Chapter 400: A Big Game of Chess (3)

Almost less than a week after the defeat of the Feng army in Xuzhou, Tibet, Shaanxi and other places were taken by the Nationalist Government one after another, and the 130,000 troops commanded by Wu Peifu also advanced in the direction of Gansu and Xinjiang.

What worried the Russian envoys the most was that they had received definite news from the Japanese that two divisions of Chinese troops led by Xu Shuzheng had entered Shaanxi and were marching in the direction of Yulin, most likely targeting the Russian-installed Outer Mongolian regime.

This made the Russian minister to China, Kuda Regent, furious, and scolded the Chinese for being bastards and actually digging into the corners of their allies at their most difficult times. Then Kuda Zev went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government and was angry at Lu Zongyu, the general director: "You Chinese are doing very dangerous things now, you must know that Outer Mongolia has always been the range of our Russian power, as an ally, you dare to peep into the range of our power, this is a very dangerous move, I ask you to stop this rude and rude behavior immediately, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by your government......

Even a lot of threats and intimidation, and then left poor Lu Zongyu and ran to the British Minister Zhu Erdian to administer justice, and Lu Zongyu yelled at people for a long time and didn't figure out what happened.

"What do we give to Russia ** or allies? When did it happen? Why doesn't Lao Tzu know the way? Everything was finally clarified when Minister Zhu Erdian came to find Zhang Zuolin, but Zhang Zuolin's first reaction almost didn't let Zhu Erdian die on the ground, who is this!

However, the British are worthy of being born diplomats, and although Zhu Erdian despises Zhang Zuolin's ignorance very much, he sits down and says: "That's right, your government signed an agreement with our British Empire, Russia, France, the United States, Japan and other countries in 1916 to join the Entente countries in the war against Germany, so legally speaking, there is no doubt that your government and the Russian government are indeed allies. ”

Zhang Zuolin simply sighed and didn't believe it, what has he been worried about lately? Before the Battle of Xuzhou, he was smooth sailing, but as soon as the Battle of Xuzhou was defeated, many problems were derived, first of all, the problem of Xiyuan loans, although Zhang Zuolin took half of the money, but the other half was spent by Duan Qirui, but in order to get the final payment, Zhang Zuolin had to agree to the request of the Japanese and inherited all the repayment obligations. At that time, I thought that I could make a fortune by going south, so I didn't care much, but as soon as Xuzhou was defeated, the south has become a tiger's ass, and if you lend him the courage to give him Zhang Zuolin, he will not touch half of it, and this Xiyuan loan will naturally change from fragrant to poisonous. The second is the Beijing government, it's okay not to enter Beijing, but when you enter Beijing, you find out that it's a mess. I don't know how Beiyang is in charge, the entire Beijing government is in debt, not to mention the pitiful amount of taxes, and the customs tariff is eighty percent used to repay the Gengzi indemnity, if it weren't for Lu Zongyu saying that he could fight for the foreign powers to exempt the Gengzi indemnity after the war, our Zhang Yushuai would have planned to turn around and go back to the northeast. Whoever gets this central government, which has a tax revenue of less than 20 million yuan a year and an administrative expenditure of almost 50 million yuan, will have a headache. The third is Yan Xishan in Shanxi, this rabbit cub is a white-eyed wolf, when he first moved into Beijing, he gave gifts and telegrams, as soon as the results of the battle of Xuzhou came out, this kid announced that he had joined the National Socialist Party, and immediately went to eye with the Nanjing government in the south. It's not that Zhang Zuolin didn't think about transferring troops to clean him up, but now the power of the south is too strong, and people are not fighting Zhili and Shandong now, which makes Zhang Zuolin scratch his head, and it's always good not to fight. But if you break the current delicate balance because you go to Shanxi, it will be a big loss......

So Zhang Zuolin is annoyed by these rotten things these days, and his head, which was originally hairless, has now become brighter. Annoying, the problem still has to be solved, so Yang Yuting, who had placed Wang Zhengting in Shanghai before, had to be cheeky and go south again, what to do, negotiate with the national government, find out, and see how much living space people are willing to give to the Fengjun of the old Zhang family. As for the northwest, southwest, it doesn't matter, if Wang Zhenyu, a little bastard, likes it, it's not impossible to take the name of Beijing, the central government, although it is a little heartache, but it is better than being eliminated by others.

Zhang Zuolin made up his mind, if he was really forced to have no choice this time, he would take his army back to the Northeast Army and ask the Japanese for help (although they didn't have any good intentions to know that they didn't have any good intentions), and when the strength was enough, he would go out to settle accounts with Wang Zhenyu.

In Nanjing, on September 21, Wang Zhengting, member of the State Council of the National Government of the Republic of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, looked at Yang Yuting, who was sitting opposite him, with a relaxed and comfortable expression. Ten days ago, it was this bastard who put himself along, and suddenly turned from talking about peaceful reunification to a military crusade, and after returning to Nanjing, he was ridiculed by many people as incompetent. And the world is really impermanent, and in just half a month, Yang Yuting's ass honestly returned to the negotiating table. Wang Zhengting was proud and secretly envied Wang Zhenyu, at a young age, he actually held such an invincible tiger and wolf division of the youth army in his hand, and the Feng army, who was originally frightened of the whole China, was actually beaten in just one fight.

