Feng Yuxiang looked at the letter signed with his name in Xu Xiangqian's hand and knew that he had no intention of turning back, so he gritted his teeth and summoned the generals at regiment level and above in Beigukou to hold a mysterious meeting.
Fengjun, who was attacking at Beigukou, also held a strange meeting after receiving Xu Xiangqian's reply.
Under the guidance of this mysterious and strange meeting, the generals of the two sides began the battle of Beigukou.
One moment, the soldiers of the two sides were fighting fiercely. The next moment, the attacking Fengjun suddenly discovered that the defending enemy had taken the initiative to make an opening. The attacking division commanders were shocked and remembered the instructions from their superiors during the meeting.
, if the enemy takes the initiative to get out of the way during the battle, do not fire, just rush in and occupy the position.
The generals of Fengjun knew that doing so was extremely dangerous. Once the enemy opened his mouth and used it as a bait, rushing forward like that would undoubtedly lead to death. However, since his superiors had orders, he, as a soldier, had to carry them out, so the attacking generals
He gritted his teeth, ordered his soldiers not to shoot, and rushed forward.
The attacking soldiers couldn't understand the shocking orders, but the military orders were overwhelming. They were just small soldiers, so they had no choice but to go up. However, after they rushed up, they were surprised to find that the enemy on the opposite side did not fire.
But when I saw them rushing towards me, they all turned around and ran away.
The Feng army quickly occupied the Beigukou position. Facing the fleeing enemies, they did not pursue them under the orders of their superiors.
Feng Yuxiang abandoned his position, pretended to be defeated by Feng's army, and fled all the way to Beijing.
Feng Yuxiang met many of his former colleagues along the way, but these people were no longer on the same road as him. Feng Yuxiang led his army and had no intention of saying hello to them. These people had long known Feng Yuxiang's temper. If forced,
They can do anything in a hurry. When they see Feng Yuxiang losing the battle, no one is willing to go up and touch his brow.
In this way, Feng Yuxiang returned to Beijing smoothly.
Wu Peifu should have been in command in Beijing at this time, but just last night, he received a battle report from Shanhaiguan, saying that Shanhaiguan was in critical condition and needed support. Wu Peifu was restless after receiving the report. Shanhaiguan was his last barrier. If Shanhaiguan
If something goes wrong, the entire battle may become one-sided, and one's own position will not be guaranteed.
So this morning, before dawn came, Wu Peifu personally led the backup team to the front line. He wanted to personally take charge of Shanhaiguan. He did not believe that the Fengjun opposite could attack Shanhaiguan, which he was personally in charge of.
Coincidentally, Feng Yuxiang chose to return to Beijing when Wu Peifu was away.
At this time, Feng Yuxiang knew that his intention to return to Beijing without receiving orders from Marshal Wu was already very obvious. If he waited until Wu Peifu returned to Beijing to start another incident, then Wu Peifu would not be a fool. If he waited until then, he would not be able to start another incident.
Whatever happened, why not rebel now, lead his troops to Shanhaiguan, and capture Wu Peifu alive, which would be considered a great achievement.
The decision was made. Feng Yuxiang returned to Beijing with a legion of troops. At this time, the city of Beijing was already empty of troops. Without any effort, Feng Yuxiang took control of the entire city of Beijing, and Feng Yuxiang also collected all the property in Wu Peifu's house.
into his own pocket. As for Wu Peifu's wife and daughter, Feng Yuxiang didn't do that well. After all, he and Wu Peifu only had different military opinions. They were rebels. Feng Yuxiang didn't want to deal with his former commander-in-chief.
The woman had some evil thoughts, so she asked them to leave all their belongings and run away for their lives.
Wu Peifu has been in Beijing for so many years, and he still has two loyal subordinates. When the guards at Wu's residence saw Feng Yuxiang dared to break into the commander's residence without authorization, they wanted to attack the people in the commander's residence. Without saying a word, they raised their guns and shot.
Unfortunately, their reaction was too late. Before the bullets could be fired, they were shot to the ground by Feng Yuxiang's soldiers who had already ambushed them in the dark.
For a time, the whole city of Beijing was restless, and undercurrents were surging. Those who had a problem with Wu Peifu were naturally secretly happy. Those who had a close relationship with Feng Yuxiang were naturally overjoyed. And those who had a problem with Feng Yuxiang, who would not curse Feng Yuxiang?
Ancestors.
Feng Yuxiang took control of Beijing and naturally controlled Zhongnanhai. He left part of his elite troops to guard Beijing and Zhongnanhai, while the other part of the soldiers immediately rushed to Shanhaiguan to cooperate with Feng's army in attacking Wu Peifu.
Feng Yuxiang had two purposes. One was to control Zhongnanhai. He wanted to force Cao Kun to step down. This was not only his idea, but also the idea of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang in the northeast. It was also the idea of the Anhui clique, and it was also the idea of Sun Yat-sen in the south.
Although Feng Yuxiang was a rude general, he was able to be the leader of an army. He was not confused. He knew that the one million ocean bill of exchange he received contained not only Zhang Xueliang's intentions, but also the intentions of other people.
He also understood that, on the surface, this Zhili-Fengtian war was a battle between Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu in the northeast. In fact, people from the Anhui clique were also involved, and even Sun Yat-sen's forces in the south were involved.
This is not only a military war, but also a political war. The battlefield is not in Gubeikou, Shanhaiguan and other places, but the real battlefield is in Beijing and Zhongnanhai. Those who lose will have nothing, and those who win will walk away in an upright manner.
Enter the highest authority of the Republic of China and sit on the throne of the President.
Feng Yuxiang actually had a plan in mind. He knew that Wu Peifu's chance of winning was extremely low. After the victory in the first Zhili-Fengzhi war, Wu Peifu became arrogant. He thought that Cao Kun was the president and he was a Zhili, so he put the others
The warlords looked down upon it, and the military was somewhat neglected. Coupled with many conflicts with the three parties, the strength had long been exhausted.
Both in terms of military strength and political direction, they have slowly begun to decline. Even if they don't fight back, defeat will be a matter of time.
There is another point that Feng Yuxiang has been keeping in his heart, that is, Wu Peifu treats him too seriously. He is always wary of himself. He does not approve his military expenses and does not give him command of his elite troops. Feng Yuxiang can tolerate these things, but later he becomes more and more cautious.
He came too far and even refused to deliver military rations to himself. His soldiers were not even fed, leaving him with no choice but to steal food from other teams.
Feng Yuxiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned against his mother.
