Chapter 233 232. Feng Yuxiang electrified and went to the field

Although Wu Peifu made a comeback, he no longer had the same situation as Luoyang Hushi back then. His word "thief" refers to Fengjun at this time. He sent troops to the Chajiadun headquarters to seek Fengjun in two ways. The osprey will be the main general, marching eastward from Longhai Road.Kou Yingjie was the main general along the way, marching northward from Pinghan Road, first cut off the two wings of Fengzhang, one wing was Zhang Zongchang, the supervisor of Shandong, and the other was Li Jinglin, the supervisor of Zhili.At this time, Guo Songling had not yet returned to the outside of the division.

Wu sent troops on two fronts, all of which were false routes to Henan. Originally, Henan was Wu's base camp, and Wu's old troops, such as Chen Jiuzhao, Wang Weiwei, and Wang Weicheng, still had military power. All the old troops were dispatched, Lu from Longhai Road, with Jin Yun'e as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Yu army, and Kou Yingjie leading his troops from Pinghan to Henan, hoping that Yuyue would understand and agree. From Yue Weijun's point of view, it is Yue's confidant's trouble that the old part of Wu is scattered in Henan. Therefore, if they can all be transferred away, it is naturally a wish. Besides, Wu's purpose of transferring the army is to ask for support. At this time, the National Army is also using Fengjun as an imaginary enemy. , Wu joined the discussion, how could Yue object.But Wu wanted Kou Yingjie to go northward through the heart of Henan, with unpredictable intentions.Feng Yuxiang secretly contacted Yue and asked him to protect the border with armed forces, so Yue Weijun defended the Hubei-Henan border with heavy troops, and did not allow Wu Jun to step out of Wusheng Pass. Jin Yun'e's army entered Lu from Guide and occupied Jining, Caozhou and other places.

Zhang Zongchang blatantly sang the theory of supporting Wu in Shandong, and Li Jinglin followed suit.Zhang Zongchang is from Shandong, and he is from the same hometown as Wu. Although he was neglected by Wu, he admires Wu in his heart.In the second battle of Zhifeng, he recruited a large number of remnants of the Wu army under the slogan that Shandong people would not fight Shandong people.When Wu Peifu reemerged in Hankou, it was the time when the Feng faction and the National Army faction had an undercurrent.Zhang Zongchang believed that Wu hated Feng Yuxiang to the bone, and if Wu Peifu and the Feng family were reconciled, it would be possible at this moment.Therefore, he secretly sent representatives Fan Qianhe and Tong Haogu to Hankou to meet Wu's think tank Zhang Qizhen and carry out the "Wu Feng Cooperation Plan".Wu is not a person who turns clouds and rains up and down, he just announced his offer, so naturally he couldn't turn his face to make a joint offer.

However, politics is ever-changing. Wu inadvertently obtained information that the National Army had secretly arranged for Hunan and Guizhou provinces to attack Wuhan. Se said: "Feng Huanzhang is simply not a human being, how can I be friends with them?" Therefore, Wu's suggestion to discuss Feng was considered. As far as Wu was in the situation at the time, he was surrounded by enemies. If he could increase his friends and reduce his enemies, that would be the best way.Zhang Zongchang knew that Wu had been shaken, so he telegraphed Wu every day, calling him "Marshal", and asked former Shandong Governor Xiong Bingqi (direct line) to come to Hankou to tell Wu: Zhang Zongchang is from Shandong, Marshal Wu is also from Shandong, and he is from Shandong. If he doesn't fight Shandong people, Zhang Zongchang is willing to obey Marshal Wu and welcomes Marshal Wu back to Shandong.

Since Wu Peifu's defeat in the Second Fengzhi War, he has encountered subordinates who killed tigers everywhere. Now Zhang Zongchang dominates Shandong, but he is willing to dedicate Shandong. Although his subordinates are not as close as the enemy, Wu Peifu is deeply moved. Before Yang Yuting was expelled by Sun Chuanfang, Zhang secretly joined forces with Wu. He sent people to Yuezhou to celebrate Wu's birthday, and asked Duan Qirui to release Cao Kun. Su Xilin was sent to Hankou to express his willingness to reach an understanding with Wu, and proposed three points: (1) to release Cao, (2) to leave the customs with the army, and (3) to support Wang Shizhen as president.It's not that Fengzhang has any special affection for Wu, but in the face of Wu, Sun, Feng's joint siege of Fengjun, he tried his best to break through this difficulty.As for Wu Peifu?Although he doesn't like Feng Zhang, he hates Feng Yuxiang even more. It is an old hatred with Feng Zhang, but a new hatred with Feng. The old hatred can be put aside, but the new hatred must be counted.

