Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "If the British really want to fight, they should send the army over. Don't they think we are Manchus, and we will surrender if we fire a few shots? In the end, it's just a show for the country. These two warships The role. Mostly want to protect Hong Kong, rather than a real massacre."

Rong Zhen also suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "When you say that, I immediately figured it out, but if the UK is really here to protect Hong Kong, should we take Hong Kong too?"

"No comparison." Zhang Tinglan said decisively: "Hong Kong is just a disease of scabies. Taking it down is not only to look good, but the actual effect is not great. On the contrary, it is one of the support points of Britain in the Far East. Keep Hong Kong for Britain. It can make them make concessions more happily, and what we should really pay attention to is here!"

Zhang Tinglan's right hand drew a circle in the southeast of China, just in time to draw both Ryukyu and Taiwan, and Rong Zhen's eyes lit up immediately.

"Taiwan used to be our territory. And Ryukyu is also one of our vassal states. These two places happen to be blocked on the road from southeast China to the Pacific Ocean. If we want our navy to go further, we must bring here."

"That's right. As long as Taiwan and Ryukyu are resolved, Nanyang will be exposed to us, and a small Hong Kong will be of no importance at all. In the future, the general staff must pay more attention to it. When the country is settled down, our next target is Japan. It's the so-called long-distance and short-distance attack." , before we solve the Japanese threat, we still have to win over the West first, and we can't tear ourselves apart!"

After Jiangsu and Zhejiang were resolved, the overall situation in the country was basically settled. Although there were still many local emperors in the two countries and the Southwest, they could basically be killed by political and economic means.A unified China has already emerged, and after the abolition of the treaty begins, China will completely get rid of the shackles, which is the immediate thing.

At this point, Zhang Tinglan naturally thought of the next development strategy. After all, within 20 years, China's main enemies will be Japan in the east and Russia in the north. Japan rushed back to the four islands, and the threat to the east of China was lifted.

In addition, it is best to maintain the pressure on Russia, and not let the polar bears easily complete industrialization. As long as these two points are achieved, China will be invincible in the future war. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan's strategic plan must be worked hard from now on.

"Vice President Mingjian, we must make a plan."

While Zhang Tinglan and Rong Zhen were discussing things, someone suddenly stumbled in with a look of horror written all over their faces.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan, he shouted loudly: "Vice President, something is wrong, Yan Xishan sent an urgent call!"

"Yan Xishan?" Zhang Tinglan snatched the telegram hastily when she heard it, and after looking at it twice, she was immediately dumbfounded, and a burst of anger rushed directly to her forehead.

"Yan Xishan, this idiot, how can he suffer such a disadvantage!" Zhang Tinglan slammed the telegram on the desk, furious to the extreme. Just now, she thought the world was peaceful, but she didn't know there was such a big loophole. It's just a slap in the face.

Rong Zhen also immediately picked up the telegram, and after a few glances, his forehead was already sweating. It turned out that Yan Xishan was ordered to go south to stop Wu Peifu's army, so Yan Xishan stationed the main force in Anyang, where Lu The Han Railway, as long as the main artery is under control, the Zhijun will not even think about going north.

The staff department is quite satisfied with Yan Xishan's arrangement, and this Yan Laoxi is quite capable.But since the start of the war, Wu Peifu has remained silent and made no movements, so Yan Xishan has relaxed a lot.

As a result, just yesterday, the Zhi army suddenly assembled in a large scale, and then divided into two groups to attack the Jin army's defense line. Caught off guard, Anyang's defense line collapsed. The Zhi army defeated the Jin army, and then the main force of the Zhi army seized Jinghan The railway, the army is going north quickly along the railway.

"Vice President, something is wrong. After Yan Xishan's collapse, we didn't have many garrisons from Anyang to the north, all the way to Beijing. The rebels can drive straight in without any scruples. The capital is in danger!" Rong Zhen said with a changed face. , As he spoke, a stream of cold sweat poured down his back.At the beginning, he felt that the troops remaining in Beijing were a little insufficient, but Zhang Tinglan believed too much in the ability of the Jin army, so he didn't know that something went wrong with them.

