The news that Wang Kun led his troops to capture Weifang reached Zibo a few hours later. In the prefect's office, his subordinates ran in in a panic to report www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, and Song Shiyuan was not alarmed, showing the usual calmness of paging. "Ge Yunfei rebelled and led his troops to capture Weifang? Is the message reliable? He asked knowingly, the long-awaited volcano finally erupted, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his abdomen. My lord, this news came from the mouth of a merchant from Weifang, and the city has been full of wind and rain. "When the sky falls, there is something to panic about, and you must not slack off when you immediately verify this news."

"Order the city defense battalion to conduct a strict inventory and be on high alert to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the fire to rob!" The subordinates were ordered to go. "My lord, Ge Yunfei is the opposite, it's unbelievable, but it's reasonable." Master analysis. "Why is it being cleaned up?" My lord, Ge Yunfei has always been disrespectful to the court in front of you, and often criticizes the government with sharp words. Nowadays, there is smoke everywhere, and heroes from all walks of life are on the stage, eager to try. Ge Yunfei doesn't look young, but he has always been ambitious, the key is that this person is meticulous and strategic, if he is really the opposite, it is not surprising. “

"Even if it is unexpected and expected, it will not be empty, we will check the situation and report to the governor of Jinan, Yamen Sun, at dusk." Frankly speaking, it is impossible for Song Shiyuan to get the real situation, but he is not worried, Ge Yunfei will send someone to send the real situation of the occupation of Weifang. Song Shiyuan was once "fooled" by Ge Yunfei, implying that Yuan Shikai had antipathy, so he naturally did not hesitate and fully supported it.

Before the operation, Ge Yunfei informed the kidnapping governor Sun Baoqi that he would take the opportunity to telegraph the whole country to announce Shandong's plan for independence, which he thought was feasible and agreed to play the role of "lying about the military situation". Whether passive or active, Song Shiyuan has already stepped on Ge Yunfei's chariot and has no turning back.

At dusk, in the yamen of the governor of Jinan, Sun Baoqi sat at the table and browsed the newspapers. There were a dozen thick newspapers on the table, and the stacks were very messy, indicating that he had been browsing for a long time. At this time, a subordinate hurriedly entered, "My lord, Lord Song, the prefect of Zibo, sent a secret telegram saying that Ge Yunfei had rebelled, and he led his troops to raid and eliminate the 10th Association of the Fifth Town stationed in Weifang, and captured Weifang. ”

Sun Baoqi was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly took the telegram to check, and soon his head broke out in a cold sweat. "Ge Yunfei rebelled, how could this be. Besides, the 10th Association has more than 3,000 horses, is it possible that it was wiped out overnight? Ge Yunfei's county government brigade only has a thousand people, and it is not a fantasy that it can eat 3,000 men and horses of the well-equipped Daqing Army? A staff member said: "My lord, Ge Yunfei is not an idle person, don't forget that he still has a team?" ”

"And a detachment?" "Your Excellency should know that it is the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine Mine Mine Protection Team that has just been expanded, and that mine protection team is under Ge Yunfei's orders?" "My lord, Song Shiyuan, the prefect of Zibo, has a close relationship with Ge Yunfei, and the lower officials think that Lord Song will not make something out of nothing." "My lord, while Ge Yunfei's foothold is not stable, he should send troops to strangle him." Several aides clamored. Sun Baoqi walked back and forth on the ground, thinking in his heart: It is better to believe it than to believe it.

"Someone!" A subordinate came in. "Immediately order all the main officials, order the commander Zhang Youyou, and the subordinate officers above the standard command to come to the governor's yamen for urgent discussion!" Sun Baoqi's order was what Yan Jiakang dreamed of, and let Song Shiyuan deliver the news at the specified time, with the intention of catching them all.

At this time, in the courtyard of a lane in Jinan City, Yan Jiakang, Li Zhong, and Hu Boyong in the house silently stared at the map speechlessly, and their expressions were very anxious. After a long time, Hu Boyong broke the silence and said: "Lord Ge, the news of the capture of Weifang should have reached the governor's yamen, why has there been no movement. ”

"Division Commander, the night is long and there are many dreams, you should take action immediately!" Li Zhong seemed to be impatient. Yan Jiayasu's face was grim and did not squeak, he moved his gaze from the map to the window, the sun had set over the horizon, but the sky was still bright. "Division commander, what are you hesitating about, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Sun Baoqi is arrested, everything will be solved!" Li Zhong is still clamoring. "How do you know I'm going to arrest Sun Baoqi?"

"Aren't you going to attack the governor's yamen?" "Confused, not only will I not arrest Sun Baoqi, but I will also treat him as a guest and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, have you heard the story?" "Li is a big old man, where do you know these allusions?" "Mr. Hu, you explain to Head Li what it means to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." At this time, Hu Boyong was in no mood to talk about the past and the present, but he had no choice but to open the conversation.

