    After autumn, the heat in the north is still unbearable. According to the Gregorian calendar, this is only the beginning of August. At this time, the weather in China is generally high-temperature from south to north.  It will be cooler when there is a typhoon in the south, while the nights in the north will be relatively comfortable.  But it still can¡¯t stop the heat.  Compared with other governors in various places, Qi Xieyuan showed an excited state. The reason why there has been no large-scale chaotic war in the south for many years is mostly thanks to the "Five Southeast Provinces Treaty" signed by Li Chun, Chen Guangyuan, Lu Yongxiang and others.  , which is a peace treaty.  These five provinces include: Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui.  At that time, Qi Xieyuan was also one of the participants. Unexpectedly, after signing this treaty, he was out of the game.  ?Perhaps some people don¡¯t believe that a warlord would sign a peace treaty?  Isn¡¯t this nonsense?  But this is indeed the case. The South¡¯s ability to remain peaceful for so many years is really due to this treaty that no one abides by.  The main reason why no one complies is because the local governors can't help but expand to surrounding areas.  Li Houji is like this.  The same is true for Chen Guangyuan.  But why didn¡¯t it lead to a regional melee in the end?  Of course, many reasons are that both Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, and Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, are among the lowest in power among the five provinces.  It¡¯s a bit sad to say it, but it¡¯s true.  The most powerful ones are Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang Army and Ni Sichong's Anwu Army, which is the local army of Anhui. This army has maintained a size of about 80,000 for many years. For a long time, it was the largest army along the Yangtze River.  army.  However, Ni Sichong was old and spent most of his time training in Yanjing, Tianjin and other places, and the Ni family had no descendants who could take charge of their own affairs, so they gave up their position as the overlord of the five southeastern provinces.  Before Wang Xueqian, the five southeastern provinces were basically about the same strength.  Except for Zhejiang and Jiangsu, Fujian and Jiangxi must be prepared for the northward advance of the "Kuomintang".  However, Chen Guangyuan's life in Jiangxi was not easy. According to history, he should have been dismissed long ago.  The reason is naturally the unfavorable battle with Chen Jiongming, but now, although his position in Jiangxi is not secure.  Wang Xueqian¡¯s rise was indeed suppressed by the joint efforts of Chen Guangyuan and Li Houji, but they could not be suppressed.  In the following years, the war situation in the north has always existed in a very delicate situation.  The Zhejiang Army¡¯s dominance has only happened in the past year.  Even Wang Xueqian had no intention of breaking the original five-province treaty.  However, in some respects, Wang Xueqian has indeed touched the bottom line of the treaty, that is, he annexed Fujian.  This is a matter of people not being held accountable by officials. Of course, the people here are not ordinary people, but the governors of the southeast.  At this time, Qi Xieyuan, who had no idea whether he was alive or dead, jumped out and used a high-power radio that he bought from nowhere to talk all day long, talking about this and scolding that.  Whether it was to refresh the sense of presence when the situation was chaotic, or whether it was deliberate revenge, it is unknown.  From Li Qi Xieyuan¡¯s point of view, he and Wang Xueqian have a grudge.  The most recent time, Wang Xueqian almost joined forces with Lu Yongxiang to deal with him. Thinking about it makes me shudder. If he really faced these two people, how much chance would he have of winning?  Don't think that Wu Peifu assigned him the elite Third Division belonging to Beiyang, but the problem is that he can't command this unit at all. He is an uncle, so he must respect it and not let others tire him out.  Perhaps because he knew that the Zhejiang Army would not come to Shandong, Qi Xieyuan became more courageous and began to increase the hatred value.  Logically speaking, Wang Xueqian destroyed the military stability in the southeast. Next, all the generals should attack together and capture the Zhejiang army.  But the problem is, even if Lu Yongxiang, who has already started to have a rift with the Zhejiang Army, wants to whip him, there is no commander who would not scold Qi Xieyuan for jumping out to stir up trouble.  Because only each family knows its own affairs best.  Lu Yongxiang had no intention of competing and could not afford a tough battle with the Zhejiang Army.  Chen Guangyuan was guarding his subordinate Fang Bunren, the newly appointed garrison envoy of southern Jiangxi, but he was directly responsible to Yanjing, skipping the governor Chen Guangyuan.  His subordinates did not have to listen to him at all, but directly obeyed the command of Yanjing. This reduced Chen Guangyuan's military power.  