The Jilin Chamber of Commerce announced the use of the ticket to settle and abandon the Ji ticket, which was a super big blow to Meng Enyuan, and directly smashed him. If this is really done, there is no doubt that the auspicious ticket will become a pile of waste paper in an instant, and what else will Lao Meng use to control Jilin, so in the face of such a ruthless attack, Meng Enyuan can hardly bear it.

He immediately asked Gao Shiwei to mobilize the army and wanted to fight with Zhang Zuolin, but Meng Enyuan was still very sober and had to solve the civil strife first, and then he could concentrate Liliang to deal with Zhang Zuolin, so he asked Gao Shiwei to seal the general chamber of commerce first, disperse the marching students, and then strengthen the defense of the Jifeng border Liliang.

When he was making his deployment, an alarm suddenly came, and it turned out that Zhang Zuolin sent the First Brigade of the Garrison Division north to the Siping area in the name of suppressing bandits.

The speed of the Feng army was even faster than expected, and almost as soon as they announced the order, a large number of scouts appeared on the Jibong border. The liaison team that was originally in Changchun had already withdrawn to Fengtian, and at this time, it happened to be the vanguard of the garrison division, and they pressed towards Meng Enyuan together.

Meng Enyuan also saw through it, Lao Zhang had already prepared, pressing step by step, working together inside and outside, almost forcing Meng Enyuan into a corner!

"Uncle, at this point, there is nothing more to say, there is only one way, that is, to fight, fight hard, defeat the Feng army, we can turn the crisis into safety, and Zhang Xiaoman can't be polite."

Hearing this, Meng Enyuan lowered his head and thought about it again, and then asked, "Wuru, are you sure to defeat Zhang Zuolin?" ”

"No problem, uncle, don't worry, my subordinates are all tiger and wolf divisions, and they are not comparable to the bandits of the Feng army at all, as long as there is a war, we will win."

"You can't underestimate the enemy!" Wu Tai'an on the side said: "What fights for war is financial resources. At this point, we can't catch up with Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin has strong troops and sufficient financial resources, we don't have enough preparations, don't want to win the Fengtian army at all. I think it's better to find the Japanese, let them give a little ammunition, and with enough guns and ammunition, we can fight hard. ”

When Meng Enyuan and Gao Shiwei heard this, they both nodded, after all, this time it was the Japanese who provoked the incident. As a result, it has developed to the point where it is now, Lao Meng is almost on the verge of life and death, and they can't help but make a move.

Gao Shiwei had no choice but to follow his uncle's instructions to find the support of the Japanese, and of course Meng Enyuan also knew that military preparations were not enough. It is also necessary to report Zhang Zuolin's vain attempt to invade Jilin by force, and win Duan Qirui's support.

After all, since Duan Zhigui was driven back to Guannai. Among the real power factions in the entire three eastern provinces. Only Meng Enyuan is the old Beiyang, if his nail is removed, Beiyang will have no strength in the Northeast, and he can only watch Zhang Zuolin dominate the three eastern provinces, which is definitely what Duan Qirui does not want to see.

Therefore, Meng Enyuan was ready to ask Duan Qirui for support, just when Meng Enyuan was actively preparing. Zhang Zuoxiang personally led the First Brigade of the Garrison Division to approach the Siping area, and the predecessor of the First Brigade was the Independent Brigade, which was a unit trained by Zhang Tinglan and had been baptized by several wars. This unit has grown rapidly, and not only is it well-equipped, but the training of its soldiers is second to none among the Feng army.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Zhang Tinglan vigorously promoted the work of reading and literacy, and now there have been certain results, after more than half a year of study, the soldiers who originally had some cultural foundation can now easily read all kinds of documents, and can also draw maps, and the soldiers with stronger learning ability have been able to draw up simple combat jihua and write combat summaries.

This kind of progress has brought about an exponential improvement in the quality of the soldiers, the command of the entire army has become smoother, the soldiers have become more proactive, and the tasks have been completed more perfectly.

It is necessary to use the latest concepts and training methods, and the most important thing is to use new people, so that the army can be reborn and changed.

In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang was also a little lucky, fortunately Tang Yulin was unwilling to serve as the brigade commander of the independent brigade, and as a result, he picked up a bargain, and now the garrison division can be called a trump card of the Feng army.

The two armies of Ji Feng were mobilized on a large scale, and the clouds of war once again shrouded the sky over the three eastern provinces, the news reached Beijing, Duan Qirui was also shocked, he has just become the prime minister of the cabinet, and the southern protector army is still constantly attacking, although the old Yuan has abdicated, but Tang Jiyao and others still do not give up, and want to completely overthrow Yuan Shikai.

At this time, everyone understood that it was false to overthrow Yuan Shikai, and it was true to take the entire Beiyang and replace it, so Duan Qirui was calling on the generals of Beiyang to unite and jointly eliminate the warlords in the southwest. Zhang Xun, who was promoted to the patrol envoy of Mongolia, also relied on his qualifications and prestige at this time to convene the thirteen provinces alliance meeting to jointly send troops to crusade against the southwest.

