Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh Fengjun military meeting
The office of Fengtian Marshal's Mansion was already crowded with generals. At a glance, almost all the famous generals of Fengtian Army were present. Li Jinglin and Zhang Zuoxiang were sitting on the sofa and didn't know what to say. They were leaning forward and back with joy. Zhang Zongchang was staring at the picture on the wall alone.
Map in a daze.
"I heard that the Zhejiang Army is not doing well?" Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal in a neat military uniform, stood in front of the window and asked his close friend Guo Songling.
"It's not just bad, it's a complete failure." Guo Songling sneered.
Zhang Xueliang turned around and asked in surprise: "A complete defeat? How could it be? It's not that we had the upper hand a few days ago, and Qi Xieyuan even gave up Nanjing."
"Yes, but Sun Chuanfang raided Xianxia Ridge and stabbed Lu Yongxiang in the back, immediately turning the situation around." Guo Songling sighed: "There is no certainty about success or failure on the battlefield. Who can surprise and win! Chen
Leshan ambushed Changxing and took advantage of the situation, but when Sun Chuanfang led his troops into Zhejiang, the situation suddenly reversed. Isn't this just war!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded and said: "Brother Guo's words are reasonable."
Guo Songling smiled bitterly again and said, "There is another piece of news that Han Qing must be interested in."
"Oh? What news?" Zhang Xueliang asked with a smile.
"Qi Xieyuan is clearly in charge of the overall situation in the Jiangnan battlefield, but according to the latest information, it seems that someone else is secretly planning it." Guo Songling said.
"This is conceivable. Qi Xieyuan is a famous general who is often defeated. He has always fought a losing battle and been promoted to a first-class official position. He just knows how to maneuver the camp. In terms of military talent, he is not like Lu Yongxiang who followed Yuan Shikai from Tianjin.
He is the opponent of the old guy who came all the way from the military training at the small station. I just don’t know who Lu Yongxiang suffered from. He must be a powerful person to make him fall into such a huge stumble."
"Han Baihang!" Guo Songling's face seemed to be cast by a shadow.
"Who?" Zhang Xueliang turned his head suddenly.
"According to the intelligence, Han Baihang was ordered to go south. He first rushed to Fuzhou to unite with Sun Chuanfang, then returned to Pukou and forced Qi Xieyuan to hand over power. Finally, he went to the Ninghu battlefield in person and reversed the situation in Jiangnan." Speaking of this man, Guo Songling sighed.
"It's him again!" Zhang Xueliang turned around and took a few steps, his face a little ugly, and said: "In the battle with Han Baihang, Brother Guo and I fought several battles, which was a life-long shame. If there is a chance, I will fight again
His third division shows off!"
Guo Songling smiled and said: "Han Qing, don't be impatient. The opportunity will come soon. The battle between Zhifeng and Feng is inevitable. When the battle is really hard to separate, how can Wu Peifu leave this warrior alone? I want to come and meet him."
We’ll see you soon.”
"The general is here!" Suddenly the soldiers shouted outside the door, and all the generals stood up to greet him.
The bearded Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces, walks with a limp. After being a commander for so many years, his walking posture is still the same as when he was a bandit.
"Commander..."
"Brother, are you in good health?"
…
Many veteran generals who were leading troops abroad came up to greet Zhang Zuolin after they had not seen him for a long time. Zhang Zuolin was not tall, so he looked up and looked at each other, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"What a shame, these old brothers finally got together, but it's all about war!" Zhang Zuolin looked a little regretful, sat down on the edge of the desk, and said: "The surname is Wu.
We think we are invincible. We will destroy this one today and abolish that one tomorrow. If we let him take over Zhejiang this time, hehe, the next one will probably be the Northeast!"
"Go ahead, you son of a bitch. Call him a victorious general. Does he really think he will be invincible from now on? Bullshit, if you ask me, just send troops to Beijing and beat the hell out of him!" Zhang Zongchang cursed.
"Oh, don't say it, that's what I really mean, slap him!" As soon as Zhang Zuolin said this, the whole audience laughed.
Only Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling looked at each other.
Zhang Xueliang said: "Dad, I heard that the situation in Jiangnan is in danger. This is the time when Zhizhi has won a great victory and is at its peak. I'm afraid we can't be too optimistic."
Zhang Zuolin did not speak, but these old brothers who accompanied Zhang Zuolin to conquer the world all looked at him, their eyes full of ridicule, as if they had heard the silly words of an ignorant child. Zhang Xueliang knew very well that these people had no regard for him.
