Chang Ruiqing pondered for a moment: "It's safe to be so safe...... But the overthrow of the Beiyang government will inevitably be postponed to the ninth year of the Republic of China, right? That was 1920. Zixiu, is it a little late? ”

Lu Yixuan frowned: "Brother Yaoru, don't you really want to compete with Jiang J Shi for the name of who is the first in Beijing?" Right now, in the national government, your power is big enough. Most of the middle and senior officers of the National Revolutionary Army are your Baoding classmates, and most of the junior officers are from Huangpu, and the Huangpu Military Academy is now in our hands...... Are you still worried that Jiang J-shi will advance to Beijing? ”

Chang Ruiqing shook his head, leaned over and said in Lu Yixuan's ear, "Is there a monthly pass for the 222nd Championship Three?" "Zixiu, let's be honest with you. I don't worry about Jiang Jshi at all, otherwise, with the situation in the northeast and the power of the vice chairman of the Military Commission, it would not be easy to damage him? What I'm really worried about is Soviet Russia! Now he himself is about to make a move against Belarus in the Far East, and if Kolchak loses the Far East, he will lose the lines of communication in Siberia, and his hundreds of thousands of Belarusians will not be able to last long without logistics...... If we can't advance the national revolution to the whole country before the Russian GCD unifies Russia, I fear that they will take the opportunity to invade Mongolia or Xinjiang! It is even possible to establish a GCIST regime in the western part of China......"

Lu Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while, but Chang Ruiqing had already picked up the military hat on the table, put it on his head upright, and smiled at Lu Yixuan: "The General Staff still has to prepare the plan for the second phase of the Northern Expedition. In addition, this phase of the plan also needs to be worked out in detail, and I will see the draft within a week. By the way, I will now go to the Shimin Soil Factory to meet Mr. Sun and discuss with him about the rebellion against the Beiyang Army...... Do you still have a monthly pass with Wu Yuxun at my house tonight for the first 222nd and the third place? Let's discuss the decisive battle with Beiyang together. ”

Seeing Chang Ruiqing walking out with high spirits, Lu Yixuan was a little distracted. He has been following Chang Ruiqing for only two years, but he didn't expect to get to his current position step by step. The victory of the national revolution is just around the corner, and Chang Ruiqing is the second person in China. If the actual power is not under Sun Yat-sen, right? It's just that I don't know if these two will be able to unite and cooperate in the political arena of China in the future...... There still seems to be some disagreement between them! I hope there won't be any more things to fight for.

Lu Yixuan sighed softly in his heart, and turned his head to pay attention to the situation in the northeast, Jiang Jishi's hundreds of thousands of troops are now concentrated in the central region of Heilongjiang. Preparing for war with about 60,000 Russian troops! His mood couldn't help but get complicated, if this Jiang Jishi wins, his prestige will also rise, and Zhun Bao will be Chang Ruiqing's fierce opponent in the future! But if he loses. I'm afraid it's even more troublesome...... Not to mention the complete erosion of North Manchuria, even the status of the entire Nationalist Government in the international arena is impossible to talk about, right? If only Jiang J Shi could die honorably while winning the war! I don't know if Chang Ruiqing has such an arrangement?

……

Just when Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing on the Guangzhou side were bent on overthrowing the reactionary rule of the Beiyang warlords in one fell swoop. In a small parlor in the deepest part of the ruling government in Beijing's Tieshi Hutong, a dignified-looking man in his 60s, wearing the uniform of a tweed general of the Beiyang Army, was sitting on the top seat with a restless expression. The eyes seem to be looking in the direction of the living room door. A small staff officer in the ruling government was drinking tea with him, and he kept telling each other some things about Chang Ruiqing.

“…… Speaking of which, I am also acquaintances with the surname Chang, and I saw him when I accompanied Xu Zhenggong to Baoding to inspect the military academy in the 5th year of the Republic of China. This person looks like a talent, and his grades in the Baoding Military Academy have always been the first, and he has a clever mouth and is particularly capable of blowing, and he is still a fellow villager of Zheng Gong, so Zheng Gong intended to promote him, but he didn't expect that he knew people and faces. In the end, it turned out to be a white-eyed wolf. I want to help Sun Cannon to oppose our Beiyang ......"

