The Guangzhou government resolutely sent troops to the Northern Expedition, which became the hottest topic at the moment, and the big newspapers and tabloids reprinted the "Northern Expedition Declaration" one after another, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while.

In the dim times, the Guangzhou government not only pointed the spearhead at the Beiyang government, but also sent a tough signal to the foreign powers, which undoubtedly made the people happy, aroused the righteous indignation of countless people, won a good reputation, and caused a momentum that swept the whole country.

When the news reached Shanghai, the foreigners on the Bund had to restrain their arrogance a little, and the envoys of various countries kept in frequent contact and paid close attention to the development of the situation.

Rather be a peace dog, don't be a troubled person!

For those who only compete for the world, the troubled times are precisely the stage for them to display their means.

In the headquarters of the Feng army, Zhang Zuolin was in a good mood, and his tense face for days finally had some smiles.

Now the Feng army broke through the defense line of the Great Wall and captured Chifeng, and the battle reached a fever pitch, with thousands of soldiers being consumed by artillery fire every day, but both sides had to grit their teeth and hold on.

Compared with the defeat of the Feng army in the first Zhifeng War, the Feng army that made a comeback was extremely tenacious, and its combat effectiveness has indeed been greatly improved, but if there is no turning point, the Feng army may return in vain, after all, Wu Peifu is a difficult bone to gnaw.

"Damn, those people in Guangzhou have made a lot of noise! 200,000 troops! Wu Peifu should have a headache! ”

Zhang Zuolin sneered, and then ordered the troops to step up the offensive - victory is not far away!

Some people are happy and some are sad, Zhang Zuolin's excitement is just the same as Wu Peifu's depression.

Straight Army. In the camp of the Chinese army, Wu Peifu held the telegram from the south in his hand, without saying a word, Yingwu's face was tense, his brows were tightly locked, and he was so gloomy that he was about to drip.

He had just finished inspecting the position and returned to the command headquarters, emitting a faint smell of gunsmoke, and immediately rushed back to the headquarters when he received the news that Guangzhou had sent troops. It's a matter of weight. He had to pay attention.

Wu Peifu responded calmly, although his face was gloomy, he was not flustered at all, and ordered: "Telegraph Xiao Yaonan, stick to the defense line, Wuhan must not afford to lose!" ”

Xiao Yaonan was a general under Wu Peifu, who had experienced a hundred battles, and when Wu Peifu went north to fight. Xiao Yaonan was deliberately left to control the more than 100,000 direct troops in Hunan and Hubei, just to guard against the Liangguang Northern Expedition.

"In addition, the telegram ordered Feng Yuxiang to speed up his journey north, and if he fails to do so, he will be punished by military law!"

Wu Peifu said murderously, since the start of the war. Feng Yuxiang's army has been grinding foreign workers, and he is reluctant to move lightly in the rear, and Wu Peifu is extremely dissatisfied with this.

Although Feng Yuxiang also belongs to the direct army system, he is self-contained. It may not be easy to deal with him, so he can only settle accounts after the autumn. At a very critical moment, Wu Peifu wants to turn away the time bomb of Feng Yuxiang, in case the other party makes trouble, Wu Peifu's back road will be cut off.

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu continued to order: "Order the presidential palace to strengthen surveillance in Beijing." Prevent the rebels from causing trouble. At the same time, the telegram was sent to Sun Yue, commander of the Beijing garrison. ”

Wu Peifu really deserved to be a famous general of a generation, and he gave orders in an orderly manner, and the adjutant did not dare to slack off, so he immediately sent out the telegram.

After the adjutant went out, Wu Peifu calmed down and thought: The situation is urgent, and he can't go down with Feng Jun anymore, and he wants to defeat them in one fell swoop. It is good to draw out his hand and deal with the Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army.

In the past few years, Wu Peifu has not purchased weapons and materials from the Meihua Company, and the development of the military industry in Guangxi and Guangxi has been fruitful, how can Wu Peifu not notice it, but the plan is very big, and Beiyang is full of enemies inside and outside, and before he knocks them down one by one, Wu Peifu has no energy to go south, so he can only secretly guard against them in his heart.

Liangguang is a big enemy, they have sufficient funds and a mature government system, and these two things are exactly what Wu Peifu lacks, after all, he is only a general, and there are many problems that cannot be solved by fighting, such as the boss Cao Kun has become his drag.

Cao Kun openly bribed the election, disregarded the national law as nothing, and lost face in front of the people of the world, the Beijing government greatly lost the will of the people, and the authority of the regime was reduced to the lowest point.

This not only caused the morale of the direct army to be demoralized and the generals in the army to be dissatisfied, but also made the opponent more justified.

Wu Peifu felt like he was racing against time, and a trace of fatigue rose in his heart, and the development of the situation was unsatisfactory, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

In the afternoon, Wu Peifu summoned Zhang Fulai, Peng Shouxin and other fierce generals to a meeting to organize the army's counterattack.

