Beiyang reactionaries

Will Gu Pinzhen really cooperate with Duan Xun?Even if Gu Pinzhen had a bad relationship with Tang Jiyao, he wouldn't be able to cooperate with Duan Xun.

"General Yu, it is estimated that in the next few days, General Gu will be appointed as the governor of Yunnan. Because our general Duan has recommended General Gu Pinzhen to the position of governor of Yunnan to Prime Minister Duan. After I finish talking with General Yu, I will Go south and talk to General Gu about the future."

Yu Enyang's face was cloudy and uncertain.

It was really difficult for Yu Enyang to make a decision.Yu Enyang was angry with Tang Jiyao, but if he let go of a way, he would let Wu Ding out.Then Duan Xun's troops pointed directly at Kunming.Although it was said that Gu Pinzhen was appointed as the governor of Yunnan, Yu Enyang knew that even if Duan Xun could not control Yunnan, as long as the troops entered Yunnan, he would be able to influence Yunnan.

"General Yu, just now my Sichuan Salt Company has decided that the 'Rongqinghe' firm will obtain the monopoly qualification to sell Sichuan salt in Yunnan and French Indochina. This is a very happy event, and I think General Yu should also know."

"you……"

Yu Enyang wanted to say something, but he paused and didn't say it.The "Rongqinghe" firm that Deng Hanxiang mentioned was the firm opened by Yu Enyang's brother Yu Enrong.How could Yu Enyang not know what Deng Hanxiang meant.

As a general of the Yunnan Army, Yu Enyang knew how much Sichuan Salt's profit was.

My elder brother got the sales of Sichuan salt in Yunnan and the share of exports to French Indochina, so it was an instant thing to make a fortune.It is estimated that the annual profit is hundreds of thousands. With this, my brother can easily become a rich man.

And if so, how will everyone see themselves?Everyone will definitely doubt their relationship with Sichuan, otherwise why Yu Enrong got such a qualification.There are not a few big merchants in Yunnan who are more powerful and have more channels than Yu Enrong.

"By the way, General Yu. You may have heard that the Beijing government has just approved the establishment of a branch of Chongqing Customs in Wanxian County, Sichuan Province. Therefore, the Sichuan Provincial Government has decided to establish a special Wanxian Special City. The person in charge is General Dan Maoxin. Dan Maoxin In the report given by General Duan to us, General Duan recommended a person to be the director of the Planning Bureau of Wanxian Special Zone City. It is said that this person is studying gardening in Japan, studying horticulture and urban planning, and his name seems to be Yu Enci."

Deng Hanxiang said it with a smile.

Yu Enci, Yu Enyang's youngest brother.What I studied in Japan was gardening and urban planning.It's just that he can't use his skills in Yunnan at present, so he opened a tobacco company.However, the tobacco company founded by Yu Enci was squeezed out by foreign tobacco companies and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now Duan Xun is willing to give Yu En a chance, a chance to display his talents.

Yu Enyang frowned.

Of course Yu Enyang knew that Duan Xun did so many things just to fight for himself.After all, he had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wuding, which happened to block the way for Duan Xun's troops to go south.Moreover, his own Fourth Division of the Yunnan Army is also an elite among the Yunnan Army.

"General Yu, our request is very simple. We don't need your troops to attack Tang Jiyao, we just need to make way for us, just let Wu Ding out. I believe everyone will understand General Yu. After all, Tang Jiyao is sorry for General Yu. "

Yu Enyang closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Let me think about it?"

"Okay, General Yu."

104 Soldiers are precious and fast

"Secretary."

On the evening of December 1917, 3.

Zhang Zizhong, head of the second regiment of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, brought the second regiment to Wuding and met Deng Hanxiang who was waiting here.Deng Hanxiang came to Wuding early to negotiate with Yu Enyang, and finally persuaded Yu Enyang to give up Wuding and give way to Duan Xun's troops.Deng Hanxiang is a figure at the top of Duan Xun's army. After the reorganization of Duan Xun's army, Deng Hanxiang has been serving as the secretary-general of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion.

Very golden location.

Deng Hanxiang usually takes care of the trivial affairs of the military governor's mansion, or Deng Hanxiang is responsible for the general daily affairs of the Sichuan army.Sort out the affairs of the Sichuan army, and then write a report to Duan Xun. This kind of power is almost equivalent to the Sichuan military assistant, and there is a tendency for the Sichuan army to be the second in command.Although Zhang Zizhong is a direct line officer who is very important to Duan Xun, but now he is only a mid-level officer, just a regiment commander, and he is not considered a high-ranking military official.

So seeing Deng Hanxiang, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.After all, Deng Hanxiang's current status in the army is higher than Fang Dingying, the commander of his fourth mixed brigade.

"Commander Zhang, your troops are faster than I thought."

