Chapter 22 Chapter 21

Victory of the Feng army, Feng Yuxiang's coup d'état The war started, and the fighting was fierce.The First and Third Armies of the Fengjun Allied Forces attacking the front line of Shanhaiguan, after gathering in Suizhong, gradually attacked the direct army positions east of Yuguan on the 18th; During the division and Mi Zhenbiaoyi's army, they won successive victories. They occupied Kailu and Chaoyang within a week, and then attacked Lingyuan; Captured Chifeng. War is ever-changing, and a good situation can be gained or lost in an instant.The Feng army's various attacks went smoothly, but they didn't know that there were benefits and harms, and there were difficulties along the way.On the front of Shanhaiguan, because the direct army occupies favorable terrain and is deployed with elite troops of the direct lineage, it is difficult for Fengjun's first and third armies to make progress because of small profits.After fierce fighting until October 7, Sun Xuchang, commander of the 10th Mixed Brigade of the Feng Army, led his troops to attack Jiumenkou, and Feng Yurong, commander of the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Direct Army, committed suicide.The Feng army took advantage of the momentum to advance and occupied a position near Shimensai.At this point, the left side of the Zhijun Army was greatly threatened, and Wu Peifu launched a counterattack against Fengjun with a strong force.The main force of the counter-offensive force was Jin Yunpeng's 14th Division. Wu Peifu personally went to Yuguan to command and mobilized a large number of reinforcements.Feng Jun gradually felt overwhelmed.

The First and Third Armies of the Feng Army sent three additional brigades to the front line of Shimen, and Jiang Dengxuan, commander of the first army, and Han Linchun, deputy commander of the army, went to the front to command.Since then, the two sides have been fighting fiercely, but neither has been able to make greater progress.At this time, the Japanese sent information to the Fengjun, saying that the Zhijun had recruited a ship from the Zhengji Steamship Company to transport three or four divisions of the army near Dagukou to invade the territory of the Fengjun. Its landing place is Yingkou, or Huludao......

The situation was extremely urgent, Zhang Zuolin took the armored train to the frontier station, and held a meeting of the commanders of the army at the station.He has a serious face and strong words: "Listen, everyone, this battle is a matter of life and death. We are betting all the money we have accumulated for several years this time. We are only allowed to win, not to lose. Wu Peifu is not easy to mess with, Everyone has to go all out! Whoever shrinks back and misses the military plane, don't blame my relatives for denying me; whoever enters the customs first, I will have an official and a reward!" Zhang Zuolin said again: "I have decided to take the reserve team to the most critical place immediately --Go to the Nine Gates, don't come to see me if you can't take it down!"

According to Zhang Zuolin's order, at dawn the next day, the first and third allied forces launched a full-line attack.Although the offensive was fierce and there was support from the reserve team, the situation of the Feng army did not completely improve because the direct army was too strong.At this critical juncture, Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling discussed emergency countermeasures. "Now it seems that Shanhaiguan can no longer break through from the front," Zhang Xueliang said, "Maybe we should transfer some troops to strengthen the front line of Jiumenkou?" "I think so too." Guo Songling said: "You must open a gap first, and if you don't break through the gap, you won't have the strength to continue fighting."

From my point of view, most of the two artillery brigades will be withdrawn, and another eight regiments will be withdrawn, and you will lead the reinforcement of the Nine Gates. "Zhang Xueliang said." It must be torn from there and punched in. " Guo Songling agreed to do so. At this time, a contradiction suddenly broke out within the First and Third Allied Forces: Yan Zongzhou, battalion commander of the Guobu Artillery Regiment, was dismissed by regimental commander Chen Shen "due to ineffective combat".This decision was reported to Jiang Dengxuan and Han Linchun for approval.Yan Zongzhou is Guo Songling's classmate, and he usually has a very good relationship.After he was dismissed, he came to Guo to complain, saying: "There are many such things, and it is Chen's excuse to retaliate." In a rage, Guo Songling ordered Chen Shenpao to be dismissed as head of the regiment, and at the same time ordered Yan reinstatement.Jiang and Han originally had conflicts with Guo, but recently they complained to each other because of Jiumenkou's long-term inability to attack. After the dismissal and reinstatement happened, the two immediately jointly signed a telegram to Fengtian headquarters, and Han Linchun went to Fengtian to report the matter to Zhang Zuolin himself.The war was imminent, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhang Zuolin decided to "don't look into the past, and Chen and Yan will return to their original posts."

