Fengxian Jiangshan

Why would Lao Zhang be willing to give Beiyang such a large amount of money for nothing? Especially the three eastern provinces are developing rapidly and there are more and more taxes. If they follow the rules, Fengtian will suffer a lot. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, the tax was completely cut down, and Beiyang was not given at all.

When Zhang Guogan heard this, he also sweated. Zhang Zuolin, the bandit leader, was really difficult to deal with.

But at this time, Zhang Guogan couldn't refuse, and if he came to Zhang Zuolin's door, he would be slaughtered by others, so Zhang Guogan thought for a while and said: "Shuai Yu, this matter is very important, I still need to consult the president's opinion."

Zhang Guogan returned to Beijing overnight, and when he was leaving, Zhang Xun sent Gao Xiaoshan to Fengtian again, which made Zhang Zuolin who had just successfully ripped off excited, another piece of fat delivered to his door!

Chapter 345 Restoration Farce

When Gao Xiaoshan went to Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin only thought that he was going to buy more ammunition, but after the meeting, Lao Zhang understood what was going on. He was here to collect debts, and asked Fengjun to hand over all the ammunition to Braid as soon as possible. military.

Gao Xiaoshan spent three million yuan and handed over a large piece of pasture. He was happy to wait for the ammunition, but Zhang Tinglan only handed him [-] rifles. Fire sticks, and only [-] hand grenades, ten Type [-] mountain guns, and none of the other machine guns and mortars.

When he first returned to Rehe, Gao Xiaoshan kept bragging to Zhang Xun about how many good things he had bought and how excellent Fengjun's arms were. Zhang Xun was also very happy. While he was waiting for the arms, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui It completely fell apart, and Duan Qirui left Tianjin to prepare for another government. This was a big deal, and Zhang Xun had to pay attention to it.

At this time, Duan Qirui's subordinates suddenly sent an invitation to Zhang Xun, hoping that he could come forward to mediate the dispute between the court and the court.After Zhang Xun heard the news, he was overjoyed.

Don't look at Zhang Xungui as the patrol envoy of Mengjiang, but he has long been disgusted with this place where birds don't shit, and Zhang Xun has other thoughts in his heart.For a long time, Zhang Xun regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and his troops kept whips, and a large group of survivors, old and young, were buzzing around him, and people like Kang Youwei kept in touch with him frequently. .

This dispute between the government and the court gave Zhang Xun a glimmer of hope. Since the nzhǔ republic system can’t be played, it’s better to return to the emperor. The idea was born.And this time Duan Qirui hinted that he came forward to mediate, which gave Zhang Xun a god-sent opportunity, and the commander-in-chief immediately became active.

Whether it is to mediate conflicts or restore the monarchy, strength is needed. Zhang Xun has soldiers in his hands, but the weapons are seriously insufficient. At this time, Zhang Xun thought of Fengtian's arms.

As a result, seeing that only a few items were delivered, Zhang Xun was furious on the spot. These items added up to less than 100 million yuan. The original purchase price was not low, but he was tricked by others. Gao Xiaoshan could only scramble and crawl to Fengtian, begging for other ammunition.

After listening to Gao Xiaoshan's narration, Lao Zhang applauded Zhang Tinglan secretly in his heart. The two of them were never lenient when they slaughtered people. Only then did I realize that Zhang Tinglan's ruthless hands were behind him. After collecting the money, he just didn't deliver the goods. Isn't this a white wolf with empty gloves, and he doesn't take such tricks!

Old Zhang pretended to be angry on purpose, and brought Zhang Tinglan over. Old Zhang said angrily with a tigerish face, "Zhuoyan, how did you do it? We value integrity in business, why haven't we handed over the ammunition yet?" ?”

Zhang Tinglan was calm, not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Marshal, I think Mr. Gao has misunderstood. Feng Jun has always handled things strictly according to the contract, without any fault."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan said to Gao Xiaoshan again: "Mr. Gao, the Fengtian arms you bought are different from the arms you get from foreigners. Foreigners ship the finished products and deliver them directly. Our Fengtian arms are It is going to be re-produced. I told you very clearly that it will take at least two months to deliver. Besides, you have never used mortars and other weapons before. I also asked you to send people to learn how to operate them. The personnel are stepping up Training, is it useful to hand over the weapons to you now?"

Faced with Zhang Tinglan's questioning, Gao Xiaoshan was dumbfounded. The agreement was indeed stipulated in this way, and he had nothing to say, but now the situation changed suddenly, and the braided army urgently needed to enter Beijing. What would they do without weapons!

Gao Xiaoshan was so anxious that he spun around on the ground, his forehead was sweating. He knew Zhang Xun's thoughts well. If such a good opportunity was lost because of the weapon, Zhang Xun would take his skin off.

