Just two days before Zhou Hexuan was shot, Feng Yuxiang swore in Wuyuan and announced his appointment as commander-in-chief of the National Army, officially joining the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, when the national army was directly under the coalition army for two or three months, Feng Yuxiang was not at the front line at all. He had already announced that he had gone to the wilderness and went to the Soviet Union to study and investigate, and this time he returned to China just to pack up the remnants of the army and make a comeback with great ambition.

Compared with the imposing National Revolutionary Army, the Beiyang warlords seem to be powerful, but in fact they are seriously infighting, like a sick giant.

Let's talk about a few months ago, Zhang Zuolin's subordinate Li Jinglin, Wu Peifu's subordinates Jin Yunhe and Tian Weiqin conspired with Feng Yuxiang and Li Jinglin to form an alliance. They discussed, Sun Chuanfang marched into Shandong to expel Zhang Zongchang, Li Jinglin occupied Tianjin to prevent Feng's army from moving south, Jin Yunhe marched into Shanxi and Feng Yuxiang to attack Yan Xishan, Tian Weiqin sent troops to Nanyuan, Tongzhou and Feng Yuxiang joined forces to drive Zhang Zuolin back to the northeast.

After a series of actions, Zhang Zuolin easily eliminated Li Jinglin, and Wu Peifu also dismissed Jin Yunju, and each cleaned up the internal traitors before finally gaining a firm foothold.

However, in the face of the successive victories of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the infighting of the Beiyang warlords continued-

When the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked Hubei, Sun Chuanfang did not go to help. His wishful thinking was: let the Northern Expeditionary Army and Wu Peifu eat dog, and then clean up the mess after both are defeated. In the name of "aiding Wu", he took advantage of the situation to occupy Wu Peifu's Hunan and Hubei territories, then his five-province coalition army could be expanded to seven provinces.

As for Zhang Zuolin, he said that he was sending troops south to support Wu Peifu, but in fact, he wanted to seize the territory of Zhiyu Province from Wu Peifu, and then spy on Hunan and Hubei, and expand the Fengjun power to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Zuolin's strategy was: to take advantage of the opportunity of Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang being severely injured by the Northern Expeditionary Army, to destroy Wu in the name of "aiding Wu", to destroy Sun in the name of "aiding Sun", and finally to level the Northern Expeditionary Army, so as to seize the whole world.

Well, the ideas are all good.

After Wu Peifu's main force was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhang Zuolin felt that the time had come, and immediately appointed Zhang Zongchang as the commander-in-chief to aid Wu and actively went south to support Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu is not a fool, and repeatedly declined Zhang Zuolin's kindness, saying that he still has more than 100,000 heroes on the Jinghan line, and he will kill the rebels in the south in minutes, so he doesn't have to bother the big brothers in the northeast.

Zhang Zuolin is enthusiastic and insists on helping.

Because Beiping was jointly managed by the two factions, Zhang Zuolin first forced out Wu Peifu's subordinate general and Wang Huaiqing, the commander of the Beiping garrison, and was replaced by Yu Zhen, a general of the Feng department. Then he used the "loud noise" as a threat to bring down Du Xiqi's cabinet. Du Xiqi, the acting prime minister, gave up his seat to Gu Weijun before his ass was hot.

Zhang Zuolin thus took control of Beiping alone and became the real master of the Beiyang government.

At the same time, Zhang Zuolin ordered Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu to go south along the Jinghan Railway and occupy the Baoding and Daimyo areas controlled by Wu Peifu.

When Zhou Hexuan was assassinated, Chu Yupu was "supporting" Baoding, but unfortunately Wu Peifu's defenders did not accept "support".

It's like paying for a meal, one says, "I'll invite this meal!" The other said, "I'll ask for it, and I'll be anxious with whoever pays." ”

Then the two sides fought......

Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu supported Wu Peifu's Baoding defenders with enthusiastic artillery fire, bringing spring-like warmth to their allies, and Baoding was supported in a few days.

Then Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu quarreled again.

The reason for this is the uneven distribution of spoils.

One of the characteristics of warlord melee is that the casualty rate on the battlefield is very low, and after a big battle, the mountains and fields are full of routs. For the victorious side, this was a good opportunity to expand the army, and Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu both started by gathering the rout.

In the coalition command room.

Zhang Zongchang slapped the table and said: "I am the commander-in-chief of Wu, and Baoding is aided by me, so it stands to reason that I should share the big head!" ”

Chu Yupu was also unambiguous: "I am the commander-in-chief of aiding Wu, and the battle to aid Baoding is commanded by me, so I should take sixty percent no matter how I say it!" ”

When the two quarreled, Chu Nanxiang suddenly came in and reported: "Dashuai, the urgent call from Tianjin was sent by Chang Zhiying." ”

Chu Yupu grabbed the newspaper and looked at it, and immediately became furious, kicked away the chair and said, "Nonsense! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zongchang grabbed the telegram curiously, and after reading it, he laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, Chu Shorty, your brother is really a talent!" I'm convinced. ”

Chu Yupu laughed angrily and said, "This is my brother, it's obviously a stupid pig!" ”

Chu Yupu has no reason not to be angry, because his own brother is too hasty.

If it was replaced by Chu Yupu, he would not take into account the foreigners at all, and directly sent troops wearing civilian clothes and short guns, rushed into Zhou Hexuan's house and arrested people, and then secretly shot him on the charge of red elements. What's the point of assassination? It's just taking off your pants and farting, it's too much!

Even if the matter was revealed and the British were injured, Chu Yupu would not be scared to leave Tianjin. Pushing Du Xiaoshan out as a scapegoat is that biting himself to death has nothing to do with the assassination, do the British really dare to send troops to arrest people? In the end, it will definitely be over.

What made Chu Yupu most angry was that Chu Yufeng actually mobilized the defenders of Tianjin privately, saying that he wanted to bring troops to the front line to fight. This Nima is funny, mobilizing the army without permission is a big crime, and assassinating someone is not even a fart compared to disobeying military orders.

Fortunately, now is the time to employ people, if it is changed to normal times, Chu Yufeng will take the defenders with the front foot, and it is estimated that Zhang Xueliang will occupy Tianjin on the back foot. Tianjin is the foundation of Chu Yupu, he handed over the responsibility of guarding the nest to his brothers, but he didn't expect Chu Yufeng to be as stupid as a pig.

From the beginning of the incident to the end, Chu Yufeng didn't do anything right, and the mud couldn't support the wall.

Chu Yupu helplessly held his forehead and said: "Nanxiang, you go back to Tianjin immediately and help my brother dredge the young marshal and the British." By the way, I told Zhou Hexuan that this matter was over, I didn't want to pursue it anymore, so let him stop making trouble. Otherwise, even if he flies into the sky, Lao Tzu will break his wings! ”

"Yes, handsome! Let's do it. Chu Nanxiang raised his hand and saluted, bowed and retreated.

Chu Yupu called Jia He again: "You immediately send a telegram to my brother, and let that bastard return to Tianjin immediately!" Tell him to be honest with me, and if you dare to cause trouble again, Lao Tzu will go back and pick his skin! ”

After Jia He left, Zhang Zongchang was still laughing: "Hahaha, some people always say that I Zhang Zongchang is as stupid as a pig, compared to your brother, I can't really compare." ”

"Have you laughed enough," Chu Yupu said angrily, "Laugh enough, let's continue to discuss, how to divide this rout." ”

"Let me slow down again, hahahaha, I'm about to laugh." Zhang Zongchang slapped the table while laughing.
