Chapter 11 Annexation of Su County

The goods sent from Shanghai were the guns and cannons requested by Dengsen, three 88mm field cannons, one 120mm howitzer, plus captured artillery, and the previous artillery battalion had a total of twenty-four artillery pieces, including one heavy artillery piece, one 120mm caliber, six 88mm caliber, and nineteen other small mountain cannons. The various types of ammunition in the shells were 400 rounds per artillery piece, which was enough to support Dengsen to use it for a period of time in battles without artillery battles.

Dengsen lost two or three thousand soldiers because of fighting the Revolutionary Party. The First Brigade was almost destroyed by a regiment's strength. In the past two days, Dengsen expanded another brigade in order to rule the occupied area. Yuan Lu, the former commander of the Mechanical Regiment, served as the brigade commander, and Tian Shi, the cousin of Tian Dingyuan, took over as the regiment commander. Tian Shi, who was about 1.73 meters tall and had been to high school. After hearing that Tian Ding was here, he defected to Dengsen to gain a future. Dengsen saw that he was also talented and worked hard in the training of recruits, giving Tian Ding a face and allowing him to be promoted to the commander of the Mechanical Regiment. Although it was a bit unfair to others, Dengsen prefers to train knowledgeable officers.

Let’s talk about the current situation of Dengsen’s troops. Li Fang, the commander of the First Brigade, has three regiments under his jurisdiction, each with a total of about 2,500 to 3,000 people. The commander of the Second Brigade is led by Tian Ding, and the three regiments under his jurisdiction are about 2,500 to 3,000 people per regiment. The third brigade is converted from a militia unit. The commander of the brigade Yuan Lu, has four B regiments under his jurisdiction, each regiment is about 2,500 people, and the guns are old.

"Immediately all the equipment and ammunition is dispatched. Three days later, I will meet an army that can go to the battlefield at any time. In addition, I will gather the first brigade and join the artillery battalion to go to Suxian. This time, Suxian must be summarized within our rule. At the same time, the Third Brigade of the North will divide two regiments to clear out the northern armed forces of Suxian to force the landing. The Second Brigade of the South will launch an attack on Sishui." With guns and cannons, Dengsen's power is expanding rapidly. His first target is Sishui, because it connects the canal and Hongze Lake, and the second target is Xiaoxian in the surrounding Suxian. These two counties are adjacent to Dengsen, and

During this period, due to publicity, it can be fully included in the sphere of influence. The third goal is Huaibei, an important town in northern Anhui. This is the key scope of Dengsen's industrialization. Unfortunately, the warlord leader Fan Lei, who had long seen the opportunity, defected to the Beiyang general Wang Zhanyuan, which made Dengsen feel a little unable to speak. Wang Zhanyuan's Beiyang Second Division under Wang Zhanyuan had more than 20,000 troops, excellent weapons and ammunition, and well-trained soldiers. Dengsen was reluctant to provoke him easily. Dengsen also planned to annex Huaibei even if he fought a battle with Wang Zhanyuan. Dengsen was most jealous of the coal iron of Huaibei. With these things, his prospects would be much better.

In less than two days, the army had assembled, and all kinds of guns and ammunition were distributed, and the artillery regiment followed him into Suxian under the guidance of trucks.

"Father! It seems that Deng Sen is determined to annex our Suxian. Otherwise, we will surrender according to what my elder sister said. In addition, we can also give Deng Sen some conditions. And I can see that his father must be Sister Chuiyan! Otherwise, why should we notify us?" Li Longhong's second son Li Qiulin is a member of the Military Preparation School. Because Deng Sen attacked Suxian, he hurried back, but after he came back, he encountered a mess. Deng Sen was eyeing him outside and was not stable inside. Since the last incident, gentry armed forces from all over the country gathered their troops desperately, threatening that Li Longhong could not stop Deng Sen and the others from resisting themselves.

