Beiyang reactionaries

As long as the Hunan Army wins, Duan Xun will be nervous, and he will not be able to control himself if he has time.Therefore, Lu Rongting finally made up his mind and said: "Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi increased their staff without the consent of the French Protecting Military Government, which violated the regulations of the French Protecting Military Government. Therefore, I ordered the troops to encircle and annihilate the troops of the Fujian and Guangdong Army. This battle must be all Annihilate Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi's Fujian and Guangdong troops. Shen Hongying."

"Master."

"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the first line of troops attacking Guangdong."

"Yes."

"Fang Shengtao's [-]th Division of the Guangdong-Yunnan Army under the First Route of the Guangdong Army, Lu Gongwang's Dharma Guardian Army to assist the Fujian-Zhejiang Army, and Liu Zhilu's Guangdong Army's Fourth Army. You bring the Guangdong Army's Third Army to support them. The troops will start immediately. Enter Chaoshan, attack southern Fujian, and take Zhangzhou."

"Yes."

Guangdong, as the base of the Dharma-protecting military government, has a very complicated composition of troops, and there are also many foreign troops.In addition to the most powerful Guangdong and Yunnan Army, there are also some troops that do not belong to Lu Rongting's direct line.Just like the troops of Lu Gongwang of the Zhejiang Army, the full name is the French Guardian Army Aid Fujian and Zhejiang Army.

This is the army that Lu Gongwang, the former governor of Zhejiang Province, formed after he came to Guangdong. It was created to enter Fujian with Chen Jiongming and the others.Because the French Protectorate military government is still in Guangzhou, those French Protectorate troops are currently stationed in Guangdong.It's just that the Guangdong Protectorate Military Government is controlled by Lu Rongting, so these troops also obey Lu Rongting's orders.

"Mazi."

"arrive."

"Appoint you as the commander of the second route of the attacking Guangdong troops."

"Yes."

"It governs the First Army of the Guangdong Army and the Second Army of the Guangdong Army, the Third Division of the Guangdong and Yunnan Army, and Liu Xianshi's troops stationed in Guangdong and Guizhou form the second army to support the first army."

"Yes."

Listening to Lu Rongting's order, Shen Hongying's face instantly became ugly, but soon returned to normal and became very calm.No one noticed the instant change in Shen Hongying's face.Shen Hongying was angry in her heart, and it was not ordinary anger.

Lu Rongting still doesn't regard himself as one of his own.

In Shen Hongying's first army, apart from Liu Zhilu who belonged to Lu Rongting and the former Guangdong Governor Chen Bingkun's favorite general, the other three troops were not troops directly related to Lu Rongting.Lu Gongwang's army is the Zhejiang army, Fang Shengtao's army is the Yunnan army, although his own army is called the Guangxi army, but it is not Lu Rongting's direct line army.Now with the final designation of the Third Army of the Guangdong Army, it is actually a self-contained army.Even Liu Zhilu's troops were the same.

Although Liu Zhilu is a member of Lu Rongting, he is also a general that Lu Rongting likes very much.Because he was favored by Lu Rongting, he was promoted very quickly in the army. In Guangxi, Liu Zhilu was called "Young General".But Liu Zhilu was someone Lu Rongting held in high esteem, but his army, the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army, was not a serious army of Lu Rongting.It was the former Guangdong Army unit that was reorganized after Lu Rongting took control of Guangdong. This unit has nothing to do with the Gui Army.

That is to say, none of the troops on the first route is a direct descendant of Lu Rongting.Let such troops be used as cannon fodder, while your main force is behind.

Needless to say, Ma Ji, as Lu Rongting's adopted son, was also the commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, and he was Lu Rongting's absolute direct descendant.Even Lu Rongting's successor in the future.The same is true for Lin Hu.

Lin Hu is a fierce general.Although the time to defect to Lu Rongting was very short, it was only three years.Moreover, Lin Hu has a deep relationship with the Revolutionary Party.But Lin Hu is currently one of the few good generals in Lu Rongting's Gui army.

Therefore, starting from Lu Rongting, the former Guangdong Governor Chen Bingkun and the current Guangdong Governor Mo Rongxin have always been very important.Similarly, Lin Hu himself is not a simple person, and he trained a powerful army for Lu Rongting.The Second Army of the Guangdong Army is extremely powerful among the current Guangxi troops.

The First Army and Second Army of the Guangdong Army are both Lu Rongting's favorites.

Put them behind yourself.

In such a situation, how could Shen Hongying not be angry.

It's just that Shen Hongying is very smart and won't show this kind of emotion.It was precisely because of this that Shen Hongying was able to reach the current position.It was not once or twice that Lu Rongting and his direct troops bullied Shen Hongying.

"Chen Bingkun."

"arrive."

"Appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the troops attacking Guangdong and command all the troops attacking Guangdong."

"Yes."

Chen Bingkun was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order.Chen Bingkun was originally Lu Rongting's brother for many years, but Lu Rongting withdrew the Guangdong Governor, and he was always dissatisfied.Originally, he covered the sky with one hand in Guangdong, but now the governor of Guangdong is Mo Rongxin.

