Beiyang reactionaries

If Liu Yunfeng was here, Cai E would have liked to pull him out and shoot him.

"It doesn't matter, let's go to Naxi first. Let's talk about it there. All the troops will continue to march toward Naxi."

"Yes."

Everyone left, only Cai E and Luo Peijin were left.Cai E said to Luo Peijin, "What does Chen Heng mean?"

"Swaying left and right, I just want to see how the situation develops."

"Damn."

…………

"Ma Jizeng is dead?"

"Yes. The news just came. The Wang Wenhua Division of the Guizhou Army defeated the three mixed brigades led by Ma Jizeng in a series of victories in western Hunan. Che Zhen's 39th Brigade was completely disintegrated. Has occupied Huangxian, Qianyang, Hongjiang, Yuanzhou Zhijiang, Mayang, Jingxian, Tongdao, Suining and many other counties. I heard that Ma Jizeng committed suicide in shame and anger."

The war to protect the country is in full swing.

Sichuan is considered a stalemate.The first echelon of the First Army of the National Defense Army in Syria has not made any progress, and of course the Beiyang Army has not regained Syria.As long as Duan Xun doesn't do anything, and Li Jishen and Shang Zhen's troops don't do anything, there is absolutely no way to recover Syria.There is the first echelon regiment of the Yunnan Army in Xuzhou, and there are thousands of recruiting troops from Xiong Kewu, so it is difficult to recover.And Luzhou was very calm for a while, because Cai E personally led a large army to Luzhou.

The Dian army and the Qian army led by Dai Kan started a tug-of-war between Qijiang and the Beiyang army.Wu Xintian’s No.14 Brigade of Zhang Jingyao’s Seventh Division, Wu Peifu’s Sixth Brigade of Cao Kun’s Third Division, Zhou Jun’s First Mixed Brigade of Sichuan Army’s First Division, and Li Bingzhi’s No.13 Mixed Brigade are currently in Qijiang.

The troops of the four brigades are placed here, numbering 6000 people.The number far exceeds that of Dai Kan's troops, but the Beiyang Army is working here and has been wandering around Qijiang.The Sixth Brigade, including Wu Peifu, was also doing foreign work, and did not fight well.

No one overwhelmed anyone.

This is Sichuan.

But I didn't expect the Qian army led by Wang Wenhua to be so powerful.Wang Wenhua is the nephew of Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, and the leader of the Guizhou New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. He was one of the main generals in the Xinhai Uprising in Guizhou.This time he led his troops to attack Xiangxi, but he never thought that he would win consecutive battles.

Ma Jizeng, that is Ma Jizeng.

Ma Jizeng's father was martyred in the Sino-Japanese War of 22-[-], so he was awarded the hereditary Yunqiwei posthumously.Ma Jizeng was able to enter the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy, dropped out of school at the age of [-], and served as the middle post of the third right battalion of the newly-built army under Yuan Shikai's department.From then on, he followed Yuan Shikai to make a fortune.

In the second year of the Republic of China, he became the commander of the Sixth Division of the Army.This time Cai E raised the banner of protecting the national flag, and Ma Jizeng was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the commander-in-chief of the first route of the rebel army, responsible for commanding all the Beiyang troops in Hunan to fight.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jizeng chose to commit suicide after losing consecutive battles.

This will have a big impact.

The whole situation in Hunan will become corrupt.It can be said that the situation of the two commanders of the Beiyang Army against the rebellious army is not good.Ma Jizeng, the commander of the first route of the rebel army, committed suicide, and Zhang Jingyao, the commander of the second route of the rebel army, suffered a disastrous defeat. He was ashamed to stay in Luzhou and went to Chongqing.

But Chen Ping just couldn't figure it out.

The Beiyang Army in Hunan has plenty of troops, so how could it be beaten by the Qian Army?It's not that Duan Xun underestimated the Qian army. The fighting power of the Qian army is shit in front of the Beiyang army.Even among the several provinces in the southwest, the strength of the Qian army is the weakest.

