In view of the situation that the Feng Clan already has 23 army "divisions" with more than 480,000 people, as well as the navy and air force that are gradually growing in size, Wu Peifu also carried out a large increase in troops at the end of the year in order to reduce the military gap with the Feng Clan. Its four mixed brigades were expanded into four divisions, with their generals Peng Shouxin, Dong Zhengguo, Wang Weicheng, and Wang Huaiqing as division commanders.
In addition, 2 new editors have been added. In this way, the direct strength of the original 8th division and 6 mixed brigades suddenly expanded to 14 divisions and 2 mixed brigades. Except for the 3rd Division, which started with 6 mixed brigades, the other divisions are all standard, and the total strength has reached more than 25 Ten thousand people, not including the armies of Shandong and Jiangsu, which are directly connected to the second governor.
His wishful thinking was that the direct troops would form a group in the north and control the two railways. They would be powerful enemies regardless of whether they were going south or north. Henan and Hebei are both populous provinces, so soldiers are not a problem. Although the Fengjun Army and the People's Army are large in number, they have to be stationed in so many provinces and are scattered in various places, making it difficult to form local superiority in the short term.
The problem is that Wu Peifu¡¯s military salary mainly relies on the operating income of the Beijing-Hankow Railway and Jinpu Railway. When the People's Army took control of Wuhan, part of his income from travel expenses was already controlled by the People's Army, and without British and American foreign aid, he was unable to make ends meet.
If we continue to increase the number of troops and allocate artillery regiments to army divisions, finances will become increasingly tight, and we will inevitably step up efforts to seize land and force taxes on the Jinpu line.
In Shandong, due to the government's tightening of money demands, the destitute people turned to bandits one after another, making the already rampant banditry even more eye-catching. The situation was chaotic, and many bandits also took advantage of the situation to rob and occupy the mountain as king. Among them, Shandong bandit leader Sun Meiyao occupied the Lincheng area of ??Shandong and became the local emperor.
The place where Sun Meiyao died was Baodugang in Yixian County, Shandong Province. His men gathered more than 2,000 bandits. But Sun Meiyao was very courageous and did not use the title of promising bandit. He wanted to call his army the "Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army". Naturally, he was the commander of the autonomous army.
On this day, he received a special guest in his lair.
The visitor did not show a trace of panic towards the bandits who were ready to kill, but looked at the newly emerged bandit leader calmly: "My surname is Yan, a young marshal."
In the past, many people could use the word "Young Marshal" as long as your father was a military governor. But when Zhang Hanqing, the Northeastern young marshal, suddenly emerged, no one else called him that in the officialdom. Even the son of the equally high-profile Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang took the initiative to end his title of young marshal and humbly called himself "Lu Xiaojia."
The situation is stronger than the person.
It¡¯s just that Sun Meiyao doesn¡¯t know the situation yet.
"Which young marshal?" he asked proudly. In Shandong, at Changinggang, he is the king.
"There is only one young commander in the world." Yan Xingguo stabbed him calmly.
A "sensible" gangster said a few words in Sun Meiyao's ear, and his face suddenly became solemn. It seems that even he is in awe of the shadow of a person, the name of a tree, and the name of Zhang Hanqing.
"Young Marshal and I have always had nothing against each other. What are you doing here?" Sun Meiyao's tone became much better. No matter how awesome Hong Hong is, he also knows that he and others are not on the same scale. There seems to be a big gap between a million soldiers and two thousand bandit soldiers.
"A good thing. I wish you good luck in rejuvenating the country."
Yan Xingguo is the former "Fenghuai Bureau" and now the person in charge of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party in Shandong.
Now that the Central Investigation Department's power has spread all over the country, Zhang Hanqing also believes that in troubled times, special agencies modeled after "Military Tong" and "Central Tong" can complete many projects that cannot be launched on the scene, and the annual cost of intelligence is up to 5 million yuan. , which was specially approved by Zhang and his son, and is enough to support a standard army division of Fengjun.
There are provincial departments in the provinces and branches in various places. In the territories of the People's Party and the Feng clan, they are already operating legally; in unconquered places, a large number of people have infiltrated. There are resources if you need them, and there are many capable people.
Therefore, the Central Investigation Department can live up to its high expectations and complete important tasks one after another.
Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in Tianjin, secretly sent someone to arrange an important matter for Yan Xingguo. Through the all-pervasive Central Investigation Department's spy, he contacted Sun Meiyao, a thief active in Lincheng, Shandong.
Although Sun Meiyao was a bandit, he also heard the name of Marshal Zhang Hanqing. However, because Shandong was not under the control of the Feng clan, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and the officials and bandits were not at odds with each other, they were strongly alert to the arrival of Yan Xingguo. He arranged for his men to hold a grand Hongmen Banquet, wielding swords and guns to invite Yan Xingguo to the banquet.
Yan Xingguo has seen many strong winds and waves, so he would not care about this little intimidation. He walked calmly across the knife??, he walked straight to Sun Meiyao's seat and said with a smile: "I have heard about the name of Emperor Lincheng for a long time, but it turns out that meeting him is not as good as being famous - is this how Chief Sun treats guests?"
Sun Meiyao was not upset, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan is a member of the officialdom. Brothers are just licking blood on the edge of a knife to live, so we have to be careful. It can be said that we don't know each other without fighting, so what are you doing? Sun is powerful I can¡¯t help, but Brother Yan has a good background, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t be of much help.¡±
Yan Xingguo said: "Brother is here just to deliver the first oral instruction. The content is very simple. I would like to ask brothers to help us arrest a few people."
