    Chapter 210 Everyone looks for a way out

    When the telegram arrived on Duan Qirui's desk, spring snow was falling outside, and the entire Sijiu City was completely white.  Press ctrl+d to quickly collect """.

    "It's outrageous, it's outrageous!" After reading the telegram, Duan Qirui put the telegram under the table in front of Lu Jianzhang and Zhao Ti, and said angrily: "This Chen Er'an looks like a talented person. How can he be so important in important matters?"  It would be so confusing!¡±

    The north wind blowing in through the gap in the window blew the telegram to the door. Fu Liangzuo happened to walk in, leaned over to pick up the telegram and took a look at the straight military uniform, with several medals hanging on his chest every day. Duan Qirui, who was sulking, approached Zhao Ti  He asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou Ren, what's going on, Commander?"

    Zhao Ti and he were graduates of the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy at the same time. They were both worshiped by Jiang Gui, the leader of the Yi Army. Later, they lost contact because he was recommended to study in Japan, so they quickly winked when they saw that it was him.  , pointing to the telegram in his hand: "What else can happen? Xinyang has been slapped in the face."

    "The fight in Xinyang has begun." Fu Liangzuo was startled at first. The plan was to delay the fight until March. Why was it suddenly brought forward?  He quickly flipped through the telegram, and his expression changed a little after reading it. Unexpectedly, the National Defense Force actually used airplanes to drop leaflets. Thousands of leaflets were dropped, and the First Army, which was originally delayed due to military pay, didn't know it was going to cause trouble.  What will it become?

    Duan Qirui took a sip of cold tea, looked up and saw him and said angrily: "Go, send a telegram to Chen Huan! You are the referee director, go and reprimand him, lest he doesn't know how much he weighs!"

    Fu Liangzuo didn't dare to speak. In fact, he knew in his heart that what made him angry was not the leaflets or Xinyang's plan to start the war in advance, but that Commander Duan, who was dressed neatly every day and almost never left his body with military medals, couldn't stand Chen Huan.

    Since Yuan Shikai divided Beiyang into three armies, who within Beiyang has not coveted the positions of these three army commanders?  In Beijing and Zhili, no one can move under the control of the old man, so the most fierce competition is between the Xinyang First Army and the Xuzhou Second Army.  Duan Zhigui occupied a good position in the Second Army. Although everyone knew that he was a fool, who made this "godson" gain the trust of the president?  Coupled with the two old dogs Zhang Xun and Ni Sichong, the old man had a tight control. In the end, everyone could only stare at Xinyang.

    But no one expected that the old man first appointed the rebellious Wu Xiucai as the commander of the 8th Division, and then appointed Chen Huan, who had only joined Beiyang in the year of 1911, as the commander of the army, which immediately put an end to his idea of ??controlling the First Army.  , so he quickly put Wang Jinjing and Jin Yunpeng in the positions of the 2nd Division and the 5th Division. Hearing that Chen Huan wanted people, he also hired Xu Shuzheng as a staff officer.

    Fu Liangzuo shook his head when he thought of these, and he was so angry that Chief Duan did not let go of this idea. No matter what, this reprimand telegram must not be sent, because from Chen Huan's standpoint, it was right to do so, and time was running out.  The longer it goes, the more unstable the morale of the army will be, so it is better to take a chance as soon as possible.  But he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to look at Lu Jianzhang with his eyes.

    Lu Jianzhang was an old man from Beiyang. He defeated ten out of ten members of the Kuomintang party in the north, so the Kuomintang hated him to the core and called him a butcher. However, he was deeply appreciated by Yuan Shikai for this matter, and he was the only one in the room who dared to do so.  The person who dissuaded Duan Qirui.  Seeing Fu Liangzuo winking vigorously, he said: "Zhiquan will calm down the fire. It makes sense for Er'an to do this."

    Duan Qirui didn't have any left in the game, but Lu Jianzhang still had to give him face. He sighed and said, "Does Lang Zhai think I don't want to fight? I can't help it! Liang Yansun is an iron rooster. I have beaten him three times in the morning."  I called to ask for funds, but he held on to the money and refused to let go. He would always use the President to pressure me, saying that I need the President¡¯s nod! But¡± He became angrier as he spoke, and started beating himself up.  After returning from Tianjin, Yuan Shikai's health became worse and worse. He was bedridden and could not even see him a few times. How could he ask for funds under such circumstances?  Seeing that Yang Qiu in the south is fanning the flames and getting more and more violent, the Japanese loan is likely to be gone. Britain and the United States are willing to continue to provide it, but the asking price is much higher!  It would be a big joke if Nanjing really convened an interim parliament to initiate impeachment!  So he was extremely anxious. After all, he had no good fruits to gain from the fall of Beiyang.

    Lu Jianzhang shook his head. Yuan Shikai was so sick that most of Beiyang was paralyzed. Who doesn't know Liang Shiyi's little tricks?  Nowadays, if you have money, you are the master. Without money, no one can have fun. But without the master, who would dare to touch him?  He could only say, "Okay, don't be angry. It just so happens that I have something to go to see the President. Why don't we talk about it together? This Liang Yansun is getting more and more outrageous."