“…… At the critical moment of survival, we can no longer leave a back hand, and all departments are concentrating their forces and preparing for a decisive counterattack! Wu Peifu said resolutely.

Zhang Fulai, Peng Shouxin and other generals are all descendants of Wu Peifu, and they followed Wu Peifu all the way from the Third Division of Beiyang to kill them, and they did not need Wu Peifu to urge them to die.

In the next few days, Wu Peifu supervised the battle in front of the battle, and the direct army fought back desperately, and the erupting energy made the Feng army jealous and did not dare to slack off.

Wu Peifu's order was passed to Feng Yuxiang at Gubeikou, and Feng Yuxiang pouted and sneered: "Wu Peifu can't stand it, he has no time to take care of us now, let him fight with Fengjun!" ”

Feng Yuxiang did not respond after a few polite and perfunctory words in the telegram, and secretly there had been an astonishing change, and the army under his command began to turn their guns and prepare to return to Beijing.

The moment when a conspiracy or a major event is approaching is difficult, time seems to be slowed down little by little, and a solemn pressure rushes in.

Feng Yuxiang anxiously waited for a response from Beijing, but on the surface he was about to pretend to be full of confidence, when an officer with a telegram burst in.

"Marshal, good news, Sun Yue has transferred the army stationed in the Daimyo to Nanyuan, Beijing, and our army has returned to Beijing all the way!"

Feng Yuxiang immediately got up from the chair, grabbed the telegram and looked at it, his body trembled slightly with excitement: "God help me!" ”

"Cao Kun has no way, Wu Peifu is abetting, the country cannot fall into the hands of these people, now is the time for our army to rise up and save the country. He ordered Lu Zhonglin's troops to return to Beijing immediately and join forces with General Sun Yue to take control of Beijing. ”

On October 19, when the front-line direct army was fighting to the death of Feng's army, Feng Yuxiang's troops, who had been squeezed by Wu Peifu, defected to Beijing, and Hu Jingyi's troops, who had been ordered to monitor Feng Yuxiang's troops, joined forces with Sun Yue's troops in Beijing, who had been ordered to do so. Inside should be outside the combination, light yì control zhì Beijing.

The presidential palace was besieged, and Cao Kun was placed under house arrest, ending his clown-like presidency.

Sun Yue walked into the presidential palace and met his old boss Cao Kun, who had not seen him for a few days, from the president with countless scenery to a prisoner, as if falling from the sky to hell, Cao Kun was a few years old, and he couldn't help but resent when he saw Sun Yue. There are still doubts -

"Cao treated you well, promoted you many times in adversity, and handed over the city of Beijing to you, this is how you treated me! Why? ”

"I am grateful to me, but this is a personal favor, and it can't offset my dissatisfaction with what you did, that's righteousness. I have a clear conscience.

If Wu Peifu wins another game, don't say that he won't allow me, even the old handsome you can't tolerate it, right? O high merit and earthquake lord! ”

Sun Yue said calmly.

Wu Peifu is unique in Beiyang, and has a discordant relationship with many old people in Beiyang, Sun Yue is one of them, in fact, the direct line is divided into Cao Kun's Baoding line and Wu Peifu's Luoyang line. The good relationship between Cao and Wu does not mean that there is a dispute of interests between the two factions.

Cao Kun stared at the general who he once trusted so much, and the other party's eyes were open, not evading at all, let alone guilty.

Long. Cao Kun's face was dead, and he sighed with infinite remorse: "Alas. He didn't take you away for my sake! I'm sorry Ziyu......"

On the 23rd, Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue and others jointly issued a telegram calling for peace and launched a "coup d'état in Beijing".

On the 25th, Feng Yuxiang and others held a meeting in Beiyuan, Beijing. It was decided to organize the National Army of the Republic of China, and Feng Yuxiang was elected commander-in-chief and commander of the 1st Army, and Hu and Sun were appointed deputy commander-in-chief and commanders of the 2nd and 3rd armies respectively.

It is said that Feng Yuxiang looked at the little emperor of the Forbidden City very unpleasantly, and was ready to give Pu Yi a little color to see.

The news came out of Beijing, and the earthquake in China's political arena caused almost no public opinion to pay attention to the Northern Expedition, which was in full swing in the south.

The most shocked was Wu Peifu, as early as the day before. Wu Peifu received a telegram from the rear, and the commander of the 16th Brigade stationed in Baoding, Cao Kun's nephew Cao Shijie, sent a telegram that his headquarters was surrounded by unknown troops and his contact with Beijing was cut off.

Wu Peifu was not in a good sense, and suddenly felt that the situation was serious, and desperately contacted the rear, but unfortunately the telegram sent was like a stone in the sea.

