Yang Wei changed the situation and only used a few of his men to replace Xia Wei, who was originally the commander-in-chief of the defense of Wuhan, with deputy commander-in-chief Li Mingrui. This is why Yang Wei arranged for Yu Zuobai to win over Li Mingrui. In comparison, Li Mingrui is naturally more powerful.

Xia Wei is easier to win over and more likely to be loyal to the party-state. As for the commander-in-chief or deputy commander, who will take this position all depends on Yang Wei.

Before the war started, the defenders of the city had already become his own family. Chiang Kai-shek was full of praise for Yang Wei's strategy. Yang Wei then said: "Principal, the Guangxi Clique has been shattered. This is a great opportunity to dismantle it in one fell swoop.

, I feel that there is another person who should be brought over at this time."

The candidate proposed by Yang Wei is He Jian. This person has chaotic political tendencies and can be said to be a good man who can adapt to the changing circumstances. He is especially greedy for power and can make him turn against him with just a little inducement.

Yang Yongtai expressed doubts about Yang Wei's suggestion. He Jian was personally supported by Li Zongren. How could he add insult to injury to Li Zongren at this juncture?

There was no difference between the two, but to be fair, after these incidents, Chiang Kai-shek was more inclined to Yang Wei's suggestion, and immediately entrusted Yang Wei to win over He Jian. Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 221

In Yang Wei's view, the reason why He Jian is easy to win over is not only because He Jian clings to power, but also because the current situation of the Guangxi Clique has taken a turn for the worse. According to reports from soldiers sent by Yang Wei to investigate the situation, the current situation within the Guangxi Clique is

Morale is low, and I am really worried about the Jiang-Gui war. If I can make good use of this great opportunity, it will be easy to win over most of the officers and generals.

Yang Yongtai had no hope for Yang Wei's trip, and cynicism was indispensable. He only hoped that Yang Wei would succeed more than he would fail, and tried to regain Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him. However, Yang Yongtai did not expect that Yang Wei would not only cost him the title of "Chairman of Hunan Province"

They roped in He Jian and exchanged the official titles of director of Guangdong appeasement and "chairman" of Guangdong Province for Li Jishen's old subordinates Chen Jitang and Chen Mingshu.

The wealth of Guangdong Province should not be wasted and sacrificed by one faction or another. No matter it is He Jian, Chen Jitang or Chen Mingshu, they all have the same idea at this time, that is, since Li Zongren and Li Jishen are no longer able to protect themselves, the Guangxi faction is obviously at a disadvantage.

Naturally, the most beneficial behavior is to act according to the situation. The word loyalty is really a bit foolish in this situation. The old ship has been broken, so naturally we have to find a new way out, and Chiang Kai-shek is a good backer.

Yang Wei's wishful thinking was accurate. This move was to draw firepower from the bottom of the cauldron. Now the Gui Clan was devastated and only stragglers were left. The frustrated Li Zongren had to order his generals to abandon Wuhan and fled back to Guangxi in embarrassment.

At this point, the Jiang-Gui War, which officially started on March 27, 18th year of the Republic of China, only took more than a week to disintegrate the Guangxi system. It was like a revolving lantern and was so fast that it was overwhelming and no one could react.

By that time, the Huguang area had already changed.

Feng Yuxiang became Chiang Kai-shek's next target.

Long before the Chiang Kai-shek war began, Chiang Kai-shek had never thought that he would take action against Feng Yuxiang. The reason was that he did not have enough confidence in defeating the Guangxi clique. For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek also sent Shao Lizi to Shaanxi to meet with Feng Yuxiang, claiming that

As long as Feng Yuxiang sent troops to help Chiang Kai-shek attack the Guangxi clique, he would be rewarded. One of the rewards would be to promote Feng Yuxiang to the position of President of the Executive Yuan. The second reward would be to hand over one of the two provinces, Hubei and Anhui, to Feng Yuxiang's choice and designate it as the sphere of influence of the Northwest Army.

