Chapter 201 Long Jiguang Envoy

In the three days from January 15 to January 18, the domestic situation quickly heated up from its original calm to boiling, revolution, uprising, rebellion, and siege spread across provinces and cities. This was like a contagious virus. At the beginning, it was incubation period, but now it was an outbreak period.

There are many newspapers in Shaoguan. In addition to local newspapers, they can often receive newspapers from other provinces, although they are basically expired. This shows that Shaoguan is indeed a place with developed transportation.

It is the 19th day today. During this period, Wu Shaoting has completed the reorganization of the Shaoguan Patrol Army and officially won the Sixth Regiment. However, the current system of the Sixth Regiment is not too neat. The regiment headquarters is almost empty and the regiment commander has not been appointed yet. Wu Shaoting is not in a hurry to find the leader of the Sixth Regiment, and first let the division guard battalion supervise the Sixth Regiment for training. For him, the world outside Guangdong Province is in chaos, but he can enjoy the stability alone.

The only function of the Great Revolution was to overthrow the Qing government, and this country with vast land and wealth would inevitably lead to an era of warlord separatism.

Since this fact is known, we must take advantage of this time to vigorously develop our strength.

However, what made Wu Shaoting feel a headache was that the twenty-three towns of Long Jiguang fell from the sky. Long Jiguang was originally a chieftain in Guangxi, so he had to go to Guangdong to grab territory if he didn't stay in Guangxi and became a local warlord! He remembered that in history, Long Jiguang occupied the areas of east, west, south and Hainan Island, which were all remote areas. Even if he later became the governor of Guangdong with the support of the Beiyang government, it was just a flash in the pan.

But then again, this confirms that Long Jiguang has the strength to dominate!

He has been thinking about this for the past few days, how can he pull out the nail Long Jiguang.

You should know that the 23rd Town of Long Jiguang are old-fashioned troops, and there are at least 5,000 people under their command.

These five thousand people are not like the Shaoguan Patrol Army. Like the first in the revolutionary Guangdong Army, they are all from a new army, all have the best equipment, and have received good training. The training level is just different. However, in terms of combat experience, the twenty-three towns are much richer than the first division. Before being trained, the twenty-three towns participated in the Sino-French War, and have been responsible for suppressing bandits and suppressing the association in recent years.

In contrast, the First Division only had the experience of uprising and rebelling, and the only decent battle was the Battle of Shaoguan, and the opponent was still hesitant and could not stop the patrol army.

If the First Division really had to fight with the Twenty-Three Towns, without the assistance of the Navy, it would be a very tragic ending.

Just when Wu Shaoting was disturbing Long Jiguang's affairs, Shaoguan County Government suddenly received a telegram, saying that the person who sent the telegram was not someone else, but the attendant of the Twenty-Three Towns, but the location where the telegram was sent was neither Wuzhou nor Yunfu, but Guangzhou. The content of the telegram was to inform Wu Shaoting that an official sent by Long Jiguang was about to arrive in Shaoguan from Guangzhou to north, hoping to meet with him. I think Long Jiguang's envoy first came to Guangzhou to meet Hu Hanmin, and then came to visit Wu Shaoting.

After receiving this telegram, Wu Shaoting couldn't help but wonder what Long Jiguang sent someone to find him at this time. What does this mean? When he first met Long Jiguang two years ago, he found that this future warlord was not a simple person, but no matter what, as a person who knows the direction of history, he also knew that Long Jiguang would end up failing.

During these ten days, Long Jiguang saw the key points of the situation in Guangdong at a glance. This can be seen from his transfer of troops to Yunfu. The 23 towns had the number of Guangdong New Army, so it was naturally impossible to occupy land in Guangxi. In addition, the powerful Guangxi Lu Rongting of Guangxi would certainly not give the 23 towns any chance. It can be said that Long Jiguang's change was just right. It not only saw the changes in Guangxi, but also saw the current darkness of Guangdong, but also avoided the radiation of the Guangdong Navy.

Then this time I sent me to meet, I must have come prepared.

Wu Shaoting even felt that Long Jiguang knew him, the president of the revolutionary Guangdong Army. If this was the case, then this meeting might be a non-violent contest.

The telegram was delivered on the afternoon of the 18th. It only takes two days to get from Guangzhou to Shaoguan by water.

The next morning, the representative figure of Long Jiguang was picked up by Shaoguan Wharf. Wu Shaoting received the other party at the headquarters. Now Shaoguan County Government and the headquarters share a house. The original county government was divided into two parts, with the county government in front and the second division headquarters behind. Wu Shaoting did not go to the county government gate to greet him, but stood at the entrance of the commander waiting for the visitor to pass through the county government.

The representative sent by Long Jiguang was the chief of the attendant department of the Twenty-Three Towns. He saw that the other party was wearing a suit and had braids on his head. He was about thirty years old, but in his momentum, he felt like an old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life. He was led in by a civil servant of the county government, followed by four followers in the same suit, and the followers were dragging their braids like him.

Just seeing this style, Wu Shaoting felt that Long Jiguang was doing this on purpose. It seemed that the person named Long was indeed not a good bird.

After passing a corridor separated from the county government and the headquarters, Deng Keng was waiting for greeting at the intersection of the corridor.

The other party greeted Deng Keng politely and walked over to this side.

When Wu Shaoting was a few steps away from the headquarters gate, he walked up with a smile, stretched out his hands to show his hand to bow, and the man also wanted to bow. But at this moment, Wu Shaoting suddenly changed, poked out one hand and changed the handshake ceremony. However, the other party was caught off guard, and his hands were already hugged together, and he suddenly became embarrassed.

"So sir is still used to the Qing Dynasty." Wu Shaoting said sarcastically.

He doesn't have to give Long Jiguang any face now. He is not a small battalion commander or a small whistleman before. He is on par with Long Jiguang in terms of strength and status, and is even slightly better. Although he can't move Long Jiguang now, that also means Long Jiguang can't move him!

The other party was stunned and suddenly became angry, but he hid it very well. Not only did he not write down his dissatisfaction on his face, but the previous embarrassment disappeared quickly. He laughed and said self-satisfiedly: "President Wu is really funny. He just met him and made a joke."

Wu Shaoting laughed and did not continue to make things difficult for him.

The other party adjusted his posture and said calmly: "I already know President Wu, but President Wu may not know this little person. I am Cai Naihuang, whose courtesy name is Xingju, is the chief of the 23rd Town Office."

"It turns out to be Mr. Cai, I'm lucky to meet you." Wu Shaoting smiled mechanically, then turned around and invited the other party and his group to walk into the headquarters compound. In fact, he is not unfamiliar with the name Cai Naihuang. Although Cai Naihuang was indeed a small person in the history of the Republic of China, he was named Liushi Shu. This person was one of Long Jiguang's confidants. The reason why he was named Liushi Shu was because he and Long Jiguang's other confidant Yan Qihan jointly committed the "Haizhu Massacre" of hunting and killing revolutionaries.

However, the "Haizhu Massacre" was exaggerated by historical novels. It only killed two members of the revolutionary party and injured several people. This has nothing to do with Wu Shaoting. History has begun to go on a fork in 1910, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.

When they arrived at the small living room on the side of the headquarters compound, Wu Shaoting and Cai Naihuang sat together with their hosts and guests, and the rest of the escorts also sat down.