The man listened to the little staff officer talking bad about Chang Ruiqing, and he just smiled, this person was the former general of the Beiyang system intelligence, Lu Jianzhang, who was the commander of the guard army and the director of the Military and Political Law Enforcement Division, and Feng Yuxiang's in-law. In history, he and Xu Shuzheng were intolerable, but in this time and space. Since Feng Yuxiang and Xu Shuzheng formed an alliance, he naturally became close to Xu Shuzheng. At present, the official worships the Minister of the Interior of the Beiyang Government. is in charge of the police in the north, and Beiyang is not divided into police and special. So he is now the head of the Beiyang spies. He came to govern the government today precisely to discuss with Xu Shuzheng the strategy to deal with Chang Ruiqing.

The sound of military boots outside the door sounded, and then it sounded: "Archon Xu has arrived!" Roll call. Lu Jianzhang and the little staff officer stopped talking, they all stood up solemnly, and when they saw Xu Shuzheng walking in, they still stood up and saluted. Xu Shuzheng hurriedly waved his hand at Lu Jianzhang and said with a smile: "General Lang Zhai is a senior, you can't afford your military salute, please sit, please sit." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the staff officer again, and the man left in a funny way, leaving only Xu Shuzheng and Lu Jianzhang in the entire living room.

After the two sat opposite each other, Xu Shuzheng sighed: "I just met the British Minister Eston, and he is still the same, and he verbally supports our Beiyang, but he will not agree to ask for money and arms, and he wants us to agree to transfer Germany's rights and interests in Shandong to Japan at the Paris Peace Conference...... General Lang Zhai, it seems that there is no clever plan, and I am afraid that our Beiyang gas is coming to an end. ”

Lu Jianzhang nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and sighed: "Huanzhang also told me, now our Beiyang is using 300,000 to fight the 1.3 million of the national government!" And the soldiers of Beiyang may not be much stronger than them...... Although Wu Ziyu is still full of confidence, a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that it is to calm the army's heart. It seems that the current situation must use some extraordinary means to reverse the decline! ”

Hearing Lu Jianzhang talk about extraordinary means, Xu Shuzheng nodded slightly. He originally liked to engage in this kind of trickery, and he and Lu Jianzhang also had the same smell, and today he invited Lu Jianzhang to come over for a secret talk, the purpose was to discuss extraordinary means with him. Since the other party mentioned it first, it was naturally no better.

Lu Jianzhang's voice had been lowered, and he said eloquently: "Now the military situation is difficult to open, according to Wu Ziyu's plan, we will shrink our forces to the Central Plains, south of the Huai River and west of Tongguan...... In this way, we only have three reliable turf left: Henan, Shandong, and Zhili. There are also Jingshi, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places. The whole is surrounded by the forces of the national government, although he has the advantage of fighting on the inside line, Wu Ziyu can also be regarded as good at fighting. But that Chang Ruiqing is not an idle person! His method is not only on the battlefield, I am worried that Chang Ruiqing will make some conspiracy and tricks to make our Beiyang end up defeated without a fight, which is more unwilling than losing on the battlefield with real swords and guns! ”

Xu Shuzheng nodded again and again: "That's right." Exactly...... It's not Sun Cannon who is really terrible in the south, we have been fighting with him for so many years, and we have always had the upper hand! Until this surnamed Chang joined forces with Sun Yat-sen. Speaking of this, he snorted coldly, leaned closer to Lu Jianzhang, and squeezed out the words word by word from between his teeth: "In my opinion." Our only chance of winning is to find a way to assassinate Chang Ruiqing! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jianzhang on the opposite side immediately raised his eyebrows and slapped his thigh heavily, as if he was gritting his teeth and speaking: "The hero sees the same!" I have that idea too! Sun Yat-sen is not difficult to deal with...... It's a big deal that you can take refuge in the past, and change the flag of the national government to dominate one side, he is much easier to talk than Chang Ruiqing. Speaking of this, his brows twisted again: "But I'm afraid it's not easy to get rid of Chang Ruiqing...... He was almost the military commander of the Nationalist government on a par with Sun Yat-sen, with hundreds of guards around him. And it's a simple house. Rarely appears in public. I'm afraid it's hard for the killer we sent out to get close to him, right? And isn't he himself the left man of the Red Brigade? Assassination or something, he played better than us, in case the assassination failed, he wanted to take revenge on us......"

