The trends of countries around the world are changing, and the trends of the Republic of China are also changing. The biggest change is the national financial system. The large-scale and strong promotion of the RMB, the ban on silver dollar transactions, and the abolition of other currency transactions made the people a little uncomfortable, but it accelerated the rise of the country's economy. In the first three months of the decade of the Republic of China, the national economy began to gradually recover. Except for the five provinces in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, the economy stagnated due to war economies, other provinces gradually recovered their vitality. After the Han Dynasty last year, as soon as the spring of this year, heavy rain fell in northern China, and China, which has many disasters, has to face disasters.

Sun Liwen arrived in Beijing in the rain in the north. Originally, Hu Han people (Note 4) suggested that Sun Liwen must be grand and grand when going north. However, this time it was Wang Maoru and Sun Wen's cooperation to bypass President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng. Therefore, if it was exposed openly, the negotiation would be ruined. After comprehensive consideration, Sun Liwen only brought four confidants to the north secretly, namely Hu Hanren, General Senator and Political Minister of the Army Command, Wang Zhaoming, Consultant of the Guangdong Government, Jiang Weiguang, Director of the Operations Section, and Lin Xiumei, Chief of the Sun Liwen's Guard.

In fact, among the four people, Hu Han people, Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Weiguang and Lin Xiumei, if we look at the trust ranking, Jiang Weiguang will undoubtedly be ranked last. He is even worse than Sun Liwen's guard chief Lin Xiumei.

After listening to Zhang Kui'an's advice, Jiang Weiguang's heart also became alive. If Sun Liwen accepted the conditions for cooperation with Wang Maoru, where would these military personnel go? It would be better to make plans earlier. Sun Liwen stayed in Guangzhou by Liao Zhongkai, the executive member of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party, who was responsible for taking over the work of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government. What they were worried about was that the conflict with Chen Jiongming became deeper and deeper. It would eventually lead to military conflicts, but the Democratic Party had no army and could only rely on fooling others to help the Democratic Party fight. Once the warlords betrayed, the Democratic Party had to flee in panic, just like Sun Liwen went to Shanghai repeatedly and took refuge in Japan.

Zhang Kui'an did not go north with Sun Liwen and his party. After persuading Sun Liwen to go north to go north and spy Wang Maoru, he stayed and continued to carry out the task of winning over. He hoped to have a detailed discussion with Chen Jiongming again and persuade Chen Jiongming to support national reunification.

Chen Jiongming was a pure soldier that Wang Maoru admired. He advocated the autonomy of the province, that is, to imitate the American federal system to form the Chinese federal government. He was committed to peaceful reunification. Chen Jiongming was a person who did not like the party and army, so although Sun Liwen trusted him very much, he handed over all the troops to him. He appointed Chen Jiongming as the commander of the Guangdong Army and the secretary of the Army of the Southern Revolutionary Government. However, the conflict between Chen Jiongming and Sun Liwen was getting deeper and deeper. Even Sun Liwen was the very president whom he appointed. He insisted on opposing it and protested that he did not participate in Sun Liwen's inauguration ceremony.

Logically speaking, with Sun Liwen's personality, Chen Jiongming, who was so embarrassed, should have been kicked away long ago. However, Chen Jiongming's nearly 20,000 Guangdong troops under him were also the reason why the Democratic Party did not dare to turn against them.

The person responsible for receiving Zhang Kui'an was Chen Jiongming's close Chief of Staff Deng Keng and Deputy Chief of Staff Li Jishen. Deng Keng is a person with a stern style and is very cold and warm outside. The Guangdong Army can establish many people. This lord's status in the Guangdong Army is no less than that in Chen Jiongming. When Deng Keng met Zhang Kui'an, he said: "Mr. Dingguo, Commander Chen is negotiating with British merchants. How can I take you to visit the Guangdong Army barracks?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "That's what you mean."

The Guangdong Army was able to overcome Guangdong by its energy, but the Guangdong Army's military strength was not strong. It lacked ammunition and equipment, and even lacked military pay and silver food. Therefore, although Zhang Kuian saw the most elite First Division of the Guangdong Army, he still saw a group of soldiers wearing patches, holding old rifles, and could not even guarantee the uniformity of gun models of soldiers in a company. Even the most elite First Division of the Guangdong Army's First Regiment was equipped with weapons supported by the National Defense Forces. The regiment commander Deng Yanda, who graduated from the Baoding Army's Non-commissioned Officer Academy, said to be an officer of the northern faction. In order to show Zhang Kuian the strongest Guangdong Army, Deng Yanda let the soldiers show their shooting, marching, sting and military appearance.

However, after Zhang Kui'an and others watched the performance of elite soldiers of the Guangdong Army, the guard commander Xia Ming spoke in Zhang Kui'an's ear. Zhang Kui'an smiled, and the Guangdong Army officer over there said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Our elite soldiers of the Guangdong Army are not called tigers?"

However, the Guangdong Army officers' Mandarin stumped Zhang Kui'an and other northerners present. Some people said that the heavens and the earth were not afraid of the earth, but the Guangdong people were afraid of Mandarin. The "Tiger Man" did not hear it clearly. Zhang Kui'an was shocked when he heard the death of "Tiger Meng", because the Northeast dialect describes a person as "tiger" that means that this person is stupid. Zhang Kui'an scratched his head and said why did he scold his subordinates for being fools?

