Ninety-Nine Shocking Changes
It is said that this warlord melee was named "The Second Zhifeng War" in another time and space, which means that the protagonists are the direct Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and the Zhang father and son of the Feng family, oh, and a patriotic general who always defects. Although in this time and space, because of an irresponsible big butterfly flapping its wings vigorously, so that the supporting role of the Kuomintang, which was originally directly devoted to the war, became the protagonist on the stage, and the wonderful singing of the big drama made the Chinese people and world powers watching the drama too addicted. However, after entering the middle of October, the role of the Kuomintang finally gradually decreased, and the audience's eyes could finally turn to the inside and outside of Shanhaiguan to see what the two Zhifeng were doing?
What has Wu Peifu been doing all these years? It is nothing more than military training, longevity, and the study of triangles. Wu Peifu now has a big triangle outside, that is, the Sun, Duan, and Zhang anti-direct triangle alliance, and this anti-direct war was launched by this triangle alliance, and the fight made the direct line dizzy. However, what worries Wu Peifu even more is that there is also an anti-Wu triangular alliance within the direct family, the direct governor Wang Chengbin, the Soviet governor Qi Xieyuan, and the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang.
Why are there people within the immediate family who oppose Wu Peifu? It turned out that this was related to Wu Peifu's desire to unify military power, at that time, the central [***] warlords were all big warlords and small warlords, while the warlords of various factions in Beiyang took the division as the largest unit, and no matter how big the officers were, the position of the division commander always had to be held onto. For example, Wu Peifu himself is the commander of the Third Division, Qi Xieyuan is the commander of the Sixth Division, Wang Chengbin is the commander of the 23rd Division, Xiao Yaonan is the commander of the 25th Division, Zheng Shiqi is the commander of the Fifth Division, Zhang Fulai, the governor of Henan, is the commander of the 24th Division, Wang Huaiqing, the "toilet general", is the commander of the 13th Division, and Feng Yuxiang, the "Christian General", is the commander of the 11th Division. In short, the overseers and parade envoys from all walks of life refused to give up the military power of the division commander, and the military power plus the local government was naturally a warlord. Although Wu Peifu himself is a warlord, his ideal is to unify China and let China get rid of the situation of warlords, and to do this, he must also "eliminate" the warlords. From this point of view, Wu Peifu and Sun Yat-sen have something in common. It's just that Sun Yat-sen did this smoothly under the effect of a certain big butterfly, and Wu Peifu wanted to unify the military power, but the efforts to get rid of the commanders of the soldiers and divisions were unanimously opposed by the direct family, the most energetic of which were the three generals Feng, Qi and Wang. It can be said that before the start of this anti-direct war, the forces of the direct warlords were already showing signs of disintegration.
On September 15, the 13th year of the Republic of China, the Second Zhifeng War began, and Cao Kun, who was the president in Yanjing, saw that things were not good, and immediately sent a telegram to summon Wu Peifu to Beijing. Although Wu Peifu knew that the direct line was separated from Germany, the old generals could not be trusted, the new recruits had not been trained, and he was not even prepared for logistics, he also felt uncertain in the face of the aggressive war against the Triangle Alliance. However, President Cao Da was summoned and the enemy was increasing, so he naturally could not stay out of the matter, so he took a special car into Beijing on September 17.
However, Yanjing's direct generals seem to be ready to unite to meet the enemy at this time, and Yanjing welcomes Wu Peifu's arrival with a grand courtesy. From the station to the presidential palace, there is a sentry in five steps and a post in ten steps. The direct generals Feng Yuxiang, Wang Chengbin, Wang Huaiqing, etc. all lined up to welcome, and it seemed that they were really ready to react with Wu Dashuai to the end.
President Cao Kun was naturally full of joy when he saw Wu Peifu's arrival, as if he had swallowed a reassuring pill, greeted Wu with a smiling face, and said repeatedly: "Ziyu, thank you for your hard work; I'm old, and you're in charge. "Well, listening to this, does Lao Cao have the intention of making Wu Peifu the successor of the counter-revolutionary cause?
Seeing the obedience of the brothers and the trust of Boss Cao, Wu Peifu's original suspicion of internal disunity was swept away, and he was ready to take the big guy wholeheartedly to tide over the difficulties, defeat Zhang Zuolin again, and if he had the opportunity, it would be best to seize the three northeastern provinces.
When President Cao Da entered Beijing after Wu Peifu entered Beijing, he ordered a crusade against Zhang Zuolin, uh, and Sun Yat-sen! There was no such thing in the original history, but Mr. Nakayama's market rose too well in this time and space. At that time, that Tan Rui's mother-in-law and Luo Rui Yaoguo had already brought 100,000 troops to surround Changsha, Jiang Rui Zhongzheng also brought 50,000 soldiers to "aid Zhejiang", and Cheng Qian and Bai Chongxi, two chaotic parties, also led 50,000 people to Jiangxi to grab territory.
According to Cao Kun's order, Wu Peifu was appointed commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and Wang Chengbin and Xiao Yaonan were appointed deputy commanders-in-chief. With Zhongnanhai Sizhaotang as the general headquarters. On September 17, Commander-in-Chief Wu took office in Sizhaotang, and personally wrote the general, known as the "Sizhaotang general" in history.
