"The cannon is bombarding his mother, Weijia Hai is returning to his hometown, and the giant whale is devouring Fusang!" Zhang Zongchang was bored in his heart, and stood at the tuyere and sang loudly.

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Jin Shouliang, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered persuasion. The current situation is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer, and if a decision is not made at this time, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. "Dashuai, you be quiet, the Japanese are still inside, now you can't swallow Fusang anymore, the Northern Expeditionary Army has besieged Jinan, Zhang Zuolin's reinforcements have not come for a long time, the Japanese are like this again, I think we should make some plans as soon as possible!"

"Momfuck!" Zhang Zongchang couldn't help but scold. A week ago, most of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Lin Zuo, led most of his troops to besiege Jinan City, in order to be able to hold his own territory, Zhang Zongchang unusually sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin overnight asking for help, asking him to quickly transfer troops to come.

Zhang Zuolin did not agree to his request. In fact, it is not that Zhang Zuolin is unwilling to help, but now he is unable to protect himself, after Wu Peifu went into hiding, Zhang Zuolin's Feng army began to enter Henan and other places, but under the fierce offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army, those elite divisions of the Feng army were also defeated and retreated, and there was no room to fight back.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Zhengzhou, it divided its troops into two routes, one along the Kaifeng and Luoyang lines, and the other to the north. The Feng army in Henan was simply unable to parry, and for a time they retreated backwards.

Hearing Zhang Zongchang's request for help, Zhang Zuolin couldn't help even if he wanted to.

In desperation, Zhang Zongchang sent Qingdao to find the Japanese to help. The Japanese originally wanted to meddle in the Northern Expedition of the Chinese army, and such an excuse could not be better.

After hearing Zhang Zongchang's request, the commander of the Sixth Division in Qingdao, Fukuda Hikosuke, immediately proposed to his superiors to send troops to Jinan to protect the overseas Chinese. At that time, Japan's Tanaka Cabinet had already been formed, and it was a cabinet with a strong characteristics of aggression against China.

When the Tanaka cabinet was established, it was when Zhang Zuolin was preparing to ascend to the first position in the north, and because Zhang Zuolin had a close relationship with Tanaka on the left and right, Feng Zhang had hopes for Tanaka to form a cabinet, but after Tanaka came to power, all his performances showed that he was a cabinet with a strong intention to invade China.

After receiving this suggestion, Japan's Tanaka Cabinet approved the dispatch of troops to Shandong, China, to protect Japanese nationals.

After Zhang Zongchang heard about it, he thought that the Japanese would be as stable as Mount Tai when they came, so he set up a banquet in Jinan to entertain Fukuda Hikosuke. During the meal, Zhang Zongchang called several beautiful aunts and wives to the table as a family banquet.

Fukuda Hikosuke is also a person who can't walk when he sees a woman, and Zhang Zongchang's aunt is also a coquettish person, and several people openly flirted with Fukuda Hikosuke at the banquet.

"General Fukuda, what are your army's plans for the Southern Revolutionary Party? The Northern Expeditionary Army is coming, when to transfer troops and how to deploy troops, let's discuss" Zhang Zongchang picked up the wine glass in front of him, trying to interrupt the flirt between Fukuda Hikosuke and his aunt's wife.

"General Zhang, my report has been typed, and arrangements will be made on whether to send troops or not. As for the deployment and defense of Jinan City, that is your personal matter. The soldiers of the Reich only protect the safety of their own nationals, and as for the rest, these are the internal affairs of your country, and we have no right to interfere."

Hikosuke Fukuda is an extremely shrewd person, he will only use Zhang Zongchang, but he will not be used by Zhang Zongchang.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zongchang's heart was half cold, and he dared to love the Japanese to send troops to Shandong through his hand, but he did not want to send troops to Shandong to fight against the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After Fukuda Yansuke finished speaking, he continued to move with Aunt Zhang Zongchang next to him, but the aunt who came out of the kiln was amused and laughed.

"!" Zhang Zongchang put the chopsticks and walked out, and when Futian next to him saw it, he was not moved by him at all, and he still laughed constantly.

When Zhang Zongchang walked to the door, he couldn't help but sing the song he wrote the lyrics loudly. After hearing the suggestion of Chief of Staff Jin Shouliang, Zhang Zongchang knew that Jinan could not be held. Zhang Zuolin can't be trusted, and the Japanese can't be relied on, and now he doesn't know who to rely on?

"Dashuai, I think it's better to pack up your family and go to Qingdao first, it is the territory of the Japanese, and the revolutionary party in the south dare not do anything. We are waiting there for the opportunity, and when the time comes, we will prepare for a comeback." Regarding the suggestion of Chief of Staff Jin Shouliang, Zhang Zongchang had to listen, because there was only this way at present.

"Hey! I think Lao Tzu is also a Rong Ma all his life, and he actually let a yellow-haired boy ......" Zhang Zongchang sighed softly.

"Dashuai, as long as we stay in the green mountains, he will not worry about making a comeback" "That's right, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't make a comeback?" After a brief conversation, Zhang Zongchang sent people to gesture to soften their belongings, and they fled to Qingdao overnight with their cronies and families.

On the third day of Zhang Zongchang's escape, most of the Northern Expeditionary Army Lin Zuo took the lead in attacking Jinan City.

