?...
