"Quick! Fast! The 91st Regiment went to Xicheng to control the traffic arteries, and the 92nd Regiment took over the city gates. The 93rd Regiment followed the 91st Regiment. Major General Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 9th Infantry Division of the Northern Army, who was the first to enter Yanjing City from Guang'anmen, ordered.

As an army that resisted the onslaught of more than a dozen towns of the Beiyang Army at Shanhaiguan, the 9th Infantry Division undoubtedly made great achievements. Major General Zhang Haipeng asked Wu Haoxuan to hope that his troops would be the first to enter Yanjing City. Wu Haoxuan agreed, so after the Guang'an Gate was opened, the 9th Infantry Division immediately rushed in.

Several other infantry divisions also followed the 9th Infantry Division into the city, and began to control the transportation arteries in the city, surround the barracks of the Beiyang Army, etc., according to the plan pre-booked, and control the entire Yanjing City step by step.

Although Wu Haoxuan wants to take Yanjing City bloodlessly, it seems unlikely. Even though the Northern Army had entered Yanjing City, it still encountered some Beiyang Army soldiers who tried to resist stubbornly. They used the weapons in their hands to attack the Northern Army, and this naturally caused the Northern Army to counterattack, and fierce gunfire rang out in Yanjing City.

"The enemy has entered the city, quickly beat them out!" An officer of the Beiyang Army yelled loudly.

"Bang! Bang! "A crisp gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit him in the chest, piercing him directly through the heart. Another bullet hit him in the thigh, knocking him to his knees. It was two snipers from the Northern Army who fired.

Although, the battle inevitably broke out. However, after the Northern Army had entered the city, many Beiyang Army rationally chose to lay down their arms and surrender. In the face of the attack of the powerful Northern Army, they knew that if they resisted stubbornly, the final result would undoubtedly be very tragic.

Wu Haoxuan for this result. It's also quite satisfying. Although the battle began, it was only a very small number of people in the Beiyang Army who really resisted. If Duan Qirui's henchmen did not open the city gate, then the Northern Army would have to storm Yanjing City. At that time, even if they can win, they will definitely pay a lot of casualties. Other than that. Yanjing City will definitely be bombed into ruins.

"Bang! Bang! When the fierce gunfire came, the faces of the generals of the Beiyang Army who gathered in the General Staff of the Beiyang Army changed drastically. They were still here to negotiate a bargain with the Northern Army, and now the battle had begun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic, this is the Northern Army that has entered the city. If you agree to the conditions proposed by the Northern Army, then please go back and appease the troops, lest something unpleasant to everyone will happen. Liu Wenfan said with a smile. The Northern Army has already entered the city, then. These generals of the Beiyang Army are undoubtedly gone. At this moment, they had no other way than to agree to the conditions of the Northern Army.

Sure enough, after hearing the news that the Northern Army had entered the city, the faces of those generals all became very ugly. They no longer have the capital to bargain with the Northern Army, and even without their help, the Northern Army will be able to control Yanjing City. It's just a little bit of trouble at most.

"Well, I accept the conditions proposed by the Northern Army." Lieutenant General Li Chun, the commander of the Sixth Town, said first.

After having the one to take the lead. The rest of the generals also expressed their acceptance of the conditions of the Northern Army. Surrender to the Northern Army. In fact, now they have no other way out than this method. If you continue to resist, the final result will be annihilation.

"Very good, then please go back and appease the troops and wait for the incorporation of the Northern Army." Liu Wenfan nodded.

Duan Qirui finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He also took a great risk in making the decision to surrender to the Northern Army. Fortunately, it has now succeeded.

Under the appeasement of the generals of the Beiyang Army, the vast majority of the Beiyang officers and soldiers in Yanjing City accepted the result that they had surrendered to the Northern Army. Only a very small number of people choose to resist. But they were all eventually wiped out by the Northern Army. By the afternoon, the gunfire in Yanjing City had completely stopped, and the entire Yanjing City was under the control of the Northern Army.

Wu Haoxuan, accompanied by Lieutenant General Shi Tianhan, entered Yanjing City from Guang'anmen. The other gates are also being cleaned. The generals of the Beiyang Army gathered at Guang'anmen at this moment and waited for Wu Haoxuan. Now that they have taken refuge in the Northern Army, they naturally hope to be familiar with Wu Haoxuan and leave a good impression.

"I've seen the young marshal!" Under the leadership of Duan Qirui, the generals of the Beiyang Army saluted Wu Haoxuan one after another.

