Wang Lifa, the shopkeeper of the Lixiang Teahouse near Beijing's Dongzhi Gate, opened the door early and ran south with a group of soldiers walking at neat steps.

"Shopkeeper Wang, morning." The fourth master of the year walked over with a birdcage.

"You're here, please take a seat." Wang Lifa made a relocation.

The fourth master of the year also moved back, and said with a sad face: "No way, my mother-in-law is making trouble to hang herself, hang it, you say that you have to hang yourself in front of me, isn't this a taboo for me?" This old lady should clean up, just clean up, you clean up a meal or two, the old lady is not honest, hey! Just like you, give her three points of color and open a dyeing shop for me. Do you think that's the reason? ”

Beijingers love to be verbose, and the fourth master of the year is in a bad mood, and when he is in a good mood, he can say that he has not finished a day and a night. After sitting down, Fourth Master Nian suddenly whispered: "Boss Wang, let me tell you a secret, tell you, no one knows this secret, only I know." I told you only because I had a heart with you, if I don't talk to you, who told you this, did you say? Boss Wang, this secret only reaches your ears, not the ears of a third person, otherwise you will be killed. ”

Wang Lifa hurriedly said: "Fourth Master Nian, you can wait, you sue me this time, and you will kill me again, aren't you harming me?" And you said to have a heart with me, you have to bring me some benefits or something, right? ”

The fourth master said: "You come here, this is a good thing and a bad thing, hurry up and come here, can I still eat you?" ”

Wang Lifa sat down, and the fourth master said, "Do you know what kind of reincarnation this martial general is?" ”

"What reincarnation?"

"That's the reincarnation of Zi Weixing. The subordinates are generally single eight generals, and the top ones are all heroes. "The fourth master of the year is drooling, not more than a while. A few idle masters also walked in, and when they saw that the fourth master was boasting, they all came over, and the fourth master didn't care about any secrets, so he said: "Ziweixing Nether, what is the situation, that is the first emperor of the ages." Boss Wang, I, you don't want to do business now. Close the door and go directly to join the army, and you will also be a person who worships the king in the future. ”

Wang Lifa smiled bitterly: "I have a lot of wives and children, and I still pay homage to the king, why don't you go?" ”

The number of people in the teahouse gradually increased, and a few idlers shouted: "Fourth Master, you should also go." Your ancestor is Baturu. ”

"Yes, Fourth Master Nian, your ancestors are the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty."

The fourth master of the year flicked his sleeves and shouted: "You and I, with small thin arms and thin legs, can you do it?" In the early years, the family had money to smoke and ruin the body, and then the family had no money to smoke and couldn't afford to smoke, so the body was better. Now he lives on the rent of a few houses left by his ancestors. However, if the fourth master of Nian is allowed to fight, it will be really difficult for him to die, and it is estimated that he will be scared to death when he shoots.

A few people were chatting, and suddenly someone asked, "Why haven't the soldiers outside finished yet?" How many soldiers does this generalissimo have there? ”

It was the fourth master of the year who stretched his little slender neck and said, "I'll tell you a secret, this generalissimo's soldiers." There is a ...... "Everyone brushed their sleeves away, and the fourth master will tell you a secret at every turn this year." There are so many secrets in the world that he knows.

A child suddenly stood outside the door and shouted, "What's that?" What's in the sky? Everyone hurriedly ran out of the door, but saw that above the city of Beijing, many airships flew in dark clouds, and everyone was frightened enough, and some hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted Guanyin Bodhisattva's blessing.

Nian Siye and the others hurriedly ran out, sat on the ground with a loud shout, and exclaimed: "Eh, mom, heavenly soldiers!" ”

At this time, many leaflets were suddenly distributed on the airship, and the citizens hurriedly picked them up, thinking that they were immortal objects, but they wrote on the paper: "Wang Maoru, a martial general, unifies China, and is like a bamboo, if there is a violator, he will not wait!" The people who knew how to read immediately began to read it, and when they had finished reading, they looked at each other, and one of them suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live General Shangwu!" Everyone was deeply affected and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted.

On the airship, Ma Liang, director of the Propaganda Division, Zhao Baochang and Zhang Danian, laughed, and Ma Liang said: "Lao Zhao, your method really works." Zhao Baochang said: "The people are ignorant, no matter how much persuasion is useless, relying on this means is the fastest and most effective." ”

Ma Liang smiled: "Brothers, for the sake of being handsome, cheers." ”

"Cheers to show off your handsomeness!" Zhao Baochang and Zhang Danian raised their glasses together.

In the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, a fourteen-year-old boy looked curiously at the airship in the sky and shouted: "Eniang, Eniang, you, you are fast, what are you?" Is it a heavenly soldier? ”

Ouchi's guards hurriedly ran over and covered the boy tightly, and the boy shouted, "It's fun, it's fun." "It is rare to reveal the innocent nature of a young man.

Seeing this, several palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but sigh

Angry, the emperor was born at a bad time, and now he is young in the palace and doesn't know, if he is old, he will feel that this is not the palace, this is a big prison. It's just that the current boy is running and chasing the airship in the sky, shouting happily.

Suddenly, a propaganda leaflet floated down, the young emperor grabbed the propaganda leaflet, and several other old eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly ran over, and the thin young man read it carefully, and said to himself: "Is General Shangwu really a person that the gods are afraid of?" The guards on the side, the guards didn't dare to speak, but the old eunuch said: "It is this person who controls the world at this time." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Ouchi's guard shouted.

