Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Zuolin could see very clearly that the circle in Beiyang was a place where the weak were bullied and the hard-pressed, and people like Mi Zhenbiao who overestimated themselves were looking for death.But if you have strength, you have to show it. Just like this time, one regiment of the Independent Brigade easily wiped out more than 4000 Yijun, which means that the entire Independent Brigade can be worth [-] Yijun.

Holding the Independent Brigade and the 27th Division.Lao Zhang is equivalent to having the strength of two divisions, the first one outside the pass, and through a hearty victory, he can completely subdue those half-hearted wall-riding factions, at least after the Battle of Tongliao.Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan, the two guards, have completely turned to Zhang Zuolin.

Only Lao Zhang follows the lead, and this is the result of the battle.It's also where Lao Zhang's confidence lies.If Lao Yuan really dared to persecute him, Lao Zhang might raise the banner of protecting the Communist Party in Fengtian and let Lao Yuan suffer from the enemy.

"Yuting, internal and external troubles, we can't blindly tear ourselves apart with Yuan Shikai. You see, we should accept this order. Then let Feng Delin lead the troops into the customs. This is also an explanation to Lao Yuan, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so let Lao Feng go to the customs. Let's develop."

It was Zhang Zuoxiang who spoke.Although Zhang Zuoxiang is usually silent, he is also a very thoughtful person. In name, Lao Feng is still Lao Zhang's subordinate and a member of Fengjun. It is understandable for him to lead troops into the customs, and he can take the opportunity to get rid of an opponent. , this is a golden opportunity.

Zhang Zuolin finally showed joy on his face, but then frowned again.

"Fuchen's idea is very good, I'm afraid that Lao Feng won't obey orders."

"If he doesn't listen to the order, it's nothing to blame. At that time, we will force Feng Delin to enter the customs!" This is the reason why big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp. Lao Yuan can force Lao Zhang like this, Lao Zhang You can use the same method to cheat Lao Feng.

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, nodded, and made up his mind. In order to show that he attached importance to this matter, Lao Zhang specially asked Zhang Jinghui to go to Beizhen to deliver orders to Lao Feng.

Lao Zhang also knew in his heart that Feng Delin would not agree to enter the customs so easily, maybe Lao Feng would turn his face directly.Therefore, he gave orders to both Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang to make the troops more vigilant and ready to deal with Lao Feng's counterattack at any time.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan had almost dealt with the affairs of Tongliao, and rushed back to Fengtian with his troops. He was victorious this time, and it coincided with the New Year. For Fengjun, it can be said to be a double blessing. Greet outside.

He greatly praised the Independent Brigade: "This battle has demonstrated the prestige of our Fengjun army and our aura. Anyone who wants to move Fengtian in the future will have to touch his head. Anyone who doesn't open his eyes, Mi Zhenbiao is a lesson from the past! "

Fengtian government and business circles have sent representatives. The strength of the Fengtian army is also a blessing to them. Only by relying on a strong army can they be safe. Therefore, when they saw the majestic team of the Independent Brigade, everyone was excited.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also specially put Yijun's captives in the team. These captives were all downcast, and the team was so long that many good people counted them one by one, wanting to see how many there were, but soon Dazzled.

Anyway, everyone knows the fact that Fengjun won a hearty victory. People who had doubts about Fengjun completely shut up. If they want to hang out on Fengtian's territory, they must be honest Cooperate with Zhang Zuolin!

This is the effect that Lao Zhang hopes to achieve. A real display of force is more effective than any amount of saliva. After the lively triumphant ceremony, Zhang Tinglan finally returned home. After being busy for more than half a year, it is rare to have a quiet time.

Now the second wife Hua Futian is in charge of the Zhang family, who is less than ten years older than Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan will definitely feel a little embarrassed if she thinks of her as a young mother, but the customs of this era are like this, there is no way around it.Mrs. Hua is still good at managing the family business, and she keeps everything in order.

Zhang Tinglan was also happy to have a leisurely time. Whenever he was free, he would go to the teahouse for a while. While he was enjoying his leisure time, Lao Zhang suddenly sent someone to call him over. Zhang Jinghui came back from Beizhen.

Doufu Zhang had an unlucky face, apparently things were not going well, and he was telling Zhang Zuolin what happened.

"Yuting, I have a responsibility. Feng Delin neither agreed nor objected to sending troops. Instead, he asked Fengjun to send troops together. How many people should be sent by the 27th Division, and how many people should he send from the 28th Division? We can't just send troops from one side. .”

Listening to Zhang Jinghui's introduction, Lao Zhang also frowned.I really can't underestimate Feng Delin, he has been through countless rivers and waves, and he doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. It's really not that easy to fool him away.

"Marshal, since Master Feng said so, let's simply agree, let's send troops into the customs." Zhang Tinglan put forward her own idea.

