Chapter 708: Bet
Under the premise that there is a strong enemy outside, the health of Emperor Hongxian can be regarded as the highest level of secret in the entire dynasty, but for the intelligence agency of the Lu army, the so-called top secret is nothing more than a matter of spending a few more gold bars. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info very quickly, and the information about Yuan Weiting's sudden deterioration of illness and the lack of good solutions for the former Jin Imperial Doctor and overseas doctors was placed in front of Zhao Guanhou.
The Marshal's Mansion in Jinan is arranged like the front-line headquarters of the Yunnan Army. On the wall, a large military map is hung, and on the table, there is a simulated sand table. The lifelike models of soldiers from Zhangmen, the holy hand of the clay man of Jinmen, respectively represent the military strength of the two sides of Gonghe and Hongxian, and cooperate with the mini banner to turn the gunsmoke and killing of the six southwestern provinces into this small world. Jingci's favorite toy is this, if it weren't for being beaten by Anna a few times, the elite generals of Gonghe Hongxian, the Gonghe heroes, and Hong Xian's loyalty would have to become a puddle of mud in the hands of the eldest young master of the Zhao family.
The Lu army did not participate in the whole battle, but as a study subject for officers, the commander of the Lu army liked to stand in the perspective of a bystander and analyze and review the war. Ryanstein doesn't think highly of the war, which, in his opinion, is a salted fish-to-salted peck, worthless. Either spend time teaching students, or with a group of Tiele noblewoman artificial people. By the way, now he added his Prussian compatriots to his hunting range.
This time, most of his time is spent in the dining room or lounge, but Yuqing is extremely enthusiastic about this war. He has no military position, but he pays more attention to the evolution of the battlefield than a professional soldier, and is more keen to review and scrutinize. Every time she deduces, she insists on using Hongxian to defeat the Gonghe, and will let the dragon flag, which symbolizes the imperial system, be planted all over the southwestern provinces.
Although she gave birth to two children, because she insisted on exercising, Yuqing still maintained a good figure, wearing a tight-fitting military uniform, showing her graceful figure. The big riding boots on the brick floor made a crisp and pleasant sound. In his tone, there was irrepressible excitement.
"Cai Feng only had 3,000 hungry soldiers, and even after the expansion of the army, there were only 6,000 people. The Second Route Army is only 5,000 Guizhou soldiers, and with such a small number of men, there are not as many people as the Third Division, why can't it be defeated? These Beiyang soldiers are really useless, Brother Cao praised Wu Ziyu to the sky, but when he watched the war, he couldn't see any ability. Today, it seems that my Lu army is the first in the world, and in my opinion, even if the soldiers of the whole country are fighting with us now, we are not afraid. ”
Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said, "It's unfair to say this." Now on the Sichuan front, the Yuzhang Division of the 20th Normal Division suffered the greatest losses, and the Third Division did not suffer losses at all, but instead took the opportunity to absorb the defeated troops and increase its strength. Wu Ziyu's abacus clanged, he fought hard with Cai Feng, lost his strength, and he would not get the territory, and the only one who would benefit would be Jingli. On the contrary, it is consumed like this, and the benefits are the greatest. Retreat a few battles and win a few more battles, although from the scene, he did not have the upper hand, but from the general situation, the situation is still in the hands of Cao Zhongkun. Besides, it can't just count Cai Feng's own soldiers, but also the strength of the people's army. These Beiyang soldiers are really bearish! It was they who made more and more rebels, sent countless soldiers to the people's army, and made the people's army stronger and stronger. If it weren't for their poor play, Guangxi might not have rebelled. ”
Lu Ganqing of Guangxi finally raised the anti-flag, and first persuaded his in-law Long Chaoguang to bring more weapons and less troops on the grounds that food and salaries were difficult and the troops could not be maintained, and then recruit troops in Guangxi, which could solve the large amount of expenditure. Long Chaoguang out of trust in his in-laws, obeyed his words, and brought enough weapons to arm a division, but the army was only one regiment.
As soon as he arrived in Baise, he was surrounded by the troops of Ma Qi, a general under Lu Ganqing, including the guards who carried their guns. Although for the sake of the face of the in-laws, there was no embarrassment for Long Chaoguang and sent him out of the country, but the Lu and Long families and the Hongxian Dynasty have officially turned their faces.
Lu Ganqing, who obeyed Cen Chunxuan's command and openly opposed Yuan's name, got in touch with Li Xiaru's department of the Communist Army, and Ma Qi's army marched into Guangdong. The rebels in Guangdong responded one after another.
The Gui army has coveted the rich Guangdong for a long time, and this time he finally found an opportunity, and he will naturally work hard to fight. Sun Dixiang, who was supported by the anti-water navy and had 20,000 rifles in hand, raised a large number of people's troops in Guangdong. Although these people are poorly trained, they have a large number of munitions, and they are not left behind to deal with Long Qiguang's troops, who are also untrained. The Dragon King's demise was only a matter of time.
Although there were many troops, their desire to attack was not strong, and most of them waited and watched from the spot. There are also troops who are already preparing to retreat and turn, and even have private contacts with the communist forces. Even with wagons of banknotes being shipped to the front, the morale of the soldiers continued to fall.
