Chapter 534: The Wind Blows

When Zhao Guanhou arrived at Jurentang, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and he was very respectful to Yuan Weiting, and he couldn't see that he had made a big fuss about the War Department. www.biquge.info But Yuan Weiting already knew that Zhao Guanhou had flipped the table at the War Department, and if he continued to quarrel, he might have to beat someone.

He looked at Zhao Guanhou for a while, said nonsense, and then asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Back to the president's words, I ate. I set up a double table in Fengyun's class, and after eating a few glasses of wine, Lao Lei came to me. ”

"That little Ah Feng, what do you think?"

"I can't talk about it." Zhao Guanhou thinks about Xiao Afeng's appearance, it is indeed as Wang Geng said, temperament is higher than appearance, although he is in the north, he is still a eunuch and a beautiful daughter. Even when socializing, it is not smiling, as if the chastity archway is engraved on the forehead. When he was holding his hand, there was still a faint look of resistance and disgust.

But the more so, the more it arouses the interest of men in places like that, and the taste of forcibly pressing an eldest lady on a wooden bed is of course different from pressing a foldable idle flower on the bed. Whether it's true or not, it relies on this one feature, coupled with quite clever means of socializing, and it has really been popular for several years.

Zhao Guanhou has his own beautiful concubine in his family, if he talks about his background, he even has Gege, not to mention this kind of beautiful temperament, it is because he is in Fengyun's class, relying on his identity as a military supervisor, to cook a crane and burn the qin, it is indispensable. Regardless of whether she wants to or not, she can't refuse to stay overnight. But when it comes to getting married, there's not much interest.

Yuan Weiting saw that he was not interested, so he stopped mentioning it. He didn't say anything about the trouble at the War Department during the day, only talked to him about military affairs.

"Xu Youzheng's plan, you are not satisfied, this should actually be told to me, let's discuss it together. Zhiquan called a few Overseers and didn't discuss with you, which is not a good habit. ”

"President, he's not bad, he's treating us as subordinates. He called us there purely to treat a few of our Overseers as his generals, and as long as the plan was in place and the arrows were distributed, we would do what we were told. If it is the order of the president, then there is nothing to say, and we will do what you say. But he Duan Zhiquan, I was the first to be unconvinced! Where was he when I was fighting outside the gates? Where was he when I was fighting the Cossacks in Xuanfu? The younger generations, the Lord who should pour tea in front of me and listen to the teaching, why should I obey his command! ”

Yuan Weiting was quite satisfied with this statement. Between subordinates, if they surrender to each other, their position will not be secure. What they want is that they have many internal mountains and become enemies of each other, so that they can support each other and maintain balance. On that day, Zhang Tong's scholar worshiped the general and restrained a group of arrogant generals, and used this method. Once upon a time, he thought he was a hero like Napoleon, but now, he has to use some literati methods.

Instead of scolding, he nodded approvingly, "Zhiquan...... People are not necessarily bad, the main thing is that they spoil Xu Tieshan next to him too much. He is his own think tank, and everything must be arranged by him, so ...... Not good. Let's not mention him, just talk about this plan, what do you think? ”

"I don't think it's too appropriate. There are too many troops mobilized, and more than 200,000 people before and after will have to spend as much military pay and energy as they need. The white wolf's subordinates rely on the support of the people, and the strength of the feet, and they can fight at will, and the officials and soldiers cannot catch them. Now there are many guns in the troops, and their strength has increased greatly. Our main forces are in the south and in Henan, and they are all newly formed provincial armies, and there are still many units that have colluded with bandits, and there are many who are in battle against the water. It is not easy to contain them in Henan. However, it is too much to mobilize more than 200,000 people, and it is considered that an elite army should be used to exterminate it, and the rest of the provinces should be supervised and strictly guarded by their own provincial troops. Sweep the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, and trap them in one place, and the battle will be easy to fight. ”

Yuan Weiting said: "You are the way Zeng Wenzheng twisted the child back then, using a procrastination trick and a difficult word trick. ”

"Exactly. The White Wolf Army comes and goes like the wind, like a twist. If you chase them and fight, it is equivalent to being led by their noses, and the troops are exhausted, and once they are ambushed, they will suffer a big loss. Back then, the monk king bravely died like this, and we must guard against it. ”

Yuan Weiting looked at the map, and also agreed with Zhao Guanhou's method, "The direction of the White Wolf Army's action is to advance towards the Jingzi Pass, do you think, are they going to attack Hubei or Shaanxi?" ”

"This ...... Now there is too little information, and it is not good to say that it is lowly to be lowly. Zhao Guanhou didn't have the slightest embarrassment, "Strategizing and winning a thousand miles is only a skill that only characters in novels have." Without adequate intelligence, any judgment is unfounded. Far from helping to solve the problem, it will also disrupt the president's thinking. ”

