Chapter 76 The Battle of the Beijing-Hankow Line (16)

The brigade rolled southward, and Huyan Aobo, who had been dismissed as the acting commander of the Sixth Division, looked at the southbound brigade with a stiff expression. The order was issued last night, requiring Huyan Aobo to quietly go south immediately and go straight to the direction of Wusheng Pass. For example, Zhula Fengbu

After the sneak attack was successful, reinforcements were immediately sent to cut off the Xiaogan Beiyang Army's retreat route.

Huyan Aobo knew why he was withdrawn. The reason was that he had no way to take advantage of the old money of the landlords in Jiangbei. He was not tough enough when he needed to be tough, and when reorganizing the army in Pukou, too much time was consumed, which delayed the plan to enter Yangzhou.

As a result, Lin Shuqing took the lead.

If he had acted faster, entered Yangzhou first, and won the Lianghuai salt tax for the commander-in-chief, the division commander would have been strengthened now, instead of continuing to be the commander of the 11th Brigade.

Huyan Aobo didn't have any resentment towards Fang Jianxiong, and he didn't have the admiration of the commander. How could he be today? He was still not up to par, so he fell into a beauty trap when he entered Yangzhou City, and asked two skinny horses to be confused by Wu Mi San Dao.

.That is to say, the commander-in-chief thought that he was young, so he dealt with him leniently. The two skinny horses also allowed him to stay, but they just had to send him home. Fang Jianxiong handled these matters in private and did not announce them to the public.

In this regard, Huyan Aobo’s gratitude to the commander-in-chief was overwhelming!

"Order the troops to speed up the march! We must rush to the outskirts of Wusheng Pass on the evening of the 25th."

Li Yuanhong accompanied Sun Baoqi along the way. They met by chance. After Hankou was recovered, Li Yuanhong, as the governor, naturally wanted to come over and have a sense of presence. He never expected to meet Sun Baoqi on the dock. They were both officials of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Baoqi's

His position was much higher than that of Li Yuanhong, so there was no need to mention it. Therefore, Li Yuanhong still bowed in front of Sun Baoqi.

There are many things that Li Yuanhong has never understood. It is obviously a stupid thing to challenge the British. Why can't so many people understand it? Fang Jianxiong howled. So many people moved towards him as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.

Sun Baoqi seemed to be in good spirits. He went from being the governor of Shandong to becoming the post-president of Shandong, and then to being the governor. Then he was abolished and became governor, and then he was forced to resign. During this period, Sun Baoqi had a lot of ups and downs.

Bundle.

The incident in Shandong. I originally thought that I would be dormant for a long time, but I never thought that the student Fang Jianxiong would suddenly show his power, march eastward and northward, and then directly start a war against the Beiyang Army. The terrible thing is that he is quite capable of fighting. This guy, Sun Baoqi

His waist has become much straighter. A few days ago, Fang Jianxiong went crazy and challenged the British. Sun Baoqi was so frightened that he hurried down south to persuade the students not to be impulsive. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Anqing, Yuan Shikai's telegram came after him.

A man with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War was dedicated to discussing peace talks with Fang Jianxiong.

This change made Sun Baoqi feel like he was falling into the clouds, and he was at a loss as to why. When the ship arrived at Hankou, he heard that Hankou had been recaptured. When he got off the ship, he didn't expect to encounter Li Yuanhong coming across the river. The two exchanged a few words, and Li Yuanhong's words were a bit offbeat.

Sour. Sun Baoqi was confused again, and soon realized that Fang Jianxiong and Li Yuanhong really didn't have the same feelings. Look, this time, the students sent troops to Hankou, not to help, but to seize territory?

With this understanding, Sun Baoqi was relieved. How could the elite soldiers trained by Fang Jianxiong do such a stupid thing as making wedding clothes for others? As for Li Yuanhong's life and death, Sun Baoqi was not worried about it, but he had some ambitions. Yuan Shikai just relied on

Did the Beiyang Army force him to leave? Sun Baoqi could remember the kindness of Zhang Yongcheng, the commander of the Fifth Town, who sent troops to "stand guard" outside the Governor's Mansion every day for the rest of his life.

I heard that Fang Jianxiong had soldiers from six towns. Judging from his attitude of daring to directly wage war against Beiyang, it was hard to believe. Sun Baoqi couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, how did this student do it, so many soldiers appeared at once, and he was so capable?

Call me. I'll make sure to ask carefully when I get back.

"The person coming ahead is Fuguo, right?" Seeing the cavalry appearing on the road ahead, Li Yuanhong raised his finger and spoke.

Sun Baoqi stopped and stared, and sure enough, in the light morning mist, there was a fast horse in front, followed by a team of horses, the sound of horse hooves was rapid, and a gust of wind was blowing like a dragon out of the sea.

Ten steps away, Fang Jianxiong had already turned over and dismounted, striding forward. Three steps away, he looked at Sun Baoqi who was standing still. After Fang Jianxiong stood still, he knelt down and said, "The student saluted the teacher. After learning about the incident in Shandong, the student

Su Ye sighed with sorrow. Yuan Xiangcheng repeatedly said that the teacher was a kind-hearted person, but he was afraid that he would be killed because of it. Later, he learned that the teacher had resigned, and he felt relieved. "

Sun Baoqi didn't expect such a scene when they met, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't bother to wipe it off, but Sun Baoqi had already taken a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Fang Jianxiong up and said: "Fuguo, get up quickly. If you can save your life as a teacher, it will be better."

We have tens of thousands of strong soldiers outside to support the country."

Sun Baoqi's words are not based on imagination. Yuan Shikai may not have the intention to kill him, but there is no guarantee that the people below will do something dirty for the position of governor. If Fang Jianxiong is not outside, the result is really hard to say. (Author: There are many sayings in history.