"Yu Shuai, no matter what you think of a way, we must get the ammunition as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zuolin glanced at Zhang Tinglan, thinking how to sing this scene, you should do it, Zhang Tinglan also nodded, and said: "Mr. Gao, if you insist on getting the ammunition in advance, it is not impossible!"

"Whatever you want, I will agree to any conditions!"

"That can only be transferred from Fengjun's active equipment, but doing so will affect Fengjun's combat effectiveness, and you pay another 150 million early pick-up fee!"

Zhang Tinglan lightly asked for another 150 million. Gao Xiaoshan was in pain for a while, and peeked at Zhang Zuolin, hoping that this handsome Yu would come forward to say something and pay less money, but at this time Zhang Zuolin was drinking tea with the old god , without blinking.

Gao Xiaoshan had no choice but to nod after thinking about it. Zhang Tinglan immediately asked Gao Xiaoshan to hand over 100 million rounds of ammunition, [-] mortars, [-] light and heavy machine guns, [-] Krupp guns, and other accessories Some shells were dropped, and [-] hand grenades.

There is still a long way to go before all deliveries are made, especially since Zhang Tinglan only gave 100 million rounds of ammunition, which is a serious shortage. However, Gao Xiaoshan can only go back and report quickly after he has got a lot of things.

After sending him away, Lao Zhang had a smile all over his face: "Zhuo Yan, you have done a good job in this business, you are so damn good, and you knocked Zhang Xun another 150 million, I am afraid that Zhang Xun's family will be wiped out all at once. !"

"Marshal, didn't you see that I still have a batch of bullets and shells buckled? These things can blackmail Zhang Xun a lot at a critical moment!"

"Extortion?" Lao Zhang also looked surprised: "Zhang Xun's family has been emptied, how much money can he give?"

"Marshal, I'm afraid Zhang Xun won't have to pay the bill next time. Think about what Zhang Xun wants to do in such a hurry to ask for ammunition?"

Zhang Zuolin's brains were also turning quickly, there was no major war in the frontier now, Zhang Xun was so anxious for arms, he had only one purpose, and that was to get involved in the dispute between the government and the court.Lao Zhang also understood Zhang Tinglan's plan in an instant. No matter how Zhang Xun struggled, as long as Fengjun held the vital ammunition, Zhang Xun would do everything possible to raise funds and obediently send them to Fengjun's pocket. As for the money How it came about, really don't care.

"Humble words, Bodhisattva Li sent someone to invite us. That Zhang Xun must have been invited by Duan Qirui. I wonder what kind of medicine is sold in the old Duan's gourd? Zhang Xun is not a quiet person. I heard that there are people around him. There are quite a few old and young survivors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and recently they often say that the Republic of China is more chaotic than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and that it is better to return to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the world can be peaceful. If such people come to Beijing, they are afraid that they will cause a big trouble. .”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded and said yes, Zhang Xun's restoration is undoubtedly a farce, but whether there is a driving force behind this farce is very doubtful, otherwise, can Zhang Xun easily lead an army into Beijing with Zhang Xun's ability alone? There are so many obstacles and barriers, now it seems that it is very likely that Lao Duan deliberately let Zhang Xun go to Beijing to make a fuss, drive Li Yuanhong away, and then Lao Duan will appear as a savior to clean up the mess.

As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built, Duan Qirui is planning to completely destroy the political situation since the Republic of China, and then reshape it according to his own ideas, and Zhang Xun is a sad pawn.

After thinking through these things, Zhang Tinglan felt a little sorry for Zhang Xun. Of course, this was just a temporary thought, and he would not be polite when it was time to do so.

"Marshal, I think Duan Qirui may have done it intentionally. He recruited Zhang Xun, the troublemaker, to Beijing, just to make the world chaotic, and then he, Duan Qirui, would come out to clean up the old world."

Lao Zhang thought for a while, nodded, and then asked, "Zhuoyan, what do you think we should do?"

"Marshal, in my opinion, Zhang Xun's death is a good thing for us. It means that the road to the northwest has been opened, but the task of cleaning up the mess can't be left to Duan Qirui, we Fengjun should also participate in it." First, it is to gain fame, and second, it is to gain actual benefits. There are many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and there are many workers. The security situation can be greatly improved.”

For a leader, the most important thing is to know how to advance and retreat, what can be won and what can't be won, what is desperate to get, what is dispensable decoration.

The Middle East Road is something that must be fought for. For this reason, Fengjun can bet all his wealth and life on it, and Rehe is related to the grand strategy of Fengjun's development. Indispensable, as for the seemingly attractive Beiyang power, it is a dispensable thing, and it may still be a chronic poison blindly.