Wu Ben had a strange army, and he sent Song Daming as the commander-in-chief of the first Jilin army to seek thieves, and Liu Xisheng as the deputy commander.They set up a headquarters in Shuangchengzi, which is only a short station away from Suifenhe, and they planned to serve as Wu's internal support.Unexpectedly, on November 22, 2014, Guo Songling rebelled, and Fengzhang was in a critical situation. Wu was shocked when he got the news at the Chajiadun headquarters. This was very similar to Wu's situation back then. Now I know the principle of circulation, leaning against the railing and nodding indiscriminately." He said to Zhang Qizhen, "I don't take advantage of others' danger." So Wu ordered Song Daming and Liu Xisheng's internal response to be withdrawn, and the Jin Yun'e corps that attacked Shandong was transferred back.

Since Wu Peifu expressed his desire to unite with Feng, and Guo Songling was defeated and killed, Feng Zhang's difficult situation was turned into a breeze in an instant, which was really unexpected by Zhang Zuolin.In the autumn and winter of 2014, Fengzhang was the most difficult. He had to resign and commit suicide again and again. The main reason was that Guo Songling joined forces with Feng Yuxiang to defect to him, and Feng Yuxiang formed a united front with Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu. If this united front is really strong, Feng Zhang will have the same fate as Cao Kun and Wu Peifu last year.However, the united front for Feng Yuxiang was not strong, and it was only temporarily united due to interests. In addition, Guo Songling's return to the division outside the pass failed to seize the opportunity to achieve lightning-fast results. Feng Yuxiang's National Army fought hard with Li Jinglin in Tianjin, and Li Jinglin joined forces. Zhang Zongchang organized the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces, and Zhang Zongchang joined Wu Peifu's line. As a result, the anti-Feng coalition camp fell apart.Guo Songling failed, Feng Zhang stood firm, Zhang Zongchang and Wu Peifu combined, and the joint discussion of Feng became the joint discussion of Feng, and Feng Yuxiang suddenly became besieged on all sides.

When Feng Yuxiang's national army captured Tianjin, Beijing and Zhili were completely in the hands of the Feng family. Duan Qirui's strategist Zeng Yujun was detained, and Duan's soul Xu Shuzheng was killed. Suddenly there was a big change. Wu Peifu switched on the telegram on December 31 to end the war against Feng. Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, and Zhang Zongchang formed a united front against Feng. And Sun Chuanfang also responded to Wu Peifu to end the war against Feng Yuxiang. Under such a dangerous environment, Feng Yuxiang had no choice but to electrify and go to the field. On January 1, 2015, Feng Yuxiang was electrified and went to the field, and the electric cloud:

