Chapter 214 Shanxi Battle 2

Are you kidding? Whether Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are forced or voluntary, Wang Yingkai asked them to go south and fight with Zhang Zhidong and Duanfang. Zhao Dongyun is also happy to see it. After all, this territory in the north really can't afford to raise four warlords. Now Zhao Dongyun occupies the northeast, and Wang Yingkai occupies the straight Li, and Wang Ruxian and Zhang Huaizhi are not good at it. It is impossible for them to cede Shandong and Henan, so it is inevitable that Qi Rui and Wang Shizhen will go south to grab territory.

It's just that if these two rivers and Huguang are ** big but also risky, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen ostensibly got a position as governor of governor of Huguang and two rivers, but they don't know how many subordinates will be killed and injured.

However, Shanxi is different. Wang Yingkai also said that the new army under Enshou in Shanxi can fight at most. Even if Zhao Dongyun said that he has recruited a lot of new recruits in the past two months, his combat effectiveness is not good enough. According to the combat effectiveness of the old Beiyang troops, not to mention sending a town, even if it is So I went to a mixed association, which can also take down Shanxi safely.

Shanxi, which can be won without much effort, is a typical fat meat!

And this is not yet the strategic position of Shanxi. As long as he controls Shanxi, he can threaten Zhili and Henan at any time. If Zhao Dongyun controls Shanxi, he does not intend to negotiate with Wang Yingkai. He will directly attack the two armies and rob Zhili first.

On the contrary, if Wang Yingkai controls Shanxi, then Zhili and Shanxi can unite to quickly expand his direct jurisdiction, and then further attract Wang Ruxian in Henan and Zhang Huaizhi in Shandong, and then completely establish a four-provincial alliance. At that time, Wang Yingkai will be worthy of Beiyang. The boss.

However, will Zhao Dongyun let this happen? Impossible!

Wang Yingkai heard Zhao Dongyun's objection. Although everything had been expected, he still couldn't help frowning: "Oh, what do you mean by Yi Ziyang?"

Zhao Dongyun said, "If the 7th Division is not strong enough, the 1st Division should be stationed in Gyeonggi Province. The 4th Division and the 6th Division, 5th Division and 8th Divisions are all going south to fight. The 2nd Division should be stationed on the Rehe River, the 3rd Division should be stationed in Jinzhou, the 9th Division should be stationed in Fengtian, and the other mixed brigades are also new and have no combat effectiveness. I think it's better let If the 10th Division goes there, then Shanxi can also take it down!"

In Zhao Dongyun's few words, the front is nonsense, and the last sentence is the key point. Whose army is this 10th Division? It was the original second town of Fengtian, his direct army of Zhao Dongyun.

Who doesn't want to eat such a piece of fat meat in Shanxi? Wang Yingkai wants it, but Zhao Dongyun also wants it!

Sure enough, Wang Yingkai's face also changed slightly after Zhao Dongyun's straightforward words about Shanxi: "Japanese and Russian troops are in charge of the three eastern provinces. There is no heavy troops stationed here. I'm really worried. I think the 10th Division should go back to the northeast to garrison!"

After hearing this, Zhao Dongyun did not immediately refute, but did not speak. Anyway, without his consent, Wang Yingkai absolutely did not dare to send Wang Zhanyuan's 7th Division to Shanxi in private, because if he dared to do so under Zhao Dongyun's objection, the next day, Zhao Dongyun dared to send troops to the capital to take Wang Yingkai's nest.

There will be no answer to this Shanxi topic for a while, and seeing that it is already dark outside, everyone has been talking for a day, so Duan Qirui proposed to adjourn the meeting first, go back to rest for one night, and continue the next day!

So, everyone dispersed first. After returning to the Lishunde Hotel, Zhao Dongyun called Li San: "How's Yang Debiao's situation? How's the talk with Wu Fengling?"

Li San said, "I just received a telegram from him in the morning, saying that although Wu Fengling's tone was kind, he still didn't accept it!"

"I didn't expect it to be a hard bone!" Zhao Dongyun frowned. When he sent someone to win over Wu Fengling, the Southern Federal Empire had not yet been established. At that time, the reason for wooing Wu Fengling was to beat Wang Yingkai together. Even Zhao Dongyun threw away the future commander-general of the army department and even the ** of the governor of Zhili.

However, Zhao Dongyun was not the only one who attracted Wu Fengling, but also Wang Yingkai, and there were many conditions to take it out. It is said that the people Wang Yingkai sent were Wu Fengling who went directly with gold.

However, Wu Fengling is also a sensible person who knows the importance of preserving strength and knows that only when Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun compete can he show the greatest value. Therefore, in the face of the solicitation of Wang and Zhao, he has a good appetite. The 500 guns sent by Zhao Dongyun were accepted by him, and the gold sent by Wang Yingkai I also accepted it, but I didn't agree to join any family.

Zhao Dongyun stood up at this time, and then went to the map temporarily hung on the wall and looked at it!

Even people who don't know the strategy know that Shanxi is actually more important than Shandong or even Henan. Whether it is Wang Yingkai or Zhao Dongyun, whoever controls Shanxi represents who controls the initiative in the future and can launch a fatal blow to the other party. However, everyone knows these, then it means No one will give in.

Zhao Dongyun, the seventh division under Wang Yingkai, would not agree to go to Shanxi, and the tenth division under Zhao Dongyun went to Shanxi, but Wang Yingkai did not agree!

As for Wang Ruxian and Wang Shizhen to send people to Shanxi, Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun did not agree!

