Chapter 170 169. Feng Jun entered the customs to help straight

On July 10, 9, Cao Kun called the Beijing Mission, asking them to pay attention to the fact that Japan secretly assisted Duan.The United States, Britain, and France oppressed the Japanese minister to express their attitude. On the 14th, the Japanese minister was forced to issue a declaration, expressing that he would never help Duan. On July 9, Zhang Zuolin returned to Shenyang from Junliang City. On July 10, he sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, urging Duan not to protect Xu Shuzheng. The telegram said: "Duan Supervisor Jun Jian: My supervisor is open and upright, respected both at home and abroad. I only use two or three renegades, and my friends are traitors. I listen to them and listen to them. I don't hesitate to collect the grievances of the world in order to pursue my own selfishness. There is a commotion in the country, and the wrath of women and children is common. When Xu Shuzheng was dismissed from office, it was a common practice for the government to employ people in administration, but Ruo's predecessors made false rumors and blamed Zuolin. Recently, he rushed to the rank of Chong in the heat of the summer. This is to repay the sincerity of gratitude. I hope that my supervision will be eternal. Hero, don't be deceived by two or three traitors, so as not to be the second in Xiangcheng. What people dare not say, Zuolin said with tears. Those who thought they were loyal to my supervisor were deep and exhausted, but those of the other generation On the contrary, he thinks that he is betraying his heart, and this is something that Lin can't understand. Now that the provinces are suffering from natural disasters, and the people are in dire straits, only those who are superior to the people will pay them well. How can they start another war and cause disasters for the people? What's your heart? Can you just sit back and watch? And this time in Beijing, I learned that the traitors have plotted to harm our three provinces. All kinds of plots have been disclosed to the whole country. I swear that I will personally lead my troops to eradicate this obstacle that has plagued the country, so as to relieve the downfall of our people, and then I will apologize to the President and before I supervise it, to thank the world. Zuo Lin kowtow."

At the same time, Zhang Zuolin announced that he would send troops into the customs, and electrify the whole country: "Jie Zuolin entered the capital under the order of the President. His original ambition of patriotism and protecting the people, and his concern for peaceful people and peace of mind, he braved the heat and went on an expedition. He ran with all his strength....Nothing is like my tears, but people are deaf to their ears." , There are difficult situations that cannot be exhausted by Chu Mo. Later, the situation became more and more urgent, and dangers abounded. It is said that the five insides are burning, and there is no way out. As a last resort, I have to go to the road in the starry night to find a way to save me. But when I arrived at Fengyuan, I heard that there was going to be a war between the capital and Baoding, and the refugees from Beijing to Tianjin were already on the way. Looking sideways to the west, I can't bear to live with anger.... Since the reform of the national system, wars have been everywhere, disasters and apologies have been frequent, the country is on the verge of danger, and the people are dying. Now there are floods in Zhejiang, and there are floods in Su. Rice shortages, Zhi, Yu, Lu, and Fengchi lands are thousands of miles away, natural disasters are warning, and the people are in dire straits. If there is a little bit of support, how can we start the army again, and harm the people without telling me. What's more, the capital is important, the battlefield is so crowded, and the foundation is shaken. How can the country stand? ?As for the Beijing-Feng Railway, the relationship between the treaty, if there is any danger, it will be a branch. Last year, when we assisted Hunan and Hubei, the Feng army was still stationed in Tongluo. If the traffic is blocked, it will definitely cut off our assistance. Zuolin took my head of state, defended our merchants and people, kept our routes, and rescued our army. He was really forced to stay here. Willing to be cited as a fellow robe; those who dare to resist us shall be regarded as public enemies. Wherever the army arrives, the demon flames will be destroyed, the discipline is strict, and the autumn will not be violated. This heart. Respectfully report to Hainei, Fuwei Public Prosecution. Zhang Zuolin knocks."

