After talking with Wang Shuyi in the garden last time, both Zhang Anle and Wang Shuyi knew each other's thoughts, and this time things were much easier to handle. The fly in the ointment was that Liang Jingru and Lin Huiyin would make fun of this matter at every turn.This made Wang Shuyi very embarrassed, and Zhang Anle also took the trouble.

In the end, Zhang Anle had a solution, which was to live with Wang Shuyi.When the two saw that Zhang Anle and Wang Shuyi were living together so shamelessly, they stopped molesting them. They all lived together, and now these words are not easy for them.

August passed very quickly for Zhang Anle. The British delegation who had been in the Northwest for more than a month was very surprised by the development of the Northwest. Blair said that Zhang Anle was more suitable to be a governor than a general.After visiting the training of the Northwest Army, Brechet, who wished to have his eyes on the top of his head, had to admit that the Chinese army is still very effective.After returning to China, the inspection team had a high reputation for the Northwest Region, and they believed that Zhang Anle was a person worthy of cooperation.

Apart from the investigation team, what made Zhang Anle most happy was the establishment of the New Bohai Fleet.With these warships, no matter how powerful it is to fight against Japan, at least they will not let people drive the warships to the coastal waters to threaten them.What's more, the expansion of Qingdao's military port has been completed, and the second batch of purchased warships will arrive in Qingdao at the end of September. By then, the strength of the navy will be even higher.

In addition to strengthening the construction of the navy, Zhang Anle also established a military training center in Qingdao in order to strengthen the control of Qingdao.

According to news from various quarters, the Japanese have been very unstable recently, frequently contacting some domestic warlords.Zhang Anle was very worried about what the Japanese would do once the war broke out.

Duan Qirui, who had been refusing to budge on the issue of Jiang Deng's selection of the governor of Anhui, suddenly let go. On August 8, Jiang Deng was elected as the governor of Anhui.

Feng Yuxiang felt like he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.On the back is Li Jinglin, the governor of Zhili, on the east is Zhang Zongchang, the governor of Shandong, on the west is the Northwest Army, and on the south is Jiang Dengxuan. Feng Yuxiang became the turtle in the urn.

He began to think about self-help strategies. On the one hand, he expressed his favor to Wu Peifu in Hubei, and wrote a letter of repentance saying that he was deceived by the Soviets and Sun Yat-sen, and did something that was sorry to the commander-in-chief, and he was willing to support the commander-in-chief to regain power.On the other hand, he sent people to talk to Sun Chuanfang, saying that Sun Chuanfang had the courage of Sun Ce, and that the current situation in China depends entirely on the general's choice, and the general raised his arms and called out to us to respond.He also made friends with Li Jinglin and Guo Songling, and sent people to lobby Yan Xishan.

His efforts were not in vain, Yan Xishan began to flirt with him, and Li Jinglin and Guo Songling were also willing to continue communicating with him.

In the middle of the year, a news suddenly circulated in the society that Zhang Zuolin borrowed from the country to purchase new weapons with his coastal fishing rights as collateral, and planned to launch a war to invade Zhejiang and occupy Fujian in the spring of the following year.Sun Chuanfang was very worried about this. At this time, Jiang Fangzhen also wrote to him, saying that Zhang Zuolin asked Jiang Deng to choose the governor of Anhui, and Yang Yuting's governor of Su was the first step in the southern invasion. As soon as the spring begins in March next year, he will immediately launch an attack on Zhejiang and Fujian when new weapons are available. war.

Sun Chuanfang believed that the war with Fengjun was inevitable, and it would be better to take advantage of its unstable foothold and strike first than to wait for death.Therefore, he actively contacted the warlords in the southeastern provinces to discuss joint defense against the Feng army's attack.

On October 10, Sun Chuanfang held a secret meeting in Hangzhou to discuss the issue of sending troops to attack Feng with representatives of the Zhili and southeastern provinces.Attending the meeting were Zhou Yinren, supervisor of Fujian, Deng Ruzhuo, envoy of southern Jiangxi, Wang Pu, envoy of southern Anhui, Chen Tiaoyuan, commander of the Fourth Division of Jiangsu, Xiao Yaonan, supervisor of Hubei, and representatives of fallen warlords Qi Xieyuan and Ma Lianjia.The meeting decided to establish an alliance of Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces to form a five-provincial coalition force, promote Sun Chuanfang as commander-in-chief, and set up the banner of "supporting Duan and opposing Feng".The coalition forces claim to have 7 divisions, 20 mixed brigades and 20 infantry brigades with a total strength of 9.Sun Chuanfang also invited Wu Peifu to come out of the mountain to make a big effort together.

