The disaster in the eyes of wise men was always uncovered at first, but now there is still a sign of singing and dancing in Beijing. Duan Tiemin seemed to have the momentum of raising his arms and calling out the heroes of the world. When he heard that the Third Division was setting off the road, those who usually just said "um... um...", Prime Minister Duan asked for help but still refused to say a truth, the generals who took the initiative to send troops and gathered five armies. Even the Fengtian army, which had just had a Hubei-Feng War with the Hubei-Feng faction a year ago, officially sent three mixed brigades to join with a part of the Fengtian army stationed in Shaanxi and traveled to the south.

After all, the Zhi army has a reputation for fighting tough battles. Everyone follows the Zhi army's butt to pick up cheap things. When competing for merit, the Third Division will have to eat meat as long as it has a taste of soup. This is called "success or failure does not depend on the battlefield." There is only Shanxi Province. Because of the lessons of the Che Zhen Brigade, it has established the intention to rather trap Shanxi than send troops to fight south. After all, it is to conquer the country. This territory is 100,800 miles away from Shanxi, and it is not a piece of fat meat in the mouth of others.

When he saw the heroes unanimously supporting him, except for the seemingly faint protests in the south (in fact, there were hundreds of telegrams in the south scolding Duan Tiemin), it was very meaningful that "Zhou Gong vomited food, and the world returned to his heart". Duan Tiemin was full of confidence. He had already thought about changing the province to several after the southern expedition, weakening local power, and concentrating power to the central government. Of course, the central government is himself, and he himself is the central government.

After signing the loan from Liefengren, Duan Tiemin was given another shot of a heart attack. The amount of salt was paid to the Beijing government in one go, and the number was much higher than expected.

It is important to know that although the government issues guaranteed public bonds, due to the low reputation of the Northern Government, unsecured public bonds are often issued at a 20% discount and cannot be sold. Only bonds with collateral can be sold quickly and can also be sold at a good price. The collateral for public bonds is generally subject to the control of the central government and the salt tax. Sometimes it is also used as a mortgage on railway income. After the guarantee, the control is not in the hands of the central government, but in the hands of the maritime merchants. The two tax departments of salt are slowly controlled by the maritime merchants.

Later, the maritime merchants repeatedly withheld the central government's tax on salt and the central government's due. The central government was very dissatisfied and repeatedly wanted to take back the tax autonomy, but they were afraid that they would not be able to borrow money at sea in the future. Seeing the central government coming in full force, the maritime merchants were also afraid that both sides would suffer losses. After several reconciliation, an agreement was finally reached, and the two tax on salt and the security tax, as collateral, was handed over to Xu Zhen, Jinling. This was how the fat man Xu Zhen's public debt guarantee came.

In the annual custody period, the two taxes of salt must first pay the government bonds, and then transfer the remaining funds to the Northern government, commonly known as "Guanyu". "Salt surplus" is also the same. Although the central government looks majestic, it is still inseparable from the income of tens of millions. Last year's "Salt surplus" reduced the amount of more than one million yuan due to the impact of Huai salt from Sichuan salt. In the aspect of "Guanyu", imports increased significantly due to the war between Albion and Cape, and Xu Guarantee made the sorting of old debts effective and spent 4 million yuan less. As a result, this year's Guanyu and Salt surplus totaled as 22 million yuan.

Money is omnipotent! With this return, Duan Tiemin became much more abundant for a while, and more people nodded and bowed around him. Duan Tiemin didn't know how to control himself. All the troops in the Southern Expedition were all charged for the withdrawal of their hair and the wartime funds were calculated separately. It is said that only the Feng army was exceptional, because the Feng army had already promised to send troops to the Southern Expedition for free.

It is easy to do things if you have money. Don’t look at Zhang Ke huddling in Henan for so many days. When he heard that the Third Division had become a limelight, Premier Duan got a lot of money. One should not have the excrement fee, the other should not have the order, and one should issue a message saying "The crime of slandering the people... Zhang Ke has no virtue and talent, and is willing to be the pioneer of the Southern Expedition..."

Immediately intercepted a few trains on Jinghan Road, stuffed my troops up and rushed straight to Hunan. The speed of this movement was so fast that it really made people later shame.

When he arrived in Hubei, he took the initiative to attack the vanguard again. The next day he reported, "Our army defeated the Hunan Army and defeated Puyi." Premier Duan praised it for a while, and led Zhang Kexu to resurrect Zhang Fei for Zhao Yun, but the Hunan Army was not happy. They called: "No army has entered Hubei... Why do you have any saying that the Northern Army will recover Puyi?"

