Chapter 550: Multi-Provincial War
In Qiangbai County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Jian's subordinates, the man nicknamed the sixth child in the whole life, slapped the table dejectedly, "Nest!" It's all about it! When did you suffer such a loss, more than 100 people, you can't take down Nanzhuangzi, what is this! Just a little cavalry, I don't believe I can't eat it! Tens of thousands of our brothers, just watching him jump under our noses, what kind of face is this? ”
Another general, Li Gouwa, said: "Sixth, what are you doing, slapping the table and smashing the bench in front of the eldest brother, do you still want a rule?" Isn't it just a girl? I went to the street to look for it, but I didn't believe that I couldn't find it. The past few days have passed, and the girl has already changed into a daughter-in-law, and it is not fresh for you to snatch it back. It's not that I don't want to fight now, it's that I can't fight, the big boss has a clever plan, and if he wants to fight, he will fight the big one. ”
"What? What's so big and there's an Overseer? Beat him up, Lu Jun will be finished, what are you waiting for? ”
"Sixth brother, what are you making trouble? Listening to your noise early in the morning, I don't even sleep for a while, and people who don't have a daughter-in-law have strong firepower! As he spoke, Guo Jian had already walked in from outside, looked at the two generals, and casually motioned for the two to sit down.
"Are you in a hurry, when I am not in a hurry? He Zhao Guanhou used a desperate plan, a big move from village to village, and there is not a single village left around us in Qiangbai, who will we find to eat and wear when the time comes? It's useless to guard a county seat. But if we rush out casually, didn't we fall for his plan and suffer his loss? Two days ago, the brothers lost too much, which frustrated their spirits, and for the time being, it was better not to fight. ”
A few days ago, Guo Jun's army took Dali directly, thinking that it would be broken with one drum just like attacking Qiangbai, but he didn't want to hit his head on the iron plate. In the past, the common people hated the officers and soldiers, and they had more good feelings than bad feelings towards Guo Min, or they either stood by and watched, or helped Guo attack the official mansion, which was relatively easy to attack the city.
But this time, the people of Dali supported the Lu army, resolutely defended the city, and at the same time asked the Lu army for help. The cavalry brigade and the second mixed brigade of the Lu army threatened the rear of Guo's army, Guo Jian could not conquer the city, suffered great losses, and was afraid of being outflanked by the officers and troops on both fronts, so he could only return in vain.
Although the Fourth Army had a large number of troops, the number of guns was small, and most of them were still cold weapons. It is really against Shangjian City, and it lacks the means to break the city.
This siege was not opened, which had a great impact on morale. The second is that Bai Lang attacked Weinan, and the governor of Weinan County took the initiative to open the city and surrender. After entering the city, he found that the county seat was as small as a fight, and he could not raise large soldiers, and the county treasury was empty, and he had nothing to gain. Bai Lang took out two thousand taels of silver to help the people of the county, and this time it was in vain.
Its original intention was to take Chang'an directly, but although Yan Wenxiang was incompetent, there was still a brigade of troops to defend the city. These troops were afraid of the death and wounded of the attack, and they were unwilling to capture Chang'an, and they did not understand Bai Lang's behavior of scattering wealth and giving money, and the trip to Chang'an failed, and the troops turned back to Qiangbai.
The idea of going south to Sichuan was also blocked by Guo Jian, who believed that the weather was getting colder and the troops lacked winter clothes, and that a rash march at this time would lead to a large number of non-combat attrition. At least we should wait until the beginning of spring next year, when the weather warms up, and then the troops should consider leaving the base area and opening up another battlefield.
Tens of thousands of horses sat in the city of sorrow, and the grain and grass were consumed very much, and the sixth child of the whole life hated Liu Peixuan being taken away, and said angrily: "Big brother, what are you waiting for, fight with him!" Gather the team and level Nanzhuangzi, I don't believe it, there are more than 20 cavalry in total, and we can't take it! ”
"Rice bucket! Is it possible for the overseer to bring more than 20 people? Don't ask, there must be thousands of troops behind us, let's go, we are in the trap of others, not to send people to the muzzle? Don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you two pieces of good news. ”
It was supposed to be top-secret information, but now in order to stabilize the morale of the military, it can only be said. Guo Jian looked around, lowered his voice and said:
"The old Gan army is ready to raise troops and respond to us. Ma Zengshou led 20,000 cavalry from Gansu to aid Shaanxi. With 20,000 men, our strength is enough to devour him alive. When the spring of next year begins, a few people will work together, and the Lu army will not be able to run at all, what are you afraid of! ”
Several groups of people and horses together, the total number of more than 100,000, plus 20,000 extremely effective cavalry of the Gan army, to eliminate 20,000 Dolu troops, should be more than enough. Li Gouwa said: "That's good! I heard that Zhao Guanhou brought several mothers-in-law and aunts, all of them are as beautiful as fairies, and there are foreigners in them, so I will divide one at that time. ”
"I want Pei Xuan, no one else!"
