"Brigade commander, this is a telegram jointly sent by the three governors of the Yangtze River."

Chang Ruiqing abruptly stood up from behind his desk, strode over, and took the telegram from a tiger-looking young officer.

That person was his new adjutant, a native of Tongshan County, Jiangsu, named Xu Haoyu, whose name was Yunfei, and he graduated from Yantai Naval Academy. It is said that he is also of the same clan as Xu Shuzheng (a far, far relative). However, this person joined the 31st Mixed Brigade not recommended by Xu Shuzheng, but Chang Ruiqing's father-in-law Wang Fusheng introduced him, it turned out that this graduate of the Naval Academy was not from Fujian, so he could not enter the system of the Fujian Navy at all, and after graduating from the Naval Academy, he simply lost his job and went home to the local master!

Later, I didn't know why I left Wang Fusheng's door, so I came to join Brigade Commander Changda. Chang Ruiqing saw that this person had gone to the Naval Academy, could speak fluent English (the Naval School and Baoding Military Academy had foreign language classes), and he could write well, so he stayed by his side as an adjutant.

Chang Ruiqing's staff Jin Yongyan, as well as Bai Chongxi and Wang Junhao, were also in the office banquet, and they couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw Chang Ruiqing's reaction. They all came to discuss with Chang Ruiqing how to deal with a vote of land snakes after entering Fujian, and the militia in northwest Fujian is very strong!

As Chang Ruiqing's henchman, who of them still doesn't understand Chang Da's plans? The next step for the first mixed brigade is to take root in Fujian. And these militia forces in northwest Fujian, if they can be used for their own purposes, they will naturally be like a tiger with wings, but at present, Li Houji asked Chang Ruiqing to obtain Wang Qi to be the guard of Longyan Town, and did not transfer Wang Qi's 11th mixed brigade from northwest Fujian, isn't this clearly letting Chang Ruiqing and Wang Qi eat dog in northwest Fujian? When the time comes, who will those militia groups in northwest Fujian stand on? I'm afraid I can figure it out with my heels......

This Li Houji is much more difficult to deal with than imagined! How to solve such a situation, how to collect the militia in northwest Fujian, and how to collect the 11th mixed brigade for their own use, thinking about it is a headache!

But at this moment, the three governors of the Yangtze River also ran out to join in the fun, and jointly sent a telegram.

I don't know what I want to do?

Chang Ruiqing took the copy of the telegram and hurriedly opened it, read it at a glance, and sighed softly.

This period of history has not completely deviated from the original track, and Feng Guozhang really made a move!

His descendants are the three governors of the Yangtze River, Li Chun, Chen Guangyuan, and Wang Zhanyuan jointly issued a telegram for the Lord and the Emperor! Demands for the cessation of the war in Hunan, the withdrawal of Fu Liangzuo, the improvement of the cabinet, and the peaceful settlement of the dispute between the north and the south!

This is a slap in the face of Duan Qirui! was forced to dismantle the Beiyang platform, and also gave Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang a good opportunity to turn the tables, this Feng Gong, his grandfather, turned out to be Zhang Xueliang in Beiyang!

It seems that it is really a wise choice that he did not go to Beiyang...... Even the president eats inside and out, and a small mixed brigade commander can still have the power to return to heaven?

But the problem is that the "withdrawal of Mongolia" and his own aid to Fujian will not change much, right?

Chang Ruiqing frowned, handed the copy of the telegram to Jin Yongyan, and waved his hand to signal Xu Haoyu to retreat. Jin Yongyan glanced at the telegram and sneered: "Yaoru, it seems that the drama of the battle between the government and the court is going to be staged again, and this Beiyang will not stop if he doesn't play himself to death!" Bai Chongxi also took the telegram and looked at it, frowning slightly: "Now that the three governors of the Yangtze River have reconciled, the southwest side will not be without expression!" I'm afraid that there will be a relaxation in Fujian, so we have to hurry up! Chang Ruiqing's expression also became grim, he had just bought 200,000 plus a charming Wu Yan'er to "buy" the Longyan Town Guard and the Northwest Fujian Bandit Suppression Supervisor...... Don't let the War Department transfer to Jiangsu somewhere with an order, so that the silver bullets and meat bullets will all be empty!

"By the way, is Feng Huanzhang's old mixed brigade still in Pukou?" Chang Ruiqing thought for a while, then turned around and asked again.

