10891908 Far East Madman Chapter 378 is plotting against each other

When Xu Weishan and others were sitting in the Xuanwu Mansion to discuss secretly, the conspiracy in the same city was also going on, but the location was not in the restaurant, but in the southeast to tour the embassy.

The southeast tour of the embassy is the former Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, after the revolution became the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion, although this building was damaged in the battle between the Beiyang Army and the Qing Army, but after the establishment of the Republic, the successive governors of Jiangsu have repaired this building that symbolizes authority, especially when Zhu Jiabao took over as the governor of Jiangsu, he has completely renovated it, not only to strengthen the houses and buildings. In addition, a power plant was set up nearby, and a steam engine was used to drive a generator, and the electricity generated was not only supplied to the Governor's Palace, but also to some related households, and the electric lights in the Xuanwu Building used the electricity supplied by this power plant.

After Wang Shizhen took office as the "Southeast Patrol Envoy", the original office of the Yamen was a little inappropriate, so Zhu Jiabao took the initiative to let out the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion and changed the office space with Wang Patrol, so the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion became the Southeast Patrol Embassy, Wang Shizhen not only worked here, but also stayed here, and his headquarters of the First Army of the Beiyang Southward Advance was also located here.

However, a few days ago, the owner of this mansion has changed his new face, since Wang Shizhen was seriously injured in the assassination, Meng Enyuan led his guards into this mansion that symbolizes authority, and then announced that he would take over as the "Southeast Patrol Envoy" with the support of some Beiyang Army generals As for Zhang Yongcheng, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army, because he was a step slower, he could only look at the Southeast Patrol Embassy and his chest was full.

In this competition for the southeast tour envoys, Division Commander Zhang was defeated by Brigade Commander Meng, which not only surprised people, but also made Zhang Yongcheng angry. After discovering that Meng Enyuan had occupied the southeast tour embassy first, Zhang Yongcheng planned to pull his team outside the city and then drive to Shanghai. He also occupied a piece of territory, but his plan was opposed by his subordinates, who believed that the Shanghai powers were too powerful to make a difference there. It's better to choose another pound, place.

Zhang Yongcheng had no choice but to let go of the plan to pull the team to Shanghai to set up another mountain, and after his eyes turned around on the map, he was surprised to find that Nanjing was the best, because the south was the sphere of influence of the United Front, and the north was Anhui and northern Jiangsu, where Jiang Guidi and Xu Baoshan were the territory, and these two were not good stubble, rather than fighting them to the death, it was better to rely on Nanjing. Anyway, this is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, commerce and industry are not open, it is convenient to raise military salaries, and Nanjing also has an arsenal, although the scale is smaller, but it is also stronger than nothing, so Zhang Yongcheng's heart is horizontal, and he simply does not leave, so he pulls the team to the west of Nanjing, and Meng Enyuan's troops faintly form a confrontation.

Meng Enyuan, some people disagree with themselves. wanted to compete with himself for the position of the southeast patrol envoy, originally he was still a little weak-minded, but Xu Baoshan recruited a group of brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders to run to support Meng Patrol Envoy, so this confidence was also enough, and the waist pole was also straight, Zhang Yongcheng opened the posture, Meng Enyuan was not to be outdone, and simply pulled the team to the east of the city, and stationed separately from Zhang Yongcheng's troops stationed in the west of the city.

For the conflict of interests between Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng. Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Jiangsu, did not intend to make peace at all, so he simply pulled the troops loyal to him to the area of a certain division and yamen, and set up a position in the middle of the city, separating the troops of Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng, preventing internal strife between the two armies, and at the same time sending a telegram to the Beiyang center for instructions.

But the telegram was not available at that time, because the telegraph office had been occupied by Meng Enyuan's troops, and without Meng Enyuan's permission, no one could shoot and send telegrams outside the city.

As a result, under the background of the turbulent situation in the country, a pocket version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was staged in the city of Nanjing, which made this chaos even more unpredictable.

It was in such a strange atmosphere that Lu Jianzhang, as the plenipotentiary representative of the Beiyang Center, rushed to the city of Nanjing, intending to end this political farce with his incorruptible tongue and re-stabilize the first army of Beiyang in the south for the Beiyang group. At the same time, it also stabilizes the situation in the southeast.

Now, Lu Jianzhang is presiding over a meeting in the southeast tour embassy, and as the protagonist of this political farce, Meng Enyuan sits on Lu Jianzhang's right hand, while the other protagonist, Zhang Yongcheng, is not present, but only sends one of his lieutenants to attend the meeting.