On July 11, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to Cao Kun, saying that he had sent the 28th Division to enter the pass first, and that the Fengjun in the pass had sent Zhang Jinghui as its commander.He estimated that there were 70,000 to 80,000 Fengzhi coalition forces in the pass, which could cope with the war on the east and west fronts.He also assured Cao Kun: "I am a close friend of flesh and blood. At this critical moment of life and death, we must do our best to help." The biggest reason for Zhang Zuolin to send troops into the customs was to uncover the subversive activities of the Anhui clique in the three eastern provinces. On July 16 and 17, he published two telegrams:

Yi Dian said: "All newspapers have learned that the prisoner Yao Buying and others in Fengzhou confessed to being instigated by Zeng Yunpei and others, and was appointed by the Third Army of the National Army to recruit bandits and disrupt the local area. The case was recorded by Zuolin. Investigation. According to the confession of the gangsters, if there are not many recruits, they will disturb the law and order in the Dongqing Road area. The Dongqing Railway is a Sino-Russian hub, which is related to the lives and property of outsiders. Management and protection authority, according to the charter, has a clue. It's a conspiracy to expose, and it wants to disturb the road defense. I don't know what kind of enmity or hatred the traitor party has with the people of the three provinces and foreigners living abroad, but I would rather endure it. Now fortunately Invite God to bless, the gangsters will be arrested, and the masterminds will return to the capital and occupy the political power. This time, a volunteer teacher will be raised to support the head of state, crusade against the traitors, and vent this public anger for the local people. Life and property, use the electricity again to pay the bills. Zhang Zuolin, Bao Guiqing, and Sun Liechen kowtow."

Er Dianyun: "All newspapers have learned from the investigation: Yao Buying and other thirteen people sent from Beijing were detected by the provincial government. They confessed that they were appointed by Zeng Yunpei and others, and were appointed by the Third Army of the Dingguo Army. They gave Dayang 120,000 yuan to come to Dongdong. The province recruited bandits to disturb the eastern province in the mountains or along the Middle East route, making the Feng army busy and restraining the Feng province's troops. According to Zeng Yunpei, if the funds are insufficient, they will be taken by Harbin Suibei Muzhi Company, regardless of how much. The company It was opened by Zeng Yunpei, and he said that the details of the matter had been discussed with Xu Youzheng, and he agreed to Duan’s supervisor’s intention, and decided to do so. Yao Buying also thought that the supervisor made a living, and all plans were disclosed in detail. Yao Buying was the dean of Dali, Yao Zhenzhi My nephew, Yao Zhen, also participated in the meeting. After the crime was committed, I made a detailed inquiry with the supervisor of the emergency department, and it was reported that there was nothing wrong with it. The supervisor has always been bright and has a world vision. The evidence clearly shows that if it is not the instigation of a traitor, where did you get the huge sum of money. The president of Dali is the highest legal authority, but he actually pre-planned this conspiracy. How can the future of the country be imagined? Zuolin's entry into the capital this time is very important to the traitor's plan, Various plans for Tuanwan, Tusu, Jiangxi, Henan, and Hubei have been fully detailed. Three to Tuanhe, weeping tears. That is, after leaving the capital, Geng sent a telegram to report the benefits and disadvantages of the supervisor, and published it in various newspapers for the world. We have seen it all. I asked myself to run around in the summer heat, to mediate, and to be responsible to the people of the country. Even if the traitor party’s intentions were not agreed, and it was only Zuolin who sought revenge and provoked provocations, it was only Zuolin. Return to the charcoal. Nearly spread rumors that the intention of the righteous teacher contains the idea of ​​​​restoration. The imperial system cannot be restored. Anyone with a little common sense can know this. All my comrades are the leaders of the republic. Being poor and boring is just making up slanderous words. This behavior is not as good as a dog. It should be known to all knowledgeable people and there is no reason to argue. Recently, I saw a report from the supervisory office, claiming to be the general of the book, and the article was full of pain Wu Peifu. All kinds of crimes. The husband calls the president the general. Since the Republic of China, there has been no such official document. These are all traitors who intend to create chaos, trap the supervision and management in injustice, and harm the people of the whole country. Also. Zuolin left the army this time to punish the traitorous party for the Republic of China, restore freedom for the head of state, and save millions of people in Kinki. Zhang Zuolin knocks."

