"The Chinese people are a bunch of cowards. As soon as something happens, they know how to run away. Such incompetent citizens are not worthy of owning such a vast land!"
Ishihara smiled and said disdainfully. Through the window of the teahouse, he could clearly see the situation below. The streets were full of noisy crowds. There were various leaflets on the ground. The military and police shouted back and forth desperately, but the effect was
It's also very limited.
The government also dispatched a large number of manpower to explain, but the speed of explanation could not match the speed of rumors. More and more people were rioting, and even a large number of old officials were uneasy. If the rebels came over,
I'm afraid no one knows what will happen, so it's best to run away as soon as possible.
As soon as these officials fled, it caused even more chaos, and the people ran away even more. Among the various departments in the capital, those old people who had stayed in Beiyang either ran away or were unable to come out because they were sick, and almost all government agencies were paralyzed.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, Yin Rugeng also smiled and nodded: "Ishihara-kun is right, only the Empire of Japan is a country worthy of admiration in this world. Zhang Tinglan, a young boy, will not end well sooner or later.
, now is his retribution!”
Yin Rugeng gritted his teeth and seemed to hate Zhang Tinglan even more than Ishihara Wanji. Yin Rugeng was a relatively well-known traitor during the Anti-Japanese War. When the Japanese came, the most distressing thing for the Chinese people was that traitors were everywhere. In fact, these traitors did not appear out of thin air.
It is the result of Japan's painstaking efforts.
Take Yin Rugeng, for example. He studied in Japan in his early years. After returning to China, he was known as a Japan expert because he was familiar with the situation in Japan. In this way, he successfully became Sun Wen's staff, and then entered the Beiyang government. He was mainly engaged in dealing with the Japanese.
activities.
In fact, it can be seen from Yin Rugeng's experience that the Japanese's development of traitors is the result of a long-term operation. They start from overseas students, buy them, and then send them to government agencies. As these people get promoted step by step, the pro-Japanese forces are increasing.
Once the Japanese come over, these people will undoubtedly become traitors, such as Xiqia, Zhou Fuhai and others.
However, when Yin Rugeng was speculating on the camp, Feng Jun defeated the Japanese and led his troops into the customs. The pro-Japanese faction was suddenly relegated to the sidelines, and Japanese experts such as Yin Rugeng were also left out in the cold.
.
After losing his iron rice bowl, Yin Rugeng reminisced about the good life in Japan and admired Japan even more. He hated Fengjun. Soon after, he became a secretly developed member of the Japanese spy agency.
"Ishihara-kun, will the empire send troops this time to kill Zhang Tinglan at once?"
Ishihara Wanji's brows suddenly wrinkled: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You can continue to arrange the distribution of leaflets now. Confuse people and create chaos in Beijing. As for other things, I don't need you to know."
"Yes. I will go and do it now."
Yin Rugeng left the teahouse like a dog. Ishihara Wan'er also turned around and left. He still had a lot of things to arrange. Such a big change this time actually had a lot to do with the Japanese meddling behind the scenes.
The big relationship is, of course, not just Japan, the UK has also used all its power.
These two empires have been operating in China for a long time and have tentacles all over the country. They also know that Wu Peifu is a key figure, so they tried to bribe Wu Peifu, but failed. They could only start with Wu Peifu's men and let Wang Chengbin, Peng Shouxin and others come forward.
.
In addition, their ability to successfully break through the Jin army's defense line was also a military secret leaked by the Japanese. A staff officer under Yan Xishan who was responsible for formulating the defense plan graduated from the Japanese sergeant school. He handed over all the Jin army's defense maps to the rebels.
The Jin army's defense line was suddenly broken through.
The Japanese were very proud of successfully instigating this rebellion. Even if they could not completely overthrow Zhang Tinglan this time, it was enough to shake Zhang Tinglan's foundation. As long as the army killed, burned, and looted in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, causing serious damage, they would surely contain Feng Tinglan.
The army put a lot of energy into it, and even delayed the pace of integrating the south, which can be regarded as venting the anger for the sinking Izumo.
Therefore, the Japanese spared no effort to mobilize all available forces to create chaos. In addition, they mobilized the troops in the embassy area and prepared for battle. If the rebels really reached Beijing, they would take immediate action.
With the intervention of the great powers, the capital was in chaos. Tang Shaoyi, the prime minister of the cabinet, could not sit still and hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan.
"Sorry, I just came from the street. Everything is in chaos. Why don't you take action to deal with it? Are you just watching the chaos in the capital and waiting for the rebels to come over?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Shaochuan, please sit down first and let's talk slowly."
"You said it slowly, it's so urgent. I really can't imagine how you can still be so relaxed."
"Mr. Shaochuan, when the matter has reached this point, it seems that I was not thinking carefully. I did not expect that the Jin army would collapse at the first touch. Otherwise, if I had left more troops in the capital, this situation would not have happened."
"I would like to say that this is not the time to blame yourself. A wise man will make mistakes after every thought. You'd better find a way to deal with the trouble in front of you as soon as possible."
