Beiyang reactionaries

But Lin Baoyi disagreed.

Lin Baoyi didn't want the Guardian Fleet to fight among themselves.

"How could he have no money? There is so much trade and business in Guangzhou in a day, how could he have no money."

Wen Shude immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Rongting.

Wen Shude is from Shandong, belongs to the small faction of the Guardian Fleet, and is a representative of the officers of the Northern Navy.However, Wen Shude is a very capable person, and his ability to have both sides is very good, so he is still very good in the Dharma Guardian Fleet.

Seeing these depressed people, Lin Baoyi said: "Lu Rongting has money, but he has no money. He occupies Guangzhou now, and his daily income is quite high, but his daily expenses are not small. After a month, he has been playing for so long. How much will it cost to fight the battle. Moreover, he has suffered heavy losses this time against the Cantonese Army, Zhejiang Army, and Yunnan Army. He will definitely have to recruit new troops. Guangzhou can support so many troops in one place, so where is the money.”

This is not Lin Baoyi's excuse for Lu Rongting.

but reality.

Guangzhou is very rich, even richer than the province of Guangxi combined.But no matter what, it is not easy for Lu Rongting to support [-] to [-] troops just by relying on Guangzhou, and to expand the army.The important thing is that the war was fought for a month, and the money spent was not a little bit.

The navy wants money too?

It's hard.

Now that Lu Rongting is showing kindness, he can give hundreds of thousands of military pay to the navy, even Lu Rongting is very proud.

"Then what do we do?"

Chen Ce was still young and couldn't hold his breath.

If Lu Rongting doesn't give money again, the people under him will all rebel.The conflict between Fujian and Cantonese officers is great, but the current guardian fleet has no food, and survival problems have arisen, so the internal strife must be put aside first.

"Commander, I'm not complaining. My brothers haven't received money for a long time, and they still have to support their families. And more importantly, we also participated in the attack on the Cantonese army some time ago. Now we are extremely short of warships Bullets and shells, this problem cannot be left unsolved.”

Wen Shude was also dissatisfied.

Not to mention no money, even bullets and shells are lacking.At present, in addition to being equipped with cannons, these warships will also be equipped with heavy machine guns.But the reserves of bullets and shells are not rich.

After the Chaoshan battle, many warships lacked shells.If you don't even add this, then what kind of warship is the Guardian Fleet.

"Chou Shuo (Chen Ce), Yang Yongtai's people are looking for you, right?"

Lin Baoyi suddenly asked Chen Ce.

"Yes."

Chen Ce didn't panic at all, and answered very calmly.Then he said without any concealment: "He sent someone to contact me, hoping that I can persuade the Guardian Fleet to stop at Beihai Port and accept Duan Xun's command."

Tang Tingguang, Lin Yongmo, and Wen Shude were all very puzzled.

I don't understand why Lin Baoyi brought up this matter suddenly.In fact, it is not one or two forces that are currently in contact with the generals of the Guardian Fleet. Before that, people from Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, and Feng Guozhang all came to contact them.Because the Guardian Fleet is more than half of the current strength of China's entire navy, whoever can fight for the Guardian Fleet will control China's navy.

Therefore, all the major forces in China are wooing the Dharma Guardian Fleet.

Yang Yongtai is not the fastest.

But Yang Yongtai is the person who is most familiar with the guardian fleet.The few people in the room now have all been in contact with the people sent by Yang Yongtai.

"How did you answer?"

"Of course I refuse."

On this point, Chen Ce is very frank.

When Yang Yongtai was in Guangdong, he swayed from side to side between Sun Yat-sen and Lu Rongting.In the end, he took refuge in Lu Rongting and expelled Sun Yat-sen.Therefore, Chen Ce looked down on Yang Yongtai very much.

Just a political "bitch".

At the beginning, Sun Yat-sen valued Yang Yongtai so much that he planned to appoint Yang Yongtai as the chief financial officer of the Dharma-protecting military government.But Yang Yongtai, a "despicable" villain, turned out to be taking refuge in Lu Rongting.

So Chen Ce rejected Yang Yongtai very simply.

And didn't take it seriously.

After all, it wasn't just one or two who came to win over Chen Ce.Because Chen Ce is the representative of the Cantonese officers in the Dharma Guardian Fleet, if you win over Chen Ce, you can win over a large number of Cantonese officers in the Dharma Guardian Fleet.

"But now he is the only one who can give us military expenses. Only Duan Xun can provide us with the bullets and shells our warships need."

Lin Baoyi sighed on it.

When Lin Baoyi spoke like this, many people present were silent.Although the guardian fleet has been floating at sea for a long time, their attention to the domestic situation is no worse than that of any other party.

Because for the navy, it is necessary to understand the domestic situation.

Only by understanding the changes in the domestic situation and the changes in the powerful factions in the country can they choose an object to attach to.The Zhiwan War was fought very lively, and each had its own gains.

The two armies of Zhi and Feng defeated Duan Qirui, and it seemed that they wanted to control Beijing and become an orthodox central force.In terms of localities, the Guangdong Army has already occupied half of Guangdong, and the Hunan Army has seen some improvement.

But this is not as fast as the expansion of Duan Xun's power.

As a rising warlord in the southwest, Duan Xun has already extended his hand to Qinzhou and Lianzhou, otherwise Duan Xun would not let the guardian fleet go to Beihai Port.Because Duan Xun will soon control this place.

"I'll say a few words."

Although Tang Tingguang is a Cantonese, but because of his seniority and ability, even those Fujian military officers are more convinced of Tang Tingguang.Lin Yongmo, the leader of the Fujianese military officers who are relatively arrogant and domineering in the current Dharma Guardian Fleet, also gave Tang Tingguang face.Tang Tingguang is a figure in the current Dharma Guardian Fleet alongside Lin Baoyi.

Lin Baoyi immediately said: "Brother Lang Ting, if you have anything to say, just open up and say it."

"Actually, going to Duan Xun is not a bad choice."

"Senior Tang (Tang Tingguang), how can we go to the remnants of Duan Qirui?"

Just when Tang Tingguang said it, Chen Ce went crazy.

Tang Tingguang is a relatively heavyweight figure in the navy among the Cantonese officers, and he is also the highest among the Cantonese officers of the Guardian Fleet.It's just that Tang Tingguang didn't get involved in the internal disputes, so the young Chen Ce became the leader of the Cantonese officers.

Chen Cecai is 26 years old.

passionate.

Still an age in pursuit of ideals.In addition, Sun Yat-sen is also a Cantonese, so Chen Ce is a naval officer who is very inclined to Sun Yat-sen.For Duan Qirui, he dislikes the Anhui Department very much.

But when Tang Tingguang, whom he respected, said that it was okay to go to Duan Xun, how could Chen Ce be satisfied, so he stood up immediately.

"you listen to me."

Tang Tingguang didn't get angry because Chen Ce interrupted him like this.

Because Tang Tingguang was so passionate when he was young.Tang Tingguang would not have become a navy if he hadn't been passionate back then.If young people are old and sophisticated, if they have no blood, then what future does this country have, what future does this nation have, and how can the army have vitality.These inexperienced young people should have vitality.
