Beiyang reactionaries

"How's the situation?"

"Prime Minister, everything is going according to plan."

"Is everything finished?"

"Yes. When our troops confront Lu Yongxiang's main force and we have no time to take care of other things, we will detonate all the bombs. At that time, Lu Yongxiang will definitely be caught off guard, and he will not be given time to react. At that time, he will be on the front line Your troops will surely be defeated."

After the fight, Duan Xun almost lived in the command room of the Ministry of War.

Even if Duan Xun is not in charge of the specific command, Duan Xun still works here, because there is nothing more important than war right now.Therefore, many matters of the cabinet are also decided in the command room of the Ministry of War.However, Duan Xun has handed over the ordinary affairs of the cabinet to Dai Kan and Wang Yongjiang. Duan Xun is more concerned about the current war situation.Duan Xun has been preparing for so long and made so many preparations, how could there be only this little military action now.

There are many other measures.

The real big bomb hasn't started yet.

It's just that it's not yet time to detonate.Duan Xun listened carefully to Yang Yongtai's report, because Yang Yongtai was in charge of many contacts with people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

After listening to Yang Yongtai's report, Duan Xun turned his head to Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang next to him and said, "Ren Chao (Li Jishen), Cichen (Xu Yongchang), what is the current battle situation? Tell me about it."

Xu Yongchang is the chief of the general staff.

Therefore, he immediately stood up and said, "Teacher, according to the plan, our troops mainly focus on deterring Zhejiang. The troops have begun to enter southern Zhejiang, but there is no conflict with Pan Guogang's First Division of the Zhejiang Army. They have always avoided Zhejiang. The First Army Division and the police force avoided Xia Chao. And there were not many military operations in southern Zhejiang. The Zhejiang Army First Division and the police force also kept retreating, unwilling to fight us."

"kindness."

Pan Guogang, the governor of Zhejiang, and Xia Chao, the governor of Zhejiang, are both the targets of Duan Xun's wooing this time.Because these two people are not considered to be Lu Yongxiang's closest descendants, and they even have some conflicts with Lu Yongxiang.If you win over the two of them, then the problem in Zhejiang can be solved directly.Therefore, although Duan Xun deployed more than [-] troops in Fujian and Jiangxi, he did not attack Zhejiang violently. Instead, he focused on political offensives and supplemented military offensives.

So the troops just entered southern Zhejiang to put some pressure on Pan Guogang and Xia Chao.

Let them know how to choose.

"At present, our troops have swept across the northern Anhui area, and the whole process has been very smooth. Those local militia groups dare not fight with us. As for the two Anhui mixed brigades in Bengbu, we have been in contact with us, and they have been bargaining with us, and They don’t want to conflict with us. Among them, the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Anhui Army even directly expressed their willingness to give up Bengbu. However, Xie Hongxun’s Fourth Division of the Zhejiang Army went north and stationed in Tongcheng, so we are going to let the No.16 Army go south directly in Tongcheng and Zhejiang The fourth division of the army exchanged fire, and Xie Hongxun's fourth division of the Zhejiang army was firmly nailed to Tongcheng."

"Xie Hongxun?"

"Teacher, in Anhui, only Chen Leshan's 3th Division of the Central Army and Xie Hongxun's [-]th Division of the Zhejiang Army are the most resolute and our biggest opponents. The combined number of the two troops is more than [-], and their combat effectiveness is still very good. If both of their troops are in Anqing, it will be very troublesome for us to attack Anqing. Now Xie Hongxun's troops go north to Tongcheng, which is actually beneficial to us."

"kindness."

Duan Xun and Xie Hongxun are classmates, but Duan Xun has only a vague idea about Xie Hongxun, and he can't even figure out what he looks like.Because when he was studying in Baoding Military Academy, Duan Xun was Zhao Litai's lover, the supervisor of Baoding Army Military Academy, so he had a good relationship with those students who were former officers of the Beiyang Army.Usually play with them.

For an unremarkable student like Xie Hongxun, Duan Xun really didn't play with him, and he didn't have much impression of him.

If Duan Xun hadn't investigated their information, Duan Xun would not have known that Xie Hongxun, Lu Yongxiang's number one fighter, was still his classmate.Normally, this kind of relationship is useless, but sometimes it is very useful.

Now the two sides are enemies.

But once the war is over, with such a classmate relationship, Xie Hongxun can easily defect to Duan Xun and become Duan Xun's capable subordinate.

"Go on."

