Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Zuolin didn't expect that Zhang Tinglan would come up with this idea. After thinking about it carefully, it really made sense. Mrs. Dai also hurriedly said: "Marshal, Zhuoyan's idea is really good. Last time the Japanese little turtle assassinated you, we people want to kill you." I feel scared when I wake up!"

Lao Zhang nodded: "In this case, let's settle down, and we must be more careful with the Japanese!"

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, and waved his family away, leaving only Zhang Tinglan. Lao Zhang sighed, and said to him: "Zhuoyan, we talked with the Japanese a few times, and I agreed to hire Japanese instructors. I also agreed to give priority to the purchase of Japanese goods and machines, which is considered to have passed the current hurdle."

There was a big trouble on the Korean peninsula, Okuma Shigenobu’s cabinet collapsed, Terauchi Masaki, an old guy, didn’t make it through. Three days after he was sent to the hospital, he kicked his legs and died. As a result, there was a vacuum in Japan’s domestic political situation. scramble.

The veterans of the navy and army, as well as the political party forces advocating democracy and freedom, are all engaged in a fierce game, striving for the dominance of the future.For the Japanese, the domestic troubles are the first, the chaos in North Korea is the second, and the problems in the Northeast are ranked third.

Coupled with repeated warnings from the great powers, the Japanese finally gave up the idea of ​​using force against the Northeast, but they also blackmailed some benefits, the most important of which are three points. Japan sent an advisory group to the Fengjun to guide the training of the Fengjun. To jointly establish the Fengtian Arsenal, Fengtian should give priority to purchasing Japanese equipment and employing Japanese technicians.

Regarding these three items, Lao Zhang is very aware of the dangers involved. Once he agrees, the Japanese will attack Fengtian's military and business circles to expand their power, but Zhang Zuolin is also very clear-headed. Again, I can only reluctantly agree.

"Marshal, in fact, there are still loopholes in this treaty. The scope of the regulations is only in Fengtian territory, which is what the Japanese call South Manchuria. North Manchuria is still in the hands of the Russians, and the Japanese dare not interfere blatantly. Among them, among the three eastern provinces, Jihei and Fengtian have long lagged behind, and the development gap between the three provinces is very large. I think it is better to disperse some industries in Jihei and Jihei. This can not only promote the development of the two provinces, but also increase insurance. , to prevent the Japanese from serving Lian Wo!"

"Humble words, the Russians are even more greedy and unscrupulous. Can they be safe in North Manchuria?"

"Don't worry, the commander-in-chief. Russia is indeed insatiable, but they have a big appetite, but they have no good teeth. The domestic situation is getting worse and worse. It is almost the same as the end of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the tsar also participated in the world war. Russia's national strength is fundamental. I can’t bear it, I think Russia’s collapse will be within a year and a half, and it’s inevitable that their power will shrink back, and by then North Manchuria will be our world!”

The biggest bottleneck in the development of Fengjun lies in the poor geopolitical environment. There is Tsarist Russia in the north and Japan in the south. The two major powers sandwich the three eastern provinces in the middle. Fengjun can only breathe in the gap. If one of the powers can be driven out , Fengjun's situation will completely change.

After Lao Zhang heard the news, he was also very excited, but he still had a little doubt: "Zhuoyan, Tsarist Russia is a country bigger than ours, will it really collapse?"

"It's entirely possible that the conflicts in Russia have reached the point where they cannot be controlled, and the Russians have suffered heavy losses this summer. Millions of people died on the front lines. They will definitely not last long!"

"Well, as soon as Russia is finished, we will shift the focus of development to the Jihei provinces."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan left the commander's mansion, he went straight to the lecture hall. The students here are the backbone of Fengjun in the future. It is absolutely right to invest more in them, so Zhang Tinglan puts as much effort as possible here.

He had just arrived at the door when suddenly a student ran out in a panic and grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand.

"Mr. Zhang, the Japanese are going to compete with us, so go in and have a look!"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard that the matter was related to the Japanese, she couldn't help but be concerned, so she hurried in. Along the way, the student briefed Zhang Tinglan on the situation. It turned out that Zhang Zuolin had agreed to the Japanese to send an advisory group, and the Japanese immediately dispatched the staff. When they came over, they had already prepared. When these people arrived in Fengtian, they went directly to the lecture hall, claiming that they would exchange experience with the young officers of Fengjun.

As a result, the communication was false, and the confidence in wanting to take the opportunity to suppress Fengjun was true. Although Japan tried its best to cover it up, the news that they had wiped out more than [-] people was still circulating. These Japanese officers wanted to regain face from Fengjun, so The two sides talked and talked, and they proposed to have a martial arts competition.

The Chinese side can't do it either. These young students are all passionate and don't want to be timid at all, so they agreed at that time.

