Ask for a monthly ticket in Hengyang, Hunan, the headquarters of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army.

The guards of the division headquarters lined up in four neat horizontal columns at the entrance of the division headquarters, blowing military trumpets, holding the five-color national flag of Beiyang, and all the guards soldiers stood quietly with rifles made in Gongxian on their shoulders. A major officer with a Western command knife walked up and down the front of the line.

The main gate of the division headquarters has been greatly opened, and a vote of Beiyang Army officers in neat uniforms, as well as local celebrities in Hengyang wearing long shirts and suits, are waiting in a crowd inside the gate. A banner was also hung at the entrance of the division, with a message welcoming the arrival of Mr. Mao ZD, the leader of the Chinese GCD!

It seems that the current Mr. Mao ZD is much more prosperous than the same period in history. Unexpectedly, Wu Peifu, the dignified commander of the Beiyang Army, was so solemn and greeted his arrival with great fanfare.

At this time, Master Wu did not wait at the entrance of his division, but condescended to his dignity and took several chief officers of the third division to the Xiangjiang wharf outside Hengyang City to greet him. Outside the division department, there were still ordinary people who watched the excitement, and they all pointed to the banner and made comments.

"Who is this Mao Zd? It sounds familiar, but you can't remember who it is? ”

"Hey, look at your memory, when you caught the party a while ago, isn't this Mao ZD on the list? Zhang Dujun is offering a reward of 500 oceans for him! ”

"Hehe, what's this called? Zhang Overseer in Changsha offered a reward to take him, and here in Hengyang, Division Commander Wu regarded him as a distinguished guest, aren't these Zhang Overseers and Division Commander Wu both from the Northern Army? ”

"This is to blame for the unfair rewards and punishments of Duan Qirui in Beijing. This time to fight in the southwest, Master Wu made great contributions. Hit Xiangyang, go to Changsha, and occupy Hengyang...... It's all the credit of this Master Wu! In terms of meritorious deeds, the Hunan Overseer should be given to him, even if he doesn't give an Overseer, at least he should give it to a provincial governor, right? However, Duan Qirui gave the overseer and the governor all to Zhang Jingyao. Can he Wu Peifu's heart be satisfied? I see, our Hunan may be in chaos again! ”

"Probably not, right? Didn't Sun Dacang say that he wanted 'inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification'. ”

"What kind of 'inter-provincial autonomy' is all an excuse, but it's just a warlord separation! As for 'peaceful reunification,' it's even more of a joke. These warlords are all divided into one side, how can they unify without using swords? Still peaceful? Hehe, I look like it's just a Spring and Autumn Warring States period! At that time, the Beijing government will be a son of Zhou. Here's a group of heroes competing for deer, and the world is in a mess......"

"I think it's the same, I heard that there is chaos in Guangdong now. Sun Artillery's troops were storming the Gui army, which was occupying western Guangdong, and had also sent warships to transport the French army to land on Hainan Island...... He doesn't want to engage in peaceful reunification in Guangdong, but still wants to peacefully reunify China? What a joke! ”

"Alas, you said that if Sun Cannon unifies the two Guangzhous, will it attack us Hunan next? I heard that Granny Tan has been in Guangzhou for the past two days. ”

"Probably not, right? This Granny Tan and Sun Cannon don't seem to be all the way, why did he help Granny Tan offend Beiyang. ”

"But what if Beiyang's soldiers in Hunan fight by themselves......"

"Beiyang fights Beiyang? Not really, right? ”

"It's hard to say, that Mao ZD came to Hengyang probably to provoke Master Wu to fight Zhang Dujun......"

What if the eyes of the people weren't all bright? Our revolutionary forerunner Sun Yat-sen, as well as the calculations of Chang Da revolutionaries. It seems that there is no way to hide it from the people here in Hunan.

In fact, it is these ordinary people who see through the conspiracy of the revolutionaries, and Wu Peifu, the talented division commander of the Third Division, is also transparent in his heart! But the problem is that he Wu Daxiucai's Third Division of the Beiyang Army. In these three months, I only got about 40% of my military salary! Thirty percent of them were sent by the War Department of the Beijing government, and one percent was sent by Cao Kun, the old governor of Zhili, who oversaw the army. It's just that Cao Kun's money is also tight, and Tianjin's commercial taxes were originally a copy of the Zhili Overseer's Office, but now they are all returned to the central government, and the management of the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway has become increasingly strict. The way to make a small fortune by pointing to the railroad is gone. I don't know how long Cao Kun's help can last?

