Fengxian Jiangshan

"Commander, Meng Enyuan still refuses to hand over his seal, and is gathering the remnants of the army, preparing to fight to the death. What do you think should be done?"

Yang Yuting reported the news he had just received to Lao Zhang, and Zhang Zuolin scolded with a smile: "Damn it, Meng Enyuan is still a bit bloody, but he doesn't want to fight us, he will draw a regiment from the Cavalry Division, and also a regiment from the 27th Division." Regiment, plus a brigade led by Fuchen, we gathered 1 people and escorted my old relative's family into Kyrgyzstan, but Meng Enyuan wanted to stop him, and he was about to die!"

Lao Zhang is also a decisive figure. Once he decides to attack, he will never be polite. Feng Tian received Zhang Zuolin's order and hurriedly dispatched troops. In addition to preparing the army, Zhang Zuolin also asked Zhang Tinglan to help Zhang Luo 200 million Ocean loan.

The money was used to buy the Ji army, appease the local reserves, and Jilin's taxes were used as a guarantee. Zhang Tinglan was in favor of this kind of loan. This time, Bao Guiqing took advantage of it.

With this loan, Zhang Tinglan was able to blatantly use economic means to control Jilin, and even find a way to empty Bao Guiqing. It all depends on whether the new Marshal Bao is smart enough.

Zhang Zuolin had almost prepared everything, and Bao Guiqing was finally formally appointed as the governor of Jilin.After Lao Duan came to power, he was brewing reforms. It turned out that Lao Yuan implemented the system of the general's mansion, and changed the governors of the provinces from feudal officials to officials sent by the central government.

But the old Duan found that the effect was still very limited, and the power of the local princes was still getting heavier, so Duan Qirui decided to implement the system of governors and governors. The governors are in charge of military affairs, and the governors are in charge of civil affairs. An Overseer.

All the way north from Beijing, he received a warm welcome. In the past two years, Bao Guiqing has been in charge of the Beijing Lecture Hall, and he has actually been marginalized. Now that Xianyu has turned himself over and ascended to the sky in one step, he has directly become a prince. He is still extremely proud.

But what followed was full of distress. As the warlord, he was caught between Beiyang and his in-laws. Bao Guiqing was a little embarrassed about what to do.

His special train soon arrived in Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin led his civil and military officials to meet Bao Guiqing at the station. The two had grown up together since they were young. They were also very emotional, and they joined hands, boarded the carriage together, and returned to the commander's mansion.

That night, Lao Zhang prepared a warm welcome banquet. All the senior officials of Fengtian gathered together, and everyone exchanged cups, and the atmosphere was very warm.After Lao Zhang drank two cups, he took Bao Guiqing's hand and said, "Dear family, you can rest assured that you go to Jilin this time. If you want a gun, you need money. He's gone, you're welcome."

"Yuting's soldiers are pointing at the front, and they are as powerful as a broken bamboo. I am very clear about this." Bao Guiqing complimented a few words, then changed the subject, and continued: "But after all, Meng Enyuan is Beiyang old man has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, we have to give him a way to survive, he has to be forgiving and forgiving, don't you think?"

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he felt a little unhappy. Feng Jun did his best to take Meng Enyuan down, and then Lao Zhang pulled Bao Guiqing up from the bench and let him take over Jilin. Still speaking for Meng Enyuan, is this trying to please both sides?Don't forget who gave you this position!

Although Lao Zhang was unhappy, he didn't show it at all on his face. He was still talking and laughing. When he talked about being happy, Wang Yongjiang suddenly raised his wine glass, toasted Bao Guiqing, and said, "Marshal Bao, you He Yushuai is a good friend of Qin and Jin. In the future, our two provinces should also be like this, taking care of each other and helping each other. Compared with Fengtian, Jilin is a little behind. I suggest that the two sides should cooperate in an all-round way and exchange what is needed to benefit the two provinces. people."

Wang Yongjiang raised the question of cooperation at this wine table. It seemed casual, but in fact it had deep meaning. Bao Guiqing's warlord was brought down by the Fengjun, and Fengtian contributed to make Bao Guiqing famous. To Fengtian, if there is no benefit for Fengtian, wouldn't he be a fool!

Zhang Zuolin also knew that, as the so-called brothers settle accounts clearly, this kind of thing really needs to be explained clearly, so Lao Zhang said with a smile: "In-laws, we should really help each other, what do you think?"

"Of course it's the best thing. Jilin is in dire straits, and urgently needs Fengtian's help. To be honest, on the way here, I just want to ask for alms!"

"Hehe, old in-laws, I discussed with Zhuoyan and asked Fengtian Bank to provide you with a loan of 200 million yuan. It is mainly used to rectify the army and restore local law and order. Do you think it is enough?"

Bao Guiqing thought for a while and said, "Yuting, this time the main force of the Kyrgyz army has lost a lot. To recover quickly, it will require a lot of financial resources. I think it will take at least 500 million yuan?"

