17. Medium count

At night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, many counties and cities in Fujian fell into unprecedented riots, and the sound of gunfire and shouting of killing shook the sky.

On the contrary, all the big landlords of the wealthy families are blatantly rioting, and they know what Li Bufan of East China does, but they absolutely can't bear that kind of life, they are usually the emperor of the soil, how can they allow a junior to insult and manipulate?

Without the support of the powerful forces, they naturally would not dare to confront the army, but now there are the strongest direct lines in Beiyang and the revolutionary party in the south supporting them to deal with East China at the same time. Even if he fails, can Li Bufan's hairy boy still kill them all, if he really wants to do that, the spittle stars of the world will drown him.

For this reason, the big landlords and wealthy families are fearless, and the people who lead the riots and fight desperately are the families who are guarding the home, and it is not them who die, so what is there to worry about? And as long as it is done, they are the ones who will benefit. They are not afraid, even the tyrants in history do not dare to kill all the wealthy families in several provinces at once, and the possibility of failure is very small, why be afraid?

Countless people fell in a pool of blood, but everyone was like crazy, unconscious, especially at night, no one actually knew how many people died, anyway, there were riots everywhere, and there were gunshots everywhere.

Outside the city of Nanping is different from the chaos inside the city, a force is quietly approaching Nanping.

This naturally has an internal response, Jiang Weiren didn't know why he felt a little uneasy, and finally couldn't help but pull Xu Chongzhi and said, "Big brother, wait." ”

Xu Chongzhi frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Weiren didn't speak, grabbed the leading party, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure someone answers?" ”

The leader nodded, "Of course." But you promised the group, and after the matter is completed, northern Fujian will be our group. ”

Jiang Weiren said lightly: "Don't worry, we are the talkers." It's just that it is said that your group was the first to start with Li Bufan, why are you against him? ”

The leading party sneered: "Why do you say? Why did the brethren pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers? It's not about getting rich for promotion. With some military salaries, where is it more comfortable than being a soil emperor on one side? What is the ideal, the mission? I bah, people don't destroy heaven and earth for their own sake. ”

Jiang Weiren despised it in his heart, but nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." Lead the way. Let the party lead the way, but pulled Xu Chongzhi aside and said, "Big brother, I think this matter is still a bit mysterious, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it." ”

Xu Chongzhi said with a smile: "Brother, it's like this when you want to fight." Rest assured. There is civil strife in Nanping, and we still have internal and external attacks, and the East China Army is dead. Besides, the regiment commander found out about our plan at the beginning, if he reported it, it would be a great achievement, why make it so complicated, such a mess, how many people did their East China Army have to die? If this spreads, Li Bufan will also cut off his head. ”

Jiang Weiren nodded slowly, all of this was reasonable, but his uneasy feeling lingered.

"Don't run! Running away and shooting again? ”

"Oh no, the kid who led the way ran away!"

Xu Chongzhi and Jiang Weiren both sighed in their hearts, and they were half cold, and sure enough, suddenly several red signal flares and large flares rose on both sides, illuminating their entire army in detail, and then gunfire sounded like a raging storm, and the unprepared Cantonese army suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Jiang Weiren suddenly took Xu Chongzhi to a shooting corner on the side of the road, and looked out through the light of the flare, and his heart was half cold. This is an undisguised open area, which cannot be seen in the dark, but it is clear at a glance under the flares, which is equivalent to exposing the entire sneak attack force to the fire of the other side. With his wisdom, he instantly understood that this was a bitter plan, the East China Army was reported, or the regiment commander came up with a plan on the spot, in order to completely annihilate the main force of the Guangdong army in this direction at the lowest cost, compared to those so-called wealthy private soldiers, the Guangdong army is the real enemy of the East China Army.

Xu Chongzhi looked at the officers and soldiers of the troops who were constantly falling, his heart was like a knife, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard, Lao Tzu fought with them." ”

Jiang Weiren hurriedly said: "Big brother, if you go out now, you will be sent to death, we are now snorting and gathering troops to find a weak area for the other party to rush out, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years." ”

"Good! Listen to you! Xu Chongzhi is also a long-time military person, quite decisive, although he hates, but just ran to the other party's muzzle to send him to death in vain, he may go up on the fire, but as soon as someone stops, he immediately woke up. Immediately quickly assemble the surrounding officers and soldiers.

"Rush !!" Jiang Weiren saw that there were almost no people, and he didn't care about anything else, so he immediately began to break through. They don't have much time, and when the troops are defeated and the other party surrounds them, they can't run away if they want to

Paper can't contain the fire, East China is under the enemy, there is turmoil inside, and it quickly spreads in Yanjing.

Duan Qirui was originally in the city, but in the blink of an eye, he became cold again, showing that the world was hot and cold.

Duan Qirui is also sitting on a needle carpet, and the unfavorable news one after another makes him feel cool in his heart. He also asked himself, if he encountered such a situation, what could be done to solve it? But when he thinks about it, there is only one way to lose, internal and external pressure, and the north and south are attacked, except for a dead end.

