Section 14 Yuan Shikai's military plan for going out of the mountains and Beiyang
The story goes back to the main line.
Zai Xun, who originally thought that he needed a mouth, did not take much effort to convince Yuan Shikai. Xu Shichang didn't help much. When Yuan Shikai listened to Xu Shichang's report on the latest situation - there was no specific information at this time, Xu Shichang only knew that Shandong had been mobilized throughout the province, and the Shandong army was massing in large numbers to Dezhou.
Xu Shichang saw that Yang Shiqi and Yang Du were in Yuan Shikai's mansion, and knew that Yuan Shikai basically had a good grasp of the situation.
Yuan Shikai only made one request. That is the entire military command of the Beiyang Army!
Zai Xun's representative Zai Feng immediately agreed. In fact, it is no longer tolerable for him not to agree.
Yuan Shikai is a hero, and he is a smart person with a high IQ. It is certain that Long Qian will raise troops to take back military power, but the current situation does not allow him to delay even a day, an hour, or even a minute.
This is not a petty fight among hundreds of members of Sun Wen's revolutionary party, this is an unprecedented enemy! It is more dangerous than the Hongyang Rebellion fifty years ago! Under the nest, will there be no eggs? Long Qian is in power, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen may be able to eat in the new dynasty, but they are definitely not good! Therefore, Yuan Shikai's urgent mood is especially better than Zaixun.
On the same day, Yuan Shikai, Zai Xun, Xu Shichang, Yang Shiqi and Yang Du boarded Zai Xun's "special train" and hurriedly returned to Beijing to take over the military command.
The sworn enemy Tie Liang was "driven out" of the Beijing Division, and the new master of the War Department, Duan Fang, had not yet returned to Beijing to receive the seal, and Yuan Shikai would not wait for Duan Fang, as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he immediately ordered a meeting of the generals of the Beiyang Department, and after listening to the plan for assembling the main forces of the four towns to capture Shandong, Yuan Shikai began to make personnel adjustments.
Duan Qirui was appointed to take over the Sixth Town (not to supervise the military outside the Guan, but to actually take charge of the Sixth Town). Immediately send troops to Mukden to resist the attack of the Northern Army of the Mengshan Army towards Mukden. Yuan Shikai's order to Duan Qirui is not to let the Lushan Department enter the customs no matter what, this is the minimum requirement, Yuan Shikai instructed Duan Qirui, most of the Lushan Department is bandits, it is impossible not to be greedy for money, you go and get a million taels of silver tickets to go over, use the relationship between the twenty towns and the eighteen towns, and scatter a lot of money, how much can be disintegrated. Pull out as much as you can! Offices? You give whatever you want. Below the division commander, you can decide with one word! I'm still waiting to use your Sixth Town!
Feng Guozhang was appointed to replace Wu Fengling as the commander of the fourth town, and Li Chun was appointed to replace Wang Zhanyuan as the commander of the second town. The reason, of course, was the delay of military aircraft. In fact, Yuan Shikai thought that Wang, Wu, and Zhao were not talented. Of course, Wang Zhanyuan and Wu Fengling had to repay the friendship of the Manchu court in order to go out of the mountain to act and play the Manchu court. But it can only be after leveling Long Qian!
Yuan Shikai appointed Zhao Bingjun to enforce the control of the press in Beijing and Tianjin. "In the past, those newspaper literati who did not know the importance of the newspaper tried to attract the ignorant people. It is a matter of peddling the imperial court's grand plans, and this time the great war is imminent, and it is absolutely impossible to leak the slightest hint of military mobilization plans from the newspapers. If there is a leak, only you Zhao Bingjun is asking! ”
Yuan Shikai also ignored the presence of Liangbi Yinchang and other Manchurian dignitaries, slapped the table and shouted, "This is not only the danger of the imperial court, but also the danger of our Beiyang." The previous plan of the War Department was good, so let's do it. I'll put it in my head, I personally command this battle, who doesn't succeed, our decades of love will be gone, and the big guy's net worth and life will be gone! ”
Yuan Shikai concentrated all four towns in Shandong, determined to break through the Dezhou defense line with a thunderous force, go straight to Jinan, and break through Shandong as quickly as possible. He vetoed another previous backup plan, which divided the eastern and western fronts into two fronts, in addition to the western front along the Hengshui-Dezhou attack, the eastern front along Jinghai, Cangzhou, and Yanshan to attack Wuding.