At this juncture, if there is a battle between Ji Feng, it will have an extremely adverse impact on the overall situation, but Duan Qirui has not been able to mobilize enough troops to stop this crisis, so Lao Duan can only think of other ways, he moved out the old governor of the three eastern provinces, Zhao Erxun.

When Zhao Erxun was in the former Qing Dynasty, he was the governor of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Zuolin's old superior, and now the old man is seventy or eighty years old, and he is burying his head in revising the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he wants to beautify the dead Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It took a lot of effort for Lao Duan to move this old man and let Zhao Erxun go north to stop this conflict.

Zhang Zuolin also got noticed, called everyone under his command over, and said to everyone: "What do you think of the things in front of you, Lao Zhao wants to make peace, do we listen or don't listen?" ”

"Dashuai, the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it." Yang Yuting spoke first: "I think I should act as soon as possible, and I must take down Meng Enyuan, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not easy to find." ”

Sun Liechen pondered on the side for a long time, and then said: "Dashuai, Zhao Erxun represents Duan Qirui after all, if he angers Duan Qirui, it will be a big trouble for us." ”

Sun Liechen's words also made everyone nod frequently, this is a matter of trade-offs, how to decide, it is indeed very difficult, everyone here is talking to each other, not knowing what to do.

"Dashuai, I heard that Yuan Shikai has fallen ill and is bedridden, and he is not far from death." Zhang Tinglan said this at this time, and everyone present was stunned, Lao Yuan was already yesterday's yellow flower, what is worth paying attention to.

But Zhang Zuolin was so keen, he immediately thought of the meaning of Zhang Tinglan's words: "Humble words, do you mean that when the old and the new are alternated in Beiyang, there is no time to take care of the three eastern provinces?" ”

"That's right, as the saying goes, the opportunity must not be lost and never come again, now Lao Duan has not yet grasped full power, Zhang Xun has just arrived in Rehe, and his territory has not been straightened out, and the pigtail army has not been transferred. If they are all ready, Fengtian's situation will be difficult, and Duan Qirui will definitely support Meng Enyuan to oppose us. ”

In history, Zhang Zuolin launched three actions to reverse Meng, which lasted more than four years, and Zuihou only took Meng Enyuan after the cooperation of the Japanese. Meng Enyuan was able to hold on for such a long time, definitely not because Meng Enyuan had a lot of ability, but because Duan Qirui was behind him.

Zhang Tinglan knows very well that Lao Yuan's life is less than a month left, and after a short recovery in Beiyang, it will fall into the hands of the new head Duan Qirui.

"That's right, Marshal, I also support the humble opinion." Yang Yuting said: "This time Gao Shiwei has already colluded with the Japanese, if we don't take Meng Enyuan as soon as possible, with the dual support of Beiyang and the Japanese, if we want to deal with Meng Enyuan, the price will be too great." ”

Indeed, what Yang Yuting said is also a key, on the ground in the northeast, any action must take into account the attitude of the Japanese, this time it is not easy to temporarily suppress the Japanese, if you don't act quickly, the Japanese will turn around and vigorously arm Meng Enyuan, then it will really be a tiger.

Lao Zhang weighed and said again and again: "Let's first perfunctory Zhao Erxun, and then send a telegram to Fu Chen, so that he can make an excuse as soon as possible and use force against the Ji army, and at the same time let Wu Junsheng's cavalry division also mobilize and be ready to assist at any time." ”

Lao Zhang made Zuihou's decision to war, in fact, the horn in front has been blown, Gao Shifu is a high-minded and arrogant person, he has led his subordinates, between Gongzhuling and Yitong, in accordance with the principle of defending the enemy outside the country, their forward troops, the most elite cavalry regiment put in Siping, blocking the Feng army from going north.

Scouts on both sides had actually begun to attack each other, and since they were able to produce pistols, the officers and scouts of the garrison division were the first to be equipped, so the cavalry of the Feng army was usually two long and short, and each carried three grenades.

The firepower is much stronger than that of the Ji army, and when the number of people is about the same, the Ji army is not an opponent at all, even if the Ji army has the upper hand in numbers, the Feng army can calmly retreat with the power of grenades.

After several encounters, the Ji army lost more than seventy scouts, which simply drove Gao Shifu crazy, he had never encountered such a situation, he was bent on revenge, so he ordered to take advantage of the numerical advantage to retaliate against the scouts of the Feng army.

On this day, the Ji army dispatched nearly 200 cavalry to ambush the Feng army, and a group of cavalry of the Feng army had approached the ambush circle, but these Feng troops actually sensed the danger, turned around and ran, which made the Ji army angry, and they immediately chased after it.

Just when the Ji army chased more than ten miles in a row, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, and three huge carriages appeared on the field, each of which was pulled by four horses and galloped wildly, and there were dozens of cavalry around the carriage to protect it.

The Ji army had never seen this kind of thing, and they were all a little confused, they saw that the number of the other party was much smaller than theirs, so they were relieved to charge boldly, but when they were getting closer and closer to the Feng army, they suddenly shot out three tongues of fire from the carriage, and the Ji army that rushed to the forefront in an instant were all shot and fell under the horse.
