Why is Zhong Yang so interested in Chen Jiongming mainly because the other party will become a famous Guangdong warlord in the near future. Before Sun Dapao established the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Jiongming seemed to be in great honor in Guangdong.

Zhong Yang can't remember when Chen Jiongming was taken down, but he knew that it was also the time when the Whampoa Military Academy was established. Through Liu Jinyang's investigation in Guangzhou these days, we can tell that Chen Jiongming had not ruled the entire Guangdong. This is an opportunity. As long as Zhong Yang makes friends before the other party rises, it is very likely to gain the other party's favor. After all, it is timely help. When Chen Jiongming fights back to Guangdong, it will be icing on the cake. The former is always much more cost-effective than the latter.

Holding the information collected by Liu Jinyang in his hand, Zhong Yang finally had some general understanding of Chen Jiongming's past history. As a great celebrity who devoted himself to the Revolution of 1911, Chen Jiongming's history is not a difficult secret. As long as you can afford money, information can always be bought.

The information obtained by Liu Jinyang was bought from the revolutionary party. Although Zhong Yang is also a member of the revolutionary party, it is not enough to get this information in vernacular. However, judging from the written information obtained, the 500 silver dollars spent was finally in vain and it was worth the money.

Chen Jiongming, whose courtesy name was Jingcun, was originally a provincial legislator in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he joined the Revolution of 1911 and became the founder of the Guangdong Army, serving as the first commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army and the governor of Guangdong. He was a representative figure of the powerful people in the south. Sun Dapao took Guangdong as the revolutionary base and relied on Chen Jiongming with great importance, but the two had different political views. Later, Chen Jiongming instigated his subordinates to shell the Presidential Palace, and wanted to kill Sun Dapao, and the two officially parted ways. However, during his rule in Guangdong, Chen Jiongming resolutely banned smoking and gambling, which was praised by the people of Guangdong. He was honest all his life and was praised by many upper-class people.

From 1901 to 1905, Chen Jiongming ran the newspaper for a long time, but none of them could develop and were difficult to maintain, so he had to stop it. He lived in his hometown. By 1906, he was 29 years old and only entered the Guangdong Law and Political School to study. Two years later, 31-year-old Chen Jiongming graduated from the Guangdong Law and Political School with the best grades.

The following year, Chen Jiongming was elected as a member of the Guangdong Advisory Council. He once jointly proposed to ban all gambling, but unfortunately he was not approved. In the winter of the same year, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to Shanghai to participate in the Federation of Advisory Councils of various provinces and secretly joined the Tongmenghui.

In 1910, Chen Jiongming, who was already 33 years old, secretly participated in the Guangdong New Army Uprising, but unfortunately he failed to succeed. Later, he set up a "Southern Coordination Department" with Huang Keqiang, Hu Hanmin and others in Hong Kong to prepare for an uprising in Guangdong.

On March 29, 1911, the Huang Huagang Uprising broke out. Huang Xing was the captain of the first team of the pioneer "Suicide Squad", Mo Jipeng was the captain of the third team, and Chen Jiongming was the captain of the fourth team. Unfortunately, the final attack on the Guangdong Governor's Office failed, and Chen Jiongming had no choice but to escape to Kowloon, Hong Kong.

In June of the same year, Chen Jiongming and Liu Shifu and others planned to bomb the naval commander Li Zhun, but unfortunately they finally allowed the other party to escape. On October 10, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng and others responded in Huizhou. The land admiral Qin Bingzhi surrendered in Huizhou City and handed over the Qing army under his jurisdiction to Chen Jiongming with official documents, including the commander of Hong Zhaolin's troops. In November, the Qing Dynasty's Guangdong Governor Zhang Mingqi left, and he led his troops to Guangzhou. Guangdong announced that the **, electing Hu Hanmin as the governor and Chen Jiongming as the deputy governor. In December, Hu Hanmin went to Nanjing with Sun Dapao to organize a provisional government, and Chen Jiongming was able to act as the governor and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong North Expedition Army.

