Chapter 24 The Shandong Issue

However, the attack on Feng Li did not stop for a moment. Guanshanhe was not a soldier at Pukou, and whose territory was Jiangsu? The envoy behind this scene knew at a glance that Zhang Woshuai, led by the bandit gangster of the Four Provinces, sent a telegram: "Aiding Hunan is the top priority... No aiding Hunan cannot save the country... The current national criminals instigated the Guan brigade to stop the troops... It is extremely shameless... Everyone can kill them..."

The generals who usually say "What I am handsome and say really wins my heart" also used a two-faced method. One message was to echo Zhang Ke, and the other was to accuse the President of the Communist Party of China. Everyone had to consider President Feng's belly.

You should know that although this telegram does not have the name of the White House master, "Everyone can kill him" will make Feng even an angry person, let alone now that he is the president's emperor and the direct leader, how can he withstand such anger!

OK! Good! Good, Zhang Ke! You are not saying, "I am willing to lead the entire army to sweep the south!" Then let you lead troops to the southern expedition. President Feng immediately drafted a telegram. Zhang Ke and Zhang Huiban were promoted to commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition North Route Army, and he would lead his troops to the southern expedition from now on.

This telegram was deeply loved by Premier Duan, and the relationship between the government and the court was greatly alleviated by Feng Li's intention.

He was not the Bandit Suppression Association of the Four Provinces, so he sent telegrams all day long saying: "A killed 3,000 bandits a day...B destroyed 10,000 bandits a day...C defeated more than 30,000 bandits a day..." According to Duan Tiemin's estimate, in recent years, Zhang Ke has killed no less than 20,000 bandits in the southern part of Shandong. It is rare to be a real talent! It is rare to be a talent!

There are many bandits in western Hunan, which has always been a turbulent factor. He went to the poor mountains and rivers in western Hunan to suppress bandits. As for whether he suppressed bandits or impressed bandits, Premier Duan could not control it.

Zhang Ke was born as a small bandit and was later recruited. Later, he was promoted to Duan Tiemin's subordinates and later transferred to the regiment commander. He was also considered a member of the Hubei system. However, among the generals of the Hubei system, he was the one who obeyed Premier Duan and the one who disobeyed Premier Duan the most.

If the sweetness is given, it is a real pug. He shakes his head and tail all day long and can't be obedient anymore. If he can't get a dog's bones, he will immediately change his terrible face. Now it's better. He regards himself as the leader of the army and forms his own power outside the two systems of direct and ears.

The resurgence of the army was indeed Duan Tiemin's acquiescent intention, but Duan Tiemin could not control this group of demons. Now Zhang Ke didn't even care about President Feng and Premier Duan. Duan Tiemin had long wanted to punish him. The original procedure was to discuss and pass the cabinet meeting of the State Council and then hand it over to the president for stamping. Now Feng Li took out a telegram from him and handed it to Duan Tiemin. Duan Tiemin took it over and couldn't help but feel happy and immediately agreed to publish it.

Of course, after Zhang Ke left, this territory could not be cheaper. Shandong Governor Wang Ziqi. The President and Prime Minister each had their own plans. Although Jiangsu is a direct territory, the Haizhou area is the territory of the Hubei army. In order to crack down on Huaiyan salt smuggling, the Hubei army stationed Li Dingyuan's brigade in Haizhou. This is a historical problem. Feng has always wanted to reclaim Haizhou territory. Now it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His meaning is that Li Dingyuan's brigade is transferred to southern Shandong, and Haizhou territory is taken back by Jiangsu.

But for Premier Duan, this idea is absolutely impossible. Isn’t it possible to expand the direct power? Li Dingyuan’s voyage can transfer Shandong Nan, but he cannot hand over the territory of Haizhou. But Wang Ziqi took over such a piece of fat without any effort. This is absolutely impossible. You must know that although Wang Ziqi is a general of the Hubei system, people with strength will definitely not obey him. Duan Tiemin has tasted the cold face several times. When he takes over the territory of Shandong Nan, his waist will be even harder.

The most painful thing is the Zhang Ke and Zhang I-shuai who kept shouting that he wanted to lead troops to support Hunan, even if he had suffered all kinds of hardships, he would never refuse to die." Such fierce and fierce things fell on him and he was stunned. However, he reacted very quickly and was still the same old routine. He had to charge the excise fee and replenish weapons and ammunition. In the end, he also asked to recruit more ten battalions of troops to fight south.

At this time, the President and Prime Minister all gave a reprimand, "Aiding Hunan is the most urgent task... Only aiding Hunan cannot help... The army delayed and failed to advance, and the army was slacked off immediately... The headquarters immediately started the transfer, and then offered a sweet statement: "All supply and military pay can be resolved after it arrives in Hunan!"