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and laughed coldly: "Don't worry about his revenge, this matter is done in my name!" After all, I have the grace to support him, and if he wants to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, he can come at me! I invited you to come just to get through your relationship in the rivers and lakes. Reach out to a few reliable killers...... It's better to be a good-looking female killer!

There is nothing wrong with this Chang Ruiqing, but he is a little lustful. It is certainly easy to approach him with a woman. As for the chances of starting, I have some clues...... General Lang Zhai, don't forget that our Fourth Division in Beiyang was brought out by Duan Zhilao! One of their brigades is now stationed in Shanghai. There are still our loyal ministers of Beiyang lurking in it. I estimate that once the Nationalist Government conquers Nanjing, most of them will move the capital to the past, and Chang Ruiqing will definitely have to go to Shanghai every once in a while. ”

Lu Jianzhang's brows furrowed even tighter. This Xu Shuzheng seems to not know Chang Ruiqing well enough, he only knows that he is lustful, but he doesn't know his caution. Chang Ruiqing almost doesn't go to that kind of **, and there is no confidante of a dusty woman around him. He seems to like some teenage girls, where can he find a female killer of this age? And the task of assassinating Chang Ruiqing must be to exchange one life for another! Where are those killers on the rivers and lakes willing to take on such a mortal mission? Looks like we'll have to think of something else.

However, he did not refuse, but nodded solemnly at Xu Shuzheng: "You Zheng, the matter of finding the killer is on me, and I will give you an answer within a month." However, an assassination is unlikely to be 100% successful, so it is best for you and me not to come forward, lest we invite unnecessary killings. ”

Xu Shuzheng looked at him with some doubts: "If we don't come forward, who will come forward?" Foreign devils? ”

Lu Jianzhang shook his head with a smile, lowered his voice and spit out two words: "Manchurian!" ”

……

Just when the two forces in the pass were plotting all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to kill each other. The army commanded by Jiang Jshi was preparing to attack Qiqihar in the midst of the snowstorm. More than 100,000 soldiers climbed the ice and snow, although it was hard, but it was quite smooth. The Russian troops stationed in Qiqihar also showed no signs of retreating, and it seemed that a life-and-death battle was about to be staged.

The chief of staff of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, who was responsible for taking the lead, was a stout and sturdy major general named Jiang Dengxuan. Well, it's the famous general of the Feng Army in history, the one who was killed by Guo Songling! However, he was not promoted by Jiang Jshi from the Feng army, but like Guo Songling, he was a subordinate of the former Guangdong Provincial Governor Zhu Qinglan, and he was the chief of staff of the First Army when the Fujian and Guangdong confluence established the National Revolutionary Army. He is also a graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in Japan, which is the so-called non-commissioned officer department, and he is also relatively close to Jiang Jshi's "fake non-commissioned officer department".

He used to lead troops in Heilongjiang (Zhu Qinglan was the governor of Heilongjiang), and he was also very familiar with the situation in the Qiqihar area. Jiang Jshi gave him the task of formulating the main attack plan this time. He is now accompanying Jiang Jshi and Chen Mingshu, the commander of the First Army, to the front line to check the terrain. The group rode up to the ice-covered heights, and he jumped off his horse and took the map from the staff officer next to him and spread it on the saddle. Jiang Jishi, Chen Mingshu and others all came around. He pointed to the Nenjiang River on the map and said: "Lao Maozi's main force is not in Qiqihar County, but in Fularji, west of the Nenjiang River, where the Eastern Railway is connected." There is an important first-class railway station there. According to investigation, Lao Maozi's headquarters is located in the Lafulji railway station. And their main force spread out along the Nenjiang River, putting on a posture of holding on to danger. But now the surface of the Nenjiang River has long been frozen solid, and even 75mm shells can't be smashed. The so-called natural insurance no longer exists. In addition, Lao Maozi's troops are limited after all, so their defense line is not very long. We can send cavalry to go around from afar, and if we can go around behind them and destroy the Eastern Railway, they will have no way back...... They Europeans don't make unnecessary sacrifices when they go to war. Once there is no way back and we can't be defeated, it is very likely that we will choose to surrender.

