    Zhao Minggao is an expert in fighting, and Wang Ruihua is Zhang Hanqing's confidant (at least Yu Xuezhong thinks so), so he humbly consults Zhao Minggao on many military construction issues, and fully cooperates with Wang Ruihua's requirements in the political work of the People's Army.

    The generals all recognized him so, and Zhao Minggao was gradually moved by his magnanimity and dedication to the People's Army. Originally, he was puzzled that Xuezhong had climbed up to him so quickly.  Now it seems that the young commander has his own extraordinary understanding of hiring people.

    With the cooperation of the generals, Wang Ruihua's political work went smoothly, and the concept of the People's Party as leadership was quickly established in the army.  The South China People's Army, even more than the Central China People's Army, recognizes the leadership of the People's Party.  Of course, Zhang Hanqing served as Yu Xuezhong's introducer to join the party, and Yu Xuezhong also joined the party.

    When the People's Army entered Guangdong, it was under the banner of seeking help from Sun Yat-sen.  However, after settling in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen was not invited to deal with the aftermath.  At this time, Sun Yixian was still living a wandering life in Lingding Ocean.

    The situation in Guangdong at this time was very complicated, with the People's Army and the Guangdong Army confronting each other in various places.  The Guangdong army was divided into several groups: those loyal to Sun Yixian, the rebels who followed Ye Ju, those who tended to Chen Jiongming, those who had no ties with the three parties but were in confrontation with the People's Army, and a few who were at a loss.

    "However, the South China People's Army has an absolute advantage: both in terms of numbers and unity of command.  Although it is also temporarily composed of several major forces, it is definitely much better than the Guangdong Army.

    ¡°But chaos leads to change, and Guangdong needs stability.  Zhang Hanqing decided to visit Chen Jiongming. He now needs him to come forward to clean up the mess.

    Chen Jiongming is now staying in his hometown in Huizhou.  As soon as the news came that the Presidential Palace in Guangzhou had been bombarded, he sighed dejectedly: "I will never be able to clean it up in my life!"

    However, the next day, Wei Bangping, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Cantonese Army and the commander of the Guangzhou garrison, urgently called Wei Bangping: "The Guangdong incident has gotten into such a mess. It is hard to take the blame. I am ashamed and hateful, and the bandits have made public statements. The only way is to go out completely and thank the people of the country."  Now that Guangdong Province has been reduced to a coronation, I have to rely on my brother to shoulder the arduous task of protecting Sun Gong's honor."

    The next day, he sent a telegram to Wu Tingfang, who had succeeded him as the governor, also asking him to try to keep Sun Yat-sen safe. Unfortunately, the 80-year-old Wu was so angry that he went to the hospital after hearing the big change. This was also the time after the People's Army entered Guangzhou.  One of the reasons no one cleans up the mess.  It all happened suddenly, and there was no detailed investigation at all.

    Under this circumstance, it is appropriate to re-appoint Chen Jiongming, who has almost the same governance philosophy as Zhang Hanqing.  Putting aside political controversies, Chen Jiongming's personal life and conduct are completely different from what people understand as a warlord's style.

    He is not only talented in literature, but also honest and self-sufficient, and does not keep any personal wealth.  Historically, when he died of illness in Hong Kong, he had to use the coffin prepared by his mother.  He is also very rigorous in life, and he is proud of his non-dual color, which at least Zhang Hanqing admires.  After his death, Hong Kong's Industrial and Commercial Daily commented: "The Kuomintang has lost an enemy, and China has lost a good person."

    From the time he was a member to the governor, he regarded the ban on gambling as an important task: the Qing government regarded finance and taxation as an important source of revenue. Banning gambling would undoubtedly destroy the jobs of thousands of financial businessmen and cut off the number of government officials a year.  With millions of taels of silver rolling in, the pressure can be seen.

    But he was very decisive and advocated the use of thunderous means, so according to the regulations, gambling in Guangzhou has disappeared, so the bridge built in Guangzhou last year was named "Chen Gong's Forbidden Wealth Memorial Bridge", which shows that this matter is deeply popular.

    ¡°He achieved county-level autonomy and judicial independence, and he also made great achievements in the economy and education. However, he was in power for too short a time, and the results were not as loud as his name of banning gambling.

    However, his achievements in governing Zhangzhou in the past few years were highly praised by the American Consul in Xiamen, Kellyton: "Chen implemented various municipal reforms, and the methods he used were almost revolutionary; but the results were excellent, and the people were grateful for the results."  Satisfied. This shows the Chinese that things can be done without excessive toil and heavy taxes."

    He believed that the twenty-six counties in southern Fujian under Chen Jiongming's rule could be called "Model Little China."

    "That's enough. For his ability and his work for the people, he doesn't care about the historical grudges between him and Sun Yat-sen.  The starting point of all things done for the people, no matter what the outcome, is worthy of praise.

    Zhang Hanqing visited Chen Jiongming at his home in Huizhou. At that time, the subordinates who supported Chen thought that the People's Army was here to arrest Chen, and they all took a desperate stance.  Zhang Hanqing smiled lightly, leaving his guard and a regiment behind, and then walked into Chen's house calmly.

    Since you have decided to take him under your wing, you naturally have to show some trust. And for this reason, there are still so many people who are loyal to him. It is conceivable that he is not a bad person.  No matter what the outcome is, I am here as a guest, so why???Nearly two million people invade Guandong every year, needless to say!

    In places under the control of the People¡¯s Party, administration is based on merit rather than whether he is a member of the People¡¯s Party!  Are you from the Feng family?  Chen Gong knows that Yu Youren, the governor of Shaanxi, Xia Shoukang, the governor of Hubei, and Xu Shiying, the governor of Anhui¡ªGovernor Xu was recommended by me as the director-general of internal affairs of the Central Committee half a month ago.

    ¡°None of them are from the People¡¯s Party, and I didn¡¯t even know them before entering Central China. Now they have become my right-hand men, and they have also become high-ranking officials.

    Therefore, Xueliang believes that Commander-in-Chief Chen, who has the ability to bring benefits to the people of Guangdong Province, can legitimately serve as the governor of Guangdong Province!  This is also the purpose of my coming here today.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
