C59 Guangzhou martial law

Earlier, Jiang Zhongzheng and Liao Zhongkai had only wanted to use force to stop the rebellion, but he and Wang Jing Wei had already wanted to rebel, and now, they had no choice but to answer for the two of them to take responsibility for the crisis. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hu Hanmin seemed to be able to sense the unspeakable meaning in their eyes. He retracted his train of thought, because if he held the meeting, he would be in a mess, which would make people laugh.

He cleared his throat, and said with a heavy voice: "Now it is true, Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan do not know how to repent, and have no regrets, and have no choice but to contact Yunnan Tang Jiyao, Beiyang's warlord Duan Qirui, Chen Mingming's remaining villains, and those who plan to dismember our land in Guangdong Province, overturn Revolutionary Government, and we can discuss this."

Liao Zhongkai watched coldly from the side. He was extremely dissatisfied with Hu Hanmin's performance, not to mention the fact that he had rejected the three principles of the Prime Minister, it was obvious from the matter of Yang Liu's rebellion that Hu Hanmin, as the marshal, had no foresight at all.

Song Ziwen's face was expressionless, but anyone who looked closely would see that the corners of his eyes were twitching. In fact, this young Finance Minister was already burning with anger. He only had one thought in his mind, not enough to scheme against him.

Wang Jiexi raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "Guangzhou is empty, it's not realistic to talk about war. We still have to fight for Yang Liu, so at least they won't make a move on the Great Marshal's Mansion."

In fact, this suggestion came from his wife, Chen Yu Jun. Just like Hu Hanmin, although they were born in the same department as him, but if they were to face a decision, it would be extremely bad. On the contrary, it would be the female hero Chen Yu Jun who could see through the situation with a glance.

Liao Zhongkai secretly nodded his head, Wang Jing Wei's suggestion was not bad. In Guangzhou, where the Marshal's Mansion was in danger and was surrounded by soldiers, there were no more soldiers to be used.

Liao Zhongkai said: "Zhao Ming is right, it is not wise for us to make a decision with Yang Liu, but we should try our best to win him over, isn't he the self-proclaimed commander in chief of the Yunnan Army? "The marshal's residence can definitely appoint him as the true commander. Everything can be discussed once the troops return."

Hu Hanmin heaved a sigh of relief, he was not a foolish person, after recovering from the shock he received, his mind was clear as he said: "Zhong Kai, you are the representative of the Party and Army, tell me about the current situation of the enemy and myself."

Liao Zhongkai nodded, and said while standing up: "In terms of military strength, yesterday, we had the absolute advantage. In Guangzhou, the army of the Yunnan alliance, made up of Yang and Liu, has a total strength of about 25 thousand troops. And the troops loyal to the Marshal's Mansion include Tan Yanzhi, Cheng Qian, Zhu Peide, Li Jizhen, Li Fulin and other generals. Adding the troops, there are more than 50 thousand people in total. "

Everyone was relieved as they heard the comparison of military strength. The difference in military strength at this time was the most encouraging. In their eyes, what was there to fear when it came to a military strength that was twice the enemy's?

Hu Hanmin observed the reaction of the people below, and when he saw the elation on everyone's faces, he knew that the people inside were not in chaos.

Liao Zhongkai saw everyone's reactions clearly. He organized his speech and continued, "Moreover, the situation around Guangdong is also favourable to our army. On the Dongjiang River's side, the Hong Zhao-Lin retreated to the west of the Plum River and the two of them were completely defeated by the army. In the short term, they did not have the strength to fight back;

When it came to Fan Shisheng, this general of the Yunnan Army had a feud with Tang Jiyao over killing his father. Originally, Fan Shisheng had had second thoughts but when he heard that Yang Liu supported Tang Jiyao, he had completely turned hostile.

After Liao Zhongkai finished his analysis of the situation, the originally restless crowd heaved a sigh of relief, and all of them shouted in their hearts: So the situation in the revolution was actually quite good, Yang Liu and his man are just a bunch of villains. What was there to be afraid of? They could only wait for the arrival of the army and eliminate the rebel army.

They wouldn't have known that Liao Zhongkai had something he had not said, although Yang Liu's men were all smoker gamblers, people often ridiculed the two as having more soldiers than soldiers, more rifles than bullets, and more smokestacks. Everyone in Guangdong knew about the famous double spearmen.

This was just an outsider's perspective, but in truth, Yang Liu and Zhou Li's troops were much more combative than Tan Yanzhao's troops. If the two spearmen fought to the death, that would not be a joke.

This time, the meeting lasted until 5 PM. After everyone had left, the real meeting finally started.

This time, no one said a word, and they all turned to look at Song Qingling. Song Qingling surprisingly opened his mouth and said to Hu Hanmin: "The Marshal's Mansion is unable to defend, please contact the navy on behalf of the Marshal. We will retreat to Southern bank of the Pearl River in the middle of the night.

Hu Hanmin nodded his head. The Marshal's Mansion's goal was too big, if they were to stay here, Yang Ximin only needed to send a battalion, and that would allow them to eliminate all the important members in the party in one fell swoop.

Liao Zhongkai said to Hu Hanmin, "Substitute Marshal, I need to return to Dongjiang River quickly tonight, and urge the troops to return to their teachers."

"Yes, this matter should not be delayed." Hu Hanmin looked at him and said sincerely: "Zhong Kai, please tell Jie Shi that the success or failure of the revolution depends on him. I will contact the warship for you later."

