"Cichen, it's half an hour earlier than we expected!" Entering Changping County, Brigade Commander Tang looked down at his watch and said to Xu Yongchang behind him with a smile: "The defense of the dignified Jingbei town has been negligent to this point, if we put a regiment in Changping County, I am afraid it will not be so easy for us to take here!" ”

"If you really stick to it, one battalion will be almost the same, and if you mobilize the merchant groups and militia groups inside and outside the city, there will be thousands of people." Xu Yongchang pulled the reins and followed, saying, "As long as you hold on for half a day, Beiyuan's reinforcements can arrive!" ”

"Brigade commander, chief of staff, you are coming so fast!" As he spoke, Song Hualong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, greeted him, jumped off his horse and said happily: "But our cavalry battalion has all been done!" ”

"How's it going?" Tang Zhidao asked casually, the first battle of Changping focused on political influence, and military was secondary.

"Twenty-two enemy wounds were killed, three hundred and eighteen were captured, three hundred and twenty-five long and short guns and two heavy machine guns were captured." Referring to the results of the battle, Song Hualong hurriedly reported with a straight face: "One person was killed on our side, two were seriously injured, and six were slightly injured!" ”

"The enemy army in Changping City should be a battalion, and the total number of heavy machine gun platoons should be more than six hundred, even if there is one or two percent of the vacancy, it will not be less than five hundred!" Xu Yongchang's face sank and asked sharply, "Where are the nearly two hundred enemy troops running to?" ”

Song Hualong hurriedly said: "There are still more than a hundred enemies who have run away from the south gate, and Battalion Commander Han has already led his troops to pursue, I am in a hurry to ......"

"Forget it, go back and write a battle report, and summarize it well!" Tang Zhidao waved his hand and said, "Also, send someone to inform Han Zitai, stop in moderation, don't chase too far." ”

Upon hearing this, Song Hualong was relieved and hurriedly said goodbye and left. Although his cavalry battalion occupied the city of Changping, the battle was not good.

According to the original plan, the brigade cavalry battalion and Han Zitai's independent cavalry battalion only needed to block the periphery of Changping City, and wait until the main force of the brigade headquarters arrived before attacking the city, so that not a single soldier in Changping City would want to run out. But Song Hualong and Han Zitai killed all the way to Changping, and when they saw that the two gates in the northwest were wide open, they simply killed into the city, and the battalion commander of the 13th Division was helping to hang the dragon flag in Nancheng at the moment, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he led some of his subordinates to run south. In this way, a good encirclement and annihilation battle will be a rout, and if it is placed on other occasions, it will be an out-and-out disobedience to military orders, and it will be court-martialed.

"Brigade Commander, in this way, our intentions are not all exposed!" Xu Yongchang looked at Song Hualong's distant back and said dissatisfiedly: "The capital will definitely strengthen its guards!" ”

"Exposed, exposed!" Tang Zhidao said indifferently: "Anyway, I'll send another power later!" ”

Why is that? Isn't the art of war about surprises? Xu Yongchang asked puzzledly: "We have few soldiers, if we lose the suddenness again, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous!" ”

"Ci Chen, from a purely military point of view, there is no need to send the telegram in front of us. Along both sides of the railway line straight into the capital, maybe tomorrow you can hit the Desheng Gate. Tang Zhidao smiled and explained: "Politically speaking, the telegram we sent out earlier is more powerful than hitting Beiyuan!" ”

"Yes! There are four or five divisions around the Guangjing Division, plus the Yamen of the infantry army and the Beijing Division Police Department, there are more than 70,000 military and police around the capital, and our brigade is still a thin point! Xu Yongchang said impassionedly: "But there are not many people who want to follow the restoration, as long as we hit the foot of Jingshi, I think there will be many people who will respond to us!" ”

"Cichen, things are not as simple as you think." Tang Zhidao waved his hand and said, "We've been out for a few hours with the power on, and none of the powerful factions in the north have responded yet." Everyone is waiting and seeing, if we win, it's okay to say, if we lose, I'm afraid the attitude of many wall-riding factions will also change! ”

"What does the brigade commander mean that it is better for us to ignore it now, wait and see how the situation develops, and then decide on the next step?" Zhou Wenruo, who had just dared to go behind Brigade Commander Tang, heard a little bit of the doorway.