Everyone came back to the taste, it turned out that Pu Yi was still the territory of Hubei! The Hunan Army failed to aid Hubei, and tens of thousands of casualties lost Yuezhou without getting any inch of land. I didn’t hear that when Pu Yi was lost in the hands of the Hunan Army!

Think about it carefully, now that the Zhi army occupied southern Hubei, Pu Yi should have been the territory of the Third Division. How to aid Hunan and Hunan? Could it be that a civil war broke out within the Northern Army? Zhang Ke sent a telegram to solve everyone's doubts: "After the friendly troops moved their defenses, the Hunan bandits colluded with Wang Zichun's remaining troops to occupy Pu Yi. Our army defeated the bandits several thousand and recovered Pu Yi..."

Wang Zichun, who was a rich man at the sea, saw this incident involving himself, and quickly confessed that "Zichun did not care about the world and had never had any contact with his old subordinates. This matter had nothing to do with me..." The Hunan Army even confessed: "We are loyal to the Hunan-Hubei Peace Agreement. Now there is only the fact that the Northern Army destroyed it, and there are no clues of the Hunan people invading Hubei..."

This is strange. Everyone refused to admit it. Which troops were attacking Zhang Ke? He only knew that Zhang I-shuai was using Pu Yi as an enemy city. The new second division did something wrong in Pu Yi city, causing great harm. Later, there was also a statement to defend: "The military discipline of Ke's troops is strict, but only Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to disturb the local area. The local area suffered heavy casualties... Fortunately, Ke sent troops to suppress him, and Pu Yi is now in power and people..."

It turned out that it was a stingy to disturb the local area, and the local area was very harmful... but soon, he called himself "representative of the Puyi people" to the provincial capital and Beijing respectively accused Zhang Ke of taking advantage of the opportunity of friendly troops to change defenses and seize the empty city of Puyi. Afterwards, he even robbed the local area, and he committed all evil deeds. "Although the debauchery of Jie Xia and the tyranny of Zhou Shang, it is not as good as the fate... I have suffered a tragic disaster that has not been encountered in a century. The Puyi people are all Yanhuang people... I hope that all the officials will ask for a public for the Puyi people..."

This is absolutely impossible! It is just like the reports of the attack on how the bandits in the southern Shandong newspapers attacked Zhang Ke and the bandits were tyrannical. It is all fictional and there is no real possibility. Our Zhang and I have always loved soldiers like their sons, so how could they do such a humane thing!

These people also received some words from Xin Wei in Wuhan, but Duke Wu was too weak. He only asked Zhang Ke's troops to leave the country as soon as possible, while Beijing City encountered walls everywhere and asked to see the president. President Feng still said the same old saying: "Now it is the responsible cabinet system, you can go to the Prime Minister!" As for Duan Tiemin's face, he said with a stern face before the representatives finished speaking, "This is absolutely true!"

Of course, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Ke's troops can be used to "ten thousand thieves and soldiers guarding" Puyi City in one day. It is better not to use such troops to participate in the formal battle, otherwise what should I do if the Hunan Army is scared? So it is really useful to use the 3rd Division and several mixed brigades of the Zhi army.

Things in the world are mostly destroyed by hesitation. The Hunan Army was a brave army, and there were also strong soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi to respond, but they stopped at the border between Hunan and Hubei under Yuezhou. If the 8th Division and the 20th Division were newly defeated, they would attack Hubei Province in one go. The Zhi army living in southern Hubei would not be willing to fight to the end. At that time, they would meet in Wuhan, drink horses and the Yangtze River, and climb high and shout, and the southwest provinces would inevitably respond to each other.

But Hunan was caught in a fight with Guangdong and Guangxi. The so-called Guangdong and Guangxi were all the same. To put it bluntly, they wanted to regard Hunan as their own colony. Before the foreign war ended, internal struggles began. Although the high-ranking general Mo Lian, who was still the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Alliance, was actually emptied by the Hunan Army and Guizhou. Others said that the military order did not come from the provincial capital, but even the commander-in-chief of this general Mo Lian's office may not be effective.

The future is still an old problem. Hunan’s poor cannot afford to support so many soldiers, so it can only issue military coupons without credibility. The soldiers’ military pay was unsustainable and they were dressed without clothes. The morale was naturally depressed. The use of military coupons to collect materials has a great impact on the relationship between the military and civilians.

Regarding this situation, there are many talkative people in Hunan who express their opinions, but after arguing, there is no result. A scholar talked about Hunan and called it "three more", namely "many soldiers", "many banknotes", and "many great men", which is indeed a good word.

