49 is crumbling

The Qing army became a frightened bird and retreated to the Longdong and Pingliang areas. In view of the restoration of Ningxia Prefecture, Qin and Long's throats were cut off, completely cutting off the contact between the Northwest Qing Army and the Beiyang Qing Army stationed in Taiyuan. Therefore, Li Xiang was able to fully implement the combat policy of the Pingliang Battle and take advantage of the victory to launch a pursuit and annihilation of the Qing Army.

Li wants to hold a senior cadre meeting in Wenguang Village near Baojimang Town.

When analyzing the enemy situation, Li Xiang pointed out: "After the Qing army retreats to the Longdong area, if it continues to retreat, it will lose the throat of Gansu - Pingliang, which is bound to cause our army to directly attack Lanzhou. It is estimated that the Qing army will not be willing to be hit by our annihilation, and will definitely resist with the natural danger in the area of Pingliang. If the Northwest Qing army is ready to fight a decisive battle, this is a good opportunity for the Anxi army to gather and annihilate the main force of the Northwest Qing army. Therefore, with Zhao Youcheng's division stationed at Tongguan, he restrained Zhao Ti's Beiyang Army in Henan Province to ensure the safety of our rear. Lin Tiechang concentrated the superior forces of the Anxi Army, chased the Northwest Qing Army in separate ways, and strived to annihilate its main force in the Pingliang area. Take the cavalry brigade attached to the Anxi Army as the right wing, and advance along the Xilanguan Road and its sides to attack Pingliang; take the Jingbumu Northern Shaanxi militia and Zhang Baolin Hanzhong militia as the left wing, and go parallel to the north in two roads. First take Long County, go straight to the west of Pingliang, cut off the enemy's retreat, and attack the enemy that may be reinforced in the direction of Lanzhou and Guyuan; under my direct command The division serves as the general reserve team.

"Zhang Baolin took dozens of infantry with him during the uprising, but after being appointed as a South Road appeasement envoy by the Shaanxi Military Government, he joined the team of the Elder Brother Association." Narcissus recalled it carefully and said, "The elder brothers' associations in all counties, townships and towns in Shaanxi were in full bloom. They set up wharves and recruited party members. It was not until the Ezhou Revolutionary Army entered Shaanxi that the local order was gradually restored."

"I know what you mean." Lixiang's face pulled down in an instant: "The hooligans should also make use of it!" We began to be righteous. Relying on those hooligans, they are not afraid of death. Even if the revolution succeeds and the army wants to clean up the hooligans, I will not agree, not to mention this extraordinary period. For a gray history of the success of the revolution, Li Xiang completely learned from Grandpa Mao and dared to admit it.

The senior generals present are moved. With the courage of Li Xiang as deep as the sea, they can fight on the battlefield at ease.

"I admit that the victory of the Wuchang Revolution and the Shaanxi Revolution is the result of the joint action of the revolutionaries and the elder brother association." I don't know whether the daffodils are flattery or sarcasm. However, in the Shaanxi Ge Lao Association, only a few people who recognize the general situation and take care of the overall situation can realize this. Most people think that the whole department is the credit of the Lao Association. At the same time, they do not understand the significance and purpose of the national democratic revolutionary movement advocated by Sun Yat-sen, so they mistakenly believe that it is the time for the elder brother association to come. This kind of thinking is very dangerous. After the restoration of Shaanxi, the heads of the elder brother's association actively expanded their power. In addition to summoning their brothers to form a team in the army, they also set up wharves in provincial cities and counties. The dock was a grassroots secret organization of the former elder brother's association. At this time, the gates of the docks in various places were openly inserted with triangular small red flags, written on the so-and-so wharf, and the surname of the person in charge of the wharf was written in the middle, indicating that he was a great person. In addition to handling their affairs, the docks added by the elder brother's association in Xi'an streets and alleys are also responsible for local public security. For example, at night, residents are ordered to form a private team and set up a card vigil at the street entrance; in order to facilitate inspection, and order an oil lamp is ordered at the door of each house; the office expenses of each dock are also apportioned by household, and so on. However, Xi'an is the capital of the province, and they don't dare to do too much. As for other counties, their disturbance to the people is very serious. Brothers and sisters in each county set up docks. Tong Avenue or the prefectures and counties where there are troops stationed, the wharf also serves as a grain platform, sends money, and some also files lawsuits and lynchings. Their power is actually above the county official. Between the wharf and the wharf, in order to compete for power and profit, the phenomenon of bullying the small and bullying the weak is even more different. The nuisance of the elder brother's association in all states and counties has affected local security and finances, which is unfavorable to the military and civil affairs of Shaanxi.

