Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Chapter 400 What a Big Game of Chess

Almost less than a week after the Feng army defeated Xuzhou, Tibet, Shaanxi and other places were successively captured by the Nationalist government, and the 13 troops commanded by Wu Peifu also marched in the direction of Gansu and Xinjiang.

What worries the Russian minister the most is that they have received definite news from Japan that the squadron of the second division led by Xu Shuzheng has entered Shaanxi and is marching towards Yulin. The target is likely to be supported by the Russians. Outer Mongolia regime.

This made the Russian Minister to China, Kudashov, furious, and scolded the Chinese as bastards, who actually poached the corners of the allies when they were in the most difficult time.Afterwards, Kudashov went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing government, and was furious at Lu Zongyu, the chief executive: "You Chinese are doing very dangerous things now. You must know that Outer Mongolia has always been our sphere of influence in Russia. Allies, you dare to spy on our sphere of influence. This is a very dangerous move. I ask you to stop this rude and uneducated behavior immediately, otherwise all consequences will be borne by your government..."

After a lot of threats and intimidation, he left poor Lu Zongyu and ran to the British Minister Zhu Erdian to uphold justice, but Lu Zongyu didn't figure out what happened after yelling at people for a long time.

"Why are we an ally for the Russian old man? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?" Everything was finally cleared up when Minister Zhu Erdian came to find Zhang Zuolin, but Zhang Zuolin's first reaction almost didn't make Zhu Erdian fall headfirst on the ground. On the ground, who are these people!

However, the British are indeed born diplomats. Although Zhu Erdian despised Zhang Zuolin's ignorance, he sat upright and said: "It is like this, your government signed a treaty with our British Empire, Russia, France, the United States, Japan and other countries in 1916 to join the Allies. Therefore, from a legal point of view, your government and the Russian government are indeed allies, and there is no doubt about this.”

Zhang Zuolin simply said "oh" and then he didn't believe it. What's bothering him recently?Before the battle of Xuzhou, he was going smoothly, but after the battle of Xuzhou was defeated, many problems arose, first of all, the problem of Xiyuan's loan. Although Zhang Zuolin took half of the money, Duan Qirui spent the other half. But in order to get the final payment, Zhang Zuolin had to agree to the Japanese request and inherited all the repayment obligations.At that time, I thought going south could make a fortune, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but after Xuzhou's defeat, the south has become a tiger's butt, and Zhang Zuolin won't touch it if you lend him the guts. It has changed from sweet pastry to poison.The second is the Beijing government. It’s okay if you don’t enter Beijing, but only after entering Beijing do you find out that this is a fucking mess.I don't know how Beiyang is in charge. The entire Beijing government is heavily in debt, and the taxes are pitiful. 00% of the customs duties are used to repay Gengzi's indemnity. In order to pay compensation, our Zhang Yushuai was planning to turn around and run back to the northeast.Whoever gets the central government with annual tax revenue of less than 5000 million yuan and administrative expenditures of almost [-] million yuan will have a headache.The third is Yan Xishan from Shanxi. This bastard is a white-eyed wolf. When he first moved to Beijing, he gave gifts and telegrams. As soon as the results of the Xuzhou battle came out, this kid announced that he had joined the National Socialist Party. The Nanjing government flirted with each other.It's not that Zhang Zuolin didn't think about mobilizing troops to deal with him. It's just that the power in the south is too strong now, and Zhang Zuolin is a bit confused if they don't attack Zhili and Shandong now. It's always good not to fight.But if the current delicate balance is broken because of going to fight Shanxi, it will be a big loss. . .

So these days, Zhang Zuolin has been worrying about these bad things, and his hairless head has become more open because of it.Trouble is trouble, the problem still needs to be solved, so Yang Yuting, who had been with Wang Zhengting in Shanghai before, had to go south again brazenly, what to do, negotiate with the national government, find out how much he is willing to give to the old Zhang family's Fengjun living space.As for Northwest or Southwest, it doesn't matter. If Wang Zhenyu, a little bastard, likes it, it's not impossible to take the title of Beijing, the central government. Although it hurts a bit, it's better than being wiped out by others.

Zhang Zuolin has made up his mind. If he is really forced to do nothing this time, he will take his army back to the Northeast Army, ask the Japanese for help (although he knows they have no good intentions), and develop the industry and economy well. When the strength is enough, go out and find Wang Zhenyu to settle the score.

And in Nanjing, on September 9, Wang Zhengting, a member of the Government Affairs Council of the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, looked at Yang Yuting sitting opposite him with a relaxed face.More than ten days ago, this bastard put himself together, and suddenly changed from talking about peaceful reunification to a military crusade. After returning to Nanjing, many people ridiculed him as incompetent behind his back.But the world is really impermanent. In just half a month, Yang Yuting's ass returned to the negotiating table honestly.While Wang Zhengting was proud, he was secretly envious of Wang Zhenyu. At such a young age, he had such an invincible tiger and wolf army in his hands. Feng Jun, who had frightened the whole of China, was defeated after only one fight. Let's see how he ends up with Yang Yuting, a slick and dishonest tortoise.

