Chapter 333 Protagonist and Supporting Role

108141908 Far Eastern madman

Try to cook deeply. The lights of Lao Qinzhuang are flashing in the makeup armor, and he is the first Xiao Ming of the Beiyang Army. Ministry of station.

Lao Qinzhuang is located in the northeast of Xinyang City, nearly twenty miles away from the Xinyang front, because it is far away from the front line. It is relatively safe here, so Wu Peihu deliberately transferred the headquarters of the Ninth Division from the south to Laoqinzhuang, and there is a dirt road extending to the east, the traffic conditions are relatively good, if it is necessary to retreat to the east, the headquarters of the Ninth Division can be evacuated in the shortest possible time.

It is precisely because of these advantages that Feng Guozhang, commander of the Second Army of the Beiyang Southward Advance, finally gave up the originally selected former enemy headquarters and set up the headquarters of the Second Army in Lao Qinzhuang, so from more than an hour ago, this Lao Qinzhuang also became the headquarters of the Second Army of the Beiyang Southward Advance.

Feng Guozhang returned to the front line of Xinyang with the rescue troops who went south from Changle Pass, because the Beiyang Army destroyed the railway line along the way, the reinforcements of the Beiyang troops who returned to Xinyang were actually on two legs, due to the lack of transportation, they carried not much ammunition and insertion, and those who could not bring with the army were all piled up at the Changle Pass Railway Station, and blown up into ashes together with the railway station.

Either the Beiyang Fourth Division and the Seventh Division were rescued, or the entire Beiyang Southward Second Army fought with the Southern Army under this Xinyang City, and everyone was scattered! In order to avoid worries, Feng Guozhang had already sent a telegram to Tianjin before leading the army to leave Changle Pass, and arranged it to his henchmen, if this battle failed, Feng Zaizhang did not plan to go back to Beijing to see Yuan Shikai at all, he wanted to take his family to the concession, if the concession did not take him in, he would go to a foreign country, anyway, the scapegoat of this north-south war could not be his turn Feng Guozhang to do!

However, Feng Guozhang cautiously kept silent about this idea, he didn't tell anyone, even the senior officers he brought back to Xinyang didn't know, in fact, now Feng Dashuai has already found a way out for himself, and even the clothes and hats for makeup are prepared, and the horses are the most inconspicuous but not slow-running Mongolian horses.

At the beginning, the commander of the second army of the Qing army, Shengyun, was able to flee back to Shaanxi from southern Henan alone, and now. This Feng Guozhi Feng Dashuai is planning to learn according to the gourd painting, that Shengyun is still a literati from the imperial examination, he can get out of the whole body, Feng Guozhang doesn't believe it, he, a Qiu Batou who was born in the army, is not as good as that Shengyun to escape Lizhuo!

Of course, this battle is still being fought, and the winner has not yet been decided, although Feng Guozhang is now a little more pessimistic and pessimistic, but the current situation has not yet reached the point of being out of control. I still need to cheer up my subordinates.

"Ziyu, I trust you. Before leaving Beijing, President Yuan Da specially called me to the presidential palace and said to me, you Wu Ziyu is a talent, but unfortunately your qualifications are shallow, so you can only be wronged to be the division commander first, and when you defeat the Southern Army, you will definitely be promoted. Now, our Beiyang Fourth and Seventh Divisions are still breaking through, it's up to your Ninth Division, if the Fourth and Seventh Divisions are rescued, I will personally take a telegram and ask President Yuan for credit! Knighted to you! Get you promoted! ”

Feng Jizhang swore an oath, full of empty checks, but Wu Peihu, who was standing in front of him, couldn't get excited.

Wu Peixiang had a thought in his heart, the current Ninth Division was no longer under his command.

"Feng Shuai, now that the republic is republic, there is no desire to be knighted." Wu Peihu really couldn't find anything to say, so he had to say a few perfunctory words.

