The charity sale was held for three days and was extremely popular every day. The works he bought were sold at a high price. In the end, a painting by Wu Changshuo was sold at a high price of 52,000 silver dollars, and the other two works were sold at a high price of more than 20,000 silver dollars.

The lyrics [Qinyuan Chunxue] written by Wang Lezhi were also sold at a high price of 18,000 silver dollars. It ranked 12th among the three-day shopping works, and 5th among the calligraphy works.

After the three-day charity sale, a total of 1.324 million yuan was raised. After deducting organizational costs, a total of 1.285 million yuan in anti-epidemic donations were raised. In this era, this is indeed a very high number. Of course, those who spend money think that the trip is worth it. After all, the value of spending money to buy these works of art cannot be measured by money.

Wang Lezhi was also very happy. First, he raised so many donations; second, he also made the Xileng Seal Society completely gain a reputation, killing two birds with one stone.

But on the same day, Wang Lezhi received shocking news that the Fengde court's army and the People's Army had a military conflict at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. The reason was that the Fengde army attempted to cross the border between the two sides and enter Zhejiang Province, but was blocked by the People's Army guards on the Zhejiang border. So the soldiers of the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire, which killed 16 soldiers of the People's Army.

This news really shocked Wang Lezhi. Of course, he knew that the south had started fighting again, and Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian had borders, which could be regarded as a border line. However, Wang Lezhi was not worried. After all, unless Yuan Shikai and the Fengde court went crazy, the war would burn on the East China Government. Then, knowing that the Fengde court had really taken the initiative to provoke the East China Government, were they really crazy!

It turned out that after the First Southern War, Japan sent a group of officers to the Fengde court and took over the army of the Fengde court. All officers at the regiment level and above were Japanese soldiers, and battalion-level officers were also held by Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Fengde court could only serve as deputy positions. The military organization, training, etc. were all responsible for the Japanese, and the officials of the Fengde court could not interfere at all.

The highest commander of the Fengde Army was Commander-in-Chief Yoshima Yamamoto, Deputy Commander Fukuda Masaki, and Chief of Staff Miura Weitaro were all under 40 years old. They were all young and strong in the Japanese Army. Sending three people to China was also a test for them. The three also knew that this was a test for them by the Japanese Army General Staff. Moreover, Fukuda Masaki and Miura Weitaro's military streets were all minors, and Yamamoto Yoshima's military streets were all juniors. In the Japanese Army, they only had a regiment commander at most, but in the Fengde court, the three could command about 100,000 troops, so this was also a rare opportunity.

Naturally, the three of them wanted to achieve some results, so after the Second Southern War began, the three of them were eager to try, hoping to fight a few beautiful battles in this war. So Yamamoto Yoshima immediately ordered to command the army to attack Shaowu Mansion.

It was known that the Yuan army had already built solid fortifications in various parts of Shaowu Prefecture and prepared a large number of artillery. Therefore, although there were not many defenders, they had strict defense and fierce firepower. The Feng German army was unable to break through the Yuan army's defense line for three days after attacking for three days. The losses were heavy, but the war was not progressed. Yamamoto Yoshima, Fukuda Masaki, and Miura Kentaro were also very uninterested.

At this moment, the Yuan army won consecutive victories on the Northern Line. The Deyou court urgently asked the Fengde court for help, demanding that the Fengde court put greater pressure on the Yuan army on the Southern Line and give more strong support to the Northern Line. At the same time, Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries also conducted emergency consultations, requiring the Fengde court to bear more responsibilities in the Second Southern War. Japan also promised to do its best. After all, the Yuan army did not have much troops left on the Southern Line. The East China government was dragged down by the epidemic in the Northeast, and the support for Yuan Shikai would definitely be greatly reduced. Therefore, this is also a great opportunity to expand Japan's sphere of influence in China.

So Japan immediately ordered Yamamoto Yoshima, Fukuda Masaki and Miura Kentaro, asking the three of them to achieve breakthrough results as soon as possible and occupy as much territory as possible.

This brought the pressure to the three of them even more, so the three of them had a bad idea and could not break through the Yuan army's defense line from the front, so they could only find a way from the side. However, Fujian and Jiangxi were almost bounded by the Wuyi Mountains, with many mountains and few breakthroughs. This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shikai dared to retain a small number of troops to defend against the German court. Therefore, if you want to break through from the side, you can only detour to Guangdong or Zhejiang provinces.

But Yuan Shikai was also prepared. He also arranged defense lines in Changning and Huichang areas at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces. However, it was unreasonable in the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, because Yuan Shikai believed that the Fengde court would never dare to detour from Zhejiang Province to attack Jiangxi, and the East China Government would not allow the Fengde court's army to enter Zhejiang Province.

