The Republic of Heroes

On December [-], the sixth year of the Republic of China, Wu Xiaoliang received an order from the Ministry of the Army, ordering the Fourth Mixed Brigade to return to Beijing before January.This order made everyone baffled and had a bad premonition.

Fang Qidao took a picture of the telegram on the conference table of the headquarters, "What does the Ministry of the Army mean? Didn't it send the wrong telegram? Weizhong is about to take over the post of Governor of Hunan. Will we be transferred away and let him be the bare commander?"

"I'm afraid that's not what it means..." Fu Zuoyi looked thoughtfully at Wu Xiaoliang who was sitting on the chair, but hesitated to speak.

From this telegram, everyone has already smelled something unusual. First, the Central Committee is very dissatisfied with Wu Xiaoliang’s private operation of Governor Xiang, and has lost trust in him, and let him be the military governor of this polished commander. Second, the Central Committee does not want to Let Wu Xiaoliang be the governor of Hunan, and there is already another candidate.

Wu Xiaoliang was almost certain that the central government of Beijing had chosen someone else for the post of governor of Hunan, which made him feel deeply frustrated. This was the first time that the development of the situation completely deviated from the track he expected.

While the three were worried, the orderly sent a second telegram.

"Read!"

"President Jun ordered that after Wu Xiaoliang, the commander of the [-]th Mixed Brigade, and the new warlord hand over and change defenses, the squadron will return to Beijing immediately for another appointment."

The orderly was a little dumbfounded after reading the telegram.

The mystery was finally revealed, the central government's preferred military governor was indeed not Wu Xiaoliang.

Fu Zuoyi couldn't help cursing: "Damn, our brothers beat people to death in front, but let outsiders take advantage of it."

"Duan Zhishuai is too petty, isn't he just a warlord? Weizhong conquered Hunan and made great contributions to him. Are you going to take it away with a word?" Fang Qidao looked unwilling and pointed the finger at Duan Qirui .

Wu Xiaoliang stabilized his mind, but inexplicably remembered Zhang Juzheng, a famous figure of the generation, who participated in the provincial examination at the age of 13. The examiner Gu Lin deliberately knocked him out of the list, in order to let him be honed more and become a master.Could it be that some people in the central government in Beijing also want to be tempered?Please, I am not that good material, so I don't need to grind it like this.

This idea flashed by, and I had guessed the general situation of the Beijing central government in my mind.

"This should not be Zhishuai's original intention. Now the court has turned from a secret fight to an open one. It is even worse than when President Li was in power. Feng Huafu is holding back, so what can we do?"

"When Weizhong talked about the dispute between the government and the court, I remembered that when you were the brigade commander, Feng Huafu was behind the scenes." Fu Zuoyi interjected.

Fang Qidao was a little annoyed, and said bitterly: "Weizhong, you offended him severely last time, it's strange that you don't take advantage of the opportunity of hitting the door now."

Wu Xiaoliang knew that Feng Guozhang, the president, was extremely useless, so he was inevitably distorted and perverted in his heart. This matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.Rubbing his temples, he let out a long breath and said, "It's meaningless to discuss who is the bad guy right now, and the answer will be revealed after returning to Beijing. At present, there are two urgent tasks: first, immediately find out who is in charge of Hunan; second, prepare the army immediately, Be prepared for any eventuality at any time. If this news is revealed, there will inevitably be people with ulterior motives ready to move."

During the discussion, Fu Liangzuo came unexpectedly, walked in and said, "Weizhong, there has been a change in the candidate for Governor of Hunan."

Fang Qidao never had a good impression of this old Beiyang, so he interrupted: "I already knew that the fourth mixed brigade will soon return to Beijing."

The outgoing Governor of Hunan was not angry when he was robbed, but asked, "Do you know who is taking over as the Governor of Hunan?"

Wu Xiaoliang got up and helped Fu Liangzuo to take his seat. As a junior, etiquette is a must. Hearing his question, he said, "Master Qing, give me advice."

Fu Liangzuo was very satisfied with Wu Xiaoliang's attitude, and said with a smile, "You are old acquaintances."

"Could it be him?" Wu Xiaoliang lost his voice.

"Who else but him?" Fu Liangzuo asked back.

Fang Qidao became anxious: "Stop playing charades, who the hell is it?"

Fu Zuoyi sighed: "Who else can there be besides Wang Dachou?"

The mystery was revealed, and the successor of the Hunan Warlord was Wang Ruxian, the former principal of Baoding Military Academy and the current commander of Beiyang Eighth Division.

Fu Liangzuo smiled wryly: "The gods fight, but this Wang Shaofu took advantage of it."

"Shuai Qing, why did the gods fight?" Wu Xiaoliang was very interested in these high-level secrets. Fu Liangzuo's connections in the Beiyang government were intricate, and he must have more information than himself.

"This is no longer a secret, and it will be known to everyone in the world in a few days. Duan Zhiquan did intend to let you serve as the governor of Hunan, and Deputy Chief Xu also strongly supported it, but Feng Huafu didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he refused to die Sealed, and finally ran away in anger, ready to return to Nanjing..."

"what?"

Speaking of this, everyone shouted at the same time. They didn't expect the incident to be so big that even the president left.

"It's better for Duan Zhiquan to be ruthless, and send troops to intercept him. Otherwise, Feng Huafu's return to Nanjing will be like letting the dragon return to the sea and let the tiger return to the mountain. Although he is forced to return to Beijing, your position as the military governor will also be lost."

Wu Xiaoliang said worriedly: "Unexpectedly, the conflict between the government and court has intensified to such an extent, it is not a blessing for the country."

Fu Liangzuo snorted coldly: "The rain is about to come. Maybe both sides will be hurt, and Beiyang will be devastated. Weizhong, I am here to inform you of these trends, so I can make preparations early. The Governor's Mansion is still waiting for me to deal with it." For the handover, let's take a step first and say goodbye!"

Wu Xiaoliang sent Fu Liangzuo away, and the messenger came again.

"Report to the brigade commander, Deputy Commander Xu telegram."

"Quickly read!" Xu Shuzheng called at this time, he would never just gossip, there must be something important.

"My brother in Weizhong, you are the governor of Hunan, and Zhigong has repeatedly fought for it, but Feng Huafu is in the way. I hope you don't care about temporary gains and losses. Today, the Northwest Frontier Defense Preparatory Office was first established, and my brother intends to let my brother take charge of routine affairs..."

Hearing this, the depression in Wu Xiaoliang's heart was swept away.What department is the Northwest Frontier Defense Preparatory Office?In his previous life, Xu Shuzheng relied on this place to recover Mongolia. This is a great shortage of military power and financial power.If Wu Xiaoliang had to choose between regaining Mongolia and being the governor of Hunan, he would choose the former without hesitation.

"It's a good thing, a great thing, and it must be celebrated. What Lao Shizi is the governor of Hunan, even if I invite me to do it now, I won't do it."

Both Fu Zuoyi and Fang Qidao stared dumbfounded at the dancing Wu Xiaoliang, isn't he just presiding over some preparatory office?Is it worth the ecstasy?Could it be that he was greatly stimulated today and became insane?Thinking of this, Fang Qidao hurried to touch Wu Xiaoliang's forehead.

The current civil strife in Russia, the mess of Soviet Russia and Belarus, is a great opportunity to regain lost ground. If he is allowed to preside over the Northwest Frontier Defense Preparatory Office, it may not only recover Mongolia, but also kill Baikal and approach Siberia.