"We've taken the most critical step." Tang Zhidao nodded and said: "The following things will be handed over to those big people, they should always wipe their butts by themselves for the trouble they have caused." ”

Xu Yongchang still wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment and still didn't say it, after all, what Brigade Commander Tang said was also very reasonable, and the strength of the 13th Division in Guangbeiyuan was nearly twice that of the 3rd Mixed Brigade.

"This Changping County government is really bright!" While speaking, the group has come to the Changping County Ya, which has been used as the brigade headquarters by the Tang Brigade Long March, and the lanterns, ribbons, and dragon flags that the Huang County Master sent to hang have not had time to take down.

"Changping is a capital county, and there are more banner people, and there are definitely not a few people looking forward to restoration!" Yu Lifu, director of the Political Propaganda Department, said: "The biggest problem of the early revolution of the Republic of China is that it did not completely liquidate these Manchu nobles stained with the blood of our Han people, which led to the establishment of the Republic of China for five or six years, and there is still such a big market for restoration!" ”

"Jingyi, I can't see that you are still a nationalist!" Tang Zhidao looked at a clean chair and sat down and laughed: "Now you can have a republic of five races, be careful that people say that you engage in ethnic discrimination." ”

"I'm just talking about things, none of the last emperors of all dynasties has been treated so favorably as the Manchus." Yu Lifu knew the general tendency of Brigadier Tang, so he said without hesitation: "I think that President Yuan Da made a big loan to deal with the aftermath and mortgaged the two taxes on the salt, but the real amount of money is only tens of millions, and this money is more than enough as long as Lao Qing's family is copied!" "Lao Qing refers to Prince Qing Yixuan, in the later years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yixuan and his two sons betrayed the official beard, corrupted the law, and had a family fortune of more than 10 million.

"What Director Yu said is extremely true, but Yuan Weiting himself is a member of the Manchu nobles, and his country was stolen from the Manchus in the final analysis, how can he liquidate his supporters?" Chen Congyi, the chief of the military justice department, shook his head and said.

"Heaven can forgive oneself for its iniquity, and you can't live!" Speaking of this, Xu Yongchang said solemnly: "This time, the small Manchu court is looking for its own death, so we should take advantage of the situation to drive it out of the Forbidden City!" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard!" Tang Zhidao said helplessly: "Even if we defeat the pigtails, the small Manchu court can also shirk being coerced." ”

"If this curse is not removed, sooner or later it will be another disaster!" Xu Yongchang said indignantly, he was really right, although this small court was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Huanzhang in the history of later generations, it was later used by small Japan to make a Manchukuo.

"We can't care about the Forbidden City, anyway, we're idle for the time being, let's sort out Changping City first." Tang Zhidao said viciously: "Lao Chen, Enhe, and this matter will be handed over to the two of you, and anyone who rebels this time will have their property confiscated for military expenses!" ”

"Good!" Chen Congyi hurriedly stood up and said, Lu Enhe smiled even more on his face, and hurriedly agreed. Nowadays, the mixed brigade has a big business and a lot of expenses, so if you don't take this opportunity to get some money, you won't have this store in this village.

"Just catch the first evil, and forget about some coercion!" Seeing Xu Yongchang's uneasy face, Brigade Commander Tang was afraid that he would misunderstand him and changed his words, after all, it was the suburbs of Beijing that made too much noise and would inevitably cause people to gossip, and it would also make the officers who had recently joined the mixed brigade misunderstood.

"Yupu, you hurry up and send a telegram to Premier Duan in Tianjin, Cao Dujun in Baoding, Tian Dutong in Zhangjiakou and others, it's simpler!" After Chen Congyi and Lu Enhe left, Tang Zhidao arranged again: "Ci Chen, your staff office hurry up and draw up an ambush plan, the location is near Shahe Town, and the time is at noon tomorrow!" ”

"Brigadier Commander, what are you?" As soon as he heard that he was going to fight, Xu Yongchang came to the spirit, but he hadn't figured out Brigade Commander Tang's intentions yet.

