But it is said that Wu Peifu asked Feng Yuxiang what plan was there to break the enemy? Feng Yuxiang thought for a moment and said, "Although the artillery fire of the Fengjun army is fierce, it cannot last, we may as well use the trick to lure them, but let the old and weak and disabled soldiers I brought with us as the vanguard, the enemy will inevitably advance lightly, and when they are in the heavy ground, the shells will not continue, and then ask the marshal to copy behind him, then the enemy will not be able to save himself before and after, it will inevitably be a big defeat, we can take advantage of the situation to attack, we can retake Changxin." "Wu Peifu praised the good, and acted according to the plan at the moment. At this time, you can use Feng's, and later you can't cooperate, why not? The two armies exchanged views, and the Feng army saw that there were very few straight soldiers and their combat effectiveness was weak, so they really braved the threat of artillery fire and struggled to advance without any preparation. The Zhi army fought and retreated, and has retreated for dozens of miles. Here Wu Peifu copied to the back of the Feng army, attacked back and forth, and the Feng army was defeated, rushing out of the siege and fleeing to Fengtai. Wu Peifuke restored Changxindian, not wanting Zhang Zuolin to send several more brigades to rescue troops, so that Zhang Jinghui could retake Changxin. Wu Peifu bravely resisted, and in one day, he repeatedly advanced and retreated, and Changxindian won and lost nine times, after all, because Wu and Feng were both martial and brave generals, Zhang Jinghui could not resist and still retreated. It just so happened that the Middle Road of the Feng army failed, Xu Lanzhou was killed, and although Zhang Zuoxiang was called a good fighter, he was not an enemy of Wang Chengbin and Zhang Fulai after all, so he was defeated and retreated, and the West Road was also moved, and the battle could not be resumed. Zhang Jinghui had to lead the 1st Division and the 28th Division to retreat to Nanyuan and was dismissed by the 1st and 9th Divisions stationed in Beijing.
There was also the Fengjun East Road, although it had repeatedly gained profits at the beginning, even occupying Dacheng, Qingxian, Baxian and other places, but because Zhang Xueliang was injured, he could not make a strong advance, and when the news of the defeat in the western road arrived, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and collapsed. Li Jinglin had no choice but to lead the whole army of more than 20,000 people to retreat to Baoliang Wangzhuang and Duliu. Unexpectedly, the Zhi army entered and occupied the fallen area, taking advantage of the situation to attack, Li Jinglin could not support it, so he had to retreat, and in the middle of the way, he was intercepted by artillery fire of the Zhi Army, and the losses were very heavy, and when he returned to Shanhaiguan, there was very little left. Zhang Zuolin saw that the war had been completely defeated, and since the Republic of China, the war had often collapsed as soon as it was defeated; this was not a well-trained, but it was a war without doctrine, and the soldiers were dissatisfied, so victory would require meritorious achievements and fierce advances, and defeat would be difficult to reap, and the warlords' families would still be ashamed of their force, unaware of their consciousness, and sad. The headquarters had to be moved to Luanzhou in an attempt to do so. With Kaiping as the first line of defense, Li Jinglin was kept, Guye was the second line of defense, Zhang Zuoxiang was made to defend, Luanzhou was the third line of defense, Zhang Zuolin was defended by himself, and Changle was the fourth line of defense, so that Sun Liechen was defended. On the one hand, we are collecting the remnants of the army, and on the other hand, we are replenishing the military reality.
When Wu Peifu found out the news, he also concentrated his forces, with Xu Wuzhuang as the first line of defense, with Peng Shouxin as the second line of defense, Lutai as the second line of defense, Ling Mu Brigade as the third line of defense, and Junliangcheng as the third line of defense, with Wang Chengbin as the position. The forward and the Feng army made several small contacts, and in a flurry of victories, the places near Luanzhou also occupied a lot, while the commander-in-chief of the navy, Du Xijue, intercepted the return route of the Feng army. It turned out that Du Xijue had not decided to help Wu, and later because Sa Zhenbing went south, saying that Jiang Zheng went north to ask for worship. Jiang Zheng readily agreed, so the navy joined the Zhi side. Zhang Zongchang wanted to lead his troops to land on a ship from Qingdao, and the navy also helped Tanaka Yu to meet the attack, while Tanaka Yu informed Japan that the Feng army was forbidden to land. Zhang Zongchang's strategy was a complete failure. Although our navy is very weak, it is also very useful in the civil war. A weak navy is conducive to civil war, and these two sentences are painful. Gossip Hugh.
