Fengxian Jiangshan

At this time, hundreds of Fengjun soldiers rushed in from the outside. These soldiers wore their hats crookedly, their military appearance was disorganized, and they all held guns in their hands. They rushed to the Dudu Mansion and confronted Lu Lin's men. .

"What do you want to do? This is the Governor's Mansion. Do you want to rebel?" Lu Lin asked loudly.

These soldiers didn't think about the common people, and they were not afraid at all. A formidable officer in his thirties at the head asked loudly: "I just want to rebel. Duan has ruined our jobs. We can't drink the northwest wind. Now we can't drink the wind." Come to find Duan Zhigui, as long as he agrees to support us, we can talk about anything, otherwise don’t think that you have guns, and what I have in my hand is not a decoration!”

The two groups of soldiers confronted each other, and the pressure of the crowd disappeared immediately. They hurriedly took away the injured and gradually retreated to the back.

These soldiers didn't just appear randomly, they were all artillery battalions of the Independent Brigade, and the officer who spoke was Yang Yuting. It can be said that this is just a play directed by Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan.

Although Zhang Zuolin nominally went to become a reviewing soldier, his eyes had long been fixed on the city.Duan Zhigui sent people to detain Liu Shucheng and others, and then closed Fengtian Chamber of Commerce. Old Zhang was very clear about these situations, so he immediately brought Zhang Tinglan over.

"Ting Lan, you caused these things, and it's up to you to come up with a countermeasure!"

"Seventh Lord, I think this time we must correct our position. We can neither attack the people of Fengtian in order to please Yuan Shikai, nor directly confront Duan Zhigui in order to win over public opinion. What we have to do is to be a mediator in the middle!"

What Lao Zhang admired most about Zhang Tinglan was his clear mind. What he said was in Zhang Zuolin's arms. Offending the common people was shaking his own foundation. Zhang Zuolin would not be so stupid.

But angering Duan Zhigui, and Yuan Shikai behind him, are also completely confused. After all, Lao Yuan has a righteous name. If Lao Yuan turns to support Feng Delin, Lao Zhang's idea of ​​seeking Fengtian is really easy to run aground. Mediation is the best way.

"Seventh Lord, I suggest that you immediately send a telegram to Yang Shiqi, explaining Fengtian's situation in detail. Yang Shiqi and Duan Zhigui are fighting each other for favor, and he will definitely file a complaint in front of Lao Yuan. In addition, the more important thing is that we want Fengtian To control the situation, avoid flooding public opinion, and suppress Duan Zhigui's momentum."

Having said this, Zhang Tinglan whispered a few words to Lao Zhang. Zhang Zuolin smiled and nodded repeatedly. He quickly arranged for Yuan Jinkai to send a telegram, and he himself mobilized the troops of the 27th Division to make full preparations.

Zhang Tinglan was not idle either. He dispatched [-] capable personnel from the armed police corps, and asked them to disguise themselves as ordinary people and mix in the parade. When necessary, they were responsible for protecting the people. It was these people who brought Lu Lin and the police beat him up.

In addition, Yang Yuting was invited to discuss with him, and Yang Yuting was asked to command the soldiers in the artillery battalion. Once there was a possibility of bloody conflict, they would rush out to stop the bloodshed.

Although people were killed or injured in the conflict, it would make matters worse and make Duan Zhigui even more disadvantaged, but Zhang Tinglan's conscience does not allow him to do so.He is the driving force behind the scenes, but he doesn't want to be the real executioner. After all, he is not a decisive figure.

It is precisely because of these preparations that this kind of situation will appear in today's parade. The two groups of soldiers confronted each other with real knives and guns.

At this time, not far away, Zhang Zuolin rushed in with some guards. When he saw the Fengjun soldiers, Zhang Zuolin immediately widened his eyes.

"You bastards, what on earth do you want to do? How dare you come to the Governor's Mansion to act wildly? I'll kill you!"

When these soldiers saw Zhang Zuolin coming, they all showed panic expressions: "Master, we are forced to do nothing, Duan smashed our jobs!"

