readx; Xu Shuzheng himself can't pay attention, and Duan Qirui in the rear also can't take the main force, let Xu Shuzheng go to Chuzhou Duan Qirui definitely doesn't want to, Jiangbei south of Chuzhou is Feng Guozhang's territory, this 11th Division will definitely join the Second Army after going to Jiangbei, with Feng Guozhang's ability to win over people and his own prestige, it is not impossible to win over Xu Shuzheng, it is likely to repeat the situation of Tang Tianxi's 10th Division. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In this way, at the beginning, Duan Qirui worked hard to push Xu Shuzheng up, but he made wedding dresses for others, so he didn't let Xu Shuzheng go to Chuzhou, but let Xu Shuzheng go to Huainan, and let him act at the opportunity.

When Xu Shuzheng heard that the Reading Brigade of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army and the Third Division of the Anhui Provincial Army were wiped out by the Nationalist Army in Chaohu, he gasped, and he didn't think that his 11th Division, which had just become an army, could be much stronger than the old Beiyang, Yuan Shikai's confidant and favorite general, and the third division of the Beiyang lineage. The third division fought so fiercely in Hefei, if he rushed forward, could it be that more than 10,000 people under his command would be sent to Hefei.

In addition, Duan Qirui also let him see the opportunity to act, Xu Shuzheng decided to appropriately reinforce Hefei on the premise of preserving his strength, so he sent a brigade to Huainan after stopping in Bengbu, but did not continue to Hefei more than 70 kilometers south away, but stopped and watched the changes.

Duan Qirui didn't want Xu Shuzheng to consume the troops, but it was not without other ways to remedy, the Beiyang War Department had already transferred the 20th Division and the 23rd Division from the northeast, and now the 20th Division had been stationed in Xuzhou, and the 23rd Division had been stationed in Shandong, and it was already preparing to let the 20th Division continue south to Chuzhou to reinforce Jiangbei.

However, the commander of the 20th Division, Pan Juying, was very dissatisfied with this, originally Pan Juying was in the northeast to stay well, but the war in the south became more and more intense, and the Beiyang troops were insufficient, so the 20th and 23rd divisions in the northeast were transferred south. In the battle of Chaohu, the third division of the Anhui Provincial Army and the third division of the Beiyang Army were wiped out, although several generals of the third division of the Anhui Provincial Army fled back, but the life and death of Major General Wang Chengbin, commander of the reading brigade of the third division of the Beiyang Army, is unknown, although the news of his death or capture has not been confirmed, but there has been no news that has passed for a month, it is estimated that he has died in the chaos, and if he is really dead, Then Wang Chengbin is the first general to die in the Beiyang Army, and he is also the first Beiyang descendant general to die. After all, even if Zhang Xun's Eighth Division was completely defeated in the Nanjing Battle last year, and even the major general and brigade commander were captured, at least they were not killed, and the Eighth Division was not considered a Beiyang descendant, just a side army.

This fight was so tragic that it couldn't help but make many Beiyang Army generals in the rear feel furious, after all, no one wanted to be wiped out after going to the battlefield, and even they were killed on the spot.

Originally, Tang Tianxi's 10th Division and Xu Shuzheng's 11th Division were in front, Pan Juying's 20th Division and Meng Enyuan's 23rd Division were in the back, at least in the early stage, there was no need to go to the front line to fight.

However, in order to avoid the consumption of the 11th Division of his descendant Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui suspended the main force of the 11th Division in Bengbu, and only sent a small force to Huainan. In order to fill the vacuum of Xu Shuzheng's southward departure, the 20th Division was dispatched to prepare for Chuzhou.

And this made Pan Juying quite dissatisfied, why are you hiding behind, and let me go up to fight, and this is originally you in front and me behind, how can it be the other way around.

Therefore, Pan Juying was extremely dissatisfied with the transfer order of the War Department, and he was dissatisfied with it, but he also planned to continue to stay in Xuzhou, and there was no sign of continuing to go south for a while.

