Although Wang Shijie had built up three armies in Shanxi, Qiao Zhiqing only gave him the name of the New Second Army, and the other two armies only belonged to the New Second Army in the past.At that time, there was only Wang Shijie in Jiangbei who was a big man all the way, and Qiao Zhiqing did not give him a title in order to prevent him from raising troops and respecting himself.It's not that he doesn't believe in Wang Shijie, it's just that politics is like this, and power must always be kept relatively balanced and restricted.After the three-way army in the south of the Yangtze River crossed the river, Qiao Zhiqing also added a new 11th Army and a new 12th Army to him.The Taiyuan Military Region includes five provinces: Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Inner Mongolia, and Shandong.The commander of the military region is Liu Yunqing, the new commander of the Left Army, Lin Quanbao, the chief of staff of the military region, and the new commander of the Right Army, Lin Quanbao, the deputy commander of the military region, is Luo Sanyuan, the new commander of the New First Army."
Commander-in-Chief, is it news from the president?"
the generals gathered in the operations conference room, greeted each other and sat down.Zhang Xian, commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, couldn't wait to ask, always looking like a hippie smile.Wang Shijie is now not only vice minister of national defense, but also commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.Jiangbei's affairs are currently in his sole responsibility."
Yes, is the president ready to make a move against the northwest?"
Liu Yunqing, commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan Military Region, also asked curiously, the current Taiyuan Military Region is only in charge of one province in Shanxi, and he has long been a little impatient."
Don't worry, the president means to take Shaanxi first" Wang Shijie chuckled, handed Qiao Zhiqing's military report to the generals to circulate, and then picked up the baton and introduced to the military map, "The gateway to the northwest of Shaanxi, if you want to enter the northwest, you must first pull out this nail, and then there will be no worries about reviewing."
Of course, this operation also includes the Xiangyang area under the control of Luo Bingzhang in Shaanxi. ”"Why doesn't the president want to open up two fronts at the same time, why did he suddenly change his mind, if he attacked Shaanxi, he would have to declare war on the Qing court," Li Qingshan, chief of staff of the Lanzhou Military Region, couldn't help but ask."
Yes, if there is a war with the Qing court, I am afraid it will be a little difficult for us to deal with the two fronts of the east and the west at the same time" Lin Quanbao, chief of staff of the Taiyuan Military Region, also frowned.The other generals discussed their own discussions, and they were all secretly puzzled."
Be quiet, I still have a secret letter here, which was sent from Beijing.Last time, we successively provided 50,000 foreign guns to Shandong Tiandihui, and they also played a role.The imperial court was worried that they would come to the capital, so it prepared to gather a large army to completely destroy them.Not only the Yuan family army in Henan, but also the cavalry of Seng Lin Geqin will also be transferred to Shandong to suppress bandits," Wang Shijie smiled, and handed over the secret report in his hand to the generals to circulate."
Dashuai is really far-sighted, when I borrowed a gun from the Heaven and Earth Society, I was a little reluctant.I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, they have helped us a lot" Zhang Xian spit out happily, and he also gave Wang Shijie a special advice, wanting Qiao Zhiqing to take back the order.You must know that after these foreign guns are sent out, no one will know what the Boxer Rebellion led by the Heaven and Earth Society will develop, isn't this just creating a strong opponent for yourself in vain."
Everything Dashuai does has his own reason, he looks at the big picture, and we only look at the part.So he can think of things you think, and he can think of things you can't think of. ”Wang Shijie smiled, lit a Chinese cigarette and smoked.This kind of special cigarette is very soft and long, and Wang Shijie now stays up late every day, and it has become a cigarette basket."
Commander-in-chief, you just give the order, and this battle will be handed over to our Lanzhou Military Region, right on our territory" Zhang Xian nodded, and begged excitedly."
Commander Zhang, we have just arrived, and the brothers are all eager to make meritorious contributions, so let's fight the battle in Shaanxi."
Liu Yunqing, commander of the Taiyuan Military Region, also clenched his fists and asked for his life, and he and Wang Shijie were more familiar than Zhang Xian.Back then, both of them were dart masters of the Tongxing Public Dart Bureau, and in terms of seniority, Liu Yunqing had to go to Wang Shijie for a round.This is also the reason why Wang Shijie nominated Liu Yunqing as the commander of the Taiyuan Military Region, and he was relieved to put his own people by his side."
Commander-in-Chief, hand it over to our Lanzhou Military Region to be responsible" "Commander-in-Chief, hand it over to our Taiyuan Military Region" The generals below also scrambled to snatch it up with intimidation, and this time with the cooperation of the Sichuan Military Region in the south, it would be easy to take Shaanxi, and no one wanted to miss this opportunity to make meritorious contributions."
Alright, you all don't fight.This operation will be completed by your two military regions.This time, the Sichuan Military Region was mainly responsible for the army in Jiangnan.They will pass through Jingzhou, go through Jingmen, and after taking Xiangyang, they will enter Shaanxi from Ankang Mansion in the southeast of Shaanxi, and attack the Hanzhong area.And we have occupied Tongchuan Mansion in northern Shaanxi, which is more than 100 miles away from Xi'an, and the main area is in the middle of the attack.Therefore, I decided that the Shaanxi Military Region would march from Tongchuan Prefecture to Guanzhong from the southwest, leaving a large army to defend Gansu.The Shanxi Military Region crossed the Tongguan Pass from Puzhou and marched into Guanzhong from the southeast, leaving a large army to defend Shanxi.After clearing the prefectures and counties on the periphery of Guanzhong, and finally meeting and making peace outside Xi'an City, they will jointly attack Xi'an City. ”Wang Shijie's expression returned to seriousness, and he kept using the baton to compare up and down on the map.The generals in the "subordinate orders" war room all stood up, shouted, and saluted straight."
