With the spread of the radio waves, the anti-Yuan telegram sent by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in Sichuan quickly spread throughout the country, but it did not cause any waves, because few people took the strength of the Sichuan Army in their eyes, let alone such a small local warlord as the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, which had never heard of before. ￥f

Beijing, Presidential Palace.

In the conference hall, Yuan Shikai sat on the main seat of the long square table, his eyes firmly fixed on the map of China spread out on the table. On the huge military map covering the entire desktop, several large arrows were used to depict the direction of attack of several parts of the Beiyang Army, and the southern provinces where the Kuomintang was entrenched were circled and marked with thick black lines, and the current war situation was clear at a glance.

"President, on the Jiangxi side, the 6th Regiment of the 23rd Division of our army has crossed the line of the Shahe River and launched an artillery bombardment on the Jiangxi Army. According to front-line reconnaissance, Li Liejun is currently massing troops on a large scale and preparing to launch a counterattack on our Jiujiang front.

On the Jiangsu side, the 3rd Division of the Kuomintang captured Liguoyi the day before yesterday, and then launched an attack on the Fang Yupu Brigade of the 5th Division of our army stationed in Hanzhuang, in an attempt to capture Hanzhuang in one sentence. Fang Yupu had to hold on and wait for help, and Zhang Xun had sent Zhang Wensheng, the commander of the former army of Wuwei, to lead his troops to help.

In Shanghai, Chen Qimei's subordinates were all rabble, such as ruffians and gangsters, who tried in vain to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of our navy's naval guns.

On the Guangdong side, Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, and Long Jiguang, commander of the patrol battalion, had already received a secret order from the president and were leading their troops into Guangdong, and with their strength, it was more than enough to exterminate the Kuomintang troops entrenched in the Guangzhou area.

On the Anhui side, Ni Sichong's troops were actively preparing for war, preparing to launch an attack on Fengtai, Shouzhou, Zhengyang, and other places, and Hu Wantai, commander of the 1st Anhui Division, did not build a defensive line and tried to block our army's entry into Anhui. ”

Chen Eun, deputy chief of the General Staff Headquarters, cooperated with the military map on the table and explained to Yuan Shikai one by one the changes in the war situation in the provinces after the start of the war.

Yuan Shikai listened attentively, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching his brows.

"From this point of view, what is still capable of causing us trouble is the Kuomintang rebellion in Jiangxi and Jiangsu." Yuan Shikai rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

Chen Huan replied solemnly: "Judging from the current progress of the battle, it is like this! ”

"Report!"

At this time, a communications soldier shouted outside the door to report that please meet.

After getting Yuan Shikai's permission, the signal soldier walked into the meeting hall, saluted Yuan Shikai, and then handed over a telegram.

Yuan Shikai took the message and looked at it, but he didn't know what news he saw, and a disdainful chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Du, Yang Shiqi, and the rest of the Beiyang generals who were sitting on both sides were all very curious about why Yuan Shikai had such a look, so they all moved their eyes to the telegram in Yuan Shikai's hand.

Seeing everyone's attention, Yuan Shikai smiled disapprehantly, and then handed the message to everyone to read.

After reading the telegram, almost everyone present showed a smile of disdain and contempt, because this telegram was nothing else, it was the anti-Yuan telegram of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Duan Qirui sneered disdainfully: "This Wang Haoshan really doesn't know whether to live or die!" President, do you want to send a brigade into Sichuan to suppress this bullshit South Sichuan Revolutionary Army? ”

"Sending troops into Sichuan, do you look up to this self-defeating Wang Haoshan too much?" Yang Shiqi was very unimpressed, and he did not hide his contempt for the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army that he had never heard of.

Yang Du frowned and said, "President, I thought it was better not to take it lightly, in case this Wang Haoshan led his troops out of Sichuan and east into Hubei, it would cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"Hey, don't you want to say that the strength of this Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is extraordinary, right?" Duan Qirui laughed, "You also led your troops out of Sichuan and into Hubei in the east?" As for the turtles and miscellaneous fish of the Sichuan army, even if they eat the gall of the ambitious leopard and really send troops to Hubei, it is just cannon fodder scum sent to death, do you need to care? ”

Duan Qirui's words of pride and self-confidence as the strongest army in the world resonated with the Beiyang officers and generals present, and they all echoed and smiled.

Despite this, Yang Du still insisted: "President, even if we don't send troops into Sichuan, then send a telegram to Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan, and order him to exterminate this southern Sichuan revolutionary army as soon as possible, anyway, we don't need to spend any price." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shikai's expression moved, and he nodded in agreement: "What Yezi said is right, it's always right to be cautious." Just do this, and order Hu Jingyi to exterminate this southern Sichuan revolutionary army that dared to openly rebel as soon as possible, otherwise he would not have to sit down in the position of governor of Sichuan. ”

……

Shanghai, Japanese Concession, Sun Yat-sen's temporary residence.