It means that Chen Guangyuan's greatest military strength in southern Jiangxi is no longer in his hands. Even if he has the intention to fight, how can he fight without soldiers?  Sun Chuanfang's heart was even darker. He could only send troops and supplies from the Yangtze River. The Zhejiang army could keep the British fleet, not to mention his several broken ships. Wouldn't it be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth?  Maybe it¡¯s retribution.  Maybe someone wants to deal with him.    Qi Xieyuan was really unlucky. The Japanese agent he was in contact with suddenly disappeared, and the people around him disappeared one after another, which irritated his nerves.  However, Qi Xieyuan is not without some strength. The Sixth Division of his old army is completely under his command. But after Wu Peifu transferred the artillery regiment of the Sixth Division, the cavalry regiment and a brigade, his identity as the commander of the Sixth Division also changed.  Already exist in name only.  Li Yue, Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division.  Seeing that this elite Beiyang army from the Yuan Shikai period was in dilapidated state, I felt anxious. After arriving in Shandong, I recruited new soldiers from Jining, Yanzhou and other places and added two infantry regiments. It can be seen that the posture has lost its elite strength.  Instead of being confident, they were reduced to mere local troops.  The troops are also insufficient, and only one regiment is stationed in Jinan City.  However, this group is no longer the main group with more than 2,800 people when it was full.  The new army needed to mobilize veterans and establish the skeleton of the army. The two regiments Wu Peifu left to Qi Xieyuan to support the facade were also dismantled by him, thinking of expanding them in two years. Currently, the two regiments only have more than a thousand troops.  It is indeed not easy to use more than a thousand people to search a city of hundreds of thousands of people.  Jinan City is in a state of panic and panic, but there is still no trace of the other party, not even the missing person.  Li Yue couldn't help but think, could the other party be a deceiver?  "Catch a few people, then go into the dark room and look for them.  The city defense camp and the troops stationed in Jinan City really couldn't be found for a while.  Here, after a busy day, Li Yue came to the Marshal's Mansion. Qi Xieyuan, with all the worries on his head, began to vent his hysterics: "If Wu Peifu hadn't transferred all the elites of the Sixth Division, would I still have to swallow my anger?  ?" Li Yuexin said: "It's really not necessary. Not only is it not necessary, but it can also compete with the surrounding forces. With the third division and the sixth division, there are two complete main divisions. Even if it is not complete, there is still a battle.  Lu Yongxiang's fifth division and two local divisions are really not enough for Qi Xieyuan. "But it can't be said that Wu Peifu's distrust of Qi Xieyuan is obvious.  Li Chun's death was unclear, and Qi Xieyuan, the person who gained the most benefit, was the most suspected.  If it weren't for such a scandal, which no one had the nerve to publicize, it would have been doomed for Qi Xieyuan to be kicked out of the military.  It was also his destiny that Wu Peifu chose to remain silent after the final weighing.  But the trust between both parties has hit rock bottom.  Wu Peifu wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well if he didn¡¯t watch out for Qi Xieyuan.  "Commander, I don't think something is right!" Li Yue took the time to insert his own thoughts during the break between Qi Xieyuan's explosive complaints.  "What's wrong? This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy!" Qi Xieyuan felt that he was going crazy. He had finally accumulated a good situation, but was hit by a sudden sap and was unable to fight back. This made him very annoyed, but he didn't know  Who is going to spread this fire?  The vein on Li Yue's forehead twitched. Qi Xieyuan couldn't listen to the advice at this time, but as a subordinate and confidant, he still had to say: "Commander, could it be that the other party's target is not the city at all, but  "Outside the city? Those unfamiliar white-eyed wolves in the fifth division?" Qi Xieyuan snorted angrily.  Li Yue is a little surprised. Qi Xieyuan is a little strange today. He seems to be a lot more normal. You must know that this person is a master who doesn't care when he is furious.  Maybe he couldn't even find the person behind the trouble, and he felt aggrieved that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he became more responsive?  If Qi Xieyuan knew that his subordinates thought of him like this, he would definitely be angry. I was forced to do so.  Seeing Qi Xieyuan staring at him, Li Yue came back to reality from his wild thoughts: "It's not the fifth division." "Do you know who your opponent is?" Qi Xieyuan said in surprise, even he doesn't know!  Li Yuexin said: "Can we still have a good chat? If I knew, would I not tell you?" But who made Qi Xieyuan the boss?  