July 1, 1917. On the battlefield of Xu Beng, the Wehrmacht has achieved an absolute victory. After continuous attrition, Wu Peifu's troops were less than 100,000, and the area was compressed from the Huaihai area to the Bengbu area of Anhui Province. The Wehrmacht has surrounded it from all sides, and the logistics supply to Beiyang has also been cut off.

On the battlefield in Jiangsu, Cao Kun was also in a very dangerous situation, especially after the loss of Huai'an City, the Beiyang Army lost a lot of baggage, which greatly reduced Cao Kun's strength. The fierce offensive of the Wehrmacht caused Cao Kun to retreat again and again. The defensive line has been compressed by the Wehrmacht for hundreds of kilometers. Now the Fourth Army is less than 100 miles away from the Yangtze River.

After the absolute victory on the battlefield of Xu Beng, Feng Yong called Jiang Baili, asking him to weaken the offensive and trap Wu Peifu in the Bengbu area. For the famous jade marshal Wu Peifu, Feng Yong has admired for a long time, and it is a pity that a wise commander like Wu Peifu has been eliminated too much. What's more, now that the overall situation on the battlefield has been decided, Beiyang has no chance of turning the tables. It was also time for the Wehrmacht to reap the fruits of the war. For Feng Yong, the fruits of victory are not only the territory, but also the capable and outstanding generals in Beiyang. Although the system of Beiyang is rigid, there are still many outstanding talents inside. These had a greater influence in the original history, and just disappeared, which was a loss for Feng Yong. Feng Yong's ambitions are very big, and his vision has already shifted from domestic to international, otherwise he would not be so generous and tolerant of everything. In Feng Yong's heart, he always firmly believes that a great country must have the bearing of a great country.

Outside Nanjing, the positions of the Beiyang Army were broken through one after another. The SS soldiers were not afraid of death, and as long as the Beiyang Army showed a little flaw, the defense line would be torn apart by the crazy SS troops, leading to a widespread collapse of the front.

Xiao Yaonan felt anxious, if it weren't for the fact that the SS did not carry heavy artillery, and the number of entries was too small, Nanjing City would have been captured by now. Even so, in the half-abandoned offensive and defensive battle, the Beiyang Army lost 30,000 troops. You know, the entire SS army was only 20,000 in.

The current city of Nanjing is in a panic, and the order of the Beiyang Governor's Mansion is in chaos. For a place like Beiyang, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe. Under the so-called end of the road, enter the heart. Not all of them want to perish with Beiyang.

In the early afternoon, the gunfire of the Battle of Nanjing had already reached the city from the distant suburbs, especially after the SS sent death squads to blow up the city walls, and the city finally reached the point of panic.

At this critical moment, some Beiyang officials secretly joined forces, and finally launched a mutiny, took control of the Beiyang Governor's Palace, and all the high-ranking Beiyang officials, including the Beiyang Governor Feng Guozhang, fell into the hands of these mutinous officials. As soon as these officials took control of the Governor's Palace, they sent a nationwide telegram in the name of the Beiyang Governor's Palace, demanding that all Beiyang troops give up resistance and accept all the conditions put forward by Beiyang.

As soon as this telegram came out, the whole country shook. All intro knew what this telegram meant.

When the news broke, all the battlefields stopped. This news is too shocking, and all of them are waiting to see the accuracy of this news. When the news of Feng Guozhang's house arrest came out, the entire Beiyang Army moved. Many Beiyang generals sent a telegram to reprimand these officials for eating inside and out, and committing the following crimes. There were even hot-tempered Beiyang officers who claimed to lead their troops back to Nanjing.

Although these generals had different opinions, a large part of the officers chose to remain silent. The difference between the Beiyang Army and the Wehrmacht is not more aware than they have been in contact with in person, and it is precisely because of this understanding that they choose to remain silent. Bi Jing, not all of them want to die.

Feng Guozhang was placed under house arrest, and the backbone of the Beiyang generals was placed on Cao Kun's body. When the news spread, almost half of the Beiyang generals called Cao Kun, hoping that he would come out to preside over the overall situation. Almost all of them included ninety percent of the officers in Beiyang.

Faced with this situation of ascending to the heights, Cao Kun was rarely silent. It was precisely because he understood the situation that he felt that it was difficult for him to make a choice. Cao Kun was bent on being a goal, and this goal was already about to be realized. The entire Beiyang system has regarded him as the leader of the next generation. But the rise of běi jīngzhèng fǔ shattered all that. Now he is faced with two difficult choices: the first is to ascend to the heights, all the forces in the entire Beiyang will be integrated under his command, and then fight with the national defense army to the end, with the current situation, I am afraid that he Cao Kun will come forward and integrate all the forces in Beiyang, and Beiyang will not last long. The second is to give up this opportunity and approve of the electrification of Nanjing. The best result is that these high-level bigwigs will go to the big city to do apartments. How to choose all this, even an old fox like Cao Kun can't make up his mind for a while.

Běi Jīng's Mansion of the Young Marshal.