"Anyway, the south is still fighting, and there are still so many troops in Jiangbei and Anhui, don't worry!" Pan Juying also plans to learn from others, stay in Xuzhou for a period of time, first train the troops, and then expand one or two supplementary regiments.

Although the generals on the Beiyang side were pressed by Yuan Shikai and did not dare to disobey obviously, the attitude of grinding has proved that today, two years after the Wuchang Revolution, Yuan Shikai's control over the original Beiyang troops is declining rapidly.

After all, no one wants to be the next Zhang Xun!

Before the outbreak of the war in southern Jiangsu last year, he Zhang Xun was the commander of the Eighth Division, with nearly 15,000 troops, and the soldiers were well trained and the equipment was not bad. At the beginning, it was the main force in the war in southern Jiangsu, but the eighth division was almost completely wiped out in the war in southern Jiangsu, and only some senior generals and a thousand people fled back. Next, Zhang Xun's status also plummeted, and finally he frustrated and led the remnants back to Qingjiangpu, intensified the looting, and even took out his coffin, Zhang Xun has only now rebuilt a brigade of 5,000 troops, and there is a serious lack of heavy weapons, and the artillery regiment does not even have a shadow, and I heard that the War Department has recently intended to dismantle the Eighth Division and reduce it to a mixed brigade.

Although Zhang Xun is not a descendant of Beiyang, he is only a general of the Beiyang side branch, but now that Zhang Xun has fallen to this fate, the other Beiyang descendants are happy in their eyes, thinking that they can finally get the number of the Eighth Division back. And those side generals, especially those generals of the local provincial army, were extremely worried in their eyes. But whether it is the Beiyang descendant or the side generals, none of them want to follow in the footsteps of Zhang Xun!

The self-preservation of these generals is also the main reason for the disadvantage of the Beiyang Army in the current war in Anhui. If Yuan Shikai could command his subordinate troops at will, just like Chen Jingyun, then he would have already transferred the 11th, 20th, and 23rd divisions to the south, and the situation would inevitably change greatly after the front-line troops were reinforced by these three divisions. But Yuan Shikai can't, if he wants to mobilize troops, there are many things to consider besides military factors.

Even if he had a surplus of troops in his hands, it was impossible to send him directly to Jiangbei for Feng Guozhang to command, Feng Guozhang, who had been in Jiangbei for too long, was already showing signs of gradually breaking out of his control, and it was impossible for him to continue to strengthen the strength of the Second Army, perhaps it would be good to re-establish an army to command other troops.

Yuan Shikai was worried about all kinds of troubles in Beiyang, but Chen Jingyun's mood at this time was extremely good!

The battle in Hefei was going on smoothly, and the Ninth and Eighth Divisions, the main forces of the Second Army, and the Fifth Mixed Brigade in the rear had completed their rest and moved north, and formed a general reserve with the Fifth Division. Yuan Fang had already put forward a general offensive plan and launched a general attack on Hefei within three days, and the General Staff had already approved this plan and mobilized the air force, which had just been stationed in Chaohu, to provide air support to the army units.

Although the 11th Division still lacked an artillery regiment, it was able to exert a certain combat effectiveness for the time being after adding a 120-mm heavy mortar battalion. Since these four mixed brigades were all directly transferred from the troops of the original main division, and they were still transferred into formations, there was no time for new formation and training, and at most it was just some run-in time. As a matter of fact, the 15 th Brigade of these units had already been stationed in Anqing half a month earlier, and the 16 th Mixed Brigade had also been stationed in Wuhu. The two mixed brigades were transferred to the 2nd Division and the Guard Division respectively. And these two troops are in Nanjing, Nanjing is originally a large number of troops, so the impact of the troops in a short period of time will not be too great, plus they can also be transported by river, and they can quickly arrive in Wuhu and Anqing under the escort of the navy, so they will go quickly.

