Fengxian Jiangshan

Chifeng is an important military and economic center in the north of Rehe, connecting the northeast and northwest regions, where merchants gather and is the most important distribution center for goods. Opium also passes through here and is transported to Fengtian.Moreover, to the north is Outer Mongolia, and to the south is Chengde and the Great Wall. The strategic location is extremely important.

Zhang Tinglan encouraged Wu Junsheng to attack here because he also took a fancy to Chifeng's potential value. Whether it is affecting the situation in Outer Mongolia or expanding his power to Rehe, Chifeng cannot be avoided.

Wu Junsheng turned around in front of the map a few times and looked carefully. He also had to admit the importance of Chifeng. If he wins here, it will definitely be a good thing for Feng Jun.

"Humble words, look, if we take Chifeng down, add Taonan and Tongliao, it will become a large area, all of which are rich in water and grass, and we will have a stable horse farm. We can raise a large number of war horses and cavalry. can expand.”

As the commander of the cavalry, Wu Junsheng naturally focused on the pasture, and Zhang Tinglan actually saw the value in this aspect.In fact, since the appearance of machine guns, the value of cavalry has plummeted, and with the massive use of tanks after World War I, the status of cavalry has been severely weakened.

However, the strength of the Feng army is limited, and it is impossible to build a strong armored force in a short period of time. Both the northeast and the northwest have large areas of plains, which require strong mobility. It is very necessary to maintain a strong cavalry , so I agree with Wu Junsheng's opinion.

Old Wu thought for a while, and then said: "Nephew, the biggest difficulty is not to occupy Chifeng, but whether to hold it?"

Wu Junsheng's worries are justified. After all, Zhang Zuolin is just a rising star who has just been promoted to the governor of Fengtian. He doesn't even have a stable interior. How can he have the ability to expand his territory?However, Zhang Tinglan also has his own considerations. It is a great misfortune for China for Lao Yuan to proclaim himself emperor, but for Feng Jun.But it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't take advantage of this favorable opportunity to expand your territory, you can only wait slowly.

So Zhang Tinglan still decided to give it a go, so he said: "Second uncle, we are fighting back in self-defense, Yi Jun is taking the initiative to provoke, and Beijing is in a mess, and we don't have the energy to take care of it. God will take the blame if we don't take it!"

Wu Junsheng is also a bold figure, after careful consideration, he feels that Zhang Tinglan's suggestion is still reasonable.It happened to be able to show the military power of Fengjun and deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao.

The location of Fengtian is not good, with Jilin and Heilongjiang to the north, Beijing and Tianjin to the south, and North Korea to the east.To the west is Inner Mongolia, which happens to be a place where the Four World Wars took place.

In this environment.Or just pretend to be a grandson.Or strive to create a new world.Obviously, neither Wu Junsheng nor Zhang Zuolin follow the rules.

"Zhuoyan, I'll do as you said, but I left with the cavalry and left you to face Yi Jun alone. Yu Xin is uneasy!"

"Second uncle, don't worry, we have sufficient ammunition and the morale of the army is strong. There is no problem in defending Tongliao."

Wu Junsheng saw that Zhang Tinglan was full of confidence, so he agreed to the plan. However, to be on the safe side, Lao Wu still left [-] cavalry in Tongliao, and handed it over to his nephew Wu Kaijie as a mobile force to help Zhang Tinglan guard Tongliao.

Feng Jun dispatched troops here, and Yi Jun also made moves. In fact, Yi Jun's actions were before Feng Jun. Mi Zhenbiao also made great efforts to compete for the position of the new generation leader. After saying goodbye to Jiang Gui , took two battalions of cavalry to Chifeng overnight.

Randomly ordered Chifeng's patrol battalion to mobilize and prepare to attack Tongliao. However, the Yi army was born out of the Huai army. Compared with the Beiyang army that had received new training, the Yi army was closer to the old army.

