Chapter 269: Fame Moves the World
Lu Yuguang, the young marshal of the Gui department, led 2,000 people to break the 40,000 army in Beiyang!
This news was omitted in the newspapers, and such a glorious record was in an uproar for a while. You know, 2,000 vs. 40,000 is a 20-fold difference. Although there are examples of this kind of battle in history, where less wins more. In particular, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, there were examples of the collapse of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops fought by thousands of great powers. But that was the reason why the level of weaponry and training of the two sides was one era apart. But after the establishment of the Republic of China, this kind of thing happened once, that is, during the Protectorate War, Cai Ye led less than 10,000 people to protect ** and tens of thousands of Beiyang Jīng Rui entangled in the Sichuan-Guizhou region for several months, and finally gained the upper hand, Cai Ng's glorious achievements became an important force to support public opinion and fight Yuan Shikai. But Cai Ye is a peerless general. One of the famous "Three Heroes of Non-commissioned Officers". Lu Yuguang is not well-known. Even before this war, the forces of all parties had not paid attention to such a person, after all, although the Gui family was not weak, it was normal for it to be on one side and not be taken seriously. In addition, this year, the Republic of China has continued to have major events, and the rise of the Northeast and Southwest is dizzying, although Lu Yuguang is also known as the young marshal, but his young marshal and Feng Yong's young marshal are actually 108,000 miles apart, after all, the power of the Gui family and the Northeast are not of the same grade at all. But since this stunned result happened, Lu Yuguang's reputation has increased greatly. There is even a tendency to stand shoulder to shoulder with Young Marshal Feng in the Northeast. After all, the two are of the same name, some are young people, and they have accomplished incredible feats. Of course, these are just folk thoughts, after all, the common people don't know the gap between the young marshal of the Gui family and the young marshal of the Northeast. But in the eyes of the big forces, Lu Yuguang is far from being comparable to Feng Yong at this stage. Because although Feng Yong is nominally the young marshal of the Northeast, he is the leader of this huge force in the Northeast, and Lu Yuguang is only a good general at present. There are some gaps from the commander-in-chief.
Newspapers in Shanghai and other places reported on this big event one after another, without the slightest concern for Beiyang's face. At the same time, the collapse of the Beiyang Army's Northern Route Army was also leaked out by these pervasive notes, and for a time there were different opinions about the future of Beiyang. Many people feel that Beiyang, which stood tall in the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty, has fallen to the point of crumbling. Now the world is the world of young forces.
Feng Yong in the northeast, Cai Yi in the southwest, and Lu Yuguang in the south. The tripartite forces have already surrounded Beiyang. The situation in Beiyang is very bad! The most important thing is that Beiyang has not gained the upper hand in the tripartite battlefield, and now Zhang Zuolin in the north has surrendered to the northeast with the banner. Then the Southwest New Army ambushed the Beiyang Northern Route Army, which led to the collapse of the Northern Route Army and fled back to Shaanxi in embarrassment. Until now, even the Beiyang Army that passed through the Gui system has been beaten back in embarrassment. Of the three battlefields, none of them in Beiyang went smoothly.
Northeast Marshal's Mansion.
Feng Yong's face was full of exhaustion. Feng'er stood behind Feng Yong obediently and gently pressed his shoulder.
"How's Ya'er?" Feng Yong asked with his eyes closed. This time has really worn him out. Li Jun went to the northwest, Feng Delin, and Jiang Baili all went south to Shanhaiguan to prepare for war with Beiyang. The entire military and political affairs of the Northeast were all pressed on him alone. Reading the mountains of newspapers every day made Feng Yong miserable.
"The divine doctor has seen it just now, and Madame's health is good!" Feng'er said obediently.
Feng Yong nodded and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some nourishing things in a while, and I'll go to her in the evening!" ”
"Yes, young master!"
"By the way, why haven't you studied lately, and you're about to take the exam, right?" Feng Yong tilted his head to look at Feng'er's coquettish smiling face and said. Feng'er is still taking classes in the Feng family's own school. The semester is also coming to an end.
"People have learned very well! My husband said I could go straight to college! Feng'er said with her little head held high. The figure of a fourteen-year-old girl has begun to take shape, and the little girl exudes a kind of green chūn vitality, which is very attractive. Moreover, women in this era are generally precocious, and fourteen years old is already the age when they know everything.
"Don't be in a hurry at the university, it's good to lay a little more foundation!" Feng Yong said with a smile. If it was in a previous life, it would be a genius to go to college at the age of fourteen, but in this era, most women are already married and have children at the age of fourteen. There are very few who have the opportunity to go to university.
Feng Yong's office is not accessible to everyone. Even his ladies didn't dare to come in casually, but Feng'er was an exception. First of all, Feng'er is Feng Yong's personal maid and is responsible for Feng Yong's daily life. Secondly, Feng Yong likes her very much, this girl is a pistachio. can keep Feng Yong in a good mood. Although the little girl is delicate, she is very smart, never talks nonsense, and takes good care of Feng Yong, which makes Feng'er's status in the Feng family special. Even Zhao Ya, who has established the status of the eldest lady, is very fond of Feng'er. I'm afraid it's not just Feng'er's cuteness that is not just among them.
After talking to Feng'er for a while, relieving some of the tension, Feng Yong began to focus on official business. Feng'er left softly with great interest.
