Qin Longyu's Fu Han army entered Lingbao City, that is, set out to restore local order and protect the merchants. During this period, four soldiers took the opportunity to rob and immediately arrested the justice, and the gentlemen all claimed strict military discipline. This was a major victory of the Eastern Crusading Army in the Western Henan War.
When driving into Lingbao City, Wang Tianzhong rode a white horse, and Ding Tongsheng rode a jujube red horse, and the two walked side by side, talking and laughing. The brethren's outstanding performance in the battle was praised by Zhang Xiao, and in order not to give the Yi army a chance to breathe, Wang Tianzhong and Ding Tongsheng took advantage of the victory to pursue and pushed eastward with the overwhelming force of the mountains and the sea.
Zhao Qianyi's army retreated to Luoyang to stabilize its position, and he was puzzled that this Eastern Crusade army was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain during wartime, but when it retreated, it was not chaotic, and its tactics were really without gaps. What is even more incomprehensible is that I have never seen such a commander before, ten winter moons, shirtless, and skilled in knife skills, exquisite horse skills, guns fired in a hundred shots, really encountered a tough opponent.
In order to contain the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, Wang Tianzhong, in accordance with Zhang Xuan's intentions, led a team south to take Nanyang, and was about to collect the remnants of the Qing soldiers everywhere, but received a telegram from Zhang Zhao, saying that the Qing Emperor had abdicated, the Republic of China would be unified, and did not intend to advance again. Wang Tianzhong had to take the army into the city and wait for the situation to change.
At the Battle of Tongguan, Ding Tongsheng led his men and horses, which were well defended, flexible, and fought bravely and tenaciously, which was deeply appreciated by Zhang Qi. At that time, Liu Zhenhua, a revolutionary who had just joined the Eastern Expeditionary Army, learned that Ding Tongshengshan had fought a hard battle, fought a brave battle, and was a tough man, and the two became brothers.
On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the Provisional President of the Republic of China in Nanjing. Soon, the north and south agreed to peace, the Qing Emperor abdicated, the two sides ceased hostilities, the Shaanxi army was organized into two divisions and four brigades, zhang Yunshan's western expeditionary army was organized as the first division of the Shaanxi army, and the eastern road army commanded by Zhang Xuan was organized into the second division of the Shaanxi army. Chen Shufan, Wan Bingnan, and Zhang Baolin were each organized into a brigade, but the Green Forest Armed Forces in Western Henan, which participated in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, became one of the extraordinarily large. Without being incorporated into the army, there was a possibility of being eliminated, and Zhang Xuan only saved this team after many days of running up and down, and with Yuan Shikai's consent, he sent to Henan to garrison and named it Zhensong Army. Just when Zhang Xiao was struggling to decide who would hold the unified post of Zhen Song Military Association, Liu Zhenhua, who served as a senator in the army, jumped up and down and moved around. Wang Tianzhong, the "Great Hero of Zhongzhou", who was most qualified to serve as a co-commander, was transferred to the capital by Yuan Shikai and served as the deputy director of the Military And Police Inspectorate of the Beijing Division, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in the army. Although Zhang Xiao had doubts about Liu Zhenhua's character and ability, in the end, the post of co-unification fell into Liu Zhenhua's hands.
Most of Ding Tongsheng's troops were incorporated into the Zhensong Army, but Zhang Xuan saw his boldness, meticulousness, and ability to do things, and loved him very much. It just so happened that Ding Tongsheng did not want to serve in the army, and in order to repay Zhang Xuan's kindness, he resolutely surrendered his military power and followed Zhang Qi as a guard captain and crossed the provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan. Later, Zhang Xiao was discharged from his military post and transferred to Beijing, and Ding Tongsheng only brought a few retinues into Beijing, and hung up the title of inspector of the Beijing Gyeonggi Inspection Office, but he was still Zhang Qi's guard captain.
It is said that he was transferred to the capital as an official, but in fact, after Zhang Xiao entered the capital, he was detained by Yuan Shikai, took up a false post and had nothing to do, he stayed in his office all day, impatient, and The great president Yuan Shikai seemed to be particularly concerned about him, and from time to time he visited him in his mansion.
Shortly thereafter, Yuan Shikai used the same method to transfer Cai Yi to the capital, conferred the title of vice president of the Compilation Department of the War Department, and secretly sent people to monitor. "The same is the end of the world fell people", Zhang Xiao and Cai Yi met, often exchanged, talked very speculatively. And their interactions are mostly threaded by Ding Tongsheng. (Pan Yunming)