Lao Zhang frowned and said, "I don't want to waste my military power in the pass."

Zhang Tinglan secretly laughed in his heart, because in history, it was because Lao Zhang was keen to rule the Central Plains.It was only then that the vitality of the Feng family was exhausted, and finally the Japanese were lucky enough to occupy the three eastern provinces. Now Lao Zhang obviously does not have such unrealistic ideas, and running his hometown is still the first.Although the pass is good, there is no stable rear.Don't even try to get involved.

"Marshal, why did you forget? We still have an army at hand." Zhang Tinglan reminded.A thought flashed through Lao Zhang's mind, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Zhuoyan, you are talking about the reinforcement group that Duan Zhigui brought back then."

"That's right, His Highness only took away about a thousand people, and there are still about 3000 people left. This time we captured more than 1000 Yi soldiers. In the past, there were many abolished patrol battalions and so on. We took all these people Organized, at least one brigade of soldiers can be pulled out and sent to the pass. This is not to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Feng army, but to get rid of all the burden."

Zhang Tinglan had this idea when she left the reinforcement group at the beginning. No one would be idle and have nothing to do. Raising a bunch of free food is to use them as a shield at critical times.

"In fact, it's not just these guys, there are bandits all over the Northeast. We recruited these people and sent them to the pass to let them eat and drink from Lao Yuan. This is to reduce our burden. In addition, since Lao Yuan let When we send troops to the pass, we can't just talk in plain language. Should he give us money, guns, and establishments? I don't think Lao Yuan's move is very clever. We can counter him and ask for more money. Very affordable."

After Zhang Tinglan said a few words, all the people present were dumbfounded. It is still possible to play like this, but it is really a good way to think about it.Zhang Zuoxiang only thought of dragging Feng Delin into the water, but Zhang Tinglan was better than Lan, and even Yuan Shikai was involved, which is simply too powerful.

Lao Zhang also smiled happily: "Zhuoyan's brain is flexible. If I knew it earlier, I would have asked you directly. It would save me a lot of trouble. If I haven't figured out a solution yet, then what should I do next? Zhuoyan will come up with the regulations."

"Marshal, Lao Yuan wants us to be in a dilemma. I think we can turn Yuan Shikai's army in reverse. You might as well build up momentum first, and publicize that Fengjun has dedicated himself to the emperor, and will soon send troops to the pass to help the emperor calm down. Rebellion. We can first send those bastards into the customs as the vanguard to show our sincerity. Then we will raise a little difficulty with Lao Yuan and ask him to help solve it. As for swallowing the words that come out.”

Sun Liechen nodded frequently after hearing Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, but there was still a little doubt: "Zhuoyan, if Yuan Shikai really agrees, will we still send troops to work for Yuan Shikai?"

Zhang Tinglan shook her head with a smile: "The Northeast is so chaotic, anything can be used as an excuse. And I don't think Emperor Yuan can last that long. Let's have a few rounds of tug-of-war with him. , take enough guns and oceans, and then eat and wipe them out, don’t even talk to Yuan Shikai, just wait for him to fall.”

In fact, the matter in front of us is a three-party game. The status of Lao Yuan, Lao Zhang, and Lao Feng is very different, but status is not the only factor that determines the outcome. The offensive was resolved, and then bounced back.

Immediately after discussing the specific action plan, Lao Zhang led the many generals in Fengtian and sent a telegram, to the effect that Zhang Zuolin was born in a reckless family, and he was greatly favored by His Majesty, which made him what he is today.Now that Cai E has openly rebelled against His Majesty the Emperor, the whole Fengjun will swear to defend His Majesty to the death and deal with the rebels to the end.

Lao Zhang also humbly said that as a soldier, he doesn't understand a democratic republic or a constitutional monarchy. He only knows that His Majesty the Emperor is the head of state. As a soldier, he should serve the country and be loyal to the emperor!

The core of this energization is four words: Zhien Tubao!

That's what Lao Zhang said, and he did the same. He immediately ordered the Feng army to be fully mobilized, prepare all their weapons, and intensify their drills every day, waiting for His Majesty's dispatch at any time.

Not only was the army mobilized, Lao Zhang also collected military salaries and civilian husbands everywhere, and asked the Ministry of the Army for instructions to send a liaison team to open the way for the Fengjun to enter the customs, and also asked for the route to send troops.

Zhang Zuolin's hard-working actions naturally reached Lao Yuan's ears very quickly. Yuan Shikai was also stunned. Could it be that he had been wrong about Zhang Zuolin? The sad thing is that the former subordinates didn't listen to the greetings and watched their own jokes, so a loyal minister suddenly appeared, which gave Lao Yuan a little comfort. He has not failed yet, and there are still loyal people in the world!

Chapter 158 Military Expansion License

Man is a very strange animal, no matter how shrewd a person is, he is prone to make the mistake of wishful thinking, and Yuan Shikai was like this at this time.A few months ago, the general situation of the world was still under the control of Lao Yuan, who dared not refuse to order the world.

