************************************************** **********************

Shandong Wuwei's former army crashed under the city of Nanjing last year. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xun saw that he could not occupy Nanjing by force, so he immediately turned the wind and issued a command to accept the order of zhong yang, resolutely not to conflict with friendly troops, and led the army quickly Turning to the banner of countering the rebellion in Anhui, this barely kept his own strength.Then, in Anhui, Zhang Xun's department did nothing, and did not exchange fire with the Revolutionary Party rebels until the end of the counter-insurgency. The typical work did not work hard. After the second revolution, Zhang Xun in Anhui received a letter from the Army Department (The current Ministry of National Defense) After the order to go west to encircle and suppress Bai Lang, he dawdled for many days, and even the lion opened his mouth to ask Zhong Yang for food, salary, and serial number by using the pretext of the encirclement and suppression. President Yuan Da was very angry.

After Zhong Yang canceled the order to transfer Zhang Xun's department to suppress the bandits, Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and others immediately ordered Zhang Xun to withdraw from Anhui and return to the original place to garrison.Although the Shandong Wuwei Army lost a lot after the battle with the Eighth Division, Zhang Xun burned, killed and looted all the way from Shandong to Anhui. This man was not idle, and in addition to continuing to scrape the ground, he also added a lot of soldiers to the army in the form of strong men. When Zhang Xun sent his army back to Shandong, his military guards returned to their original state like blowing up balloons. The number of people, although the overall combat effectiveness has dropped a lot, but on the surface it is still the overlord.

For Zhang Xun, Fang Zida has never had much affection, not to mention the fact that his Wuwei Army is called the Braided Army, Fang Zida can't tolerate him.Moreover, the "restoration of Zhang Xun" is well-known in history, and this kind of warlord who turned back the clock on history must be resolved first, so as to eliminate future worries.

As for Zhang Xun's current station - Shandong, Fang Zida is determined to get it. For Shandong, he is most concerned about Qingdao.If history is correct, in just over a month, that is, on July 7 this year, the World War will break out. Qingdao is now a German concession. Fu proposed to return Qingdao.It is better to act first, and then to suffer disaster. If due to some reasons, Qingdao cannot be taken back quickly and it falls into the hands of Japan himself, Fang Zida will never forgive himself.

If you want to take back Qingdao at the least cost, grasping the situation in Shandong is the key prerequisite.And if you want to master Shandong, Zhang Xun's Shandong Wuwei Army is the key.As for Tian Zhongyu's patrol battalion, for Fang Zida, it was basically a grass and a rabbit, without any delay.

Of course, according to the habits of the Republic of China, it is absolutely impossible for Fang Zida to yell and tell the world that he is going to annex Shandong. Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu, if you are sensible, hand over your troops and go to the field quickly. Just bring soldiers to beat you with such words.Necessary procedures still have to be followed, and some high profile still has to be put on. This is the so-called "righteous name" among the people.

For Zhang Xun, neither Yuan Shikai nor Song Jiaoren had a good impression of him, not to mention that the construction of the National Defense Forces was a bill passed by the National Congress. When the proposal was made, everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know Fang Zida's "ulterior motives", and walked through the procedures between the presidential palace, the prime minister's office, and the Ministry of National Defense like a big deal, and quickly approved Fang Zida's proposal. Directly ordered by the Ministry of National Defense, the armed guards and patrol battalions were included in the reorganization plan of the National Defense Forces, and Fang Zida was handed over to implement the specific work.

On June 6th, the Sarajevo incident occurred, and the fuse of World War I was officially ignited. On June 28th, Fang Zida in Nanjing officially received an order from the Ministry of National Defense. He Tian Zhongyu ordered them to come to Nanjing for a meeting within five days to discuss the reorganization of the National Defense Forces.

"Brother Zhang Ming, will Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu really come to Nanjing?" Huang Kaiyuan asked with a strange expression.

"Come? It's no wonder they dare to come!" Wu Peifu laughed from the sidelines. Who are Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu?Where would it be easy to get caught?It is of course impossible to call them into the net with a single order.What is Fang Zida's intention in doing this, Wu Peifu is very clear in his heart, everyone is just playing superficial articles, deceiving the world and himself along the way.

