Chapter 20: Ask for collection, ask for support, and be motivated

After the Xinhai Revolution, a large number of enthusiastic patriotic Chinese began to explore the national system of government. After Sun Wen stepped down, the provisional parliament elected Yuan Shikai as president, which was of course also temporary.

Now the whole of Beijing, and even the whole of China, are busy with two things. First, what kind of political system and national system should China use. With the League as the main force, the parliamentary system was strongly selected, and the prime minister's powers were established to limit the power of the president. In fact, it is clear that there is only one meaning, limiting Yuan Shikai's power.

Of course, Yuan Shikai disagreed, okay, if you Sun Wen is president, you will be the president, and if I am the president, you will make a prime minister. Everything has to go through the parliament, the prime minister, what is it.

And so the contradiction began. The second thing is the question of who will officially elect the parliament and who will be the president. Sun Wen is also one of the candidates. As a result, winning over the provincial legislators and winning a majority of votes has become a big deal.

At this point, Yuan Shikai suffered. After all, the revolutionary party headed by the League is now the mainstream, and Yuan Shikai is in danger.

At this time, a telegram from Anhui and Nanjing alarmed the capital. The revolutionary party was shocked, and Zhang Xun attacked Anhui? Is this Yuan Shikai going to put pressure on the south?

The most fierce was Song Jiaoren, who immediately rushed to Sun Wen with a telegram. As a result, Sun Wen didn't see it, Sun Wen went to Japan, an hour ago.

Song Jiaoren looked at the young man who told him the news, and he was angry in his heart, for what, for what? An hour ago, how could it be so coincidental that just after the news from the south came, Sun Wen went to Japan to investigate, leaving behind a large number of people who were looking at Sun Wen with blank eyes, but he himself ran away?

Song Jiaoren sighed, and hurriedly rushed to the War Department, Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui took a similar telegram: "Dull Chu, don't scold, you see, I also just know the way." Zhang Xun's actions were definitely not ordered by the War Department. ”

Now that the Nationalist Government has just been established, the War Department has also set up a shelf. Of course, the soldiers and horses of the whole country must be controlled by the War Department, and at this time, Qirui was bothering to implement Yuan Shikai's disarmament plan, leaving only one division in each province in the south, and the intention was unclear, that is, to suppress the south.

At this time, Zhang Xun's actions were indeed not orders from the War Department. Song Jiaoren shouted: "The Republic of China, Zhang Xun has no government, no Ministry of War, no law at all, this person must be sanctioned." Chief Duan, this person must be immediately dismissed and escorted back to the capital for trial. ”

Looking at Song Jiaoren, who was yelling with his teeth and claws, Duan Qirui laughed secretly in his heart. No wonder the old man (Yuan Shikai) said that it was okay for these people in the south to be demagoguery, but they didn't know the times.

What kind of person is Zhang Xun, Debate Shuai, the army under his command doesn't cut his hair, and he still has the braid of the Qing Dynasty. What does it mean? This person has no meaning of the Republic of China in his heart, and even Yuan Shikai can't help it, and the War Department can let people put down nearly 10,000 troops to be tried obediently with a piece of paper?

Don't talk about Zhang Xun, now the Republic of China, but whoever has a gun in his hand, which one is not the king, who is the war department. Duan Qirui: "Dull Chu, this Zhang Xun is also a general who leads more than 10,000 troops, and there is inevitably some misunderstanding." I saw this as such, so I strictly ordered Zhang Xun to return to his division and withdraw from Anhui with the order of the War Department. ”

The two argued constantly, and Song Jiaoren had no choice but to do so. At the same time, he also had to go to see Yuan Shikai with Duan Qirui, and when Yuan Shikai saw it, he smiled in his heart. Okay, good fight, hurry, now I know that my old Yuan is amazing.