The Zhenjiang Seventh Division, which was transferred from the 17th Mixed Brigade, was deployed later, and now it has only just arrived in Nanjing, preparing to continue westward to Wuhu, while the troops originally deployed in Wuhu are stationed in Chaohu to support the Second Army.

The 18th Mixed Brigade of the 3rd Division was the latest to be formed, and when the 3rd Division was in Guangdong, some troops were transferred to form the 1st Mixed Brigade, so when the troops were transferred this time, they could not all be transferred as a formation, but only half of the troops could be transferred, and then half of the recruits were added. As a result, the 18th Mixed Brigade was unable to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and is now stepping up training in the southern suburbs of Nanjing, and will be transferred to Anhui or Jiangxi when the time is a little later.

From the perspective of the overall situation, the current national army is progressing smoothly, and there is nothing worth worrying about Chen Jingyun, and the progress of the overall military situation naturally makes Chen Jingyun feel a lot of hatred.

Some subordinate officials were a little surprised to see Chen Jingyun's smile, no, after an official who had just come from Hangzhou to report on his work walked out of Chen Jingyun's office, he still felt that the scene just now was a little different from his expectations, he had seen Chen Jingyun before, Chen Jingyun at that time did not have such a good face, and he had a straight face and no other tone when he spoke. But just now, he was smiling, and he encouraged him well.

"Is there something good that can't be done?" The official muttered in his heart, and someone on the other side also muttered from the bottom of his heart: "This person seems to be in a good mood these days!" Is it because of the letter from the United States? ”

After Cai Ning was mentioned by Yu Shifeng as the second secretary, she was able to get in touch with some of Chen Jingyun's affairs, plus her brother was Chen Jingyun's accompanying secretary before, and she also told Cai Ning some things about Cai Ning, at least Cai Ning knew that Chen Jingyun had been communicating with an English woman named Linna for most of the year, and even the sending and receiving of letters in the near future was done by her, although she didn't know what Chen Jingyun and Linna said in the letter, but looking at the density of a letter sent in the past five or six days, Coupled with the smell of perfume sprayed on those envelopes, it is obvious that it is not a discussion of any national affairs, nor can it be an ordinary conversation between ordinary friends, after all, no one will send a letter to the ocean every three or five days.

Based on the sensitivity of the woman, Cai Ning guessed that Chen Jingyun and the British woman named Linna had an ulterior secret, and then sent a telegram to her brother Cai Dan, and asked on the side, but although her brother did not dare to say Chen Jingyun's gossip openly, he still acquiesced in the matter.

"Doesn't he have a wife, and he also has two aunts, isn't that enough to provoke more women? And it's an English woman! Although she studied abroad for several years and let go of her thinking, Cai Ningren couldn't understand the combination of Chinese men and Caucasian women.

Cai Ning, who felt worthless for Lin Yun in her heart, supported her chin with her hand, and her eyes swept over the closed door of Chen Jingyun's office from time to time, and then she remembered some rumors she had inadvertently heard in this passage, the rumors were about her and Chen Jingyun, and many people said that she was Chen Jingyun's new woman, which made Cai Ning a little helpless.

Judging from Chen Jingyun's current appearance, it is obvious that he is not one of those who are supporters of monogamy, but has three wives and four concubines like other men, plus Cai Ning's identity is a little special, it is normal for outsiders to have such suspicions, which makes Cai Ning a little annoyed with Chen Jingyun, if Chen Jingyun only has one wife and no other women, then there will be no such gossip, thinking about it is frowned.

Chen Jingyun looked at the woman in front of him frowning a little strangely, and then said: "Secretary Cai!" ”

After Chen Jingyun's voice sounded, Cai Ning came to his senses, and then turned his head to see Chen Jingyun standing in front of his desk, looking at him with a smile at the moment, as if he was still talking to himself, but he seemed to be much better in this way, much cuter than when he usually had a straight face!
