"Is there any movement in Guangzhou recently?" Zhang Anle, who was sitting in the car, suddenly remembered to care about the news in Guangzhou. Yang Du has always been in charge of the intelligence work there.

"After the Liao case, Hu Hanmin voluntarily resigned and went to the Soviet Union to inspect Jiang Zhongzheng. He became a member of the Standing Committee and the Military Commission. He is now active in the Northern Expedition to eliminate the four warlords Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Anle, Wu Peifu, and Sun Chuanfang." Yang Du briefly said the information I got

"Haha, I didn't expect that I, the chief of the army of the Republic of China, and one of the cabinet members would also become a warlord. At that time, Mr. Sun became the president. Now that Mr. Sun passed away, they created a national government and a group of careerists in the cloak of revolution. The purpose is to establish a one-party dictatorship in China. In the final analysis, the fundamental purpose is to implement dictatorship." Zhang Anle heard that the three major warlords in the Northern Expedition in history have now become four, and he is among them, and suddenly laughed.

"They always think that only they are the real revolutionaries. They talk about the Three People's Principles and keep silent about China's prosperity, but after Mr. Sun passed away, which one really thinks about the Three People's Principles is now fighting for power and profit?" Yang Du also looked down on these people, his tone with a hint of contempt

"But then again, it's true that he was actively planning the Northern Expedition, but it's too early now. Now Wu Peifu is mobilizing his troops north to attack Feng Yuxiang and Sun Chuanfang. Although the battle of Sun Chuanfang is not to say that it hurts vitality, it is also a loss of soldiers and generals, and nothing is gained. The advantage is that Guangzhou is now the most powerful in the southern provinces. Once our war in the north is in a state of anxiety, at that time, more than 10 people from 20 armies of the National Revolutionary Army will go north to Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, which will be enough for Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu to drink. Hu's" Zhang Anle didn't delve into the issue of revolution or not, but changed the subject and talked about the Northern Expedition.

"Can these 20 troops take down the southern provinces?" Yang Du asked with a hint of doubt

"20 troops is not a lot. Didn't I take tens of thousands of troops to the south to take down several provinces in the northwest? Most of the military officers graduated from Whampoa and accepted the propaganda and education of the Kuomintang. It should not be underestimated. Sometimes the power of thought is far greater than that of swords and guns.” Zhang Anle knew that the Northern Expedition army in history was less than 20, and it swept across most of China.

"If he really makes the Northern Expedition successful, wouldn't it be a tripartite confrontation?"

"What we have to do now is to seize the opportunity. The next target is the southwestern provinces, Sichuan, Xikang, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Even if the National Revolutionary Army has Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan, it is not to be feared. At that time, I was surrounded on both sides of the road, and I could land in Guangdong and Fujian at any time by sea. How could the National Revolutionary Army have so many troops to deal with it?" Zhang Anle said confidently

"The commander's plan is very good, but what if the commander-in-chief cooperates with the south?" Yang Du said with some concern

"The commander-in-chief's Fengjun seems to be strong, but in fact it is already going downhill. Guo Songling's rebellion against Feng has reflected many problems. If the Japanese hadn't joined the war, the commander-in-chief would have gone out to seek refuge. Li Jinglin finished the battle, you Do you think he still has the face to stay in the Fengjun? Yang Yuting is self-willed, he usually prides himself on being a little Zhuge, and he can run faster than anyone else in real battles. No one can help him. Feng Jun is now at his peak. With the strength of my Northwest Army, 5 divisions are enough to wipe out the Northeast Marshal. Now he also needs my support. How can he find it hard for him?" Zhang Anle said to Feng The army doesn't pay much attention to it now.

After 918 in the later generations, everyone blamed the principal for not resisting the order. In fact, at that time, although Zhang Xueliang appeared to be strong and strong, the senior generals who could command the army were exhausted. The reason why he gave up the territory he had occupied for decades was because he was afraid that his troops would be wiped out. At that time, he would really have nothing. If he kept his troops, he would at least have a chance to make a comeback.

