"I'm a fairy banban, really when Lao Tzu's Hongwei army is muddy, the two divisions want to fight Henan, do your Spring and Autumn dream, Zhang Huaizhi, the bastard, was fierce before, why don't you squeak now, fuck, none of them are good goods." Zhao Yu held the telegram publicly sent by the central government in his hand, thinking that if he started a three-province alliance, the central government would throw a rat trap, but who would have thought that Qin Yu would be so tough and directly send two divisions into Henan.

In a fit of rage, Zhao Wei even scolded Zhang Huaizhi, if it weren't for Zhang Huaizhi pulling him to engage in the alliance of the three provinces, and making a little compromise, so that the central army could enter Henan, he, the Henan overseer, usually spoke in a quieter voice, which was much better than the current central government directly removing him from his post as overseer.

"Big brother, now Zhang Huaizhi is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself, how can he have spare time to take care of our idle affairs in Henan." Zhao Jie was attacked by Wu Peifu in Luoyang before, if it weren't for Wu Peifu's eagerness to go north, the Hongwei Army would have ceased to exist at this time, and after being reprimanded by Zhao Wei, the Hongwei Army was being reorganized at this time. And Zhao Wei now puts a lot of hope on his other younger brother Zhao Su.

"This Qin Yu is not very old, his mind is not small, he wants to swallow Shandong and Henan at the same time, and he is not afraid of being swallowed to death." Zhao Wei said indignantly, "Send a telegram to Wan Youtian, let him withdraw to Zhengzhou as much as possible, join up with the main force of our department, defend along the Yellow River, and collect ships, damn it, I don't believe that the army has no ships and can fly from the sky." Zhao Qi scolded indignantly.

Zhao Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, he is one of the more knowledgeable soldiers among the three brothers, the central power is large, and the line of the Yellow River is not only the Henan section, it is unrealistic to expect that the Feng army will not be able to get a boat to cross the river.

"Dashuai, it's not good. Oh no. The adjutant pinched the telegram and ran to the Overseer's Mansion in a panic, and before Zhao Kui's stern gaze swept over, the adjutant said hurriedly, "The First Mixed Brigade Cheng Shen announced his support for the central government in eastern Henan, and has now raised troops from the Shangqiu area, bypassing Baodequan in eastern Henan. Straight to Zhengzhou. ”

"Bastard, Cheng Shen, this anti-bone boy, should have masturbated this bastard when Lao Tzu cleaned up Zhang Xiyuan." Zhang Xiyuan was in a hurry, in the face of the menacing Central Army, Zhao Wei originally felt that the troops were not enough, and now Cheng Shen actually raised troops against him, which made the troops of the meal even more stretched, when Zhao Wei was the first supervisor of Henan, Zhang Xiyuan, the first division of Henan, was his confidant. He could be replaced as an Overseer at any time.

The situation is somewhat similar to that of Zhang Huaizhi in Shandong. The difference is that Zhao Wei won the trust of Yuan Shikai at that time, and used Yuan Shikai to transfer Zhang Xiyuan to the Beijing Military Office, and then split the Henan First Division into two mixed brigades, and divided the town into four directions with several other brigades under his command, trained the Hongwei Army by himself, and ordered his third brother to train the Henan Second Division, which can be regarded as firmly controlling the military and political power of Henan.

However, when Zhao Wei used a trick to transfer Zhang Xiyuan to Beijing. The First Division was already in turmoil, in order to avoid the First Division's mutiny, Yuan Shikai's punishment. Zhao Wei only dismantled the 1st Henan Division into two mixed brigades to facilitate command. transferred Zhang Xiyuan's henchman Cheng Shen directly to the remote Shangqiu in eastern Henan to suppress the bandits, and then used his henchman Baode Quan as the guard of eastern Henan to monitor Cheng Shen. As for the Second Mixed Brigade, it is placed near Luoyang, and it has been planted by him in the past two years, and the Second Mixed Brigade is already his descendant unit, and as for Chai Degui, he is just a puppet.