"Mr. Zhang, these are all your soldiers. How dare you do this without your order? Don't pretend, you wait for the general to deal with you!"

Lu Lin spoke sarcastically at this time, and Lao Zhang stared at him with a fierce look on his face: "What are you, and you have a role to interrupt, get the hell out of here, I, Lao Zhang, will go see the general right now." .”

As he said that, Zhang Zuolin swung off his horse and walked towards the gate of the mansion alone with his head held high.

Chapter 90 Money and Guns

People are different by nature. When Lao Zhang appeared, he carried a strong aura. Whether it was the thousands of parades or the Beiyang army like Lu Lin, they were all overwhelmed by Zhang Zuolin.

Lao Zhang was about to step into the gate of the mansion, but suddenly turned back, and before the parade, Zhang Zuolin bowed his hands to everyone.

"Fathers and elders, everyone must know Mr. Zhang. Please rest assured that Mr. Zhang will convey your thoughts to the general. It is not an option for you to surround the Dudu Mansion like this. Please leave temporarily. If something happens to Mr. Zhang If it doesn’t work out, no matter what you think about it, Zhang will definitely not stop you!”

Lao Zhang made a promise, and everyone present calmed down, gradually began to disperse, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Only then did Zhang Zuolin step into the gate of the Governor's Mansion with his head held high. Originally, Lu Lin asked his subordinates to pile up a lot of sandbags here, as if he was facing a big enemy. Now that Lao Zhang is here, they dare not stop this handsome Hu. Lao Zhang is so single, swaggering walked into the Dudu's mansion.

Duan Zhigui had already received the report from his subordinates. He had a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Zhang Zuolin coming in, he suddenly stood up.

"Zhang Yuting, what kind of tricks are you playing? How dare you let your subordinates rush into my mansion? Do you want to see those rebels and mobs take my head off so that you will be satisfied? Fengtian will be in your palm thing?"

"General, you are trying to wrong the dead. I heard that someone launched a parade and rushed into your mansion, so I rushed here non-stop to protect your safety. My old Zhang always said that, Jiang Hu People value loyalty the most, and Zhang will never forget the kindness of the President, and of course he will not have any thoughts of disobedience!"

"Speaking is better than singing. You dare to say that those soldiers who caused trouble are not your subordinates. Everyone can see clearly what they did. How can you deny it!" Duan Zhigui was not an idiot. Businessmen, it took more than a day before and after the outbreak, but the momentum was so violent, and there were only so many people participating. If there was no driving force behind it, no one would believe it!

"General, this matter is indeed Zhang's fault, but please allow me to explain a few things. Over the years, the 27th Division's military salary has not been paid in full, and the subordinates have to find a way to survive or run a business. , or think of something else. Recently, the North Market has been developed, and a large amount of bricks, tiles and wood have been brought in, and people need to be guarded. Ordinary patrols are unreliable, so Xingye Company has hired a group of helpers to take care of security. You put those businessmen Withhold it, and if the North Market can’t continue, these people’s jobs will be gone.”

"If I don't have a job, can I make trouble with those mobs? Do you still see me as a general?" Although Duan Zhigui was still stubborn, his momentum had weakened a lot.Military pay is a big problem for armies everywhere, and it is even more common for soldiers to argue about their pay.

Duan Zhigui also knew that these eight uncles Qiu could do anything, so he also felt that things were difficult.In fact, this is due to Duan Zhigui's confusion. He decided to attack the North Market, but he didn't carefully understand the background of the North Market. If he knew the truth, he would clear up Zhang Zuolin's purely talking about the train.

Division 27 is not a simple worker, but the real owner and manager of the North Market!

"General, don't worry. After I go back, I will definitely teach these bastards a lesson. However, please make up your mind about the current situation. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets to march, and Fengtian City went on strike, strikes, and strikes. The whole city is at a standstill, which has a very bad effect, and I am worried that it will endanger the prestige of the President!"

