    Seeking to win over Guangdong and Guangxi?  Take Guangdong first?  Everyone couldn't help but marveled in unison.

    This answer made Sun Yuanqi feel horrified, but Yang Du still didn't realize it: "The two rivers (including today's Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Shanghai) are the source of humanity and wealth in the world. In the former Qing Dynasty, only Zhili could compete with them.  High and low, so South and Beiyang have always been called together. The importance of Beiyang lies in status and elite soldiers, while the importance of Nanyang lies in talents and wealth. The two complement each other. If the Beiyang system occupies the two rivers this time, it will be like a tiger with added wings and cannot be copied. Therefore, Yuan Xiangcheng's focus on the two rivers  We are determined to win. If we don't take the opportunity to expand our territory, we will definitely be at a disadvantage in future competitions.

    "We have Shaanxi-Gansu and Shanxi in the north, Sichuan and half of Huguang in the middle. It's like the dragon in Go has two real eyes and one false eye. Life and death are still unknown. You must create another real eye to survive, and this real eye  It is Guangdong and Guangxi (including current Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan). Facing Nanyang, Guangdong and Guangxi enjoy the benefits of foreign trade. There are many foreign companies and foreign businessmen gather. After Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, it has ranked above Huguang and has become the third flower among the eight governors. Among them, Guangdong  And the most powerful thing is that if we occupy this place, the north and south will be connected as one, and Yuan Xiangcheng will be tied up and will have no room to move!"

    Jiang Zhiqing said: "What Xizi said is wonderful. If we get the Guangdong and Guangxi, we can also connect Fujian and Zhejiang to the north. It is said that Mr. Sun has already set up points in Jiangsu, so Yuan Xiangcheng doesn't have to worry about it! It's just that it's not less than two thousand miles from Changsha to Guangzhou, even if the road is smooth.  , the day lilies should be cold by the time we get there! Moreover, once we conquer Guangdong and Guangxi, the defense line will stretch from Shanxi to Shaanxi in the north and Hunan and Guangdong in the south. We need to station heavy troops everywhere and beware of Yuan Xiangcheng's evil tricks at all times. I'm afraid we are not strong enough.  Not caught!"

    Yang Du smiled and said: "Answer the first question first. Although it only takes a moment for Anhui to defeat Yuan's army, it is not easy for Yuan Xiangcheng to take over both rivers! As I said just now, Li Xiehe of Gan Province is not an easy person.  It is quite prestigious in Jiangxi, and the Gan army is not afraid of death, so it may not be solved overnight. In addition, Jiangning is the original seat of the Provisional Republic of China government. Bai Liewu, Huang Keqiang and others will definitely stay here after their retreat from Anhui. There is a natural danger in the Yangtze River  , the rivers and ravines in the territory are densely covered, and the Beiyang Army was unable to be caught off guard for a while. Therefore, the war should not end in the past month.

    "Although Changsha is nearly two thousand miles away from Guangzhou, railways have been laid from Changsha to Zhuzhou and from Shaoguan to Guangzhou. What is needed is to walk the section of less than a thousand miles from Zhuzhou to Shaoguan. A quick march of half a month is enough to reach it. Concentrate superior forces  , it will take half a month to clean up Guangzhou and surrounding areas, I believe it should be more than enough. As for other prefectures and counties in Guangdong Province, don¡¯t bother waiting until the governor of Guangdong is established and then slowly wipe them out."

