The Republic is so violent

Chapter 174: Two skins of the world (2)
But it's not Wu Peifu's turn to bring up this issue yet. This time when the Yunnan National Defense Army soldiers entered Sichuan, Chen Huan sent secret telegrams to support Cai E and invented telegrams to support Yuan Shikai. Liu Yunfeng of the regiment lured into the Syrian Mansion, and then Feng Yuxiang crossed the Nanxi at night to cut off the back road of the National Defense Army, and then used Cao Kun's soldiers and horses from Beiyang as auxiliary wings to wipe out the National Defense Army in one fell swoop, and give Cai E a look at his iron buddy.

Surrounded by four roads and made dumplings for the National Defense Army, what an exquisite plan it is.

But no matter how good the plan is, it can't be as fast as the change. Feng Yuxiang took the retreat of the nationalist army from behind, but now Guizhou suddenly raised its troops and became independent, and the battle situation was reversed in an instant.Originally, Liu Yunfeng of the National Defense Army was surrounded by enemies, but suddenly Feng Yuxiang was surrounded by enemies.

Liu Yunfeng took advantage of this opportunity and ordered a counterattack across the board, making sure to defeat Feng Yuxiang's troops and capture Feng Yuxiang alive.

06 Zhu De's debut in Jianghu
On January 1916, 1, Beiyang Feng Yuxiang's brigade officially exchanged fire with the National Defense Army.

It was the Japanese National Defense Army's battle report.The battle report said: This battle caused major damage to Beiyang Feng Yuxiang's brigade.

When the battle report was released, Liu Yunfeng of the National Defense Army was leading the army to retreat across the board. It was impossible not to retreat. The troops abandoned their posts and absconded, causing chaos in the army.At this time, if there is no report of a big victory, there will really be no spells.

Liu Yunfeng withdrew to the Baita Temple not far from Baisha. At this time, night fell, the empty mountain was silent, and it was bitingly cold. The soldiers of the National Defense Army were shivering from the cold. Even Liu Yunfeng could only keep warm with the generals back to back.After dawn, the National Defense Army searched and advanced, and soon encountered Feng Yuxiang's troops. Liu Yunfeng personally commanded the artillery and bombarded Feng Yuxiang.

Then Liu Yunfeng turned around and fought back to Xu Mansion, and fought Chen Huan's army again, and was defeated.

After this battle, Chen Huan was puzzled: No, how could we fail in this battle of Xufu?It shouldn't be, there must be someone secretly playing tricks.

Who is it?Could it be Senate President Liu Yiqing?
Looking for Liu Yiqing again, he found that the old man was no longer in the camp. Chen Huan immediately ordered Cai E to send a power call, saying: Please come to Sichuan, General Cai, to plan for the future together.

This telegram made Cai E hate his old brother Chen Huan to death.

why?

Because after the telegram was sent, Cai E's second echelon group, led by Dong Hongxun, arrived in Bijie.Cai E arranged for Liu Cunhou and Lei Biao at Chen Huan's place to raise the flag to respond, so Dong Hongxun crossed Tai'an at night and captured the Wufeng Peak on the opposite bank, preparing to give Beiyang Zhang Jingyao a powerful try.

But he didn't want Zhang Jingyao's weirdness. The national defense army had already occupied the top of the five peaks. He didn't say to attack quickly, but he also crossed the river unreasonably.There are four Krupp guns of the National Defense Army on the river side, which are the most valuable possessions in the Yunnan Army.This cannon was guarded by a regiment of Chen Limen under Liu Cunhou's department.Old Chen saw that Dong Hongxun had already climbed to the top of the Five Peaks. According to the routine, Zhang Jingyao should go to attack the top of the Five Peaks, so there was nothing wrong here, so all the brothers undressed and went to bed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingyao did not play cards according to the rules.The rule is that when someone occupies the commanding heights, you go to attack.If you don't attack, why do people want to occupy the commanding heights?But Zhang Jingyao didn't care so much, if you occupy your commanding heights, I will come to grab your cannon. He came across the river suddenly, and Chen Limen, who was guarding the cannon, was stunned.The more Chen Limen thought about it, the more awkward it became. Look at Zhang Jingyao, how could he fight like this?It's really outrageous.