Although it was because the people on Sun Yat-sen's side were very dissatisfied with Chen Bingkun and strongly demanded to replace Chen Bingkun, Lu Rongting agreed.But no matter how you say it, Chen Bingkun is very embarrassed.In order to appease Chen Bingkun, Lu Rongting appointed Chen Bingkun as the governor of Guangdong.

But the governor of Guangdong, how can the warlord do it happily.

Now that Lu Rongting has appointed Chen Bingkun as the commander-in-chief of the troops attacking Guangdong, Chen Bingkun understands that this is an opportunity.As long as he helped Lu Rongting wipe out Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi's Cantonese army this time, it would be logical for him to return to the military.

"Okay, what's wrong with me now...?"

Lu Rongting was about to say some last mobilization words when he suddenly saw Lu Fuxiang rushing in.Lu Fuxiang is Lu Rongting's direct descendant of the Gui Army, and also Lu Rongting's favorite general.

A person who rose from battalion commander to brigade commander within two years.Even a few months ago, Lu Rongting had handed over the position of commander of the Guijun First Division to Lu Fuxiang.It's just that Lu Fuxiang didn't dare to accept it, because the commander of the First Division of the Gui Army was Lu Rongting's eldest son.How could Lu Fuxiang dare to offend Lu Rongting's son, fearing that Lu Rongting's son would take revenge, he refused several times.Therefore, Lu Rongting specially gave Lu Fuxiang a designation of the Guangxi Independent Brigade, and asked Lu Fuxiang to serve as the brigade commander of the Guangxi Independent Brigade.

This time Lu Fuxiang took his Guangxi Independent Brigade and eight battalions of elite Guangxi troops to protect Lu Rongting into Guangdong.

"The battle report from the front shows that the Fujian and Guangdong troops suddenly invaded Guangdong from Yunxiao and Zhao'an, and the vanguard of the Guangdong army is less than sixty miles away from Chaozhou and Shantou."

"Chen Jiongming's troops have come?"

"Yes. They are divided into three groups. One is the First and Third Cantonese Army led by Chen Jiongming, the other is the Second and Fourth Cantonese Army led by Xu Chongzhi, and the other is the Fujian-Guizhou Aid Army led by Wang Wenhua force."

"We haven't attacked them yet, but they came first."

Lu Rongting sneered.

He didn't take Chen Jiongming seriously.Even if Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi expanded their army, plus Wang Wenhua's Guizhou army, there were only about 6000 people.And there are [-] troops in it, all recruits who have just been recruited for a month or two.

How can I be afraid of these little thieves when I have gathered more than 6 troops this time.So he immediately said: "Give Liu Zhilu an order to defend Chaozhou, and the troops will support them soon. Shen Hongying."

"Master."

"You set off now and rush to the front line to command the troops to destroy Chen Jiongming's troops."

"Yes."

Although Shen Hongying was very dissatisfied in her heart, she did not show the slightest strangeness.After paying a military salute to Lu Rongting, he immediately put on his hat and went out.Lu Rongting glanced at Shen Hongying's back, quickly shifted his gaze, and said to his adopted son Ma Ji: "Shen Tang (Ma Ji), Yin Qing (Lin Hu), you two also go to rectify the troops and prepare for the expedition."

"Yes."

"Commander Lin (Lin Baoyi)."

"Master."

Lin Baoyi sat up straight.

As the commander of the Guardian Fleet, Lin Baoyi was distressed.At present, the guardian fleet has ten warships, two cruisers, three destroyers, four gunboats, and one supply ship.

In China, these warships are still very powerful.It can even be said that more than half of the strength of the Chinese navy is currently in Guangdong.

But he is the Navy.

Floating on the sea all day, without the support of land, it is impossible to persevere.The navy is a typical example of whoever gives me money, I will follow.Before they followed Cheng Biguang to support the Dharma Protection Movement, they defected to Sun Yat-sen at that time.

But after arriving in Guangdong, I discovered that although Guangdong belonged to the lairs of Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin, and Chen Jiongming, the current Guangdong is not their Guangdong, but Lu Rongting's Guangdong.

Lu Rongting controls Guangdong, and Guangdong's finances are in the hands of Lu Rongting.

Therefore, the navy quickly fell to Lu Rongting's side, including Cheng Biguang also fell to Lu Rongting's side.Because Sun Yat-sen had no money, it was impossible to provide funds for the navy, and Lu Rongting could meet the military needs of the navy.Therefore, there are three theories that Cheng Biguang was assassinated afterwards.One is that Duan Qirui was very dissatisfied with Cheng Biguang's going south to join the Dharma Guardian War, so he sent someone to assassinate him.Another theory is that Lu Rongting and the others did not want Sun Yat-sen to have the support of the navy, so they assassinated Cheng Biguang.The last argument is that Sun Yat-sen's general Zhu Zhixin believed that Cheng Biguang was a fool on the wall, and he swayed between Sun Yat-sen and Lu Rongting, and later slowly leaned towards Lu Rongting, so he sent someone to assassinate Cheng Biguang.
