Zhang Dewu came over from the side at this time, and when he saw that Wu Peifu seemed to be a little unwilling, he immediately said, "Isn't it just one person." Pole, if you turn around and ask the commander, you will say that you just happened to touch her, and you can't do it. Ziyu doesn't have to say anything, I'll bear this matter with the pole. ”

Wu Peifu suddenly understood that Erzhuzi and this Russian woman might have some stories that he didn't know, and although he was curious, he really didn't say more: "Okay, listening to the gunshot, the situation seems to have changed in Kulen, let's move faster." If we miss it with Zhang Xun's troops, I'm afraid that we will wait two days for Staff Officer Zhang to be promoted to commander's wine. ”

Zhang Dewu had already received Yang Xiaolin's order, and after the assault team converged with Zhang Xun, the two forces would form the Fifth Front Army, with Zhang Dewu as commander and Wu Peifu and Zhang Xun as deputy commanders. As for whether the Fifth Front Army insisted on fighting in Kulen or withdrew to join Zhang Zuolin, it was up to Zhang Dewu to decide for himself according to the battlefield situation.

Domliksava was already stupid sitting in the No. 1 command car at this time, and her current mood was indescribable. Very angry, very helpless, and very sad. And I don't know why, when she saw the second pole, she suddenly felt that the dangers around her were far away from her, and a vague sense of security came to her heart.

The second pole didn't know how to comfort people, seeing that Domliksava didn't mess with him, his eyes looked around, the troops were chasing and killing those Russians, but the unorganized old Maozi ran without direction, a few here and a few there, it seems that it is impossible to kill them all.

"Ziyu, we may not have much time to chase, gather the team, and now we may be able to find Zhang Xun if we enter Kulun."

Wu Peifu nodded: "Okay." ”

Zhang Xun had really withdrawn from Cullen with his troops, but his team was just as disorganized. Some of the rebels who were engulfed didn't know what the flare meant, and when Zhang Xun left, they remained in the city of Kulun.

The assault team came in from the north without encountering any organized resistance, and Zhang Xun turned back again after receiving the news, and at four o'clock in the morning the two troops were combined into one.

With the support of tanks and armored vehicles, the situation was turned around at once. Guangxu's palace was built in a hurry, and the Russians could hold off the rebel troops who lacked heavy firepower, but they could not stop the crushing of more than forty steel monsters.

The battle lasted only twenty minutes, and the Russians could not hold out, and it was not only Zhang Xun who lacked heavy firepower, but the bombing of the arsenal made the artillery in Akberlil's hand useless. The Russian troops guarding this place suffered heavy casualties, and had no choice but to give this very symbolic place to the Chinese troops. The remnants of more than 200 old Maozi took Guangxu and retreated in the direction of General Ackberil's headquarters.

At 4:50 a.m. on January 1, the first year of the Republic, three hours and ten minutes before the first anniversary celebrations in Beijing, Zhang Xun, the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty, and Zaifeng, the Minister of the Interior, sent a telegram in Kulen announcing the success of the uprising. The notice stated that the rebels had taken control of the city of Kulen, although there were still a small number of Russian remnants holding out in the area of the Russian headquarters west of the city. But the imperial palace of the puppet Qing Dynasty has been occupied by the rebel forces.

Zhang Xun also issued two statements, the first of which was to urge Zhebuzun Danba's troops to surrender quickly. Accept the reorganization of the insurrectionary forces. If they are stubborn and willing to be cannon fodder for the Russians, the rebels will certainly not let them go. The second statement was that the insurrectionary forces were reorganized into the Fifth Front Army of the People's Republic of China, and Zhang Xun said that from now on, Kulen's insurrectionary troops would be Chinese troops, and he would unconditionally accept the command of Commander Yang and the leadership of Yuan Shikai.

The Russians made the same statement. Lao Maozi didn't say anything else, just about the non-belligerent zone, they made a solemn protest to Yuan Shikai! The non-belligerent zone was recognized by Lao Yuan, and the five countries of Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and Germany made a commitment to guarantee the security of the non-belligerent zone.

The Russians say it miserably. They say that there are absolutely no Russian military personnel who enter there, and they fly the flags of five countries according to custom, but these flags are ignored by the Chinese! The Russians say that the Chinese are a challenge to the international order, a challenge to those countries that have promised to give protection to Russian civilians, and even more to the destruction of the Chinese's own credit!

Yuan Shikai had just gotten up and was tidying up his set of Hanfu in front of the mirror, when Zhang Huaizhi's footsteps hurriedly ran in: "President, something is wrong." ”

Lao Yuan's expression has not changed much, he has already seen the two telegrams, Yang fights the ghost This trick is very beautiful, out of thin air in the rear of the Russians there is an additional Fifth Front Army, although the combat effectiveness of this unit does not know how, Kulen may not be able to hold it, but Zhang Zuolin's life will definitely be much better, and the situation in China on the battlefield has become more favorable.

Politically, too, Guangxu's palace was knocked down, although Guangxu was not caught, but for the first anniversary celebration of New China, this is really a big gift.

The downside is that this guy has caused himself another big problem! He actually went to the non-combat zone and killed all the Russians, which is really difficult to solve. Lao Yuan knew that those Western gentlemen would definitely come to trouble him, and Zhang Huaizhi would definitely come to this point.

