Gao Jun said: "You are not committing conspiracy and obsessive-compulsive disorder, you think you have any conspiracy theory? Guan Jian is an enemy of us. What are the benefits for Yuan Shikai?"

Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel amused and said, "This is not conspiracy and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it has my reason. Except as I said just now, Yuan Shikai, as the chief general of the Beiyang New Army, would he not know at all? Moreover, Yuan Shikai's motive is very obvious. He is now the governor of Shandong. Our goal is to occupy the entire Shandong, which has a direct conflict with Yuan Shikai. Therefore, Yuan Shikai has every reason to test our reactions like this. Moreover, in the old time and space, Yuan Shikai has always been good at engaging in such conspiracies."

After hearing Wang Sheng's words, Liu Qinglin and Gao Jun couldn't help but become serious, because logically speaking, Wang Sheng's inference makes completely sense, so Liu Qinglin said: "So what should we do?"

Wang Shengdao: "First, we still need to strengthen the garrison of Menbu Village and cannot relax our vigilance. If the Beiyang New Army's participation in the war is related to Yuan Shikai, then this time it will not work, and there will be another next time. Yuan Shikai is likely to dispatch Beiyang New Army to attack us. This is a regular army, and it adopts the modern army organization training method, which is not comparable to the mob like the landlord armed forces. If Yuan Shikai really doesn't know that this matter is indeed a personal behavior, then there is the first one and the second one, and we must not be careless."

Liu Qinglin nodded and said, "I understand. I will arrange more personnel to reconnaissance nearby. Once the existing army appears, I will immediately give a warning. However, if the Beiyang New Army comes to attack us, then this battle will be difficult. After all, our troops are too small, and the Beiyang New Army will never bring only three artillery pieces when it comes again. Although we can rely on helicopters and warriors, we may not lose, but the casualties must be very heavy."

Gao Jun said: "There are also those landlords who participated in this battle. We can't just let it go. We must fight back as soon as possible, otherwise it will only encourage the arrogance of the landlords, and at the same time, it will also affect our prestige in these villages."

Liu Qinglin said: "Then our troops are not enough, and how far is our counterattack? We will only capture all the landlords involved in the alliance, or should we take advantage of the opportunity to capture the landlords and carry out land reform on the spot?"

After hearing this, Wang Sheng felt a headache and said, "We can't decide these things. We can only report them to the Qingdao Command and the Command will decide."

Gao Jun and Liu Qinglin also nodded, so Wang Sheng immediately contacted Qingdao and reported on the battle process, the results, the situation of the prisoners, and Wang Sheng's guess. He hoped that the Qingdao Command could instruct the next action.

In the afternoon, the Land Reform Command received an order from the Qingdao Command, which would send two regiments to assist in defending the work of the Land Reform Commission, and asked them to find out the list of landlords involved in the alliance and their residence as soon as possible. They would immediately launch a full-scale attack early tomorrow morning, and at the same time, they would enter all villages to arrest landlords and related personnel participating in the alliance. Those who dare to resist could be killed on the spot, and carry out land reforms in the village on the spot. At the same time, they would send troops to occupy Gaomi County and fully control the entire territory of Gaomi County, and move the People's Army's command and the Land Reform Commission command into Gaomi County. In addition, if the Beiyang New Army invades the sphere of influence of the group or acts in a provocative manner, they should immediately give a head-on blow, don't be afraid of going to war and never be ruthless.

After reading the instructions of the Qingdao Command, Wang Sheng, Gao Jun and Liu Qinglin were not only shocked. They did not expect that the reaction of the Qingdao Command would be much more intense than they expected. It turned out that they expected that the command would order at most to enter the villages of all landlords participating in the alliance to capture and carry out land reforms. However, they did not expect that the Qingdao Command would have a much greater appetite than they thought. They wanted to swallow the entire Gaomi County in one bite, and broke the previous decision to occupy only the countryside and not the county town. In addition, they also adopted a tough attitude towards the Beiyang New Army, and even if they were willing to start a war.

Of course, the tough attitude of the upper class is a great encouragement to the lower class personnel. Therefore, after learning about this order, the people in the Land Reform Command were very excited and their morale was high.

At 5 pm, the Fourth Regiment and the Tenth Regiment arrived in Menbu Village, and a cavalry platoon was added. The Fourth Regiment is one of the six main regiments of the People's Army, and the configuration of various troops is complete, which is also the intermediate force of Qingdao's defense. The Tenth Regiment is a new regiment, which is the regiment under Liu Qinglin's battalion. Sending a main regiment to match a new regiment also shows the determination of the Qingdao Command.

In fact, after receiving the report from the Land Reform Command, Qin Zheng immediately realized that the participation of the Beiyang New Army in the war was definitely not an accident. Qin Zheng had a profound study of modern Chinese history. Of course, he knew that Yuan Shikai was a man of Yuan Shikai. Whether Yuan Shikai was a talented man in governing the country or stealing the country, he was definitely a hero in troubled times. Moreover, the Beiyang New Army has just formed a short time ago, and the army is not large. Yuan Shikai still has a strong control over the Beiyang New Army. Therefore, an army of more than 40 people left the brigade privately to help others fight. Will Yuan Shikai know nothing about this? If Yuan Datou was such a person, then in the old time and space, he would not have been able to call the wind and rain in China's political arena and once stood at the peak of power.