"It's too rigid and easy to break." Duan Qirui sighed gloomily, although he played Xu Shuzheng to go out to inquire about the news, but he knew that there was little hope. In his opinion, the best ending is that Li Bufan returns to his division and retreats to the south of the Yangtze River, relying on the Yangtze River to resist and survive.

Suddenly, he saw Xu Shuzheng running panting, his whole face turned red, and he hurriedly shouted, "Come on, serve tea." ”

Xu Shuzheng opened his mouth and gasped hard: "Zhigong, East China, East China"

Duan Qirui handed over the tea, smiled bitterly in his heart, and sighed: "Don't worry, take a sip of tea first, I can bear it." ”

Xu Shuzheng shook his head vigorously and gasped, took a sip of tea and said, "Zhigong, big victory, hahaha, huhu, haha, big victory!" ”

Duan Qirui didn't react, looking at Xu Shuzheng as if he was crazy and panting and laughing, and said with some hesitation: "Big victory? ”

Xu Shuzheng finally relieved his breath and laughed: "Yes." The East China Army won a complete victory. designed an ambush in Fujian to ambush the main force of the Fujian and Guangdong army, and only let Xu Chongzhi escape with a hundred people. Li Bufan personally sat in Jiujiang, deliberately showed weakness, and induced Wang Zhanyuan to attack with all his strength, but as a result, a division was dispatched to launch a fierce attack from his flank, and the Hubei army was annihilated in two flank attacks, and several generals of Wang Zhanyuan were nowhere to be found. Cao Kunyan's 24th Division of Xiao Yaonan was ambushed by the East China Army in the area of Dabie Mountain, and the whole army was annihilated. There was also a battle with the Hunan army, the main force of the Hunan army was entangled by two divisions of the Third Army in East China, and after the victory of the Battle of Jiujiang, Li Bufan let the first division of the Third Army originally stationed in Jiujiang go up the river by boat on a starry night, attack Changsha from Dongting Lake, and capture Changsha in one fell swoop. Haha, the re-emergence of our Anhui system is just around the corner, and Cao Kun fainted just now. ”

"Good!" Duan Qirui's face became red in an instant, and his whole person seemed to be ten years younger, so excited that he walked back and forth twice, and suddenly asked, "But what about the riots in East China's provinces?" If you don't handle it well, it will hurt your vitality. ”

Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "It is said that Li Bufan collected the troops of the Hubei Army and Xiao Yaonan, formed two divisions, and marched east to quell the rebellion. Moreover, the core area of East China is heavily guarded and very safe. The local garrison has made great contributions, and it is said that less than 30% of the county towns have been contributed by those wealthy world rebels, and it is only a matter of time before the chaos is quelled. Wu Peifu, a direct tyrant, also met under Xuzhou City and broke his blood, this Li Bufan really has a few brushes. ”

"Good!" Duan Qirui laughed and said, "Sure enough, he is a hero from ancient times." The recovery of Mongolia back then greatly increased the popularity of the country, and this Li Bufan will not let you be beautiful in the past. The old man was born in Germany, so are you, and Li Bufan is the same, it seems that Germany did not choose the wrong place to learn from the experience. ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "Zhigong has won the award." It's not that I, Xu Shuzheng, am arrogant and self-efficacious, compared with Li Bufan, I'm really ashamed of myself. This kid is amazing, in that situation, he can still be calm and steady in the army's heart, and design to ambush the opponent's main force again and again, and win a big victory, I can't do this anyway. ”

Duan Qirui nodded and said, "It's good that you can be convinced." Although Li Bufan is young, but now that he has once again captured several provinces, we have to respect him militarily. After the defeat of the Great War of Anhui and Anhui, we should all understand that unity is the most important thing, and as long as Anhui is in place, our interests are there. ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your teachings. Now Li Bufan can almost be said to have swept the south, who is competing? It's just that this guy is too tough, and there are too many dead people in this riot in several provinces in East China, and it's like a river of blood. ”

Duan Qirui was surprised: "How many people died?" ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "How can you say that there are hundreds of thousands." It's not just the big stakes wealthy families, it's the suppressed gangsters, the ruffians are all involved, and everyone has three religions and nine streams. The garrison has the responsibility of defense, what can be done? Kill. Especially at night, when the riots were at night, the two sides began to know how many people died, and when it was dawn, it was said that the entire county road was paved with corpses, and many people were said to be frightened crazy. ”

Duan Qirui frowned: "If that's the case, then it's really a bit of trouble." No, it looks like I'm going to have to go south. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Shuzheng's mouth: "Zhi Gong is afraid that he will not be able to separate himself for the time being." ”

Duan Qirui followed Xu Shuzheng's gaze, but saw the Duan Mansion gatekeeper leading a group of Beiyang politicians in, and these people hurriedly bowed when they saw Duan Qirui from afar