Originally, Lu Jianzhang planned to set up the venue in Zhu Jiabao's Jiangsu Governor's Mansion, because in his opinion. Zhu Jiabao belongs to the "neutral. Characters, but Meng Enyuan doesn't see it that way, he thinks that Zhu Jiabao's "neutral" posture is not reliable, so he refused to go to the Zhenji Yamen to attend the meeting, and suggested that the venue be set up in his own southeast tour embassy, but Zhang Yongcheng is not a fool, and he is not willing to "throw himself into the net" to go to Meng Enyuan's territory, and in the end it was only an adjutant who came to attend the meeting.

As mediators, Zhu Jiabao, governor of Jiangsu, and Liu Guanxiong, commander of the cruiser fleet, also attended the meeting as observers. However, the two of them didn't talk much, basically Lu Jianzhang was singing a one-man show.

After all, Lu Jianzhang and Meng Enyuan are sons and daughters, and the relationship between the two is far closer than Zhang Yongcheng's, and they are very interested in Meng Enyuan's appointment as a southeast patrol envoy. The new head of Beiyang, Xu Shichang, is not against it, so. The meeting quickly reached an agreement: Meng Enyuan took over as the southeast patrol envoy, and Zhang Yongcheng took over as the presidential officer, that is, the commander of the First Army of the Beiyang Southward Advance.

These two positions were taken over from Wang Shizhen, and now Wang Shizhen is still in a coma with serious injuries, and it is indeed not suitable to continue to block the path of others' advancement, and now Lu Jianzhang has prepared a telegram, which is a telegram to Xu Shichang, the acting president of the Republic of China, as long as Xu Shichang nods in approval. Then, even if this appointment is approved by the Beiyang Center, and the situation in the southeast can be stabilized, it seems that the First Army of the Beiyang South can also restore unity, at least on the surface.

But this job arrangement is only the first step to solve the chaos in Nanjing, and the next second step is the problem of Xu Baoshan.

In the past, Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng couldn't sit down calmly and talk about it, so they didn't know what kind of role Xu Baoshan played in this "Pocket Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but now, under the reminder of a few calm bystanders, at least Meng Enyuan has come to his senses.

It turned out that this Beiyang went south

"The chaos of the banner was provoked by all Xu Hongshan Nian, and there was no Xu Zhan;" Xiao Enyuan may have withdrawn from the battle for the southeast patrol envoy a long time ago, and it was precisely because Xu Baoshan poured oil on the fire and threw a few handfuls of firewood that the fire became more and more vigorous, almost making Meng Enyuan and Zhang Yongcheng get up together.

"Xu Baorang. dared to use the means of rivers and lakes to win over Beiyang officers and plant eyeliner everywhere, this person's ambition is obvious. If you don't go here, the southeast won't be calm. Lu Jianzhang's face was gloomy, and his breath was so cold that several people next to him felt a chill in their hearts.

"Don't be reckless. Although this Xu Baoshan was born as a salt owl, he is not just a brave and unscrupulous person, not to mention, his "Chunbaoshan" now. The wharf is in full swing, and many Beiyang officers have gone to the wharf, and now when people are panicking, they should still be serious and not act recklessly. ”

Liu Guanxiong interjected: Since he overturned the cruiser "Haitian" a few years ago, his personality has become much more stable, and most of the people who are a little timid when he encounters trouble, and the pride when he served in the Beiyang Naval Division is almost completely invisible. The words that come out give people a somewhat passable taste.

"Commander Liu was too worried. This Xu Baoshan is more than brave, but his strategy is still somewhat lacking. I have been with him for so many days, and I can see some of his personality, this person is greedy and vicious, sees small profits and forgets the righteousness, not a person who does big things. This time, Xu Baoshan acted like this, in my opinion, he was taken advantage of. ”

The Zhu family is not as timid as Liu Guanxiong, but he is also a little afraid of Xu Baoshan's current military strength, so he first belittled Xu Baoshan a few words, and then changed his words and expressed his worries without worry.

"Xu Baoshan used to have only 1,000 people under his command, but now, there are nearly 10,000 troops under his direct control, plus those middle and lower-level officers in Beiyang who have entered his "Chunbaozhi", the current Xu Baoshan's strength should not be underestimated. In the past few days, I have sent someone to secretly investigate Xu Baoshan, and found that he has been walking very diligently to Xuanwu Tower recently, and he is feasting two people every day, although I have not found out who those two people are, but judging from Xu Baoshan's courtesy to the two, these two people may have some origins. ”

"Is Governor Zhu saying that these two people were sent by the United Front to contact Xu Baoshan? Jiang Zhudi and Zhao have now rebelled, and Xu Baoshan may also be plotting to punish the rebellion. Lu Jianzhang thought thoughtfully.

