Chapter 101 Cooperation
After Ma Deshang's sincere telegram was sent, the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government and the Beiyang Government soon responded to the telegram.

The Guangzhou Revolutionary Government was a telegram drafted by Mr. Sun Yat-sen himself. First, he highly praised Ma Deshang's behavior in the name of the country. This idea was similar to their Three People's Principles, and he wanted Ma Deshang to join their revolutionary government.

The Beiyang government is more straightforward. They will reply as Ma Deshang sends it.

First of all, they said that this was a problem of their lax management, and decided to re-appoint new Jiangsu and Zhejiang warlords, and even the Songhu guards would choose other talents.

When Ma Deshang saw these two telegrams, he smiled. I'm so humble, you really arranged for me to have new officials, aren't you afraid that they will come and go?

Well, there is no need to choose now, it seems that the Beiyang government really doesn't like me as a hooligan.

Originally, Ma Deshang still didn't want to be too deliberate, just like when treacherous officials usurped the throne in ancient times, they had to be humble, so as to make their food look better, Ma Deshang also had the same idea, but now it seems that it can't be done.

The Beiyang government can't understand it at all.

"Ah Ding, you take people to Guangzhou overnight, and discuss our conditions with the revolutionary government. By the way, remember to take Wu Qiang with you, and let Wu Qiang stay in Guangzhou to take care of things there."

Ma Deshang immediately started to arrange.

"Yes, Brother Sheng."

A Ding is no longer the stinky foot that used to be able to pull carts and perform magic tricks on the street. He has been abroad for many years and has been exercising for a long time when he comes back. He is a more reliable choice.

After Adin left, Ma Deshang began to think seriously.

Now Jiangsu and Zhejiang are both in my hands, with [-] soldiers. Although most of them are surrendered soldiers, the number of [-] alone is quite scary.

However, a large territory also has its disadvantages. Then there are management issues. In another 13 years, the "Songhu Battle" will break out, and Ma Deshang has no time to manage the two provinces well.

The larger the territory, the larger the population, and the greater the potential for war.

But Ma Deshang was angry in his heart, why China's army of one million could not defeat Japan's 20.

Now that I have such an opportunity and I have given myself so much time, with my own efforts, can the 20 Chinese army defeat the 20 Japanese army!
Historical experience tells Ma Deshang that when facing a military power like Japan, the crowd tactics are useless at all. It must be equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and of course the fighting will of both sides.

With this in mind, Ma Deshang set himself the ultimate goal. In the next 13 years, he will use all his strength to cultivate a 20 troops, and fight Japan on the land of Shanghai.

After walking out of the conference room, Ma Deshang came to the villa garden, followed by four secretaries and the Thirteen Taibao who had just returned.

The open outdoors and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air made Ma Deshang's thoughts clearer.

"Send a telegram to Chen Changdong of the Third Division. Now that the situation has been settled, let them notify the various governments in Shanghai to start operations. It must not affect the lives of citizens."

"In addition, the government officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been given instructions simultaneously, telling them that those who are willing to continue serving the people can continue to work from today, and those who are unwilling and have committed no heinous crimes can restore their freedom."

Ma Deshang said slowly.

"Yes."

A secretary on the left first picked up the notebook in his hand and wrote it down, then turned and left.

Regarding the false defeat of the Zhejiang army to attract Qi Xieyuan to be fooled, and the final defeat and capture of Qi Xieyuan alive, these are all Ding Cao's handwriting.

In fact, this matter has been prepared for a long time. Those officers who were willing to rebel were either instigated by Ding Cao or inserted by Ding Cao'an, which led to this success.

The telegram sent back by Ding Cao was also very detailed. Basically, all parts of Jiangsu surrendered voluntarily, and there were few resistances. It was just that in the telegram he mentioned a danger now, that is, their name is not right now. Recognized by the Beiyang government or the revolutionary government.

The common people are more supportive because they hate military disasters, but those local tyrants are all watching secretly, and they will resist if they have the opportunity.

Whether it is to fall into the arms of the revolutionary government or the arms of the Beiyang government must be decided as soon as possible, and changes will happen later.

Why didn't Ma Deshang know this in his heart? There was nothing to worry about in Shanghai, but there were some problems in other places in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province.

If he directly declared that he ruled the two provinces, it is estimated that there will be rebellion soon.

Now we have to wait for the progress of Ading's negotiations with the revolutionary government in Guangzhou. As for the Beiyang government, let them go.

Ten days after the entire incident had passed.

The attitude of the Beiyang government has undergone a 360-degree change. It publicly accused Ma Deshang of destroying national unity in telegrams and newspapers every day.

