Chapter 128

It is unrealistic to expect that words can convince these Beiyang veterans. Everyone admits that fighting is not as good as Fang Jianxiong, but asking these people to bow down is nonsense. Fang Jianxiong does not hold much hope for these people.

. To be objective, before this, among the people playing mahjong on the table, which one was not a man of influence? Which one was not a powerful figure in the one-third of an acre of his own land? Fang Jianxiong did not ask them to be convinced, as long as they did not cause trouble for himself.

.

"I wonder what Marshal Fang is going to do with us people?" Cao Kun, who was once nicknamed the Fool, asked another question that is of great concern to everyone. Let's put it this way, no one will be willing to be lonely and withdraw from the stage of history.

However, Beiyang is about to become a thing of the past. Although there are people who cannot see the situation clearly and are stubborn, more people will make new choices. No matter who is on stage, they have to use people. Beiyang has many talents, and these

Talents have had shining points in history. For Fang Jianxiong, if he has talents and is willing to abide by the rules, then he can put them to good use.

As the winner, Fang Jianxiong naturally has the power to deal with these people. Under normal circumstances, these people would either disarm and return to work, or go to an idle department. How to deal with these people? Fang Jianxiong actually didn't think about it, but there are

Fang Jianxiong decided to use two people. One was Wu Peifu and the other was Chen Huan. In the Battle of Xuzhou, Chen Huan was the one who fought the most brilliantly. Otherwise, if his army had too many recruits and the equipment was much inferior, Chen Huan would not have been defeated.

He was defeated so quickly. Let’s not talk about Wu Peifu, he is famous. As for his personality, it is not a problem in Fang Jianxiong’s opinion.

"Everyone, how about this? Everyone here, please take a hard trip. First go to Pukou, then go up the river, and walk along Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuhan. After this trip, you can go and stay for yourself.

Just...but..." When the word "but" came out, everyone's hearts jumped a little. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Fang Jianxiong had no ill intentions towards everyone. Don't look at the previous shouts of beating and killing Zhang Xun and Lu Yongxiang.

, I didn’t realize until I arrived at this farm that it was still a delicious and delicious treat.

Everyone has their own tangles in their hearts, nothing more than the word "future". The decline of Beiyang has become a reality in everyone's eyes. Some people are disheartened and are ready to return to their hometown to retire, while others have expectations for Fang Jianxiong and worry about gains and losses.

.

"However, if you are willing to work for the new government, it is not unacceptable. Wu Ziyu and Chen Yangtian, I suggest that when you arrive in Wuhu, you might as well stay a little longer and go to Army University. I will have someone audit it for you two.

"Proof." This sentence is a very naked wooing. Chen Huan is a little better and has a bit of fame. Wu Peifu is somewhat surprised. He is just a regiment leader and is not a famous general yet. Why did Fang Jianxiong fall in love with him?

?

Under the gaze of others, the kind-hearted Wu Peifu simply handed over his hand: "Fushuai, there is something unclear about Wu Peifu. Everyone here is much more capable and famous than me. Why does Fushuai favor me so much?"

Fang Jianxiong was already prepared, but he was not in a hurry to answer him. Instead, he looked at Chen Huan who was hiding in the corner, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yangtian, do you also want to know?" Chen Huan nodded subconsciously.

Fang Jianxiong then said to everyone: "In the entire Eastern Front campaign, the two men who performed best in the Beiyang Army were two. In the Battle of Xuzhou, Chen Huan used a new division to hold off the elite Fifth Division of our National Defense Force for two days.

Don’t think I’m talking nonsense. Not counting the heavy artillery units, the 5th Division of the National Defense Forces has a total strength of 15,000 people and is equipped with a 75 Mountain Artillery Regiment. There are corresponding artillery and heavy machine gun units at the brigade, regiment, and battalion levels.

Support. Light machine guns are equipped to the squad level, and mortars are equipped to the company level. It took two days to defeat such a unit. Although Chen Huan was defeated, it was an honor. As for Wu Ziyu, his luck was even better. The National Defense Forces

The only special operations brigade is your fault. You can go to the special operations brigade later and say it was approved by me."

Wu Peifu nodded subconsciously. When he realized that he was being called stupid, it was already a little late, and his face felt hot.

"It's getting late, let's stop here today. Let's all take a rest early." Fang Jianxiong smiled and left without saying a word, leaving a room full of Beiyang people in a daze. Today's meeting was beyond everyone's expectations.

Fang Fuguo did not show up arrogantly, but acted very friendly. At present, Beijing's attitude is unclear, and everyone thinks it is not bad to take a trip to the autonomous region. It is estimated that after this trip, the overall situation has been decided, and then we can make a choice.

The reality is so ruthless. Although Beiyang seems to still have a hundred thousand troops, in fact everyone knows that Beiyang has been completely defeated. This account is not difficult to calculate. Chen Guangyuan's fourth division and He Zonglian's first division, these two

The division's fortified battle in Jinan was so arduous that it could not be relieved for a month. The two new Beiyang divisions that were subsequently reinforced were in a similar situation. The only ones who could still fight were Wang Zhanyuan's Second Division and Li Chun's Sixth Division.

Of these two divisions, one is stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the other is guarding the country in Beijing. The Sixth Division was defeated on the battlefield of the Ping-Han Line. Otherwise, Li Chun would have been sent south based on his ability.

