"The people of China are a bunch of cowards, as long as something happens, they know to escape, such an incompetent citizen does not deserve such a vast land!"

Ishihara said disdainfully, through the window of the teahouse, he could clearly see the situation below, the streets were full of chaotic crowds, there were all kinds of leaflets on the ground, and the military and police were desperately shouting back and forth, but the effect was also very limited.

The government also dispatched a large number of people to explain, but the speed of explanation could not match the speed of gossip, more and more ordinary people were in an uproar, and even a large number of old officials were uneasy. If the rebels come to kill, no one knows what will happen, so it's best to flee as soon as possible.

As soon as these officials fled, it caused even more chaos, and the common people ran more, and among the various departments in the capital, those old people left behind in Beiyang either fled, or said that they were sick, and the government organs were almost paralyzed.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Yin Rugeng also nodded with a sneer: "Ishihara-kun is right, only the Great Japanese Empire is a country worthy of admiration in this world. Zhang Tinglan, a hairy boy, doesn't know how many days it takes, sooner or later it won't end well, and now it's his retribution! ”

Yin Rugeng gritted his teeth, and seemed to hate Zhang Tinglan even more than Ishihara Wan'er. Yin Rugeng was a relatively well-known traitor during the Anti-Japanese War, and when the Japanese came, the most painful thing for the Chinese was that the traitors were everywhere. In fact, these traitors did not arise out of thin air, but were the result of Japan's painstaking management.

Take Yin Rugeng as an example, he studied in Japan in his early years, and after returning to China, he was known as a Japanese expert because he was familiar with the situation in Japan, so he successfully became Sun Wen's staff, and then entered the Beiyang government. They are mainly engaged in activities related to Japanese people.

In fact, it can be seen from Yin Rugeng's experience that the development of traitors by the Japanese is the result of a long-term operation, starting from among the students, after buying, and sending them to government agencies, as these people rise step by step, the pro-Japanese liliang is rising, once the Japanese call, these people will become traitors without accident, such as Xiqia. Zhou Fuhai and others are like this.

It's just that when Yin Rugeng was speculating in the camp, the Feng army defeated the Japanese and led the army into the customs, and the pro-Japanese faction was suddenly thrown into the cold palace, and Japanese experts such as Yin Rugeng were also snubbed. Excluded.

Having lost his iron rice bowl, Yin Rugeng reminisced about his good life in Japan even more. I worship Japan even more. And hated Fengjun, and soon after, became a member of the secret development of the Japanese spy agency.

"Ishihara-kun, will the empire send troops this time to kill Zhang Tinglan at once?"

Ishihara's brows suddenly furrowed: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you go and continue to arrange for the distribution of leaflets now." Demagoguery, creating chaos in Beijing, and nothing else, you don't need to know about it. ”

"Yes. The villain will do it. ”

Yin Rugeng left the teahouse like a dog. Ishihara also turned around and left, he still had a lot of things to arrange. Such a big change this time actually has a lot to do with the Japanese meddling behind the scenes, of course, not only Japan, but also Britain used all the liliang.

Both empires have been operating in China for a long time, with tentacles all over the place, and they also know that Wu Peifu is a key figure, so they tried to buy Wu Peifu, but the result was unsuccessful, so they could only start with Wu Peifu's subordinates, and let Wang Chengbin and Peng Shouxin and others come forward.

In addition, they were able to successfully break through the defense line of the Jin army, which was also a military secret leaked by the Japanese, and Yan Xishan's staff officer who was responsible for formulating the defense Jihua was returned from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and he handed over all the defense maps of the Jin army to the rebels, so that the defense line of the Jin army was broken through at once.

Successfully instigated this rebellion, the Japanese were very proud, even if Zhang Tinglan could not be completely overthrown this time, but it was enough to shake Zhang Tinglan's foundation, as long as the army killed and looted in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, causing serious damage, it will definitely contain a lot of energy of the Feng army, and even slow down the pace of integration of the south, which can be regarded as a breath for the sinking Izumo.

Therefore, the Japanese spared no effort to mobilize all the liliang that could be mobilized to create chaos, and in addition, they also mobilized the troops in the embassy district, ready for battle, and if the rebels really reached Beijing, they would take immediate action.

With the intervention of the great powers, the capital became a pot of porridge, and Tang Shaoyi, the prime minister of the cabinet, couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan.

"Humble words, I just came from the street, and there is chaos everywhere, why don't you deal with it, do you just watch the chaos in the capital and wait for the rebels to come?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved her hand: "Mr. Shaochuan, you sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

"Speaking slowly, it's all burning eyebrows, I really can't think of it, how can you still be so relaxed."

"Mr. Shaochuan, things have come to this point, I didn't think about it, I didn't expect that the Jin army would collapse at the first touch, otherwise I would have left more people in the capital, and this situation would not have happened."

