In Fang Zida's office, the telegram sent by Zhang Huchen was placed on the table. The cigar in his hand was burning with green smoke, and the tea beside him had cooled down. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at the content of the telegram again and sighed softly.

, Fang Zida knew what was coming finally came.

Li Liejun, the former governor of Jiangxi, had been sneaking back to Jiangxi for some time. Originally, he planned to wait for Lin Hu to join his team before raising troops. Who would have thought that Lin Hu would be suddenly executed by Fang Zida before he could leave Nanjing, and the entire regiment would also be attacked three times.

Five divisions and two divisions were split up and reorganized. Fang Zida did a good job of keeping secrets. After executing Lin Hu, he suppressed the news for a few days in the name of reorganizing the Eighth Division, but after all, such a big thing will eventually be known.

.Although the Eighth Division gave other explanations for Lin Hu's death, this kind of nonsense can only deceive ordinary people. It is absolutely impossible to hide it from Li Liejun and others.

After learning about Lin Hu's accident, Li Liejun was shocked and immediately made his final choice. Just last night, he summoned his old troops, consisting of Li Mingyang's 10th Regiment, Zhou Bijie's 9th Regiment, Zhuo Renji's Machine Gun Brigade and Fang Shengtao's

The newly formed brigade was the main force and captured the Hukou Fortress. A few hours ago, a call was sent to establish the Jiangxi Army to Defeat Yuan and issued a proclamation to attack Yuan, declaring the Jiangxi Revolution.

Fang Zida had expected Li Liejun to raise troops, but he did not expect that Li Liejun, who lacked the support of the Lin Hu Corps, would dare to raise troops so quickly because he had so few troops. It was really a surprise that Li Liejun launched an attack so suddenly, and it is estimated that the governors of other provinces would not be able to sit down.

Well, apart from the fact that Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu, has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Division, and the governor of Jiangsu, Cheng Dequan, is powerless, will Anhui, Shanghai, Hunan, and Guangdong announce massacres one after another? Fang Zida is worried about this.

Zhao Hengti, Wang Xiaozhen and Huang Kaiyuan had just left. They came to discuss this matter with them, but the result of the discussion made Fang Zida disappointed. Not to mention that Huang Kaiyuan was not a good leader in the first place. As a brigade commander, he was just a mess.

Apart from boasting and flattering, he couldn't come up with any ideas at all. Wang Xiaozhen did talk about some opinions, but Fang Zida could understand the forward-thinking meaning in his words. He wanted Wang Xiaozhen to hold on in the Eighth Division.

It's really difficult for him to take charge of the situation. How can the person leading the army be so hesitant? You must know that the incompetence of one general has exhausted the entire army. It is absolutely unreliable to rely on Wang Xiaozhen for help.

As for the division commander Zhao Hengti, Fang Zida could not see through this person more and more. No matter what Fang Zida wanted to do or what he wanted to do, he, Zhao Hengti, fully supported him, and he usually maintained an unusually low-key posture, and it had nothing to do with him.

The way he hung up seemed as if Fang Zida was the real leader in the Eighth Division. At first, Fang Zida was still very happy, and even felt a little grateful to Zhao Hengti. If he hadn't been so cooperative, he wouldn't have taken control of the Eighth Division so quickly.

But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Fang Zida felt that something was wrong. If he said how noble Zhao Hengti's realm was and how noble his character was, Fang Zida would never believe it. Everyone has selfish desires. This is human nature. A noble person like Lei Feng

People only exist in fantasies or political propaganda. Fang Zida has been in the shopping mall for many years and has seen many different kinds of people. He appears to be one thing but does another thing behind the scenes. It is common for him to smile in front of his face and turn around to stab someone with a knife.

Fang Zida had to be on guard.

The situation suddenly changed. Fang Zida was not worried about the Beiyang Army, but the "comrades" behind him. To the south of Nanjing is Shanghai, to the west is Anhui, and to the southwest is Jiangxi. Now that Jiangxi Li Liejun has announced an uprising, the government must take decisive action.