Unable to figure it out, Chen Limen committed suicide in grief and indignation.

Dong Hongxun found out that Zhang Jingyao had made a fool of him, so he retreated helplessly, and the National Defense Army retreated across the board.This retreat is a major event that must be mentioned in the current military history.

Why is this retreat a major event?
It was because Cai E was furious when he heard the news, and he immediately dismissed Dong Hongxun, and took Zhu De and Zhu Yujie, the captain of the sixth detachment, as the chief military officer, and ordered him to wipe out all the enemy troops in Mianhuapo.

Zhu De led the army to the expedition, starting from the big tiled house of the Tao family, he chased Yuan Jun madly, and chased him all the way to Chaoyang Temple in Huamianpo.But which enemy army he was chasing, this one is a bit weird. After checking the historical data, a tragic battle broke out in Mianhuapo in early February. Liu Yunfeng and his sworn brother Zhang Jingyao were the masters. Just stab each other to death by thousands.Then Cai E drove the division into the army, destroyed the three lines of defense of Zhang Jingyao's department, and entered Luzhou on March 2.

Before finding out who the leader of the enemy army was fighting with Zhu De, Beiyang Feng Yuxiang led 5000 people and returned.

Then Feng Yuxiang closed the door and began to write letters seriously.

He wrote a total of three letters: one to Sichuan General Chen Huan, one to Sichuan Army General Counselor Liu Yiqing, and one to Cai E.

07 The National Defense Army ran out of ammunition and food

In Feng Yuxiang's letter to Cai E, he said that he admired Cai E very much, but he couldn't help himself, so he asked the two parties not to meet each other in battle, and if there is anything, please speak slowly.

Then Feng Yuxiang sent his confidant Jiang Hongyu to meet Liu Yunfeng with a letter to discuss the reconciliation between the two families.

Why did you send Jiang Hong to meet Liu Yunfeng?Because both of them graduated from Baoding Military Academy and are alumni, they can talk slowly if they have something to say.Feng Yuxiang made four demands to Liu Yunfeng:
1. If the two sides do not exchange fire, it is really impossible to shoot into the sky, and absolutely not to fight each other.

2. When the timing is right, Feng Yuxiang will call against Yuan.

3. Feng Yuxiang still has to beat Liu Yunfeng severely, because Zhang Jingyao and Wu Peifu are watching from behind, and it is impossible not to beat him.

4. Feng Yuxiang is in contact with Cai E, and the current feedback is good.

These four conditions seem extremely strange, especially the third one, which requires great effort to understand.Before Liu Yunfeng figured out what was going on, Feng Yuxiang had already urged his troops to enter, seized Beishan, drove heavy artillery, and bombarded the national defense army in the city of Syria, causing the national defense army to squeal and scream, and lost Xuzhou Flee in embarrassment.

At the same time, Zhang Jingyao and Wu Peifu cooperated with Feng Yuxiang to attack Cai E in Luzhou. Cai E was alone on the right side of the river, unable to support himself, and had to abandon the city and leave.

Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, and Zhang Jingyao, the three Beiyang armies, clamored to pursue and kill them from behind, destroying all the way, taking Jiang'an, Naxi and other cities in succession.Cai E ran away in a hurry, and didn't even bother to look back.

Fleeing to Hengjiang, Jiang Hongyu, Feng Yuxiang's emissary, came again, met Liu Yunfeng, and said, "Old Liu, Feng Yuxiang really has a hard time. Think about it, he is the leader of Luanzhou, and he crawled out of the dead. He absolutely does not support Yuan Shikai as emperor.Hitting you a few days ago was an arrow on the string, so I had to send it.I heard that you are going to attack Xuzhou again, Brigadier Feng said no, if you want Xuzhou, I will give it to you.

Liu Yunfeng said: "It doesn't matter if you want Xuzhou or not, but you, Feng Yuxiang, absolutely cannot help Zhang Jingyao."

Jiang Hongyu said with a smile: "Old Liu, I know that you and Zhang Jingyao are sworn brothers in Nanyuan, Beijing. This time Zhang Jingyao beat you very hard, you can't swallow it."Don't worry, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Jingyao are enemies, you two brothers can fight if you want, and Lao Feng will never intervene.