The situation has reached a critical point. Yu Qing's face did not have the slightest worry, but a smile that everything was under control
"That's it, show the monkey head, without the support of the forehead, can he sit firmly in the world. As soon as he took the throne, he wanted us to support him? Daydreaming! In my opinion, whether his dragon chair is stable or not, the southwest is secondary, mainly in our Shandong. Today's situation is just like the Wuchang incident of the Ge Ming Party. The forehead is like Yuan Weiting at the beginning, the left side wins, the right side wins, these communist forces are vulnerable in front of our army, and the Beiyang Army is the same. As long as you exert your strength, Yuan Si will have to learn from Longyu and obediently take off your robe to make way. ”
"Come here, let me kiss it." Zhao Guanhou took Yuqing's hand, dragged her into his arms, and stretched his hand straight into the military uniform, the latter's face quickly turned red, and his demeanor changed from the heroic posture of Fang Cai to charming and moving.
"I'm more energetic than Yuan Weiting, compare me to him, don't you compare me to ugliness? Penalties. Punish you for being a fat girl again! ”
"Wait until I have fulfilled my filial piety...... Girl, boy, all give birth to ......"
The two laughed a few words, and the topic of seizing the throne was just diverted, and Yuqing saw that Zhao Guanhou was still silent about seizing the throne. I had to change the subject
"Mrs. Jiang Ningzhou's telegram, you also saw it. Feng Huafu wanted to unite the provincial overseers, electrified the monkey head, and asked him to give up the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, abolish the imperial system, and return to the republic. You see, how about we use this telegram as an excuse to go directly to Jiangning? With Yu Wei, who raised troops across the river at the beginning, and the reputation of defeating the Fusang people, as long as our troops arrive in Jiangning, it will take less than two hours to completely solve the Feng people. ”
"Feng Yuzhang expanded his army in Jiangning, and the Praetorian Guard Army had four divisions, and the actual strength was more than three divisions. But in terms of combat effectiveness, it would be good to be able to top one and a half divisions of the Lu Army. I'm sure of him. But the problem is, it can't be done. He himself didn't want to be the leader of this alliance, but even his wife betrayed him, this kind of person can't do his best, and he is destined to make no big waves, so he doesn't have to pay attention to him. However, Lao Feng's idea is a bit interesting. If the provincial overseers join forces and can make the emperor abdicate, then in the future, can there be things that the provincial overseers can't do? In the whole of China, it is not the emperor or the president who has the final say, but the overseers. Cai Feng's men and horses can achieve such good results, you understand? ”
Seeing Yuqing nodding, Zhao Guanhou kissed her on the forehead
"My good character, I know what you think, but I can only say that it can't be done. The provincial overseers already have power, so they won't hand it over. Now that position in the capital is actually a fire pit, and whoever sits on it suffers. The situation in China is nothing more than a decision made by public opinion, diplomacy, and military affairs. Public opinion cannot be talked about, and whoever has the power will support whomever it supports. Diplomatically, there are many places where foreigners need to rely on us, and diplomatically, it will not have much influence on us. What's more, now that we have defeated the Orientals again, and the Tiele people are too busy to take care of themselves, how much power do they have to interfere with us? All that's left is a military. The military victory or defeat in the southwest does not matter, what really has an impact on the republic lies in the southeast, and to put it more bluntly, in the Lu army. But what determines the Lu army is the economy. The country's economy is like this again, banknotes are getting closer and closer to waste paper, how can the war be won. But we can't let the economy collapse. ”
Zhao Guanhou patiently said: "If the country's economy collapses, our Shandong's economy will also be affected, and our own industry will also suffer." Therefore, we must not let the situation get out of hand. Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hunan...... The situation in the six southwestern provinces is difficult to recover, but the additional provinces can no longer make trouble. At least for the time being, it has to be maintained. I read the information, Lu Gongwang and Zhu Duan fell out, ready to rebel against him? Zhejiang is a land of ointment, and it must not be chaotic. What's more, Lao Zhu is good with us, and when he was fighting the Orientals, he also helped Shandong. Send him a telegram and ask him to be ready, and if he needs Lu Jun's assistance, he will say a word. ”
Yuqing nodded, and asked again: "What should I do with Juzheng, Ma Guojie's side?" For the sake of Fengxi's face, or is it a gift to leave the country? ”
"What to do? It has nothing to do with Feng Xi, it's that they chose the wrong target. After the Battle of Shandong, the hearts of the people were all mine. Whoever dares to say that he opposes me Zhao Guanhou in Shandong, without my hands, the people can kill him. Ju Zheng has no money, no money and no food, who will do it with him? Brother Guojie is against Yuan's claim to be emperor, not against me. The relationship between him and Sun Dixiang is actually not very close, and the two are now considered cooperative. Since I didn't rely on the Yuan clan to raise troops, he didn't have the heart to oppose me. The two of them are at most guests who came to Shandong as guests, so they don't need to pay attention to it. I have no objection to opening a newspaper in Jiaodong, as for doing other things...... The surrounding security regiment is enough to deal with them. And they are not stupid, and it won't be long before they will leave. Now, I'm thinking about how to solve the problem without making a big deal with the economy. Huafu's telegram helped me a lot. ”
Zhao Guanhou fiddled with the telegram, shook his head and said, "Old Feng, it's really pitiful to say. Even his own wife was separated from him. Even if you win the world, what is the use? This Mrs. Zhou is worthy of admiration, and she is loyal to the Yuan family. In the former Jin period, the loyal ministers of the world belonged to Zhang Biao and Zhang Yuan, and now they still do not change the former golden crown robe. This Hong Xian loyal minister, she is the only woman, I don't know whether my brother-in-law should laugh or cry. 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men, in terms of loyalty, I am not as good as this Zhou. ”
Feng Yuzhang's wife, Zhou, was born as a tutor in the Yuan family, and was later introduced by Yuan to marry Feng Yuzhang as his wife. He and Yuan Weiting are like father and daughter, even if they are Feng Yuzhang's wife, they still act as spies for the Yuan family. All of Feng Yuzhang's actions, she will regularly send reports to Beijing, and here in Shandong, she also has to copy them. Although Zhao Guanhou is sitting in Jinan and Shandong, the situation in Jiangning is also well understood.
