The Republic of Heroes

The newspapers in Beijing reported the grand occasion of Xu Shuzheng personally leading an army into Outer Mongolia. Seventy large trucks drove out from Yongdingmen, circled the south city and headed north.All the media predicted that this would be an expedition without any suspense. Although the Beiyang Army lost to the powerful Japanese army, it was more than enough to deal with Outer Mongolia, which had lost the protection of Tsarist Russia.

Wu Xiaoliang looked at the newspaper sent by Sun Jiayu from Tianjin, and put the newspaper heavily on the table with envy and hatred. He also thought that this was an expedition without any suspense.Originally, in his previous life, Xu Shuzheng frightened Jebtsundamba Living Buddha and Mongolian princes without bloodshed, and sent troops to recover Tangnu Ulianghai, which was later stolen by Russia in the northwest.Because of this, many passionate young people in the previous life waved their flags and shouted for the high-spirited military action back then, applauding one after another

The strange thing is that half a month has passed, and the Beijing side has not heard any news about Xu Shuzheng and the third brigade.The dazzling aura of a military operation that had attracted much attention began to fade, and gradually a negative theory spread among the Suidong Army: the third brigade was defeated, and Xu Shuzheng fled to Jilin.

Wu Xiaoliang soon heard some rumors and scoffed at them. He believed that it was necessary to hold a general meeting to change the negative impact of such rumors on the Suidong Army.However, before the meeting was officially held, a shocking news came from Outer Mongolia. The first to bring back the news was the old-fashioned way of running business between Outer Mongolia and Suidong.

"Beiyang's army was defeated, alas! It was miserable. They were caught in a row, and all of them were beheaded by sabers. It is said that the reason why they used knives instead of guns was to save bullets."

In the tavern in Vladivostok, there were crowds of people. After hearing this old-fashioned and terrifying drunken words, the room immediately became silent, and the old-fashioned even murmured in a mysterious whisper: "President Xu was almost caught by those devils, too. God bless him to escape back to Beijing safely..."

Before the old man could finish his sentence, he fell into a drunken stupor, and everyone hissed, naturally they all took it as the drunken words of the old man running the business.But who knows, more and more running businessmen insist on the same word, and the news of the defeat of Outer Mongolia finally attracted the attention of the Suidong Army.

This information was first sent to Fang Qidao's desk. At first he also thought it was very ridiculous. How could the dignified Beiyang elite be defeated in Outer Mongolia? But a few days later, Chen Xiuyan sent a telegram from Mu Leng. The army was defeated, and a large number of routs fled into the Fengtian territory, but Zhang Zuolin seemed to deliberately block the news, so the Beiyang government is still kept in the dark.Due to Chen Xiuyan's proximity to the water, she still smelled clues from the strict blockade of the Feng Clan.

After hearing Fang Qidao's report, Wu Xiaoliang's first reaction was that this was impossible, but seeing Fang Qidao's serious look, his heart gradually sank to the bottom. Could it be that Xu Shuzheng was really defeated?

Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang was still in disbelief, Fang Qidao began to report all the information he had collected.

"In addition to the way of running a business, the information sent by Brother Zhongwu is very important. This has been repeatedly confirmed by him. There is no mistake. All signs clearly show that President Xu has lost!"

Wu Xiaoliang was already in a state of disarray at the moment. It wasn't that he didn't believe that Xu Shuzheng was defeated. It was precisely because he also believed that Xu Shuzheng was more vicious than good, which made his heart colder. Serious deviations occurred, and even the outcome of such an important historical event underwent a reversible change. The battle to regain Outer Mongolia, which had no suspense and sure chance of winning, was defeated, and it seemed to be a very tragic defeat.

"How did you lose? How did you lose?"

Wu Xiaoliang murmured to himself, Fang Qidao had never seen Wu Xiaoliang lost his soul in such a gaffe, and comforted him:

"Brother Weizhong, these are just our guesses after all, and the official statement of the Beiyang government will ultimately be the main focus."

Fang Qidao's comfort was weak, and what he was waiting for in the end was the official confirmation from the Beiyang government. Wu Xiaoliang's heart was like a mirror. He gradually recovered from the shock of knowing that history had changed at the beginning, and began to worry about Xu Shuzheng's situation again. An Wei, this President Xu who is also a teacher and friend to him, although the official reputation is not good, narrow-minded, and the reputation of vengeance spreads all over the country, but in Wu Xiaoliang's heart, Xu Shuzheng's true colors in this life have overturned what was left in his mind in his previous life In my impression, he is an old and passionate young man with a touch of cynicism, everything goes straight like a cannonball, and the slightest dissatisfaction will explode like a cannonball.

But Xu Shuzheng was lucky. Duan Qirui was always protecting his neck with both hands. It was hard to imagine how worrisome Xu's future in the Beiyang government would be if Duan Qirui lost power.It is also for this reason that he became the wronged soul under Feng Yuxiang's gun.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoliang was overjoyed again. Since even such a major historical event as the recovery of Outer Mongolia had changed, could Xu Shuzheng not have to die? Looking a little further, could the September [-]th incident not have happened? Woolen cloth?

If so, isn't this a good thing?Wu Xiaoliang suddenly became excited, just now he was at a loss due to the change in the historical process, and disappeared without a trace.

Well, Suidong Army, it's your turn!

On October 21, the seventh year of the Republic of China, news of Xu Shuzheng's defeat in Outer Mongolia suddenly broke out in major newspapers in Beijing. The whole country was in an uproar. Angry students rushed to the streets to petition for World War I. This greatly surprised the Prime Minister Duan. Qi Rui's expectation was originally to prevent the students from marching against him, but now the students' posture seems to be in solidarity with him.In fact, he was even a little desperate after getting the news. Sooner or later, the betrayal of Jinpu Road would be exposed. If he didn’t make a decent achievement, he might lose face by then, and he might even end up being beaten like President Yuan. .

Duan Qirui decided to take advantage of this opportunity, went out of the Prime Minister's Office and took to the streets to talk to the students.

"Prime Minister, please allow us to take up arms, fight for the country, avenge the dead compatriots, and take back our land!"

Some student representatives saw the Prime Minister personally coming to cheer up the students, so they immediately made a petition.His petition received an enthusiastic response from the students.

"Avenge your compatriots and regain lost ground!"

The sound of shouting slogans rang out instantly, Duan Qirui nodded and sighed secretly, the morale is good!He cleared his throat, raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and the entire long street fell silent.

"Students, classmates, I am very moved and gratified by your enthusiasm for serving the country. You have made me think of Ban Dingyuan! However, your most important task now is to learn cultural knowledge and serve the country and the future The nation contributes strength, and fighting is the responsibility of the soldiers. Although they are defeated, I will still send our Beiyang elite, and here I assure everyone that the Beiyang army will never return until it breaks through Outer Mongolia!"

"Excuse me, Prime Minister, who do you plan to send?"

Duan Qirui's eyes suddenly became deep, staring towards the northeast.
