Chapter 52: The Prancing Horse in the Central Plains (8)
Jiang Fangzhen came back soon, because of Leng Yu, this kid, once again came up with new tricks. The caller replied: "I want to lead the department to go straight to the head of the realm, and use the power of total annihilation." β
Jiang Fangzhen waited for Fang Jianxiong to read the telegram and said with a smile: "The officers below, the enthusiasm for fighting is very high." β
Fang Jianxiong pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that I have a problem with the use of the secret service group, and Leng Yu reminded me. A unit like the secret service regiment is useless to fight the striker. called back, agreed to Leng Yu's plan, and ordered him to rush to the head of the realm before six o'clock tomorrow morning to block Ni Sichong's escape. With another order, Li Qianyu's troops set off immediately, and launched an attack on Ni Sichong's troops before dawn tomorrow morning. Fang Jianxiong's series of orders came from the confidence he had made.
War is sometimes not just as simple as equipment, although the Anhui Army was formed late, there are not many veterans. However, the soldiers are strictly trained, have a high social status, and are well treated, and have a strong sense of belonging to the Anhui Revolutionary Army. These are not comparable to the Qing army, there are no worries when fighting, and the soldiers dare to fight hard.
Fang Jianxiong may not understand some truths, but he copied some of the later military practices, such as enhancing the honor and social status of soldiers, which had an effect that he himself did not expect.
Jiang Fangzhen did not leave immediately, but let Duan Feng go, leaving the other party Jianxiong and said, "This is a telegram from Li Xiaochuan, for you." β
Fang Jianxiong took it and looked at it, and after a moment's pause, he showed a contemplative expression. Jiang Fangzhen saw his demeanor, and his face showed worry. It seems inappropriate for a serving officer to do this with someone from the Intelligence Service. Jiang Fangzhen is a gentleman. didn't cover it up, and he wasn't in a hurry to intercede, waiting for Fang Jianxiong to make his own decision.
"You can agree to Li Xiaochuan's request, by the way, call Anqing and let Li Muyan and Zheng Quan come over." After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, Jiang Fangzhen didn't quite understand what he meant. This one is a bit crooked.
"Nothing's wrong, is it?" Jiang Fangzhen was a little worried, and Fang Jianxiong hurriedly explained: "Brother Baili misunderstood, I just thought of something else. It has nothing to do with Brother Ogawa. In fact, I would like to thank Brother Xiaochuan for discovering a talent who led the troops. The Anhui Revolutionary Army has great requirements for senior commanders. At this stage, the mainstream in China is non-commissioned officers and students studying in Japan. When these people come back from Japan, they know better than me how much they can learn. However, Li Xiaochuan has a unique vision and excavated a high ascension. I have always believed that there are some people who are born to be materials for fighting, and probably Gao Sheng is such a person, who did not show much of his special appearance in the teaching team, and when he arrived on the battlefield, his sensitivity and ability to grasp the battle situation came out. β
With such an explanation, Jiang Fangzhen was a little surprised. I feel that Fang Jianxiong is good at introspection. Just think so far for such a thing? In fact, Jiang Fangzhen misunderstood, Fang Jianxiong thought of the Military Intelligence Department. At present, it is just such a department engaged in intelligence, and the political, economic, and military intelligence are mixed together. There is no checks and balances at all, and it is not a good thing in the long run. The reason why Zheng Quan and Li Muyan were both called, Fang Jianxiong had other ideas.
As for the thing of fighting, it really takes talent. Fang Jianxiong has enough self-knowledge, so he rarely engages in arbitrariness such as Yiyan in military command. Leng Yu adjusted his tactics according to the actual situation. Fang Jianxiong supported this move. After all, when it comes to tactics, Fang Jianxiong will make one move and reduce ten times with one force. Lao Tzu doesn't play tricks with you, Lao Tzu crushes you with machine guns and cannons.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese tactics were the same, and they were still defeated. In the same way, the Japanese army can only be passively beaten in the face of the US military, and the root cause of this is that the role of modern war strategy has been greatly reduced. But having said that, it can't be said that strategy is useless, and actions such as cold rain and high ascension are worth advocating. Now the Anhui army is equipped with radios, otherwise how can you ask for instructions? Dozens of kilometers back and forth, waiting for the daylily to be cold. Therefore, Fang Jianxiong attaches great importance to communication, which is what it means.
No matter how good the soldiers and equipment are, they also need good generals to carry them out. Regarding Li Xiaochuan's discovery of such a general as Gao Sheng on the battlefield, Fang Jianxiong can be said to be optimistic. Gao Sheng's current position is the deputy director of the intelligence department, and he can personally go to Bengbu to investigate intelligence, which shows this person's style of doing things. Taking over the post of brigade commander is really nothing in the young Anhui Revolutionary Army.
Probably because of the hardships, coupled with the arrival of reinforcements from the Anhui Army to Hanyang, the Anhui Army, which has two divisions and 30,000 people, is no longer so easy to remember as the Beiyang Army. Feng Guozhang stopped attacking, and Hanyang regained a brief calm.
The victory of the Anhui army in Hanyang triggered a wave of military enlistment. There are a lot of students among them, all over the country. Gui Danqi took these students and sent them to Wuhu to take an exam and then study in the preparatory class of the military school. Although the military academy has not yet been officially put into teaching, these student soldiers still wear the unique military uniforms of the Anhui army, which look very handsome compared to the military uniforms of other places and are very popular with young people. Some young students are actually handsome in military uniforms because the reason for joining the army is to be handsome.
