"Again!"

The sound of riding boots sounded, and Xu Shuzheng, who was listlessly leaning on the Western-style leather sofa in the living room of the Supervision Office, raised his eyes and saw Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang entering side by side. Wu Peifu's bone-scraping face was as gloomy as water, nodded at Xu Shuzheng, and then found a chair to sit down. Feng Yuxiang didn't seem to have forgotten the etiquette when the superiors and subordinates met in the army, so he gave Xu Shuzheng a military salute and sat on the sofa opposite Xu Shuzheng with a big grin.

Both of them were urgently recruited from their respective divisions, although Beiyang seemed to have gone to the general trend, but these two top division commanders in the Beiyang system did not have the slightest intention of eating and waiting for death. The defense of Harbin was mainly carried out by them in Zhangluo, and the training of their respective units was not relaxed at all.

The two of them were the 216th to go north to resist Russia and fight for the world, soaked in the barracks all day long, in addition to arming and training, they also reasoned and brainwashed the officers and soldiers below from time to time. Wu Peifu wrote a lot of inspiring poems, and people composed music to teach the soldiers to sing. Feng Yuxiang led more than 10,000 of his brothers to Christianity, and found many priests from churches in Harbin to preach to the officers and soldiers...... It doesn't matter what Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox Christians are, it just looks a bit like it anyway! In short, it is necessary to convince the officers and soldiers below that God and his old man are bless Master Feng, so Master Feng will definitely be able to lead everyone through the current crisis and do some earth-shattering great undertakings in the future!

As for the other two division commanders in Harbin City, they have already sorted out their burdens and are ready to run away from the field at any time. So Xu Shuzheng didn't look for them for anything, so he discussed it with Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang!

In history, they are three people who are in the same fire. In this time and space, he has become a good brother who sees the truth in adversity! It is said that they also kowtowed in front of Guan Erye, drank chicken blood wine, and prepared to die on the same day, month and year of the same year!

But today, Wu Xintian, commander of the 7th Beiyang Division, and Wang Tingzhen, commander of the 16th Beiyang Division, are sitting in this small office. Both of them went north to resist Russia in the 216th and fought for the world with deep brows, as if they had encountered something difficult.

Looking at this scene, the commanders of the four divisions of the Beiyang Army in Harbin City had all arrived. Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang both knew in their hearts that the time had come for the Beiyang Army in the Northeast to choose a way out!

The two of them glanced at each other, both with complicated expressions. Feng Yuxiang spoke first: "Brother Zheng, you have gathered us all here, are you going to send troops to fight Lao Maozi?" He patted his chest as he spoke. said loudly: "The matter of fighting the pioneer will be given to me Lao Feng!" ”

Xu Shuzheng raised his eyes and looked at him, looking loyal and brave! But those who know him know it's fake...... But this Feng Yuxiang is just hypocritical, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's not like that Chang Ruiqing! It's hypocritical, cunning, and ruthless, it's really bad!

"Huanzhang. Let's stop beating Lao Maozi, let's go back to the customs! Xu Shuzheng looked at Feng Yuxiang and said word by word: "Now we have to fight to defend Beiyang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shuzheng's office was quiet. Feng Yuxiang was stunned on the spot, while Wu Peifu looked at Xu Shuzheng with wide eyes.

Fighting to defend the North Ocean? What is the method of warfare? Could it be that he left the old Maozi, who occupied half of Heilongjiang, and turned south to fight Jiang Jshi? Aren't you afraid that Lao Maozi will occupy the entire Heilongjiang and Jiang Jshi to attack back and forth?

Xu Shuzheng didn't wait for Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang to ask, so he explained: "Of course...... Harbin here will not be lost to Lao Maozi! To tell you nothing, I have reached an agreement with Jiang Jshi, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Russian Army, that Harbin and half of Heilongjiang will be handed over to the Anti-Russian Army! Our four divisions took the train south and returned to Guannei, ready to fight Chang Ruiqing! ”

"Fight with Chang Ruiqing?" Wu Peifu shook his head slightly: "Aren't Jiang Jshi and Chang Ruiqing brothers?" Will he let us go back to Chang Ruiqing's trouble? Besides...... Chang Ruiqing is now helping Sun Yat-sen fight the world. If we defeat Chang Ruiqing, won't it be equivalent to defeating Sun Yat-sen? He, Jiang J Shi, is not Sun Yat-sen's person? ”

