Through this secret meeting, several people almost shared all the fruits of victory in this war between Zhili and Fengtian.
Feng Yuxiang got rid of his embarrassing situation and the Beiping area received many personnel and weapons and equipment from the direct line, resulting in two more brigades of troops in a short period of time. Zhang Zuolin not only took control of the overall political situation of Beiping in one fell swoop, but also finally
The important thing is to oust Wu Peifu and Cao Kun, and receive a large number of weapons and equipment from the Zhili clique, and also greatly expand his own troops in Duan Duan for half a month. Although Duan Qirui was tricked by Zhang Zuolin, the bandit leader, he always
From a practical point of view, it can be considered that twelve planes were exchanged for the title of the highest executive of the Republic of China. Thinking about it, it is quite worthwhile.
After the secret meeting, Duan Qirui never mentioned the twelve planes to Zhang Zuolin again. This matter was just a weight, and everyone knew it well.
Since this secret meeting has set the tone for Duan Qirui as the highest chief executive of the Republic of China, he must also give advice to the governors and generals across the country, so that he can be elected in the parliament at that time. So Duan Qirui
Qi Rui decided to hold a banquet in Cao's Garden in Tianjin two days later, firstly to thank Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin, and secondly to let everyone see what the situation was like.
As soon as the news came out that Duan Qirui was hosting a banquet for everyone in Tianjin, the big guys from all over the country naturally smelled something unusual. At this juncture when the Zhili-Fengtian War had just ended, Duan Qirui wanted to entertain Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin. This is
A signal, nine times out of ten, the position of supreme chief executive belongs to Duan Qirui.
Wu Peifu is currently recruiting his own army in Luoyang, and at the same time recruiting some soldiers locally. However, in just a few days, his power has not been able to grow much at once, and Peng Pang is also depressed.
As a commander-in-chief, without a gun, he has no right to speak. Wu Peifu knew this truth very well, but what could he do? At this time, he was like a bereaved dog, wandering all over the country. He finally found a den in Luoyang, but
…
Wu Peifu also received the news that Duan Qirui hosted a banquet for Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin in Cao's Garden in Tianjin. With his years of political acumen, he naturally knew that there were ulterior secrets in it. But now he no longer has the ability to intervene in these matters.
Let them go their own way. The most important thing they should deal with now is how to deal with the threat of Liu Zhenhua, the governor of Shaanxi Province.
After Wu Peifu retreated to Luoyang, he received news that Liu Zhenhua, the governor of Shaanxi Province, was eyeing his down-and-out force. Wu Peifu was really angry and evil, and he wished he could tear this bastard to pieces.
You must know that when Wu Peifu was still in charge of the direct power, Liu Zhenhua, the governor of Shaanxi, had no say. But now that he is in trouble, all kinds of cats and dogs have come to step on his feet.
It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog.
But now Marshal Wu Peifu is angry or angry, but he really has no way to do anything to this Liu Zhenhua, because his current military strength is really too weak. He currently has less than 20,000 men under his command, and among them there are
The 18,000 were newly formed in Luoyang. Let alone fight, such a team would be a good thing as long as they don't run back on the battlefield.
But as for Liu Zhenhua, the governor of Shaanxi, he used to be just a little cat and a dog in his eyes, but now, he has several times his superior strength and weapons and equipment that are much better than his own. What do he have? It can be said that
If you are poor and useless, what can you do to fight with others?
Now there are only two options before Wu Peifu and Marshal Wu. The first is to fight him, and the second is to leave.
Speaking of leaving, it basically counts as escaping. When has Marshal Wu ever done such a shameful thing? He was defeated by Zhang Zuolin in the Zhili-Fengtian War and fled to Luoyang, but after all, Zhang Zuolin was also the king of the Northeast.
A well-known hero, it would not be a shame to escape under his men, but Liu Zhenjun was nothing, and if he ran away under his threat, wouldn't it be ridiculous.
Now Wu Peifu is really like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save himself.
Naturally, Zhang Zuolin couldn't refuse Duan Qirui's request for a banquet, so he agreed.
These things are all trivial to him. The most important thing for him now is to grasp the situation in Peiping, and it is best to control Peiping by force. Then he will have the final say, but Feng Yuxiang has already taken the lead and ruined his good deeds.
.
Zhang Zuolin's plan was clear and grand. After defeating the Zhili clique, he would move his army into the Pass, occupy important northern areas such as Beiping and Tianjin, and then slowly move south to plot south of the Yangtze River.
But what Zhang Zuolin didn't expect was that Feng Yuxiang interfered with Huang in the first step of his plan. Feng Yuxiang occupied Beijing. Although his own team also came over, he couldn't openly compete with him for control. When the time came, he would say
Maybe something will happen again.
The matter in Peking is now at a stalemate, but the matter in Tianjin must be taken first.
After Duan Qirui, Sun Wen and others left by car, Zhang Zuolin immediately notified Zhang Xueliang to assemble two divisions of troops and stationed in Tianjin.
Originally, according to agreements in various places, Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun was not allowed to enter the customs, but once a war broke out, who would care so much.
Zhang Zuolin ordered Zhang Xueliang to dispatch two divisions to Tianjin in the name of hunting down the remnants of the direct clan. His intention was very obvious. Feng Yuxiang could temporarily occupy Beijing, and the title of supreme ruler of the Republic of China could be placed on Duan Qirui. All of these were
It was just a false name. What Zhang Zuolin wanted was real power. Only when his own troops occupied Tianjin could his words count. The rest were just pretense.
Zhang Xueliang received the order and did not dare to neglect. He quickly ordered his two divisions to enter Tianjin. After thinking about it, he also sent Han Baihang's team there.
Zhang Xueliang's purpose is very clear. Han Baihang has just hijacked twelve Anhui aircraft. It is naturally a great achievement, and he naturally wants to be rewarded. However, he has sins on his body. If he wants to be rewarded, he cannot be too blatant. Therefore,
We can only secretly allow him to expand his troops.
This time I sent him to Tianjin with me, hoping that he could seize this opportunity and quickly expand his troops in Wu Peifu's hometown. By then, he would form an effective fighting force and his strength would reach a higher level.