Xia Ming is from Shaanxi. He is straightforward and depressed and doesn't like to talk. He is definitely straightforward once he speaks. In addition, he is young and energetic and has a hurry to temper, so he showed a disdainful expression and attitude and said: "Luzheng, in terms of spirit, equipment, logistics, and war, the Guangdong Army is not as good as the National Defense Force."

Deng Yanda was dissatisfied and said, "Then let's compare, where is the Guangdong Army worse than that?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Although I am not in the army, my commander guard was in the army, let him talk." At this time, a young soldier wearing a national defense force dress beside Zhang Kui'an salute and said, "I am the commander guard of Minister Zhang. Xia Ming from Xi'an, Shaanxi. He graduated from Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and served in the army for two years. Therefore, I will briefly introduce the differences between the Guangdong Army and the National Defense Forces that I saw. Let's talk about training first. The training of the National Defense Forces is accurate to every second. The sergeant clearly sees what kind of training is responsible for in a month. But I just asked the soldiers, and the soldiers didn't even know tomorrow's training plan, right?"

Deng Yanda's face turned slightly red and embarrassed, and Li Jishen said: "Indeed, I heard that the National Defense Force was born from the German Army and the Japanese Army?"

夏铭说道:“国防军建立之初所有行为准则以及训练计划,全部都是由秀帅亲自制定,其训练模本与方式为秀帅独创.后期德国教官与日本教官只是在秀帅的训练大纲上进行了修补而已,因此说国防军脱胎于德军与日军,完全是荒谬之言.再说论精神,我军从军官到士兵都知道为谁在作战,为何在作战,国防军之未来是什么样的,国防军士兵知道自己死后埋在哪里,谁来祭奠,自己的父母又没有人奉养.可是粤军之中即便是军官也很少知道贵军的精神理论三民主义,如果大家不信我可以随意点一个军官,看看他能不能懂什么叫做三民主义.”夏铭不屑一笑看看粤军军官,几个粤军军官顿时气得涨红了脸,恨不得撸起袖子揍他一顿.

Zhang Kui'an originally asked Xia Ming to analyze the aura of Deng Keng and others, but he didn't expect that the guard chief Xia Ming was so stunned. He directly interrupted the Guangdong Army's speech with nothing, and said with a smile: "Even in these unfavorable circumstances, the Guangdong Army can still expel the Gui Army with the weak and the strong. It is a rare act." The Guangdong Army officer then turned slightly. It was meaningless to continue visiting the Guangdong Army. The officer happened to report that the British merchants left. Chen Jiongming was about to receive Zhang Kui'an. Deng Keng turned to laugh: "Mr. Dingguo, Commander Chen is welcome."

Everyone seemed to be talking and laughing toward Chen Jiongming's living room. Yun Lishan patted Xia Ming's shoulder aside and laughed in a low voice: "Little fellow villager, you are really worthy of being our Shaanxi baby. You speak ruthlessly." Xia Ming sighed. His temper was so straightforward that it really cost him his life to speak tactfully.

The British businessman Chen Jiongming met was Charles Reidman, the general manager of the largest foreign company in China in Guangzhou. The UK's largest sales share in China was arms. The British sold arms and opium at the same time. Opium was sold to the Chinese people, and arms were sold to the Chinese people. Chen Jiongming secretly instructed taxes from all over Guangdong to the military, which led to the Kuomintang's lack of soldiers and money. Chen Jiongming carried a small treasury. However, his small treasury was not kept for himself. The army and various parts of Guangdong needed this small treasury to pay out money. The main reason why Chen Jiongming intercepted taxes was that he did not support Sun Yat-sen's Northern Expedition. He hoped that the Guangdong people would spend money on Guangdong construction, rather than the hopeless Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, the North has been unified, so why should the Northern Expedition? Relying on the strength of Guangdong Province and a place, the soldiers of the vast National Defense Forces in the Northern Expedition, Chen Jiongming defeated his hometown so much that he contributed to Lao Shizi's Northern Expedition.

In fact, Chen Jiongming himself contributed far more to Guangdong Province than the Democratic Party. When the people of Guangdong were in charge, the Democratic Party exhausted the resources of a province and spent the Northern Expedition. When the Northern Expedition Protector again, the people of Guangdong Province did not get any benefits, but instead became poorer. Later, after the Zhejiang system led the Democratic Party, they instead rejected and cracked down on officials from Guangdong, and Guangdong Province did not achieve civil development in people's livelihood. On the contrary, in just four years when Guangdong was in charge of Guangdong, Chen Jiongming, a Guangdong native, made great contributions to Guangdong Province, stabilized the economy, unified administration, established a modern police system, repaired roads and built people's livelihood, and established many primary and middle schools in various parts of Guangdong, which really did a lot of good facts for the people of Guangdong.

This time, Chen Jiongming was doing business with the British, and was preparing to further arm the army. At least the weapons and ammunition of the army soldiers should be supplemented. The Guangdong arsenal could only simply repair the weapons and defy Chen Jiongming because he was in the hands of the Democratic Party.

This is the second time that Zhang Kui'an has seen Chen Jiongming. The last time the two sides did not reach any agreement, but simply formed a relationship. This time, Zhang Kui'an sincerely hopes to talk to Chen Jiongming about the reorganization.

Note 4: Hu Han people were formerly a member of the People's Party and one of Sun Liwen's think tanks. They had a good relationship with Wang Zhaoming, but because of their support for Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Weiguang later undermined his power.