Deng Hanxiang was very surprised.

Huili, where Zhang Zizhong's troops were stationed in Syria, was far away from Wuding.Unexpectedly, it took four days for Zhang Zizhong's troops to arrive in Wuding.When he first contacted Zhang Zizhong's troops, Deng Hanxiang was taken aback.

"In Sichuan, there is nothing more reliable than two legs."

Zhang Zizhong replied immediately.

Deng Hanxiang nodded with a smile.Although Sichuan is said to be relatively wealthy in the southwest, Sichuan's unique geographical environment has led to a very poor traffic environment in Sichuan.At present, there are not many good roads in Sichuan, and you can see some in Chengdu and Chongqing.

In many places in Sichuan, even horse-drawn carriages cannot pass through.

Under such circumstances, two legs are the most reliable for the army.When the Beiyang Army was in the north, it relied on railways to mobilize troops.This includes Beijing, Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Hunan.But it is impossible to enter Sichuan, or it is the case in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan, where the traffic conditions are extremely poor.Therefore, an important training content of Duan Xun's troops is running, which is to improve the marching speed and adapt to the traffic characteristics of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces.However, the marching speed of Zhang Zizhong's troops is still surprising.

"Commander Zhang, how is the situation of your troops?"

"In order to increase the speed of the march, the cannons of the troops were left behind. We marched lightly."

"kindness."

Deng Hanxiang had expected this.

With such difficult roads in Sichuan and Yunnan, it is impossible to come to Wuding so quickly with cannons.These heavy weapons must have been placed in the back, so that the logistics troops behind could bring them up.

However, Deng Hanxiang didn't ask this, so he said: "Commander Zhang, after a long-distance raid, do you still have the strength left?"

"Secretary-General, although it is a forced march, my troops have no problems and can go to war immediately."

When Deng Hanxiang said this, Zhang Zizhong immediately understood what it meant.Deng Hanxiang nodded, pulled Zhang Zizhong to the front of the map, and said: "Commander Zhang, if you continue to go south, you will encounter the Third Division of the Dian Army led by Tang Jiyu. At present, a regiment of the Dian Army's Third Division is deployed in Ji Street, their main force is in Fumin. They would never have imagined that your troops have come to Wuding, and their scouts have never dared to send them here, for fear that Yu Enyang's troops will detain them."

Deng Hanxiang briefly introduced the situation of the Yunnan Army.Zhang Zizhong immediately reacted and said, "The secretary-general means to surprise them?"

"kindness."

Deng Hanxiang nodded, then looked at Zhang Zizhong.Although Deng Hanxiang's status is very high, he is a lieutenant general in Duan Xun's army, and he is also the secretary-general of the Governor's Mansion, and he has a prominent position in the army.But this time when he entered Yunnan, Deng Hanxiang's job was to reconcile the issues between Duan Xun's entry into Yunnan and the Yunnan Army.Although the power is great, it is not qualified to command the frontline troops.

So he's just suggesting at best.

Whether or not to make a surprise attack depends on the decision of the advance troops, that is, Zhang Zizhong, head of the third regiment of the Fourth Mixed Brigade.Zhang Zizhong can choose to raid Jijie, or he can choose to occupy Wuding and wait for the follow-up troops to come.

Zhang Zizhong didn't immediately obey because Deng Hanxiang, the leader of the army, because Deng Hanxiang didn't have command power, so he couldn't command Zhang Zizhong.And the most important thing is that I have a force of more than 2000 people, and my decision is related to the fate of more than 2000 people.Moreover, Chicken Street is the north gate of the rich people, and the influence of laying down Chicken Street is not small.As the vanguard, you need to be very cautious.

Zhang Zizhong needs to think about it and make a judgment.

"Secretary-General, do you have any information about Chicken Street?"

"There is simple information. The Ninth Regiment of the Third Division of the Dian Army led by Tang Jiyu is currently stationed in Jijie. The number of troops should be about the same as yours."

"Then hit."

Zhang Zizhong made up his mind.

Take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.Zhang Zizhong's troops marched very fast, nearly half the time faster than ordinary troops.Being able to reach Wuding within four days was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.Zhang Zizhong even believed that the marching speed of his troops was among the best among Duan Xun's troops.

Deng Hanxiang didn't even expect it, let alone the Yunnan Army.

During the War to Protect the Nation, it took nearly 20 days for the Yunnan Army to enter Sichuan from Kunming.However, Zhang Zizhong's troops could reach Kunming in ten days at the current marching speed.

The Dian army never expected that Zhang Zizhong's troops would be so fast.

That's the advantage.

Hit him by surprise.Although your own troops currently do not have cannons, it will be more difficult to attack.But Chicken Street is not a big city, not even a city, and it can be taken down even without artillery.

"Secretary-General, do you have a detailed map of the vicinity of Chicken Street?"
