Chapter 624: Lan Shuai makes a move
After sending Shi Yousan out, Feng Yuxiang fell into trouble, although he captured Xining, but this is the base camp of Qingma. He will go on a killing spree again, which will surely provoke opposition from the Northwest Gunma, and bloodier battles will follow.
It can be said that although he won a start, the next road is getting more and more difficult, Feng Yuxiang also knows that with his small body, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand such a huge pressure, Zhang Guangjian's situation is still vivid, and he must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Feng Yuxiang immediately invited Zhang Zongchang and He Zhuguo over, Zhang Zongchang was a representative sent by Fengjun, and Feng Yuxiang urgently needed the support of Fengjun.
Not long after the herald left, he heard footsteps outside, and Zhang Zongchang and He Guozhu walked side by side. Zhang Zongchang was wearing a hat crookedly, looking untidy, and in his hand, he was holding a dog's thigh, and he was gnawing on his mouth full of oil.
Although He Zhuguo was still stained with gunsmoke, he was still very steady, and as soon as he saw these two people, Feng Yuxiang hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"You two, I've been waiting for a long time, please take a seat."
Zhang Zongchang smiled nonchalantly: "Lao Feng, you have fought a beautiful battle this time, you should celebrate it well, I just have haode dog meat, you can eat two bites!" ”
Saying that, Zhang Zongchang sent the dog's thigh over, Feng Yuxiang frowned when he saw the oil-stained twist, he could only say: "Brother Zhang, let's talk about the business first, although we have captured Xining, what should I do next, I have no bottom in my heart?" ”
"Chief Feng, what's the doubt?" He Zhuguo said puzzledly: "The soldiers are fast, we have copied Qingma's house, the next step is to solve Ningma, the army turned its head and killed Ningxia." Obey orders, save a life, and kill them if you don't obey. ”
When Zhang Zongchang heard it, he was also hahadaxiao: "That's right, listen to Brother He's words, this is called the life of those who obey me and the death of those who oppose me, that's what Lan Shuai explained at the beginning, Lao Feng, you won't be clear, right?" ”
"Of course, of course it is clear." Feng Yuxiang said with a little embarrassment: "It's just that I still have some embarrassment in my heart. Once the Ma Jiajun and their army have played the banner of religion and nationality, they can gather a large number of troops internally, and they can appeal to the government externally. ”
Zhang Zongchang listened to Feng Yuxiang's words. Suddenly, a sneer appeared on his face: "Old Feng, look forward and backward." But what a good habit. I, Zhang Zongchang, have only one principle, whatever Lan Shuai explains, no matter what, must be done well. No, I tossed around in the Far East, and I didn't dare to say anything else. There are no less than dozens of squads that have been set up to assassinate me, but now I am not in a good position. If you think about anything else, it's all redundant! ”
Although Zhang Zongchang seems to be rude, he is also coarse and fine, and he is not a real rice bucket, Feng Yuxiang came to them at this time, to put it bluntly, he was not at ease with Feng Jun and Zhang Tinglan's guarantee.
Zhang Zongchang naturally won't be polite, and directly pointed out, if you are loyal to Lan Shuai, you won't treat you badly, otherwise you have to reflect on yourself!
A trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed on Feng Yuxiang's face, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, I naturally believe in Lan Shuai, but the pressure in front of me is too great, and I have no idea for a while." ”
He Zhuguo also saw Feng Yuxiang's slippery head, so he said: "General Feng, my mission is only to fight, and I don't care about anything else, but I want to remind a Chief Feng from a military perspective that our taking of Xining is only the first step in solving the Ma family's army." At present, the preferred strategy is to cross the Qilian Mountains, capture Wuwei, Yongchang, Gulang and other places in the Hexi Corridor, and then attack on both sides and take Ningxia. If you don't strike while the iron is hot and give the Ma Jiajun time to mobilize, things will get troublesome. ”
After He Zhuguo finished speaking, he turned around and left Feng Yuxiang's office, Feng Yuxiang still had the heart to keep him, but He Zhuguo only left him a back of his head.