At the same time, he was also a little angry in his heart, because Zhang Xun really didn't accept Yuan Shikai's will. Yuan Shikai stretched his hand: "Dull Chu, you know that now the Republic of China is over, although I am the president, everything still has to go through the legal procedures." You studied law at the beginning, and you don't want me to disobey it first as president. ”

In this way, the War Department ordered Zhang Xun to return to the division and gave an explanation for the matter. In my capacity as President, I will issue another proclamation hoping that he will pull back from the precipice. ”

Song Jiaoren thought about it, and yes, the president could not directly give orders to the military, so it could only be so, and what was being legally effected was the orders of the War Department.

After waiting for three days, Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to Zhang Xun, hoping that Zhang Xun would respect the War Department and the law.

As a result, three days later, the news came that Zhang Xun had taken Suzhou, and the army had split into two and was approaching Bengbu, and Song Jiaoren was furious again.

Not to mention how the capital is troublesome, at this time, Guzhen resolutely became the front line. Li Qiguang's command and subordinate staff officers: "Li Shuai, this capital has ordered us not to go south, why are we still fighting." ”

Li Qiguang laughed: "You don't understand this, right, the capital ordered us not to go south?" Who ordered it? War Department? Phew, the debate commander identified the Qing Dynasty, and now only recognizes the president. The telegram sent by the Grand President was a sign of respect for the War Department and did not directly call us back. Do you know the meaning of the road, the president is secretly allowing us to take Anhui, hahaha, you don't understand, you don't understand. ”

Then: "How's the other side?" ”

"Li Shuai, Guzhen is now a division in Anhui, but after many days of fierce fighting, we have been crippled. Now the Nanjing reinforcement army is the Yang Shuai boy, 3,000 people to assist in the defense east of Guzhen, and the soldiers and horses are lined up here on Gaopo. ”

Li Qiguang looked at it and said with a smile: "This Yang Shuai also has two points of vision, if we don't take down the high slope of Niangzi Village and attack Guzhen, it will be equivalent to a knife on top of our heads." Hmph, a division in Guzhen? Joke, it was Suzhou that was defeated and retreated, Suzhou was defeated, the Anhui army was defeated for thousands of miles, and now in Guzhen, he still dares to say that there is a division. In my opinion, Yang Shuai's 3,000 people are now the largest force in Guzhen, as long as Yang Shuai is defeated, Guzhen can be defeated. Okay, give the order to the first battalion, starting tomorrow, to attack Niangzi Village. ”

Now Li Qiguang is rich and generous, originally there were 2,000 people, Zhang Xun gave another 2,000 elites, and they were consumed all the way, not decreasing but increasing, and now there are 5,000 people, and they are about to catch up with Zhang Xun's main force in Mengcheng.

Yang Shuai followed the guard company and went to Liu Rongguang's second regiment in the east. Liu Rongguang was directing the men and horses to dig trenches, and when he saw Yang Shuai coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Division commander, there are at least 5,000 men and horses on the opposite side, if Li Qiguang robs the high slope of Niangzi Village, we are afraid that we will become the focus." Division commander, do you want the Anhui army in Guzhen to help, Niangzi Village can't go down, I'm afraid that Guzhen won't have any decent battles. ”

Liu Rongguang has experienced a hundred battles and can see the importance of Niangzi Village at a glance. The enemy must also be able to see that his 3,000 people have just been integrated, and no one knows what to do with their combat effectiveness, so he proposed to let the Anhui army help.

Yang Shuai was shocked, in the past few days, Yang Shuai found that although this Liu Rongguang is not a general, he is absolutely qualified to be a regiment commander. Yang Shuai: "Commander Liu, look at your platoon of troops, there are two hits, Commander Liu went to a military school?" ”

Liu Rongguang was proud for a while: "Yes, the last general went to Lu Xiao, and then he has been working in the army, and he has been working for ten years." ”

Yang Shuai patted Liu Rongguang's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, Commander Liu is also a veteran general in the army, okay, hahaha, it's just that Commander Liu might as well dig this trench." Yang Shuai immediately pointed at Liu Rongguang's trench, Liu Rongguang thought that Yang Shuai was a Yang frame at first, and then he was suddenly in awe.

