Lao Yuan quickly summoned the envoys from several countries and had a long secret conversation with them in his study, and then his face became full of joy.
"Go, move the troops from the remaining towns to the vicinity of the capital, and ask them to block Nie Li for five days. After five days, the envoys from several countries will support us with weapons and equipment to ensure that Nie Li's tens of thousands of people can't come back."
Lao Yuan spoke with great enthusiasm, but the secretary hesitated.
He asked hesitantly: "President, Nie Li only sent about 40,000 troops, but he still has 40,000 to 50,000 people in the three provinces and Dongshan. We can stop the first wave, but we cannot stop the second wave. "
Karma!
Old Yuan Ma is gone.
Furious: "Who, who! Who gave him so many organizations? Where did he get so many people!"
The secretary shrank his head: "You gave me several divisions! You also gave me the title of the People's Army of the Three Provinces. It is said that the People's Army of the Three Provinces has expanded to five or six divisions."
"Also, for those people Nie Li sent to participate in the world war, didn't you give them a National Defense Army establishment?"
Lao Yuan was stunned.
"What happened to the National Protectorate?"
The secretary said helplessly: "The first batch to set off is called the First Army of the National Defense Army, and there may be the Second Army and the Third Army behind it! In general, although we don't have this information yet, but in the future Uncle, uh, it should be Nie Li’s shameless energy, and he will definitely expand his army.”
"Based on this, Nie Li has at least 100,000 men. If they all have this kind of combat effectiveness, even if we have the support of foreigners, our chances of winning don't seem to be high."
Old Yuan is numb, really numb, I regret it.
Why did you give Nie Li so much organization in the first place?
"For today's plan, I think it is better to make peace with my uncle. Recently, there are rumors circulating within our Beiyang people. My uncle still calls himself a Beiyang person. Besides, we are all a family. We fight and make people What a joke."
The secretary advised.
He really had a headache.
My uncle is fighting with my father-in-law, so it’s not good for anyone to help.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nie Li is the future successor of Beiyang, and this is the current ruler.
Nothing is right.
This is exactly Nie Li's strategy. As long as Beiyang is not forced into a corner, there will be no major events that affect the national destiny.
All struggles are internal. There can be no chaos in the north under Beiyang's control!
Only in this way can Nie Li focus his energy outside to take advantage of others.
Expand your territory.
It can be said that Lao Yuan has lured the wolf into the house.
"Bastard, bastard, you bastard is plotting against me. He is plotting against me."
Lao Yuan was furious.
Happy, angry, unfair, to name a few.
Today is the tenth day since he ascended the throne. There are many internal and external troubles.
"Send a report to Xiao Feng and ask him to come back to protect the country! Ask him, has he forgotten what I did to him before? Zhili is also his territory, how can he let Nie Li take it?"
He was rushed to the hospital due to a serious illness.
When Feng Guozhang saw the telegram, he just sighed.
Writing.
"My brother Nie Li, my brother Guozhang is unworthy of his trust, so I gave you a list of available people near Zhili. I hope that my brother will remember his hometown and not let the Zhili area suffer from war."
After writing, he said: "Send the report!"
At the same time, he also sent a call to his confidants in Zhili to cooperate with Nie Li.
Lao Yuan has come to an end. Now Lao Yuan is just struggling in the end.
With Feng Guozhang's betrayal, hope was completely lost.
Now the Fengtian clique represented by Nie Li, the Wan clique represented by Xiao Duan, the Zhili clique represented by Xiao Feng, and the largest factions in Beiyang have all turned against the enemy.
Lao Yuan was caught off guard.
More than 30,000 men and horses were mobilized to guard near the capital. As for other places, they were all abandoned.
Nie Li's army seemed to be in a deserted territory.
What's more, Xiao Feng and Xiao Duan's confidants are cooperating with his actions. It can be said that there is no obstacle.
Head straight to the capital.
More than 40,000 people rushed towards the capital.
Rehe, Zhang Dapao and others also knew that Lao Yuan was determined and did not dare to take the lead.
So does the rest.
The whole world is paying attention to this battle, this battle is definitely the destiny of the Oriental Lion.
Is it the old one that’s hotter or the new one that wins? Beijing, near Tong County.
There were trenches dug everywhere, and soldiers looked out anxiously.
Someone called me mother-in-law.
"Is the president crazy? He insists on being an emperor. Look, our boss has turned against us now. Tell us, what should we do? Are we really going to fight against our former brothers?"
"What should we do? The supervising team is right behind us. If we don't get there, we will die! Who can stop us?"
"Anyway, I'm going to shoot into the air and hit my own people, but I won't do it!"
The soldiers were very dissatisfied. After all, this was an internal matter. Can't we talk about it?
Do you have to fight to the death?
"I'm just saying, the Fengshan ruler is too stupid. If your own family is fighting, you have to stick to your guns and let me go in and talk to the old man behind closed doors. Maybe we can have a good deal."
"That's right, I have to lead more than 10,000 brothers to die, but I heard about it. The seventh uncle's men are powerful soldiers who can beat up a division with red hair. Isn't this nonsense!"
"Keep your voice down, it's time for those dogs from the Commander's Team to arrive again."
This is exactly what the officers and soldiers at the bottom think, they don’t want to fight!
Not willing to fight either!
Can't we talk about our own affairs?
Moreover, many people in the army are hot-blooded men, and they admire Nie Li's character very much, whether it is his uncompromising attitude towards foreigners or his fatness to beat the weaklings.
That's all just to boost your morale.
I’ve never heard of my uncle being cowardly!
Such people, in the eyes of a group of low-level soldiers, are qualified leaders.
As for Lao Yuan, he may have had a glorious past, but at this moment, Lao Yuan is really old.
When you get old, give up your position!
This is the simple thinking of the soldiers. Their thinking does not rise to the point of who can't be the emperor or who can be the emperor.
They haven't thought that far yet.
They just think this is a collision between the old and the new in Beiyang, and that this is a new generation competing for the position of Beiyang's boss.
The older generation doesn’t let go.
It's that simple.
Therefore, I am not willing to work hard at all.
Of course Lao Yuan also knew these thoughts, so he had the supervising team.
But, is the Supervisory Team really useful?
Looking at the burly men in the supervising team, all of them are at least 1.7 meters tall, it can really scare a lot of people.
However, the human heart is the scariest thing.
Only half a day.
Nie Li's troops arrived outside Tongxian City.
It’s not too fast to get from Jinmen to the suburbs of Beijing.
Whatever the Eight-Power Allied Forces' march route was, that was his route.
When Lao Yuan's men looked at the cannon barrels that were bigger than their heads, they were all dumbfounded.
Nie Li shouted towards the trench: "Brothers, I am Nie Li. I want to talk to my father. Brothers, can anyone send a message?"
These words made me even more determined. Isn't this just a quarrel between the two fathers? They still call me daddy when I can't see them.