But you can understand it if you think about it.Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade has [-] soldiers, and it is a powerful force in the Beiyang Army.Feng Yuxiang's ability to lead troops is very good, and he is well-known in the Beiyang Army.Every time the Beiyang Army conducts internal military exercises, Feng Yuxiang's troops will make people's eyes shine.Moreover, Feng Yuxiang has the support of Lu Jianzhang, the leader of the Beiyang Army, and his weapons and equipment are quite good.But since it is said that his troops are retreating steadily, it is obvious that Feng Yuxiang does not want to fight with the National Defense Army at all.Otherwise, Feng Yuxiang would be really ruthless, not to mention Wang Wenhua's Guizhou army, even if he invaded Guizhou, he would have no problem.

This national defense war is really interesting.

These generals on the front line each have their own ideas, one is better at acting than the other, and one is better at working abroad.The last ones are the most "honest" people.Including Ma Jizeng and Zhang Jingyao.

"What about other places?"

"Li Liejun has led the Second National Guard Army into Guangxi."

"How about it?"

"I didn't encounter much resistance. Guangdong General Long Jiguang sent his younger brother Long Jinguang's army into Guangxi, apparently to stop the National Defense Army."

"Where's Lu Rongting?"

Duan Xun didn't care about Long Jinguang at all.Although Long Jinguang's strength is not weak, he is the Cantonese army after all, and belongs to the guest army in Guangxi, so he has no foundation.The most powerful in Guangxi is Guangxi General Lu Rongting.

Lu Rongting was already very powerful, and he was also Yuan Shikai's son and daughter.Before the outbreak of the War to Protect the Nation, Lu Rongting expressed his determination to Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai gave Lu Rongting a lot of weapons and ammunition.

With these weapons and ammunition, Lu Rongting has expanded his army a lot, and his strength is very strong, holding an army of tens of thousands.In Guangxi Lu Rongting is the master.

Lu Rongting blocked it, but Li Liejun had nothing to do.After all, Li Liejun's troops were pieced together, and there were only five thousand people in total.However, Lu Rongting's army was adapted from the patrol battalion in the late Qing Dynasty, and its strength is still very strong.

"His troops did not make any movement, and did not cooperate with Long Jinguang to encircle and suppress Li Liejun."

"It seems that Lu Rongting is also looking at the situation. But yes, Lu Rongting has friendship with Cen Chunxuan and Liang Qichao. The biggest promoters of this war to protect the country are Liang Qichao and Cai E."

These powerful factions used their actions to tell Yuan Shikai what a stupid decision it was to choose to be emperor this time.

Although Duan Xun knew the history, but Duan Xun did not dare to relax a bit during this time.Because history is history, and the specific situation is the specific situation, if you don't pay attention to yourself, you will be crushed by history.

Therefore, the information from all parties is analyzed every day.

"Teacher, the situation will change drastically if this continues."

"You said."

Deng Hanxiang is now Duan Xun's first secretary and Duan Xun's staff.Every day, I help Duan Xun with various intelligence.

"Teacher, look. There were still many troops who were going to enter Sichuan, but now the situation in western Hunan has changed drastically, and many troops can only stay in Hunan to stabilize the situation. In this way, Sichuan will be in the same situation as it is now, unless there are major changes. Otherwise, the situation will only continue to be stalemate."

"kindness."

"Teacher, this is a good opportunity. Cao Kun has already entered Sichuan. At this time, our Luzhou defense line has become the most important place in the entire Sichuan campaign. Use this time to ask Cao Kun for money, weapons, and ammunition. Cao Kun has A lot of weapons and ammunition."

"good."

Duan Xun nodded.

Cao Kun, as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, has a lot of resources in his hands.Including the supplies that have just arrived in Sichuan, they are all in the hands of Cao Kun.

It's time to put pressure on Cao Kun.

Especially now, Zhang Jingyao failed in Luzhou, Ma Jizeng committed suicide in Xiangxi, Cao Kun needs a role model.That is Duan Xun who won the Naxi defense battle, and Cao Kun also needs Duan Xun to work hard.

"However, Commander. The current situation seems to be very unfavorable to the President. Don't say anything in Hunan. Once anything happens in Guangxi, the National Defense Army will immediately enter Guangdong. Guangdong is Sun Yat-sen's stronghold. If it becomes a front line, the situation in the entire southeast will deteriorate. Once such a situation really occurs, it will be very difficult to clean up the situation."

"What do you think?"

"Teacher, I guess if the situation continues like this, the position of the emperor as the president will not be secure."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Then he thought for a while and said, "You help me generate electricity, and ask Mr. Duan what he means."

"Yes."