On July 14, the Shunzhi Provincial Council, Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce, and Zhili Chamber of Commerce jointly sent a telegram announcing Duan Qirui's three crimes.This "cold electricity" accused Duan Qirui: "... regards Donghai as a puppet, treats fellow officials like slaves, bosses around, and is very hot. Although Jin Yunpeng is a student, since he is the prime minister, the system should be above supervision. It is a letter from Duan Qirui who has a relationship with the academy. Handwritten approval has the words Jiaoyuan and Jiaobu. Those subordinates who are ordered to pass it on to the academy will directly write the words "follow the supervisor to handle it, and hand it over to the prime minister for handling." Let the seal and ribbon of the head of state be issued freely. Where is the discipline? This is the first major crime. Trust Cao Lu and borrow 50 million yuan in Japanese money to hand over the rights to the forest minerals in the three eastern provinces and the Manchurian-Mongolian-Rehe Railway to the Japanese. The Jiaoji, Gaoxu, Shunji and other railways were signed contracts with Japan, so that Shandong would also be the continuation of the three eastern provinces. Even a military agreement was signed, and the Japanese army invaded North Manchuria, under the guise of participating in the war training, and the Japanese officers took over our military power. As for agreeing to sign the German treaty and advocating direct negotiations, all of them are for the purpose of flattering foreigners and subjugating their own country. This is the second major crime. When Duan was in Yuan Xiangcheng, he often used Xiangcheng to use power and tricks to use money to buy junior officers and instigate rebellion against superior officials. This is not the case. Unexpectedly, since he came to power, he has intensified his efforts. . . . He used money extensively and united the armies of various provinces to strengthen himself, so that the number of troops increased day by day and the resources of money were exhausted. This is the third major crime.”

At the end of the telegram, it accused Duan Qirui of not being as clean as most people said. It pointed out: "The house in the Tianjin Free Concession was purchased by Xu Shuzheng in Hanyang in the first year of the Republic of China, and he divided it into sections with 130,000 yuan. Zeng Yunpei used Anfu party fees for Duanxing to build a house in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It was restored and rebelled against. Duan has 2 million yuan in private pockets. Duan has 1 million yuan of shares in the Sino-Japanese Exchange Bank.” Before Zhang Zuolin announced on July 13 that he would send troops into the customs, Duan was very confident about the battle of "seeking straightness". He once boasted that Baoding could be captured in only five days after the war started.His self-confidence is that Fengjun will not help Zhijun.Why did he believe that Feng Jun would not intervene?Because he believed that although Zhang Zuolin was at odds with Xu Shuzheng, Zhang also had great conflicts with Cao Kun and Li Chun, his direct relatives. Therefore, Duan estimated that Zhang Zuolin must be sitting outside the pass and watching success or failure, and would not easily bet on the conflict between Zhiwan and Anhui.In other words, Zhang Zuolin will remain neutral.Duan believed that as long as Zhang Zuolin remained neutral, he would be sure to defeat Zhijun.

How did you know that on the 13th, you received a military report that the 27th and 28th Divisions of the Feng Army had entered the pass, and then learned that the Feng Army had deployed defenses on Jingfeng Road, Jinpu Road, Machang, and Junliang City? It really freaked him out. Originally, since July 11, there have been small-scale conflicts on the front lines of the Zhiwan and Anhui armies.The sound of cannons has been heard in Beijing.Legend has it that the frontier guards and Liu Xun's 15th Division expressed their reluctance to go to battle, and retreated whenever they came into contact with the direct army.When Feng's army entered the customs, the Anfu Department really panicked, so Cao Rulin and Fu Liangzuo went to pay a visit to Xu Shichang and asked for a truce. On the 14th, Xu Shichang ordered:

"The founding of the Republic of China, in the ninth year of the Republic of China, the invasion of military disasters, the common people suffered from the frontier, wandering about, all industries withered, and the people's sentiments are arrogant. It is almost impossible to live forever. The beginning of this President's inauguration, in view of the The general trend of the world is to advocate peace. Since this year, wars have been temporarily suppressed, and industry, business and business travel have been short of peace. It is still believed that unification will not be achieved immediately, and livelihoods will not be fully restored. This year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are flooded. Disasters, Kinki In the area, the rain is scarce, the food is rushing, the friends are prosperous, the family is struggling, and the worries are like troubles. There are armies from all walks of life. Due to various misunderstandings, there are transfers. When the soldiers arrive, the village is shocked and famine Yu, how can you be a teacher? The president of this great country is not good enough, and he is entrusted by the people. He only knows how to love the country and protect the people. After this decree, all armies from all walks of life should abide by the order, retreat to the original defense, work together to maintain the overall situation, and copy the best wishes of the President to protect Li Yuan. This order."