I saw that the trenches drawn by Yang Shuai on the ground were criss-crossed, and the air defense, bunkers, and firepower were arranged one by one, all of which Liu Rongguang had never seen, but with Liu Rongguang's career for many years, he knew that Yang Shuai's trench was definitely ten times superior to himself.

Yang Shuai looked at Liu Rongguang with a shocked face, and smiled, Sample, do you think Lao Tzu is just going to do business in Germany and will speculate, Lao Tzu is in the Royal Academy.

"Commander Liu, you only have the men and horses of your regiment here, I don't have reinforcements for you, whether it's a company or a division on the opposite side, you have to fight me back, as soon as your right flank is broken, the regiment will also be finished."

Liu Rongguang straightened up: "Yes, division commander, although I, Liu Rongguang, have never had any great merits, I am definitely not the kind of person who escapes." I personally supervised the battle, and whoever took a step back, I killed him with my own hands. ”

Yang Shuai was overjoyed, saying that this time he led three thousand rabble, which was already helpless, not to mention that there was a Hu Damin who might be holding back. But God favored him, let him meet Liu Rongguang, this person, steady. The important thing is that Yang Shuai knows that Liu Rongguang will never retreat as he said.

Leaving the Second Regiment, Yang Hua was puzzled: "I don't understand, don't we have an independent battalion, why do you say that to Commander Liu?" ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "The independent battalion is a trump card, stay on the blade." ”

The first regiment is close to Guzhen, because the first regiment now has no regimental headquarters, and it is divided into two battalions, Huang Yiou and Hu Damin. At this time, Hu Daying's camp was located, behind him: "Battalion commander, battalion commander, division commander has gone to the second battalion, and he will definitely come to our battalion." ”

Hu Damin snorted: "Come on, I can still eat you, what a panic." ”

Second battalion, Yang Shuai and Huang Yiou. Yang Shuai: "Yiou, I put an independent battalion behind you, as well as an artillery company, you can fight at ease, you don't care about the things next to you." ”

Huang Yiou was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on next to him. Huang Yiou is different from his Lao Tzu, Huang Xing is extremely sincere to the revolution and believes in the so-called revolutionary comrades.

But Huang Yiou has a little more heart, which may have something to do with his youth. At this time, when he heard that Yang Shuai had made arrangements, a piece of his heart fell. If you point to a thousand or so in front, you can see the enemy troops, and they are also busy.

"Zhaoyun, you see, over there, the enemy must have artillery, you see there is their artillery position, there are two companies in front of it, and there are heavy soldiers on the left and right, Li Qiguang has never heard of it, but there are also clear eyes for leading troops, Beiyang is terrible."

Yang Shuai nodded, nothing. Beiyang must be terrible, you must know that the most systematic group in the whole of China at that time was the Beiyang, and the Qing people began to practice in the past, can it be compared with the south.

There are also a lot of high-ranking people in the south, many military talents who have returned from studying abroad, such as Japanese non-commissioned officers who graduated, and Yang Shuai, for example, now. However, the concept accepted by the soldiers is a big difference, and even Sun Wu can't surpass others in a short period of time.

Yang Shuai: "Our reinforcement of the Anhui army, to say that it is a division, in fact, you also know the situation, we are mainly defense, and the main task is to run in the troops, as long as Niangzi Village, as long as the town is not lost, it will be fine." Now I can only hope that the Anhui army will be a little stronger, defeat Zhang Xun from Buyang, and then cut off the enemy's retreat here and occupy Suzhou. ”

When Yang Shuai said this, let alone himself, even Huang Yiou didn't believe it. Since Xinhai, the southern army has fought with Beiyang not once or twice. There is a time to win, which time is not a draw made with human life, at most it is undefeated.

"Oh no, the enemy is attacking." With a shout, Yang Shuai was startled, and more excited. Coming, coming, although Yang Shuai is trying to stay calm these days, no one can imagine the excitement in his heart. I didn't expect that I, who was illiterate in my previous life, would now command 3,000 people to fight and become a general.

Fight, come on, Lao Tzu's life, was tried by Zhang Qun.
