Chapter 108: Fighting intention

On February 1, 1913, Yuchen was in the original office of Gaochang Temple. He used it as his office as the governor of the Shanghai Military Government. Now he was another commander of his political development. He was meeting General Cai E. This famous Yunnan general worked for Yuan Shikai for a while in Beijing. However, he had been contacting Bai Siwen and the General Staff of Jiangbei Army, which was in charge of Jiangbei. Duan Qirui had not heard of this matter until now. The only thing this Beiyang general could do was roar in pain and anger in his own mansion: "Songpo misled me."

! "The stubborn Duan Qirui naturally blamed Cai E for his final failure in the battle between the north and south in the middle and south of last year, and the lack of fighting spirit and poor equipment of many Beiyang troops. This was naturally a comfort for Duan Qirui, but in Yuchen's view, even if there were no grass-gray snake lines arranged by himself, the failure of Beiyang was inevitable. After all, they represented an old era. When emerging forces were vigorously rising on the other end of the horizon, it was a natural thing for them to bury the era they were in. They may not understand these things, and even Yuchen himself only had a vague feeling.

Cai E looked a little thin. As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Yuchen invited American doctors to treat his old throat disease. The doctor's advice was fresh air and rest. It was best to leave China and go there for a long vacation. However, when all forces are constantly interacting and the situation is changing so much that they are overwhelmed. Cai E rejected Yuchen's plan to send him to the United States for recuperation, and he still stayed in Shanghai. When this era is changing violently, Cai E didn't want to be out.

Yuchen looked at Cai E in good spirits and smiled at him, "Mr. Songpo, it seems that you are recovering well! How have you been eating recently? Is it normal? Is it still going to run a lap of horses every day?" He guessed Cai E's purpose, but wanted to avoid this topic. His tone was full of avoidance and slap in his voice. Although he respected Cai E, he was not yet at the point of being intimate.

Cai E looked at Yuchen's pretending to be relaxed and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Commander Yu, thank you very much this time. When I arrived in Shanghai, I arranged for me to have a check-up and treatment. The American doctor said that if my throat was dragged on for a while, it would probably develop cancer. You have saved my life! I lived in Shanghai very comfortably, and I also equipped me with enough service staff. I lived in a large villa. I even took care of my habit of riding horses... What should I say? To be disrespectful, your age is no less than that of Yuan Weiting at that time."

Yuchen was listening to Cai E's words with a smile on his face, but when he heard him say Yuan Weiting, he felt sank. Cai Songpo turned the topic lightly! He talked with Chen Zhuo for almost a night last night and was setting up all aspects of the election to be held on February 15. Which party needs to be suppressed, which parties can contact, and which characters need to win over what position. He worked hard to design better plans, which must not only make the best sound, but also ensure that he can get the greatest benefits in it.

At this time in the morning, I was extremely tired. But Cai E came to visit again. In his short days in Shanghai, he had already written two or three letters to him, asking him to win the hearts of the Beiyang people and try his best to recruit old talents in Beiyang. He said that they have experience and ability, and are also the most politically experienced group in China now, and they still have it in BeiChina. If they can combine with them and gather these now clueless Beiyang forces together, Yuchen's strong position will not be shaken.

But Yuchen has always been unanimous to his proposal. He was also worried that the power of Beiyang came out of the old era after all. They were too complicated with the traditional Chinese forces, and some things were too heavy to return. Combine them under his command. First, there will be conflicts with the basic forces under his command. Second, their potential power is indeed too great. If it is difficult to control the situation, how can I control them in the future? The final reason is his ambition. He really wants to get rid of many of the old eras.

Bonding, so that he can let go and create a new China with his own personal imprint in his own way. After all, Beiyang is already a thing of the past. However, he cannot say these words to Cai E with confidence, and even his subordinates can't be clearly and transparent. Many times, his thoughts need to be guessed. If this is a mental skill that the superiors must have, then he has done a good job now. The environment is the best way to transform a person. He is no longer an ordinary white-collar worker who plays with some mental skills in the original era.

