Chapter Seventy-One: The Little Emperor, The Big Deal V

"Handsome! Let's quickly withdraw the soldiers who besiege Fengtai, and save Nancheng first! ”

"After withdrawing the siege, Chang Ruiqing's kid ran out······ The 13th Division will not really fight, his model regiment will be desperate! ”

"Handsome! So far, this ······ Let's hurry up and call on the ministers of various countries and ask them to mediate! ”

"Mediation? What is a conciliation method? It's good to have someone disarm to save your life, Xuzhou will definitely not be able to go back! ”

"If you can't go back, you have to go back! Otherwise, when Li Changtai's Eighth Division and Cao Kun's Third Division come over, we will have no place to die! ”

"It's a long way, even if you put on your wings and fly, it will take several days, how can you go back to Xuzhou? Now there is only a fight, the big deal is to burn down the city of Beijing, go to the Taihang Mountain to fall into the grass! ”

"Let's go to Kanwai! We can keep the imperial court and go to Guanwai, where they are full of dragons, there is always a place for us! ”

"It's useless to go, we don't have the emperor in our hands, besides, are those people in the court willing to go with us? Prince Alcohol can now raise money everywhere to redeem his precious son, so that he can continue to stay in the city of Beijing and receive four million preferential silver every year! Where is there any imperial court in his heart, and what is the Qing Dynasty? What the hell are we trying to do these days? ”

"They don't want this full country themselves, what are we going to do? What a confusion! ”

In the War Department in Beijing's Iron Lion Hutong, Zhang Xun's staff were in a chaotic voice. The news of the change in the 13th Division was almost about to ring the death knell of this small court in Beijing. Most of the princes and ministers who came to the War Department from time to time to show their faces are now closed, and some of them simply hide in the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane. And the two concubines in the Forbidden City washed their faces with tears all day long, and cried non-stop when they saw Zhang Xun, as if their lives were about to be lost! As for Prince Alcohol, he is dedicated to raising silver, uh, it should be said to be gold, I heard that the banks and money banks inside and outside Beijing have run all over, either borrowing money or exchanging huàn gold, and nothing else······ What a good dad!

And Duan Qirui's rebel army seems to have some eyebrows, and the news from Tianjin that Li Changtai has taken over the errand of the deputy commander of the rebel army on the east road, and Cao Kun has also been electrified as the commander of the thief army on the west road. One east and one west are two divisions, 30,000 people smaller! Coupled with the 13th Division of Nanyuan and the model regiment of Fengtai, they are almost able to claim 50,000. How can Zhang Xun's thousands of pigtailed soldiers withstand it?

Zhang Dashuai now knows that it is almost over, and today he is wearing a court uniform with a flower feather to the War Department, and he is also covered with a yellow coat given by the emperor, it seems that he is preparing to be martyred for the Qing Dynasty!

This can scare a vote of staff around him, you are a lot older, probably enough to live, but the people below are young, and they still want to enjoy it for a few years.

They're all sorts of ideas that don't work at all, and they're getting louder. Hearing the green tendons on Zhang Xun's forehead, he finally yelled unbearably: "Shut up!" ”

There was a loud roar that startled everyone in the room. Zhang Xun was born in the army, and his temper has always been hot, although it cannot be said that he kills people at every turn, but it does not end well if he feels unhappy. Everyone was silent.

Zhang Xun's face was gloomy, his eyes swept around the room, and finally fell on Wan Xiangyan and Wang Baotian, two henchmen.

These two people are the two people with the most positive attitude towards the restoration in Zhang Xunmu, but they are both at a loss now. Wan Shenyu shook his head lightly at Zhang Xun: "Dashuai, take a step back and open the sky ······"

Zhang Xun said in a deep voice: "But where is there a way out now······

Wan Shenyan and Wang Baotian looked at each other, and Wang Baotian smiled bitterly: "Then gather the team into Beijing City to defend it, I think Duan Qirui doesn't want this world's best city to be destroyed in the war, right?" ”

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. The restoration has been in trouble until now, and everyone can see that the general trend has gone, and if there is anything else to rely on in their hands, I am afraid that there is only Beijing City! Beijing is well walled, it is not only the capital of the country but also involves the interests of the great powers, Duan Qirui should not attack it, and then naturally he can only solve the problem with behind-the-scenes deals. In this way, the worst outcome is to go to the field with electricity and go to work as a public servant in the Tianjin Concession, anyway, he has already made enough money for so many years.