Guo Songling was very dissatisfied when she heard about this, "Damn it, sue me! Okay, I have a crush on you Let's fight at the gate of Jiumen, the hero will be the one who conquers it!" That night, Guo Songling brought the eight~. Guo Songling withdrew the reinforcements from the battlefield without authorization, and Zhang Xueliang was taken aback! He hurriedly rode on the fast horse belt. The night was dark, the stars and the moon There is no light, autumn insects are chirping, and white grass is vast. The cottages on the roadside have long been formed by ramie bamboo, and even the crowing of chickens and dogs can’t be heard! Zhang Xueliang chased for 15 miles, but there was no shadow of Yaojing. While hesitating, suddenly Hearing a long neighing of a war horse, he followed, and type: Shu Moliang got off his horse, strode over, took Guo Songling's hand, and said anxiously: "Maochen (Guo Songling's name), Maochen! You just do everything like this Did you leave without hesitation?"...Guo Songling was already touched when he saw Zhang Xueliang chasing after him personally, not to mention that he had already realized a little bit.

Running away is not a trivial matter, so I had to bow my head and say, "Hanqing, I'm sorry for you! Those guys are too arrogant. I couldn't bear it, so I did this." I have always respected your character, and friendship is between teachers and friends. You have great ambitions for the country and the people. Why did you abandon your ambitions because of a trivial matter? Zhang Xueliang said again: "You are confused about this matter. The three eastern provinces do not belong to them, and I, Zhang Xueliang, am not an idiot!" Then, he pointed to Guo Songling's horse and said: "Get on the horse and lead the team back to defend Maochen. I invite you to get on the horse and go back to the defense with me! If you insist on not going, we have to go together. After Jiang Dengxuan learned about this, he used retreat as an attack, and immediately sent an urgent telegram to Fengtian, saying that he had a sudden liver disease, and asked Zhang Zuolin to allow him to return to Fengtian for hospital treatment. Zhang Xueliang ignored it and issued an order in the name of the commander of the coalition forces, appointing Guo Songling

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, he led his troops to attack Shimensai.Only then did Guo organize the team and re-launch the offensive.The Second Army of the Feng Army on the front line of Rehe successively captured Lingyuan and Pingquan from September 22, and reached the area west of Lingyuan in early October; after a short rest, it moved forward to attack Lengkou on September 17. Wu Peifu came to Beijing from the Luoyang base camp and accepted the appointment of President Cao Kun as the "commander-in-chief of the rebel army"; on the 18th, he held a military meeting as the supreme commander of the rebel army and issued a crusade order.

On this day, Wu Peifu was in low spirits. He lowered his head and stared rigidly at the few pieces of paper that had already been written in front of him. On them, there were military deployments, marching routes, and combat requirements. He doesn't need to expend so much effort, and it doesn't necessarily have to be announced by the commander in chief.At this moment, the generals were a little puzzled by Wu Peifu's appearance.Some people commented in a low voice, saying: "Where is the prestige of Zhengzhou, our commander-in-chief?" Some people said: "There is nothing to do. The flowers will fall! One moment, the other moment. After all, Zhang Zuolin is a tyrant in the Northeast with 300,000 horses, isn't he Unarmed Beijing-Hanzhou railway workers."