So he just smiled and said something endless to Cai E: "Mr. Songpo really praised me so much. I just followed everyone's public opinion and did something. What's going on in the future? Let's see what's going on now... What's important now is your physical problems. You and Brother Baili are two major players in our country's military. You are far more talented than brothers. You will have a long time to borrow money in the future! So now you must keep your health well, and you don't have to worry about everything? This will happen?"

Cai E looked at Yuchen with a flash of eyes and looked at him carefully for a while. Yuchen was also calm and just looked at him with a smile. The expression in his eyes was full of warm care. If someone else would have been moved by him, he might be so moved by him. However, Cai E only smiled bitterly in his heart. In just over a year of history of the Republic of China, two strong men had changed into politics. Yuan Shikai's style was very powerful. He had a strong sense of power and skills. With official positions and titles and salaries, he had a lot of hands on the world, but he considered more about the interests of the group and even personal. Later, state affairs were placed behind these selfish thoughts. This was the reason why he was defeated and the reason why he was always defeated by Yuchen. In politics, he was more about sticking to his shortcomings. Judging from his approach, there was no change from the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty. He was just wearing a robe as the president of the Republic of China.

Although Yuchen is not as good as Yuan Shikai in terms of power and skills, his methods of winning people are similar to that of him. But he is more of a right medicine, not just using official positions and titles to seduce people. Look at the Qing Army Association he organized, and his reaction to the national war is so fierce and generous, he understands. He knows what people want! At least so far, there are not many things to consider for personal selfishness, and some ways to strengthen his own power and position are also the subject of the question. It would be strange if he did not do this! The most important thing is that Cai E also discovered it keenly, and Yuchen knew this

The country can no longer maintain its old pace and practices! The trend of the times is vast, and this country that is difficult to return does need reform and change. However, no one has the answer to this change at any time. He just hopes that Yuchen will not follow Yuan Shikai's footsteps and use a group as the basis for competing for the world. In the end, he is confined to this group and cannot show the world to the public. In the end, the national trend will be corrupted by the struggle between party struggles and intrigues. How much does this country need to work together to build with knowledgeable people in the world!

He finally spoke. No matter how unwilling Yuchen was to listen to him and say his opinions in person, he felt that he had to say it. Cai E's voice was far away, and it seemed to have a little bit of gold and stone sounded: "Commander Yu, my body is really irrelevant... If I had some illnesses in the past, I was also seeing the destruction of state affairs day by day, but I was powerless to hurry up! Now Yuan Shikai has fallen, and the heavy responsibility has fallen on your shoulders. Now the world is so big that there is no power to compete with you head-on..."

He thought about the words and his expression became more and more serious: "Now he still has strength. No matter which strength it is, it is nothing more than the remnants of the Beiyang and the DPR forces of the Tongmenghui. Commander Yu has given the DPR and won them to his own position. This is also the concept of both sides, and it has some similar meanings. However, for so many years, Beiyang has been in operation, and Beiyang personnel are spread all over the central and local areas. Now Commander Yu's approach to them has been temporarily maintained perfunctory. The 200,000 Beiyang troops have only given four divisions. The central department is now completely overturned! If we advance to Shandong, except for one governor, all the other officials will be withdrawn. What will happen in the future is conceivable. This is not the case.

Give them a way out! If these people have no way out, what will they do? When the Qing Dynasty stopped the eight-legged examination and blindly handed over the national military and political power to local powerful factions or students who have returned from studying abroad. Those scholars who hoped to pass the imperial examination had no way out and joined the new army in large numbers. In the end, the new army became gravediggers of the Qing Dynasty. I was born in the new army, so these are very clear! The commander now treats Beiyang, although the situation is different from that time, the truth is the same! The commander does need to have a place for them. To say a heart-wrenching word, it is also a restraining balance for the power of the Democratic Party! The skills and experience of these talents and military officials cannot be wasted!"

