Although the friction between the soldiers on the street has stopped because of Wang Yaowu's gunshot, Wang Yaowu has a headache when he looks at each other's hatred.

"It's only been a little bit of effort, why did you make such a big mess?"

However, the biggest headache for Wang Yaowu at the moment is how to deal with these troublesome Beiyang Army soldiers.

Wang Yaowu has already understood, the Beiyang Army just now is definitely 100% bad embryos, and he was already eyeing the sisters of this family when he was in the Wuchang garrison. It's just that the war of the Beiyang Army was unfavorable at that time, and Feng Guozhang also needed to unite the Hubei army below, so it was strictly forbidden for the Beiyang Army stationed in Wuchang to disturb the people, otherwise the family might suffer from their scourge one night.

This time, they will find this family, also because they don't know the military discipline of the National Social Army, and the people who think they are already the National Social Army don't need to sell the face of those Hubei troops, so they want to vent the "lovesick pain" accumulated in Wuchang City.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I committed the murder, I was stopped by the National Socialist Army who were full of "why can you do it, but we can't do it", and handed it over to the gendarmerie.

It stands to reason that Wang Yaowu will definitely deal with this kind of guy who is so bad that he is a scumbag.

Can it be dealt with impartially?

You must know that in the National Social Army, the crime of forcible annihilation is an absolute capital crime, even if it is an attempted annihilation, not to mention that they committed a more serious attempt at rape...

If they are really dealt with impartially, even if they are only handed over to the military justice department, they will be 100% dead.

But now that these Beiyang Army and the Hubei Army have just taken refuge, dealing with them impartially will certainly win the support of the Hubei Army, but it will inevitably make the Beiyang Army lose their hearts. And just after using them to deal with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, now Duan and Feng have just run away and dealt with them impartially, it is really difficult not to think of the idiom "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge", you must know that "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" is never a compliment, even in the "Three Kingdoms Killing", only when the demolition of "Happy Thoughts" will people be a little grateful, and other times can only make people hateful. And what's the scariest thing in this world? Maybe everyone will say the same, but if there is any one that is the most troublesome, "rumors" can definitely be counted among them.

If this matter is not resolved well, and people spread the word that "the National Socialist Army is going to cross the river and demolish the bridge against the Beiyang Army——————", you must know that now on the battlefield outside, there are at least thirty or forty thousand Beiyang defeated troops who are being disarmed by the National Socialist Army.

What's more, Wang Yaowu now also has a place to use this group of Beiyang troops, that is, to pursue Duan Qirui and others who fled...

After Li Chun and other troops launched a rebellion, Wang Yaowu ordered all the remaining troops to cross the river except for two divisions that remained in Hanyang and Hankou.

It's just that Duan Qirui's decision was too fast, and Wang Yaowu had just given the order, and Duan Qirui had already given up the troops that could not be saved, and only retreated in the direction of Huarong Road with the troops that could still be taken away. At this time, there were only a few infantry divisions of the Nationalist Army that crossed the Yangtze River, and the cavalry regiment was left in Hankou because it could not be attacked and the relationship was too conspicuous, in this case, it was really difficult to use infantry to pursue the Beiyang Army that had left all its baggage, not to mention that Duan Qirui also left some troops along the way to block—————— although many of these troops had already surrendered quite directly when they saw the Nationalist Army...

If you want to catch up with Duan Qirui's rout as soon as possible and stop them in front, the best way is to use cavalry. The National Socialist Army has more than 10 regiments of nearly 10,000 cavalry stationed in Hankou, but the cavalry is different from the infantry, the infantry can cross the river as long as they jump on the boat with their weapons, but the cavalry needs to take the mounts across the river—————— you must know that the war horses ridden by the National Socialist Cavalry are all tall Arabian horses, and it is impossible to transport more than 10,000, even if it is 35,000 cavalry across the river in half a day. So Wang Yaowu and Zhu Qinglan turned their attention to Li Chun and them.

It is normal for the infantry division of the Beiyang Army to be equipped with a cavalry regiment, for example, Li Chun's sixth division is equipped with the sixth cavalry regiment, and the regiment commander is called Wang Engui (historical facts, the cavalry commander of the sixth division is indeed Wang Engui, and the commander of the sixth artillery regiment is Zhang Songbai).

In addition to Li Chunbu's Sixth Cavalry Regiment, Zhang Shaozeng's 20th Division and Meng Enyuan's 23rd Division were also equipped with cavalry regiments, and the sum of the three was more than 3,000 people in three cavalry regiments. In addition, the Zhili Mixed Brigade and the Fengtian Mixed Brigade are equipped with cavalry battalions, and although the division of the Hubei army is a little scum, it is also the main force of Li Yuanhong, so it is also equipped with a cavalry battalion.