According to Fang Jianxiong's instructions, Gui Danqi was in Hanyang and only accepted these student soldiers. There was no other action, but the expansion of the Hubei military government continued.
After a few days of busyness, the Anhui army took over the Hanyang battlefield in an all-round way, this is what Fang Jianxiong meant, if you want my soldiers to fight, you can't let others command blindly. Li Yuanhong did not have the slightest room for resistance to this request, if it were not for the outstanding performance of the Anhui Army, the artillery of the Beiyang Army would have been erected on top of Guishan and bombarded Wuchang.
Standing in front of the window of the Governor's Mansion, Li Yuanhong, who was looking at Guishan from afar, had a complicated mood, on the one hand, he needed the help of the Anhui army to withstand the Beiyang army, and on the other hand, he was more worried that the Anhui army would stay in Hanyang in the future. The importance of the Hanyang plant to the Hubei military government cannot be overstated.
The combat effectiveness of the Anhui army is actually not what Li Yuanhong is most worried about. What disturbed him the most was the outrageous military discipline of the Anhui army. I don't know how this Fang Jianxiong trained as a soldier, and the 30,000 people didn't have any problems at all. This made Li Yuanhong, who had been sending people to keep an eye on the Anhui army, hoping to find a little fault and make a fuss, and to buy the foreshadowing for the Anhui army to leave in the future.
Before this, Li Yuanhong had never felt that Fang Jianxiong was too much of a threat, but now that he saw the combat effectiveness of the Anhui army, Li Yuanhong clearly realized that maybe another Yuan Shikai appeared.
Fortunately, it is not me Li who should have a headache for Fang Jianxiong now, but the Yuan master in Beijing. Fang Jianxiong waved his army north, and he fought Yuan Shikai's people. I don't know what this Fang Jianxiong thinks, I don't want to put the Shanghai-Nanjing line in the flower world, I have to pick the hard bone of Beiyang to gnaw.
Li also has a headache, that is, the Governor's Representative Conference in Shanghai came up with a generalissimo's statement, which is somewhat of a takeaway for Li Yuanhong. What kind of thing is Huang Xing? How can someone be subservient to him? Therefore, Li Yuanhong made some reactions, saying that this deputy marshal lacked moral integrity and did not dare to accept it.
Li Yuanhong calculated Huang Xing's character, and when the news went out, Huang Xing would definitely back down. In Li Yuanhong's opinion, Huang Xing is not a smart person, and he is even a little stunned. He was extremely naΓ―ve politically, and he was like that militarily, if he hadn't wanted to use his fame to bring in reinforcements, why would he have served as the commander-in-chief. As a result, after the two battles of Hankou and Hanyang, Huang Xing couldn't stay anymore.
In the battle of the government, Li Yuanhong basically has no hope of winning, and compared to Sun, Li Yuanhong's reputation is still a little worse. Li Yuanhong didn't expect Sun to have the same personality as Huang Xing, and as soon as he squeezed a few words, he took the initiative to let Xian. It is estimated that the lord is also a worthy person, and when he didn't see people still in Europe, he had already begun to jump up and down.
Compared with Fang Jianxiong, who is more threatening, it is estimated that Yuan Shikai knows best. In terms of strength, that is, Yuan Shikai, who has mastered the huge resources of Beiyang, is the most powerful, and this Fang Jianxiong emerged too quickly, I am afraid that the foundation is not stable.
Yesterday, the British consul Graham came forward to mediate, and the Beiyang side expressed its willingness to take the initiative to truce the war for a few days. Li Yuanhong welcomed this, but whether to continue fighting now, you have to ask another person, who is currently at the forefront of the fight against Beiyang, but it is his troops. This person is undoubtedly Fang Jianxiong.
In any case, Li Yuanhong's attitude is quite clear, and it is best to be able to negotiate peace. If you want to continue fighting, the Beiyang Army is still very strong. I don't know what Fang Jianxiong thinks, Anqing's call back has not arrived for a long time.
Li Yuanhong in the twilight, reluctantly watched the last touch of the sunset disappear, and waited for Fang Jianxiong's call back with complicated feelings, this kind of status quo that cannot decide his fate by himself really makes him uncomfortable. One is that on the Shanghai side, the battle for the dominance of the provisional government is basically certain, and the other is that the matter of peace talks has to be decided by Fang Jianxiong.
The footsteps dragged Li Yuanhong back from his reverie, and it was Yang Yulong, secretary general of the Governor's Mansion, who came in, with a telegram in his hand and reported: "Governor, Anqing called back, Commander Fang is on the front line in Fuyang, and he has been telegraphed to inform him, to be restored!" "The payment is made by the Anhui Provincial People's Government and Governor Sun Yuyun.
looked at the payment that was completely different from other provinces, which made Li Yuanhong a little puzzled. What does this Fang Jianxiong think? If you have to make a new name, everyone else is the governor, and he came to the Anhui Provincial People's Government.
As everyone knows, Fang Jianxiong has always felt that the so-called governor is the beginning of Wufu's reign. It is the origin of the separatist situation!
Fang Jianxiong, who was bent on national unity, how could he accept such a thing? From the beginning, he had to be on the right path, and as for what was right, Fang Jianxiong didn't know very well. Fortunately, there is a template that can be copied, and as long as the people's government is elected in the true sense, what it is called is secondary. The key is the content, no matter how good the name is, if the content is not good, it is scum. ()
