Beiyang reactionaries

The same goes for Xu Shuzheng's East Road.
The five mixed brigades of the Northwest Frontier Army, plus some other troops, have all been routed.Moreover, since Zhang Zuolin's Feng faction entered Zhili, he has begun to reorganize the Northwest Frontier Army's mixed brigade.
It gave Duan Qirui a huge blow.
Until now, Duan Qirui couldn't believe that such a thing happened.Obviously, a few days ago, the Anhui faction had an absolute advantage in the whole country, and my side even fought against Cao Kun.But why did the situation change so much in just three days.
Fu Liangzuo, Chief of the Army Department, also had a gloomy face.
As one of Duan Qirui's Four King Kongs, although Fu Liangzuo has always been Duan Qirui's direct descendant, Duan Qirui has always valued him very much.But Fu Liangzuo has been suppressed by Jin Yunpeng and Xu Shuzheng.Finally, Jin Yunpeng and Duan Qirui had conflicts, and Fu Liangzuo had the opportunity to become the chief of the army.
But lost.
The 10,000+ elites of Qirui in the Gyeonggi area were completely lost within a few days.
"Old Zhi (Duan Qirui), do you really have to make a choice?"
"Where is Shaoqing (Zhang Shuyuan)'s troops?"
Although Duan Qirui knew that the current situation was very unfavorable, he didn't want to leave Beijing like this.So I still asked Fu Liangzuo, wondering if other Anhui troops could come to help him.
The first thing that comes to mind is Zhang Shuyuan.
Because Zhang Shuyuan's troops are in Shandong, the closest to Beijing.As long as Zhang Shuyuan is willing, tens of thousands of troops can enter the Zhili area to fight.
"gone back."
"gone back?"
"Yes. Originally, Governor Zhang's (Zhang Shuyuan) Fifth Division had already entered the East Road battlefield, but Youzheng (Xu Shuzheng) left the battlefield, and the East Road troops were defeated. The Fifth Division also immediately withdrew to Shandong."
In addition to their superficial abilities, these generals of the Beiyang Army also have extraordinary eyesight.Zhang Shuyuan mobilized Shandong troops, especially the fifth division of the vanguard has entered the East Road battlefield.But he had a good nose, so he immediately noticed something was wrong.Especially after Xu Shuzheng left, the entire east army was defeated, and Zhang Shuyuan noticed it.So Zhang Shuyuan immediately retreated with the fifth division, left the battlefield, and returned to Shandong.
Because Zhang Shuyuan has self-knowledge.
The Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army, it can be seen from the designation that he is very powerful, because this is the foundation of the Fifth Division of the Beiyang Army.But don't think that he is very powerful. In fact, this army has been stationed in Shandong for many years, and now it has 9000 people.
It has completely become a local army. Compared with other troops of the Beiyang Army, the situation is many times worse.
How dare you fight against Cao Kun's troops.
"Where is De Gong (Duan Xun)?"
"Since Mr. Qu (Qu Tongfeng) was captured, Degong stepped up his operations in Hubei. All important cities in Hubei were under the control of Degong's troops, and two divisions of the Shaanxi Army troops were mobilized from Shaanxi. Yu. Degong sent a telegram, asking Zhi Lao to hold on for a while. After defeating Zhao Ti's troops currently going north, he will immediately send his troops north to support Beijing."
"Can we hold on?"
Duan Qirui regained his spirit immediately.
At this time, Duan Qirui was suddenly very angry with Wu Guangxin, his brother-in-law.If Wu Guangxin can stabilize his position at this time, he can hold off Zhao Ti.Then Duan Xun's troops can go north to support Beijing.
I still have some possibilities.
But Wu Guangxin, Duan Qirui's brother-in-law whom Duan Qirui trusted very much, couldn't help at this critical moment.Instead, Wu Guangxin ran away, making the situation in Henan unpredictable.
"Old Zhi, don't talk about defeating Zhao Ti's army first, even if De Gong's army is too late to go north now. Wu Peifu's army is less than half a day away from Beijing, as long as he is willing, he can reach the city of Beijing tonight. The army is really overwhelming now. Zhi Lao, you need to decide."
Duan Qirui slowly closed his eyes.
pain.
