Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 385 Death

At this meeting in Beijing, although everyone was able to sit at the negotiating table, they exchanged opinions in an orderly manner.

But in fact, there is no talk of any results.

After all, the two sides are not just at odds with each other in terms of ideas, but their fundamental interests are in conflict with each other.

Therefore, although the two sides have talked for more than a month, they have only reached some agreements with little practical significance.

On the core issue of the future direction of this country and this nation, both sides still have you talking about yours and I talking about mine.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Yixian's life gradually came to an end.

In fact, as early as on the way to the capital, his body couldn't bear it anymore.

Although the famous doctors in the capital hospital tried their best to treat him, they were still unable to recover. The cancer cells had spread to various internal organs in Mr. Yixian's body, and they were crazily devouring the remaining vitality.

At this point, Mr. Yixian did not experience any emotional breakdown.

As usual, he tried his best to put on a peaceful posture, talked and said goodbye to everyone one by one.

But everyone could see that the little vitality left was rapidly passing from his eyes.

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee, Lin Hongfei was the first group to have a dying conversation with Mr. Yixian.

As Mr. Yixian's most valued figure in the real power faction in the army, as soon as Lin Hongfei entered the door, Mr. Yixian's eyes brightened a lot.

Immediately afterwards, when Lin Hongfei was sitting on the chair in front of the hospital bed, Mr. Yixian stretched out his thin right hand, as if holding Lin Hongfei's palm with the last bit of strength.

His voice was already very weak. In order to hear more clearly, Lin Hongfei leaned forward and put his ear close to Mr. Yixian's mouth.

At this time, his weak voice clearly reached Lin Hongfei's ears:

"Revolutionary fire is hard-won!"

"The hope of the country and the future of the nation are all tied to this handful of fire."

"Wanwang Yunsheng protects it with all his strength, don't let it go out!"

"Lucky for the country, lucky for the people!"

Ten days later, Mr. passed away.

The capital was shaken, and the provisional government held a state funeral.

Lin Hongfei attended the funeral as a spirit supporter.

With the death of Mr. Yixian, this meeting in the capital will come to an end.

The situation once again returned to a state of chaos.

Lin Hongfei didn't stay in the capital for too long. After all, this is Fengjun's territory.

Moreover, as soon as Mr. Yixian left, the domestic situation became increasingly chaotic, and wars would definitely break out one after another.

Lin Hongfei must return to his homeland as soon as possible and make plans early.

After the state funeral, he went south by train to Yu Province, and then returned to Lingnan Province.

Things did not go out of Lin Hongfei's expectation.

As expected, it has not been a week since Lin Hongfei returned to Lingnan Province.

Wu Ziyu specially sent a special envoy to meet Lin Hongfei.

The purpose of the special envoy's visit this time is quite simple. Now that Wu Ziyu has made a comeback, he is looking for an opportunity to return to the top.

Therefore, he secretly contacted Sun Chuanfang, Feng Huanzhang and others, preparing to launch a counterattack against the Feng army, in an attempt to repel the Feng army and force them to return outside the pass.

Of course, this time, Wu Ziyu learned the lesson from last time.

He must not be content with just driving Fengjun back outside the pass. He also has to rush out of Shanhaiguan and completely occupy Fengjun's territory.

Only in this way can Fengjun have no hope of turning the tables.

For this reason, Wu Ziyu also claimed to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Fourteen Provinces.

The name is very famous, but the only one that can be controlled by Wu Ziyu is his province of Hubei.

The other troops just listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.

As long as Fengjun is still there, we will still be good friends.

Once the Feng army is defeated, everyone will immediately turn their guns and attack each other.

Of course Wu Ziyu knew the situation here, so he also hoped to draw Lin Hongfei in.

With the support of Lin Hongfei, the tour envoy of the three provinces, Wu Ziyu was able to sit more securely in the position of commander-in-chief of the allied forces for hunting thieves in the fourteen provinces.

The troops below will also be afraid of the cooperation of Lin Hongfei and Wu Ziyu, and have to obey Wu Ziyu's orders.

When the special envoy met Lin Hongfei, his attitude was very respectful and his tone was very polite:

"Shuai Yun, Marshal Yu said that as long as you are willing to publicly express your support for him, Marshal Yu will grant you the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the thief-fighting coalition forces of the fourteen provinces!"

"Not only that, if Fengjun is defeated in the future, the territories of Lu and Anhui provinces will be placed under your name!"

