Han Zheng now has time, equipment, and troops, but in the period before the war, under the tacit agreement of all parties, it seems that every day is calm, like the quiet before the storm.

For this kind of breath that seems to be perceived, Han Zheng took advantage of this period of calm to carry out detailed preparations, arrangements and plans, set a clear goal for his next step, and formulated corresponding preparations and measures for this goal.

Not to mention, Han Zheng's eyes have never moved away from Fuyang, and at the same time, the surrounding Taihe and Mengcheng are also inevitable, as long as this is the case, Han Zheng can completely break the state of being surrounded!

Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared, and when the time slowly came to June 1913, Han Zheng finally looked forward to his chance.

In June 1913, Yuan Shikai suddenly issued an order to the south to remove Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, from his post, and the first unlucky ones were the heads of Mengcheng, Taihe, and Wuyang, who were removed by name at one time.

On the contrary, Han Zheng, who has always been unknown in China, has sprung up, and to everyone's expectations, he was raised to the position of a party leader by Yuan Shikai and appointed as a patrol envoy in northern Anhui.

This time, compared to his previous position, it is simply a heaven and an underground, and most importantly, Han Zheng can completely control the military and political power in northern Anhui by virtue of this reputation, and at the same time, it provides an extremely favorable platform for dominating northern Anhui in the future!

At this time, regardless of whether the south admits it or not, or whether it is willing or not, the Beiyang government represented by Yuan Shikai is still the only internationally recognized state power in China.

Of course, for Han Zheng's sudden promotion this time, the happiest people are Han Zheng's subordinates, as well as the forces in the government, at the same time, they are also secretly happy for Han Zheng, and while looking forward to their future, they can't help but be a little surprised in their hearts that this order came too suddenly.

However, there are still people who know about this matter, such as Zheng Rong, the logistics officer who is happy and distressed for money, and Feng and other major officers, who know how much there is Han Zheng's efforts in this situation.

And from a political point of view, not only because Han Zheng is a nail in the Beiyang in the northern Anhui region, but more importantly, for another reason, after Han Zheng discussed with a few of his subordinates some time ago, the nearly 100,000 oceans sent out played a greater role, and on the surface, they have already stood in Duan Qirui's camp!

And just for the sake of these 100,000 oceans, at that time, it almost looted half of the working capital of the logistics department, fortunately, several factories are currently earning well, and the local governments at all levels under their jurisdiction have also begun to have a source of income that can support the operation, which made Han Zheng relieved.

There is also the nearly 50,000 oceans that the other party did not have time to transfer from Liu Mazi after the victory in the battle with the bandits.

At first, everyone was a little distressed, but after this appointment, no one felt that it was not worth it. It is Zheng Rong, who is difficult to feel distressed, and he is in pain and happy at this time.

However, this heartache quickly disappeared after Yuan Shikai's order was issued, especially when the news of the dismissal from several places around him came. Because this position is so important and timely for the current northern Anhui, and judging from Yuan Shikai's order at this time, he has acquiesced to Han Zheng's control of northern Anhui!

What is the "Northern Anhui Patrol Envoy"? Naturally, it is to patrol northern Anhui, what are the ones in northern Anhui? First of all, Fuyang, Taihe, Mengcheng, Linquan and other places have to go south and further south, until the Yangtze River Basin, at least south of the Huai River, don't want to run!

Of course, these places are not something that can be obtained by a paper appointment, but after Han Zheng was officially appointed, he was confident that he could control these places in his own hands.

Just like in history, although Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, was dismissed, it was no different from before, the only thing was to be reprimanded by the north all day long, but at this time, the reprimand no longer has the slightest meaning of existence.

When Han Zheng was in high spirits and ready to make a big move, the saddest thing was the leaders in the surrounding places.

This time, it seems that not only the silver coins they sent to the north were sunk into the sea, but also the filial piety sent to the south, and there seems to be no clear answer.

Although they came to reply before, they told these people to be patient and wait, and it was this "wait" that made them want to cry without tears, and what made them even more desperate was that when Yuan Shikai in the north dismissed the news of a few people, he even singled out these people for selling opium, and those people in the southern government cut off contact with them.

