young marshal spring and autumn

Moved back to the front to return to Beijing, he wanted to set a fire behind Wu Peifu. On the evening of November 11, Feng Yuxiang led his army to withdraw from the front line, returned to Beijing, and launched the Beijing coup.In Beijing, Lu Zhonglin, Jiang Yuhong and Sun Yue of Feng's department joined forces and opened the city gate.

Lu Zhonglin led his troops into the city first, and joined forces with Sun Yue's No.15 mixed brigade in the city.The soldiers all wore armbands with blue cloth and white letters, which read "Swear to save the country, don't disturb the people, really love the people."The coup army divided troops to guard all important intersections, cut off traffic under martial law, and quickly occupied various ministries and offices.This "Beijing coup" was really swift and successful in one fell swoop. Cao Kun was caught and imprisoned without any prior knowledge.

Wu Peifu didn't know the sudden change in the rear. He led his staff to the Western Qing Dynasty to supervise the battle. The morale of the direct army's front line improved.At noon, Wu Peifu's Japanese adviser Okano Masujiro hurried over. He brought two telegrams and said with a trembling tone: "Commander, I have received the most urgent telegrams from Beijing and Tianjin successively. The contents are similar. There has been a big change in the city!"

Wu Peifu was taken aback. He took the telegram and said, "Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Third Army of the Rebellion Army, withdrew from the battlefield at 4 pm on the [-]th, invaded Beijing without a gun battle, and launched a coup. President Cao Kun has lost his freedom. The situation in Beijing is unknown. Great changes are brewing." The coup participants listed in the telegram are all directly related tycoons, including Feng Yuxiang, Wang Chengbin, Wang Huaiqing, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue, etc.After reading Okano's telegram, he immediately believed that there was such a possibility, because he did not trust Feng Yuxiang.

That night, Wu Peifu led the senior staff back to the headquarters, and immediately convened an emergency military meeting in the commander-in-chief's room. for change.

At midnight, Wu Peifu first transported 3000 troops to retreat to the north, and the train of the general headquarters left Langfang at 2 o'clock in the morning.The front-line military was headed by Peng Shouxin, and Wu himself took a special car from the headquarters with a regiment of guards, and galloped back in the starry night.With a heavy heart and tired body, he stayed up all night.At 4 a.m. the next day, the train arrived less than 10 miles outside Tongzhou Station.

On November 11, Feng Yuxiang held a meeting in Beiyuan to discuss how to deal with the current situation in the north.Attending the meeting were Sun Yue, Huang Yu, Wang Zhengting and others.At this meeting, Feng Yuxiang was promoted as the commander-in-chief of the National Army and the commander of the First Army, and Sun Yue was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the Second Army.In view of the fact that Sun Yat-sen had no definite news and Wu Peifu led the army to attack Yangcun, Sun Yue proposed to set up a regent cabinet.In order to express the sincerity of welcoming Sun Yat-sen in power, most of the appointed cabinet members were old revolutionary party members in the south, such as Prime Minister Huang Yu, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Finance Wang Zhengting, Chief of the National Army Li Shucheng, Chief of Staff Li Liejun, etc.The meeting decided to let Cao Kun order a truce, remove Wu Peifu from his duties, and announce his automatic abdication.

Lu Zhonglin made great contributions to the city, was promoted to division commander, and served as the commander of the Beijing Garrison, stationed in Dongdan Shuaifu Garden.Feng Yuxiang sent Lu Zhonglin and police chief Zhang Bi to lead the police and guards into Shenwumen to negotiate with Puyi in the Forbidden City, forcing Puyi and his concubines to move out of the Forbidden City and retreat to the Prince Regent's Palace.

Wu Peifu, who was at the end of the day, had no choice but to declare a truce and step down.Prior to this, the Northwest People's Army had conquered the Zhengzhou defense line, advanced into Xinxiang, and since then went straight to Baoding Mansion, the home of the direct army.Wen Quanren, commander of the Bohai Fleet of the Zhijun Army, directly hoisted a white flag at sea and handed over the entire navy to the Liaodong Bay Frontier Fleet.The direct troops in Jixian, Tianjin, Zhangyuan, and Zhengzhou were also ordered to disarm on the spot.

In this campaign, the Feng army received a total of 9 people from about 16 divisions, and wiped out nearly 3 people from the direct army on the four fronts. Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue each received more than [-] remnants.In the Republic of China, the direct lineage who had been calling the wind and rain for many years, just withdrew from the stage of history.The difference from the official history is that Wu Peifu never had the opportunity to stretch out his hand on the Chinese political stage until his death.In the central government, there is no longer any force that can stop the Feng faction from monopolizing the political situation, not even Sun Yat-sen.Zhang Zuolin rushed from Fengtian to Qinhuangdao excitedly, preparing to reorganize the government, and went into battle shirtless.

However, there are still two armies of Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue in the city. They are the biggest heroes of this rebellion, and they all take Sun Yat-sen as Gaogui.The current situation is that Feng Yuxiang's troops control the city of Beijing, and the Feng army controls the overall situation on the periphery.With the current strength of the Feng army, it is no problem to enter the city of Beijing to fight against the inferior "rebel army" to win the world, but it seems that the teacher came out of nowhere.All parties in the ruling and opposition parties are waiting to see the next move of the Fengjun. If there is a little carelessness at this time, not only the direct line that has just flattened will immediately revive, but the Anhui faction and the Kuomintang faction that are at a disadvantage may directly attack Sun Yat-sen. The flag was raised and they attacked themselves again.

Even within the Feng Clan, there is a desire to invite Sun Yat-sen as president and Zhang Zuolin as prime minister to divide political forces. For example, Guo Songling, Hu Jingyi and other old generals who responded to Sun Yat-sen's call in the early days of the [-] Revolution, and Yu Youren and a large number of important influences in various places In addition, there are the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium and other factions that Sun Yat-sen relied on for financial support, such as the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium that will have an important influence in China in the future.So on the surface, it seems that the Feng family has unlimited scenery, but the danger is unknown.One careless move, and the whole game is lost.

At this moment, the Feng faction was also intoxicated by this huge victory, and Zhang Zuolin basically believed that the Feng faction had secured the world.Just imagine, the Anhui and Zhi families of the three Beiyang factions that were once glorious have surrendered to the Feng family one after another. Which force in the world can rival itself again?Regarding Feng Yuxiang's move to close Beijing and refuse Fengjun's entry, he almost issued an order to ask Fengjun's forwards to attack.

At the critical moment, Zhang Hanqing believed that: China is currently in chaos, and if the war continues, it is inevitable that the Japanese will take advantage of the chaos and take some action.The top priority is to quickly stabilize the situation - the Feng faction has already gained an advantage in most parts of the country, and it is no longer a problem to achieve the next big victory or even win the central government.It is necessary to calm down at this moment of military victory and gain political and moral advantages.

Zhang Zuolin finally listened to the suggestions of Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, and Guo Songling, and called on all parties to go to Qinhuangdao to discuss with Sun Yat-sen, who had been transferred here earlier, to form a coalition government.In fact, all parties are paying attention to the movements of the leaders of the Feng faction. In terms of the strength of this place, any discussion without the Feng faction seems insignificant. No matter what the cabinet is formed, the Feng faction is definitely the pillar and the most powerful faction of the cabinet.All parties are concerned about whether they can get a share of the pie, how many seats they can occupy in the new cabinet, and what position they are in!
