Beiyang reactionaries

Zhong Tidao was taken aback.

With an unbelievable expression, he said: "He, he, can't be crazy."

Chen Heng, that is Chen Heng.

Revolutionary parties like Zhang Lan and Luo Lun took turns to persuade Zhong Tidao, but Zhong Tidao never dared to act, at most he turned a blind eye to the activities of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party.The reason is simple, that is, Zhong Tidao is afraid of the Beiyang Army.

Before the situation became clear, Zhong Tidao dared not make any decisions.Regarding Chen Heng's order, Zhong Tidao was at most obedient and obedient, but he dared not directly say that I don't obey your order.Because of the strength of the Beiyang Army, Zhong Tidao had lingering fears.

Just like Zhou Jun, the commander of the First Division of the Sichuan Army.

Does he like Beiyang Army?

Shit.

The Sichuan Army hated the Beiyang Army the most, Chen Heng the most, and Zhou Jun the one who hated Duan Xun the most.Because the Beiyang Army or Yuan Shikai played with Zhou Jun's Bole Hu Jingyi, and let Hu Jingyi beat chickens and eggs in Sichuan, and he didn't get any shit.As for Chen Heng, needless to say, Zhou Jun's First Division of the Sichuan Army was the first to attack after entering Sichuan.Originally, Zhou Jun's First Division of the Sichuan Army was the most powerful in the Sichuan Army, and Zhou Jun also had a very high status in the Sichuan Army.But there was only one brigade left that was suppressed by Chen Heng, and this brigade was sent to Luzhou, and the brigade commander became Xiong Xiangsheng.Duan Xun is not a good thing either.He blackmailed Zhou Jun when he came, and later directly annexed Xiong Xiangsheng's army, which was actually Zhou Jun's army.Zhou Jun didn't like any of these people, and even said he hated them very much.

But what about the result?When Liu Cunhou, commander of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army, rebelled, Zhou Jun was the first to inform him.Because no matter how much he hated Chen Heng, Duan Xun, and the Beiyang Army, Zhou Jun also admitted the strength of the Beiyang Army, and he was not optimistic about the future of the National Defense Army at all.

The same is true of Zhong Tidao.

I was afraid of the Beiyang Army and Chen Heng in my heart.

But I didn't expect Duan Xun, a little boy, to be so courageous, to directly blackmail, or directly threaten Chen Heng.

"Biao Lao (Zhang Lan), General Cheng Wu (Chen Heng) was threatened by Duan Xun just like this?"

"In the current situation, Duan Xun holds a heavy army and guards an important place in Luzhou. Even Cao Kun has to rely on him. Moreover, Duan Xun is Duan Qirui's nephew and son-in-law. What can General Chen Heng do now? There is nothing around him. A trustworthy army. Facing a disobedient general like Duan Xun, General Chen Heng can't do anything for a moment."

It turned out that Chen Heng was nothing more than that.

For a moment, Zhong Tidao actually had such an idea.In his own eyes, Chen Heng, who was extremely powerful, had no way to deal with a kid like Duan Xun, and even came to beg him.

"Brigade Commander Zhong, this is a good opportunity. Now Chengdu is empty of troops, and Chen Heng has no defense force at all. Once he enters Chengdu and raises the banner of anti-Yuan in Chengdu, the whole Sichuan and the whole of China will be shaken. At that time, the momentum of the National Defense Army will increase greatly, and Brigadier Zhong will definitely be famous in history."

Zhang Lan immediately responded to Cong Yong.

good chance.

At present, even Chen Heng's guard troops are going south to fight, and Chengdu has no troops at all.Although Zhong Tidao has only two regiments, he has been stationed in Shunqing for many years.With a wave of arms, it is still possible to easily mobilize thousands of troops in a short period of time, or Zhang Lan and his revolutionary party can help Zhong Tidao expand his army by several thousand people.At that time, thousands of troops entering Chengdu must be the most powerful troops in Chengdu.Once Chengdu is under control, the situation will be quite different.

Chengdu, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan.

"Yes, Brigadier Zhong. This is a great opportunity. You will be a great contributor to the re-establishment of the Republic. This is an opportunity to leave your name in history."

The same is true for Luo Lun next to him.

Zhong Tidao was also very excited.When I think of the emptiness of Chengdu's defenses, and when I think that I can enter Chengdu, I feel very excited.Could it be that he also has the opportunity to become the master of Chengdu?

But Zhong Tidao is a soldier.

I didn't want to agree directly, so I thought for a while and said, "You two, let me think about it, please? I still need to discuss it with others."

"of course."

"Brigade Commander Zhong, don't miss this opportunity and never come back again. You have to make a decision quickly."

…………

"Master, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zhong Tidao knew that the matter was serious, so he called a meeting of his trusted officers.Let me briefly explain the current situation to you.In fact, Zhong Tidao really wants to enter Chengdu.