Wu Peifu was silent for a while, and then he stood up and spoke: I was appointed commander-in-chief for this crusade against the rebellious Zhang Zuolin.Now, I announce the order of the General Command of the Rebel Army: Wang Chengbin was the deputy commander-in-chief of the rebel army and the commander-in-chief of the Zhili rear preparations; Peng Shouxin was the commander-in-chief of the First Army, and attacked along the line of the Beijing-Fengzhou Railway. Wang Huaiqing was the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, leaving Xifeng to Pingquan and Chaoyang; Feng Yuxiang was the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, leaving Gubeikou and heading to Chifeng... "Wu Peifu's order seemed to have been issued. However, there were some commotion - someone

No orders have been received yet. "Report to the Commander-in-Chief: Is the Navy at war?" "Why didn't the navy participate in the war?" I wonder if Wu Peifu was provoked by others or made a mistake in self-examination? He said impatiently: "Can the navy stand by and watch such a big battle?" Although the specific mission of the navy was not clearly stated, the navy, because of the request for war, It is true that the Commander-in-Chief accused him of this.Therefore, the leaders of the Air Force kept their mouths shut.However, someone muttered: "Zhang Zuolin has an air force!" Wu Peifu heard it, sobered up, and said loudly: "Zhang Zuolin has an air force, and we also have it! I order: the air force will go to war with all its strength!" The meeting was adjourned, and the military commanders and brigade commanders who were ordered to leave the venue one after another. Feng Yuxiang was the latest to leave, and he wanted to argue with the commander-in-chief alone about the arrangement for the third army.For such a big move, the headquarters did not talk to him beforehand, and the road in Gubei, with overlapping mountains, rugged roads, extremely inconvenient traffic and very poor places, when will it be possible to reach Chifeng? Feng Yuxiang is most worried about The supply problem on this road. "What if the supply of food and fodder is not enough, what can we do with thousands of troops?" After thinking about it, Feng Yuxiang still shrank back, and he didn't go to Wu Peifu.He knew that there were many unhappiness between him and Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu would not solve the difficulties he faced.After killing Bao Dequan, the military assistant, Wu Peifu became ill with anger. He hated Feng Yuxiang to death; also, when Wu Peifu celebrated his birthday in Luoyang, even the president gave a generous gift, and Feng Yuxiang took two soldiers to send a The altar is clean, and he yells that he is "a poor soldier"! Wu Peifu almost wants to kill him.It was Wu Peifu who pushed him from Henan to Beijing. Even if you, Feng Yuxiang, had a hundred opinions on the arrangement of this expedition, Wu Peifu would not resolve them.Feng Yuxiang gave up hope, he just went to Wang Chengbin, the commander-in-chief of the rear preparations, as usual. "Prepare for the commander-in-chief," Feng Yuxiang said politely, "I'm about to set off. I'm going to Chifeng, how many military stations will you set up for me along the way?" "General Feng," Wang Chengbin was also polite. "The president and the commander-in-chief have both confessed that there will be no military depots for this battle. The supplies of each army will be raised on the spot. Therefore, I have to ask the general to do his own thing." "How do you say, there is no military station?" Feng Yuxiang was taken aback. "Our department passes through areas where there are few people, poor places, and thousands of troops. How can we raise our own funds? Isn't this..." He originally wanted to say, "Isn't this intentional to consume our troops in the barren and barren areas?" Beyond the Great Wall!" But he changed his mind, Wang Chengbin didn't come up with this bad idea, and it's useless to complain to him, it's better to go to Wu Peifu.He gave a sneer to the commander-in-chief of the preparations and left. Feng Yuxiang approached Wu Peifu and said in a defensive manner: "Yushuai, the route from Gubeikou to Chifeng is not only full of barren areas, very poor, but also dangerous and sparsely populated. There is no military station. This is a supply problem... ...",, Wu Peifu smiled slyly, and said with a sly face: "General Huanzhang, I have thought about the provision. But, you also understand that our President Zhongshan (Cao Kun's name Zhongshan) is in trouble. The days of his administration are short. , A lot of waste is waiting to be built, and the national treasury is in ruins. How difficult! As generals, we should be considerate of the president's situation and try our best to relieve the president's worries. As for the road of Gubeikou, it is dangerous. General Huanzhang, you should understand, It is precisely because of the dangerous terrain and the difficulty