"This anti-Bong is really a big blow to the Marshal. I don't know how he will adjust after the war."

"When I was in Jinan, I talked with Jiang Dengxuan. He has plans to go it alone. At least he must be semi-independent like his father. He is the one we should fight for. With Anhui in hand, the chances of winning against the National Revolutionary Army are great. We If we are sure that they will not cross the Yangtze River for half a step and wait for our round of reorganization, the trend of unification will be unstoppable.”

"China has been in a melee for more than ten years, and it is time to rest"

"Yeah, the world war was the best chance for China's rise, but unfortunately, everyone is busy fighting among themselves, taking advantage of this good opportunity. World peace will not last long, and there will be a large-scale war soon. The war is about to start." Zhang Anle also sighed with emotion.

"Where did the commander say that? Now all countries are in a peaceful situation." Yang Du obviously couldn't see through the current world situation

"After the World War, European countries were too harsh on Germany. Germany surrendered without losing an inch of territory, in order to strive for a relatively good ending. However, at the spoils conference in Paris, the British and the French In order to weaken Germany, the people not only demanded huge indemnities, but also divided Germany into pieces. How could the Germans let it go? It was transferred to Japan. Japan wants to come to China. Looking around, China is his best target of aggression. Once Germany and Japan start a war, I think the whole world will be involved.” Zhang Anle briefly talked about the political reasons for the outbreak of World War II , but no economic reasons were mentioned

"I didn't expect the commander to have such a deep understanding of the international situation. In this way, a world war is inevitable." Yang Du gave Zhang Anle a little flattery

"That's right, what we have to do is to win the greatest interests for our country and nation in this war, and this requires us to have a unified and strong country, otherwise we will not only get no benefits, but It will become the target of other people’s aggression. Taking a step back, even if there is no worldwide war, there must be a war before China and Japan. Now Japan still occupies Taiwan, Lushun, and Ryukyu. We want to take back these territories. The Soviet Union also occupied us. The land of millions of square kilometers was also returned by Lenin back then. You can’t expect them to return it obediently, you can only see the outcome on the battlefield.” Zhang Anle nodded, and then talked about the inevitability of war

"The commander's words touched me deeply. I used to think that unifying the whole country is the highest goal. Now it seems that this is just the beginning." Yang Du smiled bitterly, feeling that his knowledge was too shallow, but he didn't know Zhang Anle is a person from later generations, that's why he is so knowledgeable

"National reunification is easy to say, but difficult to do, but it is impossible to achieve it without a huge contribution to the war with Japan, let alone the Soviet Union. But I am confident that this goal can be achieved, and we will leave it to future generations A complete China, at least it can’t be less than what the predecessors left us.” Zhang Anle really wanted to tell Yang Du that the unification has not been completed for decades

"The commander has such ambitions, Xizi must do everything possible to assist the commander," Yang Du said seriously

"Thank you sir, I am more confident with your help," Zhang Anle said emotionally

During the conversation with Zhang Anle, Yang Du almost got to know Zhang Anle all over again. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would be sincere to this person and try his best to help him (to be continued)

No.40 Eight Palms attack Sichuan

Zhang Anle suddenly got a notification from the system that you have a follower (non-system) whose loyalty has reached 95%, and the system rewards the skills to combine vertical and horizontal.

Friends who are familiar with the history of He Zong Lian Heng know that it is about the two diplomats Su Qin and Zhang Yi during the Warring States Period.In the late Warring States period, Qin was in the west, and other countries, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Chu formed a row, so these countries united against Qin called Hezong, while Qin formed an alliance with other countries to deal with other countries. It's called Lianheng.

This vertical and horizontal skill can increase the possibility of the two forces forming an alliance by 50%. experience.Not to mention Archie Lane, a born diplomat.

