The Jilin Chamber of Commerce announced that it would use the votes for settlement and abandon the lucky votes. For Meng Enyuan, it was a huge sap, which directly blinded him. If this was really done, there is no doubt that the lucky votes would change in an instant.
What else could Lao Meng use to control Jilin if it turned into a pile of waste paper? Therefore, in the face of such a cruel attack, Meng Enyuan simply couldn't bear it.
He immediately asked Gao Shibi to mobilize the army and wanted to fight Zhang Zuolin. However, Meng Enyuan was still very clear-headed and needed to resolve the civil strife first before concentrating on dealing with Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, he asked Gao Shibi to seal the General Chamber of Commerce and disperse the protesting students.
Then we will strengthen the defense forces on the Jilin-Fengjiang border.
While he was making deployment, another alarm suddenly came. It turned out that Zhang Zuolin had dispatched the First Brigade of the Guard Division northward to the Siping area in the name of suppressing bandits. The troops pointed towards Changchun.
Fengjun's speed was faster than expected. Almost as soon as Lao Zhang announced the order, a large number of scouts appeared on the Jilin-Fengtian border. The liaison team originally in Changchun had already withdrawn to Fengtian, and at this time, it happened to be acting as a guard division.
The forwards pressed against Meng Enyuan together.
Meng Enyuan has also seen through it. Lao Zhang has been prepared for this. He is pressing forward step by step and using both internal and external forces to force Meng Enyuan into a corner!
"Uncle, at this point, there is nothing more to say. There is only one way, and that is to fight, fight hard, and defeat Fengjun. Only then can we turn the crisis around. We can't be polite with little Zhang."
Meng Enyuan listened to this, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked: "Wuru, are you sure you can defeat Zhang Zuolin?"
"No problem. Don't worry, uncle. My men are all tiger and wolf warriors. They are not comparable to the bandits from Fengjun. As long as there is a war, we will win."
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Wu Tai'an on the side said: "What we fight for in a war is financial resources. We can't keep up with Fengtian in this regard. Zhang Zuolin has strong troops and sufficient financial resources. We don't have enough preparations and there is no way we can win against Fengjun. I
Let's look at the Japanese and ask them to provide some arms. With enough guns and ammunition, we can fight hard."
When Meng Enyuan and Gao Shibi heard this, they both nodded. After all, it was the Japanese who started the trouble this time. As it developed to the present situation, Lao Meng was almost on the verge of life and death, so they had to take action.
Gao Shibi had no choice but to follow his uncle's instructions to find support from the Japanese. Of course, Meng Enyuan also knew that just making military preparations was not enough. He also had to report Zhang Zuolin's attempt to invade Jilin by force to win Duan Qirui's support.
After all, since Duan Zhigui was driven back to the pass, among the real power factions in the three northeastern provinces, only Meng Enyuan is the old Beiyang. If his thorn is removed, Beiyang will have no strength in the northeast and can only watch Zhang Zuolin dominate the east.
Three provinces, this is definitely something Duan Qirui doesn't want to see.
Therefore, Meng Enyuan was about to ask Duan Qirui for support. Just when Meng Enyuan was actively preparing, Zhang Zuoxiang personally led the First Brigade of the Garrison Division to approach the Siping area. The predecessor of the First Brigade was the Independent Brigade, a force trained by Zhang Tinglan.
After several baptisms of war, this unit has grown rapidly. Not only is its equipment first-class, but its training of soldiers is also second to none in the army.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Zhang Tinglan has vigorously promoted reading and literacy work, and certain results have now appeared. After more than half a year of study, soldiers who originally had some cultural foundation can now basically easily understand various documents and can draw pictures.
With maps, soldiers with stronger learning abilities can already formulate simple combat plans and write combat summaries.
This kind of progress has brought about a doubling of the quality of soldiers. The command of the entire army has become smoother. The soldiers have become more proactive and completed their tasks more perfectly. According to Zhang Zuoxiang's estimation, the first brigade is currently enough to compete with the original
The entire 27th Division.
As expected, we can no longer use the old methods to run the army. We must use the latest concepts and the latest training methods. The most important thing is to use new people so that the army can undergo radical changes.
In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang is also a little lucky. Fortunately, Tang Yulin was unwilling to serve as the brigade commander of the independent brigade. As a result, he got an advantage. Now, the garrison division can be called a trump card of the Feng army. Although the current strength is not as good as that of Ji
Although he was a soldier and unfamiliar with the place, Zhang Zuoxiang was confident that Gao Shibi would suffer a loss.
The Jilin and Fengxi armies were mobilized on a large scale, and the clouds of war once again shrouded the three eastern provinces. The news reached Beijing, and Duan Qirui was also shocked. He had just become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and the protective forces in the south were still launching
After attacking, although Lao Yuan had abdicated, Tang Jiyao and others were still unwilling to give up and wanted to completely overthrow Yuan Shikai.
By this time, everyone understood that overthrowing Yuan Shikai was a lie, but taking over the entire Beiyang and replacing him was real. Therefore, Duan Qirui was calling on the Beiyang generals to unite and jointly eliminate the southwest warlords. Zhang, who was promoted to the Mongolian patrol envoy
At this time, Xun Xun also relied on his qualifications and prestige to convene a conference of the thirteen provinces alliance to jointly send troops to conquer the southwest.
