Chapter 247: The Northern Expedition of the Seventh Army

The Northern Expedition at this stage is actually a military speculation, taking advantage of the irreconcilable contradictions within Beiyang and the military conflict to directly seize territory.

Sun Wen was bent on increasing his influence through the Northern Expedition and increasing the diffusion of core party members. What is diffusion force, diffusion force is to disperse a group of loyal party members concentrated in Guangzhou, so as to control a wider area, this is Sun Wen's idea.

But Sun Wen always forgot one thing, that is, the so-called Northern Expedition at this stage, in order to form a military force, it is necessary to rely on the powerful factions in the southern provinces, and these powerful factions are afraid that they will not be so obedient. These powerful factions, like Sun Wen, also want to expand their influence and power through war, that's all.

Yang Shuai is different, Yang Shuai has already come up with the idea of getting closer to Sun Wen, so he decided to vigorously support Sun Wen's actions, but there was a different reaction in this. When Yang Shuai's decision was announced, pro-Yang Shuai people led by Nanning immediately misread Yang Shuai's motives, especially with the Political Science Society as the head. It is precisely because of this misunderstanding that a solid foundation has been laid, so that Yang Shuai completely changed his original intention in the future.

Li Gengen: "Commander, this is a clever plan to transfer the contradictions, if you want to say that the commander is planning for the world, even if we want to break our heads, we can't catch up." ”

Zhang Yaozeng: "In this case, what else to say, the commander has created such good conditions for us, if we can't do the following things well, then I'm really sorry for the commander." The Northern Expedition will inevitably attract the attention of the world, and all attention will be paid to the showdown between the north and the south. And this gap is when we strengthen the local construction of the three provinces and eliminate some restless factors. ”

Li Gengen nodded: "By the way, now Zhang Lingfu and their young soldiers' club, do you know?" ”

Zhang Yaozeng shook his head: "Don't talk about this matter in the future, let's not meddle in the affairs of the army, I repeat, the affairs of the army, whoever touches it will be finished." In fact, it is also very good, the establishment of the Young Soldiers' Club, calling on soldiers not to engage in politics, can be regarded as the embodiment of the policy of the commander's military and political branch, don't talk about this matter in the future. ”

Nanning, Yangfu, Lu Yun: "It's hard to stay at home for half a month, and then you have to leave?" ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Come on, I think you want me to leave quickly, and then you can go and get your medical team." You're good, you're married, how many of your medical team girls are married? You can't delay people. ”

Lu Yun was suddenly unhappy: "When did I delay others?" Let me tell you, we girls can't find them with lanterns, and we can't rush to ask for them when we let them out. I'll go back and have a family conference, I see you still talk about me. ”

Yang Zi happened to come over at the door here, and smiled: "Hehe, brother, sister-in-law, I see that you are busy every day, and I don't feel sorry for you, I want to share it for you, I don't know how to be interesting." ”

Lu Yun: "Yang Zi, don't say it." ”

Yang Shuai hugged Lu Yun, and his mouth pouted, making Lu Yun's face red and red.

Yang Zi chuckled: "Oops, oops, if this is for my mother to see, I can't scold to death, oops, oops." ”

Yang Shuai turned his head and smiled, and then: "How is Yiou now?" Lu Yun hurried: "Yes, yes, what marriage?" ”

Yang Zi: "I hate you, brother, it's not that you don't know about Yiou, recently Yiou worked in the Food Bureau, because of the work matter, he finally came out of Mr. Huang Keqiang's matter, and now what kind of marriage is it, it's true." ”

Yang Shuai nodded: "That's right, call over tonight, I'll come back for dinner, let's have a meal together." ”

The next day, as soon as Yang Shuai arrived at the headquarters, he saw a rough face, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Chief of Staff, are you back?" This person is Lin Hu, I saw Lin Hu laughing: "I haven't come back yet, I still want to be a staff officer, hehe." ”

At this time, the army of the three provinces was almost broken up and reorganized by Yang Shuai, although there was no combat effectiveness for a long time in the future, but Yang Shuai knew that if he wanted to completely control the three provinces, the army must not relax. The original Dinggui army of more than 40,000 people has now been dispersed, and only Lu Guoquan and Wang Jinsong are left, which can barely be regarded as having a complete establishment, but Wang Jinsong also has no troops, and as early as the Yulin War, his first division has only one shelf.

Yang Shuai: "Okay, you came back just in time, I was just about to discuss with you, Chief of Staff, I want you to take charge of the army again." ”

Lin Hu was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a moment: "Is it a matter of the Joint Defense Force?" ”

Yang Shuai nodded and said: "Yes, the Northern Expedition, I must promote it, when the time comes, I will personally go to war, then the joint defense army can't be left unwatched, I want you to catch this big seal." Originally, you were an old general and a revolutionary hero, and I believe that I am more relieved to have you. ”

Lin Hu: "What about the old man?"

Yang Shuai shook his head: "It's better for him to be in Guizhou, and after three or two years, he can retire." ”

Lin Hu frowned, knowing that Yang Shuai was still not worried about Lu Rongting after all, not why, just because this person had too much influence. Sun Wen wanted to reorganize the government, and the first wave of people were not sent to see Yang Shuai, but to Guizhou to meet Lu Rongting.

