Li He kept hearing the words and his eyes were stunned, and he even turned a deaf ear to the sound of gunfire. He just asked in confusion: "How can their family escape the sanctions in the early years of the Republic?"

At this time, the gunfire became increasingly urgent, and Liu Jingxiao also increased his voice: "Before the Republic, the whole family had moved to Albion, and it was not until his father's generation that moved back to Nanjing. The Xu family invested in mines, plantations, and textile factories overseas, and became a wealthy person in the world. Xu Zhen was famous for not knowing how much property, how much land, and how much money he had. Once he took a fancy to a building and only knew that he had bought his own things after spending money to buy it. However, by Xu Zhen's generation, he had no pioneering spirit of his predecessors and could only enjoy his achievements. However, even if he just lay in bed and did nothing, he would make a fortune every year. Unfortunately, Xu Zhen had no other skills, and he would make a lot of jokes!"

Li He was surprised when he heard this and happened to say a few words of emotion. He only heard the officers and soldiers in front shouting loudly: "Cabin! Cavalry!"

When he heard this, Liu Jingxiao immediately straightened his body. Almost at the same time, Guo Junqing handed over the Qianli Jing. Liu Jingxiao looked carefully and the black cavalry rushed towards this side with a sound of hooves that shook the sky and the earth. The cavalry of the Rouran attacked for the first time.

Beijing.Central Hainan Political Affairs Hall Cabinet Meeting.

Cheng Yunpeng said, "That's how the Hunan issue is settled!"

After arguing for a whole morning, the cabinet finally barely reached an agreement on the Hunan issue. At this time, the door was pushed open with force and hit the wall and made a huge echo. Then a figure appeared at the door. Cheng Yunpeng was about to teach the rude guy a lesson, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he immediately changed his smile and said, "General Duan, why are you here?"

Duan Shizhen is known as the "eternal chief of staff". From the 72nd year of the Republic to the 86th year of the Republic, the cabinet has been changed for 18th term, but Duan Shizhen's position as chief of staff has always been as stable as Mount Tai. However, this lord is also a person who has never seen the head and the head. Unless there is a particularly serious war, it will never happen at the cabinet meeting.

Duan Shizhen nodded at Cheng Yunpeng and smiled: "Prime Minister Cheng! Dear cabinet members, please pause for a while, because there is an emergency!"

Cheng Yunpeng was shocked. He didn't know what shocked the Chief of Staff, so he asked casually: "General Duan? What big thing happened?"

Duan Shizhen's answer was very brief: "Lin Xi, the Babu Dhabu rebels who were sieging the city had nine divisions!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the cabinet members below began to discuss.

"Nine divisions?"

"Isn't that just 18,000 people?"

"It's hard to defend the four battalions in the city, right?"

"It depends on Chen Zhenlong's methods!"

What Cheng Yunpeng is most concerned about is whether the information is accurate. He asked Duan Shizhen: "General Duan, is the news reliable? What does Babuzabu want to do?"

Duan Shizhen brushed his long beard and said, "This news was brought by a military officer stationed in the north. It can be said that it is quite reliable. After Babuzabu wanted to capture Linxi, he would attack Chifeng and Chengde, and then conquer the entire Rehe River, and then go south to invade the capital!"

Chief of the Army Che Zhen asked a question: "General Duan, with nine divisions of 18,000 people, it will definitely be consumed to capture Rehe, but even if the system is complete, it is impossible to capture the capital with 18,000. I think Babuzabu is not so stupid, right?"

At that time, the troops near Beijing were not only responsible for garrisoning the capital, but also three divisions of the former Imperial Guard system and one division of the Hubei army. This was not counted as the six infantry battalions of the Pinghan Road guard commander. In addition, the Baoding to Beiping section of Pinghan Road was opened to traffic, and the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division in Hebei was also very convenient to go north to reinforce, so Che Zhen had this question.

Duan Shizhen explained this: "If Babuzabu conquered the Rehe River, his troops would probably increase. I personally estimate that it would not be a problem to expand to 30,000 to 40,000 rebels. As for equipment? Don't forget the neighbors in the north and east!"

The northern part of the Mohe is a bitter and cold place, with poor places, and Rouran people are brave and good at fighting. As long as Babuzabu opens several counties in the Rehe River, a large number of Rouran rebels will definitely come to join us. However, Rouran people in the Rehe River area have a lot of people. They have always admired Babuzabu, and they will definitely respond to it. At this time, another cabinet member suggested: "But what is Babuzabu doing with such a big fight?"

Che Zhen is a smart man, and he can understand it at a glance. He said: "Did you forget the story of the former Jin Dynasty attacking Shandong? Forget the story of Babuzabu rushing into the pass and invading Hebei!"

It is obvious that it is impossible to succeed when invading the capital in the south, but when they heard Che Zhen's words, everyone's expressions became solemn. You should know that most of the cabinet members are from the north, and what they care about most is their own local interests.

The Pingjin area in Hebei has always been considered a prosperous place in the northern region. Therefore, during the 81st year of the Republic, Babudhabu led the Rouran rebels to Hebei and did everything he could. He lost 600 million yuan in property, killed and injured more than a thousand people, and even captured hundreds of people. Therefore, a Hebei-born cabinet member immediately asked: "The central government has plucked up a full 1.8 million yuan in border fees, what has the Fengtian army done?"

As soon as this statement was made, the cabinet members agreed and pointed their heads directly at the Fengtian faction.

The three special areas of Rehe, Suiyuan and Chahar have been attacked by Rouran rebels for a long time, but after all, it is the territory of the Feng army, while the inner city is completely different. The Pingjin area is the territory of the Hubei army, and Hebei is the base of the direct branch. Although the Cheng Yunpeng cabinet claims to be "experts governing the country" and "experts cabinet", these cabinet members are supported by a faction in the direct and Hubei armies behind the scenes. Therefore, the reaction of the cabinet members is so fierce when the Babu Dhabu invasion is related to its own interests.

What's more, when Babu Dhabu was wandering inside the pass, he led only more than a thousand troops to burn, kill and loot all the way, but caused the death and injury of the people in Hebei. Today, Babu Dhabu led his troops dozens of times that of that year, and the disaster must have been dozens of times more severe than that of that year. The Pingjin area is the sphere of influence of the central government of the Hubei army. Once Babu Dhabu rebels attacked the near-Beijing, it would set a precedent since the republic and would leave the central government unlimited.

Cheng Yunpeng had to react. Although he was a general of the Hubei clan, he was considered an acceptable figure for all factions in the north. His wife was Cao Ming's beloved daughter, and his daughter married Zhang Buyun, the head of the Fengtian clan. The border payment was Cheng Yunpeng's removal to the Fengtian clan during his tenure as the Minister of the Army. He signaled everyone to calm down and said, "I will discuss the impeachment of Zhang Buyun later! The most urgent task is how to defend Lin Xi!"

Although Cheng Yunpeng's primary purpose was to protect his son-in-law, the cabinet officials thought that this was very reasonable and pointed their eyes at Army Minister Che Zhen.