According to Wu Peifu's guess, it is estimated that Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu will call Fang Zida back in a few days, finding many excuses not to come to Nanjing.Wu Peifu is very clear about the mentality of these guys, not to mention Fang Zida, the instigator who manipulated all this.

"I think so too..." Huang Kaiyuan nodded, but frowned and asked, "What if they don't come? Can we just let it go?"

"Huh! It would be better if they don't come!" Wu Peifu snorted coldly, with a murderous look in his eyes: "If you dare to resist Zhong Yang's order, the consequences will be borne by them! Just right, you can use their heads to try our first Is the Eighth Master's knife fast enough?"

"Ziyu, be careful!" Wang Xiaozhen interjected, "No matter how powerful the military guards and patrol battalion are, the best way to deal with this matter peacefully is to use swords and guns is the worst policy."

"Brother Yong, it's good to be cautious, but do you think people like Zhang Xun can make sense?" Wu Peifu asked with a sneer.

Wang Xiaozhen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

Fang Zida raised his hand to stop their debate, and said: "How to deal with this matter, my Eighth Division must be prepared. If Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu can understand the overall situation, it is the best to come to Nanjing to cooperate with the National Defense Force's reorganization." Well, if they want to go their own way and still want to be a warlord's separatist region, ignoring the orders of the central yang, hehe, then don't blame us."

Looking around, Fang Zida suddenly shouted loudly: "I order! The whole division of the Eighth Division will enter the battle preparations immediately. Except for Xiong Shihui's 31st regiment, the rest of the brigades and regiments are ready to march north at any time. Chief of Staff Wu Peifu is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and deputy division commander. Wang Xiaozhen is the deputy commander-in-chief, and division commander Huang Kaiyuan sits in Nanjing to coordinate the overall logistics and logistics commander."

"Yes!"

Fang Zida gave an order, everyone stood up at the same time and responded loudly.It stands to reason that Wu Peifu, the chief of staff, served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Wang Xiaozhen was the deputy, and the division commander Huang Kaiyuan stayed in Nanjing only to be in charge of logistics. This arrangement is not appropriate on the surface.But whether it is Huang Kaiyuan or Wang Xiaozhen, they all know how much they can do, and it is all thanks to Fang Zida's promotion that they can get to where they are today.Compared with Wu Peifu, their personalities are more suitable for civilian and auxiliary work rather than leading troops to fight in person.What's more, Fang Zida has always said one thing in the Eighth Division. Now that the boss has made an arrangement, Huang Kaiyuan and others will never object.

Without waiting for Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu's reaction, the Eighth Division made intensive preparations.As expected, after the order from Shandong was passed, there was no news for several days, until the fifth day, which was the last day of the order, first Zhang Xun sent a telegram saying that he was in favor of the reorganization of the National Defense Forces. As soon as the order from the Ministry and Fang Zida arrived, he was ready to come down to the south for a meeting, but unfortunately, on the way to the station, the horse he was riding stumbled and fell, and now he is bedridden with a broken thigh, which is really regrettable .I hope the Ministry of National Defense and Fang Zida can understand. After a few months, his injured leg will gradually recover, and then he will definitely come to Nanjing to make amends.

Similar to Zhang Xun’s reason for breaking his leg was the telegram from Tian Zhongyu. The excuse Tian Zhongyu made was that he had an eye disease and could not see people now. Let's arrange again.

"Hehe, what a coincidence!" Flipping through the two telegrams, Fang Zida laughed happily. Such a clumsy reason is really high on them.

"Okay, since the two marshals are bedridden, Ziyu, you and I will bother you and go to visit by yourself?"

"Brother Zhang Ming said exactly that, bringing more gifts to visit them also shows the sincerity of our Eighth Division." Wu Peifu joked on the side, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

In the third year of the Republic of China, on July 1914, 7, Wu Peifu served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. He led the Eighth Division, the First Brigade and the Second Regiment with nearly 6 people and marched northward along the railway line, followed by the troops of the deputy commander-in-chief Wang Xiaozhen In addition to the 31st Regiment and some members of the 5000th Division headquarters who stayed in Nanjing and Shanghai, the [-]th Division headed north to Shandong had a total strength of [-]. Such a large-scale military operation immediately attracted great attention at home and abroad.