Wu Peifu's words fell, and Xu Shuzheng said categorically: "Brother Ziyu, you don't have to worry about this!" I have already reached an agreement with Jiang Jishi's secret envoy, and you don't have to worry about the deal between me and him. Anyway, he'll let us in...... And he will also send the Second Army and the Third Army to take over the defense of Harbin. At that time, our four divisions will get on the train at the same time and leave, first go to Changchun, where they will change to the train prepared by the Japanese and return to Beijing, and they will be absolutely safe on the way! Now what we have to consider is not whether to return to Beijing, but what to do after returning to Beijing? ”

Wu Peifu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer Xu Shuzheng's question. Slowly turning his gaze to Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang's face was already gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "What else can I do?" Fight with them, of course! Now we have four divisions here, the 13th and 15th divisions in Beijing, the first division in Chahar, the fifth division in Shandong, the second division in Hubei, the sixth division in Jiangsu, and the 12th division in Jiangxi...... The army that can be called up has fourteen divisions and three brigades! They are all elites who have been in the army for many years. There are also the Dingwu Army in Xuzhou, the Anwu Army in Anhui, and the local troops and mixed brigades in various provinces. The total number of troops is not less than hundreds of thousands, why can't we fight with the national government! ”

Wu Peifu said in a deep voice: "Where's the salary?" Hundreds of thousands of troops, without tens of millions of salaries, this battle can't be fought! ”

Xu Shuzheng said coldly: "Ask the Japanese to borrow it!" Regardless of whether it is Germany's rights and interests in Shandong, or the extension of the lease period of the Eastern Railway, or the extension of the lease period of Kwantung Prefecture, we can agree that as long as we can borrow military salaries, we can fight to the death with the Nationalist Government! ”

"That's a traitor!" Wu Peifu stomped his foot.

Xu Shuzheng's face was so blue that it was about to turn black, and he snorted disdainfully: "The national government has not betrayed the country? He Sun Yat-sen and Jiang J Shi did not betray the country? They don't betray their country, why did both the Russians and the Japanese support them? Is this country only allowed to sell those surnamed Sun and surnamed Jiang, and we are not allowed to sell them in Beiyang? ”

Wu Peifu wanted to say something. Xu Shuzheng said to himself: "I will bear the charge of betraying the country!" As soon as we entered the city of Beijing, we immediately launched a coup d'état and asked President Feng Da and Wang Pinglao to step down. I'll be the Supreme Consul! I'm going to sell the country to raise money...... After this battle, I will resign and go to the wilderness regardless of victory or defeat, and I will never ask about the world again! But for now, you must support me, and to support me is to support yourselves! Saying that, he stood up suddenly, raised his voice and said loudly: "Our Beiyang has reached the last moment, and if we don't fight, we will be completely disintegrated and eliminated by Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing!" And defeat without a fight! Die without a fight! In the future, history will give us the same evaluation as Meng Chang! It's 400,000 people who have taken off their armor, and none of them are men! ”

Speaking of which. Xu Shuzheng's eyes were already full of tears, and seeing that Wu Peifu was still bowing his head and saying nothing, he suddenly took out the **** and handed it to Wu Peifu. cried and said: "Brother Ziyu, I really can't watch Beiyang perish like this!" If you don't help me, you'll shoot me!" I'm going to see Yuan Gongbao. I'm going to see Li Zhongtang......"

Seeing Xu Shuzheng say this, Wu Peifu could only sigh: "Another Zheng, what are you doing?" I didn't say I wouldn't help you...... I, Wu Ziyu, am also from Beiyang...... What the? You repeat? ”

When the four Beiyang division commanders in Harbin City planned to lead troops into the customs and have a life-and-death struggle with the Nationalist Government. Chang Ruiqing's plan to "go north to resist Russia" ran into another trouble. This morning, as soon as he walked into his office at the Guanyin Mountain Military Committee, he saw Wu Shi, the newly appointed vice minister of the army, appear in front of him with a telegram and newspaper.