When the third division made a horizontal blow, the Hunan Army naturally could not resist the enemy. In the last battle to aid Hubei, the province could not defeat the enemy. First, it fought fiercely with Liu Jingxiao at Yanglou Stadium, and then it was defeated by Tingsi. The entire army was almost defeated, and it was a little concerned about the Third Division.

As soon as the Third Division came, it was naturally a situation where the entire army was retreating. The Hunan Army retreated all the way. As for the Southwest Alliance led by Commander Mo Lian, when he saw this situation, he lacked the confidence to fight to the death for Hunan Province. However, when the Northern Army attacked, he snatched it before the Hunan Army in the name of "the province's defense is important, and return to the province to adjust." This further affected the morale of the Hunan Army. Even Changsha was lost in a few days.

There are many people who add icing on the cake in the world, and few people who provide help in time. So a mighty army swept across Hunan Province. This power is no problem, but the Hunan people hate Duan Tiemin and Zhang Ke until their death. Even if they kill their father and wife, they will be unable to resist this endless hatred.

During the process of the army advancing, Zhang Ke claimed that "the people all eat pots of slurry and look forward to the king's army." Of course, when the army passes through the border, there are inevitably troubles. Women hang on the southeast branches and go to the Qing pond. Zhang Ke's army stationed in a certain place for three months. Afterwards, hundreds of female corpses were found in the well. As for the strong men, they also suffered a lot, and were forced to be soldiers and carried heavy objects for hundreds of miles on their backs, without a break, or resisting a little, that is, the two places in their heads and heads. Xiangfeng has always been strong, but at this time, there are people who meet each other but dare not speak. The truth can be seen.

Zhang Ke led his troops to pursue Xiangdong, but the pursuit was too urgent. The Hunan Army fired two sets of rifles and fought back. Zhang Kejun quickly retreated across the river. He trampled on each other and suffered many casualties during the retreat. He also exposed the flanks of the Zhi army. Cao Ming was so angry that he shouted, "Zhang Ke's army usually claims to be 20,000, but there was no one in the last battle!"

However, Cao Ming was satisfied at this time. The Zhi army was in a state of unstoppable power along the way. It attacked Changsha and headed straight to Hengyang. Hunan could take a seat and settle down. With such a great contribution, President Feng and Premier Duan were extremely happy. They generated electricity every day to commend the vice president, and saw that the position of the vice president was about to be obtained.

The war in Hunan was developing smoothly, and Liu Jingxiao had to reconsider it, but after thinking about it, Liu Jingxiao still said the same thing: Do it according to the established policy.

Not to mention anything else, the current prestige of Premier Duan, Zhang Ke and I-supervised him, and the complaints from the Shandong newspapers can be said to be endless. Without Liu Jingxiao's nod, it would never have been possible to reach such a large scale.

Not only that, he found several leaders from the bandits to accuse them of collusion with Zhang Ke, how the bandit family was in order to completely line up Zhang Ke. One of them was the yellow sheep who called himself "yellow lion". He couldn't fight. He could be said to be a genius in his ideological work. He talked about the movement of remembering bitterness and thinking sweetness. He accused Zhang Ke. As soon as he came on the stage, he wiped his tears, and then said in tears: "When Zhang Ke was there, our bandits were really hard..."

This is not like the bandit leader who holds gold bricks and cannot be used as a food: "I have no choice, I am the one whose name is Huang Shi... Yes, yes, my name is Xiaodong! From Yangjiagou Village, we were so miserable at that time... we all had no choice, we were so hungry that we could not be able to become bandit leader..."

"But... I can't even say it... (Take the opportunity to wipe away another tear) Zhang Ke is so bad... We do everything we do to obey his command..."

Liu Jingxiao looked at Huang Yang’s wonderful performance in the audience and couldn’t help but sigh that this guy has done his job. It is said that at some point there was a so-called “power of the political commissar”. This guy is indeed the material for being a political commissar. Of course, he will finally show Liu Jingxiao’s unparalleled talent: “Fortunately, General Liu came, it was like pulling out the dark clouds and seeing the sun, liberating our bandits, so that we bandits can also have food to eat…”

It was really sincere. The little girl below moved her handkerchiefs and wet her clothes with tears. By the way, Liu Jing realized a big advantage. She received countless love letters that day, and the beginning was: "Dear General Liu Jingxiao..."

However, Liu Jingxiao just secretly met the two girls. When she understood how beautiful the jade man who claimed to be "Rong Sheng Zhaojun, looks better than Xizi" in the letter was, she immediately gave up and went home to carry his wife.