of attacking and defending that it is necessary to send a powerful force. After thinking about it, this important task is not enough for the general's troops to win. General Feng, we will look forward to your good news!" A serious military measure was blocked by a few half-sarcasm and half-sarcasm.In a rage, Feng Yuxiang came out angrily. Feng Yuxiang was about to go to war, and he had to follow the route prescribed by Wu Peifu's order. In autumn, the air is crisp and the geese fly from the north to the south.Feng Yuxiang led his army from Beijing's Nanyuan to the north. Although it is mighty, it is not urgent. Thirty-seven-year-old Feng Yuxiang seemed to be in his forties, but he still regretted everything.What he regretted for the rest of his life was probably going straight, that is, following Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, especially Wu Peifu... Regarding the two long-planned Zhifeng wars, he didn't want to be out of bounds; he and Zhang Zuolin's representatives Having contacted him, he had acquiesced to Zhang Zuolin's solicitation.However, those are the tactics that everyone uses in warlord melee, it is not surprising or surprising.At that time, he can resist the enemy weakly and pretend to be active. He doesn't want to be determined to oppose his master.However, Wang Chengbin's tone, Wu Peifu's face, especially the rugged and impoverished road he has embarked on, made Feng Yuxiang feel cold: "Is this to defeat the enemy? No! This is to go to the grave, to go to the self sacrifice!",, On the first day of the expedition, when the sun was still on the top of the west mountain, he sent an order: "Camp here!" The general and brigade commander Zhang Zhijiang who marched with him said a little confusedly: "Commander in chief, the army has only marched 20 kilometers. , it's a little over 15 o'clock now..." "Excuting an order!" Feng Yuxiang set up his headquarters in a school in Changping County, so he got into a small house alone, trying to think about something quietly.What are you thinking? He can't tell himself.All in all, I just feel that my chest is tight, and I feel that this expedition is too involuntary and too confusing. Looming beside him is Sun Fei, the captain of the guard, a handsome young man.Xiaosun is a bit educated and quick-witted, and he often comes up with little tricks for the general to resolve some minor distress.Feng Yuxiang regards him not only as a subordinate, but also as a disciple, and never hides anything from him.Therefore, some people said: "Sun Fei is General Feng's second chief of staff." Xiao Sun didn't understand when he set up camp early after the expedition.He originally thought that he would definitely go out of the Great Wall tonight, cross Huairou, and maybe he would arrive in Gubei tomorrow.He understands General Feng's style, he acts vigorously and resolutely! Now it's a war, and soldiers are extremely fast. How could he be so relaxed and set up camp early? General, Xun Fei stood behind Feng Yuxiang and said, "This time we are going on an expedition, I always feel confused and uncomfortable." Sun Fei played a trick, he didn't say that Feng Yuxiang was confused, he only said that he was confused. Feng Yuxiang smiled contemptuously. "It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not, as long as I'm not a fan!" "I think you're a fan too." "Why am I lost?" Feng Yuxiang was deliberately angry. "You can't explain clearly, I can't spare you!" "I'm not afraid that you will deal with me." Fei said, "I don't think we should fight this battle. Why did we go to fight Zhang Zuolin? You stop and go when you go to war Stop, you still say that you are not crazy." Feng Yuxiang only smiled lightly and stopped talking. Sun Fei thought the general didn't understand what he said, so he said, "General, I heard some news and thought it was very important. According to legend, Sun Ke, the son of Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Zuolin, and Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, were in Shenyang. There was a meeting, and it was decided to fight against Cao and Wu together, and a triangular alliance was set up, called the Three Young Masters Meeting. This is a big deal. Do you know?" Feng Yuxiang knew this clearly in his heart, but he pretended not to know. "I haven't heard of it. We don't care what the third son can do. " "It's a big deal!" Fei Fei said, "Sure enough, the three families have united, and we..." Feng Yuxiang shook his hand. "Nothing, we don't care." Fei went out. Feng Yuxiang closed the door, he wanted to meditate alone.He couldn't help thinking: his team had reached a very difficult situation: military expenses had not been settled for eleven months. When he left Henan, Wu Peifu promised to give him 200,000 yuan a month from Henan, but he never received a penny. I can't even eat.What Wang Chengbin said about "none of the armies set up military depots" is an out-and-out lie: Peng Shoushen's first army is