Chapter 524: Towards Peace Talk (2)
Sorry, the boss led the team to the townships below to do publicity... Chapter 2 is delivered in the second half of the night, and there will definitely be a second one to go to bed tonight
Wuchang General Staff is brightly lit. As the general command center of the National Protection War, it has been busy since the war started. Although the frontline war stopped for a while, because the frontline battle situation is progressing smoothly, everyone is full of enthusiasm for work. Today, Li Han is also in the General Staff. He is here to deploy some of the most important combat plans.
"Don't Tang Xingming express his opinion yet?"
Jiang Fangzhen put down a telegram, "Is it because the chips we have issued are too low?"
There is no eternal enemy in politics. Jiang Fangzhen has followed Li Han for so long and has already understood this sentence very thoroughly.
"The chief of the Navy is still low. Do you want me to give him the President of the Republic of China?" Li Han snorted. Since his chief of intelligence killed Yuan Shikai by himself, he hurriedly returned to Wuchang from Hunan. He knew that the south could no longer fight, so he simply took charge of Wuchang to deal with the current domestic corruption situation.
"I have released Tang Hualong, and letting him meet Tang Xingming in the past is the best choice. This Tang brother will not be able to see the current domestic situation. Who else can afford the navy besides me?"
"I'm worried that Tang Hualong is now resentful."
Li Han stopped talking, frowned slightly and walked slowly for two steps, and laughed, "There is no eternal enemy in politics. I am still optimistic about this person. He is a smart person. Unfortunately, he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. It is not a good thing for him to calm down for a year. Besides, Tang Xingming is not only willing to surrender, so what if Tang Xingming is not willing to surrender. In name, he is the deputy commander of the navy to command the navy's southward fleet this time, but we have psychological advantages over the navy. Half of the warships were captured by us last year. If it weren't for the national justice, the navy would have changed its name long ago, and he would have been sensible, otherwise he would have started to pick it up from below. I believe there would always be some naval generals who understand the truth."
He didn't want to continue talking on this topic, but suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Henan, how are Shanxi preparing? Have the materials on the front line followed up? Duan Qirui was a tough soldier. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to adapt politically. I was worried that I would not be able to do it again after taking the initiative to convey the meaning of peace talks to the UK. As a result, he left me an excuse for the front line to prepare almost the same materials. Didn't he ask us to withdraw from Henan, Shanxi?
Li Jishen, Ma Rongcheng, Xiong Bingkun, Zhang Guoquan is time to move. He Zonglian's first division is temporarily staying in Henan and Jiangsu. He ordered Ji Yulin to defeat Wang Zhanyuan's troops in Zhenjiang, and ordered the 15th Division of Chuzhou to attack Nanjing. He wiped out all the strongholds outside Nanjing. He ordered Wang Anlan's third division to attack Xuzhou. He did not require full efforts, but at least he would severely damage the seventh division... We must make the whole country clear about one thing. We accept peace talks, not a plea, but... alms."
"Yes, our army is currently in the following location: Commander Li's 10th Division has been staying in Handan for many days, the 30th Brigade stayed in Henan, responsible for guarding the safety along the Jinghan Railway, Commander Ma's 8th Division, Commander Zhang's 14th Division is resting and replenishing supplies on the front line of Luoyang. Among them, the 14th Division has sent 40th Brigades into Shanxi to take over Taiyuan. If necessary, we can completely transfer all the railway and river transportation to Zhili Province within two days. The main force of Commander Xiong's Fifth Division in Zhili Province has arrived in Datong. The 14th Brigade has also made a feint attack in the direction of Niangziguan. It has attracted Tang Yulin's troops of the 15th Division of Zhili, if necessary, to launch an attack on Zhili from Niangziguan at any time...."
Jiang Fangzhen briefly led Zhili, and briefly described the arrangement of troops near Jiangsu. Li Han pondered for a while, "Tell the front line that this battle was a defeat war, and defeated the Northern Army as much as possible instead of annihilation. To grasp the degree, we must not hurt the Northern Army, but we cannot let it hurt. It is still difficult for our twenty divisions to defend the Republic of China. If we have peace talks, our National Defense Forces will inevitably absorb some Northern Army soldiers. In the final analysis, it is just to force the Northern Army to go to the negotiating table immediately."
"yes"
"What is the situation of captured soldiers in Henan and Shanxi Province?"
"The 12th Division, the Fifth Division, and the Third Division captured in Henan Province are over 40 years old, with bad habits, and disabled people, and weak people have basically been dismissed. The officers also follow your instructions to eliminate those who rely on relationships and old thoughts as much as possible. The rest of the officers are registered and have been registered. Currently, they have passed through both water and land routes. More than 14,000 people have been escorted to southern Shaanxi and undergo renovation in northern Hubei. It is expected that they will become the main force of our army in three to five months."
Li Han was satisfied, "There are many veterans of the Northern Army who have received hard training for several years. Perhaps the equipment and consciousness are much worse than ours, but the quality of individual soldiers is still the best in China. Now, Yuan Shikai, the backbone of the Northern Army, left, we can take the opportunity to absorb more elite soldiers of the Northern Army. I still said the same thing, pay attention to strict control, and never let some bad customs and problems of the Northern Army be absorbed. The teaching team will work harder."
