Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Zuoxiang also understood this principle very clearly, so after launching the offensive, there was no room for maneuver, it was as if Mount Taishan was overwhelmed and destroyed.

The dense artillery has smashed the southern city wall, and the vanguard of the Feng army went deep into the city.Follow-up troops also frantically poured in.Some Kyrgyz troops still wanted to resist, but they were all solved by Fengjun with pistols and grenades.

Near the city wall, there is also a green brick compound, where a lot of high-ranking men and women are fighting desperately. At this time, a Fengjun soldier tied several grenades together and climbed tens of meters. Approaching the gate of the yard, he hurled a grenade over.

At this time, there was an earth-shattering sound, and the bricks, tiles and limestone were blown to pieces.The dust shot straight into the sky, and several guarding soldiers were killed immediately. Feng Jun successfully entered it and eliminated all the people inside.

At this time, the Fengjun Brigade had basically occupied Nanguan, and the Jijun was retreating steadily.The army was defeated, and at this time the east gate and west gate were also breached.Of course, this is not Feng Jun's credit.It was done by merchants in the city.Meng Enyuan closed the Jilin General Chamber of Commerce and arrested a large number of businessmen.

This group of businessmen had been expecting Fengjun to come in, so they bought the soldiers guarding the city and opened the city gate when they saw that the Ji army was almost defeated.The soldiers of the Feng army were on three sides, and the Ji army could no longer hold on, retreating like a tide.

At this time, Gao Shibin just came back from the Japanese, and Wu Taian hurriedly asked: "Brigade Commander, what's the matter, if the Japanese don't send troops, we will be finished!"

"Damn, those little devils are simply not human. They let us hold on first. They only need to hold on for two or three days before they can transfer the troops."

"Two or three days?" Wu Tai'an blew his beard and stared and said, "Can you keep talking for two or three hours?"

Before Wu Taian's words hit the ground, a shell exploded only 100 meters away from them. Five or six soldiers were blown into pieces and flew into the sky. The surrounding buildings were also damaged. Gao Shibin and Wu Taian panicked.

"Brigade Commander, retreat quickly, or we will die here!"

Gao Shibin gritted his teeth and stomped his feet fiercely. At this point, he could only turn around and run away.As soon as he ran, the entire Ji army collapsed. It can be said that the army was defeated like a mountain.The soldiers threw their guns everywhere, and someone grabbed a horse and ran away.Some people saw that the Feng army had already killed them, so they could only take off their military uniforms and sneak into the houses, trying to hide it and get there.

At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang had commanded the army to sweep over. On the one hand, he asked Feng's army to step up the pursuit of the deserters, and on the other hand, he wanted to arrest prisoners and restore order in Siping. It must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a disease.

Just when Zhang Zuoxiang was rushing to restore order in the city, Gao Shibin was gathering the remnants of the defeated generals and wasted no time escaping for their lives. When he came, he brought more than 3000 people, all of whom were carefully trained by him, but a battle ended. All he could gather was a thousand or so men, and he lost more than 2000 cavalry.

Gao Shimin's heart was bleeding. Originally, these cavalry were his greatest capital. He didn't have enough power, so how could he be so domineering? Now, he was almost beaten back to his original shape after the First World War. .

But at this moment, he didn't care about anything else, he could only run away desperately, not to let the pursuers come up to him, he ran for more than [-] miles in a row, finally took a breath, and then continued to run away.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Gao Shimin thought it was reinforcements coming, so he was very happy and urged his horse to go over to have a look. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. They lined up, revealing five chariots, all with their guns pointed at them.

With one order, five tongues of flame spewed out, and most of the people around Gao Shibin were killed in an instant. He was lucky enough to barely escape the shooting, but at this time he was already dying.

Isn't this the kind of weird carriage that he encountered in the first battle? Gao Shimin knew the benefits of this thing, so he could only run away without daring to fight.

However, his luck was obviously bad, and soon a few more chariots appeared in front of them and started shooting at them. He was so angry that he went crazy, and at the same time, he was so frightened.

His soldiers are getting fewer and fewer. The enemy's chariots are not the same as ordinary soldiers responsible for intercepting them. The opponent's mobility is hardly inferior to them. After the fight, these chariots will move forward quickly, because they are The four teams are basically one team blocking, and the other three teams speeding up and maneuvering to get ahead and get ready.

After adopting the wheel tactics, these chariots are like tarsal maggots, constantly dangling in front of them, biting off a piece of meat from time to time, without being polite at all.Gao Shibin wanted to avoid these chariots, but they had already arranged for scouts and did not give them a chance to escape.

Gao Shibin also got ruthless, so he simply let the soldiers rush forward to destroy these nasty chariots. As a result, you ran fast, and the chariots were not slow. When you slowed down, the chariots also slowed down. There was a strange situation on the ground, the pursuers were always at the front, facing the heavy loss of his men, Gao Shibing almost went crazy.

