In July 1927, General He Long, leading his troops in the Northern Expedition, defeated Zhang Zuolin's forces in Henan, achieving a significant victory in Linying. Wang Jingwei, chairman of the Wuhan National Government, conspired secretly with Chiang Kai-shek, forcing He Long to return to Wuhan. To win over the military, he appointed He Long as the commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Soon after, Wang Jingwei orchestrated the defection of Tong Huaicai's troops in the 20th Army. Despite warnings from Bai Ying, a journalist accompanying the troops from the "Nationalist Daily," He Long bravely rode out amidst gunfire to quell the mutiny. From the soldiers, He Long learned that Wang Jingwei had secretly released the Japanese Yamada, who was drenched in the blood of the Chinese people. He rushed to the dock, intercepted a cargo ship, and cleverly captured Yamada, who was hiding in a pile of coal. Wang Jingwei then instructed the local elite in Wuhan to bribe He Long heavily. At the "Hongyun Building," He Long, in front of them, threw all the invaluable jewelry into the lake, shocking the wealthy gentlemen. While Wang Jingwei shouted for the "East Expedition against Chiang," he secretly confiscated workers' armed weapons and arrested and massacred the peasant and worker masses. He Long firmly criticized Wang Jingwei's counter-revolutionary actions. At a loss for words, Wang Jingwei tried to divert He Long’s troops for the Eastern Expedition. He Long used this to his advantage, hosting a tofu banquet to distract the leaders of the Hunan and Hubei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party. At the banquet hall, He Long ordered the confiscation of firearms from the search parties that barged in and executed their leader. During a time of adversity for the Communist Party, He Long remained loyal, but was met with suspicion from Zhang Guotao, who believed He Long harbored ambitions to become an emperor and could not be trusted or relied upon. This view was refuted by Zhou Enlai. On the eve of the Eastern Expedition, Zhou Enlai specially went to see He Long off, and He Long expressed his revolutionary belief that "to truly save China, only the Communist Party can do it." He Long's nephew, Xue Rui, rushed from their hometown, crying about the persecution of He Long's family by reactionary forces. Furious, He Long thought of the Eastern Expedition as going with the Communist Party to save all the common people of China. He suppressed his personal feelings and ordered his troops to set out. The 20th Army stopped at Jiujiang during the Eastern Expedition, where Zhou Enlai conveyed the Central Committee’s decision to He Long, making his forces the main force for an armed uprising in Nanchang at an appropriate time. He Long gladly accepted. Wang Jingwei attempted to trick He Long to Mount Lu, but He Long refused. He sent assassins to kill He Long but failed. Left with no choice, Wang Jingwei attempted to blow up bridges to halt He Long's army while appointing He Long as the overall commander of the Second Front Army, trying to win him over. Bai Ying, a journalist with the troops and an agent of Chiang Kai-shek, also revealed his identity, urging He Long to collaborate with Chiang. Faced with the schemes of Chiang and Wang, He Long chose the revolutionary path, leading his troops to advance towards Nanchang and joining the ranks of the "August 1" uprising.
