Over there, the three parties said that Cao Kun was bribing the election of the president. Here, Wu Peifu asked Cao Kunming to issue a presidential decree and appoint himself as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army to attack the coalition forces of Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui, and Sun Yixian.
Wu Peifu has been in Beijing for a long time. As soon as the scandal of bribery for the presidential election came out, all members of the immediate family betrayed and separated from their relatives. He was furious about this and hurried back to Beijing from Luoyang and went into battle in uniform.
This is what he is praised for, and it is also his biggest political mistake: "foolish loyalty." It turned out that Jin and Luo had been at odds for a long time, and Wu also had the ability to lead an army on his own. However, he felt Cao Kun's trust and promotion, and always maintained Cao Kun's position and never wanted to replace him.
"The Gaibei people's loyalty to their superiors is not based on public understanding, but is entirely based on private emotions. In addition to obedience, there is also the concept of repaying gratitude." The words of the National Daily last year are still ringing in my ears, should they be blamed on him?
Wu Peifu is by no means an idle person in the military. Although his direct army only has 14 divisions and 2 mixed brigades, most of them have experienced hundreds of battles and are well trained. Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to any of the People's Army and Fengjun troops. .
When facing the Fengjun Army in the north and the People's Army in the south, he formed a two-sided strategic situation. On the one hand, he gathered the main force in the north in an attempt to make a quick victory. After defeating the Fengjun Army outside the pass, he relied on railway transportation to return to the south of the Yellow River. To meet the People's Army.
His military deployment is undoubtedly correct.
Although the combat effectiveness of Wu Peifu's army is comparable to that of Feng's army, it is even better than that of Feng's army. It also has the psychological advantage of veterans over new recruits against the People's Army, but there are many soldiers who cannot stand up to their opponents.
The advantage of the entire Fengtian faction is that it has more troops, more food, and abundant logistics. This is also the disadvantage of the Zhili army. If the two sides engage in a tug-of-war on the north and south fronts, the Zhili Clan will definitely suffer losses - north of the Yellow River is a plain, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the People's Army fully blossoms, it will be unable to defend it.
Therefore, in order to create a containment behind the People's Army so that it could not attack with all its strength, he secretly contacted the warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and induced Ningxia Governor Ma Tingxiang to raise troops, trying to control the northwest, southwest, and southeast areas under the control of the People's Army. The direction was to launch a full-scale war, delay the pace of the People's Army going north, and create favorable time for the Zhili Army to finally defeat the Feng Army in the north.
It¡¯s just easy to plan but difficult to actually implement. Not to mention whether it is as easy as talking on paper to move so many troops back and forth, it is to concentrate the main force and defeat Fengjun in one battle. Although this opportunity exists, Fengjun, who has been enriched for many years, is no longer Wu Xia Ameng. Tianjin, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and other places outside the pass are the places where Zhang Hanqing focuses on construction. They are important industrial towns tied to the pass. Naturally, they are heavily guarded. It is a battle of life and death.
In addition, whether the warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other roads can be his arms at this critical moment to encircle Wei and save Zhao is still a question mark.
Yunnan and Guizhou are far away in a corner. They are surrounded by the powerful powers of Guangxi and Sichuan. They are weak and have no personal feelings about who will win and who will lose in the Zhifeng War. Therefore, they ignored Wu Peifu's lobbying. They made up their mind that whoever wins will be the orthodox center, and of course they must obey in name.
Since Lu Rongting¡¯s defeat, the Guangxi Clique has been locked in internal disputes. Gradually, the new Guangxi Clique headed by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi emerged. Li Zongren has the strategy of a politician, and Bai Chongxi has the military acumen and is known as "Little Zhuge". They will not rush forward rashly.
They have made up their mind to pacify the interior of Guangxi first, and then wait for opportunities to act based on the situation. Therefore, they only accept Wu Peifu's idea that as long as the Guangxi army launches an offensive behind the People's Army in South China, all the southeastern regions will be in the pie after the war. With moral support - because no matter what, Cao Kun is already the legal president - as for sending troops, military pay and equipment are insufficient, please ask the central government to provide supplies.