"When the Southern Army is defeated, our Beiyang will sit in the world, and President Yuan Da is of course the best. He said that if he gave you a knighthood, he would give you a knighthood, but what dare others say? We have never had any republic in China, this is their group of revolutionary parties fooling around, their group of stunned young people know a fart, this governance cannot be achieved by law, it has to rely on fists! ”

Feng Guozhang said hatefully, of course, this is because of his hatred of the United Front, but he may not have complained about Yuan Shikai, if it weren't for Yuan Shikai's twisting and twisting to play some congressional election with the United Front, how could Beiyang be so passive now? In the final analysis, Yuan Shikai was a bitch and wanted to set up the archway, but the archway was pushed by the United Front before it was erected, and even with himself was recorded a fine light, maybe it won't be long before a person knows what kind of virtue the world-famous "China's first strongest army" Beiyang Army is, if the Beiyang Second Army was defeated by the United Front in Xinyang, then, I don't know how many people will jump out and fall into the ground in the future.

Whether Beiyang rises or falls, it depends on Feng Guozhuo's desperate battle, but Feng Guozhang has no bottom in his heart.

Yuan Shikai fought the Southern Revolutionary Army in order to unify the decree and establish the dominant position of Beiyang, but the reality shows that the current Beiyang Army does not have the strength to unify the whole country by force. On the contrary, it was the small "revolutionary armed forces of the United Front" in the south that showed a momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger in this battle, and compared with the United Front, the Beiyang can already see to some extent the situation of the declining western Liao.

Feng Guozhang was angry, and Wu Peihu was unbalanced.

Because Cao Zhi's Third Division of the Beiyang Army was defeated by the armored train of the Southern Army, the morale and morale of the army were dealt a fatal blow, and the troop structure and military discipline could not be maintained, so Feng Guozhang had to order the third division and the ninth division to be combined to form a mixed division to maintain combat effectiveness. Wu Peihu became a supporting role instead. Otherwise, he would now allow the training to stand here and listen to Feng Guozhang's nonsense.

This is the current Beiyang! The subordinate can ignore the orders of the superior as nothing, and the superior can also pretend not to see the disobedience of the subordinate in order to maintain the apparent authority, this is not a war, this is a singing!

Beiyang is a theater, this drama has been sung for several years, the protagonist on the stage has changed from Li Hongzhang to the current Yuan Shikai, and the supporting roles are also rotated like a marquee, but this scene is still the scene a few years ago, although the costumes have been changed, and the faces have been changed, but the rules have not changed, all the people are helping each other and tearing each other down, and there is only one purpose, that is, to take their own interests from this Beiyang drama, Yuan Shikai is appropriating interests, and Feng Guozhang is extracting concubines, Cao Jian is extracting interests, even he, Wu Peihu, is also invoking his own interests, when everyone's interests are the same, they can unite to help each other, but once there is a difference in interests, then they have to tear each other down. This is Beiyang.

What Cao Ling is thinking, Wu Peihu also knows in his heart. Now that the 3rd Beiyang Division has been defeated by the Southern Army, and the 9th Division has not yet dispersed, if Wu Peihu becomes the commander of the mixed division, then it will be the 9th Division that annexes the 3rd Division. It is very unfavorable to Cao Pai, and Yuan Shikai will be held accountable for the defeat in the future. Cao Jian will have no support and can only be slaughtered, but if Cao Ni takes the position of division commander, the situation will be different, and even if Yuan Shikai wants to hold Cao Ling responsible, he must first consider the mixed division in his hand, not to say well, it is Wu Peihu who comes out to play the role of a scapegoat.

Of course, Wu Peihu refused to give in, but the problem was. In terms of the blackness of the hand, he is far inferior to the Beiyang veteran Cao Key, when Cao Ling was fighting for the position of division commander, he didn't plan to reason with Wu Peihu at all, Cao Dashuai directly took a group of horses and rushed to Wu Peihu's division headquarters, without saying a word, with a wave of his hand, his men got off the horse and set up Wu Peihu and left, and then, the mixed division was surnamed Cao.