Ge Yunfei secretly thought: At this time, Sun Baoqi had already received the news that Weifang was occupied, and there was no movement, probably to digest it. At this time, Shan Feng hurriedly entered, "Division commander, Mr. Wu has sent news from the governor's yamen, Sun Baoqi ordered the main officials, officers above the standard of the fifth town, to go to the governor's yamen to discuss as soon as possible." In order to confirm the accuracy of the information, I watched the enemy's camp in front of the governor's gate, and saw with my own eyes that the officials and Qing officers entered the governor's office, and they were ready to take action. ”

"Shan Feng, you immediately go and inform the brothers in the Qing army barracks that it is now 5 o'clock, and 6 o'clock will take action on time." "Yes!" "Captain Li!" "The subordinates are here!" Li Zhong immediately came to the spiritual head. "You lead the 2nd Battalion to quickly control the East City Gate and receive the 1st Regiment into the city!" "Yes!" "Mr. Hu, you let Wen Biao and Zhang Meng stand by and be ready to go at any time." After everyone was ordered to go out, Yan Jiakang opened a box, took out a temporary new set of generals' uniforms, and began to change clothes.

After a while, Ge Yunfei appeared in front of the mirror in a military uniform. Large-brimmed hats, crisp uniforms, revolver belts, and a row of yellow-orange-orange bullets flashed brightly. He scrutinized his dignity and felt satisfied. Then he looked at his riding boots, then raised his leg and placed it on the stool, and one of the guards understood and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the riding boots. At this time, Wen Biao walked in in a Qing army uniform and said, "Division commander, the troops have been assembled in the alley!" ”

Ge Yunfei nodded with satisfaction and picked up the horsewhip, and the soldiers in the alley lined up in Qing army uniforms, this move was to confuse the real with the fake. The guards brought over a war horse, Ge Yunfei calmly stepped on the war horse and waved his hand, and the troops walked out of the alley and went straight to the governor's yamen. Ge Yunfei is so big, he knows it in his heart. One is that there is no suspense in the battle, everything is under control, and the other is to give confidence to his subordinates, and most of Li Zhong's subordinates are from "bandits", so they think that this move is an easy occupation operation.

The troops swaggered through the streets, and the soldiers were visibly nervous. Ge Yunfei rode on a tall horse, mixed in the middle of the team, Wen Biao led his subordinates to walk in the front, and he led the newly formed 4th Regiment and 3rd Battalion to follow behind, with a distance of 100 meters between the two sides. It was common for the Qing troops to show off their force in the streets, and it did not arouse the special concern of pedestrians. Some careful pedestrians found that the uniforms of the chief officers of this team of Qing soldiers were different, and there were no braids on the back of their heads, so they couldn't help but pause and watch.

The Qing army barracks is located on the west side of Jinan City, at this time, the barracks in front of the single peak to meet Wang Song. The two greeted each other loudly, making the sentry on guard think that the two were old friends. "Shan shopkeeper, Xu Hongbin, the commander of the party, left the team site in a hurry, is there something wrong?" Wang Song looked left and right and asked excitedly. "I'll tell you good news, this morning Wang Kun led the 3rd Regiment to successfully raid and successfully eliminated the 10th Association. Pan Hongbin, the leader of the 20th step of the 10th Association, was killed, and Zhang Keyao, the leader of the 19th step, surrendered. ”

Then Wang Kun made a big move and led his subordinates to take Weifang City lightly. Sun Baoqi, the governor of the party, ordered all military and political chiefs to rush to the governor's yamen to urgently discuss countermeasures, and our opportunity to do something has come. "Has there been a change in the action plan?" "There is no change, it's 5:20 p.m. and the action starts on time at 6 p.m. Remember, no matter what happens, be sure to strike at 6 o'clock and quickly control the artillery team, understand? "Obey!" Seeing Wang Song enter the barracks, Shan Feng and two of his subordinates went straight to the "Intelligence Headquarters", and his task was to direct his subordinates to post notices in Jinan City.

Li Zhong led Zhang Meng's troops and swaggered towards the east city gate. He and several pro-soldiers deliberately dragged behind, and Zhang Meng led his troops to walk in front. The east gate is guarded by the city defense battalion, and there is a small team of about 20 people here. "Stop, who are you?" The captain of the team that guarded the door saw a group of people and questioned them. "We are from the 5th town of the Qing army!" When the team leader heard this, he relaxed his vigilance, and Zhang Meng stepped forward with a grin.

The squad leader saw that Zhang Meng's military rank was a pipe band, and hurriedly raised his hand and saluted: "Sir, is this going out of the city?" "I was ordered to take over the gates?" "Sir, to take over the defense of the city gate, you must order the governor yamen!" "What's the wordiness, this official is taking over the city gate under the order of Zhang Tong. We received a secret report that the rebel party was going to riot in the city tonight. The squad leader was startled when he heard this, and said in confusion, "Sir, I am familiar with the mayor of the 5th town, but this chief is a face?" ”

"This official is newly transferred, of course you haven't seen it. Order your people to gather, there is a chaotic party among your people, I want to investigate? Zhang Meng's eyes were hideous, and the team leader did not dare to slack off, so he immediately blew the whistle and gathered. After a while, the soldiers guarding the door lined up in front of the gate, "All disarmed and locked in the gatehouse!" Zhang Meng gave a loud order, and the soldiers swarmed up. The soldiers guarding the door were detained in a daze, and at this time Li Zhong came to the door with several personal soldiers. "Big brother, the city gate is controlled by me!"

"Open the gates of the city immediately and welcome a group into the city!" After Li Zhong finished speaking, he climbed the city wall, and at this time it was already dark, so he ordered his subordinates to pile up firewood and grass and light it to send a signal. After a while, two bonfires burst into flames. Ten minutes later, dense black shadows appeared on the main road outside the city, and it was obvious that a group of men and horses had already been ambushed outside the city.