Liu Yunfeng said: If this is the case, I will go back to Hengjiang to settle accounts with Zhang Jingyao, and your old Feng is not allowed to beat me.

Jiang Hongyu smiled and said: I would like to guarantee it with my personality.Old Liu, if I am not sure, I will never come to see you. I have been an old classmate for many years, can I lie to you?

So Liu Yunfeng marched into Hengjiang, and Feng Yuxiang withdrew from Syria, exposing Zhang Jingyao alone to Liu Yunfeng's gunpoint.

Feng Yuxiang's weird behavior frightened Beiyang. All of a sudden everyone was clamoring, asking Feng Yuxiang what he was doing. The most shocked was Cao Kun.And Feng Yuxiang just rambled about, found a lot of extremely weird reasons, and talked nonsense, making Beiyang not sure what to do.

But Liu Yunfeng was also in trouble. He had run out of ammunition, so he went to Cai E to ask for it.

It is said that Liu Yunfeng saw Cai E and asked, "Have the bullets arrived?"
Cai E tactfully replied: Is there no war without bullets?
These words almost choked Liu Yunfeng to death.After thinking about it for a long time, I still don't understand what Cai E means. Is he dissatisfied with his military actions?Is it because the arms were not delivered?Or is the National Defense Army running out of ammunition?After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a clue. In a rage, Liu Yunfeng pulled together several commanders of the echelon regiment to look for Cai E.

When everyone came, Cai E was furious: You came here together, what's the matter?
Liu Yunfeng said: General Cai, you are good friends with that so-and-so, that Chen Huan, can you send him a telegram to discuss a truce for a few days, and it will not be too late to fight when our bullets arrive, how about it?
Cai E shook his head and sighed: Chen Huan is a snob. If you send a telegram to beg him, you can only humiliate yourself.Even if he agreed, Cao Kun and Zhang Jingyao would never listen to his orders.

Liu Yunfeng became anxious, and said: Then I might as well contact Zhang Jingyao directly. Anyway, we are still brothers.

Cai E said: Contact is possible.But there is one thing, it can only be used in your personal name, not in the name of the Yunnan Army.

So Liu Yunfeng immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Jingyao, inviting Zhang Jingyao to talk on the phone.Zhang Jingyao called back immediately and agreed to have a phone call at ten o'clock in the evening.

08 Breaking into the Enemy Camp Alone

At ten o'clock that night, National Defense Army Liu Yunfeng had a conference call with Beiyang Zhang Jingyao.

Liu Yunfeng: Is it the elder brother?

Zhang Jingyao: Of course, are you my brother?
Liu Yunfeng: Of course.

Zhang Jingyao: Brother, why do you have to find Big Brother?
Liu Yunfeng: Brother, do you still want to beat my brother?
Zhang Jingyao: The bastard wants to beat my brother, what do you think, brother?

Liu Yunfeng: I don't want to hit my brother either. Big brother, you have to find a way to stop us from fighting.

Zhang Jingyao: Brother, since you called, you must have figured out a way, right?
Liu Yunfeng: Brother, is your General Councilor here?Can you let him come to my place? Let's sit down and discuss it.

Zhang Jingyao: The chief councilor went to see Mr. Cao (Cao Kun).

Liu Yunfeng: Then let your chief of staff come.

Zhang Jingyao: My chief of staff is a waste, letting him go will only delay things.

Liu Yunfeng: Brother, is it true that you can't send anyone over there?

Zhang Jingyao: I can't send them out.

Liu Yunfeng: Then how was my past?

Zhang Jingyao: Welcome, welcome, warm welcome, no guns allowed, come alone. OK?

hang up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Liu Yunfeng ran to report to Cai E.Cai E frowned and said, "Zhang Jingyao, the bandits too, if you pass by, you will surely die."

Liu Yunfeng said: If I don't go there, this battle will never end, what can I do?What's more, I'm not the commander of the Yunnan Army, Zhang Jingyao harmed me, it doesn't affect the overall situation.If he didn't harm me, wouldn't things have turned around?
Cai E thought and thought, and finally said: "Okay, you go, I just give you a word, if you die at the hands of Zhang Jingyao, if I can't avenge you, then my surname will not be Cai."

