When the army entered the city, Zhang Daniu, a coachman from Ziguang Vehicle Factory, was staying up late in the Andingmen area.
Seeing so many armed soldiers entering the city in the middle of the night, the well-informed old coachman immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled the empty vehicle to the city. running back, His guess was correct.
As soon as the army entered the city, they began to block the main traffic roads.
They placed a large vehicle at every intersection and sent a squad of soldiers to stand guard.
All vehicles were prohibited from passing.
A few agile soldiers even climbed up the road.
He climbed onto the telephone pole and cut the telephone wire with a click.
Zhang Daniu ran back to the Ziguang Depot in Fafa Alley, Xuanwumen without stopping, and said out of breath: "Shopkeeper, it's bad, the army has entered the city."
Bao Qing was stunned: "Impossible, isn't Marshal Wu already guarding Shanhaiguan?
How could Fengjun fight over so quickly?"
Zhang Daniu said: "Who knows?
Anyway, a large group of people came in from the north, with white cloth strips wrapped around their arms.
There are thousands of people.
Can I still coax you, the shopkeeper?"
Baoqing knew that Zhang Daniu couldn't lie, so he pondered for a moment and said: "Put the car away first, and don't rush to the streets to do business these two days.
We will wait until the wind calms down.
Prepare a big vat, load it with bricks and tiles, and block the street gate.
Buy some more flour and pickles, just in case.”
After settling things in the outer courtyard, Baoqing returned to the inner house and lay down undressed.
He stared at the ceiling and couldn't fall asleep.
Xing'er said, "What's the matter that scared you like this?"
Bao Qing said: "I don't know which group of people has entered Beijing.
Maybe things will change."
Xing'er said: "We haven't passed anything in old Beijing.
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces have come, Zhang Xun's braided soldiers have entered, and Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu have fought back and forth several times.
Aren't they all fine?
Don't worry, it won't be out until March. , quasi-peaceful.”
Bao Qing said: "That's it, even if something happens to our small family, we won't lose our heads.
I'm worried about the big Kunzi."
Xing'er jumped up and said, "What's wrong with Da Kunzi?"
Bao Qing said with a smile: "Look at how panicked you are, that's what I said.
Da Kunzi is now the governor of Jiangdong.
It's okay.
I just thought, these marshals are fighting here and there.
Who is showing off their power today?"
I can guarantee that I won’t be a prisoner tomorrow.”
Xing'er also fell into deep thought, and after a while she said: "They all chose their own paths.
Da Kunzi, Xiao Shunzi, and Guo'er all took the path they chose.
They can't blame others.
Alas, this war is in chaos.
Yes, I don’t know where Guo’er has gone, and he didn’t even come with a letter.”
Baoqing patted Xing'er on the back: "Go to sleep, the sky won't fall, don't be nagging, be careful of the baby in your belly."
The army entered the city.
It was impossible that no one would notice such a big movement.
Suddenly, a harsh phone ringing sounded in the residence of Li Yanqing, Director of the Revenue and Expenditure Department of the Presidential Palace.

The housekeeper answered the phone and asked: "Where?"
"I have an urgent military report to Director Li."
The voice on the other end of the phone was urgent.
"Sixth Master has gone to bed.
We have to wait until tomorrow to talk about big things."
The housekeeper couldn't help but put down the phone.
Within half a minute, the phone rang again.
The housekeeper picked it up impatiently and cursed: "Are you fucking drunk?
Didn't I say anything?
Mr.
Liu is already asleep?"
"Beijing City was attacked by the 11th Division."
Before he could finish his words, the call was interrupted.
The housekeeper muttered something incomprehensible and threw the phone aside.
Suddenly, there was a sound of banging on the door outside the door.
It was very urgent and arrogant.
The housekeeper was furious: "They rebelled against them."
He took a few servants to open the door, and asked angrily: "Do you know whose house this is?"
Standing outside the door were a group of soldiers holding torches, wearing gray and blue coarse cloth military uniforms, cowhide bullet belts, and red silk tied to the gun handles in a box.