Sun Yat-sen looked at Chen Qimei, who pleaded guilty to him, and sighed secretly, but he still beat his spirit and exhorted: "Okay, Ince, it's just a small setback, how can my generation of revolutionary aspirants be depressed because of a small setback!" ”

Chen Qimei was just posturing, after all, so many people died, and if she didn't ask for guilt, she couldn't explain the past. Hearing Sun Yat-sen say this, he naturally didn't continue to pretend, smiled, and swore and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, we still have the power to fight back." I have ordered the 37th Regiment, the 61st Regiment and the remnants of the Song Army to shrink and retreat to the area of Wusong and Baoshan, and as long as the time is ripe, a counterattack can be launched at any time! ”

Sun Yat-sen seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Qimei's words, and said with a slight smile: "That's good, as long as you wait for Xia Ru (Li Liejun's character) in Jiangxi and Keqiang in Jiangsu to open up the situation, then the success of the great cause of the revolution is just around the corner." ”

At this time, a person walked into the living room with a telegram in his hand and walked into the living room with a happy expression, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Mr. Sun, good news, good news, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in Sichuan has telegraphed against Yuan!" ”

The people who came were Zhang Renjie and Zhang Jingjiang, who were known as the money bags of the People's Party, and he happily handed the telegram in his hand to Sun Yat-sen.

Sun Yat-sen took the telegram and looked at it, his face was not only not a little happy, but showed a trace of regret, and asked Zhang Renjie: "Jingjiang, did the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army agree to send troops to Hubei?" ”

When Yang Shukan, a member of the League in Sichuan, reported to him the situation of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Sun Yat-sen was keenly aware that this was an object worthy of winning over and exploiting, and because the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was willing to call against Yuan because it demanded 200,000 oceans, he asked Zhang Jingjiang to be in charge of this matter.

Asked about the dispatch of troops to Hubei, Zhang Renjie's face appeared angry, and he said: "That young marshal Wang Mo of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is simply a scoundrel who took advantage of the fire to rob, and he actually asked us to pay a million oceans for sending troops before he was willing to send troops to Hubei!" ”

Before Sun Yat-sen could say anything, Chen Qimei started fighting and shouted angrily: "What, a million oceans to send troops? Even those miscellaneous armies in Sichuan are worth a million oceans? This is clearly using us as sheep to slaughter! A little red guy, I have to send someone to kill him! ”

Sun Yat-sen was not very angry, but said with some regret: "It's a pity, if the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army sends troops to Hubei, it can more or less relieve some pressure on Xia Ru in Jiangxi." Since they are unwilling to send troops to Hubei, forget it, but, Jingjiang, you still have to contact Yang Shukan and Xiong Kewu in Sichuan, so that they can make a big deal in Sichuan, and it is best to attract the attention of the Beiyang Army. ”

Chen Qimei has always been quick-minded, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately understood Sun Yat-sen's intentions, and laughed hehehe: "Yes, it is still Mr. Sun who is wise, lead the Beiyang Army over, and let those little red guys in Sichuan block our guns." ”

Sun Yat-sen glared at Chen Qimei, and suddenly Chen Qimei did not dare to continue to show the intention of using the Sichuan Army as cannon fodder so blatantly.

For politicians, it is to be a **, or to set up a memorial arch.

……

Jiangxi, De'an County, Jiangxi Army Front Command.

"At dawn tomorrow, the left wing army led by Lin Hu will take the lead in launching a counterattack against Shahe Town, and the 23rd Regiment of the 6th Beiyang Division must be annihilated or severely damaged. As long as the Left Wing Army wins, Fang Shengtao must immediately lead the Right Wing Army into the predetermined attack position, and cooperate with the Left Wing Army to launch a comprehensive siege against the Beiyang 6th Division! In addition, the telegram ordered the remnants of our army in Jiujiang City to launch a counteroffensive at dawn tomorrow. In this battle, I want to concentrate my superior forces and eat Li Chun's 6th Division in one go! ”

After Li Liejun finished talking about the combat deployment, he smashed his fist on the map where the 6th Beiyang Division was currently located, showing his domineering.

"Yes!"

The officers attending the military meeting stood up in unison and responded awe-inspiringly!

After the meeting was over and all the officers had left, Li Liejun's staff, Yu Bai, who was also a member of the League, came over and said, "Governor, Mr. Sun has called from there, saying that he has prompted the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in Sichuan to send a telegram against Yuan. If our side is in danger, he will spend a lot of money to ask the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to send troops to Hubei, attack the logistics and transportation lines of the Beiyang Army, and relieve our pressure. ”

Li Liejun shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Just those Sichuan troops who can't even have an old sleeve? It is simply impossible to expect them to attack the logistics and transportation lines of the Beiyang Army. Don't care about this Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, we still concentrate on fighting tomorrow's battle, as long as we eat or severely damage Li Chun's 6th Division, it is not impossible to cross the river and go on a northern expedition! ”

Yu Bai deeply agreed with this, nodded and smiled: "What the governor said is very true, with the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army, there is indeed nothing to look forward to. Mr. Sun must have been concerned about the chaos, so he thought of using the Sichuan army. ”

……

Obviously, whether it is Yuan Shikai in the north or the Kuomintang in the south, no one takes the impression of the Sichuan army like tofu scum in their eyes.

As for the anti-Yuan telegram of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, after most people learned about it, they just smiled disapprovingly, and then put it away, not thinking that this Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army could have any impact on the current war situation.