Moreover, before Zhang Zuolin was defeated, he knew that Xu Shichang was subordinate to the armed forces of the Zhi Army and would have no interest in himself, so he had already electrified independence, and the political affairs of the three eastern provinces were independent of the people of the eastern provinces, not controlled by the government, and acted in concert with the Yangtze River and the southwestern provinces, while secretly contacting the brothers Zhao Qian and Zhao Jie in Henan to teach them independence. Because there were still many direct troops in Henan, Zhao Qian was afraid that the tiger would not become an anti-dog, and he did not dare to move lightly for a while, but he was afraid that the direct army would be defeated in the future, and he could not live with Fengfang, and it was not good to meet. Thinking left and right, he had to declare neutrality, so as not to offend one side. Not wanting to think that just one day after the declaration of neutrality, the Feng army had already defeated and retreated to The City of Grain, Zhao Qian was very remorseful, but he was afraid that Wu Peifu would not be able to go down with him, and when he was confused and had no master, he overheard a report: "The order of the central authorities to investigate and deal with the culprits in the Feng and Zhi wars has been issued." "Hit the water dog. Zhao Qian did not know who was being investigated, and he hurried to take a look, but there were two orders, the first of which was an edict ordering the army to leave the customs, the original text said:
In the former places of Direct Subordination and Fengtian, the army was transferred to the area, and the Orders were ordered to retreat separately, but Nai Yan did not obey, and even became a battle. In recent days, the sound of gunfire, day and night, refugees and wounded soldiers, have been pouring into the road. Lu Yan was shocked, his life was ruined, and his soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and his words were painful. Hereby renew the order, that is, to stop the attack. The Fengtian army, which withdrew from the guanwai on the same day and was directly subordinate to all the armies, should also return to the original localities, all waiting for the central government's order to solve the problem, and everyone should obey it! This order.
The second order is to investigate and deal with the culprit, the original text said:
The war in this time, the mutilation of living beings, and the wounding of non-commissioned officers were all brewed by Ye Gongqi and others. It is indeed an incalculable sin to bring calamity to the country and the people. Ye Gongqi, Liang Shiyi, and Zhang Arc all performed their duties immediately, and stripped them of their medals, arrested and handed over to the court, and interrogated according to law! This order.
After Reading it, Zhao Qian threw the order and sighed, "There is no merit in the matter, defeat is a crime, Ye, Liang, and others are all people who serve the Fang, so if the Zhifang is defeated, I am afraid they are all heroes." "This public opinion is suddenly made, which makes people laugh. Having said this, he knew that Feng Fang was not enough to be ashamed, and he tried his best to contact the direct faction, but because he was afraid that Zhao Jie would not know how to advance or retreat, and some unexpected moves, so that he could not recover it, he hurriedly took a telegram to Zhao Jie, teaching him not to act rashly, and did not expect that Zhao Jie had already run into a catastrophe the day before. It turned out that Jin Yunlu's army, originally stationed in Zhengzhou, was in a tight situation because of the zhi and Feng wars, so they pulled north to help the war, and unexpectedly, just arrived at the shangqiao area, they encountered Zhao Jie's army, a burst of invitations, Jin Yunlu surprised it, how to resist the enemy? After resisting for a while, he was defeated and waited for help. By the time Zhao Qian's telegram arrived, it was already too late. After Jin Yunlu was defeated to Wushengguan, he immediately sent a telegram to Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, and the overseers of their immediate lineage begging for help. When Wu Peifu saw the telegram, he approved it and handed it over to Feng Yuxiang for handling. The rest of Tanaka Yu, Chen Guangyuan, Zhang Wensheng, Qi Xieyuan, etc., also sent a telegram to Feng Yuxiang and Zhao Qian, willing to serve as mediators. That Feng Yuxiang knew that the Zhao brothers had been bribed by Feng fang, and would never give up, so while asking Zhao Qian to stop Zhao Jie's attack, he sent troops to rescue Jin Yunhu. When Zhao Qian saw that the matter had broken up, he consulted with the left and right: "If Feng Yuxiang really mediates, he should not send troops to come, which obviously does not reassure me." But also smart. If he flattens the second eldest, and my power becomes more isolated, he will certainly attack me in a big way. It would be better to take advantage of his lack of defense, secretly attack in the middle of the road, and hit him unprepared, wouldn't it be as strong as sitting still? "Wishful thinking, the so-called confidant and not the person." Both left and right also encouraged him to use force to solve it, and Zhao Qian was determined, so he sent troops to ambush near Zhongmu and wait for Feng Yuxiang's army to fight. Feng Yuxiang was originally a famous general of modern wisdom and courage, how not to prevent it? This is called knowing the other and knowing oneself. As he sent his troops forward, one side had already sent another elite, after bypassing Zhongmu, just in case. How does Zhao Jun know? As soon as they saw Feng Jun, they fired all their guns and artillery, and without guarding against Feng Jun's Einsatzgruppen, they copied from behind and attacked from both sides, and the Zhao Army could not resist and was defeated back to Kaifeng. At this time, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu had not yet known about Zhao Qian's invitation to attack Feng Jun, so when they sent Xu Shichang by telegram, they did not say anything about it. That Xu Shichang was already under the full control of the Zhi Army, saw the telegram, naturally settled, and immediately issued an order:
According to Cao Kun, the envoy of The Inspector of Zhi, Lu, and Yu, "According to the reports of Jin Yunlu and Wang Ruwei, the commanders of the Brigade stationed in Zhengzhou, Zhao Jie, led his troops to attack Zhengzhou, and the brigade was forced to resist with all his might. 'Wait. When Zhao Jie dared to speak out and expel the brigade commander and attack him, he sent a telegram to the brigade commander and others, and he insisted on defending the original defense, and asked Zhao Jie to seize the official medal and dismiss him from his posts and hand him over to the Henan overseers for interrogation according to law. etc. The local area of Yu Province was in a critical position, and the commander of the division, Zhao Jie, as a general, did not allow himself to arbitrarily call himself a soldier, disturb the defensive situation, and immediately stripped him of his official position, and gave him a medal of honor, and handed it over to Zhao Qian, the governor of Henan, and interrogated him according to law to suppress military discipline. This order.
