Beiyang Xiaoxiong

Chapter 330 Hate

Zhao Dongyun agreed to Wang Shizhen's conditions so easily, which means that he has not really paid attention to these conditions. There is only one real reason: that is expediency.

It's just that being safe and not Li San, not that every senior Soviet official can guess Zhao Dongyun's true thoughts from Zhao Dongyun's words and a small number of facial expressions like Li San.

To be honest, when Wang Shizhen asked for independent political, military and financial status and wanted to continue to be his mountain king, Zhao Dongyun had made up his mind that his Feng army must enter Hubei and wanted to be a warlord under his own? Don't look at Zhao Dongyun. He is a warlord himself, and he will never allow his subordinates to appear again.

As for the collaborator, he thinks there are too many Wu Fengling. If there are more, how can he unify China? Is it possible that he can only be a nominal president directly under several northern provinces, but those provinces in the south are independent? Isn't he more incompetent than Yuan Shikai in history?

At least they have unified the provinces of southern China after the Second Revolution!

He wants a unified China as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, not a split China in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or the Five Kingdoms!

So the remaining Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Zhang Huaizhi, Wu Fengling, and Zhang Zhidong of the Southern Federation can all be eliminated!

The reason why he agreed to Wang Shizhen's conditions is that he needed Wang Shizhen to block Zhang Zhidong's northward pace. Anyway, Hubei is not under his control now. First, he supported Wang Shizhen and Zhang Zhidong to fight, and continued to invest his main resources in northern Jiangsu. Anyway, he should first solve the transfer of Duan Qirui Besides, the 70,000 to 800,000 troops in northern Jiangsu are secondary.

Once he takes Subei and Anhui, he can free his hands to enter Hubei. At that time, no matter whether Wang Shizhen or Zhang Zhidong, he will be eliminated.

But then again, Zhao Dongyun is just a stopgap measure now, but isn't Wang Shizhen's side?

Even if he is facing the crisis of complete defeat, he is unwilling to completely surrender to Zhao Dongyun, but makes a request for an almost armistice agreement. The reason why he has such confidence is that he knows that Zhao Dongyun needs him, at least now!

Wang Shizhen is not a fool. On the contrary, she can become a warlord and one of the few leading warlords in China in this chaotic era. In addition to his huge prestige, Wang Shizhen's personal ability is naturally not bad, otherwise how can she become the three heroes of Beiyang?

In the early days of Beiyang, that is, during the period of the Wuwei Right Army and the Beiyang Standing Army, there were only four most outstanding Beiyang generals except Yuan Shikai himself. They were Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang of the three heroes of Beiyang, plus Zhao Dongyun, a hero of Beiyang.

These four people are also the four bigwigs of Beiyang in the early and middle of Beiyang. With the death of the older generation of Beiyang high-level bosses such as Liu Yongqing, these four people have become the only four bigwigs left in Beiyang. Their reputation and status are unmatched by Wu Fengling and Zhang Huaizhi, who were also in the same town at the beginning. Needless to say, the officers who are still in the second echelon of the unified and standard.

Now the numbers of the three armies of the Central Army have been occupied by the Feng army. The previous First Army, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Feng Army occupied the numbers of the First Army, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Central Army respectively, and the commanders of each army are Meng Enyuan, Xu Bangjie and Chen The light is far away.

However, it is interesting that the Republican government under Zhao Dongyun still admits that Duan Qirui is the division commander of the 4th Division of the Central Army, Wang Shizhen is the division commander of the 6th Division of the Central Army, and Zhang Huaizhi is the commander of the 5th Division of the Central Army, and the unit number of these warlords has never been revoked.

Now, the presidential palace has recognized the legitimacy of the Huguang Patrol Office in official documents, Wang Shizhen and Huguang Patrol envoy. In addition, Wang Shizhen's announcement of the legitimacy of Zhao Dongyun's presidency and support for the central government, which shows that Wang Shizhen and Zhao Dongyun have reached some kind of difference. A well-known secret agreement.

