    Sun Yixian broke his promise, which made Chen Jiongming very disgusted. He believed that "the reason why we have been making revolutions and trying to overthrow the Beiyang government by force is simply because the Beiyang warlords forgot the "Provisional Agreement" and ravaged the constitutional government. Now since the "  The Provisional Agreement has been restored, so naturally we don¡¯t need to rebel."

    Because the Beiyang government almost simultaneously announced the implementation of the law that Sun Yat-sen insisted on restoring, Sun Yat-sen's law-protection movement should be declared a success.  However, Sun Yixian still ignored Chen Jiongming's opposition and insisted on violently overthrowing the Beiyang government through the military Northern Expedition. What did he do?  Opposition for the sake of opposition?  Do you want to eat it together with Zhibong?  It¡¯s really overestimating one¡¯s capabilities!

    A total of 150,000 people in the 8th Brigade of the 6th Zhili Division are concentrated in the hands of military strongman Wu Peifu. The Fenglian People's Army and the Fengjun Army have 23 divisions with more than 300,000 people. They are all field troops. How many divisions does the Guangdong Army have?  Do ants eat elephants?

    In history, if there hadn't been a big battle between Zhili and Fengcheng, and Wu Peifu was captured by Feng Yuxiang and others, the Northern Expedition would never have been able to defeat him; the Fengtian clique was also severely weakened because of Guo Songling's rebellion, which turned the Fengcheng faction upside down and killed several generals.  , otherwise how to write history is really interesting.  Zhang Hanqing has initially reversed the historical mistakes of the Feng Clan, and Chen Jiongming does not want to make this mistake anymore.

    Seeing the strength of the People's Army, Fujian governor Li Houji initially pro-Anhui clique and later switched to the Zhili clique. He is currently defeated by Zang Zhiping, the remnant of the Anhui clique. It is rumored that Fujian governor Li Houji has asked Sun Chuanfang, the newly appointed border defense envoy of Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian, for help.  Sun Chuanfang is an official appointed by Zhang Hanqing. If he enters Fujian, he will inevitably have trouble with him.  Moreover, now that the Zhili-Fengzhi faction has taken control of Beijing, who will be conquered by this Northern Expedition?

    Chen Jiongming has always advocated establishing a good constitutional government in Guangdong, imitating the United States, establishing a federal system similar to the United States, and gradually moving towards peaceful reunification, that is, "federal provincial autonomy."  However, Sun Yixian advocated "centralization of power" and wanted to use force in the Northern Expedition in order to seize power by himself.  The fragile superficial harmony between the two became fragile after his chief of staff Deng Keng was assassinated.

    He had already had trouble with Sun Yat-sen before, when the Extraordinary Congress elected Sun Yat-sen as the Extraordinary President in April last year.  Here, he opposed Sun's inauguration as president, and he did not even attend Sun's inauguration ceremony.

    He believes that according to the Presidential Election Law, the president is jointly elected by the two houses of Congress. At least two-thirds of the total number of members present, that is, 580 people, can be present. However, Guangdong only has more than 200 people, which is less than half of the original members of the House of Representatives. Moreover, registration is implemented.  Vote, isn¡¯t this a self-destructive law?  What is the essential difference from the Northern Destruction Law?  Once a formal government is established in Guangdong, there is only one outcome, and the north and the south will fall into war again.

    Sun Yat-sen still did it. Because there were not enough members in the emergency period, it was called the Extraordinary Congress. The president elected by this abnormal Congress would naturally be the Extraordinary President

    However, Chen Jiongming was a powerful faction after all, and the "Northern Expedition" still relied on him. Although I don't know what he was thinking, Sun Yat-sen still appointed Chen as Minister of Army and Minister of General Affairs, and persuaded him to join the Kuomintang - the Kuomintang was already the fourth  After the first reorganization, there is no need to take fingerprints and swear allegiance to Sun Yat-sen himself.

    This dispute began to intensify when Chen Jiongming's general Ye Ju led the troops stationed in Guangxi and Guangdong back to Guangzhou without permission, demanded military pay from the Generalissimo's Mansion, and started to stir up trouble.  Sun Yat-sen was furious and dismissed his posts as Commander-in-Chief of the Guangdong Army, Governor of Guangdong Province, and Chief of the Interior. He only retained the post of Chief of the Army. Chen Jiongming, who was unwilling to make the Northern Expedition, resigned and returned to his hometown of Huizhou.

    Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was victorious in southern Gansu, advancing towards Ganzhou, and likely to meet the People's Army in Nanchang, Sun Yixian asked Hu Hanmin to stay in Shaoguan while he returned to Guangdong from Guangxi in the summer. He wanted to personally settle the situation in the rear area.

    The Guangdong Army is Chen Jiongming's army. Although he gave up, Sun Yat-sen's men could not take over.  There was no other way, so Sun Yixian appointed Chen Jiongming's subordinate Ye Ju to supervise the Guangdong-Guangxi border to show his trust.  But Ye Ju didn't appreciate it, and actually brought more than 60 battalions of Guangdong troops to the provincial capital under the pretext of welcoming Chen's reinstatement.

    However, at this time, the Guangdong Army was divided. One faction demanded that Chen Jiongming return to the province immediately, resume all his duties, and control the overall situation; the other faction was dissatisfied with Chen Jiongming's excessive weakness towards Sun Yixian, and hoped to be led by Ye Ju and completely break with Sun.  If Chen Jiongming disagrees, he will be sent abroad (a common practice for politicians to step down in this era) or continue to recuperate in Huizhou.

    Ye Ju declared martial law in Guangzhou, with sentries all over the thoroughfares, with the intention of intimidating him. After all, with Sun Yat-sen's prestige, Ye Ju did not dare to move. If he could force him away, it would be a victory.  At this time, Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching-ling were stationed at the Yuexiu Tower in Guanyin Mountain, the Presidential Palace in Guangzhou. Ye Ju had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Guangzhou city, and he only had a guard regiment. This shows that he should have known Ye Ju's intentions, otherwise he would not have been so entrusted.

    He hosted a banquet at the Presidential Palace to receive the Cantonese generals, but not a single senior officer came. Only a few middle- and lower-ranking officers came. This was disappointing.??.  The 4th, 9th, and 11th Divisions stationed in Jiangxi also stopped resting and regrouped in Fuzhou.

    Fang Benren, the garrison envoy in southern Jiangxi, was secretly "in solidarity" with the Northern Expeditionary Army. Seeing that the People's Army had transformed from the original "enemy army" into a "friendly army" supporting Sun Yixian, he ordered his headquarters to open the road and allow the People's Army to pass through.  .

    In the original official history, Chiang Kai-shek rushed from Shanghai to Guangdong on a starry night after receiving a call from Sun Yat-sen, "It's urgent, please come as soon as possible." He finally escaped danger after 56 days of being in trouble with Sun Yat-sen, and later wrote about this battle in President Sun Yat-sen's Guangzhou  "The Misfortune".  He deliberately asked Sun Yat-sen to write a preface. From then on, he became famous within the party and created a generation of heroes.

    "However, the war situation developed too fast, and he had no chance to rise. This was caused by the current situation.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