Han Zheng sharpened his knives, the south whip was beyond reach, the northern government removed them, and the south that made them wait had indeed stayed in Anqing and other places at this time, but did not advance, but let them gradually despair, when the south called, it is estimated that Han Zheng has completely recovered these places!

However, as dozens of days passed, those people saw that Han Zheng had not made a move until now, and a fluke finally rose in their hearts, although there was a knife hanging over their heads, as long as the knife did not fall, it was better than falling down and cutting off their heads.

At the end of June, when the north and the south were about to fight, Hubei, the first place of the revolution, first broke out against Yuan.

However, this time it was not as smooth as the Wuchang Uprising, and the revolutionary army broke out in less than one night, and was suppressed by Li Yuanhong, who was personally held up by them, but this anti-Yuan became a fuse for all the turmoil that happened next!

I don't know if the fall of Bai Wenwei and the anti-Yuan action finally made the bigwigs in the south unable to sit still, Yuan Shikai's approach seems to have stimulated their bottom line, stabbed their nerves that were already compromised, and finally in early July, Li Liejun first unveiled Yuan Daqi in Jiangxi, and the second revolution officially broke out!

Then, on July 17, Chen Qimei announced the establishment of Shanghai to fight against Yuan's army, on July 18, Chen Jiongming convened a military meeting and forcibly declared the independence of Guangzhou, on July 20, Fujian Governor Sun Daoren announced the severance of relations with Yuan Shikai, and on July 25, Tan Yanmin declared the independence of Hunan???

A series of actions in the south are on fire almost everywhere.

The anti-Yuan banner began to be raised one after another in the area controlled by the revolutionaries, and the beacons were burned together, and half of southern China was once again plunged into war!

However, this time against Yuan, there is no strong leader, and there is quite a posture of fighting for each other, which has doomed the failure of this anti-Yuan!

In Anhui, in mid-July, after Bai Wenwei was announced to step down by Yuan Shikai, he still served as the commander of Anhui's army against Yuan. In the second half of the year, Bai went from Nanjing to Bengbu, set up a headquarters to fight against Yuan's army, and concentrated the Anhui army to advance in the direction of Yingzhou.

Suddenly, the northern Anhui region was full of flames.

In the original history, the Beiyang system that resisted Bai Wenwei this time should be Ni Sichong's one, but at this time, because of Han Zheng's existence, there is no news from Ni Sichong's one until now, and the historical task of resisting Bai Wenwei fell on Han Zheng's shoulders silently.

Because he knew the history of later generations, even if Bai Wenwei's army was more than himself, Han Zheng was not worried at all, and after rectifying the armies, the torrent marched south!

However, before leaving, there was something unexpected for Han Zheng, which had nothing to do with military affairs, only personal matters.

On July 16, on the eve of Han Zheng's army marching south, Li Ying returned to Han Zheng's side again, but this time it was not Li Ying who ran away from home, but Li Ying came to Han Zheng's side after obtaining her father's consent.

Although it is said that the two of them will communicate with each other after a while, but after all, Han Zheng is busy with the army all day, most of them are letters from Li Ying, and Han Zheng occasionally replies to letters, although Li Ying said that she was a little aggrieved in her heart, but when she thought of Han Zheng's affairs at this time, she did not have any complaints.

This time, Li Ying came over, and there were three cannons that were hidden, I don't know how Li Ying's father could have such a lot of energy to get these things, and send them here through layers of blockades.

At the same time, Li Ying also brought a letter from her father, which did not say much, but said that Shanghai was already unstable, and wanted Li Ying to take refuge here, hoping that Han Zheng would be treated kindly, and then return to Shanghai after the wind and waves were calm.

As for Li Ying's continued study abroad, it will be put on hold for the time being.

The whole letter was polite, but Han Zheng didn't know what's wrong, but he could read the meaning of his father-in-law's words to his son-in-law from this letter, especially at the end when he said that he wanted his wife to come over, but because his wife was unwilling, he couldn't come to see it because he had to accompany him.

When reading the letter, Li Ying was always by her side, glancing at Han Zheng from time to time, and then a flush flashed on her face and lowered her head.

The girl's feelings are always poems, but Li Ying's poem is mixed with a trace of style and tenderness in the war, I don't know if it was the fireworks of this era that rendered her, or Han Zheng himself rendered her. (To be continued.) )
