Chapter 11 The Northern Expedition

Zhang Xiaofan has been in this world for seven years, and he is still single, which is rare, of course, it has something to do with his identity.

In order to maintain mystery, Zhang Xiaofan has always lived alone.

After being in a daze for a while, I was awakened by the bell from work, and remembered that I had to go to Liu Yongfu to submit the Northern Expedition plan, so I casually cleaned up the table and went out.

Liu Yongfu is already fifty-six years old, but his face is majestic, and he can't see the slightest bit of old age, and the cultivation of the Divine Realm can at least provide him with a lifespan of about one hundred and fifty years, and the current age is just the right age for him.

"Ah Kan, call your father and ask if he is still in the office," Zhang Xiaofan packed up his clothes, Liu Yongfu described himself as orthodox in the Han family, and he had extremely strict dress requirements.

Since Sun Yat-sen vacated his Mao suit, Liu Yongfu has personally helped to check and guide the dress of every visitor who is not dressed properly.

It's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Zhang Xiaofan thought that he was dressed quite neatly, but he was also caught by Liu Yongfu several times, all because his sleeves or pockets were not buttoned.

Ah Kan's name is Liu Jihan, he is Liu Yongfu's son, he has been an assistant by his side for two years, his family style is good, he does things very smoothly, he treats visitors very respectfully and politely, and his means and eyes are not bad, the only thing he lacks is that he doesn't like to practice.

It also took a lot of elixir for him to raise his realm to the innate realm, and the next step was to rely on his own cultivation slowly. The twisted melon is not sweet, and the skill accumulated with the elixir, the higher the realm, the easier it is to go mad.

Liu Jihan called his father, but before he got off work, the two came to Liu Yongfu's office, and coincidentally, Huang Feihong was also there.

"Brother Fan," Huang Feihong's eyes were a little embarrassed, Zhang Xiaofan smiled and signaled that he didn't need to say much, Zhou Shaoyun was not reliable in doing things for a day or two, and he was familiar with himself, and he handed over the charity meeting to Zhou Shaoyun to organize, although there were no achievements, but he had already expected it.

The three of them sat down, Liu Jihan served tea to the three of them, and then withdrew, and went out with Huang Feihong and Liu Yongfu's assistants to prepare lunch for the three giants.

"Xiaofan, can you go on a northern expedition?" Liu Yongfu didn't finish reading all the information, only read the first chapter, then raised his head and asked.

"Yes," Zhang Xiaofan took out a box of cigarettes and handed them over.

The three of them lit cigarettes together and looked at the materials silently.

Waiting for Liu Jihan and the three of them to put the meal on the table, Liu Yongfu was the first to put down the information.

After Huang Feihong put down the information, the room was already full of smoke.

"Brother Fan, do you want to call Yixian and Haodong about this? Let's talk about the three of ......"

"Yixian and Haodong naturally want to call over to discuss, but they will have to wait for a while," Zhang Xiaofan smiled and waved his hand, and the smoke from the room was sent outside.

"This time in the Northern Expedition, we have to compare all the merits and one battle." Zhang Xiaofan said, took out a strategic map, and said: "This is the strategy of the Northern Expedition and the march route of the Northern Expedition designated by the General Staff last month. I made a preliminary reference and thought that except for the fact that the steps in Liangjiang were a bit big, the rest of the place was not bad. ”

"Zhang Zhidong is now the first person under the Qing court in the north, and he occupies the important land of the two rivers, and he is very impressive in foreign affairs, which is just a little worse than us. Although the production plan of the General Staff Department is very close to reality, because a lot of secret information has not been contacted, it is inevitable that the production plan will be slightly wrong. ”

Liu Yongfu said, took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Xiaofan, pointed to the marching route, and said: "Sichuan and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can be bigger steps, after all, we have laid a solid foundation in the past five years. ”

Huang Feihong raised his head and asked, "In this case, what if we directly face the Shaanxi army and the Jin army and attract their alliance?" ”

"Feihong, your Dragon Banner Army has been eating dry rice for the past few years? Are even a small Jin army and Shaanxi army afraid? ”

"I'm not afraid of the Shaanxi army and the Jin army, but I'm mainly afraid of too many casualties, after all, they are all Han Chinese."

Liu Yongfu was full of confidence in the Northern Expedition, and Huang Feihong was also full of confidence, and quickly made up his mind, and finally decided that at the regular government meeting next Monday, Zhang Xiaofan would submit the Northern Expedition issue to the parliament.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.

Zhang Xiaofan originally thought that the entire parliament was his own people, even if he was a little surprised, but the opposition would not appear, at most it was a matter of details.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, three government parliamentarians protested and refused to discuss the Northern Expedition.

"Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? Zhou He'an, who was in his fifties, was the first to protest, and a five-character quatrain by Cao Zhi resonated with several people.

Zhou He'an is the brother of Zhou Shaoyun's family, and he is also the eldest brother of Huang Feihong.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect that there would be such stubbornness among the parliamentarians, when did it happen, and he still "boiled beans and burned beans", and the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth.