Lin Hu: "That's good, but I'll say ugly things ahead, if there is really an unexpected situation, I can only guarantee the key cities of the three provinces at most, and other places, if you lose it, you can't blame me." ”

Yang Shuai laughed, the two of them seemed to be friends for the year, in fact, the two of them were too.

"That's no problem, you'll have to go and come back anyway, hahahaha."

It's different, Yang Yongtai came in: "Commander, Bai Wenwei has arrived in Guangzhou." ”

Yang Shuai and Lin Hu were both surprised, Yang Shuai: "He? Then he didn't seem so surprised: "It seems that Mr. Sun is a fierce general." ”

Lin Hu also nodded and said: "Yes, speaking of which, Bai Wenwei and Mr. Sun are very legendary, when Bai Wenwei met Mr. Sun for the first time, there was such a conversation:

Wen Wei thought to herself, since he followed Mr. so far, he would never think of disobedience to Mr. What is the definition of obedience? There is a kind of person who meets the gentleman, sneers on his shoulders, and is absolutely obedient; As for leaving with Mr., everything he said and did did not violate Mr. 's proposition. There is another kind of person who has not seen his husband for several years, or is tens of thousands of miles away from him, or thousands of miles, and his words and deeds are in no way contrary to him; If you meet with your husband and study important issues, you will never dare to ignore your conscience, take obedience as righteousness, and treat your husband in the way of a concubine. Mr. Sun was shocked as a confidant, and since then he has been very respectful to Bai Wenwei, and this time he invited him, I am afraid that he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. ”

Yang Shuai couldn't help but nodded: "Bai Wenwei is from Anhui, and one of the big enemies he dealt with in this Northern Expedition is the Anhui system, it seems that Mr. Sun is very far-sighted and considerate." ”

Yang Yongtai: "Hunan Tan Yanhong, Zhao Hengxi, Tang Shengzhi, and Cheng Qian also jointly expressed their support for Guangzhou this morning, and it seems that the Guangzhou government and the Northern Expedition have slowly taken shape. ”

Yang Shuai frowned: "Tan Yanmin is an old slippery head, and he actually expressed his position so quickly, which surprised me." ”

Yang Yongtai smiled: "I heard that Wu Peifu is going south to Hunan. ”

When Yang Shuai and Lin Hu heard this, they immediately understood: "No wonder, no wonder, I said, Tan Yanmin is so positive, it turns out that this is the case." Then Yang Shuai turned his head again: "Okay, it seems that we are also going to start the Northern Expedition." The establishment of less than half of the people in the three provinces will be disbanded, and the remaining personnel will all be transferred to Guilin. ”

When Lin Hu heard this, he counted in his chest, and immediately said: "There are less than 10,000, and the most are from Yunnan." ”

Yang Shuai: "I am so keen on dismantling and reorganizing, just to eliminate the regional nature of the armed forces, so that everyone will no longer say that I am a Guangxi soldier, I am a Guizhou soldier, such a phenomenon." It's the same with this Northern Expedition, I want to build an army with no restrictions on nationality. The herald gave Li Zongren. Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Zhizhong immediately went to Guilin to convene this work. ”

Lin Hu nodded: "Then commander, it is said that an army will be formed, what about the scale, whether it is big or small, and how to match the troops?" ”

"Put Zhang Dabiao's independent brigade into it, let's temporarily set 30,000 people, and distribute infantry, artillery, and cavalry in the ratio of 811."

Lin Hu was shocked: "Three thousand cavalry? ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Don't be so narrow-minded chief of staff, cavalry does not necessarily have to ride a horse, and cavalry in a broader sense should be a class of troops with strong mobility, think about it, now we are here, what conditions can we have to be powerful?" ”

Lin Hu frowned, and then was surprised: "The commander is talking about bicycles?" Is this, this okay? ”

Yang Shuai: "Try it, how do you know if it works if you don't try." ”

After the Xinhai Revolution, China fell into a deformed state, colonies, feudal society, ** attempts, warlord secession, anarchic territory, these things were mixed together to form the current China. Therefore, it is not strange that something strange is happening in this country.

It is not surprising that the Guangzhou government wants to ban the Beiyang government in the capital, and the members of Congress have gone south.

It is not surprising that Sun Wen wants to go on a northern expedition, but Yang Shuai, a big warlord who shows that he controls at least three provinces, is Sun Wen's strongest supporter at this stage.

Yang Shuai himself did not appear in Guangzhou, but he was elected to the official post of "Southwest Inspector", and the next day he announced the establishment of a provisional Congress, and also announced the establishment of a total of seven armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Yang Shuai was the commander of the Fourth Army, which is also not surprising.

At this moment, Yang Taixing rushed in: "Young master, our ship is about to be ready." ”

Yang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and Yang Tai shouted excitedly: "Freighter, our big freighter, hehe, the first batch of sixteen huge freighters is about to arrive, hahaha." ”

Yang Shuai was also surprised, a 10,000-ton large freighter, which is almost a big ship that China has never had, and now, finally. Yang Shuai: "Okay, good, good, almost all the planned things are in charge of you and Ma Yang, good, well done, very good, we have a big ship, and there will be warships in the future, good, good." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Shuai, it was heartbreaking, what a dream this young man had for the motherland. At this time, he almost cried.

Yang Tai also stepped forward and gently grabbed Yang Shuai: "Young master, we will have it." ”

The dream of new China, after all, is still realized by young people, and it must be.
