Beiyang reactionaries

Yang Wei first set the tone.

Must hit.

Duan Xun has always been a general of the Anhui Clan and the closest direct descendant of Duan Qirui.In recent years, Duan Qirui has attached great importance to Duan Xun. Without Duan Qirui's regard, there would be no Duan Xun now.In the current battle between Anhui and Anhui, if Duan Xun, a general of the Anhui Department, does not make a move, he will be infamous and looked down upon by the world.

Even if everyone scolds the Zhiwan War, thinking that the war between the warlords will bring disaster to the country and the people.But if Duan Xun really did not participate in the Zhiwan War and did not support Duan Qirui, then those people would in turn call Duan Xun ungrateful.

So Duan Xun must participate in the Zhiwan War.

"However, how to fight and where to fight, this is the general's decision. General, as the saying goes, you will not accept the orders of the emperor outside. Although Duan Hefei hopes that the general can send troops to the north to join the war, but I think it is better to go directly to Henan or directly. We should encircle Wei and save Zhao. This will help Duan Hefei even more."

"Why do you encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

Duan Xun asked Yang Wei with a smile.

Yang Wei is really a counselor who has followed him for a long time, and he immediately grasped Duan Xun's thoughts.Duan Xun knew that his actions were a little ungrateful, after all, Duan Qirui had never let Duan Xun down.

Since Duan Xun first met Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui has been supporting Duan Xun.I don't know how much support Duan Qirui has given to Duan Xun so far.Without Duan Qirui's support, there would be no Duan Xun now.It would be ungrateful for Duan Xun not to send heavy troops to support Duan Qirui.So although Duan Xun had a detailed plan, he kept silent, wanting his subordinates to speak.

Although a little ungrateful, Duan Xun had to be like this.

Duan Qirui's generals are a bunch of idiots, or they haven't led troops to fight for many years, and they are not prepared for war at all.

Starting from Duan Zhigui, although Qu Tongfeng is good at teaching, he is really nothing in war.Moreover, the Anhui troops have been defiant over the years, and have basically never fought a battle, and their combat effectiveness has dropped drastically.In comparison, the troops of Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin have been actively preparing for war in recent years, especially the troops of Cao Kun, whose combat effectiveness has risen linearly.Duan Qirui's Anhui troops just looked at the number of people, and they were not at all sure of fighting the Zhili and Fengli.

More importantly, if Duan Xun's troops enter the main battlefield, whoever will listen to them at that time.Even if Duan Xun went in person, Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui, Qu Tongfeng, Xu Shuzheng and others were also juniors, so he had to listen to them.If Duan Xun does not go, the generals under Duan Xun will have no room to bargain.

Under such circumstances, how could Duan Xun send troops into the main battlefield.

"General, look."

Yang Wei came out and stood in front of the map and said, "The sources of the immediate troops are mainly Cao Kun's Zhili, Li Chun's Jiangsu, Chen Guangyuan's Jiangxi, and Wang Zhanyuan's Hubei. Then there is Zhao Ti, who is currently close to the direct line. , Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan. In the north, Duan Hefei has enough strength to deal with Cao Kun and Li Chun's troops. Then we will help Duan Hefei deal with Wang Zhanyuan and Chen Guangyuan, as well as Zhao Ti's Yi Army and Yan Xishan's Jin Army. If we can help Duan Hefei and solve these troops, it will be much more useful than our troops entering Zhili. Our troops have traveled a long distance to enter the Zhili battlefield, maybe they will not be able to play any role at all. It is better to encircle Wei and save Zhao. "

"go on."

"However, Jiangxi is a little far away from us, and we can't control it. There are Wu Guangxin's troops in Henan, and we are only as an auxiliary. In addition, we can station troops in northern Shaanxi to deter Shanxi. Therefore, I suggest that our main attack target this time be on the Hubei. Concentrate forces to expel Wang Zhanyuan and take Hubei."

Duan Xun smiled slightly.

Yang Wei expressed half of his thoughts.

Duan Xun is not very concerned about who will win this battle between Zhiwan and Anhui.In fact, in Duan Xun's heart, he still counted on the victory of the direct lineage, especially the victory of Cao Kun.Because although it is good for Duan Qirui to continue to control the Beijing government, it will have too many fetters on Duan Xun.

Duan Xun can't do anything he wants.

After all, Duan Qirui's thoughts must be taken care of.As long as Duan Qirui controls Beijing, Duan Xun will not be able to truly stand on his own.But once Duan Qirui steps down, Duan Xun can do many actions without worrying about Beijing.Therefore, in this war, Duan Xun did not want to send troops to Zhili.

On the contrary, using this opportunity to expand one's territory is the kingly way.

Hubei.

This is Duan Xun's biggest goal this time.Hubei is an industrial province in China, and some important heavy industries in China are located in Hubei.I think Zhang Zhidong was in Hubei back then, but he built many factories.In particular, the Hanyang Arsenal is also in Hubei. If Duan Xun controls the Hanyang Arsenal, then 90.00% of China's weapons production will be in the hands of Duan Xun.

Therefore, Hubei must be won.

Yang Wei expressed his thoughts.

"What do you think?"

211 prepare 2

"What do you think?"