After the defense was torn open, the Northern Expeditionary Army poured into it like a tide, and a day later, Jinan was conquered by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After conquering Jinan, the next step is Rehe and Beijing, followed by the three eastern provinces, Suiyuan, Chahar and Mongolia. Seeing this, Huang Ke's heart became excited, it seems that the great cause of the Northern Expedition is about to be completed, compared with the historical Lao Jiang, Huang Ke's Northern Expedition this time is more thorough, the army is highly unified, and the economy has also achieved rapid development.

Decade! Huang Ke is looking forward to the rise of the golden decade, when he will personally lead a large army to conquer the Japanese mainland and defeat the polar bear in the north......

But he soon discovers that the real trouble is just beginning.

"Commander, Nanjing Emergency Dispatch of Reserve Cadres" The staff officer on duty leaned on his heel and walked in. When it comes to the Reserve Cadres Division, everyone knows that new information has been sent. The staff officer put the telegram paper in front of Huang Ke, then turned around and walked out.

Not long after Huang Ke got up at this time, he held an enlarged meeting last night, and he didn't fall asleep until after four o'clock in the morning, when he was having breakfast.

Two steamed buns, a bowl of millet porridge, plus a little pickles, his breakfast is always so simple, which is also Huang Ke's practice of advocating diligence and thrift in the army.

Taking a big bite of a steamed bun, Huang Ke lowered his head and looked at the contents of the telegram: "On that day, the Japanese set off from Dalian on the 'Hong Kong Maru' with about 2,000 men from the 10th Infantry Wing and the 63rd Infantry Brigade, and 500 members from the Wireless Telecommunications Team. The commander of the unit was Major General Kanean Murada, commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade. Its destination is the city of Jinan, Shandong Province, China, and it claims to protect Japanese nationals. At 1:35 a.m., the Japanese troops arrived in Qingdao, landed on June 1, and then went to Jinan - the reserve cadres of the Ministry of National Defense to send an urgent telegram.

Looking at it, Huang Ke's chewing mouth stopped, and he frowned and looked at the message in front of him carefully. It seems that the Japanese are indeed going to make a move in Jinan, what should he do?

"Guard!" After shouting at the door, Fourteen Tsai walked in quickly, "Commander, you call me?" ”

"Send this to the confidential room and let them send it to the front command of the Eastern Route Army" Huang Ke picked up the pen in front of him, considered it for a while, and then handed it to Fourteen Tsai after instructing below, "Pay close attention, if there is friction, you can fight back normally".

"Yes!" Fourteen Tsai took the message and was about to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Before Fourteen Tsai went out, Huang Ke called him back again.

After "bring it over" and brought the telegram, Huang Ke picked up the pen again, crossed out the "can fight back normally" on it, and wrote "If you find an abnormality, report it immediately" at the end of the sentence.

The weather finally warmed up, and Batu returned to the familiar grassland. He stepped on the jujube red horses that Huang Ke had given him, these horses had good foot strength, but now they were old, and they were out of breath before they had run for a few miles, and their noses kept exhaling.

Batu knew that the horse was too old, and that several years of war life and trauma had turned the horse into an old horse that could not even be used to pull a cart. The horse could no longer gallop across the endless grassland, but Batu led it out anyway.

Touching the horse's sideburns, Batu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Old man, thank you for your hard work!" ”

At the most difficult time of the march, the army of tens of thousands of people lacked food and clothing, and many cavalry wanted to kill horses for food, but Batu vetoed. He said to tens of thousands of soldiers, "Cavalry is the proudest of the troops, and the pride is because we have war horses to accompany us, and if we kill the horses, then we will lose the proudest thing of the cavalry!" ”

Later, such a lone army survived that cold winter, and the war horses also rushed across the Yellow River with them, all the way to Suiyuan.

"The northwest wind and snow are nine times in a row, and the ancient and modern situation is heavy on three sides.

The dome has been isolated in the domain, and the pasture is still called Tumochuan.

The small pear orchard is the same as the country, and thousands of families are in Beijing into a good year.

The Holy Dynasty governs China and the rest of the world, and 100,000 Pi Pi is still in control. "The officer Liu (Bo) Jian, who was with Batu, was not tall and wore a pair of glasses on his face, riding on a Mongolian horse covered in white, giving people a sense of civility and politeness.

But if you want him to be an ordinary literati, you are very wrong. This is a man known as the god of the army, who once had eye surgery without any anesthetic, and Batu said he was a modern-day version of Guan Yunchang.

In Batu's corps, Liu Jian served as the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. He originally served in the Western Route Army and was a hot general in Wang Maocai's hands, but Huang Ke considered the difficulties of the Batu Legion, so he sent him to the Batu Legion as the commander of the First Brigade. However, the military order was like a mountain, and he had to carry it out.

When he first arrived at the cavalry, Batu was very unpopular with this small and bespectacled Sichuan man, and he raised his eyebrows and asked him if he could ride a horse.

Liu Jian smiled and nodded.

Batu asked him again, do you know how to shoot? Cavalry is no better than infantry, just stand there, on horseback and on flat ground.

Liu Jian didn't answer, he snatched a horse in front of the barracks, then took the guard's rifle rifle, stepped on the horse and whipped out. After running a few hundred meters, he raised his gun and shot it into the sky, and after a snap, a huge vulture landed straight in front of Batuu.

Batu gasped, he didn't necessarily have the ability to do it himself. "Haha, well done! It seems that Commander Huang is not wrong, what he gave me is a baby! ”