This was really heart-to-heart talk, and Yu Chen stood up suddenly and walked in the hall with his hands behind his back. How long has it been since he heard such a completely honest conversation with him? Yu Chen looked at Cai E with a complicated expression and said, and said in a chair. It makes sense! He Zhuoran, who had been sticking to his opinions, was intentionally or unintentionally left out of the core circle. Wu Cai was just busy doing things, and was a loyal executor of his policies. He almost never objected to his decision. Chen Shanhe was his blind admirer, so don't expect to hear any suggestions from him. Li Zhangyun was just his butler, just

He only nagged him a few times when he spent money. Last time he was dismissed by him, but his expression was a little vigilant now. Chen Zhuo is a gun for his party politics, but the gun is a gun, so he still has to listen to his master. Jiang Baili could still maintain his thoughts and status as an equal, but since he expressed his loyalty, this equality has been maintained more and more on the face. The ups and downs since the Tianjin Conference, he did so unexpectedly, and he has been even more convinced since then. In this way, Jiang Baili is just another Wu Cai. Only this black and thin middle-aged man can say such helpful and understand Wuyin's words to him!

It turned out that when Yuchen was reading history, he had a high reputation for General Cai E. Now that he had personally come into contact with him, he realized that he was truly an unparalleled national scholar. Although he was considering himself, he thought that the country would settle down as soon as possible so that he could build it together and to be united in the outside world. If he could know that Zhao Bingjun and Xu Shuzheng were already conspiring to deal with him at this time, he would have admired Cai E's foresight even more.

Yuchen finally turned around and looked at Cai E attentively, but his voice was very calm: "Listen to you, it is better than reading for ten years... Mr. Songpo, even if you want to go to the United States for recuperation now, I can't let you go. You are responsible for a name for me, and help me pick up the leftovers while recuperating. My brother is young, and I often do things that I don't think carefully about. I need to give you more opinions. Look at the name of the general counsel of the temporary military affairs department? I'm afraid I'm too wronged... I must consider the opinions my husband said carefully. Originally, in the north, I just asked Yang Xizi to treat the Beiyang military and political leaders in general. Now it seems that this matter has to be changed! But I have to consider what step to do......"

While he was calculating in his mind, he saw his deputy general Wang Dengke strode into his office with an anxious look. He originally wanted to report something to him, but when he saw Cai E present, he hesitated for a moment. Yuchen waved his hand impatiently: "Mr. Songpo is my general consultant, you can say anything in person!"

Wang Dengke stood at the right time and said loudly: "Sima Shenzu called from the Tiger's War Room. The 1st Division of the Anmeng Army in the Northeast Front had already exchanged fire with the Japanese army. A small team of the Japanese army was completely wiped out by the Langjuxu Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Division of the Anmeng Army in the 1st Division of the Anmeng Army! The 5th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army blocked the Anmeng Army's road to the north on both sides of the Liaohe River. Now General Staff General Wu, Mr. Baili and others have gathered in the Tiger's War Room, waiting for the commander to discuss and respond!"

Cai E and Yuchen made a surprised voice at the same time: "What!"

Since Tao Dingnan and others contacted the rear, the radio station has no longer had the signal from the rear. He has been calmly disguising the troops to set up defense. After knowing that they had failed to exchange fire, the Kwantung Army would definitely retaliate. What countermeasures should he take? In addition to the Kwantung Army attacking, he would definitely fight back. For other successors, these must be asked for instructions from the rear! Should the Kwantung Army defeat the Kwantung Army in front of him and advance into Fengtian, or temporarily Rong Ruo retreated and search for other roads to advance? He was full of irritability, if he could do it simply

How good is this battle? Although the 1st Division of the Anmeng Army only launched its defense in a marching formation. However, the 1st Division had a total of five main regiments, more than 14,000 officers and soldiers in the entire division, equipped with elves and trained elves. The 3,000 civilians and more than 600 large trucks advancing with the army were loaded with sufficient food and ammunition. The officers and soldiers of the South Manchuria Railway Guard of all six brigades of the Kwantung Army were only more than 11,000. He was sure to let his opponent suffer a great loss! However, he knew that this kind of battle plan could not be decided by himself! There were not so many lawless people in the world like the "cannon fodder marquis".