"General, Wang Zhanyuan is a direct line general and one of the three governors of the Yangtze River. We have helped Duan Hefei a lot by eliminating Wang Zhanyuan. I think this idea is very good. We will fight Wang Zhanyuan and Hubei."

Dai Kan spoke.

After more than half a year in charge of the work of the four provincial border supervision agencies, Dai Kan has become more and more dignified.Duan Xun gave Dai Kan a lot of power and asked him to handle the daily work of the four provincial border supervision agencies.

Although Duan Xun needs to decide on big things, Dai Kan can take care of small things.Contacting the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and various departments in western Hunan also allowed Dai Kan to familiarize himself with the operating mechanism of the frontier supervision agencies of the four provinces in a short period of time.

Dai Kan is still very capable, and his daily affairs are handled in an orderly manner.

Great increase in power.

Dai Kan is a man with dreams.

Just like his teacher Liang Qichao.After the War to Protect the Country, Liang Qichao's prestige soared.But he bears the notoriety, and he wants to support Duan Qirui.Including during the battle between the government and the court, he strongly supported Duan Qirui and opposed the presidential palace because Liang Qichao had his own political ambitions.Liang Qichao originally hoped that Duan Qirui would become the president and himself the prime minister.Even if it is a presidential system, Liang Qichao is willing.Or Duan Qirui is in charge of the army and governs himself.

Anyway, Liang Qichao's idea is to form a cabinet by himself, to govern the country by himself, to display his ambitions, and to display his talents in governing the country.

It's just that Liang Qichao's idea could not be realized.

For Liang Qichao, Duan Qirui only hoped to use his connections to control the Congress and fight against Li Yuanhong and later Feng Guozhang.Duan Qirui also has his own ideas, how can he hand over the cabinet to Liang Qichao.After Duan Qirui's Anfu Department took control of the Congress, Duan Qirui kicked Liang Qichao away.Because Duan Qirui no longer needs Liang Qichao at this time.

Although there are such lessons learned, Dai Kan still has to give it a try.

Duan Xun will enter Beijing in the future, and Dai Kan hopes to be able to partner with Duan Xun.Just like Liang Qichao, if Duan Xun becomes the president, Dai Kan hopes that he can become the prime minister.

Therefore, Dai Kan worked very hard when he was in charge of the border supervision agencies of the four provinces.Not only was the matter handled very well, but he would also send telegrams to Duan Xun for slightly important matters, asking for Duan Xun's opinion.

Because Dai Kan learned a lesson from Liang Qichao's failure.Duan Qirui and Liang Qichao were just political allies at the time. Duan Qirui only needed Liang Qichao to fight against the presidential palace.Political allies, to put it bluntly, are a combination of interests.When there is interest, the two parties cooperate closely.Duan Qirui would not consider Liang Qichao at all when he didn't need it.

This is a lesson.

Dai Kan didn't want to be like Liang Qichao.Dai Kan does not want Duan Xun to regard himself as a political ally, but hopes that Duan Xun regards himself as a part of Duan Xun's group, and also hopes that the big bosses in Duan Xun's group regard themselves as a family.In this way, Duan Xun will not kick himself away in the future, but he can follow in Duan Xun's footsteps and rise step by step.

So what Dai Kan does now is for the benefit of Duan Xun Group.During this period of time, apart from dealing with matters, Dai Kan was thinking about Duan Xun's speeches and instructions in recent years, etc. every day.Dai Kan wanted to see Duan Xun's attitude from these things.

Dai Kan is a smart man.

Judging from the current public opinion in Sichuan newspapers and periodicals, and Duan Xun's reuse of some People's Party members, it can be seen that Duan Xun is very supportive of some of the People's Party's ideas.So during this period of time, Dai Kan continued to analyze some public propositions of the People's Party.

This time at the meeting, Dai Kan hadn't spoken at all.But Dai Kan agreed with what Yang Wei said.Dai Kan also believed that if Duan Xun's large army went north to Zhili to participate in the war, it would be of no use and would not benefit at all.

It is better to win Hubei, which is the real benefit.

So he immediately spoke up to support Yang Wei.

"General, I also think that Hubei is the most suitable target once a fight really starts. And we have a lot of convenience to attack Hubei. We have Tang Shengzhi's sixth mixed brigade in Yuezhou and Tian Songyao's first mixed brigade in the Southwest Frontier Defense Army. Changli (Changde and Lizhou) and Yichang have the 5000th division (division commander Wang Tianzhen), and in Kuizhou we have the 5th division (Xiong Qixun), with a total of more than [-] people. As long as we send another division to Yichang , then we can deploy about [-] people around Hubei. During the war of protecting the law in Hubei, because half of the troops of the Hubei army responded to the law, the losses were very large. Including the Battle of Yuezhou, the Second Division and the Hunan The army lost a lot. This year, Wang Zhanyuan has not recovered at all, and the interior of Hubei is not peaceful. Taking Hubei is the most likely."

Xu Yongchang immediately spoke as the chief of staff.

Based on the current deployment of Duan Xun's troops, it is indeed the most suitable to attack Hubei.Because many of Duan Xun's main forces are arranged around Hubei, it should be said to be around important cities in Hubei.Moreover, Wang Zhanyuan has not been able to fully control Hubei in Hubei.

This is related to the special situation in Hubei during the [-] Revolution.

The Wuchang Uprising broke out here.