The other troops can be basically ignored. The ones in Beiyang that can really be brought to the battlefield to fight tough battles are the so-called Six Towns of Old Beiyang. Among them, the first town is still a force dominated by bannermen, and its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

What's more terrible is that there is no danger to defend the vast plains to the north of Jinan. If the IDF's combat effectiveness really continues to fight north, Beiyang will not be able to hold on for too long, and there is even no need to fight. Those local troops who are not particularly loyal will directly

So he surrendered.

To say how tragic the Beiyang Civil War in the history of the Republic of China was was nonsense. Often a local battle was won, and the entire balance of victory was tilted, and then the loser was electrified and dismissed. The Zhi-Wan War, the Zhi-Feng War, and so on.

After this so-called war, the intensity of the battle was incomparable to the subsequent Central Plains War and the Northern Expedition.

Negotiations in Wuhan soon yielded results. Xu Shichang and Sun Baoqi reached an agreement. Yuan Shikai was electrified and resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort. Li Yuanhong temporarily acted as president until a new election was held to determine the presidential candidate. Beiyang ministries stopped resisting and accepted the orders of the National Defense Forces.

Reorganize.

The content of the agreement was telegraphed to Beijing. Yuan Keding went to see Yuan Shikai with the telegram. When he saw his father, he angrily cursed: "Xu Ju people have lost power and humiliated the country. We absolutely cannot accept such conditions. Father, why not invite foreigners to send troops?"

Yuan Shikai looked at his son without saying a word for a long time. If you want to say how incompetent and bastard Yuan Keding is, that would be too much. Looking at the root cause, who has ever been in this position is willing to give up? Yuan Shikai is actually not willing to give up.

But there is no way, my body has been relying on heavy smoking until now, and it has almost reached the point where the fuel is exhausted. When you are doomed to fail, give up everything in front of you, maybe you can live a few more years. The thing of luring the wolf into the house is really

If you do it, is it even more exaggerated than the rebuke received by the restoration?

After all, Yuan Shikai had a bottom line. He sighed and said to Yuan Keding: "Lafayette said back then that he would rather live with outsiders than with domestic slaves. But she is a Manchu and we are Han. It is different!" Yuan Shikai said this, too.

I didn't expect Yuan Keding to understand. When Li Ling is unconscious, people are not very sober.

Yuan Shikai finally called back, accepted the conditions, and left the field.

"Since the Republic of China, there have been many disputes between the north and the south. They are all brothers fighting against each other..." Yuan Shikai still put himself in the position of the president, and then resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort. He also ordered: Beiyang ministries

, we should all put the peaceful and unified Republic of China first, lay down our weapons, and turn hostilities into friendship...

The time is fixed on January 1, 1913. After Yuan Shikai was electrified and resigned, he officially handed over his power and took a train with his family back to Henan to recuperate under the protection of the guards.

On the same day, the various units of the Beiyang Army surrendered their weapons to the National Defense Forces one after another and accepted reorganization. A new era has arrived. Although it is unstoppable, it has created twists and turns.

On this day, Cai E, the governor of Yunnan, electrified the whole country. Once the new presidential election is held, Yunnan will accept the order. Shanxi's Yan Xishan also announced that he will accept the order of the Republic of China. Unfortunately, Yan Xishan in this time and space cannot represent Shanxi, and Taiyuan is still there.

In the hands of Chen Shufan and Wen Shouquan. The situation in Shanxi is now between two parties. The coalition forces of Chen Shufan and Wen Shouquan occupied Taiyuan and faced off with a mixed brigade led by Yan Xishan.

Shaanxi and Sichuan subsequently announced that they would accept the orders of the New Republic of China, and even Yang Zengxin in Xinjiang called in to accept the orders of the New Republic of China government.

The problem arose in the south. On January 2, a mutiny broke out in Zhejiang. Jiang Zungui was surrounded by troops from Zhu Rui and was forced to resign. After Zhu Rui succeeded, he immediately electrified the whole country and Zhejiang joined the ranks of autonomous regions. After Zhejiang received electricity, 1

On March 3, a mutiny broke out in Fujian. Xu Chongzhi captured the city of Fuzhou and declared Fujian's federal-provincial autonomy. On the same day, Chen Jiongming of Guangdong declared federal-provincial autonomy, followed closely by Lu Rongting of Guangxi. Tang Jiyao of Guizhou announced its joining of federal-provincial autonomy one day later.

.On the same day, Zhao Erxun from the Northeast also announced that he would join the joint provincial autonomy and announced Northeast autonomy.

The Republic of China, which had just seen the dawn of peace, seemed to be in chaos again. On January 4, the United Autonomous Region Government called the whole country to cancel autonomy and convert under the unified banner of the Republic of China. On the same day, Li Yuanhong, the acting president of Beijing, called all provincial legislators to go to Beijing.

, hold a presidential election. The specific date is January 30. Those who fail to do so will be deemed to have abstained from voting.

In Beijing, outside the Li Chunbu station of the Sixth Division stationed in Changxindian, Li Chun, with his lips tightly closed, stood at the gate of the barracks, staring at a red flag on the road ahead.

This red flag is guiding the Fourth Division of the National Defense Force. The division commander Li Xiaochuan stayed in Beijing and was treated seriously by Tie Liang. He was later abandoned by Tie Liang because of his character. Now that he has returned to Beijing, things have changed.