Yuan Shikai, who had long been prepared for force, would never sit idly by. Moreover, Song Jiaoren, who took over as Prime Minister, was also opposed to this "revolution". Judging from Fang Zida, it would not take long for the central government's rebellious orders to be

was issued, and the Eighth Division, which was at the forefront of the storm, also had to withstand pressure from all sides.

"Sir, the latest telegram from Premier Song!"

Zhang Huchen hurriedly came in and presented a telegram he had just received to Fang Zida. After reading the telegram, Fang Zida stood up suddenly, walked slowly around the office, frowned and thought for a while, and decided to call Tao Deyao.

"Deputy Commander Fang and Commander Tao Deyao of the 31st Regiment are here to report!"

"Captain Tao, please sit down." Seeing Tao Deyao come in to report, Fang Zida raised his hand to return the military salute and pointed to the chair for him to sit down.

"Deputy Commander Fang, why are you looking for me...?" Tao Deyao sat upright and asked directly.

Tao Deyao is Zhao Hengti's favorite general, and his regiment is also the main regiment among several regiments second only to the original Linhu regiment in combat effectiveness. Although it has been reorganized, its strength has not weakened. On the contrary, Fang Zida has given certain care because of Zhao Hengti, and its equipment

A little stronger than before.

"Bai Qing, I want your 31st regiment to leave Shanghai overnight. What do you think?" Fang Zida asked.

"Departure from Shanghai?" Tao Deyao was stunned for a moment and then felt overjoyed. Shanghai is a golden place. Far from doing any harm to the 31st regiment, going to Shanghai is actually a good thing. But when he thought about it, why did Fang Zida suddenly send his regiment to Shanghai to garrison? What's inside?

Is there any other reason? Tao Deyao was about to agree, but couldn't help but hesitate when the words came to his lips.

"Haha, take a look at these telegrams first." Fang Zida could see his thoughts at a glance, picked up a few telegrams and handed them to Tao Deyao. After he read them, he said directly: "You understand the situation now. Shanghai is far from Nanjing.

Not far away, Li Liejun started a rebellion in Jiangxi, and Shanghai will definitely take action. In order to stabilize the situation, your 31st regiment rushed to Shanghai to garrison as soon as possible, and you must suppress Chen Qimei and others so that they do not dare to act rashly."

"Does Master know about this?" Tao Deyao's eyes flashed with excitement and he asked anxiously.

"Commander Zhao and the two brigade commanders Huang and Wang just discussed together. Commander Zhao will give full support to the 31st Regiment. Therefore, the situation in Shanghai depends on your regiment, Bai Qing. Can you accomplish this task?"

"No problem! Just wait and see, Deputy Commander Fang. I, Old Tao, promise to complete the task!" After hearing this, Tao Deyao immediately stood up and replied loudly. Fang Zida was very happy to see him like this, and nodded and asked him to go back and convene immediately.

Team, head south immediately.

Xuzhou, located at the junction of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, and Anhui, has always been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages. Since the abdication of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic of China, the weather has been good in recent years. It is rare for Xuzhou people to have such a peaceful and good life. Who would have thought that

Suddenly on this day, the people of Xuzhou City discovered a group of troops with pigtails coming from far outside the city. At first glance, they thought that the destroyed Qing Dynasty was back. It was not until they saw the flags that they knew they were coming.

The troops of Zhang Xun, the former Shandong Wuwei Army.

"Junmen, Xuzhou City is almost here." Wei Debin, commander of the first battalion of the forward department, came running quickly, reined in the reins and reported to Zhang Xun happily.

The Manchu Dynasty had long since disappeared. Zhang Xun was unique. Not only did he forbid his soldiers to cut their braids to show their continued loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, he also asked his subordinates to call themselves "Junmen" or "Junmen" or "Junmen" or "Junmen" or "Junmen" in accordance with the Manchu custom.

"General" is to commemorate the days when he first served as the admiral of Jiangnan.

"Pass my order! The forward troops march directly into Xuzhou City, and I will kill anyone who disobeys on the road!" Zhang Xun, who was sitting on a tall horse, raised his telescope and looked at Xuzhou City, which was vaguely visible in the distance, and gave the order with a flash in his eyes.

