Beiyang reactionaries

Mazi immediately expressed his views.

Chen Jiongming, Xu Chongzhi, and Deng Keng are all well-known players who have been famous for many years. Ma Ji is still very afraid of them.Now they have a batch of munitions, and they can fight with a little training.At that time, the Guangdong Army will have more than 2 people, which will be difficult to deal with.

"How could I not know."

Lu Rongting nodded.

After thinking for a while, I said, "But if Duan Xun's troops don't withdraw, I can't let go of my heart. What if Duan Xun surprises us when we are fighting Chen Jiongming? But it will be soon, even if Duan Xun's troops don't retreat , as long as there is a fight in one place, then we can also send troops."

"where?"

"Hengyang."

Lu Rongting pointed to Hengyang on the map, and then said: "When Wu Peifu's troops leave Hunan, Zhang Jingyao and Tan Yankai will definitely fight. As long as they fight, let alone Zhang Jingyao, even Duan Xun's troops will be restrained Stay. It is impossible for Duan Xun to leave the Hunan Army alone and come to fight with us. Then it is time for us to send troops.”

"Father, will Zhang Jingyao really fight the Hunan Army?"

"Yes, definitely."

Lu Rongting was very sure.

Then he said with a smile: "If Zhang Jingyao doesn't send troops, he will have no face to continue to be his governor of Hunan. Zhang Jingyao can't provoke Wu Peifu. If he doesn't even dare to provoke the Hunan army, then how can he be his governor of Hunan? Everyone will know I underestimated him. Moreover, Wu Peifu handed over such an important place to the Hunan Army, and Zhang Jingyao’s temper couldn’t be tolerated. Even if Zhang Jingyao could bear it, the Hunan Army would do everything possible to expel Zhang Jingyao. So there will definitely be a fight between them, This is beyond doubt.”

"Cut. Father, can Zhang Jingyao win the Hunan Army with just a few blows?"

Mazi complained.

Although the Hunan army cannot be said to be very strong, its combat effectiveness is definitely not easy to mess with.During the Dharma War, the three armies of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi fought against the Beiyang Army. In fact, the Hunan Army was really not very good in terms of weapons and equipment, and it was not as good as the Guangdong and Guangxi troops.

But the Hunan Army can fight.

It caused great casualties to the Beiyang Army.Including the Second Division of the Beiyang Army that drove away Wang Jinjing in Yuezhou, and the Second Division of the Beiyang Army fought against Wu Peifu's Third Division during the second attack on Hunan, and later launched the Battle of Eastern Hunan. The performance of the Hunan Army was very good.It is much better than the performance of the Guangdong and Guangxi troops.

As for Zhang Jingyao?

Ma Ji looked down on Zhang Jingyao.Duan Qirui has many generals in his hands, and Zhang Jingyao, the desperate Saburo, is very popular with Duan Qirui.Otherwise, Duan Qirui would not have appointed Zhang Jingyao as the governor of Hunan.

But Zhang Jingyao's ability in fighting was looked down upon by many people.Each expedition is either a big defeat or annihilation of the entire army.That is to dare to fight, but really not very good at fighting.

"It's best if you can't beat the Hunan Army. Only when Tan Yankai's strength increases greatly can Duan Xun be honest."

"Tap-tap-"

"Master."

"Guannan (Shen Hongying) is here, sit down quickly."

Lu Rongting was very enthusiastic when he saw Shen Hongying.

In fact, Lu Rongting has always been very wary of Shen Hongying, and has thought about dealing with Shen Hongying several times.Because among Lu Rongting's troops, the main force is all direct descendants created by Lu Rongting.However, Shen Hongying's army formed its own system and defected to Lu Rongting later.But Shen Hongying is very smart, and can guess Lu Rongting's thoughts every time.Just like during the War to Protect the Nation, Shen Hongying guessed that Lu Rongting would oppose Yuan, so he was the first to stand up and impassionedly express that he would oppose Yuan during the meeting.Lu Rongting liked Shen Hongying's sharp eyesight so much, and slowly gave up his defense against him.In the past few years, Shen Hongying has become more and more important.

On the contrary, Ma Ji disliked Shen Hongying very much.

Ma Ji is Lu Rongting's adopted son, and he is even more valued by Lu Rongting than Lu Rongting's own son.Now Ma Ji is the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong First Army. He is a high-ranking and powerful soldier in Guangdong.

