Gao Jun said: "You can't be guilty of conspiracy obsessive-compulsive disorder, do you think conspiracy theories about everything? Guan Jian is our enemy, what good is it for Yuan Shikai?"

Wang Sheng couldn't help crying and laughing, and said: "This is not a conspiracy to obsessive-compulsive, but there is a reason for me, except for what I just said, such a big thing happened in the Beiyang New Army, and Yuan Shikai, as the chief general of the Beiyang New Army, would not know at all?" And Yuan Shikai's motives are also very obvious, he is now the governor of Shandong, and our goal is to occupy the entire Shandong, which has a direct conflict with Yuan Shikai, so Yuan Shikai has every reason to do such a thing to test our reaction, and in the old time and space, Yuan Shikai has always been good at engaging in this kind of conspiracy. ”

After listening to Wang Sheng's words, Liu Qinglin and Gao Jun couldn't help but become serious, because logically speaking, Wang Sheng's inference was completely reasonable, so Liu Qinglin said: "Then what should we do?"

Wang Sheng said: "First of all, we still have to strengthen the garrison of Menbu Village, and we must not relax our vigilance. If the Beiyang New Army's participation in the war is related to Yuan Shikai, then this time it will not work, there will be a next time, Yuan Shikai is very likely to send the Beiyang New Army to attack us, this is a regular army, and it is also the training method of the modern army, which is not comparable to the rabble like the landlord armies, and if Yuan Shikai really does not know about this matter, it is indeed a personal act, then there is a first, there is a second, and we must not be careless. ”

Liu Qinglin nodded and said, "I understand, I will arrange more personnel to reconnoiter nearby, and once I find that an army appears, I will immediately issue a warning." However, if the Beiyang New Army comes to attack us, then this battle will be correspondingly difficult, after all, our troops are too small, and the Beiyang New Army will never bring only three artillery pieces when it comes again, although we can rely on helicopters and warrior vehicles, and we will not necessarily lose, but the casualties will inevitably be very heavy. ”

Gao Jun said: "There are also those landlords who participated in this battle, we can't just forget it, we must return the color as soon as possible and carry out our counterattack, otherwise it will only fuel the arrogance of the landlords, and at the same time, it will also affect our prestige in these villages." ”

Liu Qinglin said: "Then our troops are not enough, and to what extent will we counterattack? Only arrest all the landlords involved in the alliance, or will we take advantage of the opportunity to arrest the landlords and carry out land reform on the spot?"

When Wang Sheng heard this, he also felt a headache, and said: "These things are not something we can decide, we can only report to the Qingdao headquarters, and the headquarters will decide." ”

Gao Jun and Liu Qinglin also nodded, so Wang Sheng immediately contacted Qingdao and reported the battle that happened last night, the results, and the situation of the prisoners, as well as Wang Sheng's speculation. It is hoped that the Qingdao command will be able to indicate the next course of action.

In the afternoon, the Land Reform Headquarters received an order from the Qingdao Headquarters that two regiments would be sent to assist. Defend the work of the Agrarian Reform Committee, and demand that they ascertain as soon as possible the names of all the landlords participating in the alliance and their residences, and immediately launch an all-out attack early tomorrow morning, and at the same time station all the villages, arrest the landlords and related personnel involved in the alliance, and those who dare to resist can be killed on the spot, and carry out land reform in the villages on the spot, and at the same time send troops to occupy Gaomi County, and take full control of the entire territory of Gaomi County, and move the headquarters of the People's Army and the headquarters of the Agrarian Reform Committee into Gaomi County. In addition, if the Beiyang New Army invades the sphere of influence of the Crossing Group, or has provocative behavior, it will be dealt with immediately, and it will not be afraid of war, and it will never be soft.

After reading the instructions of the Qingdao Command, Wang Sheng, Gao Jun, and Liu Qinglin were not only shocked, but they did not expect that the reaction of the Qingdao Command would be much more fierce than they expected, and they expected that the Command Headquarters would at most order to be stationed in the villages of all the landlords participating in the alliance to arrest and carry out land reform, but they did not expect that the appetite of the Qingdao Command was much greater than they imagined, and they wanted to swallow the entire Gaomi County in one bite, and broke the previous decision to occupy only the rural areas and not the county seats. In addition, it also adopted a tough attitude towards the Beiyang New Army, and even did not hesitate to go to war.

Of course, this hard-line attitude of the upper echelons was a great encouragement to the personnel at the lower levels, so the people in the land reform headquarters were also very excited and their morale was high after learning of this order.

And at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the 4th and 10th regiments arrived at Menbu Village, plus a cavalry platoon. The Fourth Regiment is now one of the six main regiments of the People's Army, and the configuration of all arms is complete, and it is also the middle force of the current Qingdao defense, while the Tenth Regiment is a new regiment, that is, the regiment to which Liu Qinglin's battalion belongs. The dispatch of a main regiment with a new regiment also showed the determination of the Qingdao command.

