Of course, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and others are not willing to be accused by the Northeast like this, and it is a telegram war with the Northeast at the moment, but there are really not many places to be blamed in the Northeast. The territory of the Republic of China is vast, and it is either a flood here or a drought there. The Beiyang government's finances are facing a collapse situation, and where there is still the spare strength to help hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the victims. However, in recent years, the Northeast has collected a large number of people affected by the disaster from the Guannai every year, solved the food and clothing needs of these people, distributed fields, or arranged for labor.

Although road construction and mining are drudgery, compared to the days when the day is precarious and they can't even eat, there is a job to do, and they can save some valuable savings in addition to food and clothing. However, the implementation of the education policy in the northeast and the establishment of a large number of schools are also quite well-known among intellectuals, so the accusations of the Anhui department against the northeast are inevitably a little weak.

Whenever there is a war, the belligerents always like to pull some righteous name to their side, and after a telegram scolding the war, the next step is to move seriously.

For the Feng and Anhui factions to fight soon, Beijing suddenly panicked, and sent people from both sides to appease, and the direct Cao Kun also sent his third brother Cao Ying to Fengtian at this time.

And Duan Qirui is also in full swing looking for helpers, trying his best to win over Cao Kun.

When Zeng Yujun arrived outside Cao Dashuai's house, Cao Kun was watching the opera troupe singing, and the pillar was the most famous white peony in the Tianjin opera troupe.

Although Cao Kun was a little depressed about Zeng Yujun's appearance at the wrong time, he was able to supervise the army in a province, as if he had become one of the most powerful figures in the entire Republic of China.

"Zhong Shuai. This Northeast Qin Yu is so arrogant and domineering, threatening more than 100,000 Northeast troops to go south, I think the most that can enter the customs is no more than 100,000, two years ago, Zhiwan joined forces to force Qin Yu out of the customs once, and now they can also drive Qin Yu out again. The situation is urgent, and Zeng Yujun has no friendship with Cao Kun in private. Cao Kun was watching the play just now, and obviously didn't want to talk to him about unnutritious nonsense, so Zeng Yujun went straight to the point as soon as he came.

"You mean to join forces and fight the Feng army?" Cao Kun put back the candied fruit that had been brought to his mouth, his brows furrowed.

"Fighting with the Feng army? To put it lightly, Feng Laoshuai is still alive, and now he is in Tianjin, why don't you go to him, besides, the Fengjun is known for being able to fight well, and his fame is greater than that of the army participating in the war. 150,000 Feng troops go south, what to fight? Cao Rui, the governor of Zhili Province, said mockingly, "Besides, what Qin Yu can't get used to now is that your Anfu Department controls the parliament and uses the loan from Japan to form a participating army. It is not beneficial to the country, but it is very dangerous. Fengjun Division is famous. You are fighting for the central power, so why would my eldest brother risk his life to get involved in this trouble? ”

"Governor Cao's words are wrong, don't you hear that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold? Qin Yu has been operating in the Northeast for several years, and has an army of nearly 200,000, and in the year of its establishment, it has three provinces in the Northeast. is so young and strong, it is the time when the power is at its peak, and it is still more than Xiangcheng back then. If it is allowed to control the center, its danger is not ten times worse than that of the current Anfu series? Zhili is under the nose of Beijing and bears the brunt. In the face of such a strong Northeast, I am afraid that the days will not be as comfortable as they are now, right? As for Feng Laoshuai, now that he is old and sick, he has reached the mark of dying, and the superintendent thinks that sooner or later there will be someone in the immediate family who will come out to take the lead, and this person is none other than Zhong Shuai. Zeng Yujun retorted to Cao Rui indifferently.

"That's not possible, the Northeast Army can't wait to ignore it, even if you add my eldest brother's Zhili army, there is no certainty of victory for the 150,000 Feng army, if the eldest brother does not move, the provincial overseer is still stable, besides, your Xiao Xu in the Anhui department, assassinated Lu Jianzhang some time ago, and even Feng Laoshuai can only live in Tianjin for two divisions under his command, and dare not set foot in Beijing again, so as not to encounter accidents. Although Qin Yu's Northeast Army is strong, it is still in order, and it is not all killed, Xu Lanzhou, Bi Guifang and others are still reused in the Northeast now, and their status is respected, how can they not tolerate my eldest brother? Meng Enyuan abandoned Jilin and returned south safely, and his property was not damaged, if he cooperated with you, he would not be able to prevent conflicts in the future, and he would have to worry about his life. Cao Rui said with a sneer.

"I don't know what Zhong Shuai thinks?" Cao Rui was too difficult to speak, so Zeng Yujun shifted the topic to Cao Kun.

