Xiang Xiaoqiang told Li Gensheng about his concerns. But he emphasized that sentence: This is not to suspect Zhao Cunnian alone, but to have a certain suspicion of those ten officers. Zhao Cunnian just happened to be among them.

"And, in my personal opinion," Xiang Xiaoqiang said, "Zisi is the least suspicious of these ten people. Judging by common sense, at least, the probability that the main general of an army will become a spy is very low. ”

Li Gensheng stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang and said with a smile:

"Why, only ten people?"

"What do you mean? How many more do you want? ”

Li Gensheng smiled and said slowly:

"Could it be...... Aren't subordinates among them? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then sneered:

"Cut, I've always thought you're a gentleman, and your mother is so pretentious. …… Hi, I don't know about you yet? You and I were born and died together, climbed up together, and now you are also one of the commanders of the People's Guard. If even you're a spy, then ...... Then I really want to suspect that I'm a spy myself. Gensheng, I've turned my face when I say this kind of stupid thing again. ”

When Li Gensheng heard this, he also laughed and said:

"Thank you for your trust. That...... What do you mean by your lordship, but also agree with your subordinates' next military action plan? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded:

"Yes, this plan of the two of you is still reasonable. Tianjin was taken first, and then copied from the south of Beijing, separating the Beijing-Tianjin area from the rest of Zhili...... Then, we can not only easily take the central and southern parts of Zhili, but also make the elite of the Eight Banners in the Beijing-Tianjin region have no mind to fight to the death...... Killing two birds with one stone, and the loss is small, how could I not understand? ”

"So, my lord, how do we prepare now?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang licked his lips and said:

"No need to prepare. How to fight and how to fight. It's nothing more than a question of where to enter. Before that...... In front of Zisi, you still pretend that you will be ordered to take Beijing westward. But at the last minute, I'll change my mind on the spur of the moment. If Zisi is a spy, then our next target will naturally be to Beijing. Then, we will see the clues from the strategic movement of the Qing army. ”

Li Gensheng nodded:

"Yes, my subordinates have written it down."

……

After a night's rest, the fighting spirit of the Qing army did not become stronger, but became more vulnerable. As expected, as soon as the battle began on the morning of the 12th, the Ming army carried out only one round of bombardment, and the Qing defense line on the west bank of the Luan River collapsed. The 1st Division of the People's Guard successfully erected pontoon bridges and began to flood to the west bank. The Luan River is not a big river in the first place, and in the middle of winter, the river surface is frozen. Although the Qing garrison blasted the ice first, the amount of water was still very small, and the river was still very narrow. In many places, there is no need for a pontoon bridge, just throw some sandbags into the water and the tracked vehicle will be able to wade through the water. Then lay wooden planks on the sandbags, and wheeled vehicles can pass.

Within two hours of the morning, the 1st Division of the People's Guard completely occupied Luan County and captured half of the Eighth Banner Division of the Qing Army, about 10,000 people. The remaining more than 10,000 defenders retreated westward, retreated into the city of Tangshan, and joined the Tangshan defenders.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the vanguard of the 1st Division of the People's Guard had already moved into the eastern suburbs of Tangshan, 15 kilometers away from the Tangshan city wall. Here, there was renewed strong resistance. Since then, the War of Unification has kicked off the final battle - the prelude to the Battle of Beijing, Tianjin and Tang.

However, with the strength of the 1st Division of the People's Guard, it was already difficult to storm forward. In front of it were more than ten times the Tangshan defenders, and they were all the elite of the Eight Banners.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, according to the order of the Xuzhou Headquarters, the First Division stopped its large-scale offensive, and stationed on the spot to rest and consolidate the areas it had occupied, purge the remnants of the enemy, and wait for the Second and Third Divisions of the People's Guard Corps to enter the pass in a steady stream. At the same time, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the People's Guard Force have already sailed north on the sea with troop transport fleets, and within two days they will board the 6th in Qinhuangdao to form a combat force.

In this case, the five heavily armored divisions of the People's Guard will soon converge on Guannai and launch a fierce attack on the Eight Banners Division of the Qing Army in Beijing, Tianjin and Tang.

In the process of suspending the offensive of the People's Guards and accumulating strength, the 6th Navigation and Naval Navigation of the Ming Army played a huge role. On the morning of the same day, they dispatched more than 60 detachments of dive bombers with three planes and more than 50 detachments of fighters with four planes, which were widely scattered in the south, west, and north directions of Tangshan, and constantly bombed and strafed the Qing troops on the ground, so that they could not raise their heads and could not move an inch, and they were unable to mobilize troops to take advantage of the opportunity to threaten the flank of the First Division of the People's Guard.

At the same time, on the southern front, on the south bank of the Yellow River in Shandong, the 6th Army of the Ming Dynasty was also ready to make the final preparations for an attack across the river. More than 30 pontoon bridges have been erected on the Yellow River, and the planes of the 6th Voyage have completely controlled the area on the north bank of the ferry. A small Ming army had also taken an assault boat to the north bank to consolidate the ferry. The Qing defenders on the north bank had lost their fighting spirit, and had either retreated far away or had surrendered. The large force of the Ming army crossed the Yellow River and waited for an order.