As a result, after he proclaimed himself emperor, the hearts of the people in Beiyang were scattered, and the Yunnan Army in the Southwest launched an attack. At this stage, Lao Yuan was suffering from internal and external troubles. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated rapidly. No one in the Yuan family lived past the age of 60. This is almost a demon. The curse lingered in Yuan Shikai's heart.

The sun was setting and the dying Yuan Shikai suddenly found that there was another person holding the banner of loyalty and loyalty, and wanted to be loyal to him when all the relatives were betrayed. This gave Yuan Shikai a little comfort.All the counselors under him gathered in the Xinhua Palace, and Lao Yuan held Zhang Zuolin's power-up in his hand, his expression a little excited.

"My lords, since Cai E's rebellion, how many people in the world are waiting to see my jokes. These people have forgotten that if there is no me, can they have what they are today? Now their wings are hard and they want to stand on their own. This is unthinkable!"

Everyone knew that what Lao Yuan was talking about was Duan Qirui, but no one was silent. Lao Yuan put the telegram in his hand on the Longshu case, and said loudly, "Have you seen Zhang Yuting's telegram? It's so good. The word loyalty is the foundation of one's life. Whoever forgets loyalty will have no way to stand firm in the world. Soldiers do not interfere in politics, and the army belongs to the country. Isn't this the loudest slogan shouted by those returning from studying abroad? What happened? , the army has become their personal armed force, and the rebels who follow Cai E and his like fight against me, and they will not end well!"

The following people were a little confused when they heard what Lao Yuan said. It stands to reason that Lao Yuan is such a shrewd person, how could he praise Zhang Zuolin because of a power call? Everyone can say nice things these days, but no one I won't take it seriously.

Only Yang Shiqi, who knew Yuan Shikai's temper best, seemed to understand.Lao Yuan has been regarded as a life-saving straw by Feng Jun. He hopes that Zhang Zuolin will stand up and set an example for the swaying power faction in the world. A bandit leader can still be loyal to me. You people who are favored by Yuan Shikai, don’t you? Shouldn't you stand up?

Yang Shiqi didn't believe that the call was from Zhang Zuolin's heart, but he also saw the excited look of old Yuan Shikai. He didn't want to pour cold water on Yuan Shikai, so he could only pray silently in his heart, what Zhang Zuolin said was true.

But there is one who is a little ignorant.That is Liang Shiyi, he said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zuolin is very cunning, and this telegram is probably not his sincerity. I think that not only should he not be happy, but he should also be on strict guard. This kind of reckless person has no faith. It is common for him to go back on his word."

Liang Shiyi still wanted to continue to speak ill of Lao Zhang.Yuan Shikai waved his hand suddenly, interrupted his words, and said: "Whether Zhang Yuting is loyal to me or not, you don't need to guess casually, just look at his actions. Didn't he say that he has prepared an advance team for the Fengjun in the power-up? As long as he can send troops Entering the customs proves that he is loyal to me."

Liang Shiyi made a fuss, and the others were also constantly thinking about whether Zhang Zuolin could send troops into the customs.Just as they were thinking, Fengtian's movements became bigger and bigger.

Zhang Zuolin began to recruit soldiers on the grounds that the loss of the bandits was too great, and formed an advance team of the Fengjun, and quickly formed a brigade of troops. He also appointed Zhang Jinghui as the training director, and stepped up training every day. Zhang Zuolin also participated in the training every day. Speaking to the soldiers, what they repeatedly preached was loyalty and loyalty to the great emperor, and there was a huge momentum for a while.

But those who know the inside story know that this army is a complete mob, the main force of which is Duan Zhigui's guard regiment, mixed with many Yi army prisoners, the old military police who were cut down, and a large number of bandits and bandits. Helping people is wild and unruly.

Lao Zhang sent Doufu Zhang to be in charge of training. This group of people probably fled in all directions before going to the battlefield, but it was enough to fool people with this thing. Fengtian became more and more violent, and the pressure of public opinion also came to Fengtian , scolding Zhang Zuolin willingly to be a lackey of the imperial system, perversely perverse, and a sinner of the country.

"Zhuoyan, you gave Yu Ting an idea, but you got scolded every day, Yu Ting wants to settle accounts with you."

"Father, the seventh uncle should be happy. The more someone scolds him, the harder he scolds, the more benefits he can reap."

"Nonsense, destroying bones and destroying bones, haven't you heard the saying that everyone can make money?" Zhang Zuoxiang widened his eyes: "Even Yuan Shikai can't bear the pressure of public opinion. Our Fengjun is not as thick as Yuan Shikai's waist." .”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Father, public opinion is indeed powerful, but it must be coordinated with other powerful forces, otherwise public opinion alone will not have any effect."