In 1912, Chen Jiongming, who was already 35 years old, finally realized his long-cherished wish in January of this year, strictly prohibited smoking and gambling in Guangdong; demolished the city walls of Guangzhou, opened roads; selected students to study in the United States and Japan. In April, Sun Dapao removed his position as a temporary president, and returned to Guangzhou with Hu Hanmin and others, preparing to help Hu Hanmin regain the position of governor. At the welcome meetings from all walks of life, Sun Dapao took Hu Hanmin's hands to publicize Hu's revolutionary achievements to himself, and signaled Chen Jiongming to give way. The next day, Chen left the general seal and walked to Hong Kong. However, Hu Hanmin was unable to lead the army and ordered Chen to return to Guangzhou to serve as the "General Appeasement Office Strategy", sorted out military affairs and maintained public order.

Zhong Yang felt funny when he saw this. Did Sun Dapao's head be pinched by the door panel? He actually let Chen Jiongming, who had the military and political power, give way. What does he mean? Do you want to arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of the real power figures? Why do you love Zhong Yang's idea? Isn't it because Chen Jiongming and Sun Dapao have the wrong way, so Sun Dapao took the opportunity to do the suppression. He was so kind of solemn and forced Chen Jiongming to bow his head in public. This is what politicians are like, playing tricks that cannot be put on the table all day long, and it is difficult to take big responsibilities.

With this disdainful expression, Zhong Yang continued to watch. It turned out that when the Tongmenghui was changed to the Chinese Revolutionary Party, the Guangdong branch was established, and Chen Jiongming took over as the branch chief. That monster was able to recruit so many revolutionary patriots, and it turned out that he was also a big name among the Xinhai Party members.

In Zhong Yang's view, Hu Hanmin's planning in the residence was actually one of the important reasons for the division between Sun Dapao and Chen Jiongming. Hu Hanmin, who was originally a political fence-bearer at both ends of snakes and rats, in order to taste his ambition to be his secretary of the Provisional Presidential Office of the Republic of China, Hu Hanmin left Guangdong and Sun Dapao to Nanjing. Unfortunately, after Yuan Shikai shattered his dream, he was forced to come back to Guangdong to seize power. What an ugly face and embarrassing appearance.

Although Chen Jiongming surrendered under the oppression of Sun and Hu. Not long after, in June 1913, Yuan Shikai removed Hu Hanmin from his position as the governor of Hu Hanmin and appointed Chen Jiongming to succeed him. However, Chen Jiongming did not turn to Yuan Shikai because of this, and still announced the revenge of Yuan in July. As a result, Chen Jiongming was expelled by Long Jiguang of the Gui army, fled to Singapore and traveled to Europe. From this we can see that Chen Jiongming really had a revolutionary who insisted on himself, and was not a fence-bearer.

In July 1914, Sun Yat-sen formed the "Revolutionary Party of China" in Japan and took office as prime minister, requiring party members to swear allegiance and also to have fingerprints on the oath. Chen Jiongming believed that "striking fingerprints" was inappropriate, but Sun insisted on it, so Chen Jiongming refused to participate. This is the second reason why Sun and Chen split later.

In 1916, Yuan Shikai was renamed "Hong Xian", and Chen Jiongming returned from Singapore and sneaked back to Dongjiang through Hong Kong. He fought against Yuan in Huizhou and fought with Long Jiguang, the Gui army. After Yuan died, the war ended. In October, after the Dragon Army withdrew from Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming asked Guangdong Governor Zhu Qinglan to take over to appease the complex situation in Guangzhou.

In 1917, Chen Jiongming, Sun Yat-sen, Cheng Biguang and others, who were nearly 40 years old, arrived in Guangzhou on warships. In September, Sun Yat-sen organized the military government to serve as the Grand Marshal and announced the law protection. At that time, the army of the Guangxi soldier Cen Chunxuan and Lu Rongting still occupied Guangdong. Chen Jiongming advocated that he must have military power first and then develop, and made special suggestions to Sun Yat-sen. At this time, when the governor Zhu Qinglan and the governor Chen Bingkun were disagreeing with the governor Chen Bingkun, Zhu Qinglan judged the situation. In order to lay a line of revenge and repay Chen Jiongming's friendship, he specially assigned the 20th guard battalion to Chen Jiongming and appointed him as the "personal commander of the Governor's Office", but Guangdong Governor Chen Bingkun came forward to stop him. Soon after, Chen Bingkun resigned and succeeded Guangdong Governor Mo Rongxin still took over the 20th guard battalion, but he was not allowed to station in Guangdong with the conditions.