"President, the mediation representatives of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States pulled me out of the bed early this morning, and they all handed me a letter of protest, asking us to explain the non-war zone as soon as possible, otherwise we will be responsible for all the consequences."

Yuan Shikai glanced at Zhang Huaizhi: "I know, you go and tell them that I am going to be busy with the ceremony today, and I don't have much effort." I'll go and talk to them in person tomorrow, it's not a small matter, I guess you can't talk about it. Yang beat the ghost and pulled a butt of shit, Lao Tzu didn't come forward, you can't wipe it clean. ”

Zhang Huaizhi was relieved when he heard that Yuan Shikai was willing to talk in person. In fact, when those Westerners came to him, they were very polite, especially Mr. Zhu Erdian, Zhu Erdian had made it clear that he was not willing to negotiate this issue with Zhang Huaizhi, and let China send another person who could call the shots.

Zhang Huaizhi didn't say this because he felt that he couldn't hold his face when he said it, and it also made Yuan Shikai feel like he couldn't do a good job.

"President, do you think you should say something nice to them first? I think they're angry like that. ”

Lao Yuan smiled slightly: "Angry? It's good to be angry, I used to be the only one who was angry with them, and now I finally have the opportunity to make them angry with me. Meddlesome! What do you think to say? ”

Zhang Huaizhi thought for a moment: "This matter is probably Commander Yang's idea. But we can't let him take care of the burden, I think, is it better to let Wu Peifu carry this burden? ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand gently: "No one has to pick, I will solve this matter for Yang Da Ghost." Lao Zhang, you are just too straight, sometimes you don't think about things and don't turn around, Yang Dagui disregards international practice and flattens the non-belligerent zone of the Russians, this is trouble, but this is not bad news for us. ”

Lao Yuan's words are obviously a bit esoteric to Zhang Huaizhi, for Yuan Shikai. The more Yang Xiaolin was like before, the more relieved he was. What's the point of adding a little trouble? What's more, just like Yuan Shikai himself said, the Russians actually protested strongly to themselves, which felt very cool.

Lei Zhenchun walked in from outside at this time: "President, the car is ready." The ceremony is also ready. Everything that needs to be done has been done. ”

Lao Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." You're waiting for me outside. We'll go to the presidential palace in a moment. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Huaizhi also knew that he was going to leave, and gave a military salute to Yuan Shikai: "President, then I'll go first." ”

Lao Yuan suddenly stopped him at this time: "Lao Zhang, wait, are you having any difficulties in life?" ”

Zhang Huaizhi shook his head busily: "No!" Let you bother, this monthly income is enough for expenses, and the church is also a person who lives. Set up a small stall on the street, and the children can take care of themselves, so they can feel comfortable. ”

Lao Yuan looked at him, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lao Zhang." You are all my old brothers, I don't say what I want you to do, at least I, Yuan Shikai, have come to this day, and I want to see my brothers' lives be a little more comfortable. Look at Duan Qirui, and then look at Lei Zhenchun, they live in a big house, and the fields are also done, your appearance really makes me feel very uncomfortable. My younger siblings are also in their forties, and they have to set up stalls on the street, can they be nicer to themselves? Why don't I change you to a better position? ”

Zhang Huaizhi smiled innocently: "Don't worry about the eldest brother, my brother has been living a hard life for half of his life, and he is used to it." As for my mother-in-law, she won't be blessed if you let her enjoy it! ”

Yuan Shikai didn't say anything more in the end: "Okay, there is a sentence you remember, it is not easy for us to go all the way to today in this life, just tell me if you have any ideas." ”

Zhang Huaizhi nodded gratefully: "Hey." ”

Lao Yuan was like this, he had the characteristics of traditional Chinese feudal rule, and he thought that after he won the world, he should let the brothers who followed him live a little better. Zhang Huaizhi himself was used to that kind of lifestyle, and Yuan Shikai even felt a little uncomfortable. He knew where Duan Qirui's money came from, and he also knew about Lei Zhenchun's blackmailing of Zaifeng.

Yuan Shikai thinks that this is normal, I won, you lose, and if you want to leave a life, it is a matter of course for me to spend that little money. As soon as the news of the success of the Kulun uprising came, some of the old brothers around Yuan Shikai couldn't stay still.

Militarily, this move was a fatal blow to Akberil, and the situation of the Chinese troops had suddenly become very favorable, and they were all convinced that the recovery of Mongolia was not a problem. The most prosperous place in Mongolia is Kulun, and this morning Yuan Shikai has received a lot of messages from old brothers, all of whom have proposed to Yuan Shikai to go to Kulen and contribute their own strength to stabilize the situation in Mongolia.

Including Lei Zhenchun, they all said that they should go to Kulun to do something now.

Lao Yuan's heart knows very well that these guys don't wait for Beijing City, and they have to run to the Mongolian steppe because Kulun now has oil and water! Once the Chinese army is victorious, it is inconceivable that these important members from Beijing will have the right to kill and kill the local forces in Mongolia at that time.

In particular, the Mongolian system must also change with the situation of the whole country, and the feudal leaders will disappear completely, and they know very well how much there is in this process.

If Zhang Huaizhi nodded just now, Lao Yuan would send this fat meat that made many people blushy into Zhang Huaizhi's mouth. It's a pity, it seems that Lao Zhang is really a person who is destined to live a hard life. (To be continued......)
