One day after Yang Qiu arrived in Nanjing as an inspector of the eight southwestern provinces, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, and chairman of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, he proposed to convene an extraordinary parliament to abolish Zhao Bingjun's post as general manager and to be reorganized by the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang.

This declaration is undoubtedly a big surprise, because everyone thinks that this strongman who is accustomed to solving problems by military means must be a big gun after he returns, but he did not expect that he actually took up the weapon of the law first and put on a humble gentleman's posture.

"Grass ***!"

In the headquarters of the First Army of Beiyang, Wang Jinjing, the commander of the 2nd Division, slammed the newspaper on the table, pointed and scolded: "What a, I actually want to impeach the president, and I want us all to step down, and I don't know how many pounds and taels I have after a few battles!" ”

Xinyang is not as developed as the southern newspapers, and even inferior to Hankou, but the train from Luoyang can still bring some news every day, although it lags behind for two or three days, the officers can still grasp the changes in the outside world, but these news are limited to senior officers, after all, this matter is too important, once it is leaked, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.

Seeing him angry, Chen Eun didn't see him, and picked up the newspaper and read it.

"Commander, when are we going to fight? It's always like this, and it costs hundreds of taels of food just to eat every day! "Jin Yunpeng is also a standard Qiu Baye, born in a poor family, like most soldiers, with a ruffian, don't look at the meaning of asking, but his tone is full of resentment. This resentment also affected Wang Jinjing, who squinted at the young Chen Eun and shouted: "Chief Duan has already sent 6 cannons from the Praetorian Guard, and Wusheng Pass is not a difficult Xiongguan, why don't you send troops for a long time?" ”

His words are already obviously accusatory, according to the level, he is just the division commander, and Chen Eun is the army commander, this kind of words alone can make him suffer from the military stick, but he is the old Beiyang lineage, he has never put Chen Eun in his eyes, and muttered: "If you don't fight again, Lao Tzu's soldiers will be rusty!" Made, I think someone wants to take refuge with that big-tailed wolf! ”

Chen Eun, who was reading the newspaper, changed his face slightly, his lips squirmed a few times and then pressed down stiffly, he knew in his heart that these old Beiyang looked down on him at all, Yuan Shikai arranged himself here to add some fresh blood, but in fact, it was not as comfortable as a staff officer in Beijing. What's more, it's not that he doesn't want to fight, but he doesn't have the money to fight at all, don't look at the arms are enough to consume at one time, but this month's salary has not been sent yet, and even if the soldiers who have no money go up, they don't have the heart to work hard.

Wu Peifu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't get used to the arrogance of the two, although he didn't like Chen Yansi's way of thinking forward and backward, but compared to these Qiu Baye, he was obviously much more restrained, and hummed: "The enemy should work together at present, not to dismantle the platform!" See what you are before you speak! ”

Wang Jinjing became angry when he heard it, he was indeed a bit tricky as the division commander, originally Yuan Shikai liked He Peirong, and later he took Duan Qirui's path to become the division commander, this matter is not a secret in Beiyang, even Jin Yunpeng became the division commander in this way, so these two sentences are equivalent to offending both of them at once, patting the table and scolding: "Wu Ziyu ()!" What the are you, didn't you just beat a water dog in Xuzhou? When I arrived in Xiangyang, I wasn't kicked out! ”

Wu Peifu looked at him coldly, and sneered: "I don't have the ability, but I haven't seen anything great about you Wang Jinjing, Wushengguan is in front, and it just happened that the repair is still bad, if you really have the ability, take the second division to gnaw it down." ”

"Do you think Lao Tzu wouldn't dare!" Wang Jinjing glared angrily. The mouth is hard but the feet seem to have roots, he is not stupid, there are several more artillery regiments behind Wushengguan recently, and there is a large array of machine guns, and a division without support rushes up, which is not enough for people to bomb.

Looking at the noisy three people, Chen Eun secretly sighed in his heart, Wang Jinjing and Jin Yunpeng relied on Duan Qirui's support, and they were old men in Beiyang, and they were used to being in the first army, Wu Peifu was not a good person, a guy who was proud of himself and was high, he was okay to fight but he was extremely unsociable, as for Shi Congbin of the Shaanxi 7th Division who had been angry with Zhang Fenghui since he went to Xi'an, he didn't listen to his own dispatch at all, and the 19th Division was a new division, whether he could fight or not was still a problem, and it was really not a good errand to pinch these people together.

Chen Eun snorted, put down the newspaper and was about to speak, Xu Shuzheng, who had shaved short hair, walked in from outside, he was from Jiangsu, and Wu Peifu was a typical literati in the army, known as Zhiduoxing in Beiyang, this time he came out because the first army was in urgent need of staff officers, so he asked Yuan Shikai for this person to be transferred to listen to it.

Xu Shuzheng entered the house and saw several division commanders arguing, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't make any noise, go out and have a look, it's going to be a ruckus!" ”

Wu Peifu was the first to rush out of the command post, because he knew that Xu Shuzheng had studied poetry and books hard since he was a child, and he was not panicked and relatively calm, and it was definitely a big deal to be able to say a word from him, but when he walked out of the command post, he immediately felt as if hundreds of mibees were stuffed in his ear drums, and when he looked up, he was stunned.