Zhang Zongchang said with a smile on the side: "Lao Feng, if you want me to say, you don't have to think about anything, launch an attack as soon as possible, and wipe out the Ma family's army, and you will have peace of mind!" ”
After Zhang Zongchang finished speaking, he also turned around and left, leaving Feng Yuxiang behind, his face changed color, he entered the northwest with the support of Zhang Tinglan, but Lao Feng is not Zhang Tinglan's subordinate after all, once something goes wrong, whether Zhang Tinglan will abandon him, Lao Feng has no bottom in his heart.
Feng Yuxiang sat in the headquarters for a long time, thought and thought, and sat all night, he did not follow He Zhuguo's suggestion to cross Qilian Mountain and attack Wuwei, but chose to consolidate the results. According to Feng Yuxiang's estimate, he has already controlled Lanzhou, and in controlling Qinghai and other places, he has gained a firm foothold, and he is a prince, and he doesn't need to look at other people's faces.
Therefore, Lao Feng called his two foreign and two-yuan cadres Lu Zhonglin and Song Zheyuan, and asked them to lead the army to sweep the remnants of the Ma Jiajun to the northwest and consolidate their rule in Qinghai, while Lao Feng was preparing to return to Lanzhou to sit in the town.
Feng Yuxiang's combat deployment was soon sent to Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan saw through Lao Feng's mind as soon as he saw Feng Yuxiang's arrangement, and he deserved to be a famous renegade general, a typical unfamiliar wolf, with a little strength, he wanted to fight his own little abacus.
Zhang Tinglan also called Yang Yuting over and asked him to work with him, after Yang Yuting saw it, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said sharply: "Feng Yuxiang, this bastard, doesn't he understand the truth of raising tigers?" It's disgusting that I didn't even know how to chase after the victory! ”
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Neighbor Ge, Feng Yuxiang is not raising tigers for trouble, but raising thieves for self-respect, if he doesn't destroy the Ma Jiajun for a day, he can ask us for benefits, if it is eliminated, the northwest will inevitably be boiling with public resentment, and his ass is still unstable." ”
"Hmph, humble words, for such a guy, you must teach him a resolute lesson and let him know who to listen to!"
"Neighbor Ge, your anger is still too big, Feng Yuxiang is an ambitious person, how can he be willing to be completely controlled by us, but don't worry, I have a way to let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot."
……
The news of Feng Yuxiang's attack on Xining spread quickly, and the eyes of the whole of China turned to the northwest, starting from the late Qing Dynasty, the Ma Jiajun continued to expand its strength, and Beiyang has been very worried, but there is not enough liliang constraints, so they can only watch them become bigger.
Now Feng Yuxiang has finally attacked Ma Jiajun. Everyone also wanted to see if the strong dragon could hold down the ground snake.
Northwest communications are backward, and Ma Qi and others, who are in Ningxia, only learned the news of Xining's sneak attack through the newspaper, and they immediately fried the pot, and Ma Qi immediately found Ma Fuxiang and Ma Anliang.
"Two, I took the army and traveled thousands of miles to help Ningxia, but my hometown was attacked by Feng Yuxiang. The wives and children of the family are all in danger, can you still watch like this? ”
Ma Fuxiang hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, we will definitely not sit idly by, and we will definitely do our best to restore Xining." It's just that it's better to discuss what to do. ”
"Talk about it!" Ma Bufang has been listening outside. He rushed in like a fierce god: "What else is there to discuss." Immediately raise troops and wipe out Feng Yuxiang, otherwise, our lords are here to help you, and now that they have no home, they can only let Ningxia out. Give us a stay! ”
Saying that, Ma Bufang threw the pistol on the table, shaking the teapot and bowl, Ma Fuxiang had long been a little disgusted with this rampant junior. But he also knows that he is wrong. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, nephew, Qinghai must be taken back, and there is no problem in sending troops, I just said that I will use more methods to comprehensively attack Feng Yuxiang." ”
Ma Anliang also said: "The so-called division is famous, and now that Feng Yuxiang has taken the initiative to attack, we can just mobilize and use public opinion to exert pressure on the one hand." ”
Ma Qi also sighed and said: "I have now become a lost dog, everything is up to your arrangement, in short, there is one, Qinghai must return to my hands, no matter how much it costs!" ”
The upper echelons of Ma Jiajun finally discussed it properly, and then Ma Fuxiang and others issued an order, and all the regular troops and militia groups in various places were gathered, and they also recruited troops on a large scale, hoarded military supplies, and prepared for a decisive battle.
