Chapter 48: The Prancing Horse in the Central Plains (4)

"In a country, everything depends on the faces of outsiders, and the head of state may not be easy to be. ()"Jiang Fangzhen is determined to be in the military circles, and he is really ordinary about political affairs. This person is very interesting, he has outstanding military talent, and he has never stood in line correctly in politics. In history, a reporter named Tao Juyin said: Jiang Baili defeated Japan three times in his life. There is exaggeration, and it does show that this person's military strategy has a vision beyond the times. Probably because it is too ahead of the times, so I always can't see it clearly in politics, and it is more due to personal emotional factors that I am standing in line.

"The affairs of the world have been broken and crushed, nothing more than two words, interests! The one who drifts on the sea, the one in Wuchang, and the one in Beijing, isn't it just fame and fortune? Everyone has an ambition, and Durima is the only one! Hmph, as everyone knows, this era is about strength. Yuan is so heavy that he holds the strongest soldier today, can he give up the big position? Li Yuanhong was busy for a long time, and he was afraid that he would also make wedding clothes for her. As for the one floating on the sea, he likes to engage in double standards the most, treating others strictly and leniency with himself. You wait and see, the president of the provisional government will definitely be his, and when the time comes, it will definitely be the presidential responsibility system. When he can't be the president anymore, he will pretend to give it to Yuan Shikai, and he will definitely have to engage in some cabinet system. Fang Jianxiong complained, in fact, the Kuomintang people have a bit of the poison of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty. has inherited a lot of fine traditions, and likes to use the tools of public opinion in his hands to stink others at every turn. When they come to power and become power, they are not like birds?

Dictatorship by others is reactionary, but dictatorship by oneself is the will of the people.

The atmosphere in Beijing is becoming more and more depressing. The atmosphere in Yuan's mansion was even more so. Hanyang fought for a few days, and most of the place was taken back. Especially Li Chun's Eleventh Mixed Association, which can be regarded as completely abolished. The morale of the army is low, and the scenery is like a broken arm. Call to request a penalty!

The call attached a detailed account of the battle with the Anhui Green Army, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Feng Guozhang listed several reasons for the failure as nothing more than the equipment gap, and repeatedly emphasized that the Anhui army was well-equipped, and the soldiers were not under the Beiyang. In particular, the process of fighting bayonets was mentioned. Said: Fang Jianxiong is a talented man in both civil and military affairs, and he is afraid that he will be a strong enemy in Beiyang in the future, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible.

The implication. Feng Guozhang still wanted to continue fighting, but he was embarrassed to ask for reinforcements.

Yuan Shikai casually handed the telegram to Duan Qirui, and didn't ask what he meant. Duan Qirui read the telegram. said solemnly: "What Hua Fu said, I think that I should pay attention to it. ”

Yuan Shikai touched his clean forehead, sneered and said: "I'm afraid that I will be a strong rival in Beiyang in the future, don't do it in the future, right now." Ni Sichong called and said that Fang Jianxiong personally led the army to Huainan, Jiang Gui took the arms and silver, stopped in Bengbu to watch the excitement, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and planned to pick up the cheap. Jiang Gui called and said. Most of its troops are horse teams, which are not conducive to frontal combat. When the thieves Fang Clan's troops were stationed in Fuyang Jiancheng, it was the best policy to attack it on the flank, and Ni Sichong was asked to take care of it. ”

Yuan Shikai relied on Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, and Duan Qirui militarily. These three people are known as the three heroes of Beiyang, and some people jokingly call them dragons and tigers. Now Wang Shizhen is sick. Feng Guozhang is on the front line in Wuhan, and Duan Qirui's words still carry a lot of weight.

"Cao Kun's third town has arrived in Tianjin, so it's better to ......." Duan Qirui said carefully, and Yuan Shikai immediately shook his head and said, "No, Shanxi must be taken first." Ni Sichong, Jiang Guidi, and Zhang Xun also have more than 20,000 people combined, let them take it first. It's also good to take a look at Fang Jianxiong's condition. I don't believe it, it only takes a few days to conjure up tens of thousands of strong soldiers. ”

Duan Qirui's face changed slightly, and he reacted quickly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is wise!" Duan Qirui, who is known as wise, was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's judgment in his heart, and said in his heart just now that others are sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, can't you be doing this? As for Zhang Xun, it was in Nanjing City that he ate Fang Jianxiong's powerful waste. Ni Sichong and Jiang Gui are not necessarily better than Zhang Xun. If you don't hit Fang Jianxiong in time now, won't you be the one who will suffer in the future?

Thinking so, Duan Qirui won't say this, Yuan Shikai has always disliked them to show off their own will, and Duan Qirui understands the truth of loyalty and disobedience too well, otherwise he would not be afraid of this. However, in the future, Duan Qirui will grow in wings and disagree with Yuan, so it will be another matter.

Out of Yuan's mansion, a heroic young man came over, and when he saw Duan Qirui, he asked, "What did the Prime Minister say?" ”

Duan Qirui said what he meant, and the young man suddenly became anxious: "Isn't this raising tigers for trouble?" Why don't you persuade adults? ”

"Again, Gong Bao's habits, you don't know it. I said it had to be useful. Duan Qirui came to such an explanation for Xu Shuzheng, who had the word "and Zheng", Xu Shuzheng was deeply trusted by Duan Qirui, and he did not shy away from speaking.

"Fang Jianxiong will eventually become a big disaster, and the one who will die in the future will be this person."