"It's a big deal, I have to think twice about it, you go back first, and I'll give you a reply when I think clearly." Cao Kun was also a little hesitant at this time, the number of troops participating in the battle was only 100,000, and the army in his hand was only close to 60,000 even if the guards around him were counted, and in the face of the 150,000 Northeast Army, which had never been defeated since the division was launched, there was really no certainty of victory.

"Big brother, do you still need to think about this matter, I think it is because Duan Hefei did not have the certainty of winning the Feng army, so he asked to come to us, you see that when the Feng Department did not squeak before, why did Duan Hefei put you in his eyes? The tone is so tough, Duan Hefei's temper is stinky and hard, and he would rather be straight than bent. Xu Youzheng's scheming is even more commonplace, and he is ruthless, and if he partners with these people, sooner or later he will get bad things. As soon as Zeng Yujun left, Cao Rui spoke ill of the Anhui system, in fact, this guy was also strongly opposed to fighting with Zhang Zuolin's Feng army in the first Zhifeng War in history.

"Cao Ying has already gone to Fengtian to talk to Qin Yu, and he will also send a telegram to Ziyu and ask Ziyu for his opinion." Since the founding of the Republic of China, the biggest war was fought with Gongmian to protect the country, but the war to protect the country was limited to the terrain of the mountains of Sichuan, and the momentum was not small, but in fact, the scale of the war was not large. But now more than 100,000 Feng troops are about to leave the customs, this is a big battle of more than 200,000 people, and Cao Kun was only a division when he led the most people in the army, this kind of scene is beyond the scope of his control, so it is better to ask his capable generals before talking.

……………

"Yu Shuai, now the Protector Army in the south has not been resolved, and we are in chaos in Beiyang first. Isn't it a joke? If there is something that cannot be resolved peacefully, it is necessary to resort to force, and if it really wants to fight, the damage on both sides is not small, but it is Sun Cannon in the south who takes advantage. At this time, Cao Ying was in Qin Yu's mansion, looking at this patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces who was younger than his son. Cao Ying persuaded with good words.

"I regard Duan Hefei as a person from Beiyang, but he doesn't treat me as a person from Beiyang. In the eyes of him Duan and Xiao Xu, I, Qin Yu, am just a halfway monk, besides, Duan Hefei and Xiao Xu are not reckless in Beijing for a day or two, and the little foundation that President Yuan saved back then has been almost ruined, and he borrowed so much money from the Japanese, who will pay it back? Isn't it even yet? Duan Hefei is a righteous person, but the mind of being an official is too heavy. The power is stronger, and the dispute between the government and the court has been going on for so long, and everyone knows it, and then he set up a superintendent army, and as a result, Zhang Xun was tossed in Beijing for such a time. Zhang Xun ran away, Duan Hefei fell into the reputation of rebuilding the republic, if he hadn't tossed, Zhang Xun would have been able to enter Beijing? ”

Qin Yu shook his head and said disdainfully. "If Duan Hefei really has some ability to know people, then forget it. Look what the people in Anhui have done. Zhang Jingyao harmed Hunan, regarded human life as a mustard, and caused the common people to be more powerful than the other, Duan Hefei turned a blind eye. Fighting with the Southern Army all depends on the direct army to support the scene, I think if Zhong Shuai withdraws Wu Ziyu, there will be no need to fight this battle. Relying on Zhang Jingyao and Fu Liangzuo, it is rare to be able to defeat Hunan. ”

"Zhong Shuai's subordinates still have a few generals who can fight, Wu Ziyu doesn't say it, Wang Chengbin. Xiao Yaonan, Zhang Fulai are all people who know the soldiers, it's not that I praise this Haikou, as long as Zhong Shuai doesn't move, I beat the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who participated in the war, last year Lao Maozi couldn't do it, in fact, I could enter the customs at that time, but the Middle East Road was confiscated back, and I couldn't let go of it after all, compared to the struggle between domestic factions, it is more important to take back the rights and interests from the hands of foreigners, I missed a year, and the army participating in the war was trained, but the problem was not big, I had never been on the battlefield and seen the blood of the army, and the guy in my hand took it a little better, and it was not of great use. ”

After speaking, Qin Yu jokingly said again, "If Zhong Shuai has ideas about Beijing, just hold your troops and wait until I pack up the army that participated in the war, plus Zhong Shuai, and the president will govern Beijing together?" ”

"Yu Shuai has no idea about the presidency? Besides, there is still Feng Laoshuai in the direct line, where can the direct subordinate represent? Cao Ying said with some surprise, in Cao Ying's opinion, Qin Yu is in the prime of life at this time, and it should be the time when the utilitarianism is the strongest, and the Feng army can fight well, and if he is in Qin Yu's position, he must also be thinking about Beijing's orthodox position. I didn't expect Qin Yu to have the idea of standing in the center side by side with his direct line.