In fact, after receiving the report from the Land Reform Headquarters, Qin Zheng immediately realized that the participation of the Beiyang New Army in the war was definitely not an accidental phenomenon. Qin Zheng has a very deep study of modern Chinese history, of course he knows that Yuan Shikai is a person, whether Yuan Shikai is a cadre of governing the country or a thief, but he is definitely a hero in troubled times, and now the Beiyang New Army has only been formed for a short time, the size of the army is not large, Yuan Shikai's control over the Beiyang New Army is still quite strong, so an army of more than 400 people privately left the brigade to help others fight, Yuan Shikai will not know anything about it? If Yuan Datou was such a person, then in the old time and space, it would be impossible for him to call for wind and rain in China's political arena, and once stood at the peak of power.

Although Qin Zheng is not a conspiracy theorist, he also believes that everything is inevitably connected, there is no accident, not to mention that Yuan Shikai's motives are also very clear, the crossing group wants to occupy Shandong, and Yuan Shikai is the governor of Shandong, so the conflict between the two sides is almost inevitable, but the main sphere of influence of the crossing group is the German sphere of influence that was received, and Yuan Shikai has not yet been in direct contact, and they are at peace with each other, but with the expansion of the control of the crossing group, sooner or later the two sides will have contradictions。

And whether Yuan Shikai deliberately planned or deliberately pretended not to know this time, Qin Zheng thought that the latter was more likely, because with Yuan Shikai's intelligence, if he wanted to deliberately plan an action against suppressing the crossing group, it would definitely be a subtle plan, and it would never be so rough; 。

Of course, the crossing group is not afraid of being the enemy of Yuan Shikai, although in the old time and space, the Beiyang New Army was the strongest combat force in the first 20 years of the 20th century in China, but in the eyes of the traverser, it is not enough at all, it is not easy to defeat the Beiyang New Army, the only thing that makes the crossing group have scruples is Yuan Shikai's identity, after all, he is a high-ranking official of the Qing court, a local official, and a feudal official, and now the crossing group still needs the skin of the Qing court. If it is said that killing a few landlords, occupying a few villages, or even controlling a few county towns is not a big deal, after all, with the size of China and the official system of the Qing court, these are not big deals, and the Qing court will not care at all. But if there is an open confrontation with the governor of a province, it will definitely turn the world upside down, and for the current crossing group, it is obvious that it will lose points politically.

However, this is also where Yuan Shikai is trying to cross the bottom line of the group, so the crossing group can't be counted like this, if he shows weakness like this, with Lao Yuan's personality, he will definitely become Ben Jiali, inch by inch, in the big change after ten years in the old time and space, Lao Yuan will play this hand superbly, and completely play the father of the country between the stocks.

And it is precisely because of this that Qin Zheng believes that at this time, the crossing group must not show weakness and retreat, and must respond to Yuan Shikai with a tough attitude, and even put on an attitude of not being afraid of a war, only in this way can Yuan Shikai retreat in the face of difficulties, and at the same time, it is also the first to remove obstacles for the crossing group to successfully occupy the entire territory of Shandong in the future. Therefore, Qin Zheng advocated mobilizing heavy troops and capturing Gaomi County.

Although the occupation of Gaomi County was contrary to the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside formulated by the crossing group in the past, Qin Zheng believed that the army could change with the situation, and any strategy or decision should not be copied and rigid, but should be flexibly applied, and even partially adjusted. Moreover, in the old time and space, the ancestors of the time-traveling group used this strategy mainly because their own strength was not enough to capture the big city, so they avoided the real and made up for nothing, while the time-traveling group used this strategy more out of expediency, and there was still a considerable difference between the two. And since it is an expedient measure, it is reasonable to adopt the principle of adaptation when conditions permit, or when the situation changes.

After this battle, the crossing group is sure to arrest and retaliate against the members who participated in the landlords' alliance, and carry out land reform on the spot, but because the initiator and organizer of the landlords' alliance Wan Yufu is the secretary of Gaomi County and has lived in Gaomi County for a long time, so if he does not invade Gaomi County, he will not be able to arrest Wan Yufu, and Gaomi County has gone deep into the hinterland of Shandong, and occupying Gaomi County can not only consolidate the current control area of the crossing group, but also a clear signal to all the landlords and gentry in Gaomi County, so that they will not dare to be enemies with the crossing group in the future, and can also obtain a forward base for the next expansion of the crossing group in Shandong, and at the same time, it is also a warning to Yuan Shikai, so that he will not misjudge the determination to cross the group.

After all, Yuan Shikai is a smart person, it is impossible not to understand the strength of the crossing group, and it is impossible not to know that even the Qing court does not dare to turn his face with the crossing group, so he may not have the courage to confront the crossing group head-on, and it is likely that he can only endure this breath.

Of course, Qin Zheng can't pin his hopes on what Yuan Shikai dares to do and what he doesn't dare to do, so he must be fully prepared, in case Lao Yuan's head is hot and he makes a stupid move, he must fight a battle, then the crossing group will also not be polite, this battle will be overwhelming, completely subduing Yuan Shikai, so that Lao Yuan will not dare to use other brains in the future.

Moreover, sending two regiments to Menbu Village to reinforce reinforcements is only the first step, Qin Zheng also plans to transfer one regiment from Beijing to Qingdao, and add 1-2 regiments of troops, and deploy them in the forward areas that are currently under the control of the crossing group, which not only forms an overwhelming advantage over the Beiyang New Army, but also can also clarify and consolidate the control area of the crossing group.