But Shanxi can't be empty all the time. If Shanxi's Enshou really makes tens of thousands of troops, it will be a big deal at that time!

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Dongyun went to Li San and said, "Give Yang Deming a call and ask him to talk to Wu Fengling immediately. As long as he agrees to vote, I will protect him as the governor of Shanxi!"

Naturally, Li San did not know that he had made many choices before Zhao Dongyun said this. Since Wang Yingkai and himself allowed the other party to control Shanxi, he would arrange others to go, and Wu Fengling was more suitable among the people to choose.

And once Wu Fengling went to Shanxi, the hot river will be empty. Although there is nothing in that place, it is at least a piece of territory. At that time, he can compete with Wang Yingkai and get some benefits.

In addition, it is very important that as long as the second town of Wu Fengling leaves the Rehe River, it means that Zhao Dongyun's troops can obtain northern security. There is no need to prevent Wu Fengling and Wang Yingkai from joining forces to cut off their back roads every day as before.

If he can control Rehe, Zhao Dongyun will be able to solve his strategic security problems in the future!

The Rehe River, also known as the area under the jurisdiction of the contemporary Rehe Capital, is Zhili Chengde Prefecture, the ancient Zhaowuda League and the Zhuosotu League in Inner Mongolia. It is located in the northwest area of Tangshan, Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, which are actually controlled by Zhao Dongyun.

From a military strategic point of view, Rehe can easily threaten Tangshan, Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, and after controlling this area, Zhao Dongyun represents a complete solution to the strategic security problems in the northwest.

If Zhao Dongyun wants to enter the customs in the future, then Rehe definitely needs to be controlled, otherwise the strategic security of the troops entering the customs will not be guaranteed.

However, the Rehe River is too poor. If the Rehe is obtained, it is equivalent to letting the finances of the three eastern provinces raise another hot river, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for the finances of the three eastern provinces, which have been difficult to maintain.

However, many things can't only consider the so-called economic or short-term interests. If Zhao Dongyun wants to move into the capital one day, the best thing is to get Shanxi. However, if he can take the capital, Zhao Dongyun's strategy will have to change immediately. If Shanxi is in hand, what else is he waiting for? Military capital division, the two sides attack to take down Zhili first, and then slowly fight with the federation over there.

But this strategic plan is similar to daydreaming. If Wang Yingkai is killed, Zhao Dongyun's troops will not cross Zhili and control Shanxi.

Secondly, it is to take a step-by-step approach, first take down the Rehe, and then slowly plotting places such as Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Zhili.

In this case, in order to solve the Shanxi problem and the hot river problem, it became an inevitable choice for him to promote Wu Fengling to move into Shanxi.

Rehe Chengde, Wu Fengling listened to Yang Deming's eloquentness in front of him. Although his expression was still calm, his heart was full of surprise!

"Are you serious about what you said? Is Commander Zhao really willing to support me to enter Shanxi? Wu Fengling doesn't believe his ears. Zhao Dongyun wants to support him to go to Shanxi. This is completely a matter of pie in the world. Can this also make himself meet?

To be honest, Wu Fengling has been a tragedy in the past two months. At the beginning, he escaped from Shanhaiguan and was unwilling to participate in the Beiyang Civil War. He seemed to avoid the center of the storm and watch the play on the sidelines, but in fact, this behavior has brought him serious consequences, that is, marginalization!

Two months later, the world only knows Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun, and occasionally Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen, but who still knows that he is Wu Fengling and Zhang Huaizhi. In addition, the ghost place of Rehe may have great military strategic value for Zhao Dongyun, but for Wu Fengling, this place is a It's not worth it.

In terms of expansion strategy, the east and south are the three eastern provinces of Zhao Dongyun and the Tangshan area of Zhili, and the southwest are Wang Yingkai's Zhili and Wu Fengling can only run to the grassland to fight with the Mongols to expand...

And more importantly, Rehe is poor. In the past two months, Zhao Dongyun and several other people have been expanding their troops. Even Shandong, Zhang Huaizhi and Wang Ruxian from Henan are expanding their troops. Only Wu Fengling not only did not expand his army, but he even raised a current second division.

The pre-Qing Dynasty was fine. The military expenditure of the Beiyang Army was given by the court, and then Yuan Shikai gathered money everywhere to solve it. But now the Qing court is finished and Beiyang is also divided. Whether it is Wang Yingkai, Zhao Dongyun or Wu Fengling, they have to work on their own. The military expenditure has been solved.

Zhao Dongyun has a territory in the three eastern provinces. Naturally, he can support several divisions. Shandong and Henan are not bad. Wang Yingkai has Zhili, and Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen also turned the capital master upside down. One by one is full of money, so don't look at the fact that Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are not real now. International territory, but they are not short of money now. They have at least millions of taels of silver in their hands. Speaking of this money, they are much more confident than Zhao Dongyun.

Only Wu Fengling, not to mention millions, now he can't even take out the army's money next month!

In this case, if you can go to Shanxi and grab the local market, let alone raise the current second division, it is estimated that a few more divisions can be expanded.

Thinking of this, Wu Fengling's eyes began to shine: "Is Commander Zhao really willing to support me?"

Yang Deming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "You also know Marshal Wu, the commander of my family. He has always said the same thing, and his promise to say it has never been pulled down! He said that if you are a governor of Shanxi, he will naturally protect you a governor of Shanxi!"

Hearing this affirmative reply, Wu Fengling said, "Okay, as long as your commander can do it, why don't I sell my life to him?"