If this is left in normal times, Cao Suo's behavior is at best infighting, and at worst it is a rebellion. I want to let Yuan Shikai, who is strict in governing the army, know. At least it's a head-killing end.

But now is not peacetime, now is wartime, Cao Bank's risky move, like Feng Guozhang's idea of fighting, is to survive in the death, either to leave the loose meeting to turn the tables, or to lose all the money, anyway, there are ways for powerful people to retreat in these years. It's a big deal to hide in the concession, and Yuan Shikai can't help it.

This is not the first time that Cao Suo has resorted to this kind of dangerous trick. The last time the third town of Beiyang mutiny in the northeast was also a gamble by Cao Ling, but the last time the winning margin was very large, and this time the winning margin was very small.

After Wu Peihu was escorted out of the Ninth Town Headquarters by Cao Key's horse, Cao Suo immediately began to reorganize the Third Division and the Ninth Division, and then quickly reorganized the troops. pulled to the Eastern Front in one go, leaving only Wu Peihu alone to guard the division headquarters of the Ninth Division, surrounded by Cao Yin's people, until Feng Guozhang led the army back to the Xinyang front, Wu Peihu's identity changed from a prisoner back to the division commander, and the nominal commander of the mixed division.

Wu Peixiang couldn't take this breath and complained to Feng Guozhang about Cao Suo, but in exchange for Feng Guozhang's faint smile, as well as a warning of "eat a trench and grow a wisdom", and then, Feng Guozhang acted as if nothing had happened, and sent someone to find Cao Tong with his order, and inevitably a little reward, so that Cao Ling could fight with his life.

Beiyang has never been a place to be reasonable. I only believe in strength here, whoever has the strength will make sense, Cao Jian controls the mixed master, he is the reason, Wu Peixiang wants to reason with Cao Suo. As a result, he was pushed aside by Cao Ling with his strength. This is teaching, this is "eating a trench and growing a wisdom".

Feng Guozhang couldn't do anything about Cao Gong, Wu Peixiang could only stare at the division headquarters, and Feng Guozhuan was worried that he would go to Cao Ling to settle accounts, so he also forbade him to leave the division headquarters, and ordered him to accompany Feng Dashuai here to wait for Cao Ling's "good news."

What "good news" can Cao Yin have? The battle to cover the breakthrough of the Fourth Division and the Seventh Division has been fought in the middle of the night, but so far, Cao Zhou has not sent any good news back to the division headquarters, this battle is only perfunctory Feng Guozhang, and now the mixed division is his Cao Yin's capital to save his life, how can he give up his losses in the battle of Xinyang? If it weren't for Feng Guozhang leading the troops of Changle Pass to arrive in time, I'm afraid this night battle would have ceased fire a long time ago.

But Feng Guozhang could only follow Cao Ting's hair. There is no way, the troops he brought back from Changle Pass are not elite, and the elite is the current mixed division. Whether this desperate battle can be won or not depends on Cao Dashuai's conscience.

Just when Wu Peihu was slandering, an adjutant led a staff officer into the division headquarters, and the staff officer Wu Peihu recognized that it was an operational staff officer of his ninth division, but now he was only afraid that his surname was Cao. This can be proved from his performance after entering the door, he didn't look at Wu Peixiang at all. It's as if Master Wu is air.

People go to tea and cool, Beiyang values strength is not only those senior officers, middle and lower-level officers also only value the strength of their superiors, if you have strength, listen to you, go with you, if you don't have strength, you just sit on the cold bench.

The world is calm and cool, and Wu Peihu can only smile bitterly. Now on the front line of Xinyang, Cao Suo sings as the protagonist. His Wu family can only sing supporting roles, and as for Feng Guozhang and Feng Dashuai, I'm afraid that now he will only have the share of playing tricks.
