Chapter 431: Martial Law in Yangzhou, Martial Law in Jiangbei!
During the lunch break, Wang Yongan immediately sent a secret telegram to the division commanders with Li Yao, informing them to prepare for the liberation of Jiangbei, Li Zuzhi, commander of the Second Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Xuzhou, and all the officers immediately expressed their support, Liu Hui, commander of the Third Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Huaibei, and all the officers called back to obey the commander, Fan Wentai, commander of the Fifth Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Taizhou, and all the officers warmly welcomed him, and Gong Xuewen, commander of the Seventh Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Fengyang Mansion, and all the officers expressed their willingness to look forward to the commander. Huang Zhan, commander of the Ninth Division of the Jiangbei Army, who succeeded the Eighth Division stationed in Pukou, also expressed his positive support. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Li Shirui, commander of the Eighth Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Anqing Mansion, not only received a secret telegram from Guangfu, but also received a commendation and promotion order, and became the deputy chief of general staff of the Jiangbei Army.
Li Shirui called back and said that Zhang Xun's whole army had already sent it to Shandong, and at this time it had already passed the Xuzhou defense line and should go to Jining. He also telegraphed back that the whole army had expressed their support for the matter of recovering the Qing Dynasty, and that the Qing Dynasty had already declined, and it was imperative to change the dynasty. And today, warlords are everywhere, and in the future, China will fall into an era of warlords and heroes, Wang Yunshuai has already made a plan, regardless of whether the republic of Laoshzi is a republic or not, and there will inevitably be a warlord group in China in the future. Our Jiangbei Group should make plans as soon as possible, whether it is a slow plot or a coquettish, and ask Yun Shuai to decide.
In the next two hours, Wang Yongan received calls from various ministers and officers one after another, and he was in a good mood and asked Bai Dequan to directly read out the calls one by one to everyone. Seeing the support of the generals, everyone was more determined in their hearts to recover, and with the reading of the last call in support, everyone had no doubts about whether to recover.
The recovery of Jiangbei is imminent!
And the reply of Li Shirui, the new deputy chief of staff and commander of the Eighth Division, caused waves in the hearts of the generals, yes, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably collapse, and the warlords of the world are vying for the world, and the Jiangbei Military Group is located in the Central Plains where the four wars are fighting, and it is inevitable to fall into it. Taking a step back is destruction, Jiangbei can't retreat, Jiangbei Group can only plot the world, and a battle with Yuan Shikai is inevitable.
In the afternoon, Jiang Dengxuan immediately led people to Nanjing, and Wei Wenkang began to inform important people in Jiangbei to participate in the Jiangbei military, government and civilian conference two days later.
Nantong Zhangfu, Zhang Jian is reading some of the achievements of Datong Yarn Factory, due to the war in the south of the Yangtze River, the business of Datong Yarn Factory plummeted, but fortunately, there was no chaos to harass and attack the battlefield, and there was no ruffian hooligan extortion of the yarn factory, but the goods could not be sold, which made Zhang Jian have some worries. Speaking of Zhang Jian's return to Nantong, it was more or less Wang Yongan's victimization, Zhang Jian's failure to win over Wang Yongan, was impeached by everyone, some people thought that Zhang Jian was originally one with Wang Yongan, and some people even suggested that Zhang Jian was Wang Yongan's undercover agent sent by Yuan Shikai's side. As the so-called three people become tigers, Zhang Jian was dismissed from the post of chief minister of agriculture and industry, and his term of office was only three months.
Zhang Jian also saw through that Yuan Shikai did not want a domestic republic, and was very disappointed in his heart, and after being impeached, Zhang Jian took advantage of the situation to resign directly in Nantong, stay at home to sort out business, and pay attention to the situation of all parties at any time. During this period, the Southern Revolutionary Party once sent someone to contact him to go to Nanjing, but Zhang Jian refused, and some people supported his recovery in Nantong, and he was actually driven away - joke, although Nantong is located in a corner of the Soviet Union, but the Fifth Division of the Jiangbei Army stationed in Taizhou is by no means vegetarian, and those who make a revolution only know how to make a revolution, but they don't know how to make a revolution in Jiangbei, but it depends on Wang Yongan's eyes.
"Master, urgent electricity." The butler Ah Fu walked over.
Zhang Jian took the telegram, his brows were furrowed, Wang Yongan urgently invited him to go to Yangzhou, and he must arrive tomorrow, which made him have some surprises.
The road between Nantong and Yangzhou takes two days, if the two-day journey only takes one day and one night, Zhang Jian thinks that he will be able to arrive tomorrow when he sets off now, but the most tricky thing now is that Wang Yongan is eager to see him.
Zhang Jian immediately judged that something big must have happened in Yangzhou!
After resigning from Yuan Shikai's subordinates, Zhang Jian recuperated at home, and Wang Yongan did not invite Zhang Jian out of the mountain for the time being in order to avoid suspicion, but this time Wang Yongan asked him to arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow, which was too unexpected for him.
"Perhaps, Wang Jingyun has officially turned his face with Yuan Shikai." Zhang Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but if there was really a war between the two sides, what choice would he make? Zhang Jian and Wang Yongan are business partners, and politically they are just fellow villagers, but if you want to say that you are friends with each other, there is also a difference in relationship. If he stands behind Wang Yongan, he will definitely not be tolerated by the northern people in the future, but if he stands by Yuan Shikai's side, he will be abandoned by his fellow villagers in the future - it is really a dilemma.
"Slow down and see." Zhang Jian played a trick, two days later, if he didn't catch up with the Jiangbei Military, Political and People's Conference......
"Ah Fu, prepare the boat, we still have to go to Yangzhou, after all, we are still the people under the jurisdiction of the Jiangbei Protector Army." Zhang Jian said with a smile.
Although the rest of the people had their own thoughts, they also expressed their willingness to go, especially the Jiangbei gentry in Yangzhou were inevitably invited. In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Zhaokui, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Jiangbei Army, led people to surround the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, and collected all the arms of the patrol battalion of the Chen Zi battalion, and ordered the soldiers of the patrol battalion not to move without orders, which really frightened everyone.
The telegraph office was also controlled, and all news sent from Yangzhou to the outside world was controlled by the military, and the business of many big salt merchants was forced to stop. Coupled with the siege of the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, rumors soon spread in Yangzhou City.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the rest of the troops of the First Division of the Jiangbei Army left the Jingfa Temple, entered the inner city of Yangzhou City fully armed, and began martial law, while the Fourth Division of the Jiangbei Army was fully armed to impose martial law on the outer city of Yangzhou and Jiangdu County, and the Sixth Division of the Jiangbei New Army entered a combat state and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Even fools are aware of the danger of Yangzhou City, realize that something important has happened in Yangzhou City, and some people even talk about the assassination of Wang Yongan by the Jiangbei Protector - naturally this rumor was quickly shattered, and the Yangzhou prefect announced that in accordance with the order of Wang Yong'an, the Jiangbei Protector, the entire Jiangbei entered a state of emergency. Only then did people realize that not only Yangzhou was so nervous, but the whole Jiangbei was very nervous, and maybe something urgent was really happening—or something big was about to happen.
The agents of all parties lurking in Yangzhou are very anxious, after the martial law in Yangzhou, more than a dozen citizens who do not respect the martial law order have been killed, this time the military people are not joking, they are indiscriminate, as long as they violate the order to kill.
