Zhang Tinglan's meaning is also very clear. If the old Duan wants to track down the whereabouts of the money in the future, he will say it is for the relief of the victims. The old Duan will not want to get a penny. Duan Qirui knows it in his heart, but he really doesn't want it. know what to say.To disagree is to shield the Eight Banners.Regardless of the lives of the victims, the gang of Eight Banners and the old bureaucrats will desperately besiege him if he agrees. The best way now is to say nothing.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan leaving the Prime Minister's Office with a smile on his face, Lao Duan felt very depressed, not to mention how depressed he was. Feng Jun took away all the benefits from a good move.It's just too deceiving.

"Zhi Weng, things are not going well, Feng Jun has completely controlled Rehe, what do you think should be done?"

Xu Shuzheng hurried in and sent the telegram to Duan Qirui.When Lao Duan saw it, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth.Just when Zhang Xun launched a rebellion.The Feng army dispatched two armies from the north and the south. The north army was led by Guo Songling and sent troops from Chifeng, and the south army sent troops from Chaoyang in Fengtian. The goal of both armies was Chengde.

Due to Zhang Xun's rebellion, everyone's energy was concentrated in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. In addition, the Fengjun was a secret operation, and Beiyang did not get a report. When Zhang Xun was almost defeated, the two armies of the Fengjun suddenly appeared outside Chengde .

Those braided soldiers who stayed behind also knew that the situation was not good, so when they saw Fengjun's magical soldiers descending from the sky, they hardly resisted, so they handed Chengde over to Fengjun with both hands. After taking control of Chengde, Fengjun sent a report to the outside world, It is said that Fengjun has successfully occupied the lair of the braided army.

Seeing this news, Lao Duan was of course furious, this is not the lair of attacking the braided army, it is clearly trying to grab credit, it is expanding the territory, and he did not take Duan Qirui seriously at all.

Snapped!There was a crisp cracking sound, and a teacup was smashed to pieces.Old Duan couldn't help scolding: "These gangsters are simply too greedy. The money is not enough, and they want to expand their territory. They are greedy and greedy!"

"Yezheng, we can't bear it any longer. We must take measures. If Fengjun is allowed to develop like this, Beiyang will really be doomed in the future!"

The old section still has some strategic vision. Rehe is close to the front line of the Great Wall, and the closest place to Beijing is only one or two hundred kilometers away. The area around Tianjin was surrounded, and now that the Feng army's combat effectiveness is so strong, it would be too dangerous to launch a sudden attack.

"Zhi Weng, I just got the news that Fengjun secretly sold a large amount of ammunition to Zhang Xun. The bullets, shells, and grenades used by the braided army were all provided by Fengjun. For this reason, they blackmailed Zhang Xun for 1000 million yuan. !"

When the old Duan heard the news, his eyes were red. He pushed all the documents on the desktop to the ground, and he was furious: "Too much bullying! Too much bullying! Fengjun dares to take advantage of both sides, he treats us as a Is it impossible to kill a three-year-old child? We must let them know how powerful they are, otherwise what is the power of the Beiyang Army?"

Old Duan walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and asked again: "You Zheng, is the evidence sufficient?"

"Zhi Weng, this was revealed by Zhang Xun when he fled. He also hated Fengjun's behavior, so he took the initiative to tell us the information. In addition, when we attacked the braided army, we also captured a lot of Fengjun's equipment. They were all produced by Fengtian, and they used Daosheng Bank to transfer money, so they can find corresponding evidence!"

"Yeah!" Old Duan nodded: "These gangsters are really cunning. On the surface, what they say sounds better than anyone else. It's all nonsense, and it's all their high-sounding excuses. Bandits don’t have a single good thing!”

"Zhi Weng, now I wonder if Feng Jun knew about Zhang Xun's actions in advance, otherwise how could they enter the customs so quickly, maybe they entered the customs to provide Zhang Xun with weapons, and cheat us!"

"There is a possibility. We must take advantage of this matter to turn the public opinion around. Fengjun's ugly face is exposed to the world. I see how they still confidently investigate the properties of the Eight Banners. They must be ruined."

Xu Shuzheng saw that the old Duan was completely furious, and he was also very happy. Xiao Xu has long been not slow to Feng Jun, so he can only wish for such a good opportunity.

"Zhi Weng, the Feng army's combat effectiveness is not weak. If you fight a tiger, you must be careful not to be injured by the tiger. You should prepare the army in advance. Once public opinion is created, we will disarm the Feng army in the name of investigation. If you dare to resist, you will be wiped out on the spot!"

After Lao Duan and Xiao Xu finalized the plan, the people in Beiyang acted quickly. According to the plan, they first launched an attack on public opinion. Beiyang gathered all his imperial literati and wrote articles overnight. Running around, contacting the army, very busy.

"Zhuoyan, isn't the atmosphere in Beijing a bit wrong?" Sun Liechen said.

"That's right, the Beiyang Army who were wandering around the streets were all gathered, and there might be some military action."

"Zhuoyan, who do you think they will deal with?"

"Besides us, I'm afraid there is no other family!"

Sun Liechen's expression suddenly changed. Before he could ask carefully, Zhou Xuexi ran over in a panic. The old man was panting and anxious. When he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said directly: "Zhuoyan, you guys are going too far." , how can you earn all kinds of money, now the old Duan has caught the handle!"

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

"What else are you talking about? Duan Qirui already knows about your sale of weapons to the braided army. He is going to attack both public opinion and the military. First, he will smear you, and then send troops to solve you. Although the Fengjun army is powerful , but Beijing and Tianjin are the territory of Beiyang, and their roots are deep, so don’t ask for trouble, you have also made a lot of money this time, hurry up and withdraw to the pass!"

