Chapter 135 Into the Set
The trace of uneasiness in his heart was temporarily put down by Yuan Shikai. Regardless of whether Yang Du's actions were deliberately arranged by Yang to fight ghosts or a coincidence, Lao Yuan would not change his plan. As soon as Sun Chuanfang's troops come back, Feng Guozhang will definitely arrive tomorrow, which really makes Yuan Shikai a lot more emboldened, the front is really a pit, and Lao Yuan has to step over it!
Sun Chuanfang was also born in poverty, lost his father at a young age, and his family was poor. He lived with his mother in his uncle's house, but was abused by his aunt and forced to escape. Sun Chuanfang's childhood was basically spent in exile, the eldest sister got married, and his mother took him to the eldest brother-in-law's house to eat for a few years, and the second sister went to the second brother-in-law's house after she got married.
Later, his third sister married Wang Yingkai of the Law Enforcement Department of the Wuwei Right Army under Yuan Shikai, and his mother took him to live in the Wang family. Until Lao Yuan had just started training in Shandong, Wang Yingkai introduced Sun Chuanfang into the army, so he was also an old man in the Beiyang Army, and when Yuan Shikai saw Sun Chuanfang appear, he no longer had any doubts about this matter.
Sun Chuanfang has two people to thank today, one is his brother-in-law Wang Yingkai, and the other is Feng Guozhang, who promoted him when he first joined the army! So no matter how Yuan Shikai thought about it, he would never have thought that Sun Chuanfang would betray Beiyang and Feng Guozhang.
Lao Yuan doesn't know people like Sun Chuanfang, this kind of person has no bottom line. The hardships of his childhood made Sun Chuanfang unforgettable, and he swore that he would never live that kind of life again! No longer live on the handouts of others. You can call him ungrateful, you can say he has a different mind, but his motives are very simple, and he is afraid.
When Yang Xiaolin found Sun Chuanfang, he told him that you can make two choices, the first is to be with those generals of the Beiyang Army, so that you can get a reputation for loyalty, and even I will respect you. I'll be merciful to your men when I deal with this matter in the future. The second option is to cooperate with me and help me get rid of Yuan Shikai, so that your Beiyang colleagues may scold you in the future, and even many people in China will look down on you, but I promise to let you be your general in peace.
Sun Chuanfang didn't think much about it at all, go to his mother's reputation!
"President, when I came, General Feng deliberately explained that the attack should be as fast as possible and as sudden as possible, because Commander Yang followed us desperately after the end of the Mongolian battle, and it is said that he also let the armored troops and cavalry go first. I don't think we have much time. ”
After Sun Chuanfang saw Yuan Shikai, he immediately described the situation as more tense according to what Yang Xiaolin said, which made Lao Yuan have a sense of urgency and did not allow him to think too much.
Lao Yuan did not have the slightest doubt: "The key is whether the dog's troops will be able to enter the battle immediately after they come?" You must know that there are still more than 50,000 people in Wu Zhaolin, and Liu Xianhe is also ready to move behind him, are you sure that it will be decided in a battle? ”
Sun Chuanfang immediately took out a letter from his pocket: "Back to the president, this is a letter from General Feng to you, with his thoughts on this battle, please take a look." ”
Lao Yuan took the letter and opened it for a look. Feng Guozhang also had a certain understanding of the current battle situation, and he said that although his troops should have no problem defeating Wu Zhaolin's Fourth Front Army, this was not a good operational policy, and he believed that Wu Zhaolin's headquarters should be targeted. Early tomorrow morning, when he arrived in Beijing, he launched a powerful interlude, trying to kill Wu Zhaolin and capture Sun Wen, as for the ordinary soldiers of the Fourth Front Army. Don't bother with it.
Yuan Shikai looked at it, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently flashed a smile: "Is this method a dog's?" How do I feel a bit similar to the style of fighting ghosts with Yang? ”
As soon as these words came out, Sun Chuanfang suddenly felt that the back of his spine was wet! I thought in my heart, could it be that there was any flaw in this battle plan that Yuan Shikai could see?
Before he could think of how to answer, Lao Yuan said to himself: "Gouzi's previous combat plans were very detailed, but this time he only said his goals and methods. The tactics in it are not mentioned, and they are as rough as Yang's fighting style! It seems that you have all been influenced by that guy during your time in Mongolia, right? ”
Sun Chuanfang noticed that Yuan Shikai's face had not changed much, and immediately said: "Actually, Commander Yang is indeed very good at fighting, and he asks us to sum up each other's experience at the end of each battle, and let us think about how to fight better if we fight again." Come to think of it, it's a little affected. ”
Old Yuan Ha smiled: "This is also a good thing!" You know him better, and if there is a falling out, I am more sure! Okay, you go to the eldest prince now, and discuss with Yan Xishan and the others how to fight this battle! According to the dog's plan, you make a specific plan and notify me after the discussion. ”
"Yes!"
Sun Chuanfang's hanging heart landed at this time. He knew that when Yuan Shikai believed in himself, Lao Yuan would lose the last opportunity, and China's political turmoil would end immediately.