In addition, Ma Anliang and others mobilized people from all over the northwest to march and protest, and at the same time sent a telegram to Beiyang, in which they denounced Feng Yuxiang's various crimes.
Ignoring the folk customs of the northwest, they forcibly confiscated weapons, killed innocent people, attacked Xining, and started the war lightly. Slaughtering the people, enslaving the people, despising religion, and destroying the overall situation of the republic of the five ethnic groups. There are more than a dozen charges listed. Then, in the name of the people of the northwest, he sued Feng Yuxiang in Beiyang, demanding that he be immediately removed from all his posts and that Qinghai be returned to Ma Qi.
They also threatened that if they did not withdraw their troops immediately, then there would be another major war in the northwest, and then there would be rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, which was not an empty word.
This telegram is murderous, and everyone who sees it can easily evoke terrible memories of the Tongzhi rebellion, and no one can figure out whether there will be another catastrophe in the northwest.
In an instant, the entire public opinion was shaken again, some people accused Ma Jiajun of plotting misdeeds, and some people said that Feng Yuxiang took the initiative to provoke and should be responsible. For a while, the two voices clashed fiercely, and no one could convince anyone.
Public opinion is in a fierce confrontation, and the same is true between Feng Yuxiang and Ma Jiajun, who are actively arranging troops and preparing for war.
At this critical moment, a record of what he had seen appeared in the newspaper suddenly appeared by three Westerners who were traveling to the northwest and happened to run into a battle between Feng Yuxiang and Ma Jiajun.
They saw with their own eyes Feng Yuxiang's army looting men, insulting women, and killing them and stuffing them into dry wells. The three Westerners also secretly took photographs, which were all published in newspapers.
Many Chinese scholars stood up, scolded Feng Yuxiang, accused him of being cruel and unkind, and demanded that the murderer be severely punished and save the country's reputation.
Feng Yuxiang, who was planning the next battle, suddenly saw the news, and immediately his head buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground. Lao Feng looked at the above introduction, and quickly guessed that the murderer was most likely Shi Yousan, and he hurriedly gave an order to let Shi Yousan come over.
As soon as they saw Feng Yuxiang, he angrily smashed the newspaper on Shi Yousan's face: "Bastard, did you do this, how much trouble did you cause me?" ”
Shi Yousan was also a little surprised when he saw it, he didn't expect that his behavior would be photographed by Westerners and posted in the newspaper, which frightened him at this moment.
"Dashuai, I always act according to your orders, I don't know this kind of thing at all!"
"Hmph, you're still quibbling, you can explain these things to the reporter!" After Feng Yuxiang finished speaking, he hurriedly ordered, gathered all the main personnel under him, and told everyone about the matter, and they all knew Shi Yousan's personality and knew that this kind of thing did not wronged him.
Feng Yuxiang roared loudly: "I have repeatedly emphasized military discipline, but as a result, some people have violated it, and there is simply no me in their eyes, which has caused such serious consequences, then I have to bear it myself, my temple is small, and I can't keep you Shi Hanzhang!" ”
The others thought that a few words of reprimand would be enough, but they knew that Feng Yuxiang was going to kill people, and they were all dumbfounded.
"Dashuai, the enemy is at present, you can't take the general lightly, please think twice." His men hurriedly came out to persuade him.
"No need, such a lawless person must be severely punished." Feng Yuxiang was still roaring, he didn't pay attention to the poisonous look in Shi Yousan's eyes.
At this time, Zhang Zongchang suddenly rushed over, and as soon as they met, he said: "Lan Shuai sent a telegram, Lao Feng take a look." (To be continued......)
