The good news that the Governor's Office had been captured quickly reached Mai Zilong's ears.
The newly minted chairman of Jiangdong Province led his men to visit.
The tragic battlefield made them tremble with fear.
Mai Zilong has been working as a police officer for half his life and can be considered a strong man with a strong fist who has seen blood, but what he saw in front of him still made him take a breath.
In order to show off his illustrious military exploits, Mai Ping deliberately did not let anyone clean the battlefield.
Broken limbs, broken bricks and pieces, the once magnificent gate of the government office was literally blown into ruins, and the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder smoke made people breathless.
Mai Ping introduced at the side: "Uncle, the battle was very difficult.
We used high explosives to get into the gate, and many comrades sacrificed for this."
Mai Zilong wondered: "Where did you get so many explosives?
Isn't the arsenal empty?"
Mai Ping was a little proud: "It was prepared by students from the Chemistry Department of Jiangsu University."
Mai Zilong said oh and stopped asking.
When they inspected the back house, there was a mess everywhere.
The provincial chairman frowned, took out his handkerchief and covered his nose, and asked, "Where are Chen Zikun's family members?"
Mai Ping said: "He escaped.
It's still too late to mobilize the clippers to chase him."
Mai Zilong waved his hand: "Forget it, don't chase after poor bandits."
There was a burst of cheers as the workers' picket soldiers waved their weapons to celebrate their victory.
Just now, the police were busy searching for gold and silver, but they took the opportunity to hand over all the firearms in the dead man's hands, plus the batch of gun bolts. , and in an instant, a team with powerful firepower was armed.
Mai Zilong chuckled and said: "What a team of tiger warriors.
I will reward you with a thousand oceans when I turn back.
Let the brothers, oh no, let the comrades eat wine and visit the brothels."
Mai Ping said seriously: "Uncle, we revolutionaries are not interested in this."
Mai Zilong was wondering whether he didn't want to eat, drink, visit the brothels, or get rewards, but he didn't ask further.
In the Huaijiang River, an overwhelmed shallow-water gunboat was speeding downstream pulling black smoke.
It carried more than a hundred people.
There was no room for pins on the boat.
Chen Zikun looked at the waves at the stern of the boat and the outline of the city in the distance, and was filled with emotion.
Suddenly there was a bang behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Zeng Jiao kneeling on the deck, saying sadly: "Commander, you are guilty of underestimating your position."
Chen Zikun said: "What crime do you have?"
Zeng Jiao said: "You ordered the water police to strengthen their vigilance.
I didn't take it seriously.
I went to Mai Zilong's house for a banquet.
I fell into his trap and was drunk and captured alive.
I escaped in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Except Apart from this ship, the rest of the ships and brothers were captured by Mai Zilong."
Chen Zikun said: "When was my order given?"
Zeng Jiaolong took out the official document from his arms and presented it.
Chen Zikun glanced at it and saw that the signature was cool, but it was definitely not signed by him.
He immediately smiled and said: "Mai Zilong is a cunning old man.
It's understandable that you were fooled.
Don't talk about you anymore.
Just Even I didn't expect them to be so ruthless this time.
Don't take it seriously.

Just let Lao Mai play for a few days and we'll go back in two days."
Zeng Jiao's eyes lit up: "Commander, you have already made arrangements."
Chen Zikun sneered: "Everything is under my control."
Zeng Jiao felt relieved.
Behind the cabin door, clothes fluttered, and Chen Zikun said: "Secretary Liu, stop hiding, come out."
Liu Ting walked out calmly, her light blue dress stained with blood.
Although she had not participated in the battle, she had been taking care of the wounded.
Her courage and meticulousness made everyone admire her.
Chen Zikun said: "Tell me what happened."
Liu Ting said: "Yes, I used your signature to give orders to the garrison headquarters and the Marine Police Corps to strengthen their vigilance, and also asked the arsenal to remove the bolts of the rifles in stock."
Chen Zikun looked directly into her eyes: "You know Mai Zilong will cause trouble."
Liu Ting shook her head: "I didn't know it was Mai Zilong.
I only knew that the office would be attacked.
I didn't expect them to be so cruel.
I am responsible for the death of so many people."
Chen Zikun said: "There is nothing more dangerous than raising tigers.
I always think about being kind to others, and they will do the same to me, but I fail to consider that you are not ordinary people.
This fault is mine."
Liu Ting bit her lip and said nothing, feeling extremely conflicted.
Chen Zikun said again: "I know what you are thinking.
You want them to succeed because you are one of them, but you don't want me to die or my family to suffer.
Because you still have a conscience, so you took the The compromise is to send a telegram to tell me not to return, and to use my name to give orders to the army, but in the end you will not be able to please both sides.
Please think about it carefully during this time and stop doing the secretary's job. " After saying that, he went straight back to the cabin.
His daughter, who had been frightened all day and night, was already asleep.
Looking at her red face, Chen Zikun regretted endlessly.
He was still too careless and did not expect that Mai Zilong would join forces with the party members.
The result could have been controlled.
The situation became unmanageable, and his wife and children almost suffered.
"What should I do?"
Yao Yilei asked him softly.
"I've been singing on stage for so long, and no one else can figure out whether I'm good or not.
It's not a bad thing to take advantage of this opportunity to sing in a different role and let the people weigh it for themselves."
"Then shall we come back?"
"Go back, of course we have to go back.
When Mai Zilong's performance can no longer be performed, we will come back."
"How long will it take?"
"It won't take long, and according to my estimation, Mai Zilong will help me do something big."
"Then where are we going now?"
"Go to Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government."
Chen Zikun said.
The whistle blew outside, Yan'er rubbed her eyes and woke up.
The change of ownership of Jiangdong Province shocked the whole country.
Some families were happy and others were sad.
The area controlled by the Wuhan government was originally only the three provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, and out of thin air.
Wang Zhaoming was overjoyed and ordered Tang Shengzhi's Eighth Army to quickly enter Jiangdong. , and issued an order to the new provincial chairman Mai Zilong, asking him to raise two million military salaries.