"Everyone, don't worry. As the saying goes, swearing is not good, and beating is not good. If there is a little injury, both of us will lose face. I think it's better not to do it!"

"Cowards, the samurai in Japan will never be afraid of sacrifice, and the Chinese people are a bunch of cowards!"

Chapter 251 Sword Immortal Style

When Zhang Tinglan came to the school grounds, he saw that several students were ready to attack, but Xiqia on the side took the initiative to take a few steps back, looking happy and indifferent, Zhang Tinglan suddenly felt unhappy, and hurriedly Come and stop them and separate these students from the Japanese.

"For 5000 years in China, there has been Su Wu who has been herding sheep with integrity, and Qi Jiguang who has wiped out the sea. How could they be cowards? This friend joked. Zhang Tinglan deliberately pointed out Qi Jiguang, which seems to be casual, but a few people understand The faces of the Japanese who are Chinese are not good, but they can't refute.

"Iga-kun, we are friends with Fengtian, very good friends, and we should respect each other." A guy with a mustache spoke up. This person is the newly appointed Japanese Consul General in Fengtian Masasuke Akatsuka .

Various incidents occurred in Fengtian one after another. The Japanese government also expressed serious dissatisfaction with Shida's diplomatic work. But it is very profound.

There is always a faint smile on his face, and he looks polite to everyone, but Zhang Tinglan thinks his smile is eerie and weird, and has already labeled him as a smiling tiger. This guy is probably more difficult than the relatively straightforward loss of land. I didn't expect him to come here today.

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to smile at him and said: "Mr. Consul General, why don't you come to the martial arts lecture hall when you have time? Is there any advice you can give me?"

"The empire attaches great importance to the cooperation with Fengtian. The military advisers sent this time are all the best soldiers of the empire. This Mr. Iga is a master of swordsmanship in Japan. He has served as a swordsmanship instructor in a non-commissioned officer school. Going to Fengtian is a testament to the friendship between the two parties!"

Zhang Tinglan sneered in his heart, and just said to this guy that Chinese people are cowards, so it can be seen that he is definitely not a good person, and what he represents is not friendship.But a knife!

Akatsuka Masasuke continued: "Mr. Iga heard that there are many famous martial arts masters in China, and he would like to learn about the profound and profound Chinese Kung Fu."

"Hmph, no need, they're all a bunch of gutless guys who dare not even accept a challenge, they're not worthy of being opponents at all!" Iga pouted again, speaking brazenly.

The students present are all young people with vigorous blood.Who could bear to be pointed at the nose and scolded so badly by others? Some grumpy students, such as Zhang Henian, were all gearing up and ready to do something, and the scene was chaotic for a while.Zhang Tinglan hurriedly waved her hand to silence everyone.

Fortunately, Zhang Tinglan's prestige is enough, and the scene quickly quieted down, but the students all looked dissatisfied and wanted to teach that rampant Iga a lesson. As for Iga, he still tilted his head and didn't even bother to look at it. Have a look.Rampant to the extreme.

With a faint smile on Zhang Tinglan's face, he glanced at Iga, then at Akatsuka Masasuke, and said, "Mr. Consul General, there is nothing wrong with wanting to compete in martial arts, but the martial arts hall is a military academy, so we can't scold the streets like shrews." Same, after saying a few words, it’s not elegant to just start a fight. If we want to have a real competition, we need to discuss it carefully.

Facing the provocation of the Japanese.Zhang Tinglan has always advocated a strong counterattack, but he must not be blind and must be polite.If a fight is fought like this in the martial arts hall, Fengtian will not care about winning or losing.It's hard to explain, it's not worthwhile to hurt yourself, but if you hurt the other party, the Japanese will take the opportunity to provoke.

Therefore, it is possible to compete in martial arts, but the rules must be set and conducted in an open and aboveboard manner, so as not to cause trouble for the Japanese. As long as they can win, it will increase Fengtian's prestige and blow the arrogance of the Japanese.

From the very beginning, Zhang Tinglan adopted the method of retreating to advance, deliberately showing weakness, and giving the Japanese a trap. After Iga's nonsense, they had no way out. They couldn't refuse Zhang Tinglan's suggestion at all.

Akatsuka Masasuke kept smiling, and said, "What method does Zhang Sang think should be used for the contest?"

"I think we will compete in three games. The first game is a martial arts contest. Each side sends a master to compete with each other. The second game is a bayonet skill competition. Each party sends a three-man bayonet team, or two more groups are also acceptable. The third A war game will be held on the spot. The Japanese side will form a team, and the students from the martial arts hall will form a team to fight against each other. Two victories in three games will not only compare the personal bravery of the two sides, but also compare the military skills. I think this is very important. An appropriate method can greatly enhance mutual understanding, what do you think?"

