Fengxian Jiangshan

They were directly tied up like zongzi, and they were detained.

"Young Master Zhang, these five guys are from the Beiyang Army. If you arrest them, will there be any trouble?" Liu Shucheng asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry, quickly restore the order here, I will go to Zhang Dashuai to deal with it now."

Zhang Tinglan escorted the five Beiyang soldiers and quickly left the Minsheng Department Store.However, the news spread like wildfire. Fengjun arrested people from Beiyang. Whether this will cause a contest between the two largest forces in Fengtian, everyone has no idea.

We must know that although Zhang Zuolin is powerful and Fengtian's boss, Emperor Yuan stands behind those Beiyang troops. If old Yuan gets angry, whether Zhang Zuolin can resist, everyone has no idea!

The atmosphere in Fengtian soon became tense, and the news quickly spread to the Beiyang Army's barracks. Duan Zhigui didn't care about them. The discipline of these soldiers was already very poor, with a lot of bad habits. Now that there is no restraint, they are even more lawless.

There were those who gambled, those who smoked opium, and those who fought. The general camp was in a mess, and the generals were in a mess. Originally, the head of the regiment, Lu Lin, was in charge of leading the troops on a daily basis.However, Lu Lin also disliked Fengtian's harsh conditions. The head of the group hired an actor and spent his days drinking and drinking.

A good Beiyang elite soldier, because of poor management, the combat effectiveness plummeted, and a gang of soldiers even became a cancerous tumor.

However, these Beiyang soldiers did not feel their own depravity at all. On the contrary, they all looked above their heads. When Lao Yuan became the emperor, they also seemed to be rising with the tide, becoming more lawless and domineering.

As soon as they heard that some Beiyang soldiers had been captured by the Feng army, this group of people quit immediately.Crying to find Fengjun to settle accounts and save Beiyang's face, more and more soldiers gathered. At this time, several other battalion commanders in charge saw that something big was going to happen, so they had to find Lu Lin.

The head of the regiment is comfortable in the gentle township. When he saw someone disturbing his dream, Lu Lin immediately turned his face. He came to the barracks angrily. Just when the soldiers were about to go out to find Feng Jun people.

"Captain, we Beiyang have been bullied by others. You must always stand up for us. The pro-army of our majestic emperor is now mixed with people and ghosts, how can we have the face to see other robes!"

Lu Lin also gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, everyone, there is no one in this world who can bully our Beiyang Army. Whoever dares to arrest our people will make him pay the price."

When they were ruthless.Suddenly, a guard ran over in a panic from outside.

"My lord. It's not good. The troops of the Fengjun Brigade are rushing over here. It looks like they are going to surround our barracks."

After Lu Lin heard this, he trembled suddenly, and the northwest wind blew along his neck.Straight to the heart.Regardless of how fiercely he yelled, Lu Lin was really a little scared of Feng Jun, especially Zhang Zuolin, who went to the meeting alone.The aura alone completely subdued Lu Lin.

This guy thought that there would not be much movement about the matter of the soldiers, and Lao Zhang would not necessarily not sell him face, but the fact was beyond his expectation, Feng Jun actually dispatched a large group of troops, and surrounded the general camp stand up.Lu Lin's hands and feet were numb at the time, and of course he couldn't sit still, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to get their weapons and take precautions.

As a result, these soldiers got lazy and used to be busy with gambling. Now they are in a mess. Some people can't even find their military uniforms. As a result, I couldn't find my team again.

Just as they were in a mess, the sound of horseshoes outside the barracks had already arrived. Five hundred cavalry surrounded the barracks first, and then a regiment of infantry rushed up, followed by artillery battalions and machine gun units. Surrounded the barracks of the Beiyang Army.

Surrounded by Zhang Tinglan and others, Zhang Zuolin appeared in front of the camp.

"Commander Lu, Marshal Zhang came to inspect the barracks, don't you welcome him?"

When Lu Lin saw Zhang Zuolin rushing over so aggressively, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to offend Zhang Zuolin, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Lao Zhang in.

Zhang Zuolin glanced at those Beiyang soldiers who were still in a mess, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.This group of Beiyang soldiers can't keep up with Fengjun. Ever since he had sufficient funds and ammunition, Zhang Zuolin has worked hard on the training of the troops. Therefore, Fengtian was able to act so quickly after receiving the transfer order and surrounded the Beiyang army. .

