Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 662 The Battle of Zhejiang Breaks Out
Wang Maoru learned about the Japanese's appeal to Duan Qirui the next day, but he was accompanying his second wife Yuzhuo in the delivery room. Yuzhuo gave birth to a girl as he wished. People said that her daughter was the mother's caring little cotton jacket. Yuzhuo always wanted to have a daughter, but now she got what she wished. She was angry with Wang Maoru before, and it also disappeared with the birth of her daughter. Wang Maoru also liked this daughter very much, but the newly born daughter had no flesh on her face and looked like a little monkey. He said in surprise: "So thin... Doctor, I have many daughters?"
"Five jin and seven liang," said the doctor.
Wang Maoru said, "Is it hard to support me so thin?" Yuzhuo glared at him, and my daughter was so angry that she was easy to support me.
The doctor smiled and said, "As long as there is enough breast milk, it is easy to support it."
Wang Maoru nodded and reached out to hug him. Yuzhuo said, "You name it first. The girl is too thin. I am afraid that she will be weak and sick in the future. Let's take a cheap life first. What about Yadan?"
Wang Maoru wanted to vomit blood and said, "Yidan? Why don't you call Xiao Shenyang? No, no." Wang Maoru walked around and said, "It's called Caiyi, as the saying goes, 'The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water', and don't call her nickname Yadan anymore. She is the daughter of the general general of the army. When our daughter grows up in the future, others ask Caiyi, what's your nickname? What's our daughter saying? My name is Yadan. When I was born, I was five and a half pounds. In order to support me in the future, my mother called me Yadan?"
Yuchan couldn't help but laugh and bent over with joy, saying, "Sister, this name is indeed not good."
Yuzhuo wanted to be happy and held back, and said very hard: "Then let you go. I don't care."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "The nickname is Xiaojiu. First, it is my ninth child, and second, it is the same as Jiu. It is forever, and I hope this child can live longer." Yuchan clapped and said, "Okay, okay, Xiaojiu, I like it." Yuzhuo hugged the child and said, "I like it very much, well, that's Xiaojiu."
When Wang Maoru arrived at the Army Department, the information from the CIC Department was placed on the table. Seeing Duan Qirui shirked the Japanese in every way, he praised: "Duan Gong is using the Japanese, but he is unwilling to be used by the Japanese. Even if he stepped down, he still has a lot of backbone. If he hadn't had a deep misunderstanding with me, I would really want to invite him out of the mountain."
Deputy Chief Feng Yinbin said: "Master, Duan Gong cannot come out of the mountain. He has a great prestige. If he comes out of the mountain..."
Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Of course he can't come out of the mountain, but I must ask him to come out of the mountain."
"Why is this?" Feng Yinbin said strangely.
Wang Maoru said: "This is called hypocrisy, also called politics. You can understand that you have to ask him to come out, but you can't let him come out."
Feng Yinbin scratched his head and Dongban: "The more you say it, the more I am confused."
"Think about it yourself." Wang Maoru smiled faintly, "Let Li Muyu come."
After Li Muyu, the head of the CIC Department, arrived, Wang Maoru told him that if the Japanese win over Duan Qirui, they would definitely win over others. There are only two possibilities now, one is the Guangdong Revolutionary Government, and the other is the Zhejiang Army Governor Lu Yongxiang, who has never accepted the reorganization of the Zhejiang Army, who has a cooperative relationship with the National Defense Forces, and asked the CIC Department to step up their infiltration and surveillance of Zhejiang and Guangdong. Li Muyu immediately obeyed the order and sent more agents to the two places.
Duan Qirui's delay made the Japanese very angry. A few months later, the Japanese turned their attention to another person, Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang, and the last warlord of the Anhui clan.
Lu Yongxiang is a strong general of the Anhui clan. He has nearly 100,000 troops under his command, occupying the richest Zhejiang Province and the most dynamic region of Shanghai. Lu Yongxiang did not expect Japan to take the initiative to win over him, and acted unselfishly and helped him wholeheartedly, promising to support arms, support military pay, and support non-commissioned officers to build the army. There is no good thing about losing pies in the sky. Lu Yongxiang immediately found Xu Shuzheng, who was the chief of staff at this time. Seeing this, Xu Shuzheng immediately said, "Yes, don't do it for nothing, why don't you? Even if the Japanese have ambitions, they have made us rich."
Lu Yongxiang's confidant adviser Yang Yuxun said with a vague concern in his heart: "Zhengshuai, if you accept Japanese aid at this time, I am afraid that we will lose a game first, morally."
Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said, "Qishan, you only think of losing a moral situation. But if you do not accept assistance, our army will be considered dangerous after the National Defense Forces digest the direct army and territory next year. Even if Wang Maoru's domination is inevitable in the future, our army will accept the millions of Japanese military aid, at least Wang Maoru has to let Brother Zijia be the commander of the first legion, right?"
Lu Yongxiang nodded with a smile. The Japanese used him to fight Wang Maoru, but did he use the Japanese to increase capital for himself? Wang Maoru's momentum of unification of the country was very obvious. The north had completed unification, and along with military unification, the economy, currency and government decrees were gradually unified. The people of the whole country were already tired of the nine-year war from the early years of the Republic of China to the present, and the voices of domestic calls for unification are increasing.