    Chen Xun'en reminded at this time: "Mr. Xizi, as far as I know, there are two regular army divisions and one mixed brigade in Guangdong, with a strength of 30,000 to 40,000 people; and our army has only invaded Hunan with more than 10,000 people from the Second Division of the Hubei Army."  There is a huge disparity in the number of people between them. I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult to concentrate superior forces to clean up Guangzhou and surrounding areas in the short term, right?¡±

    "Yes, Guangdong does have the First Division, the Second Division and the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Guangdong Army, but Yanji only knows one thing about Guangdong's military deployment and not the other!" Yang Du replied confidently: "First of all,  Although there are many troops stationed in Guangdong, there are not many troops stationed on the front line in Shaoguan and Guangzhou. According to preliminary investigations, those stationed in Shaoguan are the independent brigade of Zhang Zicao (Zhang Woquan. My power is self-operated, the name is so domineering!), and those stationed in Guangzhou are  The three infantry regiments of the 1st Division of Zhong Bo'an (Zhong Dingji), the two infantry battalions of the 2nd Division of Su Ziqi (Su Shenchu), the artillery regiment, and the engineering supply battalion, and the rest of the troops are stationed in Huizhou, Gaozhou, Lianzhou and other places, and these troops  It is beyond the control of division and brigade commanders.

    "Secondly, although Guangdong has a large number of soldiers, the military strength is not uniform. The division commanders of these troops have no intention of attacking Yuan, and some have even colluded with Yuan Xiangcheng for a long time; as for the middle and lower-level officers, there are no revolutionaries in the first division, and there are no revolutionaries in the second division.  Although there are not many divisions, only the independent brigade has the largest number. However, the governor of Guangdong, Hu Zhantang (Hu Hanmin), in response to the sentiments of the governor of Gansu, Li Xiehe, planned to divide the first division, the second division and the independent brigade into three.  The detachment rushed to Jiangxi by land to support the fight against Yuan. Among them, the independent brigade was stationed in Shaoguan, the closest to Jiangxi, and was about to head north in the near future, which would virtually relieve a lot of pressure on our army.

    "Third, we are not the only ones who have ideas for Guangdong. It is reported that Yuan Xiangcheng is planning to appoint Long Zicheng (Long Jiguan) as the governor of Guangdong and lead his 'Ji Army' from Wuzhou, Guangxi to the east to fight the rebellion. The Ji Army is Long Zi.  Cheng's private army has more than 10,000 soldiers and is quite capable. This will inevitably involve some of Guangdong's troops. And the reason why we want to solve the Hunan issue through negotiation this time is to use the First Division of the Hunan Army to go south.  Inside. Otherwise, if we bomb the Hunan Governor¡¯s Mansion and military camps indiscriminately, wouldn¡¯t it be simple and easy to solve the problem in Hunan Province in this way?¡±

    Chiang Kai-shek said: "It's still the same problem just now. Mr. Xizi borrowed all the soldiers from Hunan to go south., once Yuan Xiangcheng turns his back, wouldn't it be easy for Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong to be defeated individually?  "

    Yang Du shook his head: "After this battle, the ammunition, food and wages stored before the war will be exhausted. Within a year, Yuan Xiangcheng will be unable to start another war, because his money bag can only sustain this war, and this is before he  Under the premise of misappropriating part of the large loan for the aftermath. If he forcibly launches a war, as long as we can barely hold on for a month, he will collapse without a fight!

    "Of course, we cannot place our hopes entirely on Yuan Xiangcheng. Sun Tzu also said in "The Art of War": 'In the art of using war, do not rely on the enemy not coming, rely on us being ready to wait for him; do not rely on the enemy not attacking, rely on us  There is something that cannot be attacked.' After reaching a peace agreement with Tan Zuan, Baixi can issue an order to summon students from Hunan and Hubei provinces to reorganize the First Division of the Hunan Army and completely eradicate hidden dangers in the province."

    Sun Yuanqi nodded slightly: "The key now is how to reach a peace agreement with Tan Zuan as soon as possible?"

    Yang Du nodded and said: "That's right! The key point of this attack on Guangdong is the word 'quick', coercing the First Division of the Hunan Army to attack Guangdong at lightning speed, occupy Guangzhou before Yuan Xiangcheng is aware of it, and force the province to  The parliament elected him as the governor. If we struggle in Hunan for too long and Long Zicheng takes Guangzhou first, all our efforts will be wasted!"