As soon as this group of Qiuba uncles heard about the war, they immediately wanted to set up expenses and settling expenses, and they wouldn't work if they didn't pay, which immediately stumped Mi Zhenbiao.

After much deliberation, Mi Zhenbiao really found a way to find the Shanxi merchants who had come and gone. Among the merchants caught in Tongliao, Shanxi merchants were no longer a minority, and they all had broken bones and tendons.In the name of saving lives, Mi Zhenbiao asked them for money and extorted a total of 30 Dayang.

However, after careful calculation, there are still more than half of the gaps that cannot be filled, so Mi Zhenbiao had to call up all the soldiers and tell everyone that as long as Tongliao is captured, they will be allowed to rob for three days, and everything they rob will be disposed of by them. hand in.

In Mi Zhenbiao's description, Tongliao has become a piece of fat meat, and if you take a bite of DC oil, as long as you win Tongliao, everyone will be able to live a fat year.Yi Jun was finally encouraged by him, two battalions of cavalry, plus seven battalions of infantry, a total of more than 4000 people, led by Mi Zhenbiao, marched towards Tongliao.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, but Mi Zhenbiao's speed slowed down after such a toss. When he mobilized his troops, Fengjun's defense line in Tongliao had been established. A large number of scouts were also sent to pay close attention to the movements of Yi Jun.

In addition to military preparations, Zhang Tinglan turned the propaganda machine on full steam. This time, Yijun took the initiative to invade Fengtian.

But drug trafficking itself is wrong. After the people were arrested, Yi Jun not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but went further and further down the wrong road. He even wanted to start a war for a few drug dealers, and the media immediately bombarded him. .

All major newspapers began to report on this incident. Without exception, everyone put the blame on Jiang Guiti, saying that this was a new Opium War. Inspired by Jiang Guiti, the media concentrated their firepower on Beiyang body.

Disastrous to the country and the people, incompetent, perverse...

All kinds of words were added to Beiyang's head. Facing the turbulent public opinion, Yuan Shikai felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. It was like a wave of ups and downs, which made the already exhausted Emperor Yuan feel more and more powerless.

He kept sending reports to both sides, asking them to restrain themselves. Zhang Zuolin readily agreed, directly stating that Fengjun would never fire the first shot.Of course, Fengjun will not shrink back when dealing with the opium issue. It is related to the well-being of the people of Fengtian. From the Fengtian Provincial Council to every soldier, it is the responsibility to defend the rights and interests of the elders in their hometown and not allow the opium dealers to run amok.

Lao Zhang's statement is just and righteous.Fengtian was unanimously applauded, and the Provincial Council also issued a statement, pointing out that the trial work must be carried out normally and will never yield to Yijun's pressure.

Moreover, in order to show its determination, the Fengtian Council approved the death penalty of a group of drug traffickers as quickly as possible, and immediately executed them by shooting. Among them were two assistants of Jiang Xi, who were also junior officers of Yi Jun.

Obviously, Jiang Xi will be judged next, and Jiang Guiti is also riding a tiger at this time.He absolutely cannot watch his nephew die, let alone let Fengtian dominate him.Jiang Guiti chose to respond in silence, and didn't say a word on the surface. In fact, he was waiting for Mi Zhenbiao to show his power and beat Fengjun to the ground.

The old man also understood.In this era, nothing works except fists.Just conquer the opponent.One day the clouds cleared, and those newspapers were just flies, so don't worry about them, so Jiang Guiti didn't even read the newspapers at all, and just waited for Mi Zhenbiao's good news.

At this time, Mi Zhenbiao finally left Chifeng with his men and approached the border between Rehe and Fengtian.Before entering Fengtian, Mi Zhenbiao also issued a telegram, not mentioning anything about opium, only saying that Fengjun had detained Yijun soldiers.The execution of two more officers was a serious provocation to Yi Jun. If Feng Jun still refused to release and apologize, Yi Jun could only use his own strength to rescue the arrested brothers.