This order had just been issued, and Zhao Qian's report on intercepting Feng Yuxiang had arrived, and Xu Shichang had to order an investigation and handling as well. Feng Yuxiang was reappointed as the Overseer of Henan, and the Shaanxi Overseer was left missing, and Liu Zhenhua was concurrently in charge. The order to investigate and deal with Zhang Zuolin was also issued on the same day. The posts of envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang and inspector of the three eastern provinces shall be dismissed. He also promoted Wu Jun to the position of Fengtian Overseer, Feng Delin as the Overseer of Heilongjiang, Yuan Jinjiao as governor of Fengtian Province, and Shi Jichang as governor of Heilongjiang Province. The only obscure people in Kaifeng are the merchants, and it is inevitable that they will have to loot some disk fees and give them to him to use, which is an ordinary thing recently, but there is no need to make a fuss. Extremely painful language, partial funny words, the author can not help but bear it. Leave this side behind.
Moreover, although Zhang Zuolin was defeated, his strength in the three eastern provinces was not destroyed. FengFang has repeatedly risen up, although it is known that people are plotting, it must also be caused by the terrain. How to use President Xu's official document? In less than a day, the leaders of the provincial council chambers of commerce, the peasant associations and trade unions of the three eastern provinces, because they wanted to curry favor with Zhang Hu, immediately sent a telegram to deny Zhang Zuolin's dismissal order. However, Zhang Hu on the luanzhou side, because of the repeated defeats of the forwards, the navy tried to attack the rear, did not dare to stay, supported for a few days, and then withdrew from Luanzhou. The Zhi army took advantage of the situation to occupy Guye, Kaiping, And Walli, because Wu Peifu's eyes at this time had shifted from the military to the political side, and did not attack vigorously. Wouldn't it be nice if we could use no force from now on? At the beginning, Cao Kun wanted to invite Wang Shizhen to come out to form a cabinet, and was led by Cao Kun, and together with Wu Peifu, Tanaka Yu, Chen Guangyuan, Li Houji, Xiao Yaonan, Qi Xieyuan, Feng Yuxiang, Liu Zhenhua, Lu Hongtao, and others, wang Shizhen came out of the mountain to clean up the situation. Although Wang Shizhen is not a person who is desperate for fame, because in view of the disputes of the current situation, it has not been fully resolved, and Wu Peifu still has another role, and he is not allowed to resign. Wu Peifu consulted with the left and right, supported Li Yuanhong out of the mountain, in the name of restoring the legal system, and Shu Ji could call on the world. Wang Jiaxiang, president of the old Senate, and Wu Jinglian, speaker of the House of Representatives, were naturally happy to see that the Congress had hope of resurrection. This class of parliamentarians, too, is miserable. They had been active under Wu Peifu for a long time, and when they saw that he wanted to restore the legal system, Wang Jiaxiang tried his best to shake it out: "The division between the north and the south actually stems from the issue of legal system, and the grand marshal advocates restoring the legal system, which is really the only good plan for seeking the country." The National Assembly was restored, Huang Pi was reinstated, and the purpose of protecting the law in the south had been achieved, of course, it had to be returned to the central authorities, and at that time, the first merit of unifying China, except for the marshal, who should still deserve it? Even if it is the credit of Washington, the United States, it is nothing more than that. Wu Jinglian also said: "Before the war, the marshal had wanted to restore Huangpi to the throne, because the diplomatic corps was afraid of adding a heavy dispute and expressed opposition, but the marshal did not implement it." Now that the Feng army has been utterly defeated, as long as the central government's affairs are open, who dares to say half a word? Moreover, the restoration of the legal system was originally for the sake of the country and the people, not for their own interests, and the people were asking for it. The great marshal is willing to do such a righteous deed, and the people of the whole country are not enough to support it with all their might, who is still willing to oppose it? Wu Peifu said, "I have long thought that there are two most important things in restoring the legal system, one is to restore the National Assembly, and the other is to ask Huang Pi to reinstate him, but I don't know which one to do first." Wu Jinglian said, "Needless to say, it is natural to restore the National Assembly first." The status of the natural public is at the top of the matter, a smile. The president is elected by Congress, and without its restoration, the president has no basis. Wu Peifu said: "In this matter, I have signaled sun Xinyuan, commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, to ask him to be a promoter, he has already taken a picture of electricity, have you seen it?" Wang Jiaxiang said, "I was told to me by Speaker Wu, but I have never seen the original electricity." Wu Peifu then found out Sun Chuanfang's original electricity and handed it to Wang Jiaxiang, who then came to see:
To consolidate the Republic of China, it is advisable to first unify, and the rupture of the reunification of the North and the South should take the legal issue as the strong step, and the return of reunification should be taken as a shortcut, that is, the restoration of legal unity should be taken as a shortcut. Li Huangpi should be asked to restore the throne, convene the six-year old state, quickly formulate the constitution, jointly elect a vice-seat, an extraordinary government, the original is revived by the protection of the law, the legal system has been restored, the difference can be eliminated, and if there are disturbers, they should be discarded.
