108908 Far East Madman Chapter 380 hesitating

Zhen Jianzhang and the others were wandering in the conference room at the same time. On the Guishan Mountain in Jiaoyintian, Nanjing, there was also an officer who was hesitating and helpless.

This officer is Xu Baoshan, the guard of northern Jiangsu, he is now standing on the commanding heights of Fugui Mountain, and the emotions in his heart are not only hesitation and helplessness, but also a little regret.

Xu Baoshan regretted that he shouldn't have gone so far. He regretted even more that he shouldn't have drunk so much last night. He should not be instigated to attack Zhang Yongcheng's Fifth Division.

Last night, I finally heard the news that Lu Jianzhang mediated the conflict between Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng, Xu Baoshan was angry for a while, and at the same time a little frustrated, so he rushed to Xuanwu Tower to drink with the two commissioners of the United Front, Hu Mo and Li Jiaohe. First, it is to find someone to discuss countermeasures, and secondly, it is also to use wine to drown sorrows.

People who are depressed are more likely to get drunk, so many bowls of Shaoxing old wine were poured down, Xu Baoshan's anger not only did not disappear, but became stronger, and the sorrow did not go. On the contrary, he was even more worried, but he was picked up by Hu Xi, Li Fan and the two, and Xu Zhen's mind was so hot, so he took advantage of the strength of the wine and pulled the team to Zhang Yongcheng's division headquarters, and falsely passed on Meng Enyuan's military order, saying that the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army would be disarmed.

Originally, according to the suggestions of Hu Xu, Li Zahe and the two, this move was to separate Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng and add fuel to the fire between the two, so as to sabotage Lu Jianzhang's attempt to talk about it and the two.

Xu Baoshan also thought it was a good idea at first. But when this action was implemented, Xu Baoshan regretted it, after all, the other party was the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army, which was a regular army, and compared with the salt lord team of less than 10,000 people under his command, the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army was a tiger Ben, and it was easy to pack up Xu Baoshan's team.

In fact, when Zhang Yongcheng refused to disarm, as soon as the gunshots rang out, Xu Baoshan's wine woke up more than half, and he was scared into a cold sweat at that time, for fear that the other party would come to a defensive counterattack and give his team a spoonful. Even if you can't be an official, at least find a talisman.

However, after the two sides really fought, Xu Baoshan was surprised to find that Zhang Yongcheng seemed to be more weak than him, not long after the battle, Zhang Yongcheng escaped from Nanjing City with the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army, and turned to Yuhuatai to hold on, the other party did not even dare to engage in short combat, but only bombarded the city with field artillery, which made it convenient for Xu Baoshan's team to rob in the city.

Perhaps, Zhang Yongcheng thought that Meng Enyuan really planned to deal with him, so he hurriedly fled from the city with his troops, otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why he was so weak-hearted.

However, Xu Baoshan was not elated by Zhang Yongcheng's escape, because he soon found that the development of things was somewhat beyond his control, which was first manifested in the robbery in the city, most of the soldiers who participated in the robbery were the soldiers of his Xu Zhen guard, if this was investigated, a charge of "arson and killing the people" may not be able to escape, secondly, the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army dared to fire artillery into the city, which really surprised Xu Baoshan, his troops did not have decent artillery, A small number of mortars purchased from the Hanyang Arsenal had a limited range. It was not enough to fight against the field artillery, and the artillery operation of the Fifth Division showed that Zhang Yongcheng was indeed very annoyed, that is, he regarded Xu Baoshan as an enemy who did not share the sky.

Thereupon. Xu Baoshan quickly became panicked, and the wine was completely awake.

Since then, Xu Baoshan has moved his headquarters from Xihuamen to Fuguishan, because it is the closest to Taipingmen, it is very convenient to escape from the city, and the terrain here is also very high, you can look down on the whole city, once the military deployment in the city is unfavorable to Xu Baoshan, he can immediately take the guards out of the city and flee to Hangzhou.

