"It's too much to bully others! It's really too much to bully others!"

In Yanzhou, Shandong Province, the guard Tian Zhongyu, who claimed to have an eye disease, was so angry that his hands trembled and he wandered around in the room. The Eighth Division marched northward in a mighty manner, and he got the news immediately. Fang Zida was so tough, and Tian Zhongyu was

I was frightened and frightened, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Speaking of Tian Zhongyu, he can also be regarded as an old man from the Beiyang family. During the former Qing Dynasty, he entered the Beiyang Zhili Armed Forces Academy to study artillery. After graduation, he served as the first commander of the artillery team of Beiyang No. 1 Town. Later, he went to Northeast China with Xu Shichang.

, served as the general counselor of the Supervisory Training Office and the supervisor of the martial arts halls of the three eastern provinces. After the founding of the Republic of China, Tian Zhongyu was transferred to Shandong as the acting chief of civil affairs and concurrently the governor of Yanzhou. In terms of qualifications, he was not inferior to Cao Kun and others of the Third Division.

.

It's just that Tian Zhongyu does not belong to Yuan Shikai's direct lineage, but is a member of Lao Yuan's brother Xu Shichang, who has always been outside the core of Beiyang. Because of this, when the Beiyang Division was founded, the position of commander of the Fifth Division fell to him.

, just got the position of the Yanzhou garrison. Although there are thousands of troops under his command, these teams are just ordinary patrol battalions, with extremely average combat effectiveness.

"It's all your bad idea, you bastard! Fortunately, now, the Eighth Division has come over instead of delaying the matter. What should I do? What should I do!" Tanaka Yu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, became more and more angry as he thought about it.

, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, and couldn't help but turn around and yell at Zhang Peirong.

Zhang Peirong was the sentry officer in the patrol camp and Tian Zhongyu's confidant. When the orders from the Ministry of National Defense and Fang Zida arrived in Shandong, Tian Zhongyu originally planned to cooperate, but Zhang Peirong's words made him change his mind.

Zhang Peirong further said that although Tian Zhongyu is the Acting Chief of Civil Affairs of Shandong and the garrison of Yanzhou, his strength is far inferior to Zhang Xun. Once he takes the initiative to reorganize the patrol battalion, if the reorganization fails and angers Zhang Xun, the consequences will be disastrous. After all, the Central Committee

The army is far away, and Zhang Xun's armed guards are right in front of us. Zhang Xun has always been unruly and unruly. Even President Yuan Da has to give up his face. It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Xun to be at the mercy of the Ministry of National Defense for such a big matter.

Tian Zhongyu's active cooperation is tantamount to offending Zhang Xun. If this handsome guy gets angry and attacks the patrol camp, how can Tian Zhongyu resist?

From this point of view, it is better to delay this matter. On the one hand, it is to see what the situation is, and on the other hand, it is also to see how Zhang Xun will respond. If the central government cannot do anything about Zhang Xun, it will hand over the military power so easily.

, isn’t this a big loss? If the central government takes a tough stance, then it will be Zhang Xun who takes the lead first. If the worst happens, it won’t be too late to make plans later.

But no one expected that Fang Zida would move so quickly and be so determined. That day, Tian Zhongyu waited for Zhang Xun's response before sending the telegram. Who would have thought that only one day after the telegram was sent, the Eighth Division

He just came over and killed him without saying a word. Tanaka Yu, who was already a little smug, was stunned as if he had been slapped on the head.

Zhang Peirong, who had his head lowered, was sweating profusely and felt aggrieved. It was true that he came up with this idea, but it was you, Marshal Tian, ​​who took the decision! And he even praised himself for the idea at the time.

Well, now why do you put all the blame on yourself in the blink of an eye? Hey! It’s all my fault for such a bitchy mouth, okay, what kind of cleverness are you trying to do?

"Commander, now is not the time to get angry." On the side, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar advised, this person is Tian Zhongyu's master Zhou Lin.

Seeing Tian Zhongyu stop and look at him, Zhou Lin held the folding fan upside down and pointed to the edge: "What matters now is the attitude of the Eighth Division, that is, Fang Zida. To be honest, I originally had no idea about the adaptation of the National Defense Forces.

I didn't take it to heart. You have to know that many things have been changed over the years. Who knew it would cause such a big trouble. It seems that the central government is serious this time, especially Fang Zida, who is cruel and ruthless in doing things.

He is decisive and not someone who is easily fooled."

"Then what do we do?" Tian Zhongyu asked anxiously.

"Three-pronged approach!" Zhou Lin seemed to have thought of a good countermeasure and said without hesitation: "First; ask the commander to immediately send a call to express his support for the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, and ask Mr. Ju from Qingdao to come forward to deal with it. Second;

Send someone to contact Fang Zida immediately, saying that the previous telegram was not the commander's original intention, but was forced by Zhang Xun to do it. Thirdly, please ask the commander to resign from the post of guard envoy to the central government."

Tian Zhongyu was stunned, then sat down slowly, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The first one is feasible. It would be great if Ju Lao could come forward to deal with it. No matter how tough Fang Zida is, he will always give away some face of Ju Lao, right? As for the third

The second one is fine, but the third one..."

