My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately asked Jiang Youchi's intelligence team to organize the intelligence from all over Guangxi.

Speaking of this intelligence group, Jiang Li spent a lot of money to set it up over the years. It can't be said that it knows everything in the world, but it has a very clear understanding of Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places connected to Guangdong.

So after his order was given, the intelligence team immediately started working and quickly handed over a stack of intelligence.

After Jiang Lijie came over, he began to investigate carefully. He found out that Guangxi was mainly ruled by the New Guangxi warlords, led by Li Renzong and Bai Xichong. Although Lu Yanrong of the Old Guangxi warlord was squeezed in the middle, he was not completely powerless.

Moreover, apart from Li Renzong and Bai Xichong, the other smaller New Guangxi warlords were not of one mind and often had frictions with each other.

However, due to the threat from Lu Yanrong and his gang of younger brothers, their friction is still controllable and generally does not cause too much impact.

Therefore, if he could let them kill each other, or cause internal chaos first, then he would have a great chance to take over the entire Guangxi in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued the two orders, and the personnel of the intelligence organization quickly began to act, looking for opportunities to sow discord between the parties.

On the other hand, arrange personnel to carry out the assassination mission. Of course, these two things have priorities. First, provoke the enemy. If provocation fails, then carry out the assassination.

Jiang Li also quickly began to mobilize troops. He had spent a lot of effort on the army in the past two years. Not only did he have 210,000 light infantry, he also formed an artillery unit of 20,000, as well as 10,000 navy and 10,000 cavalry, plus 30,000 mechanized heavy troops.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was William’s intentional act, but he didn’t get many planes and tanks. Currently, there is only one airport, three bombers, and six early light tanks.

Moreover, the tanks at that time had low protection performance, small caliber artillery, and low mobility. They were not very useful in mountainous areas such as Guangxi and Guizhou.

But Jiang Li did not stop purchasing these light tanks, because he knew how important these things would be in the upcoming war, so he deliberately emphasized the purchase of a large number of tanks in the purchase list he just gave to Asan.

After finishing the work at hand, Jiang Li returned home to visit his wife and children.

Speaking of the past four or five years, sisters Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu have given birth to four sons and three daughters for him. He is now quite satisfied.

Moreover, as the two women's Yin-Yang Hehuan Art became more and more proficient and sophisticated, not only did their magic power become stronger and stronger, but their physical strength also became stronger and stronger with the help of the Essence Pill.

This allowed him to release the pent-up energy in his body and the frustration in his heart every time he returned home.

It was also because of this that every time he left home, in addition to a slight increase in his magic power, he could also feel that his bones had become two taels lighter. As for whether the two women had gained fifty grams more, that was difficult to calculate.

After staying at home for two days, he went out again. This time it was because the intelligence team brought news that the conflict between the New Guangxi warlords and the Old Guangxi warlords seemed to have further escalated, and there seemed to be signs of a fight.

After receiving such good news, he could no longer stay in the gentle countryside and immediately went to the command center in Qingshui County. Yes, he placed the command center in Qinghe County, not Guangzhou.

Because Guangzhou's geographical location is too remote, if he wants to attack Guangxi, he will have to travel hundreds of miles just to send troops, which will take a lot of time.

Therefore, he established a temporary capital in Qinghe County, which is relatively close to Guangxi and closer to the industrial center, which has many advantages.

When he arrived at the command center, he saw quite a few people already standing inside.

He came to the main seat and sat down, "Tell me, what's the situation now?"

"Reporting to the commander, Lu Yanrong was born in the countryside, and the military discipline of his troops was very poor. Some time ago, because their high-ranking officers embezzled military pay, some of the lower-level soldiers lost their motivation and mutinied."

"They also knew that they would be liquidated, so after looting a wave, they ran to Li Renzong's territory."

"As a result, the corrupt official was afraid of being held accountable, so he decided to go all out and led his troops to chase after them, hoping to kill all of them and eliminate the trouble."

"But before they could deal with the deserters, the bandits turned bandit-like and plundered several villages and towns in Li Renzong's territory, killing many people."

"Now Li Renzong is demanding that Lu Yanrong hand over the murderer, but for some reason, Lu Yanrong neither admits the incident nor is willing to hand over the murderer, so the two sides are already in a standoff and could fight at any time!"

After hearing this, Jiang Li immediately understood the whole story. This matter was not big or small. If he wanted things to develop in the direction he wanted, he would need to add fuel to the fire.

So he immediately found Jiang Youchi, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left.

After Jiang Youchi left, Jiang Li discussed with everyone present how they should respond and how to mobilize the army if they started fighting.

The discussion lasted for several hours, and when it was over, they dispersed and went to prepare for a possible war.

Five days after the meeting, Jiang Li received the news that Lu Yanrong and Li Renzong had a fight.

It turned out that both of these guys were assassinated. Although they were injured, they were not dead.

They thought about who else could have arranged this assassination, and it was naturally the guy who was confronting them, so the two sides immediately started fighting.

As for who arranged the two assassinations, Jiang Li and Jiang Youchi naturally had no idea, but they didn't want to pursue the matter at all. As long as the results were in their favor, it was fine.

Originally, this was just a fight between Lu Yanrong and Li Renzong, but after a series of operations by Jiang Youchi, the war escalated into a large-scale melee between the new and old Guangxi warlords.

As the battle became more intense, they each pulled up their own group of less-than-united younger brothers to help, as if they were determined to decide the outcome in one battle.

Upon learning that the new and old Guangxi warlords had started fighting, Jiang Li began to secretly mobilize his troops. When their battle became stalemate, he was already fully prepared and only needed to wait for the winner to be decided so that he could reap the benefits.

However, things did not go so smoothly. After they fought for another three months, they began to discover some problems. After repeated negotiations, they finally chose to cease fire.

Jiang Li was very disappointed to see that no party was killed. In desperation, he did not care about anything else and directly sent troops to quickly attack the territory of the New Guangxi warlords.
