The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang reported the military situation to Xu Shuzheng. The people of the mixed regiment are now fluctuating, and many students are going to return to school to resume classes. They hope that the official document of the Ministry of War will be issued as soon as possible.Another big problem is the problem of expanding the number of troops, and it is hoped that it will be resolved as soon as possible.

Soldiers can solve the problem of the undersecretary of the army with just a few phone calls, but the expansion and award orders are not something he can solve. Feng Guozhang evaded and delayed Duan Qirui's appointment decision, and Xu Shuzheng felt powerless.

"Feng Huafu and Mr. Zhi have now reconciled, and the issue of mixed group expansion and rewards will take some time, but it will not be too long." Xu Shuzheng expected that Feng Guozhang's temper was not firm enough, and Duan Qirui could be tougher. will not stand up against it.Furthermore, his real intention was the Three Governors of the Yangtze River, and making things difficult for Wu Xiaoliang was nothing more than increasing his bargaining chip in his plan to protect the territory of the two rivers and the three provinces of Hubei and Hubei.

After Wu Xiaoliang heard this, he smiled and said, "So that's the case, why should Zhishuai take action to suppress it, and within two days Xiaoliang promises to disgrace the acting president."

Xu Shuzheng became curious.

Back at the No.15 mixed group in the Temple of Heaven, Wu Xiaoliang picked up the phone and asked for Xu Shichang's private residence, and a familiar female voice came to mind: "Hello—who is this?"

"it's me"

Of course Xu Zibing could hear Wu Xiaoliang's voice, and his little heart beat faster than expected.Recently it has been rumored that he led a group of people to conquer Beijing. Speaking of this young regiment leader Wu, everyone has to praise him as a hero, and she was very happy to hear that.

She is now working as a reporter for "Suntian Times", Wu Xiaoliang said helplessly: "What's so good about a Japanese newspaper?"

"What's wrong, the authorities don't dare to block their newspapers." The implication is that domestic newspapers have become the authorities' voice, and Wu Xiaoliang secretly sighed. For journalists like Xu Zibing who pursue freedom of the press, the first choice is of course foreign newspapers.

Xu Zibing then teased: "Your Duan Zhishuai, isn't he closer to the Japanese?"

Wu Xiaoliang stopped entangled with her on this topic, and straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming, which caused Xu Zibing to complain all the time. He pretended that she didn't exist when he had nothing to do, and only came to her when something happened, but he still agreed.

"This is Miss Ben's specialty, wait for the good news." After finishing speaking, Wu Xiaoliang hung up the phone angrily without waiting for an answer.

There was a hissing sound from the phone.

The next day, "Fengtian Times" took the lead in making a long report: Acting President Feng Guozhang, for his own self-interest, eliminated dissidents and attacked Wu Xiaoliang, the head of the Fifteenth Mixed Regiment who had contributed to the recovery of Beijing.As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar from all walks of life in Beijing, and various newspapers printed and reprinted it one after another, and it spread in the ancient city of Beijing within a day.

"Conquering the capital city was the achievement of establishing the country. Feng Guozhang, who was appointed as a small major general, quit. If it was left in the Qing Dynasty, he would be appointed as a marquis."

"Who says it's not? Feng Guozhang's subordinates are still attached to the rebels, and they will still be named warlord anyway."

……

For a while, Feng Guozhang's notoriety spread far and wide, and the hats of repelling dissidents and oppressing heroes were all dismissed.Engaging in the public opinion offensive is Wu Xiaoliang's forte, and he easily pushed Feng Guozhang to the forefront, and the little pawn crossing the river is the killer.

During the period of the Beiyang government, although the political situation was chaotic, most of the power holders were conservative old ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They were deeply influenced by Confucianism, and they cherished their own feathers and dared not go against public opinion.

Feng Guozhang was preparing to take over as the president, and suddenly such a scandal happened, he was caught off guard and was furious.