Respect comes from the authority of the father, and each of them relies on his elders for success in battle, but he never takes himself, the young commander, into consideration.
"The child's words are not unreasonable! Well, I want to explore Wu's background first. I think we can send a letter first, and be polite first and then attack." Zhang Zuolin always wanted to support Zhang Xueliang.
"Well, the commander is right." Everyone responded in unison.
"But this war preparation must be prepared in advance. Han Qing, please read out the order." Zhang Zuolin sat down in the chair. Zhang Xueliang stood at attention and said yes, pulled out a document from the folder on the table and said: "Order!"
After the two words were spoken, everyone stood up solemnly. Zhang Xueliang read without delay: "This proposal! This battle is divided into six armies. The commander of the First Army Jiang Dengxuan, the Commander of the Second Army Li Jinglin, the Commander of the Third Army Zhang Xueliang, and the Commander of the Third Army.
Zhang Zuoxiang, commander of the Fourth Army, Wu Junsheng, commander of the Fifth Army, and Xu Lanzhou, commander of the Sixth Army."
Except for Zhang Xueliang, all the other five generals whose names were called came out to salute.
"The specific assignments will be issued to the commanders of each army. Please act in accordance with the commander-in-chief's decision." Zhang Xueliang retreated after speaking.
"Three years ago, we were defeated. There is nothing to be shy about. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. I lost at the hands of Wu Peifu, a bastard. I quit Beijing and returned to the Northeast. In the past few years, we have also been defeated.
The army has been strengthened and its military strength has been greatly increased, but what about Wu Peifu? Ah, every day he is entangled in the battles between the Zhili factions, the Jin faction, the Bao faction, they are all a bunch of talkers, huh, plus the Beijing government itself is
He is an empty shell. He claims to rule the country. What is President Cao? In fact, it is all bullshit! Can they collect a grain of tax? Hey, a big warlord is trapping a small warlord. Who is willing to take the money for nothing?
If you give money away, there will be blood!"
"We are different. White mountains and black waters have been a fertile land since ancient times. There are mountains of gold and silver. We can fight against them, but they cannot." Zhang Zuolin said with confidence, and everyone couldn't help but nod.
It has to be said that what Wu Peifu is most worried about at this moment is the issue of military resources. When he went to Beijing in person and did some calculations, he discovered that the so-called Beijing government was already running a full deficit and was unable to make ends meet.
"The telegram heard from Commander Han Baihang of the Third Division that the situation in the Battle of Jiangnan is very good. Among them, Commander Han's contribution is very clear to Pei Fu. All matters concerning the war are left to Commander Han. I am relieved, but there is another thing.
Major matters need to be discussed with Mr. Han. The current war in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to affect the whole body. There are wars in the north and the south. Zhang Zuolin has repeatedly warned that the war is not far away. Now the Beijing government has exhausted its financial resources and has reached the end of the road. There is no
With military pay and no supplies, what's the point of a decisive battle with the Feng Faction, which is backed by the Japanese? The south of the Yangtze River is rich, especially Shanghai, which is a treasure land full of gold. I think Commander Han will raise a batch of military pay in the south of the Yangtze River after the war, so that the north can spend it.
, This is the reason that determines victory or defeat, and Commander Han must be aware of the heavy weight of it. I hope that we will not let down the trust of the three armies."
After reading the message that had just been transferred, Han Baihang frowned and twisted the twist. He sighed and said, "What is the Beijing government doing? When you get to this stall, you find that you have no money?"
Han Baihang dropped the message and walked to the window. Economic matters were much more complicated than fighting.
"Commander, support the battle. That's tens of thousands of silver dollars. Where can we get it?" When Shitou heard this order, his eyes almost popped out. He had never heard of an individual raising military funds in his life.
"No matter what we do, we have to do it!" Han Baihang had an idea in his mind, but he was going to offend some people. "But this is not the most urgent thing at the moment. Can Lu Yongxiang leave?"
"Yes, according to intelligence, Lu Yongxiang led his troops to secretly depart from Hangzhou last night, and they will be arriving in Jiaxing soon."
"Well, yes, this old rabbit can run quite fast. He sent an order to Sun Chuanfang to quickly stabilize the situation in Hangzhou, and then quickly sent troops towards Jiaxing to attack Lu Yongxiang from the north and south!"
"Yes!" Huzi obeyed the order and left. Han Baihang sat there thinking about how to collect money.