    Duan Qirui thought about it, grabbed his hat and walked with him. Seeing the two of them leaving Zhao Ti, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Fu Liangzuo: "Brother Jieqing (Fu Liangzuo), I know that Mr. Duan thinks highly of you, so I have something to ask you to help me with."  .¡±

    Fu Liangzuo had a good friendship with him, and he quickly said: "Brother Zhou Ren is so annoying. Is there anything we can't do about our friendship?"?'s.  "

    Zhao Ti looked around and said: "White Wolf bandits have appeared in western Henan recently. They are robbing homes and causing great trouble. Zhang Zhenfang has repeatedly asked Xinyang to send troops to suppress the bandits, but now how can Xinyang still have troops to do so?"  , Master Jiang meanslet me talk to the commander-in-chief and lead Yijun to destroy the bandits."

    After listening to his words, Fu Liangzuo¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was boiling.  During the Shaanxi Mutiny in the year of 1911, Zhao Ti led the 16th Battalion of the Yi Army to Shaanxi and fought with the civilian army at Tongguan. In the end, they ended up in a draw and had to go to Tongguan to negotiate a peace. This time, although he said he was going to Henan to suppress bandits, Henan was very close to Shaanxi.  The north and the Central Plains are about to undergo major changes. It is obvious that they want to use the bandits to lead the Yi army out of the northwest!

    In the year of 1911, the Yi army suffered a lot of losses in Shaanxi and Hubei, but it still had 20 infantry battalions, three horse battalions, and two artillery battalions with a total of 60,000 troops. They were an important defensive force in Zhili, Henan.  , even Yuan Shikai relied heavily on him, so when he established military ranks last time, he specially named Jiang Gui as general. If they left Zhili would be much empty.  But let alone him, even Duan Qirui would be hard-pressed to stop him.  After all, Yijun is different from Beiyang, and there is a big boss like Jiang Guiti in charge. Who dares to stop them if they really want to leave?

    Seeing that he was still silent, Zhao Ti also knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from him, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Jieqing, since you guessed that my brother didn't hide anything from you, the current situation is difficult, so we have to keep some things for ourselves."  There is no way. Besides, Shi Congbin is the only division in Shaanxi. I can increase my strength by going there. As long as I keep Shaanxi, no matter who comes, I can't move to Shanxi or Zhili. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? If you have this idea, brother, I  Go and tell Lord Jiang now and ask General Duan to let you go to Shaanxi with me."

    Fu Liangzuo shook his head and declined his "good intention". When he left the Yijun system, he saw that the internal chaos of Yijun was too chaotic to become a great weapon, so how could he go back again.  But he didn't dare to immediately agree to persuade Duan Qirui to let go. He could only say that he would try his best to talk about it.  Seeing Zhao Ti leaving with a happy face, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.  The president is lingering on the sickbed, Liang Shiyi is holding on to money and refuses to let go, Duan Zhigui only knows how to make money in Xuzhou, Chen Huan wants to do something but is held in the palm of Chief Duan, the internal strife in the Beiyang direct line has not been resolved, Zhao Ti and Jiang Gui have problems  They want to use the bandit suppression to drag Yijun to the northwest!  Hey Seeing that the disaster is coming, these people are about to fly away. Is the Beiyang Qi really coming to an end?

    Yijun is moving!

    This news reached the General Staff of the National Defense Forces in Hanyang an hour after the Yijun Pioneer Battalion was set off. Song Ziqing stood in front of the map with a serious look on his face, and his fingers kept moving on the map. Xiao Anguo was also surprised and asked: "Yuan Shikai  The initial attempt to change the Yi Army into the Wuwei Zuo Army failed, and in the end they had to be stationed in Zhili as permanent guards. Why did Hao Duanduan suddenly leave?"

    The war is approaching, and Wusheng Pass needs someone to guard it for a long time, so He Xi and Yue Peng have been stationed in rotation recently. They happened to come back to rest in the past few days. He wanted to spend time with his family, but he didn't expect to get the news of Yijun's departure, so he rushed there  The General Staff asked about the situation, and after hearing Xiao Anguo's words, he also said: "It is said to be dealing with the White Wolf Bandits in Henan, but I don't think it is that simple!"

    As the National Defense Force's business becomes bigger and bigger, Song Ziqing's pressure has increased sharply recently. Yang Qiu has been away for a long time during this period, and important assistant Cai Jimin needs to temporarily stay in the southwest. Cai E, who has agreed to serve as deputy chief of staff, has not recovered from his illness, at least until  He could not come to Hanyang until the end of March, and Yue Peng and He Xi also needed to take turns stationed at Wusheng Pass. Therefore, except for occasionally discussing with Jiang Baili, he could hardly find anyone to discuss military affairs.