In addition, to the west of Qiqihar is the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the Eastern Railway also runs through Guò there. The Great Khing'an Mountains have been an area where bandits have been rampant since the end of the Qing Dynasty, if we can contact the bandits there through the relationship of the Guò Feng Army, maybe they can help our cavalry cross the Great Khing'an Mountains to raid Hailaier, where there are a large number of Russian expatriates, if we can capture them, it will also be conducive to the forced landing of the White Russians here in Qiqihar. ”

When I was talking. I saw a dozen horses hurrying into the snow below the heights. The first one was dark and thick. He also has a messy beard, and at first glance he is a bandit. This person's name is Tang Yulin, one of Zhang Zuolin's elder brothers, but Zhang Zuolin was dismissed because of the power struggle, and when Jiang Jshi entered the Northeast, he was living in seclusion in Fengtian City. Zhang Zuolin died. He took the lead and was the first to take refuge in Jiang Jshi, and Jiang Jshi did not treat him badly. He was given the appointment of the commander of an independent cavalry brigade against the Russian army, and he was also given a batch of weapons, ammunition and funds. Tell him to go and gather the old ministry. actually pulled up a cavalry of several thousand people, followed Jiang Jshi to Qiqihar, and now is the time to be in high spirits. His horse ran fast, and in a few steps he rushed in front of Jiang Jshi, and he tugged at the reins on his horse, and the tall horse stood up high, neighing, and the two front legs landed steadily. Tang Yulin immediately gave Jiang Jshi a so-so military salute.

"Commander-in-chief, our horse team just encountered the Cossack cavalry of Lao Maozi again! Eleven of them were killed, two were captured alive, and we also suffered more than a dozen brothers! ”

At present, the infantry of China and Russia has not yet begun to fight, but they are only facing each other with the frozen Nenjiang River. However, the cavalry of both sides fought fiercely on both sides of the Nenjiang River! Not only were Tang Yulin and Wu Junsheng's cavalry sent to the battlefield, but even the little southern cavalry attached to the First Army and the New First Army also went to the front.

The purpose of Jiang Jshi's arrangement was to seize control of the battlefield, compress the scope of the Russian army's activities to the Fularji area and along the Eastern Railway, and create conditions for his hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle the Russian army! Of course, this combat idea was not come up with by him, but the idea of his military adviser Muto Nobuyoshi! It seems that his own thinking is to use Jiang Jshi to "take over" the White Army of Semenov and Horvat!

Just as Jiang Jishi was about to praise the brave and combative Brigade Commander Tang Da, a few fast horses galloped over from the direction of the former enemy's command post in the rear. It turned out to be several staff officers in Jiang Jshi's headquarters, and the leader was Zhang Qun, chief of staff of the Western Advance Corps. This veteran and important minister of the Kuomintang, who was known for his elegance, didn't know what was wrong at this time, and shouted from afar.

"Good news! Good news...... Brother Kai-shek! I have just received a report from Major General Muto, the adviser of Japan, that the Vladivostok army of Japan's army has started a war against Belarus! Vladivostok and Boli had already been captured by the Japanese a few hours earlier! There was also a group of Japanese troops who landed on Sakhalin in the early hours of this morning......"

All the people present, except for Jiang Jshi, did not know that there was such a thing as the "Japan-Russia (Soviet Russia) Secret Treaty", and they were all surprised and happy when they heard the news.

Chen Mingshu, the commander of the First Army, was even more overjoyed, and turned his head to Jiang Jshi and said loudly: "Commander-in-chief, now is the best time for us to defeat White Russia!" Give the order to attack on all fronts! ”！！！