Cheng Shen was about to be forgotten by Zhao Yu. Unexpectedly, when the Fengjun army went south at this time, Cheng Shen would be the first to stand up and respond, and what made Zhao Kui feel cold now was that Bao Dequan, who he relied on as his confidant, did not block Cheng Shen in the east, but directly let Cheng Shen go east. Although he did not raise an army against him, this kind of behavior is no different from betrayal.

"Numb next door. Transfer Chai Degui, Ma Wende, Wang Qingtong, and Ding Xiangling back to Lao Tzu, plus Lao Tzu's Guard Brigade, as well as the second division, Hongwei Army, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't stop the two divisions of the Feng Army! Zhao Wei smashed the cup on the ground and smashed it with a bang, "Cheng Shen and Bao Dequan are two anti-bone boys, and when Lao Tzu relaxes his breath, sooner or later he will have to clean them up." ”

Zhao Su shook his head in his heart, the name of the Feng army was too big, the Kemeng bandits, Ping Northeast, fought fiercely on the Middle Road, and defeated the Anhui participating army in a battle. In the final analysis, he is still afraid of the Feng army, and the confidence of his own subordinates is insufficient, and Zhao Su does not have much bottom in his heart. The savings are very large, and he often owes the army, and even his guard brigade can't get a year's army, not to mention other troops, the morale of the entire Henan army is not high, and if these people want to block the surging southward Feng army, I am afraid it is really a bit hanging.

"The outstanding people of the Central Plains never thought that they would be reduced to such a point in the hands of Zhao Kui." Liang Zhongjia brandished a horse whip, as the commander of the first group to go south, Liang Zhongjia of course has a car to do the armor, but the road conditions in Henan are not good, sitting on the top of the car can top the stomach and intestines can be pinched out, there is a place to raise horses in the northeast, this time the army went south along the Jinghan Road, and after entering the territory of Henan, the speed slowed down. Looking at the dilapidated countryside along the oil line, Liang Zhongjia shook his head, seven or eight years ago, in addition to the provincial capital, most places in Fengtian were also like this, for a long time in Fengtian, Liang Zhongjia did not think, but at this time, he went south, passed through Zhili, to Henan, and saw this qiē in the Guannei, Liang Zhongjia felt that the northeast had changed so much. Those who don't have food and tattered clothes don't know themselves, and now in the Northeast, no matter how poor people are, they have a bite to eat.

"Shizuo, Wan Youtian ran away and retreated to the direction of Zhengzhou!" Soon, the forward signal corps reported the movements of Wan Youtian, the guard of northern Henan in Puyang City.

"I'm also going to let your 13th division warm up in Puyang, I didn't expect this Wanyoutian to be so clever, it seems that Zhao Zhouren is planning to defend the Yellow River with natural danger, but it's a good idea to fight." Liang Zhongjia couldn't help but laugh and said, "This Zhao Zhouren really uses the old style of Yijun, and I don't look at what age it is now, shoot a telegram and inform Zhang Wenyuan." Hurry up and rush to Yuanyang County, and before the arrival of the army, be sure to repair the advance airport. ”

"Yes, Master!"

"Division, Henan mixed into a brigade Cheng Shen sent a telegram. Willing to fight Zhao Wei with the Central Army, he has now led his troops to set off from Shangqiu and enter the front line of Kaifeng! ”

"Shizuo, Yu Xitian Zuolin abandoned the city and went to Liu Zhenhua in Shaanxi."

"Our army has not yet arrived, this Henan Province is a mess, now Henan Province is at your fingertips, if the commander is a little bigger, transfer one or two divisions into Shaanxi. I am afraid that the situation in Shaanxi has almost calmed down, and Chen Shufan should not have the determination to resist the central government, and the situation in Shaanxi is much more complicated than in Henan. Ji Yun shook his horsewhip and said a little unwillingly.