"(Title slightly) Our country has been suffering from the disaster of war, and it has been here for fourteen years. Killing the wild, all the people killed are compatriots. There are many disputes, and the one who is fighting is the country. The old and the weak turn to the ravine, and the young and strong take risks. Zhou Shi was whipped Money is omnipotent, and crowds flock to it. The great festival of comity is lost, and the faith of the country is gone. The warlords ruined the country, the people gnashed their teeth, and learned from it. This is extremely painful. Since Yuxiang advocated peace last year, this From now on, we will stop the internal conflicts and focus on construction. Therefore, investing in frontier fortresses, expanding land and emigrating, and opening canals, planting trees, building roads and afforestation are all advocated. All the policies of relieving the poor, providing for the elderly, and reclaiming soldiers are all implemented. Based on the facts, Forgive us for all to see. Those who do not expect to be domineering, do not sway their hearts, those who cling to them, fuel their momentum, station troops on the Huaihe River, drink horses and rivers, and want to sweep across the sea, dominate the Central Plains, violent and violent, righteous anger is moving, with It is a mass confrontation, and the crowd gathers Jingcong. Sun Xindu led the righteousness in Zhejiang, and drove northward. Xiao Hengdu supported Hubei and clarified his determination. Anhui and Jiangxi were sealed off. In ten days, retreated thousands of miles. People's hearts are against each other, so we can see. Still ambitions are not dead, and the trend is strong. Drive troops into the pass, turn to the north. Use troops to fight, and fall into self-immolation. Commander Guo (Song Ling) is in pain for the people of Eastern Province Distressed by water and heat, deeply cherishing the sorrow of the thorns and thorns of the homeland, he organized his division and brigade and pleaded for the people. At the beginning of his return, Fang Cen (Li Jinglin) promised to help. When he arrived at Yuguan to win the battle, the lonely army went deep. It was Fang Cen's second and third His virtue, he violated the previous agreement with Maochen (Guo Songling), and slandered Yuxiang by telegram. Yuxiang used troops as a last resort in order to promote peace. Now Fangcen fled, Beijing and Tianjin were purged, and there were people in charge of the direct province. It is decided. It is not expected that Commander Guo will approach Shenyang and overthrow it once. According to legend, it is said that he has died in his hometown. He failed his original intention and eventually became a corpse. If you feel remorse, those who are good at fighting should serve the sentence. All the people in the boat will become the enemy country, and the ancient teachings are clear, so you can be vigilant! In view of the arbitrariness of the warriors, Yuxiang always relies on defeating the remaining prestige to control the political power. Looking back on the past, it is always sad. This time it was a fluke Ke Jie, victory is not military. How dare you covet the merits of the sky and benefit yourself. It is a critical opportunity, a meeting of thorough clarification, and it is still appropriate to seek the transformation of the country based on the original intention of peace. I hope that the war will end from now on. The people have to rest and recuperate, and Yuxiang himself should go down to the field immediately to relieve his burden. If so, those who create doubts can be stopped. Those who sow discord will lose their support. As for the country's plans, the elders with great virtues in power will look up to everyone. Ziyu (Wu Peifu) has learned a lot and suffered setbacks. He should let go of past suspicions and conspire with the state. Sun Xindu (Chuanfang), Xiao Hengdu (Yaonan), Fang Yaodu (Benren), Yan Bai Governor (Xishan), Yuexi Governor (Wei Jun), and Sun Yudu (Yue) were all insurgents, and they performed extraordinary feats. .As for the national economy and the people's livelihood, it is advisable to support each other and help each other in difficulties. Yuxiang has neither knowledge nor experience. It is useless to govern the country. It will not benefit the common people. To govern the army will make people tired. Rather than miss the future, see the people of the country If you retire as soon as possible, you will be spared the blame. In addition to submitting another resignation, I will be dismissed immediately and return my first service. All the names of the National Army have been canceled by power-on. After that, I belong to the National Army and no longer use the name of the National Army. reachFrom now on, all the guests who see the teachings in terms of political affairs will all be thanked.All texts and telegrams bestowed due to the position will not be answered, as a show of determination.After Yuxiang was dismissed, he planned to travel immediately and devote himself to learning. If he was stupid enough to get something, he secretly wished to pay tribute to the people of the country.I would like to clothe my heart and pray for inspection.Feng Yuxiang.East.print. "

After Feng Yuxiang resigned and stepped down, Zhang Zhijiang acted as the commander-in-chief of the National Army. Feng's resignation telegram was in the hope that he and Wu Peifu would put aside their past grievances, so he commented on Wu Peifu's deep learning and cultivation, and hoped that Wu would not be able to settle the old score after the world has changed.As for Feng's tone of denunciation against Feng Zhang, it seems that the hatred is irreconcilable.This is the characteristic of the Beiyang era, friends today, enemies tomorrow, enemies yesterday, friends today.However, Wu is gnashing his teeth against Feng, and he is truly irreconcilable. When Wu rises again, he just wants to use begging as a means. The situation of cooperation has been achieved, and Wu Shi cannot abandon the new love and repair the old "good".

