When the main force of the Third Mixed Brigade of the Zhili Provincial Army was in the "bloody battle" in Shahe Town, our Brigade Commander Tang was leisurely sitting in the house in Changping County drinking tea and chatting. Of course, Brigade Commander Tang was not idle, and he was carefully looking at the account books sent by the Quartermaster Department. In last night's "rebellion action", the Military Justice Department, the Quartermaster Department, and the Guard Platoon took coercive measures against the six Manchu nobles who actively participated in the restoration inside and outside Changping City.

"These old and young people are really rich!" Looking at the exhaustive list of things copied from the house of Huang Zhongnu, the governor of Changping County, Brigade Commander Tang said to himself: "If it weren't for the fact that this place is too close to the Beijing Division, Lao Tzu would have copied all these Manchu nobles!" ”

The silver, gold bars, antiques, calligraphy and paintings copied out by Huang Zhongnu's family are estimated to be no less than 100,000 yuan, and as for the land, real estate, stocks, etc., they cannot be valued for a while. Huang Zhongnu is a Manchu Qing Dynasty inlaid with yellow flags, his ancestors were officials for generations, and he served as a county magistrate in Changping for several years at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and continued to be the county governor after the Republic of China, and of course he amassed a lot of property. Although the other five are not so exaggerated, they can make 10,000 or 20,000 oceans at will, and the total amount of fields, pawnshops, and workshops is also quite amazing.

"The little characters who live in Changping City are so rich, but what about the ones who live in the capital?" Tang Zhidao has a strong ability to associate, thinking that he knocked 200,000 oceans from Ming Beile to borrow the urgent need. The Manchu aristocracy ruled China for more than 200 years, and the wealth they harvested was incalculable, but due to Yuan Datou's tolerance during the Xinhai Revolution, these riches were not deprived in the slightest.

"Brigadier Commander, good news, good news!" Zhou Wenruo ran in with a happy face, and said urgently: "In the first battle of Shahe, our army won a complete victory, killing and wounding 321 people under the enemy's puppet division commander Liu Dongheng, and capturing 4,896 people under the brigade commander Yang Deming......"

"Got it." Tang Zhidao didn't raise his head and asked casually, "Chief of Staff Xu, where are they going?" ”

"Chief of Staff Xu left a battalion to guard the prisoners and led the main force south." Zhou Wenruo thought for a while and said, "This point should be south of the Shahe River!" ”

"What?" Tang Zhizhi's face changed greatly, and he slammed the table and shouted: "Play the piano randomly!" Who gave him so much power! ”

"Brigade Commander, didn't you grant Chief of Staff Xu full powers......" Zhou Wenruo asked suspiciously, last night Brigade Commander Tang repeatedly demanded that all departments must obey Chief of Staff Xu's dispatch.

"What are you doing in a daze, chase them back immediately!" Brigade Commander Tang said with a tiger face: "The whole brigade will withdraw to the north of Shahe Town for me!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Although Zhou Wenruo was a little unclear, Brigade Commander Tang's order still had to be carried out to the letter.

"Wait, I'll take it myself." Zhou Wenruo was just about to go out, Tang Zhidao picked up the military hat on the table and chased him out, and the guard platoon was ordered to complete the assembly in a short time.

Tang Zhidao and others pursued until more than ten miles south of Shahe Town to catch up with the main force of the mixed brigade with high morale and high spirits, and the officers and soldiers who were still unsatisfied were still counting on attacking Beijing City and overthrowing the restored Manchu court.

"Brigadier Commander, why are you here?" Xu Yongchang saw Tang Zhidao rushing over in a hurry, and asked in surprise: "Those thousands of people in Beiyuan don't need to work for your big driver!" ”

"The front team will be changed to the rear team, and all the troops will be withdrawn to Shahe Town for me!" Tang Zhidao ignored it, and just ordered coldly.

"Brigade commander, this is ......" Xu Yongchang was stunned for a moment and just wanted to ask, but when he saw Brigade Commander Tang's already gloomy face and leave, he had to convey the order.

Although the officers and soldiers below did not understand it very well, no one dared to question Brigade Commander Tang's orders, and now Brigade Commander Tang of the mixed brigade was a supreme existence, and no one dared to challenge his authority.

