Chapter 309: Xiao Zhan Zhang Wensheng
Since the 4th issue of the student movement, there has been a state of intensification that has become more and more intense, from Xu Shichang to Duan Qirui to the peddlers and pawns, all of whom have fallen into a state of panic, and the whole of Beijing has fallen into a state of stagnation, and the military and police, who were disgusted in the past, have now become the guiding light for the common people to take refuge. Those wolf-like students rushed to the street, no matter what kind of poor person you are, as long as there are Dongying goods, they will first collect your stall, and then go to raid your house with majesty and high spirits, even those who make a living by picking up rags are also a disaster from the sky. It is the comprador families of those big families who have high walls and dogs who are ruthless to protect their own safety, and the most pitiful are those young women wearing Dongying clothes, who were stripped of their essence and thrown into the street in broad daylight by these students full of new morality.
There is even the so-called patriotic leader Kuang Hu who burned Zhao's house and beat Zhang Zongxiang with a majestic style, forcing the Chinese delegates to refuse to sign at the Paris Peace Conference, so that China, as a victorious country, finally revealed a little interest from the fingers of the great powers, and some people even advocated that this was a great victory, and if there was no such movement, Beijing would be stable, and China would not be able to get Qingdao, but it would be able to get some reparations from those defeated countries in the Gengzi period and the loss of foreign antique cultural relics. It is a pity that all this was in vain under the instructions of some ulterior motives, and as a result, China just did not sign, and of course the interests of the victorious country that won did not exist, and as for Qingdao, it was not settled, and it also took the stable life of countless Li people, and the greatest benefit was to aggravate the incompetence and decadence of the Beijing government, and also to take shape of diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
In the past, Wu Peifu, who boasted of Guan Yu and Yue Fei, took the opportunity to unite with the provincial overseers to demand that China's diplomacy be toughened and severely punish Duan Qirui, the leader of the Qinying Dynasty, Cao Rulin, Zhang Zongxiang, Lu Zongyu, and the Anhui warlords in various places.
As soon as the telegram came out, the Anhui warlords in various localities sent telegrams to the central authorities to raise strong objections and issued statements, saying that they were meritorious men who urged China to join the Entente to fight in the war. Xu Shichang was speechless about this, and immediately became furious, reprimanding Wu Peifu for being ridiculous, and after removing Wu Peifu from all official and military positions, he also knew that the authority of the central government was seriously challenged at this time, and it was difficult to gain and lose at every turn, so he submitted his resignation to the Senate and the House of Representatives.
As early as the end of the European war and the beginning of the peace conference, Sun Monkey, who was originally opposed to participating in the war, suddenly took the merits of participating in the war to his side with great fanfare, this is the glory of Beiyang, how can he give it to others, Sun Monkey threatened to send troops to Hunan, Xu Shuzheng saw that the situation was not good, and persuaded Duan Qirui to temporarily return to Tianjin, and launched Qian Nengxun to form a cabinet as the premier, and he couldn't clean up Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang simply dismissed Qian Nengxun as an explanation to the people.
Wu Peifu was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Shichang's actions, and immediately played the banner of "Qing Guo's side, rebel against thieves", and convened representatives of the foreign army and its subordinate troops in Zhili, Central China, and Hubei provinces to hold a rally. Representatives of the armies in various places expressed their willingness to follow Wu Peifu to fight for the country, so at the rally, the three provinces jointly elected Cao Kun as the commander-in-chief of the rebel coalition army, Bi Zehua, the overseer of Central China, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Wang Zhanyuan as the chief of staff, Sun Chuanfang as the left counselor, and Wu Peifu as the right Fu army, and left for Beijing from now on.
When the news came, the whole country was shaken, and those who shouted patriotic slogans were even more jubilant, and major newspapers also praised Wu Peifu's move.
For Wu Peifu's measures, Duan Qirui has long been prepared accordingly, which is also an important reason why Duan Qirui will give up the position of prime minister to Qian Nengxun, after all, having soldiers in hand is the king in these years, and everything else is accessory.
After Duan Qirui returned to Tianjin, he immediately convened a secret military meeting to transfer Xu Shuzheng's Northwest Frontier Army to deploy near Beijing. As soon as Wu Peifu sent troops, he mobilized the Northwest Frontier Army to advance westward, and the two armies of Zhiwan met in Zhuozhou, Gaobeidian, and Liulihe on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway Line on the east and west sides of Beijing to start a tragic battle.
At the same time, Chang Zhenbang led the army just arrived in Haizhou, and before he packed up, he received Wu Peifu's rebellion telegram, and after receiving the news, he immediately announced his support for Wu Peifu's rebellion, and thought that he was the commander-in-chief of the southeast rebellion, Chen Jiongming was the deputy commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and attacked Xuzhou at nine o'clock that night, at this time, Zhang Wensheng, the envoy of Xuzhou Town, was discussing with Ni Jinyong, a confidant of Ni Sichong, the overseer of Anhui Province, to send troops to Zhili, and when Wu Peifu was attacked by the Dingguo army in the north and south, he heard the lights outside the door, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Zhang Wensheng was furious, said to the adjutant: "Go out and see, what's going on outside so panicked!" ”
Soon, the adjutant came back and said: "Oh no, Lord Commander of the town guard, Chang Zhenbang of the southeast patrol has rebelled against Wu Peifu's call, and has led three divisions and two mixed brigades into Xuzhou, and wants to take over my Xuzhou barracks!" ”
"What!" Zhang Wensheng was shocked when he heard this, his face suddenly became blue, there is a gun in troubled times is the king of grass, he Zhang Wensheng pit Zhang Xun, and took forty battalions of the pigtail army, so that he became the fragrant bait in the hands of Ni Sichong, if this Xuzhou military camp let Chang Zhenbang take over, the world is so big, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate people like him who sell his lord to seek glory, thinking of this, he immediately asked the adjutant to prepare horses, and rushed to the military camp with the three battalions of people who guarded the town guard.
