Beiyang reactionaries

Many counties in the Chaoshan area immediately changed their gates to welcome the arrival of Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army.More than half of the entire Chaoshan area has surrendered to the Guangdong Army.Moreover, many militia groups in the Chaoshan area have also come to attach themselves to Chen Jiongming.Fortunately, Lin Hu's Guangdong Army Second Army rushed to the battlefield at this time and withstood Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army.

Lin Hu is a rare general under Lu Rongting's banner.

The troops are strong.

In Jieyang, Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army fought back and forth several times. At one point, Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army did not dare to show their faces.However, Chen Jiongming is not easy to provoke. He contacted the powerful factions in Guangdong everywhere and asked them to fight back.

Within half a month, the Guangdong Army of Lu Rongting and Chen Jiongming invested more than 5 troops in the Chaoshan area.If it was in the past, this was a battle of considerable scale.

It would have been nice.

Lin Hu blocked Chen Jiongming's main force by himself.

Under Lu Rongting's repeated orders, Shen Hongying could only bring his Third Army of the Guangdong Army to the front again, and Liu Zhilu brought the remnants of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army back to Jieyang.

The development of the situation is very beneficial to Lu Rongting.

Even without the support of Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and the Guangdong Yunnan Army, Lu Rongting's troops still surpassed Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army in number and strength.When Ma Ji's Guangdong Army First Army arrived in Champa, Lu Rongting was absolutely sure of destroying the Guangdong Army.

Moreover, the guardian fleet has already arrived in Shantou and began to bombard the Cantonese troops.

Lu Rongting had the upper hand, making Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and the Guangdong Yunnan Army somewhat anxious.This time they disobeyed Lu Rongting's order, Lu Rongting will definitely deal with them in the future.

rebel?

They didn't think about it.They just didn't want to fight for Lu Rongting, and didn't want to lose their strength by fighting the Cantonese army.Now the Cantonese army is at a disadvantage, which makes them very headache.

But Lu Rongting is finally at ease now.

The straight and Anhui factions are really about to fight.Duan Qirui actually learned from Yuan Shikai's Second Revolution that year, and dismissed the post of military governor in several places directly under his control.These local warlords of the direct line have been operating in the local area for many years, and they are very powerful in the local area.If you want money, if you want money, if you want land, if you want land, if you want an army, you can have an army. Wherever the Beijing government says to be removed, it can be removed.

These people will definitely not accept the order of the Beijing government to remove them, and will definitely resist.

If you can't run, you must fight.

OK, great.

As long as the straight and Anhui factions fight, their side will be safe.As a general of Duan Qirui's direct line, Duan Xun will definitely participate in the Zhiwan War.That way you don't have the energy to focus on yourself.

"Send a telegram to Ma Ji, asking his troops to rush to the front line to encircle and suppress the Cantonese army. Send a telegram to Chen Bingkun, asking him to rush to the front line to take full charge of the front-line war. Then send a telegram to Lu Gongwang, appointing him as the commander of the Chaozhou Army. The Jiazhen envoy (Chaozhou and Jiazhou) asked him to send troops to attack the right wing of the Cantonese army."

Although Lu Gongwang ignored Lu Rongting's orders several times, Lu Rongting still wanted to win over Lu Gongwang's troops.

After all, Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army also has 5000 people.

As long as the Zhejiang army goes south from Meizhou and flanks the right wing of the Guangdong army, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Guangdong army.After all, the main force of the Cantonese army is currently fighting against the troops of Lin Hu, Shen Hongying, and Liu Zhilu.

"Yes."

Lu Fuxiang nodded.

"Master, master."

Just as Lu Rongting was giving orders to the front line, Mo Rongxin, the governor of Guangdong, hurried in.Mo Rongxin is very old now, but he is still in a hurry.

"It's not good, it's not good. Wei Bangping and Li Fulin declared independence in Henan (now Haizhu District) and asked our Gui army to withdraw from Guangdong."

223 War of Guangdong and Guangxi 6

"Marshal, Marshal, Wei Bangping and Li Fulin declared independence in Henan (Haizhu District, Guangzhou) and asked our Gui army to withdraw from Guangdong."

When Lu Rongting heard Mo Rongxin's words, he didn't fly into a rage, but frowned.

It's not that Lu Rongting is not angry.

But after seeing the performance of Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and the Guangdong and Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong, Lu Rongting has completely distrusted these troops that are outside his direct line, thinking that these people are fools and white-eyed wolves.So he is mentally prepared for anything that happens.

