Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

Shen Hao said:"Which of you are keeping an eye on the two provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi, which are adjacent to the east of Guangdong?"

Li Yunlong said:"Li Houji from Fujian and Li Chun from Jiangxi asked me to come. They have the same luggage as me. Maybe we have been a family for five hundred years, and I am still the same." Their ancestors"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Shen Hao said:"Okay, you lead 50,000 people to keep an eye on the two provinces, and Wang Tianfeng talks about the situation in the two provinces."

""It's a general."

Wang Tianfeng, as the intelligence director, immediately began to report:"Li Houji served as the captain of the guard of the Governor-General's Office directly under the Qing government and the seventh association commander of the fourth town.

In 1913, he was appointed as the commander of Wusong Fortress under Yuan Shikai's government. In November 1913, Yuan Shikai sent Navy Chief Liu Guanxiong to lead Li Houji's troops to Fuzhou and disbanded the Hunan Army in the name of reorganization.

At the end of December, Li Houji was appointed as the garrison envoy of Fujian.

In 1914, Li Houji was appointed as the military envoy of Fujian and supervised the military affairs of Fujian. From then on, Li Houji monopolized the military power of Fujian, with powers similar to those of a general (general governor).

However, Li Houji did not get along with Fujian's Inspector Hu Ruilin (Chief of Civil Affairs), and he seemed to want to kick Hu Ruilin away and take over the power himself.

Moreover, Li Houji donated money to fund the"Safeguarding Committee" and actively supported Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor.

He has one division, plus the province's security corps, totaling about 20,000 people."

"Jiangxi's general (commander) Li Chun 07 was just transferred to Jiangxi and does not have his own team. Recently, he has built three new mixed brigades and three provincial defense regiments. Including the previous division, there are only 20,000 people.

However, the previous division was not his direct lineage, and many generals were suppressed.

He was also one of the most active supporters of the imperial system. He also donated money to fund the"Safeguarding Committee" and was deeply trusted by Yuan Datou."

Li Yunlong has an army of more than 50,000 to 60,000 people. In Shen Hao's opinion, it should not be difficult to clean up Fujian and Jiangxi. It's so easy.

Shen Hao said,"If Li Yunlong can't hold on," before Shen Hao could finish, Li Yunlong saluted and promised,"If you can't hold on, I'll tear off my head and make it a night pot for you."

Kong Jie said with a smile,"You're the only one." The head is also used as a chamber pot and a kicking ball."

"Hahaha."

Shen Hao said:"Okay, Li Yunlong, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Jiangxi and Fujian."

"Who will go to Hunan’s Tang Xiangming or Guizhou’s Long Jiguang?"Shen Hao said;

Kong Jie took the initiative to invite Ying and said:"General, I'll come."

Shen Hao said:"OK"

Wang Tianfeng said again:"Tang Xiangming from Hunan is known as Tang Butcher. He was a member of the Tongmenghui before and later joined the Kuomintang. Tang Xiangming also joined the party;

1913 July In August, the"Second Revolution" broke out. Tang Xiangming followed Yuan Shikai's order and led the"Flying Eagle" to Jiujiang to suppress it. He collaborated with Duan Zhigui, the Jiangxi ambassador at the time, and division commander Li Chun to capture Hukou; he also led the Second Fleet to fight in Jiangxi and Anhui. , attacked the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to defeat Yuan's army, and then returned to Yuezhou.

Yuan Shikai used soup to suppress Yuan's army for his meritorious service, and was awarded the title of Lieutenant General of the Navy.

In October 1913, Tang Xiangming was appointed as the governor of Hunan and the envoy for investigation and handling, and temporarily served as the chief of civil affairs.

In June 1914, Tang Xiangming was appointed as General Jingwu, supervising military affairs in Hunan and serving as patrol envoy.

Tang Xiangming was well aware of Yuan Shikai's hatred for the revolutionaries, and received special instructions from his brother Tang Hualongzhi. During his stay in Hunan, he implemented brutal rule and killed revolutionaries wantonly. The people of Hunan continued to launch anti-Yuan and anti-Tang struggles. Tang Xiangming There was even more bloody suppression, and he was called the"Tang Butcher" by the Hunan people.

He also actively promoted donations for Yuan Shikai's"Safeguarding Committee". Tang Xiangming also set up a special office in Hunan to fabricate public opinion and use grand forms and elegant rhetoric to describe Yuan Shikai as the Holy Son of Heaven who is willing to return to heaven. position to comfort the people."

