Chapter 55: Jinling City has been breached, Wang Feng should also leave

This is a lively and peculiar entrance ceremony, which didn't end until almost noon.
Wang Feng has openly hung up the plaque of the Iron Blood Military Government Commander in the former Liangjiang Governor's Office, and there are posters with his name posted all over the city.
Meanwhile, with the support of the Southern Army and the Garrison Army, Xu Minghao has hung up the temporary government commander sign in Xiaoying, creating a situation of two commanders in Jinling City.
Regarding this, Wang Feng is not angry but explains that he is in charge of military affairs, while Xu Minghao is in charge of civilian affairs.
Whenever it comes to matters involving money, he always pushes it to Xu Minghao, and even beautifies it as a separation of military and civilian affairs. You should know that he only left Xu Minghao with a mere 200,000 taels of silver, and colluded with Zhang Renjun to modify all the account books, leaving no trace for investigation.
He was just busy expanding the army, strengthening training, and assimilating the guerrilla forces from all over the Jiangbei province. Occasionally, he would also socialize with local celebrities and gentry.
While representatives from the ten provinces gathered in Shenhai, only General Wang remained unperturbed here. When asked about it, he simply stated that he was a simple military man, only concerned with fighting and not politics.
Additionally, the military equipment of the Jiangfang Army, the military reserves of Jinling City, and the various 6 military academies in Jinling City are all in his hands, and there is no intention to share them.
Within ten days, his Iron Blood Army has been officially expanded into the First Division of the 6th Army, which is under the command of two regiments and four infantry regiments. In addition, it also includes an instructional regiment, an artillery regiment, a logistics regiment, an engineering regiment, and a cavalry regiment. Each regiment is equivalent to a mixed regiment, comprising ten battalions (including six infantry battalions, as well as artillery, engineering, cavalry, and machine gun battalions).
The weapons of the entire Jinling City are almost concentrated in his regiment, and the number of military personnel suddenly swelled to over 19,000.
With the intention of making a fortune, the garrison and the southern army are still as few as they were when they entered the city, and they are still as few now!
Xu Minghao's Governor seems a bit lacking in confidence.
The recapture of Jinling also forced the court to swallow its last breath.
In the newspapers published by the English in the north, editorials have been published stating that the recapture of Jinling signifies the true formation of a north-south confrontation, and the existence of the court has become a complete joke.
The peace talks between the Northern Power Faction and the Southern Democratic Party are underway.
The accompanying photos often show Mr. Sun waving on a boat and Mr. Wang saluting while riding a horse.
At this time, under the leadership of Hu Hansan in the city of Jinling, representatives from the eighteen provinces and roads that had been restored or declared independence arrived in the city of Jinling to begin preparations for an interim government.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sun from Shang, Mr. Song, and Mr. Huang Ke-gong engaged in fierce debates over the organizational form of the interim government.
Mr. Song strongly advocated for a responsible cabinet system, while Mr. Sun firmly decided on a centralized system under his assertive demand. The organizational form was eventually settled!
During the preparatory meeting of the provincial representatives in the city of Nanjing, three principles were discussed and decided upon:
    Formation of an interim government and election of an interim supreme commander, with each province having one vote. Adoption of the Gregorian calendar. Engagement in negotiations with Yuan Shuren in the north.

The situation in the South showed signs of improvement as Jinling City was liberated.
When your army expands to twenty thousand troops, what is most lacking? Undoubtedly, it is officers!
At that time, Jinling City could be described with one word: "chaotic".
Under the organization of members of the Alliance, the armies of various states rushed to support. These include the Guangdong Eastern Army, the Guixi Army, and various militia brave corps and vanguard teams.
They did not join the Battle of Liberating Nanjing, yet they all consider themselves as heroes of the liberation. Within the city of Nanjing, these scattered groups have reached nearly one hundred thousand.
Wang Feng ignores the provisions for these people and does not care about others' evaluations or opinions of him.
His mind has been focused on two things these days, one of which is to establish the First Division Camp School of the 6th Army. By using the teachers from the former 4th Middle School of the 6th Army as the backbone, it gathers the teaching power from the Weapons and Equipment School, the Measurement School, the 6th Army Elementary School, and so on.
Rectify into a sizable cultivation institution. Draw officers from the army and conduct a six-month training program as the first step.
Wang Feng is not unaware of the complex composition of his unit. What he is most concerned about right now is how to consolidate the unit and make it completely serve him. He always has the shadow of the Alliance Society looming above him. Training officers is just the first step in his plan.