"It's okay to divide it into two, but that's the beginning of spring, and now we have to think about how to spend this year." Guo Jian sighed and patted his body, "To be a man is to speak of conscience, we are wearing sheepskin jackets, and the brothers are wearing a bell, are you embarrassed?" ”
"What do you mean, big brother?"
"The Lu army entered Shaanxi, lacking food and clothing! His money, food, and materials have to be transported by rail, I mean, let's hit his train! As long as you find him transportation time and take his baggage away, the year will be better. Besides, with this batch of baggage, the leaders of all walks of life will have the courage to eat the Lu army with us. Otherwise, you wait for me, I wait for you, and in the end it will be useless. ”
The sixth child frowned, "How do you do the intelligence?" Military vehicles, this is top secret, where are we going to get it? ”
Guo Jian sneered, "We can't do it, someone can!" The tiger surnamed Zhao jumped into a mountain stream and injured people too badly. There are people who want to clean him up, you wait, it's just a matter of the next few days, someone will send the information. As for whether we can eat it, it depends on our ability. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles ****. Tell the brethren to sharpen your swords, sharpen your guns, and get ready for a good fight! ”
The capital, in the hall of residence.
Yuan Weiting's attention was once focused on the congressional elections rather than the military, but now, his attention had to be pulled back and returned to the Shaanxi war situation. As he expected, Zhao Guanhou's troops fought and beat the white wolf to a great extent.
However, the difficulty of public order warfare never lies in winning or losing on the battlefield, but in the length of time, and the longer it drags on, the greater the expenditure. As far as the current finances are concerned, every extra day of fighting will increase the financial burden by one point, and Liang Shiyi's difficulties will increase by a few points.
However, judging from the intelligence, the idea of a quick solution cannot be realized at all. First of all, the old Gan army in Gansu has shown an unstable trend. Those who stirred up the northwestern turmoil of Dajin and spent tens of millions of dollars on their strength, and there was a tendency to rebel.
Secondly, even the forces of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, which Yuan Weiting was deeply afraid of, did not live very peacefully. It is reported that the Sichuan Elders' Association reached some kind of secret agreement with Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and used the passage of Sichuan to form reinforcements to support Bai Lang. The intention is to gather and annihilate the Lu army, which is the most effective in the north of Beiyang, in the land of Guanzhong.
Yuan Weiting's Beiyang Mansion established the country by force, and once the Lu army was destroyed, it would have no troops available in the north. If the troops in the southern provinces can only be withdrawn, then the confrontation between the north and the south will be successful, and perhaps the northern expedition will be possible again. Emperor Sun was remotely controlled overseas, and successively ordered to prepare for a large-scale military operation to say goodbye to Yuan Weiting.
Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and the Lu army fought against each other, and it turned out to be a situation in which the five provinces fought against Shaanxi. If Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui are all included, it is the ten provinces that fought Shaanxi. The scene is comparable to Song Dun's death in junior high school, and Emperor Sun is like a force to ask Yuan.
The bills of the Lu legislators in the National Assembly every day are to ask the government to support the Lu army, otherwise the lone army of one province will have no power to resist the coalition of several provinces. The Lu army could only protect the territory and the people, and return to the division for self-defense.
However, the attitude of the southern legislators is quite ambiguous, strongly advocating that the solution should be resolved through peaceful negotiations, putting public opinion and people's livelihood first, and citing the excessive expenditure of the current government, the existence of a serious fiscal deficit, and the danger of collapse at any time. The people are exhausted and should rest and recuperate, and resolutely oppose war.
The great powers sat on the sidelines and did not express their opinions, but their attitudes were still very clear. If Yuan Zhengfu has the strength to resolve this crisis, they may increase their support for Yuan Zhengfu, otherwise, they may also abandon Yuan Weiting like Dajin.
"It is indeed hard for Guanhou to fight against the thieves in five provinces with the strength of one province. The northwest road is impassable, and how to help is also a big problem. ”
Yuan Weiting frowned, "Cao Zhongkun from Hunan should make a move and ask him to send troops into Shaanxi to make a response to Guanhou." ”
Duan Zhiquan dropped his yarn hat some time ago, and now he was called back to the War Department by Yuan Weiting to preside over the work. On the public, Duan Yuan is a subordinate of the boss, on private, Duan Zhiquan is the daughter of Yuan Weiting, and the two can be regarded as half a son-in-law. The stakes of this battle are very high, and Yuan Weiting can only be used to discuss military aircraft, and only this important minister of Beiyang.
Regarding Yuan Weiting's arrangement, Duan Zhiquan obviously did not agree.