"Feng Laoshuai is old, and now he is seriously ill, even if his condition improves, it is estimated that he will be disheartened, and as long as Zhong Shuai nods about Beijing, it is estimated that the two of us will not be able to find it in the Republic of China." Qin Yu smiled and said indifferently, "As you said, now I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is naturally unrealistic to say that I have no idea about Beijing, but it is exactly like this, even if I reach the top in another ten years, I am too young compared to others." Although Zhili is a rich land, Zhong Shuai can raise an army of fifty or sixty thousand capable soldiers, not Zhang Jingyao and Fu Liangzuo, and I can also look at them. The Northeast can have now, and it is inseparable from the army's good fighting, so I am also quite optimistic about the ability of the direct army to fight, if it is really not capable, that kind of person will look down on it. To tell the truth, the army that the Republic of China can put in my eyes is only the tens of thousands of people under Zhong Shuai. As for Beijing's legal status, it is jointly supported by our Beiyang, and the president still has to respect it, and the internal and external voices must always be unified, if it were not for Duan Hefei, Xiao Xu and his ilk would not have considered the overall situation, and the Northeast Army's intention to enter the customs was not estimated to be so fast. ”

Cao Ying was stunned, and he didn't know whether to be happy or jealous of Qin Yu's attention, only the tens of thousands of people in his brother were valued by Qin Yu, wouldn't it mean that the current Zhili Army had become Qin Yu's subconscious biggest enemy? As for the specific number of the Zhili Army, Qin Yu also made it clear, but on the other hand, the Northeast has always been in the fog from the outside, in addition to the strict secrecy measures in the Northeast, the expansion of the army in the Northeast year after year is also an important reason.

"Is Yu Shuai serious?"

"Naturally, as long as Zhong Shuai does not move this time, there will be a place for Zhong Shuai in Beijing after the Northeast Army enters the customs." Qin Yu's tone was firm and authentic, in contrast, if Zhiwan joined forces, those provincial overseers who were originally in a wait-and-see state might not be able to stand in the opposing camp. After all, there is still some gap between Qin Yu and Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun in terms of appeal in the Beiyang system, after all, he has been outside the customs for many years, and he has not interfered much in the affairs of the customs. At this time, the troops that can be drawn from the northeast do not have an absolute advantage compared with the Zhiwan coalition army, especially the direct army is quite strong at this time, as long as there is an army that is difficult to fight, the troops participating in the war will also begin to slowly become stronger, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a disaster for the locality.

In contrast, it is entirely worth allocating some power in exchange for Cao Kun's support.

"It's a big deal, I have to report it to my brother Rin to get back to Yu Shuai." After thinking for a moment, Cao Ying didn't dare to make a rash decision.

"Well, I'll wait for Brother Cao's reply, but the soldiers are fast, and the speed of the Northeast Army's entry into the customs will not be delayed in the slightest, and I ask Brother Cao to make a decision as soon as possible." Qin Yu got up and said with a smile, "Although the participating troops are well-equipped and have invited Japanese instructors, they have never been on the battlefield, and there are few people who can command the troops. If Brother Cao can't decide, you might as well wait for the two armies to do two games before deciding it's not too late, okay, Brother Cao, you go and contact Zhong Shuai first, I still have some official business, and when things are almost busy during the day, I'll pull two people at night, let's get together a table of mahjong. Qin Yu's eyes flickered, the planes and tanks went into battle together, and first defeated the participating army, and even if Cao Kun stood on the side of the Anhui system, the Northeast Army's chances of victory would be a few points greater.

"Okay, that night, I will congratulate Hou Yushuai and say goodbye first." Cao Ying nodded, thinking that although this Qin Yu was famous, it was not difficult to get along with, and he couldn't feel anything domineering after contact. In contrast, Duan Qirui has a hard temper and reprimands people at every turn, while Xu Shuzheng is notoriously difficult, and there are not many people willing to deal with him. It can be said that Duan Qirui is gradually isolated now, and a large part of it is because of his chief thinker Xu Shuzheng. Perhaps this time the shape of Beijing will really change dramatically.

"Hmm." Qin Yu nodded, watched Cao Ying walk out, and lifted the phone again, "Hey, Li Chengwen!" ”

"Dashuai, what's the matter?"

"Cao Kun's younger brother is here, we should do our best to be a landlord, there is a table of mahjong at night, you inform Commander Sun, and you can also take Cao Ying around during the day, you can also go to the North Daying, show him a little bit of the Northeast Army's foundation, this errand is not good, you will be fined two months' salary."

"Hehe, okay, don't worry, the humble post will definitely entertain Cao Ying and let him see the strength of the Northeast Army." On the phone, Li Chengwen smiled and understood. (To be continued......)