Tao Dingnan watched his troops cut down trees, build fortifications, carry ammunition, and act like he was beaten in the snow. He felt so depressed that he hit his high-waisted leather military boots with a horse whip: "Damn it, when will our army still give in to these Japanese pirates in their own territory? One day I have to lead the army to beat them all!"

Wang Ting stood beside him and directed the engineers to quickly build the division command there. This so-called division command was just to dig a hole in a hillside where the leeward was in the front. There was a bulletproof chest wall made of logs in front of it. The radio and generators were all in the division headquarters. It was cold and the engineers made fire to roast the hillside. Only then did the German engineers' picks be eaten. Hundreds of engineers were busy and sweaty, but they were also busy.

He looked at Tao Dingnan in a daze, with sparks splashing in his eyes. He patted him: "Dingnan, what kind of reaction do you think the Japanese army will have? How big is their troops?" Tao Dingnan was a little surprised. Isn't this the job of your chief of staff? Now it's your question? He and Wang Ting had a relationship with each other. They used to be just one-on-one, but now they have a bad temper. Wang Ting looked a little unkind. Wang Ting didn't care about his attitude. Originally, the staff officers in the Jiangbei Army were famous for being too arrogant, but Tao Ding was aware of Tao Ding's appearance.

This division commander is not an ordinary commander. He is Yuchen's deputy commander who came to lead the army. Yuchen's most caring backbone general! Wang Ting could only smile lightly and put forward his own judgment: "The Japanese army is used to being arrogant. I just talked with the Feng army's liaison officer. In order for the North Korean peasants to be bullied, they can send regular military and police from Kanto Prefecture to shoot and shoot at the Feng army. This time they were here to trouble us. If they find this excuse, they will definitely take revenge! It is very possible to launch a formal attack on us!"

Tao Dingnan snorted: "We are not Fengmen! They are going to come up to seek death, which is not the best! I will defeat them across the Liaohe River! The 5th Division of the Kwantung Army is all coming up!" Wang Ting frowned and said: "I don't have to be afraid. The cavalry search troops have been sent out again to find out the movements of the Japanese army. However, according to my estimate, the Japanese army has reached a maximum of six or seven thousand people, twenty or thirty cannons, and unlike us who are preparing for battle, the ammunition must not be sufficient. We three

The regiment launched defense, and the regiment was prepared. The 1st Artillery Regiment had 24 Qiwu Mountain Cannons, 12 field cannons, and 4 107 mortars, plus the firepower of the brigade. The Japanese devils were not enough to fight! But if we were entangled on both sides of the Liao River, it would be very likely that from military wars to political wars. How can our Nanman Suppression Plan be completed? What I am most worried about is probably this problem that the Commander, General Staff Chief Wu, Director Sima and others are worried about!"

Wang Ting is worthy of being a standard staff officer trained by Jiang Baili. In addition to the staff business, there are also strategically important things. He said it with concern, which made Tao Dingnan take a breath. After a long time, he frowned and turned his head and said: "I have been with the commander for a long time, and he will definitely not give in to the Japanese. Even if we are in a stalemate here, Zhuo Ran will come up soon! Can the Kwantung Army still be the opponent of our entire An Meng Army? The masters of the Nanman guys were defeated. How many dozens of them can they afford to eat? According to me, the commander's call will only have one instruction, which is to fight!"

The cavalry troops of the "Wolf Juxu" cavalry regiment were sent out again. This time, they dispatched seven or eight companies of cavalry to conduct a wide-front search. In the wind and snow, they advanced all the way to the Liaohe River, and they vaguely heard the sound of warlocks constantly conveying orders. But they didn't know what the symbol of this agreement meant. However, these cavalry followed the orders of their regiment commander Hou Ming and kept moving forward until they met with the Japanese devils. They figured out what they were doing now? The Second Lieutenant Fukuda Rongzhi, who was captured alive by them, was really a damn tough guy. Before they were taken back to the division headquarters, they had already beaten up on the road, but they didn't speak. Thinking that the enemy they were facing was such a tough guy, the adrenal hormones of the regiment commander Hou Ming rushed up, and fighting with such foreign enemies was a little smell! In front of my ferocity, there was no tenacity as they were!

