Chapter 45: Chaos (II)

This women's Northern Expedition team, Fang Jianxiong still attaches great importance to it. But now it seems that the Northern Expedition cannot be continued, and I wonder if things will change. The financial difficulties of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Yuan Shikai relied on the aftermath to borrow a lot, so that he had the money to launch a war against the south, otherwise it would be in vain. The Beiyang Army spent more money fighting a war.

Fang Jianxiong's life is not easy, it is true that he occupies three provinces at this stage, but there are so many troops. The finances of the three provinces will certainly not be able to support so many troops. It's good to barely send out the monthly military salary, and the rest have to be posted by Fang Dashuai, and now they have their own banks, and military enterprises have also attracted investment. Otherwise, relying on the financial revenues of these three provinces, they still expect to run education? Still counting on rent and interest reductions?

Fang Jianxiong was a little difficult to face Yin Weijun, and fled to the reception room with great strides.

There were only the Lin sisters in the reception room, Fang Jianxiong walked fast, Yin Weijun also followed quickly, and at the end of the sentence: "Why are you walking so fast?" Don't be afraid of ** share! The voice was not loud, Fang Dashuai's body trembled, and his pace slowed down. Well, brother has to keep the point.

Looking back, this little girl's skin is still towards her brother, well, there is still salvation, find a chance to explain it well, otherwise something will definitely happen if it goes on like this. The question of how to be responsible is enough of a headache. This woman, she really can't go on casually. No matter what era, women are troublesome, and cultured women are even more troublesome.

"I'm sorry to keep you two waiting." Fang Jianxiong was smiling and his eyes were gentle, and the Lin Zongxue sisters were like a spring breeze, both of them were new women. It's not that pretentious. After getting up and saluting, he said a few polite words and sat down.

"Handsome! This time I returned to Nanjing, just in time to announce the cessation of the Northern Expedition, Nanjing has already disbanded the women's martial arts team that went north with the army, and last night Shen Peizhen and more than 100 people crossed the river from Pukou. We also met. Nanjing's women's Northern Expedition, after we go back. They also told their sisters, and most of them were willing to come to Wuhu with them. There are also some who have decided to go back to Hangzhou, you see. It's not a severance pay first, there are not many people, that is, more than 100 people. Two oceans per person is enough. ”

Lin Zongxue simply asked for money, which is also the master who grew up in a rich family and doesn't take money very seriously. If it weren't for the organization of some women's Northern Expedition this time, and spent a little savings and even jewelry, I wouldn't have known that the revolution would not have been able to do without money. Now that I have decided to join the Wehrmacht, it is natural to ask for money. Otherwise, these more than 1,000 people don't talk about severance pay, but say that the money for eating in Nanjing is estimated to be enough.

"It's easy to do, I can write a check right away, and no one has a severance pay of five oceans. Actually, I still hope. Those sisters who decide to go home can come to Wuhu to study in the future. They all went to a new school, and it would be a pity to stay at home and marry young. Equality between men and women is not only reflected in words, but also in work. In terms of treatment, they should all be equal. Fang Dashuai's fake words, the sisters were quite moved.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Fang Jianxiong is really short of people now, and the more he has read books, the more he is lacking, especially this batch of women's Northern Expeditionary Army. Most of them are female students who have graduated from junior high school in various schools, sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the stage that is convenient for brainwashing. Pull it over and throw it into various schools, it doesn't take too long, and it can all be in place in a year. The key is to be literate and receptive. Hospitals, telecommunications, and elementary schools everywhere need people to fill up the ranks.

"Hey, if everyone is like Dashuai, the good days of the sisters will not be far off. Hey, don't talk about this, the sisters who are willing to come to Wuhu are waiting at the Wuhu wharf, and I have to go back to Nanjing. "Feelings: Lin Zongxue has already pulled the team here. Fang Dashuai naturally wanted to express his enthusiasm and said, "Sister Lin, take my car back to Nanjing." ”

asked Yin Weijun to accompany the Lin family sisters out, Fang Jianxiong's side Jiang Baili found it, and when they met, he said: "Yin Ruizhi went to the telecommunications office to send a telegram and asked me to sign it, saying that it meant to support the country." I've signed it, what the hell is going on? ”

Jiang Fangzhen is the chief of the general staff, and the transfer of troops must be approved by him. Fortunately, the two cooperated tacitly, and Jiang Fangzhen signed first, and then came to understand the situation. As soon as Fang Jianxiong told what happened, Jiang Fangzhen smiled when he heard it: "Fuguo, you were really said by Runnong." Fang Jianxiong was stunned when he heard this: "What? ”

Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile: "When Runnong signed just now, he said that Fuguo was afraid of saying ugly things outside. I hesitated, let me ask clearly, if you really decide to send troops, the excuse is not important at all. ”

Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, slapped his head and said, "Lao Tzu is really stupid!" Take Yueyang directly, Tan Yanmin is in his hand, why don't I pinch it? ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Fangzhen's unnatural expression, and immediately smiled: "Let's go, go to the war room." ”

As the two walked, they said that when they arrived at the war room, Zhang Xiaohuai had already taken a group of young staff officers to deduce. Seeing Fang Jianxiong coming in, he got up with a smile and walked over and said, "How is it?" Determined? ”

Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "It just so happens that Tan Yanmin sent someone to let Zheng Quan control him first." Regardless of whether he agrees or not, he will send troops first. Take Yueyang, and the road to Changsha will be opened. ”

"Here's the key!" Zhang Xiaohuai is a native of Hunan, raised his hand and skillfully pointed to the map, and three words came into his eyes: "Yangsi Building". Fang Jianxiong stared at the map for a while and said, "In this area, we don't seem to have any decent troops. ”

"The previous strategic direction was the direction of Wushengguan, Hunan, how to send heavy troops here. On the contrary, the Hunan side has placed a security group in this place. Yangsilou is a remote place, but it is the only way for Hubei to enter Hunan. Past merchants all pass by. Guarding this place, that's a fat shortage. Zhang Xiaohuai knows this area very well, and it was from here that he came out of Hunan and entered Hubei.