For Zhang Zuolin, this amount was indeed a bit unexpected. He was a little embarrassed. Wang Yongjiang suddenly said: "Marshal Bao, I have an idea. You are looking to see if it works. It is to mortgage the official bank account of Jilin. In the future, Jilin will be the same as Fengtian, and the pass will be issued, and the exchanges between the two provinces will be convenient in the future, and our financial currency will be integrated, and it will be much easier to borrow money."

When Bao Guiqing heard this, there was a hint of astonishment on his face. He had been an official for so many years, and he didn't know anything. Why did Meng Enyuan start a war with Zhang Zuolin? If it is handed over to Zhang Zuolin, it will completely become Lao Zhang's subordinate and follower.

"Don't be too hasty in everything. I think it's better to understand the people's situation first. As for the army, there is no rush to rectify it. Two million is enough!"

As soon as the words came out, the scene suddenly became a little weird. Lao Zhang suddenly smiled and said: "My dear family, I will arrange someone to send you to Jilin to work first. We will talk about other things later. Let's put this piece of meat in a bowl first." Inside!"

Chapter 2 Assassination

Bao Guiqing's attitude undoubtedly cast a layer of unhappiness on Zhang Zuolin's heart. In fact, Zhang Zuolin thought that Bao Guiqing was his son and in-laws, and now he praised him so much.If Bao Guiqing was smart enough, he should be honest and obedient, but Zhang Zuolin followed suit, and the current situation is completely different.

Bao Guiqing probably had selfish motives and small calculations, and was unwilling to be Lao Zhang's subordinate, but wanted to be an equal military governor similar to Meng Enyuan.

This just hit Zhang Zuolin's lungs. You must know that Zhang Zuolin abandoned his old brother who was in the saddle and promoted Bao Guiqing. Although he was considering Beiyang's attitude, he was also under pressure. Already have enough qualifications and prestige.

As a result, Lao Zhang surpassed them and appointed a Bao Guiqing who was at odds with him. Doesn't this seem that Lao Zhang is incompetent!But Zhang Zuolin has long learned to cover up his attitude, and he laughed and cursed in every gesture, so it was difficult for others to see his thoughts.

When he was drunk and his face was hot, Zhang Zuolin suddenly said: "Old relatives, there are few people in Jilin, and the land is empty everywhere. This is not good. I have asked Zhuoyan to manage the reclamation and immigration affairs a few days ago , We are a family in the two provinces, and if there are good things, we must not forget our in-laws. In the future, all the Jifeng border areas will be classified as reclamation areas, and they will be developed together, and everyone will share the benefits."

When Zhang Zuolin said this, his tone was completely irrefutable, no objection was allowed, and Bao Guiqing had no way to refuse.But he has also seen through the essence of reclamation, what is the benefit of enjoying together, it is clear that southern Jilin has been brought under the control of Fengjun.

Moreover, this was also Zhang Zuolin's warning to let him know who is in charge and who is in charge. Bao Guiqing deliberately refused, but in the end she endured it.The whole meal was anticlimactic, and in the end, everyone present was thinking about their own calculations, and the taste was gone.

Two days later, Zhang Zuolin asked Sun Liechen to command the troops, escort Bao Guiqing to Jilin, and drive Meng Enyuan out completely.

While Fengtian was busy, Zhang Zuoxiang, who was in Changchun, was not idle. To be honest, Zhang Zuoxiang also had some ideas about the position of the warlord since he entered Jilin.He was not thinking about himself, but thinking about Zhang Tinglan.

My son is capable and capable. If he was in Fengtian, there would be a lot of people on his head, and he would not feel comfortable doing anything.If he can own a province, Zhang Tinglan will have enough stage.

But things backfired.In the end, Lao Zhang chose Bao Guiqing.Zhang Zuoxiang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He used this period of time to do things secretly.The first is to win over the Chamber of Commerce in Jilin. Zhang Zuoxiang defeated Gao Shibin before saving them. These people are grateful to Zhang Zuoxiang.

Therefore, Zhang Zuoxiang tried his best to promote their cooperation with Fengtian Industrial Group, and tied them to Zhang Tinglan's chariot.In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang also captured a large number of Ji troops. He selected some capable ones, bought them all first, and then released them back to Meng Enyuan.Act as an internal response.

These people will always be lurking in the Ji army at ordinary times, and if there is any disturbance in the Ji army in the future, they will never be able to escape Zhang Zuoxiang's surveillance.Moreover, Zhang Zuoxiang met with Guo Zongxi again. Guo’s Shaoguo was originally responsible for providing spirits to the Russians. Now Fengtian Xingye Company has directly invested in shares to help them expand their production capacity. At the same time, they have opened up relations with Russia so that they can safely and boldly smuggle into Russia. , to make huge profits.

This alone has caused the Guo family's annual income to more than double. Both Guo Zongxi and Guo Zongsheng are grateful to Zhang Zuoxiang and express their loyalty to them.