When Yang Xiaolin received Sun Chuanfang's telegram, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Chuanfang said that Yuan Shikai's tactics were completely arranged according to their expectations, and that in the early hours of tomorrow morning, Yan Xishan would lead his troops to launch a frontal attack on the Fourth Front, with the aim of attracting the main force of the Fourth Front Army, so that Feng Guozhang could quickly attack from the flank and break through smoothly.
Commander Yang also showed a slight smile on his face, so it was good, when Yan Xishan was exhausted from the attack, he found that the troops from the north were not attacking Wu Zhaolin, but beating him, it was estimated that those teams from Shanxi would collapse immediately. It was not Wu Zhaolin's headquarters that was really going to be assaulted, but Yuan Dagongzi's headquarters.
"Songpo, it seems that we can achieve this victory at the lowest cost, after defeating Yan Xishan, Yuan Shikai has no military support, and when his high pressure cannot be maintained, many people who are dissatisfied with him will stand up, and even, some people in Beiyang will abandon him."
Cai Ye was convinced of Yang Xiaolin's words, this was a trap, Yuan Shikai was trapped, even if he had the strength, he couldn't use it, not to mention that Lao Yuan's strength was really not as strong as Yang Da's ghost.
"Commander, what are you going to do with these people in Beiyang?"
Yang Xiaolin thought for a while: "It depends on how well the work of the Hui Zi in Beijing is, and it also depends on whether Yuan Shikai will be happy, if he really wants to fight us to the end, he will have to kill someone." ”
Cai Ye said: "You don't have to be merciful when you kill, I believe that you will do better than Yuan Shikai with China!" ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Support me so much? ”
Cai Ye also smiled: "I've been with you for so many years." I believe in you, and I believe in my own vision, in fact, you are doing very well in the Northeast. ”
"The Northeast is the Northeast, and it is different from the whole of China. When I was in Tohoku, the Japanese did not think about restricting me, and Britain, France, and the United States did not think about using me. Songpo, let me tell you the truth, I want to bring down Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen not because I believe that I can do a good job, but because I know that they must not be able to do well! ”
That's a bit esoteric. Cai Yi didn't understand what he heard: "Commander, the Europeans and the Japanese have proposed to restrict our navy, what should we do about this matter?" ”
The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth raised, and he looked a little cunning. The condition put forward by Britain, France, and the United States is that the tonnage of the Chinese navy can only be maintained at 60 percent of that of the Japanese navy, while the Japanese put forward 70 percent; on the one hand, small Japan has this self-confidence, and on the other hand, Japan wants China to stop entangling with them on the issue of Taiwan and Korea, so it has increased by 10 percent.
Is there a difference between 60 percent and 70 percent? After Germany's defeat in World War I, Britain allowed Germany only 30 percent of the size of the British navy, and the army could only be maintained at 100,000 men. And there can't be weapons of mass destruction, this suppression is strong enough, right? This treaty is harsher, right? But the treaty is a piece of, and when the mustache is ready to hit you, those pieces of paper are just for tearing up.
Seventy percent of the Navy is enough for China. Yang Xiaolin thought about it, and he built two large battleships by himself, and when the time was ripe, they would be aircraft carriers, and then the kind of pocket-sized battleships invented by the Germans during World War II could be borrowed by himself. That's good. With thick armor and strong firepower, the large warships of the British are no match for him alone. And because it's small. So the speed is extremely fast, once you are surrounded and turn around, you can't catch up.
Also, the Japanese limited their navy, but not their shipyards, or they saw that China's current Fuzhou shipyard was basically in a state of shutdown, with personnel lost and machines aging, so they didn't think about this problem at all.
As long as you develop the shipyard yourself, the tonnage of the ship is 70 percent and there is really no difference between it and 60 percent, just enough for training.
"I have already told Yang Du that no matter how the navy restricts us, we can discuss with them, but our bottom line is that we will never give up Taiwan and North Korea, even if we are unable to take it back now, we cannot say that we will give up."
Cai Ye nodded after hearing this. Yang Xiaolin raised his hand and looked at his watch: "I guess that Lao Yuan in Beijing is almost ready, so let's do it, you will send a telegram early tomorrow morning, in my name, and say that the two sides of the conflict will stop fighting immediately, and you can help me think about the wording." ”
"Yes, Commander, what if Yuan Shikai really stops fighting?"
Yang Xiaolin shook his head lightly: "He won't." ”
Early the next morning, Yang Xiaolin's telegram was immediately sent to Beijing, in which Commander Yang warned all parties in a very serious tone to immediately stop the armed conflict, and he used his capacity as the commander-in-chief of China to ask all the soldiers to lay down their arms and return to their military camps, and at the same time asked Yuan Shikai and Mr. Sun Wen to also remain calm, put the overall situation of the country first, and put aside the dispute.
But Commander Yang's words did not get a response, at three o'clock in the morning before dawn Yan Xishan began to attack Wu Zhaolin, Yang Xiaolin's power did not even let the battle stop in the slightest, it is said that Lao Yuan took a look at it and threw the message into the trash, he just asked: "Where is Yang Fighting Ghost now?" ”
Mr. Li said: "I just came out of Mongolia, and it is estimated that there are still about ten days to go. ”
"Okay, ignore him, everything will go according to the predetermined plan, give me a hard beating!" (To be continued......)
