The Northeast quickly defeated the Ning Navy, the most powerful of the Ma family's army, with a thunderous force, and drove the Ma Qi brothers out of their lair. For a time, it brought a huge shock to the Ganning area. This kind of shock contributed to the union of Ma Jiajun. The Majia Combined Army was dominated by the Western Army and the Anning Army, supplemented by the Gansu New Army and other forces surnamed Ma, with a total strength of 50,000 troops. For a time, a confrontation was formed in the northeast.

In Gulang County, Ma Qi's expression was gloomy to the extreme. Behind him stood Ma Lin, who had been wounded in the arm. The battle of the ancient city of Xiliang caused the power of the Ma brothers to lose to the extreme.

"Second brother, have you counted it? How many of us are there? "In the battle of Xiliang Ancient City, the Ma Qi brothers fled here. Collect the rout, but the result makes the two want to cry without tears.

"Big brother, less than one-tenth of the main force of our Ning Navy has escaped, and after two days of retraction, there are only more than 1,000 elite people. On top of that, we lost the three richest counties. I'm afraid the security corps in those counties are also finished! "The Ma brothers control a total of five county seats. Among them, two county towns near the ancient city of Xiliang were also occupied by the Northeast Security Army. The security corps in the three county towns were also wiped out. The remaining two counties were too far away from the ancient city of Xiliang, so they did not divide troops to capture them in the northeast. After all, after the Ma Jiajun united, the total strength has exceeded the current Northeast Security Army. The reason why the Northeast was dormant was to wait for reinforcements from the more than 30,000 people led by Cui Xiaolong. The reason why the Ma Family United Army did not do it was because there were many internal contradictions, and many forces were still hostile before the union, although they moved towards unity because of the pressure from the northeast, but the contradictions could not be eliminated if they wanted to. Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang wanted to command Ma Jiajun flexibly, so it became very difficult. In this case, the entire Ganning region instead fell into the tranquility that existed before the war.

"Merge the security regiment of Yongchang County and Gulang County into our Ning Navy, there are 3,000 people, and our Ning Navy can't cross it!" Ma Qi said with a hideous expression.

"Big brother, why don't we go to the Ma Jiajun's alliance. Even if we can't hold power in the combined army because of the great loss of our strength, it is much safer to unite with the other Ma family armies than for us to be trapped in these two remote counties. Ma Qi didn't understand his brother's thoughts.

"Second brother, we are no longer the imposing Ning Navy Commander. Although you and I both know that even if we don't ambush the vanguard regiment in the Northeast, the Northeast will start a war with the Ganning region. However, because there is no excuse for the Northeast Society, the start of the war should be delayed a little. But because of our actions, we have given the Northeast a good excuse to attack, and the Northeast has occupied the righteousness to a certain extent. This accelerated the invasion of the northeast into the Ganning region. In addition, our strength has been greatly damaged, and the wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it! Ma Qi said with a suffocated face. Since Ning Haijun was separated from the Western military system, he Ma Qi had never encountered such a grievance. But even if he is unwilling, there is no way for the time being. Although there are still 3,000 soldiers in the Ning Navy. But the elite among them are only more than 1,000 people who escaped from the battlefield. This amount of strength is nothing in front of the Western Army, the Anning Army and the Gansu New Army. Ma Qi was not worried that other forces of the Ma Jiajun would do anything to him, even the Western Army and the Anning Army would not do anything to him at this time. Although there is no harmony between the horses, it can be regarded as a brother pinching the wall. What Ma Qi was really afraid of was Zhang Guangjian, the overseer of Gansu. This old thing's methods are very clever, and now he is the commander of the Ma family's combined army, although this title is nothing, but if he uses the Ning Navy to provoke such a strong enemy in the northeast as an excuse to send troops to occupy these two counties, then their brothers will really have no place to stand.

"So what do we do? Could it be that he is struggling to survive in this small county town of Gulang? Ma Lin was unwilling to accept such a failure.

"Second brother, calm down, although our strength is not as good as before, but there are still three thousand elites, and now we are dormant in such a remote place, outsiders don't even know the life and death of our brothers. Let's take this opportunity to rebuild our strength. As for this Ganning region, let them fight with the Northeast! We don't have the right to meddle anymore" Ma Qi's eyes flashed with strong ambition, and he was unwilling, but he was able to calm down, like a dormant poisonous snake, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

Northeast Marshal's Mansion. Feng Yong sat opposite a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Wu, I don't know what you are doing when you come to the Northeast?" Feng Yong said with a smile. Although Feng Yong is the actual ruler of the Northeast, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Northeast is still led by Marshal Feng Delin. Therefore, ordinary people come to visit Feng Delin to receive them. Only big people who understand the current situation in the Northeast will be received by him.