worthy of the name "soldiers and horses don't move, food and grass go first"; Going to Chaoyang, not only is the area rich, it is the base of the Zhijun Army, and there are military depots everywhere.The more Feng Yuxiang thought about it, the angrier he became.Finally, he made a decision: "I'm going to stand still!" Jiang Dengxuan ran back to Fengtian, and Guo Songling served as the commander-in-chief of the front line of Shimenzhai.He felt that he could not fight recklessly and had to fight wisely. He immediately adjusted the layout, transferred the Zhao and Qi brigades from the front line, and divided them into north and south to outflank the enemy's rear; he also selected two elite infantry regiments and a mortar battalion. Taking advantage of the darkness, he detoured towards the Jiumen Gate and arrived there before dawn without making a sound.The troops were all concealed, ready to launch a fierce attack at night.This is to confuse the enemy by retreating and advancing secretly. The garrison of Shimenzhai is Peng Shouxin's Department of the Zhijun Army.During the fierce battle, Peng Shouxin suddenly learned that the Zhao and Qi troops, which were the main attackers of the Feng army, had all withdrawn from their positions, and there was no main force to take over.Peng Shouxin thought about it.He knew that his two wings were weak, and he was afraid that the Feng army would attack from the two wings, so he immediately transferred the frontal defenders to a brigade to strengthen the small strongholds and barren ditch on the two wings.It should be due to the bad luck of the Zhijun. It was on this day that Peng Shouxin was summoned by Wu Peifu to Haiyang for a meeting.As a result, most people got drunk. Taking advantage of the dark night, Guo Songling led the team deep into the Jiumen Gate, followed the mountain and divided into two ways to sneak into the trench where his troops had just withdrawn, and pushed the mortar into the position to camouflage.After observing at the front, Guo hurriedly dispatched a regiment to dig five tunnels from the front trenches, extending to the foot of the enemy's frontal positions, and planting enough explosives at any time. It was a tense and "calm" night, and each of the Zhijun gradually had dreams of "all right". The east gradually turned pale.Guo Songling issued a general attack order.All of a sudden, there were thunderbolts and artillery fire: five tunnels were like five volcanoes exploding; dozens of mortars were like dozens of fire dragons; The sky shook, the flames reflected the ground, and flesh and blood flew everywhere! Until Feng Jun rushed into the Zhijun barracks, the drunken officers and soldiers lay still like dead pigs.The Fengjun who broke in were all like fierce tigers. They waved their bright large pieces and cut vegetables and melons without stopping.The sun had just shown a smiling face, and most of the Zhijun army had suffered casualties. They surrendered all their weapons and surrendered—a stormy sweeping battle ended in an instant. The Feng army won a complete victory, and the Zhijun army was wiped out! The surprise attack was successful, and Guo Songling swung forward to attack Shanhaiguan with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.At this time, the Zhao and Qi brigades who had moved to the two wings also charged bravely and quickly occupied the Pioneer Battalion and Beacon Terrace.The defenders fled to the south one after another. All the gates on the Great Wall of the Zhijun were opened by the Fengjun. The Fengjun took advantage of the victory and chased after them. Guo Songling left a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield, take in the prisoners, and concentrate the army to attack the important town of Haiyang! Led by Zhang Zongchang and Li Jinglin, the Fengjun Second Army going down from Rehenan successively occupied Chaoyang and Lingyuan, and captured tens of thousands of direct troops along the way.Zhang Zongchang adapted it as he received it, and they all became his own team. With the momentum of breaking through, they broke through the cold and really took Luanzhou... After Feng Yuxiang's third army started from Changping, it still moved northward at a slow pace.When the troops arrived at Gubeikou, it was the fourteenth day after Wu Peifu issued the marching order, that is, October 1.Gubeikou, an important town outside the Great Wall, is located in the lower reaches of the Ningchao River, at the top of the Miyun Mountains. It is a relatively desolate town.Feng Yuxiang's troops did not enter the town, but only set up tents on a hillside about one kilometer west of the town.After the army was stationed, Feng Yuxiang led several members of the guard to the rear of the team. Feng Yuxiang's Third Army consisted of five brigades, and he divided his troops into echelon formations: the first was Zhang Zhijiang's brigade, followed by Song Zheyuan's brigade, Liu Yufen's brigade, Li Mingzhong's brigade, and finally Lu Zhonglin's brigade.Feng Yuxiang came to the deer brigade at the back of the palace, and he only exchanged a few words and turned back at any time.When he turned around and walked back, he asked Lu Zhonglin: "I assigned you a task, how did you complete it?" "I have arranged for the heads of counties and districts along the way, and asked them to widen the road." "Have you checked?" "Inspected. Everything was done according to the order." Lu Zhonglin said: "Those county and district chiefs don't understand that the army has already passed, why should the road be widened and strengthened?" "How did you answer?" "Good answer. Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chencang!" Feng Yuxiang smiled. "From today onwards, your department will mainly practice marching towards Beijing. You can be fully armed or unarmed." When Feng Yuxiang returned to his tent, people reported, "There is a man named Jia Deyao who lives in Gubeikou and wants to see the general." Feng Yuxiang thought for a while, and knowing that it was Duan Qirui's representative, he hurriedly sent his own car to pick him up.The two talked all night long in the tent.When Jia Deyao left, Feng Yuxiang sent his confidant Tian Xiongfei to accompany Jia to Tianjin to meet Duan... Just after Jia Deyao left, Feng Yuxiang sent people back to Beijing to invite Zhang Shusheng, the director of communications, and Ma Bingnan, the director of Zhang Zuolin's Beijing office. Gubeikou... On October 12, Feng Yuxiang arrived in Luanping, Rehe Province.Due to the passing of Mabingnan, the main force of Fengjun Chifeng has been transferred to Shanhaiguan, and the frontal battle will not be fierce. Feng Yuxiang simply camped here to wait for changes. It was when Feng Yuxiang was thinking about his next move in Luanzhou that Jiang Hongyu, who he stayed in Beijing, sent a message saying, "Shanhaiguan is urgent. Wu Peifu has left Beijing for Shanhaiguan, and he will send the third army, the main force stationed in Changxindian, to the Shanhaiguan. Also transferred." Feng was very happy, thinking that Beijing was empty, and there might be an opportunity to take advantage of it.At the same time, Hu Jingyi, who was stationed in Tongzhou, sent a representative to say, "Wu Ziyu has alerted the general and ordered our department to monitor you. Please be vigilant!" Feng Yuxiang had already made an appointment with Hu Jingyi and Sun Yue when he left Beijing. Wu Shi acted together.Feng Yuxiang was excited, he didn't want to go north any more, he wanted to turn back and drive directly to Beijing.He called all the brigade commanders, and said to them straight to the point: "Everyone has been with me for so many years, we have gone through hardships and hardships, and the country has become like this. I really don't know what road it will take you... ..." Everyone understood what the general meant, and they all said: "We must follow the commander-in-chief to the end!" "Okay! I'm announcing the decision now." Feng Yuxiang was refreshed. "Order Lu Zhonglin's department to return to Beijing concurrently, and go to Beiyuan together with Sun Liangcheng and Zhang Weixi's two brigades, and then enter Beijing with Jiang Hongyu's brigade; order Li Mingzhong to lead a brigade to Changxindian to cut off the Beijing-Han and Beijing-Feng railway lines ordered Zhang Zhijiang and Song Zheyuan, who had already arrived in Chengde, to return to Beijing; informed Hu Jingyi to withdraw the troops to Xifengkou to Tongzhou to prevent Wu Peifu from attacking; informed Sun Yue to secretly monitor Cao Kun's guards and Wu Peifu's stay in case something happened Accident. Jingre Avenue was blocked to prevent leakage of information about the class teacher. On October 21, a unit headed to Chifeng quickly returned to Beijing along the original road.On the way back to Beijing, Feng Yuxiang issued a coup power against Cao Wu and changed his army to "National Army of the Republic of China." Wu Peifu held an emergency meeting in Haiyang. He had just arranged a counter-offensive plan across the board, and suddenly received news of Feng Yuxiang's coup. He was very flustered and very angry! He decided to immediately send about 8,000 people from each of the third and twenty-sixth divisions of the main force. Shanhaiguan was dispatched and returned to rescue Beijing to relieve the danger of the old nest-- However, the battle is stalemate, and it is not easy to get out.Since the Feng army took Shimenzhai, they successively seized key passes, and successfully advanced southward. Wu Peifu's team was already defeated.Wu Peifu ordered Zhang Fulai, his direct lineage, to organize a counterattack in the north of Haiyang. As a result, before the deployment was completed, he was beaten by Guo Songling's artillery regiment, unable to gain a foothold, and collapsed.Wu Peifu went into battle in person, commanding with a gun.Unexpectedly, his front-line troops were retreating from the west, north, and east. They