Zhang Tinglan proposed the competition plan, and Masasuke Akatsuka did not expect Zhang Tinglan to have such a complete plan. He also asked Machino Takema, who was in charge of the Japanese advisory group, for his opinion. This Machino Takema was not a simple person either. In fact, it was a spy placed by the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Fengtian. By virtue of his status as a consultant, he exerted influence on the Fengjun. In the original history, there was also his shadow behind the Huanggutun incident.

He became the head of the advisory group this time, and his main mission was to gain the trust of Zhang Zuolin and find out the details of Fengjun. Takema Machino believed that if he wanted to gain trust, he had to show his strength first, and the lecture hall was crowded. The group of Fengtian people who know the military best, in their hearts, it is necessary to establish a strong and invincible image of the Japanese.

After hearing what Zhang Tinglan said, he felt that this method was better. Takema Machino had strong confidence in the military quality of the Japanese, and he happened to be able to teach Fengjun a lesson from all aspects, so he readily agreed.

"Since that's the case, both of us should make some preparations. We will still be on the school field in two days. At that time, Marshal Zhang will come in person. I believe this match will be very meaningful!"

Zhang Tinglan sent the Japanese away, and his eyes fell on Xiqia. The Japanese came to provoke, and they must have been prepared. If they fought rashly, Fengtian would definitely suffer. In the end, Xiqia didn't know how to suppress things. It's horrible.

"Minister of Education, the Japanese came prepared, isn't it inappropriate for us to take on the challenge blindly?"

"It's still clumsy and thoughtful. I just treat it as an ordinary martial arts competition. The Japanese are consultants. We will inevitably communicate with each other in the future. Even if we suffer a little loss occasionally, it's no big deal."

"Otherwise, what the army pays attention to is momentum. It pays attention to winning first. For the first time, we must go all out. As for the future, we don't have to care so much."

"My clumsy words make sense, I was wrong!" Xiqia knew that he couldn't compete with Zhang Tinglan, so he simply took a step back.Zhang Tinglan didn't want to say much, but turned to look at the students present.

"The lecture hall is the face of Feng Jun. This time, you will compete with the Japanese for three rounds. You must not embarrass Feng Jun. The personnel for the second and third rounds will be selected from among you. If anyone loses face, just Go clean the toilet for a month!"

"Then there is still the first round. The Japanese must send that guy named Iga, and I will teach him a lesson!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Tinglan gave Zhang Henian a hard look at Zhang Henian who took the initiative to challenge, and then said, "Since that guy can be an instructor in the non-commissioned officer school, it proves that he is very capable. You students should not mix in this round of competition." Yes, there are others. Just let me deal with the next two rounds!"

Although it was a temporary idea, Zhang Tinglan also attached great importance to this competition. If it is done well, it will be a good opportunity to boost Fengtian's military prestige. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan is very concerned. First, he found Guo Songling and asked him to be in charge of selecting the person in charge of the fight. Guo Songling is of course obliged to guide the students and tactics at the same time.But he was still a little worried.

"Zhuoyan, the Japanese are very skilled in stabbing and stabbing, and their military quality is also higher than ours. It would be good to win the next two rounds. In fact, the key to victory lies in the first round. We must win the first round." It's just that Fengtian doesn't seem to have any martial arts masters. It may be difficult to defeat the Japanese!"

"Mr. Guo, your news is too poor. Have you forgotten Li Jinglin who just arrived in Fengtian?"

Guo Songling suddenly realized when he heard it, and nodded again and again.He smiled and said: "Zhuo Yan is really thoughtful, I have also heard about the name of Li Jinglin Sword Immortal. As long as he can win the first game, we can win the next two games, and the Japanese will be stripped of their face." Well, consultants are not as good as students, and you can't hold your head up when you say it!"

Guo Songling is also an activist. After he knew the situation, he hurriedly went to discuss tactics with those students, while Zhang Tinglan hurriedly went to call on Li Jinglin.

This time there were two people from Heilongjiang to Fengtian, one was Li Jinglin and the other was Jiang Dengxuan. In Siping, Zhang Tinglan told Zhu Qinglan that he wanted Jiang Dengxuan to serve as an instructor in the martial arts hall. In the future, he would directly lead the army. Zhu Qinglan He also knew the position of the Jiangwu Hall in Fengjun.

The young marshals Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tinglan are both students there. If Jiang Dengxuan can claim the title of teacher, his future promotion will be smooth and his career will be just around the corner.Although Jiang Dengxuan is his right-hand man, but by his side, he can't control the real military power. It's better to let Jiang Dengxuan enter the martial arts hall, so that the two can take care of each other in the future.