However, after analysis, Yamamoto Yoshima, Fukuda Masaki, and Miura Kentaro believed that there is still a certain chance of success when detours from Zhejiang Province, because the East China Government is now dragged down by the epidemic in Northeast China, and may not dare to cause trouble. Moreover, the route taken by the Fengde Army from Zhejiang Province was from the Pucheng area to enter Zhejiang Province, and entered Jiangxi in Changshan area, and captured Guangxin Prefecture. The entire route was about 60 kilometers, which is 1 or 2 days, and it did not stay in Zhejiang Province for a long time. Therefore, it is also very likely that the East China Government will endure this breath.

Once the Fengde army captured Guangxin Prefecture, it could directly capture the Yuan army's rear route. The Yuan army's defense line would be broken without attacking. The Fengde army could take advantage of the situation to advance, invade Jiangxi Province, and make great profits, so it is worth a bet. Of course, if the Fengde army did not gamble, it would be difficult for the Fengde army to break through the Yuan army's defense line, so the three of them would probably end here. In the future, they would probably be marginalized and difficult to reuse again.

This plan was also supported by the Fengde Army General Staff. First, the interests of the staff members and the three were consistent. If this battle was not fought well, the future of all staff members would be affected; second, the staff members were basically young officers in their early 30s, young and energetic, and secretly had the idea of ​​twisting the tiger beard of the East China Government. So the staff decided that Fukuda Masaki led two divisions to detour from Zhejiang Province to attack Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, Yoshima Yamamoto, and Kentaro Miura led his troops to attack from the front and attack from the front and back.

So Futian Zhengqi led two divisions and entered Zhejiang Province from Xianxialing in Pucheng, northwest Fujian. However, on the border, he was blocked by a company of the People's Army stationed at the border by the East China Government.

At first, Masaki Fukuda wanted to avoid a forceful conflict with the People's Army, so he sent people to negotiate with the People's Army, saying that he was just passing by the way and immediately walked out of Zhejiang Province. He would not stay in Zhejiang Province for a long time, and at the same time he also issued a threat. Now the troops of the two sides are very different. Once there is a conflict, the People's Army will never be an opponent. Therefore, I hope the People's Army can give way to the Fengde Army to pass.

Although the People's Army had few soldiers, they were not afraid at all. They did not give in to the threats and intimidation of the Fengde Army and issued the final spy to the Fengde Army. As long as the Fengde Army dared to cross the border, the People's Army would launch an attack without hesitation and swear to defend the territory to the death.

Seeing that the persuasion and intimidation were ineffective, Fukuda Zhengqi was also in a difficult situation. After all, he could not withdraw his troops at this time, so he ordered the army to advance and cross the border between the two sides. It should be said that until this time, Fukuda Zhengqi did not want to have a conflict with the People's Army, but just wanted to put on a tough stance to make the People's Army retreat. If Bi Jing forced the German army to advance, the People's Army would not be able to withstand it.

But just as the Feng German army crossed the border, the People's Army guarding the border opened fire without hesitation, and the Feng German army naturally had to fire and fight back. Although the People's Army guarding the border was not the opponent of the Feng German army, after a brief fire exchange, it immediately retreated, killing 16 people and injured 27 people, but the situation finally developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Although Futian Zhengqi knew that things were getting worse, he could not look back in this era. At the same time, he still had a slight fantasy in his heart. As long as he passed through Zhejiang Province quickly, the East China Government might have endured this breath due to the impact of the epidemic. Therefore, after the People's Army guarding the border retreated, Futian Zhengqi immediately commanded the Fengde army to enter Zhejiang Province, and ordered an urgent march to pass through Zhejiang Province as soon as possible.

However, although the Feng German army rushed to the night and passed Zhejiang Province in less than a day and entered Jiangxi Province, it still caused an uproar. Even the Qingdao Executive Yuan was shocked. First, the Military Commission ordered the Southeast Military Region stationed in Zhejiang to immediately strengthen the border garrison between Zhejiang-Fujian and Zhejiang-Jiangxi, and then the army entered Zhejiang and could open fire directly; at the same time, Xia Bohai also ordered the two Marines stationed in Zhejiang Province to fight immediately and attack Fujian by Wenzhou Prefecture. This is the power of the Executive Yuan, and the Marines can order the war to the Marines without passing the House of Representatives.

After all, there is nothing to say when it reaches this point, so I can only give the Fengde court a headache. Because Xia Bohai and others believe that the passage of the Fengde army from Zhejiang Province is to test how much the East China government is affected by the epidemic. Therefore, if the East China government cannot respond as soon as possible, it may be more challenging.

Of course, on the next day, the Senate passed the unanimous vote to support the East China Government in launching a war against the Fengde court. At this time, the Southeast Military Region was still mobilizing troops to strengthen the border garrison between Zhejiang-Fujian and Zhejiang-Jiangxi, but soon received a new order to attack Fujian and annihilate the Fengde army that invaded Zhejiang Province, indicating that the East China Government would never compromise.