"A few days ago, only the United Front was the most suspicious, Xu Baoshan's strange actions, and Wang Shizhen's sudden assassination, this is probably no coincidence. In connection with the consistent style of Chairman Zhao of the United Front, I am afraid that the current turbulence in the situation in the southeast will be inseparable from Chairman Zhao. Now that the north and the south are armistice and peace, it is inconvenient for the united front to move directly in the southeast, so they will think of this plan to sow discord. But in the coming days, we should be cautious. Zhu Jiabao said.

Lu Jianzhang pondered and said, "The snake can't be without a head. It is better for Zhu Dudu to be the east, and invite Xu Baoshan in the name of the banquet, and we will hunt him down on the banquet, and Xu Baoshan will go. His troops are nothing to worry about. ”

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with that. Not guilty. Killing Xu Baoshan like this will probably give the truth. Saying that we kill innocents indiscriminately in Beiyang will lose the support of the people. In my opinion, it is better to return Xu Baoshan to northern Jiangsu, just say that now that the peace talks between the north and the south are over, there will be no war, and tell him to go back to northern Jiangsu to stare at those salt lords and bandits. ”

Recommending Lu Jianzhang to hunt and kill Xu Baoshan, Meng Enyuan shook his head again and again, disapproving of this method, of course, this is because he is afraid of Xu Baoshan's military strength, but it may not be without personal reasons, after all, Xu Baoshan is also a supporter of his Meng patrol envoy, if this person is killed by his sons and daughters, then it will be very unfavorable for him to clean up people's hearts in the future.

Seeing Meng Enyuan's head shaking around, Lu Jianzhang sneered in his heart. Accusation? It's not easy to find Xu Baoshan's crimes? In the past, he hunted and killed political enemies and opponents for Yuan Shikai in the north, and he Lu Jianzhang didn't think about this problem, and the word "fabricated crimes" was not an invention of his Lu family, sometimes. I don't even bother to make up any accusations. Anyway, as soon as a person dies, it will be a hundred, are you still afraid that ghosts will go to the underworld to cry out for injustice?

Since Meng Xunyue made a bitch and wanted to set up a memorial arch, Lu Jianzhang couldn't make this son and daughter's family too embarrassed, so he began to consider Xu Baoshan's crime, but before he could think about this crime, he heard a few crisp gunshots outside the conference room.

"Smack

"Ahh

The sound of the gunfire sounded exceptionally clear in the night. The tail note was prolonged, making it impossible to accurately judge the distance for a while, and the gunshots went from sparse to dense. Soon, like fried beans, "ping pong" sounded in the city.

Meng Enyuan hurriedly ordered the adjutants to go separately to inquire, but fortunately, there were several field telephones in his southeast patrol embassy, which went straight to various military camps, and after asking around, he finally learned that it was the gunfire from the garrison of Zhang Yongcheng's troops in the west of the city.

"What does Zhang Yongcheng want to do?" Meng Enyuan was in a hurry, and ordered the troops to be on guard at that time, if it wasn't for the persuasion of a few other people, I am afraid that he would have ordered the adjutant sent by Zhang Yongcheng to attend the meeting to be tied up.

After more than ten minutes of such chaos, more accurate information came back.

"Report! The gunfire did come from the garrison of Zhang Yongcheng's Fifth Division, but it was not a mutiny. Instead, it was a battle, and Xu Baoshan said that he had been ordered by Meng Xun's envoy to disarm the Fifth Division by force. Zhang Yongcheng refused to disarm, and as a result, a fight broke out. Now, all the telephone lines of the Fifth Division cannot be connected, and there is no way to talk to Zhang Yongcheng at all.

"Huh?!"

Lu Jianzhang was shocked when he heard this, fell back into his chair, looked at Meng Enyuan, and saw that he was looking at him with a stunned face.

"I didn't give this order. I did not give the order to disarm the 5th Division. Meng Enyuan looked innocent.

"Xu Baoshan, this is a fake military order, just this one, it is enough to shoot him Xu Baoshan!" Lu Jianzhang patted Zhuo Zi and shouted a few words hoarsely.

But then, the room suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, but everyone was thinking the same thing.

This chaos in Nanjing, it is really chaotic.