The second thing is to organize the Northward Expeditionary Force, preparing to continue the Northern Expedition and completely crush the remaining forces of Zhang Da's rebellion in Northern Jiangsu.
In Northern Jiangsu, there are two intersecting main railway lines and also the salt-producing areas in the canal and northern Huai River, which must not be abandoned.
Moreover, the Suhu Road is also the gateway to the city of Jinling. To establish a solid foundation in the Suhu Road is to ensure that in the future, he can truly seize the entire Huaizhou.
On this day, Zhang Jizhi quietly arrived in Jinling City to visit Wang Feng, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"General Wang, this is the operating report of Iron Blood Bank for the month of January, please review."
Wang Feng did not take the report, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, you are my senior, why be so polite to a junior like me? Once the interim government is established, it has already been rumored that you will be appointed as the Minister of Industry! Now I feel anxious and uneasy for making you work at the bank on my behalf!"
Zhang Jizhi stroked his graying beard and looked at Wang Feng with a smile. Those in the outside world were surprised to see someone of his age and influence willing to serve as Wang Feng's aide.
He felt that he hadn't made a wrong move. The entire southeast is under the control of the Party's armed forces.
These constitutionalists, on the other hand, are empty-handed. Although he has retreated behind the scenes, Wang Feng now commands 20,000 elite soldiers and is also at odds with the Alliance.
He believes that this armed group can have a certain influence, and in the changing situation of this era, with the armed forces, political groups have a foundation!
Another reason is a bit difficult to explain to outsiders. He has been running businesses for so many years, but recently he has been struggling. His own business in Nantong is losing money.
He has always been accustomed to showy scenes. Wang Feng offered him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, which is a great subsidy for him now.
He also secretly admires Wang Feng's ability to make money. When he attacked Jingling, he not only did not get money from the bank, but also remitted more than two million silver dollars after taking down Jingling City. As the chairman of the bank, he is now enjoying himself.
He put down the report and smiled, saying, "No need to look at it. After all, Iron Blood Bank is thriving and making a lot of money. Chen Yingshi has rejected the military notes, bonds, and market exchange in Shenhai, all using our bank's currency. Even if Commander, your portrait is printed on the silver yuan, it is now discounted to one and a half foreign dollars. We don't need to worry about money for a while!"
Speaking of which, he changed the topic again: "Once we entered the city of Jinling, we saw scattered soldiers and adventurers everywhere. However, the commander's troops were well-dressed and well-equipped. When those troops saw the commander's patrol team, they were in awe! In the city of Jinling, the First Division has the highest prestige, right?"
Wang Feng grinned and said, "What's the use of high prestige? My brothers are constantly blaming me. I'll wait for the completion of the Northern Expedition support team and head to Xuzhou to fight against Zhang Dabianzi, that rebellious dog. This chaotic place of Jinling City, who knows how many troubles we'll face in the future. Whoever wants it, can have it! I might as well abdicate and let others take charge."
Zhang Jizhi groaned for a moment and glanced at Wang Feng's expression.
Finally, he said, "General Wang, now that you have reached this position, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can live a peaceful life by retiring and becoming a wealthy man..."
Wang Feng nodded: "There are plenty of people who are willing to risk their lives for their brothers."
Zhang Ji smiled slightly: "Nowadays, we can only move forward and not retreat. If the General still values war more than his reputation, I'm afraid it's not worth it, General! This Hui Party only brings harm and no benefit in the name of the General. The strength they have is the result of the General's hard work."
"There is absolutely no advantage for the Allied League. When they ask for something, will the general give it or not? Of course, this is not about the general being hostile to the Allied League, but currently, the membership of this party is mixed, and since the restoration, there are even people profiting by selling Allied League membership cards! A person who maintains personal integrity should keep their distance from them. This old one thinks that the division of this party is imminent!"
"Why doesn't the general establish his own banner and align with a more promising political organization? The party can offer support, but it cannot be relied upon!"
"At this point, Zhang Jizhi is trying to win over Wang Feng."
Wang Feng also knows that they are in Jiangsu, where many constitutionalist figures are in this party. If they have Wang Feng's troops, they will become their military foundation, and the political map of the early Republic of China would not be complete without their contribution.
Wang Feng remained silent for a while before saying lightly, "Senior Ji, the current situation is complex and overwhelming. I am deeply troubled! There are certain matters that I cannot decide too early."
Zhang Ji, who was also an experienced figure in the martial arts world, remained calm and composed. He smiled and said, "Good! The old man came here to spend a few days with the General. We can discuss things slowly!"