At four o'clock in the morning the next morning, while Wu Peifu was still in his dream, the telegraph director broke into his tent with a pale face.

"It's the opposite, Feng Yuxiang and they rebelled." The trembling voice of the telegraph director passed through Wu Peifu's head like a bullet, and he held the telegram, and the sky spun for a while, unable to believe that it was true.

"The country is willing to fight against insults, kill each other, and be ashamed of China and foreign countries...... As the struggle intensifies, the vitality heals, and those in power have a conscience and should promote peace and live with the people's livelihood......

Yuxiang and others hesitated at midnight, wanting to cry without tears, driven by their conscience, to make the idea of the war, decided to return to the division, and united with the various departments to form another Republic of China, vowing to serve the country and the people...... Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue and other 16 people. ”

Boom!

Wu Peifu was so angry that he slammed the table, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Feng-Yu-Xiang!" , I really regret why I didn't kill you in the first place?! ”

Cursing and scolding, he kicked over the table, and the bottles and cans were shattered.

is like a male lion, roaring violently, unwilling, old handsome, old handsome, you are used to a group of white-eyed wolves, they want to cut off the roots of Beiyang! The country I worked so hard to build was completely ruined......

"Shit, I'm going to cut those three bastards with a thousand cuts!"

After Wu Peifu complained, he immediately made a decision, handed over the army to Zhang Fulai's command, and personally led the army back to rescue Beijing.

However, even if he has great resentment, he can't change the fate of failure.

The news of the rebellion of Wu Peifu and others spread, and the soldiers on the front line learned that the back road was cut off, and the morale that had finally been mustered up was like a ball being pierced.

"Damn, Feng Yuxiang finally did a good deed, it's really happy! Erlang, work hard, soon we will enter Beijing City, how can it be my turn to sit in the Central Plains of flowers! ”

I heard that Zhang Zuolin laughed exaggeratedly, and for several days, his beard kept shaking. Well, Feng's army was unstoppable, and with the momentum of breaking bamboo, he followed Wu Peifu's ass and killed him.

The unlucky Wu Peifu came back to ask for the guilt in a menacing manner, but not long after he set off, he didn't arrive in Beijing, and received another bad news, Shanxi sent troops to Shijiazhuang, Yan Xishan, an old fox, held back for so long, and finally lost no time in stretching out his sharp minions and slashing Wu Peifu fiercely.

So. Wu Peifu's intention to transfer troops from the south to the north to support was bankrupt, and in the face of the aggressive joint strangulation of Feng Zhang, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others, not to mention meeting Beijing, it was not safe to hide in Tianjin, like a lost dog, panicked.

"Alas, Wu Ziyu is also a hero of Beiyang, it's a pity!"

Duan Qirui, who had been nesting in the Tianjin Concession, sighed and instructed the doorman to send a post to Wu Peifu to remind Wu Peifu to leave Tianjin.

This is the leader of the anti-direct alliance. Although he doesn't have much strength, he is in a good mood, thinking: Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu are both martial artists, and they don't have the prestige to be presidents, isn't it my old Duan's chance to come out again? After all, it is the world of Beiyang, who else is me!

Guangzhou, Situ Mansion.

The news from the north has not escaped Situ Nan's ears and eyes, and he has not only learned that Feng Yuxiang has defected. Secretly pushed it.

"In the previous life, if this hadn't happened, Wu Peifu shouldn't have lost, right? Wu Peifu, who won again, may he really be able to unify China?

But so what, the Republic of China is like a strange circle, the big warlords are big circles, and there are small warlords below. There are even smaller warlords in the circle of small warlords, no matter how high Wu Peifu's achievements are, he can't compare to Yuan Shikai, right? ”

Situ Nan silently reflected and realized that the expansion of force lacked corresponding construction, even if it was a famous general like Wu Peifu, his power dominated most of China. One defeat is a complete defeat, like a castle built on the desert.

"I have to say, these three guys joined forces, and they really wanted Wu Peifu's life! It just happened that we were cheap, and the front line had just sent a message, and the direct army was vulnerable. The Second Front Army captured Changsha, and Xiao Yaonan is now shrinking the defensive line, shrinking in Wuhan, not daring to go south! ”

Absinthe walked in with a spring breeze on his face, the battle ahead was smooth, and the Ministry of Intelligence had a lot of credit, and his bones were lighter when he walked.

Now Changsha, Hunan has changed hands. Xiao Yaonan's more than 100,000 Beiyang troops had already lost the courage to fight a decisive battle in the face of the well-armed and morale-boosting 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army.

"Is the Guangdong-Hankou Railway alright? Don't let the enemy destroy it! Situ Nan said worriedly. In the final analysis, this railway embodies his hard work, and the US-China consortium invested tens of millions of dollars in its construction, which broke Situ Nan's heartache.