The day is August 2nd. One by one, 100,000 urgent military orders were thrown, and the Beiyang Army in Zhili quickly set off, sweeping away the previous friction, showing the murderous spirit of a well-trained elite division.
The war clouds immediately spread over northern China, and the people of Jingshi saw the whole Beiyang army out of the city, knowing that the battle of Ludao was about to start.
On the evening of August 2, Duan Yongqing slipped out of the War Department under the pretext that his mother was ill, hired a rickshaw and went to Morisian Street. He had already learned of all the military plans for Beiyang's attack on Shandong, and this plan, which had been ordered to the troops not to be changed, must be circulated in a timely manner.
But Fu Lai Shun Restaurant was seized! A group of Beiyang troops was moving things out of the winery. Duan Yongqing was shocked, the Beijing terminal has been operating safely for several years, and there has never been any problem, but at this most critical moment, something happened!
He really wanted to come forward and ask the soldiers what was going on, at least he could find out whether Xing Dongyun and Boss Xing had been arrested. If he is arrested, he will be exposed, and all the intelligence stations of the Jingshi will be exposed! If he reveals his identity, no one will make it difficult for him, but he is highly trained and knows that it is dangerous to do so, if, if...... Duan Yongqing turned around categorically and ordered the coachman to go to Dashilar.
Duan Yongqing knocked on the door of Shun Fuxiang leather goods store.
"You are?" Li Yunxiang stared at the sweaty officer in his military uniform.
"Excuse me, are you Boss Li of Shun Fuxiang?"
"It's despicable. I don't know what advice the military master has? ”
"Go in and say." couldn't help but say, Duan Yongqing pushed Li Yunxiang into the gate and closed the carved iron door with his backhand.
"We are all from Shandong, and we don't like fur very much." Duan Yongqing hurriedly said the code, "Something happened to Fu Laishun, Boss Xing may have been arrested." ”
"Huh?! Let's talk about it in the house. Li Yunxiang desperately calmed his beating heart.
"No need. There you are. Duan Yongqing deliberately stood in the shadows, he didn't want Li Yunxiang to see his face clearly, this backup station was given to him by Boss Xing, and it would not be activated unless it was absolutely necessary, "You haven't forgotten the oath you took in the intelligence department, have you?" Now the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions. I got all the plans for Beiyang, and now I say, you keep it in my heart......"
Li Yunxiang calmed down and began to memorize with his heart.
"That's it. You repeat it. ”
Li Yunxiang repeated it, and it was accurate.
"Don't write it down on paper, just find a way to get it out right away. No matter what method is used, it will be passed out. ”
"Rest assured, I'll get the information out in time. What other instructions do you have? ”
"Oh. Also, let's report it as well. The War Department seriously suspected that Zhang Shaozeng and Wu Luzhen were revolutionaries, and was worried about the changes in the 20th Town. Perhaps headquarters can take advantage. I just heard that there is no contact with Zhang and Wu Zhi. After Duan Yongqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Li Yunxiang wiped the cold sweat on his head and once again silently recalled the information of the visitor. This is a colleague lurking in the key departments of Beiyang, and he is his own comrade. Since Jiang Yun came to the door in person during the Spring Festival of that year, it has been more than two years, and he has not used his intelligence station, he is mainly doing business. By the way, he handed over to Xing Dongyun the information he got from his wife's uncle, Zhang Haoyue, who served in the Military and Political Division's Military Garrison Department, to borrow the opportunity to go to Fu Lai Shun for dinner. But he has never received the task given by Xing Dongyun. But he still received a commendation from the headquarters and a reward of 500 oceans.
Now Lao Xing has an accident!
Li Yunxiang's first feeling was that he was also exposed. He hurriedly returned to the house and called his wife, "Something happened, you immediately find a place to hide for the night." But never go to your uncle. Do you understand? Wait until dawn when the city opens. You find a way to go to your hometown in the countryside. Wait for me to contact you. Don't bring anything, just silver tickets and money! ”
The intelligence officer assigned to him has long since withdrawn, presumably thinking that he is loyal and reliable. Now you have to take care of everything.
"Why?" The wife screamed.
"I'll tell you the truth. I am a member of the Mengshan Army. That's right, it's Long Qian's people. Now that something has happened to my colleague, it may affect me, so it's not safe here. You leave immediately, leave me alone, and when the Mengshan army enters the Beijing Division, we can naturally meet again......"
