Chapter 202 Choice 1

Since Yuan Shikai was assassinated in early October, the situation in China has been turbulent, and many things have happened are unexpected.

First of all, the Qing court appointed Wang Shizhen as the governor of Zhili, Feng Guozhang as the secretary of the Army Department, Zhao Dongyun as the governor of the three eastern provinces, Wu Fengling as the governor of Rehe, and Zhang Huaizhi as the governor of Shandong.

Then Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun issued telegrams one after another, asking the court to correct the murder of Yuan Shikai's murderers, and used this reason to directly wave troops to the capital, which led to the outbreak of the Beijing war.

Subsequently, except for the second town of Wu Fengling, which hid in the Rehe River, the other six towns were more or less involved in the battle. Even Li Yuanhong's eighth town under Zhang Zhidong, Hubei Province and the 29th Mixed Association in Henan participated in it. The above forces formed about three battlefields, one is Zhao Dongyun's The Tongzhou battlefield of the three towns and the sixth town of Fengtian First Cavalry Association and Wang Shizhen, the second is the southwestern battlefield of Beijing attacked by Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai. The third is the opposition between Zhang Huaizhi's fifth town and the eighth town and the 29th mixed association.

However, in the above three battlefields, only Wang Shizhen's sixth town and Zhao Dongyun's third town in the direction of Tongzhou really broke out a large-scale offensive and defensive battle. Zhao Dongyun directly broke through the Tongzhou defense line through a wide range of roundabouts and broke through the sixth town.

But for Zhao Dongyun, this brilliant victory has become the unity of other Beiyang generals to deal with him*!

Before, the generals were quite estimated to have the strength of Zhao Dongyun's three towns. Now it is rumored that his third town can fight so well that he can beat the head of the sixth town, which is also the direct line of Beiyang. How can this not shock other Beiyang generals, especially Wang Yingkai, who wants to ascend to the position of leader of Beiyang, after this After the war, he became more afraid of Zhao Dongyun's army.

When Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and others found that they could not fight against Zhao Dongyun on their own military power, it became a foregone conclusion to unite against Zhao Dongyun.

Before that, Wang Shizhen did not have any hope for the court and Feng Guozhang. In the case of great losses in the sixth town, Wang Shizhen decisively turned against the water and reached an unknown agreement with Wang Yingkai, and united with Wang Yingkai's first town to end Feng Guozhang's seventh town.

Under the attack, Feng Guozhang's seventh town was completely dispersed without sticking for a day. Feng Guozhang himself had to flee to the embassy area and hide in the French embassy. On the one hand, Feng Guozhang, who lost all his troops, was forced, and on the other hand, he was also frustrated, so he issued a telegram to resign from the Ministry of the Army. The position of book and the position of seventh town control officially announced their dismissal.

At the same time, Wang Yingkai, Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui issued telegrams one after another in just one day, that is, on November 24th. The content of the telegrams is generally to follow Yuan Gong's last wishes and create a republican cloud!

On the surface, these electricity are said to be republics, but in Zhao Dongyun, who is in Tongzhou, this is an obvious signal that Wang Yingkai, Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui have formed an alliance.

And at this critical moment when Manqing is about to end and Beiyang moved into Beijing, who are they going to deal with if the above three people form an alliance?

can be roughly divided into the following groups!

The first is used to deter the governors of southern provinces, such as Zhang Zhidong and other Han ministers in Huguang. In addition, it is also to deter Manchu governors against other provinces, especially the Manchu governors such as Yingchang, who control Jiangbei and Duanfang of the two rivers.

The second is to threaten to attract other factions in the North Sea, such as Wu Fengling, the governor of Rehe, who controls the second town, Zhang Huaizhi, the governor of Shandong, who owns the fifth town, and some Beiyang collaterals, such as the 29th Mixed Association of Henan, Ma Yukun's Wuwei Left Army, Jiang Guiti's Jiang Fang Army, etc.

The third one, needless to say, is naturally to deal with the Su system under Zhao Dongyun.

According to the above three groups, the biggest threat to Wang Yingkai and others is not the southern governor, nor is it the other Beiyang collateral, but Zhao Dongyun, one of the direct bosses of Beiyang.

Although Zhao Dongyun is the least senior among several bigwigs in Beiyang, no one can but admit that Zhao Dongyun is a direct descendant of Beiyang, and people say that he is junior. In fact, compared with Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui, if it is put into the whole Beiyang system, he can actually surpass Zhao Dongyun's qualifications. Not many.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Dongyun joined the army to apply for the Tianjin Military Reserve School. After graduation, he was transferred to the new army during the training period. At that time, he became a team officer under Yuan Shikai. Then he was sent to Germany to study. A few years later, he returned to China to teach in the Wuwei Right Army Camp School, and then he was promoted to the Wuwei Right Army in the year of Xin Chou. The second battalion of the right wing and the supervision of the new machine gun team. The next year, he went to Guangzong to suppress the civil unhabilization and was promoted to the three-grade alternate governor. Then he was promoted to the supervision of the new machine gun battalion and the assistant of the training office of the Beiyang Military and Political Department. Before long, he was promoted to the commander of the Third Association, and then he became the leader of the Third Mixed Association, the Third Town Control, and Shengjing. General, governor of the three eastern provinces, etc.

