The journey starts from the Titanic

"Mr. Situ, this is the result you want to see! You have caught up with a good opportunity."

Wu Hao looked at Situ Nandao with a complex expression, and the two had been standing in the square for a long time.

"It's a great achievement to do what you say!" he added.

"Hehe--hehe--hehe!" Situ Nan smiled confidently, and his heart was agitated. Although the declaration of the Northern Expedition was more than a month later than in history, the victory is solid!

Situ Nan felt more and more that he was writing new history.

Chapter 56 The Northern Expedition (4) Beijing Coup

The Guangzhou government resolutely sent troops to the Northern Expedition, which has become the hottest topic nowadays. The "Declaration of the Northern Expedition" has been reprinted in major newspapers and tabloids, which made Luoyang paper expensive for a while.

In the gloomy era, the Guangzhou government not only pointed the finger at the Beiyang government, but also sent a strong signal to the big powers. This is undoubtedly a great pleasure, aroused the indignation of countless people, won a good reputation, and created a momentum that swept the country.

When the news reached Shanghai, foreigners on the Bund had to curb their arrogance a little. The ministers of various countries kept in touch with each other closely and kept a close watch on the development of the situation. They had complicated minds and a little faint fear.

Better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person!

For those who only compete for the world, the troubled times are precisely the stage where they use their methods.

In Fengjun's headquarters, Zhang Zuolin was in a good mood, and finally smiled on his tight face over the past few days.

The situation is favorable to them. Now Fengjun has broken through the Great Wall defense line and captured Chifeng. The fighting has reached a fierce level. Thousands of soldiers are swallowed by artillery fire every day, but both sides have to grit their teeth.

Compared with the situation where Fengjun was defeated in the first direct war against Fengjun, the performance of the comeback Fengjun was extremely tenacious, and its combat effectiveness has indeed been greatly improved, but if there is no turning point, Fengjun may return without success. Wu Peifu is a hard bone.

"Damn it, the people in Guangzhou have made a lot of noise! ​​The 200,000 army! Wu Peifu should have a headache!"

Zhang Zuolin sneered, and then ordered the troops to step up their offensive-victory is not far away!

Some people are happy and some are sad. Zhang Zuolin's excitement coincides with Wu Peifu's depression.

Zhijun, Chinese army camp, Wu Peifu held the telegram from the south in his hand, and said nothing. Yingwu's face was taut, his brows furrowed, and he was about to drip.

He had just inspected the position and returned to the headquarters, emitting a faint smell of gun smoke. He hurried back to the headquarters immediately after receiving the news of the dispatch of troops from Guangzhou.The matter is important, he has to pay attention.

Wu Peifu responded calmly. Although his face was gloomy, he was not flustered at all, and ordered: "Telegram Xiao Yaonan, stick to the line of defense, Wuhan must not be lost!"

Xiao Yaonan was a general under Wu Peifu. He had experienced hundreds of battles. When Wu Peifu went north to fight, he deliberately left Xiao Yaonan to restrain the more than 100,000 direct troops in Hunan and Hubei, which was to guard against the Northern Expedition in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Guangxi.

"In addition, Feng Yuxiang was telegraphed to speed up the northward journey. If the deadline is not overdue, he will be punished by military law!"

Wu Peifu was murderous. Since the start of the war, Feng Yuxiang’s army has been grinding foreign workers and is reluctant to move its nest easily. Wu Peifu is extremely dissatisfied with this. Although Feng Yuxiang belongs to the straight army system, it is self-contained. It is not easy to deal with him. After autumn, settled the accounts.At a very moment, Wu Peifu wanted to turn off Feng Yuxiang's time bomb. In case the other party made trouble, Wu Peifu's back path would be cut off.

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu continued to order: "Order the Presidential Palace to strengthen Beijing's surveillance to prevent the insurgents from getting into trouble. At the same time, this telegram is also sent to the Beijing Security Commander Sun Yue."

Wu Peifu really deserved to be a famous general, and he gave orders in an orderly manner. The adjutant did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent the telegram.

After the adjutant went out, Wu Peifu calmed down and thought: The situation is urgent and he can no longer entrust Fengjun with him. He must defeat them in one fell swoop, so that he can take his hands and deal with the Northern Expedition Revolutionary Army.

In the past few years, Wu Peifu has purchased weapons and supplies from Meihua Company. The development of the armed forces of Guangdong and Guangxi has been effective. How can Wu Peifu not realize it, but the plan is very big, Beiyang is the enemy inside and outside, and he did not fight them one by one. Before getting down, Wu Peifu didn't have the energy to go south, so he could only secretly guard against him.

Guangdong and Guangxi are major enemies. They have sufficient funds and a mature government system. These two are precisely what Wu Peifu lacks. After all, he is just a general, and there are many problems that cannot be solved by war. For example, the boss Cao Kun became his. drag.

Cao Kun publicly bribed elections, regarded the law of the country as nothing, and lost face in front of the people of the world. The Beijing government lost public opinion and the authority of the regime was reduced to the lowest point.

This not only caused the morale of the immediate army to be low, and the generals were dissatisfied, but also made the opponents more upright and confident.

Wu Peifu felt like a race against time, a trace of exhaustion rose in his heart, and the development of the situation was not as expected, so he could only hold on with his teeth.