"Brothers, I, Lao Zhang, was wrongly loved by His Majesty, and was appointed as the Governor of Fengtian, in charge of the military affairs of a province. I must work hard, be worthy of Your Majesty's great grace, and be worthy of the support of the people. Just today, five soldiers ran away. When they went to the department store to cause trouble and seriously disrupted social order, I think it must be severely punished to alert the morale of the army."

Lao Zhang has already figured out the temperament of the Beiyang gang, which is typical of bullying and fearing the hard, so Lao Zhang adopted the method of taking the lead, and directly overwhelmed the top.

Facing the mighty Zhang Zuolin, Lu Lin lacked confidence, but at this moment he had to speak up.

"Dashuai Zhang, the brothers have been away from home for a long time, and the New Year is coming soon, and I feel a little dissatisfied in my heart. Let me vent a little bit, I don't think there is any need to pursue it too much!"

"No, the military discipline is the strictest. There can be no bargaining. If you make a mistake, you will be punished." With a wave of Zhang Zuolin's hand, someone brought those soldiers over and pushed them in front of everyone.

"These five people smashed and robbed the shop and disturbed the social order. The nature is very bad, but fortunately no serious losses were caused. Therefore, each of them was beaten with thirty lashes and executed immediately!"

When Lao Zhang gave an order, the soldiers pushed the five people to the front, picked up the whips, and were about to execute them.At this time, all the Beiyang soldiers present were furious, and Zhang Zuolin came to slap him in the face. They all looked at Lu Lin in unison, hoping that he would show some attitude.

Lu Lin hesitated to speak several times at this time, he really wanted to stop him, but when he saw the machine guns and cannons of the soldiers of the Feng army, he couldn't help feeling terrified. did not see it.

At this time, the executioner waved his whip, and every time the whip went down, there was a bloodstain, and soon the five soldiers were beaten so that their parents screamed.The other Beiyang soldiers couldn't help but feel a bit like a dead dog when they saw it. They felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that the whip had been whipped on their hearts and faces. Some of them lowered their heads in shame, Some people clenched their fists, aggrieved.

Thirty lashes were whipped quickly, and the five people were all limp on the ground. Lao Zhang waved his hand again, and more than a dozen carts rushed to the barracks, and boxes of things were removed from the carts.

"Brothers, I heard that I have been in arrears with everyone for a long time. It is almost the Chinese New Year. I will bring you some New Year's goods. It is a New Year's greeting for everyone!"

Chapter 134 Donation

Zhang Zuolin ordered his men to unload boxes of cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes from the carriage, as well as hats and gloves and other warm clothes. In addition, he prepared 4 yuan in oceans, all of which were distributed to these Beiyang soldiers. People are a little at a loss.

Just now, Lao Zhang beat Beiyang soldiers aggressively, and now he has become a warm and intimate leader. His role changed so quickly, it was like changing faces in a Sichuan opera. Lin, I hope the leader can come up with an idea.

"Commander Lu, it is reasonable to say that your military salary should be paid directly to the patrol envoy, and Lao Zhang has nothing to do with it. But since they are all on the ground of Fengtian, you can't watch everyone starve. Standing by and watching is not something Zhang did." .”

Lu Lin is not stupid, Lao Zhang is a typical slap to a sweet date, although the whip did not fall on Lu Lin just now, but his face is also hot, people want face, he really wants to refuse These things, but he didn't dare to look at the eagerness of other Beiyang soldiers, after all, this sweet date is still very tasty.

"Dashuai Zhang, I thank you on behalf of the brothers, and I will send the things later."

"Send it now, in front of me." Lao Zhang said unceremoniously: "I am not rich, and these things are also squeezed out from between the teeth, and they must be given to everyone in a fair and reasonable manner." brother."

As the so-called wild goose plucks its hair, this is a fine tradition of Beiyang. When the things are in Lu Lin's hands, it is good to keep a little in each layer, and finally half of them are in the hands of soldiers. This is Beiyang's habit for many years. Not giving them a chance, Lu Lin was full of resentment, but he couldn't get angry again, and Zhang Zuolin was suppressing him.The soldiers below are also looking forward to it.

At this time, the Beiyang soldiers were whispering, they hadn't paid the full amount of military pay for many years, and they had to face layers of exploitation. Now that Zhang Zuolin was going to pay the military salary in public, they were immediately excited, and they were very excited about Zhang Da. Shuai's dissatisfaction quickly disappeared, replaced by respect and awe.

