readx; In Fengtian, Northeast China, Zhang Zuolin sat with a calm face, and there were several other people standing beside him, and these people were naturally the right-hand men under him Zhang Zuolin, and these people were also as gloomy as Zhang Zuolin, and a few of them could see the worry on their faces at a glance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After being silent in the hall for a long time, Zhang Zuolin raised his head and looked at everyone: "There is not much time left for us in Nanjing, how do you reply to all of you?" ”

After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 27th Division below, stood up and said: "Overseer, what I mean is the same as what I just said, Nanjing has become a general trend, plus President Yuan has gone west, and a group of Beiyang old people led by Duan Qirui have already voted for Nanjing, even if there is still one Hubei Duan Zhigui left, but there is no way to resist the general trend of the unification of the national army." In addition, with the troops that the Nationalist Army has hoarded in the Beijing-Tianjin area, Shanhaiguan, Tangshan, and other places, if the Nationalist Army wants to advance into the northeast, it is absolutely not something that our 27th Division can resist. ”

"There is not only one 27th Division in the northeast, but also the 28th Division in Quang Ninh! In addition, the 3rd and 4th Mixed Brigades are also still there! Zhang Jinghui, who was one of the five commanders of the 27th Division, also spoke at this time.

However, as soon as his words fell, Tang Yulin, the commander of the 52nd Brigade, also spoke: "The 28th Division under Supervisor Feng has never been at odds with us, and the contradictions between them have not been small in the past few years. As for the two mixed brigades, although they have the name of the Central Army, they are just personnel and guns, but they are just empty shelves, and if they really want to fight, they can't even stop a regiment! ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yulin turned his head to Zhang Zuolin and said: "Overseer, although the northeast is big, if we resist, once the national army marches in a big way, I am afraid that there will be no place for us to stand at that time!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang also spoke: "In addition to our side, Wu Junsheng has long been in love with Nanjing, as soon as Yanjing City was taken, he Wu Junsheng issued a telegram in support of Nanjing, then Chen Jingyun was also generous, and he actually made a move with the establishment of a cavalry division and the rank of a lieutenant general." Moreover, according to the spies' report, Wu Junsheng's Second Cavalry Division has left the station, if the guess is correct, they should be coming to our side! Wu Junsheng made such a move, obviously to cooperate with the national army troops on the Shanhaiguan side. ”

Some said that they were stubborn to the end, some said that they wanted to borrow from me, and some said that they wanted to unite with Feng Delin's 28th Division and Wu Junsheng's cavalry to jointly resist the eastward advance of the national army. Listening to these words not only made Zhang Zuolin settle down, but he hesitated even more in his heart.

Like other rising warlords, Zhang Zuolin's rise road is paved with corpses, he was born as a bandit and was not drowned in the dust of history like other Northeast bandits, but in the late Qing Dynasty, he seized the banner of Zhao'an and then entered the military circles, and became the commander of the middle road of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, and after Xinhai, the middle road of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion was reorganized into the 27th Division, and he also became the commander of the 27th Division, with the rank of lieutenant general, and led his troops to be stationed in Fengtian, Together with Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division stationed in Quang Ninh, he became the two major warlords in the northeast, and also became a sworn enemy. Feng Delin was born as a bandit like Zhang Zuolin, the difference is that in the Russo-Russian War, Zhang Zuolin helped whoever gave benefits, and he fought both the Russian army and the Chinese army. Feng Delin, on the other hand, helped the Japanese army fight the Russian army from the beginning and joined the East Asian Volunteer Army, and then received a Treasure Star Medal from the Emperor. After the Xinhai Revolution, he said, "I implemented the north-south plan, supported Chen Jingyun in the south, and at the same time selected warlords in the northeast to carry out limited support, and the main target was Feng Delin, but I also supported Zhang Zuolin."

Later, with the tense war in the south, Yuan Shikai dropped the 20th and 23rd divisions of the Beiyang lineage that were originally stationed in the northeast into the south, although the 3rd Mixed Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade were also established in the northeast to supplement the vacancies, but the two mixed brigades were short of soldiers and food for almost two years, but they have been an empty shelf. This made Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division and Feng Delin's 28th Division the largest military force in the Northeast, and of course, the Fengtian Second Cavalry Brigade under Wu Junsheng was also a large combat force.

Later, Zhang Zuolin also successfully obtained the position of Fengtian Supervisor, thus becoming the nominal largest warlord in the Northeast, but now he can still control only one 27th Division, not to mention the rest, the 28th Division under Feng Delin, the Fengtian Military Affairs Supervisor, is quite wrong with him.

In order to compete for the Northeast in the past two years, the two have engaged in a series of open and secret battles, but neither of them can help anyone.