    Sun Yuanqi pondered for a moment and replied: "As for Tan Zuan's peace negotiation conditions, in my opinion, it is okay to give him the position of governor, and other conditions can also be negotiated, but we have three principles: First, this time going south to Guangdong, the First Division of the Hunan Army  It must cooperate with the actions of the Second Division of the Hubei Army. The specific combat plan can be discussed in detail by Xizi together with Liu Bocheng, Yin Shuoquan and Zhao Yiwu. After this battle, the army of the entire province of Hunan must be selected and reorganized. Among them, the commander of the First Division of the Hunan Army can be made by Zhao Yiwu  If you continue to serve, Tan Zuan can also recommend another candidate, but the deputy division commander and the brigade commander of the first brigade must be appointed by us!

    "Secondly, the governor's office can withhold 30% of the taxes in Hunan Province as local financial resources, and the other 70% must be turned over. Of the 70% turned over, 10 to 20% will be returned to the local area as compulsory education funds, and the rest will be turned over to the national treasury  , we will not get involved at all. Lest Yuan Xiangcheng think that we are lining our own pockets and plotting evil intentions.

    "Third, the Hunan Governor's Office can appoint officials below the county level on its own and report them to us for archives; but for officials above the county level, Tan Zuan only has the right to recommend, not to decide. The final result requires our approval."  Zi, Changqing, what do you think? Do you have anything to add?"

    Yang Du shook his folding fan and replied: "Military power, financial power, and personnel power, as long as we hold these three firmly, I don't think Tan Zuan can make any big waves. The other things are just minutiae, so don't mention them."

    Yang Yongtai said: "Sir, should we stipulate that Tan Zuan must join the New China Party?"

    Sun Yuanqi was stunned: "Let Tan Zuan join the party?"

    "Exactly! When your Excellency served as the Director-General of Education in Zhao Zhi'an's cabinet, didn't the Kuomintang threaten you to implement a purely political party cabinet and force you to join the Kuomintang? In the end, Your Excellency and Jie Weng announced their resignation from the cabinet in anger, and Zhang Jizhi chose to rebel against the party.  Since the Kuomintang did it in the first grade, our New China Party has done it in the fifteenth grade!" Yang Yongtai said confidently, "What's more, after Tan Zuan joins the New China Party, we can also restrict it through party discipline and add an extra layer of insurance to Hunan's long-term peace and stability.  Woolen cloth?"

    I have to say that Yang Yongtai¡¯s proposal was very tempting, but Sun Yuanqi vetoed his proposal after thinking over and over again: ¡°Forcing him to do something is not sweet! We can suggest Tan Zu¡¯an to join the New China Party, but we cannot force him, lest he develop a rebellious mentality.  "

    After everyone agreed, Chen Xunen drafted a telegram and quickly sent it to Zuo Gongxian and Zeng Guangxi in Changsha, Hunan, entrusting them to negotiate with Tan Yankai and negotiate the surrender as soon as possible.

    In the following days, there were frequent telegram exchanges between Beijing and Hunan, and basically every clause required several rounds of back and forth between the north and the south.  Of course, negotiations were ongoing, and the Second Division of the Hubei Army, which had broken into Hunan, was not idle either. Instead, it marched at a rapid pace and marched all night and night towards Changsha. Finally, on the afternoon of the sixth day after the war, the vanguard arrived outside Changsha and set up a  A mortar fired a symbolic shell into the city.

    This sudden explosion of artillery was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

    At the last moment, Tan Yankai finally signed the peace agreement.  He then sent a telegram to the whole country, officially announcing that Hunan would change its flag, cancel its independence and support the central government, and all soldiers in Hunan would lay down their weapons, surrender to the Second Division of the Hubei Army stationed in the province and accept reorganization; and claimed that he would withdraw from the Kuomintang from that day on and join the New People's Republic of China.  Party of China.

    As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