"It's still in Pukou." Wang Guanhao replied: "According to the plan, they should enter Fujian with us, and then go to Guangdong under the unified command of Li Houji, but they don't move when they arrive at Pukou and don't know what they are doing?" "What else can you do? Tear each other down! Jin Yongyan sneered disdainfully: "As soon as the power of the three governors of the Yangtze River was launched, Feng Yuxiang blocked Pukou again, the northern soldiers could not come, and the situation in Hunan was not good, and several divisions in Beiyang and the Anwu army were all warless, and sooner or later people would be driven back to Hubei!" This drama of unification by force is over. "What about the Protector War in the Southwest?" Chang Ruiqing asked silently.

"Of course, it's no fun." Jin Yongyan said without thinking: "The Three Governors of the Yangtze River will send this lord and telegram to show that Lu Rongting and Feng Guozhang have already reached an agreement in private to unify by force, and neither can the Dharma Protector!" ”

Chang Ruiqing said in his heart: "This Jin Yongyan really has a few brushes, no wonder he can be Li Yuanhong's staff!" He thought for a while, then asked, "What should we do then?" "Then it depends on what you plan to do?" Jin Yongyan asked rhetorically.

"How?" Jin Yongyan touched his beard with a smile and said slowly: "Right now, Duan Qirui's side has the strength of two divisions plus a mixed brigade in Jiangnan, while Feng Guozhang's sixth division is still suppressing red bandits in Shandong, and only the local troops of Jiangduo Province and Feng Yuxiang's 16th mixed brigade can be used. "The principal means that you can dominate a piece of land in Sunan?" Chang Ruiqing raised his eyebrows. The oil and water of several plots of land on the edge of Taihu Lake in southern Jiangsu are not comparable to those in Fujian! If you can take advantage of the situation to occupy Suzhou and Wuxi, there will be no problem with millions of taxes a year!

Jin Yongyan nodded with a smile: "Li Chun is the head of the three governors of the Yangtze River, as long as he is subdued, Chen Guangyuan and Wang Zhanyuan will not be able to achieve any big climate, so Duan Zhiquan and Xu Shuzheng will most likely support your first mixed brigade to enter Jiangsu." And you still have the 10th Division and the 4th Division behind you, and Zhang Wensheng from Xuzhou in the north to echo, if you can unite with Zhang Renkui in northern Jiangsu, Li Chun will probably only be able to protect himself even if he transfers the 6th Division back to Nanjing. ”

Well! Chang Ruiqing sneered in his heart. In this way, the war in Anhui may break out in advance! At that time, no matter who wins or loses, Li Yuanhong and Jin Yongyan can always let out a bad breath! Maybe you can fish in troubled waters and get a piece of territory to become the king, right? Hubei Overseer Wang Zhanyuan is also one of the three governors of the Yangtze River, Feng Guozhang's henchman, if the direct line fails, this will naturally go home to the wilderness to hug his grandson, and it is difficult to say whether the Hubei Overseer will fall into the hands of Li Yuanhong again. It seems that this staff member of his own is still thinking about something else......

"What do you think?" Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly, but asked for the opinions of Bai Chongxi and Wang Junhao.

"No, no." Bai Chongxi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head again and again: "Sunan is a place of ointment, but there are many eyes staring here. Now that Yang Shande has won the Zhejiang overseer, Lu Yongxiang has not yet landed! Even if you knock down Jiangsu, it will definitely be cheaper for him in the end, and you will be a Suxi town guard in the sky. Moreover, the southern Jiangsu region has always emphasized literature and light military ..............., and it is not easy to recruit troops and expand the army if you are rich! As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce elite soldiers! Wang Junhao also echoed: "I also agree with Jian Shengfu's view, we can't just look at the immediate interests and ignore the long-term and overall situation. If the two departments of Zhiwan fight because we are stationed in southern Jiangsu, the matter of Mongolia's withdrawal will be in vain! ”

Chang Ruiqing's face also became solemn: "Self-reflection is right, now is not the time to intensify the contradictions between Zhihui and Anhui, let's go to Fujian for development as originally planned." He also instructed Bai Chongxi: "Brother Jiansheng, you personally go to Wusongkou to contact the navy and ask when they can leave?" Seeing that Chang Ruiqing did not listen to his own advice, a look of disappointment slipped on Jin Yongyan's face, but in an instant, he smiled and reminded: "Yaoru, we are in Shanghai thanks to Lu Zijia's hospitality, and now that we are leaving, we should come to visit again, maybe the other party will have something to ask us... Zang Zhiping, the envoy of Zhangxia Town, Fujian, is Lu Yongxiang's old subordinate. ”

"That's what the headmaster said." Chang Ruiqing nodded at Jin Yongyan with a smile: "Then let's go to the Shanghai Protector Envoy Yamen together, and by the way, I also ask Lu Zijia for his views on the situation?" He is the leader of our Anhui family in Jiangnan! ”

With a bang, Duan Qirui smashed a teacup and seemed to be still resentful, and smashed an inkstone with his hand, making ink all over the place. In the General Manager's Office of the State Council, several of Duan Qirui's henchmen stood aside with gloomy faces, and their chests were all rising and falling.

