. Chapter 277 Union?

The news comes out again and the whole country is excited!

The reporters outside the Presidential Palace have been waiting. As the sky gets darker, they are still waiting. As the sun sets, they are still waiting. As night falls and the lanterns begin to light up, the reporters are still waiting eagerly. Two National Defense Force guards, one on the left

On the right, standing under the steps at the entrance of the main building. In the hall inside the door, dozens of officials are also waiting anxiously.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Almost every newspaper office and printing house in Nanjing is shouting this word.

Finally, the door inside the hall opened. Sun and Fang Jianxiong walked out side by side. Facing the crowd, Fang Jianxiong made a respectful gesture. Sun stepped forward and said: "After emergency consultations, the provisional government navy will temporarily be assigned to the National Defense Force for deployment.

, preparations for the Surabaya task force. The Nanjing Provisional Government and the National Defense Force solemnly announced that if there is no satisfactory response from the Dutch government within a week, the task force will send troops to Surabaya and formally declare war on the Dutch government!"

As soon as these words came out, there was thunderous applause. Both the officials of the provisional government and social sages, as well as Fang Jianxiong's entourage, were all applauding desperately. The reporters outside the gate also cheered: Long live the National Defense Force, Commander Fang

Long live?

The shout spread quickly, and all the reporters followed suit. Sun's expression remained unchanged, and he looked up and saw that the others were not so well-mannered. Their expressions changed one after another, and those who were excited were Chen Qimei, Li Liejun, Zhang Peijue and others.

Just lower your face.

Marshal Fang glanced at the door calmly and said to himself: "Which bastard shouted like that? I want to express my appreciation for you!"

Under the farewell of the guards, the reporters quickly dispersed. The disturbing cheers also dissipated. Everyone who stayed in the hall also dispersed. Marshal Fang declined Sun's request for a dinner and said directly

After returning to the hotel to rest, there were still many things waiting to be done. Sun expressed his understanding and personally sent the car to him, and sent the cavalry team to escort Marshal Fang to the Nanjing Hotel to check in.

Marshal Fang's car was not driving very fast this time. There were guards trotting behind and behind him. It was a scene in Nanjing at night. There were loud footsteps. In the middle was a car, or was it Sun Dashuai?

The president's car.

Watching the team disappear, President Sun turned around and said to everyone: "Deputy heads of various departments, come to my place for a meeting."

In Sun's office, all the attendees soon arrived. Everyone seemed to be in a heavy mood. The scene that had just happened was like a shadow hanging over their hearts. The damn reporters actually shouted, "The National Defense Forces are foreigners!"

"Long live Commander Fang!"

What is this going on? Are these reporters out of their minds? They don’t know where this place is? Everyone is holding this in their hearts, but no one is the first to say it. When the atmosphere is a bit depressing, the tempers are relatively irritable.

Chen Qimei slapped the table and said: "Fang Fuguo, you can't keep him!"

"Yingshi, you are so impudent, are there any people who talk like this? We are all revolutionary comrades!" Sun scolded majestically. Chen Qimei sat down silently. The dignitaries from various departments also lowered their heads and remained silent. Sun's eyes fell on Huang

When Xing was on his head, the man sighed and said: "Yixian, if we can persuade Fang Fuguo to join forces with us and send troops to the Northern Expedition, I will be willing to give up the position of commander-in-chief."

Sun Yixian was feeling complicated at the moment, or rather anxious. If he could not reach an agreement with Fang Jianxiong, he would have to compromise with Yuan Shikai. Wouldn't that mean that he would join forces with Yuan Shikai? It is estimated that few people in this group would agree. But Fang Fuguo still refused.

Be willing to let go!

"Yixian, why don't I go and talk to Fang Fuguo. In fact, what Fang Fuguo did in the United Autonomous Region can be regarded as a more national idea." Hu Hanmin took the initiative to ask for help, raised his hand to push up his glasses, and his cheeks moved on his fair face.

A few times.

"No need, everyone. Fang Fuguo has officially stated his attitude and will advance and retreat together with the Nanjing Provisional Government. Once the Nanjing government's Northern Expeditionary Army is reorganized and Yuan Shikai is still unwilling to go south, the two armies will jointly send troops north to pacify Beiyang and establish a republic!" Sun Yixian suddenly raised his voice.

With a loud voice and an excited look on his face, he raised his hand and waved vigorously: "Comrades! The Republic of China with a republican system will be born in our hands. At that time, a national election will be held, and a provisional parliament will be formed by members from each province to elect a prime minister and cabinet.

Government. If Yuan Shikai goes south, I will fulfill my promise, formally resign, and hold national elections."

Such a news immediately ignited the conference room, and everyone showed excitement. Several people who knew military knowledge looked worried. Instead of showing excitement, their anxiety intensified.

Sun Yixian understood in his heart, and said with an excited expression: "Comrades from other departments will go back first. This matter is an absolute secret and must not be leaked. The comrades from the Army Department will stay for a while, and the British soldiers will stay."

Most of the people in the office have left, and the remaining ones include Huang Xing, Jiang Zuobin, Chen Qimei, Lan Tianwei, and Zhang Peijue.

"Everyone understands the situation very well! The key now is the reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Fang Jianxiong is not optimistic about our reorganization, so he is unwilling to join forces with us. This is because he is worried that we will hold him back. Comrades, in everyone's hearts

Tell me what you think." Sun Yixian was throwing out his trump card and forcing everyone to express their stance.