Zhang Tinglan was too regretful at this time. Although Yan Xishan was a celebrity in the history of the Republic of China, this guy was not known for his military talents. Yan Xishan was good at internal affairs.As for being clumsy in military affairs, pointing at Yan Laoxi to deal with Wu Peifu seems like a big mistake.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan wanted to slap herself twice.But he also knew that it was useless to regret, he had to find a way.Now the main force of Fengjun has all gone south.There is only one division in the capital.Moreover, they had to disperse their defenses. This force was too thin to stop the rebels at all.

"Rong Zhen, can you see where you can send troops here?"

Rong Zhen thought for a while, then shook his head in pain: "Vice President, from Anyang to Beijing. It only takes two days at most. The southward army has already crossed the Yangtze River. It will take at least four to five days to move north. As for There are still a large number of troops in the Northeast. But they are all stationed in the border areas. Facing the pressure from Russia and Japan, it will take at least three days to transfer them in. All of them are too far away to quench their thirst." Rong Zhen's mind was fast. He turned around a few times, but couldn't find a suitable team, and his heart suddenly hung up.

"Wu Peifu's timing is good!" Zhang Tinglan didn't know about Wu Peifu's situation, and thought it was his handwriting.Zhang Tinglan turned twice on the ground, he knew very well that the more critical the moment, the more important it is to keep a calm head.

"Rong Zhen, do you have any other ideas?"

Rong Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "Vice President, according to intelligence, there are at least 5 rebels going north this time, and there are still a large number of follow-up troops, and there is only one sixth division in the capital, and a large number of troops will be divided The troops are staring at Dongjiaominxiang and Tianjin and other places, and what can be mobilized is only a brigade, and it is really difficult to stop the rebels."

Speaking of this, Rong Zhen took a peek at Zhang Tinglan, and when he saw his expressionless face, he gritted his teeth and said: "Vice President, I mean to avoid the edge for the time being, we will retreat to the three eastern provinces, then mobilize the army, and let Yang The minister leads the army to the north, so the two sides will surely destroy the rebels easily!"

"No!" Zhang Tinglan resolutely rejected the proposal: "Although there is no emperor now, we can't talk about the death of the king, but the city of Beijing is also related to our life and death. We must not give up, otherwise the consequences will be too serious."

Zhang Tinglan said calmly: "The proposal to withdraw temporarily, you only settled the military account, not the political account. Now we are preparing to negotiate with the UK. This is a critical moment for the abolition of the unequal treaty. If we retreat outside the customs, what is it? , isn’t the previous effort all in vain? And once the rebels steal Beijing, how will it affect our military morale? If Britain and Japan take the opportunity to support the rebels, what should we do?”

Zhang Tinglan asked several questions in a row, leaving Rong Zhen speechless. He could not let Beijing go out of Beijing. This was something Zhang Tinglan had thought about for a long time.From the moment of entering the customs, you are only allowed to enter and not to retreat. To give up Beijing means failure and collapse!

At this time, Chang Yinhuai rushed in, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan, he hurriedly said, "Vice President, something is wrong. The rebels just issued a telegram, claiming that we are destroying civil rights and denying self-government. , Heinous, within a day, their army will go to Beijing and overthrow us."

Zhang Tinglan remained calm and asked calmly, "Is there any news?"

"Yes, the contact between the big powers and us has been interrupted. Both Britain and Japan have stated that they cannot negotiate with a government that may be overthrown at any time. In addition, foreign troops stationed in Dongjiaominxiang, Tianjin Concession and other places have been mobilized, especially Britain and Japan. "

"This is a joint attack. Maybe the big powers are behind this rebellion again."

Hearing the news of Chang Yinhuai, Zhang Tinglan's face became more serious. If there is a mistake in the capital, it will definitely be a fatal blow to his prestige, and it is almost unbearable.

In any case, this hurdle has to be passed. Zhang Tinglan thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "Rong Zhen, I will give you a brigade of troops, and immediately go south to Baoding to prevent the rebels from going north. If there is too much, just stick to it for half a day." .”

"Vice President, I promise to complete the task. It's just that after transferring a brigade, the capital will have no mobile force. Once there is a little disturbance, your situation will be too dangerous. The humble official is willing to take only one regiment south, even if it is the entire army. If you die in battle, you will definitely not let the rebels take a step north."