Duan Xi was in a hurry. On the one hand, he oppressed Xu Shichang to issue a truce order. On the other hand, he felt that the current situation must fight quickly, otherwise the morale of the army would not be easy to maintain. Therefore, on the afternoon of July 14, he called a special military meeting and decided to issue a general attack order immediately. In order to boost morale, a special call to the whole country, crusade against the direct army, said: "In order to report the matter, the case has been investigated that Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Cao Kai and others have no government. They threatened the head of state and besieged Gyeonggi. The crime is undeniable, and it is true that there is more than enough time for death. On the 9th, the Presidential Order was issued: Cao Kun was dismissed from office to see the effect later. Wu Peifu was dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry of punishment. After the order was issued, the Ministry of the Ministry repeatedly ordered him to withdraw troops. Donate benevolence outside the law, and give grace and grace. How should Cao Kun and others repent and redeem themselves, and redeem themselves. Not only did Cao Kun and others turn a deaf ear to the Dianhuanghuang, but they even sent troops northward, sparing no effort. Jinghan Road, has passed through Zhuo County , Jingfeng 1st Road, has passed Yangcun, forced to spy on Zhangzhuang. Between the two roads, he made a tricky plan, crossed Gu'an fiercely, crossed the river at night, and attacked our army secretly. It was he who directly violated the capital and shocked Jinei , It’s hard to tolerate, but secretly collude Zhang Xun to go out of Beijing, re-planning for restoration, rebellion is especially unforgivable. The capital is a fundamental place, there are many embassies, foreign businessmen and expatriates, who have graduated from various countries, a little disturbance, and move to offend neighbors and endanger the country. , He Kesheng said. More troops were dispatched again, broke into the territory of Shandong, and occupied the Li Family Temple on the south bank of the Yellow River. Sending out to join the army, sharing the same weal and woe with the country, as a member of the country's army, it is difficult to sit idly by. Today, the President of the Ming Dynasty, first exhausted all the divisions and brigades near the capital, and compiled them into the Dingguo Army, led by Qirui himself, guarding the capital, Divide the road to attack, to secure the government and maintain diplomatic relations, eliminate traitors and establish the state. He drives the army. That is, his subordinates, but they can understand the evil and the right, and they will be hired immediately. They captured and beheaded Cao Kun and others and offered them to the front of the army. In this crisis, there must be those who have the shoes and the sword and rise up, and Qirui is willing to eradicate the traitors for the country, that is, to protect the people's livelihood and health.