"Everyone is exempt, from now on, everyone is brothers. The righteous deeds of the generals saved Yanjing City from the flames of war, which is beneficial to the country and the people. I am sure that you will never regret your choice today. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. Yanjing City can be preserved intact, which makes him very satisfied.

"The young marshal has won the award, as it should be." Duan Qirui hurriedly said.

Subsequently, Wu Haoxuan went to the General Staff of the Beiyang Army. However, it has now been requisitioned by the Northern Army as the former enemy headquarters of the Northern Army. The officers who came in and out were the officers of the Northern Army, and the officers of the original Beiyang Army were put under guard and waiting for the Northern Army to be absorbed. If you are willing to continue to serve in the army, you need to go to the army school of the Northern Army for further study.

"Do it, General Duan. I don't know if General Duan has already thought about whether he will join the army or politics in the future? My previous promise has always been valid, and if General Duan is willing to join the army, the position of deputy chief of general staff of the army will be General Duan's in the future. If General Duan is willing to enter politics, when the cabinet is formed, the position of cabinet minister is also General Duan's. Wu Haoxuan said.

Duan Qirui hesitated, whether it was the deputy chief of staff of the army or the cabinet minister, they were undoubtedly high-powered. For a general, if there is such a placement, it is already very good. However, Duan Qirui was a little difficult to choose. He has been in the army for the first half of his life, and he is not very familiar with the work of the government affairs system.

"Young marshal, I really don't know how to choose, why don't you choose it for me." Duan Qirui said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, he knew what Duan Qirui meant.

"Well, after the establishment of the Cabinet, General Duan became the Minister of the Interior, in charge of public security and police throughout the country, and maintained stability in the country. The management of the police is almost semi-militarized. In this way, General Duan will not feel rusty. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Home Secretary?" Duan Qirui was stunned, in the cabinet, the Minister of the Interior is undoubtedly a very important position. Especially the police who manage the whole country, this is undoubtedly a real high power! Originally, he thought that Wu Haoxuan would casually arrange an inconsequential position for him, but he didn't expect that he would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Wu Haoxuan obviously attaches great importance to him, a general.

"Since the young marshal values me Duan Qirui so much, please rest assured, if I can't maintain the stability of the country, I won't have the face to continue to stay in that position, I will take the initiative to resign." Duan Qirui said firmly.

"Okay, I'm sure General Duan will do a good job." Wu Haoxuan nodded, he believed in Duan Qirui's ability and personality very much.

"Young marshal, there is one more thing, I need the help of the young marshal. The families of our generals who surrendered to Cheng all evacuated Yanjing City with Yuan Datou and went to Jinling. Once the news of our defection spreads, I am afraid that he will be detrimental to our family. Duan Qirui said.

This is also the reason why the generals of the Beiyang Army hesitated before. When Yuan Datou left Yanjing City, he took their families with him. This is tantamount to holding hostages, and these generals can't afford not to sell their lives!

"Well, I'll send someone to talk to Yuan Datou about this. Please believe that I will do my best to help you save your family. Wu Haoxuan said solemnly.

"Young Marshal Xie." Duan Qirui nodded. He knew that Wu Haoxuan would do his best. If even if he didn't succeed, then he couldn't blame Wu Haoxuan, he could only blame Yuan Datou for being too vicious.

The news that the more than 100,000 Beiyang troops guarding Yanjing City surrendered to Cheng, and the northern soldiers took Yanjing City bloodlessly, and it soon spread. At this time, Yuan Datou had just arrived in Kaifeng. After receiving the news, Yuan Datou was furious.

"Traitors, all damned traitors. It is so deceitful for me to trust them so much, and yet they treat me like this. Come on, I will arrest all the families of those rebel generals, push them out and behead them, to set an example! Yuan Datou roared angrily.

The ministers of Beiyang bowed their heads one by one and did not say a word. Although they wanted to save the families of those generals, they did not dare to touch Yuan Datou's brows at this time, lest it backfire.

"Your Majesty, they betrayed Beiyang, and of course their sins are unforgivable. However, please think twice. Last night, someone put a letter on the minister's desk. The above content was written by the Northern Army to the ministers. The Northern Army claimed that if we executed the families of those generals who surrendered, all of His Majesty's relatives would be executed on the day the Northern Army went south, even if they fled overseas. If we can spare the families of those generals who surrendered, they will treat our families in the same way. Prime Minister Xu Shichang said.

"What?" Yuan Datou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This is undoubtedly a threat from the Northern Army to him, which makes him very angry. He wanted to order the execution of the families of the rebels at all costs, but he had to consider the consequences of doing so. (To be continued......)
