Chapter 50 Fluctuations (6)
Yuchen was still lying on the bed, listening to Lu Fengqiao reporting to him the movements of the four thousand town troops of Bai Wenmo. On December 30th, the town troops were approaching Suxian and would arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow morning at the latest. Now, the Hesui Detachment and Chen Shanhe Detachment have left for one day and recovered them. It will take two days no matter what.
Wu Cai sat on the chair next to Yuchen, with a serious expression: "Teacher Commander, I didn't expect that people would be so shameless. Bai Liewu was clearly here to eat us. He was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the Northern Expedition, and our First Division should be controlled by him. Now Xuzhou has 3,000 people in the teaching regiment, and they are 4,000 veterans. What are your plans?"
Lu Fengqiao cursed: "I have fought all the way through bloody battles. They want to take advantage of our army to come north to pick up the cheap. Division commander, as long as you give an order, I will get stuck on Zhangbao and see how they will defeat Zhangbao!"
Yuchen just smiled faintly.
Lei Fen actually incited Bai Wenmo to go north, which he did not expect. It seemed that Mr. Zhang Ji was surprisingly ambitious. Mr. Zhang Ji went back to Nanjing first, and he would probably be so angry that he would jumped when he heard this news on the way.
The room was quiet and waiting for Yuchen to make up his mind. His injury really made everything happen.
In fact, Yuchen has been insisting on handling things these days, releasing the two detachments, leaving only the teaching group he recruited and built by himself to stay in Xuzhou, in order to stabilize the morale of the military at the fundamental level, and he is relieved to be loyal to the teaching group. So he is prepared to recover from his wounds in Xuzhou and wait for the changes in the situation.
Bai Wenmo took the name and the 4,000 troops to make his decision. This matter really made him feel a little tricky. In terms of strength, he was not afraid of them. As long as he put two battalions in Zhangbao, he could still block the town army outside Xuzhou. But once the two Northern Expedition troops exchanged fire, what would they think of him? He could not lose any reputation now. It is really impossible to deal with Bai Wenmo and the others.
He didn't know how many fierce ideological struggles he had gone through in his mind. He put them in, but he didn't let them in. The more he was at this time, the more Yuchen reminded himself in his heart to keep calm and be decisive.
Lu Fengqiao could not withstand this long silent atmosphere, so he stood up suddenly: "I will take the troops to Zhangbao! I can't let these villains succeed! The division commander is injured, so I can't bear their anger anymore!"
Yuchen snorted: "Sit down! Who allowed you to go to Zhangbao? Who gave you the right to fire at friendly forces? Most of them are old colleagues from the Ninth Town, so can you release this gun?"
Wu Cai agreed with Lu Fengqiao this time: "Teacher Commander, we have also received Mr. Zhongshan's telegram, but he will be the president of the government immediately. Bai Liewu and others didn't even listen to Mr. Zhongshan's orders. Why should we be polite to them? The title is on our side!"
Yuchen smiled silently, looking a little tired: "Forget it, it's only three things. I gave it to Shanghai once, I gave it to Nanjing for the second time, and I let them in again in Xuzhou. People in the world can no longer say what I am Yuchen... I want to see how they can treat me Yu someone! Nian Sun, and sent an order to withdraw the Zhangbao defense and let the town army enter Xuzhou!"
Looking at Yuchen's firm expression, several officers turned around reluctantly. When Wu Cailin went out, he asked Yuchen with a serious expression: "Do you want to hurry up Zhuoran and Wujian to come back?"
Yuchen smiled slightly: "Their war is important, and there is no need to call them back. If even these four thousand town troops can't handle it, I will survive in vain." He looked at Wu Cai and told him solemnly: "Prespect the troops and leave me a company in the hospital. If I send someone to do anything, you must keep your breath and I will give you orders later."
Wu Cai thought for a moment and saw Yuchen nodding at him. Somehow, his mood was a little heavy. They were all the force of the Tongmenghui, the backbone of the south. Do you really want to break up? In any case, this time he followed the commander with his will. He sighed silently and saluted Yuchen hard.
Yuchen half-squinted his eyes and lay on the bed thinking about his thoughts. Let Bai Liewu and the others take action first? This is a bit dangerous. But there are many benefits. But how can I ensure that I can control the situation? However, these things always need to be faced. Let them do it. Let me see what my Yuchen methods are.
Thinking of this, he pressed the bell to call Bai Siwen in.
Bai Wenmo and his train entered Xuzhou Station at dusk on the 30th. They stood solemnly on both sides of the platform, teaching the regiment soldiers with a very bad look. Each of them had a bayonet on their guns, and they were covered with cold light on their backs.
Bai Wenmo looked at the soldiers and just snorted contempt.
The train slowly slid into the platform. The soldiers of the town soldiers who were silenced behind stood silently at the door of the car, looking at the soldiers of the First Division in Huang Junyi. Both sides looked serious, and sparks seemed to splash out in the air at any time.
Bai Wenmo walked out of the car arrogantly first. He wore a neat military uniform and shone the stars. His horse boots with spurs made the train pedals jingle. He slowly wore white gloves on himself: "Welcome me, the commander of the army with such a big formation? Is there any officer there?"
Lu Fengqiao walked over with full arms, with a pistol on his waist and a wide open head. He walked towards Bai Liewu with an impeccable military posture and saluted him with a stern face: "Lu Fengqiao, the commander of the First Division Teaching Corps, welcomed Commander Bai on behalf of Commander Yu!"