Liu Yunfeng lifted his spirits and said, "Okay, if I die in Zhang Ying, please avenge me, Commander-in-Chief."

The next morning, Liu Yunfeng set off for Zhang Jingyao's front line.At this time, the camps of the two sides are very close at hand, and the distance between them is only two or three miles.Before I could go far, I saw a row of Beiyang soldiers surrounded by a sedan chair. The soldiers asked Liu Yunfeng for his name and asked Liu Yunfeng to get off the sedan chair.

Liu Yunfeng got into the sedan chair, the curtain of the sedan chair was drawn down, and was carried to Luzhou.

This is exactly: Brothers always kill each other, and the world is burning with war.Once we meet again, a few days apart.It is unknown what happened to Liu Yunfeng's life during this trip.

09 Four Bandit Brothers

However, after Liu Yunfeng got into the sedan chair, he wanted to raise the curtain of the sedan chair and look outside, but was immediately stopped by the soldiers outside.Liu Yunfeng's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and he cried out: "It's terrible, I'm really going to be killed by the bandit brother."Zhang Jingyao, the big bandit brother, even tricked his righteous brother to kill him, it's really not a joke.

Two hours passed, and the soldiers outside suddenly lifted the car curtain and said: Commander Liu, we have arrived at Naxi, and the car curtain can be opened now.Liu Yunfeng looked outside, but saw the Beiyang soldiers outside, each with a respectful attitude, he was immediately overjoyed, and thought: Let me just say, although Zhang Jingyao is a bandit, he is not too careless. It is absolutely unnecessary for him to kill me, of course he would not would do such a stupid thing.

When the sedan chair arrived at Naxi, Beiyang soldiers asked Liu Yunfeng out of the sedan chair to rest.Liu Yunfeng took a walk for a while, and then saw the sumptuous meal being served, he was overjoyed and ate a hearty meal.

After dinner, Liu Yunfeng got into the sedan chair again, accompanied by two brigade commanders of the Beiyang Army, and marched towards Luzhou.Before arriving at Luzhou, I could already hear the sound of gongs and drums and the fluttering of red flags in front of me. It turned out that it was the fathers and folks in Luzhou city who, under the arrangement of the Beiyang Army, went out of the city to welcome the National Defense Army.At this time, Liu Yunfeng was already full of surprises, knowing that he must have made a lot of money this time.

When the sedan chair arrived in Luzhou, I saw four people, all alike, running towards Liu Yunfeng: Hahaha, little brother, you miss me so much.

Liu Yunfeng abandoned the sedan chair, burst out crying, and rushed forward, looking at the four weird people who looked exactly the same in front of him, and fell into a painful search: Damn, the four of you brothers look exactly the same, which one is my eldest brother? ?

It is implied in the book that these four people are the four sons born to a hardworking peasant woman in Huoshan, Anhui, named Zhang Jingyao, Zhang Jingshun, Zhang Jingyu and Zhang Jingtang.These four strange names were given in the hope that these four children, when they grow up, can be like the ancient Ming Jun Yao, Shun and Yutang, and at least do something decent.

When the four children grew up, they lived up to their parents' expectations, and became bandits in the mountains, robbing boys during the day and dominating girls at night. They lived a very happy life.One day, the brothers were sitting in the bandit's lair to divide the money. Suddenly they saw the fourth brother Zhang Jingtang, wearing hemp shoes, wearing a gossip Taoist robe, and entering with a worried expression on his face, saying: "The three brothers are still foolishly happy. Here comes the disaster.

Zhang Jingyao, Zhang Jingshun, and Zhang Jingyu were taken aback: Fourth brother, why are you so nervous?
I heard the fourth brother, Zhang Jingtang, say, "It's good to teach the three brothers to know that there is now a great hero who stands up to heaven and earth. Kill ten thousand Japanese soldiers, elder brother, second brother, third brother, do you think our calamity has arrived?
The boss Zhang Jingyao was puzzled: No matter how powerful the person you are talking about, he has nothing to do with us. How can we say that it is a disaster?