In the afternoon, Wu Peifu called Zhang Fulai, Peng Shouxin and other Titans to a meeting to organize an army counterattack.

"...The critical moment of survival, we can no longer stay behind, all ministries concentrate their forces and prepare to counterattack decisively!" Wu Peifu resolutely said.

Zhang Fulai, Peng Shouxin and other generals were all of Wu Peifu's direct line, and they followed Wu Peifu from the Third Beiyang Division to kill them all the way, and they were determined to die without Wu Peifu's supervision.

In the next few days, Wu Peifu supervised the battle in front of the formation, and the Zhijun desperately counterattacked. The eruption of energy made Fengjun fearful and did not dare to neglect.

Wu Peifu's order reached Feng Yuxiang at Gubeikou, and Feng Yuxiang sneered, "Wu Peifu can't stand it anymore. He has no time to take care of us now. Let him smash with Fengjun!"

After Feng Yuxiang politely perfunctory a few words in the telegram, he never responded. Astonishing changes have taken place secretly. The army under his command began to turn their guns and prepare to return to Beijing.

The moment when a conspiracy or major event is approaching is difficult, time seems to be slowed down little by little, and a kind of solemn pressure is on your face.

Feng Yuxiang anxiously waited for Beijing's response, but on the surface he was about to pretend to be confident. An officer took a telegram and rushed in happily.

"Marshal, good news, Sun Yue has transferred the army stationed at the daiming to Beijing Nanyuan, and our army has returned to Beijing smoothly!"

Feng Yuxiang immediately got up from his chair and took a look at the telegram. His body trembled slightly with excitement, "It's really God's help!"

"Cao Kun is innocent, Wu Peifu is helping him to abuse him. The country cannot fall into the hands of these people. Now is the time for our army to rise up and save the country. Order Lu Zhonglin to return to Beijing immediately and unite with General Sun Yue to control Beijing."

On October 19, when the frontline army was smashing with the Fengjun, Feng Yuxiang, who had been run by Wu Peifu, turned to Beijing. Hu Jingyi, who had been ordered to monitor Feng Yuxiang's department, and his assistant, Sun Yue, joined forces with Beijing's Sun Yue department to control Beijing easily.

The presidential palace was surrounded and Cao Kun was placed under house arrest, ending his clown-like presidential career.

Sun Yue walked into the presidential palace and met with the old boss Cao Kun. He didn’t see him for a few days. From a beautiful president to a prisoner, it was like falling from the sky to hell. Cao Kun was a few years old. He couldn’t help resent and doubt when he saw Sun Yue. ——"Cao treats you very well. He has promoted you many times in adversity and handed over Beijing City to you. That's how you treat me! Why?"

"The old man is grateful to me, but this is a personal favor, and it cannot offset my dissatisfaction with what you have done. It is righteous and I have a clear conscience.

If Wu Peifu wins another game, don't say he can't tolerate me, even the old handsome you can't tolerate it, right?Great power!"

Sun Yue said frankly.

Wu Peifu is unique in Beiyang, and he has a relationship with many Beiyang elderly people. Sun Yue is one of them. In fact, the direct line is divided into Cao Kun’s Baoding line and Wu Peifu’s Luoyang line. The relationship between Cao and Wu is good, which does not mean that the two factions have a good relationship. Disputes over interests.

Cao Kun stared at the once trusted general, his eyes were open, he did not evade at all, let alone feel guilty.

For a long time, Cao Kun's face was gray, and he sighed with infinite regret: "Oh. He didn't transfer you away because of my face! I'm sorry Ziyu..."

On the 23rd, Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue and others jointly issued a call for peace and launched the "Beijing Coup."

On the 25th, Feng Yuxiang and others held a meeting in Beiyuan, Beijing, and decided to organize the National Army of the Republic of China. Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander-in-chief and commander of the 1st army. Hu and Sun respectively served as the deputy commanders-in-chief and the 2nd and 3rd army. Army commander.

It is said that Feng Yuxiang looked at the little emperor in the Forbidden City very uncomfortable, and planned to give Pu Yi a little bit of color.

The news came from Beijing that the Chinese political arena was hit by a massive earthquake, and even the fiery Northern Expedition in the south has hardly attracted public attention.

The most shocking was Wu Peifu. As early as the day before, Wu Peifu received a telegram from the rear. The 16th brigade commander and nephew of Cao Kun, Cao Shijie, who was stationed in Baoding, sent a telegram. He was surrounded by unknown troops, and the contact with Beijing was interrupted.

Wu Peifu was unconscious, and felt the seriousness of the situation. He desperately tried to contact the rear, but the telegram sent was like a stone sinking.

At four o'clock in the morning the next morning, when Wu Peifu was still in his dream, the telegraph director broke into his tent with a pale face.

"On the contrary, Feng Yuxiang and the others have rebelled." The telegraph director's trembling voice passed through Wu Peifu's head like a bullet. He held the telegram, spinning around for a while, unable to believe it was true.

"The nation builds its army and is willing to fight against insults, kill each other, and both Chinese and foreign countries are ashamed... The more the fight, the stronger the vitality, the ruler has a good spirit, should promote peace, and livelihood with the people... Yuxiang and others hesitate at midnight and want to cry Tears, driven by my conscience, I decided to go back to my teacher, unite the various ministries under another group of the Republic of China, and vowed to serve the country for the people...Sixteen people including Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue, etc.