"Humble words, this is not the time to blame yourself, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, you better hurry up and find a way to deal with the trouble in front of you."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Don't worry, as the saying goes, one person is short-minded, and now it is no longer the pattern of the army, but also to establish a regular staff system, relying on a strong team, formulating a complete military jihua, relying on one or two people is not enough, so I am ready to completely reform the military system." In addition, the government also needs to be reformed, and we must set up some think tanks and gather a large number of experts, so as to ensure that the decision-making is scientific and reasonable. ”

Tang Shaoyi was sweating anxiously, where was he still willing to listen to these words, and hurriedly said: "Humble words, what you said is right, but it's still that sentence, you always have to pass the level in front of you before you can think of implementing other things, otherwise the rebels will be killed in front of you, whether we go or stay, there should always be a charter, and the capital is in chaos like this, if it is not controlled, as soon as the rebels come, we will only be captured!" ”

Zhang Tinglan suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Shaochuan, at the beginning, I was indeed a little caught off guard, but as the so-called adversity sees people's hearts, Beijing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it has also been operated by the great powers for many years, and some miscellaneous people usually can't see it, but now, they all jumped out, just take this opportunity to clean up the capital, so that you and I can feel at ease." ”

"If you want to clean up the capital, you don't have to take such a big risk......" Tang Shaoyi was still muttering to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Humble words, do you have hole cards?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face and nodded slightly......

"Brothers, hurry up, take Baoding, enter Beijing, glory and wealth, you can get it at your fingertips!"

Under all kinds of agitation, the rebels launched a desperate attack on Baoding like a tide, and there were dense charging teams everywhere. They shouted and rushed to kill, bayonets like a forest, guns and bullets rained down.

The rumbling cannon sounded earth-shattering, counting Wu Peifu's troops, among all the warlords, were well-trained and well-equipped, second only to the Feng army, especially also equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, these artillery had strong lethality, and the fortifications built by the Feng army were constantly destroyed.

Rong Zhen, who was in charge of commanding the battle, was also worried at this time, he only had a brigade of men and horses, and the other side had at least 30,000 people, and it was still increasing, the offensive was very fierce, and it was really difficult for the Feng army to stop them.

But no matter how difficult it is, it must be defended, otherwise Baoding will fall, and the rebels will be able to go north directly and threaten Beijing, which is something that Rong Zhen absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Fire!"

The artillery of the Feng army immediately aimed at a rebel position and hit it violently, and suddenly in the violent explosion, two 150 heavy guns were shattered, dozens of artillery pieces were killed, and the pressure on the Feng army was slightly reduced.

But just then, another rebel army attacked Xicheng, this time sending the only planes they had. However, the good news is that their planes are old and their bombs are limited, so they are even more inaccurate and cause limited casualties.

But it greatly boosted the morale of the rebels, they desperately charged towards the city, the artillery set off a metal storm, and Baoding was trembling in the sound of explosions.

"Report, the outer defense line of the southern city is broken, request for assistance."

"Report, Xicheng is in a tight situation, ask for reinforcements."

"Rebel planes bombed the city, causing serious casualties."

……

One bad news came after another, and Rong Zhen's brows furrowed: "Tell them that without reinforcements, the city must be defended, otherwise they will come to see them!" ”

Just as Rong Zhen was giving an order in a huff, someone suddenly ran in again: "The chief is not in a good situation, the gentry of Baoding have rebelled, and they are wantonly setting fire to the city to welcome the rebels into the city." ”

Hearing this, Rong Zhen spun around and almost fell to the ground, he also forgot a little, Baoding is the base camp of the direct line, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu have been operating here for many years, shili is intertwined, and it is difficult for strong dragons to suppress the head snake, not to mention that Fengjun is still weak!

"Let's go, follow me to kill these bastards!"

Rong Zhen didn't have many people in his hands, so he could only rush out with the guards in person, and the streets of Baoding were already in chaos, with fires everywhere, and those powerful and nurtured armed forces were all mobilized and made chaos everywhere.

Rong Zhen was also unceremonious, and gave an order to kill, as long as he was still running around in the city, he would be shot on the spot. Relying on decisive means, he finally recovered a little decline.

But just as he was about to take a breath, suddenly a soldier covered in blood stumbled over: "Sir, the rebels have blown up the eastern city!" ”

When Rong Zhen heard this, he was immediately cold, and Zhang Tinglan asked him to persist in Baoding for half a day, but now it seems that he can't do it. The shouts of killing were getting closer, and the rebels were already pouring in through the gap into the city.

"Brothers, they all rushed up with me, and if you lose your head, you can't lose Baoding!"

Just when they were about to fight to the death, suddenly the rebels outside the city suddenly became chaotic, and the cannonballs fell wildly in the ranks of the rebels, and the people were wiped out in pieces.

It was Fu Zuoyi's department of the Jin army who came, and with their joining, the momentum of the rebels was beaten down at once. (To be continued......)
