Chapter 18 Southern Expedition Order (1)

Even though there are tears, there will be a separation. Liu Jingxiao left Beijing crying. Along the way, he could only tell Guo Junqing his feelings for Yan Aoshuang. Guo Junqing was very ideal.

The return journey was very smooth. However, in Wuhan, the Hubei Governor Wu Xinguang heard that Liu Jingxiao passed by Wuhan and specially invited celebrities from Hubei Province to welcome Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao repeatedly expressed his admiration for Wu Governor Wu, which made Wu fall into his maze formation and used Liu Jingxiao as his Sichuan-Europe Great Wall.

Then he took a boat to Yichang. After Liu Jingxiao returned to the army, everyone felt that Liu Jingxiao had a new feeling, and was very energetic when doing things, and was indescribable.

The division headquarters' business was not there, and Chen Ce, the deputy chief of staff, dared not make decisions on many things, so it was stopped for a while. As soon as Liu Jingxiao returned to the division headquarters, he handled the matter in an orderly manner. Then he summoned the entire division to announce the change of the number to the 17th Division of the CSKA.

While the whole division was cheering, Liu Jingxiao put in another effort to win people's hearts. The officers and soldiers who were afraid of were given a new military uniform and a pair of leather shoes. The promotion to the rank of the military. Some veterans of the Dingbian Army were unable to be promoted to officers for a while, so Liu Jingxiao promoted them to the chief of sergeants. The military pay of the Dingbian Army was linked to the rank, so the officers and soldiers were very happy.

Liu Jingxiao's policy is to demand both soldiers and officials. He knew the importance of cadres to the army. He sent several regiment commanders a month's military pay. The next big thing is: a test.

During the old Ding Border Army, there was a complete system. Each unit had to report the headquarters' strength report at the beginning and mid-month period, and the distribution of materials and military pay was based on the strength report. However, after arriving in Hubei, wars were frequent and the troops were expanded significantly, so this system is now very unsound.

Now Liu Jingxiao's method is to check each other's troops. The final result made Liu Jingxiao quite satisfied. Although there was a shortage of weapons personnel, the gap was not big. The next thing was to rebuild discipline. Each battalion and company had its own system, such as diaries in the formation, combat reports, etc. Liu Jingxiao all equipped the troops with complete provisions.

After his arrest, the years of the entire division have been completely renewed. The veteran cadres of the Dingbian Army saw it and felt very gratifying. Now the division commander is so energetic, are he afraid that he can't lead the troops well?

Although Liu Jingxiao was so resolute and decisive about the matter, it was like a gentle drizzle when it really fell. This time I returned to Beijing to recuperate, I could say that I got twice the result with half the effort.

Don't think that he is busy with business, he is considerate about his wives. Moreover, what the three wives are puzzled is that Liu Jingxiao seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and the three of them couldn't suppress him in bed.

It was beyond Liu Jingxiao's expectations. The little nun Dingyin shed tears when she saw Liu Jingxiao, as if she had seen a heartless man. She also said, "Jingxiao, why did you come back..."

But this little nun was filled with beauty everywhere, which made a big pervert feel fascinated and wanted to force the king to take action. Fortunately, Guo Junqing was by his side, so his true face was not revealed.

Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao made every decision and bought gifts for the four ladies and four team leaders in the capital. The little nun took the gift, and the clouds cleared and the mist dissipated. A smiling face leaned on Liu Jingxiao's shoulder.

However, Liu Jingxiao could see that the little nun did not have a secret love for him, but just felt snuggling from the bottom of his heart, and innocence. This is exactly the case. However, this little nun is so beautiful that Liu Jingxiao naturally wanted to hide in the golden house and pick it slowly when she matures in the future.

However, now he is a celebrity in front of Premier Duan. Duan Tiemin sent telegrams from time to time to seek his opinions. He looked up and said, "Teacher Liu Jingxiao:..." He is very polite. Of course, the consultation is false, but in fact he wants him to support his own proposition. Liu Jingxiao's current policy is that if Premier Duan supports, Liu Jingxiao firmly supports it. If Premier Duan opposes, Liu Jingxiao must wait and see before expressing his opinions.

There are two hot issues now, one is the issue of declaration of war. The declaration of war is blocked in Congress. Of course, this is not because Congress opposes declaration of war. Congress members have no disgust towards Capelsu, but just Duan Tiemin's methods are disgusted.

Another thing is the old problem. Hunan Governor Fu Yu has already set out to Hunan to take office, but this Governor's position, according to the call from Xiong Xi's representative in Changsha, is probably very problematic.

First of all, the Southwest expressed 120,000 opposition to Fu Jing's appointment. This is a natural thing. Hunan is the gateway to the southwest, and it can be said to be the key between the north and the south. If Fu Jing was replaced by Hunan, the gateway would be opened in the southwest. The Northern Army would arrive day and night, and it would be easy to attack any province in the southwest. Therefore, Hunan's orders were made, with Guangdong's military governor Mo Di as the leader. The six southwest provinces issued a telegram saying: "Talking about the supervision of people and things, and has made outstanding achievements in Hunan for many years... I hope the central government will consider it again..."

Duan Tiemin immediately replied: "When talking about the governor's diligence and love for the people, the military is not a good thing. It is better to do civil affairs... Today's literati cannot command troops, which has become a common law in various countries... Hunan customs are strong, and if they are good at using them, they will be strong to defend the country. Otherwise, they will ascend to the throne and continue to harm them. Therefore, they are military plans and Hunan Province. They are not capable of knowing the skills of the people who are proficient in changes, and cannot control and control... Fu Benxiang people, who are familiar with emotions, are wise and skillful, should be the best candidates..."