stumbled, crying and shouting, and became a flock of frightened crows! Fengjun flew over again.Wu Peifu could no longer control his troops.Just as he was looking around in panic, an armored car flew towards him.Someone in the car yelled: "Master, get out of the dangerous place!" Shouting, several people jumped out of the car and pushed Wu Peifu into the car, and the car drove towards Qinhuangdao... Wu Peifu was defeated from Qinhuangdao and returned to Tianjin. The remnants of the defeated army were about to gather around Yangcun, and he asked for help from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan and other provinces.Unexpectedly, Zheng Shiqi in Shandong declared neutrality, sent troops to Cangzhou and Machang, and sent troops south to blow up the railway near Hanzhuang on Jinpu Road; Yan Xishan in Shanxi also sent troops to Shijiazhuang to cut off the Beijing-Han Railway.The Beijing-Han and Jinpu reinforcements that Wu Peifu wanted were prevented from coming, and Feng Yuxiang forced him to be urgent.In desperation, Wu Peifu had no choice but to lead more than 2,000 remnants of the remnant to board the Huajia transport ship and float southward.This is the end of the Second Zhifeng War.That night, after discussing with Jiang Hongyu, Lu Zhonglin and Jiang Hongyu dispatched a regiment to enter the city of Beijing with hundreds of carts under the pretext of receiving supplies, and the carts were full of weapons.They gathered at the place left behind by Chantan Temple, and by twelve o'clock, they occupied the Telegraph Building, Telephone Office, and Railway Station.Lu Zhonglin rushed to Andingmen quickly, Sun Yue opened the city gate, and the team entered the city all the way, fortified all the way until Tiananmen.Lu set up the headquarters in Taimiao and guarded the presidential palace at any time. At dawn the next day, Beijing woke up, and Cao Kun woke up. However, the thoroughfare and the presidential palace were full of soldiers. They all wore patches on their arms, which read "Do not disturb the people, truly love the people, and swear to save the country" . When Cao Kun learned that Feng Yuxiang had staged a coup, he panicked. He wanted to follow Zhang Xun's old path - to escape to the Dutch embassy.But he couldn't move anymore, the presidential palace was already surrounded by Lu Zhonglin's large corps.Sun Yue, the newly appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the national army and commander of the third army, led the guards into the presidential palace and imprisoned Cao Kun in Yanqing building.Afterwards, he was forced to do what he was going to do: to issue an order of "the armies of the former enemy will cease fighting on their own"; Issued the order "Wu Peifu was removed from the inspection tour of Shandong and Henan" and the commander of the third division, and was reassigned as the supervisor of reclamation affairs in Qinghai. On November 1, Feng Yuxiang rushed to Yanqing Building, and Cao Kun was given 24 hours to resign as President and move out of the Presidential Palace; the next day, Lu Zhonglin, the commander-in-chief of Beijing's security, came to the Presidential Palace and asked him to hand over the presidential seal .Cao Kun panicked. He knew that as soon as Yin was handed over, everything about him would be over, including his huge family property.He cried. Crying was useless, so he had to hand over the 15 seals of the President that he snatched from Li Yuanhong a year ago, and issued the following telegram: The president of this country bears the weight of the people's entrustment. Since he took office, he has been competing with each other from time to time, hoping to establish something to comfort the hope of the people of the country.It's not like the current situation is too limited, the virtues are weak, the ability is weak, the recent relapse is ill, and the energy is exhausted, it is really difficult to overcome this arduous task.The only way to avoid the virtuous way is to thank the people of the country.I would like to sincerely resign from the position of President of your house. Please check the photo for reasonable consultation, and this consultation with the House of Representatives. Feng Yuxiang negotiated with all parties in Beijing, and agreed that Huang Yu would be in charge of organizing the Regency Cabinet, and then planned to invite Duan Qirui to come out to take power temporarily, and telegraphed Mr. Sun Yat-sen to go north to discuss politics. Feng Yuxiang succeeded in the coup. He not only kicked out the bribed president Cao Kun, but also drove Puyi, the last emperor of China, out of the Forbidden City. When Zhang Zuolin got the news from Beijing in Fengtian, his lungs exploded.He patted the table and cursed loudly: "I lost my entire family and defeated Wu Peifu, and the surname Feng entered Beijing to sit in the world. What the hell is there to do such a cheap thing in the world? I don't agree, I want to drive him away!" "