And this is indeed the case. When Wang Shizhen issued a telegram to support the central and the republican government, the main force of nearly 30,000 Hubei troops on the side of Wushengguan began to go south along the Jinghan Railway to Hankou overnight, leaving only one infantry battalion garrison in such a large Wushengguan.

Before that, the 13th Feng Army Division stationed outside Wusheng Pass had also retreated to Xinyang to garrison, leaving only one infantry battalion outside Wusheng Pass.

In addition to retreating from their respective troops, a truck left Zhengzhou with a large number of shells, bullets, grain and a small number of rifles, machine guns and other military supplies and began to go directly to Hubei. The military supplies on the train were part of the military supplies purchased by Wang Shizhen. The bullets and shells on them were all urgent by the Hubei army. Need it.

Wang Shizhen's sudden declaration of her allegiance to the Central Republican Government can be said to be unexpected by many people, because from the previous domestic situation, although the anti-Feng coalition forces suffered many blows, Wang Yingkai and Wang Ruxian were destroyed one after another, and Zhang Huaizhi's Lu army was severely damaged, but there was no rumor of the anti-Feng Union. The news of the breakdown of the army is even more uncompromising, which can be seen from the fact that nearly 200,000 troops of the two armies in northern Jiangsu are living and Anhui.

Even if there will be major changes in the future, it should be said after the decisive battle between Feng and Anhui in northern Jiangsu. However, what I didn't expect was that the northern Jiangsu was still fighting. Despite the loss of Fengjun's progress, the Anhui army still defended Xuzhou at least. Why did Wang Shizhen suddenly rebel?

Even if he wants to turn to Zhao Dongyun, he should wait until Duan Qirui completely fails!

At this time, it was not only unexpected by ordinary people, but also unexpected by Duan Qirui. He did not expect that when he was struggling in northern Jiangsu, Wang Shizhen actually betrayed himself and then chose to collude with Zhao Dongyun. Although he rationally also knew why Wang Shizhen did this, Hubei Wang Shizhen also knew that Wang Shizhen was facing a great crisis, but he felt that even if the crisis was bigger, it would be okay for Wang Shizhen not to retreat directly to Anhui. Well, at that time, he would be able to naturally compile the Hubei army that had lost its territory.

It's a mistake!

After shaking his head, Duan Qirui would have known that when Wang Shizhen asked him to buy ammunition at the beginning of the month, he should have squeezed out part of it for him. However, at that time, he also fought very hard in northern Jiangsu, and the ammunition could not be supplied, and many troops on the front line did not have enough bullets and The shell was used, so Wang Shizhen's request was rejected.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Zhidong had such great courage that he had gathered more than 100,000 troops to fight back, which completely broke away from his impression of the Southern Federal Army.

However, he was also even more disappointed with Wang Shizhen. Duan Qirui didn't know what the army of the Southern Federation was. At the beginning, he swept more than 200,000 southern federal troops in the two rivers with a fourth division, and then controlled Fujian and Zhejiang all the way. If the sudden entry of the Feng army had not disrupted his plan, he would have swept the whole whole. The whole Fujian and Jiangxi, and then marched to Liangguang, Huguang and Hubei. Maybe even Huguang and Liangguang have been taken now.

It's a hate that at a critical moment, the Feng army entered the customs, and Wang Yingkai's 70,000 army was completely annihilated by the Feng army in less than a month!

And what is even more hateful now is that Wang Shizhen supported 60,000 troops in Hubei, including the 6th Division of the old Beiyang Army and the remnants of the 7th Division of the original 7th Division, but they were defeated by more than 100,000 troops under Zhang Zhidong!

That's right, Duan Qirui uses the word 'district'! In his opinion, if it were him, more than 100,000 troops from Zhang Zhidong could not stop his southward attack at all, not to mention the counterattack. In the final analysis, Wang Shizhen was too weak!

And Wang Shizhen's own weakness was fine, but he also defected to Zhao Dongyun, which caused a serious impact on Duan Qirui!
