Chapter 14 The tripartite talks about Yuan Shikai telegraphed the tripartite meeting, saying: There are countless twists and turns, and the Empress Dowager Fang Longyu nodded. It is hoped that all parties will make the best use of the preferential conditions for the clearance room and resume the tripartite talks.

On the 12th, the tripartite talks resumed, and the representatives of the three parties sat upright, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Tingfang, and Wang Zhengting, sitting in three different positions.

Tang Shaoyi is probably used to a strong style, so Zhang Jian, who temporarily presided over the resumption of the talks, just announced the start, and Tang Shaoyi couldn't wait to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows about the telegram of Lord Gong Bao, and the preferential treatment conditions proposed by our party have been approved by the Empress Dowager Longyu. For the sake of peace in the Republic of China, I only represent the people of the northern provinces and call on all parties to do their best to give preferential treatment. The great cause of peaceful unification of the whole country! ”

As soon as the words fell, the three parties in Chapter 14 couldn't get along, and Wu Tingfang had already sneered twice and said: "The Northern Expeditionary Army of our Republic of China went down to Xuzhou in a battle yesterday, and today we will talk about the so-called great cause of peaceful reunification. When Niangzi Pass fell, he did not mention abdication, when Taiyuan fell, and when Hangu Pass and Lingbao fell, he did not mention abdication. As soon as my Northern Expeditionary Army left Xuzhou, Brother Shaochuan couldn't wait for peaceful reunification? Excuse me, is this what Brother Shaochuan means, or what Yuan Shikai means? ”

Tang Shaoyi gave me a roll of my eyes, and held back a sentence: "The north and the south negotiate peace, that is what you proposed?" Yuan Gongbao persuaded him to retire from the Qing Dynasty, which was also proposed by you. What does it mean to say this now? ”

This is the truth, Wu Tingfang was a little speechless. Seeing that the stalemate was down, at the critical moment, Wang Zhengting felt good and coughed. When the other two looked over. Unhurriedly said: "Our attitude and opinions are very clear, and the existing preferential conditions are absolutely unacceptable. The bottom line that we have always adhered to is that the Qing family abdicates, one must move out of the Forbidden City, the other cancels the so-called Qing dynasty name, and the third abdicates. No appropriation shall be made for the maintenance of the house. General Fang Jianxiong, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, has repeatedly said that the days when the Manchurians rode on the heads of the people of all nationalities to make a fortune are gone forever. ”

Although the host Zhang Chapter 14 could not reach an agreement, the three parties tried their best to mediate. Although the consuls of various countries attending the meeting as observers continued to round up, in the end, the meeting ended unhappily. The reason is simple. Tang Shaoyi insisted on the existing preferential treatment of the house in exchange for the result of the abdication. Wu Tingfang took the northern army's repeated destruction of the armistice treaty as the main point, bitten it to death and did not let go, and said that the Qing family should abdicate unconditionally.

Wang Zhengting's point of view is more relaxed, and the Qing family can talk about conditions, but not about the so-called preferential treatment.

It's all on the table, but what about under the table?

The Nanjing side held a meeting to study this matter. The presidents and deputy directors of various departments attending the meeting sat upright and listened. On the stage, Sun Zai waved his hand excitedly and gave a speech: "The abdication of the Qing family, everyone can speak freely. Sun began. Next, all kinds of different opinions appeared on the stage, each with its own opinion.

The first to jump out was the special participant, Wang Jingwei, a well-known "peace person" in history.

"The peace talks were proposed by the South, and the abdication of the Qing Dynasty was also proposed by the South. What else is there to talk about here? Wang Jingwei was very excited, and he looked like he should have been. But he was excited. Immediately received a head-on blow.