"Yuezhou is the north and south confucius, the geographical location is important and extraordinary, the strength of the Geming party in the south is still there, the third division is known as the iron army, they are sitting in Hunan, and the southeastern provinces are all under my control. If our Third Division is transferred and the Geming Communists take the opportunity to capture Yuezhou, it will have a great impact on our layout in the entire southeast. Moreover, our current problem is not in Guanzhong, but in Rouran. ”
He pointed to the map, "Zhao Guanhou has always been able to fight, even if he doesn't win, he can be undefeated." In addition, the crown marquis lacked sufficient military literacy, was not good at commanding the army, and gave him too many troops, but he did not know how to mobilize. The president looks at the inside and outside, and he can't take it lightly here. Since the abdication of the Jin family, there has been a trend of instability both inside and outside, and the Tiele forces have taken the opportunity to enter the grassland and incite the princes and nobles to rebel. It is very likely that the weapons seized in Qinhuangdao last time were delivered to the prince of Rouran to help him act. At present, our financial resources and military strength are limited, if we use all our strength in Shaanxi, then Rouran will not be able to take care of it, once those princes rebel, this land may no longer be our territory. ”
Yuan Weiting looked at Duan Zhiquan, "Zhiquan, your suggestion is the idea of the little fan under you, right?" ”
"President, this is a lowly ......"
"Needless to say. What the little fan said, I have also heard it here. Not long ago, he didn't openly say in Bada Hutong that even if Guanzhong fell into the hands of the Salvation Monarch, it would still be the land of China. However, if Neiwai Rouran rebels, it may be incorporated into the territory of other countries. He will not be a sinner who is not a Chinese sinner, and he will not do anything that is sorry for his ancestors. If it weren't for your face, I would have arrested him a long time ago! ”
"That's not the case, President Rongyu, now we really don't have enough strength, we can only take care of one point, we can't do everything. As long as you take the internal and external Rouran, Chen Bing Shaanxi Province, and take advantage of this military situation, he is not afraid that the Guanzhong group will not bow his head and surrender. Moreover, the land that was not lost in the pre-golden era, if it is lost in the republican era, we will become the sinners of history! ”
Yuan Weiting snorted, "Childish! It cannot be miscalculated to focus on Rouran and safeguard the country's territory as the highest interest, but at the moment, it is not appropriate. If I want to make a choice, then I would rather lose the internal and external softness, and I must keep Shaanxi. Once Shaanxi falls into the hands of the Ge Ming party, the entire southwest will be united, and Sun Dixiang will come back to fight with us. Even if the internal and external softness are lost, it is better than the formation of a self-made situation in the southwest. ”
"Don't mention any country and nation to me, that's the slogan shouted by the students, as the commander of the three armed forces, you should see farther than them. The financial resources are insufficient, so the money must be used wisely. When our public bonds were first issued, they were sold at a 90% discount and at a 7% discount when they were actually issued. Since the victory of Guanhou Shaanxi, the current public debt has risen to 80%. If we can win the battle of Shaanxi, then I think the public bonds will not be 9% off, but can be sold in full. It can be seen from this that this is not a simple law and order operation, but has a bearing on the future of our entire organization, and cannot be taken lightly. Besides, the victory of the Shaanxi War can also be used to deter those princes, why should they focus on the outside and the inside? ”
Duan Zhiquan knew that taking Shaanxi to deter Rouran was the same as taking Rouran to deter Shaanxi, and it was a word of mouth that could not be reached. But attacking the shield with a spear, you can't refute it.
There was a slight sweat on his forehead, and he secretly admired that Xu Youzheng was indeed capable, and what he wanted to say was almost the same as that of the president. Including the mentality of the big president, Xiao Xu also saw through it. Zhao Guanhou is a close confidant and relative of the president, and Lu Jun is a descendant of the president, so he naturally wants to protect it at any cost.
Moreover, the general election is imminent, and if you can't support Lu Jun, you will inevitably lose the support of Lu legislators. In contrast, the representatives of Rouran inside and outside, whether in terms of number or influence, cannot be compared with the Lu family.
Moreover, Shaanxi's victory or defeat is related to the future of the president, and if it cannot win, there may be other twists and turns in the election. It seems that in the president's heart, this chair is still more important than the unity of the country.
He originally didn't believe in Xu Youzheng's thoughts, and decided that Yuan Weiting could divide the importance of going abroad and private affairs, but now it seems that he actually recognized the wrong person, and he couldn't help but be disheartened for a while. simply kept silent, and after waiting for Yuan Weiting's order, he only stood up and saluted, "Humble duty, obey the president's orders." ”
"It's not just about obeying orders, it's about keeping it secret. Once the military information leaks, the situation of the crown marquis will be very dangerous, and this matter is very urgent, and it is necessary to hurry up. Concentrate all the troops and financial resources, support the crown marquis, and be sure to win the battle of Shaanxi for me! (To be continued.) )