Even if Li Yue suffered a huge injustice, he could only swallow it in his stomach. He still had to patiently explain to Qi Xieyuan: "The Fifth Division caused such a big incident back then. No one said anything about it at the time, but the second  You have seen what happened to the Fifth Division in the next few years. The troops that were transferred twice were able to form a new division. They were suddenly reduced from an elite main division to a local army, which shows that no one above would believe the Fifth Division.  "Fifth Division." After a pause, Li Yue saw that Qi Xieyuan had no intention of speaking, and then started to analyze: "Even if the Fifth Division wants to cause trouble, it must be targeted correctly. The system of allocating arms during the war has been blocked.  If the Fifth Division wants to cause trouble, the first step they need to take is not to enter the city, but to enter the arsenal outside the city.  ??? was temporarily suppressed.  Li Yue said: "Although the Fifth Division is no longer as majestic as it was in the past, it still has 7,000 people. It is an army that has been training consistently, not a ragtag group. For the Fifth Division, the only choice for the commander Zheng Shiqi is to mutiny.  , but our people in the Fifth Division have not sent any news that the Fifth Division has behaved abnormally recently. It is unlikely that there will be a mutiny, so it is very likely that a third force is involved" "  The third one?" Qi Xieyuan touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, thinking: Jinan City is getting more and more lively!  " Today's Qi Xieyuan, his identity is actually very embarrassing. Wu Peifu, who controls the Zhili army, does not believe him, and the military governor in the south is even more hostile to him. Caught between the two forces, he wants to develop, but there is no chance. " Back then  When Li Chun died suddenly, his various assets were as high as 20 million. Of course, a large part of the money was military expenses deposited in Citibank. As the host of the funeral committee, he returned more than 2 million in assets to the Li family.  . The remaining money was kept. It would not be difficult for him to train tens of thousands of horses with this huge sum of money, but he had to give most of the money to the Cao family in exchange for Cao Kun's appointment.  Later, he wanted to expand the army, but he lost Jiangsu, the richest tax source in the Republic of China. When he came to Shandong, which had poor tax sources and rampant banditry, it would be even more difficult to expand the army. If the Japanese hadn't come to take advantage of him this time, he would have been even more difficult.  He didn't even have the equipment to expand the Sixth Division. After finally saving this batch of weapons, he will start to expand the army after recruiting new soldiers in Yanzhou. He will surely be able to return to a strong army soon.  When Li Yue mentioned the arsenal, he suddenly became alert: "Do you think their target is the arsenal?  "    "possible!  "Li Yue also thought of this possibility. It was one thing to think about it, but then he realized that this was Qi Xieyuan's 'lifeblood' and he couldn't let it go. However, he was frightened to death by his own thoughts: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?  !  " "No, let the first battalion leave the city immediately.  " Qi Xieyuan is also a veteran who has led troops for many years, and the blind method of attacking in the east and attacking in the west cannot deceive him for too long. But when he thought about spreading out the few troops in his hand, he found that he could not make such a decision: "No, if this is the case  , Jinan City was empty.  " Li Yue also thought of this step and did not suggest that Qi Xieyuan send troops to increase the number of guards in the arsenal. The two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. At this moment, a sudden explosion sounded like rolling thunder, and even Jinan City was  There was an illusion of shaking in the explosion. At this time, even Qi Xieyuan's face turned sallow, and he shouted in panic: "Where did the explosion happen?  " Different from the explosion of artillery shells, this is obviously the shock of the explosion of explosives. Qi Xieyuan still knows this clearly. Li Yue, whose face was pale, said with trembling lips: "It seems to be Nancheng" "Nancheng?  impossible.  "Qi Xieyuan can only mean to escape from reality. He also knows what is in Nancheng. The arsenal not far from the railway is in Nancheng. If this arsenal on which he has placed great hope explodes, it will not be the same for him.  It just cut off the hope of rising. He murmured: "Impossible, impossible" "Inform the guards and leave the city immediately.  " "Commander, you can't go out at this time.  "The situation outside the city is unclear, and no one knows what happened. The guard consists of about a hundred people. If they really face an ambush, even Qi Xieyuan will be in danger. But Qi Xieyuan's reaction was extremely fierce, and he rarely treated his subordinates.  Out of temper, he just picked up his command knife, waved his hand, pushed Li Yue staggering, and roared: "Get out of the way!  "(To be continued.) : Visit the website