Chapter 2 Eleven Candidates for the New Capital

Soldiers were shot dead one after another. Gao Shibin felt the chills coming from the back of his head. No one could tell whether the next bullet would land on his head. Judging from the current situation, as long as it fell on Feng Jun In the hands of him, he will definitely not end well. Gao Shibin thought about it and decided to run away as soon as possible.

However, these chariots were like a dog's skin plaster, and they couldn't be separated at all. There were obstacles in front, and the pursuers were about to kill them, which really pushed Gao Shibin to a dead end.However, as he ran, Gao Shibin discovered that there was a dense jungle not far ahead, and the current season was when the vegetation was verdant, as long as he got in, those pesky chariots couldn't stop him.

Therefore, as if Gao Shibin had grasped the life-saving straw, he ordered his subordinates to continue to move forward as a cover, and then quietly sneaked into the woods to escape for his life. When he entered the dense forest, the war horse was useless, so Gao Shibin had to run wildly on two legs instead. , one foot deep and one foot shallow, there are many mosquitoes and insects in the mountains, there are also deadly black bears and tigers, and there are poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, and there are murderous intentions everywhere.

After Gao Shibin ran in, his subordinates also found out, and some people also ran in, but most of them chose to surrender. The risk of entering the mountain was still too great, and Feng Jun would not fight with a bunch of big heads. Soldiers are in a difficult situation, so this group of people took the initiative to become bandits.

"Master, the results of the battle have been counted. We killed more than 600 of Gao Shibin's subordinates and captured more than [-] people. In addition, most of the Kyrgyz army broke up and fled everywhere. Should we continue to pursue?"

Sun Anhu asked Zhang Zuoxiang for instructions. After Zhang Zuoxiang thought about it, he said: "If we are broken up, we will not be able to threaten us for the time being. It is important to march to Changchun as soon as possible. We must put strong pressure on Meng Enyuan. Only when the Feng army arrives in Changchun. Those forces that are dissatisfied with Meng Enyuan can Jump out."

After Zhang Zuoxiang gave the order, the Feng army took a break and continued to march. Originally, Gao Shibing was still deploying defenses between Gongzhuling and Yitong, trying to stop the Feng army.But now the leader has disappeared, life and death are uncertain, and the people below have no fighting spirit, and their defense is too loose, and their strength is not strong enough.

After being bombarded by Fengjun's artillery, they all scattered and fled.Zhang Zuoxiang led the army to Kuanchengzi without hindrance.At this time, when the business people in Changchun heard that the Feng army was close at hand, their waists stiffened immediately, and they organized one after another, went out of the city to work, and brought Zhang Zuoxiang's army into Changchun.

Feng Jun quickly defeated Gao Shibin.The news of the soldiers entering Changchun spread quickly, and the reactions of all parties were quite different.After Zhang Zuolin got the report.Naturally, he was very excited and praised repeatedly.

"Quick battle, Fuchen played just right, now we have the initiative in our hands."

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, there are nearly 1 men in the Gao Shibang's army. They are all the elite forces of the Jilin Army. Now they have been beaten to pieces, and Meng Enyuan has no trump cards in his hands. I think we should attack Jilin directly. The provincial capital Get it, and the whole of Jilin is our world." Zhang Jinghui said loudly, his tone full of joy, among these old brothers, his position is considered the lowest, and there is no promotion in a short time Maybe, if Jilin is won, Zhang Zuoxiang will be promoted, and he will be able to take a step forward. Zhang Jinghui thinks about the relationship very clearly.

However, Sun Liechen on the side shook his head: "Commander, I heard that the Japanese have gathered troops to Changchun and warned us not to exchange fire within the attached territory. If a shell falls into the attached area, they will take action." They have taken action. Moreover, they have expressed serious concern about the safety of the Japanese nationals, and they want to send soldiers to protect the nationals. I think the Japanese do not want us to continue fighting.”

"That's right, if the fight continues, Meng Enyuan's influence in Jilin will collapse." Yang Yuting said: "Commander, I think it's better to march as soon as possible, take Jilin with lightning speed, and drive Meng Enyuan away, otherwise you won't be killed and you will be killed." Cheng Enyuan, Meng Enyuan will definitely fight against us in the future."

Zhang Zuolin rolled his eyes, nodded, and shook his head again: "Meng Enyuan really needs to be captured, but we can't just rely on fighting. The source is the clearest."

Wang Yongjiang hurriedly said from the side: "Master Mingjian, after Fengtian's financial gap has reached tens of millions over the years, we need to develop education, develop agriculture, and invest in industry. Each of these is a huge investment. For the time being, Fengtian will definitely not be able to come up with enough money. .”

At this time, Zhang Zuolin was obviously very clear-headed. He knew Fengtian's financial problems, and he did not blindly rely on force like a ghost. This made Zhang Tinglan very pleased. In the fight for hegemony in the customs, the Fengjun was seriously injured, and finally lost the three eastern provinces.

