The contradiction between the revolutionary government and the Ministry of National Defense is the conflict of interests between the southern revolutionaries and the big bourgeoisie represented by Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.

Although the incident of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing was only a fight to the death in writing, the Wehrmacht still maintained restraint, and the Wehrmacht garrisons around Nanjing did not significantly increase their troops, but the New Army itself was already unstable. Three today, one squad tomorrow will leave the team, and the new army's arrears will not be paid, and the contingent will shrink day by day. Huang Kedi was in a hurry, and Lin Sen and others, who were in charge of finance, spit on their faces, but they didn't use the money.

Now the confrontation between the Shandong and Nanjing governments in the open and secret has made the direct Anhui family breathe a sigh of relief, and Jiang Guidi's Lao Yi Army, Zhao Kui's Hongwei Army, Ma Lianjia's Anwu Army (Yi Army Branch), Zhang Xun's Dingwu Army, Yan Xishan's 43rd Mixed Association, Lu Rongting's Gui Army, Long Jiguang's Zhenwu Army, Yuan Zuming's Qian Army, Liu Cunhou's Sichuan Army Armament Department, and Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army Express Department did not let go of this good opportunity, fighting for territory with each other and grabbing soldiers. The Feng Department is also engaged in construction in the Northeast, and in addition to being quite harmonious with the little Japanese Lao Maozi, the entire four sides of China have been divided by warlords, and wars are raging.

The first to be unable to support was the old Yijun who nested in Rehe, half of which belonged to Cao Laosan, who was directly related, and half of which was bought by Zhang Zuolin of the Feng department. The two factions are both scene people, and the old handsome Jiang Gui is also decent, and he sent a telegram at Wudaokou, and he became a public servant in Tianjin Wei, and from time to time he exchanged fishing skills with Feng Guozhang and Feng Guozhang, who stepped down, and the Haihe River became a martial arts arena for the two bigwigs in Beiyang.

The warlord melee best reflects the evolution theory of Darwin's classmates, and the small warlords who have no money and no guns are quickly swallowed up, anyway, they are either swallowed by their opponents or betrayed by their own backers. Long Jiguang occupied Yunnan and Guizhou, and annexed Yuan Zuming's Guizhou army, and Lu Rongting started Bagui. The real revolutionary father, Long Mingjian of the Baolu Movement, died of illness, and Liu Zhengxiong, Xiong Kewu and others in Tianfu, Sichuan, also had no chance to enter Sichuan. Because the banner of the revolution now seems to be not as thick as the thighs of the independence of the six provinces, the warlords do not need Qiaofu's tablet, and naturally they do not accept the appointment of the revolutionary party. Yan Xishan's forty-three mixed association is a rare elite soldier, but in the face of the strong army of the second town, he had to give up the land of Sanjin, Yan Xishan took the remnants of the defeated general through Fenglingdu, and went straight to Kaifeng, after being surrounded by two divisions of the national defense army, he simply raised his hand and surrendered, and Yan Xishan was also sent to Jinan Mansion.

Originally, everyone playing small mahjong was not hurtful and angry, but seeing that everyone was warming up, Cao Laosan's ambition burned again, looking at Duan Zhigui's straw bag and Jin Yunpeng's scoundrel's Anhui system is really not right, in order to unify the rivers and lakes, oh, it is to unify Beiyang, and experience the majesty of Yuan Gongbao back then, of course, it was also attacked by both sides of the Feng Department and the National Defense Army, and he reluctantly chose to go west, and only the Anhui Department in Shaanxi could not afford to lose, and Beiyang became a dog fighting field where two leprosy dogs with little skin and no hair tore each other. I don't know what Yuan Gongbao, who knows about the spring, thinks.

For a time, the war clouds in the northwest and north China were thick, and the war in Zhiwan was full of wind and clouds, disturbing China and foreign countries, but no one expected that the official fire would only be three days, and together with the beginning and end, it was only five days, and the Beiyang civil war came to an end.

On the evening of July 14 in the second year of the Republic, the two sides officially opened fire. The direct army is known as the rebel army and is divided into two routes, Chen Guangyuan is the former commander-in-chief of the enemy and the commander-in-chief of the western route; Cao Qi, the commander of the Jiyu Town and the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, was the commander-in-chief of the East Road; Wang Chengbin, commander of the First Mixed Brigade, was stationed in Zhengzhou as the commander-in-chief of the rear road. The west road is the battlefield of the main forces of both sides, the direct army is in Yuncheng, and the Anhui army is in Yongji, Ruicheng and Lingbao.

On the 14th, the First Army of the Anhui Army, with the 15th Division as the vanguard, attacked the Third Division of the Direct Army, and the Direct Army withdrew from Yuncheng. On the same day, the East Road Anhui Army attacked from Linqi County to the direct army of Wanrong County, and the direct army set up artillery on the mountainous ground of Gaocun Township, and the victory or defeat of the two sides was undecided, but the direct army of Lingbao on the West Road to Wenxi County was crushed for thousands of miles. From the 14th to the 16th, in the three-day war, a total of two battles were fought, both of which were defeated by the direct army.

But like the stock market, it is the norm to open high and go low, so on the 17th, the war situation changed, especially in the western battlefield, after Chen Guangyuan withdrew from Yuncheng, he led a direct army to bypass the left flank in Yangdian Town between Shaanzhou and Lingbao, and carried out a surprise attack, which was the location of the former enemy headquarters of the Anhui army. Everything was very calm in the headquarters, and Qu Tongfeng was preparing to go straight to Baoding and capture Cao Chen alive to make immortal achievements. Unexpectedly, the gunfire burst out, and the enemy army had already taken cover. Legend has it that Chen Guangyuan led the elite soldiers to rush into Qu's headquarters, Qu Chen originally had a vendetta, and this time he captured the other party, he naturally would not be polite, and asked the old opponent to get in the car and go to the Jin Temple to taste tea and nostalgia.