Alright, it's up to you to work out your own tactics.As soon as the report came out, it was handed over to me for review.A week later, prepare to launch an attack on Guanzhong" Wang Shijie put down his baton and nodded to the generals, full of fighting spirit and high spirits.After the meeting ended, Wang Shijie returned to the study, and there was an acquaintance waiting in the room."
Brother Wang, it's really not easy to see you, I've drunk more than a dozen bowls of tea alone."
The acquaintance touched his bulging belly as he spoke, he was Qiao Zhiqing's nephew, Qiao Yaoguang.Qiao Yaoguang and Wang Shijie are of the same generation, and now they are not only the director of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, but also the director of Taiyuan Arsenal.So there is no restraint in front of Wang Shijie, and there are a lot of words when the two are together."
Yaoguang, have you made all the grenades I want, now you can wait for them to be used" In the Huaxing army, Wang Shijie attaches more importance to grenades, this kind of weapon is extremely lethal when fighting at close range, and sometimes it is more effective than mortars."
Don't worry, I'm here to deliver the goods to you today, and I've negotiated with the later department of your army just now, and they're counting the quantity.How about it, I have made such a great contribution, how do you want to reward me" Lee Kuan Yew teased, his stomach was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but go to the toilet.Originally, Wang Shijie only ordered grenades for the three-way army, and according to the number of ten grenades per person, one million rounds would be produced.Later, Qiao Zhiqing replenished the three-way army from Jiangbei, and there were more than 100,000 people.Wang Shijie immediately renewed another million rounds, so that Qiao Yaoguang hurried up to produce it.After more than two years of training, Qiao Yaoguang has already matured.He was originally from a merchant family, and he was almost born with an innate talent for doing business, and his brain turned very quickly.Since serving as the director of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, he has gathered all his classmates, and there is no shortage of talents around him.Because of the relationship between resources, the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant and the military factory are now twice as large as the Nanjing Iron and Steel Plant and the military factory."
Yaoguang, when the whole country is unified, I will take you to Jinkui City in the south of the Yangtze River to have a good time.Shanxi is poor and bad, where is there any fun place. ”After Qiao Guangyao came back from the toilet, Wang Shijie took a sip of tea and jokingly assured him."
Brother Wang, you can brag.If my uncle had known that you had been to Jinkui City, he would have broken your legs.I heard that there is a drama troupe in Taiyuan City recently, and Hua Dan, who is in charge, is very handsome, do you want to go and see it" Qiao Guangyao smiled the most, and asked with a wicked smile on his face, and only he dared to joke so much about the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army."
Forget it, the army has military regulations, and you don't know your uncle's temper."
Wang Shijie shook his head, walked to the desk, and sorted out the military newspapers on the table."
Okay, anyway, I'm not your Huaxing Army.I really don't understand, you are also in your twenties, why have you never seen you looking for a woman, are you not interested in women, you like men" Qiao Guangyao covered his chest exaggeratedly, pretending to be frightened, and stood up as he spoke."
you, hurry up and find your Hua Dan, this commander is a famous person" Wang Shijie glared at him, shook his head helplessly, and lowered his head to read the military newspaper."
Okay, then don't bother Brother Wang, junior brother will go to investigate for you, whether Hua Dan is beautiful or not" Qiao Guangyao snorted angrily, smiled and hugged his fists and said goodbye, and immediately withdrew from the house.Wang Shijie smiled bitterly, and suddenly remembered Lin Meizhu who was far away in Beijing, and he didn't know if she was doing well.In the Forbidden City, there was also a beautiful girl looking at the south at this time, and she seemed to be beating with a sense in her heart.From time to time, the bleak autumn wind blew, and my eyes suddenly became hot for some reason.A week later, the Chengdu Military Region's two-route armies and the Taiyuan Military Region's and Lanzhou's fourth-route armies marched toward Shaanxi from the northeast, northwest, southwest, and northwest respectively.The Chengdu Military Region is divided into two routes, led by Commander Zhang Shusheng and Chief of Staff Zhang Yuchun.One route was Zhang Shusheng led the New Ninth Army from Guangyuan City to Shaanxi, mainly attacking the direction of Hanzhong.One route was Zhang Yuchun who led the New Tenth Army to Jingzhou, marched into the Jiangbei area of Hubei, and attacked the direction of Xiangyang.Because a new army has just been recruited, it is in intense training, and now it doesn't even have a number.Therefore, Wu Xuguang, deputy commander of the military region, was stationed in Chengdu to continue training the new army.A great war is about to begin, and Shaanxi is surrounded on all sides.The Huaxing Army dispatched a total of six route armies, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.Luo Bingzhang had already brought out more than 100,000 Sichuan troops from Sichuan, plus the newly recruited soldiers and horses in the past year, and he had more than 200,000 troops in his hands.100,000 were stationed in Guanzhong, 50,000 in Hanzhong, and 50,000 in Xiangyang.But with the Huaxing army, his army of 200,000 is no different from the peasant army, and the most advanced weapon is the breech foreign gun
