178 Fisherman's Profit1
If personnel continue to be sent to Qingdao, then the Japanese navy will not have much chance to be left with one of the two battleships in China and the three most powerful cruisers in China, "Haiqi", "Haichen", and "Zhaohe". Therefore, all foreign forces, including the Japanese, remained silent and waited to see the development of the situation.
Zhao Yun wanted to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman in the Zhifeng War, but no one necessarily came to snatch the fruits of victory.
Time flies, soon it will be July 1st, yesterday Wu Peifu's army has all left Qinhuangdao and set foot on the boundary of Shandong, before everyone got the news that Wu Peifu will go south, so many people think that Wu Peifu will take a boat all the way south, to Shanghai and then get off the ship.
It's a pity that many smart people guessed wrong, such as Qi Overseer. As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters from others. Wu Peifu actually relied on Zhao Yun's "support" to escape from the joint attack of Timur and Zhang Huzi without losing a single soldier, for which Wu Peifu was deeply grateful, of course, if he knew that Zhao Yun was in the Mongolian army opposite him at the time, it would probably be a different scenario.
But now, after Wu Peifu landed in Qingdao, he immediately ordered the forward to march quickly, all the way to Jinan, and then went straight to Xuzhou while everyone didn't react.
Another surprise attack, which took only three days to crush the Qi Overseer's army. And Feng Yu, who was also stationed in Henan, originally planned to rescue the Qi Governors, but when he saw that Wu Peifu's forward was so fierce, he immediately turned around and returned to the station.
He was originally a "often defeated general", and he lost strong reinforcements, so the Qi Governor Army was naturally an old routine, and he was captured by Wu Peifu.
Seeing Wu Peifu go south, the "two kings" ignored themselves, and Timur, who was close to him, was busy recruiting the "Eight Banners Cavalry" in Jixian County to make up for the embarrassment of the lack of Mongolian population and inability to defend the vast area.
But everyone's busyness made Zhang Hu feel chaotic and had no clue.
"Ah, are these bastards ignoring my deposit?" Although Zhang Huzi was happy that no one came to find trouble, he who had always been in front of everyone and liked to be in the limelight, but he felt surprisingly angry at this "ignorance".
In fact, seeing such a battle situation, Zhang Huzi knew that he should negotiate peace.
Although the two families of Zhifeng are fighting and making trouble, fortunately, at this time, the master of the direct line is no longer Wu Peifu, who does not deal with him, but the "two kings" who have a good relationship. If the two armies confront each other for a long time, then not to mention the large amount of military spending, even people-to-people exchanges and trade will be affected. After all, Zhang Huzi didn't want to, now he will split the earth and become an independent country. Although this will be won, due to Wu Peifu's departure, there is no strength and preparation to march outside the border.
And the direct line is diverted, and Wu Peifu, who is the strongest, now has to concentrate on dealing with the Shandong Army, the Jiangsu Army and Feng Yu's Henan Army and opening up new territory.
In the far south, Sun Yat-sen had already assembled his troops and made a detour to Jiangxi for the Northern Expedition, and Zhejiang in the east also went west to launch an attack on Jiangxi.
For Sun Chuanfang, who was guarding Jiangxi, he couldn't withstand it alone, and the Sun and Lu families joined forces to attack, so Wu Peifu didn't care about turning around and stumbling with Zhang Huzi, and hurriedly prepared to go south, trying his best to connect his territory with Sun Chuanfang's territory.
Moreover, because at this time Japan was in the Far East and Lao Maozi was pinched, the three eastern provinces had already faintly become the sphere of influence of the Japanese, and a large number of Japanese military supplies were collected by the three eastern provinces, and the "two kings" who had become the actual leaders of the direct line were also worried that they would not be able to get the support of Britain and the United States behind them, for fear of causing Japanese interference, and when the time came, Japan would use peace talks with Lao Maozi as a threat, and Britain and the United States would not support their factions, but would cause trouble.
Therefore, out of serious considerations, the two sides announced an armistice under the mediation of the consuls of various countries, and agreed to take Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) as the boundary, and the Feng army withdrew to the outside of the pass, and the direct army withdrew to the original defense except for one part that remained in Yuguan.
The Mongol army recruited Manchurians who had lost their livelihood in the Jixian area, formed the "Eight Banners Cavalry" and set off for Hulunbuir to closely monitor the cross-border behavior of the Soviet Russians and strictly prevent the Soviet Russian forces from entering the territory of China.
As a result, the First Zhifeng War ended, the Feng army was defeated and Wu Peifu created another glory. However, Zhang Huzi's defeat only lost all the territory and soldiers and horses in the pass, and his foundation outside the pass was still very solid, and he was basically not fatally affected, but his defensive focus was all pulled to the south.
In July, the Fengzhi was defeated, Zhang Huzi retreated to Guanwai, and the provincial councils of Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang elected Zhang Zuolin as the commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces, Wang Yongjiang as the governor of Fengtian, Kui was promoted to the governor of Jilin, and Shi Jichang was the governor of Heilongjiang. Zhang Huzi officially declared the "inter-provincial autonomy" of the three eastern provinces, and nominally the three eastern provinces completely became Zhang Huzi's own world.