The Beiyang system was inherited from the Qing Dynasty, and like the Qing court, there was no secrecy at all. Although the old Duan tried his best to hide his actions, people with a heart could still detect the clues. Zhou Xuexi's connections are so deep, and he got the news very quickly.

As soon as he heard that his future son-in-law was in danger, the old man rushed to report the news. He had already boarded the Fengjun chariot, so the Zhou family could not stand by and watch.

"Old Duan has his schemes, and we also have ways to deal with it. Things haven't gotten that bad yet. If we run back outside the customs in desperation, it will be ruined!"

Zhou Xuexi also sat down, staring at Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, tell me the truth, did you sell weapons to Zhang Xun?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled noncommittally, and Zhou Xuexi immediately understood, and he couldn't help but sigh, although Zhang Tinglan is very mature and experienced in handling things, but after all, he is young and doesn't know the severity. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. take it.

"Zhuoyan, if you want me to say that this is a big deal, but it's not fatal. If you withdraw from the customs, the old duan can't do anything about you. At most, there will be a verbal war. After a while, everything will pass."

"Duke Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but the matter is really not that bad. Since I dare to do such a thing, I have a way to deal with it."

"Zhuoyan, since that's the case, just tell me quickly, I feel a little uneasy in my heart!" Sun Liechen also interjected.

A confident smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face: "The truth of this matter depends on who said it. Some people tell the truth, but no one may believe it. This is a matter of character."

"Zhuoyan, you are being foolish to think this way. Do you think that the newspapers praised you as a role model for young soldiers, and then they will listen to you when you come out to explain any problems? This is a naive idea, and it will definitely not work! "

"Duke Zhou, you misunderstood. It's not that I believe that my reputation is good, but that there is a group of people whose character is extremely bad. No one will believe what they say!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Tinglan wrote a horoscope on the table, and then just laughed and said nothing!

Chapter 364 The Salt Field

"Feng Jun is double-faced and three-faced, secretly funding Zhang Xun!"

"The rebellious army may be behind the scenes!"

"The true nature of the bandits, explain the inside story of Fengjun's entry into the customs in detail."

……

After experiencing the test of war, the just-opened Xiangyun Teahouse suddenly flooded with countless tea guests, the restoration failed in an instant, the nobles of the Eight Banners were ransacked in large numbers, the fate of the little emperor, the conflict between Beiyang and Fengjun, all problems are irrelevant. With enough attraction, these tea drinkers exchanged various news with each other as soon as they met, and the teahouse was full of high-spirited chatter.

"Everyone, have you seen that, as the saying goes, it's hard to draw a dragon or a tiger, but it's hard to know people's faces but not their hearts. At the beginning, the Feng army entered the customs so quickly and won consecutive victories. Many people praised them. Now their true colors have been exposed! They actually Selling arms to Zhang Xun, maybe they were the ones who instigated the restoration, this is their sinister intention!"

"No way, the newspapers praised them to the sky a few days ago, and Fengjun is indeed helping the victims. Many ordinary people are pointing at them to live. There are not many troops in the world who can do good things. If Fengjun also It’s unreliable, and there’s nothing to hope for in the future.”

"This is where people's intentions are sinister. They know how to sell their reputations, but they never thought that the fire could not be contained in the paper, and sooner or later there would be leaks..."

While several tea guests were sighing, a businessman in his thirties suddenly laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, you read the newspaper and listen to the news, but you can't just listen to the wind and the rain, and believe what someone says. Haven't you noticed who wrote these articles?"

"My lord, if you have any news, tell us all about it?"

"Everyone, Yin Chang is the one who took the lead in writing the article. I don't need to say more about what he does. The other people are all related to the Eight Banners. If you say they jumped out to scold Feng Jun, can you believe it?"

After hearing this, all the tea guests were thinking again, and someone suddenly realized: "No wonder it happened, it turned out that the Fengjun raided the house of the Prince of the Eight Banners, and they were dissatisfied, so they wrote an article in the newspaper, Slandering Feng Jun, these guys are simply too hateful, why not deal with them?"

"What are you dealing with? This group of people are hiding in Dongjiaomin Lane, relying on the protection of foreigners, and talking nonsense. I think Feng Jun is right to deal with these princes and nobles. The only problem is that they haven't wiped them all out."

"That's right, in the past, they were domineering, how many people suffered from their harm, and made the world into such a virtuous place, let alone confiscating property, it is right to chop off a few heads!"

……

In Beijing, Tianjin and other places, there are such discussions everywhere, and there is a lot of turmoil, but the remarks that are unfavorable to Fengjun have not formed a climate at all, and not many people believe Fengjun's accusations.There are also newspapers that specifically reported that Fengjun did sell some arms to the braided army before the restoration, but I am afraid that Fengjun was also deceived by Zhang Xun. It is impossible for Fengjun to subsidize the braided army or even direct the restoration.

"What happened, who leaked the news?"

The old duan was about to launch a public opinion offensive, but before him there were overwhelming articles accusing Fengjun in the newspapers, and what he was talking about was the issue of arms. The author of these articles, Lao Duan was immediately dumbfounded.

They were all old and young from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even an old guy like Yinchang. Seeing this, the old Duan threw the newspaper on the ground and cursed: "These useless bastards, who told them to talk nonsense?" , Yinchang is also confused, he is simply a bad thing, not enough to succeed but more to fail!"

The old Duan has always been deflated in front of Fengjun, and finally found an excuse to fight back, but it was used by the Eight Banners in advance. The same thing, different people say the effect is completely different, now anyone who scolds Fengjun will believe it, only No one would believe these Eight Banners disciples at all.