The telegram of the three pawns of the Yangtze River reached the State Council, and Duan Qirui's nose suddenly became crooked.

These three guys are so cranky! I don't want to think about it, they also have a share in the world of Beiyang! If the matter of military reunification is yellow this time, let Sun Yat-sen and the southwest forces become bigger, and in the future, people will come over and seize the rivers and mountains of Beiyang, and the big guys will have to go home to the wild to hug their grandson!

Duan Qirui angrily slapped the table and scolded Feng Guozhang for shameless treachery, the overseers and governors of Jiangsu and Jiangxi arranged his people according to Feng Guozhang's wishes, and the "Red Brigade" in Yimeng Mountain was also handed over to Feng Guozhang's people to suppress...... At that time, it was said that Hunan and 411 were all arranged by Duan Qirui, and now there is a big drama of the three governors of the Yangtze River!

What made Duan Qirui even more depressed was that Fu Liangzuo was also an embroidered huā pillow and came up with some stupid tricks to use the Hunan army to fight the Hunan army! Huā paid a lot of money to buy Li Youwen, the brigade commander of the Hunan army, and wanted him to deal with Lin Xiumei, another brigade commander of the Hunan army. As a result, Li Youwen's soldiers were all co-opted by Lin Xiumei, and he became a bare-pole division commander (acting commander of the Hunan First Division) and ran back to Changsha. And the direct family actually fell into the well at this time to do something about the master and electricity, which is obviously trying to force himself to go into the wilderness.

The more Duan Qirui thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but roar: "Order, remove Li Chunben from all positions!" Appointed Lu Zijia as the overseer of Jiangsu! Chang Ruiqing don't go to Fujian, and drive into Jiangsu with Lu Zijia! Oust the man surnamed Li from power!

A few of Duan Qirui's henchmen, look at me, I'll look at you, but no one went out to give orders.

Who doesn't know that Li Chun is Feng Guozhang's number one henchman? dismissed him, and the direct and Anhui lines will completely tear their faces! What's next? Zhiwan himself should kill each other! And the strength of the direct line is not weaker than the Anhui department at all, among the five divisions of the old Beiyang (excluding the first division of the banner people), the second, third, and sixth divisions are all direct people! In addition, among the second-line main forces of the Beiyang system, there are also the 8th, 12th, 15th, and 16th divisions, as well as the 16th Mixed Brigade (Feng Yuxiang's Division), whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of one division, which can be regarded as a direct force...

The two sides really want to fight regardless of decency, and it's hard to say who wins and who loses in the direct Anhui line, but the rivers and mountains of Beiyang are ready to be finished!

In the end, Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and persuaded: "Old Zhi......

Let's not consider the unity of the Beiyang? ”…… Hum! He doesn't care about a big president, so why should I, as a state minister, have to take care of the overall situation in everything? Duan Qirui's anger had not subsided, and he glared at Xu Shuzheng a few times.

Xu Shuzheng glanced at several colleagues in the room, and saw that they all bowed their heads and were silent, so he had to persuade again: "Old Zhi, don't be like Feng Hejian." He can ignore the overall situation of Beiyang, we can't do this. Besides, Jiangsu and Shanghai have always been the sphere of influence of the Kuomintang, and it is only by relying on our three divisions in Beiyang that it will be peaceful, if we fight ourselves, I am afraid that Sun Yat-sen will benefit in the end! Old Zhi, have you forgotten that Sun Yat-sen just got the twenty battalions of Cantonese troops from Zhu Qinglan, the governor of Guangdong Province! Duan Qirui calmed down a little, he had already received a secret report about Sun Yat-sen's possession of the military force, twenty battalions of soldiers were almost equivalent to a division, plus the Dian army commanded by Sun Yat-sen's Li Liejun, and the navy that Cheng Biguang brought to Guangdong, Sun Yat-sen is no longer a generalissimo!