Hou Ming rode on the horse, and continued to lead the team forward without knowing how tired he was. He had no intention of guilt and self-blame for him to open fire and provoke the current situation. Why are you guys, who are the ones who are doing the power of our land? What kind of cock exercises are you?

The crisp sound of the ping-hook unique to Japanese rifles suddenly rang out on the left, and then it sounded in a circle. Then the sound of the German carbines of the Wolf Juxu Cavalry Regiment was heard, and in a blink of an eye it was a group and could not be separated. Hou Ming immediately kept his waist and back, cursing fiercely for some unknown emotion: "Fuck it up! What unit on the left?"

A cavalry company commander next to him carefully identified it and said with certainty: "The coyotes of the Eighth Company! Even the machine guns were used... and the sound of grenade explosion! They must have encountered the Japanese brigade!" Hou Ming reviewed left and right and said loudly: "Blow the trumpet! Torture the 2nd Company from the left, and we will go to the right to support the Eighth Company! The gunshot is an order. If the enemy is weak, we will eat him. If the enemy is strong, we will respond to the Eighth Company retreat! Damn, don't be the Japanese attacking in the snow!"

The eighth company of the cavalry, the eighth company, claimed that it was a coyote company. The fight was still the Japanese searching force. They did find out that all the members of the Fukuda Eizhi team died in battle and the team leader disappeared. The information was quickly sent to the division commander Dakiya Kuzang. The division commander was stunned for a long time. This should be what the An Meng army did! A cavalry team in front had discovered them! These Chinese troops dared to open fire on the Japanese Imperial Army? He didn't know what it felt. The first thought was that the young and strong officers of the Kwantung Army had found an excuse to be involved in the current incident in Manchuria on a large scale! For the honor of the imperial army, they also had to punish the Chinese army in front of them! The second thought was that they had only two unsatisfied infantry companies.

With half a cavalry company, a field artillery brigade and a mountain artillery squadron to which the Fifth Artillery Company belonged. The ammunition was only half a base. The Japanese Army's days were not very rich. If the entire An Meng Army really came, his division would suffer a loss? In a blink of an eye, he denied his thoughts. He knew the Chinese army very well. In the early days, he was just a small lieutenant in the Japanese-Qing War. In the Battle of Jinzhou, their squadron destroyed more than 3,000 defenders. The weapons and ammunition seized in the city were piled up like mountains! If the Imperial Army had a decisive attack, they would have to be defeated and retreated! At that time, the situation in South Manchuria might have stabilized. Now, God knows what the Beiyang generals at both ends of the head and rat will do!

Maybe he was the first hero of Nan Manchuria for the empire! Everything was to repel the An Meng army in front of him! Let China no longer have the courage to send troops outside the pass! The death of a small team of Japanese cavalry was the sacrifice of the Great Japanese Empire to win Manchuria and offered the altar! The old, slick politicians of Democracy in the Taisho era in China had no reason to interfere with the Kanto Army! As the son of a middle-level samurai of the Choshu vassal, although Kuzo Okiya was fifty-one years old, he felt that his heart was still beating with the young and strong officers. He has always been the first beloved division commander of the Japanese Empire and the helmsman of the 5th Division, the pioneer of the Great Japanese Empire's mainland policy.

He made up his mind and immediately summoned two infantry companies, the company captains of the 21st and 41st companies, to discuss the offensive plan. The 5th Cavalry Company was also sent out to conduct a broad frontal search to find out the movements of the opposite Chinese army. When the snow dipped and the artillery could perform its role, the two companies were concentrated on the southern bank of the Liao River and launched a decisive punishment operation against the Chinese army!

He expected to pay 150 casualties and consume 200 shells, and he should be able to kill the so-called famous Anmeng Army Division of the opposite China, and ran away with his head in his arms! Thinking of this, Dashiya Kuzhao was waiting for the two company captains to arrive, and returned to his temporary headquarters of the division and wrote a divine position "The Spirit of the All of Futian Rongzhi Squad in Heaven" and silently clasped his hands together to pray. You have become Buddhas, so let's see us below!
