Beiyang reactionaries

So Zhu Peide said directly: "Duan Xun is more powerful and powerful than Duan Qirui when he took over Beijing this time. Except for a few provinces on the eastern coast, as well as Xinjiang and the Northeast, other places It is under his control. Now Li Jishen's large army has entered Guangdong, with 8 to [-] people. Can the Cantonese Army stop it? Can Lu Rongting stop it? Don't say they are mortal enemies, even if the two of them work together, they can stop Li Jishen's attack Troops? Even if we can stop Li Jishen's troops, who can stop the Wan Xuancai troops pouring in from Jiangxi? Two sides attack, the entire Guangdong troops combined can't stop them. Our teachers and classmates are all in the section I think the designation of the border guards is acceptable."

What Zhu Peide said is very realistic.

The troops stationed in Guangdong and Yunnan have been displaced in recent years. It is too funny to say that they believe in faith.What they have done in Guangdong these years is actually a warlord force.Swinging left and right, both sides have a source, is to survive.

Since he was able to take refuge in Sun Yat-sen, Lu Rongting, and the Cantonese Army when Lu Rongting was at a disadvantage, so what if he took refuge in Duan Xun again?

Survival comes first.

None of the others spoke.Because what Zhu Peide said is very realistic, but everyone still needs to save face.Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Shengtao sighed and said, "The general situation is like this, how can manpower change it?"

The meaning is clear.

The others didn't speak, but they all nodded.Now that the situation has developed like this, a small group of less than [-] people stationed in Guangdong and Yunnan has no choice.Either agree to Li Jishen, or fight with his old classmates.

"If everyone agrees, I will write back to Li Jishen."

301 Declaration

"General, Ma Lianjia, Governor of Anhui, and Li Houji, Governor of Fujian, issued a statement to support the crusade against Cao Kun and demand that Cao Kun step down."

Warlords are all chameleons, they fall wherever the wind blows.

This is the characteristic of warlords.

Since Duan Xun's troops defeated Wu Peifu's [-]rd Division, the situation has become very clear.Cao Kun's frontline troops have been defeated.Several troops that went south to attack Xingtai were bombarded indiscriminately by Duan Xun's aviation team. In addition, Liu Xiang led three divisions to attack fiercely. As a result, Cao Kun's troops were defeated across the board, suffered heavy losses, and even lost their combat effectiveness. .Baoding in Zhili is already under the lead of Duan Xun's troops.It is estimated that Baoding will also fall into the hands of Duan Xun within one or two days.As long as Baoding falls, the blow to Cao Kun will be fatal.Because Baoding has always been Cao Kun's lair, and here is Cao Kun's ruling center.The loss of Baoding indicated that Cao Kun had completely failed.

As well as daimyo, Yanzhou in Shandong has already fallen one after another.

Morale is gone.

Cao Kun could no longer control the troops on the front line.When the news of Wu Peifu's defeat came, the frontline troops either retreated or collapsed, and many troops were even ready to surrender.Daming and Yanzhou did not fight much, and Duan Xun's troops took over these places very smoothly, gathering the routs and scattered soldiers of Cao Kun's troops along the way.In a short time the situation has become very clear.

At this time, it is all grass.

Ma Lianjia, who had just become the governor of Anhui, and Li Houji, the governor of Fujian who had defected to Cao Kun before, were originally inclined to the direct line before the war between Zhiwan and Anhui.Although they think that the Anhui faction is very strong, they don't think that the Anhui faction will be able to win.And they all want to get the most benefits from both sides during the war between Zhiwan and Anhui.But now seeing the Anhui faction's victory, they immediately denounced Cao Kun and immediately turned to the Anhui faction.Because everyone already understands that the battle has been decided.If you don't express your opinion immediately at this time, what will happen in the future?

"Hmph, a bunch of weeds."

Duan Xun looked at the telegrams that Ma Lianjia and Li Houji denounced Cao Kun and wanted to join the bandit army, and still snorted coldly on the table.These two bastards turned against each other before the outbreak of the Zhiwan War, and now they want to join them again.

It really is shameless.

But he still said: "A group of small shrimps, don't worry about them. Now concentrate on solving Cao Kun's troops, and take Zhili and Shandong as soon as possible. And mobilize all other troops that can be mobilized, and try to defeat Fengjun for me. Wait for us to control After Beijing, deal with them one by one."

"Then do you want to respond to their telegram?"

"Let them send representatives to Wuchang for a meeting to discuss what will happen after defeating Cao Kun."

"Yes."