According to Wu Peifu's deployment, the army that crusaded against Zhang Zuolin was divided into three routes, and the First Route Army, with Peng Shouxin as the commander-in-chief, commanded three divisions (15th, 9th, and 23rd) with about 40,000 people, and fought against the first and third armies of the Feng army commanded by Zhang Xueliang in Shanhaiguan, which was the main force in this battle.
The second road, with "toilet general" Wang Huaiqing as the commander-in-chief, commanded the 13th Division and two other mixed brigades to fight against Li Jinglin, the "general of the sword immortal" of the second army, in the Chaoyang direction of Rehe.
The third route, with the "Christian general" Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief, commanded the other three mixed brigades of the 11th Division, with a number of about 25,000, to deal with Wu Junsheng and Xu Lanzhou of the Feng Department in the direction of Rehe Chengde and Chifeng.
There are also a bunch of reinforcements in addition to the three routes, a total of ten routes with Yu Governor Zhang Fulai as the commander-in-chief, with Cao Qiang, Hu Jingyi, Zhang Xizhen, Yang Qingchen, Jin Yunju, Yan Zhitang, Zhang Zhigong, Li Zhiyun, Pan Hongjun, and Tan Qinglin as the commanders of the ten route reinforcements. In addition, there are also cheerleaders who say: The commander-in-chief of the rear preparations of the provinces, including Li Jichen and Li Bingzhi of Henan, Xiong Bingqi of Shandong, Liu Menggeng of Jingzhao and others.
Finally, there is the navy and air force to assist in the war, the navy is composed of the Bohai Fleet and the Yangtze River Fleet, the commander-in-chief is the Yangtze River Fleet Commander Du Xiqi, and the deputy commander-in-chief is the Bohai Fleet Commander Wen Shude. The navy exerted all its efforts to move towards Liaodong Bay, with Dagukou as its base, Qinhuangdao as its theater of operations, and Huludao as its front line. It also planned to use the navy to recruit merchant ships to transport marines and reinforcements from other routes to attack Andong and Yingkou, and to strangle the back of Shenyang by the South Manchurian Railway. In terms of the Air Force, it was organized into four teams. The first team is stationed in Beidaihe, the second team is stationed in Luan County, the third team is stationed in Chaoyang, and the fourth team is stationed in the Aviation Department. A total of more than 70 aircraft were stored in Nanyuan, Luoyang, Baoding, Qinghe, and Beijing-Dai and Beijing-Tianjin air lines. The commander of the aviation is Ao Jingwen.
However, this time there was a so-called bad omen in the "Sizhaotang general", it turned out that Wu Peifu's troops were from 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the result happened to encounter the "power rationing", and at the last moment of Wu Peifu's general, when he pointed to his own name, the electric lights of the entire presidential palace were completely extinguished, which seemed to be really unlucky.
Even more inauspicious was Feng Yuxiang's extortion of wages, and Feng Yuxiang and Wu Peifu had a bad relationship after the first direct war. It turned out that in the first Zhifeng War, Feng Yuxiang went thousands of miles from Shaanxi to aid Henan and solved the Henan overseer Zhao Qi, which was regarded as a great achievement, so he was appointed as the overseer of Henan. However, because he killed Bao Dequan, the former commander of Zhao Qi's division who defected to Wu Peifu in Kaifeng, he was removed from the post of Henan overseer by Wu Peifu. Feng Yuxiang asked Zhang Shaozeng and Zhang Tingye to find a way, and the two interceded with Wu Peifu to no avail, so they sent a telegram to Cao Kun for help, and Cao Kun relented for a while and appointed Feng Yuxiang's army patrol envoy and commander of the 11th Division, and transferred Feng Yuxiang's troops to Yanjing. Not long after Feng Yuxiang entered Yanjing, he made a great contribution to Cao Kun, that is, he forced Li Yuanhong to go into the wilderness, and he assigned army officers to surround the presidential palace and the State Council every day to ask for salary, and Li Yuanhong couldn't stand the army's forced palace to leave.
So at that time, the people who didn't know the truth thought that Feng Yuxiang was one of the three heroes of Cao Kun's bribery to be elected president, well, of course, this view is completely wrong. Feng Yuxiang was actually extremely dissatisfied with Cao Kun's bribery of the president, and was already dissatisfied to the point of having a different heart, who let President Cao not give General Feng enough rewards after successfully bribing the election? Even the Overseers won't give one. And Wu Peifu can also be hateful, and in the bargaining with Feng Yuxiang, he also refused Feng's request to be the number one in the Northeast, hehe, what else can Feng Yuxiang have in this situation? Therefore, the collapse of Feng Yuxiang's direct family caused by Feng Yuxiang's defection was completely caused by the unfair rewards and punishments of Cao and Wu, and General Feng cannot be completely blamed for his ruthlessness.
In fact, Feng Yuxiang had already hooked up with Feng Zhang at that time, and I don't know how much exercise Feng Zhang spent? As soon as Feng Yuxiang's army came out of Yanjing, it was reversed, and the deployment of the army was light before and heavy at the back, and two or three kittens were deployed in the face of Feng, and the heavy troops were all facing Yanjing, seeing that this posture was about to rebel. It's just that Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were overwhelmed by the war between the north and the south, and ignored Feng Yuxiang's various signs of defection.