After Feng Yuxiang left the field, Wu Peifu suddenly became an important figure in the life of all parties.It is said that Duan Qirui wanted to appoint Wu as the "military envoy of the seven provinces".The Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces telegraphed Wu as "I am handsome".Wu still advocated the restoration of the legal system, and Sun Chuanfang was willing to wait for advice.And Zhang Zhijiang has a world report: "I would like to follow my commander-in-chief and try my best to gallop." Yuyue (Wei Jun)'s grandson (Yue) also followed suit. This is the golden age of Wu Peifu's recovery after his failure. It is a pity that Wu could not grasp this golden age and use political means to restore the unfinished achievements of Si Zhaotang.He has a stubborn personality, does not do anything, and refuses to take advantage of others when the situation in Fengzhang is at a low ebb, so he decides to fight Feng for the purpose of joining Fengzhang. Wu declares that all parties are willing to turn enemies into friends. And Feng alone as an enemy. At this time, the revolutionary forces in Guangzhou were on the rise. In order to promote the unanimous awareness of the Beiyang soldiers, the Guangzhou Nationalist Government published a song and telegram, advocating the convening of a national congress internally to resolve state affairs and the abolition of unequal treaties externally.These opinions are originally the same as Wu Peifu's political views. In all fairness, Wu can be regarded as a revolutionary figure among the Beiyang generals. After his withdrawal from Hengyang, he aimed to unite with the outside world, but his unity with the outside world is Taking himself as the center, he did not pay much attention to the appeal of the Guangzhou Nationalist Government. He could not join the revolutionary camp, which was a loss to him and to the situation at that time.In fact, Wu was no longer insisting on the issue of constitutional protection at this time. He also disapproved of Cao Kun's reinstatement. He had no intention of using troops in the south, but he was distressed by the corrupt forces in the north for a long time. Therefore, he is the Beiyang soldier who is most qualified to join the revolutionary camp. Yes, it's a pity that his personal heroism is too heavy, and at the same time he is unwilling to speculate, so not only did his participation in the revolutionary camp come to naught, but at the same time he forced Feng Yuxiang and Tang Shengzhi to join the revolutionary camp. Wu is a person who doesn't care about the interests, success or failure, and does whatever he thinks of. As a result, this resurgence is just a flash in the pan. This is a period of chaos in Beiyang, and it can also be said to be a period of dying. The powerful Rufeng faction is killing each other, which greatly hurts their vitality.Before that, the backstage warlords of the Beijing government were the big bosses, but now no one is qualified to be the big boss. The first is the direct lineage. Before the Second World War, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were the big bosses in Beijing. After Cao Kun bribed the election, his reputation was discredited.So Feng Zhang and Feng Yuxiang of the National Army became the backstage of the Beijing government.When Feng Zhang was enjoying himself, Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan were expelled in the Yangtze River, Guo Songling joined forces with Feng Yuxiang to turn against him, Zhang Zuolin almost became a bereaved dog, Feng Zhang turned the crisis into safety, Wu Peifu reappeared in Wuhan, and Feng Yuxiang became besieged on all sides.As for Duan Qirui, he has no soldiers and no power, and just governs with empty hands. When Wu Peifu regained his prestige in Wuhan, people from all walks of life rushed to central China, and the whole country's attention was also focused on Wu, but Wu's prestige could not stand the test even in Wuhan. After the death of Hubei governor Xiao Yaonan, Wu Peifu sent Chen Jiamo to succeed him, and sent Cao Ying and Xiong Bingqi to attend the funeral.Chen Jiamo announced his inauguration on February 15. On the 17th, news of Cao Ying's death came again, and Wu's key figures passed away one by one. People in Hubei were dissatisfied with Du Xigui, the Wu committee member, as the governor. Telegraph Xiao's death to all parties. (2) Chen Jiamo, the commander of the Second Army, is asked to temporarily maintain public order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison. (3) The Governor must be elected by the Provincial Assembly, and Governor Du shall be represented by the Minister of Government Affairs before he is elected. (4) After February 15, the official documents of Hubei Province will not be effective unless they are in the name of the acting governor of the Department of Government Affairs. This is an action taken by Hubei people to despise Marshal Wu. What embarrasses Wu especially is that this method is a replica of Hunan's provincial governance, and Wu is the soldier who is most opposed to provincial governance. Not only the provincial council, but also the public groups of Hubei Province have held meetings to oppose Wu's appointment of the governor, and there will be a joint meeting brewing. Beijing is fighting for Wu, and Hubei