In the establishment of the late Qing Dynasty, the cavalry regiment and the infantry regiment were also three battalions, in other words, after adding the mixed brigade and the cavalry battalion of the Hubei army, there were at least four cavalry regiments in the Wuchang area with more than 4,000 troops to use.

With more than 4,000 cavalry, it is impossible to defeat Duan Qirui's rout, after all, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people who follow Duan Qirui, but if they just harass along the way, or run in front of Duan Qirui and them to intercept...

Originally, Wang Yaowu was ready to order Li Chun and other cavalry to attack, but who knew that such a thing had happened.

"I knew that this would be the case, I should have directly ordered Li Chun's cavalry troops to set off first, but now it is..."

Now if we deal with these troublesome Beiyang Army, and the infantry army doesn't mention it for the time being, won't those Beiyang Cavalry who have just surrendered have any other ideas? At that time, as long as they are a little passive and slack off, it will be really difficult to catch up with Duan Qirui...

But if it is not dealt with impartially, not to mention anything else, what should the National Social Army do?

You must know that the National Social Army can always maintain a good military discipline, because of the strict military law, the abundant military salary, and the National Social Army only prohibits drugs and gambling, but does not prohibit pornography, so that the soldiers below have a place to vent—————— Yan Guang never thought that he could build the National Social Army into the Yuejia Army or the People's Liberation Army, not to mention why there were inflatable dolls in later generations? Isn't it what Hitler provided in World War II to solve the problem of soldiers? (Of course, the following play landlords are still allowed, but there are strict regulations on the gambling money, only one copper corner of gambling is allowed in each game, and more than one copper horn is found to be directly confined ... ）

On such military discipline issues, the Nationalist Army has always been very strict in its handling, and as long as they are caught, even officers will be dealt with directly by military law. Like the warlords in other places, the garrisons in some remote counties can do whatever they want, and the local political axes do not dare to take care of them at all, or the local political axes are controlled by these garrisons. At this point, Beiyang is better, after all, the control of the army below is stronger, but the army of the Kuomintang or other warlords is...

The former has a weak control over the armies below, or is it not under the control of Nanjing at all for many armies, as for the latter? Many times it is simply feeding the army with an indulgent attitude.

(Wu Xintian, the commander of the 21st Regiment of Li Chunbu, was like this, Wu Xintian forced the people under his rule to plant opium during the warlord melee, and later when he sent troops to help Liu Zhenhua, he burned more than 30 villages, killing and wounding more than 1,500 local people...) ）

In the past, Yan Guang has been using a high-pressure policy to manage the army, because the military salary is abundant, the treatment is good enough, and the officers and soldiers are "a kind of military law", so the army is willing to obey this kind of military discipline, but now...

If Wang Yaowu loosens his hands on these Beiyang troops a little, I am afraid that in the future, he will not think that the officers and soldiers below will continue to obey and abide by military discipline...

"Really, these guys are really going to give me a problem..."

Just when Wang Yaowu was having a headache, Li Chun behind him was in a cold sweat. Those lower-level officers and soldiers in the Beiyang Army may not know the military discipline of the National Social Army, but as the former mainstay of Beiyang, Li Chun is impossible not to know —————— in fact, when he has not yet rebelled, or is still the mainstay of Beiyang, Li Chun often laughed at the National Social Army with Jin Yunpeng and the others for being too hard.

Later, he decided to take refuge in Yan Guang, and Li Chun also thought about explaining the military discipline of the National Social Army, but he had been busy contacting and preparing for the rebellion at that time, so in the end, he was so busy that he forgot about it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you are just busy forgetting it, the most important thing is that Li Chun once told the people around him about it, and now the people below have made trouble, if someone mentions this matter to Wang Yaowu...

In fact, Li Chun was too worried, after all, it was not he who instigated his subordinates to do this. Even if it is really investigated, it can only be held accountable for his lax control.

But even so, Li Chun still glared at those Beiyang soldiers fiercely, if it weren't for Wang Yaowu and the others who were there, maybe Li Chun would have shot them.

However, although those Beiyang soldiers are all Li Chun's subordinates, after all, it is Wang Yaowu who is in charge at the moment, so Li Chun can only say on the sidelines.

"Minister Wang, these rabbit cubs have violated the military discipline of our National Social Army, should you shoot them according to the military discipline?"

The meaning of the words is that they have already sold those soldiers.

Li Chun's meaning Wang Yaowu naturally heard it clearly, but Wang Yaowu never cared about Li Chun's opinion, a surrendered general, even if he had any opinions, what could he do? Wang Yaowu only cared about the thoughts of those ordinary officers and soldiers...

So after listening to Li Chun's words, Wang Yaowu just shook his head there and didn't say anything.