The Beiyang government in the neighboring provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has already begun to dispatch troops and prepare to suppress it by force.

When Ma Deshang saw these brash manipulations by the Beiyang government, he wanted to ignore them, but if they were allowed to talk like this, the fakes could also come true.

So in the past few days, there has been a war of abuse between the two sides on the telegram and in major newspapers.

If you say something, I will reply. If you accuse me of undermining national unity, I will say that you are a warlord and the country has no future. I call on the people of the whole country to overthrow the warlord rule.

This kind of scolding war did not end until the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government issued a telegram.

In the telegram, the revolutionary government in Guangzhou declared that Ma Deshang was a national hero who ended the disastrous Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, and appointed Ma Deshang as a senior official of Zhejiang Province and mayor of Shanghai.

This is what Ading negotiated with the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. He gave up Jiangsu Province in exchange for the support of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. Now he is a legitimate head of Zhejiang.

After receiving the telegram from the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government, Ma Deshang immediately responded by telegram accepting it, and issued a joint statement with the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government.

Naturally, the Beiyang government was very angry, and wanted to organize troops to attack Ma Deshan, but the Beiyang government blamed each other, and in the end they could only let it go.

This also made the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government think that the Beiyang Government is a paper tiger and is preparing to prepare for the Northern Expedition!
Now these are not the most important things to Ma Deshang. He is now officially taking over Zhejiang and Shanghai, and more things will follow.

The first is to cooperate with the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government to take over Jiangsu Province. Although Ma Deshang did not want Jiangsu Province, Ma Deshang reorganized the 1 Soviet troops that surrendered, selected the most elite [-] people, and handed over the rest. For those who come to accept the Guangzhou government.

Ma Deshang is also very familiar with this person, that is Gu Yushan. He is now a special commissioner of the revolutionary government to explain to Ma Deshang about Jiangsu.

The place where the two met was the Lu Mansion in the French Concession in Shanghai.

"Brother Yunsheng, we met in the French Concession in Shanghai ten years ago. I never thought that we would meet in this way ten years later."

Gu Yushan was in charge of intelligence work in the revolutionary government. Ma Deshang had a record with him half a month ago, but he was also a gangster tycoon in Shanghai, so he didn't need too much attention.

But half a month later, Ma Deshan became the ruler of a province. The change was a bit fast. This time the revolutionary government arranged for him to connect with Ma Deshan. It is clear how Ma Deshang completed this step.

"Brother Gu, I was actually forced to do this. If the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War continues, we ordinary people will suffer the most. I didn't expect it to succeed."

Ma Deshang also guessed the purpose of Gu Yushan's visit. Although he was not afraid that they would find out, it would definitely be quite embarrassing for them to find out quickly.

"Brother Yunsheng, I am here this time to congratulate you on becoming a high-ranking official in Zhejiang and the mayor of Shanghai, secondly, to explain matters concerning Jiangsu Province to you, and thirdly, to represent the revolutionary government and discuss matters related to the Northern Expedition."

Gu Yushan did not continue to talk to Ma Deshang, but immediately spoke.

"First of all, thank you Brother Gu for your congratulations. I don't think there is anything to congratulate on this, but the responsibility on my shoulders is much heavier."

Madeshan shook his head and said.

This is not because of Ma Deshang's modesty. Didn't he plan for ten years to be able to resist the Japanese attack, protect Shanghai, and prevent the situation of the [-] strong men in the Sixing Warehouse from happening again?

"I have arranged for Ding Cao to handle the matter in Jiangsu Province. I think the two of you should have a lot in common now."

Both of them are engaged in intelligence assassination, so let them compete. Ding Cao has ten years of relevant work experience, and he also has local advantages, so there will be a wonderful duel.

"I have seen Ding Cao's methods before, and I believe it will be easier to hand over to him, but regarding the Northern Expedition, what do you think, brother Yun Sheng?"

Gu Yushan received the order from above, and the revolutionary army will soon prepare for the Northern Expedition. At this time, Ma Deshang's attitude is very important.

"Northern Expedition, I naturally support it, but you also know that Zhejiang and Shanghai are in a state of waste, and they have just gone through a big war. It is estimated that they will not have the strength to send troops in a short time, but in terms of military expenses and equipment, I can do it here." Support some."

Ma Deshang frowned and said.

After hearing that Ma Deshang had no intention of sending troops, Gu Yushan looked somewhat disappointed. He originally thought that Ma Deshang would send troops together, so that the Northern Expedition would be more likely to succeed, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible for Ma Deshang to send troops.

But when he heard that Ma Deshan was willing to support military expenditures and weapons and equipment, his eyes lit up again.