After all, these Beiyang soldiers are mercenaries, and everyone is working for money. If there is no money, there is no morale, even if it is an elite like the Third Division, if there is no ocean of money to raise it, it will still not be able to fight a tough battle! If it's a free-range unit, forget it. It's a big deal to endure some hard days, at most eat some empty foreheads, and the days are a little harder, but they can always pass. However, the Third Division is on the front line and will go to the battlefield at any time to fight desperately.

For this reason, Wu Xiucai's telegram urging him flew like snowflakes to the War Department in Beijing's Tieshi Hutong, but there was no reply. In desperation, in early March, he personally went to Changsha again, wanting to ask for money from Zhang Jingyao. How can I say that Zhang Jingyao's territory was all fought down with the help of the Third Division, and now Wu Peifu is also helping Zhang Jingyao protect the country when he talks about it in front.

But that Zhang Dadu Jun was a master who was like a penny, he refused to pay for it, and he cried poor in front of Wu Peifu all the time. said that he had been an overseer for more than half a year, but he was a big son who didn't save it, and he also pulled a lot of deficits, and now he has an IOU in his pocket in addition to being a ticket, and he is also powerless to help Wu Peifu......

When he came back from Changsha, Wu Daxiucai's heart was almost cold, and he was wondering if he should come to a time when he would not do it. A person claiming to be a courier of China's GCD suddenly visited and sent a handwritten letter from Chen Duxiu, chairman of the Chinese G. said that he could help him contact the local forces in Hunan and support him to replace Zhang Jingyao and serve as the overseer of Hunan! If Wu Peifu is interested in cooperating, the CG will also send their Central Bureau member Mao ZD to Hengyang for an interview with him.

Although Wu Peifu lives in Hengyang, he always pays attention to the situation in the world, and he has long known what the Chinese GCD is and what the background is. He also understands that although the painting cake offered by the other party is a bit big, it is not a lie...... After all, Chang Ruiqing, the secretary of the Southern Bureau of the Central G, didn't just take the status of a mixed brigade commander. Took the entire province of Fujian in one fell swoop? How many of them are greasy, even if Wu Peifu didn't see it at the time, he has already thought about it clearly!

That's why today he will use such a big pomp to greet Mao ZD, who looks like a scholar, Mao Da Committee.

……

Mao ZD is sitting now, in the living room of the headquarters of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army, there is almost no decoration. It's just that there is a five-colored flag on the wall, and a full picture of the Republic of China. And what is served is just a cup of tea.

Of course, his public name for coming to Hengyang was not "Lianwu to drive Zhang". Rather, it is promoting "inter-provincial autonomy" and preparing to run for the Hunan constituency of the inter-provincial assembly. So just now on the Hengyang wharf, at the gate of the headquarters of the Third Division. When facing the fathers and villagers of Hunan Province, as well as the reporter friends who came from the provincial capital Changsha. Mao Da, a member of the CPPCC National Committee, talked a lot about the advantages of "inter-provincial autonomy" and vowed to everyone that once he is elected as a member of the inter-provincial assembly, he will certainly win the greatest autonomy for Hunan.

But now, when only he and Wu Peifu are left in this living room, it is time to get straight to the point.

Mao Zd put down the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly at Wu Peifu: "Senior Commander Wu, since you have decided to cooperate with our party, then I might as well tell you the truth." In fact, this time I support you to be the overseer of Hunan. It's not just us at GCD in China. ”

"Oh, who else?" Wu Peifu said quietly.

An extremely confident smile appeared on Mao Zd's face: "And Mr. Sun Yat-sen!" ”

A trace of surprise slipped across Wu Peifu's face, but he quickly concealed it: "Isn't Mr. Sun supporting Tan Zu'an?" ”

Mao ZD smiled and waved his hand: "Let Tan Wei Princess Xiang, are you willing to give up in Beiyang?" At that time, I am afraid that the war between the north and the south will be resumed, and won't the 'autonomy and peaceful reunification of the provinces' advocated by Mr. Sun and our party be in vain again? ”

As soon as he said this, he said. Wu Peifu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sun Yat-sen and GCD's minds can be seen through by anyone with a little brain...... It's a shame that this Mao ZD can still say it seriously, so he rushes to this ability to tell lies, it seems that he will definitely be a great character in the future.