After Ma Tingxiang had no choice but to surrender to Zhang Hanqing, he always thought about "returning people and governing Hui". Although the people's military government under Zhang Hanqing's control granted a high degree of autonomy, it still could not satisfy his desires. It's just that the People's Army is powerful, so this idea has been hidden. What Wu Peifu said was exactly what he wanted.
It¡¯s just that the Northwest People¡¯s Army has a strong strength of 4 divisions. He can only hope that the Sichuan Army will take the lead in taking action, and he will also wait for the opportunity to stab him in the back.
However, because the armies of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou all had their own plans and were wary of the powerful People's Army, the final rebellion only remained in the imagination. Of course, Ma Tingxing's lone army did not dare to make any mistakes, so he had to wait and see which way the wind would turn.
In order to prevent the people's army from Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, Shandong and other places from attacking from behind, Wu Peifu pulled all the troops stationed in Henan to the north of the Yellow River. He only arranged Zhang Fulai's 24th Division and a new division in Zhengzhou and Luoyang south of the Yellow River. Division, Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division and a new division were stationed along the railway respectively. Zhang and Xiao were the commanders of the two places respectively.
His intention was to concentrate superior forces in the north, fight quickly in the pass, and defeat the Feng army. The Yellow River is naturally dangerous and difficult to crossHowever, as long as there is a buffer time of a few days, it is not a problem to deal with the direct troops in the pass. When the time comes, with the power of victory and the reputation of central authority, we will not be afraid that the situation will not change in favor of the Zhili clique.
Originally, Zhang Fulai was not qualified enough to command the Henan Army, so he wanted to use Zhang Fulai to gain favor. However, the famous "World Evening News" in Beijing changed Zhang Fulai into Zhang "Hao" in its report, which made Wu Peifu wanted by the world for his president Cheng Shewo. He became suspicious and always felt that there was no peace in Beijing. .
The only remaining territory of the Anhui clique is in Zhejiang. Because all parties have expressed their opinions, Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang also attacked Qi Xieyuan, the direct clique's Jiangsu governor, in the name of anti-bribery, thus advancing the Jiangsu-Zhejiang war by more than a year. In order to cheer up the Anhui clique, Zhang Zuolin sent a message to Cao Kun: "I will use the plane to ask about my daily life, and I will be in contact with you to get the final answer!"
The South China People's Army also supported the war in the north from the side. Yu Xuezhong formed the Northern Expedition Army with two divisions to attack the pro-Zhili clique Fujian governor Sun Chuanfang. The People's Army started from Chaozhou and pushed straight towards Zhangzhou and Xiamen. Then it would steadily control Fuzhou, the political and cultural center of Fujian, from Quanzhou and Kamata.
Because Fujian is mountainous, Yu Xuezhong was informed by Zhang Hanqing that he did not focus on a sudden attack, but on creating momentum. At the same time, the Central China People's Army garrison in Jiangxi had been ordered to assemble in Fuzhou to prepare for a north-south pincer attack on Fujian. The People's Army will try its best to create a fait accompli and lay the foundation for gaining a share of the post-war pie.
At first, Sun Chuanfang was frightened by Zhang Hanqing's military power and fled to Fujian to avoid disaster. He was taken in by Li Houji, who abandoned Anhui and returned to China. However, he was soon occupied by Jiu, and Sun Chuanfang, who was known as "returning home", teamed up with Wang Yongquan, commander of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Anhui Clique, to drive him away in one fell swoop. Later, Li Houji arrived in Shanghai. Although he was given the false title of Quanwei General by his direct line, his strength was lost and was no longer effective.
Last year, at the Baoding Conference, the Zhili Clan generals proposed to restore the legal system and unify the country first. It was Sun Chuanfang who sent a telegram to support the Zhili Clan. He suggested that "to consolidate the Republic of China, we should first unify the legal system, convene the old parliament, and ask Li Yuanhong to restore the country." Then he called the Guangdong Protector of Military and Political Affairs | The government wants Sun Yixian and Xu Shichang to step down at the same time.
