At the initiative of Cao Kun, Xu Shichang, who had been placed under house arrest in the presidential palace by Cao Rui, had no choice but to send a telegram to the whole country to remove Chang Zhenbang from all his official positions, and all his honors were cancelled. Chen Guangyuan, the former overseer of Zhejiang, was the patrol envoy of Zhejiang and Fujian, Ding Xiaolan, the envoy of the Zhaoqing Protector, was the overseer of Guangdong, Zhang Jingyao, the former overseer of Hunan, was the overseer of Jiangxi, Wang Zhanyuan, the former overseer of Hubei, was the patrol envoy of the two lakes, Hua Zhongtian, the former deputy envoy of the Southeast Economic Strategy, was the patrol envoy of the two Guangzhous, Zhang Youneng, the former lieutenant colonel and adjutant of the lieutenant colonel of the Southeast Economic Strategy, was the governor of Shandong Province and the commander of the Shandong garrison, and Bi Zehua, senior staff member of the State Council and senior minister of the Prime Minister's Cabinet, was the commander of the garrison in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Now Chang Zhenbang is wielding the Northern Expedition and fighting with the direct army in Handan, near Wuyi, which can be described as a narrow road to meet the brave wins! Wu Peifu's trick is really beautiful, what do you fight for life and death, isn't it just to get promoted to become rich and glorify your ancestors, and dominate one side to show off your might? Okay, I'll give it to you now, you don't need to be senior! You don't need to die on the battlefield, Lao Tzu will give it to you now, you must know that the promotion of a small soldier to a squad leader is a matter of the above sentence, and the promotion of the battalion commander to the regiment commander will see if he will be a man, but the position of the overseer is only a dozen out of the 40,000 people in the world, and the opportunity is really smaller than the eye of a camel through a needle, even if you are the division commander of the division and regiment, the brigade commander of the mixed brigade may not have a chance. Now that the presidential decree has lifted you, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know if you will have to wait until the year of the monkey! Now, as long as you nod your head and turn around as an Overseer, you don't have to take advantage of such a great opportunity.

Sure enough, as soon as this public telegram spread, the entire southeast was boiling, and half of the people who were named were ready to move, after the news reached Wuyi, He Zonglian was blue-faced, he did not have the title of Shandong Overseer, but the two nephews were appointed by Chang Zhenbang successively as deputy overseers, and became the veritable rulers of Shandong, and all the soldiers and horses under his command treated them as Shandong Overseers, so the war was also extraordinarily rushed, and now this telegram suddenly set off a stormy wave, Many middle- and lower-level officers almost gathered in front of He Zonglian's Chinese army tent, hoping that he could give an explanation, but He Zonglian didn't know how to say it, after all, although the president Xu Shichang was in name, all the decrees of the Republic of China, whether good or bad, were signed by him, although no one knew that he was an emperor of Han Xian, but the people still had a lot of prestige in their hearts. Just when he was at a loss, the second nephew He Fengyu tore open the curtain of the camp tent and walked out, shouting at the officers and soldiers who were pressed by the black pressure: "What are you copying!" Is it still a bit of a military man? ”

An officer stood behind the crowd with a cower and said, "The president's telegram has been telegraphed to the whole country, and the brothers have no idea in their hearts, and they still hope that the second general will give an explanation." ”

He Fengyu said: "Be a soldier and eat food, and take a salary to sell your life!" Has the southeast ever missed a grain of rice or a dollar for you? Not to mention those who are alive, but also those who are dead, have they ever been given less subsidy? ”

Everyone was speechless, if you want to say where Chang Zhenbang's southeast army is good, the people in the southeast will say that the welfare is good, there are a lot of lives, and it doesn't matter if you die, and the people outside say that you don't take and don't buy things to give money, only these two items exceed many other factions, and every year there are many young and middle-aged people who sharpen their heads and squeeze inside, according to this strength, even if the imperial court dismisses Chang Zhenbang's official position, there will be no damage to the southeast.

Seeing that everyone was silent, He Fengyu strode forward and stretched out his hand to pull out the person who asked the question just now from the silent crowd and threw it on the ground, and said with a dark face: "Tie up, camp around, and show the public!" ”

The man was also surprised to close his mouth, and when he understood, he had been gagged by the guards, and no matter how he struggled, the guards slipped away like a dead dog, but he was afraid that his head fell and he didn't know what was wrong.

After He Fengyu saw that this person was gone, he turned his face to the officers and soldiers around him and said: "This person is a direct spy, I have been in Shandong for a long time, and this official still thinks that he has reformed himself, who knows that this official has raised tigers to cause trouble for the big guy today, and now this person has been punished by military law, but anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be shown to the public and will not be tolerated!" Okay, let's disperse, let's get in place, don't leave the enemy a chance to take advantage of! ”

After the officers and soldiers surrounding the camp dispersed, He Zonglian slowly walked out of his Chinese army tent, looked at the back of the departure, and couldn't help sighing: "I know everything just now, and this matter is handled very properly, but the anger is too heavy, and the difficulty of sleep hurts the harmony." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I have sent someone to send a pension to the brother's family, and ask the relevant departments to pay a pension according to the death of a middle-class officer!"

"It's hard for you to be so thoughtful, Master Chang really didn't see the wrong person!" He Zonglian sighed softly, glanced at He Fengyu, who looked like a student receiving a lecture, and continued: "On the eve of this Northern Expedition, Tang Baichuan once had a night conversation with his uncle and talked about you, and he said that Master Chang has always been very optimistic about you, and before the battle of Shanghai, it was also for you to pull your brother into the southeast camp. ”

"No, it won't! That's what I said. He Fengyu said with a smile.