The Dingwu army in the Xuzhou military camp left Zhang Wensheng's cronies, those officers and soldiers who were not close to him were either dismissed and returned, or assigned to Anhui to return to Ni Sichong's moderation, in short, the loyalty of this army still reassured Zhang Wensheng, the only thing that worried him was that Chang Zhenbang's army attacked the barracks, and the Anwu army would collapse under the sudden attack of the dragons, and the only way to rush to the barracks as soon as possible and sit in command, although it could not compete with Chang Zhenbang's southeast army, it was good to wait until the Anwu army of Anhui Ni Sichong came over, at that time, Chang Zhenbang is a great ability, and he is helpless.
When he rushed to the Xuzhou military camp with the army in a hurry, who knew that he was about to arrive, the bridge at the place where he must pass collapsed, Zhang Wensheng was furious and immediately sent people to find the road, while laying the pontoon bridge, after the pontoon bridge was assumed, Zhang Wensheng immediately commanded the army to rush to the barracks, who knew that his three battalions of men and horses had just passed a battalion and a half, and there was a loud rumbling sound in the depths of the dense forest on both sides, countless southeast armies from both sides and behind Zhang Wensheng killed, Zhang Wensheng was taken aback, and immediately turned to the front of the palace, While fighting with the Southeast Army, while arming defenses, this Dingwu Army was really good, and after only five or six minutes of panic, it arranged a simple fortification according to local conditions and fought with the Southeast Army. It is no wonder that Zhang Xun dared to use this army to go south to quell the rebellion, restore it in the north, and deter Jiangsu, Anhui, and Shandong provinces.
Chen Jiongming's evaluation of the Guangdong army that he has trained and woven is still very high, and he thinks that his army's combat effectiveness is under the Beiyang Third Division and the Beiyang Sixth Army, but it is above the rest of the Beiyang armies, but he is really hit by this test, only three battalions of the Dingwu Army are so powerful, and the world is so big that I don't know how many unknown strong army brigades, I can't help but sigh a lot, but now there is a Guangdong army division and a mixed brigade here, there are many people, there are enough weapons, and it is to fight with intention or not. If this person is defeated, this man will be a great loss. Even if Chang Zhenbang knows that he uses him, he will inevitably use the way of military training. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Chen Jiongming called Zhang Kuifa over and said, "Brother, you immediately rush over with the men and horses of the headquarters, and I will let the artillery cover you!" Only by capturing Zhang Wensheng alive can our Guangdong army wash away today's shame! Otherwise, in the world, where is there a place for my brother! ”
Zhang Fakui hesitated slightly, Chen Jiongming is going to use his men and horses as cannon fodder, this is the foundation of his life in the future, but if he doesn't follow the death squad, so many of his people will be defeated by three battalions of people in the case of a sneak attack, how can he boast of his military might in the future? It's the rebellion, I'm afraid that those scared soldiers won't participate, after thinking of this, Zhang Fakui gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, don't worry, even if you beat up your brother's team, you will also win Zhang Wensheng!" After saying that, he turned his head and left, and let the trumpeter blow the trumpet of the charge and gather the army. Under the cover of Chen Jiongming's artillery fire, he took Ma Ben and rushed over to fight with those Dingwu troops.
"Lord Guard, the brethren can't stand it! Let's withdraw! A dusty battalion commander suggested.
Zhang Wensheng paused for a moment, and then said, "Have you found another way?" ”
"I found it, but that road is really not easy to walk!" The officer sent to explore the path said: "I can't get up a horse, I can only walk." ”
"People can't take care of it, who can take care of the horse?" Zhang Wensheng said: "The second battalion and the first battalion alternately cover each other, the third battalion opens the way, and the brothers go with the officer!" ”
An order was given, and the Dingwu army began to prepare for the transfer, first the third battalion made a beautiful counter-charge, driving Zhang Fakui's headquarters back, and then the second battalion began to attack fiercely, and after the first battalion arranged the fortifications behind them, the third battalion also retreated, supporting Zhang Wensheng to withdraw, and the second battalion saw that the third battalion retreated, and began to move back step by step. During the movement, the artillery fire of the Dingwu Army became more intense than ever. Even if Zhang Fakui wanted to press over and fill it with his life, it was a pity that this kind of action was useless in the fierce artillery fire, and after everyone reacted, the Dingwu army had retreated for about fifteen miles.
At this time, Chen Jiongming immediately made a decision to let his division immediately pounce like a tiger descending the mountain, this Dingwu army really deserves to be a brave division, the two battalions of men and horses alternate with each other, stunned Chen Jiongming and others dragged for more than half an hour, before being defeated by the Southeast Army, which can be described as a residual victory, if you count the post-war facts that Zhang Wensheng took most of the men and horses of the third battalion away, the Guangdong army was completely defeated in this battle.
"Brother is incompetent, let Zhang Wensheng run away, and I hope the adults will punish him!" Zhang Fakui said very bleakly.
Chen Jiongming sighed and said: "Morale can not be vented, my brother is a top priority, you give me an order immediately, and say that after our army pays a little, it will win a complete victory and defeat Zhang Wensheng's thirteenth regiment." ”
Zhang Fakui was stunned for a moment, and randomly understood that this was Chen Jiongming's propaganda war to inspire the morale of the army, and he immediately carried it out.
Chen Jiongming snorted coldly, and said to himself: "The Dingwu Army is really powerful, and Zhang Wensheng is also a character, but it's a pity that Master Chang has already calculated everything, this is just a cat and mouse game, do you think you can escape!" ”