is trying to exclude Wu with the provincial government. It can be seen that after Wu Dongshan's resurgence, everything is not going well.However, whether it is Beijing or Hubei, it is just air, because the Beijing government has no power, and it will not affect Wu in the slightest. The governor Lu Jinshan and the governor Liu Zuolong announced by Beijing are Wu's subordinates. In fact, Lu and Liu did not accept Beijing's new order.Lu Jinshan also took a ship from Yichang to Hankou on February 24, and immediately went ashore to visit Chen Jiamo, and went to Xiao Yaonan's tomb to express his condolences, and then went to Chajiadun to pay a visit to Wu Peifu. On the 26th, Lu called Beijing and asked to resign from the post of military affairs supervisor of Hubei Province, which was a slap in the face of the Beijing government in disguise.The elected governor movement contemplated by various corporations in Hubei is only a flash in the pan. On the other hand, Yue Weijun sent a telegram to Beijing on the 22nd, requesting that Fang Benren be sent to attack Wu Peifu, and Kong Geng also sent a telegram to Beijing, requesting the government to order Fang Benren to clean up the Hubei Bureau. On February 28, Duan Nai ordered Fang Benren to lead the army back to Hubei. Investigate Wu Peifu.After Fang Benren received the order, he immediately appointed Jiang Shaobin as the commander-in-chief of aiding Hubei, and Deng Ruzhuo as the commander-in-chief. Duan Qirui's order to challenge Wu was issued under the oppression of Feng's family. After the electricity of counting Wu was issued, it was widely rumored that Feng Yuxiang would take command again as the commander of the Wu army.When Feng went to the wild, he originally declared that he would go abroad, but he just left Zhangjiakou and went to Pingdiquan to see the scenery. The National Army generals did not want Feng to go abroad. After the order to challenge Wu was issued, generals Zhang Zhijiang, Li Mingzhong, Lu Zhonglin, Song Zheyuan, Liu Yufen, Liu Ji, etc. of the Feng family jointly called celebrities inside and outside Beijing, briefly saying: "In the Battle of Jingu last year, General Feng's success was not high, and he was outstanding. You know that people's hearts are changing, and the situation is getting worse. The country has gone to Yuanliang, and the overall situation is still difficult to save. The invasion of the guest army brought solidarity from neighboring provinces. As soon as the battle broke out, there was smoke everywhere. General Feng felt sorry for the remnant, and he was weeping lately. He wanted to pack up and go to the country, so as not to be heartbroken by witnesses. Jiang Zhijiang and others thought that the country is in trouble today, and its vitality is withered. Afterwards, the chaos was established and the country was established. Jue Wei Yuanrong was Lai, and he was responsible for the righteousness of the joint name of the scriptures. There is no such thing as persuading the driver to be in vain, but the ambition on the mountain is still firm. There are all kinds of statements, but none of them will be moved. Everyone respects Doushan, is well-known at home and abroad, cares about the overall situation, and should be sympathetic. I still hope that we will share the difficulties and unanimously sponsor." The generals of Feng's family hoped that through this electrification, celebrities at home and abroad would respond together, so that Feng would come out of the mountain under the ardent urging of everyone, but there was no enthusiastic response from all parties.So Feng had no choice but to stay in Pingdiquan and wait for changes. On March 4, Duan Qirui ordered Feng to be the envoy of Zhiyu and Shanxi. Feng still had no plans to go to the mountains, and went abroad from Pingdiquan via Kulun. Bong and Zhang pressure from both sides.After Feng went abroad, Zhang Zhijiang announced that he would follow Feng to lead the National Army, as the nominal leader of the National Army, but only a nominal leader.Zhang Wei is more than loyal, but lacks courage, and his qualifications are similar to other generals of the national army such as Li Mingzhong, Song Zheyuan, Liu Yufen, Jiang Hongyu, etc. Therefore, although Zhang Zhijiang seems to be acting as Feng Yuxiang in name, he is actually a collective leader.At the same time, Zhang Zhijiang couldn't command Lu Zhonglin and Li Mingzhong. It is said that Zhang Zhijiang advocated that Feng's troops withdraw from Beijing and focus on the northwest, so as to avoid being besieged on all sides and being attacked by enemies.In the situation of the Feng family at that time, this was very reasonable, because Feng's old nest was in the northwest. If the main force of the National Army withdrew to Chahar and Suiyuan and handed over Beijing to Duan Qirui, it would avoid the public's criticism. Let other princes from all walks of life come to rob Beijing, and promote Fengzhang, Zhiwu and others to fight each other and contain each other, which reduces the frontal and lateral pressure on the national army. However, Lu Zhonglin has power in Beijing, so of course he doesn’t want to Leaving Beijing, or not leaving Beijing, the National Army will be in a state of chaos, not only facing enemies from all sides, but also dispersing its forces.