He didn't think much about giving this skill to Yang Du. Lin Changmin is now the prime minister of the Northwest District, and Achileen is the foreign minister and he is a foreigner. In terms of long-term interests, it is best to give Achileen.But Achileen has the appearance of a foreigner after all, so it doesn't matter if he is used now.Once Zhang Anle truly unified China, it would be inappropriate to use it so blatantly against Achline.

What's more, Zhang Anle has long been determined to win Sichuan, but there are many warlords in Sichuan, and Liu Xiang has dominated in the past two years.He has never had a chance to enter it. He has always wanted to find someone to support a force in Sichuan, but there has been no suitable candidate. With this skill this time, it is perfect for Yang Du to entrust this task.

Zhang Anle returned to Xi'an in the afternoon, and when he arrived at the government office, he received a telegram from Timu Xinge, saying that Anyi had already taken it, and most of the Hedong Road was in his hands.

Zhang Anle was very happy when he received the news, but Yan Xishan in Taiyuan was full of worries.

Although there were more than a dozen people sitting there at the headquarters of the Jin Army in Taiyuan, no one spoke, only the sound of Didi Didi sending a report.The entire headquarters is filled with a strange atmosphere, it is really quiet and scary.The reason is that Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, just lost his temper. He lost Datong in the morning and Anyi in the afternoon, and lost two of the capitals of the three provinces.

Now the king of Shanxi was sitting in his seat, expressionless and not knowing what he was thinking.His staff and officers didn't dare to speak loudly, everyone knew that Commander Yan was in a bad mood right now, and they didn't want to suffer from this bad luck.

"How long can we hold on?" Yan Xishan who hadn't spoken for a long time asked suddenly.

The aides and staff were stunned for a moment, and then the witty people replied: "Although we have lost some territory, the casualties of the troops are not large. It is not yet known who will die."

"Bullshit, don't you know what's going on with the troops? I thought that for so many years, I didn't dare to say that being a blockbuster would at least impress people all over the world. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that our troops were unbearable in the face of the Northwest Army. One hit." Yan Xishan had a wry smile on his face, he originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, who ever wanted to steal chickens without losing money.Although his troops suffered few casualties, the gap between his troops and the Northwest Army was so great that even Yan Xishan became distrustful of his troops.

Hearing what Yan Xishan said, everyone had nothing to say.

"Why are they all dumb, and they can't even speak. How about this, don't be idle, and think about what I should do in the future for me." Seeing that no one spoke, Yan Xishan felt even more disappointed.

The progress of the Northwest Army was very smooth, and the Jin army retreated steadily. Yan Xishan, who was somewhat unable to support himself, sent several telegrams to Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin made it very clear that I can't control Zhang Anle now, you can talk to him directly if you have anything to do.

Zhang Zuolin is not a fool, Zhang Anle stopped military operations in Hubei to save face, otherwise Hubei would have been taken by this time.Zhang Zuolin, an old fox, knows how to measure things. Enough is enough for this kind of thing. If you always rely on the old to sell the old, others will not take you seriously.

In desperation, Yan Xishan could only send a report to Zhang Anle, willing to accept the leadership of the Northwest Army, and he himself was willing to step down.This is an excuse. If you promise me that the Jin army will accept the leadership of the Northwest Army, you will not let him, the highest officer of the Jin army, step down.Zhang Anle also knew this truth, so he ignored Yan Xishan's telegram, and just asked the troops on the front line to fight harder.

The battle in Shanxi is progressing smoothly, and Yang Du's trip to Sichuan is also going smoothly.Yang Du took the important task entrusted to him by Zhang Anle and went to Sichuan under the protection of several members of the commander's guard. On the way to Sichuan, he had already selected the target to lobby.The person he fell in love with was none other than Yuan Zuming, the governor of Guizhou.