……

On the morning of the 13th, Zhu Yourong led a group of relatives of the emperor to Taimiao to tell the ancestors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty had recovered most of the lost territory in Jiangbei, and now, just waiting to cross the river.

After the ceremony, Zhu Yourong gave a speech in front of the Taimiao Temple in front of many reporters:

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, compatriots...... Today, we are finally crossing the river.

"In many times in history, when the Han Dynasty was invaded by the northern barbarian regime and it was difficult to recover the lost territory, the two simple words 'crossing the river' would become the common wish of the sons and daughters of China. At that time, Zong Ze, a famous anti-gold general in the Song Dynasty, shouted three times to 'cross the river' and ended up with hatred. Since then, for more than 200 years, after the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, the Chinese nation has never been able to cross the Yellow River north. It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Movement of the Mengyuan Dynasty that our Chinese nation was finally able to cross the Yellow River again and return to the place where our ancestors had lived for generations. …… But needless to say, the Northern Ming Dynasty only lasted for more than 200 years, and the Chinese nation suffered another misfortune, the north fell, and Shenzhou sank 6. Not only the Yellow River, but even the Yangtze River has almost failed to hold it several times.

"Fortunately, history is constantly evolving, and there are always changing the rules of the game at different times. In the face of the new rules of the game, it is up to who can accept and who will refuse. A nation that has the courage to accept the new rules will become the darling of the times and become civilized and prosperous. And the nation that stubbornly refuses will be abandoned by the times and will become dark and poor. I like this sentence very much: the trend of the world, mighty, those who go with it prosper, and those who go against it die.

"History is fair, and it always gives the same opportunity to different peoples at different times. Half a century ago, history gave us and the Manchus a fair chance for 'constitutional reform'. We bravely accepted it, and the Qing court stubbornly refused. Therefore, there is today's result: we are marching forward, crossing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and recovering the lost territory for thousands of miles. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still breathing, and the day was precarious. As a monarch, I am now thinking about how to build the north in the future, and the puppet emperor Guangwu must be thinking now: where to go into exile.

"Official newspapers in some countries have been using the word 'aggression' when reporting on this just war. Note that I'm talking about the official newspaper. It is different from the non-governmental media in that it represents the attitude of the government of that country. This view has always regarded the South and the North as two countries. I am very sorry for this.

"Since the Manchu invasion to the south, 293 years have passed. Yes, it's been a long time. But I believe that there is one truth that is self-evident — and I am sure you share my view — that time will never legitimize aggression or massacres. Sin, even after a thousand years, is sin. In particular, the slaughter of tens of millions, that is, the slaughter of 6o%-8o% of a nation's population, which is a monstrous crime rarely seen in the history of the world, will be nailed to the pillar of shame of mankind forever. We can predict that this evil will not be forgotten as long as humanity remains on earth. Otherwise, it will be a tragedy for all mankind. Today, our Northern Expedition is not only liberating the people of the northern land, but also more or less soothing the tens of millions of unjust souls of more than 200 years ago.

"There was a poem in 6 years ago: Dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, but the sorrow is not the same in Kyushu. Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng. …… At ten o'clock this morning, that is, in a few minutes, our brave and fearless army will cross the Yellow River and set foot on the land of Zhili to fulfill the wishes of our ancestors and go to the Central Plains in Beiding. I, Zhu Yourong, as the 29th generation of the Great Tomorrow, am very fortunate to have the favor of history, and I have the opportunity to stand here and comfort my ancestors: the Ming army is about to cross the river and go to the Central Plains in Beiding. And all this is thanks to the unremitting efforts of the people of all generations and the brave battles of the soldiers. And I, Zhu Yourong myself, when I stood in front of all this, I felt so small and insignificant. …… I just want to say, thank you. ”

After Zhu Yourong finished speaking, he clasped his hands with ten fingers, slowly raised his head, and looked up. Applause and cheers rang out like a flood from all sides. Both the audience and the reporters were somewhat moved.

At this time, two Praetorian Guards carried radio equipment and put it in front of Zhu Yourong, and the debugging was completed. At the same time, the cheers and applause from all sides gradually calmed down.

Zhu Yourong raised his wrist and looked at his watch. After a moment, with a solemn expression, she announced into the microphone:

"It's ten o'clock in the morning on February 13, 1937. My Command: Cross the River!! ”

Suddenly, the cheers and applause from all sides boiled again. Soon a volcanic eruption was formed.

At the same time, the Xuzhou command received a radio signal from Zhu Yourong. With a wave of his hand to Xiaoqiang, more than a dozen generals gave an attack order to the phone at the same time. The first batch of 20 motorized infantry divisions of the 6th Army moved, and the iron stream roared on the pontoon bridge, poured onto the land of Zhili, and cooperated with the people's guards in the north to carry out a flanking attack on the remnants of the Northern Qing Dynasty.