"Yaoru, there seems to be something wrong in Jiangxi! The Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee of China and G got a secret report that Chen Guangyuan was ready to suppress the Anyuan Coal Miner's Union and the peasant associations in Pingxiang and Shangsu counties! A regiment of Beiyang soldiers has been transferred from Nanchang and driven over...... Therefore, Comrade Mao ZD discussed with Comrade Cai Hesen, Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Liu Sqi, Chairman of the Anyuan Coal Miner's Union, Comrade Li Lsan, Chairman of the Pingsu Poor Peasants' Association, and others. It was decided to start an armed uprising ahead of schedule! ”

And as soon as Chang Ruiqing heard the news, he almost jumped up. Chen Guangyuan wants to transfer troops to suppress the Anyuan Coal Miner's Union or something, it must be a false alarm, and what he can fight in his hands is a Beiyang 12th Division, and now he is cowering around Nanchang. On the ground in the southern part of Jiangxi Province and in Zhejiang and Hunan provinces, there are at least six armies and 18 divisions of the army flying the banner of the Nationalist Government. The total number of troops is nearly 300,000! Now Chen Guangyuan will think about nothing more than to roll up the field and go to the wilderness, or withdraw to Jiangsu with the army to join Li Chun, where is the heart to suppress the workers' and peasants' movement!

For the first time, Comrade Mao ZD's voice and smile appeared in Chang Ruiqing's mind, and this matter is the handiwork of "his old man...... Could it be that this secretary of the Central Bureau of the Central Committee and head of the Organization Department. Or do you feel that the role of the workers' and peasants' movement in this national revolution is really not prominent enough, so that you want to launch this uprising, which is really unnecessary, in order to show the existence of the workers' and peasants' movement?

In addition to messing up the social order in Pingxiang, Shangsu and other counties, and then stopping the production of the Anyuan Coal Mine and the Hanyang Iron Works for a period of time, it is probably to pull out an armed group of workers and peasants controlled by the central government...... Although he has been avoiding the emergence of the "party army", but now that the Kuomintang has a northeast king Jiang Jshi, and Mao Zd is leading the Anyuan uprising, I really don't know if when Sun Yat-sen dies, will these two parties stage another dragon and tiger fight?

But now, it is probably too late for him to stop this uprising, and it seems that he can only pinch his nose and admit it......

He sighed heavily, because the little pride he had in the current revolutionary form was also thrown out of the clouds. He said to Wu Shi in a deep voice: "You go and draft an order in the name of the military committee, agreeing to the Anyuan Coal Miner's Union and the Pingsu Farmers' Association to launch an armed uprising. As for the workers' and peasants' armed forces after the victory of the uprising...... Yu Xun, do you have any way to deal with it? ”

Wu Shi didn't think as much as Chang Ruiqing thought, this uprising seemed to him to be a bit of a snake at most, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "There are only two ways to deal with it, one is to reorganize the troops directly under the military commission and incorporate them into the sequence of the Twelfth Army." The second is to give a new number to a certain division, and let the leaders of the Anyuan Coal Miner's Union be the division commander and brigade commander. ”

"Give me a new editor's name." Chang Ruiqing suddenly showed a strange smile on his face: "How about transferring this division to the northeast again?" Jiang Jshi's troops there are still thin, and they lack reliable weapons! ”

Just when Chang Ruiqing and Wu Shi were planning to send some reliable revolutionary forces to the northeast to help Jiang Jshi. In a church near the Anyuan Coal Mine in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, Mao Zd, who had just proclaimed himself secretary of the General Front Committee of the Anyuan Uprising, was in a makeshift war room. Assign tasks by fingers.

"Have you sent guns and ammunition or anything? Don't think that the current revolutionary situation is very good, our enemy is not only the Beiyang 12th Division in Nanchang! The landlord armies in Pingxiang and Shangsu have some strength! We're going to wipe them out this time! ”

"Has the plan to reorganize the revolutionary army been completed? Remember, in accordance with the methods of the Red Army of Soviet Russia, the GCD branch should be set up at the company level, with political instructors at the company level, political instructors at the battalion level, and political committee members at and above the regimental level...... Officers at all levels should also arrange loyal and reliable GCD officers as much as possible! Be sure to keep the team firmly in the hands of GCD! All officers and political cadres must be appointed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China......"

"Are the land reform teams in Pingxiang and Shangsu counties ready? Commanded to go down. Let them pay attention to policies in the process of land reform...... It is enough to make an example of the local tyrants and inferior gentry, except for the heinous local tyrants and inferior gentry like Zhang Pengxiao, we should try not to kill those who can not be killed...... As for the authority to kill people, it will be delegated to the county poor peasant association! ”

There were more than a dozen men dressed as workers and peasants in the war room. After Mao ZD assigned the task, he ran out one by one to carry it out. The rest are some young men in military uniforms, or running in and out, passing all kinds of information and orders. Or writing and drawing around a military map.