Later, Sun Yat-sen was widely questioned at home and abroad for "not letting go" because he was the one who started it.
Xu Shuzheng, a general of the Anhui clique, has been canceled after fleeing trouble abroad for many years. Since he had no place to go, he came to Fuzhou to arrange for Wang Yongquan and others to use the remaining strength of the Anhui clique to unite with the Feng clique and Sun Yixian to jointly fight against the straight line. However, Sun Chuanfang teamed up with Zhou Mengren, commander of the 12th Division, to launch a surprise attack and oust Wang Yongquan, the newly promoted Fujian Military Affairs Assistant who held real power.
At this point, except for Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, the Anhui clique no longer has any hardcore members.
At that time, Zhang Hanqing had just bombarded Sun Dapao, and the Anhui clique was still lamenting the early "tripartite anti-direction". Because of Sun Chuanfang's actions, the Anhui clique did not have much energy to discuss the rights and wrongs of the two sides.
When the Feng and Anhui cliques officially targeted Sun Chuanfang as their opponent, the pressure on Sun Chuanfang doubled. Regardless of the final outcome of the war in the north, with the strength of the South China and Central China headquarters, he is no match for him.
On the one hand, he secretly sent people to contact the People's Army, expressing his unwillingness to become an enemy of the People's Army, and expressed his willingness to slowly give up the southern Fujian, and transfer the main force to the north to develop in Zhejiang, which has better economic conditions and empty defenses. Once he controls Zhejiang, he will completely withdraw from Fujian.
Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Hanqing had the same idea: of course they would get the advantage first. Since they could win Fujian without a fight, why let the army go to war? Moreover, Sun Chuanfang was at war with Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui clique, which was actually what the Feng clique wanted.
On the surface, Feng and Anhui are now allies, but Zhang Hanqing has already made a decision on the arrangement of the post-war political situation. The best arrangement is to support Duan Qirui to regain his position, but to destroy the arms he relies on to rise again and weaken or defeat Lu Yongxiang. He is happy to see this happen.
Cao Kun hoped that Sun Chuanfang could attack Guangdong, but Sun Chuanfang insisted on developing towards Zhejiang in the name of "Zhejiang is weak and it is easy to connect to Jinpu County and rush north for reinforcements".
Thousands of miles away, does Sun Chuanfang really need help? Wu Peifu expressed his anger at his petty thoughts. He said that Qi Xieyuan was far stronger than Sun Chuanfang and could form an overwhelming advantage over Lu Yongxiang when blocking the Central China People's Army. What Sun Chuanfang has to do now is to block the People's Army from encroaching on Fujian and wait for an opportunity to attack Guangdong.
Sun Chuanfang also has a way. Under pressure, he called Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. On the one hand, he talked about the strategy of attacking Guangdong, and on the other hand, he asked for 3 million yuan in military pay and 5 million rounds of ammunition. It's already this time, even if Cao and Wu could take it out, they couldn't transport it to his territory? Now, without military pay and ammunition, the plan to attack Guangdong can only be abandoned.
Fortunately, he agreed to fight with Lu Yongxiang, the general of the Anhui clique and the governor of Zhejiang, which indirectly supported the Zhili clique in the north. Therefore, Cao Kun gave up after confirming that he could not command Sun Chuanfang.
It seems that you can¡¯t rely on others to fight a war. At critical moments, you need to rely on yourself. On the 12th, Wu Peifu ordered generals in Sizhaotang. All the leading figures in the direct line gathered here, including Cao Kun and other big shots, were present.
At the meeting, Wu Peifu asked everyone to take the interests of all members of the direct line as the starting point, abandon factional grievances, and fight this battle with all their strength. He cheered and said that as long as the Feng clan was defeated or sent back outside the customs, the entire territory within the customs would be directly related, so why bother to stick to the current disputes about one province, one city, and one place? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Just give up.