"Young Marshal, Dinh Phuong came to the Northeast this time to undertake the important mission of President Li Da. I won't say anything polite. It is believed that with the intelligence ability of the young marshal, the current situation in the capital has been basically clear. The contradiction between the president and Premier Duan has become irreconcilable, and now General Chief Duan has frequently mobilized troops, and his purpose is self-evident. It must be through the military to put pressure on the president. Although the president is very popular with the people, the military strength in his hands cannot be compared with that of General Duan. Therefore, this time, the president sent Ting Fang in the hope of obtaining the support of the young marshal and refuting the conspiracy of General Duan and Germany to go to war. Wu Tingfang did not hide it, but asked Feng Yong to support President Li Da against Chief Duan. As Li Yuanhong's attendant military attaché, he is an absolute confidant. He does have the qualifications to represent President Loei.

Mr. Wu's words made Han Qing embarrassed. Mr. should know that the Northeast Security Army is still the army of the Republic of China, and it belongs to the army department of General Duan. How can we do the following! Mr. Hanqing could not agree to his request. Feng Yong refused with a smile.

Wu Tingfang's face was bitter. Knowing that the trip won't go too well. As for Feng Yong's words, Wu Tingfang would not believe it at all, the reason why Feng Yong disagreed was because they didn't have enough chips. As for listening to Chief Duan's words, that's complete.

"Young Marshal, although the Northeast Security Army is strong, it is located in a remote place in the Northeast after all. It can't have an impact on Kannai, and the population of Tohoku is too sparse compared to Kannai. Doesn't the young marshal want to go to the Guannai to develop? Wu Tingfang tempted.

"Hehe, what's the matter, Mr. Wu can give Han Qing a piece of the prosperous land in the Guannai. If Mr. Wu can call the shots, Han Qing will also take a risk for this huge cake. Feng Yong said jokingly. The hinterland of the Central Plains is the foundation of the Beiyang Army, and even if they split, they will not let the Northeast interfere. After all, the forces in the Northeast have aroused their fear, and if they enter the customs, they will become the land of life and death for the Beiyang Army. For this, Duan Qirui will definitely not agree. If he forcibly enters the customs, the Northeast will definitely have a good fight with the Beiyang Army. And Feng Guozhang, who doesn't deal with Duan Qirui, will not sit idly by, after all, the land in the Guannai is also the territory of the direct line. Feng Guozhang disagreed, and Li Yuanhong didn't dare to agree, after all, Li Yuanhong was able to wrestle with Duan Qirui now relying on the support of Feng Guozhang's direct forces.

"Shandong! The president was willing to make Major Marshal Feng the overseer of Shandong. In exchange for the full support of the Northeast! Wu Tingfang gritted his teeth and said.

"What?" Even Feng Yong's city government shouted out in shock.

"Mr. Wu, you're not kidding! Shandong is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the foundation of the government army, can Chief Duan agree? Feng Yong couldn't hide his shock.

"Young Marshal, President Li Da is the master of this country. Chief Duan is also a subordinate of the president! Wu Tingfang said with some displeasure. He is the absolute confidant of President Li Da and is loyal to Li Yuanhong. For Feng Yong, the left section chief and the right section chief sound very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wu, you were too surprised by what you just said, Han Qing lost his temper. However, Shandong is the base of the government army, and it is so close to the Gyeonggi capital. Status speaks for itself. Such a high position as the Shandong Overseer is not something that anyone can sit in, and this position is probably not something that President Li Da can decide in a word. Han Qing didn't understand, how did President Li Da let Han Qing serve as the overseer of Shandong? ”

"The president can unilaterally appoint the young marshal as the overseer of Shandong, but as for whether he can sit firmly in the position of the overseer of Shandong, it depends on the young marshal's ability." Wu Tingfang said with some embarrassment. This condition sounds tempting. But in fact, it is to draw bread to satisfy hunger, hoping for plums to quench thirst. But from Wu Tingfang's words, Feng Yong was keenly aware of the irreversible changes in the situation in Beijing. Judging from Li Yuanhong's almost crazy conditions, Li Yuanhong's position has reached a precarious point. Even Feng Guozhang, who supported the confrontation between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, changed his attitude, and even Feng Guozhang had secretly reached a compromise with Duan Qirui. Otherwise, Li Yuanhong would never have jumped over the wall in a hurry and put forward such generous conditions for the Northeast. There was a palpable sense of hysteria.

Feng Yong groaned. Weigh the pros and cons of this matter. Wu Tingfang was secretly anxious. Now that General Duan and Feng Guozhang have reached a consensus, the two sides are simultaneously pressuring President Li Da to agree to declare war on Germany. President Lebanon is running out of his hand. Otherwise, the help of the Northeast will not be sought.

"Mr. Wu, this matter is too big, Han Qing needs to discuss it with others. So Mr. Grievance goes to rest first! Although Feng Yong was moved, he didn't have a hot head to agree. Instead, they chose the safest way.

Although Wu Tingfang was anxious, there was no change on his face, and he nodded helplessly. After all, this is a decision related to the future of the Northeast, and Feng Yong will never promise it rashly.

Wu Tingfang left, and Feng Yong fell into deep thought. According to the original time and space. It was almost time for China and Germany to declare war. It was also the time when the final result of the battle between the government and the court appeared, and unlike the original time and space, the position of President Li Da, who should have had the upper hand temporarily, turned out to be precarious. And Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, who were originally-for-tat, also moved towards a temporary union. I'm afraid all this is because of his butterfly effect.