Sun Meiyao laughed and said, "What do I think it's about? Isn't it just a few people? I think we all kidnapped the Lincheng County Magistrate's son back then. There's nothing in Lincheng's territory that I can't catch!"
Yan Xingguo rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, the people we arrested this time are different. I'm afraid there will be some difficulties."
Sun Meiyao thought for a while, then suddenly shook her head and said: "It turns out that brother has a problem with the 7th regiment. This is really difficult to deal with! Brother kills people and steals goods, but he never fights with soldiers. Think about it, they have machine guns and cannons, and we stragglers How to compare with them?"
He knew that the 4th Division of the People's Army advancing into Jining and the 5th Army Division of Tian Zhongyu were fighting openly and covertly for control of Shandong, and thought that Yan Xingguo was ordered to use his hand to attack the 7th Regiment garrison in Lunan. Although he claims to be the local emperor of Lincheng, a true modern emperor should also be afraid of "bandits"!
The common people do not want to be involved in the battles between warlords, especially upper-level factions. Besides, his strength is too small, and he is a weakling who won't even take a chance under a blow from any party.
¡°But Fengxi needs an opportunity and a reason to break the status quo, and he is the best candidate.
The 4th Division of the People's Army advanced into Shandong. The original intention was to open up the Jinpu Line to connect the Central China People's Army and the Fengjun outside the Pass, completely trapping the Zhili line inland. However, because the negotiations between China and Japan in Shandong could not be completed satisfactorily, and the Japanese army controlled Jinan and refused to leave, the main force could only be placed in Dangshan to confront the direct troops stationed in Shangqiu.
And Tian Zhongyu also used the tone of "Although Shandong has a small number of soldiers, it is still determined to protect the territory" to make the People's Army march northward. But if Shandong is in chaos, hey, don¡¯t say it was unforeseen!
This was the last resort. To cause chaos in Shandong, public opinion must first be stirred up.
This is also the main intention of Yan Xingguo coming here, but he didn't expect Sun Meiyao to praise himself so highly. If we want to fight Zhijun with real guns and ammunition, do we need this ragtag group of people under the opponent's command?
He said with a smile: "If you want to defeat this mere group, do you need to go through so much trouble?" He looked at Sun Meiyao quietly and took out a banknote from his chest: "Brother guarantees that as long as Leader Sun presses Brother's By doing what you said, not only will your power be unharmed, but the 100,000 yuan ocean will be yours immediately!"
He whispered a few words to Sun Meiyao, which frightened the gangster owl, who was known to kill without batting an eye, and his face turned ashen.
Yan Xingguo smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to be afraid of this matter. Tian Zhongyu is only one person in one division. If we really do it, our 4th Division can make dumplings for him immediately. What's more, after the matter is completed, many things will not be his." He can cover the sky with one hand!"
He raised the stakes slightly: "The aftermath will be arranged by the young marshal himself. When the time comes, as long as Brother Sun 'surrenders' in time according to my instructions, your more than two thousand people can be specially set up as a brigade, and my brother will become a major general brigade commander in the future." !¡±
What this idea is about is that on the surface it makes a lot of noise, but the risk is very small. A young marshal who is famous all over the world takes action, and he has the name of surrender. After all, he is correcting his evil ways and returning to the right path. The temptation to jump from a bandit to a world-famous People's Army officer is quite great. Sun Meiyao was tempted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"
Careful arrangements were made in advance, and it was scheduled to start on April 1, 1923, the 12th year of the Republic of China, which foreigners called April Fool's Day.
The reason why this day is designated is for no other reason - foreigners have played tricks on China for so many years, and they are also playing tricks on you on your holiday!
On that day, Sun Meiyao¡¯s men intercepted a passenger train on the Jinpu Line and took hundreds of passengers as hostages, hoping to take the opportunity to extort huge sums of money. This was the famous ¡°Lincheng Carjacking Case¡± in modern Chinese history.
Since there were many foreigners (journalists and tourists) among the passengers, 39 foreign passengers were later counted, and an Englishman was beaten to death on the spot. This led to Britain, Italy, France, Belgium and the United States to successively make the most severe suggestions to the Chinese government. protest. The United States proposed to send troops to China, and Japanese newspapers instigated various countries to organize a coalition to jointly manage the railway. On the 3rd, the ministers of the five countries were given three days to resolve the hostage problem, otherwise they would pay a certain amount of compensation every 24 hours.
The occurrence of this shocking event at home and abroad was an accident in the previous life, but under Zhang Hanqing's unpredictable hands, it became inevitable.
Under the strong diplomatic pressure from ministers from various countries, the Zhang Shaozeng government of the Republic of China reacted extremely quickly. For fear of causing diplomatic trouble, it hurriedly sent Tian Zhongyu to negotiate to ensure that the hostages, especially foreign friends, returned safely. As for the Chinese hostages, the central government did not say anything, and Tian Zhongyu didn't think much about it.
For several days in a row, Tian Zhongyu spent his time in the midst of telegrams and reprimands from both China and foreign countries. A bandit has made a provincial governor so embarrassed. It would be strange if Tanaka Yu could just use excuses. He believes that the hostages must be rescued, but the bandits must be suppressed. Otherwise, how can it be decent if everyone follows suit?
He sent someone to send a message to the bandit Sun, forcefully demanding that he "hand over the hostages and surrender to the government. He can be treated leniently. Otherwise, the soldiers are everywhere and will blow Baodugang into pieces!"