In fact, there are not many high-ranking generals of the Beiyang Army who can have such rich resumes as Zhao Dongyun!

So don't look at Zhao Dongyun's youth, and don't look at people talking about his juniority every day, but in the whole Beiyang, except for Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui who can stabilize him in terms of seniority, others really don't have this qualification!

Otherwise, why should Zhao Dongyun be the boss of the Soviet system? You should know that Chen Guangyuan, Cao Kuan, Meng Enyuan and others under him are all famous warlords in later generations. However, these people can only obediently claim to be subordinates in front of Zhao Dongyun. As for those who have just got up in recent years. Those international students who came were able to live as juniors, and many people had to call him a teacher. He served as a teacher in Suiying School for nearly a year, and then hosted the Third Town Suiying School and Fengtian Wubei School for many years. There are many students who have taught!

In the past two years, Zhao Dongyun has been able to lead the Su faction and Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and others to compete for power and profits, and now he has competed with Wang Duan for the position of Beiyang leader, relying not only on the third town under him, but also on his prestige and qualifications second only to Wang Duan.

And even if such a person cannot be compared with Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai in terms of qualifications and prestige, Zhao Dongyun has the most troops under him, which undoubtedly increases Zhao Dongyun's prestige.

The addition of the above makes Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and others extremely guard against Zhao Dongyun!

So in this case, it is not surprising that Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen unite to deal with Zhao Dongyun.

Zhao Dongyun is still very clear about his situation and also feels a great threat, which is also the reason why he feels extremely angry.

However, Zhao Dongyun has always been a person who likes to sit back and wait for death. Now that everyone has torn his face, there is no need for Zhao Dongyun to continue to maintain the current false peace!

The day after Wang Duanwang and Wang released the telegram, that is, on the 25th, Zhao Dongyun's telegram also came late!

The content mentioned on the telegram seems to be no different from other people, nothing more than republicanism or something. At the same time, he put on the tone of the boss of Beiyang and invited the bigwigs of Beiyang to come to Tongzhou to discuss state affairs together!

People who don't understand the truth probably think that Zhao Dongyun and Wang Yingkai are still in the same military alliance.

However, people with political sense** can only see from the time of this telecomm and publication and Zhao Dongyun's invitation to Tongzhou to discuss that Zhao Dongyun has fallen out with Wang Yingkai!

Everyone knows that this battlefield is the Northern Civil War from beginning to end, and everyone can see what this civil war is for!

is the position of the Lord of the North Sea!

However, judging from the multiple telecommunications in the past two days, it is obvious that Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun have formed two centers, and everyone wants to compete for the initiative!

Sure enough, as expected by outsiders, Wang Yingkai also quickly issued a telegram inviting the generals to gather in Baoding to discuss the great cause of republicanism!

Subsequently, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Huaizhi quickly issued a telegram, saying that they would arrive in Baoding in the future to discuss the republican cause!

Even Wang Ruxian, the leader of the 29th Mixed Association, was unwilling to lag behind. After his boss Feng Guozhang completely fell, he immediately chose to turn to Wang Yingkai and issued a telegram saying that Henan firmly supported the republic.

Zhao Dongyun looked at these people's electricity and felt that his face was slapped!

"Damn!" Zhao Dongyun, who has always maintained his image and rarely speaks rudely, has been speaking frequently in the past two days, and his anger is also particularly strong, much like Hitler in 1944.

In the face of such a corrupt situation, Zhao Dongyun felt deeply powerless for the first time. Since he came to this era, he has never felt as helpless as he is now.

It seems that no matter how hard he tries, several other people have determined that Wang Yingkai is the heir of Beiyang!

Why, when it comes to his reputation at home and abroad, does Wang Yingkai have me, Zhao Dongyun? At least I have been on the front page of the New York Daily. I am not a household name in China, but I am much more famous than your Wang Yingkai. If it weren't for this civil war, how many Chinese people would know Wang Yingkai?

Speaking of strength, I now have more than 60,000 troops in three towns and three associations, and continue to expand the army. At the end of the year, more than 100,000 troops are easy, and you Wang Yingkai is only the first town at best. It is still a question whether Zhang Huaizhi's fifth town can command, and it is even more impossible for others.

But Wang Yingkai was able to pull over other bigwigs in Beiyang one by one. On the contrary, except for a large number of young people who came to Jinzhou to rely on him, there were no other bigwigs with weight!

In the face of this situation, Zhao Dongyun has no choice but to have a powerful feeling!