The troops came and went and then set up camp in Shahe Town, and were busy until the sun went down. Along the way, Chief of Staff Xu pondered and meditated, and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

"Maybe I ordered the troops to go south without asking for instructions?" Xu Yongchang said secretly: "But now is indeed a great opportunity, it's a pity to miss it!" ”

Thinking of the great cause of the republic, Chief of Staff Xu had no choice but to go to Brigade Commander Tang and try to persuade Brigade Commander Tang to enter Deshengmen, but he was a little hesitant to go outside Brigade Commander Tang's door. After getting along for more than two months, I think I know a little bit about Brigade Commander Tang, and Brigade Commander Tang will never get angry for no reason, he must have done something wrong.

"Why don't you come in when Cichen arrives at the door!" The corner of Brigade Commander Tang's eyes looked at Xu Yongchang, so he put down the battle report in hand and greeted him warmly.

"Brigade commander, I ...... today's matter" Xu Yongchang said again and again, not knowing where to start for a while.

"Does Cichen want to ask me why I'm in a hurry to summon you back?" Tang Zhidao pointed to a wooden chair in front of him and said with a smile: "Are you angry with me!" ”

"How dare your subordinates?" Xu Yongchang sat down with a wry smile and said, "It's just a pity to miss this opportunity!" ”

"It's not an opportunity, it's a trap." Tang Zhidao shook his head and said, "If you fall in, it will be difficult to get out." ”

"Brigadier Commander, what do you mean by that?" Xu Yongchang was surrounded by clouds and mountains and fog, and asked incomprehensibly: "Could it be that the pigtail handsome still has the strength to fight back against us?" ”

"According to the current situation, it shouldn't be much of a problem for one of our brigades to enter Beijing City or even defeat Zhang Braidshuai." Tang Zhidao turned his words around and asked, "But can we control the huge Beijing City?" ”

"Brigade commander, are you afraid of ......" Xu Yongchang thought of something, but he hadn't fully realized it yet.

"Tens of thousands of military and police officers inside and outside the city of Beijing, once it gets out of control, the harm may be greater than ten restorations!" Tang Zhidao knocked on the table and said: "At that time, you and I will not be heroes of the re-establishment of the republic, but complete sinners!" ”

Now although Duan Qirui has raised the banner of rebellion, his rebel army is hundreds of miles away from the Beijing division on both the east and west roads, and he will not be able to reach the Beijing division within a day or two. Once the Tang Daoist Department really stormed the city, it was likely to cause a chain reaction, and the situation might even fall out of control.

"Thank you Brigadier for the point, I almost made a big mistake!" Now Xu Yongchang completely understood, and regretted his recklessness.

"It's to blame that I didn't make it clear to you." Tang Zhidao waved his hand and said, worrying that the situation would get out of control was just one of the wishes of Brigade Commander Tang who was unwilling to enter Beijing immediately. A more important reason can only be understood and cannot be spoken, but out of trust in Chief of Staff Xu, Brigade Commander Tang still said simply: "Cichen, our small provincial brigade has done enough, and we should leave something for others to do!" ”

"Brigade Commander Cai, Yongchang has been taught!" Chief of Staff Xu is such a smart character, and the joints are thorough at all. What a great achievement is it to rebuild the republic? If Zhang Pigtail Shuai is a real tiger, everyone still has to think about whether Wu Song has the ability, but now Pigtail Shuai has become an out-and-out dead tiger, and anyone wants to go up and step on two feet!

"It's not too early, send a telegram to Premier Duan in Tianjin." Tang Zhidao picked up a note on the table and handed it to Xu Yongchang and said, "I have already prepared the message, just send it as it is." ”

Xu Yongchang took the telegram and saw that there were only a few simple lines on it: Premier Duan Junjian: Although our department defeated the rebel army advancing north in Shahe Town, it suffered heavy casualties and insufficient food, and urgently needed to rest and recuperate and was unable to continue to go south. Tang Zhidao, commander of the Third Mixed Brigade of the Zhili Provincial Army.

Turning his attention to Tianjin Machang, there was a gloomy cloud in the headquarters of the rebel army, which should have been in full swing. It stands to reason that with Cao Kun, Li Changtai, Feng Huanzhang and other people from all walks of life responding to the rebellion, the "God of Wealth" Liang Shiyi borrowed two million oceans of military salary from Japan, and the great writer Liang Qichao helped out, the situation should be very good, or everyone here will become a great hero in rebuilding the republic and regain control of the situation in China.