In the past, such a generous and attractive reward would definitely be enough to make Feng Yuxiang excited, but the current situation is extraordinary. The victory of Jiang Gui's battle is difficult to determine. If Jiang Jun loses, the bargaining chips that were originally discussed will be wiped out. Not to mention, he

The risk of being reduced to joining the defeated army is really daunting.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yuxiang decided to mobilize his troops first to ensure his own territory. After all, it was more suitable for him to watch the tiger fight from a distance. In Feng Yuxiang's words, standing still like this is called "retracting your fist to hit people." After all, his numbers

Thousands of elite soldiers can

He is not a cannon fodder. On the other hand, Shen Xinqian can recharge his energy later. Feng Yuxiang thinks that Jiang Gui is of equal strength, so it is better to let them fight fiercely. Then he will kill him by surprise with Bian Zhuang's plan of stabbing the tiger. It can be said that it is

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.

The smug Feng Yuxiang immediately began the dispatch operation.

The four most valued generals under Feng Yuxiang were Han Fuju, Shi Yousan, Sun Liangcheng and Sun Lianzhong. Chiang Kai-shek's generosity made Feng Yuxiang so nervous that he started dispatching activities without even bothering to cover up.

The Fu Canal was placed in the southern section of the Beijing-Hankow Line, and Shi Yousan was placed in Nanyang, Henan Province to the north. Feng Yuxiang, who acted cautiously, even transferred Sun Liangcheng, who had already served as the "Chairman" of the Shandong "Government", to Western Henan to serve as the general reserve team.

Three of the four tiger generals were deployed to the front by Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang's defensive efforts made a big fuss and became known to the world. However, no matter how earnestly Shao Lizi tried to persuade Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang remained unmoved.

Although he knew that his move had shown his rebelliousness, and Chiang Kai-shek's acuity could not have noticed it, Feng Yuxiang could not care about so much at this time. It was better to be rebellious first than to be restrained later, not to mention

The outcome of the battle between Jiang and Gui has yet to be determined.

Feng Yuxiang made a pot of good tea and cut the cakes, and was ready to sit down and watch the show of fighting between the dragon and the tiger, but he didn't expect that as soon as the dragon emerged, the defeated tiger returned to the mountain, and Lao Jiang sang to the full house in one voice,

Before Feng Yuxiang could recover, Jiang Jun had already won a complete victory.

Before the seats were warmed up, the show ended inexplicably. When Feng Yuxiang came to his senses, he realized that he had not bought a ticket yet, so he immediately issued a telegram in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's request and expressed his willingness to join forces with Chiang Kai-shek to fight for the Guangxi clique.

If you don't buy a ticket to the theater, you will inevitably be beaten violently. If you buy a ticket after the theater, you will be beaten even more fiercely. Feng Yuxiang naively thought that he could make up for it by resigning as an afterthought and waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to bring him the official position.

Feng Yuxiang, who still didn't know the situation, said proudly: "Don't rush to transport troops in a war. Although our Northwest Army did not send a single soldier in the Jiang-Gui war, in name, it saved the principal's face. The principal will never

Are you going back on your word?"

Feng Yuxiang was still very angry when he said this. However, after waiting patiently for a few days, Feng Yuxiang lost his confidence. He jumped around in the room and yelled and cursed every day. He had offended the Guangxi faction by announcing the power of Chiang Kai-shek. How could he be abandoned now?

The back of the head.

Feng Yuxiang, who had not received an official title, immediately held a secret meeting. His subordinates who understood the situation sent out calls one after another, protesting Feng Yuxiang's injustice in the name of fairness and justice. They strongly supported Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army of the Party Protection and National Salvation Army, and at the same time, they were accused of misdirecting the party and the country.

, requiring Chiang Kai-shek to step down and make way for the wise. Quenching Blood Mountains and Rivers 221

After the momentum was built, Feng Yuxiang stood up calmly and claimed that the Nanjing "government" controlled the three major powers and had lost the qualification to represent the whole country, so it would carry out crusade for the sake of the people of the world.

Feng Yuxiang believed that the Northwest Army was so powerful that with such a formation, even if Chiang Kai-shek refused to give way to the talented, he would still give himself an official title. Wouldn't he be able to enjoy the success by then?