"Hey!" Wei Debin responded and clapped his horse away, riding forward and shouting orders.

"Commander, is this too much? The President and the Ministry of War did not allow our troops to enter Xuzhou City directly." Next to Zhang Xun, Tang Yiming, the second battalion commander who accompanied the march and escort, hesitated.

"Haha, the president did not prevent our troops from entering Xuzhou City." Zhang Xun touched his beautiful beard and laughed: "If you have the right, you will be outside, but you will not grant your orders! Today there are rebel parties in the south.

If you start a rebellion, you will lose your chance of fighting. How can I, Lao Zhang, miss the chance of fighting after being in the battle line for a long time? Hehe, I, Lao Zhang, not only want to enter Xuzhou City, but also Nanjing City! Humph! Just a few counter-rebellion parties in the district.

, let’s see how they can stop my army?”

Tang Yiming suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he heard that Zhang Xun's troops were ordered to go south by the Ministry of War. However, the order did not allow Zhang Xun to enter Jiangsu from Shandong. Instead, Zhang Xun's troops were asked to bypass Xuzhou and go directly to Anhui to suppress the Anhui governor Bai Wenwei first.

In order to prevent Bai Wenwei from following Li Liejun's rebellion and prevent Anhui from following in the footsteps of Jiangxi, after suppressing Bai Wenwei, Zhang Xun's troops would cooperate with Duan Zhigui's First Army to attack Jiujiang and force Li Liejun's troops to attack.

But who would have thought that after receiving the order, Zhang Xun marched overnight. After entering Jiangsu, instead of taking a detour and heading straight to Anhui, he would march into Xuzhou City and also planned to lead his army to Nanjing. Tang Yiming knew in his heart that Zhang Xun

You are not convinced! After the uprising of the Revolutionary Party, Zhang Xun, who served as the Admiral of Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty, was stationed in Nanjing and sent troops to fight the Revolutionary Party. Who would have thought that he was beaten to a pulp by the Revolutionary Party and fled in embarrassment, thereby losing the entire Jiangsu Province?

Territory. Now, Li Liejun raised his troops and announced the independence of Jiangxi, which made Zhang Xun, who had always been brooding about this matter, as excited as chicken blood. As soon as the order from the Ministry of War arrived, Zhang Xun hurriedly summoned the three battalions of men and horses.

He rushed southward, determined to avenge his defeat.

Not only that, he ignored the orders of his superiors and insisted on marching into Jiangsu. Zhang Xun also wanted to take this opportunity to regain power in Jiangsu. In his eyes, no position could compare to the position of the governor of Jiangsu. When the time comes, he will gallop to Nanjing.

To be powerful and powerful is the dream he has always longed for.

Tang Yiming, who was well aware of Zhang Xun's thoughts, thought about it again and again, and finally persuaded: "Commander, we can only enter Xuzhou City, but we might as well not go to Nanjing. There was a call from the Army Ministry in Beijing, and now the Eighth Division of the Nanjing Army has been captured.

The central government is aware that Nanjing is now home to friendly forces. If we send troops to Nanjing, I am afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Zhang Xun snorted and raised his eyebrows: "Whose army is the eighth division? Don't I, Zhang, know? What kind of friendly forces? It's all bullshit! It's obviously a trick played by the revolutionary rebellious party! Li Liejun

To start a rebellion in Jiangxi, if we don't take Nanjing into our hands now, won't our army become a turtle in the urn if there is a change in Jiangsu? Then there will be rebels in front of us and no way to retreat. What do you think we should do?"

"But... Prime Minister Song..." Tang Yiming hesitated and wanted to persuade him again. Zhang Xun waved his hand and said: "Bah! I, Lao Zhang, only knew about the Qing Dynasty before, but now I only know President Yuan. What kind of Premier Song?"

Can a white-faced scholar who relies on lip service still control me, Old Zhang? Come here! Let the vanguard troops speed up their journey. In an hour, I, Old Zhang, will be drinking horses in Xuzhou City!"