Although Duan Xun looked down on them, the current situation should not offend them too much, and it is necessary to give them a comfort.After all, even if Cao Kun is defeated, there are still countless warlords in the country.For example, Duan Xun's current ally, Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang, will soon control the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions and become a big boss with 10,000+ troops in his hands.Then there are Ma Lianjia, the governor of Anhui, Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang, as well as those large and small warlords in Guangdong and the Hunan Army troops in Hunan.

There is also Fengjun Zhang Zuolin who Duan Xun is most concerned about.

These troops add up to 30 to [-] people, which is still not to be underestimated.

Of course, Cao Kun should not be underestimated.It's not about Cao Kun himself, but Cao Kun's army is currently defeated across the board, but after all, Cao Kun has an army of nearly 20 people.How to annex them and how to reorganize them is also a big problem.

In other words, even if Duan Xun controls Beijing, the future situation is not so optimistic.So many warlords need to be solved one by one, which is not something that can be done overnight.

At this juncture, stabilize them first, and don't let them jump over the wall in a hurry.Although Ma Lianjia and Li Houji are poor in strength, they can also organize tens of thousands of troops.Now Duan Xun doesn't have the energy to deal with them.

"Teacher, teacher."

While Duan Xun and Yang Jie were talking, Xu Yongchang hurried to Duan Xun's side and said, "Rehe battle report. Zhang Zuolin's troops tore through the Rehe line of defense, and some troops rushed through Rehe."

"Who? Zhang Zuolin?"

"Yes. Zhang Zuoxiang concentrated about 2 troops from the Feng army for a frontal attack, plus two cavalry mixed brigades from Zhili's retreating cavalry group to attack on the flanks. Even Fengtian had two infantry mixed brigades coming to support them. The Rehe defense line was opened. Although the troops quickly regained their positions and re-completed the defense line, Zhang Zuolin ran away. About 1 infantry troops and five or six thousand cavalry troops entered Fengtian from Rehe."

Duan Xun frowned.

damn it.

Originally, they wanted to keep Zhang Zuolin firmly in the customs, prevent him from going back, and then solve the Northeast issue.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin still ran out.Zhang Zuolin returned to the Northeast, so it is not so easy to solve Zhang Zuolin.

"What about the other Fengjun troops?"

"The Fengjun troops in Shandong have returned to Fengtian from Shanhaiguan. The other troops in the Chahar and Rehe areas basically can't escape, and they are all surrounded by our troops."

"it is good."

Although Zhang Zuolin is a bit regretful that he ran away, overall it is still very good.Zhang Zuolin brought more than 12 troops into the customs this time, and about 4 troops were able to return to Fengtian.

With Li Yunlong and the others in Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin's Feng army lost nearly 20 troops this time.The Feng army originally had less than 10 troops, but this time it lost about [-] people, which means it lost more than half of its troops, and its strength was greatly reduced.

And now Duan Xun has controlled Heilongjiang, and even the northern part of Jilin is also under the control of Duan Xun's troops.How to say Zhang Zuolin's strength has also dropped a lot, and the difficulty of solving the Northeast issue will be much reduced in the future.

"Send a report to Shang Zhen and ask him to deal with the Fengjun troops as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Bo Yu."

"General."

"Let everyone come to a meeting to study the next plan."

"Yes."

…………

"Cichen (Xu Yongchang) just introduced the current frontline situation to everyone. Many people in Cao Kun's frontline troops have chosen to surrender. Zheng Shiqi's fifth division and Yang Qingchen's ninth division in Shandong have surrendered one after another. Only Xiao Yaonan's No.20 Fifth Division is still hesitating, but they can't fight alone for long. The overall situation in Shandong has been determined. Here in Zhili, Yan Xiangwen's No.20 Division and Zhang Fulai's No.20 Fourth Division have contacted us to discuss Surrender matters. Wang Chengbin's No.20 Third Division and Peng Shouxin's No.14 Mixed Brigade have no combat effectiveness."

Cao Kun's troops also surrendered one after another.

In addition to the reason why the morale of their troops plummeted after Wu Peifu's defeat, there is also a large number of former Anhui troops in Cao Kun's troops.After the victory in the Zhiwan War last year, Cao Kun reorganized [-] Duan Qirui's troops.Although Cao Kun reorganized them, you can't eliminate all the officers who were not able to follow the original Duan Qirui.

I can't usually see it.

When the situation is unfavorable, the officers of these former Anhui troops will shake the morale of the army.One by one, they began to surrender to Duan Xun's troops. After all, everyone was from the Anhui Department.Especially the troops on the Shandong side.

Shandong has always been the territory of the Anhui Department, so most of the troops in Shandong are from the original Anhui Department.

Surrender in great numbers.

Forty to fifty thousand troops surrendered after a short time.No one can stop this situation.