"The Qing family didn't accept it sooner or later, but accepted the so-called preferential abdication on the day our Northern Expeditionary Army captured Xuzhou? This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy between Beiyang and the Qing Dynasty, and a delaying tactic. The Provisional Government must continue to hold high the banner of the Northern Expedition and march towards Shandong. Marching towards Zhili. The victory prompted the Qing government to abdicate as much as possible. ”

Jumping out to refute Wang Jingwei is Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, Chen Dudu can be described as a die-hard loyalist of Sun, objectively speaking, he is also the most determined "revolutionary" in history. When the second time in history that the revolution failed and others were a little discouraged, only Chen Qimei still insisted on his activities until he was killed by the killer. Looking at this character objectively, in fact, he is a staunch supporter of Sun, or Sun's success is in line with the maximization of the interests of a group of people led by Chen Dudu.

The outcome of the meeting can be imagined in the end. The staunch Northern Expeditionary faction represented by Huang and Chen prevailed. Especially after the financial difficulties were alleviated, the Northern Expedition faction was even more uproarious. Just when Xuzhou was recovered and rejoiced up and down, the small wave of peace and peace was soon blown away by the rain and wind.

The meeting was held in Nanjing, and Wuchang was also in meeting.

However, compared to Sun's style of letting others speak first, Fang Jianxiong was much more direct. Facing a cadre of civil and military dignitaries, he sneered and pointed to the north and said: "The Qing family is about to abdicate, this is the inevitability of history." But this is also Yuan Shikai bargaining with us, allowing him to ask for a price all over the sky, so we are not allowed to pay back the money on the ground? The Provisional Government was on the Northern Expedition, and the Battle of Xuzhou tested the great advantage of the 75 mountain artillery equipped by our army in the face of the Japanese-made 38-year-old mountain artillery. He telegraphed to Wang Zhengting that it was too early for the tripartite talks to end, and that all of our conditions must be met. Let Wang Zhengting warn Yuan Shikai that if he doesn't agree, I will lead my troops to Beijing to fight. ”

The Battle of Xuzhou began on the morning of February 11, and the two sides of the battle were the Third Division of the People's Army against the six battalions and patrol battalions of Zhang Xun's headquarters, with about 6,000 men. The Beiyang Army in the fifth town has been evacuated in advance. The reason is that Zhang Yongcheng, the commander of the command, heard that a battalion had been touched, and it meant that the methods of the National Defense Force, and the civilian army definitely did not have that ability. Zhang Yongcheng received the news, and in line with the principle of being careful and not making a big mistake, he ordered the troops to retreat and return to Xuzhou overnight. How so? Zhang Yongcheng has always been worried that Fang Dashuai wants to avenge the teacher. What's more, Zhang Yongcheng is only acting in charge now, and if he is injured, this acting commander may not be able to sit down.

In fact, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army at this time was still staying in Suqian, collecting planks everywhere to build pontoon bridges.

Xuzhou's recovery, what kind of story is it? This question is not clear to the cold man who is in Xuzhou City. What does that mean? Leng Shu didn't mean to hit Xuzhou, he just wanted to respond, so he went to poke the periphery of Xuzhou if he had nothing to do.

Not to mention whether Xuzhou's city defense is strong or not, he rushed to Zhang Xun's two Japanese Meiji 38-year-style 75 artillery battalions, and Leng Yu did not dare to attack Xuzhou's idea.

The time of the accident was 10 early in the morning, and Leng Shu, who had returned to Su County, was invited to the headquarters of the 12th Brigade of the National Defense Forces. Leng Shu saw Huyan Aobo, and when he reported the military situation, he focused on the matter of the Japanese-made mountain artillery. This 75 mountain cannon is still relatively advanced. At least it is more suitable for the national conditions of China than the 75 guns equipped with by the Beiyang Army.

