At noon on July 8, 1917, Zhou Chaowu electrified the whole country in the occupied capital

Shanghai Huajie, declare independence!

The Metropolitan Mansion was changed to the Shanghai Overseer's Office! Zhou Chaowu was appointed as the Shanghai Overseer!

At the same time, in response to the Protector Military Government, change the blue sky and white sun flag!

And in the name of the Protector Army, a recruitment notice was posted in the city!

All young adults who are strong and strong and aged 22-30 years old can sign up enthusiastically!

Recruit a full weaver!

The salary is not as high as that of the pro-guard regiment, only twelve oceans!

But it's also two oceans more than recruiting troops from outside!

It is still attractive to some coolie migrant workers.

Moreover, these coolie migrant workers, although they do not understand the Three People's Principles, understand Sun Wen's concept of wanting the toiling masses to live a good life and make the Republic of China a powerful country, and they respect Sun Wen very much.

Their generation, more than the previous generation, has more important things!

That's patriotism!

Therefore, countless people came to the recruiting office on the outskirts of Huajie to sign up!

After the quota was filled, the recruiting office also punished those who failed to join the army as they wished.

However, young and middle-aged people who were interested in contributing to the revolutionary army were registered.

I can use it when I expand the army again in the future!

This military expansion measure is a compromise made by Zhou Chaowu to deal with the situation.

Originally, he

had the concept of governing the army under the current conditions, and he wanted to strictly train a division of kings with perfect arms, excellent combat qualities, and invincibility

Start with the foundation and start cultivating according to perfectionism.

The plan was to start doing all this after the occupation of Shanghai.

But time is running out.

The current situation does not allow Zhou Chaowu to do this!

A great man once said, first solve the problem of whether there is or not.

Then solve the problem of whether it is good or not.

With his current team of less than 2,000 people, it will be difficult to resist under the counterattack of the Anhui warlords in the future!

Don't look at the fact that the pro-guard regiment has less than 2,000 people, and nearly 10,000 people in the Zhejiang army have been annihilated!

These are all ambush battles!

This can only be done by realizing the arranged positions, as well as the superiority of artillery!

Head-on confrontation, even this so-called elite, the enemies that can be fought are limited!

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the army in time!

We must first hold our territory before we can implement the military reform that Zhou Chaowu wanted!

Therefore, Zhou Chaowu is ready to pull up a division-level force first, and hand it over to his subordinates for training as soon as possible, at least he can use guns and cannons, and he will obey orders!

A total of 12,000 people are enrolled!

In terms of armaments, Zhou Chaowu spent another 2.8 million yuan from the system to buy the armaments of a German and full division of armaments.

Although it is not as good as the configuration of the pro-guard group, it can be regarded as very good among the warlords of the various factions.

This can be seen from the performance of the Guangdong army when it saw that batch of munitions.

After Zhou Chaowu eliminated Lu Yongxiang, he copied the Dutong Mansion, and he also made a windfall!

The public funds of the Zhejiang Army, together with Lu Yongxiang's private funds, allowed him to earn 15 million oceans!

So that he doesn't have to worry about military spending at all!

After spending 2.8 million oceans to buy arms from the system, there are still 17.7 million oceans left!

On July 12, 1917, the recruiting office announced that it was full.

Zhou Chaowu gave an order.

The former Guards Regiment was renamed the 1st Mixed Regiment!

The sanitary platoon, communications platoon, and armored platoon of the system are all subordinate to this mixed regiment.

He Ruibing served as the head of the regiment.

In the future, it will definitely develop towards the size of the legion.

The 12,000 newly recruited men were reorganized into the Second Division!

The junior officers of the former Guards Regiment, company commanders, platoon commanders and others led the ranks of the Second Division to conduct simple physical fitness and gun training.

Zhou Chaowu personally served as the acting commander of the Second Division!

July 24, 1917.

The Protector Army officially launched the Northern Expedition.

Guijun Lu Rongting led his troops into Hunan.

Tang Jiyao of the Yunnan army led his troops to advance into Hubei.

Deng Qiang led the Second Division of the Guangdong Army, along with other local forces, to temporarily form an army to aid Fujian and advance into Fujian.

The war between the North and the South is imminent!

Duan Qirui sent his henchman, former deputy army minister, Fu Liangzuo, to the Hunan and Hubei positions, served as a patrol envoy of the two provinces, and led the elite of the Anhui system to fight fiercely with the Gui and Yunnan systems.

A month later, on August 29.

Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao both secretly communicated with Fu Liangzuo, claiming that if Hunan and Hubei were divided into half provinces, they would be allowed to sell tobacco grown in Yunnan and Guangxi.

Willing to withdraw from the border between southern and northern Xiangnan!

The warlords of the Gui and Yunnan factions relied almost exclusively on opium cultivation as their financial sources, accounting for more than 40% of the total local income

Thinking about his previous life, later the bald principal even issued a law stipulating that opium cultivation is not allowed nationwide, and only he can let people grow it!

From this, it can be seen that there is a huge profit from the sale of tobacco and soil!

After several discussions, Fu Liangzuo agreed to the request and negotiated that one-third of the proceeds from opium should be handed over to the Anhui government

August 30th.

Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting, who had not been able to run for generalissimo and were dissatisfied with Sun Wen, successively sent statements.

The civil war between the north and the south was the self-consumption of the country's national defense forces, so it withdrew from the Hunan army border.

Call on people from other regions to cease fire as well.

This blatant betrayal made Sun Wen realize that this Dharma protection movement was probably going to fail!

Only then did he see clearly that these powerful factions in the southwest, called Dharma Protectors, were actually fighting for their own interests!

If we want to truly realize the revolution and save the country, we cannot rely on the warlords, but we need a revolutionary army that is completely loyal to the revolution!

Night.

Sun Wen issued a ceasefire order to the Guangdong army aiding Fujian.

At the same time, electrify the whole country and go to the field!

At this point, the Dharma Protection Movement has failed!