    The dispatch of Yijun was obviously an accident. From the perspective of the current National Defense Force, although this army is already a bit old, it is said to be 50,000 strong!  Even if it is an exaggeration, there must be 40,000. According to Beiyang standards, this is the establishment of three divisions. If this force really wants to take root in Henan to suppress bandits, forget it, but if He raised his eyelids,  Looking at the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi above Henan, I felt secretly worried.

    The possibility of entering Shanxi is very small. Yan Xishan has a conservative personality and attaches great importance to his own three-acre land. Although he received the establishment of a division from Yuan Shikai, he always keeps a certain distance from Beiyang.  After 1911, the Shanxi merchant forces were basically divided among the provinces, and the remaining ones could barely maintain the operation of Shanxi. He was unwilling to deal with Japanese and foreign forces, so his military strength was only about one large brigade.  It is impossible for this small number of troops to stop Yijun, but on the other hand, Jiang Guiti and Zhao Ti will not touch Shanxi as long as they do not fall out with Yuan Shikai, because that will force him to the side of the National Defense Forces, so it is most likely  That is to enter Shaanxi, or simply continue north to Gansu, Suiyuan, or even Xinjiang!

    Since He Xi became the division commander, he has also strengthened his own study and participated in the strategic and tactical training courses specially organized by Jiang Baili for senior military officers. Therefore, he also saw the movements of Yijun and worried: "The northwest is already chaotic enough.  Ningma and Qingma couldn't get away from us while we were in the pass.They are killing people like crazy and have repeatedly threatened the safety of Tibetans. Xikang and Sichuan have repeatedly reported encounters with Qingma entering the country to attack Tibetans. If Yijun goes to the northwest again, it may be even more difficult in the future!  "

    Xiao Anguo heard that Yi Jun wanted to go to Shaanxi and was very worried: "If Yi Jun wants to go north, he must go through Tongguan. We are too far away from there. Even if the Fourth Division enters Shaanxi now, it will have to pass through Shi Congbin and Zhang Fenghui first."  Maybe the two of them will go to the northwest to run business together with Yijun."

    "I'm not afraid of going to the northwest. The Ma family won't easily let an unknown army occupy the northwest. What I'm afraid of is" Song Ziqing's eyes moved up, looking at the confidant with a huge territory.  Big trouble said: "They will go to Xinjiang! It's not peaceful there"

    Being reminded like this, He Xi and Xiao Anguo became even more anxious. Once Yi Jun really went to Xinjiang and colluded with Russia the threat would be huge!  He quickly asked: "What should we do? Why don't Shi Xiaolou take action immediately? The 18th Brigade arrived in Guangyuan yesterday, so there is still a chance."

    Song Ziqing shook his head. It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t know how harmful it would be if Yijun entered the northwest, and it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t know that Yang Qiu had long wanted to pacify the northwest. But if the Fourth Division moves, it will definitely be a full-scale war!  Although there will be a fight sooner or later, but not now Yang Qiu was engaged in impeachment in Nanjing and advocated the convening of an interim parliament. He was not afraid of Beiyang, nor did he really think that the law could solve the problem, but deliberately drew attention to it.  The Wehrmacht stalled for time.

    Now all the southwest has been mobilized. The weapons and ammunition purchased from Germany have just reached the intensive delivery period. Our own Hubei Industrial Company is also operating at full capacity day and night. Even Chongqing, which has not yet been fully built, has started pre-production using the equipment of the former Jiangnan factory.  Simple equipment such as ammunition and grenades.

    But if the Fourth Division is not moved, who can stop Yijun?

    Song Ziqing unknowingly turned a few bullets around with his fingers. This was a habit of his. When he was thinking, his fingers always liked to play with small things. After a moment, he slowly stopped moving, his eyes locked on Shanxi, and he waved.  The staff record: "Send a telegram immediately to contact the Cavalry Regiment. No matter what method you use, you must contact them within two days! Find Fang Rui again and ask him if he can contact the White Wolf Bandit."

    Both Xiao Anguo and He Xi's hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at each other in horror: "Zi Qing, you want the cavalry regiment to cross Shanxi!"

    Song Ziqing nodded heavily: "Ma Kui and An Guoliang should have arrived in Taiyuan soon. Yan Xishan had better turn a blind eye this time, otherwise even if the commander blames him, I will give him a hard slap."  !¡±

    Although the two of them think this method is too bold, if Yan Xishan is really willing to cooperate, or at least pretends not to see it, a large cavalry regiment can arrive at the Yellow River within five days at the latest, as long as it can strangle Sanmenxia first  The way Yijun went north was blocked!  As long as the Yi army is blocked in Henan, they will not be able to escape once a full-scale attack begins, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.

    But isn¡¯t it too risky to just rely on a large cavalry regiment to stop tens of thousands of Yi troops from going north?  Even if they can contact Bai Lang and his gang, will they be willing to obey?  Bandits are bandits. It's okay to rob homes and homes, but I'm afraid when faced with regular troops.  The two of them were unsure. Only Song Ziqing narrowed his eyes and said coldly, as sharp as a knife: "Don't worry, An Guoliang is a tricky kid. He won't take the possessions he finally put together unless it's absolutely necessary."  Fight hard."