However, in this way, even the subordinates could not find the Xu Zhen guard, and the robbery in the city continued until dawn, and when the subordinates finally figured out that the Xu Zhen guard was in Fugui Mountain, they came to ask for instructions on the collection of troops, Xu Baoshan then issued an order to collect the troops, and Ding instructed his subordinates to transfer the most elite and reliable troops to Fuguishan and Taipingmen to station, and if necessary, they could protect Xu Zhen's guard to escape.

At least so far, except for some troops enforcing martial law in the city, no abnormal movements have been found, and Zhang Yongcheng's Fifth Division is still holding on to Yuhuatai, but Xu Baoshan is not at ease, he has been holding a telescope and looking at the barracks in the city.

This is a German-made binoculars, the latest product, and there is a deciden scale on the lens. It's just that Xu Baoshan doesn't know how to use it, this is what Yang Ruiwen got when he went to Wuhan last time, and it was Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the revolutionary armed forces of the United Front, who personally ordered it to be transferred from the logistics headquarters and presented it to Yang Ruiwen, and later Yang Ruiwen followed Hu Iodine from Anhui to Nanjing, and gave this telescope to Xu Baoshan, the chief scoop handle, and now, Xu Baoshan can't put down this telescope and always carries it with him.

Standing on the commanding heights of Fugui Mountain and watching for a while, Xu Yanshan twisted his brows and handed the telescope to a cronie, ordering him to continue to monitor the movement of the garrison in the city here, and then walked towards the mountainside with his hands behind his back.

On top of this, Xu Baogong has been thinking about a question, is he going to Hangzhou to join the United Front now? Or continue to stay in Nanjing? If he goes to Hangzhou now, he will be a lost dog and will not be valued by the United Front, but if he continues to stay in Nanjing, he must risk being attacked militarily.

When I arrived in the yard, I happened to see Yang Ruiwen rubbing his temples and walking out of the house, Xu Baoshan said: "You are idle, Lao Tzu didn't dare to sleep all night when he was worried, you are good, sleep until dawn." ”

Yang Ruiwen smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, you can scold if you want, I have just heard about last night's battle from Ma He, but unfortunately I was drunk at that time, but I couldn't see Brother Xu's heroic command." ”

"Listen to those ruffians! Lao Tzu is regretting it now, if you were young and didn't get drunk, Lao Tzu might not have fought this battle

Xu Baoshan scolded a few words, pulled Yang Ruiwen into the house, ordered Ma He to guard the door, and the two discussed in a whisper in the house.

Yang Ruiwen only understood Xu Baoshan's worries at this time, and after being surprised, he said:

"So, we've been shot by those two commissioners! If I could speak at that time, I would definitely not let Brother Xu do this, no wonder those two commissioners tried to persuade me to drink at that time, they just wanted to get me drunk. ”

Yang Ruiwen is not as white as Xu Baoshan. He was born in Wu Xiucai, and it may be an exaggeration to say "wisdom and bravery", but it is true that he can be literate and martial, and he quickly figured out Xu Baorang's current embarrassing situation.

Listening to Yang Ruiwen's analysis, Xu Baoshan suddenly became angry, he hated being used by others the most, and it didn't matter if he was used by Zhao Bei, after all, Chairman Zhao had signs of sitting in the world, but those two commissioners also dared to use him, which was simply unbearable.

Just when Xu Baoshan was angry, he heard a few shouts from the head outside the door.

"My lord, Mr. Hu and Mr. Li ask to see me."

"Just in time! Lao Tzu was about to ask them for clarification! Xu Baoshan took the case, but was immediately stopped by Yang Ruiwen.

"Brother Xu, now we have no way out, this united front is our only backer, if we offend these two commissioners, they say a few words of slander in front of the chairman, we can't bear it. You, still suppress the fire in your heart, first envelop them, no matter what, you have to pat them on the chest and vouch for the "Governor of Jiangsu, take it in your hands, and when we have our own territory, we don't have to look at people's faces." ”

Yang Ruiwen's words reminded Xu Baoshan, and he immediately calmed down, changed his face, walked out of the door, and personally greeted the two commissioners of the United Front.

