The Republic of Heroes

However, the reversal of the situation was so fast that people began to be overwhelmed. In the seventh year of the Republic of China, on July [-], the news that Gao Fengcheng colluded with the Japanese to intercept and kill Army Major General Wu Xiaoliang spread like wildfire, and the national public opinion was in an uproar.The Beijing government immediately stated that it did not recognize the established fact that Gao Fengcheng controlled Kuanchengzi to serve as governor of Jilin.

In Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin assembled troops ready to march into Kuanchengzi and arrest Gao Fengcheng at any time.

In the provincial government office of Kuanchengzi, Jilin Province, Gao Fengcheng was in a state of despair. He was so scheming that he didn't expect that he would fall into the situation where everyone shouted and beat him like a mouse crossing the street.But he should have expected such a day when he chose to cooperate with the Japanese. Unfortunately, he was blinded by power and chose a road of no return.

The secretary hurried into the room, telegram in hand.

"Governor, Mu Leng called. The Second Mixed Brigade stationed in Mu Leng has been reversed. Someone saw brigade commander *** and Wu Xiaoliang together."

The bad news came one after another. Gao Fengcheng was already numb, but he was still angry when he heard the news. The celadon tureen in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces of porcelain.The secretary saw that the officer was so angry that he didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of bad luck, so he quietly withdrew.

"I expected that bastard Li Zhifang would rebel, but I hate that we made such a careful arrangement and ran away with that little thief Wu Weizhong." He was not reconciled.

Gao Fengcheng didn't want to be an enemy of Suidong Wu Xiaoliang, but the Japanese found him and proposed that he wanted to seize the power of Kuanchengzi, and he had the support of the Manchuria garrison. One of the conditions was that Wu Xiaoliang must be killed. In desperation, he A careful arrangement was made in Kuanchengzi, but he escaped unexpectedly.

Suddenly, the secretary opened the door and ran in again, this time he could even be described as panicked.

"Governor, something is wrong..."

Before finishing speaking, Gao Fengcheng reprimanded: "Is there any worse news now? Speak slowly, don't rush."

The secretary didn't care about being reprimanded by the chief, and still hurriedly said: "It's really a big problem. Zhang Zuoxiang, the commander of Fengtian 27th Division, has already boarded the train and headed straight for Kuanchengzi. We, how should we deal with it?"

This kind of question should not be asked by his confidential secretary, but he was too worried about his own safety in the future, so he asked in a daze.This time, however, Gao Fengcheng was as calm as usual, without any disturbance, and he didn't even reprimand the secretary for his slip of the tongue, but waved his hand wearily.

"Understood, let's go down."

The secretary looked at Gao Fengcheng anxiously, and slowly backed out, but in the end he didn't get a reply from the officer.

Gao Fengcheng smiled wryly, what else can he do, where is there room for him in the huge Jilin?

……

In Duan Qirui's private residence in Beijing, Duan Qirui has stepped down as the prime minister, and Qian Nengxun, the chief of internal affairs, has been pushed to the front to succeed the prime minister. He will continue to control the power of the Beijing government as a war supervisor.But recently, the trend of the political situation in Beijing has deviated more and more from its established track. First, the president he elected, Xu Shichang, obstructed the fight against the south. Wu Ziyu took the lead in withdrawing troops from Fujian, but could not defend himself.

Then Yang Yuting and Wu Xiaoliang robbed the weapons and ammunition purchased by Japanese loans in Qinhuangdao, resulting in a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition for the Beiyang Army in the south, which triggered an avalanche of anti-war waves, and Hunan, the source of chaos, was the first to bear the brunt. Tan Yankai Leaving Changsha once again raised the banner of the Hunanese governing Hunan, completely broke with the Hunan Governor Wang Ruxian, and organized the Hunan Army to attack all parts of Hunan.Due to lack of ammunition, Wang Ruxian had to stick to the front line of Linxiang in Changsha.

In addition, there was an unexpected incident that made Duan Qirui extremely passive. Xu Shuzheng shot and killed Lu Jianzhang, the behind-the-scenes leader and faction of the Zhili faction at the Fengjun headquarters in Tianjin. This aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the leaders of the Zhili factions, especially Cao Kun.

However, Xu Shuzheng sent a telegram accusing Lu Jianzhang of colluding with bandits in Shaanxi, Anhui and other provinces, inciting the army in order to create chaos, and recently colluding with the rebellious party in Shanghai.As an army officer, Lu did not intend to serve the country, but colluded with the rebellious party and bandits, so he was arrested and shot as usual, and his military rank was deprived of his honor, in order to clarify the law.

This shooting incident directly led to Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili who held a neutral attitude towards the southern war, completely fell to the peace faction. Duan Qirui had no choice but to agree with him as the vice president. General Wu Peifu of the Cao Department disobeyed the order and signed an armistice agreement with the southern army without authorization, and sent a telegram to the whole country, calling for an armistice.

"Youzheng, you really shouldn't have killed Lu Langzhai. This man's subordinates are all over the army. This will make countless enemies for you." Duan Qirui didn't blame Xu Shuzheng for making him miserable, but spoke out. Concerned about his future comfort.

Xu Shuzheng didn't seem to be worried about this, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Zhi is worrying too much, the dignified Chief of the Army Department, who dares to kill me?"

Seeing Xu Shuzheng's disapproval, Duan Qirui shook his head inwardly, he is honest and talented, but his sharpness is so sharp that it only arouses envy and hatred.

"When will Fengjun prepare to go south? You, the deputy commander of Fengjun, should pay more attention." Duan Qirui said this because he was worried that the front door would drive away the wolf and the back door would enter the tiger.

Xu Shuzheng replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, Zhigong, this time Fengjun Commander Yang Linge is Shuzheng's classmate, and he is also a caring person. As long as he is willing to go south with me, he will be in Zhigong's trap."

The land of China inside the pass is in chaos, and the five provinces outside the pass are also fighting hard.In Dongning County, Jilin Province, Wu Xiaoliang was not mentally prepared for the sudden victory.He never expected that ***, the brigade commander of the Jilin First Mixed Brigade stationed in Muling, would come to Dongning in person to seek cooperation.

"Brother Weizhong Mu Leng is not the ambition of a brother, and the brother is willing to give Mu Leng away." *** said with a sincere face.

Of course, Wu Xiaoliang couldn't think that *** would really give him a piece of fat for nothing, so he asked:

"Brother Zhifang is generous, but he doesn't know how Xiaoliang should repay him?"

*** is not hypocritical.

"The base of our first brigade was originally Yongji. Someone Gao took advantage of the power of the Manchurian garrison to forcibly deport us to Muling. Most of the officers and soldiers of the brothers were very angry about this, and hoped that one day they could kill us again." Go to Yongji. The first brigade does not need Brother Weizhong’s Suidong Army to send troops or money, just send a telegram to support the brothers to recover Yongji.”

Wu Xiaoliang secretly thought, this is not easy, now that Gao Fengcheng has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats, everyone is staring at the two fat pieces of Kuanchengzi and Yongji, and he expresses his support for him on this matter , which is actually a statement of alliance.