On the same day, Cao Kun also issued two telegrams. One telegram was sent to various provinces, explaining that the cause of the quarrel was in Duanxi. The telegram said: "The frontier guards called their troops near Ji, harassing the merchants and people, and they are still going on. With a large force, they occupied Zhuozhou, Gu'an, Laishui, etc., and attacked Gaobeidian in two days in the cold. East. Lu occupied the area of ​​Liangzhuang and Beibei Temple, and attacked Yangcun. The artillery fire was fierce, and the bullets rained like rain. Our troops were defending, but before we could return the attack, they pressed harder and tighter. It was a deliberate provocation. The facts are as it is. At ease, the only thing we can do is to encourage the soldiers, to be ready in battle, to strengthen our defenses and protect the people's livelihood, and to send a special telegram to hear the news, and all the ministers will take photos. Cao Kun." The second is to electrify the newspaper offices, please drive out the traitors, the telegram says: "Heaven's misfortune to China, this cruelty, peace and prosperity to the country, Duan Xu sheltered rebels, all kinds of crimes, known to both China and foreign countries. The coalition forces of the provinces, the righteousness of saving the country, and in accordance with the legal procedures, petitioned the President to dismiss the villains who have harmed the country. Duan Xu Acting as a minion, disobeying the president's order, and prospering an unknown army. The coalition forces of the provinces are unbearable, still strictly restraining their troops, defending properly, not daring to start the war lightly, and harming the lives. , It is a conspiracy and treachery. One side forces the head of state to issue a truce order, and the other side takes advantage of the unpreparedness of the provinces to conduct a secret attack and issue a general attack order. The truth is right and wrong. They are all cases that must be punished. I would like to formally inform all friendly countries and the fathers and elders of the country that starting today, the siege of the treacherous party's base area will be carried out, and the murder will be wiped out, and the foundation of the country will be laid. I only pray for public lessons. Cao Kun." On July 17, the Zhiwan and Anhui armies had already opened fire, and the Guangzhou military government also issued a telegram condemning Duan Qirui. The telegram said: "The national traitor Duan Qirui, who lost the seat three times, expelled the head of state twice, borrowed 600 million yuan in foreign debts, killed all the Chinese, raised the fifth division of the private army, and looked to the left. He hid Xu Shuzheng again, drove out dissidents, and gathered Anfu. The Ministry hijacked the regime. The military agreement was hated by the people, and they insisted on extending it indefinitely; the Qingdao issue, which should be judged by the League, advocated direct negotiations; the Congress can go, the president can go, and the provocative Xu Shuzheng, You must not go; people's lives and property can be sacrificed, national sovereignty, forests and minerals can be sacrificed, but the political council that attracts the outside and cripples the inside must not be sacrificed. Ferocity is like Zhu Wendong Zhuo, and he also enriches the country for private interests; flatters the outside world Such as Qin Hui and Li Wanyong, and even supported the army and made chaos. The crimes are too numerous to describe. The ancient human beings raped, there is no limit. He and his party members have also been here for three years, and they will not change their ambitions. They use the world to eliminate soldiers, and internal strife should be resolved. Make his confidant kings bow to the Tang Dynasty, control the peace situation, protect private rights, and talk about honesty when they bow to robbers, which is ugly. Always refuse, would you rather have others? The source of the chaos is unclear. Stationed in Nanzhong, he saw the crux of the problem, was distressed by the national crisis, and generously withdrew his defenses. He directly served the army, pleaded for the people, and spoke out of righteousness, which shows that we are fighting traitors for the country, and the north and the south are the same. Occupy the northern capital, start a war of war, use the policy of militarism against the south, kill his comrades; do not allow the frontier army to fight against the inside, and poison Jifu. The destiny is not to be feared, and the words of the people are not to be sympathetic, but knowing the dissidents will be devoured, and the whole country will be sacrificed. Therefore, those who blamed the dispute between the North and the South did not fully understand the theory of China and the frontier. There are rumors on the road that the army has a general of a certain country, who is assisted by Yin, and a certain family is an adviser. It is better to be reasonable. However, the Jingtang is still there, and the Tang Dynasty will eventually be overthrown. If the father is not eliminated, Lu will be in trouble. Today, all the troops in the province are condemned for their crimes. The righteousness is awe-inspiring, for the country and for the nation Competing for personality, swaying the north to point, and the thin sea wind. There are rebellious soldiers, but they know how to extricate themselves, salty and reform. If you linger, you will regret it. There are many people, one is the strength of the heart. Eliminate evil and do everything, and build Jue Xun. The soul of the treacherous hero will not be decided in the future Mei Wu Zhizang, we will come together to drink together. Tell the far and near, and I will be happy!" In Hubei, Wang Zhanyuan of the Zhili lineage suddenly took decisive action when Zhiwan was on the verge of war, and put Wu Guangxin, the governor of Hunan who was living in Hubei, under house arrest.It turned out that after the Beijing government announced that Duan Qirui's relative, Wu Guangxin, was the Governor of Hunan, the Northern Army had completely withdrawn from Hunan. He and the former Governor of Hunan, Zhang Jingyao, conspired to seize Hubei and assist the Zhijun Army. Capture Henan.However, Edu Wang Zhanyuan is not a fool. He did not wait for Wu Zhang to do it, so he acted first. In the name of inviting a banquet, he invited Wu Guangxin to the governor's office for a banquet. After the banquet was over, Wu Guangxin was placed under house arrest. dissolve.Zhang Jingyao was very smart this time, he ran away when he heard the news.
