Chapter 447: Before Unification!!

The Northeast changes flags!

And before that, the Shandong problem has also been solved!

The occurrence of the Lincheng robbery made Tanaka Yu fall into a desperate passivity. The unfavorable handling of this incident caused the foreign legations to be seriously dissatisfied with it, and they accused it of being incompetent, inefficient, and cowering. They also expressed their accusations at the seriousness of the bandits in Shandong, demanding that Tanaka Yu must bear full responsibility for this incident.

On the contrary, the swift response made by Wang Hengyue and the Nationalist Government in the hostage robbery and the resolute and resolute solution once again impressed the world.

In the newspapers, Powell vigorously praised the US Civil Administration and the fact that it was able to resolve this crisis in such a short period of time and by such swift means, showing the demeanor of a mature government

And the people in China also praised the national government. On the hostage crisis, the Nationalist Government has adopted an indiscriminatory approach to both Chinese and foreign hostages.

With all this hostage crisis, the National Government once again tilted public opinion to its side!

At this time, Tian Zhongyu, the overseer of Shandong, who was constantly criticized, must also face an extremely serious problem:

Two brigades of the Northern Expeditionary Army have entered Shandong!

There is no room for salvation, even if Tanaka Yu is loyal to the Beiyang government, in the current situation, he must think more about himself.

In 1919, on October 16, the 8th year of the Republic of China, that is, a few days before the Northeast changed banners, the Shandong overseer Tian Zhongyu announced that he would go to the field!

The Shandong problem has been finally solved!

Subsequently, after Zhang Zuolin, the Fengtian overseer and the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, announced the change of banners in the northeast, the last roadblock on the road to unification of China was also removed!

The strong strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the threat of more than 1,000 cannons also made the people of Hebei panic.

In Beijing, the intelligence system led by Dai Li also began to operate in all directions.

A staunch supporter of Beiyang, a staunch opponent of the Nationalist Government, and Su Xuanjin, vice minister of agriculture and commerce of the Beiyang Government, was thrown into the home of a bomb at night, but fortunately the explosion was in the courtyard and no casualties were caused.

Su Xuanji's life and safety were greatly threatened.

The house is crying and crying, making trouble, and there is no quiet for a moment. Su Xuanjin did not want to violate his "beliefs", nor did he want the lives of his family to be threatened. Under such a dilemma, Su Xuanjin submitted his resignation the next day and returned to Nanjing with his family.

One of the largest and most staunch oppositionists also left.

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and Cao Kun also deeply felt the huge threat. Although he still has troops in his hands, he can no longer compete with the Beiyang Army.

On the 17th, the 28th Mixed Brigade of the Frontier Army stationed in Hebei announced the uprising on the battlefield after secretly making contact with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Pandora's box has been opened!

On the 19th, the 29th Mixed Brigade of the Frontier Army, which had no intention of responding to the battle, and the 3rd Division of the Frontier Army, successively announced their uprising. Beiyang's forces in Hebei were sharply reduced.

Hebei chaos, Beijing chaos, Beiyang chaos!

Now there is only one Hebei and Beijing left in the hands of the entire Beiyang, especially Zhang Zuolin's sudden change of banner, which has directly threatened Beijing.

The war has been going on until now, and there is no room for salvation in Beiyang.

Although Japan was still counting on Japan to intervene, with the change of banners in the Northeast, all the attention of the Japanese was put there, and they no longer had time to worry about Beiyang.

What's more, before that, the United States, Britain and France behind Wang Hengyue were enough for Japan to surrender.

"Quan Gong, I'm afraid it won't work." In the presidential palace in Beijing, Cao Kun looked disheartened: "Zhang Zuolin and Tanaka Yu have surrendered one after another, and now we are in the front, we can no longer resist the offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and defeat is only a matter of time!" ”

Duan Qirui's heart was more aware of the current bad situation than he was, he was silent there, and glanced at Xu Shuzheng.

Although Xu Shuzheng is resourceful and an indispensable thinker for Duan Qirui, there is obviously no better way to face such a situation:...,

"Anhui and direct fighting, direct and Anhui fighting, fighting back and forth, but fighting such a situation, let outsiders choose a big bargain in vain"

The "outsider" in his mouth is naturally Wang Hengyue!

Xu Shuzheng sighed: "There is no way now, there is no other way but to surrender." Even peace talks would be rejected by Wang Hengyue. ”

Duan Qirui was a little unwilling: "Again, isn't there any other way?" ”

"Quan Gong." Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "I have thought of all the ways I can think of, the ministers of the United States, Britain and France have sent a joint note, asking us to immediately accept all the conditions put forward by the National Government, give up armed resistance, and restore peace in China." The day before yesterday, I wanted to go to the Japanese minister and discuss with him what to do, but he did not see him. We are now the wall falling down and everyone is pushing us, and everyone sees us as if they see a plague god, avoiding us! ”

Duan Qirui's face sank, and Shaoqing also let out a long sigh.