Mai Zilong almost cried after receiving the order.
Jiangdong Province is a poor place.
The annual fiscal revenue is pitifully small.
He only has a few dollars.
His own expenses are not enough.
There is no money left to provide to the Wuhan authorities.
However, Tang Shengzhi's army has already launched.
After coming in, it was not appropriate to openly disobey the order, so I had to resort to subterfuge.
In fact, Wang Zhaoming did not want to look so ugly, and he had no way to survive.
The rural areas in the three provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, etc. were all controlled by peasant associations, and they fought with landlords all day long to divide the property.
Urban industry and commerce stalled, and fiscal revenue dropped sharply.
Without money, it was impossible to fight.
He cannot defeat Nanjing, and this is what he is most concerned about.
Not knowing how expensive firewood and rice are, Chen Zikun embarked on a massive construction project, building iron bridges and running schools.
He spent money like running water, all because he had two million yuan sponsored by Chiang Kai-shek every month.
After Mai Zilong seized power, this money naturally No, it saves money There was not even a dime in his account, so he had no choice but to stop unnecessary expenses, such as public schools and free student lunches, and then re-levy some of the taxes that Chen Zikun had exempted, and add special donations.
At least he could Cope with March or May.
It's not just military pay that gives Mai Zilong a headache.
What makes him even more uncomfortable is that his nephew Mai Ping and his subordinates are becoming increasingly unrestrained.
They give speeches and parades on the streets all day long, and establish federations of trade unions, farmers' associations, and provincial government in provincial capitals.
Party school, provincial special In addition to the courts and other agencies, they also sent people to the countryside to fight against the local tyrants to allocate their fields.
Groups of squires came to the provincial government crying and complained that they couldn't control it even if they wanted to.
The workers' pickets would not rub sand in the eyes.
If they really do it, the police would There's really no chance of winning.
Mai Zilong suddenly started a large-scale construction project and had the gates of the provincial government and his mansion reinforced with cement steel bars.
During the construction process, he repeatedly asked the architect worriedly whether the reinforced gates could withstand the bombardment of high explosives.
At the end of April, news came from Beijing that Li Dazhao and others who were arrested by the Anguo military government were hanged.
In early May, Xia Douyin, who was stationed in Yichang, Hubei Province, launched an attack and led a division eastward in an attempt to overthrow the Wuhan government, but was fortunately repelled.
In late Wuyue, a major event occurred in Changsha.
The workers' picket team arrested an evil gentry who was ruthless for getting rich and tortured him severely.
Unexpectedly, this man was the father of He Jian, the commander of Tang Shengzhi's army.
How could he not avenge his father's deception?
, He Jian He ordered his subordinate Xu Kexiang to lead troops to attack the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, rescued his father and a large number of imprisoned gentry, and massacred trade unionists.
Because the rhyme of the telegram on that day was "horse", the incident was called "horse day". incident".
Nanjing, at the foothills of Purple Mountain, has pleasant scenery with empty mountains and deep valleys.
Workers are sweating profusely on the mountain platform.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Zikun stood side by side, pointing to the prototype of the main hall in the distance and saying: "When this place is built, Beijing will almost take it."
"Come on, let's bring the Prime Minister's body together and bury it here according to his last wishes."
Chen Zikun said: "Relaxing green cypresses and vast forests are indeed a good place.
When the revolution is successful, I also want to find a place to retreat to the mountains and forests and not care about the world."
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Zi Kun is wrong.
There is a lot of revolutionary work waiting for you to do.
You have worked hard during this period, and I will not treat you badly."
Chen Zikun said: "There is nothing wrong with making some personal sacrifices for the revolution."
After Chen Zikun withdrew from Jiangdong two months ago, he was stopped by Chiang Kai-shek before he could mobilize his troops to fight back.

Since the main force of the Jiangdong Army was on the Xuzhou front, a hasty retreat would inevitably leave the front empty.
If Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to attack, the cause of the Northern Expedition would definitely be affected. , so Chiang Kai-shek Shi Li persuaded Chen Zikun to be patient, and promised to bear all the Jiangdong Army's logistics, food, military equipment, and military expenses.
He also gave Chen Zikun a house in Nanjing to settle down.
Chen Zikun had no intention of returning to the army immediately, so he made enough money just by showing off.
That’s all.
"To fight against foreign forces, we must first stabilize our country.
Without a unified National Government and a unified National Revolutionary Army, there is no way to continue the Northern Expedition.
Therefore, we must first capture Wuhan before we can proceed with the Northern Expedition.
Zikun, I will go there in a few days.
Xuzhou meets with Feng Yuxiang, please come with me to meet your old friend."
Chiang Kai-shek issued a sincere invitation.
Chen Zikun readily agreed