"Okay, today's conversation between you and me is not to discuss military aircraft, but to gossip between friends, and it doesn't matter what you say. Just talk about it. ”

After Zhao Guanhou opened a military academy in Shandong, he also went in to listen to the lectures and studied military affairs with the four teachings and Ryanstein. In this era, Prussia's military concept and military talent were indeed stronger than China's, and he learned knowledge quickly, and his achievements today are far better than they were at the beginning. Although there were no auxiliary tools such as triangles on the table, after a brief analysis, his face was solemn

"President, one of the biggest problems with Zhiquan's arrangement is that he thinks that the White Wolf Army will definitely capture Jingzi Pass. It is the junction of three provinces, and once occupied, there is a lot of room for advance and retreat. Therefore, he ordered the troops of Shaanxi and Hubei provinces to concentrate in the area of Jingzi Pass, intending to fight a war of annihilation with the white wolf. However, if the white wolf does not attack Jingzi Pass, what should we do? ”

"Don't fight Jing Ziguan?" Yuan Weiting's expression also became serious, he lay in front of the map, and it seemed that the white tasseled military hat was too much of an obstacle, so he simply took it off and threw it aside, his fat body was almost lying on the table, looking extremely funny.

After a while, he stood up and put the military hat back on, with a helpless wry smile on his face, "The order has been conveyed, and the order will be changed, and Zhiquan will really throw the yarn hat." Now we can only gamble, betting that the white wolf will still enter Jingzi Pass. According to the speed of the march, our main force can block people at Jingzi Pass...... Our luck has never been too bad, right? ”

"That's what the president said."

"However, now that we are in the casino, we have to think about winning and losing. After your birthday, you will return to Shandong, ready to lead the troops at any time. If Jing Ziguan fails to block the white wolf, you have to use the method you said, use the method you said, use a strong force to enter and suppress the white wolf, and each province will guard its own provincial borders, compress the living space of the white wolf's department, and eat him away little by little. Now you also know our situation, the main forces are in the south, if they are withdrawn, those provinces may be given to the Geming Party. Besides, whether they can be withdrawn or not is also between the two. Let them lay down their anointing ground and go to a bitter battle, but they may not be willing. The only one I can rely on is you. Originally, your troops, I was ready to use it as a killer weapon to guard against the Fuso people. Now you can only take care of the white wolf first, and you can't take care of the Fusang devil, and you have to eat the bitterness this time. ”

Zhao Guanhou Lizheng saluted: "Shandong troops are ready to listen to the president's orders at any time!" ”

"Good! This is the soldier I brought out. Guanhou, this time you brought a group of inner court offerings to me to celebrate my birthday, I am very grateful. I'm not good-skinned, but they made this Xin'an Tianhui, and I was about to take a good look at my thoughts, this is the best gift I received on my birthday this year. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, the script of the Xin'an Tianhui came from the hand of Bai Siwen, a genius who recently came to Shandong, it is said that he studied in Yankee, was talented in eight buckets, learned five cars, and was a great talent in the world. The level of this script is comparable to that of Tessie's masterpieces, and it gives a new spirit to the traditional repertoire. This is a favor of the water, if you don't do it in vain, you can get a certain praise from Yuan, and you are very content.

Yuan Weiting said at this time: "The situation in Henan, you will know sooner or later, rather than let others say it, it is better for me to say." I was going to be in Henan, secretly training three divisions. These three divisions were named model divisions, and the purpose was to show the provincial overseers. Don't let them think that they have military power in their hands, so that they can defy Zhong Yang's authority. In fact, it's like having a knife in your home, not necessarily to kill, but purely to defend yourself. But it is inevitable that the neighbors will feel uncomfortable when they know that you have a knife in your house, so I strictly blocked this news and did not let outsiders know. It's not about targeting any of you, but I think it's best not to say anything about it. I think I'll let you know after the troops are training. After the training, according to the method of training model teachers, retrain Beiyang. When the time comes, if we train our soldiers to be strong, do we still need to be afraid of foreigners? It's a pity that I have too many thoughts on my mind, and I didn't tell you for a while, but as a result, it's too late to talk about it now. ”

He sighed, "This time, the white wolf brought me a pot serving." Rifles, hand bullets, except for cannons, everything else is available. In addition, there are two million yuan bills, which I have prepared for the three model divisions. What you have to face is not a bandit, but a bandit with weapons on a par with the officers and soldiers, can you be confident? ”

"When the lowly station was training, the president once said that no matter what weapon is used or what method of operation, the spirit is the same. As long as a soldier knows loyalty and bravery, is not afraid of death, and dares to fight hard, there is no battle that cannot be won. We will fight the white wolf with a knife, and the white wolf with a foreign gun will also be beaten to the president! ”

Yuan Weiting smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I listen to this very well!" It's not early, go back and rest, and then, let's wait for the cup to be revealed, as long as this Baozhiquan bet is right, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. ”

The raging fire lit up the night. The people stood tremblingly in the courtyard, looking at the group of uninvited guests in front of them. Most of the people were illiterate and could not recognize what was written on the banners. I only know that the soldiers under the banner with more words are more kind, while those with fewer words are more fierce. Not only did he beat people, but he also touched the woman's face and chest with his hands.