After making these arrangements, Zhang Zuoxiang felt confident. Even if Bao Guiqing had mastered Jilin, the Zhangs and his sons had their own people in the military, government, and business circles. If there were any changes in the future, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan would be able to seize the opportunity .

At this time, Sun Liechen escorted Bao Guiqing to Changchun. The two armies joined forces and immediately launched an attack on the capital of Jilin Province.Meng Enyuan panicked in the city, his mouth was full of blisters, his eyes were red, and his voice was already hoarse.

Just two days ago, his nephew Gao Shibin escaped from the mountains and fled back to Jilin, this time almost costing Gao Shibin half his life.He was also completely listless. Although he was a little unconvinced, Feng Jun also made an indelible impression on him.

"Wuru, didn't you say that the army is nothing to be afraid of? I will give you ten thousand soldiers, can you drive them back?" Meng Enyuan held his nephew's hand tightly, and he was desperate now. He was looking forward to Gao Shi so much. The best man was able to nod his head confidently, giving him a little hope, but he was still disappointed.

"Uncle, if you are a well-trained veteran, you can still fight, but if you send those recruits up, it can only be very bad luck, and the chances of winning are slim!"

When Meng Enyuan heard this, all his strength seemed to be drained, and he sat blankly on the grand master's chair. At this time, Wu Tai'an ran in.The old man was considered lucky that he didn't die in the rebellion. After returning to Jilin, Meng Enyuan didn't have any doubts and continued to use him again.

At this time, Wu Taian ran over with a telegram in his hand, and said out of breath: "Marshal, Bao Guiqing sent you a telegram, he advised you to give up resistance, he said he was willing to keep your life and property safe, You can keep your subordinates as much as possible, as long as you hand over the commander seal, everything will be easy to talk about."

When Meng Enyuan heard this, he sat up suddenly, grabbed the telegram, read it carefully, and then looked depressed.

"Old Wu, do you also suggest that I agree to Bao Guiqing's conditions?"

"Marshal, the matter has come to this point, and it is really irreparable. If you continue to resist, Feng Jun will kill you, and you will be destroyed. Bao Guiqing is still an old man in Beiyang, and you will not kill them all. You can still leave some confidantes in Jilin, as long as you have the opportunity , you can still make a comeback and regain control of Jilin."

Meng Enyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Old Wu, could this be a trap? Bao Guiqing made me give up resistance, and then dealt with all my subordinates?"

"I don't think so, Marshal. To be honest, I think Bao Guiqing also has his own plans. He is not willing to be Zhang Zuolin's marionette, so he will definitely gather the old troops in Jilin and use this power to fight against Zhang Zuolin. , strive for a certain amount of independent power!"

After Wu Tai'an finished speaking, Meng Enyuan thought for a long time and nodded: "Old Wu, what you said is very reasonable. Now that you are hungry, you can only take advantage of Bao Guiqing. I will go back to Tianjin to live in seclusion, but you all don't move. Jilin, as long as there is a chance, I will come back!"

Meng Enyuan left Jilin full of unwillingness, Bao Guiqing took over Jilin smoothly, and Zhang Zuolin took another firm step on the road to dominate the three eastern provinces.

Soon time came to May 27th, the younger brother of Emperor Taisho of Japan, Prince Hanin Gongzaijin came to visit from Petrograd, passing Fengtian along the way, this is a big figure of the Japanese royal family, Fengtian must give enough courtesy.

Zhang Zuolin also went to greet him in person, and Zhang Tinglan joined in the fun. This time he rode Liu Guang out. Liu Guang is nearly two years old, and his body is getting taller. He is nearly 1.6 meters from hoof to back, which is taller than most people now. , raised his head up, he was more than two meters away.

The light golden fur became more and more shiny, and the whole body was glittering with golden light. After watching it, everyone couldn't help admiring. This is not a war horse in the world, but a divine horse in the sky.

Many people in Fengjun are good horses, and they couldn't help drooling when they saw Liu Guang.In fact, Zhang Tinglan also had her own purpose for riding Liu Guang. The Japanese improved the Dongyang horse by introducing fine breeds. These horses are much taller than the Mongolian horses in China. Many Japanese hope to ride the Dongyang horse to show off their might.

Zhang Tinglan rode Liu Guang out just to kill their prestige. No matter how good the oriental horses are, they are far worse than the authentic sweat-blooded BMWs. As soon as Liu Guang appears, those oriental horses will become stars in the sky. No one cares if one is missing.

In order to catch a glimpse of the emperor's younger brother, all the famous Japanese in Fengtian gathered together, but the majestic prince hadn't appeared yet, Liu Guang stole all the limelight as soon as he walked in front of the crowd, and many Japanese military officers didn't turn a blind eye. Blinkingly staring at Liu Guang, saliva dripped all over the floor.

He didn't even listen to the prince's speech, and Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace had a big score. After saying a few words, he left Fengtian and didn't get off the train at all. On the way back, Zhang Zuolin still had some complain.

"Damn it, don't we put our hot face on other people's cold ass, and give them face, but these Japanese don't know how to make faces!"