"Zhuoyan, how should Feng Jun deal with it? You and Ling Ge come up with a charter together."

The secret transfer of Fengjun started immediately. At this time, Zhang Xun, the commander-in-chief, suddenly issued a telegram in Rehe, announcing that he would lead the army to Beijing to mediate the dispute between the government and the court. The small warlords are all watching the battle between Prime Minister Duan and Li Bodhisattva, and now that Cheng Yaojin is killed halfway, the big guys can't help but guess how things will develop.

Li Yuanhong was also a bit puzzled by the monk Zhang Er, he invited Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Shizi opened his mouth and asked for such a high price, but Feng Jun didn't move, and Zhang Xun, who had nothing to do with them, jumped out. It was getting weirder and weirder, Li Yuanhong could only wait and see what happened.

Zhang Xun, on the other hand, was full of vigor and high spirits. He personally led [-] braided troops as the vanguard, and headed for the city of Beijing in a mighty manner. .

However, after the commander-in-chief arrived in the capital, he did something unexpected. He went straight to the Forbidden City and kowtowed to the little emperor Puyi to greet him. As for the real president Li Yuanhong, he was left aside. RS! .

3Chapter 16 Rebellion

After Zhang Xun arrived in Beijing, everyone was shocked by his unexpected behavior. Some people who had been in the political circle for many years felt a strange atmosphere, and some well-informed people went around rumors that when Zhang Xun left the Forbidden City, he was wearing a It's a yellow jacket.

Now all kinds of rumors spread all over Sijiu City in an instant, but Zhang Xun, the commander-in-chief, completely ignored them. As soon as he entered Beijing, he let his subordinates take over Beijing's city defense, and even the presidential palace was controlled. Then he invited Kang Youwei out again.

As we all know, Kang Youwei is the leader of the Royalist Party. Since the failure of the Reform Movement of [-], Kang Youwei has been in exile overseas for many years. After entering the country, he also frequently published royalist remarks in newspapers.

Now that Zhang Xun and Kang Youwei got mixed up, the situation became clearer. That night Zhang Xun called together all the Beiyang veterans in Beijing, including Wang Shizhen, Jiang Chaozong, Chen Guangyuan, Wu Binghu and others.

After everyone arrived at the scene, Zhang Xun was dressed in a military uniform with a yellow mandarin jacket on the outside, and his appearance was imposing. Kang Youwei accompanied him, and he looked even more majestic.

After meeting, Zhang Xun said: "This time, the commander-in-chief came to Beijing not to mediate any disputes between the courts, but to restore the great treasure of your majesty and restore the Qing Dynasty. Back then, the Empress Dowager Longyu, in order not to bear the war in the country, He just announced his abdication. Now that the republic has been established for so many years, the country has no improvement, but is a mess. At this time, His Majesty should be allowed to rule the world again, so that the country can live in peace and prosperity!"

Zhang Xun said his opinion loudly, and everyone else was listening. Wang Shizhen was called the Dragon of Beiyang back then, and he was also a big man with a long history. This kind of thing is not optimistic at all. When Yuan Shikai was so powerful, when he became the emperor, he immediately betrayed his relatives.

Now Puyi is only a 12-year-old child, and his breasts are still wet, can he convince the princes of the world!Zhang Xun and Kang Youwei are two pieces of material, one article and one military, and they cooperate well. The key is whether they can control the country. Among other things, they can't even control Beijing and Tianjin.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen dared to ask: "What is the attitude of the provinces? Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the great powers, and what is the attitude of the great powers?"

"There is no problem with diplomacy, and the provincial governors all agree. Feng Guozhang and Lu Rongting have expressed their full support. Zhang is bound to restore the Qing Dynasty. Whoever dares to oppose me will have to fight to the death!"

Wang Shizhen saw that Zhang Xun had eaten the weight and made up his mind, so he simply didn't care about anything. He was so old that he couldn't afford to get angry about this kind of thing. Naturally, there were people who could deal with it. These Beiyang veterans followed Zhang Xun to the Forbidden City, please Out of the little emperor Pu Yi, let him reset.

Although Puyi was only 12 years old, he also felt that this kind of thing seemed unreliable, so he said: "I am too young, I am afraid it is difficult to take on a big position."

Zhang Xun hurriedly fell to his knees, and said with sincerity and fear: "The emperor is wise and wise. The emperor Kangxi, the holy ancestor, also practiced his age, and there was a splendid country in the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Qing Dynasty. The ministers are willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

Up to now, Puyi could only reluctantly agree. It was already early morning, and Zhang Xun took a copy of Li Yuanhong's request for the return of state affairs that he had drawn up a long time ago, and ran to the presidential palace, and was kept in the dark when he met. Li Yuanhong.