Jiang Fangzhen was also interested when he heard this, raised his hand and pointed to the map and interjected: "The terrain around Yangsilou is dangerous, and it is difficult to deploy heavy weapons. It is known as the gateway to Xiangxi. If you don't take here, if you want to march from Hubei to Hunan, that's an empty word. ”

"We should let the intelligence department do their best to find out the situation in Yangsilou, and we won't fight a bottomless battle." As soon as Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he saw Zheng Quan probing his brain at the door, Fang Jianxiong saw it at a glance and walked out.

Zheng Quan stepped forward and whispered, "Cheng Songyun saw Liu Yutang coming with a person, and his face changed. Within a few minutes of staying, I went to the telegraph office. Fang Jianxiong thought for a while and said, "Go and call Liu Yutang here." ”

Zheng Quan hurriedly left, Fang Jianxiong returned to the war room, the two chief and deputy chiefs of general staff looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Xiaohuai said: "What's the situation?" Is there someone from Hunan, and it is estimated that someone from Changsha is also here. The current situation is that relying only on Yueyang's soldiers will not be able to return to Changsha, and the chaotic soldiers in Changsha will not be able to take care of Yueyang's side for the time being. It is estimated that you have to be careful of Changde on the West Road, Long Zhang has a division of troops in his hands, and there is no problem in self-preservation, and it is no fun to fight Changsha. ”

"It's up to us to act. It is necessary to take Yue Yang before others react. It doesn't matter what he says outside, but if Tan Yanmin says anything afterwards, he has to say something. Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand fiercely, which meant that he was even more anxious.

The two generals are unified in their thinking, and this matter is simple. Hunan is also a relatively fertile place, and Fang Jianxiong has coveted it for a long time. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, there is no reason not to take advantage of it. Previously, because of his reputation, he couldn't make up his mind, and even drilled the tip of the bull's horns.

The three of them discussed again, how to arrange the troops, how to force Tan Yanmin to submit and so on. The staff officers here finished the exercise and came to report that with the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht, it would take about a regiment of troops, and it would be possible to take Yangsilou within 12 hours, provided that the troops on the opposite side were still a security regiment that had been originally defended, and about 800 people would be armed with the party.

At this time, Liu Yutang's voice came from the door: "Report!" Fang Jianxiong smiled and looked for his hand and said, "It's hard work, come in and talk." ”

(Note: There was also a Liu Yutang during this period, but he was from Xianning, Hubei.) is not alone with this Liu Yutang in Hunan. ）

Hunan has successively aided about 8,000 Hunan-Hunan troops, and the Hubei-Hunan army has suffered heavy casualties in history, and very few have returned to Hunan. Now in this history, the casualties of the Hunan army are not small, about 2,000 people. Liu Yutang left behind with more than 1,000 people, and the rest returned to Hunan. Otherwise, with Tan Yanmin's wrist, how could there be such a thing as a mutiny.

After Liu Yutang came in to salute, Fang Jianxiong asked him how he settled in Wuhu, and Liu Yutang reported truthfully and said: "This time, I also brought a person with me, this person is the leader of the original Hongjiang Society, and launched the Pingliuli Uprising. Before the Wuchang Uprising, he was treated in the Hankou Foreigner Hospital, and he was encountered in Wuhan, and when he learned that he was coming to Wuhu, he also followed, saying that he wanted to meet the marshal. ”

"You're talking about Gong Chuntai, right?" Zhang Xiaohuai interjected, and Liu Yutang said: "Exactly." ”

At this time, Zheng Quan came in and hurried. Seeing this, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said, "Something is coming again." ”

After Zheng Quan came in, he arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, Cheng Qian is here, saying that he was ordered to see Dashuai immediately if he has an emergency." Fang Jianxiong thought for a moment and said, "Let him come here directly."

Soon Cheng Qian arrived, came in and saluted: "Fang Shuai, Tan Dudu sent an urgent telegram to invite the National Defense Army to enter Hunan to quell the rebellion." ”

Fang Jianxiong didn't speak immediately when he heard this, but looked at the two chiefs of general staff, and after the three of them smiled knowingly, Fang Jianxiong said lightly: "I'm talking about this matter, what is there to build in Songyun?" ”

Cheng Qian said solemnly: "The humble post has been built to Tan Du, and Hunan has joined the coalition government autonomous region. ”

Fang Jianxiong really smiled this time, and Cheng Qian nodded and said, "Song Yun is good!" I heard that you came back from Japan to learn artillery, and I think it is enough to be an artillery brigade commander. He turned to look at the other two.

Jiang Baili smiled very cooperatively: "Runnong mentioned to me that Songyun is a talent, and it would be a pity not to stay." It just so happens that the newly formed Fourth Brigade of Independent Artillery still lacks an acting brigade commander, so it is better to let Song Yun arrest it now. ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled, looked at Cheng Qian, and this one immediately saluted: "Thank you for the cultivation of the handsome, I am willing to die for the handsome." But at the moment, the top priority is to aid Hunan to quell the rebellion! (To be continued) RQ