Yu Qing knew what he was referring to, smiled shyly, and put her hands on Zhao Guanhou's shoulders, "Forehead, I know what you want to say." Rest assured, no matter what, I will not betray you. No matter who you are for or against, I am with you...... Forever. ”
"I know you're not going to betray, I'm just talking about myself. The Yuan family treats me kindly, if it weren't for my brother-in-law, how could I open a house so easily, as Yuan Rong. But I am not as loyal to him as this woman. There are ministers like this, Yuan's luck, and there is a wife like this, Feng's great misfortune. Even if Huafu wins the world, he can't win his wife's heart, so what's the point? ”
"There are not many men like Eyu who care about the thoughts of their wives and concubines at home, and even fewer at your level. If you want to, even if you want to be a groom every day, it's not a problem. You think about my filial piety, you think about the mind of that Songjiang slut, I understand all this, and I know that a man like you is a blessing. If you have a husband like this, you shouldn't expect anything else, but in my heart, there is always a thought that I can't give up. I used to be the righteous daughter of Galeries Lafayette, and I used to be by Lafayette's side, talking about her old man's house, and I can't forget the scenery that belongs to me alone. During those days, although there were also Su family members in the family, from my heart, I felt that you only belonged to me, and they were just my slaves. But until Wuchang shoots, all this ...... It's all gone. ”
Her voice was a little choked, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes, "I used to hate Dajin Kingdom, but I hated those losers, who lost the dignity of their ancestors and lost their family business." Cheng Zhen is the prince of freedom, Ren is the rise and fall of the country, as long as he has his money to spend, he doesn't care. But I have a strong temperament, my country is bullied, my own people are looked down upon, I can't swallow this breath. I hate Dajin Guo, just because I love Dajin Guo, I hate it and scold it, because I am afraid that it will die, not because I want it to die. Until it's really dead...... I just want to pull it back. ”
Yu Qing's hand grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand, "I know, it's difficult!" So retreat to the second, just hope that there will be an emperor in this world, and I will be content. As I said, let's engage in the rule of the three emperors, and give the Wanyan family a vice emperor. Now is an opportunity, as long as you raise an army, the world can be taken into the palm of your hand. As long as you answer me...... Even if you give me to kill myself in the future, I will laugh and drink that cup of crane top red. ”
Zhao Guanhou hugged Yuqing tightly, feeling her body trembling in his arms, he knew that he had to do something, otherwise the jade man in his arms would be farther and farther away from him.
"My good character, even if I really become an emperor, I am not willing to give you to kill yourself. If you really want to drink the crane top red, it is also shared by the two of us. Let's make a bet, if this time, Yuan Si wins, or it is a tie, and the country is divided into north and south, and I also count this country as he sits firmly, then it proves that the people can accept an emperor. Since I have been a rebel once, I don't care about being a second time, I will pick up the people, take down this country, and make you the emperor. Are you happy? ”
"Really?" Yuqing raised her head and looked at Zhao Guanhou, "Are you telling the truth, or are you lying to me?" ”
"Look at what you said, how could I be willing to lie to you. But if Yuan Si loses......"
"There are tens of thousands of horses in total, and a few poor provinces, how can it be turned upside down? I bet on this treasure, and if I lose, I'll listen to everything! Yuqing gritted her teeth and should have gambled.
Not long after the two of them made up their minds, Cuiyu walked in from outside, her head covered with beads of sweat, "Master, Gege, this is an urgent call from our Shaanxi intelligence agency!" After I received it, I had to send it immediately. ”
"Shaanxi?" Yuqing took the telegram, only glanced at it twice, the smile on her face disappeared, and said hurriedly: "Take advantage of the rebellion?" This...... That's impossible! ”
Zhao Guanhou took the telegram, swept it roughly, and then said with a smile: "Gege, you have already lost half of this gamble." ”