Zhang Tinglan ignored Yijun's threat at all, and the interrogation continued as usual.In fact, Mi Zhenbiao just wanted to say something, not only him, but even the other soldiers of the Yi Army couldn't wait anymore, they had no interest in saving lives, robbing Tongliao's wealth, and returning home to live a healthy life is what they wanted .

Therefore, under Mi Zhenbiao's order, more than 4000 people from the Yi Army and Ma Infantry entered the territory of Fengtian. Wherever they passed, it was like locusts passing through the territory. All the common people were affected. They robbed them all, including food, cattle and horses, and even abducted many women to vent to the soldiers.

Fengjun was born as a bandit, and his military discipline was already very bad. Now that he has been strictly rectified, he has finally improved a bit, but Yi Jun's performance is worse than Fengjun's original situation.

After some trekking, the main force of Yi Army finally approached Tongliao. Mi Zhenbiao was also full of ambition. He wanted to use Feng Jun to establish his prestige. In addition, he also had his own ambitions. Rehe was too remote and too poor. It's good to have Fengtian's colorful world. If you can win Fengtian and enjoy the addiction of the governor, it will be much better than being trapped in the barren land of Rehe.

It is precisely because of these small calculations that Mi Zhenbiao is particularly active. He said to the exhausted Yijun soldiers: "Brothers, Tongliao is not far away. As long as you take this place, you can let go of looting and get it." Everything is yours, I don't want a single cent!"

With the license to rob, these soldiers mustered up their enthusiasm again. Suddenly, there was a rush of gunshots from the vanguard. Since the terrain was flat and there were no obstacles, the crisp gunshots could be heard far away.Mi Zhenbiao also knew that it was the sound of bullets from Shuilianzhu. Although Yijun was also equipped with Shuilianzhu, the number was limited, so it was probably Fengjun who came to attack.

Mi Zhenbiao is also a warrior with a bad temper. I didn't hit you, but you bullied me. Therefore, Mi Zhenbiao was furious, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to fight back.

It was Feng Jun's cavalry unit that attacked Yi Jun. Wu Kaijie originally led [-] cavalrymen to scout Yi Jun's movements, and happened to collide with the vanguard of Yi Jun. Wu Kaijie was going to give Yi Jun a little color. So he commanded the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Yijun.

Wu Kaijie took the lead and rushed within [-] meters of Yijun. As soon as he raised his hand, he fired a shot. A Yijun cavalry was shot in the chest on the spot, and a huge hole appeared. Blood shot out and landed on the snowy ground , looks very dazzling.

Shooting a gun on a horse is not as difficult as on flat ground. Wu Kaijie's ability to hit it with one shot shows that his marksmanship is outstanding.The other Fengjun cavalry also followed suit. After shooting, three more Yijun were killed. When Yijun reacted and wanted to pursue, Wu Kaijie had already left with his troops.

Mi Zhenbiao also came to the front, the battle was not going well, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he still pretended to be calm: "Brothers, there is nothing to be afraid of in Fengjun. Our troops are not our opponents at all."

Just as Mi Zhenbiao finished speaking, there was another burst of gunshots not far away. It turned out that Wu Kaijie did not go far with his troops, but went around to another direction and fired again. This made Mi Zhenbiao angry. Immediately let his cavalry go to chase.After the cavalry chased after them, Feng Jun had disappeared.

In this way, the closer they got to Tongliao, the more violent the Feng army's raids were. They didn't want to kill many people, but just tired the Yi army. This is also the usual fighting method of the bandits.They came from a long distance, with limited physical strength, they couldn't stand such a toss at all.

Fengjun's cavalry were like flies, surrounding Yijun, constantly disgusting them. Once Yijun gathered enough strength, he would kill the flies, but at this time they had already flown away, making Mi Zhenbiao very depressed. Yi Jun was originally full of energy, but now he is a little shaken. (To be continued..)