"yes"
"In addition, I send a command to let the Navy release a clear text of the power-up in my name as follows..."
"First, given the erosion of the domestic situation, the national defense void may lead to the foreign land taking the opportunity to rob our seas. Therefore, all naval ships should resume normal patrol as soon as possible to protect our vast seas of tens of thousands of miles. Immediately order all naval forces to change their courses and go to Shanghai Port to receive supplies, which has already been fully equipped and convenient for fleet mooring. Second, from now on, the fleet is temporarily nominally protected* On the same day, the Wuchang Ministry of Finance issued an announcement announcing that it would allocate 5 million silver dollars to Shanghai Construction Bank to pay the military pay owed by the Navy and the Northern Army of various departments.
On April 6, the defender of Zhili, Jiangsu launched a full-scale attack, concentrating all four aviation squadrons, two chariot regiments and nearly 120,000 troops. From the attack for a long time to the evening of the eighth day, in just two days and nights, the second division of King Zhanyuan of Zhenjiang was defeated by fierce artillery fire, and abandoned Zhenjiang in a panic and retreated to Yangzhou. Nanjing Yuhuatai Fort, Fuguishan Fort was tragically plowed, and there was no ten positions outside Nanjing. Feng Guozhang was shocked and ordered to close the front and defend Nanjing city to the north line. Xuzhou Seventh Division was attacked by Wang Anlan Third Division. Although Xuzhou City was not broken, the Grand Canal was cut off by the Third Division. The soldiers in Jiangsu Province were cut off to the north and south ends and lost contact.
The most tragic one is the First Army of the Northern Army in Zhili. Although Wang Shizhen ordered the blow-up of the Beijing-Han Railway along the way to prevent the progress of the 10th Division, Li Jishen had considered this a long time ago and used the dense waterways in Zhili Province to reach Jizhou for two days and nights, and defeated a brigade of the Northern Army along the way. Of course, the reason why he could advance so quickly was that the 14th Brigade of the Fifth Division of Shanxi left Niangzi Pass and launched a feint attack on the Third Division stationed in Shijiazhuang and was shocked.
Then he could only conquer his troops and attempt to stop the progress of the 14th Brigade. Because of the insufficient intelligence collection, the First Army obviously could not take care of each other. As a result, the 10th Division's front line quickly captured the entire southwestern Zhili area and Datong Prefecture. Xiong Bingkun personally led the main force of the Fifth Division to launch a powerful offensive against the remnants of the Northern Army in Panwochahar Special District. He captured Zhang Yuan for a day and night, and pushed the storm to less than 400 miles away from Beijing.
Not only that, in order to implement Li Han's request to strengthen his momentum, the General Staff took advantage of the lack of troops in Shandong's troops to defend against air, so he ordered the 14th Division's Light Army Brigade to use water to transport express troops to surround Jinan and surround the Shandong capital.
The military government not only takes action in military affairs, but also continues to strengthen its momentum in other aspects, forcing the Beijing government to accept the peace talks as soon as possible. On April 7, Li Han issued a telegram across the country, saying that in view of the country's lack of defense, he ordered the allocation of 24 million army expansion costs to expand the army. According to the telegram, his national defense army will complete the total expansion of 50 divisions by the end of the year, and will complete the training in one year to make it combat-capable. He also issued a convening order to young people in various provinces across the country to encourage young people to arrive at the provincial controlled by the provinces under his command.
On the second day, Wuchang issued an announcement announcing that it would offer a reward of 47 people, including extremely militant factions led by Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen, who undermined the domestic peace situation. Announcement that capturing Duan Qirui and other three prisoners would receive a reward of up to one million silver dollars. No matter who kills three people in the country, he can bring three people's heads to receive a huge reward of up to 800,000 yuan. In the afternoon, the reward quota was expanded to 127 ministers and officials of the Beijing government cabinet, shocking the whole country because the total amount of the reward amount was as high as tens of millions of yuan.
In the midst of panic in Beijing, all of them were scared by Li Han's methods, who showed his heroes.
This naturally cannot immediately cause the Northern Army to collapse, but the army's morale has become a decisive army, whether it is the First Army in Zhili Province or the Beijing city, the dissatisfaction with Duan Qirui and the cabinet is getting louder and louder. Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang personally sent Beijing to request that the peace talks be accepted immediately. Feng Guozhang was angry and blamed Duan Qirui for going to Beiyang Foundation. He ignored that night. The seventeen generals of the First Army followed Feng Guozhang and others forcing the Qing court to abdicate, forcing Duan Qi to force Duan Qi to abdicate that night.
Rui immediately announced the peace talks. In the early morning of the 10th, the Guards of the Capital launched a turmoil. Although the two battalions of the uprising were suppressed by other guards and Zhang Zuolin's 16th Division, under various crises... Duan Qirui, who seemed to be over 10 years old in just a few days, finally lowered his head. He personally took a carriage to the British Embassy in Dongjiaominxiang early on the 10th, begging British Minister Bart to deal with it on his behalf and coordinate the peace talks between the north and the south.
