Chapter 2717 2719【No country living in chaos】
"Yanxi, what are you going to do next?" Jin Quan asked with concern.
"For Xiuzhu's sake, Bai Xiongqi won't deal with me now, but it doesn't mean he won't in the future." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "I must be prepared to break with him, and I must not let him take us dragged to death."
Jin Quan nodded.
He knows that power can corrupt people's hearts the most, especially for an ambitious person like Bai Xiongqi, whose heart has long been controlled by the desire for power.
For him, father and mother are not as good as power relatives. Although he is Bai Xiuzhu's elder brother, when he continues to degenerate, even his sister can be sacrificed.
At that time, it is time for the Jin family and the Bai family to break up.
"Then you have to prepare well. Bai Xiongqi is scheming, fierce and cunning. To fight him, you must have a hundred and twenty minds." Jin Quan instructed.
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In the spring of 2026, Xiang Nan released a new song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" on "Peking University Daily".
"The smoke rises from the rivers and mountains and looks north
Dragon Banner Rolling Horse Neighing Sword Qi Like Frost
My heart is like the water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years
…
Horseshoe goes south, people look north
People look north to the green grass and yellow dust
I would like to defend the land and restore the frontiers
The dignified China will let the Quartet come to congratulate”
After it was released, it immediately won people's love with its shocking melody, sad and majestic atmosphere, magnificent momentum, and sad, indignant and desolate tone, and then spread rapidly.
This song was originally about Yue Fei’s fight against the Jin Dynasty, but it coincided with the actions of the southern government’s Northern Expedition.
So in the summer of 2006, during the Northern Expedition of the New Party Army, the song "Serving the Country with Allegiance" was almost officially designated as a military song to boost morale.
Inspired by this song, countless men joined the army, hoping to overthrow the warlords, unify the country, expel the great powers as soon as possible, and return our country.
As the Northern Expedition marched north and became invincible, this song became more and more popular, and became more and more popular. It was much more popular than "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" released the year before and "Yijianmei" released last year.
Xiang Nan's reputation has also risen to a higher level because of this.
…
In the autumn of 2026, the Northern Expedition started in full swing.
At that time, the Northern Expedition had a total of 100,000 troops, but the three major warlords it had to face each had 200,000 to 300,000 people, so the difference in numbers was quite large.
As for equipment, the gap is even bigger. The three major warlords at that time had very advanced equipment. There are planes and cannons, but the equipment of the Northern Expedition is not as good.
So when the Northern Expeditionary Army first started marching, Jin Quan said to Xiang Nan, "The Northern Expeditionary Army is weak and poorly equipped. If they march blindly, they will definitely be defeated."
"Father, my son doesn't agree with your point of view." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I think the Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely win a big victory, and they will fight all the way to the capital."
"Oh, you seem to have a good impression of the Southern New Party." Jin Quan was taken aback and said with a smile.
Xiang Nan waved his hand, "You're wrong. I don't have a good opinion of the Southern New Party, but it has improved compared to the Northern Warlords.
The new party does not have this disadvantage at present, and is still very united. And when the fists are combined, the power to hit someone is the greatest.
Besides, the people of the world have suffered from the warlords for a long time, and the Beiyang warlords have been fighting for years, causing mourning everywhere, people dying, people living in dire straits, and the country failing to become a country. It has long lost the support of the people.
In comparison, the New Party is now in the Northern Expedition, but it has won the hearts of the people. Therefore, I conclude that the Northern Expedition will definitely win. "
"You are young, so you don't know anything about military affairs. Let's just watch." After hearing this, Jin Quan smiled, "Military and political affairs are not as simple as you think."
Xiang Nan also smiled, "Father, why don't we make a bet."
"What are you betting on?" Jin Quan asked suspiciously.
"If the Northern Expedition really hits the capital, our Jin family may be hopeless. At that time, I hope that our Jin family will go abroad together." Xiang Nan suggested.
"Going abroad?!" Jin Quan was taken aback.
"Yes, the sage said: Don't enter a dangerous country, and don't live in a chaotic country." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Before you were the prime minister, but now with Bai Xiongqi, our Jin family still has a peaceful life.
Once the new party really attacks, Bai Xiongqi will surely collapse. At that time, who will protect our Jin family? It is better to immigrate to a foreign country to escape the disaster of war. "
Jin Quan thought about it, and he also thought it made sense.
Although my son is now known as the [Youth Poetic Soul] and is admired by thousands of people, he is only a scholar after all, and his ability is actually limited.
He can only create public opinion in order to exert pressure and achieve his own goals. But if people don't care about public opinion, then he can only do useless work.
It’s like Confucius in those days, who had three thousand disciples and was famous all over the world. He traveled around the world to promote his Confucianism, but he was not reused by any king, and he almost starved to death on the road.
So once the new party really overthrows Yenching, the former Beiyang government is bound to collapse, and Bai Xiongqi is bound to lose the position of prime minister. At that time, the Jin family will also lose the shelter of power.
At that time, the Jin family will be no different from a child holding gold in the downtown area, and anyone will want to come up and take a bite. After all, one year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver.
The Jin family has been an official since their ancestors, and the lowest is the second rank. It is conceivable how much wealth they have accumulated. According to Xiang Nan's estimate, there are still two to three million oceans. In troubled times, this money is the root of trouble.
…
In the second half of the year, the situation was as expected by Xiang Nan.
The Northern Expeditionary Army overcame thorns and thorns all the way. At the beginning of July, the Northern Expedition was formally launched, and by the end of the month, southern Shonan had been conquered.
In August, the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the main force of the Zhili Warlords through the two dangerous passes of Kedingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge.
October, the Northern Expedition Army occupied Hankou and Wuchang, and the main force of the Zhili Warlords was completely wiped out, completely losing the chance of a comeback.
In November, the Northern Expedition army invaded Ganzhou, and then marched into Minzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was invincible.
Seeing this, the Zhili had no choice but to bow to the Fengli in order to resist the Northern Expedition, which surprised even Jin Quan.
You must know that the year before last, it was the Feng faction that defeated the Zhi line, occupied Yanjing City, and overthrew the original Beiyang government. Now the Zhili is begging for mercy from the Fengli, intending to make peace, it really doesn't want any face.
"Yanxi, it seems that what you said is true, the direct relationship is really dead." Jin Quandu sighed.
"Father, I have said before that the Beiyang warlords are a mess, fighting each other, and they all want to see each other die. That's why the Northern Expedition Army seized the opportunity and defeated each other.
Now that the Northern Expedition has gained momentum, it is too late for them to think about cooperating at this time. "Xiang Nan said.
Jin Quan nodded.
If you just start, you can unite directly, eliminate conflicts, and unify the outside world, and you still have a great chance of winning.
But now the Northern Expeditionary Army has conquered southern Hunan, northern Hunan, Minzhou, Ganzhou and other places. In addition to the original two provinces of eastern Guangdong and western Guangdong, the eleven southern provinces have accounted for more than half, and morale has risen.
Yuzhou and Jizhou were the places where the Four Wars were fought, and there was no danger to defend. At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army could take advantage of the trend and attack unimpeded, all the way to Yanjing City.
So, it’s really over now.