But in fact, Timur's cavalry went to Hulunbuir, which was equivalent to seizing Heilongjiang and Jilin, which were the three eastern provinces with fewer troops. Zhang Huzi's decree can only be passed in the territory of Mukden.
When the fighting in North China stopped, they all focused on one person.
"What the hell is that person in Jiangnan?"
This phrase pops out of the mouths of different people, and it has different meanings.
Let's talk about the Feng Department first, because he was beaten by the battleships of the direct line, Zhang Huzi, who has always been relatively wealthy economically, moved the idea of forming a navy, after all, if he hadn't made peace this time, I don't know how many good young people in the Northeast would have fallen into the roar of naval guns.
So, as soon as the war was armisted, a group of battleship experts in the Northeast Army set off for Jiangnan to prepare for the purchase of warships.
What? You said that the Japanese are also recommending warships to Zhang Huzi, and this one who can buy "domestic products" still doesn't need the intervention of Orientals, Zhang Huzi still has a spectrum in his heart, after all, it is the hard-earned money of our Chinese people, and it is still very distressing to give Zhang Huzi to others for nothing.
As for the next thing to worry about Zhao Yun, there are several bigwigs in the direct line. For Zhao Yun, a character who came out of nowhere, they had all heard of it before, but they never took it to heart, isn't it just an arms dealer!
However, in the Zhifeng War, whether it was battleships or other military supplies, the quality purchased from Zhao Yun was far better than those second-hand goods that were eliminated from Europe and the United States.
In addition, Zhao Yun also laid down the city of Nanjing, although this matter is very big, but in a very short period of time it was covered by a group of people in Jiangnan, and many people still don't know that Nanjing has changed hands.
As for the reason why Zhao Yun seized the city, Zhao Yun did not defend himself, and someone went to report the news. After all, the Qi Governor Army occupies the Jiangnan Flower World, and there are many people who are staring at it.
How did the Qi Overseers force Zhao Yun to pay taxes, how they wanted to embezzle Zhao Yun's family property, how did Zhao Yun resist, and how did the local officials deal with it, they were all stabbed in front of several bigwigs in their direct line.
Of course, everyone, including Wu Peifu, has only one word to describe Qi Dujun, shame.
You say that an Overseer embezzles someone else's property, of course it is possible to do such a thing, but is it necessary to do it so high-sounding that everyone knows it? Well, the most important problem is that you, a warlord, an overseer, were beaten by one of the opposing escorts for one night, and you lost the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
The direct bosses are already speechless about this, in this era, warlords rely on their fists, your fists are not hard, who is to blame? If it weren't for seeing that the Qi Inspector Army had pulled another army of more than 40,000 people in Jiangbei, if it weren't for the rush to deal with the Sun and Lu coalition forces now, the first thought of the direct family would be to resign from the post of the Qi Inspector.
But before they could make a move, Wu Peifu actually leveled the Qi Overseer Army for Zhao Yun, a kid. Although this time, Zhao Yun's actions were equivalent to rebellion, but because Zhao Yun was still cowering in that small county town in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not take the opportunity to respond to the Sun and Lu coalition forces, and appointed the direct veterans Zhu Xi and Zhou Luo to serve as the military leaders of Jiangning Town and Su Changzhen, which can be regarded as obeying the direct command on the surface. Although Zhu Xi and Zhou Luo, the two little shrimps, have never heard of the direct gang of bigwigs before, but after the investigation, it was found that these two people are really old people in the direct line, and they can be regarded as being well-established.
"Even if it's an example to the junior officers below!" Wu Peifu spoke, and the tone of the matter changed from Zhao Yun's expulsion of the Qi Governors to the misconduct of the Qi Inspectors and their dismissal.
In the past few years, it is not easy to be promoted within the direct family, Wu Peifu knows that he is the best example, this is not a wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it. If a large group of young generals come up, the attack on their own youth may be shared. Moreover, Zhou Luo is lame, and he has also paid for the great cause of his direct family, which can be used as an example to promote in the army.
After all, on the surface, the battle of Zhifeng was won, but there were also many more wounded and disabled people in the Zhifeng army, and if these personnel were not arranged well, it would cool people's hearts. How could the far-sighted Wu Peifu not think of these problems!
Now the target is the Sun and Lu coalition forces, solve them, and then the affairs of Jiangnan will be a piece of cake.
For Zhao Yun, safety is always the first priority, if it weren't for someone working hard, Zhao Yun would be too lazy to fight for power and profit, so Zhao Yun stayed away from the big trap of Nanjing at the first time and hid far away, but if he thought so, others would not be so kind to let him go.
Today, Deputy County Magistrate Xu was happy, pulling Zhao Yun to drink and chat, and drank until close to midnight, in Xu Fatzi's every way, Zhao Yun thought about his reputation, or burped, panting, and staggered on the road. Xu Fatzi also knew that the people living in the county government were all his own female dependents, and Zhao Yun's nest was a hedgehog, which was much safer than his own county office, and he was not keeping it at the moment, but he reminded him to be more vigilant again, and even personally went out to send Zhao Yun to the car.