Although Qin Zheng is not a conspiracy theorist, he also believes that everything has a necessary connection. There is no accident. Moreover, Yuan Shikai's motive is very clear. The time travel group wants to occupy Shandong, and Yuan Shikai is the governor of Shandong. Therefore, conflicts between the two sides are almost inevitable. However, the main sphere of influence of the time travel group was the German sphere of influence it received. It has not had direct contact with Yuan Shikai yet, and they are at peace with each other. However, as the control scope of the time travel group expands, both sides will sooner or later have conflicts. In this way, the Beiyang New Army's participation in the armed attack on the landlord's landlords is actually an inevitable result.

Whether Yuan Shikai deliberately planned or pretended not to know this time, Qin Zheng believed that the latter was more likely to be, because with Yuan Shikai's talent, if he wanted to plan an action to suppress the time travel group, it would definitely be a sophisticated plan, and would never be so rough; therefore, it is very likely that Yuan Shikai deliberately pretended not to know and acquiesced to this action. This not only could test the bottom line of the virtual and real line of the time travel group, but also once the situation was under Yuan Shikai's control, he could also immediately throw out a few scapegoats to push the tank. Whether it was advancing or retreating, Yuan Shikai could be invincible.

Of course, the Time Travel Group is not afraid of being an enemy of Yuan Shikai. Although in the old time and space, the Beiyang New Army was the most powerful army in China's first two-year 20th century, it was not enough to say in the eyes of the Time Travel Group. It was not a big deal to defeat the Beiyang New Army. The only thing that made the Time Travel Group worry about was Yuan Shikai's identity. After all, he was a high-ranking official, a local official, and a magistrate of the border. Now the Time Travel Group still needs the Qing court's skin. If you kill a few landlords, occupy a few villages, or even control a few county towns, it is not a big deal. After all, with China's size and the Qing court's official system, these are not a big deal, and the Qing court would not care at all. But if you openly confront the governor of a province, it would definitely be a big deal, and for the current Time Travel Group, it is obviously a political loss.

However, this is exactly where Yuan Shikai tests the bottom line of the time-traveling group, so the time-traveling group cannot just forget it. If you show weakness like this, with Lao Yuan's personality, you will definitely become more profitable and gain more money. In the great change ten years later in the old time and space, Lao Yuan played this trick so well and completely played with the founding father in the stocks.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Zheng believes that at this time, the Time Travel Group must not show weakness and retreat, and must respond to Yuan Shikai with a tough attitude, and he is not afraid of a war. Only in this way can Yuan Shikai retreat when he encounters difficulties, and it is also the first to clear obstacles to the time Travel Group to successfully occupy the entire Shandong area. Therefore, Qin Zheng advocates mobilizing heavy troops and conquering Gaomi County.

Although the occupation of Gaomi County is contrary to the rural surround city strategy formulated by the Time Travel Group, Qin Zheng believes that the army changes with the trend, and no strategy or resolution can be copied, but should be flexibly applied and partially adjusted. Moreover, in the old time and space, the reason why the ancestors of Time Travelers adopted this strategy was mainly because their own strength was not enough to capture big cities, so they avoided the real and went to the virtual; while the Time Travel Group adopted this strategy more for expedient measures, and there was still a considerable difference between the two. Since it was a temporary measure, it was reasonable to adopt the principle of flexibility when conditions permit or the situation changed.

After many battles, the Time Travel Group must arrest and retaliate against the members participating in the Landlord Alliance and carry out land reforms on the spot. However, since the founder and organizer of the Landlord Alliance this time, Wan Yufu, the clerk of Gaomi County, lived in Gaomi County for a long time, if he did not invade Gaomi County, he would not be able to arrest Wan Yufu. In addition, Gaomi County has entered the hinterland of Shandong and occupied Gaomi County. It can not only consolidate the current control area of ​​the Time Travel Group, but also a clear signal for all the landlords and gentry in Gaomi County, so that they will not dare to be enemies with the Time Travel Group in the future, but also gain a frontier base for the Time Travel Group's next expansion in Shandong. At the same time, it is also a warning to Yuan Shikai, so that he will not misjudgment the Time Travel Group's determination.

I believe that in this way, Yuan Shikai would not dare to easily pick up the Time Travel Group. After all, Yuan Shikai is a smart person. It is impossible not to understand the strength of Time Travel Group, nor to know that even the Qing court dares to turn against Time Travel Group. Therefore, he may not have the courage to confront Time Travel Group head-on, and he may only be able to endure this breath.

Of course, Qin Zheng could not place all his hopes on what Yuan Shikai dared to do or what he dared to do, so he had to be fully prepared. If Old Yuan was so angry and had a stupid move, he had to fight a battle, then the Time Travel Group would not be polite. This battle would have to completely defeat Yuan Shikai with an overwhelming advantage, so that Old Yuan would not dare to think about other things in the future.