"Today, I saw that you handled this matter vigorously and resolutely, without delay, only to find out that Master Chang, who has never met you, knows you better than my uncle and me, and I am really ashamed! Just by knowing people, it is not a fluke that Chang Daren rose in the southeast. Follow him and do a good job, maybe after this Northern Expedition, it will be a new era of great unification. He Zonglian sighed and said, from this point of view, he looks much older.

"Lord Chang appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, which shows that my uncle is still old and strong!"

"I'm just your guide." He Zonglian sighed and said, "President Yuan is in Bintian, my era has come to an end. From now on, it will be Chang Daren and you people, and after the Northern Expedition, it will be the day when I will return to my hometown again. ”

"Uncle thinks too much, Lord Chang uses you, there must be something to do, I can't say that my uncle will shine like Ma Yuan in his old age!"

"It's stupid for people to know when it begins, but it's stupid and deadly to not know when it will end!" He Zonglian said lightly, he seemed to accept his fate, but he was a little unwilling, but after all, he was well versed in the way of Chinese officialdom, shook his head, got into the camp, and then the adjutant came out and said to He Fengyu: "The commander-in-chief said that he is not in good health and cannot give effective military orders to the brothers, and from now on, the meaning of the second general is the meaning of the old general." ”

He Fengyu nodded and said, "Tell the old army, I know." Feng Yu will definitely not disappoint his old man's hopes, please rest assured that the old general. After speaking, he took half a step forward, took the adjutant's hand, and said, "Please take care of your uncle for our brothers." ”

The adjutant smiled and said, "This is a matter of duty!" I can't afford to be a second general. ”

Cai Chengxun's army really launched the most fierce attack on this side at the first time, in his impression that the army should have no morale, and the southeast army should be defeated at the touch of a button, who knows that these people were fiercely attacked by He Fengyu, after thinking of the welfare of the Southeast Army, the morale was better than before, even if Cai Chengxun was given a head-on blow, so that Cai Chengxun suffered a dumb loss, but Cai Chengxun's department was overwhelming, and there were Peng Shouxin's troops and Liu Zhenhua's strategy next to them, which was really surrounded by the enemy on three sides, almost equivalent to entering the enemy's encirclement, He Fengyu had to pay some casualties and continue to retreat to Jing County, but Cai Chengxun's department bit He Fengyu's tail like a dead dog, and followed him all the way to Jing County, after a fierce battle, the casualties were not large but could only retreat to the city of Dezhou in Shandong, relying on the capital city of Dezhou on the one hand to confront Cai Chengxun, on the other hand, to take the opportunity to replenish a little troops.

After repelling He Zonglian's uncle and nephew in Wuyi, Peng Shouxin and Liu Zhenhua turned around and rushed to the He Fenglin department who came to reinforce the department, and the two sides beat He Fenglin to the ground in a big battle, fortunately there was Wang Guilan, Lu Yongxiang followed, so that He Fenglin avoided the tragedy of the annihilation of the whole army, after all, the two of them are old people in Anhui, after the fall of Premier Duan and hid in Tianjin, they carried out a lot of ideological education in order to avoid the army being captured, and also made the turmoil of the recall telegram useless to them, After the three men and horses repelled the fierce offensive of Peng Shouxin's department, while Peng Shouxin's department was not on guard, he immediately led his troops back to Shandong, and rushed to Dezhou overnight, echoing the situation with He Zonglian's department, the morale of the Fourth Army was greatly shocked, Cai Chengxun's department retreated into the vicinity of the old city after hearing the news, and the two sides confronted each other with Zhili and Shandong Province as the line, Peng Shouxin's department saw that he missed the opportunity and had to rush to Liu Zhenhua's department after hearing the news, and the results of the Fourth Army's Northern Expedition were lost.

When the news came, the southeast shook, and Qi Xieyuan, the envoy of Shanghai Town, immediately announced that he would accept the appointment of President Xu Shichang and send troops to Shandong to take over the position of Shandong Overseer, and Zhang Jingyao, the overseer of Hunan, also immediately led several divisions in Changsha City to Jiujiang to kill. Zhang Youneng thought about it in every possible way, and finally took Dongying's concubine and entered Shandong from the sea on the Dongying steamer. In addition, the rest of the people named in Xu Shichang's telegram did not move, but Zhang Youneng's departure was like a bombshell thrown into the water, arousing the reaction of the neighboring provinces around the southeast, it is said that those Hubei troops who planned to enter Shaanxi have stopped, and Tang Jiyao, who had just signed an armistice agreement, also had Chen Bing, Guilin and other Yunnan-Jiangxi border lines.

A thick wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the smell of broken drums and 10,000 people began to diffuse, but Chang Zhenbang, as the supreme commander of the Southeast Army, continued to discuss with Chen Jiongming how to win the battle of Handan, the Third Army Revolutionary Army, Sun Monkey may be able to shake the morale of the army, and the Beijing government's set of use on the Fourth Army is good, and it will not work here, and even on the day of the recall telegram, it was fiercely contested with the Wu army near the small fortress near Handan, although only a few were blown up, and I can't see how much success there is. But it also allowed Wu Peifu to see what Chen Jiongming's style was.

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "This Wu Peifu is really clever, a telegram will mess up my southeast, but he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, just whoever shows up, he will hit whom, but it will save us trouble." ”

Chen Jiongming said: "This is a trivial matter, the Fourth Army has been driven back to Shandong, if we don't make a big news near Handan, I'm afraid that as soon as public opinion blows, those neutral people will also fall with the wind." ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded, glanced up at Lin Yan, and said, "Have you prepared everything ready?" Tomorrow Lao Tzu will be of great use! ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, everything is ready."

"Very well, then let's have big news tomorrow! Wu Dashuai let us have a good time, and we should also let Wu Dashuai have a good time. ”