Who will fire the first shot? According to the geographical location, the Soviet army should be the first to fire, because the Soviet army and the Feng army lived in the same province.However, Chen Tiaoyuan, Bai Baoshan and others were afraid that they would not be able to defeat the Feng army, so they did not dare to attack first, so Sun Chuanfang volunteered and took the lead in raising troops.After the meeting, Sun Jun began to gather in Songjiang and Changxing in the name of the National Day military parade.

Wu Peifu is not idle at this time, he is engaged in nine provinces against the coalition forces, which nine provinces, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, Yun, Gui and Hunan.Xiao Yaonan, the governor of the nine provinces, Hubei Province, is still his old subordinate, and the other provinces are not under his control, so how did the joint defense of the nine provinces come about?Because Feng Yuxiang changed his past and was willing to follow the lead of the commander-in-chief, so Henan was obedient to him.Now Feng Yuxiang's Ma Fuxiang and Ma Hongbin represent Gan, and Liu Zhenhua, who has stepped down, also makes his debut, and the entangled thousands of old ministries represent Shaanxi.The other provinces are either small warlords or warlords who have stepped down.The nine provinces' anti-rebellion coalition forces are even more terrible, claiming to have a strength of 60 troops.

With the nine provinces plus Sun Chuanfang's five provinces, Wu Peifu established a 10-province coalition against rebellion. On October 10, Wu Peifu officially announced in Hankou that he had assumed the post of Commander-in-Chief of the [-]th Provinces' Allied Forces against Rebellion, with Sun Chuanfang and Feng Yuxiang as Deputy Commanders-in-Chief.The allied forces against rebellion are known as millions of soldiers, and they want to fight Zhang Zuolin to the death.

On the same day, Wu Peifu sent a telegram to the whole country, issued a manifesto against rebellion, and announced the ten crimes of Zhang Zuolin, who was called the president but was actually a national traitor.

On October 10, Zhang Zuolin announced that Sun Chuanfang, Wu Peifu, and Feng Yuxiang were rebels and wanted all over the country.

Zhang Anle announced in the name of the army chief that the so-called [-] provinces' anti-rebellion coalition forces are illegal armed forces and can be jointly opposed.

The war of words is the deployment that should be done in the war of words. Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan to block it if he could.

Yang Yuting replied that the mob like Sun Chuanfang should not be feared.I don't know where his self-confidence comes from. He also said so in front of the staff officers at the military meeting. Wu Peifu is a phoenix with its hair pulled out, and only Feng Yuxiang has the strength to fight. As for Sun Chuanfang, who is in danger of the Yangtze River, he can still fly over. ?

As a military officer, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the people below didn't take it seriously. The fortifications were also for errands, but the patrols were stepped up.

On October 10, Sun Chuanfang suddenly launched an attack, and heavy troops approached Shanghai.Shanghai now has a brigade of Yang Yuting and a brigade of Wang Dong.The two troops together have less than 13 people, and Sun Chuanfang's 2 troops raided Shanghai, and they were not prepared.The two sides fought fiercely for only 3 hours, and the insufficiently prepared Feng army had to retreat.

When Yang Yuting learned that Sun Chuanfang's troops had crossed the river, he was shocked and quickly ordered the troops in Shanghai to withdraw, while Wang Dong continued to stay in Shanghai under the cover of the Bohai Fleet. In this way, Shanghai is still under Wang Dong's control.

Yang Yuting, who had lost Shanghai, was very frustrated. Chen Tiaoyuan invited the senior generals of the Feng Faction to dinner and talked about the defense.Yang Yuting and other generals went to the banquet one after another. At the banquet, everyone looked at each other silently and drank their sorrows with wine.

The next day Yang Yuting woke up and found Chen Tiaoyuan at his home, "The warlord has woken up, what should we do now that the military affairs are urgent?"

"The sun thief is coming very aggressively. We have to avoid the limelight first. The commander-in-chief sent a telegram before to preserve our strength. I am ready and I can leave at any time." Yang Yuting subconsciously said these words just after waking up.

"The governor's words are right, then I'll set up a banquet to see the supervisor off today." Chen Tiaoyuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take a shower first, and we'll leave right away." Yang Yuting also said with a smile, he is not stupid, he knows that Chen Tiaoyuan has no good intentions, how could he let him go so easily when he made things difficult for him before? Own.