Lu Yongxiang is not stupid. He was able to be the commander and become the last Anhui general. He had his own ideas in his mind, and he was just sitting on the ground to raise prices. Now the Japanese military aid allowed him to see the capital to raise prices. If he armed a hundred thousand troops, how could Wang Maoru settle him? Zhang Zuolin is the commander of the legion, Wu Peifu is the commander of the legion, and Lu Yongxiang is at least not worse than them. Lu Yongxiang also wants to be the commander of the legion.
With the attitude of using Japan's support as a bargaining chip, Lu Yongxiang sent his subordinates to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai to reach an agreement with the Japanese to accept military aid and financial aid. Japan first secretly delivered the armed forces worth 500,000 yen to Lu Yongxiang, but Lu Yongxiang announced a high-profile plan for military expansion. The Fourth Brigade of the Third Division of the Zhejiang Army immediately expanded it to the Sixth Brigade of the Fourth Division. In addition to 500,000 yuan of Japanese armed forces and arms ammunition, Japan also provided Lu Yongxiang with an interest-free loan of 1.5 million yen for military expenditure.
This time, Lu Yongxiang had money, guns, and people. Originally, his idea was to take the opportunity to raise his value, but as his confidence expanded, Piaopiaoran felt that he shouldn't surrender and competed for the world with Wang Maoru? With this idea, Lu Yongxiang immediately sent his confidant to Fujian to win over Li Houji, to Jiangxi to win over Chen Guangyuan, and to Anhui to win over Zhang Shixiong, the current commander of the Dingwu Army.
Li Houji immediately refused. He is now the governor of Fujian Province and no longer has military power. How could he interfere with this matter? Chen Guangyuan was even more direct and rolled up his sleeves and said that I was originally a direct person, but now I am from Gu Fo Angji, so how could he be with you Anhui people? Lu Yongxiang, who was rejected, had to pin his hopes on Anhui Dingwu Army, who was also from Anhui.
Now the commander of the Dingwu Army, Zhang Shixiong, acting as the Anhui Governor, was worried. Since Zhang Wensheng was assassinated, President Xu Shichang ordered the soldiers who raped the teachers and students of Caisang Girls' School and publicly pronounced the sentence. In the end, under the supervision of a special judge sent by Beijing, all the 26 Dingwu Army soldiers involved in the rape of Caisang Girls' School were sentenced to death. The basis for the judgment was that the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 1 of the "Regulations on the Protection of Women and Children's Rights and Interests of the National Defense Forces in the Five Northeastern Provinces, all the raping of minor girls and ** criminals were unforgivable, and they were immediately executed by the public to show the protection of women and children by the government of the Republic of China.
On the day of the execution, soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms of the National Defense Forces protected the venue. Twenty-six soldiers were beheaded in public and their heads hung on the city gate. The people cheered one after another. The families of the female students who committed suicide knelt on the ground and cried and shouted long live the Grand Marshal Shangwu. The scene greatly shocked Zhang Shixiong, the acting commander of the Dingwu Army in Anhui. The heads hung on the Anqing city gate warned that all those who violated the National Defense Forces had no good end. After thinking for a while, Zhang Shixiong refused Lu Yongxiang's win over.
The leader of the Zhejiang Army, Lu Yongxiang, never looked down on Zhang Shixiong at all, but because of the rejection of this looked down upon, Lu Yongxiang became even more angry. He was so unpopular? After receiving the support of the Japanese, the Zhejiang Army immediately expanded the Zhejiang Army with the help of Xu Shuzheng.
At this time, the Zhejiang Army had a total of 80,000 troops of the 6th Brigade of the Fourth Division, namely the 10th Division of the Beiyang Army and the 4th Division of the Beiyang Army, the 1st and 2nd Division of the Zhejiang Army, the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, and the 1st to 5th Mixed Brigade of the Zhejiang Army. Among them, the 1st and 1st and 5th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army. Among them, the 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and
Brigade Commander Wang Yongquan, brigade commander of Zhejiang Fourth Mixed Brigade Pan Guogang, and brigade commander of Zhejiang Fifth Mixed Brigade Guo Shusheng, Xu Shuzheng as the Chief of General Staff and Yang Yuxun as the Director of the Liaison Office. In addition to the regular troops, the Zhejiang Army also has a force that cannot be ignored, that is, the Police Corps, a 12,000-person police Corps. Its commander Xia Chao has always asked the Police Corps to secretly raise funds and equip the troops. The combat capabilities of this more than 10,000 troops are far greater than any army under Lu Yongxiang.
The expansion of the Zhejiang Army had long been heard by Wang Maoru. He ordered the Central Intelligence Department to pay attention at all times and ordered the troops of Jiangsu, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for war at any time. At the same time, he ordered the Qilin Army to move from Kaifeng to Nanjing, Jiangsu. At the same time, Wang Mao ordered the Beihai Fleet to advance eastward from Wuhan along the Yangtze River to Shanghai, assist in occupying Shanghai, and then detour the Zhejiang coast, preparing to force the Zhejiang army to surrender.