The old eunuch sighed and said no more, the world's major affairs are not as interesting as the little emperor imprisoned in the Forbidden City, and the airship in the sky. Sure enough, the little emperor was not interested in the world, but pointed to the airship in the sky and asked curiously: "Those are all Shangwu generals?" ”

"Yes."

"Can you ask him for one?" The little emperor thought out of whimsy and said, "He has so much, give me one or two, or I will give him money." ”

The old eunuch said: "General Shangwu is the richest in the world, and there is no shortage of money." ”

"And what is he missing?"

"Lacking ......," the old eunuch shook his head, "I really don't know what he lacks." ”

"Otherwise, I will treat him as Baturu, give him a yellow coat to guard with a sword, and allow him to enter the Forbidden City with a knife, this is a great honor, how about you?" The little emperor said innocently.

The palace maids and eunuchs and the guards exchanged words, and they didn't know what to answer, but the little emperor mistakenly thought that everyone agreed with his Jianyi, and said happily: "Ahli, you go and pass the decree and announce that General Shangwu will enter the palace." "Everyone opens their mouths wide, and General Xuan Shangwu enters the palace? This little emperor is crazy, right? General Shangwu was not sealed by the Qing Dynasty, but by the government of the Republic of China, and people don't listen to you at all.

When Wang Mao ordered the army to go south, the ideas of the various factions within the direct line were not harmonious and unified, and the Zhuan faction (Zhuhe faction) headed by Wang Yaobin believed that the army should go south to occupy Anhui, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and immediately put down the rebellion in Jiangsu, stick to the advantages of the Yangtze River Valley, temporarily preserve the strength and abandon Zhili and Shandong to form a north-south confrontation situation. However, the main battle faction led by Wu Peifu believed that although the time had not yet come for a full-scale war with the Wehrmacht, if they were frightened by their southward movement, there would be no need to fight in the future. Wu Peifu believed that the national defense force should be duel, and as long as the central government was concerned, Jiangsu would be pacified immediately. However, Wang Yaobin and others believed that they should immediately move south to occupy Jiangsu first, and it was not appropriate to duel with the National Defense Army for the time being, and they should unite with Zhang Zuolin, the Southern Kuomintang, and Feng Zhi before fighting a decisive battle with the National Defense Army.

Just when the internal quarrel within the immediate family was squabbling, the Jiangsu Civil War broke out, and the Sixth Division of the Beiyang Army, which was subordinate to Qi Xieyuan, was killed in the face of their division commander Qi Xieyuan, and vowed to fight to Nanjing. After the death of his opponent Qi Xieyuan, Feng Yinbin immediately convened a meeting of all the officers and dignitaries in Nanjing City, and publicly recommended Yang Chunpu, the veteran envoy of Su Changzhen, to serve as the post. And Li Tingyu, the chief of staff of the Jiangsu Army, whom Feng Yinbin had always hoped to recommend, felt that Feng Yinbin was not a good master because he shot Qi Xieyuan, so he abandoned him and returned to his hometown in Tianjin.

Yang Chunpu belongs to the type of wall grass, and in the face of the aggressiveness of the Sixth Division, Yang Chunpu would only send a messenger to the Sixth Division to say that Qi Xieyuan committed suicide and had nothing to do with him. Of course, these are all rabbit-headed lice, and everyone knows that Feng Yinbin shot Qi Xieyuan. In order to take revenge, the Beiyang Sixth Division jointly elected Gong Bangduo as the commander of the Beiyang Sixth Division, and formed a rebel army to march south from Xuzhou. In order to shirk his responsibility, Yang Chunpu also handed over the command of his army to Feng Yinbin, who was only 22 years old, and ordered him to organize the army to counterattack. Feng Yinbin was one head and two big, and marching and fighting was not what he was good at, so he telegraphed to the General Staff of the Wehrmacht for help.

Wang Maoru thought about it for a while, and then said to Xu Shichang that the rebellion in Jiangsu was a group of dragons without a leader, and now he has asked a new Jiangsu overseer. Xu Shichang considered several candidates who were not suitable, and finally thought of a person who he thought was quite suitable, that is, Zhang Jian, a native of Nantong, was a native of Jiangsu, and he used to work in the Beiyang government, and the most important thing is that his relationship is very complete. As the only designated military uniform system of the Wehrmacht, Zhang Jian has a close relationship with the Wehrmacht. On the occasion of the Great War between the Southern Revolutionary Party and the warlords in the north, Zhang Jian demanded that the two sides not cross Nantong, and the two sides tacitly agreed not to pass through Nantong, which is enough to show Zhang Jian's energy. Subsequently, Xu Shichang appointed Zhang Jian as the governor of Jiangsu Province, and Wang Maoru also agreed to this appointment, but it was a pity that the old man in his 60s traveled to Nanjing to reconcile.

Gong Bangduo clearly played the title of rebellion, but in fact, in order to seize the post of overseer of Jiangsu, the Sixth Division was very strong, and fought until the city of Nanjing. However, it only reached the city of Nanjing, and encountered the fortified city of Nanjing, and the Sixth Division launched several attacks but was defeated by the Jiangsu Army of the Feng faction, which was firmly defending, and at the same time, Wang Mao ordered the Wehrmacht Coast Guard to immediately go south at full speed to support the Nanjing Campaign.