Although Wang Yaowu didn't say anything, after hearing Li Chun say that he would shoot all the Beiyang soldiers who were making trouble in accordance with the rules of the National Social Army, the Beiyang soldiers who were escorted by the military police and the onlookers around them all scolded.

However, Li Chun turned a blind eye to the scolding of those Beiyang soldiers and did not hear it.

Of course, Li Chun knew that if he did this, he would definitely lose the general's heart, but what if he didn't do it? What's more, there is also a benefit after losing the military heart, at least no one will suspect you after losing the military heart...

Yanjing, Iron Lion Hutong.

As the political center of China, the Iron Lion Hutong gathers many political axes and yamen in addition to the presidential palace, so in the past, the Iron Lion Hutong has always been one of the most lively places in Yanjing. (Bada Hutong is the full name of the eight hutongs, not a single one hutong.) Baishun Hutong, Rouge Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Stone Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, Li Shamao Hutong. ）

It's just that now that the Iron Lion Hutong has been affected by the Beiyang Army's successive defeats—————— it seems to be a little more lively than before? It's just that there is a lot of panic mixed in these points, so that I can't see the orderly scene in the past.

And the reason for this panic, in addition to the unfavorable situation for Beiyang now, is also Yuan Shikai's condition...

"Kung Pao-sama, the medicine is here..."

At Yuan Shikai's bedside, as Yuan Shikai's most relied on advisor, Yang Shiqi walked over with a bowl of medicine, and then handed it to Yuan Shikai's concubine.

The little concubine was about to feed Yuan Shikai who was lying on the sickbed after taking the medicine bowl, but Yuan Shikai, who was pale and bloodless, just waved his hand.

"Let's put it aside..."

Hearing Yuan Shikai's words, the little concubine was stunned, but in the end, she didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shikai's intentions, so she got up and put the medicine bowl on the table.

"Kung Pao, your body ......... Let's take the medicine quickly..."

Seeing that Yuan Shikai asked the concubine to take away the medicine bowl, Yang Shiqi persuaded bitterly on the side.

However, after the concubine left, Yuan Shikai only coughed twice and smiled bitterly.

"Xingcheng, I know my own body, I don't have much time left, even if I drink those medicines, it's just a matter of lingering for a while..."

Of course, Yang Shiqi knew that what Yuan Shikai said was true, because Yuan Shikai had been lying in the hospital bed for at least three or four months at this time, and he suddenly got better some time ago. But since the telegram of Wuchang was returned, Yuan Shikai was directly ill, and his originally chubby figure was now much thinner due to the disease...

Looking at the proprietor's thin appearance now, Yang Shiqi's eyes were naturally red, but although he was Yuan Shikai's most relied on strategist, he was helpless in the current situation...

Not only in the south, but even in the north, there are too many people looking forward to Yuan Shikai's death.

There are even many people who are looking forward to the Nationalist Army going north as soon as possible, in addition to those who have long colluded with Yan Guang, there are also many former Manchurian ministers...

Of course, it is impossible for them to get any benefits, and they have no contact with Yan Guang, but as long as they can see that the "living Cao Ying" in their hearts is unlucky, even if there is no benefit, their hearts are still happy...

For those Manchurians who hated Yuan Shikai, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years, and there was no way to really die, but it must not die in a daze. Forget about those revolutionary armies in the south, they are also fighting hard with real swords and guns, but what about Yuan Shikai? That's a "living Cao Ying"!!

However, although this group of Manchu ministers hoped that Yuan Shikai would be unlucky, but no one paid attention to them, who said that now the Manchurians have no strength, and even the first division, which is all banner people, has been transferred to Hubei?

Hearing Yuan Shikai say that he couldn't last much time, Yang Shiqi's eyes turned a lot red.

But before he could say anything, Yuan Shikai had already continued.

"I regret it, I regret trusting Li Chun's wolf-hearted guy..."

Hearing Yuan Shikai say this, Yang Shiqi didn't know how to respond.

The Beiyang Army will fail in Wuchang, a large part of the reason is because of Li Chun's relationship, if there is no Li Chun's surrender to the enemy, Wuchang would not have fallen so early, and Duan Qirui could not have only brought fifty or sixty thousand people to run out, it can be said that everything is because of Li Chun...

Looking at Yang Shiqi's appearance, Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly.

"Xingcheng, I can't last long, old man, and now I only have a few things I want to ask you..."

"Gong Bao, please say, Xingcheng will do it even if he dies."

Yang Shiqi also knew that Yuan Shikai would not live long, and what he was telling now was probably his last wish, so he hurriedly leaned in to listen to Yuan Shikai's approach.