The Beiyang Army did not have time to destroy the railway, but it was frightened by the armored soldiers who suddenly rushed over, and the planes of the Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army bombed their heads in groups, where did they see such a powerful offensive, and the resistance was naturally over.

"Don't worry, the British are more nervous than we are! Which Beiyang Army, which is not long-eyed, dares to sabotage the railway? Except for some damaged parts of the cargo stations along the way, there is no problem.

After our troops captured Changsha, they immediately unsealed the more than 100,000 tons of materials secretly hoarded by the Meihua Company, greatly reducing the logistical pressure. ”

Absinthe reported.

With Situ Nan's achievements, there is no need to pay too much attention to a war in China. Although he didn't like to give instructions, Absinthe knew that the young master liked to hear the news.

Changsha City has become a large military camp, more than a large warehouse, is the logistics supply center of the Northern Expedition Revolutionary Army, the materials and personnel transported from Guangdong are endless, every half hour, there is a train from Guangzhou and even farther Nanning into Changsha Railway Station.

Goods piled up, food, ammunition, medicines, all kinds of advanced equipment, a steady stream of unloading from the car.

The figures of the officers and men of the logistics department who were busy with their notebooks filled the room, directing the transport workers to place the goods in various places, in an orderly and scattered manner.

The workers of Changsha, as well as the routed soldiers who had just laid down their arms, were stimulated by the ocean and joined the loading army one after another.

"Damn, Lao Guang is really rich! When I was fighting in the north, none of the ace troops of the old Beiyang were so wide! ”

A rough man looked at the crate of canned meat that got off the train and said with envy.

"Yes! Fight with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and you can still eat meat every day! The veteran's words were echoed by his peers.

The Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army defeated Zhao Hengti, the overseer of Hunan supported by Wu Peifu, and incorporated many troops, and selected some of them to be the baggage soldiers.

"! I see that Lao Guang's ambition is not small, these days, the train from the south has not stopped, according to the configuration of Beiyang, the materials in Changsha City are enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to eat for half a year! Maybe it's going to Beijing City! ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, I don't want to live! ”

"Do your job! Working for three or five months, plus severance pay, is enough to be a small landlord in my hometown! Ha ha! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! But after running the Beiyang Army, these people in the south are very polite, reasonable, I want to stay in Changsha City to open a noodle restaurant or something, the future will be quiet, there are more and more people, maybe the business is good! ”

……

The Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army was highly disciplined, different from the Beiyang Army, and did not want to exploit the people like other armies, and in just a few days, it won the confidence of the citizens.

Tan Yanmin was so high-spirited that he almost wrote a letter to the forces in Hunan in the posture of receiving a senior member, calling on all localities to join the revolutionary government, and for a while, all localities echoed him.

The Guangzhou government urgently dispatched government officials to major cities such as Hengyang and Changsha to take over local political power, effectively curbing the speculation and rebellion of certain ambitious elements, and creating a great deal of prosperity.

The once-formidable Overseer became the headquarters of the former enemy, and the spirited officers disembarked from the murderous military vehicles and kept moving things inside, and maps, telephones, telegraphs, and more were set up by well-trained soldiers.

Former enemy commander Li Zongren, deputy commander Situ Yong, chief of staff Bai Chongxi, and others sat in the combat conference room, talking about the battle situation.

"Speaking of which, thanks to this railway, well, it is still a double line, which has greatly increased our ability to project troops. The Changsha operation was almost overnight, the Second Front Army and the Ninth Division of the Third Front Army, totaling 70,000 people, annihilated the enemy's main force in the field battle, annihilated 50,000 enemies, and we suffered less than 3,000 casualties, achieving a great victory in Changsha! ”

Bai Chongxi's eyebrows fluttered, when he set off, he had already expected the prospect to be optimistic, but he also didn't expect the enemy to be so vulnerable.

"The armored brigade, as soon as it got off the train, entered the battle, tore through the opponent's defense line lightly, scared the enemy to the point of dissipation, and saved us the hard work of street fighting. More importantly, the morale of our army is flourishing, the morale of the soldiers is vigorous, and with sufficient materials, we can continue to fight and expand the results! ”

Situ Yong said with a smile, not forgetting to praise the armored brigade under his command.

"I built yì, the Second Front Army strode north, took advantage of the enemy's failure to destroy the railway, seized the favorable opportunity, continued to send troops to Hubei, and caught them by surprise."

Situ Yong's face was straight, and his voice was sonorous.

"Good!" Li Zongren looked at Bai Chongxi, who was scorching, and immediately understood. I envy Situ Yong in my heart, but unfortunately the Third Front Army is rushing over from Guangxi, if the war goes well, it may not be able to catch up with the battle in Hubei, and it will enter Jiangxi in the east!

Speaking of which, Wu Peifu was defeated too quickly in the north!