Duan Qirui listened to it and said curiously: "You Zheng thinks so highly of this person? "Xu Shuzheng has always been very arrogant when he is a young man. When it comes to the military, there is always nothing left to spare, and even Duan Qirui is not a problem. But Duan Qirui ate his set and felt that this was a talent.

"My lord, Fang Jianxiong swept the Shanghai-Nanjing line, why don't you take it and take Zhejiang and Jiangxi instead? Could it be that my Beiyang Army is inferior to those local armies? In case of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these rich places were not taken, Henan was a poor place, but he went instead. Could it be that he is really hanging the people for their crimes? I don't care what others do, I don't believe it. Xu Shuzheng's words, Duan Qirui listened to it, frowned and muttered: "In this way, this person is also determined to be in the world." It's a pity that Gong Bao has made up his mind, and his thoughts are all in the palace. ”

Xu Shuzheng sneered: "Promote peace with war!" Take the world lightly! I don't think it will be as good as I want! Those people in the Kuomintang are not to be afraid, Fang Jianxiong, it is not so easy to dismiss! ”

If Fang Jianxiong heard this, he would probably be able to grit his teeth and say, "This person knows too much, we must get rid of him as soon as possible." ”

Xu Shuzheng reluctantly went to shoot a telegram, urging Ni Sichong and Jiang Gui to start a war with Fang Jianxiong. Yuan Shikai came here with a beautiful man, and he was accompanied by Yuan Keding.

"Zhaoming is here, sit down! Look at the tea! Yuan Shikai greeted this one very politely, to say that this one is indeed an out-and-out beautiful man, and his appearance is absolutely top-notch. belongs to the kind of appearance that a man will be jealous of when he sees him, with an elegant temperament and a calm complexion.

"Your Excellency is polite, Jingwei should not be valued so much by your adult." This number one traitor in history has not yet had the opportunity to engage in the promising profession of a traitor. In history, as a loser in the power struggle, he actually chose to be a traitor for the sake of power, which shows this person's ambition. In any case, he refused to be subordinate. But ambition is sometimes not quite proportional to ability. The one in front of him is still the rising star of the Kuomintang and the most popular personable revolutionary today.

Wang Jingwei wanted to stab Zaichun, but he didn't succeed and was arrested and put in prison. He also wrote a poem Mingzhi. There are two sentences in it, which are widely circulated: "Lead the knife into a piece, and live up to the head of the youth." ”

This will make you say that he is a traitor, and it is estimated that everyone can smack you in the face.

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Zhaoming doesn't have to be restrained, you and Keding have already made a bow, you might as well call your uncle." ”

In Fuyang, Ni Sichong received a telegram from Beijing, but instead of taking the initiative, he also said to his son Ni Youdan: "Hurry up, we must all withdraw from Fuyang today." ”

Ni Youdan was still unconvinced and said: "Just a Fang Jianxiong, you are old in the army, how can you be afraid of it?" ”

Ni Sichong said: "Zhang Xun, who is not afraid, is now hiding in Xuzhou to add wounds, and it is estimated that he will not be able to slow down in a year or two." ”

Ni Youdan said again: "Isn't there still a question about Jiang Gui?" Ni Sichong crooked his mouth, and said in a somewhat angry tone: "Jiang Gui should be smart, hurry up and withdraw to Xuzhou, maybe you can keep a little bit of your belongings." ”

"Why don't you set it on fire?" Ni Youdan had a bad idea, and was kicked out by Ni Sichong with a shadowless foot, and said angrily: "Get out!" "This Fang Jianxiong, it's too late to hide from him, and he also set fire to Fuyang, this beam is finished, and there will be a good one in the future? The Beiyang Army is powerful enough, right? Didn't he also suffer defeat in Wuhan, just that, it was only a mixed brigade that fought a record. You must know that in Wuhan, there are at least 30,000 Beiyang Army. If you really want to burn Fuyang with a fire, it will be a situation that will never die. It is estimated that Fang Jianxiong can chase and kill to the ends of the earth, and maybe he will also harm his descendants.

Leng Yu hurried with the spy group, and it was still too late to arrive in Fuyang. The gates were open, and there was chaos inside.

The streets were a mess and littered with stuff. From time to time, there are still crying voices from people's homes, and Leng Yu stands on the street watching this scene, and he can't help but feel angry and his teeth hurt. Ni Sichong didn't set fire to Fuyang, but his soldiers caused a lot of harm to Fuyang.

"Sue sù Xiantoulian, chase me! Send a report to the big handsome! After Leng Yu ordered, he didn't care about Fuyang City, and took his spy group to chase and kill. In order to catch up with Ni Sichong, Fang Jianxiong allocated a lot of livestock to Leng Yu and sent ten cars.

It has been two hours since he left Fuyang, and Ni Sichong felt more and more uneasy on the horse, and turned back frequently. The team in front of him was chaotic, there was no formation of the soldiers, everyone was carrying the property looted from Fuyang, some were wearing robbed coats, some were leading livestock, and the guns were all crooked.

Ni Sichong was even more worried, so he stopped and called his own soldiers and said, "You go and inform the eldest prince and let him move faster, I always feel that something is wrong." Thinking about it, Ni Sichong was still not at ease, so he called a battalion officer under his command and asked him to lead people to set up an ambush in the village in front.

The cold rain gathered the cars, installed the vanguard company, and let them chase in front. He led the brigade and then followed.

Fang Jianxiong received Leng Yu's telegram, and said to Jiang Fangzhen with some concern: "Is Leng Yu a little reckless?" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