With an artillery company in his hand, he naturally would not enter the water to provoke the Xuzhou city defense. Originally, there was nothing to do, Huyan Aobo was eventful, and he said casually: "Bullshit, the 75 mountain cannon made by the small 『day』 is also called a cannon?" Our army is equipped with a new 75 gun, with a firing range of 9000, a rate of fire of 15, light disassembly, and a mule and horse can be camel-loaded. ”

As soon as Leng Shu heard this, he came to his senses. Without revealing a trace, he held Huyan Aobo a few words, which meant that he wanted to see the power of the so-called new 75 gun. Huyan Aobo was also quite lawless, so he immediately agreed and said, "Okay, aren't you just going to scare Xuzhou?" I send artillery to support you. Recently, there happened to be an opportunity for live ammunition shooting, which is not a fight? ”

Just like that, an artillery battalion stationed in Su County, 12 75 mountain guns, followed to Tongshan County. It's so good that he can't die, Zhang Xun, the unlucky guy, sent his artillery team to Tongshan County, in order to deter the Third Division of the People's Army that threatened Xuzhou.

Zhang Xun is not stupid, he knows that the people's army has no artillery, Tongshan County is the gateway to Xuzhou, and Zhang Xun originally played very well. With 3,000 people plus the artillery team, how can you not suffer, right? When Suqian's soldiers returned to Xuzhou, he also retreated. The fifth town has been withdrawn, why should he fight to the death with the people's army.

With this thought, Zhang Xun waited for Suqian's troops to withdraw. The city of Xuzhou is already organizing moves, and valuable gadgets are loaded into trucks and transported backwards. Under such a premise, Zhang Xun encountered bad luck.

Leng Shu's abacus is also very fine, anyway, it is approaching Tongshan County, so that the artillery of the National Defense Force can train their hands. I don't want the patrol battalion in Tongshan County to get the help of the artillery team, it's not an ordinary commotion. Leng Shu came out with great fanfare to scare people, but he didn't scare people, and provoked the artillery team sent by Zhang Xun.

An artillery bombardment, the people's army has been wandering around the city casually for the past two days, but today it is evil, a shell came down, and a company of wolves that were beaten was unbearable, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and wolves fled.

Leng Shu heard the movement behind him and hurriedly went to ask the Wehrmacht artillery to help. The artillery guys immediately raised the hot air balloon, and after determining the approximate location, they hurriedly arranged the position, and when the position was arranged, the number of jù also came out.

Very well, Zhang Xun's two artillery teams won the jackpot. In line with the attitude of serious training, the artillery of a battalion is very conscientious, firing 15 rounds per cannon, which is the amount of live ammunition fired in three months. The process of the real shelling, that is, a matter of more than a minute. After the battle was over, the Wehrmacht artillery packed up and withdrew, as if it were compulsory labor. Leng Shu and his subordinates, who stayed in place, fell to the ground with their eyes dropped.

From the time the hot air balloon is raised to the end of the day, it is a little more than half an hour. As soon as the cannon was disassembled, several large pieces were put on horseback and greeted: "Let's go first." "It's over, that's it.

The problem is that the Qing army on the opposite side suffered. Two artillery battalions were washed in pieces. In the minute just now, what is meant by bullets raining down has been best interpreted. To put it mildly, Zhang Xun's two artillery battalions are like his eyeballs. Usually, if you want to talk about live-fire exercises, you can't even think about it, how expensive are artillery shells. This time I came to Tongshan County, hoping to scare the people's army. Originally, the effect was not bad, but I didn't expect that within a minute, there were only three guns left.

Zhang Xun in Xuzhou City received the news, which really made a person cry without tears. How can this battle be fought? According to the battle report magnified countless times at the front, after a day of fierce fighting with the Wehrmacht, the artillery team suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the battalions suffered casualties. With a discount, I can't afford the loss of the artillery battalion alone. Now that the Wehrmacht has come in, it's still a fart, so let's withdraw quickly. Just like that, Zhang Xun in Xuzhou City ordered a retreat.

Leng Shu was about to withdraw as well, and the observation post reported that the defenders of Tongshan County had run away. (To be continued!!