They had big black faces with cold eyebrows, as if someone owed them two hundred yuan. .
"Fuck you, mother!"
A rifle butt hit the butler, causing the housekeeper's nose to bleed.
The soldiers swarmed in, broke into the bedroom and dragged Li Yanqing off the bed.
Li Yanqing turned pale with fright and kept asking: "Whose subordinates are you?
I am Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing."
"I'm going to arrest you, you bastard," an officer scolded him.
He stepped forward and slapped him seven or eight times in the mouth.
Li Yanqing's front teeth fell out and he was dripping with blood.
"Where are you hiding your embezzled military pay?"
the officer asked sternly.
Li Yanqing clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"If you drag him down and beat him, and if he doesn't explain, he will let the brothers take turns walking on his dry road."
The officer put the box gun back into the wooden case, clapped his hands and said to himself, "Three flats are not as good as one round.
If the president can walk, so can we. " In Zhongnanhai, Chen Zikun was playing cards with Cao Kun.
The quality of cards reflects the character.
Chen Zikun lost a lot that night, but he didn't even frown.
He was still talking and laughing, which Cao Kun admired even more.
"Zi Kun, after two days of rest, you go to the front line and drive Lao Zhang and his son out of the customs.
I will promote you to general.
At that time, whether you are the army chief or the patrol envoy, it is up to you."
Cao Kun was in a good mood.
After being appointed an official and making a wish, Chen Zikun smiled faintly and ignored it, but Mrs.
Yao took it seriously.
She was overjoyed and secretly glad that she had found the right son-in-law.
If she had found Oio Nishizono, he would not have been so prosperous.

As he was talking, there was a noise outside.
Cao Kun frowned and said, "How unbecoming is it for the dignified presidential guard to make a noise in the middle of the night?"
Before he finished speaking, the door was rudely kicked open, and a group of soldiers rushed in.
Chen Zikun was shocked.
He knew that these soldiers in coarse cloth uniforms were definitely not the Presidential Palace Guards.
They were probably Feng's death squads.
Entered the presidential palace.
Subconsciously, he wanted to take out a gun, but the gun and saber were temporarily confiscated when he entered the Presidential Palace.
He was unarmed.
In desperation, Chen Zikun took the teapot in his hand and was about to resist.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice shout: " Marshal Chen, please don’t move.”
After seeing this person's face clearly, Chen Zikun gave up resistance.
The leader of the team turned out to be Wang Dongliang, a coachman from the Ziguang Depot.
Now his military rank insignia indicated that he was a captain.
It seems that it was not Feng's army that attacked the Presidential Palace, but Feng Yuxiang's troops.
Chen Zikun knew the powerful combat effectiveness of the 11th Division and Feng Yuxiang's forbearance, perseverance, thoroughness, and decisiveness.
Now that the soldiers have entered the Xinhua Palace, the whole of Beijing must have Already missed.
Cao Kun shook his hands angrily: "Where are the guards?
Why did Feng Huanzhang let these guys come in?
Let him come to see me?"
Wang Dongliang inserted the box cannon back into his waist and saluted: "President, please rest assured, we are here to protect your old man."
Cao Kun said angrily: "Get out of here even if you are protecting me."
Wang Dongliang looked around the room.
They were all ladies, and there were no dangerous targets.
He bowed and said, "President, excuse me, please continue playing cards."
After that, he led the soldiers back out, but did not stay far away.
He stood guard at the door. .
Nowadays, who is still thinking about playing cards?
Cao Kun was furious and dejected.
He could imagine the consequences of Feng Yuxiang's defection.
Wu Peifu had a hard time dealing with Fengjun, but now he was stabbed in the back, and Zhijun was helpless.
The battle is definitely lost.
It's a pity that the battle in the southeastern battlefield was so beautiful.
The Zhili clique worked together to eliminate the remnants of the Anhui clique.
Just waiting for Wu Peifu to defeat Fengjun, peace in the world is just around the corner.
It's a pity, it's a pity that the success fell short and was ruined by Feng Huanzhang.