Seeing Wu Peifu's expression, Mao ZD also smiled: "Anyway, Mr. Sun and our party do not approve of letting Princess Tan Wei Xiang, please don't doubt this." ”

Wu Peifu smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, that Tan Zu'an really wants to engage in Hunan autonomy...... How about making him a governor? ”

Mao Zd shook his head slowly: "Mr. Sun means Cheng Songgong." ”

"Cheng Songyun?" Wu Peifu's face moved. Nodding slightly: "This is probably Mr. Sun's condition, right?" And what are the conditions of your party? ”

Mao Zd smiled, raised his right hand and pointed at Wu Peifu and said, "It's Your Excellency." ”

Wu Peifu was stunned and looked at Mao ZD with some hesitation. Mao ZD explained in a solemn tone: "Chairman Chen of our party hopes that Master Wu can join us and become a member of our Chinese GCD!" ”

Chen Duxiu and Chang Ruiqing never thought of letting Wu Peifu join the CG, and they did not expect that the backbone of the Beiyang lineage like Wu Peifu would fall to the side of the people (our Chang Da revolutionaries have always thought they could represent the people). However, Mao ZD still plans to try to win over this seemingly patriotic Master Wu, at least in his opinion, this Wu Peifu is more like a revolutionary than Chang Ruiqing.

However, Wu Peifu's reaction was to ask rhetorically: "Is Mr. Zuo Min a comrade of your party?" It seems that the name of this hero is not on the list of members of the Central Committee published by your party. ”

Mao Zd lowered his head and replied with great certainty: "Comrade Zuo Min is, of course, a member of our party, and he is also the de facto leader of our party!" It's just that his identity is too sensitive, and it is inconvenient for this name to appear on the list of members of the Central Committee of our Party. ”

It's not that Mao ZD is talking about this, he has indeed consulted Chen Duxiu on this issue in private. What Mao Zd is suing Wu Peifu now is Chen Duxiu's original words when he sued him that day.

Wu Peifu smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Zuo Min is the leader of your party, then Peifu is willing to join the Chinese GCD!" But can you have the honor to meet Mr. Zuo Min in the future? ”

Mao ZD frowned, and said in his heart that I can't even see this big leader of the left! How much more are you? He smiled bitterly and said to Wu Peifu: "Tell me the truth. Zai Ye, like General Ziyu, wants to see Comrade Zuo Min but can't! ”

Wu Peifu was stunned for a moment, and his face was already three or four points cold. To put it mildly, the current GCD is just a small party that has just opened, and the reason why it can attract the attention of the whole world, and everyone thinks that they are a great force, is not because it is stained with the light of the Red Brigade and the comrades of the Left People, who are also afraid of imperialism? But now the members of the Central Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Can this not raise suspicions? Do you not believe me, Wu Peifu, or do you have nothing to do with the Red Brigade at all?

Mao ZD saw Wu Peifu's doubts at a glance, and he smiled. He also said: "General Ziyu, Comrade Zuomin's current position determines that he must be cautious and not expose himself lightly. In fact, except for the core personnel of their red brigade. There are not many people who have really seen Zuo Min, even if General Ziyu sees it, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, right? Let's arrange for Comrade Meng Li, chief of staff of the Red Brigade, to meet with you. Oh, it's the famous red eunuch! ”

Now Wu Peifu was finally satisfied, and he smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then I, Wu Peifu, will be a member of the Chinese GCD from now on." However, the identity of the brothers is also more sensitive, and it is better for this party to join secretly. ”

Mao ZD slapped his face and laughed: "Naturally, naturally." Then let's discuss how to invite Zhang Jingyao out of Hunan! ”

Hearing the words to drive Zhang Jingyao away, Wu Peifu's eyebrows that drooped a little couldn't help but twist up. Honestly. He really wanted to be the overseer of Hunan, and he had to be the overseer in order for his third division to have a reliable source of pay, but he didn't want to be the enemy of the entire Beiyang system.