Mo Rongxin, the governor of Guangdong, is getting old, so he wants to retire.The Guangdong governor he recommended to Lu Rongting was Shen Hongying, not Lu Rongting's adopted son Ma Ji.This made Mazi very angry.Because Ma Ji himself has always regarded himself as Lu Rongting's successor, the position of Guangdong Governor should be his own.

But Mo Rongxin actually recommended Shen Hongying, how could Ma Ji have a good look at Shen Hongying.However, after Shen Hongying came to Lu Rongting's place, Lu Rongting's direct descendants have always rejected Shen Hongying, showing Shen Hongying's face.

So Shen Hongying didn't care about Ma Ji's cannibalistic eyes at all.If Shen Hongying cared about everything, how could he climb to the current position.

"Marshal, something big is going to happen in the north."

"what happened?"

"Didn't the newspapers keep reporting about Qingdao recently? They said that Britain, France, the United States and Japan would transfer the rights and interests of Qingdao to Japan at the Paris Peace Conference."

"kindness."

Lu Rongting nodded.

I don't know what happened during this time, but Chinese newspapers suddenly paid attention to two issues.One is the issue of Qingdao at the Paris Peace Conference.The Chinese delegation wants to take back the rights and interests of Qingdao, while Japan wants to take away the rights and interests of Qingdao.

The reports are very biased.

It is believed that with the cooperation of Britain, France, the United States and Japan, it will be difficult for China to get back the rights and interests of Qingdao.

Another report is about the current Chinese customs.

Tell the truth.

Criticize Western powers for forcing China to accept extremely low tariffs.Come up with a lot of figures, indicating how much money China has lost due to low tariffs, etc.Then the two things were combined again, thinking that China's backwardness and China's suffering are the reasons for these Western powers.

Voices criticizing foreign powers appeared in the newspapers one after another.

It baffles many people.Although nationalism in China has been on the rise, it suddenly criticizes Western powers in this way.And there are still specific things to refer to, and there are not many such things.

"The newspapers in Beijing disclosed it today. It said that the efforts of the Chinese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference had completely failed. The Paris Peace Conference decided to transfer the rights and interests of Qingdao from Germany to Japan. I heard that people from all walks of life in Beijing were alarmed by this news. .”

"it is good."

When Lu Rongting heard Shen Hongying's report, he immediately patted the table.

This is the best news Lu Rongting has heard these days.Whether Qingdao's rights or not, Lu Rongting has no time to care about it.And it's not Lu Rongting's turn to take care of this matter.

Anyway, China has sold more rights and interests over the years.It's not that Qingdao was ceded to Japan, but some rights and interests in the Shandong area were given to Japan.Lu Rongting didn't care about this matter at all.

Lu Rongting now only knows that this news is too timely.

Great.

"Father, this..."

Ma Ji didn't understand why Lu Rongting was so happy.Isn't it the failure of China's negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference? It's not a big deal.Mazi didn't even care about the Paris Peace Conference.

If it weren't for the excitement in the newspapers recently, Mazi wouldn't even know what the Paris Peace Conference was about.

Qingdao?

What does Qingdao have to do with himself and Lu Rongting?Lu Rongting's sphere of influence is the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Except for the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, he focuses on the southern provinces of Hunan and Fujian, which are thousands of miles away from Qingdao.Who owns Qingdao does not affect Lu Rongting's side.

"I've been thinking about what kind of name Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun will use to start a war with Duan Qirui. Now this is not just an excuse, but the best excuse. Whoever manages the Beijing government is a sinner. The Paris peace conference failed, and the rights and interests of Qingdao were ceded to Japan. Then the current Beijing government is a traitor, that is, Duan Qirui is a traitor. How could Cao Kun and the others not use such a good excuse. They have all the excuses, and they are not far from war gone."

Lu Rongting was born as a bandit, so in some respects he may not have a high profile.Only focus on your own one-acre three-point land, and will not consider issues from a higher height.But the head melon is very flexible.Think of everything at once.

The straight and Anhui factions are really going to fight.

When such a thing happened, the direct lineage had an excuse, and an excuse to crusade against Duan Qirui's Anhui lineage.And it's a pretty good excuse.As long as they fight, no one has time to control themselves.Lu Rongting is getting more and more proud now.When the two factions of Zhi and Anhui fought, they would wipe out Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi's Cantonese army. If they went well, they would enter Fujian and drive away Li Houji, the Fujian governor of the Anhui faction.
