In the afternoon, Lu Xiaojia arrived in Hangcheng. When she got off the car, she saw two guards at the gate of Lu Mansion who saluted and then said:
"Master, the commander-in-chief and Mr. Duan have been waiting for you in the living room for a long time!"
"Oh, why is he here?"
Lu Xiaojia couldn't help but look puzzled. After a moment, Si Xun led a few soldiers towards the courtyard.
"Dad, I'm back!"
"Hahaha, you brat, why are you so noisy? Come and visit your Uncle Duan!"
I saw Lu Yongxiang sitting in the hall wearing a robe, and next to the main seat was a middle-aged and elderly man who was thin, estimated to be in his fifties, with small eyes, a mustache, and a slightly crooked nose.
This person is Duan Qirui, who is known as the "Three Heroes of Beiyang" together with Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang.
Nicknamed the "Tiger of the North" and the "Six Not Prime Ministers", he served as Prime Minister of the Beiyang Government four times, Chief of Army four times, Chief of Staff once, and Head of State once.
He was the first Army Commander-in-Chief and Artillery Commander of China’s modernized army, and he also served as the General Office of Baoding Military Academy, China’s first modern military academy.
During the most glorious period of the Anhui clique from 1916 to 1920, he was the actual person in power of the Beiyang government.
However, in the Zhili-Anhui War in 1920, the Anhui army was attacked by the Zhili-Fengtian coalition. In the end, the Anhui clique was defeated, and Duan Qirui was forced to take the blame and resign and announced his resignation.
"Hello Uncle Duan!"
Duan Qirui stood up expressionlessly, and like magic, took out a gift box from behind and handed it to Lu Xiaojia, then squeezed out a smile and said:
"Xiaojia, you're already married. Your Uncle Duan didn't make it to your wedding some time ago for some reason, so you should accept this gift and treat it as your Uncle Duan's wedding gift."
"Xiaojia, thank you Uncle Duan!"
Lu Yongxiang, who was sitting on the seat, also said: "Xiaojia, Mr. Duan, you all sit down and talk!"
Lu Xiaojia sat down. The long drive made him a little thirsty. After taking a sip of tea, he asked:
"Dad, you asked me to take time to come back from the military camp at this time last month. You didn't just let me meet Uncle Duan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yongxiang and Duan Qirui looked at each other, then asked with a smile:
"Xiaojia, what do you think of the two forces, the Generalissimo's Office of Guangdong Province and Zhang Yulin of Fengjun?"
Hearing his father ask such a question, Lu Xiaojia's heart skipped a beat. He finally knew why his father had let him come back.
The Generalissimo's Office of Guangdong Province was not only the power of Mr. Sun, but also coupled with Zhang Yulin, a historical event that many people didn't know about turned out to be.
The Triangular Anti-Zhili Alliance refers to Mr. Sun's alliance with warlords such as Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui clique and Zhang Yulin of the Feng clique in order to make China truly move towards a republic, in order to fight against Cao Kun and Wu Peifa, the strongest Zhili clique warlords in China today... An alliance formed by others.
According to the plan, the alliance will be divided into three groups. Mr. Sun's Northern Expeditionary Army will be the main attacker, Zhang Yulin will enter the pass and backstab, and Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang will assist.
The three parties jointly marched into Pingjing, attacked Cao Kun and Wu Peifa, and defeated the Zhili warlords. Mr. Sun went north to Pingjing to reorganize the cabinet and move towards the republic.
The theory is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. In fact, this alliance is purely a decoration.
In his previous life, in 1924, the Yu-Huai War broke out between his father Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Huai Province of the Zhili Army.
Fengjun Zhang Yulin and the Generalissimo's Office of Guangdong Province simply watched the show and sent out a message of support.
"Dad, do you want us to join the anti-Zhili alliance of Fengjun Zhang Yulin and Mr. Sun, and then our three parties will work together to overthrow the Zhili warlords?"