Yang Yuting also had no choice. Essentially, when it comes to diplomacy, everyone is fighting for the first place. If you lose, you can’t even hide. Otherwise, why was it always Li Hongzhang who was good at diplomacy in the former Qing Dynasty? ?It's not really because Li Hongzhang is good at foreign affairs, but because the Qing army is always defeated, so other princes and ministers cherish their feathers. Anyway, no matter how useless the court is, it will not affect his life. Why should he risk being scolded? The risk of doing foreign affairs?

But errands always have to be done, and Yang Yuting came to Shanghai with a rough and restless heart.As soon as he got off the boat, he got a slap from Mawei. He was told that Minister Wang Zhengting was very busy now and could not come to Shanghai. If he wanted to continue the peace negotiations, he might have to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government Affairs Council.

There is no way, who let the brothers below be so skilled in warfare, within three hours, the army of the five brigades was wiped out.That is to say, he knew what kind of guy Zhang Zongchang was, otherwise Yang Yuting would definitely think that he was lying about the military situation if he was an ordinary person.If it is true, then the fighting power of the youth army is a bit outrageous.In history, in the Fengjun without Guo Songling, Zhang Zongchang's army was almost synonymous with being able to fight. The combat effectiveness of this army was once so strong that even the main family was afraid.During the Second Northern Expedition, the Feng army retreated steadily. Zhang Zongchang wanted to retreat outside the Northeast Pass with [-] remnants, but Zhang Xueliang refused because Zhang Xueliang was very afraid that Zhang Zongchang, a tiger general, would devour the master after leaving the pass.The final result was that Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition forces were surrounded and disarmed by Bai Chongxi's commander-in-chief Guijun at Shanhaiguan, and they withdrew from the stage of history. . .

Since it was the tiger's beard that no strong general like Zhang Zongchang dared to stroke again, naturally no one in Fengjun dared to jump out to fight the youth army again.

So Yang Yuting obediently took his entourage all the way to Nanjing on the No. [-] special train of the National Government Nanjing-Shanghai Line (there are seven special trains in total, and the No. [-] train is dedicated to the chairman, vice-chairman, and speaker of the National Government of the Republic of China. The No. [-] special train is for the Military Commission system Dedicated, No. [-] is for the government affairs system, No. [-] is for foreign guests, No. [-] is for the national security system, No. [-] is for the Academy of Sciences system, and No. [-] is for the party affairs system. Departs once a day. The number of trailers depends on the number of passengers and their grades ).

After the Battle of Xuzhou, Nanjing once again restored its former prosperity. Yang Yuting was amazed by the flow of people coming and going, the flow of people driving, the variety of shops, and the dazzling array of goods.He had been to this Nanjing before, but it surprised him that it could become so prosperous in just a few years.It's a pity that Fengjun was defeated, and these things have nothing to do with them.

Although Wang Zhengting intends to tease Yang Yuting, a slippery man, he still needs to be given the treatment that should be given. After all, Yang Yuting represents the central government of the Republic of China at present, although the scope of the central government's decrees has been equated with the actual control area of ​​Fengjun.As soon as Yang Yuting and his party got out of the car, they were greeted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government with a convoy of four Ford vehicles in accordance with the treatment of ministers. The guards were the ceremonial cavalry, which was formed from He Wenchang. It was drawn from the brigade.He Wenchang, who has been transferred to the security system, is much luckier than Long Yunfei. He was transferred back to the field army and participated in the formation of the first cavalry unit of the Youth Army. After Mongolia was prepared, it was incorporated into the battle order of the Mongolian Border Guards.All the tall horses have been assigned to this 50-member ceremonial squadron. The horses of the First Cavalry Brigade are all Yunnan horses. It is estimated that they will be replaced by purebred Mongolian horses in Mongolia.

The group soon arrived at the Nanjing National Government. Strictly speaking, after more than a year of development, the seat of the National Government, the former Nanjing Tianwang Mansion, Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and Liushou Mansion are no longer a comprehensive office.Neither the chairman nor the vice-chairman of the national government work here. They are all in the Daxing Palace not far from across the road.Members of the two chambers of the National Assembly also moved into the new Capitol (a Chinese classical style building covering an area of ​​40 acres, specifically referring to the Shanghai Municipal Government of the Kuomintang of the Republic of China), and the National Socialist Party Headquarters even found an excuse to move Wuhan (this is also Wang Zhenyu's decision to curb the expansion of party power and cover up the supremacy of military power).Although the signboard of the National Government is still hanging here, in fact, only the ministries of the National Government Administration Council work here.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the fourth red building, the first red building is the Prime Minister's building, the second building is the political committee building, the third building is the Ministry of Finance building, the fourth building is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, and the fifth building is the turn of the national defense. department. . .

When Yang Yuting entered this magnificent government building by car, he had to shake his head and said with emotion: "It's become a climate..."