To say that what caused everyone to be in a bad mood was the telegram of "Shahe Victory" from Brigade Commander Tang. This is a bit strange, why did Brigade Commander Tang win the battle, but these Beiyang bigwigs are not very happy? This starts with the ins and outs of this restoration. On the surface, this restoration is Zhang Braidshuai to take the lead, and the old and young are waving the flag to cheer, but in fact, without the instigation and acquiescence of the old Duan Xiaoxu, Zhang Braidshuai's 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers do not talk about Beijing City, I am afraid that the boundaries of Xuzhou will not be able to come out.

Lao Duan Xiaoxu took great pains to set up this game, obviously not to watch a good show, nor did he want the Manchu court to jump out and end it in a pot. The final intention is to use Zhang Braidshuai, a stunned man, to oust Li Huangpo, a clay bodhisattva. How can you say that Li Huangpo is a genuine democratically elected president, although he does not have half the power in Beijing, but if you take the initiative to knock him down, the notoriety index will go up all of a sudden. If nothing else, you can't settle in the six southern provinces alone.

According to the original script, after Zhang Pigtail got rid of Li Huangpo, it was time for Lao Duan Xiaoxu to clean up the mess. I never thought that Lao Duan's influence would plummet after he stepped down, the most important thing is that Lao Duan was not armed, and he ran for two or three days in a row to put up the shelf of the rebel army, and was preparing to crusade against the pigtail army by force. But Brigade Commander Tang was born, and it is likely that the rebel army did not reach Beijing, and Zhang Braided Shuai was shot to death. If this situation really occurs, the so-called rebel army will become the laughing stock of the world, a problem that a small brigade commander can solve, so that these prime ministers, ministers, deputy ministers, and overseers are embarrassed?

"Again, Tang Ruoshui is what you carried!" Fu Liangzuo squinted at Xu Shuzheng, and said in words: "Do you think you want to send a telegram to him to stop first?" ”

"Tang Ruoshui, you should know Fang Cun, besides, in what name should we ask him to stop?" Xiao Xu shook his head and said. The so-called rebel army was made by Lao Duan Xiao Xu himself, although Brigade Commander Tang was barely counted as Xiao Xu's person, but if people don't buy your account, you really have nothing to do.

"There are 50,000 or 60,000 military and police inside and outside the capital, is it possible that he can't stop a small provincial brigade?" Duan Zhigui said disdainfully: "I'm afraid I'm going to hit my head and bleed when the time comes!" ”

"Xiangyan, don't underestimate Tang Ruoshui, now the hearts of people inside and outside the capital are fluctuating. Beiyuan's thirteenth division only has half of its troops left, and the dragons are leaderless, how can they stop the Tang Department with a great victory? Qu Tongfeng sighed and said: "If he is a little smarter and plots against the 13th Division, it is not impossible to take the capital together!" ”

"In this way, send a telegram to Tang Ruoshui in my own name, and ask him to stop at the line of the Shahe River for the time being." Lao Duan pondered for a moment and said, "What's the matter, he is also my student. ”

When everyone heard this, there was no objection, Huaxia was like this, and it was often more useful to do things in a private capacity than to do official business.

"Prime Minister, Deputy Minister!" At this moment, a young officer outside walked in quickly, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he said: "Another telegram from the Third Mixed Brigade!" ”

"Read, read!" Everyone in the room raised their throats, for fear that Tang Ruoshui had really entered Beijing City.

"Premier Duan Junjian: Although our department defeated the northbound rebel army in Shahe Town......" With the young officer's voice, everyone finally showed a smile on their faces.

Without waiting for Lao Duan to speak, Xiao Xu said with a smile: "It's all approved, let him rest in Shahe with peace of mind, and the food and salary will be allocated to him as appropriate." ”

"In this way, add another Northern Route Army, and the commander will be Tang Zhidao, who will command all departments of the Northern Front." Lao Duan added: "But we have to wait for the unified action of the east and west!" ”

Originally, the rebel army only set up two roads, east and west, and the commander of the east road was Duan Zhigui, under the jurisdiction of Li Changtai's eighth division and Feng Huanzhang's sixteenth mixed brigade; The commander of the West Road is Cao Kun, and he has the Third Division and the First Mixed Brigade of Zhili Province under his command. As for the Tang Daoist Department, at first, the bigwigs only thought he was here to grab some lottery heads, and they didn't care too much.