What is unclear is that Wu Luzhen was killed. The murderer Zhou Fulin said that Yuan Shikai instigated it. However, when Zhou Fulin received the silver reward, he was at Liangbi's place. And Liangbi was Wu Luzhen's friend. It can be seen that for many historical things, the truth is often

Covered.)

Fang Jianxiong took advantage of the trend, but he still cared deeply about this teacher. In Wuhu for several years, without the protective umbrella of this teacher, Fang Jianxiong would not have been able to develop so steadily, and it would be difficult for him to fall into Zhu Jiabao's eyes. With such a teacher

existence, Fang Jianxiong has the aura of a loyal minister on his head.

And Sun Baoqi did do a lot for this student, including the impeachment of Fang Jianxiong by the Chief Secretary of Anhui, which was also settled by Sun Baoqi.

"Brother Song Qing is here too!" Fang Jianxiong pretended to have just seen Li Yuanhong. This guy is quite thick-skinned. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The meeting between master and apprentice is extremely touching. I will help the country regain Hankou, so naturally this governor will come and take a look."

Fang Jianxiong automatically filtered out Li Yuanhong's hint and did not mention the troop withdrawal at all. He directly said to Li Yuanhong: "Brother Song Qing, if you want to accompany the teacher, I won't accompany you around."

The corners of Li Yuanhong's mouth twitched a few times, and he did not dare to look directly at Fang Jianxiong. He lowered his head and walked quickly. Tang Hualong, who was holding out his hand, hurriedly saluted Fang Jianxiong, and then caught up with Li Yuanhong and the others.

Watching Li Yuanhong disappear, Fang Jianxiong sneered. Sun Baoqi said in a low voice beside him: "Li Songqing probably hates you to the core!" Fang Jianxiong smiled at Sun Baoqi, raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said in a calm tone: "So what?

? When the Beiyang soldiers are pressing down on the border and Hanyang is in danger, why can't he cross the river? Now he is trying to steal the fruits of victory. I can promise him, but the tens of thousands of soldiers under me cannot agree!"

Speaking of tens of thousands of soldiers, Sun Baoqi became more energetic. He quickly grabbed Fang Jianxiong's hand and asked: "Fuguo, how did you get these soldiers? How can you train these tens of thousands of troops without tens of millions of taels?"

Fang Jianxiong raised his hand to support Sun Baoqi's hand and said with a smile: "The teacher is an expert, and he has indeed spent a lot of money, tens of millions of taels. For this team, the students have worked so hard to build a little family fortune, which is almost enough."

Sun Baoqi was stunned when he heard this, then he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "So, it's the right time for me to come as a teacher?"

Fang Jianxiong quickly flattered him and said: "The teacher is wise! The students are worried that there is no mature person around them to remind them that since the teacher is here, don't leave. If you stay, the government affairs in Anhui and Hubei will be in charge of the teacher from now on.

.”

A big cake was drawn, and Sun Baoqi's heart was pounding. It was obvious that Fang Jianxiong decided to stay in Wuhan and not leave. With Li Yuanhong's little strength, how could he dare to challenge Fang Jianxiong?

"It's not urgent. Let's talk about the peace talks first. How far should they go?" Sun Baoqi became more energetic and lost Shandong. It was actually a blessing in disguise. The students secured a large territory and left it to him to manage.

As a teacher, Sun Baoqi doesn't want to eat what's ready-made, so she wants to help gain some benefits first.

Fang Jianxiong supported Sun Baoqi and walked forward slowly, and asked with a smile: "Teacher, tell me first, what does Yuan Xiangcheng mean?"

Sun Baoqi snorted and said: "Except for five million taels, what Yuan Xiangcheng means is easy to say."

Fang Jianxiong laughed loudly and said: "He is quite shrewd. I conquered the territory. If he doesn't give it to me, is it still occupied? Is it possible that if he doesn't give it to me, others will give it to him? Today, warlords from all over the world have

The trend of self-respect for soldiers is gradually taking shape. Just look at the people in Nanjing who are jumping up and down, but they can't get out even a single soldier. Among the 17 provinces in the country that have been liberated, who is not making his own calculations? Isn't he closing the door behind him?

The joy of fighting in the province is to constantly recruit troops and expand the power."

Speaking of this, Sun Baoqi said with deep emotion: "This is the truth. I just regret that my teacher believed in Yuan Xiangcheng and failed to take precautions in time, so he left in a hurry. Hey, Yuan Xiangcheng has been running Shandong for many years, and he can't see it on weekdays.

Once we get a clue, if something happens, we will know that everyone in Shandong is his. If it weren't for the students from Fuguo who helped train ten battalions, I would have fallen under Zhang Yongcheng's sword."

Mentioning this, Fang Jianxiong perked up and said, "How are they now?"

"Before taking office as a teacher, Qi Zhenghong, Xing Nan, Li Daxiong, Liu Mieyue, and Xia Xiang led their troops to Jiaodong to quell the rebellion. If they hadn't been watching Jinan's back in Jiaodong, how would Zhang Yongcheng have excused himself?

Not moving in Jinan? They have long been forced to go south to Bengbu!" Sun Baoqi was not a vegetarian. Before leaving, he arranged for Yuan Shikai to go to Jiaodong with ten patrol battalions. Now it is considered a separate country. Having said this, Sun Baoqi was still proud of himself.

He took out a stack of money orders and handed them to Fang Jianxiong: "Fuguo, here is the money borrowed from foreigners to build the railway. After borrowing eight million taels, there are still three million taels left. Zhang Yongcheng keeps forcing me to take out the money.

These coins, hehe! If Fu Guo is beating him hard outside, he has to let him go as a teacher!"

Sun Baoqi burst into a proud smile! This old fox! (To be continued)