Although this call for reply was polite, it defeated the hope of the southwest. All provinces in the southwest knew that the Xiang Province’s Yidu was the prelude to the southern expedition, and they all felt a pain, so they concentrated their troops and were ready to aid Hunan at any time.

Tan Yan was also extremely disappointed with the central government. He gave up an empty city in Changsha to ask Governor Fu to take office, preparing his first division to retreat to southern Hunan and the second division to western Hunan. However, Chen Chufu, the commander of the Second Division, was dissatisfied with Tan Yan and secretly colluded with the Northern Army. He refused to obey the orders, Tan had to lead his troops to retreat to southern Hunan.

Fu Yu soon went to Changsha to take over the position of governor of Hunan, which formed a strange phenomenon. The governor was in Changsha and the governor was in southern Hunan, and the military and political affairs were not in the same place. Even stranger Fu had to find an office place after entering Changsha. It turned out that Tan Yan had to sell all his official property as military expenses, and even the original governor's office was no exception.

It’s just Duan Tiemin said that Tan Yan “only military is not so-called.” This is the truth. This senior Tan is very famous in the Hunan military, but once he reaches the position of the governor, he will definitely encounter a situation of arrogant soldiers. He has only been in charge of the governor for a month and has offended a large group of Hunan soldiers, including one of his brigade commanders Tao Zuowu.

The first division of the Hunan Army was in charge of two brigades. Tao Zuowu and Lin Meixiu were assigned to brigade commanders. However, the division commander also had a conflict at this time and left Guangdong. When Tao Zuowu saw that the new supervisor was in office, he immediately changed his master.

The new general was a "knowing the world and making changes" and "understanding and practicing" in Duan Tiemin's mouth, but in fact he was a person who was afraid of the world's chaos. He declared that he would not bring troops into Hunan, so he could be said to have come to Changsha with bare hands and fists. However, he quickly recruited Chen Chufu's troops from the Second Division of Hunan. His courage suddenly became stronger. He also learned that Tao Zuowu came to save in the end, which was even more arrogant.

Since the Hunan Bureau was in control, Duke Fu was about to taste the fruit of victory. He ordered Tao Zuowu to be promoted to the acting commander of the First Division, and removed Lin Meixiu from his position as another brigade commander of the First Division.

Good! Wonderful! The war in the southern expedition that lasted for several years began with the order of Duke Fu. When Lin Meixiu heard that he had been dismissed, he was naturally dissatisfied. He immediately declared independence in southern Hunan. Duke Fu was prepared for this, so he immediately sent Acting Division Commander Tao to lead his first brigade troops to attack southern Hunan.

This is the news that the Military Horse Statistics Department found out from Changsha. Section Chief Xiong also said: "The war between Fu and Duke Fu was confident in conquering the southern Hunan, but the morale of the Hunan Army was unstable... It may not be as he wished..."

The facts proved that Xiong Xi's analysis was correct. Within two days, news came from Changsha that Acting Commander Tao ran back to Changsha alone. Then Du Fu sent a telegram and said: "The First Brigade does not want to attack the Hunanese with Hunanese, and voluntarily retires from the army, so he should be immediately approved..."

However, Fu Du was deceiving himself. It turned out that the Hunanese did not attack the Hunanese. Before Acting Commander Tao led his troops to attack Hunan, all the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade had already gone to the Second Brigade. In the end, only Acting Commander Tao was left shouting for the soldiers loudly, but he found nothing. Acting Commander Tao was immediately scared and turned around and ran away.

However, the Hunan Army has not yet had the strength to counterattack Changsha, so Duke Fu has fulfilled his promise of "not bringing troops into Hunan", and the troops of the Eighth Division have already arrived directly in Changsha.

Who said that Duke Fu broke his promise? According to Duke Fu's telegram, "The mob abused southern Hunan. At the request of the Hunan people, the Eighth Division had to enter Hunan to quell the rebellion..." In this telegram, Tan Yan had become a "mob", and then the Northern Army continued to go straight to Hunan through Chen Yunjie's defense zone.

Liu Jingxiao also knew that this battle had nothing to do with him on the surface, but in fact it had something to do with his family and family. Entering Hunan was the beginning of the southern expedition, and Duan Tiemin, a unit of more than 10,000 people, must have wanted to be useful. There may be two choices for the 17th Division, one is to conquer Hunan and the other is to conquer Sichuan.

But neither of these two are the best strategies, and can be said to be a waste of effort. The problem is not how strong the military strength these two provinces are, but the fact that the alliances in the southwestern provinces are extremely terrible. At that time, with Mu Tiehan's talent, the southern expedition could not be successful. What's more, Duan Tiemin, who was in a dispute over the government and court, earned nearly 100 million yuan in Guangdong every year, and could mobilize troops known as more than 200 regiments in the southwest. How could the southern expedition be successful?

Moreover, if you want to fight against the fierce Hunan army in Hunan, it is not the best strategy to enter Sichuan. Although the Sichuan army is weak, the terrain in Sichuan is good, but the defense is not good for attack. When I was not investigating and handling the envoys in Sichuan, I had promised not to enter Sichuan again. Besides, Shen Xianqiao and Xu Rubing are both from Sichuan, so I will definitely oppose my entry into Sichuan. At that time, the struggle at home will not look good, and more importantly, I took Sichuan, and the final profiter may not be myself.

Since he is in this attitude, Liu Jingxiao is very careful in his speech now.