Seeing that Tian Zhongyu was still reluctant to give up the position of guard envoy at this time, Zhou Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Commander! Since the National Defense Force is going to be reorganized, will the position of guard envoy still be retained? Rather than ordering the withdrawal by the central government at that time, it is better to take the initiative

Resigning can still save some face. Moreover, the commander-in-chief did this to the central government and Fang Zida to show his attitude. Otherwise, how could he believe the commander-in-chief's sincerity?"

"This..." Tian Zhongyu was extremely entangled in his heart. Although the guard envoy was just a showman, Tian Zhongyu was really reluctant to part with it, but the situation in front of him was such that Zhou Lin's words were true. After thinking about it, he finally just

Neng sighed and nodded.

The matter was so important that Tian Zhongyu took action immediately after making the decision. Xu Shichang was his old superior and President Yuan's brother-in-law. Tian Zhongyu sent a message to Xu Shichang in Qingdao for help, but Xu Shichang could not stand idly by. Xu Shichang received Tan Zhong's call.

After reading Yu's telegram, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Although he was not a party to the Shandong incident, how could he not know the details because of his connections and sophisticated political vision? Can't he see the mystery? In Xu Shichang's view, the reorganization of the National Defense Forces is

He absolutely supports this good move in building up the national army. He, Xu Shichang, also agrees with the reorganization of the patrol battalion. I thought that Tanaka Yu would take the overall interests of the country into consideration and accept the order calmly, but who would have thought that this kid actually lost his mind?

He wanted to be cunning and deceive, and he was so greedy for power. These actions really disappointed him.

In fact, even if Tian Zhongyu did not send this telegram, Xu Shichang planned to invite Tian Zhongyu to Qingdao for a discussion in the next few days, so that he could change his attitude and cooperate with the Central Defense Forces' adaptation. Unexpectedly, Fang Zida's actions were so fast.

The situation will change like this. It seems that Fang Zida had made all preparations long before the reorganization.

Now that Tian Zhongyu has taken the initiative to surrender, Xu Shichang, as an old superior, still hates Tian Zhongyu for failing to live up to his expectations. He immediately wrote two telegrams and sent them to Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren respectively, asking them to say hello to Fang Zida.

Although Tian Zhongyu is not very talented, he can still fight for his contribution to the country. If he knows his mistakes and can correct them, it is good. There is no need to be too harsh. It is best if the patrol camp can be peacefully reorganized. Please discuss it carefully and never do it.

Fight vigorously to avoid the loss of life.

When Xu Shichang's telegram was sent to Beijing, Tan Zhongyu's resignation message also reached the Ministry of National Defense. At the same time, his senior master Zhou Lin was entrusted by Tian Zhongyu and rushed south with his handwritten letter.

The Eighth Division's army advanced rapidly. As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Wu Peifu, who had been prepared for a long time, arrived in Xuzhou in just three days, and the front was approaching Shandong. After arriving in Xuzhou, Wu Peifu's army did not stop at all.

It took half a day to enter Shandong and arrived at Zaozhuang on the fourth day.

On the day Wu Peifu arrived at Zaozhuang, Zhou Lin finally arrived. As soon as he entered Zaozhuang, he ran into the strong and powerful Eighth Division. Looking at the neat and mighty military appearance and the armaments armed to the teeth, he was frightened.

His face turned pale. Such a powerful army could not be competed by Tian Zhongyu's patrol battalion. He was secretly glad that Tian Zhongyu listened to his suggestion, otherwise the patrol camp would be wiped out as soon as the army arrived. This way

I'm afraid even Zhang Xun's braided army won't be able to gain favor.

Although he could not see Fang Zida, not even Wu Peifu, Tian Zhongyu's handwritten letter was still brought to Zhou Lin of the Eighth Division. He was uneasy and was taken to the 29th Regiment for temporary resettlement, waiting for the final arrangements on the matter.

"What? Tanaka Yu is really convinced?"

"That's right, this is a handwritten letter brought by his master. Brother Zhang Ming, please read it." As soon as Fang Zida entered the house, Wu Peifu told him about it. He took the letter and looked at it carefully. Fang Zida was surprised.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"This Tian Zhongyu really understands practical matters. It's good that he can do this and save us a lot of effort." Fang Zida said. Not long after the news from Beijing came, there was a message interceding for Tian Zhongyu.

There were several copies, but Fang Zida didn't take them to heart. When the situation was unclear, these things couldn't be taken seriously. However, today's personal letter from Tian Zhongyu made him completely relieved. Since Tian Zhongyu has completely surrendered, he will be let go when the time comes.

One code is also acceptable.

"Brother Zhangming, I think the overall situation regarding Tian Zhongyu has been decided. The original march plan may have to be slightly changed. What do you think of the arrangement?" Wu Peifu did not expect it to go so smoothly. From a military perspective, he asked cautiously.

Fang Zida waved his hand and said grandly: "Ziyu is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and the chief of staff. This time when I enter Shandong, I am just following the army. All military arrangements are made by brother Ziyu!"

"Okay!" Wu Peifu, who had received full authorization, did not show any pretense. He immediately issued an order for the 29th Regiment to set off immediately and take Tian Zhongyu's master Zhou Lin to rush to Yanzhou. The patrol battalion must be fully taken over within two days.