However, before Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin in the northeast could divide the victory or defeat, Yanjing had already been captured by the Nationalist Army, and Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong led the so-called second north-south peace talks with Nanjing, announcing that the two sides would form a joint political axe, and Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui and a large number of other original Beiyang high-level officials served as senior officials of the Nanjing Republican political axe. Zhang Zuolin knew very well that this was ostensibly about peace talks between the north and the south and the formation of a joint political axe, but in fact he was surrendered by Beiyang. Otherwise, this is clearly talking about the formation of a joint political axe, how can it be that except for Li Yuanhong as a vice president, other important departments have not even been able to get the position of a general director or even a deputy director, and even Duan Qirui is only serving as a permanent deputy director of the general staff.

The defeat of Beiyang also put Zhang Zuolin in the northeast into a dilemma, after the Nationalist Army captured Yanjing, Chen Jingyun naturally would not let the troops stop the pace. The Nationalist Army ordered the establishment of the Tenth Army, dispatched the Second Division, the Fourth Division, and the 27th Division of Xu Shuzheng, which was reorganized from the Beiyang Surrender Army, into its command, and promoted Xu Jingqing to lieutenant general and assumed the post of commander of the Tenth Army.

When he used military means to directly enter the Northeast, Chen Jingyun did not forget to use political means to win over many warlords in the Northeast, and the current warlords in the Northeast are not monolithic, with Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin, Wu Junsheng and many other small warlords. This situation is very similar to Sichuan, so Chen Jingyun does not plan to deal with the affairs of the Northeast with the same set of dealing with Yan Xishan in Shaanxi, although the overall strength of Yan Xishan in Shanxi is not strong, but the people control the whole province anyway, and the two divisions and two brigades under his command have a certain combat effectiveness.

As for the Northeast, now the warlords are scattered, and the Northeast region not only has these small warlords but also has a large number of garrisons in the Northeast and Russia, in the face of such a complicated situation, Chen Jingyun is absolutely unwilling to let the Northeast also deal with the state of half-reading, and a hard attack is not a good strategy, so Chen Jingyun is using the means of winning over and dividing, pulling a group, fighting a group, and avoiding military friction with the Russians in the Northeast and himself to the greatest extent.

Chen Jingyun has this kind of thought, and the people below quickly found the warlords in the Northeast to win over, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, the two major warlords, are naturally not easy to woo, but it is not without any gain, and this harvest is Wu Junsheng.

Unlike Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, who were born bandits, Wu Junsheng was born as a soldier, joined the Liaoyuan Capture and Robbery Camp at the age of seventeen, and was incorporated into the cavalry three years later, thus beginning his cavalry career, and made contributions to participating in many anti-bandit operations, and by 1908, he had been promoted to the commander of the back road of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion. After Xinhai, Yuan Shikai ordered the reorganization of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, in addition to reorganizing the middle road of Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian Patrol Battalion into the 27th Division, and Feng Delin's left road of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion was reorganized into the 28th Division, and the cavalry part of the rear road of Wu Junsheng's Fengtian Patrol Battalion was also reorganized into the Second Cavalry Brigade. And Wu Junsheng concurrently served as the brigade commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade. Coupled with the unchanged right flank of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, these four parts of the military force are the current main military forces in the Northeast.

Wu Junsheng repelled the attack of the Mongol rebels in the first year of the Republic of China, suppressed the rebellion of the Zongshe Party in the second year of the Republic of China, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in the third year of the Republic of China.

This person's resume made Chen Jingyun have a good impression of him, so Chen Jingyun gave him very generous conditions. The rank of the army, and the back road of the Fengtian patrol battalion and the second cavalry of Fengtian were combined into a cavalry division, and the number of the second cavalry division of the army was given, which was placed under the command of the tenth army. As for the number of the First Cavalry Division of the Army, it has been used up by the Nationalist Army, and the First Cavalry Regiment of Reading under the First Army of the Nationalist Army and the remnants of the Beiyang Cavalry that were originally incorporated were combined into the First Cavalry Division of the Army.

Faced with Chen Jingyun's conditions, Wu Junsheng agreed without much hesitation, and had already led the troops to leave the station, preparing to cooperate with the two infantry divisions of the National Army preparing to march into the northeast for military operations.

And this military operation is naturally aimed at the local warlords in the northeast who are so unwilling to accept Nanjing's appeasement, and Zhang Zuolin is undoubtedly one of the two biggest targets.

Facing the pressing of the Tenth Army of the National Army, Zhang Zuolin was extremely worried. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was impossible to resist the Nationalist Army, but the conditions offered by the Nationalist Army were really difficult for him to accept.