"Changping is an important town in northern Beijing, and it is occupied by us, how can Zhang Pigtail Shuai sit idly by?" Tang Zhidao turned around and instructed Li Dazhu: "Bring the map." ”

"Even if he is an example, he has to send troops to recover Changping, otherwise even a small brigade commander like me can't handle it, who will have confidence in his small Manchu court?" Tang Zhidao spread out the map and pointed to the area in the north of Beijing and said: "According to the reaction speed in the capital......

"At least tomorrow morning, the troops will not be able to send out, and the strength should be around a mixed brigade." Xu Yongchang took over the conversation and pointed to Shahe Town on the map and said: "It's almost at this location in the afternoon, I remember that there is a large forest here, and there is a breakthrough more than ten meters high on the right side. ”

"Now that Cichen understands, this battle will be handed over to you to command!" Tang Zhidao said with satisfaction: "I am in Changping for your good news!" ”

"Thank you Brigade Commander for your trust, I will definitely fight this battle!"

……

Only a few hours apart, the second telegram from the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Zhili Army was sent from Changping, which immediately caused a huge repercussion, and the impact on some powerful factions was even greater than the first one.

"Yun Shuai, the main force of Tang Ruoshui's department has occupied Changping, and the scout cavalry has swept through Shahe Town!" Tanaka Yu, who was having dinner in the Imperial Palace, listened to Chief of Staff Ding's report and said three times in a row with a shocked face.

"There's a possibility." Ding Youheng thought for a while and said in a low voice: "After the first telegram was sent, Tang Ruoshui's troops set off from the south entrance, and the time was just right!" ”

"Could it be that he has the ability to predict the future?" Tanaka Yu nodded and said, "Pay close attention to the telegrams in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing and other places, and report to me at any time!" ”

In Baoding, after Wu Peifu, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division, got the telegram, he immediately went to Cao Dashuai's mansion and persuaded Cao Kun bitterly: "Now that Tang Ruoshui has captured Changping, it is only half a day's journey from Deshengmen, and we will be passive if we don't express our position!" ”

"Ziyu, I still want to wait, our capital is not big, we can't just bet casually!" Cao Kun smiled and said: "Unlike Tang Ruoshui, who has a small capital, he can give it a go!" ”

"Then let's not take a stand yet, but the third division should move in the direction of the capital!" Wu Peifu retreated and said: "Otherwise, even if the situation is clear, we won't be able to do anything!" ”

"Okay, Ziyu, you take the Sixth Brigade and the cavalry regiment and go north first, and I'll come later!" Cao Kun shook his pipe and stood up and said, "Wait while walking!" ”

On the Tianjin side, Lao Duan, who has no soldiers in his hands, has been anxiously waiting for news from Xu Shuzheng and Fu Liangzuo in the mansion, as long as one of the two can successfully lobby, he can first pull up the shelf of the rebel army.

"Qingjie, how are things going?" Seeing Fu Liangzuo walking in with a gloomy face, Lao Duan hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"Zhu Jiabao even wore his old official uniform, and Yang Yide didn't give a letter for half a day!" Fu Liangzuo said helplessly: "It's up to you over there!" ”

Before the words fell, he saw Xu Shuzheng walking in with a happy face, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he said with a big grin: "There is absolutely no problem with Li Changtai's side, he has promised to obey the Prime Minister's dispatch!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Hearing this, Lao Duan's heart that had been hanging finally let go.

"Another good thing, Tang Ruoshui's Third Mixed Brigade has occupied Changping." Xiao Xu said very casually, but he was very proud in his heart.

"So fast!" Fu Liangzuo said in surprise, jealous in his heart, Xiao Xu could do anything as soon as he could, even a small sapling planted at random was about to grow into a big tree.

"This kid happened to be practicing at the south exit, and after sending the telegram, he crossed the railway line and went south!" Xiao Xu said with a smile: "We should also move, otherwise the situation is really out of control, and we will become sinners!" ”

"Well, let's go to the horse factory now and form a rebel army headquarters." Of course, Lao Duan understands the key, if he can't take the lead in this counterinsurgency, all the things he has done in front will be in vain!