"Zhao Ming, inform the various Party departments later that from tomorrow onwards, the government agencies will be on leave for an indefinite period of time. The leaders of the various Party departments, please go to the Schmint plant on the south bank of the Zhu River." Hu Hanmin said to Wang Jing Wei.

Everyone divided their duties in silence. The members of the Grand Marshal's Mansion retreated overnight, and with the help of the Huangpu students, two battleships were dispatched to the navy to tour the river.

That night, many people in Guangzhou did not sleep at all.

As the Chief of Staff of the Yunnan Army, Zhou Zizai had another identity, he was also the principal of the Department. She was considered one of the few people in the Yunnan Army who knew about this, otherwise Sun Zhongshan would not appoint him as the principal of the school. He was very clear that Yang Liu's rebellion was unpopular, and he wanted to persuade him, but was unable to do anything about it.

At dawn, Zhou made up his mind. He picked up his mobile phone and called the army: "Carry out Commander Yang's order, martial law is imposed on Guangzhou."

On the second day, the inside of Guangzhou was still the same as always. The citizens came to the streets early in the morning to celebrate the victory of the Revolutionary Army's eastern expedition together with the workers and students.

The street was filled with signs and marchers, all of whom were ready to go. People with no newspapers crowded around the newsboys, listening to them shout, "Read the paper! Read the newspapers! "Please watch the revolution take over Chao Shan, please watch Lin Hu's trump card master being annihilated."

Every time the young voice of a newspaper boy shouted out a victory report, the citizens along the streets cheered in unison. The student procession that was already prepared long ago set off on time from the Eastern Xiguan under the slogan of "Long live the conquest of the east".

The march in Guangzhou had been going on for more than a month. Ever since the War of the Freshwater School Army, news of victory had spread and it had greatly lifted the spirits of the people, workers and students of Guangzhou. They had organized many large marches to celebrate the victory of the soldiers at the front lines.

Beside the parade, there was a group of female students from Guangdong Normal University wearing a plain white tunic top and blue skirt. They listened attentively to the contents of the newspaper read by a round-faced female student with glasses. This was a "Bulletin", which depicted every battle that had taken place in the Huang Po Student Army since the Eastern Expedition.

A female student with short hair pulled a petite girl with large eyes and a oval face as she excitedly shouted, "Yan Wei, do you still remember that guy from last year?"

The female student called Yan Wei was listening attentively to the newspaper. Hearing this, she tilted her head and blinked her large eyes in thought. She then shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't remember that guy from Huangpu."

The short-haired girl said in disappointment, "How could I forget?"

"In the battle of Xing Ning, Battalion Commander Li Boyang solved the problem of the Revolutionary Army."

Yan Wei smiled and turned back to continue reading the newspaper. Suddenly reading a name said by a girl made her think of 21 P.M., that male student from Whampoa who protected her with crowds of people. His name was Li Boyang.

"He's already the Battalion Commander!"

Li Yanwei thought about how that person only had a few faces left, but still remembered that that person was already the famous Battalion Commander. She was inexplicably happy and her eyes curved into a smile, making him look like a playful and adorable person.

Just as the procession was about to leave the east gate and march towards the city, suddenly, pairs of Yunnan Army and Gui Jun's soldiers appeared on the street. They arrogantly stopped the procession and pointed their black muzzles at the unarmed crowd, shouting loudly, "Under the orders of Commander Yang of the Yunnan Army, a martial law shall be imposed on Guangzhou from now on."

Just as He Yingqin had expected, after hearing Zou Lu's plan to bring over the Grand Marshal's Mansion to negotiate, Yang Ximin knew that the Grand Marshal's Mansion under Hu Hanmin's leadership was nothing to worry about. He and Liu Zhenhuan were the first to take action, using the banner of counterplanning to prevent the Guangzhou regime from falling into the hands of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China.

How could he not understand the principle of speed? As soon as he made a move, he ordered the troops of the Guangzhou to occupy the government offices such as the Governor's Public Office and the Finance Department, and also appointed Zhou Zicheng as the commander of the Guangzhou's defensive garrison in the name of Deputy General Tang Jiyao.

Caught off guard, the Grand Marshal's Mansion was forced to evacuate to the sensitive soil factory on the southern bank of the Zhu River. Under the deterrence of the naval gunboats, they crossed the river to confront the rebel army on the other side of the long embankment.

After the rebel army took over the Governor's Public Office, the Cantonese Army's headquarters, the Finance Department, the Public Security Bureau and all the other important organs in the city and posted the notice that they were in charge of "Public Security" in the city, Yang Ximin and Hu Shun sent out a message, "Communism, regardless of the intelligence, morality, or livelihood of our people, is not enough to speak of this."

"Today, Jiang Zhongzheng, Liao Zhongkai, Tan Pingshan and the others are using the Russian people to collude with each other and promote their people.

"Xi Min and his men will never allow another generation of people to spread poison in our society. Therefore, our army will not be able to take revenge on this bloody battlefield."

Yang and Liu also distributed leaflets against the Communist Party, the Soviet Union and the Guangzhou government in the name of "all the members of the national party of the Yunnan Army".

It was only now that the completely disappointed Hu Hanmin, in the name of the acting marshal, finally gave the order to remove Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan from the post, and Zhu Peide would be the commander in chief of the Yunnan Army. Order the entire army to fight the rebellion at top speed. But at this time, the situation in Guangzhou was completely under the control of the rebel army, which was loyal to the government.