Chen Huan and the others who ran out immediately after them also widened their eyes, only to see seven or eight planes appear in the sky at once. In normal times, Wehrmacht planes also come often, but they are all one by one, and this time there are so many sorties at once, it looks like a small dark cloud coming over the top.

Almost as if the conditions were in response, all the officers drew their pistols, and the guards raised their guns to greet them, but this time they flew too high, and a full height of thousands of meters could only be a waste of bullets, and before everyone could understand why the Wehrmacht had dispatched so many planes at once, they saw that the planes began to go down one by one, and the "baggage" in the telescope did not look large, and there was no smoke and fire.

"Made, what the hell? Have you come to send a letter to pray for peace? Wang Jinjing's muttering words provoked a ridicule, will the Wehrmacht sue for peace? Dream well, it's good if the cannon doesn't come!

Chen Eun looked at the burden blankly, and suddenly had an extremely bad feeling, but he couldn't make sense, just as he was about to let people shoot at the burden a few times, the burden was pulled by the thin thread attached to the plane and suddenly dispersed, and a ball of paper flew out of it. Although the planes of this year could not carry many things, dozens of kilograms of leaflets could still be stuffed, and seven or eight planes swept over Xinyang in a row, as if it was snowfall.

"What's that?"

"Quick, there's one over there."

"Give me one."

The tens of thousands of Beiyang soldiers stationed in Xinyang were all attracted by this vision, and since they did not find any danger, many began to loot the pieces of paper. It happened that a piece of paper flew towards this side, and several guards immediately chased after it and handed it to Chen Yan.

"Hey, I didn't think this thing could do this." Wang Jinjing didn't notice anything unusual, and stabbed Xu Shuzheng with his arm and said with a smile: "Tie Shan (Xu Shuzheng), didn't the president also buy a few to play?" You send a telegram and let them come here, you can't let those big-tailed wolves "" on our heads every day. ”

Xu Shuzheng is a junior, how can he compare with these arrogant soldiers, after laughing dryly, he walked to Chen Yan's side, and found that his face suddenly became very wrong, and quickly stretched his neck to look at the flyer, but it was these two eyes that made him gasp. Because these pieces of paper are printed with secret contracts of betrayal that no one knows the truth of, and the details of Yuan Keding's money to assassinate Yang Qiu and Zhao Bingjun's killing of Song Jiaoren are also written in detail.

He has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he was a talent at the age of 13, how could he not understand the consequences of these things being stabbed! Looking up at the group of planes in the sky that were starting to return home, a chill rose from the center of his feet, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a lot.

They all know these things on the leaflet, but the soldiers are still in the dark, after all, the news is not developed here, not to mention that Chen Eun also issued a gag order, even Wang Jinjing and these people don't dare to talk nonsense on this matter, but now looking at the soldiers who are still grabbing the leaflets around him, Xu Shuzheng's heart suddenly sank like ice, this time I'm afraid I can't hold the fire!

Lian Wang Jinjing forgot about the previous dispute, gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, quickly order the collection of leaflets!" This matter must be strictly sealed, otherwise it will definitely shake the morale of the army! ”

"No!" Chen Yan shook his head with a dark face, and after reading the leaflet, he knew that something was wrong. The army is a closed group, and the gossip in such a group tends to spread quickly, and although there are not many leaflets dropped by the plane, he believes that it will spread throughout Xinyang in a few moments. So he didn't agree to Wang Jinjing, because the more this kind of thing is covered up, the more troublesome it is, and the more the blockade soldiers will feel, the more truth they will feel.

Wang Jinjing didn't understand this truth, and felt that he should forcibly suppress this matter according to the old habit, so when he saw that he didn't order the confiscation, he crooked his nose and scolded: "Chen Er'an! Lao Tzu knows that you can't be trusted, this matter is related to the president and our reputation in Beiyang, how can you let gossip spread in the barracks? If it messes up the morale of the army and shakes the fundamentals, who will bear this responsibility! ”

"Shut up!" Chen Eun is also on fire, since he became the commander of this army, these old Beiyang have not stopped for a day, not to mention that once this matter is not handled well, it will shake the morale of the army, glaring at Wang Jinjing and others and said to Xu Shuzheng: "Pass my order, let all the officers above the battalion commander come to the military headquarters for a meeting!" ”

"It's a! If you want to open it, open it yourself, Lao Tzu has to go back to collect the leaflets, this thing must not be left! Wang Jinjing relied on Duan Qirui's backstage, and he couldn't get used to these juniors for a long time, and seeing that he didn't listen to the advice and wanted to have a meeting, he simply patted his ass and went back to do his own thing. As soon as he left, Jin Yunpeng also left, Wu Peifu originally wanted to stay, but his Eighth Division was stationed in Xinye, and there were also aircraft activities from time to time, so he had to rush back to sit in the town, so he had to shake his head and leave.

Looking at the backs of their respective departures, Xu Shuzheng's face was extremely unnatural, and then he looked at the corners of Chen Yan's eyebrows, and even showed cyan, and after kicking an empty ammunition box away, he threw the propaganda leaflet into the arms of the guards: "Send a telegram to Beijing, asking for permission to attack in advance!" ”！。
