    "As the governor of Henan, I represent Henan in breaking away from the Beiyang government, joining the Jiangsu and Anhui governments, and telegraphing out of office!" On June 21, Sun Chuanfang, the governor of Henan, issued a telegram that shocked the whole country. Henan broke away from Beiyang and joined the Jiangsu and Anhui governments.  Sun Chuanfang surprised everyone by electrifying himself and leaving the field. Deng Sen was even surprised that this warlord with an army of 200,000 in the Beiyang system turned to him.

    However, Deng Sen immediately ordered his men to respond.

    "We, the Jiangsu and Anhui Government, welcome the profound righteousness of Governor Sun of Henan. The Supreme Military Headquarters of the Jiangsu and Anhui Government announced that Henan will be included as part of the Jiangsu and Anhui Government, and the Henan Army will be incorporated into the Fourth Group Army, which will be the Sixth National Defense Army and the Seventh National Defense Army.  , Sun Chuanfang was appointed deputy commander, and Lieutenant General Hu Bin was appointed as interim commander. The divisions under him were served by former Henan officers, and the official ranks were changed according to the military ranks of the Jiangsu and Anhui governments. Sun Chuanfang was awarded the rank of general, and the commanders of his divisions were awarded lieutenant general.  Military rank, brigade level temporary military rank, pending subsequent approval."

    "It seems we made the right move!" Sun Chuanfang, in Zhengzhou, Henan, smiled happily while holding the telegram in his hand. This time he made the right bet. There are only a handful of Iron-Blooded Army generals even with the rank of Iron-Blooded Army. This shows that  His immediate surrender brought him bright prospects in the future.

    "The Marshal is wise! This time I don't have to fight to the death with the Iron-Blooded Army. Even if there is an army reorganization in the future, as long as we don't oppose it, the Generalissimo will definitely not treat us badly." Several division commanders under Sun Chuanfang were very disappointed with the current results.  [Excited] They are now among the ranks of lieutenant generals in the Jiangsu and Anhui governments. As long as they work hard in the future, I believe they can become generals before long. Even if they do not have the power they have today, it will be even more important to participate in the government conference as national heroes.  The highest honor they enjoy.

    "Don't call me commander-in-chief anymore! After a while, we will be the Fourth Group Army of the Jiangsu-Anhui National Defense Force, and our commander will be General Hu Bin. From now on, we will all follow the steps of the Jiangsu-Anhui Government National Defense Force. Now go back immediately  To rectify the troops, we must give General Hu a good impression." Although Sun Chuanfang felt a little unhappy that he failed to control his army, he knew in his heart that Deng Sen gave them a chance at this time to see their performance. Although Hu Bin came over  Strong, but the Henan army will still be in the hands of Sun Chuanfang. Sun Chuanfang naturally knows what to do next. He will not oppose Hu Bin and cooperate sincerely. As long as he does this, he can be accepted by Deng Sen's arrogant generals and become  one of them.

    "Deputy Commander, don't worry, we know what to do. We will eliminate those undisciplined soldiers as soon as possible, and the old and weak will also be expelled. However, in order to give the Supreme Commander a good impression, I think we should give a warning to the disbanded soldiers.  Explain, I suggest that no one pays 20 yuan for severance pay. We have collected a lot of money before. If the head of state knows about it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. Even if he does not punish us, he will not reuse us. We should use all our money.  Hand it over to repatriate the soldiers and hand it over to the government. Although it will cause us losses, it will also bring us greater benefits!" Sun Chuanfang's men are not a bunch of sacks, and Beiyang is not without talents.  , but in the big dye vat of Beiyang, many talents have changed their colors. Now that Sun Chuanfang and his masters have returned to their original colors, they will naturally think more deeply about the problem.

    "Okay! In that case, let's do this. Brothers, let's work hard together to reach our current position. Don't lose this opportunity to perform because of some external things." Sun Chuanfang nodded and glanced appreciatively at the men who spoke.  I also agree with what my subordinates said. For them, money may be important, but it is not as important as their future.

    In Nanjing, in the military and political building, Zhang Xiaozhun and Jiang Baili were standing together, and there was also a bald man, who was Chiang Kai-shek. The three of them stood in front of Deng Sen, looking at him with a trace of shamelessness.

    "F¨¹hrer, all the troops have been prepared. It is time for us to attack. However, in the past two days, a force from the Allied Powers sent us a telegram, asking us to stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek held a report in his hand and stood upright.  In front of Deng Sen, if you looked at him, you would not dare to imagine that he was a diplomat. Moreover, even after entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chiang Kai-shek still required to wear military uniforms. For Chiang Kai-shek who was full of military charm, Deng Sen really wanted to reuse him.  However, the evaluation of his later generations made Dunsun afraid to do that, so he was assigned a diplomat position.

    "Ask us to stabilize the situation? What qualifications do they have to ask us? Directly hold an international press conference, or the old saying, tell all countries first, [China] does not need any country to interfere in its internal affairs. Anyone who threatens or helps a certain party will do so.  We, the enemies of the Han nation, will sworn to be our enemies forever and declare war immediately." Hearing that the great powers even asked him to cease the war, Deng Sen stood up angrily. These foreigners, they have not yet??White status.