It would be great if Lao Zhang could realize this, but Zhang Tinglan was still a bit unwilling. He didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to occupy Jilin, so he said, "Marshal, if military expenses are taken into account, I don't think there is any need for it. We You can use the future trade tax revenue between Jifeng and Fengzhou as a guarantee, and you can get a loan from the bank, and it will not be a problem to get 500 million."

According to Zhang Tinglan's wishful thinking, as long as Meng Enyuan is captured, the business ties between Jifeng and Jifeng will definitely be closer, and the tax revenue will be doubled. For the industrial group, it is also a good opportunity to expand, so there is nothing wrong with taking the initiative to bear military expenses. impossible.

The smile on Lao Zhang's face remained undiminished: "Zhuoyan, it really is a good way to make money, but three to five million is not enough, the old Duan has already done it."

Duan Qirui, the new prime minister, could not just sit idly by when Jifeng was fighting. On the contrary, he was seriously dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's instigation of war and expansion of territory. He mobilized three armies successively. , approached Changchun, and went straight into the back of Zhang Zuoxiang's troops.

In addition, Zhang Xun, the patrol envoy of Mengjiang, took action, and the braided army went north, threatening Fengtian's flanks, and at the same time mobilized troops in the pass to approach Shanhaiguan.The three-way army attacked from three directions, and the deterrence is still very strong, but one thing is very regrettable, that is, the mobilization speed of these troops is far behind the Feng army. Before they can complete their mobilization, the Feng army has already defeated Gao Shi The bridesmaid won the first line of Changchun.

Another point is Zhang Xun. This old guy has just been appointed as the patrol envoy of Mengjiang. Originally, he only controlled one city in Xuzhou. Now he controls three provinces. It seems that the power in his hands is expanding very quickly, but the old guy is suffering Knowing that the combined tax revenue of these three provinces is not much higher than that of Xuzhou, and there are more places to spend money, and he has to face the harassment of Mongolian bandits, Zhang Xun said he was fooled.

As a result, Fengtian threw an olive branch to Zhang Xun at this time, and the two sides joined forces to engage in smuggling and develop border trade. Fengtian Bank agreed to pay Zhang Xun 200 million yuan first, which immediately solved Zhang Xun's urgent need and allowed him to quickly straighten out the situation in the three provinces , so Zhang Xun is grateful to Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Xun acquiesced to Kan Chaoxi's Chifeng post, and of course Chifeng's taxes would be handed over to him in the future.After getting Lao Duan's order this time, although Zhang Xun also dispatched troops to respond, he secretly told Zhang Zuolin the news and asked him to take precautions.

"Although Zhang Xun won't really fight with us, we have to guard against Lao Duan's actions."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan is also completely awake. It is true that relying on force alone is definitely not going to work. Zhang Tinglan also noticed Lao Zhang at this time. It seems that this Marshal Zhang is not too worried. On the contrary, he looks confident. Most likely Zhang Zuolin already had a solution, so Zhang Tinglan simply stopped talking.

Lao Zhang is becoming more and more powerful, sometimes he has to know how to advance and retreat, and in the public, he must give Lao Zhang enough opportunities to show his inscrutability.

Zhang Zuolin glanced at his confidant and beloved general, and then said: "You all perform your own duties. In addition, I say that you must encourage the business circles in Jilin to jointly write a letter to Beiyang to replace Meng Enyuan, and you must also mobilize public opinion to make him such evil He moved out of the industry, ruining his reputation and losing his prestige."

After Lao Zhang finished giving orders, everyone dispersed. As soon as Zhang Tinglan came out of the tiger hall, he bumped into Zhang Xueliang head-on.

"Student Zhang Hanqing, if I remember correctly, today is not a day for rest. You ran home, tell me, what kind of punishment do you want?"

Zhang Xueliang immediately said with a playful smile: "Zhuoyan, I am not playing truant, my father asked me to come back."

"Oh? Since when did the commander-in-chief become so talkative? Are you lying?"

"I don't have the courage. Let me tell you the truth. My elder sister and brother-in-law are here, and my father asked me to go home to accompany the guests."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan remembered that Zhang Xueliang had a sister who was three years older than him, named Zhang Shoufang.A few years ago, Zhang Zuolin's original partner Zhao passed away, and Zhang Shoufang, the elder sister, took on the mission of taking care of her brothers. She was said to be an elder sister, but she was actually a half-mother.

Later Zhang Shoufang also got married, and her son-in-law was Zhang Zuolin's younger brother, Bao Yinglin, the son of Bao Guiqing, the current director of the Beijing Lecture Hall.

But after Zhang Tinglan heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally thought of what old Zhang was planning.Since Lao Zhang is not prepared to fight and wants to win Meng Enyuan, he must find a suitable successor, especially one that Duan Qirui can recognize.