"There is no problem in Chongqing. They firmly support the president and can start reorganization at any time!" Zhang Peijue was the first to stand up and express his position. After leaving Chongqing, he arrived in Nanjing at the time when the Qing Dynasty abdicated. Xia Zhishi left on his own initiative and went to Shanghai, saying

Then he went to Japan to study and continue his military studies.

"There is no problem in Shanghai. Just rest assured, President. The only headache is the lack of equipment." Chen Qimei's attitude is also very clear. He has always been a die-hard loyalist.

"Yixian, the current problem is still financial. There is not much left of the previous 10 million." Huang Xing, who has not expressed his position, raised the most troublesome question.

"Chen Lansheng reported that through the issuance of national bonds, plus the salt tax from Lianghuai, two million can be raised. The Bank of China can also raise one million." Sun Yixian gritted his teeth and said this.

After all, the so-called Bank of China bills are just banknotes. Fang Jianxiong firmly opposed the military bills. He would not touch this taboo and could only avoid it.

"We must also force the provinces to allocate part of their finances to support the central government. Otherwise, the current provincial governors and military governors will all be removed from their posts." Lan Tianwei suddenly said this. Everyone looked at him neatly, but no one took the words. Lan Tianwei's face

There was no expression, but there was a feeling of coldness in his heart. It was not because of the indifference of these people, but because from this incident, the provisional government's binding force on the local area made it difficult for people to have confidence.

"The ordnance purchased by Japan has arrived in Shanghai. The three divisions in Nanjing will be reorganized first, and then the Northern Expeditionary Army will reorganize five divisions first. The personnel must be used well, and the system must be imitated by the National Defense Forces. Human rights and financial rights must be firmly established.

Keep it firmly in the hands of the Ministry of War, otherwise there will be warlords, big and small, in the future. When the house was purged to suppress Yuan Shikai and seize his power, a lot of effort was put into military power. But what was the result? Financial power was not directly transferred to the hands of town controllers at all levels.

Use these controls to control the army. As a result, when the gunshots were fired in Wuchang and Anqing, the Beiyang Army did not listen to orders at all. The lessons from the past are right in front of us, and we must take them as a warning." Jiang Zuobin can be said to be a typical representative who suffered deeply from it.

, when Yuan Shikai was brought home, Jiang Zuobin, who was helped by Liangbi, spent a lot of effort and thought of many ways, but the final result was dismal.

It can be said that no one present could hate the old military system as deeply as Jiang Zuobin.

Jiang Zuobin's words really touched Sun's heart. Sun raised his eyes and looked at Huang Xing and said: "Keqiang, it's time to make up your mind. Since the revolution and the Northern Expedition, you should know better than anyone else that the current army

The current situation cannot be changed."

"Okay, we can reorganize the five divisions in Nanjing and the five divisions in Xuzhou first. Those who don't listen to orders will be disarmed. In addition, we need time to inform Cai Hanqing that the urging can be postponed. Judging from the current situation, at least

It will take five months. In addition, for financial issues, some fees and showdowns can be appropriately resumed. The Ministry of Finance will send people to the provinces to implement it." Huang Xing gritted his teeth and said this. Since the establishment of the interim government, the provinces

There are many cancellations of fees and assessments.

"Don't worry about this now. We'll wait until the troops are reorganized." Sun pondered for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

……………………

Marshal Fang never expected that his little wings would actually cause history to embark on an abnormal path at this time. The Nanjing Provisional Government had the money to launch the Northern Expedition, but after its military failure, it discovered some fatal

reasons, and therefore made some adjustments to the military system. It can be seen that Sun and Huang's generation are all smart people. They should have discovered these problems in history, but they were trapped by financial pressure and the huge military problems brought by Beiyang.

Under pressure, he finally chose to compromise with Yuan Shikai.

In this time and space, because of the rise of Marshal Fang, the so-called legend of the Beiyang Army's invincibility is simply a joke. The Nanjing government, which did not feel much military pressure, did not have serious financial difficulties. It was even more important to firmly grasp Yuan Shikai's lack of power.

Kennan’s little braid is still there.

At the Nanjing Grand Hotel, the First Division of the National Defense Force's security company arrived first and unceremoniously invited the soldiers who had been guarding inside to come out, leaving Taiman in charge of the outside. Inside the hotel, after a search up and down, left and right, it took nearly an hour.

At the same time, a special chef was sent to the kitchen to take over the business, so that the commander could stay in the hotel with confidence.

The person responsible for sending Fang Jianxiong back was Yao Yuping, the ** division commander of the Guangdong Northern Expeditionary Army. When Fang Jianxiong got out of the car, he did not forget to sarcastically say: "General Fang is very cautious! He is so majestic when facing a powerful enemy!"

Fang Jianxiong smiled and nodded slightly: "Sorry, there are too many enemies in Nanjing. Even if I sleep, I have to keep one eye open. I don't want to be shot again."

After saying nothing, Yao Yuping snorted and left. Fang Jianxiong walked into the door under the escort of the guards. The entourage had already arrived and was waiting. When Fang Jianxiong came in, everyone stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Jianxiong's eyes were apologetic.

, look around

circle, and finally fell on a few female soldiers. These female soldiers were all brought by Yin Ruizhi at his insistence. They have good skills and dare to risk their lives. They are also women who are easily ignored, and their effects are better than those of male soldiers. (Welcome to you.)

Your support is my greatest motivation.)