At this point, Chen Jiongming finally had his own troops again, and Sun Dapao also appointed him as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Guangdong Army Aiding Fujian" and Deng Keng as the Chief of Staff.

In 1918, the Chen family held a oath-taking meeting for Fujian aid in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou. On January 15, Marshal Sun gave way to the Guangdong army to the military government and gave a brief speech: "The military government was established for several months without any progress. After Commander Chen tried his best to manage it, he had this army to implement the law protection and rebuild the republic. He really had high hopes." The commander-in-chief Chen Jiongming was appointed as the middle road, and Xu Chongzhi and Deng Keng were appointed as commanders on the left and right, and advanced to Fujian. In February, Chen arrived in Shantou and entered Fujian, and obtained Zhangzhou as a base.

But in May of the same year, Sun Dapao was expelled from Guangdong by the Guangxi clan and went to Shanghai to live.

Now, Chen Jiongming is already a 42-year-old middle-aged vulgar uncle. He is accumulating strength in Zhangzhou to prepare to fight back to Guangdong, actively train soldiers in the Zhangzhou area, improve municipal affairs, open up roads, rectify education, develop culture, send overseas students, and start newspapers, presenting a new atmosphere.

Of course, because Chen Jiongming has not completely broken up with Sun Dapao, even though there is a lot of dirty and unhappy between the two big names, at least in the internal information of the revolutionary party, Chen Jiongming is still praised. Especially the reform of his new policy in the Zhangzhou area is effective and has always been talked about.

In fact, Zhong Yang finally realized that there was no personal grudge between Chen Jiongming and Sun Dapao. Their conflict was entirely caused by political disagreement.

Sun Dapao and Chen Jiongming had different backgrounds and had different life backgrounds, so their ideas for revolution were different. Sun Dapao, as an overseas Chinese, traveled to and from the United States and Japan, or the Shanghai Concession, advocated the "Northern Expedition Unification" to solve problems with force. Chen Jiongming started from his hometown and became a "counselor" member of the late Qing Dynasty. He devoted himself to the "Huanghuagang" Uprising. During the special period, he fought hard and practiced, and was responsible for military and political responsibilities. Regarding the sufferings of his hometown, he believed that the first thing was to build Guangdong well and then have the strength to talk about other things. Therefore, he was unable to convince Sun Dapao, who only knew how to talk a lot, and this was the main reason for the split between the two of them in the future.

Compared to Sun Dapao who was unrestrained by blowing his cowhide, Zhong Yang admired Chen Jiongming who was willing to be down-to-earth. To a certain extent, Chen Jiongming's approach is the most appropriate. Based on his own base and developing and growing, he only considered other things. This is a steady political concept. However, Sun Dapao was very talented and did not want to do such unpleasant things. Instead, he wanted to learn from the enthusiasm of the scholars and scattered the heroic spirit of the north, south, west and east with one sword.

Little did they know that Sun Dapao was repeatedly robbed of the revolutionary achievements because of his unstable foundation and no loyal private armed forces, and eventually failed. If he had not finally achieved great enlightenment and formed the Huangpu Group, the Northern Expedition would have been just a fantasy.

Although I admire Chen Jiongming very much, Zhong Yang did not dare to pull such people into the group. It is difficult for someone who has been the boss to be a younger brother to others. This has nothing to do with personal character. It is not safe because once ambition is activated, it will be difficult to take it back. Zhong Yang never felt that he could control such a big person. If he could do it, he could scare and scare small people like Chen Ze and others who have not seen big scenes.

When I learned that Chen Jiongming was in Zhangzhou, I saw that the old guy Mo Rongxin could no longer sit still. As expected, Guangdong still had to be managed by the people themselves. The Guangxi warlords crossed the boundary with their hands wearing shoes, and it would not last long.

Zhong Yang, who made up his mind to help Chen Jiongming recover Guangdong, has decided to send some arms and money to the other party. This level of show of goodwill can leave a good impression on the other party to a large extent. It is a good political bonus.