Chen Zikun thought for a while, then opened the door and went out.
Wang Dongliang immediately greeted him: "Marshal Chen, where are you going?"
"I'm going home."
"I'm sorry, Marshal, the review envoy has ordered that no one is allowed to escape from the Presidential Palace tonight."
Wang Dongliang's tone was firm.
Chen Zikun looked at him fiercely.
Wang Dongliang is no longer the dull and loyal rickshaw driver he once was.
More than a year of military career has tempered him into an iron-clad soldier.
Facing the sharp gaze, he remains unmoved: "Marshal Chen, your skills are small and clear, but There is no need for you to do this.

The inspector has an old relationship with you and will never harm you.
However, if you wander around, I cannot guarantee that other brothers will know you."
The officers and soldiers of Feng's department were loyal and disowned their relatives.
They would shoot if they asked.
Chen Zikun could do it alone.
But now that Yao Yilei and her mother-in-law were in Xinhua Palace, it would be bad if they were implicated.
"I'll go to the guest room head office."
Chen Zikun spread his hands and compromised.
"I'll escort you there."
Wang Dongliang personally accompanied Chen Zikun there.
Chen Zikun tried to trick him on the way, but he couldn't find out any information.
Entering the guest room, Yao Yilei asked nervously: "What's going on?
There are soldiers in the yard."
"Feng Yuxiang rebelled."
Chen Zikun said.
"Ah" Yao Yilei's face turned pale, "How could this happen?
What should we do?"
"It's okay.
I once gave Feng Yuxiang 50,000 yuan when he was in the most difficult time.
I must have him."
Chen Zikun couldn't believe this.
He was Wu Peifu's direct general.
If Feng wanted to deal with Wu, he would definitely eliminate himself first, let alone In the past, Cao Kun was not too kind to Feng Yuxiang, but now he is against him.
Fifty thousand yuan is nothing.
He didn't sleep a wink all night, and finally waited till dawn.
Wang Dongliang opened the door and came in, saluting: "Marshal Chen, the inspecting envoy invites you to go to Beiyuan Barracks to reminisce about the past."
Chen Zikun said calmly: "Let me take my wife back home first."
Wang Dongliang hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."
A group of fully armed officers and soldiers from the Feng Department escorted Chen Zikun and others out of the Xinhua Palace.
At this time, the street had changed.
Notices of peace of mind were posted everywhere, and there were many sentries.
White cloth strips were wrapped around their arms for identification.
If you look closely, you can see that There are words: "Swear to save the country, do not disturb the people, and truly love the people."
Chen Zikun's residence is located in Dongwenchang Hutong not far from Xinhua Palace, but he was cautious and did not go there.
Instead, he drove back to Yao Mansion on Chang'an Street.
After putting Yao Yilei and her daughter down, he smiled and said: " I'll go catch up with my old friends, and you can just wait at home."
Yao Yilei burst into tears: "Don't go, it's too dangerous."
Chen Zikun patted her hand and whispered: "Go to Jian Bing, you two."
Then he said loudly: "It's okay, the review envoy and I are old friends."
Saying goodbye to Yao Yilei, Chen Zikun got into the car without hesitation and went all the way to Beiyuan Barracks.
The place was heavily guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
Groups of soldiers could be seen everywhere.
It seemed that Feng Yuxiang's main force had already left the Gubeikou defense line.
Withdrew to Beijing.
Chen Zikun was taken to an empty office room.

After a while, another person was sent in.
He was in his fifties, well-dressed, and looked sad.
"Governor Cao."
Chen Zikun stood up and saluted.
He recognized the old man as Cao Rui, President Cao's younger brother and former governor of Zhili Province.
Cao Rui looked at him dully, with tears in his eyes, and said to himself: "Third brother, I'm going to take the first step."
He fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and kept twitching and twitching. , excruciating pain.
Several soldiers rushed in after hearing the sound and carried him out.
Chen Zikun looked through the window and saw the military doctor checking Cao Rui's pulse and pupils and shaking his head.
The president's brother died in the military camp without any explanation