"Solve Zhao Wei first, take the Gongxian Arsenal in your hands, you can put pressure on Zhili in the north, and you can threaten the two lakes in the south. If you really enter Shaanxi, the road is difficult. Tongguan is dangerous, and it is also difficult to fight. Liang Zhongjia shook his head and said. Besides, which provinces are easy to fight and which ones are difficult, do you think the commander is not clear? This matter is considered by the marshal, what do we do with so much thought. ”

"Mr. Consul, I heard that you are a China expert and have devoted yourself to studying Chinese culture for many years. Haven't you heard of the word "前倨後恭"? "The second cluster of the east road to Shandong continues to assemble on the Jinpu Road, and at this time the first cluster of the west road has entered Henan, approaching Zhengzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Henan will not be long before it will be captured, originally because of the turbulent situation in Beijing because of the Anhui War. Under the strength of the central government, it has been diluted a lot. At this time, Qin Yu had already established himself in Beijing, and he had been busy for a while these days, and Qin Yu was rarely a little leisurely at this time.

At this time, Kolchak in Russia was defeated by Tonotsky, the founder of the Bolshevik Red Army, and Frunze, the general with troops. Kolchak's 150,000-strong army collapsed all the way east, and it was completely untenable under the pursuit of the Soviet Russian Red Army, and at this time the strength of the Soviet Russian Red Army rose sharply, and it was already able to draw its hands to aid the Red Russian guerrillas in the Far East.

The territory of Russia is too vast, sparsely populated, and the vegetation is abundant. There were towering trees everywhere, and thousands of people drilled into them, but they couldn't find a single shadow. Even though Japan had invested more than 70,000 people in the Russian Far East at this time, it could still only defend some important towns along the railway. From time to time, the railroad was blown up by the Red Russian guerrillas. On the contrary, the vicinity of Boli, which had fought a battle with the Northeast Army, seemed to be relatively calm, after all, Boli gathered an independent cavalry brigade at this time, and a divisional cavalry regiment.

Such a scale of cavalry is enough to cover a considerable area, most of the special operations brigades are also active nearby, plus the military discipline of Boli's Northeast Army is much better than that of the Japanese army, and the nearby White Russians are also willing to live under the rule of the Northeast Army, which makes Boli overcrowded for a while, and the total number of Russians living nearby has exceeded 50,000.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese side hit Qin Yu with the idea, that is, Japan, the formation of the cavalry is also very small, and the scale of the cavalry cannot be compared with the Northeast at all. The dilemma faced in the Russian Far East also forced Japan to temporarily make overtures to Qin Yu.

"Your Excellency, although our country has many misunderstandings with you, we do have common interests on the question of the Russian Far East. How can some misunderstandings affect the basis of cooperation in the Russian Far East? Kohata Yukishi's eyelids jumped and he said.

"The basis for joint cooperation, isn't it?" Qin Yu said with a smile, "In this Anhui War, your country not only helped Duan Qirui pull such a large army, but when the war broke out, the troops were increased by a large number of troops, and the troops on the Korean border and in the Far East continued to be increased, what about holding brigade-level exercises?" ”

"Your Excellency, you have to look forward, at least now our country is no longer an enemy of you, and there has been an agreement between the two sides on the question of the Russian Far East." Xiao Wan couldn't compete with Qin Yu on this kind of issue, so he immediately chose to avoid the important and ignore the authentic.

"I have provided a lot of support to your country, and the supply of ammunition, food, medicine and other supplies is very timely. If you want more support, that's impossible. Qin Yu shook his head and said, it must be false to say that there is no resentment against Japan, if it were not for the main force of the Northeast Army being held back by Japan, only two or three more divisions would need to be transferred south, and it would not be difficult to bring Hubei or Shaanxi under the rule of the central government. At this time, the situation in the north had changed, although Japan was anxious for a while because of the lack of troops. However, Red Russia also rose further, and Qin Yu paid more attention to the land around the Great Khing'an Mountains than in Guannei.