The rich man of the village was arrested in the courtyard and executed in public. After the leader reported his name, everyone knew that his name was Bai Lang, not Bai Wolf.

Seeing that these people were wearing black power suits, neatly dressed, and most of them had fast guns on their backs, as if they could do things, many of the juniors were eager to try and want to join the team. But hearing the screams of the women in the night, their steps stopped again.

It was the female dependents of the landlord's family, and they were alone, and they would definitely not survive if they had to deal with many men. Such a team...... It seems better not to participate as well.

A few big men with ghost head knives cut off the heads of the men of the rich man's family and hung them up at will. The Governor of Bai began to read to the people the sins of the Yuan clan and his determination to hang the people. Shen Hongbin, a staff officer, was in charge of supplementing on the side, and the two spoke impassionedly and appealed.

Wang Tianzong was on the other side, but he pouted unnoticed, and on the side, Wang Tianzong's sworn brother Liu Zhenhua whispered: "It's really troublesome!" Every time I go to a place where I talk about this, my ears are calloused, it's useless, talk about what he did. ”

"Don't speak, the Metropolitan Governor is willing to speak, just let him speak, it's good to bring one more person."

"One more person, one more mouth to feed, it's better to be our own people. Except for our own people, outsiders can't believe it. Hurry up and finish speaking, it is true to open a warehouse and move grain and silver. This old rich man has a few good guns, just for us. Also, the girl in his family is really good, I heard that she went to junior high school and knows how to read......"

Wang Tianzong glared at him, "You! When will you change your problem, just like Guo Lengwa, you can't control your belt when you see a girl, and if something happens, I have to compensate you. Hurry up, go and get things done, and then divide the food, here, you don't have to stay. You don't like to hear it anyway. ”

Liu Zhenhua thanked him as if he had been amnestied, quietly took a few steps back, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

Bai Langjun gave full play to his advantages of riding, excellent equestrian skills, and fast speed. After pretending to attack Jingzi Pass, he made a false shot, entered Anhui under false pretenses, and conquered the first line of Lu'an and Huoshan. Ni Jichong, who was sitting in Anhui, was preparing to enter Beijing to congratulate Yuan Weiting on his birthday at this time, but he was caught off guard, and even a battalion of the regular army was eaten clean.

In Anhui, the momentum of the Bailang Army is like the sky, and Anhui Province is where the Sang Zi of several bigwigs in the Beiyang Army is located, and it is not fine. Duan Zhiquan thought of his hometown and ordered all armies to immediately send reinforcements in the direction of Anhui to ensure Anhui's safety.

But not long after this telegram was issued, an urgent telegram from Shaanxi was placed on the desk of the War Department. Guo Jian, commander-in-chief of the Feng Yi army in Shaanxi, rebelled, and at the same time, Taibai was armed with swordsmen and responded, Gao Jun, Geng Zhi, Gong Kui, and Cao Shiqi all rose up at the same time, and the momentum was huge, claiming to have 200,000 soldiers.

The rebels were trapped in Chang'an, the city of Shaanxi Province, and the rebels took Tongzhou, and the new overseer of Shaanxi, Yan Wenxiang, was in a difficult situation and was already under siege. After the telegram for help was sent, the telegraph line in Chang'an had been cut off, and the situation in Yan was unknown.

This telegram arrived, the bad news came again, the Bai Lang Department looted from Anhui, and when most of the Yuan army came to reinforce, he withdrew and left, counterattacked western Henan, and attacked more than 10 county seats, including more than 1,000 horses and mules, and more than 2,000 strong men.

Another missionary group was captured by the Bai Lang Division, all more than 20 people, whose fate is unknown. His ministry has already raised the banner, echoing with the Shaanxi Guo department, and has been electrified against Yuan. And the troops moved towards the area of Xiangcheng, and other intelligence showed that the White Wolf Army intended to be unfavorable to the ancestral tomb of the Yuan family.

Looking at these two telegrams, Duan Zhiquan only felt that this year's autumn wind was exceptionally cool. (To be continued.) )
