Cao Kun guessed correctly, the Wehrmacht had indeed entered Beijing, Zhao Zengfu carefully prepared, after the Qilin Corps crossed the Great Wall with the three-way army, he immediately entered the Seventh Division of the Jiang Dengxuan Army stationed in Chahar without hindrance, and even took the Beijing-Sui Railway train overnight and rushed directly to the city of Beijing, and it only took one day, which was half the time planned by the General Staff of the Wehrmacht.

On July 2, the ninth year of the Republic of China, at the Xizhimen Railway Station in Beijing, a train stopped, and suddenly there were bursts of shouts with a northeast accent from inside, and a group of soldiers wearing black helmets jumped off the train and quickly occupied the railway station. Because of the Great War in Anhui, the citizens of Beijing were already very frightened, and they were even more afraid when they saw the rows of black. But when they heard the big scalp shoes knocking on the ground, the people trembled. The consuls of various countries are also suddenly a little unable to follow the shape, doesn't it mean that the direct line defeated the Anhui line? Why has Beijing changed its owner again?

Jiang Deng, the commander of the Seventh Division, chose the train, suddenly laughed, and shouted in a rare outburst: "Grandma is a bear, the old man finally came to Beijing with the soldiers, and the old man has entered Beijing." ”

You Shuqun, chief of staff of the division, wiped his sweat and complained: "Why is it that Chahar is not far from Beijing, and it can roast people to death here." ”

Jiang Dengxuan said with a smile: "Lao You doesn't know, this place in Beijing is surrounded by mountains, low in the middle and high on all sides, and the hot wind can't blow out, what kind of place do you want Zhang Heng to be, that is Zhangjiakou, it is the place to go to the west exit, it is windy all year round, how can it be compared here." ”

You Shuqun smiled slightly and said, "Master, where is the control now?" ”

"Nanyuan Airport." Jiang Deng chosen. "First control Nanyuan Airport, and then give an order to Huo Bin. Let his 9th Brigade disarm the Gyeonggi garrison at the same time, and Lu Yonggui's 20th Brigade will enter the city and take control of the city of Beijing, and any ruffians and hooligans who take the opportunity to loot will be shot on the spot without asking for instructions. The adjutant hurriedly gave the order, and Jiang Dengxuan suddenly laughed and said: "Lao You, guess what, I want to enter the Forbidden City since I was a child, what kind of home does the emperor live in." What is the emperor eating, are the emperor's wives like flowers and jade, and when the situation stabilizes in the past two days, let's go to the palace to take a look? ”

"Okay, I'm in it." You Shuqun laughed, and a group of staff officers behind him also laughed, and one of the staff officers said: "That's where the emperor is stationed." I never dreamed that I would be able to go to the palace before, but the master has to take us with him. ”

Jiang Deng waved and said proudly: "Okay, bring it, bring it." ”

After the Seventh Division entered Beijing, it quickly and effectively controlled Beijing, and Wang Huaiqing, the commander of the Beijing garrison, was still ready to play the veteran card, but he encountered the national defense army. Wang Maoru's Wehrmacht has long been excluded from the mainstream of the Beiyang system. Even many people don't think that they are the army of the Republic of China, and once thought that they were the "alien" army. After all, since ancient times, the territory north of the Great Wall in China has been all alien, including the Xiongnu, Mongolia, and Xianbei in ancient times. Khitan, Jin people, and so on. There has never been a Han person who said that a large army was erected north of the Great Wall, and Wang Maoru is the only one of the scorpions in the past thousand years.

The second Qilin Legion to arrive in Beijing was Xu Zhengyi's 14th Division, Xu Zhengyi was promoted from Wang Maoru's way of balance, Xu Zhengyi was born in the green forest, belongs to the green forest system of the national defense army, Gai Tianjiu is already in his fifties, Wang Maoru was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the national defense force is only glorious, but there is no actual power, in order to appease the green forest system, Wang Maoru will definitely promote a green forest brigade commander to be the division commander. And the rising star of the green forest system, or the only one who meets the standard, is Xu Zhengyi, nicknamed Little White Dragon. This is also due to Xu Zhengyi, who was born in a regular military academy before he entered the grass and became a coward, and was forced to fall into the grass and become a coward, and after defecting to Gaitian for a long time, he was quickly reused in Wang Maoru's underground. Because he had studied in the lecture martial arts, although he himself was infected with banditry, he was not really a bandit, otherwise he would not have been able to become a brigade commander.

Xu Zhengyi knew that he was promoted because Wang Maoru appeased Gai Tianjiu, so many people were not convinced, the commander of the 52 brigades of the National Defense Force, which one is not a hero and which one is not a talent, who can be convinced just that he was promoted to the commander of the division. Therefore, Xu Zhengyi especially wants to show Xiàn, although the road from Rehe to Beijing is shorter than Zhang Heng to Beijing, but Zhang Heng has a train to Beijing, and there is no train from Rehe Chengde to Beijing, and there are mountains and mountains along the way, even so, Xu Zhengyi's department is only two days slower than Jiang Dengxuan's department.