However, this is not only a paper threat. Wang Ziqi has long suffered from such a second government in his jurisdiction. Now he can't get a penny in the taxes in southern Shandong and Shandong. He can't interfere with the administration of people. Moreover, Zhang Ke has always had the idea of ​​getting rid of the hat in Jinan, so it would be best to drive it away. However, he immediately ordered his troops to go south along Jinpu.

Besides, Zhang Ke is a "temporary residence", but this temporary residence has been too long. Brother Zhang has been staying in Shandong for too long, for seven years! How much money can Wang Ziqi make on these territories? I must go to Zhang Ke and his wife!

In addition to Wang Ziqi, Li Dingyuan from Haizhou also had actions that were not conducive to Zhang Ke's troops. For a moment, the mighty Zhang Ke was so scared that he made a statement: "The transfer will be started today..." On the other hand, he refused to leave and asked for exemption from the transfer.

Let’s not talk about the messy story of Zhang Ke’s side, let’s talk about the story of Liu Jingxiao’s western Hubei.

Just at the end of February, Liu Jingxiao welcomed another group of guests in Yichang. The leader was an old acquaintance, the personal representative of Premier Duan, Ding Quanfeng, the former secretary-general of the Public Government, and another was Liu Jingxiao's old friend. The government debt guaranteed Xu Zhen and Xu Xiaopang.

Liu Jingxiao was very polite to Ding Quanwei and set up a private banquet to welcome them. He knew that Ding was a key player in front of Duan and had a strong position, so he would have to pay attention to this time.

Ding Yi urged Liu Jingxiao: "Teacher Liu, to be honest, Premier Duan wants to fight in the south, and I don't agree with this matter... But when I stand in my position, I can't help but persuade each other... Now it's still the world of the E-sect, you have to be clear about this... The Prime Minister hopes that you will make a choice as soon as possible!"

Xu Zhen also said: "It's all my own people, so I'll tell the truth! This time you have to do it every time. Premier Duan is using the idea of ​​conquering Hunan and Sichuan. Premier Duan agrees that you stay in western Hubei, but you stop someone from entering Sichuan in western Hubei. Even if you agree to borrow the road... they still have to worry that as soon as they entered Sichuan, you will have a half-hit blow... you must move!"

It can be seen that the little fat man Xu Zhen is not much fatter. Now that he says the word, the flesh on his face moves.

Liu Jingxiao also has difficulties. Now Wu Xinguang has stuck in the Yangtze River and the source of Hunan rice is cut off, so he can only rely on Sichuan rice. However, the price of Sichuan rice is really not cheap, which is a huge expense.

What's more, now it's a situation where you can't live without a single sacrificing situation. Liu Jingxiao's banner is not working well on the Yangtze River. Wu Xinguang set up an inspection office in Hubei, and then with the help of the First Navy Fleet, he investigated and smuggled all day long. To put it bluntly, all kinds of local goods exported from Sichuan make a big profit. The key is that Wu Xinguang has a little advantage in the comparison of strength. He now has 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and the attitude of the Zhi army in southern Hubei has always been unstable. He will definitely suffer a loss when he starts to take action, because he judges the situation and feels that he still needs a complete solution.

Ding Quanwu's words were very soft, and Liu Jingxiao felt very reasonable when he heard it. He said, "Don't call me Commander Liu, Brother Ding, I'm honest, just two years ago, I was just a poor student. Don't say that I was fame and wealth. At that time, I couldn't even take out five o'clock... I started everything empty-handed! Even if I lose all my money now, I'm just starting over again. I don't plan every step of the way like Premier Duan, for fear of losing all the mistakes in one step..."

He said this or not, whether it was hard or not, Ding Quanwei could only ask: "What does Commander Liu mean?"

Liu Jingxiao then played out his trump card, and he said, "Nanzheng will not have a good end... Let's say that, as long as you don't enter Sichuan or Hubei, I am very willing to help Premier Duan!"

Xu Zhen immediately said, "I understand... Jingxiao is not willing to beat the Chinese with the will... It turns out that he is very patriotic and enthusiastic!"

Of course, helping cannot be in vain. Ding Quanwei knew that there was another meaning in Liu Jingxiao's words. Since he gave up the territory in western Hubei, he asked Premier Duan to give him a territory to compensate him. He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "There are many bandits in the middle of Shandong. Since Commander Liu is unwilling to use the Chinese to attack the Chinese, can he lead his troops to suppress the bandits..."