These people were all low-level officers recruited from the Hunan army by Mao Zd Tong Guò in the relationship of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee or the Kuomintang Hunan Provincial Chairman Cheng Qian. The two leaders are named Peng Dehua and Huang Gongluo, both of whom are junior officers at the level of platoon commander and deputy platoon commander in the Hunan army, and now they have been promoted by Mao ZD to become the deputy commander-in-chief of the enemy before the Anyuan Uprising. The plan of the uprising, the establishment of the troops after the success of the uprising, and the military training of the workers and peasants who participated in the uprising were all organized by the two of them under the leadership of a group of junior officers of the Hunan army. Of course, they still have a lot of military knowledge and experience now, and what they have come up with in a hurry is also full of loopholes, if it weren't for the good time like this. This Anyuan uprising will definitely end in tragedy.

However, Mao ZD still gave full trust to this group of inexperienced junior officers of the Hunan army. After the assignment was completed, he did not ask about the specific command of the uprising, but found an empty desk in the war room, asked someone to bring paper and pencils, and began to draft a telegram to report to the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee.

The victory of this uprising is beyond doubt. However, after the victory of the uprising, how the workers' and peasants' armed forces should be stabilized and developed was a difficult problem...... Judging from the current shape of the national revolution, the victory of the revolution is just around the corner, the armed forces of the Nationalist Government are rapidly expanding, and a large number of armed warlords are also taking the opportunity to join the revolutionary ranks. A great opportunity to expand your military power! In the final analysis, after the victory of the revolution, the cooperation and struggle between the two parties will depend on the strength of each party...... In terms of controlling and developing the armed forces, the Chinese government must not lag behind the Kuomintang and Chang Ruiqing!

In his thinking at this time, Chang Ruiqing no longer seems to be a part of China's GCD!

The sound of a report suddenly sounded in the war room, alarming Mao ZD. He was a little annoyed by the interruption of his train of thought. When I looked up, it turned out to be my old friend Cai Hesen who walked in with a smile, still holding a copy of the newspaper in his hand. Looks like there's some good news coming from Guangzhou, right?

He straightened up and smiled at Cai Hesen: "Brother Runhuan, what's the matter?" Any good news? ”

Cai Hesen smiled and handed the telegram in his hand to Mao Zd: "It was an order from the Military Commission of the National Government transferred by the Central Committee, which agreed to us to launch the Anyuan Uprising, and gave us the number of the newly formed Eighth Division." The newly formed division is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission, and this division can be regarded as the armed forces of our party! In addition, the Central Committee also informed us that the Military Commission was ready to transfer the new Eighth Division to the northeast to help Jiang Jshi. Chairman Chan would like to ask for our opinions......"

When he said this, he saw that the smile on Mao Zd's face had been put away, and his eyebrows gradually frowned. Cai Hesen hurriedly asked: "Brother Run, don't you think it's bad to go to the Northeast?" ”

Mao Zd nodded slightly, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn: "How big is the plate in the Northeast?" Jiang Jshi has already entered, where is there still a place for us? Chang Ruiqing wanted to send our new Eighth Division to the northeast to cause chaos for Jiang Jishi...... But two tigers fight, one dead and one injured! In the end, he can only benefit Chang Ruiqing. ”

He stood up, walked to a map of the whole country hanging on the wall, pointed to the Xuzhou region and Henan Province above, and said to Cai Hesen: "Judging from the current situation, the decisive battle between Beiyang and the Nationalist Government will be launched in this area, and we can only go there if we want to grow rapidly...... Once the hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops are defeated, we will be able to take the opportunity to absorb a large number of scattered Beiyang officers and soldiers, and then seek space for development in the northwest...... The provinces that our party can control are not in the northeast, but in the northwest! ”

"A decisive battle? Beiyang can still fight a decisive battle with us now? Cai Hesen was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

Mao ZD's eyes were fixed on the Central Plains region on the map, and he replied calmly: "Of course! Now it is the Beiyang government and the national government that compete for the world! Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as fighting for the world without blood. If the hundreds of thousands of troops in Beiyang are not wiped out, they will not withdraw from the stage of history! Now Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing are a little taken lightly, it seems that I have to take a telegram to Guangzhou to remind him. (To be continued......) rq！！！