Jia Xiang read the telegram and said, "This is also strange, Xinyuan's telegram is very practical, why didn't there even be some response?" Wu Peifu said, "This is no wonder." You think we have not decided on the right way internally, how can anyone pay attention? Since both of you are in favor of restoring the National Assembly first, it is enough for me to send a telegram to the old marshal and the governors of the provinces to solicit the opinions of the people on the restoration of the National Assembly. Wu Jinglian laughed: "This is a good thing, who is not willing to approve?" Why ask for other people's opinions. "This man has always been good at it. The old problems have not changed so far. Wu Peifu said, "Having said that, you can't always do that. Moreover, when I advocate the generation of electricity, we cannot simply say that the National Assembly should be restored, but that we must say it together with the convocation of the new National Assembly and the joint provincial autonomy of the National Assembly, so as not to leave a trace. "Wang Jiaxiang and Wu Jinglian are only known as beings. Wang Jiaxiang added, "The affairs in the north have finally come to an end, and the affairs in the south must also be paid attention to." There must be such a word in the facts, and there must be no such foreshadowing in the article. I heard that the Guangdong government had ordered That Li Liejun and others should be taught to attack Gansu, and the marshal should also send old Chen to step up preparations. Wu Peifu said, "If you don't tighten up, the Nan government has dismissed Chen Jiongming from his post, so will Chen Jiongming stop here?" You see, it won't be long before there will inevitably be an internal strife in Guangdong, and at that time they will not have time to work internally, can they still fight Jiangxi? "Wu's material is bright and worthy of a capable person." Wu Jinglian hurriedly replied, "The Grand Marshal is an enemy like a god, of course, there must be no mistakes, where can we see it?" Jia Xiang said busily, "If you and I can see this, although we can't shake the world like the Grand Marshal, we won't be ignorant." Wu Shi laughed. Two compliments don't have to face. A person who lives in the house is not a real talent. They consulted each other once. Wu and Wang Fangcai resigned, and discussed in one place: "The marshal is not willing to mention the restoration of the National Assembly alone, I am afraid that there will be changes in the future, and we need to work hard to get better." After the two had discussed for a long time, they decided to see Cao Kun again and asked him to assemble on his own. Cao Kun asked Ziyu what his opinion was? Wu Jinglian said, "Marshal Wu is very much in favor, but if we want to first enlighten the old marshal, the old marshal will not agree, and he does not dare to teach us to do it." Cao Kun heard this and said happily, "He is me, I am him, and we are not separated from each other." Cao San did things all his life, was dimwitted and incompetent, and could believe in Wu Ziyu, which could not be described as a great skill. If he says this, you just have to go to the assembly first, so why ask me again? When Wu and Wang received these two words, they were very happy, so they went to see Wu Peifu again, saying that the old marshal had taught us to assemble first. The speaker of the house of parliament, blindly running for power, flattering the warlords, such a national representative, insulting people. precisely:
Repeatedly all by being able to shoot horses, vertical and horizontal deserve to learn to brag.
I don't know how Wu Peifu answered, and look at the next decomposition.
When Feng and Zhi first fought, there was also a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition in Guangdong. It is Chen Jiong who lost his life tomorrow, betrayed the country and the party, and betrayed himself to be raped by Mr. Zhongshan, so that he sat on the crash machine and was imprisoned for a long time, and he could not help but be laughed at by Wu Peifu. This Mr. Nakayama therefore deeply hates the Chen clan, gai is not for private anger, but for the future of the revolution.