"Who? Who reported it all? Check it out for me, find out one family and close the other family." Feng Guozhang roared without regard for face, a good chess game was disrupted just after the game started, and he couldn't tolerate his anger.Now is the critical moment for him to plan for the Three Governors of the Yangtze River for his subordinates. When Duan Zhiquan's methods are so tricky, he can affect his whole body.As soon as the scandal broke out, Feng Guozhang was already at a disadvantage.

The attendant at the Martial Art Museum waited tremblingly for his anger to subside. Seeing Feng Guozhang calm down, he said, "President, the "Suncheon Times" is the one who started this matter, and we have nothing to do with the Japanese newspapers."

As the leader of the direct lineage, Feng Guozhang has always led the pro-Britain and the United States, and he has no good opinion of Japan, but he dare not offend these Oriental dwarfs, so it seems that he has no choice but to give up and suffer this loss.He waved to his attendant Wu Guan to signal him to go out, but the military officer then said: "There is one more thing, which is very strange."

"What's the matter?"

"The reporter from "Suntian Times" is the lady of Mrs. Xu Bu's family."

"Oh?"

The reporter who revealed that he suppressed Wu Xiaoliang was actually Xu Shichang's daughter. It is really intriguing. Xu Shichang's status as a heavyweight veteran of Beiyang is far superior to the three heroes of dragons, tigers and dogs, but he has no military power and can only survive in the cracks between the two departments. , Does this count as a statement of his?

Xu Zibing didn't expect that his report would bring confusion to his father and inadvertently offend Feng Guozhang. Duan Qirui knew that the instigator had nothing to do with him, so naturally he didn't have to admit his feelings.

Wu Xiaoliang moved his pawns across the river to solve a big problem for Duan Qirui. Duan Zhigui, his uncle, was the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army during the crusade against Zhang Xun. Empty land.How could Feng Guozhang be willing to obediently give up and throw away his lair? He transferred Li Chun, the governor of Jiangxi, to supervise Jiangsu, and ordered Wang Tingzhen, the commander of the [-]th Division, to lead his troops into Nanjing and assist Qi Xieyuan in its defense; Chen Guangyuan, the commander of the [-]th Division, was his old subordinate. He is still the governor of Hubei, so the three governors of the Yangtze River are still firmly in the hands of his immediate family.

Now, Feng Guozhang's good game of chess is full of chaos, and it is impossible for Chen Guangyuan to go to Jiangxi again in order to block everyone's mouth. This will make Duan Zhigui cheaper and become the governor of Jiangxi.As for Wu Xiaoliang, a small pawn, he felt even more remorseful because of a small loss, and hated to stamp the presidential seal on the letter of appointment.In order to appease Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui made appropriate concessions and agreed to appoint Li Chun as the commander-in-chief of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Duan Qirui succeeded in snatching the food with his dog's mouth, and the strength of the Anhui faction increased greatly.The little displeasure with Wu Xiaoliang before dissipated, and he met the head of the regiment who had made great contributions to him.

"A good person recommended by You Zheng." Duan Qirui praised the two of them in a row. He knew that his number one brain truster was too proud and sick, so he still cared about his feelings when he praised other subordinates.

Xu Shuzheng said, "Weizhong, Zhishuai has appointed you as the commander of the No.15 mixed brigade major general. From today onwards, you will be the youngest general in the country."

Wu Xiaoliang originally thought that this time he would be like a horse factory with a low rank and a high rank. Hearing that Duan Qirui wanted to appoint him as a real brigade commander, he was greatly impressed. The subordinates dare not die.

"Thank you for the promotion of the Prime Minister. I will serve the country loyally and live up to the high expectations of the Prime Minister."

Duan Qirui was very satisfied with Wu Xiaoliang's statement, and changed the subject: "The government will declare war on Germany and Austria tomorrow, Weizhong, what do you think?"

Wu Xiaoliang knew well that Lao Duan was not asking for his opinion, but a test. Lao Duan wanted to see if the man he wanted to promote was in line with his ideas.