Those two people are Hu Heng and Li Suhe, at this moment, both of them are smiling, quite a bit of spring breeze.

Can you be upset? made a pound, "Agitation." Let Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng, who were about to get back together, parted ways again, and this time, Zhang Yongcheng not only pushed himself to the edge of the cliff, but also put Beiyang in the situation that Wanfu pointed out. For their own selfish interests, the Beiyang generals brazenly shelled the city regardless of the safety of the people in the city, which is simply the best footnote to the "war crime", and it is of the same nature as the Qing navy's shelling of Anqing.

"If the commander of the Xu Zhen guard is determined, he will defeat the Beiyang Fifth Division in one fell swoop, I really admire it very much, to put it disrespectfully, if the commander of the second army in the south of Beiyang is the Xu Zhen guard, the second army of Beiyang will not be wiped out in southern Henan."

When Li Sue and saw Xu Baoshan's face, he gave him a high hat, but the other party was obviously allergic to the phrase "command is determined". So I didn't take it at all.

"Two commissioners, not resting at the hotel at the foot of the mountain, why do you come to me? Tell the truth. Now that I have offended the Beiyang generals, this rich mountain may become a battlefield at any time, and it is not safe to stay with me. Xu Baoshan said expressionlessly.

"We know that the troops of the Xu Zhen Guard are in control of the Taipingmen, and we want to go out of the city to take a telegram asking for merit for the Xu Zhen Guard, so that the chairman of the committee can remember the great contributions made by the Xu Zhen Guard for the revolutionary cause." Li Fan said seriously.

"Where do you go to shoot telegrams?" Xu Baoshan asked.

"Now that the whole city is under martial law, the telegraph office does not send civil telegrams, we plan to go outside the city, but if it doesn't work, we will go to Wuxi to shoot telegrams."

"Together? Just shoot the telegram alone. ”

The meaning of Xu Baoshan's words could not be clearer, he was afraid that these two people would run away, and wanted to keep a "commissioner" as a hostage, so as not to be sold and help the number of silver, as a political speculator, his behavior is also normal, and the two commissioners also deeply understood, and were discussing who should be sent out of the city to shoot telegrams. A horse hurried to report it.

"My lord, Lu Jianzhang asks to see you." The horse and presented a famous thorn.

"Lu Jianzhang? What is he doing here? How many troops were brought? "Xu Baoshan is in awe.

"He's alone, with only a pound by his side. Adjutant. ”

Xu Baorang couldn't make up his mind, but he heard Li Bianhe say on the side: "Since he sent it to the door himself." Xu Zhenshou might as well take him down. lest he come up with any tricks. ”

But Yang Ruiwen objected, and he said to Xu Baoshan: "Brother Xu, since Lu Jianzhang dares to come." He must have some arrangements, and even taking him will not hinder the overall situation. In my opinion, let's see what he wants to do. ”

Both of them made sense, Xu Baoshan hesitated, and when he was hesitating, he heard a shout from outside the courtyard.

"Envoy Xu Zhen, just now Zhu Jiabao and Zhu Dudu have sent a telegram to the center, resigned from the post of Governor of Jiangsu, and promoted you as the new Governor of Jiangsu. Lu came here for this matter, this telegram has been photographed, once the center appoints you as the governor of Jiangsu, you can't help but send a telegram of thanks to the center. ”

The person who shouted was Lu Jianzhang, and his words made everyone in the courtyard stunned for a moment.

Hu Mo glanced at Li Jiaohe and saw that the other party was making a look at him, and both of them understood in their hearts. Now the situation in Nanjing has changed again, and Xu Baoshan has become a figure that both the north and the south are trying to win over.

But whether Xu Baoshan changes his stance now, it will not have a fundamental impact on the United Front's strategy.

Because, this southern comparison was originally a game of chess set by Zhao Bei, and he held many useful chess pieces in his hands, and this Xu Baoshan was just one of them.

The key to winning or losing this game is not which chess piece, but who plays the chess.