Of course, Zhang Zuolin didn't need to talk about this kind of thing. Duan Zhigui also thought of it. Now is the critical moment for the godfather to ascend the throne. Representatives of public opinion have been sent from all over the country, and they will gather in Beijing to vote and discuss the issue of the national system.As a result, such a serious incident happened in Fengtian, once the godfather was humiliated and the great cause of ascension to the throne was affected, there would be no redemption.

"This matter really needs to be resolved, Yuting, do you have any regulations?"

"General, there are two reasons for such a large-scale parade this time. The first is that you have detained some Fengtian businessmen. The second is the issue of the devaluation of Fengtian tickets. As long as it can be resolved, no one will Parade!"

Duan Zhigui's eyes widened immediately, and he waved his hands again and again: "Absolutely impossible, there is no discussion! I can let people go, but they must pay the full amount of money as required. As for the issue of offering tickets, it is none of my business to go to the official bank. !"

Who will spit out the fat that has been swallowed? Fengtian Official Bank's reserve fund worth more than 100 million oceans has fallen into Duan Zhigui's pocket, part of it has been remitted to Lao Yuan, and the rest is locked in Duan Zhigui's small treasury Then, how could he let it out.

"General, you have your difficulties, everyone knows it, but I ask you to think carefully, Fengtian strike is not that simple!"

"Isn't it simple? Are those muddy legs going to turn the world upside down?"

"Of course it's not them, but the big powers. Fengtian just signed a contract with the United Kingdom to supply them with goods. Just a few days ago, the United Kingdom reached an agreement, and Fengtian and Russia also reached an agreement to provide them with war materials. There are two powerful countries Staring, Fengtian is in turmoil, will they remain indifferent? And there is Japan watching, I am afraid of causing some diplomatic troubles."

Nothing else works these days, only the great powers are more effective than Shang Fang's sword, Duan Zhigui can't be indifferent now.

"Who told them to sign a contract with the big powers casually, why don't you ask my opinion on this kind of thing, it's just nonsense!"

The bullshit is also done by the great powers, can your Highness Duan still manage it?Zhang Zuolin simply ignored Duan Zhigui, but the old god sat on the side, watching Duan Zhigui grind back and forth on the ground.

"The big powers have to give them face. I can let them go, but the president is about to take the throne, and they have to contribute funds. This is absolutely unavoidable!"

Lao Zhang has long defined his identity as a mediator, so he has to make both parties take a step back so that he can handle it.

"General, more than 200 million is not a small amount. These people can't get together for a while. If Fengtian business stops, they will not be able to make any money. I think so, first pay 20, and you let them all go." After that, wait for them to have funds before continuing to contribute!"

When Lao Zhang proposed this compromise, Duan Zhigui's face was gloomy. 20 yuan was far from satisfying his appetite, but Duan Zhigui was frightened by the appalling public opinion, so he had no choice but to agree temporarily.

"I can delay for a few days, but don't try to delay the money!"

"Don't worry, General, I am willing to serve as the guarantor and promise to hand over all the money. Another point is the issue of the vote. I have heard that the amount involved is as high as 1000 million. If the vote becomes It is equivalent to taking out two or three oceans from every Fengtian person, and the common people really can't afford it!"

As soon as Zhang Zuolin mentioned the ticket, Duan Zhigui immediately became very ugly as if he had been stepped on the tail.

"I didn't discuss this matter. I donated all my money to the President. If they have the ability, they can go to Beijing to ask for money!"

Zhang Zuolin had already discussed with Zhang Tinglan yesterday, and he had already guessed that Duan Zhigui would play a scoundrel. In fact, they also hoped that Duan Zhigui would do the same, otherwise things would not be easy to handle!

"General, the depreciation of Fengpiao is very violent now, and panic has already arisen. Even if you return all those reserves, it will not work. I have inquired, and the original reserve of Fengpiao is not enough, and it is impossible to deal with large-scale run on."

Duan Zhigui was dumbfounded as well, he didn't expect it to be so bad. In his view, money is just a piece of colorful paper, and he doesn't understand that credit is the life of money.

"Yuting, what can you do?"