"Needless to say, there are tens of thousands of rebels, and one regiment can't do it at all. You can go to fight at ease, and I have my own way in the capital."

Seeing Zhang Tinglan's insistence, Rong Zhen didn't dare to say more. Although he felt uneasy, he could only pray that Zhang Tinglan had some tricks to turn things around.

Rong Zhen hurried down to make arrangements, Zhang Tinglan looked at Chang Yinhuai again, and then said: "The capital immediately strengthens its defenses, mobilizes all manpower for me, and monitors all parties, especially the big powers, if there is any trouble, please tell me. "

Chang Yinhuai immediately nodded in agreement, but he didn't turn around and leave, but lowered his voice and said, "Vice President, do you have any back tricks? If not, I always feel that I don't have enough confidence!"

Zhang Tinglan sighed, then smiled wryly: "To be honest, I really have no choice..."

"The rebels are coming, I heard that they have reached Baoding."

"No, I heard that we have already reached Lugou Bridge!"

"How can it be, how close is the Marco Polo Bridge, Beijing is right under your nose."

"Dare you, I heard that the vice president has long since left, the cabinet office is empty, and all the officials and lords have fled, leaving us ordinary people to wait."

"Then let's run quickly."

There was a lot of discussion everywhere in the capital, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky. One moment the people were immersed in the joy of abolishing the treaty, but the next second someone said that Zhang Tinglan's regime was shaken.Many old people are lamenting that the vice president can be regarded as a good person. With so many tax cuts, how come he finally got a good official, and he will be driven away!

During the chaos, countless leaflets suddenly appeared in the city, all of which were printed in the tone of rebels. They scolded Zhang Tinglan and told the people in the capital that the army would enter the city immediately, and Zhang Tinglan's regime was over.If you still follow Zhang Tinglan and his gang, you will have a dead end, and the army will kill you, and you will never tolerate rape.

"Let us out quickly, open the city gate quickly, we are going out of the city!"

A large group of ordinary people surrounded the gate of the city. They pushed small carts and brought a whole family with them. The gold and silver were delicate, crying loudly and desperately.

In the capital city, order seemed to be lost in an instant, and chaos broke out everywhere.

Chapter 733 Fu Zuoyi

"The Chinese people are a bunch of cowards. Whenever something happens, they will run away. Such incompetent citizens are not worthy of owning such a vast land!"

Ishihara said disdainfully, through the window of the teahouse, he could clearly see the situation below, the street was full of chaotic crowds, there were all kinds of leaflets on the ground, and the military and police were yelling back and forth desperately, but the effect Also very limited.

The government also dispatched a large number of people to come forward to explain, but the speed of the explanation couldn't compare to the speed of gossip. More and more common people became agitated, and even a large number of old officials became uneasy.If the rebels came to kill them, no one would know what would happen, so it was best to run away as soon as possible.

Once these officials fled, it caused even more chaos, and the common people ran away even more. In various departments of the capital, those old people who stayed in Beiyang either fled or claimed to be sick, and almost all government agencies were paralyzed.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Yin Rugeng also nodded with a flattering smile: "Mr. Shi Yuan is right, only the Great Japanese Empire is the country worthy of admiration in this world. Zhang Tinglan, a brat, does not know the number of days, and sooner or later he will not end well. , now is his retribution!"

Yin Rugeng gritted his teeth, seeming to hate Zhang Tinglan even more than Shi Yuan Waner.Yin Rugeng was a relatively well-known traitor during the Anti-Japanese War. When the Japanese came, the most distressing thing for the Chinese was that traitors were everywhere.In fact, these traitors were not created out of thin air, but the result of Japan's painstaking efforts.

Take Yin Rugeng as an example. He studied in Japan in his early years. After returning to China, he was known as a Japanese 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.They are mainly engaged in activities dealing with Japanese people.

In fact, from Yin Rugeng’s experience, it can be seen that the development of traitors by the Japanese is the result of a long-term operation. They start with foreign students, buy them, and then send them to government agencies. Once the Japanese call, these people will become traitors without accident, such as Xiqia.Zhou Fuhai and others are like this.