"The troops of my father are definitely not his Dunson's opponents. Those revolutionary parties are not powerful in history? They are still beaten to death by him and captured thousands of prisoners. If I resist, I will definitely die without a place to bury me. But can he let me go after I hand over Suxian? Can I feel relieved?" Li Longhong has been quite sad recently. His gentry under his command have been in a dilemma with him everywhere. Many gentry even openly used swords and guns with the tax personnel he sent, which made him feel more and more powerless.

"Father, I have been there too. According to my opinion, this person has no ambitions here. His ambition is comparable to that of the president, so he will definitely accept our surrender. I will also take the opportunity to advance and lead troops. As long as there are soldiers, they will gain a foothold in his Iron Blood Party, and Dengsen will still rise and fall if he destroys my Li family." Heroes come from troubled times, and heroes are also created in troubled times. Anyone with talent can see that China is about to rise and fall in troubled times.

"But what should you do if you enter the Iron Blood Party? Do you really want your elder sister to marry him?" In addition to his second son Li Longhong's favorite is his eldest daughter, this beautiful and proud little swan has always been his pride.

"What's wrong with this? Deng Sen is at its peak now. If time goes by, it will definitely go further. If my Li family can become relatives with him, then we are the second family in the Iron Blood Party, and isn't my sister revolutionary? I think Deng Sen is much better than the revolutionary party. Anyway, I have seen the north, and it's also messy there, especially the rebellious uprisings in Henan and Hebei, but the areas under which Deng Sen masters are prosperous and stable. Do you still understand the current form? If you want to make a name for yourself in this troubled times, you must find a good backer. Deng Sen challenged Sun Yat-sen, and everyone in the subconscious also placed him in the same position as Sun Yat-sen. And I heard that he had a lot of business, and during this period, a large number of goods were from Lingbi.

It can be imagined that Lingbi's wealth is. For a stable life and his own wealth, Lingbi will support Dengsen from wealthy businessmen to ordinary people. Moreover, he has tens of thousands of troops. In addition to the Beiyang Revolutionary Party, such an army is no longer an ordinary warlord. With so many people, how can he feel at hiding in the small place of Lingbi? Expansion is his only choice. We are now a traveler. Taking the Dengsen bus may be destroyed or soaring into the sky." Li Qiuwu analyzed it very clearly that he was about to graduate from the Military Preparation School, but even if he graduated, he was just an ordinary soldier in the Beiyang Army. But if they defect to Dengsen, Dengsen, who lacks talents, would definitely be used.

"This..." Li Longhong was moved by her son's words, thinking about whether to agree to Dengson's request, and was preparing to marry her best daughter to Dengson.

"No, I don't agree. I'm not your bargaining chip, and it's impossible to marry Dunson for you." Li Lingqing, who had been eavesdropping outside, broke in furiously. He had originally had an idea of ​​surrendering to Dunson, but when he heard that his father and brother wanted to marry him as bargaining chip to exchange for wealth, his heart was like an erupting volcano.

"Sister, what's wrong with Deng Sen? I heard from Xiaoyuan that he is young, handsome, talented, and patriotic. Is it not your wish? Why do you say for us? Are you not a part of this family? Of course, I know that you are a revolutionary party, but look at what the revolutionary party is doing now? They are still attacking each other and will be wiped out one by one by one by one by one by Deng Sen." Li Qiulin was a little guilty when his sister stared at him angrily.

"Daughter, I..."

"Master, Deng Sen's men have arrived at the city, with thousands of people, so many cannons!" Just as Li Longhong was about to explain, the soldiers at the city gate ran over in panic.

It turned out that Deng Sen had already arrived at Suxian County with his men, and Deng Sen was also preparing to attack when the Li family was unwilling to surrender. Even if they lost a woman they like, they would do whatever they wanted! The beauty of the country, fish and bear paws, can only choose one of them, while Deng Sen, who embarked on the warlord path, chose the former!;
