Chapter 363 Still Got It
With the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang basically over, Lin Hongfei planned to concentrate on dealing with Ma Lianjia, Qi Xieyuan and others, trying to find a way to expel them from the Shanghai stock market.
This loose alliance that was once formed to deal with Lu Yongxiang, now after losing Lu Yongxiang, immediately fell apart and began to calculate independently.
However, at this moment, Sun Tie, who was far away in Zhili, sent a message:
"Feng Huanzhang mutinied, Cao Zhongsan, Cao Rui and others were all imprisoned, and Li Yanqing was shot!"
"Ok?"
When Lin Hongfei saw this news, he was stunned!
"How did you do it?"
"I clearly sent a secret letter to Yushuai, telling him to be careful, why did something happen?"
Lin Hongfei did send a messenger to Wu Ziyu to send a secret letter, and Wu Ziyu did receive it.
Wu Ziyu attached great importance to Lin Hongfei's secret letter. After all, if Feng Huanzhang and others suddenly mutinied in the capital while he was fighting against the Feng army on the front line, he would immediately fall into a state of being attacked by the enemy.
At that time, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, he will not escape defeat.
Especially this time Wu Ziyu brought all the elites under his command. If these elites were wiped out, he would immediately lose the capital to make a comeback.
In the previous Zhifeng War, although the Fengjun suffered a lot, the elite troops led by the Fengjun Marshal did not suffer losses.
Therefore, after returning to the outside of the customs, Feng Jun can rely on these elites to regroup.
However, when Wu Ziyu met Cao Zhongsan and wanted him to order Feng Huanzhang and others to be called to the commander's mansion, and then arrest them all, Cao Zhongsan refused.
In his words, the imminent battle and the arrest of generals, especially generals like Feng Huanzhang, who are highly motivated by the army, will shake the morale of the army and lead to disadvantages in the war.
Regarding Cao Zhongsan's attitude, even if Wu Ziyu took out the secret letter, he could not change Cao Zhongsan's mind.
This is not because Cao Zhongsan trusted Feng Huanzhang and others very much, but mainly because this secret letter was sent from Lin Hongfei.
And Feng Huanzhang is one of the few generals in the direct lineage who has a certain combat effectiveness and is at odds with Wu Ziyu.
Therefore, Cao Zhongsan worried that this secret letter was a trick played by Lin Hongfei, and took the opportunity to get rid of Feng Huanzhang and others on the grounds that they wanted to go to war.
In this way, there will be no generals within the direct lineage who dare to confront Wu Ziyu and Lin Hongfei head-on.
This is an absolutely unacceptable result for Cao Zhongsan, the immediate leader!
Therefore, Wu Ziyu's proposal was rejected by him.
In desperation, Wu Ziyu once again proposed to let some of the elite under his command stay in the capital to strengthen the defense of the capital.
At the same time, let Feng Huanzhang lead his troops to the front line of Shanhaiguan or return to his own territory to garrison in advance.
As long as Feng Huanzhang is kept away from the capital, it will be difficult for him to threaten the core members of the direct line.
It stands to reason that this suggestion is also better.
But Cao Zhongsan only agreed halfway. He only agreed to let Feng Huanzhang and others return to the northwest with his troops, but he rejected Wu Ziyu's idea of leaving some elites in the capital.
The elite troops under Wu Ziyu's command did not directly obey Cao Zhongsan's orders, and he did not want to have an armed force stationed beside him that did not obey his orders.
Coupled with the fierce offensive of Fengjun on the front line, he hoped that Wu Ziyu could bring all the elites to resist Fengjun's attack.
As a result, Wu Ziyu could only repeatedly urge Cao Zhongsan, Cao Rui and other high-ranking officials to strengthen their defenses, while he led his troops to the front line worriedly.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Feng Huanzhang, who had originally returned to the northwest with his troops, quickly changed the direction of his march, arrived in the capital overnight and launched a mutiny!
Just overnight, Feng Huanzhang's Northwest Army took over the defense of the entire capital, and at the same time arrested and imprisoned a large number of direct middle and high-level officers.
When Cao Zhongsan learned about this, he was still resting on the bed.
Facing the soldiers of the Northwest Army who broke into the house, Cao Zhongsan was angry first, then laughed, and then his face was ashamed:
"Hehehe!"
"If I don't listen to Ziyu's words, I should be defeated today!"
Immediately, Cao Zhongsan's mansion was blocked by soldiers of the Northwest Army, and no one was allowed to come out.
However, compared to Cao Zhongsan and others who were only imprisoned, Li Yanqing's treatment was miserable.
When Li Yanqing was the deputy supervisor of military supplies, he always liked to take the opportunity to extort bribes and withhold military pay.
And it just happened that Feng Huanzhang had a tough temper, and he refused to give Li Yanqing any gifts, so that the Northwest Army was owed a lot of military pay in the end.
In the most difficult time, even Feng Huanzhang himself ate like ordinary soldiers.
It can be said that the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army hated Li Yanqing to the core!
Therefore, on the night of the mutiny, soldiers of the Northwest Army rushed into Li Yanqing's mansion like tigers and wolves, and when they kicked open the door of Li Yanqing's bedroom, he was having a good time with his two concubines.
"who!"
Li Yanqing was furious, and before he could swear, the rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the Northwest Army made him shut up.
"You, what are you going to do?" Li Yanqing asked tremblingly.
"Li Yanqing, you usually withhold our brothers' military pay, but today you should pay us back even the principal with interest!"
After finishing speaking, the soldiers of the Northwest Army couldn't help but dragged Li Yanqing outside, put him on a truck, and drove towards the barracks of the Northwest Army.
Along the way, Li Yanqing begged bitterly:
"Everyone, I, Li Yanqing, used to feel sorry for everyone."
"My lord, you don't remember the faults of villains, please forgive me this time!"
"My family has money, a lot of money!"
"As long as you guys let me go, I can take all the money out."
However, the soldiers of the Northwest Army ignored him and took him to the barracks. Then at dawn, they shot him dead in front of all the officers and soldiers.
Sun Tie heard that Li Yanqing was dragged to the execution ground, his legs were so trembling that he couldn't even walk.
After Lin Hongfei learned of this, he immediately yelled that it was not good!
The mutiny launched by Feng Huanzhang and others is bound to make Wu Ziyu on the front line retreat to the capital urgently.
In this way, Feng Jun will be able to counterattack wantonly!
Under attack from both sides, how could Wu Ziyu be undefeated!
"damn it!"
"Old man Cao is also confused!"
"Such important information has been told to you."
"He even made such a ridiculous move!"
Lin Hongfei is very angry now.
If Wu Ziyu collapses, then the Zhili area will be occupied by the Feng army.
At that time, the main force of the Feng army can go directly south to attack Henan.
In Yu Province, I only have a garrison of more than 8000 people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the main force of the Feng army.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Hongfei couldn't stay in the Shanghai stock market for a long time.
After appointing Guo Lang as the envoy of the Songhu Army Guard, and leaving behind [-] elite Shanling Army troops and four gunboats, Lin Hongfei led the remaining Shanling Army troops back to Fangyu Province immediately.