That's why Lu Rongting was so calm.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Mo Rongxin was very nervous.

Because both Wei Bangping and Li Fulin are powerful factions in Guangdong, and they are powerful factions with an army, strength, and influence in their hands.Li Fulin himself is from Panyu, Guangzhou, and was the boss of the "underworld" in the Panyu area in his early years.

At the most rampant time, they even crossed the Pearl River to commit crimes in the city of Guangzhou, and even robbed a lot of guns and ammunition.

Even the governor of Guangdong at that time knew about this character and ordered him to be wanted so that he could not gain a foothold in the Henan area (Haizhu District).So he left Guangzhou and went to Nanyang.In the Nanyang area, the revolutionary party activities were very frequent at that time, so Li Fulin joined the Tongmenghui there, and returned to Guangzhou several times to launch anti-Qing riots.

During the Revolution of 3000, Li Fulin returned to Henan (Haizhu District) to recruit troops. He brought a [-]-man "Fu" battalion to Guangzhou to maintain order in Guangzhou, and served as the battalion commander of the Guangdong Dudufu Guard Battalion.

This person very vividly expressed how the small warlords of this era should survive, and also showed the helplessness of the small warlords of this era.

During the second revolution, Guangdong also responded to Sun Yat-sen and declared independence.However, Li Fulin was afraid of the Beiyang Army, so he stood still and did not make any statement.When the second revolution failed and Long Jiguang led troops into Guangdong, he joined Long Jiguang and became Long Jiguang's powerful arm when he ruled Guangdong. His life in Guangdong became more and more prosperous.So much so that the revolutionaries denounced Li Fulin as a traitor.

When the War to Protect the Nation broke out, Lu Rongting's Guangxi Army and Li Liejun's Yunnan Army troops entered Guangdong, and he joined Lu Rongting again, and joined the Gui Army and the Yunnan Army to fight Long Jiguang.At that time, Lu Rongting needed the support of the powerful faction in Guangdong very much, so he appointed Li Fulin as the guardian envoy of Guanghui.

Later, Sun Yat-sen called on Dharma protectors and came to Guangzhou, and Li Fulin took refuge in Sun Yat-sen again. In 1917, Sun Yat-sen took office as Grand Marshal of the Army and Navy of the Republic of China Military Government in Henan, Guangzhou.

After Sun Yat-sen came to Guangzhou, he chose the address of Guangdong Shimin Soil Factory on the south bank of the Pearl River as the office location of the Generalissimo's Mansion.This place was chosen as the office of the Generalissimo's Mansion mainly because of Li Fulin's armed guards, which shows Sun Yat-sen's trust in him.

At present, Li Fulin's "Fuzi" battalion has about [-] troops.

And Wei Bangping is also such a powerful faction.

Wei Bangping graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School in his early years. After the founding of the Republic of China, he successively served as the Army Director and Chief of Staff of the Guangdong Metropolitan Government, the Commander of the Third Brigade of the Second Division of the Army, and the Director of the Guangdong Water Police Department.During the National Defense War, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army, and later served as the director of the Guangdong Provincial Police Department and the director of the Provincial Police Department. In 1918, he concurrently served as the supervisor of Guangzhou City.

This person can be described as a high position in Guangzhou.

After the Gui army ruled Guangdong, they also relied heavily on Wei Bangping.Because Wei Bangping has been in Guangzhou for many years, many of the heads of the Guangzhou Municipal Government are Wei Bangping's old department, or are friends of Wei Bangping.

The sudden declaration of independence by these two people was not a small blow to the Guangxi faction.

Because maybe there will be riots in Guangzhou.

"What do you think?"

Mo Rongxin was extremely anxious, but Lu Rongting sat there peacefully.

Lu Rongting was anxious, but he didn't want to show that he was anxious.Because it looked like Mo Rongxin was already in chaos, if he was also in chaos, how would he deal with the matter.

So calmly asked Mo Rongxin what to do.

"Marshal, besides the guards of the Governor's Mansion, our current troops in Guangzhou only have two troops from the Guangxi Army Independent Brigade. The total number is more than 6000. Even if we equip some other armed forces currently in Guangzhou, the situation It’s not optimistic either. I wonder if we should let Commander Ma (Ma Zi) bring the First Army back for reinforcements.”

It was impossible for Mo Rongxin not to be nervous.

Although Wei Bangping and Li Fulin's troops seemed to have only about [-] people, with the influence of the two of them in Guangzhou, they could summon tens of thousands of troops every minute.