"In the future, Marshal Yu will establish a ruling government in the capital. You will be the prime minister of the ruling government and have the right to form a cabinet!"

"The status is second only to Yushuai!"

"I don't know what you want, Yun Shuai?"

After the special envoy finished speaking, he looked at Lin Hongfei with a little more confidence.

The territory of two provinces, the post of prime minister, what an attractive condition!

Lin Hongfei will definitely agree!

Anyway, the special envoy believed that if he were Lin Hongfei, he would definitely agree immediately without any hesitation.

However, Lin Hongfei just smiled and said peacefully:

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

Then, no more words.

The special envoy is not a fool, and the word "drink tea" was obviously a tactful refusal.

But the special envoy did not give up. He continued to persuade:

"Yun Shuai, if you think it's inappropriate, you can also take charge of the areas around Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"In this way, it happens to be connected with your territory in Shanghai stock market."

"How do you feel?"

Seeing how persistent the special envoy was, Lin Hongfei simply stopped being euphemistic and said bluntly:

"Can I ask you a question first?"

"Excuse me, Yun Shuai, I will know everything!"

"Okay, let me ask you, do I need to send troops to take down these territories, or will they be mine with a wave of Yushuai's hand?"

"This....."

The special envoy was at a loss for words.

Lin Hongfei continued:

"If it's the latter, I can own Lu, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places if Yushuai speaks."

"Then don't worry, I will publicly declare my support for Yu Shuai."

"But if it's the former, I still need to send troops to attack."

"Then what's the point of me being the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces of Thieves in Fourteen Provinces?"

"Anyway, I led the troops to win it myself. Why should I get myself an extra meaningless deputy commander-in-chief?"

The special envoy opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He was completely refuted by Lin Hongfei's words, and he had no power to fight back.

In the end, the special envoy brought the topic to family affection:

"But Yun Shuai, Yu Shuai is your elder after all. You and Yu Shuai are also related. They are members of your own family."

"Now Yushuai needs help. As a member of your own family, don't you have to help?"

"You and Yushuai are in love with each other!"

Lin Hongfei chuckled and said: "You are right, Yushuai is indeed one of his family members, and he has helped me a lot before."

"However, I am not a person who is indifferent to family. When Yushuai was in trouble in Huangzhou, he was almost desperate."

"I made a special trip to visit, and then handed over the western Hubei area to Yushuai."

"By the way, I remembered. When Yushuai lived in seclusion in Huangzhou, your special envoy seems to have found an errand with Fengjun, right?"

"Now that you see Yushuai making a comeback, you run back again."

"Based on your little actions, you don't seem to be qualified to talk about love in front of me!"

"This...."

The envoy couldn't say anything this time.

Seeing that the special envoy's face was flushed, Lin Hongfei didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, go back and tell Yushuai."

"Nowadays, the world has changed, and his old ways are outdated."

"It's just a flashback right now."

"If he believes in me, he will stick to Hubei Province and don't care about world affairs."

"With this province, he doesn't have to worry about the Huangzhou incident happening again."

"But if he insists on going his own way and intends to make a comeback, I can't help it."

"I will not support him in this matter."

"If he wins, I'm mistaken. I'll go to the door and admit my mistake to him personally."

"If he fails, don't worry, I will provide him with old age care."

After finishing speaking, Lin Hongfei got up and left in a hurry, never looking at the special envoy again, as if he would explode if he looked at him too much.

Seeing this situation, the special envoy had no choice but to go back to Hubei province and inform Wu Ziyu of the matter.

Although Wu Ziyu was angry in his heart, it was difficult to express it, so he could only sullenly say:

"Okay, if he doesn't help, don't help!"

"I can do it all by myself!"

"In the future, I will wait for this guy to come to Hubei Province to admit his mistake to me!"

. . . .

Not long after sending the special envoy away, Lin Hongfei received a slightly explosive piece of news.

"General Kewei Sun Chuanfang led the army to rebel against Feng!"

"Feng's army has not fought well and has retreated to the north bank of the Yangtze River."

"Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places are all owned by Sun Chuanfang!"

Lin Hongfei's reaction was quite calm, but the others were surprised and astonished.

No wonder they weren't surprised.

Fengjun was so powerful before that in less than a year, he successively annexed Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, and had a vague tendency to dominate the country.

But the result?

Now, before he could sit firmly on his butt, Sun Chuanfang led his troops to beat him back!

This Sun Chuanfang is too powerful!