"Report to the young marshal, the southwest emergency call!"
"Read!" Feng Yong said in a deep voice.
"Yes! On November 12 of the Republic of China, in Jincheng County, Bazhong, Sichuan, Li Chun's division of the Beiyang North Route Army was ambushed by the new army Jīng Ruidian Army, and Li Chun led his troops to break through, but the loss was more than half, and now the Beiyang North Route Army has fled to Shaanxi in embarrassment. After judgment, the Northern Route Army of the Beiyang Army lost its combat effectiveness! ”
"Report to the young marshal, Guangxi emergency electricity!" A herald hurried in.
"Read!" Feng Yong's brows sank, what kind of rì is this today, how can there always be big things happening. You know, you can't send out emergency electricity for anything.
"Yes! On November 14 of the Republic of China, in Xing'an County, Guangxi, the Zhigui Division of the Beiyang South Route Army was routed by 2,000 men of the Dú Lì Regiment of Lu Yuguang, a major marshal of the Gui Department, and the troops had retreated back to Hunan. At present, the loss situation is unknown, but most of the weapons and ammunition have been lost, and it is preliminarily judged that the Beiyang South Route Army has lost its combat effectiveness. ”
"Duan Zhigui? Two thousand? Feng Yong laughed. Duan Zhigui is a waste, Duan Qirui actually let him lead the army, his brain was really squeezed by the door.
"What about the movements of the other two Beiyang Army?" Feng Yong asked.
"The Beiyang Cao Kun Department is still wandering in the Wushan area, and the specific situation is unknown. Xu Shuzheng's division of the Southern Route Army had already accelerated its march and headed straight for the southwest hinterland. ”
Feng Yong nodded. Although he did not know the specific military deployment of Cai Yi, judging from the current performance of the Beiyang Army, Cai Yi should have divided his troops into two routes, one of which was to ambush Li Chun's new army, Jīng Rui-Dian Army. Then the other way is either in front of Cao Kun or in front of Xu Shuzheng.
Thinking of Cao Kun, Feng Yong thought of Wu Peifu, the famous jade marshal of the Republic of China. Although Wu Peifu is a warlord, it is undeniable that his military talent is really strong, and he is one of the few wise commanders in the Beiyang system. It's a pity that no matter how strong his ability is, he can't change the fate of the decline of the Beiyang system, and in the end, the military commander who has the most hope of unifying the whole country was swept into the garbage heap of history by the revolutionary forces.
It seems that Xu Shuzheng should only be facing a small group of sāo harassment troops of the New Army. Second Brother Cai should lead the army to play hide and seek with Cao Kun and Wu Peifu in the Wushan area! Feng Yong looked at the map and said.
"Young marshal, now the domestic newspapers are already noisy. Many arguments say that Beiyang is twilight, and the future will be the world of our young forces! Combat staff officer Xu Lang said with a smile. But what about other forces, with the young marshal, the Northeast is the most powerful force.
"The newspapers, those are all nonsense of literati who rely on the pen to eat, and they have a few military affairs that they understand. Beiyang is late, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The most powerful thing in Beiyang is not their army, but their heritage. There are countless families in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and these families are the recipients of the benefits of Beiyang power, will they watch the collapse of Beiyang power? Besides, even our Northeast does not have the power to subdue the world, let alone its power. So, you can read the future predictions in the newspapers, but don't take them seriously! "Feng Yong himself comes from later generations, and no one knows the general trend of world development better than him, although because of his butterfly effect, the development direction of this world has changed a lot, but many things cannot be changed by his butterfly effect.
"By the way, you just said that Lu Yuguang, the young marshal of the Gui family? Defeat the 40,000 Beiyang Army with the strength of one regiment. What a surprise! "Lu Yuguang, Feng Yong, has never heard of this person at all, which means that this person is a person who has been submerged by the original history. At the same time, it is also its own butterfly effect.
"Yes! Lu Yuguang is the son of Lu Rongting, the marshal of the Gui family, and the young marshal of the Gui family. With such brilliant results on the battlefield for the first time, he may be a very strong opponent in the future! Xu Lang whispered.
"Opponents? Maybe! But before the collapse of the Beiyang, we can only be allies! Feng Yong said confidently. In Feng Yong's heart, what really paid him attention to in the Liangguang region was not the Gui faction Lu Rongting who was like Rì Zhongtian, but the Kuomintang that was still dormant. Compared with the original time and space, the Kuomintang entered Guangdong four years ahead of schedule, and even established a military academy six years ahead of schedule. Although the addresses of the military schools in both planes are the same, they are both in Whampoa. But the biggest difference between this military school and the original time and space is that this military school will not have any red sè elements. Naturally, there will be no fierce ideological disputes. I just don't know if such a Whampoa can become a world-class military school. Feng Yong was a little cranky.
"Young Marshal, do you want to pay more attention to the Liangguang Gui Department?" Xu Lang suggested.
Feng Yong thought for a moment and nodded. After all, there is no record of Lu Yuguang in history, not that there was no such person in history, but that this person did not leave any records in the annals at all. But that doesn't mean the person isn't capable. Feng Yong's generals, even his deputy Li Jun, are not recorded in history, but can it be said that their abilities are not good? Besides, as the butterfly effect increases, there's nothing wrong with being careful.