The fourth brother Zhang Jingtang said sadly: Brother, don’t you know?It is said that the man was training soldiers at Xiaozhan at this time, recruiting all the heroes in the world.If this person becomes powerful, there will be no place for our brothers to live in the rivers and lakes?So I say disaster has arrived.

The boss Zhang Jingyao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: This is not a disaster, it is a great blessing!Hurry up, second, third, and fourth, let's clean up the gold and silver, burn down the lair, and go down the mountain to join that great hero. Isn't it good for our Zhang family brothers to make a career chance?

The second child, Zhang Jingshun, said urgently: "A good opportunity is a good opportunity, but brothers, when we get to the barracks, don't tell us that we are bandits, in case that big hero turns his face and uses our brothers to sacrifice the knife." , that would be miserable.

Zhang Jingyao shook his head resolutely: Wrong, second child, you are very wrong.When we meet that great hero, we will not only tell the story of being a bandit, but also forbid him to hide anything.It must be known that if a person is a great hero who stands up to the sky, he must have a pair of eyes to know people. Rather than being seen through by his insight, it is better for our brothers to confess frankly, which will easily impress the great hero.

So the four brothers of the Zhang family wrapped up a small package and went to Yuan Shikai.When he signed up, he explained in detail how he was a bandit. Yuan Shikai was shocked when he heard this, and immediately summoned his four brothers, and asked, "Many of the people who came to the small station to join the army were bandits and hooligans, but they all kept secrets and kept secrets." , but the four of you have revealed all your old backgrounds. What is the reason that makes you so careless?
Zhang Jingyao reported: "It's good to teach the great hero to know that since our brothers have come to join us, it means that we have changed from evil to righteousness, and we have no second thoughts."As the saying goes, everything before is like dying yesterday, and everything after that is like being born tomorrow.If we keep secrets in our hearts and dare not be open and aboveboard, how can we make a career?

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed and said: Well, being a bandit is not terrible, the terrible thing is that a man dare not face his own heart.Since you four brothers have such determination, then I can rest assured.That's fine, which one of you is the boss... Forget it, tell me that I won't remember next time, anyway, I now appoint your boss as the platoon leader, and this platoon leader also belongs to the four of you brothers.Train me well, and you will have opportunities in the future.

From then on, the four Zhang Jingyao brothers trained in Xiaozhan and became more capable people under Yuan Shikai's subordinates.When the Second Revolution of China was funded by Japan's Mitsui Foundation, Zhang Jingyao, as the head of the regiment, accompanied the Sixth Town of the Beiyang Assault Division into Jiangxi, where he attacked party member Li Liejun and made military exploits.So Yuan Shikai said to him: "Xiao Yaozi, you are very good at fighting. I am optimistic about you and I plan to promote you to be brigade commander."However, I heard that you are good at leading troops. If you can bring out a division, I will give you a division commander.

Zhang Jingyao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately recruited troops, and quickly expanded the strength of a division, and then reported to Yuan Shikai: "President, I have gathered a division of troops here. You promised me to be the division commander. You will definitely not be foolish." Bar?
Yuan Shikai laughed loudly after receiving the telegram, and showed the telegram to everyone: Look, look, this Zhang Jingyao actually cheated on me, hahaha, then give him a teacher.

So Zhang Jingyao was really promoted to teacher commander.

Although Zhang Jingyao has a way of training soldiers, he is an out-and-out old man. During the implementation of the imperial system, he ate at Tongxing Restaurant in Beijing and yelled: "The president wants to be the emperor, so do it if you want, and the next imperial edict That's it, what kind of petitions and public opinions are there, this is called taking off your pants and farting, it's superfluous.

This remark was immediately reported to Yuan Shikai by a colleague. Yuan Shikai was furious, and shouted: Tell this bastard to shut up!

After yelling in public and closing the door, Yuan Shikai was very happy in his heart, thinking that the four brothers Zhang Jingyao were really sensible.

There are gossip circulating in the market, saying that Zhang Jingyao is really a big boss, how rough is it?So rough that he dared to hit Zeng Guofan's great-granddaughter.