Li Xiang shook his head with a smile: "Those gentry are a little exaggerated. After the Ezhou Revolutionary Army arrived in Shaanxi, it arrested several of the main criminals and integrated the uprising team into militia. The order in Shaanxi gradually improved.

Li Xiang glanced at the map and said, "It is cold in winter in the northwest, and the high roads in the north and south of Long County are dangerous and sparsely populated. The campaign should be carried out as early as possible, and it will be more difficult to postpone it." He dropped his pencil on the map and concluded, "As long as the Pingliang Campaign can annihilate Ma Anliang's main force, the northwest war situation can basically be solved. In the future, the occupation of Gansu and Xinjiang is basically just a matter of walking and taking over." At the same time, he also repeatedly warned the leaders of the Anxi Army: "It is a relatively serious battle to fight against Ma Anliang. You should be prepared to pay a higher price. Don't paralyze the enemy and be careless."

"The commander of the Anxi Army drove Longdong straight and followed the Qing army, but the Qing army continued to retreat." After saying that, the Narcissus smiled and muttered.

Li Xiang's heart moved and concluded, "The Qing army has given up its intention to fight against the Anxi army in Pingliang!" Then he immediately said, "We can only revise the original battle plan and destroy the main force of the Qing army in the northwest in one fell swoop."

At this time, Li Xiang became autocratic again. He slapped the table and gave direct instructions to the corps: "Ma Anliang seems to be backed by Guyuan and Ningxia, and Shengyun is backed by Lanzhou. The decisive battle between Yu Pingliang and me seems to have changed to fight every step, delaying our army. The Anxi army continued to carry out pursuit missions and annihilate the enemy. Order: Lin Tiechang followed the attack on Jingchuan and Pingliang. After occupying Pingliang, he developed in the direction of Guyuan and Haiyuan, and chased and annihilated the main force of Ma Anliang's elite army. Liu Jingjing Guguan Town and Malu Town attacked Zhangjiachuan to destroy Ma Anliang's elite cavalry, and prepared to annihilate the enemy who may come from Jingning and Tongwei. After succeeding, he will go out of Qin. An, Dashui, ready to occupy Longxi; Jingbu Mu, a part of the northern Shaanxi militia to eliminate the enemy of Shangguan Town, tail Liu Jing attacked Longshan Town and Lianhua Town along Zhang Jiachuan, cooperated with Liu Jing to annihilate the above-mentioned enemies, and prepared to attack Tongwei.

According to Li Xiang's new deployment, the main force of the Anxi Army and the Shaanxi militia group, with the overwhelming force of thunder, chased the retreating Qing army in the northwest day and night, cut through the pass all the way, and was invincible. The five-star red flag of the Ezhou Revolutionary Army pointed out, and the people cheered and enthusiastically supported the Anxi army to advance west.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The second imperial meeting was held, and Yiqi was held hostage by the Zongshe Party and missed the meeting. At the scene, Pu Lun gave up his republican proposition, supported Pu Wei, and opposed the abdication of the Qing Emperor. However, Empress Dowager Longyu was still hesitant, and the meeting ended fruitlessly.

Prince Su Shanqi walked out of Donghua Gate without saying a word, got on the sedan chair and ran home. I saw the baby grandson supervising the people in the house who made snow lions and snow elephants in the empty field in front of the door, all of which made a face of snow.

When the old housekeeper saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a sedan chair curtain and greeted him. He smiled and said, "Sir, the Prince of Bahrain and the Prince Bintu of Mongolia are here, and there is also a foreigner..."

After listening, he didn't say much and went straight in.

