Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Zhang Zongchang, king of Shandong, who managed to defeat the uprising army in his territory, had no intention of appeasing the elders and folks in his jurisdiction at this time. His ambition was not to be a little Shandong emperor, but to aspire to the Central Plains, Dominate the world.

Although the youth army has established a reputation for being good at fighting in the War to Protect the Nation, in the hearts of most people in northern China, including Zhang Zongchang, Beiyang is the most powerful army in the world.And now Zhang Zongchang has easily defeated the immediate army of the strongest army in Beiyang in the Shangqiu area. Where is there any army in this world that Zhang Zongchang dare not fight?As for the story of the youth army defeating the Germans in Europe, in Zhang Zongchang's view, it was just that the Germans were rotten and rubbish. He has been getting aid from the Japanese, and now he can be said to be confident to the extreme.If it weren't for the bandits of the Sun family who took the lead in tossing around in the Yimeng Mountain area, he would have appeared in Luoyang City with an army.Then it is true that soldiers entered the Central Plains and looked down on all directions, and they were all harmed by these gangsters. Zhang Zongchang's thinking ability is really amazing.After reaching such a conclusion, the frenzied Zhang Zongchang ordered the 4000 Russian deserters in his hands to execute more than [-] "mobs" captured by him.

Then Zhang Zongchang took out more than 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in one breath at the mobilization meeting of the Zhilu Allied Forces for the Southern Expedition, and encouraged the morale of the army under his command: "As long as you monkey cubs work hard and follow this guide Shuai kills the enemy. After conquering the south, what awaits you is endless delicacies, endless silks and satins, and white and tender girls who can never sleep. You just need to kill all the men on the other side of the Yellow River, or use death to make them be honest. Kneeling in front of you, all this is not a dream. Now you tell me loudly, are you sons of bitches willing to follow the general across the Yellow River to grab money, food and territory?"

It must be said that Zhang Zongchang is a good player at mobilizing soldiers. Let him encourage the 10,000+ soldiers below the stage to surge up with enthusiasm (Wang Zhenyu would be very upset if he saw it. The largest military parade he held was only 6000 people. Zhang Zongchang This woman is even bigger than herself, hateful), raised the weapons in their hands, and shouted at Zhang Zongchang on the stage: "Grab money, grab food, grab territory!"

If Dai Jitao could be here and see this scene, he would probably sigh helplessly: "This is much more effective than my political and ideological education."

Indeed, this is the fundamental reason why Zhang Zongchang was able to rise suddenly in the late Beiyang period. Although he could not read, he succeeded in arousing the evil in his subordinates, using the most primitive human desire to drive them to kill and conquer.This is probably the last breakthrough in the Beiyang system. Although the fate of failure is still inevitable in the end, the dog-meat general Zhang Zongchang has indisputably left a strong mark in the history of the Republic of China.

And in this time and space, although a big butterfly like Wang Zhenyu came, Zhang Zongchang still rose tenaciously, and it was several years earlier than the original history.This is something Wang Zhenyu didn't expect, but it doesn't matter. For Wang Zhenyu who is determined to change the destiny of the country and the nation, a scum like Zhang Zongchang is destined to be wiped out by him. There is nothing to discuss about this.

For a while, Xuzhou became the focus of attention of all parties from the north and the south.

In the teahouses in Beijing, many old and young people even discussed the world's major issues: "Tell me, tell me, what's so good about the Republic of China? Ah? After half a year of fighting, the grandsons of the Revolutionary Party were finally settled. You see, in the third year of the Republic of China, the white wolves in Henan rose again. President Yuan spent a lot of effort to pacify the white wolves, but this In the fourth year of the Republic of China, the Orientals went to Qingdao again and occupied Shandong. Our President Yuan signed even 21 articles, and just after sending the Japanese away, he himself thought about becoming the emperor. As a result, the fifth year of the Republic of China died for a while. Battle...following this year, Prime Minister Duan, Marshal Cao, and Marshal Zhang have been making noise for a while. Go outside Beijing and have a look. It's all scorched earth. Now that I think about it, the Republic of China has never stopped for a year. There is no one year without tossing. It is still the peace of our Qing Dynasty..."

"Come on, you are like the eighth master. The foreigners in the Qing Dynasty were not less noisy. If you want me to say, it is because Yuan Gongbao himself is not in the right place, otherwise he would not have been picked up by Cai Songpo and Wang Wenzheng in the end. . .” With just such a bowl of tea, these Eight Banners men started bragging to pass the time again.

"Second Master Wu, then tell me what will happen to this great country in the future? Is it because Marshal Zhang in the north is doing his best, or is Marshal Wang in the south doing his best?"

"Who can keep it all together? Now the battle is getting bigger and bigger. I think the Republic of China is really going to die..."