Chen Tiaoyuan didn't expect that Yang Yuting hadn't come out of the bath for a full hour. Chen Tiaoyuan couldn't help becoming suspicious. He called the door outside and no one agreed inside. He asked his subordinates to open the door and find out that this person who called himself "Little Zhuge" "The warlord has already slipped through the waterway.After leaving the house, Yang Yuting hurried to the station and took the car north.

Chen Tiaoyuan sneered at that time: "This elf ghost can never escape from Lao Tzu's palm."

Immediately, the Soviet army ordered the Pukou and Huaqiying areas to stop Yang Yuting's special car.According to the usual practice, all emergency military telegrams are translated from the end to the beginning, because the conclusions are all at the end.Unexpectedly, Yang Yuting's life should not be lost. The electrician of the Soviet Army in the Citi Camp was replaced by a novice. He translated the telegram from beginning to end.The special car was intercepted, but there was a ballast truck flying past in front of it. When everyone boarded the special car, they learned that the dignified supervisor was sitting in the ballast car and heading towards Jinan.

Yang Yuting arrived in Jinan from Pukou in a ballast car, got off the car and went straight to the Shandong Governor's Office for talks with Zhang Zongchang.

Naturally, Yang Yuting would not say that he had lost the battle and fled here because he was plotted against by his subordinates. He said that the reason why he took such measures this time was that he was afraid of disturbing Fengtian and affecting the safety of the Northeast, so he quickly withdrew all Fengjun troops in the south of the Yangtze River.

Immediately afterwards, he further explained the purpose of his visit to Jinan: "All the units of Fengjun in the south of the Yangtze River marched on foot and traveled long distances. I have come here to ask you to send troops quickly, and I also ask you to go out personally and command the army to sit in Xuzhou, and to borrow your prestige so that the Feng army retreating north can feel at ease and have something to rely on."

Regarding Yang Yuting's request, Zhang Zongchang actually didn't want to agree to it. He sent Lu Yongxiang to the post and fought against Sun Chuanfang before, and he knew that this Sun Chuanfang was not easy to mess with.He had to think of a way, and pushed the matter away.

Volume II Triple Legs Chapter 29 Strange Deployment

"It's not impossible for me to go. It's just that after the brigades of my first army arrived in Shandong, they were all organized into three brigades. Some of them are not fully staffed yet, and the fully staffed ones have just started training. Now the soldiers are paid, uniformed, and equipped with guns. The ammunition is very short, so I just pull it out, I am a meat bun beating a dog, and I will never return." Zhang Zongchang immediately agreed, and Yang Yuting was about to be happy, but he pulled his face down.

Yang Yuting knew that this was Zhang Zongchang's refusal. Among them, Zhang Zongchang was living a good life. Let alone the 300 million military salary he got from Shanghai, Zhang Anle alone gave him support.But these things could not be explained, so he had to speak again.

"Brother Xiaokun, the commander always said that you are the one who can conquer and fight well in our Fengjun. You also have a high status in our Fengjun, and you have no prestige. Now only you can stabilize the situation. You can't let the commander-in-chief go south from Beijing." Yang Yuting put a top hat on Zhang Zongchang, and at the same time hinted that if you don't do anything, you will be reprimanded by the commander-in-chief.

Zhang Zongchang is not a fool, so he can understand what he means, and he can only stand out in this form.It's just that he was a little reluctant to send troops like this.When beating Sun Chuanfang, the original direct lineage he incorporated cannot be counted on. If they defect before the battle, it will be over.In this case, we can only rely on the old troops in Shandong.

After Zhang Zongchang occupied Shandong, he recruited all the original troops, and did not reorganize them. The officers still commanded the original troops, but Zhang Zongchang's direct line troops looked down on the old Shandong troops. There is discrimination, even withholding of military pay, and the relationship is not good.

It's just that Zhang Zongchang had to use them at this time, so he immediately sent a telegram to summon Sun Zongxian, Shi Congbin and other local army generals.A military meeting was held in Jinan. At the meeting, Yang Yuting read on behalf of Zhang Zuolin, and appointed Zhang Zongchang as the commander of the joint defense of Zhilu, Jiangsu and Anhui.

