Beiyang reactionaries

"Well, that's right, this should be 'Qing Jun's side slaying treacherous ministers'."

You can't fight like bandits grabbing territory. If you want to fight, you're a hooligan.At Lu Yongxiang's level, they have to be famous in war.First carry out a period of verbal crusade to complete the public opinion offensive.Then in war, this is the right way.

dry.

First fight with Cao Kun and the others, and when it's almost done, attack the Zhili in the name of 'eliminating traitors'.Of course, Lu Yongxiang himself is very self-aware. He never thought of attacking Cao Kun and the Beijing government alone. Lu Yongxiang has only one goal from beginning to end, and that is Jiangsu.

Lu Yongxiang's current goal is to control Jiangsu. After he reorganizes the strength of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, he will be eligible to compete in the Central Plains.

"You are fully responsible for this matter, and concentrate your firepower on Cao Kun."

"Yes."

284 Tension 2

Lu Yongxiang was angry, and so was Lu Rongting in Guangzhou.

There is no secret at all, and of course Duan Xun never thought of keeping it secret, it was originally to stimulate Lu Rongting and Lu Yongxiang.Therefore, the news that Duan Xun sold a mixed brigade weapon to Li Chun and a mixed brigade weapon to the Guangdong Army soon became known to all parties.

Lu Rongting was furious in Guangzhou.

Duan Xun is really not a son of man. While selling weapons to himself, he also sells weapons to Chen Jiongming.Relying on your own arsenal, you play yourself and the Cantonese army like this.Isn't it just that you use weapons to make money on both sides, and then watch us both fight.In order to increase his strength, Lu Rongting gave Duan Xun all of the Guan Yu part to buy weapons.

Damn.

In terms of military strength, Lu Rongting has an absolute advantage.Even the Guangdong Army, Dian Army, Guizhou Army, and Zhejiang Army in Guangdong did not have as many troops as Lu Rongting.But when it comes to the elite, Lu Rongting's troops fought against the Cantonese army several times, but they didn't take advantage.

Although more than half of the Cantonese troops are recruits, they are far superior to Lu Rongting's Guangxi troops in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will.

Therefore, Lu Rongting is very afraid of the Guangdong Army.

If the Cantonese army is not driven away earlier, the future of Guangdong is really not necessarily who has the final say.And anyway, this is Guangdong, and I and my army are guest troops.In this regard, compared with the Guangdong Army itself, it is very disadvantaged.

"The weapons arrived in Guangdong?"

"No. According to the information we have received, the batch of weapons has just left Shanghai and is on its way to the south. It is estimated that it will take a few days to reach Shantou. It will take at least ten days to enter the hands of the Guangdong army."

"Ten days, ten days, there is still time, there is still time."

Lu Rongting was very angry, but he relaxed a little.

The army does not mean that it can expand its army when it has weapons, and it does not mean that it can fight wars when it expands its army.After all, troops still need training.It took about ten days for this batch of weapons to reach the hands of the Cantonese army. It would be impossible for the Cantonese army to use these weapons to expand its army and form combat effectiveness within a few months.At least three or four months ago, even if the army was expanded, it was still a recruit army, with no combat effectiveness.

"Marshal, judging by the current situation, there is a possibility that another war will break out between the Zhi and Anhui branches of the Beiyang Army."

Li Jingcheng who was sitting next to Lu Rongting spoke.

He is one of Lu Rongting's rare civil servants, and he previously served as the governor of Guangxi.After losing Guangxi, he came to Guangdong and currently serves as the governor of Guangdong.He is Lu Rongting's trusted advisor.

"Do you think there will be a fight?"

"There will be a fight. And I'm sure there will be a fight within two months. Cao Kun has already started fighting, Anhui is in chaos, and Ni Sichong has already resigned. Now Gansu is also in chaos, and when Fujian becomes chaos After that, I believe that Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang couldn't sit still anymore. They will definitely fight back. And since Cao Kun has already attacked several provinces in the Anhui Department, he will definitely not give the Anhui Department too much time. The entire province is in chaos, and after Duan Xun's energy is restrained, a war will be launched."