"Oh my God!" The wife, who knew nothing, immediately burst into tears.
Li Yunxiang immediately slapped his wife firmly, "Idiot! Where is the time to cry now? If you are caught, they don't care if you know the inside story or not! Maybe you'll die tonight under the whip and stick! For the sake of the children, for the sake of our husband and wife, you hurry up! Don't be stingy with your goods, if you lose something, you will come back, and if you are gone, you will never have a chance to see each other again! ”
After speaking, Li Yunxiang took out a pistol that Xing Dongyun gave him, brought enough silver dollars, and hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.
His destination was Tianjin. Like Duan Yongqing, Li Yunxiang has a backup liaison station, but not in Beijing, but in the Tianjin concession.
Duan Yongqing took a great risk and returned to his post. It really takes a lot of courage. The reason why he did this was based on the fact that Xing Dongyun would not confess himself, but human flesh and bones may not be able to withstand the torture of the torture instruments made by iron and wood, Duan Yongqing survived the most difficult two days and confirmed that he was safe. His abnormal demeanor was not suspected by his colleagues in the Military Orders Department, everyone was busy to death in those two days, and his mother was "sick" again, and it was understandable that she was in a trance.
Only his boss, Cai Ye, the chief of staff of the Military Orders Department, saw his abnormality, "Well, Brother Wenbai (Duan Yongqingzi) seems to have something on his mind." Are you too nervous during this time? ”
Duan Yongqing was taken aback, he risked his life to ask Cai Ye for all the plans, he was only in charge of the Kwantung Region, and he couldn't see the troop allocation of the main battlefield in Shandong at all. But Director Cai still gave it to him, and didn't ask him what he wanted for Lu at all.
"Where, you're too careful."
"Really? What is Ling Tang's condition? Should I visit? ”
"No, it's just a small problem. It's inevitable that you're getting older. Duan Yongqing felt that Cai Ye was already suspicious of him. But Cai Ye never mentioned the matter again, and Duan Yongqing, who gritted his teeth and insisted that he did not withdraw, finally avoided a crisis.
He has always been concerned about Xing Dongyun, who was arrested. But there was no news. It wasn't until a few months later that Duan Yongqing learned of Xing Dongyun's tragic death under Zhao Bingjun's torture. This middle-aged man who is always smiling is a real tough guy, and he did not reveal any secrets of the Beijing station until he died. Of course, Duan Yongqing also understood that the exposure of Fu Lai Shun Terminus was because of Yi Xuan. The old thing finally remembered who had been contacting him for Long Qian. That's why there was a scene of the seizure of the Fortune Fortune Winery.
Xing Dongyun died, forever bringing his secret of not evacuating in time into another world.
Li Yunxiang arrived in Tianjin smoothly and handed over the information. Tianjin Station strictly ordered him not to return to Beijing, not only to protect him, but also to protect the secrets of the Mengshan Army's underground world. At that time, the battle between the Shandong Army and the Beiyang Army was already in full swing, and the information he brought was of extremely important value to the Shandong Army, so he made meritorious service and was left to serve in the already established Military Intelligence Bureau, where he was invited to a banquet by Jiang Yun and received the highest reward. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yunxiang laid the cornerstone of the secret front of the republic. In 1911, Li Yunxiang was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel for sending out the top secret military plan of Beiyang, and the rank of lieutenant general was finally when he left.
Of course, he found his wife. Many years later, Mrs. Li, who lived in the compound of the Military Intelligence Bureau, chatted with the wife group, and repeatedly boasted about the story of her husband's lurking in Beijing, "Oh, where did I know that he is our intelligence officer?" They can really hide it, even their wives are ......" is not without pride in their words.
It should be pointed out that the basic working principles, training courses, and secret agent methods laid down by the Mengshan Army during the period were all from Long Qian's hands, and were perfected and carried forward by Jiang Yun and others, and this intelligence system several steps higher than the opponent made great contributions to the Mengshan Army's national victory. It is characterized by penetration, in-depth, and attacking the heart, supplemented by scientific intelligence transmission and meticulous intelligence analysis, and rarely uses the means of physical annihilation. Compared with the intelligence operation level of the Mengshan Army, whether it is Beiyang or the Sun lineage, it is not the same. (To be continued......)