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Don't worry. As the saying goes, one person is short of wisdom. Now it is no longer the pattern of serving the army. It is more necessary to establish a formalized staff system. Rely on a strong team to formulate a complete military plan. Rely on one or two
Individuals cannot do it, so I am ready to completely reform the military system. In addition, the government must also reform. We must establish some think tanks and recruit a large number of experts to ensure scientific and reasonable decision-making."
Tang Shaoyi was sweating anxiously. She was still willing to listen to these words and said hurriedly: "Idiot, what you said is correct, but it's still the same sentence. You have to get through this hurdle before you can think about implementing other things."
Otherwise, the rebels will be in front of us. Whether we leave or stay, there should be a regulation. Besides, the chaos in the capital is like this. If we don’t control it, as soon as the rebels come, we will have no choice but to capture them!"
Zhang Tinglan suddenly laughed and said: "Mr. Shaochuan, I was indeed caught off guard at the beginning, but as the saying goes, adversity reveals a person's heart. Beijing is at the feet of the emperor, but it has been run by foreign powers for many years. Some ordinary people can't see it.
But now, everyone has jumped out, and we just take this opportunity to clean up the capital, so that you and I can feel at ease."
"If you want to clean up the capital, you don't have to take such a big risk..." While Tang Shaoyi was still mumbling to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Zhu Yan, do you have a trump card?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face and she nodded slightly...
"Brothers, hurry up and rush forward. We can capture Baoding and enter Beijing. We will gain glory and wealth at your fingertips!"
Under various instigations, like a tide, the rebels launched a desperate attack on Baoding. There were huge crowds of people and dense charging teams everywhere. They shouted and charged, with bayonets like a forest and bullets like rain.
The rumbling sound of artillery was earth-shattering. Among all the warlords, Wu Peifu's troops were well-trained and well-equipped, second only to the Feng army. In particular, they were equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, which had powerful lethality.
As a result, the fortifications built by Fengjun were constantly destroyed.
Rong Zhen, who was in charge of commanding the battle, was very uneasy at this time. He only had one brigade of troops, while the opponent had at least 30,000 people, and the number was still increasing. The offensive was very fierce, and Feng Jun wanted to stop them.
, it’s really a bit difficult.
But no matter how difficult it is, it must be defended. Otherwise, if Baoding falls, the rebels can go directly north and threaten Beijing. This is something Rong Zhen will never tolerate.
"fire!"
Fengjun's artillery immediately aimed at a rebel position and fired fiercely. In a violent explosion, two 150-meter heavy artillery pieces were blown to pieces, and dozens of artillerymen were killed. Fengjun's pressure was slightly
Lighten it up a bit.
But at this time, another rebel army launched an attack on Xicheng. This time they sent their only aircraft up. Fortunately, their aircraft were old models and the power of the bombs was limited, and the ones they dropped were even less powerful.
Accurate, causing limited casualties.
But it greatly boosted the morale of the rebels. They charged into the city desperately, and the cannons set off waves of metal storms. Baoding was shaken by the explosions.
"Report, the outer defense line of Nancheng has been lost, requesting assistance."
"Report, the West City is in a tight situation, please ask for reinforcements."
"Report, rebel planes bombed the city, causing serious casualties."
…
Bad news came one after another, Rong Zhen frowned: "Tell them, there are no reinforcements, the city must be defended, otherwise we will come to see you!"
Just as Rong Zhen was giving orders angrily, someone suddenly ran in again: "Sir, something bad happened. The gentry in Baoding rebelled. They set fire to the city to welcome the rebels."
Hearing this, Rong Zhen spun around and almost fell to the ground. He also forgot that Baoding is the headquarters of the Zhili Clan. Cao Kun and Wu Peifu have been operating here for many years. The forces are so intertwined that even a strong dragon can hardly defeat a local snake. What's more, Fengjun is still
What about the weak!
"Come on, follow me and kill these bastards!"
Rong Zhen didn't have many men left, so he had to rush out with the guards himself. The streets of Baoding were already in chaos, with fire everywhere, and the armed forces raised by the powerful were all mobilized to cause chaos everywhere.
Rong Zhen was also rude and issued a kill order. As long as he was still running around in the city, he would be shot on the spot. With decisive measures, he finally restored some of the decline.
But just as he was about to take a breath, suddenly a soldier covered in blood stumbled over: "Sir, the rebels blew up the East City!"
When Rong Zhen heard this, his whole body went cold. Zhang Tinglan asked him to hold on in Baoding for half a day, but now it seems that he can't do it. The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer, and the rebels have poured into the city through the gap.
"Brothers, all rush forward with me. Even if you lose your head, you can't lose Baoding!"
Just as they were preparing to fight to the death, the rebels outside the city suddenly became chaotic. The shells fell crazily on the rebels' ranks, and people were wiped out in pieces.
It was Fu Zuoyi's troops from the Jin army who came. With their joining, the momentum of the rebels was suddenly knocked down. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