In these two days, the Anhui army was defeated, Xu Shuzheng led his army to flee back to Tianjin, and once the troops were counted, there were only a few thousand people left in the tens of thousands of troops, but it was really a mess. At this time, news came from Beijing that Wang Maoru, in order to prevent the war between the two sides and maintain national peace, specially sent 72,000 soldiers of the newly formed Qilin Army out of the Great Wall, occupied Beijing for a day and night, and put the central government under house arrest

There are officials, and military control is practiced in Beijing. Nowadays, the streets of Beijing are full of black uniforms of the National Defense Army.

On 2 July, the First Division of the Beiyang Army, which had never had any political tendencies stationed at the Fengtai Barracks in Beijing, announced that it had accepted the restructuring of the National Defense Force and announced that it would join the National Defense Force. Division Commander Cai Chengxun said in an interview with reporters: "The early reunification of the country is what our soldiers hope for at an early date. ”

Wang Maoru was also surprised, and said in his heart What's wrong, why is Cai Chengxun's first division so ...... Uncanny.

In fact, the First Division of the Beiyang Army has always been a pure army without political character, and only obeys the orders of the central government, no matter who the central government is. It does not belong to the Anhui or direct line, because the predecessor of the first division of the army was the first town of the Beiyang Army, and the first town of the Beiyang Army was also known as the Great Qing Guards, and all the soldiers of the division were either banner people or Han army banner people or Han people living outside the Guanxi or Han people living in Beijing and Tianjin. And the army formed by these people was originally intended to be loyal to the Qing Emperor. The reason why the Beiyang First Division has always had no political character and is only loyal to the central government is also because of the preferential treatment of the central government to the imperial family, so that these people who cherish the previous dynasty have not sprouted dissatisfaction.

And after Duan Qirui tried to win over several times in vain, he stopped trying to win over, the first division was all veterans, let them defend okay, let them attack, and hide faster than rabbits one by one. Cai Chengxun, the commander of the First Division, knew what virtues his soldiers had, and he never did anything about fighting, that is, when Yuan Shikai was alive, he had conquered the Southern Revolutionary Army, and then he was beaten back by the Southern Revolutionary Army, and he could be called the enemy's logistics captain. Yuan Shikai to the first division combat effectiveness is so good, it is happy and depressed, happy that these banner people are indeed not good at fighting, do not be afraid that the flag people will rebel, depressed is that the first division is not good at fighting, how do you use these people? When He Zonglian served as the commander of the first division, because the central government did not treat the tenth division very well, he deducted military expenses, which caused the first division to make trouble, and He Zonglian was implicated, which made Cai Chengxun the division commander.

Later, no matter who was the president, they all put the First Division aside, and although the First Division was the first unit of the Republic of China, the result was like a wild child, and no one paid attention to it, and it was a Beijing police force. And this police force, on weekdays, only pays for everything, and always makes trouble. Therefore, the 1st Beiyang Division telegraphed to support peace, but it surprised everyone, and at the same time thought of the glorious "tradition" of the 1st Division, and said in his heart, Isn't Wang Maoru good at managing troops? What do you do with the First Division?

Wang Maoru immediately ordered the first division to be welcomed into the national defense force change plan, and ordered the first division of the Beiyang Army to be reorganized into the 19th Division of the National Defense Army, the first brigade of Beiyang was changed to the 50th Brigade of the National Defense Army, and the second brigade of Beiyang was changed to the 5th Brigade of the National Defense Army, and at the same time the defeated troops of the Anhui system were collected to form the 54 brigade, and Cai Chengxun was appointed as the commander of the lieutenant general division of the 19th division of the national defense army, Feng Shaomin was appointed as the commander of the 50 brigade, Deng Ruzhuo was appointed as the commander of the 5th brigade, and Zhang Zongchang, who had just taken refuge, was appointed as the commander of the 54 brigade. The First Division of Beiyang originally had only 14,000 men and two brigades, but now it has become a regular army with 23,000 people in one leap of the National Defense Force.

Rewarding Cai Chengxun and entrusting him with a heavy responsibility is the role of a thousand dollars to buy a horse's bones, and Cai Chengxun is the first example of a government army defecting to the National Defense Force, but it is by no means the last.

Zhang Zongchang became the brigade commander of the National Defense Force, which really surprised many people, what can this dog meat general do? But then Zhang Zongchang also showed his hand, because he was an old man from the Anhui system, and he took the 54th Brigade all the way to be recruited, and more than 20,000 people were recruited, and the scale of one brigade was larger than the entire army division.

After Duan Qirui and others learned of the defeat, they took the train back to Beijing City, only to learn that Beijing City had been controlled by the National Defense Army, and Duan Qirui's team was also stopped at the Beijing Railway Station. Duan Qirui was too late to leave, so he had to be trapped at the train station, and the boss was embarrassed. Zhao Zengfu, the commander of the Qilin Legion, learned that Duan Qirui and others were at the train station, and immediately rushed to the train station to greet Duan Qirui.

"Duke, Duke, I'm sorry, these soldiers are blind, they collided with your old driver, I turned around and scolded them, scolded them to death." Zhao Zengfu said with a Maitreya Buddha-like smile.

Duan Qirui didn't feel good in his heart, and said in his heart What kind of thing is this, he was fighting with the direct army, but let the national defense force occupy Beijing. He sighed slightly in his heart, with a wry smile on his face, and nodded, he didn't know Zhao Zengfu, how did he know that this young man in his thirties was the commander of the legion.

However, Zhang Kuian, who came with Zhao Zengfu on the side, smiled and said, "Dugong, we meet again." ”