"Let me tell you my masters, don't hope for chaos. The popularity of my teahouse has not been as good as every year in the past few years. If the toss continues, the business of my three generations may have to be closed," said the speaker. It is none other than Wang Lifa, the shopkeeper of Yutai Teahouse.

"Come on, shopkeeper Wang, if you fool anyone, don't fool our brothers. As for the teahouse in Qianmenlouzi, in terms of business, no one is as prosperous as shopkeeper Wang. You can count on your fingers. This year, how many teahouses are left in Qianmenlouzi? Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, we bannermen are no more farts, it’s great that you can still maintain the situation in front of you, you kind.”

"That's right, shopkeeper Wang, don't pretend that we don't know. Your business is booming now. Although there is still a tea shop in the front, there is that, that, or something in the back. By the way, the apartment. With your ingenuity, this The Republic of China is gone, and your business can still be maintained..."

Wang Lifa was the opponent of these Jing Youzi, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Yes, yes, I will ask the buddy to refill my glass of water, whether this Xuzhou is broken or not, this tea has to be drunk. . . ”

As soon as Wang Lifa walked away, several bannermen muttered again: "Have you heard that the emperor of our Qing Dynasty is going to be restored?"

"What kind of position is restored? Seeing that Zhang Zuolin's northeast beard is about to go south to calm the chaos and follow the country, how will our emperor regain his position?"

"You don't know that, I have a cousin who works as a third-class shrimp in the palace. It is said that recently this Oriental is interested in restoring our Manchus to the country..."

What these bannermen didn't notice was that not far from them, there were two inconspicuous-looking young men who were drinking tea silently while listening to them with their ears upright. . .

In the direction of Xuzhou, Zhang Zongchang is already sharpening his sword and attacking pigs and sheep.The Zhilu Allied Forces took out all their resources, a Russian mercenary brigade, four elite Fengjun cavalry brigades, plus eighteen elite infantry brigades, and three heavy artillery brigades trained and armed by Japan, all along the Jinpu line Concentrate towards Zaozhuang.These brigades were all organized according to the standard of 5000 people. Zhang Zongchang mobilized almost 13 elites, plus twelve supplementary brigades totaling 19 horses.And Xu Kun was appointed by Zhang Zongchang as the commander of Shandong security, commanding 6 horses alone to be responsible for the stability of the province.Zhang Zongchang organized his 38 brigades with a total of 19 horses into three armies. Shi Congbin, commander of the first army, Cheng Guorui, commander of the second army, and Chu Yupu, commander of the third army, are all good brothers of Zhang Zongchang. They are all gearing up to compete with the youth army in the south.

And in Beijing, Huairentang, Zhang Zuolin is holding a meeting of senior generals of the Feng Faction. Zhang Zongchang, the deputy commander of the Anhui Army and the commander-in-chief of the Zhilu Allied Forces, is naturally also present. After the meeting, he will go south to command Zhilu The Allied Forces' attack on Xuzhou.

"Xiao Kun, the man in the south is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This time you are going south to Xuzhou, you have to know what to do."

"Don't worry, Commander, this is the day we fought all the way from the northeast to Shandong from our brothers. No matter what, I, Zhang Zongchang, will bring two 10,000+ brothers from the Zhilu coalition army to fight for you, Commander. The youth army has been cleaned up, and I will push you, commander, to the throne of the emperor." The tall and tall Zhang Zongchang bluffed and shouted

Zhang Zuolin didn't seem to appreciate it: "Mom, what are you talking about, is there still an emperor now? Do you dare to have an emperor now? To be honest, our entry into the customs this time is indeed very smooth. I can't believe it went so smoothly. But none of you should think that those troops in the south are just paper. If you don’t believe it, then we will suffer a big loss in a real fight. You Zhang Xiaokun is full of confidence. I don’t believe you are a big man. I know the whole thing, why do you believe that you can win?"

"Marshal, why do you want others to destroy your own prestige? Even if the Communist youth army defeated President Yuan's army last year, wouldn't President Yuan's army be wiped out like a rabbit this year? Even if they can defeat the big powers in Europe, so what? I don’t believe it. I have 30 tigers and wolves under my hand, plus the weapons and equipment given by the Japanese. I can’t beat them. Commander, don’t you I know, the heavy artillery of the Orientals is really not bragging. The 150 caliber is much better than the 75mm one. Not to mention how good their youth army is at building fortifications. Now I am afraid that he will not play positional warfare. As long as he plays , once my heavy cannon fires, they won't even think about playing with me. Marshal, don't hesitate, you old man. If we don't take advantage of the time of his expedition to clean up people now, when they all come back, But we are the only ones to be dealt with. Commander!?"