The Northeast now has a tendency to become the industrial center of the entire Republic of China, whether it is out of the recovery of the lost territory of the previous Qing Dynasty, or out of the need for self-preservation, Qin Yu has to push the northern border outward to a reasonable point. Otherwise, in the future, it will only be separated from Red Russia by a river, and Red Russia's bombers can directly cover any corner of the Northeast, which Qin Yu and the entire Northeast Army will not accept in any case. Just as the historical Red Russia broke its word and chose to control Outer Mongolia again, and continue to occupy the Chinese territory previously occupied by Tsarist Russia. Red Russia also needs to control Outer Mongolia. Avoid the risk that the Trans-Siberian Railway will be cut off by the Republic of China at any time and shake its rule in the Far East.

At this time, Kolchak had already failed, and the Red Russian army was rolling eastward, and as for the corrupt Seminov, who was like Zhao Qi in the Republic of China, he was simply unbeaten, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to expect him to be able to keep the Red Russian Red Army out of Amur Province. This matter still has to rely on the Northeast Army. In addition, he took advantage of a foreign war to mobilize the troops of the various provinces in the Guannai. Achieving the effect of weakening the local government and increasing the cohesion of the central government is a plan for Qin Yu to kill several birds with one stone.

"Everything has a price, and the patrol has made Your Excellency have a large surplus of troops in the northeast, and in Heilongjiang Province and Boli alone, more than 60,000 troops have been gathered. As long as you nod your head from the tour, you and I can achieve the goal of carving off the Russian Far East. ”

Kohata Yukichi said seductively. At the beginning of the Anhui War, the Japanese side had not explored the possibility of taking the opportunity to enter Heilongjiang, but after a little inquiry, they couldn't help but be shocked. Even if Qin Yu entered the customs, at such an important moment in deciding the ownership of the Beijing regime, he still had the spare strength to deploy a considerable number of troops in Heilongjiang and Mukden at the same time to prevent and contain Japan. In view of the fact that Qin Yu had stabilized the situation in Beijing, and by the way, he also oppressed his direct family to bow down temporarily, and the Russian Far East, which Japan originally expected, was a fat cake, but now it has become a big quagmire, and under the four eyes, only the Northeast can help Japan get out of this swamp at this time.

"In fact, it is not impossible for me to help your country stabilize the situation in the Far East, but I am very dissatisfied with what your country has done around the northeast before, and your country must promise the following points." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Please also make it clear to your Excellency." Kohata said with joy in his heart.

"First, your country's troops on the Korean border must all be withdrawn and restored to the previous level."

"It's nature." Kohata nodded and said, the cancellation of these military operations on the Japanese side will also save some military spending.

"Second, your country has signed a tariff agreement with China, agreeing that China's tariff autonomy and the right to adjust tariff rates."

"Thirdly, your country wants our help in sending troops to quell the Red Russian guerrillas in the Russian Far East, and whether or not to go to war is up to our army to decide according to its objectives. In addition, the military expenses of the operation shall be borne by your country. ”

"Your Excellency, if you agree to your country's tariff autonomy, do you still have to worry about this military spending?" Kohata said unhappily that just by agreeing to the independence of the Republic of China's tariffs and raising them by two to three percentage points, Japan would have to pay an extra 10 or 20 million in taxes a year on goods imported into the Republic of China.

"Mr. Consul, the Northeast has suffered a series of major wars, in addition to the integration of the forces in the Guannei, coupled with the previous Boli War, the military expenditure is very large, you have cooperated closely with Duan Qirui before, you should also know how embarrassed my country's central finances are, and I am also helpless." Qin Yu spread his hands and said, "Even if my country raises tariffs, a large number of businessmen from your country will pay taxes, and the direct loss of your government will not be much." ”

"It's a big deal, and we'll reply to your Patrol Envoy another day." Xiao Wan said goodbye with a calm face, he had long known that Qin Yu was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be even more tricky than the rumors. (To be continued......)