At this juncture, if a battle breaks out between Ji and Feng, it will have an extremely negative impact on the overall situation. However, Duan Qirui cannot mobilize enough troops to stop this crisis, so Lao Duan can only think of other ways.
He moved Zhao Erxun, the old governor of the three eastern provinces.
When Zhao Erxun was in the former Qing Dynasty, he was the governor of the three eastern provinces and Zhang Zuolin's old superior. Now he is seventy or eighty years old and is immersed in revising the history of the Qing Dynasty to beautify the dead Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It took a lot of effort for Lao Duan to persuade him to let Zhao Erxun go north to stop this conflict.
Zhang Zuolin also got the notice, summoned all his men, and said to everyone: "What do you think of the matter in front of you? Old Zhao wants to make peace. Should we listen or not?"
"Commander, the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot it." Yang Yuting spoke first: "I think we should act as soon as possible and capture Meng Enyuan. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not easy to find."
Sun Liechen pondered for a long time, and then said: "Commander, Zhao Erxun represents Duan Qirui after all. If Duan Qirui is angered, it will be a big trouble for us."
Sun Liechen's words also made everyone nod frequently. This is a question of choice. How to make a decision is indeed very difficult. Everyone here is whispering to each other, not knowing what to do.
"Commander, I heard that Yuan Shikai has fallen ill and is bedridden. He is not far from death." Zhang Tinglan said this at this time. Everyone present was stunned. Old Yuan is already a thing of the past.
, is there anything worthy of attention?
But Zhang Zuolin was so keen that he immediately thought of the meaning of Zhang Tinglan's words: "Immodestly, are you saying that at the time when the old and new Beiyang is changing, you have no time to take care of the three eastern provinces?"
"That's right, as the saying goes, opportunities must never come back again. Now Duan has not yet taken full power. Zhang Xun has just arrived in Rehe, and his territory has not been straightened out yet, and the braided army has not been mobilized. If they wait until they are ready, Fengtian
The situation is very difficult, and Duan Qirui will definitely support Meng Enyuan against us."
In history, Zhang Zuolin launched three operations to overthrow Meng, which lasted more than four years. Finally, it was with the cooperation of the Japanese that he captured Meng Enyuan. The reason why Meng Enyuan was able to last for such a long time was definitely not because of Meng Enyuan's ability, but because of his ability.
Duan Qirui is behind me.
Zhang Tinglan knew very well that Lao Yuan had less than a month left to live. After a short recovery, Beiyang would fall into the hands of the new head Duan Qirui. If he didn't take advantage of this time, he might not be able to survive.
Opportunity.
"That's right, Marshal, I also support Zhu Yan's view." Yang Yuting said: "This time Gao Shibi has colluded with the Japanese. If we don't capture Meng Enyuan as soon as possible, we will have the dual support of Beiyang and the Japanese.
If you want to deal with Meng Enyuan, the price will be too high."
Indeed, what Yang Yuting said is also a key point. On the ground in the Northeast, any action must take into account the Japanese attitude. This time, the Japanese were finally suppressed temporarily. If they don't act quickly, the Japanese will turn around and vigorously
Arming Meng Enyuan would really be a recipe for disaster.
Lao Zhang weighed the situation and said again and again: "Let's deal with Zhao Erxun first, and then send a telegram to Fu Chen, asking him to create an excuse as soon as possible to use force against the Ji army. At the same time, let Wu Junsheng's cavalry division be mobilized and ready to assist at any time."
Lao Zhang made the final war decision. In fact, the horn from the front had already been blown. Gao Shibi was a proud and arrogant man. He had already led his men to set up defenses between Gongzhuling and Yitong, in order to defend the enemy at the country's gate.
In accordance with other principles, their forward troops and the most elite cavalry regiment were placed in Siping to prevent Feng's army from moving north.
The scouts on both sides have actually begun to attack each other. Since pistols can be produced, the officers and scouts of the garrison division are the first batch to be equipped. Therefore, the Fengjun cavalry usually has two pieces of equipment, each with a long and short one.
holding three grenades.
The firepower is much stronger than that of the Kyrgyz army. When the numbers are about the same, the Kyrgyz army is no match for them. Even if the Kyrgyz army has the upper hand in numbers, Feng Jun can retreat calmly with the power of grenades.
After several battles, the Ji army lost more than 70 scouts, which drove Gao Shibing crazy. He had never encountered such a situation before. He was thinking about revenge, so he ordered to use the numerical advantage to attack Feng Feng.
Army scouts conduct retaliatory operations.
On this day, the Ji army dispatched nearly 200 cavalry, hoping to ambush Feng Jun. A group of Feng Jun's cavalry had approached the ambush circle, but these Feng Jun soldiers sensed the danger and turned around to run away. This made the Ji army very angry.
, they immediately gave chase.
Just as the Ji army chased for more than ten miles, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves not far away, and three huge carriages appeared on the field, each pulled by four horses, running wildly.
There were dozens of cavalry around the carriage for protection.
The Ji army had never seen anything like this before, and they were immediately confused. When they saw that the opponent's number was much smaller than theirs, they charged boldly with confidence. As a result, they were getting closer and closer to Feng Jun.
, suddenly three tongues of fire shot out from the carriage, and all the Ji soldiers who were rushing at the front were shot and fell off their horses one after another. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
