The generals of the Beiyang Army who stayed in Yanjing City exchanged heads and ears in the conference room of the General Staff. And the content of their conversation was undoubtedly related to the Northern Army. Yesterday, when the northern army approached Yanjing City, thousands of heavy artillery pieces were pulled out, which caused a great shock to the generals of the Beiyang Army in the city, and many people were frightened and their confidence was shaken, and the morale of the troops was also seriously affected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Army has already overwhelmed the border, and will attack us in the near future. I want to know, do you have the confidence to resist the attack of the Northern Army and hold Yanjing City! Duan Qirui asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and it was obvious that after seeing the thousands of heavy artillery pieces of the Northern Army yesterday, they had no confidence. Although the city of Yanjing City is well defended, it is obviously impossible to withstand the bombardment of thousands of heavy artillery.

"Chief of Staff, to be honest, it is very difficult to resist the attack of the Northern Army." Lieutenant General Li Chun, the commander of the sixth town of the Beiyang Army, shook his head and said. Although this is a bit of a long-term morale, it will destroy one's own prestige. However, this is the truth.

The other generals also nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with Lieutenant General Li Chun's statement.

"I have the same point of view as everyone, the Northern Army has gathered thousands of heavy artillery pieces outside the city, and if we resist stubbornly, the final result will probably be a dead end." Duan Qirui continued.

The faces of the generals present are not very good-looking. No one wants to die, and everyone has not enjoyed enough glory and wealth, so how can they die like this? Therefore, many people are a little unwilling in their hearts.

"Your Majesty has given up Yanjing City and fled to Jinling. We are now outcasts. Duan Qirui continued.

The faces of the generals became more and more ugly. Yuan Datou fled to Jinling with high-ranking military and political officials, but left them behind to die, which undoubtedly made them very dissatisfied. Merely. Military orders are like mountains, and they must not obey them!

"Last night, I thought about it and didn't think I could go on like this. Beiyang is finished, and the foundation has rotted. If Beiyang is compared to a big ship, it is undoubtedly a big ship full of loopholes. Those of us who are on board. There is no need to sink into the sea with this big ship. Duan Qirui expressed what he meant.

"What do you mean, Chief of Staff?" Li Chun looked at Duan Qirui in astonishment, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing. Most of the other generals also had such expressions. After all, Duan Qirui has always been regarded as Yuan Datou's henchman.

"If you don't object, I'm determined to lead you to surrender to the Northern Army. Now it seems that the Northern Army is the only savior of China, and following them will have a future. Duan Qirui made everything clear.

"Duan Zhiquan. You are so bold, you dare to betray Your Majesty! A middle-aged general stood up, pointed at Duan Qirui and scolded, his eyes were shining, and he wanted to break Duan Qirui's body into pieces.

This person is Duan Zhigui, the commander of the 25th town of the Beiyang Army, and he has another identity, that is, Yuan Datou's godson. Originally. He was still waiting for Yuan Datou to be crowned king after he became emperor, but. The Beiyang Army called, and his wish was frustrated. Now, Duan Qirui actually wants to rebel against Yuan Datou, how can this work?

"Brothers, if you don't give it to me, arrest this rebellious minister and thief who betrayed Your Majesty." Duan Zhigui shouted to the people around him. But. But no one did it. Everyone is not stupid, since Duan Qirui dares to find out all this, how can he not be prepared at all?

"Humph! Duan Zhigui, don't waste your efforts. Come on, tie him up for me. Imprisoned and waiting to be released! Duan Qirui ordered in a cold voice.

Suddenly, a group of heavily armed guards rushed in from outside and rushed towards Duan Zhigui.

"What do you want to do? It's against you. I am Your Majesty's godson, you dare to arrest me, be careful that Your Majesty will destroy your nine clans! Duan Zhigui desperately resisted. But where is he the opponent of those guards. After three or two strokes, the guards tied him up.

Although, Duan Zhigui kept yelling and screaming, struggling uselessly. However, it is useless at all. The other generals also bowed their heads and did not dare to speak on this. Obviously, they all knew that Duan Qirui was determined to betray Yuan Datou and take refuge in the Northern Army. If they dare to stand up against it, Duan Zhigui is an example. If you don't do it, you will lose even your life.

Besides, now that the northern army is coming to the city and defending Yanjing City, it is undoubtedly a dead end. Instead of being buried with Yanjing City, it is better to simply reverse it and take refuge in the Northern Army. Compared with Beiyang, which is already declining, the Northern Army is in the midst of vigorous development, and they can also board a big ship to keep their glory and wealth. Therefore, the vast majority of people are not opposed to defecting to the Northern Army. It's just that, for some reason, they still have some concerns in their hearts.