Zhang Tinglan had always been by Zhang Zuolin's side, and he was the one who came up with this idea. Old Zhang was determined to reverse his position, and this Beiyang army was a bit of an eyesore.If they jumped out at a critical moment, it might affect the overall situation, so seize this opportunity and use both hard and soft tactics to subdue them.In order to ensure the smooth operation of the reversal, Lao Zhang agreed to Zhang Tinglan's suggestion.That's why they came here with great fanfare.

In fact, it turned out that Zhang Zuolin also had the intention to recruit these people into his subordinates.After all, Zhang Zuolin was also eager to expand his power, but as soon as he saw their state, Zhang Zuolin knew that this army was abolished. Maybe they were still elite before, but without restraint, their combat effectiveness has declined too much.

And during this time, Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan kept blowing wind in Lao Zhang's ear.It is suggested that the regularization and professionalization of the army should be strengthened, and the habits of the old army should be changed.Originally, Zhang Zuolin didn't care too much about it. After fighting for so many years, I still use two juniors to tell me how to fight!

But then went to the Independent Brigade to inspect several times.Zhang Zuolin was completely shocked. Although the Independent Brigade hadn't been trained yet, it had begun to have the temperament of a strong soldier. Walking, sitting and lying were all strictly regulated.

Zhang Zuolin has a lot of advantages, that is, he is kind, and since the facts are in front of him, it is necessary to carry out formalization construction.Therefore, Lao Zhang looked down on the Beiyang soldiers with serious bad habits, and gave them something to let them be honest and not cause trouble.

All the Beiyang soldiers took the cotton-padded clothes and the ocean, with joyful smiles on their faces.

"Brothers, you have taken the things. I only have one request, that is, you must abide by Fengtian's rules. You can do whatever you want in the barracks. If you commit crimes outside, Zhang will never forgive you lightly. Whatever crime you should commit How to deal with it."

Sure enough, things are not taken for nothing, and these Beiyang soldiers also understand this truth. I am afraid that they will be honest in the future. Lao Zhang turned around and was about to leave. There is a batch of New Year's goods delivered, let the brothers also eat meat and eat dumplings."

Lao Zhang played the face-changing skill very skillfully, which made Lu Lin feel a little uncomfortable, so he had to honestly send Zhang Zuolin out of the barracks.

"Ting Lan, if the Beiyang Army is like this, their combat effectiveness will not be very good!" Zhang Zuolin said with great emotion.

"Seventh Lord, there is a raging army, and a raging nest. With a commander like Duan Zhigui, even the best soldiers will be abolished. In fact, there are still many capable people in Beiyang. Take the non-commissioned officers studying in Japan as an example. Almost They all work for Beiyang, and their soldiers are much better than ours. But the bad habits are serious, and it is difficult to become a real first-class army, so as long as the Fengjun catches up, they will definitely surpass Beiyang in the future."

Zhang Tinglan already knows Zhang Zuolin very well. This Marshal Zhang is ambitious and unwilling to be lonely. If he wants to believe that Beiyang is strong outside the middle, he may do something. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan needs to be vaccinated. Beiyang is not the current Fengjun. Challenging.

Zhang Zuolin is also very clear that the strength of the Fengjun Army is still far behind. Lao Zhang thought for a while and said: "The training idea of ​​the Independent Brigade is very good, but we still have to work hard. When it is about the same time, I am going to pull it out and fight against the 27th Division. Son, we Fengjun should determine a direction of development."

Most of the soldiers in the Independent Brigade are children of two families, and their family backgrounds are clean. Even some veterans have undergone repeated training by Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan, and their old habits have disappeared.The main body of the 27th Division is still those old brothers who crawled out of the bandit's den. When it comes to old habits, they are not much worse than Beiyang, but Lao Zhang's restraint is tight.

The two troops actually represent the two paths of the Fengjun. Lao Zhang asked the army to conduct exercises and confrontations, just to see which army is more effective, and at the same time to determine the development of the Fengjun. Zhang Zuolin knows best how big his ambition is. All are based on strength.

After solving the Beiyang soldiers, within two days, Cai E, the former governor of Yunnan, and Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun and others issued a telegram announcing the independence of Yunnan, and at the same time formed a protectionist party to openly oppose the monarchy by force.

The independence of Yunnan was like a thunderbolt, shaking the land of China. Before that, Yang Du, Liang Shiyi, Duan Zhigui and other imperial officials had been advocating the support of all people, and the old Yuan ascended the throne and obeyed the sky. Their propaganda once convinced Lao Yuan that this was indeed the case.