"Let's not talk about those nonsense. This time you are called here because Sun Chuanfang suddenly launched an attack. The President ordered us to station in Xuzhou and Bengbu to stop Sun Chuanfang's troops. This time Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Feng Yuxiang and others rebelled one after another. , although I have an army of 20 in my hand, I still need to guard against Feng Yuxiang in the west and protect the people in the local area, so I decided to use Shi Congbin and Sun Zongxian's troops as the main force to fight this battle. I will personally sit in Xuzhou, and Shi Congbin will serve as the former enemy Commander-in-Chief, you will go to the military supply office to collect 50 yuan later. After winning the battle, I will give you a big reward! If you lose, Wu Peifu won’t make it easier for you, no matter how I deal with you!” Zhang Zongchang briefly introduced After looking at the situation, Shi Congbin and Sun Zongxian had no choice but to agree with threats and temptations.

"Don't worry, the governor, even if we are devastated and smashed to pieces, we will never let Sun Chuanfang step into Shandong." Shi Congbin, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, immediately stated his position.

Zhang Zongchang and Yang Yuting are very satisfied.

"Old General Shi is comparable to Huang Zhong, always strong." Yang Yuting smiled and patted Shi Congbin flatteringly.

Seeing that the dispatch of troops from Shandong had been confirmed, Yang Yuting left Jinan by car and headed north to Shenyang.Zhang Zongchang also set off immediately, leading Zhuxiang's brigade of guards, and rushed to Xuzhou first by armored train.

When Yang Yuting arrived in Shenyang, Zhang Zuolin was saddened and scolded bitterly.Then he calmed down and discussed with him about the transfer of troops into the customs.

Zhang Zuolin's Feng family is now in a semi-independent state due to his great family and business. Therefore, after Zhang Xueliang became the chairman of the Northeast District, he expanded the army. It reached more than 30. If you include Zhang Anle's troops, it can reach more than 70. This is more than 90 in real terms, which is much stronger than Wu Peifu's million soldiers.

The reason why he tolerated Yang Yuting's abandonment of Jiangsu was also because he wanted to preserve his strength. Now that he saw Yang Yuting's return, he sent a telegram to order Jiang Deng's troops to also rush northward to Beijing and Tianjin.

I don't know whether it was Zhang Zuolin's negligence or intentional, but the telegram to Jiang Dengxuan only said to let the troops go north, but did not expressly specify where the local officials would go or stay.This made Jiang Dengxuan very dissatisfied. He thought he was the governor of Anhui appointed by your president. You asked me to leave Anhui as a governor of Anhui, and he didn't mention any arrangements in the future. This is obviously because he only knows how to save his own troops and does not have himself as a general.

The more Jiang Dengxuan thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhang Zuolin sent several telegrams a day that he would not leave.

There is another reason why he is so annoyed. He has nearly 10 troops anyway, and you let me retreat northward if you don't fight me at all. This is clearly looking down on me, Jiang Dengxuan. Am I so incompetent? !What he despises the most is fleeing without a fight. When Yang Yuting retreated to the north, Jiang Dengxuan was very dissatisfied.

He said to his staff: "I have known Lin Ge (Yang Yuting's word Lin Ge) for so many years. He has always regarded himself as a little Zhuge, but today I know that he is actually incompetent. It’s not too late, why did you lose your troops and run away first?”

Jiang Dengxuan wanted to stay and stick to Bengbu, but how could Zhang Zuolin let him stay? He asked Zhang Zongchang to go to Bengbu to pick up Jiang Dengxuan and go north.Only then did Zhang Zongchang know that Jiang Dengxuan was still in Bengbu, so he hurriedly drove to Bengbu with the guards, got out of the car and went straight to the Governor's Office. Jiang Dengxuan was still there.

"Oh, my Uncle Jiang, what time is this, you are still staying here, hurry up and follow me." Zhang Zongchang shouted in a hurry as soon as he met.

"You came at the right time. You can judge whether I was appointed by him as the warlord, and the team was also ordered by him. Fortunately, something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yang Yuting ran away, and Fengtian's telegrams flew like snowflakes." Come, I only know to urge his team to retreat quickly. But I, the supervisor, didn’t say a word or give any instructions. I am a local official, can I move freely? If I don’t leave, I will die in Anhui.” When Jiang Dengxuan saw Zhang Zongchang coming, he just complained to him.

As soon as Zhang Zongchang heard it, it turned out that Jiang Dengxuan was awkward because of this matter. "I said when is the eldest brother, you still care about this, hurry up and follow me, you don't even stay in Anhui now. Why are you here on purpose? I'll pick you up, let's go quickly." After Zhang Zongchang said, he stepped forward and couldn't help saying, pulled Jiang Dengxuan and left.