When did Beiyang fall into the situation it is today? Just a few years ago, Beiyang was still strong, and even had the possibility of unifying the whole country.

Is it caused by civil strife? Is it the contradiction between the Anhui and the direct line that gives the south an opportunity to take advantage of? Perhaps, but not all.

Is Wang Hengyue's forces too strong for Beiyang to resist? There are such reasons in it, but not all!

As a soldier, Duan Qirui was unwilling to lay down his arms and surrender, but the current situation did not allow him to have more choices.

"Quangong, save the lives of the soldiers and protect Beijing from being harassed by the flames of war. In this way, we have finally done some good deeds, so that our future generations can scold us less. Xu Shuzheng sighed and said.

Duan Qirui and Cao Kun were stunned for a moment, and then heard Xu Shuzheng continue:

"Our reputation is already bad, and now there are people all over the country who are scolding us. There are only two ways in front of us, one is to continue to resist to the end, and as a result, the jade will be burned; One is to choose a decent Shimono. The former path is nothing more than the annihilation of all our armies, and we either commit suicide or become prisoners. The latter path can also save the lives of most of our soldiers, after all, they have followed us for so many years. ”

Duan Qirui's expression was gloomy: "Zhong Shan, you are the president, you make a decision." ”

Cao Kun smiled bitterly: "The direct Anhui family is fighting and fighting, but the result is that the fight has reached today's situation." Forget it, forget it, and Zheng, draft the conditions for going into the field."

On October 21, 1919, the day after the change of banners in Northeast China, Wang Hengyue, president of the Beijing Political Bureau, sent a secret telegram to Wang Hengyue, the president of the National Government Government, and put forward the following conditions:

"First, ensure that the safety of the lives and property of all officials in the Beijing government will not be violated, and allow them to choose where they want to settle down; 2. To ensure the safety of the officers and men of the surrendered Beiyang Army; Three"

"Yes, all yes!" After seeing this secret message, Wang Hengyue laughed loudly: "I didn't want to harm them in the first place, they are not bad people in the essential sense. They have done bad things, and they have done a lot of good things for this country. Not only will their lives and property not be infringed upon, but after they are gone, I will invite them back to take up official positions in my government and continue to exert their power! ”

"Jiang Zhongzheng did a beautiful job this time." Jiang Baili said: "He went to the northeast to make the northeast issue be resolved peacefully, if it were not for the change of banner in the northeast, maybe Beijing would not have chosen to surrender so quickly." I think Jiang Zhongzheng is a very talented person, and I can consider reusing it, such as letting him be in charge. ”

Wang Hengyue smiled: "Chief of Staff, this person can indeed be used, but he can't give him too many rights, he is like a double-edged sword, if he uses it well, he is handy, and if he doesn't use it well, he is afraid that he will hurt himself and cut himself into blood." ”

Jiang Baili didn't quite understand the meaning of the president's words!

Wang Hengyue didn't explain too much: "Call back to Beijing, and we accept all their requests." At the same time, add these words to the telegram. The first merit of recovering Mongolia and the second merit of protecting overseas Chinese by force. The Paris peace talks are unfavorable and sinful. However, the country is weak and its interests cannot be protected, and the responsibility should not be borne by all the monarchs. You don't have to worry, the construction of the country and the growth of the people are not an overnight effort, and they need to be operated for a long time. You are in the prime of life, why should you retire? The government is big, there is a place for the monarchs, and the country is big, and there is also a place for the monarchs. When the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Beijing, it did not settle accounts after the autumn, and second, it did not harm the localities. Wang Hengyue tried his best to invite you to come to Nanjing to discuss the future of the country. ”

After giving the order word by word, and carefully checking it, it was only then that the telegram was sent to the people.

He thought for a while: "Chief of Staff, the Beijing issue is about to be resolved, Shandong is already in our hands, Shandong has two of our brigades in Shandong, and I think it would be better to transfer two or four more divisions into Shandong." ”

Jiang Baili immediately understood what Wang Hengyue meant. Heng Shuai is going to deal with the Japanese army in Shandong.

It is not yet time for the war, but as long as the time is ripe, Heng Shuai will not hesitate to solve the Shandong, Japan, and of course, Northeast issues.

Heng Shuai usually looks a little unprofessional, but everything has been quietly arranged, and he always does the right thing at the right time and place.

You can't find such a person hidden in the sea of people, but once he roars, it is enough to shake the whole world.

The country is about to be reunified, and the people are about to be reunified. A unified country is enough for Wang Hengyue to show his strength.

Wang Hengyue is ready, China is ready, and the Chinese people are ready!