Duan Qirui has also left the central organization several times since the Revolution of [-].When they were sent to clean up areas that the Beiyang Army had not yet controlled, such as rectifying Hubei and encircling and suppressing Bailang, they were all to strengthen the Beiyang Army's control over this area.There are also times when I compete with the president and leave Beijing.Duan Qirui left Beijing before Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne, during the "controversy" with Li Yuanhong, and during the war of protecting the law.But every time Duan Qirui was able to make a comeback.
Because every time Duan Qirui leaves, Duan Qirui's strength remains unchanged.
But this time is different.
The 10,000+ elite troops that Duan Qirui relied on most were wiped out in just a few days, which also made Duan Qirui lose the power to deter the whole country, and also lost the power to lead the Anhui Department.Of course, the Anhui Department is still strong at present.
Still control half of China.
But Duan Qirui knew.
These Anhui warlords have lived in the local area for a long time, controlling the finances and the army, and each of them is already full-fledged.You can see this by looking at the Zhiwan War.Several powerful warlords in the Anhui Clan did not take an active part in this war, and they all watched Duan Qirui and Cao Kun fight.
For example, when Zhang Shuyuan was in Shandong, the Fifth Division was dispatched to cooperate with Xu Shuzheng only after the Zhiwan War began.However, Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang with nearly 8 troops, only stared at Shanghai, and had no intention of thinking about the war in the north.Anhui Governor Ni Sichong is a warlord with deep experience and strong strength in the Anhui Clan. He holds the Anwu Army and the Dingwu Army (the troops left by Zhang Xun), two direct-line troops of the Beiyang Army, plus the local troops of the Anhui Army.In the Anhui faction, Ni Sichong's strength is relatively strong, but Ni Sichong also stands still.
And Duan Xun, whom I love and trust the most.
Since Duan Xun announced the crusade against Guangxi, everyone could see that Duan Xun was aiming at Guangxi.If Duan Xun transferred half of the tens of thousands of troops that were put into the Guangxi battlefield to Henan, they could all attack Cao Kun from behind, and such a thing would not happen.
Duan Qirui understands that the Anhui Department is not an organization with very strict discipline, but only those people around Duan Qirui.Even if these Anhui warlords continue to support Duan Qirui in the future, Duan Qirui's control over them will also decline unprecedentedly.Because these people can see Duan Qirui's weakness.
The elite created by Duan Qirui single-handedly performed poorly in the Zhiwan War, which greatly reduced Duan Qirui's prestige.If he goes down this time, Duan Qirui really doesn't know if he can come back in this Beijing city.
"Qing Festival (Fu Liangzuo)."
"Old Zhi."
"You help me prepare a speech. I announce that I will resign from all positions, especially the position of border guard supervisor. Let Gong Xinzhan also issue a telegram and resign as the prime minister of the cabinet. Don't wait for Cao Kun's troops to enter Beijing and forcefully dismiss the cabinet. It's not good for anyone."
"Yes."
Fu Liangzuo looked at the tired-looking Duan Qirui, not knowing how to comfort him.
Disillusioned?See through officialdom?
Fu Liangzuo never believed in that.For Duan Qirui and Fu Liangzuo who are in high positions and who have tasted the highest power in this country, wanting to leave the political arena and lose power is definitely more uncomfortable than killing them.
But defeat is defeat.
There is no possibility of recovery from this battle.
The 10,000+ Anhui elite troops directly controlled by Duan Qirui were wiped out, although Duan Qirui still had some troops in his hands.But now the Anhui troops are like frightened birds, trembling when they hear Wu Peifu's name, and they can't fight at all.And seeing Duan Qirui's failure, not one or two came to make trouble.
Zhang Zuolin's large troops began to pour in, Chahar Governor Cai Chengxun, and Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan all had troops on the move.
It can only be down field.
For the current Duan Qirui, admitting defeat and decently announcing his resignation is the best result.It would be much more embarrassing if he persisted and was finally forced to step down by Wu Peifu's troops, or even deposed by President Xu Shichang.
Therefore, it is the best choice for Duan Qirui to announce his resignation now.
Fu Liangzuo sighed and walked out.
I went outside and looked at the sky in Beijing, and realized that Beijing no longer belonged to Duan Qirui, and no longer belonged to the Anhui Clique.This time is different from the previous times when I left Beijing. This time I was completely driven out.
"Hey--"