"It's also a way to stick to the changes, but there is ······ in Xuzhou" Zhang Xun muttered to himself. There are still more than 60 battalions of pigtailed soldiers in Xuzhou, and if this force can be maintained, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future.

"Duan Qirui won't embarrass Zhang Wenzheng, Jiangsu is the territory of Feng He!" Wan Rope reminded him. Beiyang was originally Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Zhang Xun's "three-legged stand", but now that Zhang Xun has fallen, only Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are left. How could Duan Qirui call Xuzhou, where the pigtails were under control, to Li Chun, the Jiangsu overseer of Feng Guozhang's faction?

"Marshal, let's negotiate······ Where there is life, there is hope. Wang Baotian gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates are willing to go to Tianjin to talk to Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, how to keep the marshal and the foundation of our Dingwu army!" ”

Zhang Xun sighed lightly and waved his hand: "You can't go to this matter, you have to ask Wang Pingqing (Wang Shizhen) to come forward." As he spoke, he smiled bitterly again, and instructed the staff officers beside him: "Let Wang Jinbao and Lu Dayong withdraw their troops into Beijing City······ I'll go back and visit Wang Pingqing, and there must be a way to understand this matter······"

·····

With Zhang Xun's order to withdraw his troops into the city, Chang Ruiqing, who was still trapped in Fengtai City just now and "resigned himself to fate", immediately came to life. Although this battle was a bit of a fluke and a little nonsensical, it was won after all! Or win more with less, and create a miracle of "defeating thirty battalions with three battalions"! Well, anyway, the history textbooks of later generations have described the first battle commanded by the "Great Commander" in this way, and it is not wrong to think of it.

On January 24, carrying the aftermath of the "Fengtai Victory", Chang Ruiqing "commanded" more than 1,000 elites of his model regiment, and left Fengtai County under the joyful send-off of the common people and the five-color national flag. Advancing more than ten kilometers to the east, turning a corner in Dahongmen Town, and then marching north, there was a "victory meeting" at the Temple of Heaven and the second battalion of the model regiment commanded by Wang Junhao. Then the whole army approached outside the Zhengyangmen Gate in Beijing and established a position in the area from Dashilar to Bada Hutong! Well, it was the first time in Chang Da Revolutionary's life that he went to Bada Hutong, but he didn't see a single "woman who lost her footing", and the once prosperous and lively fireworks land is now a depression, as if it had just been washed by the revolutionary storm.

Chang Ruiqing's regimental headquarters was located in the Shanglin Immortal Pavilion in Shaanxi Lane, and before he had time to deploy the siege operation, a large number of well-dressed shopkeepers came to visit. They are all the heads of the major shops in the business district outside Zhengyangmen, and the first one is surnamed Le, who is the representative of Tongrentang Lejia, and also hangs the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

The shopkeeper saw that Chang Ruiqing was a tall hat, and the silver tickets were sent over one after another, and the praise was even more numb. However, the meaning of the words is also very clear, that is, please ask the commander of Changda and the brothers of the model regiment to be merciful, but don't fight with the pigtailed soldiers outside the Zhengyang Gate! Speaking of which, Chang Ruiqing finally relented, patted his chest and promised: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, although my brother is just a pioneer in the rebel army, I will also pat my chest for you here, as long as the pigtailed soldiers do not go out of Zhengyangmen, the brothers' soldiers will not attack······ Even if this is the situation of confrontation, it will only take ten days and eight days at most, and when the rebel army arrives, it will be time for Zhang Xun to step down. This is the end of the war disaster in Beijing! ”