Yang Yuting also has no choice, in essence, when you win the battle, everyone is competing for the lead, and if you lose, you can't hide and win, otherwise why is it that Li Hongzhang is always the one who can do diplomacy in the former Qing Dynasty? It's not really because Li Hongzhang is good at foreign affairs, but the Qing army always loses battles, so other princes and ministers cherish their feathers, anyway, no matter how much the court doesn't affect his life, why should he risk being scolded to do foreign affairs?

But errands always have to be done, and Yang Yuting came to Shanghai with a bumpy and uneasy heart. As soon as he got off the boat, he was told that Minister Wang Zhengting was very busy and could not come to Shanghai, and if he wanted to continue the peace talks, he might have to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government Council.

There was no way, who let the brothers below fight the skill of the war, and in less than three hours, the army of five brigades was picked up. That is, he knows what kind of character Zhang Zongchang is, otherwise ordinary people will definitely be thought by Yang Yuting that he is lying about the military situation. If it is true, then the combat effectiveness of the Youth Army is a bit unusual. In history, in the Feng army without Guo Songling, Zhang Zongchang's army was almost synonymous with being able to fight, and the combat effectiveness of this army was once so strong that even the master was afraid. During the Second Northern Expedition, the Feng army was defeated and retreated, and Zhang Zongchang with 50,000 remnants intended to retreat to the Northeast Pass, but was rejected by Zhang Xueliang, because Zhang Xueliang was very afraid that Zhang Zongchang, a tiger general, would eat the master after leaving the pass. The final result was that Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition army was surrounded and disarmed by Bai Chongxi's Shuai Gui army under the Shanhai Pass, and withdrew from the stage of history......

Since it is a tiger whisker like Zhang Zongchang, a fierce general brother who does not dare to brush it again, then there is naturally no second one in the Feng army who dares to jump out and fight the youth army again.

Therefore, Yang Yuting obediently took his entourage all the way to Nanjing by the No. 4 special train of the Nanjing-Shanghai Line of the National Government (there are seven special trains, and the No. 1 special train is exclusively for the chairman, vice chairman, and speaker of the National Government. The No. 2 special train is for the exclusive use of the Military Commission system, the No. 3 is for the system of the Government Council, the fourth is for the exclusive use of foreign guests and visitors, the fifth is for the exclusive use of the national security system, the sixth is for the exclusive use of the Academy of Sciences system, and the seventh is dedicated to the party affairs system, which departs once a day, and the number of trailers depends on the number of passengers and the grade).

After the Battle of Xuzhou, Nanjing once again returned to its former prosperity, with the flow of people coming and going, the flow of people, all kinds of shops, and a dazzling array of goods. He had also been to Nanjing, but he was surprised that he could become so prosperous in just a few years. It's a pity that the Feng army was defeated, and these things have nothing to do with them.

Although Wang Zhengting plans to walk Yang Yuting, the treatment that should be given still has to be given, after all, at present, Yang Yuting represents the central government of the Republic of China, although the scope of the central government's decree has been equated with the actual control of Fengjun. As soon as Yang Yuting and his entourage got off the bus, they were greeted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government in accordance with the treatment of ministers in a convoy of four Ford cars. He Wenchang, who had been transferred to the security system, was much luckier than Long Yunfei, he was transferred back to the field army and participated in the formation of the first cavalry unit of the Youth Army, which was formed in Wuhan. The tall horses have been allocated to this ceremonial squadron of fifty people, and the horses of the First Cavalry Brigade are all Yunnan horses, and it is estimated that they will be replaced by purebred Mongolian horses when they arrive in Mongolia.

Strictly speaking, after more than a year of development, the seat of the National Government, the former Nanjing Tianwang Mansion, the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and the Left-behind Mansion are no longer a comprehensive office space. The chairman and vice chairman of the national government do not work here, they are all in Daxing Palace, not far from the road. Members of both houses of the National Assembly also moved into the new National Assembly building (a 40-acre classical Chinese building, a reference to the Shanghai government of the Kuomintang in the Republic of China), and the Kuomintang headquarters moved to Wuhan under an excuse (which was also Wang Zhenyu's decision to curb the expansion of party power and cover up the supremacy of military power). Although there is still a signboard of the National Government here, only the ministries of the Government Council of the National Government are actually working here.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in the No. 4 Red Building, the No. 1 Red Building is the Prime Minister's Building, the No. 2 Building is the Political Councilor Building, the No. 3 Building is the Ministry of Finance Building, the No. 4 Building is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building, and the No. 5 Building is the turn of the Ministry of National Defense......

When Yang Yuting entered this magnificent government building by car, he had to shake his head and sigh: "It's become a climate......