"Two months? How does this count?"

"Commander, recently we got news that Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu, spent a huge sum of 500 million yuan to buy equipment for three mixed brigades from Duan Xun. Within one and a half months, that is, before mid-June, the weapons will be completed Hand over everything to Li Chun. Commander, think about it, how could Lu Yongxiang wait until Li Chun expands his army before fighting. Therefore, even if Cao Kun did not strike first, Lu Yongxiang would do it. Within a month, the two sides will definitely fight. Even if the two sides really endured for two months, it will not exceed three months."

"Correct."

Lu Rongting nodded.

Li Jingcheng's analysis coincided with Lu Rongting's thoughts.

The situation is clear now.

The two factions of Zhi and Anhui have reached the point of fighting again, regardless of whether Cao Kun or the Anhui faction will fight first, they will definitely fight within two months or three months.Thinking of these, Lu Rongting couldn't help but said: "Duan Xun, this bastard, treats others as toys and plays with them in the applause. He is trying to provoke everyone to fight, and then he will benefit from it. And we clearly know what he thinks, But he can only go according to his ideas. Damn bastard."

How many people in this world are fools.

In fact, there are not many really smart people in this world, but there are also not many real fools.Everyone has a normal IQ, and everyone can see simple things.Duan Xun, the shit-stirring stick, suddenly decided to sell weapons to Li Chun and Chen Jiongming, and everyone could understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

But if you understand it, you understand it, and everyone can only accept it.

Look at Li Chun and Chen Jiongming.

They knew that Duan Xun was not kind enough to sell them weapons, but they could only spend a lot of money to buy weapons.Because they have no choice, they can only buy weapons if they want to expand their army.Facing threats from Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting, they had to buy weapons to defend themselves.

They knew that buying weapons would stimulate Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting, but they still had to buy them.You can't stand still.

And the same goes for Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting.

Knowing that Duan Xun sold them weapons, he was trying to sow discord between them and ask them to fight.But even if they knew what Duan Xun meant, Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting had to fight.

Because it won't work if you don't fight.

You can't just watch your opponent's strength increase.What Duan Xun is playing is the most typical conspiracy. Everyone knows the result, but they have to follow the steps arranged by Duan Xun.

Thinking of this, Lu Rongting became furious.

Duan Xun is a bastard.

"Two months, two months. After two months, a mixed brigade of the Cantonese Army may become an army. Although they are recruits, as long as they are well trained, they can still go to the battlefield."

"Marshal, it probably won't take two months."

"kindness."

Lu Rongting nodded and said: "Let the troops get ready. We don't need to wait for them to fight. We can do it when they are about to fight. In that case, it will probably take one to one and a half months. The Guangdong Army No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to train a mixed brigade in such a short period of time. This time, we must drive Chen Jiongming and the others out of Guangdong."

"Yes."

…………

There were problems in Anhui and Gansu, and the situation in the whole country became chaotic.

Gansu is of course the most chaotic.

Five horses drove Zhang, and the four guardian envoys of the Hui nationality in the eight towns of Gansu have issued a statement to expel Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu.This is already going all out, completely breaking with Zhang Guangjian.

Ma Fuxiang also went all out.

Because Cao Kun sent someone to promise Ma Fuxiang that as long as Ma Fuxiang could successfully expel Zhang Guangjian, the Beijing government would be willing to appoint Ma Fuxiang as the governor of Gansu.This moved Ma Fuxiang very much, so after analyzing the pros and cons, he chose to drive Zhang Guangjian away.

After all, there is no Duan Qirui behind Zhang Guangjian.

And the current situation in Gansu is very favorable.Pei Jianzhun, the guardian of Hezhou, supported the expulsion of Zhang Guangjian, while Lu Hongtao, the guardian of Longdong, had an ambiguous attitude, which resulted in Zhang Guangjian not having much strength.

So after issuing the statement, Ma Fuxiang immediately met with several Hui generals, and ordered Ma Qi, the guardian of Xining, and his nephew, Ma Hongbin, the commander of the Ningxia New Army, to lead troops into Lanzhou.