It can be said that he strongly supports Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor.

He has the strength of two divisions, about 23,000 men."

"Long Jiguang was also one of the warlords in western Yunnan. Long Jiguang, whose courtesy name was Zicheng (Zichen), was from Mengzi, Yunnan.

In 1914, he was named the governor of Guangxi, and later exchanged with General Shen and became the general of Guizhou.

During his time in power in Guangxi, Long Jiguang carried out a large-scale"cleansing" campaign in the countryside wherever he went, killing, burning, and looting along the way, leaving dozens of villages empty and destroying dozens of villages.

Excessive levies were imposed, and taxes were collected twenty years later.

It can be said that all evil is committed in Guangxi and public resentment is boiling.

There are about 18,000 people in hand.

Shen Hao said:"Kong Jie, then Guizhou and Hunan are handed over to you. Is there any difficulty?""

Kong Jie saluted:"There is no difficulty. If they dare to move, we will destroy them."

Then Shen Hao pointed to the map and said:"Then the only ones bordering Guangxi are Tang Jirao in Yunnan and Laos, which was colonized by France.

Although Tang Jirao opposed the imperial system, we must be on guard against him, and Laos must also be on guard against him. Who will go?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As soon as Ding Wei was about to talk, he was overtaken by Zhou Weiguo.

"General, I will go and let Commander Ding guard eastern Guangdong."

Shen Hao nodded and said,"Okay, do you have any opinions?"

"No" everyone shouted in unison;

"Okay, let Zhou Weiguo go"

"Ding Wei, you are guarding Guangdong and providing support at any time."

""Yes, general."

Following Shen Hao's order, everyone in the group began to guard intensively.

The combined strength of the surrounding provinces was less than one-third of Shen Hao's, so Shen Hao naturally had no pressure.

The deaths of Akashi Genjiro, the Japanese governor in Wanwan, and Mitsui Tomita, the commander of the 18th Army Division of the Japanese Army, outraged the entire Japanese cabinet.

If it were shown that Mitsui Tomita, the commander of the 18th Army Division, was killed by the Germans in the Battle of Qingdao, Japan would still be convinced..

But in the end, he was killed by a group of unknown and backward peasant rebels. This was simply a great shame and humiliation. The cabinet held a meeting overnight.

The Prime Minister Masaki Terauchi, the Minister of War, the Minister of the Navy, the Japanese Chief of General Staff and other military leaders all Assemble.

Masaki Terauchi said with a serious face:"The Battle of Keelung Port was a great shame and humiliation, and it made our Empire of Japan a joke in the international community.

Let's discuss how to regain face."

The Minister of the Navy said angrily:"It is simply a shame and a great humiliation. At the beginning, a lieutenant general was killed.

This is the first time in Japan's foreign history.

Someone has to be responsible this time.

043 I think Lieutenant General Shiba Goro, the commander of the 12th Division and the commander of the Tokyo Garrison, is the commander-in-chief of the army and must be responsible. He is not capable of serving as the commander-in-chief.

I think the commander-in-chief should be under the command of Lieutenant General Tomosaburo Kato, commander of the Navy Fleet."

The Minister of War said unhappily:"Shouldn't we investigate clearly first and divide the responsibilities?

Besides, is it appropriate for the Navy to command the Army, two different arms?"

The chief of general staff said angrily:"How long has it been and you are still talking about this? Shouldn't you think about how to save the face of the Japanese Empire?"

The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command Department and the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet nodded.

Masaki Terauchi said:"Where you fell, you got up.

Attack Wanwan with all our strength, and take Wanwan within three days. Even if we flatten Wanwan, we must wash away our shame with blood."

The commander of the combined fleet said:"I suggest fighting on multiple fronts, starting from the north and south of Wanwan. Land on the island at the same time, attack from both front and back"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs (Chief of Foreign Affairs) Ishii Kikujiro said:"Yu Qingfeng and others have nothing to worry about. They were able to defeat our 18th Division this time. It was obviously because Shen Hao, the patrol envoy from Beiyang to Guangdong and Guangxi, was behind them.

We should deal with him now"

"It makes sense."

Masaki Terauchi:"Ishii Kikujiro, what do you think should be done?"

"While we put pressure on Yuan Shikai, we also instigated warlords in Fujian, Hunan and other places to support them in encircling and suppressing Shen Hao.

We are also negotiating with the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, allowing the three countries to intervene and exert pressure at the same time."