    But behind, Deng Sen looked at Chiang Kai-shek solemnly again, held Chiang Kai-shek tightly in his arms and said: "We are not the Manchus, I am not Li Hongzhang, I am Deng Sen, I am Deng Sen, the head of the iron-blooded Baath Party, we represent  The government of the honor and interests of the Han nation is not something they can bully at will! I hope, Jieshi, you will stand on the standpoint of the nation and speak as the spokesperson of our Jiangsu and Anhui governments to destroy the delusions of those foreign devils. I will give you my full strength. If any country dares to  Insult, then you have the right to declare war on it! The little "is the head of state!"  As a citizen of the Han nation, I will never lose even a little bit of national dignity!  "Chiang Kai-shek looked into Deng Sen's eyes. After being thrown into school by Deng Sen, he quickly accepted the ideas of the Jiangsu and Anhui governments, and at the same time became a nationalist, because he himself was one, but before he was the master of each other,  Now that he has surrendered, he will work harder for the nation here, although he will not be able to control the army in the future.

    "Very good! Go ahead!" Deng Sen nodded to Chiang Kai-shek, patted Chiang Kai-shek's shoulder gently, and Chiang Kai-shek also performed a military salute and strode away.

    Deng Sen looked at Chiang Kai-shek who was leaving. He arranged some people to monitor Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's performance made Deng Sen feel reassured at least recently. He still had high hopes for Chiang Kai-shek. However, after looking at it for a while, he turned around and looked back.  Xiang Xiaozhun.

    Zhang Xiaozhun saw Deng Sen looking over and said before Deng Sen could speak: "The head of state has fully prepared supplies, ammunition and weapons have been transported to the front line, indigenous slaves are clearing the way in front of the army, and there has been no turmoil in the factories within the jurisdiction due to the war."  ."

    "Well! That's good! Now what we want to promote is not only to overthrow Yuan Shikai, but also to promote the idea of ??reunifying the motherland. We must tell them that only when the motherland is unified can we become a truly powerful country, and the Han nation  They must become a whole. No one, no country, no force can split our [China] territory." Deng Sen attaches great importance to publicity. With the publicity of public opinion, he can unite the hearts of the people in Jiangsu and Anhui and let the people  Everyone knows the benefits of unification. He knows that if the war continues for a period of time, the Beiyang government will be unable to withstand it. By then, whether Yuan Shikai is dead or not, abdication is inevitable, but he is not prepared to stop the war after Yuan Shikai abdicates. He will not allow Beiyang to  It still exists, at least the Beiyang government is not allowed to exist.

    Zhang Xiaozhun knew what Deng Sen meant, and said in response to the guarantee: "Don't worry, head of state, all the newspapers of our Jiangsu and Anhui governments will publicize it, and use the Franco-Prussian War in the German Empire as the background to promote it. The unification of Germany is too similar to ours now!"

    Germany, this is a legendary country. Germany¡¯s predecessor was the Kingdom of Prussia. After the Kingdom of Prussia unified the German region, it fought a Franco-Prussian War with France and defeated France, which had previously been the strongest army in Europe. From a new empire,  Became a top power.  This is so similar to the scene in China at this time.

    "That's good! I believe you can handle it! Baili, how is the situation in the army now?" After learning about the internal affairs, Deng Sen began to ask about the army again.

    Hearing what Deng Sen said, Jiang Baili took out a telegram and handed it to Deng Sen, and said: "Ru Umbrella, our two armies have begun to attack, and all strategic plans are being carried out in accordance with the staff combat plan."

    "Oh?" Deng Sen asked, looking at Jiang Baili.

    Jiang Baili picked up the command pole, came to the large map, pointed the baton at Ande County in the south of Jiujiang, and said: "Now our Third Army has marched here. The Beiyang Army's 50,000 people are defending the city, and the troops are waiting for the artillery to arrive.  ."

    "And the other place is Jingdezhen." Jiang Baili's baton moved eastward and stayed on Jingdezhen.

    "The defenders of Jingdezhen only had 10,000 people and were easily defeated by our army. However, the continuous rainfall in eastern Jiangxi in recent days affected the progress of the army's march. Therefore, the advance was not fast and the road was muddy. However, with 120,000 people in Jiangxi,  It is impossible for the defenders to stop us! At the same time, we received news that Yuan Shikai ordered Long Jiguang to serve as the commander-in-chief of the southern front and Tang Jixiao to serve as the commander-in-chief of the southwest army to resist our army. However, the Beiyang Army in the south is now very scattered and cannot be concentrated at all.  Together, as long as our Nanyang army attacks the important coastal towns by sea, then Jiangnan will be surrounded by us, and our people are assisting General Cai Wei in organizing the escort and preparing for the Yunnan attack. By then our army  Then we can divide the Beiyang Army into several pieces and eliminate them one by one."

    "Like Tang Jixiao who is standing on tiptoe on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the roads on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are difficult to travel, so none of our army's artillery and armor can move forward. Look at this!" Jiang Baili said and pointed his baton at Yanhe County in Guizhou and Huaihua in Hunan.  area.

    "These two places are the only places to enter the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but although the terrain of the same two places is better than other places, they areIt is still difficult to do, especially now that it is summer. Because it is in the south, there is a lot of rainfall, so the best time to attack Yunnan and Guizhou is in the autumn.  "!.