Wu Peifu's thoughts have long been expected by Chang Ruiqing and Mao ZD. Before Mao ZD left Fuzhou, the two of them had already discussed a solution.

At this time, Mao Zd smiled and said: "General Ziyu, the purpose of our joint efforts to drive Zhang in Hunan this time is not to provoke a full-scale war with Beiyang, which is not in the interests of our and Mr. Sun. Of course, we don't want you, General Ziyu, to confront the entire Beiyang because of the expulsion of Zhang! Our plan is to make the expulsion a matter for Hunan itself, and it has nothing to do with Beijing or the rest of the country. ”

Wu Peifu was slightly stunned. Rhetorical asking, "Is this possible?" ”

Mao ZD smiled and said, "Of course it's possible!" Has General Ziyu forgotten about the autonomy of the provinces? What is inter-provincial autonomy? That is, we should take the province as a unit, practice local autonomy to the greatest extent, and solve our own affairs well. If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Jingyao seems to be one of the few princes in the country who has not expressed his support for the autonomy of the provinces, right? ”

Wu Peifu smiled contemptuously: "Why does he engage in autonomy? He neither suppressed the military power of the whole of Hunan, nor did he make the Hunan gentry support. If the Hunan Province is autonomous, I am afraid that it will not be as good as his overseer. Why, do you intend to play the card of Hunan taking the lead in realizing the autonomy of the two provinces in the North-South peace talks? ”

Mao ZD laughed: "What General Ziyu said is very true, we just want to use the autonomy of the United Province to reverse Zhang." ”

Wu Peifu shook his head: "I'm afraid Duan Zhiquan won't agree, right?" ”

Mao Zd said lightly: "Then we will find a way to promote this matter, and we must get the Beiyang government to agree to implement inter-provincial autonomy in Hunan." For example, we and the Kuomintang representatives can propose the peaceful reunification of Hunan through the method of inter-provincial autonomy in the North-South peace talks, so as to resolve the North-South conflict that is currently taking place in Hunan.

At the same time, Mr. Sun can also raise his posture and say that neither the Kuomintang nor Tan Yanhong will participate in this Hunan Provincial Senate election, so that only our GCD and Liang Qichao's Progressive Party will be left to run. It doesn't matter if he Liang Qichao is afraid of the Kuomintang, if even our GCD is afraid, then his Progressive Party will also be opened. If it really doesn't work, I'll draft another telegram to analyze the shape of Beiyang for Duan Zhilao, and keep him agreeing to hold an election in Hunan! ”

He smiled slightly, and said: "At the same time, General Ziyu can also actively participate in the election of the Hunan Provincial Senate, on the one hand, he publicly announced that he was in favor of solving the Hunan problem with the method of inter-provincial autonomy; On the one hand, we will join the Progressive Party, contact the gentry in the Hengyang area, and strive to get more candidates, and we will also arrange for some gentry and celebrities who are inclined to the Kuomintang and Tan Yanhong to vote under General Ziyu and let them participate in the election in the name of the Progressive Party. Moreover, the area around Hengyang is now controlled by General Ziyu's Third Division, and part of the southern and western parts of Hunan is controlled by the Hunan army, which is inclined to protect the French military government. The elections on these turf turf can be completely manipulated by both of us, and even in the elections on the turf of Changsha, Yueyang, and Xiangtan, General Ziyu can completely exert influence."

Wu Peifu seems to understand what Mao ZD means. It seems that the other side wants to use the normal "democratic process" to drive Zhang away, if those pro-KMT figures and GCDs in the name of the Progressive Party can sue the Hunan Provincial Senate. Then they can naturally elect Zhang Jingyao's Overseers and elect themselves as Overseers! If Zhang Jingyao refuses to give way, there is nothing wrong with him sending troops to fight, and Beiyang can't regard himself as a traitor.

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu no longer hesitated, he exhaled heavily and replied loudly: "Okay! As soon as Qiē is done, it will all be done according to the meaning of Mr. Mao and GCD. I will then order someone to draft a telegram to support the peaceful reunification of Hunan by means of inter-provincial autonomy! ”