Looking at Yang Shiqi's serious appearance, Yuan Shikai first shook his head with a wry smile, and then said all the things he wanted to ask for. It's all some posthumous things, such as the future of Beiyang, his own family, etc., Yuan Shikai hopes that after his death, he can let Yang Shiqi help get them abroad, so as not to ......... in the future lest one day in the future, a certain owner surnamed Yan Jing will take advantage of his family.

Yang Shiqi naturally couldn't refuse the old proprietor's last wish, so after listening to it, Yang Shiqi nodded and agreed.

"Please rest assured that Xingcheng will definitely take care of Gongbao's family..."

Yuan Shikai knew Yang Shiqi's personality very well, so he was relieved to see him agree.

"Since Xingcheng you agreed, then my old man will be relieved..."

After speaking, Yuan Shikai glanced at Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi knew that this was Yuan Shikai tired and wanted to rest, so he withdrew from the room after nodding, leaving Yuan Shikai alone in the room.

After Yang Shiqi withdrew from the room, Yuan Shikai, who was lying on the sickbed, looked at the ceiling above his head and smiled bitterly.

"Could it be that the men of our Yuan family really don't live to be 60 years old?"

Yuan Shikai's family has said that men can't live to 60 years in the past, and this kind of feudal superstition is impossible for anyone to believe, but after Yuan Shikai's father and Yuan Shikai's grandfather are like this, Yuan Shikai can't help but believe it...

In fact, in history, Yuan Shikai did not live past the age of 60...

It is precisely because there are two living examples of Yuan Shikai's father and grandfather in front of him, so Yuan Shikai has always been worried that he will not live to 60, so after taking charge of the power of North China, Yuan Shikai has been thinking about one thing, that is, to make himself emperor...

Of course, as an older generation of Chinese, being an emperor is naturally one of Yuan Shikai's dreams, but a bigger reason is because Yuan Shikai wants to "change his life". Because according to a Xiangshi, as long as Yuan Shikai can become the emperor, then the life of their Yuan family will naturally change, and the so-called male is only 60 years old, and there will naturally be no problems...

However, now it seems that Yuan Shikai has no chance to change his life...

"Is it impossible to disobey destiny..."

Looking at the ceiling that seemed to have not been carefully looked at for a long time, Yuan Shikai muttered.

If possible, he really wants to be an emperor once, if not for his dreams, but for the descendants of the Yuan family...

(Yuan Shikai's statement that he changed his life when he became emperor is taken from Yeshi ^-^, there are two theories about changing his life, one is that after Yuan Shikai became emperor, he and the men of the Yuan family can get rid of the curse of not living 60, and the other is that after becoming the emperor, he will definitely not live to 60, but the next generation is fine)

——————————

"Hurry, hurry, give me a hurry!!"

On the way to Huarong Road, Yang Shande was riding on a Mongolian horse and shouted loudly to the surrounding Beiyang soldiers.

However, the Beiyang soldiers around him did not respond to Yang Shande's words, but just walked forward silently with their heads down.

A few years ago, Duan Qirui led at least 50,000 or 60,000 Beiyang troops to break out of Wuchang, but now there are less than 50,000 Beiyang troops left. Many of them were arranged by Duan Qirui to carry out the blocking mission in the rear, but many of them ran away halfway...

Seeing that the Beiyang Army was completely out of the mix, those Beiyang Army who followed and left were naturally lifeless, and even when they were marching, they were instinctively taking steps, but their minds were blank...

Looking at the soldiers under his command like this, Yang Shande sighed.

"The army's spirit is scattered..."

Saying that, Yang Shande scolded.

"It's all that damn Li Chun."

It's just that just when Yang Shande hated Li Chun so much, a cavalryman suddenly rode a horse and rushed here.

"Senior Commander Yang, the commander asked you to go over immediately!"

Looking at the panicked look of this cavalryman, Yang Shande had a little bad premonition in his heart.

"What did the commander tell me to do?"

The cavalryman obviously knew something, but after looking around, he didn't say anything, just urged in a loud voice.

"Senior Commander Yang, you better hurry over..."

Yang Shande understood that this matter must not be said in front of everyone, so he nodded and followed the cavalry to ride away in the direction where Duan Qirui was.

After about ten minutes, Yang Shande and the cavalry rushed to the location of Duan Qirui in front. There, in addition to Duan Qirui, others such as Wang Zhanyuan, Jin Yunpeng and others also arrived one by one, but looking at their appearances, they were all very pale.

Seeing their appearance, Yang Shande also knew that it must not be a good thing, so he asked everyone in a low voice before and after riding his horse closer.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zhanyuan and the others all glanced at Yang Shande, but they didn't say anything, and finally Feng Guozhang spoke after being silent for a moment.

"The news just came from Yanjing......... Miyaho-sama he ......... Miyaho-sama, he died of illness..."

"What!"

(To be continued)