However, Fengjun's defeat was not only due to Sun Chuanfang.

In addition to him, Wu Ziyu, who has made a comeback and is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Fourteen Provinces, Feng Huanzhang, who was stationed in the northwest, and Chen Tiaoyuan, who was transferred to the Assistant Military Affairs Office of Jiangsu Province, all contributed a lot this time.

Therefore, Fengjun was not so much defeated by Sun Chuanfang.

It would be better to say that Fengjun, like the previous Zhijun, was besieged by many parties!

"The country is really a big stage!"

"Sing it, I'll come on stage!"

"No one wants to dominate on this stage."

"Everyone thinks they are the protagonist, but someone will drive you out immediately."

Looking at Sun Chuanfang's attack report, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In fact, after the special envoy left last time, Wu Ziyu still felt it was a pity not to bring Lin Hongfei along.

So they sent three groups of people one after another to continue persuading Lin Hongfei to join him.

However, Lin Hongfei still firmly refused.

And in order to completely make Wu Ziyu give up this idea, this time he also blatantly pointed out a reason.

That is, since Wu Ziyu also participated in the matter of attacking Feng.

Then when the battle is over and the territory and accounts are divided, Lin Hongfei can't be as strong as before in the Shanghai stock market.

In case Yushuai acts like an old man, he, a junior, can't be tough.

Simply, I won’t get involved in your affairs.

If I want territory, I can conquer it myself without your help!

Everyone does not interfere with each other!

What's more, after going through several battles before, the soldiers of the Shanling Army were also a little tired.

Lin Hongfei is going to let the troops rest for a while.

As for who would win among Feng Jun, Wu Ziyu, and Sun Chuanfang, Lin Hongfei didn't bother to think about it.

Whoever loves wins!

As long as it doesn't affect my territory!

But I have to say that Wu Ziyu is worthy of being the number two person in the direct line.

Although the defeat in Tanggu was a mess, but after they got the land in western Hubei, they got up again!

Xiao Yaonan was driven away, and the opposition forces in Hubei Province were almost dealt with by him.

Tens of thousands of horses were gathered under his command again, and there was a hint of the atmosphere of the previous prosperity.

But Lin Hongfei saw clearly that this was just a flashback.

Although Wu Ziyu has many people under his command, there are not many who can truly be called elite.

As for the officers at all levels below, they are not so much loyal to Wu Ziyu as they are loyal to the money and official positions given by Wu Ziyu.

Loyalty is far inferior to the confidantes who died in the Zhili area.

But there is no way, Wu Ziyu is not available now.

He can only rely on money and official positions to buy people's hearts.

But such an army, since it can be loyal to Wu Ziyu for money and official position.

Then he will definitely betray Wu Ziyu for more money and a bigger official position in the future.

As for the title of [Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces of Thieves in Fourteen Provinces] that Wu Ziyu wanted to give to Lin Hongfei.

That's just a large [Children's Play House].

It sounds great, but actually you can coax yourself to play with it.

But right now, Wu Ziyu doesn't think it's just playing tricks, because he does see signs of returning to his peak.

After the Feng army was driven out of the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Chuanfang and Wu Ziyu jointly attacked Feng and directly annexed the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi.

Coupled with the original occupation of Fujian and Zhejiang, Sun Chuanfang immediately called himself the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces!

The Feng army retreated to Lu Province again, and set up defenses at the junction of Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu, preparing to resist Sun Chuanfang's troops who might go north at any time.

And Wu Ziyu also regained control of the Lianghu area, and there was hope of revival for a time.

As a result, the world has said that the circle of Lao Beiyang has entered the era of the Three Giants.

The Feng family is located in Zhili, Lu Province, Rehe, Heijiliao and other places.

Wu Ziyu, a veteran of the direct line across the two lakes.

Sun Chuanfang, the Southeast King who controls the five provinces.

They are also the last glory of the Beiyang faction.

However, there are also good people who believe that the current situation is not the Big Three, but the Big Four.

This also includes Lin Hongfei, a bystander who is watching from the sidelines.

After all, he also came from the old Beiyang, but he chose to stand on the side of Guangdong and Guangxi in the end.

But in the final analysis, Lin Hongfei is also a prince who listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement.

At this time, the domestic situation was at a stalemate.

When everyone is unable to develop externally, internal disputes will naturally arise.

There may even be serious situations that cause division.

"Guo Songling from the Feng faction has rebelled!"
