China Merchants Steam Navigation/Sun Chuanfang

[Jerry Asher]

Does anyone know which ships assisted Sun in defense of Jiangxi in 1926? Sun began mobilization in mid August, with early movements by end of month, and substantial movement by Sept.15th. Assitance can be simple as troop or cargo carrier.

孙传芳本人也于1926年9月22日从南京来到九江，总司令部设在九江江面上的“江新”轮上，并调海军总司令杨树庄率领军舰前来助战.

Sun Chuanfang arrived at Jiujiang on Sep 26 1926. His headquarters located on the "Chiang Hsin" (Jiang Xin, maybe a merchant ship) moord near Jiujiang, and ordered Yang Shuzhuang (naval commander) to send some warships.