After Zhou He'an nodded to everyone, he looked at everyone with a look of expression and said: "Now that our republic has just been founded for five years, it is a good time to strive for development. In this report, it says that the chaotic situation can be ended within a year, in my opinion, it is a big blow and a lot of exaggeration, and we can't ignore the people of the world just because we have won a few battles......"

Directly put yourself on the line. If it weren't for Huang Feihong's face full of surprise, he would have thought that this was a sign of Huang Feihong's seizure of power.

But think about it, since the establishment of the Qilin Army, the other legions have rarely shown their military might in front of people, and these councilors still treat their 500,000 fighting troops as if they were militia.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Xiaofan was not angry.

Moreover, the Xuanwu Army and the Fengqi Army, as special troops, have never been shown in front of people, and these councilors naturally do not know the strength of the Seven-Color Legion.

He who does not know is not guilty.

It is only when there is controversy that democracy appears, although the final word is final, and the majority obeys the minority.

This time the Northern Expedition had a total of three routes, and Liu Yongfu led an army of 150,000 troops from the eastern front to attack the forces of Liangjiang and Zhangzhidong from Fujian. Huang Feihong led an army of 200,000 from Jiangxi to the north through the two lakes to join Liu Yongfu in the area of Anhui and Suzhou.

Zhang Xiaofan's army of 150,000 on the west road pressed on Sichuan and Qinghai-Tibet, expanded to the northwest, and after taking Sichuan and Qinghai-Tibet, he had the opportunity to make an offensive posture to Gansu, Shaanxi and Jin as soon as possible, ensuring that the middle and east roads could easily reach the Central Plains.

In Chinese history, the war of unification was generally from north to south, and the only time from south to north was the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Historians have analyzed many reasons, such as comparisons of combat effectiveness, customs, and the difficulty of the Civil War.

In order to unify the Central Plains, Zhang Xiaofan also spent a lot of thought, and the southern ship and the northern horse could not be offset with a single sentence. The first time armored vehicles and tanks were delivered to the battlefield, it would definitely amaze the world, and the appearance of airships and improvised planes would play a decisive role on the battlefield not only to observe the enemy's situation, but also to have enough new gunpowder.

Zhang Xiaofan gave face to the parliamentarians, in order to win over and corrupt the warlord forces in the north, so that these parliamentarians and the north were involved in business dealings.

But when the fake is the truth, the truth is also false.

These parliamentarians have made their business all over the country, and they have not only made a fortune, but also paved the trade roads all over the country. Now that there is a war, it is necessary to destroy the monopoly business of these parliamentarians, and it is strange that they can agree to it.

In the parliament, because of the number of people, the army has not been dominant, and the representatives of the local government and the comptoirs, ICBC, and local gentry occupy more seats in the council.

These people have forgotten the fundamentals of making money.

The army set off quietly, and when Zhang Xiaofan was still arguing with the parliament, the three-way army had already appeared on the border of power, and the appearance of telegrams and telephones shortened the distance.

Zhang Xiaofan made a phone call, and the three armies fired the first shot of the Northern Expedition at the same time.

When the battle guns rang out, the parliamentarians realized that they had been deceived, but in the face of a strong army, they could only pinch their noses to provide logistics for the army. These legislators remember what side they were on, and if the war was lost, their businesses would be hit even harder.

When everything began to run in an orderly manner, Zhang Xiaofan shook hands with Huang Feihong and Liu Yongfu and said goodbye, called the twelfth generation aircraft, and flew towards their respective battlefields.

The 150,000-strong army did not appear on a single line, but played four iron fists, and deployed a large number of troops in Guiyang, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Qamdo. Three-quarters of Guizhou has been swallowed up by the junta, and the rest of the northern part is mainly left with local Miao Tusi.

In order to reduce the fighting, nearly 5,000 members of the Dragon Group were distributed in the spheres of influence of various ethnic groups such as Miao, Zhuang, Zang, Hui, Wei, and Mongolia, and rebelled against the local kings.

The strong republic is the most powerful tool of persuasion, and the earth kings have to bow their proud heads in the face of the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals for their own wealth, and announce their naturalization of the new government.

Therefore, the main task of the 150,000 army led by Zhang Xiaofan is not to fight, but to quickly open up roads in various places, and 30,000 of the 50,000 Beidou troops are here with themselves, just to be able to guide the local new government in a timely manner, open new roads, and facilitate the control of the new government.

When the roads are opened, communication will be convenient, and what will be more convenient is the new government's control over the localities.

Within a month, the entire territory of Sichuan and Guizhou was captured, and the negotiations with the Dalai Lama and Panchen/Zen reached a stalemate, and there were some different requirements for the future division of power.

It doesn't matter, seek common ground while reserving differences, everyone is a Chinese family, there is no need to blush.

The Potala Palace talked slowly, and the toasts below quickly received the goodwill brought by the new government.

Because Zhang Xiaofan is holding the fire of light in one hand and the butcher knife in the other.

Although there is a conflict of beliefs, the meaning of survival is still the same, it is to continue to live happily.