Yuan Zuming had quite a strategy in governing the army. He not only feared the strict laws, but also felt them with righteousness.Yuan Zuming always went to the front line to boost morale during the battle.He also formulated strict military regulations and resolutely implemented them.He set up a picket team in the Qian army. Whenever the troops took actions, the picket team would check the discipline enforcement and report it when they camped.

In the military, he has won many battles and is one of the most famous figures in the Qian army after Liu Xianshi. The other is Wang Wenhua, Liu Xianshi's nephew.In order to compete for the position of the governor of Guizhou, the two sent killers to each other. As a result, Yuan Zuming was more lucky and killed Wang Wenhua and became the governor of Guizhou.

But Tang Jiyao from Yunnan was quite jealous of Yuan Zuming being the governor of Guizhou Province. He thought that this kid had a lot of ambition, and if he was really allowed to integrate the army of Guizhou, he would be a huge threat to himself.So Tang Jiyu was sent to escort Liu Xianshi, who had already left the field, back to Guizhou to preside over government affairs. Yuan Zuming knew that he was no match for Tang Jiyao, so he led his troops back to Xiushan, Sichuan.

At this time, the Sichuan army was in conflict, and Xiong Kewu's department was at war with Liu Xiang and Yang Sen's departments. It was still when the direct line was in power.Wu Peifu heard that Yuan Zuming was in Xiushan, Sichuan, so he appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy who aided Sichuan to control Liu Xiang and Yang Sen.

After defeating Xiong Kewu, the Beiyang government appointed Yuan Zuming as the supervisor of Sichuan-Guizhou frontier defense, and also the commander of the No. 30 Fourth Division.

This year Yang Sen wanted to dominate Sichuan, Yuan Zuming and Liu Xiang joined forces to expel Yang Sen.Yang Sen was defeated and fled to Hubei, Liu Xiang wanted to monopolize Sichuan, and sent Yuan Zuming 40 oceans to send him back to Guizhou. At this time, Yuan Zuming, who already occupied more than half of Chongqing, would not care about this mere 40 oceans.What he wants is the 2 guns and a large amount of bullets that Liu Xiang promised him before. At this time, the arsenal has been closed, and Liu Xiang can't get these things out.

Yuan Zuming believed that Liu Xiang was treacherous, but he had to spend money to import a batch of ordnance from Hankou without reorganizing his troops.When this batch of ordnance was transported to Kui's mansion, it was also detained by Liu Xiang's Pan Wenhua division Guo Xunqi's brigade!This made Yuan Zuming furious, Liu Xiang was not benevolent and he was not righteous.

Wang Zhaokui, Yang Sen's old department, had already been incorporated into Liu Xiang's Wangling base.Yuan Zuming actively instigated, and Wang Zhaokui led his troops to flee from Changshou to Qijiang and join the Qian army.

In this way, the conflict between the two sides became deeper and deeper, and they were actively looking for allies, and at this time Yang Du approached him.

Chapter 49 initial interview

Yuan Zuming was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with this situation, and he was very puzzled when he heard that Yang Du came to him

"Isn't this Yang Du working in the Northwest Army now? What is he doing in Chongqing?" Before Yuan Zuming could speak, one of his staff officers spoke out first.

"Although I know it, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Maybe we rely on him to break this situation. Now that he is here, we have to act like the master. Come, come with me to welcome the distinguished guests "Yuan Zuming thought of many possibilities, and the biggest possibility is that he came to form an alliance with him. He was very happy at the moment, and went out to meet Yang Du in person.

"Hahahaha, let me tell you, why did the left eyelid twitch so early in the morning? It turned out that there was a distinguished guest, Mr. Yang, who came to visit. Dingqing never greeted him. It is really a sin." Yuan Zuming's enthusiasm seems to have seen him. Like old friends for many years, in fact, he and Yang Du have only met a few times. Yuan Zuming also went to Beijing to attend the aftermath meeting at the end of last year. He knows that Yang Du is now in the Northwest District.