Bai Liewu was still kind to him, smiled and bowed, looking at the pistol on his waist: "Teacher Yu is injured and sent you to greet him. I'm really too polite... Why is Commander Lu fully armed? Do you think we are enemies?"
Lu Fengqiao said coldly: "We received a telegram from Mr. Zhongshan today. We thought that the head of the Bai army had been transferred to Mengcheng. Suddenly, we heard that a train was entering the station. We didn't know what kind of troops it was, so we were naturally on guard."
His words are always tough, and colleagues of the First Division have become accustomed to them. But Bai Wenmo was a little uncomfortable with him. He glanced around and saw that the subordinates of the teaching regiment were like their leader, all of whom were as heavy as water. Lu Fengqiao said in his words that he violated Sun Yat-sen's orders, so how could he not hear it!
Lei Fen walked off the train with a smile. He was wearing a long gown and his hair was neatly combed. Although he had been on the train for so long, he still looked refreshed. Lu Fengqiao had a lot of dealings with him when he was in Nanjing. He had a good impression of this middle-aged man who was very caring about him, but this time he was extremely disgusted with him with the army. He pretended not to see him when he came down, but just stared at Bai Wenmo.
Lin Shuqing never got off the train.
Lei Fen walked towards Lu and Bai, who were dead there, and smiled and said, "Captain Lu, your First Division has worked so hard. Commander Bai and us came here, and wanted to let Commander Yu and his brothers rest. Don't misunderstand anything... Commander Bai, the brothers of the First Division are still guarding like this at the station. There are some garrison tasks, so our army should not wait for others to say, just go ahead for them. We are all a family, so why bother with each other?"
Bai Wenmo reluctantly smiled and waved to the back. With the scattered copper whistles from the lower-level officers leading the team, the town army jumped off the train and then seized the station building, dispatch room and other key positions. The soldiers of the teaching regiment were pushed and shoved by them, but they all gave in. Blood was almost dripping from their eyes.
Lu Fengqiao looked at all this and his chest was fluctuating violently. He finally nodded: "Captain Bai, Senator Lei. Since the security mission at the station has been handed over, welcome all the tasks are completed. The First Infantry Teaching Battalion of the First Division Teaching Regiment requested evacuation."
Bai Wenmo said coldly: "Please allowance." He really didn't feel polite to a small team leader.
Watching Lu Fengqiao and his soldiers evacuate the railway station in a neat fourth-way column. Lei Fen stood beside Bai Wenmo and said softly: "Brother Liewu, what do you think?"
Bai Wenmo looked solemn: "Yuchen is not such a person who is easily annoyed. Kewen suffered his loss that day... They made it too straightforward and could not find his bottom." Lei Fen looked around, and the guards would disperse intently, leaving a quiet space for the two of them in the chaotic environment of the railway station.
"Yuchen is a man who always takes the initiative, as if he knows the next step of his opponent. Brother Liewu, you said this well. He is not that easy to suffer losses, but this time he seems to want to take action... This is really not his strength. Let's learn from him once, step by step, don't give him a chance to turn over! Tomorrow, when he visits him in the hospital, he will take him up! Look at where to send him to Nanjing in Shanghai and let him be his short-selling hero! I will arrange it if Zhang Ji Lao. After seeing this, Nanjing has become a fait accompli, and he will only recognize it. If not much, we must take advantage of the main force of the First Division, we must act quickly. Maybe the day after tomorrow, He Sui and Chen Shanhe will come back!"
He looked confident and continued to persuade Bai Wenwei: "Brother Liewu will occupy Anhui and Brother Songting will occupy northern Jiangsu. We will contact Zhu Rui in Zhejiang. Then the situation in the southeast will be our world. At that time, Brother Liewu will continue to fight the northern expedition and form a group with the military strength of the three provinces. It is no more than those in the loose sands of the Tongmenghui? My teacher always wants to compromise with Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai is a good person. If he really wants to keep the situation firm, we can only go into exile overseas! This chaotic era is a great opportunity for you and me."
Bai Liewu looked at the train, but Lin Shuqing still refused to get out of the train. He and Lei Fen walked casually at the station, and the guards followed him. He was so excited by Lei Fen's words that he was so excited that he failed in Anhui and came to Nanjing. However, the figures of the Tongmenghui were lukewarm about this general without soldiers, which made him completely disappointed. It was still under Lei Fen's mediation, and with the conflict between Lin Shuqing and Xu Guqing, he asked him to take over the army. His gratitude to Lei Fen is hard to describe.
This time Lei Fen took him to take over the First Division again, and he would become the number one general of the constitutional faction in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. With people like Lei Fen to come up with advice, how can he not establish his achievements in Bai Liewu? As for his loyalty under the Tongmenghui, he had been in the forefront of his life and death, he had long been left behind.
He smiled and looked at Lei Fen: "Brother Xintian, it is said that Yang Xizi is an unparalleled Chinese imperial skills, but he didn't know that there was another you in the south."
Lei Fen looked faint: "I don't look like him, I like to show up. I just don't want to miss any opportunity. Yang Xizi, I will meet him after all."
On the evening of December 30, the town army scattered in Xuzhou City, seizing various key points in Xuzhou. The teaching group was ordered to give in and was divided by the town army everywhere. There was only one company of soldiers left behind in the Xuzhou Youth Association Hospital where Yuchen was located. In Xuzhou City, soldiers from both sides were tense and almost fired guns to each other.