"As for Jiangsu, He Fenglin has led a large army and managed Xuzhou very well. Our troops have carried out several tentative attacks in Xuzhou, and found that their defensive positions are good. If we attack Xuzhou by force, I guess the casualties will not be large. would be too small."

"kindness."

So far no major fighting has broken out.

Overall, however, it went according to plan.The reason why no major war has broken out so far is because Duan Xun, the cabinet, and the Ministry of War are all waiting for an opportunity.

"Prime Minister."

While Duan Xun was talking with Yang Yongtai, Li Jishen, and Xu Yongchang, Yang Jie walked in.Holding a telegram in his hand, he came to Duan Xun's side and said, "Prime Minister, this is a telegram from Anhui."

"Anhui?"

"Yes. Is it the letter written by Wang Pu, the commander of the Third Mixed Brigade of the Anhui Army, to the Prime Minister?"

"Letter to me."

Duan Xun was surprised.

Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet. This time, Duan Xun is not directly responsible for the battle.At most, Duan Xun listened to the report of the Ministry of the Army, and all the combat plans were formulated by the Ministry of the Army.

And for Lu Yongxiang's army, Duan Xun is most concerned about Lu Yongxiang's direct line troops, as well as the Zhejiang army, the former Jiangsu army, and so on.

As far as the Anhui army is concerned, Duan Xun only knows the origins of the Dingwu Army and the Anwu Army, and the information of some of their chief officers, that's all.Because among the current Lu Yongxiang troops, the Anhui troops are the worst, and they are still in a state of disunity.Duan Xun had also heard of Wang Pu, and had read his information.

Good ability.

And very smart.The last time there was a "conflict" between the Marine Police Force and his troops, nothing actually happened.The two sides just fired their guns, and when Xie Hongxun's troops arrived, the ships of the Marine Police Force left the Anqing Wharf by themselves.

Fairly smart and friendly.

But Duan Xun only knew that Wang Pu was Ni Sichong's son-in-law, but he had never met him.He wrote to himself, what qualifications did he have to write directly to Duan Xun?

This is not Duan Xunduan's airs, but the reality.

At this time, Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet.Wang Pu, a mixed brigade commander of the Anhui Army, is far away from Duan Xun by thousands of miles. What qualifications does he have to write and talk directly with Duan Xun?Now there are more than one million troops in the country, and there are more than a hundred officers above the division commander level alone.It is an officer at the division commander level. Unless he has a personal relationship with Duan Xun, he is not qualified to write directly to Duan Xun.Wang Pu, a brigade commander, is not qualified to write a letter to Duan Xun.

So are the people below.

With Wang Pu's current status, the letter he wrote was sent to himself.Moreover, Yang Jie sent this letter to him no matter what.So Duan Xun took the letter and looked at what Wang Pu had written, so that the letter ended up in his hands.

But after reading the beginning, Duan Xun was taken aback.

Because Wang Pu wrote the word "teacher" at the beginning, Duan Xun was taken aback. Could it be that Wang Pu is his student?Maybe it was because of this that the people below kept sending this letter to themselves.

After all, Wang Pu called Teacher Duan Xun directly, and the people below did not dare not submit this letter.

But Duan Xun didn't have much impression of Wang Pu, so he couldn't help but said to Li Jishen: "Ren Chao (Li Jishen)."

"teacher."

"Do you know this Wang Pu? How did he call me teacher in the letter?"

"Teacher, you probably don't have much impression of him. He is two years older than me. He was relatively well-known in Baoding Military Academy back then, and he was a very active revolutionary party. But he is more cautious. Otherwise, with his reputation at that time, he would be easily caught He was expelled from the school. He graduated in the year of [-], so I guess he should have listened to the teacher's class."

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun could only chuckle.

student?

If it is only about the students who have listened to Duan Xun's class, it is estimated that there will be 6000 to [-] people, or even more.Not to mention the various camp schools that Duan Xun opened later, various officer teaching teams, and the Sichuan Military Academy established when he was the governor of Sichuan, etc., there are one or two thousand students who have attended Duan Xun's classes in Baoding Military Academy alone.After all, Duan Xun has been an instructor at Baoding Military Academy since the beginning of [-], and he has attended classes at Baoding Military Academy for more than two and a half years.

However, except for Xu Yongchang and the others who taught them seriously, the other students only taught them occasionally, that's all.Including Li Jishen, Duan Xun has only taught some.Therefore, Duan Xun himself does not know how many students he has taught.

But it is.