Because Qu Tongfeng and all the senior generals of the headquarters were captured, the headquarters of Liu Xunsuo of the 15th Division and the headquarters of Chen Wenyun of the Third Civil Defense Division, which was reorganized from the patrol battalion, were defeated and retreated from Wenxi County like a mountain collapsing and collapsing. The 15th Division originally belonged to the direct army and was Feng Guozhang's guard, because after Feng Huafu left office, this army has been within the Anhui system, so it was forced to come to fight, and now the situation has changed, so the commander of the 29th Brigade of the division, Zhang Guorong, and the commander of the 30th Brigade, Qi Baoshan, led a part of the soldiers to surrender to Chen Guangyuan. The other part retreated to Fenglingdu, and Duan Zhigui hurriedly ordered the closure of Fengling Ferry and did not allow them to enter the city.

The changes in the battlefield on the eastern front were naturally due to the help of the Feng army, and an independent cavalry division of Tang Erhu's Feng army detoured from the northwest of Jin to Houma, and then united with the direct army reinforced from Taiyuan to flank the Anhui army on the eastern front. On the 17th, Tanaka Yu, commander-in-chief of the eastern front of the Anhui army, hurried back to Tongguan when he heard that the Anhui army on the western front had been defeated, and the Anhui army on the eastern front under his command surrendered to the direct army without a fight without a commander's command.

On the 17th, Chen Guangyuan sent a telegram to Cao Kun to report the victory, saying: "At present, the commander of the first division of the Anhui Army, Qu Tongfeng, has sent his adjutant Wu Jingmin to come with Catholic priest Li to ask for a truce, and has sent Hui Chunzhi, the accompanying battalion officer, to contact him. Brigade Commander Chen An of the 15th Division, and Brigade Commander Gong Chen also sent a deacon to come with a letter, saying that the division was originally the same as the direct army, and because of the unavoidable hardships under the accumulation of power, he was willing to return with the whole division. The division commander immediately sent a letter to ask Qi to come to Yuncheng to work on a solution, and now the frontal artillery fire on both sides has been extinguished, and the front line is still strictly guarded. He also received a telephone report from the front that Chen Wenyun's entire division had been dispersed by the Xiao and Peng brigades on the right flank of our army, and his Qu Tongfeng Brigade was willing to surrender to Cheng. The 15th Division is completely submissive to our army, the 6th Brigade can go to Fenglingdu tomorrow morning, Brigade Commander Guo of the Fengjun cavalry is now stationed outside the east gate of Yuncheng, and will enter the city tomorrow morning, and the overseer Tang Yulin Gong will also arrive in Yuncheng tomorrow. ”

On July 18, Qu Tongfeng, one of the commanders of the Anhui army, arrived in Baoding and officially performed a knife dedication ceremony at Cao Kun's guest house "Guangyuan". Cao Kun claimed to admire the Ming general Qi Jiguang's person, so he named this guest house for receiving foreign guests as "Light Garden".

Qu Tongfeng is a native of Shandong, and he is also a fellow villager of General Wu Peifu of the National Defense Army, and Cao Kun is also an acquaintance. However, Qu Tongfeng was quite familiar with current affairs, and he said that he surrendered voluntarily, so he was willing to let his old friends hold a "surrender ceremony". Cao Kun stood in the hall, Qu Tongfeng was accompanied by the generals of the direct army, fully dressed in military uniform, with sonorous steps, entered the hall, and there were other captured officers behind him, Qu first untied the saber from his waist, held Cao Kun with both hands, and said loudly: "The contemptible people are willing to surrender to General Cao Shang* today, and the saber is hereby presented, and he swears that he will never be an enemy of your army." After Cao Kun took the knife with both hands, he returned the saber and said to the general in front of him in a pleasant tone: "The general is willing to accept the surrender of your commander today, your commander fought bravely, and the envoy deeply admires it. The envoy shall give your commander the best treatment in accordance with the regulations on preferential treatment of prisoners. After the surrender ceremony was completed, the two shook hands and reminisced, happy as if they were alive, and they were like guests and hosts, but I don't know what it was like in the heart of Lao Duan.

After Cao Kun was surrendered, he immediately sent out a telegram cloud: "In order to inform the matter, yesterday's Duan Jun Qu Tongfeng and others have now been relieved to Baoding, and when they met, Qu and others took off their sabers and held them in both hands to Kun Yun: The contemptible people are willing to surrender under the command of General Gui Shang*." and swore that during their captivity, they would never act contrary to the purpose of their army. Accepted by General Kun with both hands, and clouded: This general hereby bears the surrender of the deacon, and your Excellency is brave and admirable, and still carries the saber and wears it, and enjoys the freedom of the prisoners to be treated according to military practice, except for a few timid soldiers and those who have the qualifications of tainted soldiers, the rest are treated favorably by the army according to their ranks. Such military prisoners should be tried by official courts in the future. Except for the troops at the front to check this kind of treatment for the captured soldiers, and strictly order the whole army not to have the idea of revenge because Duan Zhigui has recently offered a reward for his life, and violates the main purpose of the soldiers to maintain humanity outside of war. ”

After Qu Tongfeng offered a knife in Baoding, he immediately sent a telegram to advise the Anhui army to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and fight against the "thieves" together. After Duan Zhigui learned about Qu Tongfeng's humiliating surrender and knife offering scene in Xi'an and the telegram to discuss Duan, the general trend was already gone, and it was too late to even scold Qu Tongfeng.