Historical experience has proved that if the bandits were prosecuted and pacified, they would only become more and more, and eventually become a situation where the bandits were in the family. Zhang Ke's basic territory was in the southern part of Shandong, but the mountainous area of ​​Shandong was also considered his jurisdiction. His bandits were pacified in the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong. Now a Liu Heiqi emerged, commanding thousands of bandits to do everything they wanted. His actions were really outrageous. Even the Black Tiger Army could not bear it anymore, and sent a telegram to scold Liu Heiqi loudly.

Now that Liu Ke's troops are about to be transferred south, Zhang Ke's territory is vacant. Southern Shandong is a piece of fat and cannot be put into other people's stomachs. Central Shandong is much inferior, and there are only some mountains. Although it is not as poor as western Hubei, it is also a waste of money and has no way of eating.

But Liu Jingxiao's mind was spinning quickly. Although there was no fat in the mountainous area of ​​Shandong, it was better than western Hubei after all. Moreover, it was on the front line now, which was really dangerous. It would be better to be transferred to Shandong and then talked immediately: "I heard that Liu Bing was harming Shandong for a long time. Jingxiao had long wanted to eliminate harm for the people. Thank you for your accomplishment!"

Ding Quanwu immediately sent Liu Jingxiao's reply to Duan Tiemin, and Duan Tiemin quickly replied: "Teacher Liu is a young hero, and he will definitely be able to defeat the thieves in this battle..." Even if the troops were transferred to Luzhong, it was decided.

However, Liu Jingxiao's troops could not start the transfer immediately. All the thousands of people fartted together and resounded halfway through the sky. What's more, it was such a major event of defense change, so Liu Jingxiao could only find a few regiment commanders and battalion commanders to communicate secretly.

Besides, there are still a lot of troubles, first of all, the issue of the opening fee. Liu Jingxiao originally wanted to pay for it himself, but the fat man Xu Zhen came to pretend to be a public and private person. He also used the public debt guarantee and had the power to mobilize various income as a guarantee for the public debt. He immediately transferred a sum of money from the money and distributed it to Liu Jingxiao's troops in the name of public security expenses.

The soldiers paid two yuan for straw sandals, and the officers gave Cheng Yi ten yuan each. The commanders of each regiment also paid a number of additional home settlement fees. Liu Jingxiao's troops sent a total of less than 30,000 yuan.

Of course, there is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Jingxiao is completely unfavorable to tell his wife. He revealed on the bed that the troops were preparing to transfer to Shandong. The next day, Wanyan Yuzhuo and Shen Xianqiao sold some extra belongings.

It doesn't matter Wanyan Yuzhuo, Xu Rubing is also willing to marry her husband and follow her husband. The little nun Dingyin heard that Liu Jingxiao was going to take him to Shandong to promote the rituals, and she was also happy. Only Chen Xianqiao was a little sad. She grew up in the river and drank the Yangtze River water. Her family's property was also in the river. She really couldn't let go, but her husband wanted to transfer to Shandong far away, so what could she do?

The words of the regiment commanders were not tight, and the rumors about the troops preparing to mobilize the defense zone had spread in the troops.

Duan Tiemin originally planned to let Liu Jingxiao take a boat to Wuhan, then go north along Jinghan Road, then transfer to Henan to Longhai Road, and finally arrive in Shandong along Jinpu Road, but Liu Jingxiao felt that this road was too dangerous. It was difficult to keep an accident when people passed by the territory of so many people. If someone forced himself to surrender, it would be too late to take the medicine for regret at that time.

Besides, the arrangement of the train was also a big problem. When Dingbing the border army headed south, although there was not much baggage, a train could not be blocked, and some people had to take a boat to go south. Now the troops are large and there are more baggage. I am afraid that there will be no more than twenty or thirty trains. Now each train on Pinghan Road is only open to several trains. In this way, the troops will become a long snake formation, and it will be very convenient for them to solve their problems from Wuhan to Shandong.

Besides, the railway is also unsafe. The Black Tiger Army has repeatedly harassed near the railway. In case of a fight, although Liu Jingxiao is sure to win, it is better not to have such an accident.

Finally, he remembered his old friend Xiao Diji, and immediately sent a telegram to Xiao Diji to explain the situation here in detail. He asked Xiao Diji to send a fleet to pick up his troops, and it would be best to transport the goods at one time. As for the shipment, he paid the same amount.

At this time, Xiao Diji was "invincible in the south of Fujian". He was really powerful. He brought two Fujian security brigades composed of Sichuan soldiers to sweep the civilian army. The war went smoothly. The Sichuan soldiers were really "joy here and didn't want to Shu". He was thinking about making a name for himself in Fujian and returning home in glory. Some people were already writing letters to go home, bragging about how powerful he was in Fujian. He completely forgot that he was sold to Taiwan as a pig. One of them was Duncan Private, who was officially promoted to a corporal due to his outstanding performance.