Zhong Tidao's general Li Wanlan was the first to speak.The two were classmates and partners for many years.When Zhong Tidao was the commander of the [-]rd Division of the Sichuan Army, Li Wanlan was the brigade commander below.

He is Zhong Tidao's direct descendant general.

Therefore, even though Zhong Tidao's troops had been reduced to the Second Mixed Brigade of the Sichuan Army, Li Wanlan still called Zhong Tidao the division commander.

"Say."

"Does the general think the Beiyang Army is strong?"

"Of course it's powerful."

Zhong Tidao did not hesitate.The people here are all generals of their own direct line, and it is useless to hide it all the time.Whether the Beiyang army is strong or not can be seen from the performance of the Sichuan army when Chen Heng entered Sichuan.

Chen Heng almost completely dismembered the Sichuan army, but whoever dared to say anything, did not accept it silently.It was all because the strength of the Beiyang Army deterred these Sichuan troops.

"Then, Commander, do you think the Beiyang Army is stronger or the Yunnan Army is stronger?"

"Northern Army."

"Then who do you think will win the War to Protect the Nation?"

Zhong Tidao, who always answered quickly, did not answer immediately this time.Li Wanlan looked at the clock and thought deeply, and continued: "Even if Yuan Shikai wins the war to protect the country and Yuan Shikai abolishes the imperial system, do you think the Beiyang Army will be destroyed. Will the National Defense Army be in charge of Beijing in the future?"

"how can that be."

Zhong Ti shook his head.

The outcome of the War to Protect the Nation cannot be predicted by Zhong Tidao, after all Zhong Tidao is just a general.In the end, Yuan Shikai won and continued to be emperor.It was still the victory of the National Defense Army and Yuan Shikai's abolition of the monarchy. Zhong Tidao couldn't judge.

But there is one point in which one can judge.

That is, no matter how the war of protecting the country is fought, will Yuan Shikai abolish the imperial system, will everyone reviled and betray relatives as many people said.But the group of the Beiyang Army is still the ruler in China and will not be wiped out by the National Defense Army.

This thing is completely certain.

毕竟那可是北洋军。目前北洋军直辖和依附在北洋军的部队有33个陆军师、97个混成旅（含部分步、骑兵旅）、33个混成团（含部分独立步、骑兵团），总兵力达100万人，其中一半以上为北洋嫡系部队。也就是说目前北洋军光是嫡系部队就有50多万人。

It is not uncommon for an Anhui military governor like Ni Sichong to have 30 to [-] troops under his command.Other Beiyang troops stationed in Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Hubei totaled [-] to [-].

This time, in order to suppress the National Defense Army, Yuan Shikai mobilized more than 10 direct troops of the Beiyang Army.In Sichuan, there are Cao Kun's Third Division, Zhang Jingyao's Seventh Division, and three mixed brigades. These troops alone have more than 5 people.The same is true on the Hunan side. The Beiyang Army has a total of 6 to [-] troops.

Even if Yuan Shikai was defeated in the War to Protect the Country and the monarchy was to be abolished, so many Beiyang Army troops would not perish.The troops of the National Defense Army can only occupy one or two provinces at most, and it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Beiyang Army.Without Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang Army still has big men like Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang.Even if the southern provinces are lost, the Beiyang Army will still firmly control the northern region.

Even the southern region cannot be completely captured by the National Defense Army.Looking at Hunan now, the Qian army, which was originally invincible, is currently resisted by the Beiyang army, unable to move forward at all.

"It doesn't matter how the war to protect the country is fought. If Yuan Shikai is not in charge of Beijing in the future, then people like Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Li Yuanhong must be in charge. It will never be the turn of the National Defense Army to rule Beijing."

"That's right. Commander, what can we get if we are stationed in Chengdu now, but we will become the first bird. People like Cao Kun and Duan Xun will directly target the commander. Duan Xun's 68th regiment is in Neijiang, away from the city. Chengdu is very close. If we move in Shunqing, I guess Duan Xun's troops will also move to Chengdu."

"Ge Laozi, how many troops does this Duan Xun have?"

Zhong Ti frowned.

Duan Xun is really incomprehensible.Li Wanlan said: "Master, anyway, Duan Xun's mixed brigade is not an ordinary mixed brigade. I heard that Duan Xun deployed tens of thousands of people in Naxi, but he still has the energy to occupy Neijiang and blockade Longchang, Rongchang, Hejiang and other places. Yes... But sir, it is also possible after careful consideration. After all, after Duan Xun came to our Sichuan, he first annexed Liu Xiang's third regiment, and then annexed a regiment of Wu Xiangzhen's fourth mixed brigade. Not long ago, he even annexed A brigade of Xiong Xiangsheng. There are 5000 to [-] people in these troops alone. And I heard that after he occupied Luzhou, he recruited a lot of troops in the local area. After half a year, I thought he should have recruited thousands of troops."