"Chief of Staff, is the Northern Army willing to accept our surrender?" Lieutenant General Li Chun asked. Don't come to the end, it's just that they shave their heads and pick their heads hot, and it's hard to end.

"Don't worry, the envoy of the Northern Army has arrived. Special Envoy, Please! Duan Qirui said.

Immediately, Liu Wenfan, who was dressed in a dark green army uniform of the Northern Army, walked into the conference room.

"Hello everyone, the head of the Yanjing Station of the Northern Army Intelligence Bureau, I was ordered to contact you. The young marshal has already said that as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, our northern army will definitely not treat you badly. The ordinary officers and soldiers below, if they want to join the army, as long as they can pass our assessment, they can join the Northern Army, and if they don't want to be soldiers, we will also pay for the passage and get out of the way, so that they can go home safely. As for you, whether you want to engage in politics or business, the government of the north will provide you with the greatest help and support. Liu Wenfan said.

"Politics? Business? My old Zhang Ke is a rough man, he can only play with guns all his life, can't he continue to lead soldiers? A middle-aged general said with some dissatisfaction. They were a little dissatisfied with the fact that the Northern Army wanted to take their military power.

"If you want to continue to lead troops, of course you can. You are all high-ranking generals. However, if you want to become a general of the Northern Army, you must first go to the Army University for further study, and only after passing the graduation examination can you be appointed. Moreover, in view of the difference in the military system of the Northern Army and the Beiyang Army, everyone's military rank will also change, and it is impossible for you to continue to be a lieutenant general or major general, and you need to be demoted and appointed. Liu Wenfan continued.

"What? Where is the reason for demotion and appointment? Lao Tzu finally mixed up with a major general, and if he was demoted, wouldn't he become a brigadier general or a colonel? Don't you dare! A burly middle-aged soldier said angrily.

"Yes! You have to pass some bullshit exam. Lao Tzu has led soldiers to fight all his life, and he has never gone to military school, isn't it also mixed up? Another general also said.

Other generals also chimed in. In fact, they did not have much hostility towards surrendering to the northern army. However, if the Northern Army wants to harm their interests, they will be dissatisfied. If they could, they would certainly like to keep their ranks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't compare the Beiyang Army with our Beiyang Army. Can your troops pull out and fight the Japanese and the Russians, and still win? If you can't, just do what we want. The Northern Army, do not raise idlers, do not raise waste! It is impossible to get mixed up in the Northern Army like in the Beiyang Army. Of course, you can also refuse, refuse to surrender to us. However, what awaits you at that time is complete destruction. If it weren't for the fact that everyone is also Chinese, my young marshal would not be so kind. Liu Wenfan said coldly. These guys, completely out of their own power, gave them a few colors, and they even opened a dye shop.

The generals all looked at each other, and Liu Wenfan's tough attitude suppressed them. Although they were a little annoyed, they had to admit that compared with the Northern Army, the Beiyang Army was indeed garbage.

"If we give up joining the army, how much compensation will the Northern Army give us?" A major general asked.

"We will pay you a compensation, 50,000 oceans for the major general and 100,000 oceans for the lieutenant general." Liu Wenfan said.

"So little?" The generals of the Beiyang Army were in a commotion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this money is not much, and it cannot be compared with your family property. But if you resist to the end, my family will not belong to you. Liu Wenfan said coldly, the threat is very strong.

Suddenly, the generals who were making a fuss stopped talking one by one, and none of the generals of the Beiyang Army was rich. The compensation given by the Northern Army was nothing to them. But if they refuse to surrender and the northern army attacks their family property, it will undoubtedly outweigh the losses.

Many generals of the Beiyang Army have already decided to give in. After all, it is certain that you will die, and it is very good to be able to keep a small life.

In fact, at this moment, the Northern Army has begun to enter Yanjing City. Early in the morning, Xu Shuzheng went to Guang'anmen with Duan Qirui's warrant and contacted an assistant leader stationed here. After showing Duan Qirui's warrant, the other party immediately said that he would follow orders.

So, when the generals of the Beiyang Army entered the conference room of the General Staff for a meeting, the Guang'an Gate was opened, and the troops of the Northern Army entered the city through the Guang'an Gate. and went straight to the important strategic location in the city and the military camp of the Beiyang Army, and surrounded the Beiyang Army that did not react. Even if the generals of the Beiyang Army did not agree to surrender, it would not be of much use. Yanjing City has completely changed hands. (To be continued......)
