Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Qi Xieyuan, who was in Shanghai, fell down on the large sofa after receiving the news that Feng Jingtao, the major general of the first division, and Cao Jiahua, the lieutenant general of the second division, had left the field by telegram.

What kind of trick is Yang Wei playing?

From Bai Lu's mouth, Qi Xieyuan has heard all about Yang Wei's dealings with Zhao Jinzhong, Feng Jingtao, and Cao Jiahua. The rebel party has been defeated, and the "rebel" army has also been defeated. Yang Wei even personally sent a telegram inviting Qi Xieyuan to return. Nanjing was reinstated, but Qi Xieyuan was not happy at all.

Zhao Jinzhong, Cao Jiahua, and Feng Jingtao are Qi Xieyuan's most trusted confidants, and they have all been crusaded by Yang Wei. Although they are for Qi Xieyuan's suppression of bandits and chaos, what is the difference between the current Qi Xieyuan and the bare-handed commander?Qi Xieyuan, who suffers from congenital suspicion, finds it hard to believe that Yang Wei would be so kind, and give Qi Xieyuan the benefit of being delivered to his door for nothing.

Being able to suppress and wipe out Qi Xieyuan's main force in one fell swoop, it can be seen that Yang Wei's strength is sufficient to replace Qi Xieyuan. Qi Xieyuan couldn't help but think that Yang Wei's invitation to return to Nanjing to resume his post might be due to another conspiracy. Anyway, Cao Jiahua and Feng Jingtao have been resolved. Inviting myself to return to Nanjing is likely to be a trap. I want to lure myself to Nanjing and solve it together.Blood quenching mountains and rivers 185

Thinking of this, Qi Xieyuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, thinking about it from dawn to dark, and finally made a last resort decision.

Although there is never too much money, Qi Xieyuan has made a lot of money. Now that the current situation is turbulent and the economy is difficult, exchanging his own life for money is of course not a good deal. No matter how much money you spend but you don't spend your life, isn't it just going to die alone in the end?

What's more, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army went straight to Beijing. With Qi Xieyuan's strength, trying to fight the Northern Expeditionary Army was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Qi Xieyuan still had this self-knowledge.

In line with the principle that "life" is the most important thing, although Qi Xieyuan was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to make a bad decision. After Cao Jiahua and Feng Jingtao went to the field by telegram, Qi Xieyuan immediately issued a telegram, declaring that he was old and unwell, and voluntarily gave up the warlord post.

Not long after the news of Qi Xieyuan electrifying his resignation was released, the Beiyang "government" was shocked. Even Qi Xieyuan electrified his resignation, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were truly leaderless. Although there were still some small warlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they only dared to The wandering soldiers who show off their power to the people are scattered and brave, and the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang are like a loose sand. If Jiangsu and Zhejiang are occupied by the Northern Expedition, then the Feng faction entrenched in the three eastern provinces will lose their military barrier, and the base camp will be directly exposed to the guns of the Northern Expedition. .

Fortunately, in the eyes of the Beiyang "government", Hangzhou still has a chess piece, but it is still a powerful chess piece, and that is Yang Wei, the commander of the Hangzhou garrison, but he has never dealt with Yang Wei before. I don't know much about personality.

Yang Wei is a powerful chess piece, but it is also a dangerous move. Judging from the previous actions, Qi Xieyuan, Cao Jiahua, and Feng Jingtao's power-up and down-field are all inseparable from Yang Wei. With Yang Wei's strength, even if he does not take refuge in The Beiyang "government" is absolutely qualified to form its own faction.

Especially after Qi Xieyuan also electrified and left the field, Yang Wei immediately began a large-scale army reorganization, taking all the troops of Cao Jiahua and Feng Jingtao into his pocket, and reorganized his troops into one army, with three divisions and two brigades under his jurisdiction, as well as a gendarmerie regiment.

Yang Wei's army reorganization action undoubtedly made the Beiyang "government" see Yang Wei's strength. It is very likely that it is an act of self-selling and boasting, and it is very likely that it is planning to join the Beiyang "government" and exchange strength for an official position.

After discussion, the Beiyang "government" immediately issued an appointment to Yang Wei, ordering him to be the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They would rather designate the entire area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang as Yang Wei's territory, and only hope that Yang Wei can exert his strength and block the Northern Expeditionary Army to the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition to the Beiyang "government", several meetings were held within the Northern Expedition Army, and the content naturally revolved around Yang Wei.

It was also shocking news for the Northern Expeditionary Army that Qi Xieyuan electrified and left the field. The results of the Northern Expeditionary Army's analysis of the forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were also the same as the Beiyang "government". Yang Wei became the only enemy that was difficult to conquer, but for the Northern Expeditionary Army, Yang Wei They are both enemies and friends, and the one who decides their position is the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Chiang Kai-shek was sitting in front of the conference table, his sharp eyes swept over each army commander one by one. They had different expressions on their faces, and they were all thinking about the decision to incorporate Yang Wei.

This meeting is different from the previous ones. The status of Yang Wei is not ordinary now. Yang Wei after the reorganization of the army is absolutely capable of being on an equal footing with every army commander sitting here. They could all feel that, but it was precisely because of this that they couldn't decide whether to include Yang Wei.

Most of the army commanders sitting here are direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek, but Yang Wei is what they call "Ye Luzi". After being recruited, whether this Ye Luzi can obey the commander's command and arrangement is the second. Will he follow them? Chiang Kai-shek's army commanders in the Southern and Northern Wars were the most concerned issue for them. Since Yang Wei was able to wipe out Feng Jingtao and Cao Jiahua's troops, it was uncertain whether he would attack them.

But Chiang Kai-shek's thinking seems to be inconsistent with them. The letter sent by Yang Wei is still on the top of the stack of letters on Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and he will look at it when he has nothing to do.Although Chiang Kai-shek's cautious character is not interested in Yang Wei's "heartfelt words" and "loyalty", but if he does not include them, Chiang Kai-shek is really reluctant to let such talents be lost.

Although everyone had the same thoughts, no one spoke up to refute Chiang Kai-shek first.

The atmosphere of silence was very depressing, Tang Shengzhi finally couldn't help but speak first: "Commander-in-Chief, if a black sheep like Yang Wei is included in the Northern Expedition Army, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to serve the country, but it will disturb the morale of the army. , absolutely impossible!"

Chiang Kai-shek pursed his lips and nodded, "Commander Tang is right. Regarding Yang Wei's personality, I believe that Commander Tang, who had fought against Yang Wei, knows best."

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly mentioned the confrontation between Tang Shengzhi and Yang Wei in the story again, which made Tang Shengzhi very embarrassed. At the same time, it also made everyone feel Chiang Kai-shek's determination to recruit Yang Wei, and everyone immediately kept silent.Looking at the crowd, Chiang Kai-shek felt complacent, frowned and continued in embarrassment: "It's just that if Yang Wei is not included, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas will not be subdued. Who is willing to take the initiative to ask for orders to fight against Yang Wei?"

This proposal made the heads of several army commanders who were afraid to respond even deeper. Last time Tang Shengzhi led the four armies of the First Army, Fourth Army, Seventh Army, and Eighth Army, and they were unable to attack Yang Wei. This time, Yang Wei's strength increased even more. In order to preserve his strength, how could the several army commanders take the initiative to touch Yang Wei's nail again?