Seeing Duan Qirui's face softened slightly, Xu Shuzheng persuaded again: "Old Zhi, let's beware of Sun Yat-sen taking advantage of the chaos to seize Fujian!" He had twenty battalions of Cantonese troops, as well as quite a few Dian troops, and he also had his supporters in Fujian......

I am afraid that the three mixed brigades that rely on Li Houji and Zang Zhiping will not be able to withstand it, so I still order Chang Ruiqing to immediately enter Fujian. ”

"What about Hunan? Let's not move Jiangsu...... Is that the same in Hunan? Duan Qirui asked rhetorically.

Xu Shuzheng sighed slightly: "Hunan also took a step back, transferred Fu Qingjie (Fu Liangzuo) as the Mongolian capital, reappointed Zhang Xunchen (Zhang Jingyao) as the overseer of Hunan, and let him lead troops to garrison Yuezhou: Tan Yanguo is still stationed in Changsha, this is considered a division of the military and the people, and we have finally put our hands into Hunan.........

"Wait!" Duan Qirui suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Xu Shuzheng: "You Zheng, you just said that Fu Qingjie was transferred to be the capital of Mongolia, what does this mean?" ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled slightly: "Of course, I want to establish the prestige of the Central Committee...... With such a great achievement as the recovery of Mongolia, the name of the Central Committee will be unshakable, and no one will dare to oppose it when we transfer troops to Hunan again! ”

"That's all?" Duan Qirui looked at Xu Shuzheng with a smile. Xu Shuzheng smiled and said: "Of course it's more than that, of course, we want to withdraw Mongolia's autonomy to have a legal basis, we are now the Republic of China, and the highest legislative organ is the Provisional Senate, so the Provisional Senate must pass a bill to revoke Mongolia's autonomy." Then the overseers and governors everywhere will take a stand! "Good!" Duan Qirui slapped his face and nodded with satisfaction. Isn't the southwest holding high some illegal banner at the moment and not recognizing Beijing's provisional Senate? Well, now the provisional Senate has passed the bill to withdraw Mongolia for you to express, and if you support it, then it is natural to recognize the legitimacy of the provisional Senate! If you object, hehe, a traitor hat will be put on by yourself! When Mongolia recovers, it will be time to justifiably crusade against the traitors and thieves!

Duan Qirui turned around and looked at Xu Shuzheng: "Is there anything else?" Xu Shuzheng nodded: "Old Zhi, Mongolia is very vast, with 16.7 million square kilometers, and a brigade in the field cannot be pacified by anything!" Elites should also be drawn from the interior to the north together.

"Tune whom? The Sixth Division? Duan Qirui asked rhetorically.

"It's better to transfer the 16th Mixed Brigade. , Xu Shuzheng analyzed: "In this three-overseer power incident, in addition to Li Chun, Wang Zhanyuan, and Chen Guangyuan, the most hard-working one is Feng Yuxiang!" His old mixed brigade was also stationed in Pukou and did not move, blocking the main road for the northern army to go south, and this person has always flaunted patriotism, as if he is the only one who is patriotic in Beiyang, and everyone else is a traitor! This time, he was transferred to Mongolia to love the country, love well, it's better to fall in love for a lifetime and don't come back! ”

"And how long will it take to pacify the ancients?" Duan Qirui asked again.

Xu Shuzheng thought for a while: "If Feng Yuxiang's troops obey the order, the Mongolian problem can be solved in three or four months at most." It's May now, and at the latest in Marutsu, you can re-wave your army south to unify the [China] country! This period of time can be used to adjust the deployment, and the subordinates can use troops against Hunan, Guangdong, and 411 at the same time! In particular, the Guangdong Road is the key to pacifying the southwest, and Lu Zijia can be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Minhan Front Army, commanding the 12th Division in Jiangxi, the five mixed brigades in Fujian, and his own 10th Division, with a total of 60,000 troops to attack Liangguang! After the victory, Lu Yongxiang was appointed as the patrol envoy of the two Guangxi and the overseer of Guangdong, Zang Zhiping was the overseer of Guangxi, and Chang Ruiqing was ...... You can give a Chaoshan town guard to do it. ”

"Okay, that's it, and Zheng, you go and send a secret message to Lu Zijia, tell him about our arrangement, and let him be ready." Duan Qirui thought about it and felt that Xu Shuzheng's method was good, so he nodded and agreed. As for how to distribute the positions of the overseers and provincial governors after the victory over the southwest, our general manager Duan still didn't think much about it.

However, such omissions do not prevent the history of China from completely forking the road at this moment (to be continued).