Feng Yong was also surprised when he received the news. The mutiny, Jingran happened when the city was about to be broken, Feng Guozhang was really unlucky, he was betrayed by his subordinates, and he became a bargaining chip for his subordinates to survive and even get reused, and it became difficult to even die. This is a situation that is worse than death for a hero who has been in China for more than ten years.

"Young marshal, what should we do now? Shouldn't there be a reaction to this nationwide electrification? Li Yang asked. It's too sensitive at this time. Neither Li Jun's Government Council nor Li Yuanhong's presidential palace dared to react to this matter in the slightest. Bi Jing: This has a bearing on the overall situation of national reunification.

"Well, a reaction is necessary. I think it's certain that Beiyang's power is on, but it doesn't need to give Beiyang time to think about it. Send a telegram to the general command of the front, asking them not to relax the offensive, and if the Beiyang soldiers do not surrender, the Wehrmacht will definitely not stop the war. Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

Now Beiyang has lost its bargaining capital, although Feng Yong values some talents in Beiyang, but he only values it, and it has not yet reached the point of changing his battle plan for these entries.

Feng Yong's strong electrification is a heavy pressure on Beiyang, and behind the fact that he will fight a thousand crisps without dropping is an incomparably strong strength.

As Feng Yong finally made up his mind, the smoke of gunfire rose again on the battlefield. The resistance of the Beiyang soldiers was greatly reduced. From time to time, there are Beiyang troops who surrender, and the number is increasing.

In the encirclement, Wu Peifu tried to break through several times, but failed. Wu Peifu called Cao Kun many times, hoping that he could stand up and make a decision for the future of Beiyang.

In the face of pressure from all sides, Cao Kun finally telegraphed the whole country after facing another defeat and made the decision to surrender on behalf of the entire Beiyang Army.

When Cao Kun's order spread throughout the Beiyang Army, many Beiyang generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Bi Jing faced a war that was bound to be lost, and no one wanted to fight. But there are also many generals who are loyal to Beiyang who are stubborn, but these Bi Jing are a minority. There is no threat to the Defence Force at all.

Squad by squad of the Beiyang Army surrendered, and officers and enlisted men were screened out. All high-ranking officers were transported to the theater headquarters. Ordinary soldiers who are willing to join the army are selected to be incorporated into the national defense force, and those who are unwilling to join the army will be repatriated to their hometowns with travel expenses. The soldiers of Bijing Beiyang are obtained by catching strong men, and these soldiers have a lot of worries in their hearts, and it is difficult to perform well on the battlefield. In addition, after the end of the civil war, the Wehrmacht will definitely have to be reorganized, and some unqualified soldiers will also be eliminated. Naturally, they are more tolerant of these surrenders.

The Beiyang Mutiny, Emperor Ben Yao almost overturned the imperial case when he saw the telegraph. Prime Minister Terauchi Masashi was directly scolded for a bloody squirt. In order to limit the development of the Wehrmacht, Rìben spent a lot of resources, especially interest-free loans allocated to strengthen the strength of the Beiyang zhèng fǔ, and judging from the current situation, all those loans have been lost. Now Rì is not short of money, but he has not reached the point where he has more money to spend. The most important thing is that the money is not worth it at all, and it is not at all what they expected. On the contrary, because of their white spoon intervention, China was reunified more quickly. Emperor Yao knew very well how great the strength of a unified China was, even if the Manchu Qing was so weak and decadent, because it was a unified country, even if the army was weak, it was still a great power in the Far East. Now China is unified again, and the rulers are the Feng father and son, who have always been known for their toughness. This is definitely not a good thing for the Far Eastern powers at the same time. Bi Jing is difficult to accommodate two tigers in one mountain, and China and Rì are not one male and one female.

Ever since the Opium Wars, China's rulers have had an instinctive fear of foreign powers, as evidenced by China's decades of foreign wars. Later, after the rise of the rìben, especially after the First Sino-Japanese War, the rìben finally joined the ranks of the Western powers and made a prestige over the suzerainty of China. Whether it is the powerful Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the horizontally domineering president of the Republic of China, they all maintain a sense of awe for Rì. But Feng Yong's dominated běi jīngzhèng fǔ is not the case at all. Feng Yong is extremely tough on the outside world, and this is most evident in his relationship with Rì. Not only did border conflicts break out between the two sides, but there were even a thousand real guns, and the Rì Ben, which had the advantage of national strength, was beaten by the team, and the Jīng Rui Army lost most of its money, losing the face of the empire. Now among the world's powers, only rì本 does not have an embassy in běi jīng, and China zhèng fǔ seems to be very unwelcome, let alone afraid, of rìben.

The top brass did not understand that the Empire's Combined Fleet often operated in China's coastal waters, and even made provocative moves from time to time, and although the two sides did not go to war with real swords and guns, they did not face off once or twice at sea, and the border tension also occurred from time to time. But instead of being suppressed by this pressure, Běi jīngzhèng fǔ became even stronger. With Rìben's intelligence ability, he naturally understands that all this comes from the young marshal Feng who controls everything behind the scenes.