As soon as Shanqi walked to the door of the flower hall, he heard a man with a strong voice and a very heavy nasal voice, "The Mongolian nation has been known for its bravery and martial arts of Genghis Khan since ancient times. Later, he was poisoned by the wonderful strategy of the Qing Dynasty and was greedy for comfort, so he became an ignorant people. However, in terms of physical courage, it still inherits its traditional characteristics and has the quality of becoming a tough elite soldier. If it is commanded, after training, it has full hope to become a strong man in the north. Secondly, the Han people living in Manchuria are also far superior to the Chinese natives because of their brave and strong demeanor due to the training of Shuobei wind and frost. If Manchuria and Mongolia are merged to consolidate their unity, its force can not only be comparable to that of China, but also fully meet the conditions for establishing a country. Japan's foothold for solving the Chinese problem is to command the Manchu and Mongolian people, take the initiative to leave China and establish an organized country.

This voice, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is Japanese. The purpose that this Japanese did not say is that once Manchuria becomes independent, it is bound to fight against China. And the resistance intensified, and the result was that Manmeng was bound to rely more and more on Japan. If we take advantage of this situation, in less than a few years, Japan will be able to ensure Manmeng with strength. The tendency of Manchuria to break away from China's fetters and build an independent country has slowly emerged. It has acted more and more fiercely because it was stimulated by the Xinhai Revolution. Moreover, Russia has been ahead of Japan, Outer Mongolia has declared its independence, and the radical Japanese can't wait.

The Japanese continued: "According to King Karaqin's opinion on Mongolia's independence, it turns out that Mongolia is not part of China. Just because he came to the Qing Dynasty as Zhengshuo, he was deeply favored by the Qing Dynasty, but Mongolia had nothing to do with China's country itself. Moreover, today, when the Qing Dynasty has perished, Mongolia will certainly be independent from China. But unfortunately, Mongolia has no strength. At this time, it must rely on Japan to support and aid to achieve independence.

Shanqi came in at this time and said absent-mindedly, "Manmeng has always been a family. Even if it is independent, it must be regarded as Zhengshuo. Mr. Kawashima, two princes, don't you think so?

When Kawashima heard the words, he bowed humbly, and the two princes and Shanqi Daqian touched their shoulders.

Bahrain and Bintu also persuaded Shanqi to participate in the plan to establish an independent country.

Kawashima's heart moved and said, "At this time, Gao Shan Gongtong, the colonel of our army, was sent to Beijing. I took the opportunity to state the plan and got approval. Colonel Takayama, Major Taga Zongzhi, Captain Song Seisuke and Captain Kimura, who will arrive, are willing to take on the task of helping Manmeng's independence together.

Shanqi smiled and said, "Let me think about this situation."

Chuandao's heart turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Ningxia Mansion has been restored. It has contacted Xin, Gan and Inner Mongolia as one. It has supported Xuantong's westward migration and temporarily planned for partial peace. Xu Tu's recovery plan has been shattered. You always say yes?"

Shanqi said vaguely, but his heart was full of shock. First, Xi'an Guangfu cut off the south road from the Qing court to the northwest. The Ningxia uprising succeeded, and the only north road traffic at that time was cut off, which effectively shook the Qing court's rule in Gansu. Chang Geng, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, said in a telegram asking for help from the Qing court: Ningxia fell, and Gansu "the treasury has only been paid for one month, and there is no emergency." If you don't get the support of the court, "the salary will be exhausted, and the soldiers will not be discouraged, and you will also be afraid that the troops will collapse"; "If you set up Gansu, you will try to recover it again in the future, and pay for the expenses, and you will stop it!" Peng Yingjia, the secretary of Ganfan, also sent the same message saying: "If you don't get help as soon as possible, there will be no troubles, and the sweetness will be worse than Shaanxi." "If there is no Gan, the new (Jiang) Yi (plough) can't be guaranteed." At this time, the Qing court was also teetering, and it was impossible to give any assistance to Chang Geng. The Qing court is already very empty and panicked. Now the situation is very favorable to the revolutionaries, and it is naturally very unfavorable to the Qing court.

Kawashima looked at Shanqi's changing face and hurriedly smiled and said, "At this time, Yuan Shikai can't help you, and the Western powers can't help you. The only thing that can help you is the Japanese Imperial Army..."

Shanqi nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."
